00:03:18.000He's not playing a club, he's playing a fucking sold-out arena that are like, bring out Trump!
00:03:22.000If he brought other guys to do 10 in front of him, you know, to hype him up and shit, bring Jared and- I'll tell you what, once he's out of the White House, he's gonna be more popular than ever.
00:03:39.000Well, but Reagan is a big one, though, because Reagan became like this hero afterwards, but during the whole Iran-Contra thing, when he was going on television, say he doesn't remember, do you know what Jimmy Tingle is?
00:03:50.000Great stand-up comic from Boston, but he had a joke, I remember, I was an open-miker, this was back in the 80s, when Reagan was brought in front of whoever, was it Congress that he was talking about selling guns to Iran?
00:04:04.000When he did it, he would say, I don't remember.
00:04:56.000And my question to you is, would you have approved the sending of these letters to Congress by John Poindexter if you knew that they adopted false information that had been previously supplied?
00:05:20.000Right, at some point he does seem trapped in too many questions.
00:05:23.000It's kind of like, I watched that clip of Betsy DeVos, And that Wisconsin senator going at it about how she doesn't know the numbers for charter schools.
00:05:32.000I don't know if you've seen this, but she's unaware of the numbers presented of how many charter schools fail.
00:05:37.000But he's throwing so many statistics at her.
00:06:22.000Even if someone's good at that, if they do that and they hit you with a bunch of stats and fucks you up so hard you can't answer their original question and you're supposed to be grilling them.
00:07:22.000The CIA, or whoever was working for the CIA, sold drugs in the inner cities, was brought in through Freeway Ricky, who's the original Rick Ross.
00:09:09.000Especially if you're an older person that's maybe got a difficult job, like you have to carry things and move things around that are heavy, you're in fucking pain.
00:09:27.000Well, and then what happens is these doctors, this woman, Jacqueline Cleggett, that's who the documentary focuses on, she's running a pill mill, right?
00:09:34.000So, like, she's writing 70, 80 prescriptions a day, and you get all these doctors on there that are like, that's impossible.
00:09:40.000To see 70 people is not—you couldn't do it even if you were fucking— How could you see 70 people in a day?
00:12:09.000And there's no computer system to check, so you just keep doing it.
00:12:12.000And look, everybody who does drugs, does drugs for a reason, right?
00:12:15.000Whether you do real heroin, whether you do coke, like you're doing drugs because, I mean, it might not be a reason that makes sense to you, but they want to do those drugs, right?
00:12:23.000You can come up with reasons why you want to take painkillers.
00:12:58.000And I was on a continual motion machine.
00:13:01.000I had a patella tendon graft, which means they'd cut a piece out of your bone of your kneecap and a piece of bone out of your shin and connect it to a strip of your patella tendon.
00:13:10.000Then they open you up like a fish and they screw this in on one bone and screw that on another bone.
00:13:15.000They reconstruct you a new ACL. It's awesome.
00:15:43.000If you go to a doctor, if you've got some kind of thing, like a headache or whatever, and they give you those super Advils that triple the dose or whatever, I take those things and they're nothing.
00:17:09.000The mutation in the MC1R gene also occurs in brunettes, although it's less common.
00:17:14.000In the latest study, the researchers tested for the MC1R gene variant, finding that in 65 of 67 redheads, holy shit, and in 20 of 77 people with brown or black hair.
00:18:06.000If there's a room full of people, right, and a bunch of PC mongers or social justice warriors are in the room, everyone would be like, you can't say anything about him, can't say anything about her, about her.
00:18:16.000If they got to a redhead, they'd be like, it's fine.
00:22:03.000That fight scene was one of my favorite fight scenes.
00:22:05.000When he fucking hits these intense moments, like in The Revenant as well, it's another movie where he has these moments where like, fuck, you forget how good that guy is.
00:22:42.000This is where things are swirly, right?
00:22:45.000Because Bruce Lee wasn't like a professional athlete per se.
00:22:49.000He was an actor, but he was also one of the most important martial arts pioneers ever.
00:22:54.000Because he was like a true dyed-in-the-wool innovator.
00:22:58.000And if you look at his skills, like when he did the Green Hornet and Game of Death and Chinese Connection, just his kicking and striking skills.
00:24:41.000So back in the day, Bruce Lee was the only guy.
00:24:44.000He was training in Wing Chun and quite a few other martial arts he studied, but then he started studying Western boxing, he started studying wrestling, he started studying judo, and he did some grappling training with Gene LaBelle, who was supposed to kind of represent the Brad Pitt character,
00:25:02.000The Brad Pitt character is this ultimate badass stunt guy in that movie, and him and Bruce Lee get in a fight, and he kind of kicks Bruce Lee's ass.
00:25:30.000And he just picked Bruce Lee up, like he would pick up you or me, and walked around with him on his shoulder, just being cute with him.
00:25:39.000And Bruce Lee was like, okay, teach me.
00:25:41.000And Bruce Lee and him trained together.
00:25:43.000And even in, I think it was Game of Death, in the opening scenes, he gets this guy, it's either in a crucifix or an armbar, I forget, but he gets this guy in a submission technique, which would be...
00:26:36.000If Bruce Lee had a fight with Gene LaBelle, Gene LaBelle would grab him and just like he would do you or just like you do me, he would choke him unconscious.
00:28:45.000I mean, the only guy that, like, comes to mind that dynamically is such a remarkable athlete, like Bo Jackson, is maybe the most impressive...
00:28:54.000Quiet, humble athlete that my generation's ever seen.
00:28:57.000Bo Jackson was not only a pro baseball player but a pro football player and was fucking insane at both.
00:29:03.000And when he was done, because of injury unfortunately, he relegated himself to still becoming this very centered athlete.
00:29:10.000There's a video of him shooting bow and arrow with his toes and ripping bullseyes.
00:29:15.000I mean, he's an incredible dynamic athlete who's very quiet and humble and was always kind of the guy who never boasted the way that his image was put up, right?
00:29:25.000Like, his image was put up to a degree that was, like, one of the greatest of all—like, Bo knows.
00:29:35.000Bo was never a guy that was very, like, in-your-face and loud and boisterous, you know, like— A guy today would be like, you know, like Ochocinco, you know, like Chad Johnson.
00:29:44.000All those guys, they're big, flashy, they're talkers.
00:30:27.000He got really into bow hunting, but now he can't draw a bow back anymore.
00:30:31.000His shoulders are so fucked up from football that he has to use a crossbow now.
00:30:38.000I mean, he's one of those guys that was—I guess the only way I can compare him is just his humility was overwhelming.
00:30:44.000He never really was a loud, boisterous guy when he—both when he played and after his career.
00:30:49.000So that was the only thing that I think would parallel Bruce Lee because everything I know about Bruce Lee is like— But this is my difference.
00:31:23.000You know, that's the one thing that if I was going to make an argument against me as a commentator for the MMA, for MMA, I've never fought in MMA. Like, it's kind of hilarious that I'm a commentator for MMA. Even though I'm a fan of it and I know mostly what I'm talking about.
00:31:42.000You must know most of what you're talking about.
00:31:43.000That's what I know mostly what I'm talking about.
00:31:45.000When it comes to wrestling, it's really interesting to work with guys like Dominic Cruz or work with Daniel Cormier.
00:31:50.000Daniel Cormier in particular is one of the best wrestlers to ever compete in MMA. He's an active wrestling coach and Dominic does a lot of coaching too and a lot of MMA coaching too.
00:32:00.000But both guys are so good at breaking down the technical aspects of it.
00:32:03.000It makes you realize how little you really know about certain specialties.
00:32:08.000But are they good at what you, the difference is, are they good at also articulating emotion and the public viewpoint?
00:32:16.000I can give expert analysis of ground fighting.
00:32:19.000Of ground fighting, I can give expert.
00:32:23.000You know, not to blow my horn, but I know what's going on.
00:32:26.000Like, the way a lot of people know what's going on with boxing, I can tell you what's going on with chokes and when someone's in trouble, when someone's not.
00:32:34.000And I can see it because I've been strangled a million times.
00:33:09.000You know, I kickboxed, and I mean, if anybody looks at my record, I had three kickboxing fights, and I don't know how many Taekwondo fights.
00:33:22.000I lost my last kickboxing fight, but as far as Taekwondo, I have no idea.
00:33:26.000I won the Massachusetts State Championship four years in a row, and I won, I think it was called the American Open, which is a big tournament that I won.
00:33:36.000That was a big thing that was in Connecticut, and I fought the national champion in the finals, and I thought I'd beat him.
00:33:44.000That was when I was like 19, 20. That was when I was at my best.
00:33:48.000When I was around 21 before I tried out for the nationals and I was going to try to make the Olympic team, That's when I was starting to box and kickbox and I was losing faith in Taekwondo.
00:33:59.000I was realizing that I had a distorted perception of what I could do.
00:34:04.000So you were way more engaged with boxing than you ever were with Taekwondo?
00:34:11.000I would go to these kickboxing gyms, and when I would just, when I kickbox guys, I could kick them so hard, they couldn't get close enough to box me a lot of the time.
00:34:20.000So I'd kick them in the arms, I'd kick them, and they'd be like, what the fuck?
00:34:24.000And then I could, even though my hands weren't as good as those, my legs were so much better.
00:35:31.000And then as I was getting into kickboxing, because around 21 was when I got into comedy, right after my 21st birthday.
00:35:37.000And so when I was getting into, like, really into kickboxing was like 20 into 21. And at the same time, I was thinking about doing stand-up.
00:35:46.000And at the same time, I was realizing Taekwondo was bullshit.
00:35:48.000Not really bullshit, but it's incomplete.
00:35:52.000The problem is it's incomplete if someone knows how to box.
00:35:54.000Like when someone closes the distance on you, you don't know what to do with your hands.
00:35:58.000You don't know how to protect yourself.
00:36:00.000You don't know where the punches are coming from.
00:36:01.000You're not used to it, and you have to get used to it.
00:36:04.000And the only way to get used to it is to learn how to actually box.
00:36:06.000And I didn't know how to actually box until I was like 19 and 20 when I started going to these other gyms.
00:36:14.000When I when I realized I had these giant holes Trying out for Taekwondo like doing Taekwondo tournaments and I still competed in Taekwondo But less I wasn't excited about it anymore because I realized like this is if I want to be a complete martial artist like I want to follow like Bruce Lee's teaching I've found a hole in my game and I have to patch that shit up There's a whole part that I thought I knew how to do and I didn't I knew how to punch things like I could punch things hard But you think that's boxing until someone pops you with a double jab left hook Pop,
00:38:11.000Big holes, like if I was in a street fight with one of those boxers, and I was in a bar where I couldn't throw a kick, I would be in deep shit.
00:38:55.000He does have, and this is something that you would share, his acumen for the game is so strong, but also his opinions are so real that he's not trying to save a job.
00:39:07.000A lot of times these announcers, they're trying to just save a job.
00:39:46.000Dominic Cruz, Paul Felder, who's great at it too.
00:39:48.000And all these guys that have fought before, especially at the really highest level, maybe even fought some of the guys they're doing commentary for.
00:39:55.000They can give real insight as to things this guy does, what they train for, tendencies, stuff like that.
00:40:01.000Do any of these ex-fighters ever become trainers or coaches?
00:40:04.000Because that's like the thing in the NBA is like become a coach it's like they all want to become a coach not not as much in the NFL but NBA specifically it's big with that yeah but you know what makes me sad when fighters become coaches and then get fat well they all get fat dude a lot of them get fat not all of them I don't want to call anybody out there's a bunch in boxing there's a bunch in MMA and then you see them and you're like damn dude what's going on you ain't training I'm eating.
00:40:30.000Well, when they're done fighting, man, they're just done.
00:40:34.000Well, because a lot of these athletes, they spend their every waking moment like not doing the fucked up thing that we all get to do.
00:40:42.000And so then when they get a break, I think at some point they're like, fuck it, dude.
00:40:45.000But that was one of the reasons why it's so impressive that a guy like George St. Pierre takes four years off and comes back better than ever because he never stopped training.
00:40:54.000You really never stop training, because he's a martial artist.
00:41:33.000He had just a depressed moment in his life.
00:41:35.000But we're talking about guys who become trainers after fighting, and they get fat.
00:41:39.000That makes me sad, because I think they're sad.
00:41:41.000Well, yeah, but they're also missing out on the thing that they used to get to do.
00:41:44.000I mean, it's got to be weird to put on a suit as a coach or a trainer or whatever, put on the proper gear when you're not doing the thing anymore and watching it.
00:41:53.000It's like I quit basketball my senior year because I liked partying a lot, and I was like...
00:42:07.000We were getting stoned and he invited me to go to a game because we knew one of the rival school guys who were playing and we wanted to see him afterwards.
00:42:14.000And I went and I was baked out of my head, but I was sitting in the bleachers watching them play and a piece of it killed me.
00:42:20.000I didn't think it was going to affect me because I was like, I'm over basketball.
00:43:45.000He's doing it differently, but he's still...
00:43:47.000So, like, to me, I always think when someone goes, oh, yeah, when I retire, it's like, you're never gonna fucking retire from comedy unless it tells you you gotta go away.
00:44:49.000He's getting better, but it's weird, man.
00:44:51.000It just feels like he's a people person.
00:44:53.000He wants to be around people, and now that he doesn't have that anymore, I'm like, go get a fucking shitty job at a clothing store or something.
00:45:01.000He's like, go get a bullshit job so you can talk to people, because being at the house is miserable.
00:45:39.000Sometimes when I come home to my parents' house, they've run out of material to talk about on Fox News, and they start getting really heavy into pop culture.
00:47:41.000I just think his brain is he's losing a lot of I tweeted something this morning because there was someone put up a video of Models on a runway on a catwalk and they're all tripping and falling in the same spot these dumb shoes They're wearing and I was like this is Biden's brain cells It's like they think they're on the right path until they get this spot and then they just can't fucking Did you see the thing that he was talking about God creating women?
00:48:03.000No, and then he called his wife his sister, you know the you know I forget what it was.
00:49:38.000And then he says, when he goes, he could have just said, all men and women are created, and he could have just said equal and gotten out of there and been like, fuck it.
00:50:04.000With anybody in the Democratic Party, when you watch these debates, is they all want to say the thing that they really feel, but they're tiptoeing because they're scared out of their fucking minds of someone going, Warren just said, see?
00:50:16.000And she's anti-trans because they're waiting for them to fuck up.
00:50:42.000The interview was great, but his perspective on the chaos is so perfect because he just takes a little bit of how dumb they are and just shows everybody and it says so much.
00:50:55.000A little dumb tweet says everything you need to know.
00:50:57.000He tweeted something today that was phenomenal.
00:50:59.000I was trying to remember what I was looking for because I couldn't find it.
00:51:01.000There was a series of – it was a tweet in response to a series of tweets about removing a flag that said woman, a noun, a female human.
00:51:12.000And then people were saying that's a transphobic dog whistle.
00:52:41.000We should know because it's either one of two things.
00:52:44.000Either it's crazy to say that it's transphobic because all it is is the biological scientific definition of a woman.
00:52:51.000And it's woman empowerment is maybe the initial intention was to be like, women, go women, but underneath it all it might be some fucked up.
00:52:58.000You can't say go women if it's women versus trans women.
00:53:01.000You can say go women if it's women versus men.
00:53:28.000Not someone who's like, hey, I don't think trans women should fight biological women and not tell them that they used to be a man for 30 years.
00:53:52.000There are groups out there that don't like trans people, like literally don't like them and think that they're all insane and that they all should be committed to mental institutions and that they should never call them by their female name and you should never treat them like they're a woman.
00:54:07.000Maybe that was the head of that group.
00:54:33.000Do you think that, just blankly, do you think that was the intention of that flag?
00:54:38.000I think, most likely, if I was going to fly a flag that said woman, noun, a biological female, I was saying that a biological male is not a woman.
00:54:53.000Trans women are encroaching on female spaces, like female sports, or are they saying it because they don't think it's morally right for someone to transition to become a woman?
00:56:06.000The real problem is people trying to get people to comply with their perspective and not recognizing other people's perspectives and then being militant about supporting their side.
00:56:17.000Yeah, but look, an educated person is cool with almost everyone doing what they want, what they please, right?
00:56:25.000So what we're really doing is saying- For the most part.
00:56:26.000Most educated people would go, do you care about trans?
00:56:31.000I don't care what anybody wants to do.
00:56:32.000As long as it makes them happy and that's a part of their life that they choose to do, that no one's forced them to do, then I hope that they're happy.
00:57:14.000There's members of my family or friends or people that we know, quite educated, who are ignorant towards people, so they've never met a trans person, so they're a little weary of them, perhaps.
00:57:29.000Before, people felt real comfortable, and they still don't really, but they're more comfortable now, I think, coming out than they ever were before.
00:59:28.000Yeah, and I remember there was some McDonald's, maybe I'm remembering this incorrectly, but didn't they used to have McDonald's where you could meet Ronald McDonald?
01:01:58.000About how they made it just—it was about speed.
01:02:00.000Because McDonald's became a production line, and they learned that shipping burgers frozen was way more efficient, and they lost less product, and they also cost them nothing.
01:02:08.000In-N-Out was willing to take a hit because they were a family-run business, and they were like, there's only a few locations.
01:02:13.000We'll do better product for a little bit higher of a price and not franchise it yet.
01:02:17.000Because now you can only franchise it if you're a member of their family.
01:06:13.000Well, the good thing about going to big cities like New York or Chicago, there's always some weird spot that serves food real late, you know, four o'clock in the morning, kitchen's open till three.
01:09:55.000And the next thing you know, I'm down a rabbit hole and it's an hour and a half later and I'll tell myself, yeah, but I think I've got a good bit of this fucking...
01:10:03.000This praying mantis bit is going to kill.
01:10:05.000These Mongols with their flying eagles that they use to kill wolves.
01:11:13.000I think the bubble that people had in the 80s, it's like people were just falling in love with stand-up comedy.
01:11:18.000This is what we have to realize, and this is where it's really crazy.
01:11:22.000It's really hard to imagine, but this is true.
01:11:25.000When you think about the bubble, let's go back to 1980, stand-up comedy, and Jerry Seinfeld, please welcome this guy and that guy, and all these different comics that were really popular in the 80s.
01:11:47.000You have guys who do MC work at different clubs, they'll bring up a band, and then they'll do like the Don Rickles thing, they'll pick on guys in the audience.
01:11:55.000And then Lenny Bruce comes along in the 50s, in the late 50s and the 60s, and Lenny Bruce gets arrested a bunch of times for talking, for explaining things, for...
01:12:04.000Talking about how he really sees things, for using words that are forbidden, for talking about subjects that are taboo.
01:12:14.000And then Mort Sahl does political humor, and then George Carlin changes from being this Johnny Carson-type seven-minute set on late-night TV guy with a suit on to being this hippie who talks about the dirty words you can't use on television,
01:16:48.000I accidentally almost give your missus the old one in the old bum hole because you're looking for the spot and you missed a spot and you're like, hey!
01:19:25.000Yeah, I told them I would have paid them money.
01:19:28.000Only a few times have I been so into a thing where I push my agents and go, I'll fucking, I'll lose a lot of money just to have the opportunity to try it.
01:22:23.000You know, everyone's scared of getting called out now for jokes, which is just...
01:22:28.000I mean, I get that people haven't decided to make this distinction, but there's a giant distinction between someone talking about something because this is their actual feelings on something, and someone saying ridiculous shit that they don't really believe because it's funny.
01:22:43.000And when you stop that in any way, as soon as you try to step that for yourself, or if you're trying to get someone else to stop it, what you're really doing is you're enforcing a particular, very narrow band of behavior.
01:22:57.000And if you get stuck in that narrow band of behavior, it's real hard to see outside of it.
01:23:03.000It's real hard to see that this is ridiculous.
01:23:05.000And as a comic, when you see comics getting mad that other comics are touching on certain subjects or using certain language, it's like, oh...
01:23:36.000Well, that's like, there was a dude, there's a guy who had a great tweet.
01:23:39.000I don't want to say his name because, you know, I don't know if he wants it out or whatever, but like, he basically had a tweet and he got a lot of backlash from the community because he was like, all these East Side comics that used to shit on the comedy store for a lack of quote-unquote diversity, they're the same people.
01:23:53.000He goes, as one, I'm saying, these are the same guys that get, you know, that pay no mind to the fact that we're living in a gentrified, used-to-be Mexican neighborhood and our audiences are all fucking white dudes with beards that look the same.
01:25:31.000When you're doing material and you're trying to come up with a bit, sometimes a bit in the beginning is highly offensive, but then you turn it into something that everybody accepts and it's great.
01:25:42.000This was the real argument for Louis C.K. when Louis C.K. had a recording of his Leaked.
01:26:31.000That could have been an incredible bit.
01:26:33.000Because it's already kind of funny that these people that are on television all the time are the survivors of a school shooting, and that they might just be survivors.
01:26:43.000They don't necessarily have to be interesting.
01:26:45.000Now, he didn't, in his defense, have any time to prepare.
01:26:49.000He had 10 months of no stand-up, then he just does stand-up, and he gets some laughs off this premise.
01:26:53.000That premise in six months could have been a fucking nuclear bomb.
01:26:58.000He would have figured out a way to expose how goofy it is that just because someone survives a massacre, we want to parade them on CNN every couple weeks and ask their opinion about gun control and about various things.
01:27:38.000Because she's 16 and dealing with climate change as opposed to him, who's 29, or her, who's 50, or him, who's 82. Like, what are we talking about?
01:27:46.000She's got some random person who wants to say how dare you about climate change?
01:27:50.000And they're gonna stop going to school until someone does something about it?
01:27:59.000They're like, you don't have to if you can sail around the world.
01:28:01.000I just think that whole thing about they find what works for them categorically because she's a good look, and they're like, push her, push her, push her, push her.
01:28:10.000See, that's why when you go back to Louie's bed about the school shootings, yes, it's gross to make fun of someone who survived a school shooting, but that's what he does.
01:29:35.000And I think, you know, leave the guy alone.
01:29:39.000I don't know what happened those nights.
01:29:42.000I know he has a very different story than the story that's been depicted in the media, and I know he definitely did some stupid shit you shouldn't do.
01:31:46.000You want him to never tell jokes again?
01:31:47.000He's one of the best comedians of all time.
01:31:49.000He acknowledges that what he did was wrong.
01:31:51.000Like, at what point in time do we forgive people?
01:31:53.000What point in time do we say someone was doing something fucked up and now they've paid this tremendous price emotionally, psychologically?
01:32:01.000When do you let him out of jail, basically?
01:32:57.000All you have to do is have a few topics that you like to argue about.
01:33:01.000Let's just say you're a person, pro-First Amendment, pro-Second Amendment, pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-trans rights, pro-civil rights.
01:33:12.000You just take those things that you feel very passionately about and then just put those hashtags online on Twitter and then go look for conversations and go to war.
01:40:20.000People worry about running ruins knees, but a new study finds the activity may in fact benefit the joint, changing the biomechanical environment inside the knee in ways that could keep it working smoothly.
01:41:05.000Epidemiological studies of long-term runners show that they generally are less likely to develop osteoarthritis in the knees than people of the same age who do not run.
01:41:15.000Some scientists have speculated that running may protect knees because it is often associated with relatively low body mass.
01:41:22.000Carrying less weight is known to reduce the risk of knee arthritis.
01:41:24.000It's saying there's little evidence that it ruins your knees.
01:41:28.000Yeah, it's saying little evidence that it ruins your knees, but it also says some scientists have speculated running.
01:41:40.000Oh, the widespread argument generally follows the lines that running will slowly wear away the cartilage that cushions the bones and the joints and cause arthritis, but there's little evidence to support the idea.
01:42:08.000These volunteers visited a clinic where they had blood drawn from an arm.
01:42:11.000The researchers also siphoned off a small amount of synovial fluid, a lubricating fluid that reduces friction inside joints from the right knee.
01:42:30.000Alright, well my knees are going to be good.
01:42:33.000I just, you know, this is all speculative too.
01:42:35.000There's not enough research supporting it too, so who knows?
01:42:37.000Well, it makes sense though that your muscles would be stronger and then that would probably support your knee better than a person who doesn't exercise.
01:43:16.000That was from 2017. This one is more updated off of a new myth toppling new study that says that middle-aged runners do actually rebuild the health of their knees.
01:43:44.000A myth-toppling new study, you son of a bitch, of novice middle-aged runners suggests the answer is a qualified yes.
01:43:50.000The study finds that taking up distance running rebuilds the health of certain essential components of middle-aged knees, even if the joint starts off somewhat tattered and worn.
01:46:00.000Yeah, but I just realized that at the time of my day I get to go, I can run to the gym and then run home, and that's like a nice day I get to have.
01:50:18.000She's a noob, and she was on this hill, and she's like, oops, sorry, oops, sorry, and just slid right into the trail, and there was people over here and people over here, and I'm like, I could plow into this lady.
01:52:41.000There's certain things that become, you know, injured where exosomes or, you know, there's stuff called Wharton's jelly, which is this new advanced stuff, or mesenchymal stem cells, all these different versions of stem cell therapy that they use.
01:53:19.000There's not enough understanding of what's the best way to do these things.
01:53:25.000I'm really lucky that I have a really good doctor that kind of like is very honest and very, I wouldn't say skeptical or cynical, but he's very pragmatic and very honest about the potential both ways,
01:53:44.000whether it could do nothing or it could wind up being a waste of time or it might actually work.
01:53:49.000Like, there's not enough information on some of this stuff.
01:54:23.000Stem cells literally injected straight into your fucking head and stem cells injected intravenously for some certain issues that people have.
01:54:39.000And he thinks that that's the future of regenerative medicine, is that these advancements in stem cell therapy and medical technologies, that they're eventually going to hit some point where they can sort of treat aging like it's a disease.
01:54:55.000Instead of like it's an inevitability, treating it like it's a disease and actually reverse the process.
01:55:52.000I don't think there's anything to worry about because I think at the very least, the worst thing is you'll get to go 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 again.
01:56:22.000If they can reverse the aging process, what if they fuck it up and turn you into a baby?
01:56:26.000And you got all this money, and you're signing over your will when you're two, and your family's like, he can't understand what he's signing.
02:05:35.000If you look it up, but the driver was telling me when we were there, he was like, no, man, more billionaires live in this quarter-mile radius than anywhere in the world.
02:07:45.000I mean, I think that was also the implementation of, like, they doubled their police force.
02:07:49.000They started busting people for everything.
02:07:51.000People got scared of doing anything illegal in the city.
02:07:53.000Well, we're real close to someone saying enough is enough, and you get some...
02:07:59.000Some dude who comes in is going to have some hardline Giuliani-type attack on the homeless problem in downtown in L.A. Because L.A. is up to 70,000-plus people homeless.
02:09:13.000When somebody moves to a school area and they complain, well, you know what they did about Westwood, UCLA. That whole thing is fucked up.
02:09:19.000That's why there's no college town there because those community organizers basically made it almost impossible for young and new businesses to open up that would be supportive of like bars or restaurant culture.
02:09:31.000They keep shutting it down because these old rich people in Westwood don't want that there.
02:17:05.000He didn't get in trouble, but Ferrari got angry at him because he has a Ferrari, and he took pictures of his sneakers sitting on his Ferrari.
02:18:07.000Ferrari's letter to Plein also says that he was using Ferrari's trademarks for the promotional purposes of increasing his own brand and products visibility.
02:18:16.000Again, the car's pictured are Plein's own.
02:18:18.000Ferrari is essentially claiming that Plein is harnessing its iconic imagery to bolster his own brand and also denigrate Ferraris.
02:18:26.000How is it denigrating Ferraris, though?
02:18:55.000But see if you can just find his green Ferrari, because I know that motherfucker, if he's got a green Ferrari, he takes a lot of pictures of it.
02:19:02.000There's no way that's the only picture of his dope green Ferrari.
02:19:05.000You would assume Ferrari's brand is to promote people who are, like, self-made, money-making...
02:25:25.000But it's so easy for you because nothing has a grasp on you.
02:25:31.000Like, drinking and smoking a little pot, it doesn't control you the way that, like, Bert, it's a real challenge.
02:25:39.000Bert not drinking is an actual challenge.
02:25:41.000For you, I don't think it's a real challenge.
02:25:42.000Well, it's a challenge in that it's something that you commit to.
02:25:46.000Yeah, but you do that constantly on your own anyway.
02:25:49.000You're doing it against guys that don't constantly do it on their own.
02:25:51.000Yeah, there's a little bit of that, but it's good for people.
02:25:54.000That's one of the reasons why I did it.
02:25:55.000But even for me, just knowing that I have to do something for a whole month, and I think that's one of the really good things about when we did that workout challenge, working out six hours a day, you realize you can actually do that.
02:26:28.000He's on the East Coast, or Ari's doing something crazy where he rides a bike while he's watching a movie for two hours, and he's got this crazy high score.
02:27:52.000I made a video of it, of the puddles on the ground from my sweat and setting up.
02:27:55.000If you just keep going, see, if you watch movies that are exciting, right, and I have this TV right in front of me, so I'm watching, I watched the scene in...
02:28:05.000John Wick in the Russian bathhouse where he kills everybody.
02:28:11.000I just kept going back and watching it again.
02:28:13.000Because there's something about that scene where you pretend that you're John Wick, or you pretend you're someone who's trying to kill John Wick, and you're in the middle of this whole fucking shootout, stab him, caught that guy, look at this one.
02:28:26.000And it's a fucking super intense scene, so I would just watch that scene over and over and over again.
02:28:31.000And then I'd watch other movies, and I'd get bored, and I'd go back to that movie again.
02:28:34.000And I'd watch John Wick 2 a bunch of times, too.
02:28:36.000But the hyper-violent scenes, when you watch those, you feel like you're there, like you're locked in.
02:31:37.000You have to fall down and pretend you got hurt.
02:31:40.000Imagine a UFC fight if a guy walks in, flinches, and the other guy's like, and he has to get down, and the ref's like, I'm warning you, dude.
02:32:48.000Like if a guy's flopping and the ref knows he's full of shit and he's trying to entice this guy, he'll give them a tech if they're jawing at each other because that's usually what happens.
02:32:56.000So in one way, it kind of leads down the same road.
02:33:00.000You end up getting—the refs call out the bullshit.
02:33:02.000They have to do it in a different way.
02:33:03.000Or they'll hit you with an unnecessary foul to check you to be like, I know what you're up to.
02:33:48.000You don't want to ruin everything they paid there to get.
02:33:50.000It's kind of like intervening in a fight too much if a ref is coming in.
02:33:54.000You don't want to really fuck up the rhythm of this thing because you know for the player's purpose and the fighter's purpose and for the entertain, at some point you're like, You're just ruining the fucking thing for everybody.
02:34:04.000Wasn't there an issue years ago that referees were being paid by, like, gamblers?
02:34:11.000Tim Donahue, there's a whole, like, he's explained it a lot about, well, he said he was betting on advantages that he knew about, not necessarily, like, Making something happen in a different way.
02:35:47.000I think the real question would be if he bet against his team, and it says he did, and if that is the case, and he did something to win the bet, and tried to cost his team, like made decisions that weren't the best decisions, put the wrong people in his pitchers.
02:36:00.000Well, then the other side of it is, even on a one-man team, let's say me and you are fighting.
02:36:04.000I bet me to win, but you know that you're going to throw the fight, and I'm going to get you some of the winnings.
02:40:11.000I mean, there's been many, many fights where you see a guy win a fight that he's getting dominated because he catches a guy who gets overzealous and tries to finish him off.
