Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
00:00:15.000
Dude, first of all, before we even get started, congratulations.
00:00:27.000
I love when someone gets a positive path going in their life and sticks with it and you see real progress.
00:00:44.000
Because if it didn't happen, it would have been something else.
00:00:49.000
Who the hell knows where they would have put me.
00:00:55.000
I've been thinking about losing weight for a long time, for probably about 30 years.
00:01:04.000
Right when it hit, my brand new baby and my wife, they were going to go to Columbia to show the child.
00:01:10.000
You know, you have to show the child to the family.
00:01:17.000
They wouldn't let my dog get on the plane because the air conditioning didn't work in the galley or whatever that is.
00:01:39.000
He was like, yeah, this shit's going to be fine.
00:01:42.000
Don't worry, they're going to still do the show in Hawaii.
00:01:48.000
Why did you think everything was going to get shut down?
00:01:51.000
I had a feeling that this was just bigger than what it was.
00:02:01.000
So, pretty much, I mean, to get the dog onto the plane, we had to put her on a scale, because she was a little overweight.
00:02:13.000
Like, I used to have a dog that was 140 pounds.
00:02:21.000
If you're at a certain weight, you're just jacked.
00:02:43.000
And then I started losing weight because of her because we both got on the scale and I was like, what the fuck is going on?
00:02:59.000
I looked about 350. A fucking round ball, a fucking meatball.
00:03:11.000
What did it feel like walking around like that?
00:03:18.000
And I know it's not good to make people feel bad.
00:03:25.000
It's unfortunate that you have to make people feel bad to start getting them to change, but sometimes, whether it's a person doing that to you or you just looking in the mirror and you're feeling bad, that feeling is just reality.
00:03:45.000
So if you said, hey, Jamie, you're fat, like, it doesn't work.
00:03:48.000
It only means something when it's real, and it's an indulgence thing.
00:03:58.000
It's a hard thing to bounce back from, and that's what I'm most impressed with you.
00:04:13.000
I mean, I've watched him, and now that I've met him, it's like all the pieces came together today for me.
00:04:19.000
He's one of the most knowledgeable trainers I've ever worked with in my life.
00:04:29.000
I mean, you can obviously lift a lot of weight.
00:04:31.000
He showed us he could do the 106 overhead press with like nothing.
00:04:39.000
It's about using your body and using your muscles in a functional manner.
00:04:44.000
He's all about longevity and he's all about range of motion.
00:04:48.000
His whole thing is about having you have the full mobility of your body.
00:04:53.000
It's all these flexibility things that we did, the hip things that we did, all that stuff.
00:04:57.000
And it's all to strengthen the joints, stabilize your shoulders, stabilize all your joints and He's just so good.
00:05:14.000
I can see over this past year, you've gotten your body to a really good place where you haven't just lost weight by dieting.
00:05:32.000
These are the things that I always wanted to do.
00:05:35.000
I played football in high school and I actually, I excelled in practice.
00:05:44.000
The game, yeah, it's fun, but I like the practice stuff.
00:05:49.000
And I started losing weight by myself in my house, literally during the pandemic, just eating different.
00:05:59.000
Yes, she was, because we have a brand new child.
00:06:15.000
I've been going so fast for the past 10 years that I haven't really enjoyed myself.
00:06:19.000
So this forced stoppage allowed me to really reassess my happiness.
00:06:32.000
Of course, I'm an artist and my mind is always all over the place.
00:06:40.000
It allowed me to spend every moment with my brand new child, you know?
00:06:45.000
It was something that I didn't know I needed, but I needed that.
00:06:51.000
And to regain my health in this manner, man, like you said, I wasn't...
00:07:00.000
People could get the surgeries and all that shit.
00:07:08.000
The surgery can help people, but it also messes you up.
00:07:12.000
One of the things that happens is it diminishes your ability to absorb food.
00:07:15.000
You can't have as much food, and it's harder for you to absorb nutrients.
00:07:23.000
Yeah, hell no, because I knew I did this to myself.
00:07:31.000
Like, I was talking to my boy, like me and CeCe Sabathia were friends, and I was talking to him for a while.
00:07:37.000
We would just text back and forth, because he was a fat bastard too.
00:07:41.000
And we would just talk about how we want to be fucking jacked.
00:07:44.000
We just want to be, we want to get, you know, strong and shit.
00:07:48.000
And he put me on to my trainer that I was working with, Dave Palladino.
00:07:52.000
And Dave is kind of, you know, he's like an old school meathead from the Jersey Shore.
00:07:59.000
Because it could have met somebody else and it wouldn't have clicked.
00:08:02.000
You know, like I've worked out with other people, but it just wasn't...
00:08:07.000
Like he's a fucker, like he's into Sopranos or some shit.
00:08:22.000
I was like, yo, that's who this fucking guy is.
00:08:28.000
He used to bounce all the clubs with the fucking fanny pack and the fucking...
00:08:32.000
I don't want to mention what else, but you know.
00:08:39.000
He didn't just start me off with meathead stuff.
00:08:55.000
It's one of the things that makes me most happy in life.
00:09:03.000
You know, I think when I was a kid, when I was real young, I started teaching Taekwondo when I was probably like 16. 16-ish, somewhere around then, when I started teaching, and I really got into it because it helped me get better, but I also had a few students that went from white belt,
00:09:20.000
and they graduated and got higher belts, and I took them to tournaments, and I had them win tournaments, and my God, it made me so happy.
00:09:28.000
More happy than myself, because with myself, I would have conflicted feelings.
00:09:36.000
You're happy, but you also feel real weird, because that could have been you, and you see this dude writhing in agony.
00:09:43.000
But when someone else that you train goes and succeeds, it feels good.
00:10:03.000
There's haters out there that don't want to see anyone succeed.
00:10:11.000
I seem like a hater sometimes because I say hater shit, but I just do it because it's funny.
00:10:20.000
I'm very much a person who wants to see people do well.
00:10:25.000
When I see someone like you that I know how hard it is to lose 130 pounds.
00:10:29.000
I mean, I've never had to, but I could only imagine.
00:10:36.000
It's not like just hold your breath for an hour.
00:10:43.000
And it's hard to see success because it comes in these little tiny little steps.
00:10:49.000
But I've watched those tiny increments of yours on Instagram.
00:11:02.000
You had this crazy workout and then you cooked steaks at the park.
00:11:10.000
You know, I always have the barbecue in the trunk of the Cherokee.
00:11:32.000
Right after the workout in the parking lot or wherever, I just pull up in the park.
00:11:40.000
I just have this energy now that it's not enough to just do an hour of some training.
00:11:45.000
I need to go out and do more things during the day.
00:11:48.000
I have to go on the roof and swing the Bulgarian bag.
00:11:54.000
I have to hit the park, do calisthenics and stuff like that.
00:12:09.000
It's just a nice pulverized garlic and some sea salt.
00:12:12.000
And I just let them cook slowly while I played.
00:12:18.000
We've been playing handball for fucking 25 years.
00:12:30.000
So when you cook these steaks, are you cooking by feel?
00:12:39.000
Once I came off the court and I saw that they were crusted perfectly, I just kept turning the grill every once in a while.
00:12:57.000
And you douse it with extra virgin olive oil, of course.
00:13:03.000
You know, I hate to say plug things, but that's my olive oil right there.
00:13:12.000
There's gonna be one coming out soon from Tuscany.
00:13:16.000
No, it's just a collaboration with Grove and Vine, Times Action Bronson.
00:13:26.000
Could you put like an asterisk over the U? You can, but it still doesn't really work like that.
00:13:38.000
Can't we say Fuck That's Delicious on a bottle of olive oil?
00:13:52.000
I would fucking put Fuck That's Delicious right on the crotch.
00:14:00.000
Well, the beautiful thing about you doing Fuck That's Delicious while you're on this fitness journey is you're showing people it can be both.
00:14:10.000
And you can have a great fucking time and get fit and you feel better.
00:14:18.000
But doesn't life feel better when you're healthy now?
00:14:24.000
I had fucking issues that I would be embarrassed to say right now.
00:14:28.000
It's, you know, those things where there's like little nuances of life that just, what the fuck?
00:14:36.000
Everything is fucking working a thousand percent.
00:14:51.000
When I'm coming towards my wife, it's like, she's fucking running away from me.
00:14:55.000
Well, all that exercise, and then you're doing so much weight training.
00:15:01.000
And watching what you did today, the only way you were able to do that workout today is if you've been doing that for a long time.
00:15:10.000
Especially that shoulder plex complex with the rows and the squats and the cleans and all that stuff that John had us doing.
00:15:26.000
Andrew Craig was at a book signing of mine a couple years ago, and he saw me working out and shit like that, and he just sent me the Macy's.
00:15:44.000
I go to the gym for the things I can't do, like...
00:15:48.000
Chest work and other stuff like that, you know?
00:15:50.000
But I do a lot of kettlebells and a lot of swinging of the mace and Indian clubs at the studio and on the roof of the studio.
00:16:05.000
Squats and fucking deadlifts and all that stuff.
00:16:29.000
That dude who was doing the maces at the gym was a beast, man.
00:16:34.000
I mean, when you could flow with those things, it's like dancing.
00:16:50.000
He's with the clubs and the maces and all that stuff.
00:16:56.000
Well, it's that what he's doing, the great thing about it is it's applicable.
00:17:01.000
Like the strength that you get from that is really good for martial arts.
00:17:04.000
It's really good for jujitsu in particular because it's you're forcing to use your body all as one unit, you know, all of this stuff.
00:17:11.000
And it also was like, it increases your longevity because it increases.
00:17:15.000
You're stabilizing joints and you're getting range of motion strength.
00:17:20.000
All kinds of cool shit you can do with that kind of strength.
00:17:28.000
Because I can't fucking do traditional things because of my little impingement in my shoulder.
00:17:33.000
But all these different flow moves and swings, I just love it.
00:17:37.000
Well, your shoulder mobility is, you know, there's a little bit of an impingement, but it's pretty good.
00:17:42.000
Like, I saw you were pressing 65 pounds with that left arm.
00:17:48.000
Go get, find out what the fuck's going on with it, and like I was telling you...
00:17:52.000
Should I find out before or just go for it and then see?
00:17:58.000
There's probably a bunch of shit going on in there.
00:18:00.000
But from a guy who had a full-length rotator cuff tear and it was healed completely by stem cells...
00:18:06.000
And what we can do here in America is nothing compared to what they can do in Colombia and what they can do in Panama.
00:18:12.000
Like Dr. Neil Reardon, who's been on the podcast before, he runs a clinic down in Panama.
00:18:17.000
I sent my mom down there twice and did wonders for her.
00:18:20.000
And I've had some other friends, a lot of fighters I know have gone down there.
00:18:24.000
And a lot of fighters are going to that bio-accelerator place that you talk to.
00:18:33.000
The regulation's good because it keeps people from robbing people and ripping people off, right?
00:18:36.000
It keeps people from doing things that aren't completely safe, but it also keeps people from doing things that they know are effective.
00:18:45.000
And people have had massive results over in Colombia and in Panama because they have an accelerated program.
00:18:57.000
A lot of guys are going down from San Diego and just driving over there and getting it done there, too.
00:19:01.000
The thing is with TJ, bro, he's fucking lots of crazy shit going on in TJ. Yeah, but it's my friend Ed Clay, who's an American, who's running it down.
00:19:11.000
He got an Achilles tendon surgery in fucking Tijuana, and he's fucked up right now.
00:19:23.000
I mean, I've seen horrible things go down in TJ before.
00:19:28.000
I couldn't imagine putting fucking some sort of health into me there.
00:19:42.000
I think it depends on who you're going to, you know?
00:19:46.000
Tijuana is a sketchy place right now, you know?
00:19:49.000
Anything on the border is just, it's great and it's terrible at the same time.
00:20:03.000
I didn't want to bring the big glass contraptions on here, fucking torch up.
00:20:09.000
Are you vaporizing now and not smoking blunts anymore?
00:20:13.000
The purest hash around, I'm vaporizing it all over.
00:20:16.000
Last time you were here, you smoked a preposterous amount of weed.
00:20:20.000
Because I took pictures of the ashtray and put it on Instagram, and people were like, that was just him?
00:20:32.000
I mean, when you look at a High Times magazine and you see all those little, you know, the little furry molecules, that's what I'm smoking.
00:20:51.000
You know how they have those boxes that kind of sift?
00:20:55.000
They have those little nets in it, and dudes would put the weed in, and then the bottom of it, you'd get the shake, and it was just pure THC. Old school.
00:21:03.000
Oh my god, and you put that shit in the pipe and go straight to the moon, like this, like a rubber band.
00:21:22.000
You know, like when you take a dab of some really, really, really good hash, It's next level.
00:21:32.000
I love the whole idea of having the really nice glass pipe, your torch.
00:22:00.000
There's something about doing something with purpose and intent.
00:22:06.000
Something so small as to something I remember right now, a little ritual.
00:22:09.000
Every time I walked in the building of my mother's house in Queens, I had to drag my foot across, you know, like the fucking, that little piece.
00:22:20.000
Yeah, the little piece that they put on the bottom of the door.
00:22:26.000
Some people have weird things where they have to like touch their head a couple times when they walk through a door.
00:22:40.000
I remember reading about people that they would wash their hands, and then they'd get in their head, and they'd have to go wash their hands again, and then they'd go back.
00:22:55.000
A friend of mine looked at a house once, and they were looking at the house like, oh, this is a nice house, pretty nice house.
00:23:00.000
And then they opened up one of the cabinets, one of the closets, and it was filled with Purell.
00:23:08.000
I mean, like, every shelf was Purell, and they were like, what the fuck?
00:23:13.000
And they're like, yeah, the guy who lives here is very OCD. He cleans his hands off.
00:23:17.000
And they're like, where are you buying this house?
00:23:23.000
Yeah, I mean, I'm into spirits, but not bad vibes.
00:23:30.000
I think if you have those kind of vibes in a place, you gotta...
00:23:37.000
You burn sage and you have like a ritual and you get rid of it.
00:23:44.000
I'd rather burn, I don't know, they got some other shit that they had in Mexico in a bucket.
00:23:50.000
And they were walking around with it and it was fucking crazy.
00:23:57.000
Do you know why they've always done that with sage?
00:24:10.000
So salvia, obviously, for people who don't know, is a super potent psychedelic.
00:24:15.000
They missed it when they had that Schedule I act of 1970 where they basically made everything illegal.
00:24:23.000
You used to be able to buy salvia in a head shop.
00:24:27.000
Like, in places where weed was completely illegal, you could buy a bag of this shit and go to another dimension.
00:24:34.000
You could definitely buy Salvia on Jamaica Avenue right now.
00:24:41.000
The people who don't know, Salvia is a super potent psychedelic.
00:24:45.000
Like, out of this world, you disappear, you go to another place.
00:24:53.000
It's like your fucking mind, everything explodes.
00:25:00.000
Comes back and melts and it's like melting metal that broke and then it comes back together.
00:25:11.000
And when he did it, he said he had a complete different life that he lived for several months.
00:25:27.000
And then came out of it and realized he was only gone for 10 minutes.
00:25:31.000
And he's talked about it on other podcasts since, but it was like one of the, he said, literally one of the craziest moments of his life.
00:25:37.000
And they filmed him the entire time he was doing it.
00:25:39.000
That's good, because you know sometimes when you trip out, you try to remember it.
00:25:44.000
But it's never, you're not really, you're kind of making it up.
00:25:48.000
Because you're so in the moment, it wouldn't say...
00:25:50.000
Like, I could try and tell people my DMT... I've smoked it too many times to remember one spec...
00:25:59.000
It's a never-ending story, like the big fucking white dog.
00:26:07.000
I remember very specific moments, but when you're talking about a 15-minute trip, I might remember 30 seconds.
00:26:15.000
I remember standing like this, breaking through fucking boards of life and fucking portals.
00:26:26.000
Just breaking through different stages of things.
00:26:32.000
That's like you had limitations that you'd put on yourself.
00:26:45.000
It was just in a rap that I never even, you know, put out.
00:26:49.000
But I had mentioned that I had had a drink with Ahmad Rashad at the bar.
00:26:55.000
And then years later, I was at some Yankees game and randomly Ahmad Rashad was at the fucking bar.
00:27:03.000
I know it might be silly, but I fucking made that happen.
00:27:09.000
If I made Ahmad Rashad appear at the fucking bar after I mentioned it four years prior...
00:27:19.000
I think there's weird windows into possibilities that occasionally we access.
00:27:25.000
And I think that's like when you have a real tight relationship with a good friend, and then, like, they text you when you're thinking about them.
00:27:32.000
You're thinking about calling them, and, you know, you have a close relationship, like your brothers.
00:27:36.000
And then you get an email, or you get a phone call, or you get a text, and you're like, ah, he was thinking about me, too.
00:27:45.000
Quantum mechanics and quantum physicists talk about quantum states, like spooky action at a distance, where these molecules, these atoms, there's something that happens to these quantum particles where in one area of the world it will...
00:28:04.000
There's some sort of a reaction with something that's completely, like, miles and miles apart, and they're somehow or another connected, and they know because they can measure it, but they don't understand the connection.
00:28:20.000
And so if you can observe this at the quantum level, which is this incredibly small level that you literally can't see with your eyes, if you can measure this and know this, then how...
00:28:32.000
Why wouldn't we have some strange or why wouldn't it be possible that we have some strange connection with each other, some strange connection with life that maybe doesn't totally make sense and you can't teach it in school, you can't put it on a scale,
00:28:49.000
you can't measure it with a ruler, but there's something there and we can access it occasionally.
00:28:54.000
Occasionally it comes into focus, whether it comes into focus through a dream or through inspiration or when you achieve a higher state, like a higher state of life.
00:29:04.000
There's connections that people have with each other that are different.
00:29:09.000
The level of connection I have to my wife is very different than anybody else I've ever known.
00:29:14.000
The level of connection I have with close friends is very different.
00:29:31.000
It's embedded in you and that other person that you guys are meant to attract.
00:29:37.000
There is something, because I don't know if you...
00:29:38.000
I'm sure you've done this, but like the regression, like past regressions and stuff and past lifetimes and shit like that, where you...
00:29:46.000
My wife talks to some fucking Colombian woman, some Espiritu fucking Colombian, who the hell knows, and she's, you know, passed on knowledge about how we've known each other for fucking hundred lifetimes, literally,
00:30:04.000
And now this is the lifetime where it's finally meant to really connect and fully bloom.
00:30:22.000
I would say that if I was that lady, I would say that just because I want your money.
00:30:31.000
It's like an internship where she's fucking learning spiritual shit.
00:30:39.000
The problem is, I think there's a lot of people that don't.
00:30:40.000
Listen, I know it's all about the fucking money too.
00:30:43.000
I always reference Steve Martin, Leap of Faith.
00:30:52.000
He's like a fucking pastor in the big tent revivals.
00:30:55.000
And they're just bullshitting, they're feeding him things and he touches the woman and she starts fucking freaking out.
00:31:06.000
There's a lot of that, but it's also a lot of people that want to believe.
00:31:14.000
That's like when you reach for Christ's hand, when you reach for Allah's hand.
00:31:21.000
Yeah, you want to change your life and you seek a higher power to give you that power to do that.
00:31:31.000
People in 12-step programs, right, they assign meaning to a higher power.
00:31:36.000
They decide that you are helpless, and then you assign this power to have control over your life.
00:31:47.000
You give in to this idea that you can't control yourself, but then the Lord is going to just fucking...
00:31:54.000
But you know another big part of 12-step programs that a lot of people don't know?
00:31:57.000
The guy who started it, you know, there's always a friend of Bill's, the whole deal.
00:32:00.000
That guy, Bill, whoever the fuck he is, that guy was on acid.
00:32:09.000
No, the original 12-step program, like, the guy, like, did a lot of experimentation with LSD to try to help him get through alcoholism.
00:32:23.000
I'm not going to tell someone to do something if I've never done it.
00:32:28.000
If someone's on meth, I'm like, hey bro, probably shouldn't do meth.
00:32:32.000
Well, in that case, I can't say that because if I tried it and it's probably popping, I'd probably be a meth addict.
00:32:42.000
What if you found out that's how you lose the extra 30?
00:32:46.000
But then I'd lose my teeth and I'd fucking look like John Leguizamo in Spun.
00:32:54.000
No one comes out on the other end of meth like, I'm glad I did it.
00:33:01.000
But everyone I talked to, they said they had a good time with it.
00:33:06.000
They just downplay what happened to them after the meth.
00:33:10.000
But while they were on it, that shit was fucking amazing.
00:33:23.000
I used to go to the computer store and buy a motherboard and buy a hard drive.
00:33:31.000
And I know my boy, this fucking kid that lived in the building next to me, Seth, used to do that also.
00:33:36.000
And one thing that people used to do back in the day, you'd buy like a cheap processor and you would overclock it.
00:33:42.000
So you would like, you'd put a big heat sink on it, a fan on it to cool it off, and they would take like, back in the day, it was like, this was before, you know, what was it like, Celeron processors, Jamie?
00:33:59.000
But no, but the Celerons were like the cheap ones and a lot of guys that ran gig...
00:34:09.000
Before, it was like 400 megahertz back in the day.
00:34:14.000
And guys would get like a 300 Celeron and they would overclock it to 400 megahertz.
00:34:21.000
It's like, and I think that's the same with meth.
00:34:23.000
It's like when you're redlining your engine, you could do it for a little while, but it doesn't do it for that long.
00:34:40.000
But I bet the first few is pretty fucking good.
00:34:47.000
Like, I just want to say rest in peace to fucking DMX. That's a sad one.
00:34:54.000
Did you see the video when they were getting his body out of the hospital?
00:35:03.000
While they're driving the car with his body out of the hospital, I believe it was in White Plains, it's wild.
00:35:12.000
I wish I was able to tell him this story I'm about to tell you, because this is fucking real deal, and it's like, he means so much to my family, it's crazy.
00:35:23.000
Not only did I grow up on fucking DMX, I love DMX, but...
00:35:29.000
My wife was in fucking labor for 18 fucking hours and she had the doula there.
00:35:36.000
A motherfucking Peruvian flute playing for 17 fucking hours.
00:35:48.000
They came into my sixth grade class and we made a fucking flute.
00:36:00.000
I'm like, yo, listen, we have an hour left, or we're gonna have to do a C-section or whatever, and no fucking chance.
00:36:06.000
So, turn the fucking Peruvian flute music off, and I put fucking DMX on.
00:36:25.000
As soon as the Peruvian flute music stopped, DMX came on, he fucking heard the dog, and he came out, he just jumped out.
00:36:36.000
It hurts my fucking heart that I was never able to tell him that.
00:36:41.000
Like, man, that's, it's like the crazy, it's the fucking, the doctor was going nuts, he was Because everyone was just fucking sick of that shit.
00:36:52.000
I wanted to jump out of the window from the music.
00:37:03.000
But you know, we shut down Flushing Hospital for us.
00:37:11.000
Man, he fucking popped right out on everything.
00:37:21.000
But he came out on the hit, stop, drop, shut him down, open up shop.
00:37:41.000
You think about all the great artists that have lost their lives because of drugs.
00:37:53.000
They're the ones that are the most vulnerable to drugs.
00:38:01.000
You pretty much put it on yourself when you become...
00:38:03.000
Because some people don't know how to handle it.
00:38:06.000
You know, I've always been told that I'm good at it.
00:38:09.000
Like, I'm good at being who I am because I'm me.
00:38:23.000
Putting a fucking chain on my neck doesn't excite me.
00:38:40.000
It's very complicated for people also because a lot of people are judging you.
00:38:48.000
That's what happens with a lot of famous folks.
00:38:53.000
So if you're a person like DMX, you literally have millions of people talking about you.
00:38:58.000
Good and bad, both ways, and, oh, he's terrible, he's the shit, he's a god, he's a bum, he's a loser, he's my favorite.
00:39:09.000
And you just, if you get this You let these people influence who you are as a person.
00:39:18.000
If you let that in, if you take that in, and then you think about the pressures of fame and maintaining fame.
00:39:23.000
And one of the things about the rap world in particular, at least until recently, is that it was a very short-lived fame.
00:39:32.000
And there was something about guys when they got to a certain age where nobody wanted to hear from them anymore.
00:39:41.000
Like now, you know, you're seeing like Snoop is the most, he has more longevity and more relevance.
00:39:54.000
That's what people love him for being him and he's him to the fucking max.
00:40:03.000
Other than Jake Paul's knockout punch, he was the best part of that whole pay-per-view thing.
00:40:08.000
He was just listening to him talk and watching him do commentary.
00:40:13.000
And then when him and Too Short and who was the other dude with him?
00:40:53.000
He was famous in 1988. Just stop and think about that, dude.
00:41:05.000
And when he goes up and he starts singing, today was a good day, everybody gets excited.
00:41:11.000
In the early days of rap, that was not the case.
00:41:14.000
In the early days of rap when, you know, unless you're a legend, unless you're like one of those, like a Snoop type dude, it's hard for guys to maintain.
00:41:23.000
There was something about guys getting in their 40s.
00:41:33.000
But people like Jay-Z, who we don't even know his age, he's like a fucking Cuban baseball player.
00:41:43.000
He's just, he's Jay-Z. And he can literally rap forever and it'll be relevant.
00:41:49.000
Like for me, Cool G Rap could rap forever and I would love it.
00:41:57.000
I've sat in a room with him while he rapped, and I rapped at the same time.
00:42:06.000
I was a big fan of his in like 91. When was he around?
00:42:11.000
I remember I was in, I don't know, fifth grade, and he was playing basketball in the park by my house, and I had him sign a napkin.
00:42:22.000
A lot of people forgot about him, and that's unfortunate, because Cool G Raps is a fucking amazing talent.
00:42:27.000
That song, Cock Blockin', to this day, that's one of my favorite songs.
00:42:54.000
There's shit for everybody, is what I'm saying.
00:42:56.000
There's tears, but the thing that's the most overwhelming is the young boys.
00:43:08.000
I love how he's freaking everybody out and getting under their skin.
00:43:20.000
My kids, when they were young, when Old Town Road came out, in their fucking grammar school, they were singing it.
00:43:32.000
So here's this dude who's this young, wild, gay dude who's singing this song with Billy Ray Cyrus and it becomes this gigantic fucking hit.
00:43:43.000
And then the next thing he comes out with, he's selling sneakers with human blood in them.
00:43:54.000
It's just crazy that I even know about these things.
00:44:09.000
I can't be just singing for little kids for the rest of my life.
00:44:18.000
And, you know, it's the courage that guy had to do that.
00:44:23.000
He had to have a lot of people in his ear telling him, no, no, no.
00:44:26.000
Listen, we've got a big thing going on here, Lil Nas X. We've got a really, really important product.
00:44:35.000
You could be a huge, huge, huge act deep in your 30s.
00:44:38.000
And then maybe when you get older and you want to do some crazy shit like if Satan a lap dance, Maybe you do it then.
00:44:49.000
The voice that you're putting on as the executive is exactly the fuck of why I've been hearing this shit for so long, man.
00:44:59.000
Well, those cockamamie people will get in your life if you need them.
00:45:03.000
They were in my life for a little bit, and then they left.
00:45:15.000
They're not of the world of you and I, of performance.
00:45:17.000
They don't understand what it's like to go on stage and get wild.
00:45:25.000
If you ran your lyrics by them and go, hey, come here.
00:45:32.000
Sometimes I read that shit back and what the fuck is wrong with me?
00:45:36.000
Like, it's all about trying to make myself laugh.
00:45:40.000
That's really what makes- Or make people like me laugh.
00:45:52.000
Like, I want my friends- I want Joey Diaz to laugh.
00:45:58.000
I want my fucking craziest friend to accept and love what I just said.
00:46:02.000
Dude, when you're a comic and you hear in the back of the room like Joey Diaz, when he's dying, you're like, yes!
00:46:17.000
But that's, you know, executives not gonna, like if you read, I go, hey, this is what I'm thinking about saying tonight.
00:46:29.000
You have a legitimate, intelligent career going on here.
00:46:38.000
I've definitely been talked off the ledge several times, though.
00:46:47.000
It depends the mood I'm in, who's going to get through to me.
00:47:00.000
Well, you know, the thing about creativity is It's not a flat line, right?
00:47:21.000
These ideas are coursing through your head and you're writing them down.
00:47:24.000
Then you're trying to figure out the best way to do them and how to say them in a way that it's going to make people pop.
00:47:38.000
I just thought about some painting technique I was gonna do.
00:47:44.000
This shit is crazy the way we're able to work our brains and kind of just Just grab shit from all over and just inspiration this.
00:47:57.000
I'm thinking about some fucking sex I had back in the day.
00:48:04.000
Paul Mooney used to tell me back in the day, he used to say to everybody, but I remember him telling to me, if you want to write, go get entertained.
00:48:12.000
He's like, when I want to create, I get entertained.
00:48:15.000
He's like, I go to a movie, I'll see a concert, I'll see somebody, I'll go and get entertained.
00:48:30.000
I don't play an instrument, so when I see a dude can jam on a guitar, I love it.
00:48:39.000
Just emceeing while these dudes fucking play sick like jazz and shit.
00:48:49.000
When they had that thing where they did one with Cool G Rap.
00:48:54.000
Brand New Heavies did a rap album, a collaboration album with multiple artists.
00:49:16.000
Some of the best rappers, rap groups, and rappers ever.
00:49:49.000
Well, it's like Chadwick Boseman, you know, when he died too.
00:49:55.000
He had gotten sick and he was all skinny and everybody was making fun of him for being skinny.
00:50:03.000
People get made fun of so goddamn much on the internet.
00:50:15.000
The problem is it's in print and everybody can read it, but it's what people normally did.
00:50:20.000
Louis C.K. said this to me, and it made a lot of sense.
00:50:38.000
But when they write it down, and then other people read it, and then people retweet it, and then other people, they add on to it, and then you got thousands of people that are saying the same thing.
00:50:49.000
And it doesn't necessarily mean anything more than when someone would just say it when no one's around.
00:51:04.000
Pull up that book, because it's a really interesting book.
00:51:07.000
And I'm going to say this as a person who's very flawed, and I don't always follow these Four Agreements.
00:51:13.000
But there's real value and there's real wisdom in this.
00:51:20.000
It's Don Miguel Ruiz, and the four agreements are, agreement number one, be impeccable with your word.
00:51:25.000
So that means, like, don't say, fuck that dude.
00:51:30.000
I mean, sometimes I'll say fuck that dude just because it's funny.
00:51:32.000
It's a funny thing to say, like someone who's amazing.
00:51:51.000
But if you can do that, you will be way better off.
00:51:55.000
Number three agreement, don't make assumptions.
00:52:00.000
These are the valuable agreements in order to live a more harmonious life.
00:52:06.000
And number four, this is my favorite, because this one I do.
00:52:11.000
Now, I wouldn't say I do this always, but I, most of the time, do my best.
00:52:20.000
I think, and there's a new, what is the fifth agreement?
00:52:22.000
I always try to do my best, but the other ones are fucking hard.
00:52:25.000
The fifth agreement takes us to a deeper level of awareness of the power of the self and returns to the authenticity we're born with.
00:52:51.000
You have to be conscious if you're doing it and not vocalize.
00:52:55.000
You can maybe think it, but if you're thinking it, are you not applying it?
00:53:01.000
If we put this out there and you and I say we are going to try to live our lives by those four agreements, and the fifth agreement too, If we're going to live our lives by those agreements, and we send that message out to all you people out there that are listening, you should try to do it too.
00:53:16.000
No one's telling you to do it, but it'll help you.
00:53:32.000
Don't get mad at me for joking, because I joke a lot.
00:53:36.000
But be impeccable with your word is very valuable.
00:53:43.000
Those things, always doing your best is very valuable.
00:53:59.000
I can speak to this in the sense that I never followed through with anything like a long time ago.
00:54:06.000
And now all I do is try to do my best in everything and put my fucking best foot forward.
00:54:18.000
And it's not fair to what I'm doing, you know, to that specific thing.
00:54:24.000
There's been situations where I did it for the wrong reason, like just doing it for money or doing...
00:54:35.000
Yeah, but sometimes you have to make those mistakes in order to understand what's the right path.
00:54:40.000
Sometimes you got to go down the wrong path and go, oh, okay, this is not for me.
00:54:43.000
Well, I realize that, you know, and I try to live by those principles.
00:54:49.000
But a lot of things for me is I have to stop over-committing to things.
00:54:56.000
I say yes to something when I really don't want to do it, and then the last second I just cancel.
00:55:18.000
I used to have those problems with my manager before I said no to everything.
00:55:22.000
Now I say no to everything, but I used to be like, did I say yes to that?
00:55:40.000
You just have to fucking deal with the consequences.
00:55:56.000
And then I have them ask me three more times just to make sure so I could really dig in to what it is that they're asking of me.
00:56:05.000
Well, at a certain point in time, if you say yes to everything, then you're not saying...
00:56:10.000
But think about how many things you said no to.
00:56:13.000
You know, I've said no to more shows than I've done, I think.
00:56:20.000
After a while it gets to the point where you have to say no.
00:56:36.000
Is this something I really want to be a part of?
00:56:54.000
That's like if I was to take one of those blasts out of the pipe, it'd be that.
00:57:02.000
It's not one of those cartridges that you buy and it's like...
00:57:06.000
Fucks you up, gives you a third eye on your ass.
00:57:14.000
That's a problem with a lot of people with COVID is people who vaped.
00:57:17.000
You buy cheap vape oil and you don't know how they're making it.
00:57:20.000
There's a lot of kids that are vaping all the time and they're damaging their lungs.
00:57:23.000
Bro, if there's one thing I spend money on, is what goes into my lungs, is the hash.
00:57:31.000
I don't give a fuck about much, but I care about hash.
00:57:43.000
There's a lot of kids that are out there vaping, and they think it's better than cigarette smoking, and they're doing a lot of damage to themselves.
00:57:50.000
Once you're able to start doing tricks with something, you shouldn't do it.
00:57:57.000
And then they blow it into a big circle and they jump through it and they do all...
00:58:03.000
It's like fucking champion vape fucking acrobatics and athletics.
00:58:15.000
I don't know what to call him, but there's this one dude, he's fucking blowing things all over the place and then he like, yeah, this fucking guy.
00:58:35.000
Bro, he's got 24 million videos, or a million views on this video.
00:58:39.000
Yeah, bro, he just threw a fucking Hadugan with the smoke.
00:58:43.000
He looks like he's 12. Let's check his low capacity.
00:58:56.000
Well, he's got 24 million views in this video, man.
00:59:00.000
So, like I said, once you start doing this, you shouldn't do this.
00:59:09.000
Look, you got fucking, there's a picture, there's an Arnold training video under there, too.
00:59:14.000
You're telling me that there's an amazing vape trick and then an Arnold training video, or is that just your algorithm?
00:59:27.000
Listen, I was with you up until I saw the video.
00:59:32.000
Look how much he's had to smoke to get all this.
01:00:28.000
If he did what we did today, he'd be like, oh, come on, there's no chance.
01:00:33.000
He's got a pretty good knowledge of wind current.
01:00:48.000
Yo, I swear to you, one of these fucking kids would love that shit.
01:01:03.000
But it's fucking crazy what a celebrity is, right?
01:01:48.000
The aliens are gonna come and talk to him first.
01:02:10.000
I think those are all different pieces from different vapes.
01:02:21.000
No, 100% he gets pussy from that because you get it for all kinds of weird things.
01:02:27.000
It's just a weird one that nobody ever thought was an art form before.
01:02:48.000
You need one of those robot dicks like he's got.
01:02:58.000
There used to be a store near me in California that had all these vape-kins straps.
01:03:03.000
Remember we had that one big one that some dude sent me?
01:03:10.000
Why do you have to start putting together the vape?
01:03:13.000
Don't send me anything I have to put together, bro.
01:03:17.000
The forced creativity he's going to have to go through now because he's stuck in the vape guy.
01:03:22.000
Yeah, I mean, he's going to get really creative at what he's doing.
01:03:32.000
He's going to start showing up in other people's videos.
01:03:35.000
2.8 million followers on his Instagram channel.
01:03:37.000
He's gonna start showing up in like bodybuilding videos and just fucking in the background of cooking shows and shit.
01:03:45.000
Maybe you can have him in the back of your shows.
01:03:47.000
Like when you go back on stage, you're on stage rapping, he's behind you.
01:03:52.000
What I really wanted to do, I was gonna add in some kettlebell work.
01:03:55.000
Get the crowd into some kettlebell work on stage.
01:04:07.000
You ever thought about cooking on stage while you're rapping?
01:04:15.000
Yeah, I would have to be outdoor with the Weber.
01:04:26.000
That would be something that you literally could pull off.
01:04:32.000
Because as a chef slash rapper, you're a legit chef and a legit rapper.
01:04:40.000
You could have a show where people are outside barbecuing and doing music at the same time.
01:04:46.000
Yeah, I wanted to do like a little fest, like a Fuck That's Delicious festival.
01:04:54.000
Have a little expose on olive oil, on different things, like a little class people could take.
01:05:06.000
We could shoot the fucking balloon, shoot the clown in the mouth.
01:05:14.000
It's like you'll have more enthusiasm to do shit because your body's healthy.
01:05:19.000
When I was on stage at 300 and whatever pounds, I was still good.
01:05:29.000
I would be chilling in the room, smoking all day, sitting there eating.
01:05:38.000
I'm bringing my body board to Portugal when I go to the show because I'm going to fucking shred.
01:05:48.000
My man fucking Will, my man Will Scootin, he has this spot in the American Dream Mall in Jersey.
01:05:55.000
It's like that mall in Minnesota, the big one with the roller coasters and shit.
01:06:21.000
People think of New Jersey in a very negative way.
01:06:28.000
The whole point is just letting the wave go over your head.
01:06:33.000
You think you're eventually going to move to surfing?
01:06:47.000
Did you see that video of this fucking idiot who's got food in his mouth for a fish?
01:06:51.000
He's dangling into the water and the fish jumps up and hits the food and knocks him out cold and he falls in the tank?
01:07:01.000
I think Mike, uh, Robin Black has it on his Instagram.
01:07:29.000
I watched the video a few times to see what's going on.
01:07:34.000
Oh, this is every wheel kick fish in the UFC. Oh, yeah, this one's a tough one.
01:08:01.000
If a fish can knock you out, that's a two-inch punch.
01:08:07.000
But the other thing is, the things that knock you out are things you don't see coming.
01:08:10.000
And he definitely didn't see that coming because he had a mask on his thighs.
01:08:25.000
You're not going down from the fucking fish, bro.
01:08:28.000
I mean, maybe everybody gets knocked out by that fish.
01:08:43.000
Just fishing on TV. Not even a really good looking guy.
01:09:05.000
Look at that fucking thing in the upper right-hand corner, Jamie.
01:10:00.000
They don't take care of their kids, and they all have fucked up teeth.
01:10:12.000
It's a weird world, the world of fish, because there's no love in the fish world.
01:10:18.000
If you see bears, Playing like there's a video that I watched the other day of this mama bear and her cubs and the mama bear sitting on literally on the side of a road on a highway.
01:10:28.000
She just squats down like this like sitting there and the cubs are sucking on her tummy and you watching them suck on her nipples like this is there's love in the animal world you know but not in the fish world.
01:10:42.000
They will feed I mean a good mother will feed their baby anywhere.
01:10:48.000
Because the tit no longer is an object of sexual lust.
01:11:00.000
There's a fucking guy over in Harlem with the fucking thing playing games.
01:11:04.000
She's just sitting there, and they're just sucking on her nipples, and she's just chilling.
01:11:08.000
But there's something about that, like mammals.
01:11:11.000
That's one of the reasons why grizzlies are so dangerous to hikers.
01:11:22.000
It's usually the female cat, the female large cats.
01:11:28.000
Like that mountain lion video that we showed the other day where this mountain lion's chasing after this jogger.
01:11:32.000
It's because it was a female mountain lion and she had cubs.
01:11:36.000
Most of the time when there's a grizzly attack, it's either one of two things.
01:11:40.000
Either you startled the bear and it didn't know you were there and you're too close to the bear and the bear just decides to attack.
01:11:45.000
Or it's a female that has cubs and she just decides you're too fucking close and she attacks and fucks you up.
01:11:57.000
There's a weird connection in animals that just doesn't seem to exist in lizards.
01:12:07.000
They just have them and fucking fend for themselves.
01:12:16.000
And they have a hundred of them because they know only ten are going to make it.
01:12:21.000
The fucking sea turtles when they go to the place and they all come out at the same time?
01:12:31.000
But it's such a sad way that nature played a trick on them to make sure there's not too many turtles.
01:12:35.000
Nature looked at them and went, hmm, you're born with a shell.
01:12:40.000
Like, you got a built-in armor, and you live to be like, what, a thousand?
01:12:47.000
And nature's like, hmm, we gotta make it hard for you to make it.
01:12:51.000
When you're little, everybody wants to fuck you up.
01:13:10.000
Every time I think about a pistachio, I think about the naked gun.
01:13:15.000
Fucking Leslie Nielsen and the other detective in the car with the red pistachios and they just start building up into the car?
01:13:44.000
Then he would go that way and get fucking shot.
01:13:52.000
Somewhere where no one's gonna take pictures of you.
01:14:00.000
My grandfather was a fucking fan of this stuff.
01:14:09.000
I tried to get my kids to watch the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup last night.
01:14:22.000
They were like, what the fuck are you making me watch?
01:14:31.000
This is the things that people thought were funny in 1933. Like, you have to understand, this is before World War II. This is a weird, weird, weird time to be alive.
01:14:49.000
My 24-year-old was there, too, and she didn't get it either.
01:14:54.000
I mean, the Marx Brothers, it's so weird when you watch what was comedy back then.
01:15:04.000
And it's more interesting than anything, because I'm watching these guys and I'm like, if one of these guys got sick, they're basically dead.
01:15:13.000
I know that's a fucked up thing to think of, but if they break their leg, they're basically dead.
01:15:17.000
If they get some cancer, no one's going to detect it.
01:15:22.000
They used to fucking get lots of polio back then, right?
01:15:27.000
But when you watch these clips of these old, old, old movies, you go, wow, I just...
01:15:40.000
So you go back 100 years ago, people didn't know what the fuck was going on.
01:15:44.000
They had this sort of very rudimentary understanding of what was interesting or entertaining.
01:15:50.000
And then you see how limited culture was because the kind of jokes that they laughed at, it showed you how suppressed people are and how...
01:16:06.000
Like a regular, a fat guy back then was like a regular guy today.
01:16:34.000
This is the first time I'm like, what the fuck is that?
01:16:37.000
This is one of those times where you think something's something and it's not.
01:17:11.000
Imagine if you're on his show and you're like, hey, Groucho, nice to meet you.
01:17:17.000
He looks like some fucking weirdo dude walking around the Bronx that I know.
01:17:26.000
His eyebrows are pretty thin and he painted them thick and fat.
01:17:44.000
It's just like it's so smaller and fidelity is not good.
01:17:47.000
Right, so the images were so low quality that you could get away with it back then, so he could walk around with paint on his lip.
01:18:41.000
He probably went through a bunch of different versions of the fake mustache.
01:18:47.000
That looks like he glued a mustache on his lip.
01:18:50.000
Because look, his lip goes down, the mustache goes up.
01:18:57.000
I had to do a scene once in a show where they gave me a fake mustache.
01:19:00.000
It feels so weird because it stiffens your upper lip.
01:19:16.000
So if he got rid of the eyebrows and got rid of the fake mustache, that dude could go anywhere.
01:19:30.000
Go to the one in the middle where it's really ridiculous.
01:19:38.000
I can't believe I didn't know that until this moment.
01:19:59.000
You know what used to make me laugh that should never make anybody laugh is Ernest.
01:20:07.000
I was talking about that with someone the other day, Ernest.
01:20:10.000
I feel like Ernest started out doing commercials.
01:20:15.000
I feel like that was like a character, like the fucking Verizon guy or something like that.
01:20:22.000
After you've done a couple of bullshit movies or something?
01:20:37.000
But he was like a character where it was like continuous earnest.
01:20:41.000
It was that, but Larry the Cable Guy is like a legit comic.
01:20:47.000
It says, first commercial featuring the character advertised in appearance by the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders at Beach Bend Park in Amusement Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
01:21:11.000
There's some video of him doing Dan Whitney in its old 1980s comedy where he had the pants that go up real high, like Cavaricis and shit.
01:21:20.000
He was a good comic, a decent comic as a regular comic, but then he found his niche.
01:21:30.000
He started out a guy who would be a regular on a radio show.
01:21:40.000
Larry's a really good writer, or Dan's a really good writer.
01:21:42.000
So Dan wrote these bits for this character and wound up taking off, and then he started doing stand-up with it.
01:21:48.000
I met Dan way back in the day, like 1996. Fucking two or some shit.
01:21:57.000
We were at the comedy festival at the same time together.
01:22:00.000
He was just a normal dude who did this Larry the Cable Guy character.
01:22:13.000
And then he's like, why am I being Dan Whitney?
01:22:36.000
And Dice had a bunch of different characters that he used to do on stage.
01:22:39.000
He does phenomenal impressions, like off the charts.
01:22:52.000
And then at the end of his act, he would do the Dice Man.
01:23:00.000
It's like, he was funny, and then all of a sudden, boom, he went nuclear at the end.
01:23:05.000
And then he decided, why don't I just stick with this one fucking character and do my whole act like that?
01:23:12.000
And he was legitimately the first comedian that sold out arenas.
01:23:27.000
Like Dice never has to work again for the rest of his life.
01:23:30.000
And now he just goes to the gym and makes silly videos.
01:24:07.000
There's a picture of him, a more recent one, no mask, of him walking out of somewhere, and he has a tank top on.
01:24:39.000
Well, if you took steroids and did what he did.
01:24:53.000
I don't understand people that don't say they're on some shit.
01:24:59.000
I've been doing some shit since I was in my 30s.
01:25:01.000
As soon as my hormones started to drop, I was like, there he is.
01:25:12.000
And I think he's probably coming straight from the gym, so he's got a nice pump.
01:26:05.000
I don't even know what it was, but we shot a bunch of shit.
01:26:15.000
Bro, we would go to this place called Platinum Gym, 24 hours on Queens Boulevard.
01:26:22.000
We would come out of the gym, I'd have the fucking needle loaded up in the car, we would just go round back, yeah, we'd fucking have the music on, like Mobb Deep would be played, fucking shoot me in the ass, I'd shoot him in the fucking ass and that's it.
01:26:52.000
They're like, I get my testosterone from my balls, bro.
01:26:58.000
When you get into your 50s and 60s and then your 70s, your balls are not going to work so good and you can make a choice.
01:27:04.000
You can either go with science and get it replaced and you feel way better and you're way stronger and your immune system's better and your brain works better and you feel happier or...
01:27:25.000
But the thing about Camille is he used to be, you know, one of those alt guys.
01:27:31.000
He was like a slim, you know, regular guy that didn't look like he really worked out or lifted weights.
01:27:36.000
And then he became this guy who looks like a superhero.
01:27:51.000
There's an article that says, no, you don't have to do steroids to look like this.
01:27:57.000
Whoever wrote that article is a fan of his, or one of them alt kids that doesn't want to believe in Santa Claus.
01:28:11.000
Well, he had the inject synthol in his arms, make them like balloons.
01:28:19.000
And most of them, they would tell you the real shit.
01:28:32.000
And I made a mistake from Peter Lugas that they gave me.
01:28:43.000
Now, that picture on the right is also what he used to look like.
01:28:56.000
You need hair on you and shit like that and fucking ripped underneath like a Russian wrestler.
01:29:01.000
What people said about is the look of his face.
01:29:23.000
In your jaw, especially when you're clamping down and lifting weights.
01:29:35.000
No, it looks like a ball that's been cut in half, and I put it in my teeth like this, and I go like this.
01:29:47.000
It's all, I mean, part of me is like, you really should have a strong jaw in case somebody punches you.
01:29:54.000
Of course, that's the knockout mechanism right there is where you get touched.
01:29:57.000
There's something about jaw strength that correlates to total body strength.
01:30:02.000
I don't understand it totally, but I read this thing about it.
01:30:06.000
I was like, what are the benefits of working out with your jaw?
01:30:09.000
If you can't find what the thing is, I can find it on my Amazon.
01:30:13.000
The guy who sells it on TikTok, they put filters on his face.
01:30:17.000
Oh, he was in that fucking movie I just seen, man.
01:30:22.000
Yeah, and that's what's fucking blowing my mind because I wouldn't have recognized him now.
01:30:29.000
That's a lot of tests and probably some other shit too.
01:30:32.000
You're talking about the guy who only works out his jaw and he's got these preposterous muscles.
01:30:47.000
That's also for like anti-aging, I would imagine, to try and keep your skin tight.
01:30:51.000
It's just really good for your face muscles, too.
01:30:54.000
But you see a lot of motherfuckers with droopy faces.
01:31:02.000
But I think there's also some health benefits of having a strong jaw.
01:31:06.000
See if you can find out what are the health benefits of jaws or size.
01:31:15.000
You order shit ever off Instagram when you're stoned?
01:31:27.000
I used it at the gym and it's pretty fucking sick, actually, because it gives you that dead weight.
01:31:32.000
It's only one pulley pulling the weight, so it's just one thing.
01:31:51.000
It was like a mandolin that you could make fries, you could cut the onion, you could do...
01:32:27.000
You don't need expensive stuff to cook great food.
01:32:31.000
Look at that little grill, that little Weber grill.
01:32:35.000
It's like, if you have two steaks, that's all you need.
01:32:44.000
I'm literally just trying to cook in the wilderness.
01:32:56.000
It cools down in less than, you know, five minutes.
01:33:04.000
It's like, if you think about portable grills, what's more portable than that little 12-inch Weber?
01:33:09.000
And even you could get crazy with the 18. Yeah.
01:33:16.000
And then the other thing is like, realistically, when you're cooking with fire and wood, if you got lump charcoal, that's wood, right?
01:33:27.000
Fire and wood, so you get that nice smoky feeling.
01:33:53.000
Because even though it's complicated and it's digital and there's engineering involved.
01:34:07.000
Like, if you're one of those dudes who wants to be there and work it and you want to make sure that you're stoking the coals.
01:34:15.000
But if you're one of those dudes that wants to do a brisket for eight hours and never sweat it at all...
01:34:20.000
You have a thermometer that goes into the meat, gives you the exact temperature.
01:34:24.000
Your phone's telling you what temperature your food is.
01:34:32.000
You could cook for 40 hours with one hopper full of pellets.
01:34:34.000
I've literally seen people that don't know how to cook fucking pull off tremendous looking meals on Instagram.
01:34:42.000
At the end of the day, it's still just fire and wood.
01:35:05.000
But there's something very satisfying about being there over the coals.
01:35:09.000
Like having those coals and putting that steak on.
01:35:24.000
Logs and the bracero, and you light the logs on fire, and then the ashes come down, you scrape them underneath.
01:35:37.000
It's like you gather your people and you fucking feed them off this crazy contraption that someone else hand-built for you.
01:35:46.000
All the hand-built love that goes into things and the passion, it really counts for something.
01:35:52.000
I think there's something about cooking over fire that sparks up your DNA. Every time I've been camping and we cook, get one of them little grills and put it down over the fire, there's something about cooking over fire that...
01:36:06.000
Gets those caveman genes fired up, like those old ancient genes.
01:36:14.000
It's like an exciting thing, too, because success in life was not guaranteed back then.
01:36:19.000
So when you cook over fire, I think it sparks something in your brain, particularly for men.
01:36:24.000
Like, women don't seem to get that excited about cooking over a fire.
01:36:32.000
It does spark something, and I'll say this, I was never fucking excited about going camping, but once I went there, once I was there, it was like the times of my life, you know, like I had a great time, and you're right, when you spark that stuff, and you're like, you're sitting around this fire, and things are cooking,
01:36:50.000
It feels like you're, you know, the stakes are higher.
01:36:55.000
It's almost like if you didn't have this food, you'd be fucked out here.
01:36:58.000
But because you have that food, you're like, oh, now I'm nourished.
01:37:01.000
I'm nourished, I'm gonna stay alive, and you're smelling that clean air, and you look and hear fucking birds and shit.
01:37:20.000
I have bird feeders at my house, and I fill those fuckers up all the time.
01:37:24.000
I'm basically like an enabler for all these birds.
01:37:32.000
I actually have a champion birder in my family.
01:37:42.000
No, he looks at them and he diagnoses the species and finds new ones.
01:37:53.000
You know, birders are the people that push the binocular game.
01:37:58.000
There's two types of people that push the binocular game.
01:38:05.000
They just adapt to Yeah, they have high-tech optics for sure, but they're not wearing binos.
01:38:14.000
They're looking through scopes and telescopes and stuff like that.
01:38:17.000
They got range-finding scopes and things along those lines.
01:38:20.000
But those birders, man, they're out there in the forest just looking for the glimmers of a cardinal's feathers.
01:38:29.000
Bro, I get excited when I walk through the park and I see a new species that I have never seen before.
01:38:40.000
I've only been to Mexico, which is fucking unreal to me.
01:38:46.000
When I was four hundo, close to four hundo, I climbed Coba.
01:38:51.000
When I came down, I threw up all over the place.
01:39:03.000
One of the weirdest moments of my life was going to Chichen Itza.
01:39:20.000
They're so unpredictable because like you get one and it's like 50 milligrams.
01:39:32.000
I don't even know these people but they make, yo these things, I don't know dog.
01:39:41.000
They hit you with a fucking big Francis Ngannou fucking punch.
01:39:48.000
So these breath strips were my favorite because you could take them and put them in a Listerine breath strip container and no one knows the difference as long as no one asks you for one.
01:40:04.000
I gave one to Tommy Segura and we had to fly to Australia and he told me he literally almost jumped off the plane before it started taking off the runway.
01:40:15.000
But he hung in there and he didn't say shit and he made it all the way across the ocean.
01:40:29.000
You gotta fucking be able to hold your stuff, man.
01:40:38.000
I think I gave it to him when we were sitting there waiting to get on the plane.
01:40:46.000
You have to be in the air already once you're fucking demolished.
01:40:56.000
But I remember being well connected to Mother Nature.
01:41:00.000
And then I was walking around Chichen Itza just thinking that these people lived here.
01:41:08.000
There's a book that someone recommended, Jamie, and I want to think they recommended it on the podcast, but it might be wrong, but I'm reading it right now.
01:41:28.000
land so strange and it's about Cortez and about all these explorers that came over to America and their accounts of coming over to America and to Mexico you know fucking hundreds and hundreds of years ago and they talk about the people that originally visited the Maya when the Maya was around and it made me realize These fucking people brought disease to these people and
01:41:58.000
that's probably what was the end of the Mayans.
01:42:01.000
Because we know for a fact that European diseases, when they came to North America, wiped out the Native American population.
01:42:12.000
It is absolutely true that genocide was committed on Native Americans.
01:42:17.000
But what's also true is that 90% of them were wiped out by disease.
01:42:23.000
People have this idea that it was like smallpox in blankets.
01:42:28.000
They had no immunity to all the diseases the Europeans came over here with.
01:42:32.000
And it killed 90% of the Indians that lived here.
01:42:36.000
So you've got to imagine the people that lived in Mexico, the Mayans, had probably the same immune system.
01:42:48.000
Yeah, you hear in a lot of the tribes like Papua New Guinea and a lot of these different tribes that die off because the Westerners, the Americans, they're coming in and fucking bringing the plague, bringing the fucking plaga.
01:43:02.000
Straight up, killing them just off of being around them.
01:43:06.000
They've left amongst themselves forever, right?
01:43:12.000
And there's always been this wonder, it's always been a puzzle and a mystery.
01:43:21.000
And if you go down to Mexico, if you go to Chichen Itza, you will see some people that are descendants of the Mayans.
01:43:28.000
And you can tell they're small people and they look like when the images and the hieroglyphs of the Mayans drew of them, they look very similar to them.
01:43:35.000
But there's something that happened, and they don't know what it is.
01:43:40.000
There's a lot of speculation, but I am willing to gamble that it was probably disease brought in by the Europeans.
01:43:45.000
When I was listening to this book and they were talking about these, they were there.
01:43:50.000
These Europeans gave this description, these people, with golden headdresses, and they were adorned with gold, and they had these incredible structures made out of stone.
01:44:00.000
So clearly, they saw these people when they were there in their prime.
01:44:04.000
And I guarantee you these motherfuckers brought the diseases.
01:44:10.000
That's what it comes down to, those cocksucker motherfuckers, man.
01:44:13.000
Well, they probably didn't even know what diseases were.
01:44:32.000
Have you ever thought about opening a restaurant?
01:44:37.000
I don't want to fucking do like some corny ass shit.
01:44:49.000
It has to be probably just me cooking there whenever I want.
01:45:06.000
About a chef just cooking you whatever they want to.
01:45:20.000
It's like you're getting this rare pair of sneakers or this rare fucking thing.
01:45:30.000
There's like a real connection between you and the chef when that happens.
01:45:39.000
Tim Dillon was there, and Fahim Anwar, and Tony Hinchcliffe.
01:45:45.000
We all sat down at this big table, and the waiter came over, and we're talking about ordering.
01:45:49.000
And then the waiter said, do you want me to just have the chef just start bringing shit out?
01:46:01.000
They brought her all these steaks and these pasta dishes and squid ink pasta with scallops and clams and mussels and shrimp.
01:46:27.000
That's been one of the hardest things to not eat every single day of my life, you know?
01:46:32.000
But if you could just limit it to occasionally, you're okay.
01:46:38.000
And also try, you know, to fuck myself with different soba noodles and shit like that.
01:46:56.000
There's something about a delicious meal like that.
01:47:03.000
But then, like, an hour later, I'm always like, oh...
01:47:07.000
God, this brick in my stomach, this glue, this paste that's working its way through my intestines.
01:47:14.000
You just gotta hit the treadmill for a little bit and just walk it off.
01:47:17.000
But my body's like, hey, fuckface, that's not real food.
01:47:27.000
But when I eat healthy, if I eat like just either fish or steak or wild game and vegetables, I just feel way better.
01:47:38.000
Whenever I eat like that, if I eat like a nice salad, some fresh vegetables and a thick steak, a nice piece of elk with some like maybe some asparagus or something, I just feel...
01:47:52.000
Well, I've been trying to dial it in with the food and for me...
01:47:56.000
I've been doing all kinds of different shit, you know, where I was just doing vegetarian, just drinking juices for a little bit.
01:48:05.000
I took all this shit off by fucking with myself.
01:48:08.000
I was a science experiment with food with myself.
01:48:13.000
Day one was looking at that fucking, that scale and seeing it, and right then I had a green juice.
01:48:31.000
I walked around the track like twice and my fucking lower back was hurting me like a fat piece of garbage.
01:48:53.000
If I put Jamie in a fireman's carry and walked around a track, that is literally what you were doing.
01:49:01.000
Every time I do certain movements, I put the 130 on my 135 on my back.
01:49:09.000
I walk over the fucking bridge with the 100 pound medicine ball.
01:49:16.000
Just to make sure that's what I was fucking carrying around.
01:49:25.000
I have another one that's 40. But even just the 25 pound one.
01:49:36.000
Like, if someone says, I'm 25 pounds overweight, you're like, ah, you could lose that.
01:49:47.000
I can't even believe that I had that much to fucking lose.
01:49:55.000
Well, we're going to talk a year from now when you look like Camille Nanjiani.
01:50:23.000
He became something that he didn't used to be before, and apparently he gets hated on a lot because of it.
01:50:38.000
But have you, I mean, listen, I've seen like, I don't know where he's from, but I've seen that dude Jinder Mahal from fucking WWE. I don't know who that is.
01:50:54.000
Well, look at Jon Jones, one of the greatest fighters of all time.
01:51:12.000
I see pictures of him yanking that fucking weight around.
01:51:17.000
You know, John is not to be fucked with, and John's gonna move up to that heavyweight division, and he's gonna be prepared.
01:51:23.000
Are they gonna give him someone first, or is he gonna get the title shot right away?
01:51:37.000
Because first of all, Francis Ngannou is poised to be the biggest thing in sports.
01:51:50.000
A sand mine in Cameroon when he was 11 years old.
01:51:53.000
He was a little kid, and he was digging sand out.
01:51:56.000
Do you know what kind of muscles you develop doing that?
01:52:14.000
On my podcast, I don't know if you heard it, but he was...
01:52:16.000
When he was talking about the harrowing journey of getting out of Africa and getting into Europe, it took 14 months, and then multiple times, more than seven times, they arrested him and sent him back to the fucking desert.
01:52:29.000
So he's in the middle of the fucking Sahara Desert, where you could easily die, and he managed to get back again to Morocco and try it again, and they sent him back again.
01:52:42.000
And then you have the fact that he had one fight with Stipe and it didn't work out well.
01:52:49.000
He thought he was just going to blow him out of the water.
01:52:50.000
But Stipe had a great game plan, figured him out.
01:52:56.000
A bunch of those shots would have dropped any other man.
01:53:09.000
He'd only been doing MMA training for like six years.
01:53:12.000
Yeah, he was just trying to fucking pounce them.
01:53:16.000
But then he got to where he is now, where he's like...
01:53:25.000
That team that he's got now, that team at Extreme Couture.
01:53:43.000
But yeah, they hate on him because he's great, bro.
01:53:53.000
That is the main sport that I follow at this point in my life.
01:54:19.000
So it's going to be a year and a month since there's been a full arena.
01:54:23.000
And of course it's in Florida because Florida is out of fucks.
01:54:40.000
I have to fly into the arena and just fucking drop me at the seat.
01:54:43.000
Do you remember that time that dude, that fan man, he had like a parachute and a fan dropped in on Holyfield versus, was it Holyfield Bow?
01:54:53.000
I think it was Bow, right into the fucking ring.
01:55:00.000
I think they did it outside at Caesars Palace in Vegas.
01:55:04.000
Remember they used to have a lot of those fights outdoors?
01:55:08.000
Those outdoor fights were wild because sometimes it was hot as fuck out there, too.
01:55:16.000
Do you know Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is fighting Anderson Silva?
01:55:23.000
I mean Anderson Silva is definitely good with his hands, but his jaw is gone.
01:56:00.000
When those guys, when their ability to take a punch goes away, it's...
01:56:05.000
There's not much they can do because the sport kind of requires you to eventually get hit.
01:56:10.000
Like I was watching some Shogun highlight today that they fucking put up and it was Shogun knocking Liddell out.
01:56:24.000
He got knocked out by a lot of people and he got knocked out by Rich Franklin.
01:56:28.000
After a while, man, the body- Just a lot of KOs.
01:56:31.000
But in his day, man, Chuck Liddell was the- Fiercest motherfucker ever because he would he didn't give a shit if you punched him He didn't he literally didn't give a fuck.
01:56:40.000
He waded through the fire just to get to you He has such confidence in his chin and his power that he just waded through bombs just to get to you just to touch that chin And once he got guys he'd be like what the fuck?
01:56:53.000
He had ultimate confidence in his ability to destroy people and the way he did it was so ferocious He made the sport.
01:57:03.000
I was just going to say he's like the logo almost.
01:57:07.000
When he rose to the top in the early 2000s, when he was the fucking Iceman, that was just when everybody was starting to tune into the sport.
01:57:16.000
That was just when Forrest Griffin and Stefan Bonner had that crazy main event on the Ultimate Fighter.
01:57:22.000
I was watching that in the kitchen when I was working in Forrest Hills, Queens in the fucking kitchen on Spike on a TV this small.
01:57:34.000
That fight made the sport, and then Chuck Liddell really made the sport because those guys were good, but with Chuck Liddell, those guys fought a crazy battle, and it was basically a draw.
01:57:44.000
I mean, one guy won it, but let's be honest, it was basically a draw.
01:57:47.000
And they gave contracts to both guys because of that.
01:58:00.000
In that era, when Chuck was in his prime, he was just a destroyer.
01:58:10.000
But you can only be that guy for a certain number of years and then the wheels fall off.
01:58:19.000
And everyone that steps into the cage is a fucking man.
01:58:28.000
That woman who's fighting this weekend, Zhang Weili.
01:58:40.000
Joanna had a football growing out of her forehead.
01:59:14.000
That and the John Wick scene where he kills everybody in the bathhouse.
01:59:51.000
I don't know why they never brought him back as Blade.
01:59:53.000
When Marvel Comics are doing all these different movies, right?
02:00:01.000
I put it on Twitter a while back that they need to have Wesley Snipes come back as Blade.
02:00:10.000
Just give him a chance to get into, I don't know what kind of shape he's in right now, but just give him a chance to get jacked again.
02:00:55.000
Like, they literally drop movies in your house.
02:01:08.000
Other than Wesley Snipes, I think it should be Wesley Snipes.
02:01:36.000
Announced that Blade, who's been- This is okay.
02:01:46.000
They haven't announced a date for a movie, but- Can you give me another picture of Kevin?
02:01:50.000
That looks like a young Nino Brown right there.
02:02:12.000
Either way, I think you should have gave Wesley a job.
02:02:14.000
Wesley should be in it as the father figure or something.
02:02:21.000
Because he's a daywalker, he's like part vampire.
02:02:27.000
They keep pumping him up with that vampire blood?
02:02:30.000
I just knew it was Wesley Snipes and that shit and I had to see it.
02:02:33.000
I was a fan of the comic book back when I was a kid.
02:02:38.000
In the comic book, he had knives that were made out of teak.
02:02:42.000
He would stab these fucking vampires with wood knives.
02:02:50.000
That opening scene, that's one of the greatest opening scenes of any fucking movie ever.
02:02:55.000
When Tracy Lords picks up that dorky surfer kid, that dorky California kid, he's like, uh, cool.
02:03:01.000
And she takes him to this fucking vampire bloodbath.
02:03:31.000
And then they're all freaking out because then Blade shows up.
02:03:36.000
Bro, that's one of the greatest opening scenes of any movie ever.
02:03:53.000
They made Blade after Wesley Snipes tried to get a Black Panther film made in the 90s.
02:04:03.000
Some people say that you should never recast it.
02:04:09.000
Like, I don't know why they wouldn't recast it.
02:04:13.000
I don't think you should just let that role die.
02:04:18.000
Like, Black Panther was a fun comic book movie.
02:04:21.000
And for black people, it was the first movie where you had a black superstar, a black superhero, all black cast, in a black universe.
02:04:35.000
I know that Chadwick died and everybody's out of homage to him, they don't want, out of respect to him, they don't want it to be recast, but I think you wait some time and then you reboot it and you find someone who's going to do it justice.
02:04:59.000
They've rebooted Spider-Man like a hundred times.
02:05:01.000
Well, I was going to say, I never thought that there should be another Batman than Michael Keaton.
02:05:06.000
And then fucking, here we go, fucking Christian Bale.
02:05:31.000
Lou Ferrigno was the first one for TV. That's the only one I know.
02:05:35.000
But when the Hulk went to CGI, the first guy I think was...
02:05:56.000
You just took the green off of him and he was just the normal guy.
02:06:05.000
So that was like, when I met him, it was almost 20 years ago, and he was still jacked.
02:06:14.000
He probably doesn't have the mass, but he's still ripped.
02:06:17.000
Probably not close, but probably still massive.
02:06:33.000
It's not him today, but this is the most recent photo on his Instagram.
02:06:50.000
He looks like Nick Saban and Jeff Garland mixed...
02:06:58.000
Imagine Lou Ferrigno plays his brother on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
02:07:11.000
It gives you a happy feeling about yourself and knowing that you're connected with yourself.
02:07:17.000
But if you're thinking about other people's problems, how bad you feel about yourself.
02:07:21.000
But the important thing about being happy, the most important thing is about taking action for yourself.
02:07:31.000
How great you are, how great this negative environment is affecting you.
02:07:44.000
But the important thing is to feel good about yourself.
02:07:54.000
It could be anybody at a moment, so fucking Lou Ferrigno just touched me.
02:08:22.000
Now go down and let's see if there's some video of him.
02:09:00.000
Or like, palled around with Conan or something?
02:09:07.000
Imagine you replace Arnold Schwarzenegger's career with Lou Ferrigno.
02:09:16.000
So he's got that, you can tell in his speech that he doesn't hear himself.
02:09:20.000
Like, he knows how to talk well, but you can tell there's something missing in the way.
02:09:30.000
Right, like Arnold Schwarzenegger from Austria.
02:09:37.000
There's no time period he could be from, right?
02:10:00.000
Like, if you did that with me, it's not going to look that big.
02:10:20.000
It was the most realistic to the movie or to the books, the Robert E. Howard books, but the movie was dog shit.
02:11:06.000
Because it started off great, and I was all in.
02:11:09.000
I was like, fuck yeah, because it was more realistic.
02:11:12.000
Because Conan, the original Conan, as painted by Frank Frazetta, and as written by Robert E. Howard.
02:11:28.000
Take that picture that you got your coaster over.
02:11:32.000
That is the fucking Conan of Robert E. Howard, man.
02:11:48.000
Get Quentin Tarantino to write a goddamn Conan movie.
02:11:53.000
Quentin Tarantino, just give him a box of coke.
02:12:08.000
This fucking vault of coke and just let's go to war.
02:12:14.000
And then give him all the Robert E. Howard books and just go, please, just read this.
02:12:19.000
Robert E. Howard was a super depressed, crazy guy who was like, I think, I believe he lived with his mom.
02:12:29.000
Imagine he was this barbarian just fucking and slaying his way and usurping thrones and taking over and becoming a king and slaying every man in front of him.
02:12:39.000
And he just described this completely unrealistic physical specimen of a man who had no fear and just destroyed wizards and demons and just went to hell and back.
02:12:53.000
The guy wrote these books and I think he killed himself in his 30s.
02:12:57.000
I think he was pretty young when he did himself in.
02:12:59.000
I think he just was like a guy who was a writer who was seeking escape through this fantasy that he had created.
02:13:09.000
This character, Conan the Barbarian, that to this day resonates.
02:13:17.000
He lived on through those thoughts and those words.
02:13:21.000
Well, whatever it was that tortured him also inspired him.
02:13:26.000
You know, whatever pain that that guy went through that he was experiencing when he wrote those books.
02:13:31.000
I was in love with those books when I was a kid.
02:13:35.000
Because I kind of, I was just real depressed and lost and I didn't have any friends and we moved a lot when I was a kid.
02:13:42.000
And so I was always reading books and comic books.
02:13:45.000
I had to like lose myself in fantasy because my reality was not that fun.
02:13:50.000
And I remember those Conan books, man, they just resonated with me, man.
02:13:57.000
I have them to this day on my shelf, on my wall, looking at them.
02:14:00.000
I pick them up every now and then and just go over them.
02:14:04.000
Those books, man, to me, they meant everything.
02:14:07.000
So when Arnold Schwarzenegger became Conan for the movies, I was like, meh.
02:14:13.000
You weren't feeling it because you had such a fucking close connection to it that that wasn't the guy.
02:14:18.000
That wasn't the guy that they were fucking describing.
02:14:34.000
And I thought they were going to do it with Jason Momoa.
02:14:36.000
When I saw him as Conan, I was like, that's the guy.
02:14:43.000
He's a guy who swings a sword and kills people all the time.
02:14:50.000
I was happy that they were making Arnold Schwarzenegger, who became a superstar.
02:15:13.000
He was splitting people's skull down to their teeth.
02:15:19.000
When it started getting fucking dark, it started getting really good.
02:15:34.000
You know, there's a few of those guys out there.
02:16:00.000
Yeah, I think they're redoing the fucking Soprano movie.
02:16:05.000
Are they going to do a backdated when he was young?
02:16:10.000
I watched Sopranos at least two, three times a year.
02:16:27.000
But when you hear that he was eating good, you know, he was in Rome eating good, drunk, chilling, right?
02:16:34.000
Yeah, he was doing a lot of that, but he died so young.
02:16:43.000
But that was like, in that character, you saw that indulgence, right?
02:16:52.000
Like, he seemed like a murderer who was also a good guy.
02:16:56.000
I mean, he was the perfect character for this anti-hero mob boss.
02:17:02.000
That was the first time there was a television show where the star, the head guy, the guy you loved, was a fucking murderer.
02:17:14.000
To talk about Christopher Moltisanti, I met Michael Imperioli and he came on to my show and he's not fucking Christopher Moltisanti.
02:17:32.000
He brought me incense that I still have to this day in my little shrine in my studio.
02:18:25.000
That dude's made $69 million from an NFT. And I'm fucking laughing.
02:18:44.000
It was a meme amount, but both of them for over like five grand.
02:18:53.000
I think it was the person who bought them from me to try to create some attention, but there was a bid on it for a million dollars.
02:19:19.000
Bro, I have fucking 75 things that I have right here on the phone.
02:19:27.000
I think it's more evidence that the simulation is real.
02:19:39.000
You know, like Richard Feynman said, if you think you understand quantum physics, you don't understand quantum physics.
02:20:03.000
The agriculture, this, the rainfall, how accurate is that?
02:20:09.000
Farmers would buy those things and they would adjust their crops based on the farmer's almanac that was predicting the weather for like a year.
02:20:17.000
Me, I know farmers that they do it on the moon.
02:20:31.000
Jamie, how does a farmer's almanac predict things?
02:20:36.000
In my head, I was trying to get a good question to see if there would be a story about this.
02:20:40.000
Was there ever an impending storm that never came before that they got right?
02:20:46.000
And everyone was like, oh shit, April 2nd, get fucking ready.
02:20:50.000
I think 1984 I was in Hurricane Gloria on TWA flight 495 coming in from West Palm Beach to JFK. Was it shaky?
02:21:01.000
I was a child, but apparently we were in the air for seven hours.
02:21:06.000
My grandfather threw my mother out because they got into an argument over bagels.
02:21:17.000
Let's find out how accurate are farmers' almanacs.
02:21:44.000
Most scientific analysis of the accuracy of a farmer's almanac forecast has shown 50% accuracy.
02:21:53.000
I've also seen it's been traditionally as high as 80%.
02:22:10.000
I think that's what it's coming to, just like an average thing.
02:22:24.000
There's the claim that they're going to look into in this article.
02:22:28.000
The claim is that they're able to make long-range weather predictions regarding regional temperature and precipitation.
02:22:42.000
Actual meteorologists don't agree with the pseudoscience of the almanacs.
02:22:54.000
The ones that are floating right there with the weather ball.
02:22:58.000
Oh, well, this wouldn't be that, because they were doing this 100 years ago.
02:23:02.000
When it comes to those secret formulas that incorporate solar activity, weather experts will point out there's no scientific backing to those methods.
02:23:09.000
For those methods, this shouldn't come as a surprise, since that line of thinking is more than two centuries old.
02:23:17.000
But the opposite of this is like that Curb episode where the weatherman always gets the weather wrong so he can go play golf.
02:23:24.000
And the meteorologist is always saying it's going to rain.
02:23:39.000
The fuckin' buoys in the ocean, surf line, fuckin' the surf report works.
02:23:47.000
Somehow they're able to predict whether it's gonna be three or four feet, five to six at what time, depending on the wind, this, current, and the buoy.
02:24:07.000
That's bullshit because there's nothing there that's telling you why.
02:24:21.000
Based on how much rain they got the year before.
02:24:23.000
I mean, maybe there's like a cycle that they're anticipating.
02:24:27.000
Well, no, rain I understand, but I'm talking about the prediction of when it's going to rain.
02:24:33.000
There's telltale signs, but things happen subtly.
02:24:36.000
Imagine if you lived 200 years ago and no one knew what was coming.
02:24:41.000
But you knew because there was fucking telltale signs.
02:24:45.000
My grandfather told me when the tops of the trees fucking do this, it's gonna rain.
02:24:52.000
They could tell it by the back of the leaves being like silver color.
02:24:59.000
No, like, this is an Ohio thing, so I don't know what trees it was specifically.
02:25:03.000
It might be a specific tree, but, like, the leaves would, they'd start blowing, you could see they would be, like, almost white or silvery on the back.
02:25:08.000
There's something exciting about life before satellites.
02:25:12.000
There was something exciting about it, you know?
02:25:21.000
You drove, like, five blocks, and it was, like, this caged-in thing, and it was a satellite.
02:25:31.000
And then later on, it ended up being like this fucking cable thing that they put in for the neighborhood.
02:25:39.000
There was a dude that I knew that had one in his yard.
02:25:56.000
Anyway, this guy had a fucking satellite dish in his yard and he would have to adjust it to try to hit a certain place in order to get a signal.
02:26:09.000
But he can get television shows and weird things.
02:26:15.000
I mean, the thing was like almost as big as this room.
02:26:19.000
They had it at my cousin's house in Brooklyn and they would get all kinds of foreign fucking news.
02:26:25.000
They would get the news from back home in Yugoslavia.
02:26:36.000
You had to have a backyard because you had to fucking have some big-ass...
02:26:39.000
You can't put it on the side of any house or building.
02:26:42.000
I remember back when DirecTV came along, you could get a chip, and the chip would give you all the pay-per-view on DirecTV all the time.
02:26:59.000
I don't know how he got the black box, but he had the connection to the cable company throwing $50.
02:27:20.000
Like, you used to have to go back and forth through the channels and find a tit.
02:27:25.000
You know, find them pumping a little bit and you get hard and...
02:27:30.000
And then one day you just fucking, you could press it and order it and I ordered the fucking porno at the house and they found out and it was like, it was a big deal.
02:27:45.000
It used to be back in the day that the biggest producers, the biggest distributors of porn was hotels.
02:28:00.000
Yeah, because like if you're a guy and you're on a business trip and no one's around, you're like, finally.
02:28:07.000
There's two fucking things you know when you're in a hotel.
02:28:12.000
When he comes on the TV. You turn the fucking TV on, it's Mario Lopez.
02:28:26.000
I think that for a while, I don't know if that's true now, because now I think the internet is the biggest distributor of porn, but I think for the longest time, it was hotels.
02:28:36.000
But there was something about buying it on a bigger screen.
02:28:53.000
No, you have to go back to your roots sometimes.
02:28:56.000
On your knees in the bathroom with a Hustler magazine.
02:29:03.000
These fucking kids are jerking off to their phones.
02:29:07.000
Then they're touching the phone, making the call, fucking having pizza with the fucking phone.
02:29:23.000
How many dudes' sperm do you think you had on your hands?
02:29:28.000
Who knows if someone fucking wiped their ass and then handed me their hand.
02:29:33.000
Woman might have fucking went in there and fucking did that thing, you know?
02:29:37.000
Who knows what motherfuckers do, and that's disgusting.
02:29:41.000
Then I saw someone started wearing the Mizuno glove.
02:29:46.000
So when you give just a pound with the Mizuno on, it protects you.
02:29:58.000
He wore the weightlifting gloves back in the day.
02:30:01.000
Unless it's love, you hug, and you don't need to tell.
02:30:17.000
Well, one of the things that Fauci said when this thing was going on was that we're never going to shake hands again.
02:30:29.000
Well, if everybody gets vaccinated and it works, you tell me no more shaking hands?
02:30:42.000
I think most people aren't even tuned into him.
02:30:45.000
Like, there's only a certain generation that don't even know who that fool is.
02:30:54.000
They do, but kids don't even fucking, they don't, it doesn't correlate.
02:31:11.000
I can't even go to the store with the mask and breathe.
02:31:14.000
You're gonna tell me I'm gonna fucking breathe hard and have to wear the mask?
02:31:18.000
If you might as well put the belt on me also and fucking strap me up while I'm fucking.
02:31:30.000
Reggie Watts is apparently gonna wear that shit on the plane unless he's been vaccinated.
02:31:34.000
It's like a spaceship thing you turn on as a fan and a HEPA filter.
02:31:45.000
And it keeps, the fan keeps it from fogging up in there.
02:31:57.000
I think it's going to make us very, very appreciative when this is all over.
02:32:28.000
Well, you are renewed when you think about what you've done to your body.
02:33:02.000
Honestly, working on the left, it was comical because it was so bad, but then when I went back to the right, it felt really strong.
02:33:10.000
But I have to work on that because I can't be comically on the left.
02:33:19.000
There's a thing that I read about this, and it seems to apply to reality, that when you have a strong side, like if you have a dominant side, if you work on your other side, it actually helps your dominant side.
02:33:34.000
Like, one of the greatest of all time, rest in peace, Marvin Hagler, was one of the greatest switch hitters of all time.
02:33:39.000
Because he could fight southpaw or orthodox just as effective.
02:33:44.000
And Terrence Crawford, one of the best alive today, same thing, can fight off orthodox.
02:33:50.000
And many, many mixed martial arts fighters can do that.
02:33:52.000
So many fighters because that's in the traditional martial arts.
02:33:56.000
You're taught, especially the karate guys, you're taught to be able to fight from both stints.
02:33:59.000
Like Stephen Thompson, he fights just as good orthodox as he does southpaw.
02:34:13.000
57-0 as a kickboxer before he ever got into MMA. That's crazy.
02:34:21.000
I mean, that man is fucking, he's something else.
02:34:27.000
Yeah, and, you know, people don't realize, like, you're seeing Wonderboy now at 36, 37 years old.
02:34:33.000
Like, he was in his prime more than a decade ago, you know?
02:34:39.000
It's incredible how much longevity that guy has and how good he is, you know?
02:35:20.000
He goes, I've been doing medicine for more than 50 years.
02:35:23.000
He goes, this guy's tendons in his eyes are three times larger than a normal person's.
02:35:29.000
It's like his whole body is like he's built different than a normal person.
02:35:50.000
Because if you think about how much emphasis they put on sport in Cuba.
02:35:58.000
He was one of the best wrestlers to ever compete in MMA. Ever.
02:36:03.000
When he came over from wrestling to MMA, people were like, holy shit.
02:36:08.000
Because they knew what a fucking athlete this guy is.
02:36:21.000
Anderson got into his 40s, you start to see it.
02:36:51.000
I had the honor to see his fights when he was in his prime.
02:36:55.000
And I was a fan of his before he ever got to the UFC, and I remember it was one of those fights when he fought Chris Lieben, his first fight in the UFC. I remember that.
02:37:03.000
I remember one of my friends was a gambler, and I would always give him advice, and he would bet on the fights.
02:37:21.000
When he came over, I'd seen his fights over in England.
02:37:40.000
But that's the thing about, like, the great fighters.
02:37:42.000
There's only a few years where they can maintain that RPMs.
02:37:46.000
You know, there's only so much the body can do.
02:37:50.000
You're out there beating the shit out of each other, and then you have to train, and in training you get beat up too.
02:38:01.000
You know, it's not just the mind, like, you getting hit, but it's also the stress of the job.
02:38:07.000
It's like every couple months you're going to war.
02:38:12.000
You make your living in your underwear with these little tiny four-ounce gloves on.
02:38:18.000
And, you know, dudes are trying to kick you in the face and punch you in the face and strangle you.
02:38:23.000
It's a crazy life to fucking choose, but I love it.
02:38:29.000
There's nothing more exciting in sport, because it's the purest of all sport.
02:38:37.000
I wonder if any of these YouTubers are going to get into MMA. Because it's interesting, seeing Jake Paul...
02:38:44.000
Yeah, but I mean, there's nothing wrong with them choosing boxing.
02:38:49.000
Like, he's fighting people that are not quite good enough.
02:38:53.000
You know, like, the Nate Robinson guy was a good athlete, but not really a fighter.
02:39:17.000
They said he got a half a million guaranteed, and then points, and then the pay-per-view was crazy.
02:39:49.000
If you go back and watch him compete in the Olympics...
02:39:51.000
The body that he had back then, I mean, he was lean and strong.
02:39:57.000
I mean, he fought in the UFC at 170. Yeah, he didn't look good.
02:40:09.000
It was a good business decision if that was the case.
02:40:12.000
Look, these Paul brothers, Logan and Jake, they're making some big money moves.
02:40:20.000
And they got everybody talking about him, including us.
02:40:26.000
People were trying to downplay who he is and what he does.
02:40:33.000
I've watched him when he knocked out Nate, and then when he knocked out Ben Askren.
02:40:44.000
You can hate on him all you want, but you better recognize that guy can fuck people up for real.
02:41:03.000
And he talks a ton of shit and still knocks people out.
02:41:42.000
I'll make a little zone where you can get the food.
02:41:55.000
They could just cut back on one of them musical guests.
02:42:00.000
Well, they had Ice Cube, and all those guys, and Snoop Dogg, and all those guys, and then they had Justin Bieber, and then they, what was the girl?
02:42:15.000
I didn't get to go to fucking Chichen Itza because they said Justin Bieber, he fucking ruined it.
02:42:20.000
He said he shot the video at Chichen Itza and he fucking ruined the stairs.
02:42:58.000
Justin Bieber asked to leave Mexico's Tulum ruin site.
02:43:02.000
Justin Bieber and his entourage were asked to leave the Mayan archaeological site of Tulum after he apparently tried to climb onto or among the ruins.
02:43:35.000
Do you hear that his bodyguards had to check on him in his sleep, he said recently, because he was doing so much drugs that they had to make sure he had a pulse?
02:43:42.000
So they would check on him while he was sleeping.
02:43:44.000
Bro, these fucking kids, man, they got to stop this shit.
02:43:49.000
I don't know what the fuck they're taking, but it's fucking, it's like Nuke.
02:43:57.000
The bad guy, he fucking, everyone was hooked on Nuke.
02:44:33.000
Sometimes there's a thin line between good and bad, and bad is sometimes better than mediocre and good, you know what I mean?
02:44:52.000
Remember in the first Wonder Woman, the good one, he had this thing that he would sniff?
02:45:00.000
Yeah, the Nazis had created this, like, purple dust.
02:45:11.000
That's that shit that, like, makes your bones exposed.
02:45:21.000
He gained metahuman power by inhaling a special gas.
02:45:30.000
Skin would go black and have all these fucking, like, lightning bolts in it and shit.
02:45:41.000
And then he had to duke it out with Wonder Woman.
02:46:04.000
Imagine if that dude beat Wonder Woman's ass like, what?
02:46:12.000
The ending ends and everybody's like, what the fuck just happened?
02:46:24.000
If they're making anything new, holler, please.
02:46:27.000
I don't know what I could play, but please just put me inside.
02:46:36.000
Those guys make some fucking incredible movies, man.
02:46:47.000
I'd go, tell me what you think about the Big Lebowski.
02:46:56.000
But then there's dudes that are overboard that dress like him and try to live exactly like that.
02:47:06.000
Somewhere out there is a dude dressing like Blade, driving around in a Dodge Charger with a fucking samurai sword.
02:47:10.000
I would like to dress like fucking Blade, I swear.
02:47:14.000
Sometimes I dress like fucking Blade and just jump in the fucking car with the driving gloves.
02:47:19.000
Do you know how many dudes dressed up like Bruce Lee?
02:47:25.000
Dudes would walk around with kung fu outfits on, with them little tiny shoes, those little kung fu, the little thin soles.
02:47:34.000
For a long time, guys dressed up like Bruce Lee.
02:47:53.000
It's not a kimono, but it's the other version of that.
02:48:01.000
Yeah, but like a light gi, if there was such a thing.
02:48:07.000
Yeah, because they call, in Brazil, they call jujitsu geese kimonos.
02:48:13.000
Isn't there some sort of correlation between Japan and Brazil?
02:48:20.000
Jujitsu was originally Japanese, and they brought it down, Count Maeda brought it to Brazil in the early 1900s and taught it to Carlos Gracie and Elio Gracie.
02:48:32.000
And they fought all these no-rules fights back in the day.
02:48:37.000
And essentially, Ilio and Carlos created Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
02:48:45.000
And Carlson was like the champion of the family.
02:48:47.000
There was guys who beat Ilio and then Carlson would go and beat those guys.
02:48:53.000
They had some incredible connection with Japan because Japan brought them the art of Judo and Jiu Jitsu and then they refined it and turned it into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and became, in my opinion, the most important family in the history of martial arts is the Gracies.
02:49:15.000
When Hoist Gracie was strangling people with his legs on pay-per-view, people were like, what the fuck is happening?
02:49:20.000
He got Dan Severin, who's a giant-ass, huge wrestler, and he put him in a triangle and made him tap.
02:49:44.000
You been paying attention to the news, all this alien shit that's happening?
02:49:47.000
All those pentagons confirming all this UFO footage?
02:49:52.000
You know, I'm out of touch with so many things, but I'm in touch with so many things, you understand?
02:49:58.000
Oh yeah, I mean, all this shit's about to hit the fan.
02:50:08.000
I'd rather this type of thing than fucking all the negative garbage that's out there.
02:50:21.000
But I think this negativity is accentuated by social media, but then really the fucking pandemic was gas on the fire.
02:50:30.000
And now everybody, they're more interested in being negative than anything.
02:50:37.000
Looking at the worst aspects of people, instead of like granting them forgiveness, instead of just like going, you know, people make mistakes.
02:50:44.000
Everybody's like, burn them down, cancel culture, fuck you.
02:50:58.000
I try to keep my mind just, you know, with these...
02:51:03.000
Those things you just showed me with those characteristics from the...
02:51:14.000
I want to live my life to the fullest and have the people around me very happy.
02:51:23.000
And if all the people that are in these small groups also live this way, then these small groups can come together and we could live pretty much like that as a nation, as a country, as a world even.
02:51:36.000
We just have to understand what this is all about.
02:51:43.000
You can just live and dwell in negativity if you choose, but you don't have to.
02:51:53.000
It's hard when you feel like you got no hope and your life is not what you want it to be and you're not where you want to be.
02:52:02.000
But I feel like everyone has to know that they have choices.
02:52:05.000
That there's not like, not every door is closed.
02:52:11.000
That's why I think what you've done with your body, what you've done over the last year, was showing that you can make positive choices and it really can change your life.
02:52:24.000
We talked about this today that you were inspiring people when we were working out, but I really think it's probably hard to know how much you inspire people.
02:52:32.000
I think you probably inspire thousands and thousands of people to change their lives and to live a better life.
02:52:45.000
I don't even like overindulgence and just fucking living to the fullest without any regard, with zero regard, you know?
02:52:59.000
So I wanted to show myself that I could do this.
02:53:03.000
Like, I don't have to fucking just be, you know, a fucking eating animal.
02:53:08.000
Well, not only that, you carry it with you on the road.
02:53:12.000
My manager got a hold of me, and she was like, Action Bronson is looking for a gym.
02:53:21.000
I'm like, let's bring him down to the honor gym.
02:53:37.000
Listen, brother, it's always great seeing you, but you make me feel very happy.
02:53:44.000
A year from now, you're going to look like Camille.
