Comedian Joe Rogan stopped by the pod to talk about his new show, The Joe Rogans Experience, and how he got started with it. He also talks about how he came up with the idea for the show, and why he decided to do stand-up comedy in the first place. Joe also shares some of his favorite moments from his time on The Office, and gives us some insight into what it s like to be on the set of Saturday Night Live. And he talks about why he thinks it s a good idea to have guests on the pod, and how it s better than having a guest on a regular podcast. And, of course, we talk about how to make a podcast that s not just about comedy. It s about other things, too. Enjoy, Joe! Logo by Courtney DeKorte. Theme by Mavus White. Music by PSOVOD and tyops.

00:05:06.000Well, it's like a lot of impulsiveness involved in some folks in our business, you know, and sometimes they think it's a good idea and you want to call them up, you know, right before they do it and catch them.
00:05:49.000I'm always careful about what I'm posting.
00:05:51.000Like, I have this company that cuts my bits together for me and subtitles them, and then they'll send it to me.
00:05:57.000I don't know what they're going to send me, because it's always, like, crowd work stuff that they're sending me, because I don't want to burn material.
00:06:03.000And I'm like, fuck, that's funny, but I know that this one line in there is going to cause a fucking shitstorm of people to be like, what's wrong with you?
00:06:39.000You're trying to apply these rules that are created by these people that just want to kind of control people's ability to express themselves.
00:06:48.000Well, they want you to show this world that matches their imaginary world.
00:09:43.000Everything is, and so in that fight with Billy Joe, and Billy Joe kept doing that same lean over and over, like after he would punch, he would lean out of the way, and he just timed it perfectly with that uppercut, and threw everything in it.
00:09:57.000Yeah, that's the thing, he really watches you in a fight.
00:10:00.000He's not like some knucklehead who knows how to, he really pays it, he's very aware.
00:10:06.000And to me, I was never a Canelo guy before, but after the past five fights, I was like, you know what?
00:10:11.000If I'm not a Canelo fan, now I'm a fucking hater.
00:10:14.000But I am a fan now because I really appreciate his work ethic, you know, the way he fucking...
00:14:04.000Yeah, but if you hear the Portuguese from Portugal talk, it's a very different accent.
00:14:08.000Oh, I don't even know what it sounds like over in Portugal.
00:14:11.000Yeah, because when I hear like, you know, the guys in the jiu-jitsu world speaking, and you hear them talking, they're always laughing and making jokes.
00:14:17.000And you know they're making jokes and breaking each other's balls, but you know what they're saying.
00:19:30.000We're lazy, that's why we do what we do.
00:19:32.000Yeah, we're lazy, we're impulsive, you know?
00:19:35.000And whenever people try to say that I'm disciplined, I always go, listen, I'm the fucking laziest, disciplined person you'll ever meet in your life.
00:19:41.000I get things done, but I don't want to.
00:19:43.000I mean, it's not like I get up every day and I'm like, yes, here we go!
00:20:51.000Here, well, let's go to telomeres first.
00:20:53.000Google the term telomeres because I don't want to fuck it up.
00:20:56.000But it has something to do, I believe, with your mitochondria and the length of your telomeres indicates...
00:21:06.000It's an indication of health and of biological age, although the biological age aspect of it is disputed, but people like David Sinclair think it's a good indication of your biological age.
00:21:18.000He's been on the podcast a couple times before.
00:21:20.000He's a professor at Harvard, and most of his study is in anti-aging.
00:25:34.000The way those things work, Sauna, is it depends on where you're at.
00:25:37.000If I'm sitting at the top bench, my head is in 200. But if I lay down in the bottom bench, I'm really at 185. How long are you sitting in that for now?
00:26:06.000I have AirPods specifically for use in the sauna because I have my one that I use when I'm talking on the phone that I never take in the sauna because the sweat gets into these things and it completely fucks up the microphone.
00:26:21.000So if I try to call people, they're like, where the fuck are you?
00:27:22.000So are these the stories told from notes he left?
00:27:26.000Yes, notes he left and then him telling a story back home when he eventually got rescued or made it back to Spain, which I believe happened.
00:27:49.000They sailed, like, I don't know how many fucking miles in rafts, and then they got attacked multiple times by Indians when they would get to shore, and some Indians took care of them, and some Indians attacked them and killed them, and...
00:28:04.000What a fucking harrowing journey, man.
00:28:07.000I think I'm on Chapter 8 now, and so far they've been at it for 10, I think he's been in America for 10 years at this point, or close to it.
00:28:43.000I love stories about what it was like hundreds and hundreds of years ago.
00:28:51.000If you look at the world, in terms of like the hundreds of millions of years of people, or that, rather, hundreds of millions of years that life has been here on Earth, and then look at the amount of years that people have been here.
00:29:04.000We've only been here like 300,000 years, 400,000 years, whatever it's been.
00:29:08.000Then you go like 500 years ago, which is what this is.
00:29:44.000You can't be fighting off catapults with fucking flaming bodies headed your way like the Mongols were doing.
00:29:52.000When you're fighting wars constantly, and you're constantly being invaded, and you're worried about people raping your women and stealing your food, there's no innovation.
00:30:02.000You're not going to get anything done.
00:30:05.000But they still had, like, their medicine men, and I'm sure they had, like, their, you know, what would be the tech people of the time, that they would, you know, these would be the warriors that would go out and do that, and then they would protect these people to, you know, to innovate the village or whatever.
00:33:42.000It's a weird time, Russell, but it's also a weird time for them.
00:33:45.000It's like, you know, they're getting sucked into these ideologies too.
00:33:49.000They're getting sucked into all this groupthink.
00:33:52.000And there's so little, like, real one-on-one interaction when it comes to these kind of ideas and talking about things and what's appropriate and what's not appropriate.
00:34:04.000Like, if I have questions about, I have a trans friend, and I ask her questions all the time, that if you didn't know her and I were friends, you'd be like, are you attacking this person?
00:34:14.000I'm like, no, I'm asking fucking questions so I can get some clarity, so I understand the situation better.
00:34:19.000Yeah, it's funny that some things you can make fun of, and it's okay.
00:34:25.000And everyone knows that you don't mean anything bad by it.
00:34:46.000Well, it's weird, too, to me that the Trump administration, during the time that Trump was president, really showed some hypocritical thinking by a lot of people.
00:34:54.000Because one of the things you're never supposed to attack is someone's body.
00:39:20.000So even the idea of race itself is kind of preposterous.
00:39:25.000We vary because our ancestors developed in different climates.
00:39:28.000Well, one of the arguments from the racist side is that their theory is that white people are more evolved, hence why they look least like monkeys.
00:40:26.000Obviously, I'm not a historian, so take this with a grain of salt or a whole bag.
00:40:30.000But if you're dealing with people that were in North America, like pre-Ice Age and during the Ice Age, they came down the Bering Strait, they think.
00:40:42.000They came across the Bering Land Bridge from Asia.
00:41:11.000So there's still some pieces to the puzzle that needs to be solved, but a large percentage of Native American civilization came out of Asia.
00:42:20.000I mean, the last thing they needed is that.
00:42:23.000Couldn't you give them fire first, for fuck's sakes?
00:42:24.000Well, these people had been fucked with, too.
00:42:27.000There was a man named Commander Maurice Vidal Portman, and he was like an explorer slash pervert who would travel the seas and find these tribes of people and make them pose and take pictures with them wearing weird clothes and shit.
00:42:47.000He visited a couple other places, and they think that people like that that visited, that exploited these folks and fucked with these folks, gave them a very hostile take on intruders.
00:42:59.000And so when people come, like that guy who came with the Bibles, he probably didn't do his history, didn't read up on what had happened to these folks.
00:43:07.000He thought he was just going to bring the Bibles.
00:43:28.000The weird ones, I shouldn't say the weird ones, the more tragic ones currently are the ones that are in the Amazon because they get murdered by logging companies.
00:43:41.000They find them to be an impediment to their, I mean, not just trees, whatever natural resources they have that they're trying to exploit in the Amazon.
00:43:51.000And, you know, they find these people slaughtered.
00:44:16.000Do you know a lot of the Amazon rainforest, which is this fucking insanely dense, incredible rainforest, a lot of it used to be populated, and a lot of the growth there is actually because of humans.
00:46:04.000Scholars in the past quarter century have shown that this mythical image of untouched nature is just that, a myth.
00:46:10.000Like humans everywhere, Native Americans shape their environments to suit them through burning, pruning, tilling, and other practices, and the Amazon is no different.
00:46:19.000If you look closer, you see the deep impressions that humans have made on the world's largest tropical rainforest.
00:46:25.000Scientists reported yesterday in the journal Science.
00:46:49.000In fact, humans have inhabited the Amazon for roughly 13,000 years and have been domesticating plants for at least 8,000.
00:46:56.000And recent archaeological studies, especially in the last two decades, show that indigenous populations in the past were more numerous, more complex, and had a greater impact on the largest and most biodiverse tropical rainforest in the world than previously thought.
00:47:13.000What's the lifespan of those untouched humans?
00:47:23.000Colleagues were taking inventory of the vast diversity of the Amazon trees.
00:47:27.000They sampled 1,100 scattered plots far from modern human inhabitants to identify more than 16,000 different species among those 390 billion individual plants.
00:47:43.000Despite the broad diversity, over half of the total trees were made up of just over 1% of the species.
00:47:50.000About 20 of these hyper-dominant plants were domesticated species, such as the Brazil nut, the Amazon tree grape, and the ice cream bean tree.
00:48:01.000That was five times the amount researchers expected if chance was the only factor.
00:48:07.000The hypothesis came up that perhaps people might have domesticated these species, which would have helped their abundance in the Amazon.
00:48:15.000So they think they domesticated these species that they use for food, and then these species took over and just dominated the ecosphere.
00:48:27.000Yeah, they've also started using something called LIDAR. And LIDAR is something they use from planes, and they scan the rainforest, and underneath this insane, dense, vast jungle...
00:48:41.000It can see through everything into the ground.
00:48:43.000And they've found these grids that indicate that there were cities there.
00:48:47.000So all this shit that's incredibly dense and filled with trees now at one point in time had complex like roadways and irrigation systems and they think that the latest theory as it explores when they came there like this Cabeza de Vaca dude and these others that came from Europe probably gave these people the plague.
00:49:10.000They probably gave these people diseases just like they did to...
00:49:13.00090% of all Native Americans were wiped out by disease brought by European explorers.
00:49:33.000They came over on boats filled with rats and shit and fucking brought horrible diseases that these Native Americans didn't have any immune system for.
00:49:41.000Well, they think the same thing probably happened to the Amazon.
00:49:44.000And so the lost city of Z, they think that these cities really did exist, that they did have these incredible cities.
00:49:52.000And then when they came back just 20, 30 years later looking for these places, all they found was jungle.
00:50:26.000And when human beings start doing what Cabeza de Vaca and Cortez did and all these other folks did back in the day where they would travel to these new places, they would bring disease and they would kill off a lot of people that were there.
00:50:40.000They think that's what happened to the Mayans, too, you know?
00:51:36.000They're kind of like a hieroglyph type deal, but I think the way the Mayan's writing would work, They would have images that represented sounds like you would have an...
00:51:53.000So like you'd have an eye and then you'd have the sea and then you'd have an ant like the bug and then you would have a rose like a flower.
00:52:04.000And that would be how you say, I see ant rose.
00:52:08.000Yeah, that's exactly how I read that when you said it in my head.
00:52:11.000And I thought I was being funny in my head.
00:52:23.000Fucking Jamie had this idea a while ago.
00:52:26.000Jamie was saying, like we were talking about like sending emojis to go, he goes, do you think that like maybe eventually that will be our language?
00:52:35.000That like emojis would be, and we were both, I think we were pretty high at the time.
00:53:41.000But one day, maybe they'll have better emojis or maybe some sort of three-dimensional emoji that works with AR, augmented reality.
00:53:52.000So it gives you a real inclination of what the person is trying to say without knowing their language.
00:53:59.000Yeah, like when I was about to, when my friend texted me before I came, he was like, hey, good luck on, and he didn't say Rogan, he sent me a gorilla.
00:55:05.000I had a photographer at my house, and he was a young black kid, and he was taking some pictures of me, and he goes, because he showed me, he was wearing shorts, and I go, who's that on the back of your calf?
00:55:14.000And he goes, oh, that's Neil deGrasse Tyson.
00:55:50.000Just to be aware of the beauty of this mystery of this fucking universe that we're floating around in.
00:55:58.000And now they said, you see that they, I don't know if it's real, because you never know what the fuck is real on the internet anymore, but they say they found some sort of fungus life on Mars.
00:59:31.000If I don't have enough sleep and I decide I want to eat something that I know could trigger me, it'll really trigger me if I haven't slept enough.
00:59:38.000Oh, so like you're tired if you're worn out.
00:59:41.000But if I've slept enough, I can eat whatever the fuck I want, do whatever I want.
00:59:44.000That's the same thing with getting sick.
00:59:46.000You know, it's amazing how much your immune system sort of regulates everything.
00:59:49.000And when you're tired, your immune system is weakened.
00:59:52.000And I know a lot of people that have gotten, like, really sick, well, they probably wouldn't have gotten sick because they're run down like fighters.
01:01:16.000How it's going to affect me, when it's going to affect me, if I eat too much, if I eat too late, if I try to go to bed too soon after eating.
01:06:05.000I wish you got out of your career and you didn't have to deal with brain damage and body damage.
01:06:11.000But that's also one of the reasons why it's so wild and exciting to watch is, you know, there's severe consequences to their actions, you know?
01:06:22.000What about that fight that was supposed to happen with Anderson Silva and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.?
01:14:27.000When a guy is as loved as Julio Cesar Chavez and then the odds on him are so high, right, of him winning, then everybody gets weird, right?
01:17:10.000So he took me to the strip joint, maybe about three or four miles from my house, and he was like, come on, we're going to go watch the Hagler-Leonard fight.
01:17:19.000And he walked me right into the strip joint, and he paid whatever the cover charge, I think it was $10, and I had never seen naked women...
01:17:42.000And then the club never got the fight.
01:17:44.000So they started throwing bottles in the club and I'm not even paying, the bottles are whizzing past my head and I'm just, just staring at vaginas.
01:17:52.000So like there was a problem with the pay-per-view or something?
01:17:54.000Yeah, something happened with their feed.
01:17:57.000And everybody, they were kicking everybody, they made an announcement, everybody please exit the building, we're giving refunds on the way out, and I was just like, alright, I got up and I walked out, I got 10 bucks, and I was like, where the fuck's my coach?
01:20:52.000And Teddy Atlas was saying they should have given it to Triple G. A lot of other people favored Canelo, but a much better performance for Canelo.
01:20:58.000But I think Canelo, like we said, these guys like Kamaru Usman, like Canelo Alvarez, like these guys who are just consummate champions...
01:21:08.000You're just gonna get a better version of them every single time they step into the ring.
01:21:12.000Every single time they get in the cage.
01:21:25.000And I remember sitting with Covington's family because Chuck Zito got me the tickets.
01:21:32.000So I was sitting there and then when the main event started, I noticed all the MAGA hats and And Candace Owens was sitting there and I was like, fuck, I don't want to be on this side.
01:21:40.000I don't want my friends to see me sitting here.
01:21:42.000So Clay Guida was sitting across the aisle and I go, Clay, who's sitting there?
01:26:49.000It's not so much that there's these people externally, it's the industry itself that's doing this.
01:26:54.000Well, it's the world that's doing this, and it's accentuated through social media.
01:26:59.000I mean, if you ever see the documentary, The Social Dilemma, they talk about how this is happening and that the algorithms are actually enhancing and even reinforcing this kind of behavior.
01:27:10.000People aren't necessarily naturally inclined to form these tribes and hate on people that disagree with them.
01:27:28.000They have opinions, but they like to get along with people.
01:27:30.000But when you reinforce these thought bubbles and you reinforce these echo chambers, which is what online algorithms do, whether it's Facebook or Twitter or whatever.
01:27:39.000It's also about how you look to other people.
01:27:42.000It's so much about appearance as opposed to the substance behind it.
01:28:53.000And this is the antidote, or at least the counterpoint, to this shallow online culture.
01:28:59.000I feel like Andrew Schultz is the guy that can speak to the younger generation.
01:29:05.000As well as our generation to talk to each other, he's that conduit between our world and their world.
01:29:11.000He's certainly one of them for sure and he's one of the most intelligent and reasonable guys of the young up-and-coming generation and one of the most He's one of the most thoughtful, also one of the most clever, in terms of the choices he makes and the way he,
01:29:27.000like, doing the thing that he did for Netflix and taking the time during the pandemic to innovate.
01:29:37.000I also feel like he's the guy who can explain to these people why these people are this way and why this isn't bad and why it should be okay.
01:29:48.000Yeah, well, that's what he did with those Netflix clips.
01:31:28.000And he feels my leg up high and I reach over and he goes, you're not flexible enough!
01:31:37.000And having never done Rubber Guard, seeing videos of Eddie do it and all these guys in 10th Planet do it, and I go, I'm going to try Rubber Guard.
01:31:48.000But because he said, you're not flexible enough, my ego went, I'm gonna fucking go for it.
01:31:54.000And I didn't know that I had to grab my leg.
01:38:11.000And when they got shipwrecked and when they got stuck here, they realized that they were fucked and there was no food.
01:38:19.000So they started eating their horses and then they started taking their rifles and melting them down to turn them into axes so that they could cut down trees so they could build rafts so they could get out of there.
01:38:31.000They realized they were in this terrible situation and they ate all their horses and then they melted down all their rifles and then they had to deal with angry Natives.
01:39:28.000But if you had a fast-forward camera and, like, could see, you know, a fast-forward video, like, what it was like to go from nothing where Chicago is to Chicago.
01:40:02.000You know what I watch on YouTube a lot is they found all those film footage of people driving like and they colorized some of it, you know, the 1800s and the early 1900s, New York City or whatever.
01:40:13.000And you see the horse and carriages in the city.
01:44:15.000He was the guy that got his ass beat by everybody, and then he became the top guy.
01:44:19.000But I always say the more you get your ass whooped and you don't like it, the more you're going to get better at not getting your ass whooped.
01:44:24.000You know, I'm not that familiar with Caleb Plant.
01:44:26.000I know he's really good, but I don't think I've seen any of his fights.
01:44:30.000I mean, listen, let's call it what it is.
01:44:33.000I mean, Canelo will beat him, but that doesn't mean Caleb's a pushover by any means.
01:44:39.000Just pull up some Caleb Plant highlights.
01:45:32.000I think a friend of mine who worked for Mayweather reminded me that I saw Caleb in the gym the one time I went to go watch Mayweather train.
01:45:42.000And I think he said Caleb must have been 4 or 5 and 0 at that time.
01:45:48.000But he's one of those guys that really fucking puts his nose to the grind and fixes his mistakes as well.
01:45:55.000It's kind of one of those things, man, where when you're- That short left hook, you see?
01:45:59.000That's a Mayweather thing right there.
01:46:01.000When you're facing a guy like Canelo Alvarez that's so good right now, it's hard to get to those RPMs without having the kind of fights that Canelo's had.
01:46:15.000Without having those two Triple G fights, without having that fight with Mayweather, without having the fight with Danny Jacobs, without having the James Kirkland fight, all those fights where he built up to where he is now, high profile, where Caleb obviously is very skillful.
01:46:30.000He hasn't had those high profile big fights.
01:47:45.000And also, you know, Andre Ward crushed him.
01:47:49.000You know, especially the second fight.
01:47:50.000In the first fight, arguably, he could have won that fight.
01:47:53.000You know, it would be nice if Ward came out of retirement to fight Canelo.
01:47:59.000Well, they offered it to him after the Kovalev fight, and I admire Andre Ward greatly.
01:48:05.000I think he's one of the best examples of what a guy can do if he just decides, I'm done.
01:48:11.000He wins an Olympic gold medal, he wins two world titles in two different weight classes, retires undefeated, and did most of it with one arm.
01:52:45.000I know a lot of people that had real mental health problems because they didn't do shit this year.
01:52:49.000My comic friends that don't have podcasts or, you know, there was a lot of people that I talked to like deep into July and August that hadn't seen a single fucking person the entire lockdown.
01:53:01.000They had done nothing but go to the grocery store and then go home.
01:53:44.000And you kept up with the vitamins and everything.
01:53:46.000Yeah, the vitamins I've been on for many years now, and I really think that saved my ass a lot.
01:53:51.000High doses of vitamin D I was on for years, and I didn't realize the, you know, I didn't know it was going to benefit me in the long run, but I'm glad it did.
01:53:59.000Well, it's a big one for brown folks, too, you know?
01:54:02.000You know, you're not the darkest skin guy, but if you think about, like, people that are, like, dark black, it's a real issue, man, because it's hard to get that vitamin D just from the sun.
01:54:12.000You know, the whole reason why they have that dark pigment is the body is protected from the sun, the sun's rays, but that makes it more difficult to get melanin, whereas a guy like Canelo, which is hilarious that he's Mexican, he's the whitest fucking guy that's ever lived.
01:55:20.000I love the fact that he said I'm a better servant of boxing if I can serve boxing better as a commentator and just being a representative of the sport.
01:55:30.000And also, super articulate, has zero problems with his speech, no sign of brain damage at all, everything's smooth, handsome, in shape, still fit, still works out.
01:59:13.000On some flights, I've heard, if you're eating, lower your mask, eat, and I'm like, I'm not going to fucking get crumbs and food all up in my fucking mask.
01:59:21.000Well, the thing is about flights, flights are relatively safe, apparently, because they have the HEPA filters.
02:00:37.000Especially post-COVID. And, you know, you've got guys like you and Dave and Donnell and everybody coming out with really solid fucking stuff now.
02:00:45.000And it's good for the game because it makes everybody think harder.
02:00:49.000Well, there's a high level of comedy out right now, for sure.
02:06:10.000Chickens were likely first domesticated about 5,400 years ago in Southeast Asia, although archaeological evidence of wild chickens goes back even further to a 12,000-year-old site in northern China.
02:06:23.000Once domesticated, though, chickens were brought westward to Europe and east-southeast into Oceana.
02:07:35.000About 100 kilograms southeast of Rome.
02:07:38.000While excavating a previously unexplored section of the cave, archaeologists from the Archaeological Superintendency of Latina and the University of Tor Vergata recently unearthed broken skulls,
02:07:54.000jawbones, teeth, and pieces of several other bones, which they say represent at least nine Neanderthals.
02:07:59.000That brings the cave's total to at least 18. Oh, 10. Anthropologist Alberto Carlo Blanc found a Neanderthal skull in another chamber in 1939. Oh, wow.
02:08:11.000So they've been finding them there forever.
02:08:14.000Italy was a very different place 60,000 years ago.
02:08:16.000Hyenas, along with other Pleistocene carnivores, stalked rhinoceroses, wild horses, and extinct wild bovine called...
02:09:37.000It's a ritual that they do in Tibet where they feed their dead to vultures.
02:09:45.000And the idea is that there's no reason to waste someone's body by putting it in the ground.
02:09:50.000You're better serving earth and nature and life by feeding it to the vultures.
02:09:55.000So they would take these people's bodies and And they cut them open and even break open the bones and slice all the meat and then leave them out there for the vultures.
02:10:06.000There's really graphic images of these Tibetan sky funerals.
02:11:08.000They're probably not going to show you too much in this video, but there's plenty of photographs where you can watch all of it and watch how they do it.
02:11:17.000I don't think they'd allow you to show it on YouTube.
02:11:20.000YouTube would want you to be vague about it.
02:11:36.000I think there's another thing called Traces of Death that kind of got mixed in.
02:11:39.000I was sort of looking into this because I thought I'd seen real Faces of Death in my past.
02:11:43.000I had the VHS's of it back in the day.
02:11:45.000Some of it, I think, for sure was fake, but there was a video that I saw where they tied this guy's legs to one bumper, and they tied his arms to another bumper, and that one was real as fuck.
02:11:54.000Because that guy was screaming, and they pulled him apart.
02:11:57.000But yeah, they're rebooting it for today, for some reason.
02:16:27.000There was a guy that I was friends with back in the day.
02:16:30.000He was an actor, and one of his buddies was on the set, and he had a blank gun, and he thought it'd be fun to take the gun and put it to his head and pull the trigger, and it killed him.
02:16:39.000Just the force of air coming out of the gun killed him.
02:20:13.000I was watching that Hulu docuseries, Sasquatch, and it was talking a lot about the people that they used to make the railroads and to mine and the people that used to cut down the trees up in the Pacific Northwest and up in Northern California.
02:20:36.000And there's these photos that they showed of these Chinese folks that were working on those railroads, and it's so depressing, man.
02:21:09.000Apparently, they have so many Asian folks that were getting into Harvard that they decided to specifically tailor their tests to make it more difficult, or their requirements, or what they're...
02:21:26.000See, I don't want to fuck this up because Andrew Yang's people were the ones who were talking to me about it.
02:21:31.000One of the guys who came last time when Andrew Yang was here.
02:22:27.000Because there was a lot of Asian people that were insisting that that was the case.
02:22:32.000Said the statistical evidence did not show that Harvard intentionally discriminated against Asian Americans.
02:22:38.000Students for fair admissions and advocacy group We first filed its lawsuit in 2014 saying that Harvard's race-based considerations for applicants discriminated against Asian American students in process.
02:22:53.000Today's decision, once again, finds that Harvard's admission policies were consistent with Supreme Court precedent and lawfully and appropriately pursue Harvard's efforts to create a diverse campus.
02:23:04.000That promotes learning and encourages mutual respect and understanding in our community.
02:23:08.000It's like, what is the argument, though?
02:23:11.000Proponents for ending race-based considerations at US universities were unfazed by Thursday's decision to plan to bring the case to the Supreme Court.
02:23:21.000Okay, the question of how much race should be a factor in college applications is a hotly contested one.
02:23:27.000President Trump's administration has challenged college on using race in admission policies, claiming such practices violate federal law.
02:23:35.000Last month, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Yale University, saying its policies violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Yale has said the lawsuit is baseless.
02:23:47.000What is school's admissions rules though?
02:25:02.000In the lawsuit, plaintiffs claim that Harvard imposes a soft racial quota which keeps the number of Asian Americans artificially low.
02:25:10.000The low percentage of Asians admitted to Harvard plaintiffs maintain was suspiciously similar year after year despite dramatic increases in the number of Asian American applicants and the size of the Asian American population.
02:25:24.000During the lawsuit, the plaintiffs gained access to Harvard's individualized admission files from 2014 to 2019. Wow.
02:26:28.000Asian Americans scored higher than applicants of any other racial or ethnic group on other admissions measures like test scores, grades, and extracurricular activities.
02:26:41.000But the student's personal rating significantly dragged down their admissions chances.
02:27:16.000Harvard's admissions staff testified they did not believe that different racial groups have better personal qualities than others, but nevertheless, Asian applicants as a racial group receive consistently weaker personal scores over the period surveyed and Harvard admissions officers rated Asian Americans with the worst personal qualities of any racial group.
02:28:06.000Now, things that you and I think are completely acceptable, like you seeing a black lady with a Chinese guy in the audience and immediately going, wow, look at you breaking boundaries.
02:28:18.000Like, that's the kind of shit that you would do.
02:29:44.000I was just saying, this social score thing that they're doing in China is dangerous because what it does is it makes you follow this trend.
02:29:53.000It makes you keep along with whatever is acceptable currently.
02:29:58.000And you lose your ability to think outside the lines or express yourself in any controversial way because you'll lose social score.
02:30:05.000The problem is that people have forgotten how to react naturally anymore.
02:30:09.000So they wait to be told how to frame things.
02:30:14.000So your immediate reaction to certain things may be your genuine being and then somebody will go, oh no, that's not right because blah, blah, blah.
02:30:23.000And then you go, oh yeah, you're right.
02:31:00.000Sometimes it makes people say completely irrational things and they hope that by saying these irrational things they're going to be accepted.
02:31:11.000It's like one of the weirdest times we've ever had in terms of communication because it takes real courage to actually speak your mind, especially if you're on social media because you will get attacked.
02:32:41.000And then you get to your headliners and by the time they get like you and Dave or something get on and the audience is right at the right place for everybody.
02:32:48.000Yeah, but the thing is, everybody's right place is a different thing.
02:32:50.000It's like some people are dealing with demons, and then that mushroom hits them, and the mushroom is like, you're an asshole to your mother.
02:33:44.000So, we're illegal in Holland, and the problem is I haven't been able to get out to Holland to try the product, and I can't try it in North America because it's illegal here.
02:34:12.000I was like, why aren't we in Portland?
02:34:13.000And they're like, well, we got to get – it's more than just getting approved in Portland.
02:34:17.000You got to get the whole FDA involved and everything is – This is the biggest door opening.
02:34:24.000The biggest change in our society will be when they legalize psychedelics.
02:34:29.000Because it will dissolve so many of our preconceived notions about what government is, what life is, what civilization is, what community is, what love is, what insecurity is.
02:34:40.000There's so much of what we see every day when you're dealing with people that is based on insecurity and fear.
02:34:49.000And one of the best methods for alleviating insecurity and fear are psychedelics.
02:35:35.000And I think that's amazing that they're doing that and that, you know, they've gotten these studies funded and they've gone through and they hold real promise.
02:35:43.000And so I will hope that eventually we come to our senses and we recognize that there's a lot of things out there that can help people.
02:35:54.000The thing is that these are human issues.
02:41:26.000You know, in the 70s in Canada, especially where I was living, to be an Indian kid was a rough place to be.
02:41:33.000You were very low on the totem pole there.
02:41:36.000And you're expendable to them so that you don't equal anything.
02:41:40.000So when I hear about things, I'm like, I know what it actually looks and feels like, but I didn't harbor that to make me this bitter person where, oh, I fucking hate white people.
02:41:49.000I understood even at that small age that I was like, you know what, I'm pretty sure this will turn around.
02:44:38.000He's a gentleman that was on my podcast.
02:44:40.000He's a brilliant blues musician, and he has personally himself converted over 200 people to quit the KKK and neo-Nazi organizations.
02:44:54.000Yeah, and came on the podcast and explained how it all happened that he was on the road And he was in a club doing music and he sat down with this guy and the guy was like, I never had a drink with a black guy before.
02:45:55.000He's not like this guy who's like, I'm gonna be an activist.
02:45:57.000Just this real sweet, open-minded guy, but also very intelligent and very articulate.
02:46:02.000And when you're talking to the guy, you can't pretend he's not smart.
02:46:06.000So for a lot of these guys, they're like, shit.
02:46:09.000When you're talking to someone who you've decided or it's been taught to you that they're an inferior, and then you're talking to them and you realize, this guy's brilliant, he's making sense, he's calm, he's reasonable, I'm wrong.
02:52:20.000It's pretty sick, because as a regular phone, it's just a chunky regular phone, and it's kind of thin, so you can text with one hand pretty good, especially if you have smaller hands.
02:52:31.000And then when you open it up, I mean, you basically have a small iPad.
02:52:35.000So if you want to watch YouTube videos or some shit, or browse, and it's 5G. There's all these little fake phones showing up on the internet.
02:55:37.000In case it slipped people's memory, in 2015 hackers successfully crept in a potentially dangerous Xcode ghost malware to thousands of iPhone and iPad apps.
02:55:48.000Apple, during that time, has been privy to the details of the attack to add the company on their part, said that they notified hundreds of millions of victims.
02:55:58.000Researchers also estimate that about 4,000 apps are infected.
02:58:06.000Do you remember there was this one app, I don't know if you know about this, it was for single guys, and you would put it on your phone, and if you were out at a club you would give the girl your phone to put her number in, and while she was typing in her number would take pictures of her so you would know what the girl looked like.
02:58:26.000You didn't want to be like, you know, you want to make it look like you're going to remember her, but he would be like, as she's putting it in, she's taking pictures of her face, so you knew exactly.
02:58:32.000For just lazy dudes who are scared to ask for a picture?
02:59:45.000But if you're a guy who's working all day and you really don't have time to go out there and mingle, but you have, like, shared attributes.
02:59:52.000Like, there's something about, you know, your likes and dislikes and the things you're interested in.
03:03:38.000Every X amount of months, you have this insane fucking thing that you do where you get in a cage, you put a mouthpiece on, and you try to knock someone unconscious.
03:12:17.000You're already wearing a wedding ring.
03:12:18.000Yeah, you know, what's funny about that is when I gave her an engagement ring, she said, you've given four other bitches an engagement ring before me, and you never followed through.
