00:00:15.000Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy How long has it been?
00:01:50.000And I try to be diplomatic, because I know it was you, and I was like, you know what it's like?
00:01:56.000It's like when someone has a hand grenade and they pull the pin, and you're like, don't let go of that thing, because that's a live hand grenade.
00:02:55.000He's like, you got to pay for another tour bus, a thing to drag the stage around, a crew of 12. And he's like, and you gotta rent the vent.
00:04:29.000And it was the funnest way to spend a pandemic summer in a bubble, on a bus, and people were, like, I think people admit, not the best comedy show they've ever seen in their life.
00:10:40.000He got into it, and now whenever we tour, the top barbecue in the area, this whole summer, would drop off huge trays for us, because they know Dave's into barbecue.
00:12:03.000We were driving down the road and he was in the shower and I just took all my clothes off and got in with him and started yelling, party shower!
00:12:34.000Did you do any testing at all when you were doing this?
00:12:37.000So this was like when testing wasn't super available.
00:12:40.000So we would test in LA and then all get on the bus and then that remained our bubble the entire tour.
00:12:47.000So we would have zero contact with everyone and then We really stepped it up because the first time we came in and then we all quarantined in the bus for like five days at my new house.
00:13:17.000And it was the best summer, it was the best experience I've ever had, comedy-wise.
00:13:23.000Until Red Rocks, but but it was like it was just awesome was fun and people were appreciative and Then and then couple that with the fact that I'm business partners with one of the most fucking brilliant men in the world Tom Segura And we start doing our live gigs those two bears live.
00:13:38.000Yeah, yeah, and it was like I'd come home I do a live gig with him get blackout drunk tether our dicks together with electrodes shock each other's dicks guys did that Joe So we go to a dominatrix for one of our live gigs, right?
00:18:21.000So there's a certain amount of energy, because there's a lot of people, but there's a certain amount of anxiety that comes with just being overwhelmed by population, by just large numbers.
00:18:49.000When I built that apocalypse truck, that land cruiser that I got, I built it because I was telling my wife, I was like, if some shit goes down, we gotta be able to get the fuck out of here, like legitimately.
00:19:00.000Like I need a big tank of gas and we gotta have money and we gotta have guns.
00:19:06.000And she was like, this is such a ridiculous idea.
00:22:06.000And so the only time they have friendships are these superficial friendships like they have to go to like red carpet events and weird events where there's other celebrities and they interact with those people in these real superficial ways and those are literally like some of their only social interactions with people.
00:22:21.000So they don't have any real moments where they have, like, real friends where they could tell about their failures or their anxieties or their fears or their insecurities.
00:22:31.000Like, shit that you and I can talk about easy.
00:22:39.000And when the shit goes south, like, if there's any kind of a pandemic or anything, the best thing you can have is a good crew of humans that you can count on.
00:22:50.000If you have five people and they all know how to get food and maybe someone's got chickens or someone has a fucking well at their house, you can help each other.
00:23:05.000They're only thinking about themselves.
00:23:07.000When it goes bad, it goes real bad for them.
00:23:09.000And those are the ones that you're seeing on Twitter that are freaking the fuck out all the time and yelling at people about random shit and just shaming people and calling people out.
00:23:53.000Difficulties in their career and trying to get ahead but like real fucking hardcore adversity.
00:23:59.000They've run away from that and they've sought comfort.
00:24:02.000So whenever anything goes south, those people are the first ones to yell.
00:24:06.000They're the first ones to try to find some enemy or try to find some scapegoat or some reason for why they're so scared or someone who's not following the rules or doing what they want you to do and wear two masks and all those motherfuckers.
00:24:26.000Like, right at the beginning of the pandemic, we're walking the dogs, me and the girls, and I just assumed if you're outside, you don't have to wear a mask.
00:26:10.000Well, the Johnson& Johnson booster, when you do get it, within two months they said it's 94% effective against COVID. The problem is variants.
00:26:41.000Because, you know, I look at my daughters, and I know you probably look at your daughters, and my daughters spent junior and freshman year not in school.
00:27:46.000There was a test that they were talking about.
00:27:49.000And I don't know what ever came of this, but it was a saliva-based test that they were going to have where you just lick something and you would get a result within 30 seconds.
00:27:57.000I remember someone telling me about this.
00:27:58.000I can't remember who told me about this, but it was a person who understands and knows.
00:28:03.000And I don't know if it wasn't effective, I don't know what the reason why we didn't get that, but that would have been the shit.
00:28:08.000Like, so you get on a plane, everybody licks this fucking thing, you find out if you have it, and then everybody who has it, you get sent home, and everybody who doesn't have it gets on the plane.
00:28:20.000We're sitting right next to each other pretending that this little paper thing or a bandana is protecting you from the air that we're all breathing?
00:28:28.000Who the fuck got kicked off a plane where they went into the cockpit and they filmed the pilot and the pilot didn't have a mask on?
00:28:57.000But I was under the impression, and I don't have kids that young anymore, but I was under the impression that there was like an age where you didn't have to wear a mask.
00:33:32.000I'm here every fucking Monday, Tuesday, every fucking...
00:33:35.000Him having kids, him and Christina having kids, is really like a science project.
00:33:39.000Like, what is it like with parents who love fucking with each other and fucking with everybody else and laughing about anything, including people getting badly injured?
00:33:49.000Like, what is it like growing up with them?
00:36:06.000I don't think he was, and I say this, and obviously Tom can say whatever he wants to say, but I don't think he was in his right state of mind.
00:37:51.000If you're listening to this for political reasons and you've never bench pressed, then you need to know that two plates, clink clink, is a man's bench.
00:38:13.000Ari got under, got pinned worse than any of us.
00:38:16.000Tom got it off his chest and was trembling, but Tom lifts weights, but he had a hard time.
00:38:21.000And then you go in and you throw up a pro football combine record of like 15, 17, 18. I remember telling someone that and they're like, Joe Rogan punches 220. I go, Joe Rogan works out for...
00:38:32.000I remember all of us are like, all right, Joe, come on, let's go to dinner, man.
00:43:48.000See, that's what I find really fascinating is when I see people, like you said, shitting on people online, trolling people, and talking shit, waiting for them to slip up to fuck with them.
00:43:59.000I go, don't you have anyone in your life that you're not like, But you love, like, David Goggins, Cam Haynes, Jocko, fucking Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz, fucking Robbie Lawler, all these dudes, I don't know anything about them.
00:46:01.000You're very, you know, especially being around as early as I got to be on this podcast, to see the growth this podcast has had and the people that you've surrounded yourself with and brought in, it's like really cool to be a part of this community and know that those guys are like,
00:46:16.000like Cam Haines will, I don't know if this is real or not, sometimes I just drink and talk.
00:46:22.000Like, he'll text, DM me or something, you know?
00:51:18.000We were talking about this today, and me and you kind of talked about it a little bit.
00:51:23.000Back in the day when we started this business, there was such cattiness.
00:51:26.000Such like, I'm going to go up in front of that guy, I'm going to blow him off stage.
00:51:30.000And now to sit here and think, you know, people that I met, like guys like Ari have introduced you to like Shane Gillis or Mark Normand and Chris DiStefano, Giannis Pappas, and all these great fucking dudes that are all blowing up huge right now.
00:51:49.000Come on my podcast, on Tom's podcast, your podcast.
00:51:52.000And it's just such a shared experience.
00:52:03.000The business used to be everyone was competing for us a small number of spots Like if you wanted to do young comedian special there was only five comedians or whatever it is You know HBO if you want to get an HBO special like you kind of had to be somebody and You know either you had to be on one of those Rodney specials or you had to be on something else like someone had to Get you into something and Rodney was a giant influence of me because he Found comics that he loved and he boosted them up and he helped them out and I always said I wanted
00:52:33.000to do a Rodney type special with comics that I know that are really funny That aren't getting the love you know and do something like that whether I'd be willing to do that right now Whether it's on Netflix or Amazon or even maybe I'll put it together myself and do it on YouTube but that kind of thing is like I always remember thinking,
00:55:06.000I got on Travel Channel for eight, nine years, whatever it was.
00:55:09.000And then I was doing this podcast with you.
00:55:12.000I would hop on the podcast and I did my podcast and And I started my podcast, and I'd do Joey's and Ari's, but at the same time, I had also failed as a comic.
00:55:23.000You know, like I had kind of let comedy fall into the side.
00:55:27.000You didn't fail, you just weren't paying attention to it.
00:55:30.000You were doing the other stuff, because the other stuff was paying the bills, and you had a family.
00:57:06.000I'm saying this because it's going to sound like you guys are being shitty to me, but you weren't.
00:57:11.000I walked in the back of the comedy store one time and you guys were both talking about it and you said, hey man, I remember I said something and both of you guys were like, hey man, your Travel Channel show sucks.
00:58:48.000And sometimes you can't do anything about being stuck and you just gotta do what you gotta do in the moment and make a plan and bide your time and figure out a way to do what you're truly passionate about.
00:59:37.000They have a sort of a niche that they cater to, and they wanted people to fill that niche.
00:59:43.000And anybody that stepped out of line, and anybody that was controversial, they didn't want anything to do with that.
00:59:49.000And they wanted to restrict you, and they wanted to put you in this box.
00:59:52.000But I knew you as this wild motherfucker that told that Tracy Morgan story.
00:59:56.000I'm like, this is my friend who's this wild motherfucker, and they're turning him into a G movie.
01:00:03.000You know, you're not a G, you're an R. And I'm like, this R is getting wasted on a G. I remember telling them, I said, they were like, what do you want to do with the rest of your, you know, for Travel Channel next?
01:00:15.000And I said, I would love to do, you know, what Anthony Bourdain does.
01:00:38.000What's interesting is that, you know, when I got that award and I got on stage, my daughters were there, and they were like, you know, they give you the award and then they say, you gotta say a list of thank yous.
01:00:50.000And I go through all my thank yous and they're all very heartfelt, sincere.
01:00:54.000Everyone on my team, from top to bottom, UTA and EverLevity, all of them, I love them.
01:00:59.000But I got to a moment where I said, you know, I think I got very fucking lucky and I surrounded myself by comics that were way better than me.
01:02:55.000Their thought was, no, we could be Sex and the City.
01:02:58.000You know, we could be The Single Guy or whatever the fuck it was.
01:03:01.000There was like these shows that, you know...
01:03:04.000It's crazy what you think your high could be.
01:03:07.000Like, mine would have been like, I mean, honestly, my high would have been be on Travel Channel for the rest of your life, sign a big deal.
01:03:16.000And then I look back and I go, I'm so glad that I got fired.
01:03:21.000And you think, going back to this Paths thing, You think that you're on the right path.
01:03:27.000I was thinking this because, you know, my injury happened because I burned my leg really bad with ice.
01:03:34.000I used to run the same loop, four-mile loop, every morning in Serbia before the movie.
01:03:46.000I fucking pulled something to my calf, put ice on it, got second-degree burns on my leg from the ice because I put it directly on the skin.
01:03:54.000And then because of that, the next day we're in the woods, I do my fall and I hurt my arm because I'm focused on my leg.
01:03:59.000And I start thinking, I literally think I went on the wrong path.
01:04:08.000And then my wife says, I don't know, maybe if you hadn't injured your arm, you wouldn't have done that promo video of you going under anesthesia, calling out Red Rocks for your surgery.
01:04:22.000Maybe you wouldn't have sold the tickets.
01:04:38.000Possibly, and I listen to a lot of your episodes, possibly the most eloquent, well-spoken, interesting human beings I've ever heard on this show.
01:04:47.000And you go, I hate to say this this way, but...
01:04:54.000Did you need your path to get you to be this great person you are today?
01:04:59.000Are these paths that you go through, the bad shit you go through, is that what you need to have to turn you into the person that you're gonna be?
01:05:09.000But it's an incredible challenge, and sometimes incredible challenges break people.
01:05:15.000So it's like, why does it break some people, and why does it turn some people into an Amanda Knox, who's one of the most intelligent people I've ever talked to, and the most empathetic, non-judgmental, even to the guy who was the prosecutor, who was essentially trying to frame her for something she absolutely didn't commit.
01:05:34.000If you look at the evidence, there's no fucking way that guy rationally, if he was given a set of circumstances, if he was given all the evidence that they knew eventually, in the beginning, There's no way he would have thought that Amanda Knox was guilty.
01:05:48.000He decided early on that she was guilty and then was trying to confirm his initial suspicions.
01:05:54.000So he was confirmation bias and he was essentially framing an innocent girl who was 20 years old.
01:06:32.000And all of a sudden, she's in fucking Italy for the first time, and this guy breaks into the house that she was living in when she wasn't there and kills her roommate.
01:06:41.000And they concocted some crazy fake story.
01:06:44.000Meanwhile, this girl does four years in jail.
01:06:46.000The whole thing, the ordeal takes like eight years until she's completely exonerated.
01:06:50.000And then after she's completely exonerated, she's one of the most fascinating, interesting people I've ever talked to because of the ordeal and because she came out of the other side like...
01:07:03.000She's like a fucking samurai sword, where you'd taken that sword and put it in the flames and hammered it over and over and folded it and put it through all this stress, dunked it in water and hammered it.
01:07:16.000She's a fascinating, amazing human being.
01:07:20.000And you know who told me about her is Whitney.
01:07:22.000Oh yeah, she was on Whitney's podcast.
01:09:21.000It's allowed people to see who she really is.
01:09:24.000It's like for a while, Whitney was like Whitney from the sitcom, so she was trapped in this weird sitcom world, and she's this beautiful girl.
01:10:43.000And I was like, so anyway, when you were in college, when I was in college, I was at Florida State, and you came and formed, and he's just like, I don't know where this is going.
01:10:51.000And this girl I was dating was like, ended up hanging up with you, and then they ended up smoking pot with you and Alan Covert, and then I didn't go, and that was me, though.
01:11:04.000Also, you're not in the room with him.
01:11:07.000There's a delay, and Whitney and I have a tape measure, so we're six feet apart because it's COVID, and I'm swinging in like a boom mic, coming in going, hey, Adam, Adam, oh, this is so bad.
01:15:29.000He got him on the bottom with a guillotine, or he mounted him, rather, with a guillotine, and then he got him on the bottom with a triangle.
01:16:40.000And when you realize how good Brian Ortega is, and what he's in right now, he's in a mount, but he's also got his legs crossed underneath, which is like the most ruthless mount.
01:16:48.000Because a regular mount, you're on top of a guy, and the guy can kind of buck.
01:18:00.000Well, I got into a deep dive about him, and I do a thing called Open Tabs, where I keep all the tabs open in my Safari browser, and then I do a podcast about telling you about all the shit I learned over the weekend.
01:18:10.000And I had a big Brian Ortega one, but I took it out because sometimes with cage fighters, maybe what I say isn't what they hear, and I don't want to piss any of them off.
01:20:49.000And one of the things I love about him, He's a long-haired hippie, and he's not like a brute at all, but he's a goddamn assassin when it comes to jiu-jitsu.
01:20:58.000Those are my favorite guys who you would think would be like kind of nerds, but they are.
01:21:09.000Intelligent people that are playing a complicated game.
01:21:12.000They could have been playing chess, but they instead became a jiu-jitsu person.
01:21:16.000They could have been a person who's like a champion video game person, but instead it's the same thing.
01:21:21.000It's like whatever makes you good at golf would also make you good at tennis.
01:21:28.000There's athletic limitations to some things.
01:21:31.000To be a really good runner, you have to be fast.
01:21:34.000There's no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
01:21:36.000But there's certain things that when a person gets really fucking good at something, what that is, I think you can apply to anything with passion.
01:21:58.000When he's on the bottom, which is usually a difficult position to attack from, it's way easier to attack on top because you have gravity on your side.
01:22:06.000So if you're on top of a person and you're smooshing them, you have gravity on your side.
01:22:55.000I'm sure he already knows it too, but what you see from him is all of the fundamentals, the triangle, the rear naked, the arm bar at razor sharp, razor sharp precision.
01:25:41.000When people say that he shouldn't have fought, he was doing really well.
01:25:46.000He was off for six years, and he was doing really well against a world-class, straight-up killer in Robbie Lawler, who used to be the UFC welterweight champion.
01:25:56.000And Robbie Lawler, you could make an argument he's not in his prime, but he's damn close.
01:26:19.000All he has to do is, like, you can't look at him by, like, some of the fights that didn't go so good, because, like, you're a professional athlete in a sport that's brutal on your body.
01:26:29.000But if you look at him, what is he still capable of doing?
01:26:32.000Like, it's not like he's physically incapacitated.
01:26:34.000It's not like he's really slowed down that much.
01:26:36.000It's like, what is he capable of doing?
01:27:14.000If Conor McGregor comes back, if he comes back with a metal leg...
01:27:17.000And fights now, people will still come to see him by the droves, and they'll sing when he comes out, and the Irish support him to the end.
01:27:25.000Dude, when he fought Nate Diaz, I mean, like, Jorge Masvidal, I saw a fight on YouTube videos when I was at a fucking Des Moines funny bone, and I texted Tommy, I was like, you gotta check this kid out.
01:29:38.000It's fucking fascinating when you hear these guys talk about what goes, especially, I think Brandon's, I don't mean this out of disrespect to anyone else, but I think he's a little bit more insightful about the things that maybe I would feel if I walked into the ring, you know?
01:29:53.000Like who he sees and what's happening.
01:29:55.000Well, he's also honest and he can make fun of himself.
01:29:58.000Yeah, it's a little more humble in the sense, and it was so connective.
01:30:20.000That's why all his friends love him so much.
01:30:23.000People don't like him because he's, first of all, whether you judge his comedy or judge his podcast or judge whether, you also have to judge how he looks and he's a beautiful man and it's a real problem for people.
01:30:35.000He's a beautiful man and he's like six foot five.
01:33:34.000But you can see when fighters don't have it anymore when it becomes a job.
01:33:38.000Like Joseph Benavidez just retired and one of the things that he said was that he realized he was not going to get a chance to fight for the world title again and he didn't want MMA to be just a job.
01:33:47.000And it's a brilliant thing to say because it's brutally honest.
01:33:58.000He was very close to being the best in the world.
01:34:00.000He was most certainly number two for quite a long time.
01:34:03.000Maybe even was number one, but he didn't get a shot.
01:34:05.000It was like, you got a window as an athlete.
01:34:10.000To be at your best before the tissue, just the RPMs and the fucking trauma of just, even just regular training, even if you're just not even getting hit, just regular training, just hitting the bag, just fucking doing CrossFit,
01:34:25.000just doing those kind of like kettlebell exercises and plyos and jump and box jumps, your tissue is getting stressed.
01:35:58.000That's the wild thing about that dude.
01:36:00.000Thomas Almeida, that dude he just fucked up, you have to understand who Thomas Almeida is.
01:36:05.000Before Cody Garbrandt knocked out Thomas Almeida, Thomas Almeida was one of the best Like, shots to be a world champion.
01:36:14.000Like, you looked at him when he was coming up, when he was dominating people, when he'd get caught and hurt and still come back and knock guys out.
01:36:23.000Thomas Almeida was, like, he was someone to watch.
01:36:26.000And then Cody Garbrandt put the fucking knuckles to him.
01:36:29.000In an insane way with this sidestep footwork beautiful boxing hit about a perfect place right hand and knocked him out I mean Cody Garbrandt just fucked him up.
01:36:38.000It was wild to see because Garbrandt and Thomas Almeida at that time were both thought to be kind of on that same level like guys who are rising to the title and Thomas Almeida Was fucking dangerous man for Cody to fuck him up that way was really super impressive.
01:36:54.000Yeah, so when you see Sean O'Malley fight Thomas Almeida and just pitch a shutout.
01:37:09.000I could have stopped him at one point in time, and the referee let him go on, and then he literally says to him, like, he puts his hands up, he goes, okay, and then he knocks him out when he's on the ground.
01:37:43.000These guys that just show up with so much confidence.
01:37:46.000How much confidence is walking into the ring, how much success is walking into the ring with that much confidence, that much balls, that much like Nick Diaz on his back giving the birds, or on his back going like, come on, get me, get me.
01:38:36.000I followed him as another guy in open tabs I didn't talk about because I was like, I don't know how these guys received that, but I just fucking watched every video about the guy.
01:38:43.000Do you know fighters got upset by how popular he was getting?
01:38:46.000They were making all these memes where they were putting his hair on a bunch of different fighters.
01:40:11.000But there's a lot of those dudes just, They just dehydrate the shit out of themselves, weaken themselves, and then try to recover as much as possible in 24 hours.
01:40:40.000Think I don't think it was very many weeks out like maybe two weeks or so out he tore his ACL in training and They were gonna pull out of the fight, but he said let me see what I can do with my ACL all fucked up Not making excuses for the dude.
01:43:17.000Yeah, and you see these guys throw punches, and you go, oh, if I knew you were going to throw those punches, I wouldn't mind fighting with you.
01:43:22.000Yeah, but there's also guys who will knock you the fuck out in those stands.
01:43:25.000Well, yeah, but these fucking guys, these guys in the Cowboys jerseys, I didn't see any punch I wouldn't be afraid of.
01:44:46.000The thing about sucker punches, and this is something that people have to realize in any encounter.
01:44:51.000I'm not encouraging trained killers to go out and beat on people in bars.
01:44:56.000But what I'm saying is, the problem with sucker punching, you're gonna see it right here, like Joe just tried to walk by him, he doesn't say anything, and the guy says something and Joe turns around, and he does that.
01:45:07.000Where he bows on him and Joe just hits him with like four punches while he's like falling.
01:45:16.000It's like you can't just bow up on people because the problem with sucker punches is if a guy can punch, and it could be some random person, there's a lot of random people out there.
01:45:27.000They might not be trained strikers, they might not be world champion kickboxers, but they know how to throw a punch.
01:45:33.000It's like a lot of kids know how to throw a baseball.
01:45:35.000If your uncle taught you to throw a punch, you could throw a good right hand.
01:45:39.000If you just sucker punch someone out of nowhere, just throw a punch at them, they don't realize you're punching them until it's too late.
01:45:47.000Because reaction time is way slower than action time.
01:46:00.000You have instincts that people build in that enhance that reaction time, but the reality of a sucker punch is if you're close enough to someone and they say something to you and you don't expect it, there's some rudeness and they throw a punch You can get knocked the fuck out.
01:47:34.000Well, I don't know how much time he had to prepare and why they agreed to do a fight on short notice.
01:47:39.000Because I think it was only like six weeks notice, which I think...
01:47:43.000It's fine if you're Michael Chandler, if you're in peak form right now and you're ready to go and someone gives you six weeks, I bet you can get ready for a fight.
01:47:51.000But if you're a guy who's been off for that long, you're going to need more time, I think.
01:48:40.000If your body hasn't been used to this stuff and you haven't been training as much as you were when you were in your prime, if you still want to do it again, like legitimately, physically, you probably can.
01:48:50.000But it's like, you know, you've run a marathon.
01:48:53.000When you start out and you run a mile and you're dead, and you're like, I can't believe anybody can run 26 of those.
01:48:58.000But if you do it over and over and over again, you build up.
01:49:03.000I don't think Nick Diaz had a chance to build back up after being off for that much time.
01:49:07.000I think you get back to where he was Nick Diaz in his best, he's gotta have some time.
01:49:13.000Those Diaz brothers were great for their fucking pace.
01:49:16.000They could last the whole fucking fight because of their cardio.
01:49:19.000Well, they're always into triathlons and shit.
01:51:17.000If you think that I shouldn't be able to shoot the shit with my friends like I would in private, but let you listen, you don't have to listen.
01:52:24.000Well, the thing is, they're saying that I shouldn't have been saying that I took a drug that they don't think should be taken for a disease.
01:52:35.000If that's earnestly what you were told in the way it was described to you, it would sound ridiculous that some fucking meathead dummy who used to host Fear Factor and he's a cage fighting commentator...
01:52:49.000I was telling people that he took a horse dewormer.
01:53:37.000Okay, June of 2020. It says, scroll, the FDA-approved drug ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.
01:53:46.000What that means is that when they put it in, it was in a laboratory, in a laboratory setting, they showed that this ivermectin, this Medication that they've used for river blindness and all sorts of parasites.
01:54:14.000It says that it was an inhibitor of COVID-19 causative virus in vitro, a single treatment able to affect, I don't know what that squiggly line is, 5,000-fold reduction in virus in 48 hours in cell culture.
01:56:35.000Like, I don't think it does anybody any good to get upset at people for making the wrong decisions at any point during this very confusing time, including the people that, look, there's people that thought everyone had to be on a ventilator.
01:57:13.000It's just like, they learn as this thing goes along.
01:57:16.000They figure out as this thing goes along.
01:57:19.000In the beginning we thought it was on surfaces, then they realized it's not on surfaces.
01:57:22.000But we have to be like really careful in not, like even if you get upset at me and you don't like me and what I stand for, I'm a meathead, I'm a dummy, all those things that I understand.
01:57:35.000You got to separate me from what I said.
01:57:40.000I'm not saying it because it's my idea.
01:57:43.000I'm saying it because some brilliant doctors that have helped treat people told me that.
01:58:55.000I'm just saying it's weird that all the hullabaloo was about a medication that I took that's made for human beings and none of it was about the fact that I got better so quick.
01:59:06.000Yeah, well, dude, I said to my crew, we're going on tour for the Birdie World Tour, starts this week, coming up.
02:00:21.000You know, Michael Yeo was one of the first people that got infected.
02:00:23.000I remember hearing that and going like, because I remember doing a podcast with you and then you did one with him and I was like, wait, this shit's real?
02:00:29.000His doctor straight up said to him that if I put you on the ventilator, you'll die.
02:01:41.000There was a bunch of those back in the 90s, back before the internet was around, there was a bunch of people that had weird, shaky-ass gigs.
02:08:20.000There are a few different theories behind the nickname, but the one I like most has to do with an old-timey treatment.
02:08:27.000Gonorrhea is a bacterial infection that can affect both the men and the women, but the men are more likely to show symptoms like greater frequency of urgency of urination Oh, God, yeah.
02:11:04.000I remember getting the clap, and the doctor just telling me, like, Hey, man, I can just give you the pills or I can give you the test, but you just want the pills.
02:11:44.000Okay, I'll say it the way it's printed because I'm an idiot.
02:11:47.000A virus found in the genetic fragments of several remains in Germany, Kazakhstan, Poland, and Russia were shown to have remnants Of an STI hepatitis B proving to be 4,500 years old.
02:12:02.000So that's for sure back then they had hepatitis.
02:14:45.000When I was young, it was almost like, do you remember when your parents would leave you at home and you just were like, I'm going to jack off 20 times today?
02:15:20.000I met a gay dude when I moved to New York, and he talked to me about being gay, and it was like reading a book I didn't expect to read, and I loved it.
02:15:28.000He was like, yeah, I got fucked out of a loft the other day, and I was like, what?
02:17:44.000Yeah, his production company is called Left Hook Productions, because Roy Jones Jr., a lot of times you wouldn't even lead with a jab.
02:17:50.000You would just lead with a left hook, because his left hook was so lightning fast, and because he threw it so many times, his left bicep is gigantic.
02:18:14.000And I get up, like, my favorite thing, and this is something that, like I said, this podcast has brought to my brain, is the benefits of busting your ass on a treadmill at like 6 in the morning, 5 in the morning, and putting in work after you partied all night,
02:18:29.000and getting, flooding that system, water, and feeling great, right?
02:18:34.000Yeah, you know what else is really good, too?
02:19:09.000I get glutathione every time, and then I get the big vitamin C, two vitamin Bs, 12 and 7 or whatever, and then my other thing is magnesium.
02:19:23.000Vitamin C is huge if you're sick, too.
02:19:25.000What's worse than poor sleep, bad diet, stress, and drinking alcohol drastically deplete your glutathione levels and restrict natural replenishment.
02:19:36.000When there is not enough glutathione available in your blood cells and liver, these toxic chemicals start to build up in your body.
02:19:43.000So it says NAC, which I also take, increases your body's ability to produce glutathione Which is great because I eat that too, bitch!
02:19:56.000I forget how to say it, but we'll tell you in a second.
02:20:00.000Glutathione, which is an antioxidant that can reduce the toxicity causing your painful hangover.
02:20:06.000NAC is also a useful nutrient for liver support and doesn't have any major side effects, making it ideal for combating your hangover without adding nausea or drowsiness.
02:21:19.000And then I heard you guys, I don't know if I'm telling tales and edited it out if I am, but you guys were going on the road with Chappelle, and Chappelle was like, yo, IV up, let's go.
02:21:27.000He was the first guy that introduced me to IVs on the road.
02:21:30.000We've done a few shows together, but one of the first ones we did together was in Tacoma.
02:21:35.000So we did the show in Tacoma, and then he has like IVs everywhere.
02:21:50.000You feel almost immediately slightly more vibrant.
02:21:54.000If you're aware of your body, and if you work out all the time, you have a pretty good sense of how hard you can push it or where it feels at a certain time.
02:22:02.000That's one of the best ways to know if you're sick, right?
02:26:55.000He told me he does an airdyne machine inside a sauna.
02:26:59.000So he gets a sauna, he puts oven mitts on.
02:27:03.000He's doing these wild things where he's taking like 75 pound dumbbells and jumping into the pool and swimming while holding a 75 pound, you know how fucking hard that is?
02:27:18.000Dude, I watched him the first time in a polar plunge.
02:27:21.000Now, I had done them because I thought it was a cool thing.
02:27:44.000And you're looking at him top to bottom in ice and I go, so the human body can do that.
02:27:51.000Yeah, the human body can definitely do it, but you have to be really careful.
02:27:56.000The reason why you have to be careful is because a guy like that, or a guy, you know, like even Wim Hof, like Wim Hof can do, we discovered he can do like an hour and 20 or something like that, something insane.
02:28:10.000A regular person who's not accustomed to those kind of conditions and doesn't know their limit, the problem is you can get to a point of no return where you can really hurt yourself.
02:28:21.000Where you lower your body temperature?
02:28:34.000In 95 degree Texas heat, or whatever the fuck it was, 90 degree Texas heat, and I kept the windows rolled up, and I kept the AC off the whole time, and I was still freezing.
02:29:01.000So we do these Saturday morning trainings where our four families, we call them the campers, we all go and train together, and Lacey's our coach, and she does fun things for the whole family, but more importantly, we do a little bit of sauna, a little bit of polar plunge for all of us.
02:31:18.000Because when the rush of all your blood goes to your core to try to keep your organs alive, and then you get out and it all floods to your body, you feel amazing.
02:34:01.000It's 4 minutes and 27 seconds, so I had a lot of songs that were like 2.30, like some old school ACDC songs that didn't quite make it to like 3 minutes.
02:40:13.000You can say a thing and be slightly uncomfortable and the audience...
02:40:19.000Knows you're slightly uncomfortable or you can say the exact same thing and be loose as a goose and the audience gets it and they're with you and it's with with no hesitation because It's a dance like the and sometimes you step on people's toes and the the set goes weird and your best chance for that not happening My opinion after doing a bunch of specials is four shows because when you do four shows,
02:41:13.000It was like someone who was telling the crowd, like, they said something, they were just trying to prep everybody before the show, and they said something that they might not, it might have not been a good idea.
02:41:24.000They said, like, Try not to yell out too much.
02:42:16.000You had a bit about religion, but what was interesting about your bit about religion, and this, I see Bill Maher's name's written right here, I don't know who you had last year, but what's interesting about it is you had a take on it But it wasn't super disrespectful.
