00:01:39.000I mean, like March of 2020, I remember thinking, like, this could be some Mad Max, like Road Warrior type shit where the streets are empty and...
00:01:49.000And then when they started looting, that was one of the things that really freaked me out, the looting in L.A. When no one was doing anything about it, when they're smashing windows and running into stores and stealing clothes and shit.
00:02:16.000No, I bet you there's a lot of people who are on the left who are rethinking the Second Amendment and their view on it just because of the context that's changed.
00:02:24.000Friends that were very anti-gun were asking me to borrow guns.
00:02:28.000When the shit started hitting the fan in L.A., They were asking to borrow guns and I was like you can't borrow a gun if you shoot someone with the borrowed gun I am in trouble right right and especially in LA because there's weird laws like I don't even think you're allowed to shoot someone in your home unless you're in danger and then you have to prove that you're in danger Yeah,
00:02:47.000then you have to apologize for whatever part of the systematic problem you contributed to why this person broke into your house.
00:05:13.000It's somewhat oddly relaxing to point and shoot, you know, as long as you have earmuffs on, you're protecting your ears and eye goggles, and you know what you're doing, you're following gun safety protocol.
00:06:05.000But the guy, we went to Dick's, because the pandemic was starting, much like you were seeing all these images on screen, and we lived close to each other.
00:08:10.000When I was living in New York and I would do gigs in Long Island, people that, like, worked in the city all the time would treat gigs on Long Island like, you might as well be going to Oklahoma.
00:09:11.000He's like, I go running and he goes, and there's like dog shit everywhere because no one's picking up their dog shit and stacks of garbage.
00:09:18.000And like all the public utilities have kind of laxed.
00:09:21.000So a lot of the garbage pickup is not as good as it used to be.
00:09:24.000And he goes, and it's kind of dangerous.
00:09:26.000It's like, it's not what it used to be just a year and a half ago.
00:09:28.000I was just telling Jamie before, it's like, it's starting to feel like the Brooklyn that I grew up in.
00:09:33.000You're starting to hear crimes that are similar to the ones from the 80s, which were just like, wilding kids.
00:09:39.000I remember there was just like, wilding kids.
00:10:28.000I have a cop who lives close to me where I live, and he was on the plainclothes unit that they kind of disbanded, which was stupid, and now he's doing something else.
00:10:40.000He's like, look, cops, Their morale is down.
00:11:16.000And I don't know how that gets fixed in any short period of time.
00:11:20.000I think that's a long-term recovery project, if at all.
00:11:24.000Like it's real weird because I've never seen such a dip in our society before.
00:11:29.000During this pandemic and some of its understandable, but some of it is like it's a Perception the the perception of the police the perception of society at large.
00:11:38.000It's very different than it's ever been before I think it has a lot to do with us adapting to the internet like And technology.
00:11:48.000It's fairly new, and everyone's getting their information from charismatic people who want to be on camera, where it's like the really smart, nuanced people, like those old school mob bosses who were, you know, you get caught if you're flaunting yourself John Gotti style, but like,
00:12:03.000you know, the people who were behind the scenes, like, Doctors, politicians, like, those are the people who are in it, doing it.
00:12:11.000And, you know, we used to have Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrows, and now we got guys just going up there on the internet, like, with their phone and making these categorical, like, charismatic statements and people that are really, like, kind of, they're simplified and just really,
00:12:29.000like, generalized, and people are just following them.
00:12:32.000And now we've become, like, two full countries...
00:12:36.000It used to be like, you know, at a time of war or something, you kind of, you came together a little bit to support whoever the guy is in office.
00:12:44.000Now it's like, there's people who wouldn't support Biden at all, no matter what.
00:12:47.000I mean, even if, like, China was storming Malibu and, like, you know, set up their captain quarters in Reese Witherspoon's, like, beach home, we'd still be, like, hating each other and, like, we're so disjointed and disunified.
00:13:02.000And I think it's because we're online.
00:13:04.000I think that's a big part of it and I also think what you're saying about people being charismatic is very true that these charismatic influential people that are getting attention from posting outrageous things online constantly posting things about either the left or the right like how pathetic they are and how foolish they are and how arrogant they are and and just making these really polarized teams I don't subscribe
00:14:05.000Their answer can tell you how they feel about abortion, how they feel about immigration, how they feel about whether the election was valid.
00:14:13.000It's just go down the line with one question.
00:14:18.000It's sad, because you should, like you said, I mean, it's like, the Second Amendment is totally different from abortion, totally different from gay marriage, and like, it's sad that you can ask one question, you can predict, and with probably a great deal of accuracy, what those people are going to say based on that one Answer because they've drawn their lines and they're towing this line now and people are so far apart.
00:14:40.000And then you're right, when you speak to them in person and have a long conversation with them, you find out even though they may lean on this side or lean on that side, most people are pretty reasonable.
00:14:48.000You know, they care about their family, they care about their money.
00:14:50.000You know, and politics used to be about that.
00:14:52.000Hey, it's the money, stupid, or whatever that expression was.
00:16:48.000And so they came, they stripped, but the girl, they only stripped for like five minutes, and the girl was saying weird stuff, and then they got mad.
00:16:56.000The guys got mad because they felt like they were getting conned, that they didn't get their...
00:16:59.000Their lap dance worth or whatever, their dancing worth.
00:17:59.000And so these kids were maligned by the media, all these journalists writing this horrible stuff about these kids, the culture of the lacrosse players, the privilege, the white privilege, this, that.
00:18:11.000They did this to this poor black person, you know, and then it was loaded because of Durham, because you got Duke, and Duke is like the Harvard of the South, and then you got poor Durham.
00:18:40.000A few journalists apologized, but by that time, it was like, you know, now you go to comedy clubs, the joke that comics tell the most, if they see five waspy-looking white guys, they're like, hey, you guys look like the Duke lacrosse player, that you use it as a pejorative.
00:18:55.000So it doesn't matter if it's true, because the media made it true.
00:18:58.000So a lot of people don't even know that they did nothing, because the narrative had already been written.
00:19:05.000The problem is once the narrative gets out there, if there's some sort of a correction in the newspaper a couple weeks later, it's always on like the fourth page in the lower right hand corner.
00:19:37.000Because if you can make money off the news, then all of a sudden the news becomes a show.
00:19:42.000And the more outrageous you can get it, the more click-baity you can get it, the more you can sort of jazz up the headlines and distort the story, the more you're going to get people to tune in.
00:20:03.000It was totally like, they tried to build a big studio in Miami and They were trying to target millennials, but by that time, like, everything was on the phone.
00:20:10.000People were watching you, and it was like, it was just a waste of money.
00:20:12.000But I remember one of their slogans was like, start a fight.
00:20:18.000Because my two co-hosts were journalists, and it was run by journalists, and I was like the comedic guy that, you know, they had me in a corner, and they opened it up, and I came in, and I was like, ooh, ah!
00:23:22.000Well, it makes them famous and it makes them wealthy.
00:23:25.000I think there's a shining light to that.
00:23:31.000There's a way out of this, and I think it's Substack.
00:23:35.000A lot of these legitimate journalists are no longer with these papers that are interested in doing that, and they're gravitating towards Substack, and they have people pay for actual journalism.
00:23:47.000And so there's a new wave of legit journalists on Substack that are just people subscribed to it, and they can choose to subscribe or not subscribe.
00:24:23.000You know, like from doing comedy, it's the same thing when you're doing comedy, when you're doing like an open mic or a free show, the audience doesn't respect it.
00:24:31.000They come in, you do those college shows, they yawn, they come in in flip-flops, they suck their teeth at you, you know, they don't care, they didn't pay.
00:25:20.000But comedy is happening on podcasts, on the internet, and Patreon is like the purest, it's probably the purest system, the subscriber model, That comedians and entertainers have ever had.
00:25:35.000It's this same model that Netflix has, same model that HBO has, and it proves that that model probably is better than the other models because HBO, for a while, has been making more money than all the networks combined because of their dumb pilot system where they'd make those pilots and spend all that money and then jettison those shows that didn't work,
00:25:52.000whereas HBO, it's like, hey, We make the shows that we want to make.
00:26:41.000And the way he does his podcast, he does a subscriber-based podcast, but he doesn't ever want anyone to not get the content if they can't afford it.
00:26:50.000So all you have to do is send an email to him saying that you can't afford it, and he'll give you a free subscription.
00:26:57.000And 100% of all those requests are accepted.
00:29:40.000Well, they realize the opposite is dangerous.
00:29:43.000When you have corporate censored information and you're not getting the full unbiased story, you're getting a filtered down story that has been decided upon by a bunch of executives, they would say, well, we're going to leave the...
00:29:55.000You know, it must look like we were talking about with the prosecuting attorney.
00:29:57.000It was going to leave out some information that would make us look bad or make the story look bad.
00:30:02.000Let's steer it in a certain direction.
00:30:04.000We're not going to lie, but we're going to eliminate some stuff that would throw into question.
00:30:24.000And I'm not beholden to, you know, some peacock logo or, you know, you're beholden to probably a few, you know, a few vitamins and a few weights.
00:35:14.000Some people think that anxiety is connected to a lack of rigorous exercise.
00:35:20.000Some people think it's connected to inflammation.
00:35:22.000I mean, there's a lot of thoughts on that.
00:35:24.000And I think the problem with anybody giving anyone a diagnosis is each human being has an individual level of anxiety that's impossible to determine.
00:35:33.000Like, I could weigh you, and I know how much you weigh.
00:38:11.000We've talked about it on the podcast before, but there was a time when Hitler went to visit Mussolini because Mussolini was thinking of pulling Italy out of the war.
00:38:17.000And Hitler, apparently, he was exhausted before this.
00:38:21.000Do we ever resolve who told us that story?
00:38:25.000Someone told us a story, then we researched it.
00:38:52.000The company that made it, I guess, is a fake image of supposed Panzer Chocolat in combination with their trademark.
00:38:59.000It might have been just with this company's lettering, but they said it was not real.
00:39:05.000Allegedly, they would put meth in chocolate, right?
00:39:07.000Yeah, there was something else I just found that had a different name, but then I found what you said.
00:39:12.000It might just be what you were saying, that that word might not be real, but they did put some drug in chocolate.
00:39:18.000Yeah, it says, however, this Panzerschokolade never existed.
00:39:24.000Zadr distances itself with all clarity from this brand and reputation damaging misrepresentation, which establishes a non-existing connection between our company, founded in 1999...
00:39:49.000Yeah, Zotter has been refuting it because they're the company that started in 1999. But a lot of fucking companies started during Nazi Germany, right?
00:41:56.000I was just reading that she regularly takes ADHD medication and they said that she can no longer take it because in Japan you can't take this stuff.
00:42:11.000Because if that is the case, they said that during the last Olympics, I guess 2016, she took this stuff and she won a bunch of gold medals.
00:42:42.000I mean, you could buy panties in a vending machine, but you can't take Ritalin?
00:42:48.000Well, I think they're very sensitive to amphetamines because amphetamines and methamphetamines were the reason why the kamikazes were willing to fucking fly their planes right into boats.
00:42:59.000Fucking gritting their teeth the whole way.
00:43:20.000Simone Biles addresses leaked medical records and ADHD misconceptions.
00:43:24.000U.S. gymnast superstar Simone Biles was in a different kind of spotlight Tuesday after Russian hackers circulated confidential medical reports in the World Anti-Doping Agency database that showed her use of methyl...
00:43:39.000Methylfendate, a stimulant used to treat ADHD. Biles 19 was forced to publicly address her ADHD and her approval of the use of medication after a leak.
00:43:48.000I have ADHD and I've taken medicine for it since I was a kid.
00:43:51.000Please know I believe in a clean sport.
00:45:05.000So this could be a similar kind of scandal where the Russian hackers, freaking Russians, you know, the Russians and the Chinese are just like- They're beating us online, dude.
00:45:32.000I watch it over and over again and just laugh.
00:45:34.000But what's crazy is, Joe Biden was one of the people that made sure that the laws went through that treated people very differently for crack than they did for cocaine.
00:45:44.000I mean, that has been, if you want to talk about, if you want to see clear evidence of racism in prosecutions, it's the difference between how they treat cocaine arrests versus how they treat crack arrests.
00:45:57.000And crack, if you talk to Dr. Carl Hart from fucking Columbia, who's a brilliant guy, he'll tell you that crack is cocaine.
00:46:05.000It's just a cheaper version of it, it's just about the way it's processed and the way it's made, but essentially the psychoactive chemical is the same.
00:46:44.000Once you develop, it's like, once you experience 100% pure grape juice, it's delicious, but if you were raised on grape drink, you love that grape drink.
00:58:26.000With Chris Weidman, you heard the crack, but I didn't know if it was his shin cracking or just a really hard kick that hit the thigh.
00:58:33.000It was hard to tell because, you know, I'm not hearing it completely unfiltered.
00:58:38.000I'm hearing it in my ear and I'm hearing it through a microphone and they're inside that cage and they're, at the time, they're probably like 30 or 40 feet from me.
00:58:46.000So it's hard to say what you're hearing.
00:58:49.000You know you're hearing an impact, but with Chris, the kick was so powerful.
00:58:56.000He threw full blast, like the first kick.
00:58:59.000He just decided he was going to fuck Uriah Hall's leg up with the first kick he threw.
00:59:04.000So first kick he threw, he throws full power, which you rarely do.
01:00:22.000Well, listen, Kamaru Usman, the guy he lost to, Is my opinion if there's George St. Pierre's number one, he's number two.
01:00:29.000And the only reason why you don't know who would win out of the two of them is because they haven't fought.
01:00:34.000But in terms of greatest welterweights of all time, it's tough to fuck with Kamaru Usman.
01:00:39.000He's right up there at the top of the food chain.
01:00:41.000He doesn't have the credentials in terms of the overall volume of impressive victories as a champion because he's only defended he won the title versus Tyron Woodley he beat Colby Covington he beat Gilbert Burns he beat Jorge Masvidal he KO'd Masvidal in the rematch like those are the big fights and they're great impressive fights but George's legacy is so long I mean George was George's legacy is just but George in all fairness I don't
01:01:11.000think he fought the same caliber of competition as Usman has Is that because the athletes evolved?
01:01:21.000George is still one of the all-time greats.
01:01:24.000And George, when he came back and stopped Michael Bisping and choked him unconscious, you've got to say, well, Jesus Christ, George is probably even better than he was when he was the champion.
01:03:19.000They're accustomed to getting beaten up.
01:03:21.000They develop these really weird veins all over their legs.
01:03:25.000Like Kevin Randleman, who was one of the all-time greats, former UFC heavyweight champion, he fought Pedro Hizzo.
01:03:32.000And Pedro Hizzo is, in my opinion, probably the hardest leg kicker that ever existed in MMA. He's this big, giant, Brazilian heavyweight, fantastic kicker.
01:04:32.000I was at Beverly Hills Jiu-Jitsu once in the early 1990s, and Pedro was working out, and he was kicking this heavy bag, and everybody was just like, what?
01:04:41.000He was just stepping up, and he was a big guy, you know, 250 pounds, just stepping in.
01:04:48.000And you would just imagine what that would be like on your leg.
01:04:55.000And he, you know, the UFC gave him a giant contract at one point in time because they were convinced that Pedro was going to be the heavyweight champion of the world.
01:07:11.000Like, when it goes to the ground, like, you're starting to hear, I think, less boos.
01:07:15.000Because I think the watcher is getting more educated.
01:07:18.000The viewer is getting more educated on, like, how much...
01:07:22.000Tactical skill is going into what's going on, whereas before it was just like people love seeing strikes, but now my question is that, do you think that that'll be as exciting as the striking in MMA as the viewer gets more educated?
01:08:06.000Because it makes more sense to people that don't fight.
01:08:08.000Like, if you look at the audience, if you go to the T-Mobile arena and there's, you know, what does a T-Mobile see, like 18,000, 20,000 people?
01:08:45.000I think you have to kind of appreciate what a guy's doing or a girl's doing in order to be able to really enjoy a submission the way you enjoy a strike, a knockout.
01:11:09.000That anticipation of the choke is exciting.
01:11:12.000Yeah, when a guy gets out that's really exciting like when a guy somehow gets out when like the hooks are in and what one-arms in but somehow a guy gets out that's exciting too.
01:11:22.000That thing he did to Conor was so nasty too because he wasn't even under the chin.
01:11:27.000It's called a fulcrum choke Dean Lister explained it he after the fight was over he did a thing on his Instagram page where he explained the technique and And it's not a move that I've ever used.
01:11:39.000It's like in that position, I've always gone to like, there's a move where you pull the neck this way and you pull the body that way.
01:11:49.000Like you do what's called a gable grip on the neck and you're pulling the neck this way.
01:11:55.000And then with your lower legs, you're pulling the body another way.
01:14:38.000Like when you go, this guy might be dead.
01:14:41.000Like he moves his, he's got like a rear naked choke, but instead of going like rear naked choke where he's sinking in like this, he basically flattens the guy out on his back and then he pulls his neck forward like this.
01:23:06.000They're in a different world right now.
01:23:08.000There's so many assassins from that part of the world that are coming over to either 1FC or the UFC. I mean, the UFC has so many guys from Dagestan that are just dominating.
01:25:20.000So they take each other down on the hardwood floor, and they get each other in arm bars, and if you tap, then they switch to a choke, and then you tap.
01:29:49.000See, now, why are we not hearing this?
01:29:52.000Why am I getting this only from Chris Bell, who, by the way, made an incredible documentary, Bigger, Stronger, Faster, which is a documentary on steroids, and then another documentary, Prescription Thugs, which is about prescription medication.
01:31:48.000She's the one in 96 who her ankle was done, she limped in, and then she needed a certain score for them to win gold, and then they won gold.
01:33:56.000And they're like pushed and abused with their bodies.
01:34:00.000And so Carrie Strong, the documentary portrays that moment, the Athlete A documentary portrays that moment as like an abusive moment because her ankle was hurt.
01:34:11.000You know, and then she came down on the ankle and she was really hurt, but then like you can see the coach, the Carolis, they were like making her go back out there for that next, for the, what is it, the vault or whatever it's called.
01:34:37.000So the documentary portrays it as abusive, but when we interviewed Kerri Strunk, she kind of portrayed it as like she had to reach down deep and do it.
01:38:31.000I might have, I don't remember it, but yeah, I mean, everything has consequences, man.
01:38:35.000You know, people do things for the short-term advantage for them, but then, you know, long-term, they're going like, how come people aren't taking the vaccine?
01:38:42.000It's like, dude, you were saying the vaccine was dangerous fucking...
01:40:06.000That's the gross thing about cops in general, is that cops are trying to get, like a lot of cops, We'll talk about this, and I don't think it's supposed to be legal, but they have mandates.
01:40:17.000You have a quota of so many people you're supposed to arrest.
01:40:22.000And I always said, what if nobody did any crime for six months?
01:40:30.000Would they say, hey, good job, everybody?
01:40:32.000Would they be treated like firefighters?
01:40:33.000Because firefighters, they take these fucking long 24-hour shifts, they hang out in the fire department, they lift weights, they cook, they hang out.
01:40:42.000They're good cooks, too, which is funny.
01:41:04.000No, I remember that was like a big problem in Ferguson is that they were like harassing those residents to fill quotas, you know, jaywalking and bullshit.
01:41:14.000That if you did that in a white neighborhood, they'd be like, do you know how my father, like they wouldn't go for it.
01:41:18.000Cops in a lot of places are glorified revenue collectors because they're trying to get money for speeding.
01:41:23.000They're trying to get money for all these different things.
01:41:25.000It's not just as simple as you're trying to stop crime.
01:42:03.000Yeah, the street sweeping scam, where they just push around dust, they make you double park on another side, and then the street sweeper comes by and you just push his leaves around.
01:42:12.000And you gotta wake up early enough to move your car.
01:43:30.000They want you to cook it to 165, although they've kind of backed that down with domestic pork because they really don't have an opportunity to get trichinosis.
01:43:37.000They're not out in the wild, but wild pork, you definitely want to get it a little higher.
01:45:06.000You cook it at 125 degrees for 12, 13 hours, maybe more.
01:45:12.000And then all that stuff breaks down and becomes incredibly tender.
01:45:16.000Then when you take it out, you sear it on the outside.
01:45:18.000You take a cast iron frying pan and you put some lard in there or some tallow, some beef tallow.
01:45:27.000Sear it on there and then you cut it off and slice it and oh my god So tender and delicious because it's just been sitting at that temperature that perfect temperature where it's cooking It doesn't overcook because it doesn't it can't get any warmer, right?
01:45:42.000Like if you cook something on a grill you're cooking it at 265 degrees you eat a 265 degrees piece of meat It's done.
01:45:50.000That's shoe leather So at 265, you want to have a thermometer in that bitch to make sure it gets to like 120, then you pull it, and then you sear it on the outside.
01:47:13.000But it's also, you have to have the predators, otherwise the prey animals would overrun the earth if nothing's eating them.
01:47:20.000You have situations like New Zealand, where they have to fly over these herds of invasive species animals that they reintroduced to this country.
01:47:28.000They introduced a bunch of stags and all these different animals, and occasionally they get so overpopulated, they have to fly over and gun them down from helicopters.
01:47:41.000I got a video I'll show you of this mountain lion trying to chase down, I think it was a, I think it's a wild sheep, and catches it, and as it's catching it, it goes over the side of a cliff with this fucking thing.
01:49:51.000Ever seen their mouth when they open their mouth up and it's just dripping slime like that venom in that cartoon, that Marvel Comics guy, Venom?
01:50:37.000Then they'll bite, and then just follow you around until you start to get paralyzed from their poison, and then they just start eating you alive.
01:50:49.000Sharon Stone's boyfriend got bit on the foot by a Komodo dragon once at the zoo.
01:50:54.000What was he doing that close to a Komodo dragon?
01:50:56.000Not only was he close to a Komodo dragon, but he had his shoes off.
01:51:00.000I forget what happened, but I think the Komodo dragon thought that his sock, like his white sock, was a rabbit or something like that and bit his foot and fucked him up.
01:53:57.000All of them get eaten and killed by predators, and it's a slow, horrible, painful death.
01:54:02.000He goes, when people raise cows, especially if people raise cows humanely, he goes, those cows live a wonderful life and they have one bad day.
01:54:09.000I don't want to focus on this, but right here, he's eating a boar.
01:54:12.000It looks like he's sniffing out a particular part and then starts going after the incident.
01:54:55.000We're so lucky that people before us figured out houses and spears and guns and weapons.
01:55:00.000You know, they say that the reason why little kids are scared of monsters and not child molesters or bullets or car accidents, little kids are scared of monsters because there's like a deep primate response To cats.
01:55:14.000We're afraid of big cats at night because that's what killed our ancestors.
01:56:56.000If that was your friend, Like, if you went on a guy's podcast, and you were saying something like that, and you saw him try to kill the bit, you'd be like, what?
01:57:02.000Like, if you and Joe List are sitting there, and Joe List starts to kill your bit, you'd be like, Joe, what the fuck are you doing?
01:58:45.000You want to deal with fucking just wild people that want to do drugs and stay up all night and they show up the next day and they forget their jokes.
01:59:33.000Part of the whole project about moving to Austin, I had this plan.
01:59:36.000And one big part of the plan It's not just get, you know, a podcast studio established, get everything going, help all the other comics out and try to boost everybody's signal.
01:59:48.000The big plan is to have, like, a fantastic comedy club, which only exists for comedy.
01:59:58.000I'm not trying to make any money with this comedy club.
02:00:00.000I want it to be the best place for comics to perform, where you make great money, where you have a great time, everybody takes care of you from top to bottom, and there's no worry about cutting corners or pinching pennies.
02:01:09.000When you go through steps of progress and steps of financial success and popularity success, it comes to a point in time where you go into this rarefied air where everybody starts to play it safe.
02:06:26.000And the more you pay attention to outside of what you do, like how other people are viewing what you do, and what you should do or shouldn't do to get this amount of money or that thing, or this new advertiser doesn't like you saying cunt, like ugh!
02:07:10.000And the beautiful thing about the podcast world is that everybody supports everybody.
02:07:14.000And the people that don't, these weird island people, meaning these people that live in an island separate from the community of comedy, they only want it to be about themselves.
02:07:24.000The only relationships they have with comics are these comics that open for them, that are always below them.
02:07:29.000They don't have, like, intimate relationships with people that are their peers.
02:07:36.000Yeah, but it's crazy because you're, it's like the dream.
02:07:40.000It's like, why wouldn't, would you rather an industry person or a booker tell you you're great, or would you rather another comic be like, you're great, let me help you.
02:08:03.000But some guys, there's still competition, right?
02:08:05.000They look at other guys who are doing podcasts, like they'll look at the iTunes ratings, and maybe they'll be number blah, blah, blah, and someone's one above them.
02:08:13.000And they're like, fuck, how's he there?
02:09:05.000He used to call those shows the shit sandwich because they were sandwiched in between these great shows.
02:09:10.000And I remember we were all sitting around and everybody was going, God, why can't we be on Thursday night after Friends?
02:09:16.000And they were complaining about this stuff, and I go, hey, guys, last time I checked, we're on TV. I go, we're on TV. We have a fucking TV show.
02:10:17.000When your seats are sold, it's easy to do that.
02:10:21.000But when you're trying to climb, you do end up looking at other places as markers for success, and then you become aware that you're not there.
02:10:29.000You do, but I think that focus on other stuff, it takes away from the focus that you have on doing the best job.
02:10:59.000But the thing that does stand out that I could say definitely is when everybody else was doing one a week or one every two weeks, I was doing three a week or four a week.
02:11:46.000There's a funny fucking clip where Segura was talking about it on the Comedy Store documentary where he was saying in the beginning, I was like, what the fuck is he doing?
02:11:57.000Like, you have a TV show in here, you're fucking alone in your house in some weird room with us smoking pot and talking shit into some weird internet show.
02:13:03.000We did constant ads for them, and every one of them would be like these long, rambling discussions of nutting into these weird rubber tubes.
02:16:10.000Successful, now I'm not saying that every woman who got divorced from her husband and made a shit ton of money is a gold digger, but literally most millionaires and billionaires that are females are from divorce.
02:17:15.000There's a shitload of women that have made millions, if not billions of dollars on their own.
02:17:18.000But I think if you looked at the bulk, I just picture you coming home with your Spotify deal, just like hide it from your wife for as long as you can.
02:18:04.000You know, you see it, you're like, well, maybe the thrill was gone, their relationship, and they had kids together, and they had a long relationship, and then all of a sudden he meets this fucking firecracker of a woman.
02:18:28.000Like I've said this before, but an attractive woman with an unattractive man who's never experienced the love of an attractive woman, they have...
02:22:07.000You know, a good bill at a restaurant is a couple hundred bucks.
02:22:09.000But if you can go to a restaurant and not think about it, and give a nice tip and feel good, that's not that hard if you live in your means and you're successful.
02:22:27.000I mean, I joke around, but I agree with you.
02:22:28.000I think money's great, but I do think in this country, it's kind of a disease where people think about it too much, where it's like, the real, like when I almost thought I was gonna die when I got shot that one time, I was like, you think about the people you love, you think about your life, it's like,
02:23:16.000Dude, when I have like a cookout at my house and have people over that I love and we're having a glass of wine and laughing and hanging out by the pool and just putting your feet up and just telling stories and just laughing, it doesn't get any better.
02:23:31.000Friendship and love and family is everything.
02:23:34.000If you don't have that, that's why I was talking about these comics that are islands, that all want it to be all about them.
02:23:41.000I know exactly what you're talking about.
02:23:42.000Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
02:23:43.000There's these guys, they never develop these tight bonds with other people where they can be vulnerable, they could be friendly and supportive and have real love between other comics and other peers.
02:23:57.000They're sad, fucking angry, bitter, twisted people.
02:24:02.000I think also they don't want to push themselves out of their comfort zone and be insecure, be around somebody who's bigger, be around somebody who's more successful.
02:24:11.000You have to be humble and you have to challenge yourself to be around new experiences and new people.
02:24:17.000You have to be open to looking at these other individuals as what they are and not comparing them to you You know when you work with someone like when I work with Chappelle for instance Chappelle has this new bit that he's doing about the Me Too movement that is so goddamn good That it's it's like it's one of those movements.
02:24:36.000It's one of those bits rather where you There's an instinct to get jealous like why didn't I think of that one?
02:24:44.000I felt that way about your hyena bit, because I love hyenas.
02:28:35.000You've got to avoid that one, the self-indulgent one, because you want to pat yourself on the back and you want to look at all the things, but you can't.
02:30:09.000You have to figure out a way to pass your genes.
02:30:16.000The body has figured out a way to enforce that is a little bit of a trap, and that's the ego.
02:30:23.000Part of the thing is you feeling so good about yourself that you think you should be passed on, that you think your genes should keep going, that you should be the one that gets the girl.
02:31:29.000Everyone's claiming to have ownership of what things are.
02:31:34.000I can't believe more people aren't more skeptical of people who want to be out there.
02:31:41.000I think they're being more skeptical of it now than ever because I think overall we've never really had anything like social media before where you get to see people virtue signal and get to see people put out these words and these messages designed to get people to like them,
02:31:58.000designed to get people to literally hit that like button or hit that retweet button.
02:36:41.000Well, in Finland, they did a study where they linked it to a 40% decrease in all-cause mortality, 175 degrees for 20 minutes four times a week, 40% decrease in strokes, cancer,
02:37:59.000You can only do it for 25 minutes or whatever it is.
02:38:01.000And in doing that, the heat shock proteins that your body produces create all these anti-inflammatory properties, but also it just kills things.
02:38:10.000Right, right, right, because of the heat, because of the level of the heat, right?
02:38:12.000You're fucking sweating like crazy in there.
02:38:14.000And probably ice baths do the same thing because of the temperature, right?
02:39:11.000The paper reviews the evidence for using heat to treat and prevent viral infections and discuss potential cellular, physiological, and psychological mechanisms of action.
02:39:22.000In the initial phase of infection, heat is applied to the upper airwaves and it can support the immune system's first line of defense by supporting mycomuco, I guess that's mucus, muco, M-U-C-O, mucociliary clearance and inhibiting or deactivating They
02:43:03.000I remember reading somewhere that Northern Europeans struggle more with alcohol and don't have as...
02:43:09.000We're not as good a tolerance as Southern Europeans because Southern Europeans have had alcohol for a lot longer, similar to the Asians who don't do great with it either, Native Americans.
02:43:19.000There's some enzyme or some shit that like Southern Europeans have and that's why we have less of an incidence of alcoholism Than the Northern Europeans who can't handle their liquor because they're fucking animals.
02:43:31.000I would think that it's also because of the depression that comes from the lack of sunshine.
02:44:14.000Geraldo Rivera interviewing a general while the general was standing in front of, like, literally, you're looking at troops guarding poppy fields.
02:46:17.000No, and it's killing, like, suburban kids.
02:46:20.000Like, I have my wife's friend was, like, this nice kid, and, like, he died from a heroin overdose.
02:46:25.000And, like, the people who are dying from heroin overdoses now don't look like your stereotypical...
02:46:31.000Heroin user from like the 80s, you know, they look like just normal kids and they're in high school and they come from good families and for some reason they're doing fucking heroin.
02:48:51.000But when you talk about his perspective, his perspective is he was a clinical researcher and had this idea of drugs, that drugs are terrible, terrible for you.
02:49:02.000But along the line, doing his research, you realize that the propaganda about what drugs are is very different than the actual drugs themselves.
02:51:04.000Furthermore, during this past year, they have dismissed 1,423 pending cases considered eligible by COVID policies, quashed 1,415 warrants for aforementioned offenses, pushed Governor Hogan to reduce the prison population,
02:51:20.000resulting in two executive orders of the early release of 2,000 people.
02:51:28.000Violent crime down 20%, property crime down 36% during the same period of March 13, 2020 to March 13, 2021. That's amazing.
02:51:38.000Well, that's good, except I'm down with all those things except for shitting in the street and breaking into people's houses.
02:51:44.000The data show that 911 calls about drug use, public intoxication, and sex work, a proxy for public concern, did not increase when following the policy.
02:51:55.000Rather, from March until December 2020, there was a 33% reduction in calls.
02:52:01.000Mentioning drugs, and a 50% reduction in calls mentioning sex work.
02:52:05.000Who's calling and ratting on people getting laid?
02:52:15.000Yeah, I know it was a really good show, and I know a lot of people, Bourdain always raved about it.
02:52:19.000I just never got around to watching it.
02:52:20.000What he was mentioning was, yeah, the police in an episode decide, all right, this is how we're going to handle drugs, and they district They like de facto district, like a block where they allow it to happen and it works.
02:52:34.000So they go like, okay, you can do that here.
02:52:37.000So they controlled it and like you couldn't do it outside of the de facto district that the cops created.
02:52:44.000And then it just like crime went down, things were, because they were like, we're not going to stop this.
02:53:38.000NYPD officers are told to no longer arrest people who appear to be loitering for prostitution in response to repeal of New York State's walking while trans law.
02:53:47.000Does that mean you're walking while you're transsexual?
02:54:48.000And they only...look, if you can get a guy to pay you a thousand bucks or two thousand bucks every time you have sex, which is a lot of money, And you only have to do it a couple times a week.
02:55:18.000I mean, that's why I think ultimately beautiful women are still around because it's evolutionary theory.
02:55:24.000If you think about it, smart chicks who are not that good looking, if there's a war or a famine, you can't do anything with like a sociology thesis, but you can sell pussy.
02:55:50.000So maybe that's why pretty women still are preferred by the male...
02:55:55.000I'm just talking as a scientist, which I am.
02:55:57.000Well, think about how much horrible shit went down in Russia while Stalin was there and during World War II. And think about how many hot women come from Russia.
02:57:55.000And creativity is so important for a culture to innovate.
02:58:00.000One of the things about America is America is arguably the freest country in the world, but also arguably the most influential worldwide in terms of culture.
02:58:45.000Yeah, like an oppressed minority and enslaved population here in America, in the West, in the New World, influenced the entire world.
02:58:55.000It's also wild if you think about how many of the most influential artists that are African Americans came out of oppressive environments, came out of bad neighborhoods, came out of gang-infested neighborhoods, almost all of the best hip-hop.
03:00:21.000I feel like in this era of being a celebrity online and creating your own thing, I think he's doing better than the other son who looks like Tom Hanks.
03:00:32.000Cause this kid doesn't look like either, he doesn't look like Rita Wilson.
03:00:48.000Exactly, cause his fucking mother is Madonna, they took DNA from Madonna, they mixed it with the Bee Gees kids, all three of them, and they fucking made that kid.
03:01:42.000Her dad gets to control what she spends money on.
03:01:46.000I would do the same thing if I was her dad and I watched my daughter cheat on Justin Timberlake to marry Kevin Federline.
03:01:55.000I'd lock that pussy up too and say, girl, you're making bad decisions and you're not capable of thinking on your own.
03:02:03.000But why can't a grown adult just be crazy?
03:02:07.000What if someone came along and said to Cat Williams, hey, you're just fighting 17-year-olds and you're doing coke and screaming at the audience.
03:02:45.000But the thing with Britney Spears is that she's a girl, she's a woman, and we're saying she's crazy, she can't handle things, so let her dad take care of things.
03:06:22.000There's some people who are just born with like an unnatural talent that only leads to one place, CIA. Dude, we're three hours in, believe it or not.
03:06:57.000It's on YouTube and all the podcast apps and the new sports podcast with Olivia is called Unleashed and you can find that wherever you listen to podcasts too, but long days.
