In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the guys talk about the best and worst things they like to eat, and why they like them the way they do. They also talk about their favorite foods and conspiracy theories about the origin of American food, and what they would like to see in the future of food in the United States. Joe also talks about a conspiracy theory he's been working on for a long time, about why Italian food isn't as good as it used to be and why it's so much better than what we grew up eating in America. And, of course, they talk about what they like and don't like about American food and what it's like to grow up eating Italian food and how it's better than anything else in the U.S. and why you should be eating pasta in Italy.

00:01:38.000So like smoked sausages and stuff like that, like those jalapeno cheddar sausages they have at Terry Black's, that like originally started out German food.
00:03:38.000It's like we think of our food over here is like what immigrants would eat and they would make everything very filling and a lot of pasta and a lot of breading in the meatballs and lasagna and all that stuff.
00:03:52.000You don't really find that that much in Italy.
00:07:05.000The lamb thing is different than the veal thing, though.
00:07:08.000Because the veal thing is actually a process where they give a baby cow anemia.
00:07:13.000The way they used to do it, it's really horrific.
00:07:16.000They used to tie them up, and they would feed them like, some of them were milk-fed, they would call it milk-fed veal, but I don't know if that's how they did it.
00:07:28.000I don't know what they fed them, but whatever they fed them, they kept them in the dark, they kept them motionless, so that they have no muscle.
00:07:36.000It's a very small amount of meat that's on it, in comparison to a cow, obviously, but that meat is just soft as butter.
00:08:22.000And apparently, according to my friend Steve Rinella, who's an expert in this because he actually has trichinosis, he said that 90% of all the cases in trichinosis in this country come from people eating black bear.
00:08:35.000How many people are eating black bear?
00:08:43.000They eat it a lot in places where it's traditional to hunt there, like Montana, even in New Jersey.
00:08:49.000New Jersey finally is reinstituting the bear hunt, because the governor, one of the things he ran on was stopping the bear hunt, but then human bear encounters rose by over 200%.
00:09:01.000There was a lot of human bear encounters with aggressive bears.
00:09:05.000And so they said, oh, you really do need to manage these populations because they just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
00:09:10.000And it only takes a couple of years for a bear to get big enough to fuck you up.
00:09:50.000So Far Rockaway, it's like a very nice neighborhood, a very suburban neighborhood, and there's these bears that look like they're easy 300 plus pounds, and they're going to war, knocking over trash cans, fighting the street, cars are pulled over and stopped, and they're fighting over which bear gets to raid the garbage.
00:14:19.000My dog's not dealing with any harshness.
00:14:20.000Well, I mean, you know, but if you turned your dog, if you turned Marshall into a working dog, like if it was bred to be a worker, it's ready.
00:17:59.000Well, that's what that bloodhound's doing when it's running.
00:18:01.000Because they're running and their ears are flopping and all the lips are, all that shit is moving around and it's sending that smell to this super powerful nose.
00:18:11.000Well, the way they smell stuff is kind of the way, it's similar in like the ability to detect it.
00:24:34.000I think it made me think at least like...
00:24:37.000Damn, I want to step it up for the next one.
00:24:39.000Maybe have it be about a theme or at least make the production look as good as he did.
00:24:45.000I just had him on my podcast and he was telling me about how he really put a lot of money and effort into the set and even the lighting around the theater.
00:26:05.000It also did that thing, I think, that comedy does best, where it brought everyone together By exposing all these kind of strange things that we consider strange now in the modern world and saying like, hey man, you have that too in your religion.
00:26:22.000And so it made you think of the stuff that was similar to those weird things in your religion.
00:27:21.000That's why those patterns exist in cults.
00:27:24.000Those patterns exist in religions and in government.
00:27:28.000It's groups of people that have extraordinary power, and they get to a position, and they control people, and they control people with an ideology.
00:27:37.000Whether that ideology is political, or it's a Democratic Party, or whether it's religious, or it's the Catholic Church, or It's the same kind of thing.
00:27:45.000It just happens kind of every time human beings get in a big group of people together.
00:28:51.000And I was talking to him and he just goes, Matteo Lane goes, it made me laugh so hard, he goes, Jesus, what straight guys have to go through just to fucking get laid.
00:30:30.000How long before people are doing it virtually?
00:30:33.000You know, how long before, when they develop haptic feedback suits and fucking Neuralinks and put on VR goggles, people are just gonna just fuck random strangers virtually and it won't even count.
00:30:44.000Yeah, I actually thought about this, right?
00:30:46.000Like, I used to always want a quick death.
00:30:51.000You know, I always used to say, like, dude, I just want a quick death, but then I'm like, I started thinking, like, if I have a quick death, then I'm only going to be able to think of, like, one person and, like, be like, oh, I'm going to miss that person, I love that person, because it's so quick.
00:31:03.000But now I want, like, a long, drawn-out death because of the metaverse.
00:31:06.000Because, like, you could have cancer and be incapacitated, but you could just go in the metaverse and be walking and fucking, and there's got to be some pleasure in living mentally in the metaverse, even though you're dying of, like, some terminal disease.
00:31:34.000I mean, they do that kind of with respirators, and when they use those heart pumps on people when they're having a heart surgery, they take your fucking heart out, and you're still alive.
00:31:42.000And they put a new one in there, and then they reconnect everything, which is fucking...
00:32:23.000You know, it's interesting when people go through something like that, too, because then they become very, very compassionate and very aware that they've been given a new lease on life.
00:32:34.000And then you're also deeply connected to this family of the people, of the person who died and donated their heart, and that's keeping you alive.
00:33:57.000Maybe that's the—if there's simulators or a god or whatever, maybe that's the whole point of this was for humanity to evolve all the way up to get to that point where we can achieve perfection, and then they just pull the plug, and that's how they—because they always win.
00:34:10.000I mean, nature always wins one way or the other.
00:34:38.000The idea that it stops right there is crazy.
00:34:41.000I think we just keep integrating with technology and eventually we become like a god.
00:34:45.000I think whether it's a thousand years from now or a hundred thousand years from now, I think if the human being stays alive, the species stays alive, And nothing happens that resets us back into the fucking Dark Ages again.
00:34:57.000We get to a technological point where we control everything in the universe.
00:35:02.000I think that's what happens to intelligent life when it gets to this ultimate state of technological achievement and control over its environment.
00:35:11.000That's probably what the universe made us for.
00:35:15.000We're like little fucking salmon spry.
00:37:18.000Both satellites would have formed from debris that was ejected when a Mars-sized protoplanet smacked into Earth late in its formation period.
00:37:27.000Yeah, so that's what I was talking about.
00:37:29.000Whereas traditional theory states that the infant moon rapidly swept up any rivals or gravitationally ejected them into interstellar space, the new theory suggests that one body survived parked in a gravitationally stable point.
00:37:59.000And if that happens again, the universe doesn't care.
00:38:02.000We just care because our timeline's so little.
00:38:04.000So we're like frantic and anxious because we have so little time and we realize in the greater scope of everything, it's not that important.
00:38:13.000It's only important to you and it's important to people who love you.
00:38:16.000It might even be important to communities and might be important to civilization.
00:38:20.000If you keep going, that fucking Alpha Centauri doesn't give a fuck if you make it or not.
00:38:25.000It doesn't give a fuck if you're late for work, if you're stuck in traffic.
00:38:29.000It doesn't care if you have a flat tire.
00:38:48.000I always wonder, a guy like John Stamos, him dying is probably going to be harder than me dying because you're just not going to want to stop being John Stamos.
00:39:40.000It's all about the evidence that points to the fact that human beings probably were super advanced Somewhere before 12,000 years ago and we got smacked by comet debris.
00:39:53.000I mean, they even know what the comet is, the torrid comet shower that comes every November and every June, and that torrid meteor storm, whatever it is, the meteor cloud, that exists.
00:40:04.000They know physically we pass through it, and they know there's some big pieces in there.
00:40:09.000And they think that some of them smacked into Earth around 12,800 years ago, and there's, like, evidence in core samples, and there's all this evidence in terms of, like, these buildings that they can't explain.
00:40:18.000Like, where the fuck, who's making this shit?
00:43:43.000You know, I was reading something I wanted to ask about on this podcast because I want to make sure that this is not just like it's one person who wrote this.
00:43:51.000Someone wrote about, you know, they had that hobbit person on the island of Flores, that three foot tall, tiny person that lived on that island of Flores that they found that lived within human time period.
00:44:06.000I think like they found bones that were I think they lived there, what was it, like 16, 17,000 years ago?
00:44:14.000They think they might have had the same sort of thing in Hawaii.
00:44:18.000And they were talking about this legend of this tiny little hairy man that lived on Hawaii.
00:44:23.000Well, if they lived on the island of Flores, and if at one point in time the sea level was way, way, way lower, like during the Ice Age, and people traveled back, like when we think of people traveling across the ocean, we think of the ocean that we have.
00:44:36.000But the ocean during the Ice Age was like 400 meters lower, like crazy distance, right?
00:44:43.000And in some spots, there's giant continents that don't even exist anymore.
00:44:47.000They're just covered over by large swaths of ocean.
00:44:50.000That is something that Graham Hancock goes over in this thing.
00:44:52.000Well, if that was the case and people, little tiny people, figured out how to get over to an island at one point in time, there's a thing called island dwarfism.
00:45:00.000So, like, things that live on islands, they get really small.
00:45:03.000Like little tiny elephants and shit, and tiny humans, and that's what they think.
00:45:07.000Like, in order to preserve resources, these people just got really small.
00:46:37.000Okay, so this mythical clan of Hawaiian people are known as supernatural stoneworkers with a long-standing connection to the west side of the island of Kauai, Hawaii.
00:46:48.000Historically, Hawaiians believe that Menehune, Hawaiian people, to be small humans.
00:46:55.000In fact, there was a clan of people on Kauai and another on...
00:47:04.000Area of the Big Island in the early 1800s that Hawaiians identified with an earlier migration.
00:47:10.000This highly respected R.S. Kukendal Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Hawaii also concluded that the men of Hune were humans.
00:47:25.000But then another guy, ethnologist Bruce Cartwright, sums up the problem with the lack of any evidence of material culture in the Hawaiian Islands indicating a race of pre-Hawaiians and the lack of ancient traditions relating to such a race other than references to the Menahun people has been a puzzle.
00:47:44.000However, in 1851, the British Bishop Museum Bulletin, the Menehune of Polynesia, described as the only survey about Menehune theories, concluded that the Hawaiian people were not real humans.
00:48:01.000This Bulletin claimed the Hawaiian culture was altered under the influence of European contact and thus stone structures whose history had been forgotten were credited to the mythical Menehune.
00:48:13.000But for sure they existed in the island of Flores because they have bones.
00:48:16.000And so what they found out is there's a mythical creature called the Orang Pendek that lives in, is it like Polynesia or something like that?
00:48:34.000But then they found them on the island of Flores.
00:48:37.000They found bones and they found tools.
00:48:40.000So they think these were, in some way, some sort of intelligent human-type creature that lived alongside human beings and lived in this one time period.
00:49:43.000Initially thought to be only 12,000 years ago, however, more extensive stratigraphic and chronological work Has pushed the dating of the most recent evidence of its existence back to 50,000 years ago.
00:49:59.000The Homo floresiensis skeletal material is now dated from 60,000 years to 100,000 years ago.
00:50:08.000Stone tools recovered alongside the skeletal remains were from archaeological horizons ranging from 50,000 years ago to 190,000 years ago.
00:50:17.000So 50,000 years ago for sure there's like anatomically similar humans and those things live along with us.
00:50:44.000And rats will eat the bones and then you get little pieces of bone all over the place.
00:50:48.000And eventually those will probably be eaten by insects and other creatures.
00:50:51.000Over the course of like a hundred years or a thousand years or five thousand years, things almost have to be fossilized or they have to be covered in some mud or some shit where they can dig to them and nothing eats them.
00:51:04.000So like how many of them Existed that you have shit that you're finding from 50,000 years ago, because they found quite a few.
00:51:51.000You're walking through the forest and you know you're with your wife and she's complaining and she's swatting mosquitoes and then all of a sudden you see like you're surrounded by little three feet people.
00:56:10.000Then, like, all those places that are threatened by rising sea level will be able, like, your real estate investment will be secure, like in Miami.
00:56:54.000It would probably have to be nuclear powered.
00:56:57.000Which sounds contradictory, but that would be the way to do it.
00:57:01.000You'd have a very clean source of energy, as long as they make sure all the fail-safes are in place and it doesn't go down, and then you use that energy to process water and take out the salt, and now you have an infinite supply of water because you're connected to an infinite supply of water.
01:00:35.000We have strong opinions and no information, which is a great combination when you're dealing with the fact that people have lost billions and billions of dollars.
01:00:44.000So Jamie's been filling me in on this over the weekend.
01:01:07.000If you're running any kind of currency operation and you're involved in a polyamorous relationship with seven other people, I gotta think you're wacky.
01:02:41.000And then now it's sort of imminently collapsing and tons of people have invested tons of money over there and they don't know what the fuck is going on.
01:02:48.000People are trying to pull their money out by buying NFTs for ridiculous amounts of money in the Bahamas.
01:02:54.000Because apparently people in the Bahamas still have access to the thing, to the exchange.
01:03:03.000Then they would imagine that they're reaching out to the person and buying this NFT that would have yesterday been worth $9 and now it's bought for $10 million to then make a currency exchange.
01:03:17.000So they basically say, look, I'm going to buy your NFT for $10 million, I'm going to give you a million dollars, and then you give me the nine back.
01:03:25.000And so that's how they're exchanging money and trying to just draw it out of this account.
01:04:37.000This has been unfolding in real time on Twitter, which has been an interesting place to be for the last few weeks.
01:04:45.000But this guy apparently during this used a PR... I don't know if this would be a scheme, but a YouTuber was paid to make this piece about him and the way he gives away money, which adds to...
01:05:43.000And he knows who really has that money and who may be laundering Well, who might be just kind of a crazy person who, you know, probably can't believe he's in where he's at.
01:05:54.000When you find stories about him from before, he was like the world's youngest billionaire.
01:05:59.000World richest person under 30, committed billions, the vast majority of his fortune, to tackling the most pressing problems facing the future of humanity.
01:06:19.000Like, I understand where Elon made his money.
01:06:22.000I think, like all things, he's probably not all bad.
01:06:27.000It just didn't work out the way he thought it was going to, and it was for so long, and he probably thought he could get away with doing what he was doing, and he probably also thought he was doing good.
01:06:36.000So if he really is, like, super charitable, He probably also thought that he was way smarter than he was, right?
01:06:43.000Because he's under 30 and he's a billionaire already.
01:06:46.000He probably thinks he's the fucking shit.
01:06:48.000Could you imagine if you were worth 15 billion and you were 28?
01:07:48.000It was sort of curing a lot of the problems we have with centralized currency and the federal government controlling everything and fucking inflation and all this shit.
01:07:56.000There's only a certain amount of those.
01:09:09.000I understand the stock market because you're investing in something that's a thing that's doing something.
01:09:16.000It's a company that's doing something that you can understand.
01:09:19.000But this just sounds like you're using your real money in that it's the money that you can use to buy things now, to buy imaginary money that is supposed to be worth something down the line that's not yet, that everyone's trying to get in on because of that belief.
01:10:05.000He goes to a strip club and he makes it rain invisible Bitcoins on him?
01:10:09.000Tom bought that fun gift for his birthday, but he had to pay it all in cash because he can't do that transaction through credit cards or however the normal way would have been.
01:10:18.000He could have probably paid that guy in Bitcoin if that guy accepted Bitcoin, and it would have been done in seconds instead of weeks.
01:10:26.000So that whole issue with the amount of energy it takes to store them on the blockchain or whatever, is that something that is an impediment to the future of Bitcoin because they say it takes so much space and power?
01:10:39.000Well, that's possible, but wouldn't that make sense that as technology improves, it'd be easier to do that?
01:11:28.000I also, for clarity, though, they were, I believe, this is a, I'm not speaking from a place of knowledge, but I think they were advertising more of a place to exchange as opposed to just the actual, like, Bitcoin, you know.
01:12:26.000The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced charges against Kim Kardashian for touting on social media a crypto asset security offered and sold by Ethereum Max without disclosing the payment she received for the promotion.
01:12:39.000Kardashian agreed to settle the charges, pay 1.26 million in penalties.
01:12:45.000Disgorgement and interest and cooperate with the Commission's ongoing investigation.
01:12:56.000So the man says, the SEC order finds that Kardashian failed to disclose that she was paid $250,000 to publish a post on her Instagram account about Emax tokens, the crypto asset security being offered by Ethereum Max.
01:13:10.000Kardashian's post contained a link to the Ethereum Max website, which provided instructions for potential investors to purchase Emax tokens.
01:13:20.000The only way that those tokens have value is if they're promoted by influencers and celebrities For you to get, like, oh, they're just, by them endorsing them, that's the only way they can have value.
01:13:35.000Otherwise, they don't represent anything that's being done.
01:15:09.000I was up there doing a show and I was like, you know, like the people that were in the audience, the place where you walk through and you get to see it, it was all filled with pictures of curling events.
01:15:20.000So they had a bunch of curling events there while they were doing comedy shows.
01:15:24.000We were just shitting all over curling.
01:15:38.000In that $17 billion round, and I did a zoom with him.
01:15:44.000And after the Zoom, I'm like, this doesn't make much sense, but I'll have my team do some work.
01:15:48.000We did some work, and we sent him a two-page deck, and we said, here are our recommendations for taking the next step.
01:17:09.000Crypto Twitter has alleged that Sam Bankman-Fried was on the run and tried to flee to South America.
01:17:14.000Others believed he tried to flee to Dubai.
01:17:17.000Cointelegraph reported that Bahamian authorities have Bankman Freed and two other executives under supervision.
01:17:23.000Reuters reported that they reached out to SBF to ask him via text if he left the Bahamas, and he said, nope.
01:17:30.000After lying to his followers continually on Twitter about anything pertinent to FTX, it would be very hard to imagine him answering, yes, I'm on the run.
01:17:40.000But anyway, More and more high-level people are sharing their experiences with SBF and looking back for any red flags and what they might have missed.
01:17:49.000Elon Musk took to Twitter to confirm a story about SBF investing $3 billion into Twitter.
01:17:55.000Elon said that SBF set off his BS detector.
01:17:58.000As a guest on the All In podcast, Brian Armstrong also suggested that something was off when he compared Coinbase's revenues to that of FTX, but for whatever reason, SBF had substantially more cash for donations, corporate buyouts, etc., being heralded in the media as the white knight of crypto.
01:18:15.000In his All In podcast, Shamath Palihapitiya also shared his own experience with Bankman Freed.
01:18:21.000But instead of focusing on SBF, Shamath went deeper into the subject and believes there is a systemic issue at hand that needs to be dealt with immediately.
01:18:30.000But before we listen to Shamath, if you're new to the channel or not subscribed, make sure you subscribe as we put out daily content to keep you updated on the current market in news.
01:18:38.000There was an article that appeared that said that the head of compliance at FTX Was also the head of compliance at a poker site called Ultimate Bet, which in the 2010s did this exact thing, apparently, some version of this where they went in and they looked at hole cards of poker players,
01:18:55.000and then a few employees inside the business would basically play against these folks knowing what the hole cards were, ran this cheat, stole millions of dollars.
01:19:05.000Somehow that person found a way to be head of compliance at FTX 10 years later.
01:19:10.000This happens in the public markets a lot as well.
01:19:12.000So like when you see heavily shorted names, or when you know that certain hedge funds are on the brink, other hedge funds will go in and essentially force...
01:19:22.000A margin call and a stopout because then it's what causes all of these runs.
01:19:25.000And if you look actually inside of GameStop, the reason why you got all this gamification in the GameStop equity and a bunch of these other names was in part because of this dynamic.
01:19:34.000Folks that are highly levered, folks that don't have the right matching of risk.
01:19:40.000And what happens is they're solvent but illiquid.
01:19:45.000And then if you run the instrument into the ground, they both become insolvent and illiquid all at the same time.
01:19:53.000To me, it seems the whole issue, if you come back, like what is the first string that you pulled that unraveled the sweater?
01:19:58.000Was the fact that these tokens were created out of thin air.
01:20:54.000That tweet that he had where he basically took the snapshot of the Sequoia transcript was one of the funniest things that I've ever seen.
01:21:01.000I mean, this was a $215 million decision and Sequoia documented it and put it on their own website.
01:21:09.000And I think that's an example of something that was happening, which is people just looked the other way and didn't even want to do the layer of work.
01:21:16.000I just want to say the second uncomfortable thing out loud, which is there was a lot of venture firms in Silicon Valley in this period of both not doing any work or diligence who also took the extra step and actually created classes and would teach teams how to create these tokens.
01:21:34.000And those artifacts, those video links and artifacts are sometimes on their website.
01:22:04.000And if you look inside of that trend, what you're going to see, and Brian just mentioned this, those were the sale of securities except it was done in a completely unregulated way.
01:23:38.000But they sold everyone on the idea that the tokens will be worth more than the real thing.
01:23:44.000When you want someone handling your money, you want some dude who gets up at 5.30 in the morning, reads the Wall Street Journal, and then fucking gets on a treadmill.
01:24:34.000I think it's these kids that just kind of are so tech savvy and they got everyone to believe this thing, especially during the pandemic where it really picked up.
01:24:43.000Yeah, where people were just like sitting around and living in the computer and kind of started to believe everything in the computer was real.
01:24:49.000Now what is this shit about them sending money to Ukraine and the money from Ukraine being invested into FTX? Is that true?
01:24:59.000I think you have to separate this from Bitcoin in some way because this wasn't done because of Bitcoin, like the money in this...
01:25:07.000Right, but it's FTX. It was an exchange in a currency and this was all done behind the scenes, not like on the blockchain, which is what Bitcoin is.
01:25:15.000And what was it exactly that happened?
01:25:19.000That's what he was sort of explaining.
01:25:28.000So this company, FTX, was backed by something separate, which I think Chamath explains in another video and says why these aren't supposed to happen.
01:25:36.000But he was like, well, I guess this is what you guys are doing.
01:25:38.000I think that company, FTX, was the second biggest donor to the Democrat Party.
01:26:50.000April 21st, excuse me, 5th, this says Joe Biden announces his presidential campaign and 13 days later he starts FTX and then gets a bunch of money that no one really can explain.
01:27:19.000I haven't read through that whole article of, like, they said that this money then went to Ukraine in some way and then has now, through some backdoor channels, been put back into some people's hands.
01:27:29.000And that's where it's getting lost in an exchange.
01:29:11.000So amid the jubilation and gloating by Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, and pals over Democrats, better than expected showing in the midterms comes a disturbing story that may explain something about how they won such a curious election.
01:29:22.000Biden's second biggest donor, cryptocurrency billionaire Wunderkind or Kind?
01:29:31.000Sam Bankman Freed, aka SBF, I like that, saw his business file for bankruptcy days after the election but not before pumping $40 million into the Democratic Party to spend on get-out-the-vote and other shadowy ballot-harvesting mechanics for the midterms.
01:30:11.00030-year-old whiz kid, once said to have been worth $16 billion, had spent $10 million in helping get Biden elected in 2020. SBF's mother, Stanford law professor Barbara Fried, also the co-founder of left-wing political action committee Mind the Gap,
01:30:32.000which has raised a reported $140 million to help Democrats win elections through the same get-out-the-vote grift.
01:30:39.000A more unlikely billionaire you could not find, and of course his money was built on thin air.
01:30:45.000A math genius with poor social skills, SBF reportedly lived in a polycule, a polyamorous relationship with multiple people in a luxury penthouse with about 10 coworkers in the tax haven of the Bahamas, where his collapsed crypto exchange,
01:31:07.000It's crazy that a person like that got to where he was.
01:31:11.000I mean, now Reuters is reporting that between $1 billion and $2 billion of customer funds have vanished from FTX, conveniently after the Democrats safely spent his money.
01:32:18.000I mean, I don't mean to say that, but it's like I always questioned it and I knew, so how come they didn't know?
01:32:22.000Maybe if they turned off their greedy fucking hat for one second and asked some fucking questions about what's actually going on, they would have known.
01:32:27.000They'd be like, what actually is this?
01:32:30.000They said, oh, he's offering me $30 million so I can endorse them.
01:32:33.000That'll make people believe in it more and they'll invest in it and then we'll take that money and all your money that you're hoping is going to turn into more money when this thing blows up, we'll take that and fund the fucking Democratic.
01:32:54.000What they did, what he did with the Seagram's daughters, they funneled all the money into his little cult, and with that money, he was able to get the Dalai Lama and a couple other people that gave it legitimacy, and then other people going like, it must be legitimate if this person's in it,
01:33:10.000and they started giving him all the money, and all he was doing was branding women and fucking them.
01:33:15.000What did they think he was doing, though?
01:33:17.000They thought he was doing this self-help thing and empowering women and teaching them how to be more rigorous.
01:34:22.000That is a pretty wild thing to do, though.
01:34:25.000To be living in the house, banging all these people you're working with, raking in billions, funneling some of it to the Democratic Party, doing all this philanthropy work, probably thinking you're a fucking gem of a person.
01:36:18.000You don't exactly know what was going on there.
01:36:20.000In other words, FBF's analytical IQ and social ineptitude made him a prime recruit for the cause of hijacking capitalism to divert money to left-wing causes.
01:36:32.000So the article describes Bankman-Fried's recruitment into the EA cult when he was a young man at MIT as being nerd sniped, which is the practice of attracting brain power by presenting problems as puzzles.
01:39:46.000It could be that the party in power knew what he was doing, took the money, and then waited until after the elections to let the story drop.
01:39:54.000Be like, all right, let's just take the money, because we know it's going to help, and then if we pull off what we're trying to pull off, which is less damage in the midterms, then we'll take them down, And pretend like we didn't know anything about it.
01:42:48.000I think some of this is getting caught up then in conspiracy stuff.
01:42:51.000The conspiracy was that the government was giving money to Ukraine to aid in the war, and that they were taking some of that money and investing it back in FTX. Oh.
01:43:01.000Well, that could be true or not, right?
01:43:57.000There's definitely an inclination for things to be co-opted, things that are undeniably good things, co-opted by evil people with their own selfish needs.
01:45:28.000He was either fired or something happened when he was pointing out all the weirdness involved in the whole Pizzagate thing when that lunatic went into that place and said, you're hiding kids, and he fucking shot up the place.
01:45:39.000And he was trying to do his own research, but he was doing it on television about the story and pointing out the weirdness of the story.
01:45:57.000You know, because it's like, Jesus Christ, are you saying that, like, you're just gonna, like, maybe we should know more before you put this on TV. Yeah.
01:46:04.000Saying that there's, like, a cult of kid fuckers in a basement in a pizzeria.
01:46:17.000I don't know if they were there or not there, but there's a lot of weirdness to the whole Podesta emails and, you know, they were getting into all that.
01:46:42.000And then Michael Badden, the autopsy doctor, does an examination of the corpse and says the neck is broken and consistently, which is consistent with being strangled to death, not with hanging, like the way it's broken.
01:47:48.000So he said the CIA, Mossad, and pedo elite are running some kind of sex trafficking entrapment blackmail ring out of Puerto Rico and Caribbean islands.
01:47:58.000They are going to frame me with a laptop planted by my ex-girlfriend who is a spy.
01:48:40.000Cryptocurrency developer Nikolai Mushgien had been splitting his time between Florida and Puerto Rico before his untimely and suspicious death on October 28th.
01:48:51.000In 2017, at age 24, he purchased a modern two-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the Fort Lauderdale area for a $415,000 record show, raised in Kansas by Russian immigrant parents.
01:49:47.000That is pretty wild that he posted that the CIA and the Mossad and pedo elite are running some kind of sex trafficking entrapment, blackmail ring out of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean islands, and then drowned.
01:50:01.000Sources told the Post Musijian had left his home in the Lux Condado area for a walk a little after 9 a.m.
01:50:12.000A surfer off Ashford Beach, a spot considered so rife with riptides that local hotels worn against ocean swimming discovered his body in the waves.
01:50:22.000He was wearing his clothes and had his wallet on him.
01:50:31.000Many believe his death was no accident, while those in the crypto called him brilliant but paranoid.
01:50:36.000Another person who knew Mishijian very well for years, until they had a falling out two years ago, said the developer was very, very smart, but also suffered from extreme bouts of paranoia.
01:50:48.000He had mental problems, a source said.
01:50:50.000He saw a psychiatrist at times, he smoked a lot of pot, a tremendous amount.
01:50:55.000Some of his paranoia was based on fact, the source added.
01:51:27.000Michelle Jean had been in such a downward spiral in recent weeks that his father had come to stay with him at his condado home, sources said.
01:51:57.000But it's also one of those things, like, if you were a troll and you knew you were going to kill yourself, what a great way to kill yourself.
01:52:20.000Or, he was schizophrenic, and he thought that that was really happening, and he went crazy, and he ran into the water and got fucking taken out by the riptide.
01:54:56.000And then you form camaraderie with other people.
01:54:59.000Yeah, you have this whole social scene.
01:55:01.000And you guys are all in on this dangerous secret.
01:55:04.000But the truth probably lies in between that and, you know, that there's nothing going on.
01:55:11.000Well, I also think that if I was running some sort of an illegal operation, one thing I would do is make it seem ridiculous.
01:55:16.000So I would hire people to go post outrageous stuff online to the point where none of it makes any sense anymore because it all seems so crazy.
01:55:24.000If you believe in that, you believe in lizard people and the earth is flat.
01:57:47.000That's like, no, it's that utopian bullshit.
01:57:50.000When people get into that utopian bullshit, it's always erroneous.
01:57:55.000It's always going to be nefarious because it doesn't exist in reality.
01:58:00.000You're not coming up with a solution in reality.
01:58:03.000You're basing it on ideals and ideals don't exist.
01:58:06.000You're also saying it when you're the World Economic Forum, Davos, where billionaires fly in to decide the fate of the civilization that we currently enjoy.
01:58:43.000They show up at the art gallery and they throw soup on the Van Gogh and they glue their hand to the wall and they think they're going to fix the world.
02:00:56.000But Bjorn essentially was saying the way to save lives is not by everybody quitting oil.
02:01:02.000The way to save lives is to get people out of poverty.
02:01:05.000And the best way to get people out of poverty is to provide them with power and with industry and a bunch of things that's going to raise these people that are dying of tuberculosis and malaria.
02:01:31.000But if we stopped everything in the United States, it's a small percentage of what the world does, and they're not going to stop it.
02:01:36.000What we need to do is figure out how to get to these places that are particularly...
02:01:40.000The most horrible scenarios in terms of like people's chance to live a good life and try to elevate those people and you'll have less pollution.
02:01:51.000You'll have less of this if you have less people that are living in dire poverty.
02:01:55.000They don't give a fuck about burning coal or some of these people are like Burning paper to feed their homes or to warm their homes and to cook their food on.
02:02:05.000And he was saying that living inside these homes where these people do this is like the equivalent of smoking two packs of cigarettes a day for everybody who lives there.
02:04:00.000And in life, like if it takes this much time to pollute the ocean and this much time to ruin the streams and this much time to get all that carbon in the air, we probably should be looking at some long-term solution that includes renewable energy, that includes all these things,
02:04:16.000and then like slowly migrating in a safe way that doesn't fuck us economically.
02:04:45.000Well, they're kind of shooting themselves in the foot.
02:04:48.000There's one thing I don't understand why they keep doing the zero-tolerance COVID lockdowns at the factories because that's just making American companies diversify where their factories are.
02:05:46.000Well, they're fucking up the supply chain.
02:05:48.000The whole world is fucked right now, in that way.
02:05:52.000And that's going to make companies go, like, we're going to move our factory here because they don't have those types of zero tolerance policies.
02:07:49.000Look, they make a lot of shit in America already.
02:07:51.000If we start making most of the stuff that we need, if we can be completely self-sustainable on this continent, if shit goes sideways again, like it did during the lockdowns, Wouldn't cause as much of a hiccup.
02:08:49.000That our education system sucks on purpose because it's good to have a bunch of people that don't know what the fuck is going on because those people are easier to control than people that are well educated and objective and analyze things and they're not as easy to fool.
02:11:31.000Well, this is sort of the thorn in that The idealism of socialism is they're saying like everyone will be equal but what that what the reality is is everyone will be all the same poor because in order to be rich or well-off you have to be a capitalist so that's the truth and that's why socialism doesn't work and that's why if you look case in point in reality they're all fucking poor guess who's not poor the fucking guy in power he's
02:12:01.000never poor In any of the communist countries, you never see those guys walking around with no fucking shoes trying to get a baseball contract.
02:12:08.000They're not, you know, Fidel Castro wasn't like my only hope is to swim on a shoe and get a Yankee deal.
02:12:43.000You know, Joey still has relatives over there in Cuba.
02:12:46.000You know, and Joey's family came over here when he was young.
02:12:49.000I know quite a few people that came from Cuba that talk about what it was like to try to escape, including Yoel Romero, who came on the podcast and Joey translated for him.
02:13:01.000It's never been done in a way that makes me say, hmm, that looks good.
02:13:08.000The equality of outcome is a dangerous situation because it has to be enforced.
02:13:13.000And also, people need motivation to do extreme things.
02:13:19.000If Elon Musk wasn't worth $280 billion a year, or $280 billion period, do you think he'd be willing to work 16 hour days and fucking sleep on the floor of the Tesla plant and at the same time run SpaceX,
02:13:48.000If it's about sending civilization to Mars and creating high-speed internet access through satellite all around the world, and they're relying on Giannis Papas and Joe Rogan, we've got a real fucking problem.
02:14:28.000There's a video, a speech that she gave recently where she talked about how coming from North Korea...
02:14:34.000And what people call inequality in America she thought was amazing because that meant you could work hard and you could get to this place of having wealth and happiness and prosperity if you just did the right thing and worked hard.
02:14:47.000Whereas in North Korea that was absolutely impossible.
02:14:50.000She lived and escaped when she was 13 years old.
02:14:53.000The worst case scenario, a country that's literally starving their people and killing their people if they like kill animals.
02:15:01.000Like if you go and kill a cow and slaughter it, they'll kill you.
02:15:04.000And they do it publicly, let everybody know that you are completely under the control of a government.
02:15:10.000And the way they did it was by telling people they were going to take over their farms, Because that way they were gonna feed everyone.
02:19:19.000And rule of law is what we as Americans I think should always prioritize because that's what keeps the people in control and we should hold them all accountable no matter how powerful they are and we should always elevate the system over any individual and what's been disconcerting to me is watching people start to worship individuals You know,
02:19:39.000that's what we came here to avoid, you know?
02:19:42.000When they start following people, certain politicians, as if they're kings, and no matter what they do, they're beyond reproach.
02:19:53.000And I say this as a jester, whose job it is to make fun of fucking everybody, including myself, all the time, to keep us humble and always...
02:20:02.000Always strive for rule of law because you can't give anyone the benefit of the doubt over rule of law, even if you love them or like them.
02:20:09.000Because once you do that, you're opening it up for the devil to use that same loophole that you created to get someone you thought was bad in order to wreak havoc.
02:21:01.000If, you know, and then he goes, because if I broke the law, you know, and then you're trying to get this guy, and I laid every fucking law flat.
02:21:31.000and when the last law was down and the devil turned round on you where would you hide Roper the laws all being flat?
02:21:38.000this country is planted thick with laws from coast to coast man's laws not God's and if you cut them down and you're just the man to do it do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?
02:24:12.000Well, that's where the Democrats, it's just ridiculous, man, when you bring up the border, and you just go, hey, maybe we shouldn't have illegal aliens, and they just go straight to, hey, no person's illegal, don't say that.
02:24:23.000That's sort of like the, you know, you just shut down the argument by calling someone a boomer, and you're going like, that's not an argument.
02:24:30.000It's not an argument to say no person's illegal.
02:25:00.000You know, one of the things that Greg Abbott said, the governor of Texas, fine state of Texas, he said they have to control the border between Mexico and South America and Central America because that's where they're coming through.
02:27:19.000I think grown-ups know that, you know?
02:27:22.000Well, another thing that we were talking about on the way over here that we should probably talk about before we leave is what's happening in Iran.
02:27:28.000Like, what is going on over there with, I told you there was like 14,000 plus people that they might sentence to death for protesting?
02:29:38.000Wonder what happens if they if I mean imagine this one girl got killed and that's what started this off if they if they really do Execute 14,000 people Iran's parliament voted by a majority 227 out of 290 to execute all protesters Wow,
02:29:56.000the authorities emphasize that the rebels need to be taught the most hard lesson Holy fuck dude It's unclear when the executions will be carried out, but the task will potentially be significant.
02:30:12.000As of Thursday, CNN reports about 14,000 people have been arrested in connection with the recent protests.
02:30:17.000On Tuesday, Carnegie Endowment fellow Kareem Sadjapur said the number was nearing 15,000.
02:30:27.000That's why it's important to have separation of church and state.
02:30:31.000It says, in the last eight weeks, Iran's regime has killed over 300 protesters, imprisoned nearly 15,000, and threatened to execute hundreds more.
02:31:31.000It's hard for people, but you have to realize that's happening somewhere in the world.
02:31:35.000In 2022, while we're enjoying lattes from Starbucks and fucking Netflix, in other parts of the world, you have to dress a specific way or you will be killed.
02:31:46.000That is happening in a modern country with the internet.
02:32:10.000And that, I think, you know, when we talk about what Yomi Park said and what we see what's going on in Iran, that should give everybody perspective.
02:32:17.000It's not to say that we're perfect over here.
02:32:20.000But the burn it all down thing that people want to do, these kids, burn capitalism to the ground.
02:32:26.000Listen, that result will be far more horrendous than anything you could possibly imagine.
02:32:33.000If you just upturned the entire government and the military and everything that's controlling the country, what do you think is going to happen?
02:32:42.000If you take over and have a distribution of wealth and take the money away from all the rich people and give it to all the pool people, who's going to run this?
02:33:04.000Someone's going to take over, folks, and they're going to do it for your own good.
02:33:07.000And you're going to be happy and you're going to own nothing.
02:33:09.000Yeah, the brilliance of America is that they learned all the lessons, the founding fathers in that generation, that American enlightened generation, learned all the lessons of these things that have played out in history before, and we still see it in places of the world that are not as enlightened,
02:34:02.000And in every fucking world event that happens, every big thing that goes on that gets everybody scared, there's a certain part of this world that capitalizes on that.
02:34:12.000And they tighten down control, and they tighten down regulations, and they do things in order to have more power and to profit.
02:35:32.000For sure they were doing it during the Bush administration.
02:35:35.000I mean, when we were all outraged at the Halliburton no-bid contracts to rebuild Iraq, while fucking homeboy, who's the vice president of the United States, was the CEO of Halliburton, he leaves and becomes the vice president, and there's a magical connection!
02:36:59.000Wade gets overturned, it's almost like if I was wanting chaos, that's what I would do.
02:37:05.000I'd be like, listen, if you were smart, you'd go, listen, if we overturn Roe v.
02:37:09.000Wade, if we do this and cause this, you're going to lose a lot of people that are on the fence.
02:37:13.000You're going to lose a lot of people that are fiscally Republican but socially liberal, and what they think is they want more law and order, and they want less restrictions, want less government control of them closing their business.
02:38:39.000But you putting that on somebody else, and look, I understand it's a murky issue of when, and yeah, when it gets late.
02:38:45.000It's weird, and a lot of countries have taken that into account, and they say you can only do first term.
02:38:51.000But if you really want to talk about God and the reason that you're pro-life is for God, then before around 1920, you know, circa 1920, before medical technology advanced and, you know, you know, 20, something like 20 to 50% of children died shortly before or after childbirth.
02:39:31.000I mean, childbirth used to be very dangerous, and a lot of kids...
02:39:35.000What would have been kids didn't make it.
02:39:37.000I mean, you know, it's a violent process and before we were able to really sanitize it and use modern medical technology to make it safe, a lot of kids died.
02:39:49.000I mean, how many kids did Abraham Lincoln have that died?
02:39:53.000I mean like half his kids didn't make it.
02:40:21.000Yeah, it's a convenient take, but my issue with it also is that it kind of gets religious.
02:40:27.000And when it kind of gets religious, there is an argument that some people make about contraception.
02:40:31.000It gets real fucking squirrely, where people think that contraception is immoral.
02:40:36.000And that there's certain religious people that think that that's the next step they want to push for.
02:40:41.000I mean, if things go further and further down that line of control based on religious sensibilities and ideas, that is something you could see on the table.
02:40:50.000And then you know what you get after that?
02:40:51.000Wear your fucking headscarf or we'll shoot you.
02:40:56.000When you don't allow people to have freedom, things get slippery real quick, whether it's freedom to choose whether or not to have an abortion, whether it's freedom to choose what you wear and what you don't wear, what you say and what you don't say, what political party you affiliate yourself with.
02:41:12.000You can't have an entire half of the country persona non grata because they believe in things that are different than what you believe in.
02:42:31.000That becomes ideological then because now you're not thinking rationally and logically.
02:42:35.000Because if it wasn't a child, if it wasn't a human, if you were trying to look at this in terms of an organism, you would say, well, is that organism viable?
02:42:53.000But if it's a cluster of cells and a girl just found out yesterday that some guy that she did Molly with shot a live round in her and she's 18 years old, should she upend her life when she could just take a Plan B pill or...
02:43:07.000When she can go and get an abortion, who's to say?
02:43:10.000Who the fuck are you to say that she has to have a kid now?
02:43:13.000Yeah, what gives you the authority or the moral authority over her to say what she's going to do with her life or what she wants to do?
02:43:20.000Yeah, and the hardliners are at conception.
02:43:22.000And the hardliners can go fuck themselves, like, you know, as far as, like, if a girl's raped or something, and then you don't look at her rights at all and you say, she should have the baby?
02:43:50.000And that, if you wanted to create chaos, wouldn't you push for that?
02:43:54.000Because that's the way, you know, if you've got, like, some sort of division in this country where people are trying to figure out which side to be on and which side to not be on, well, that throws a whole fucking monkey wrench into the thing.
02:44:06.000Well, I think the right has always been opposed to it.
02:44:09.000I mean, remember the religious right used to be, like, the main opponent until Trump kind of upended that.
02:44:15.000You know, he claimed, he's like, I'm a Christian, I go to church, but I mean, you know, he's fucking, you know, he's getting his, he's probably, you know...
02:44:22.000I know that the Steele dossier was bullshit for the most part, and they didn't have any video of him peeing on a hooker, but if someone told me he peed on a hooker, I'd believe he peed on a hooker.
02:46:21.000Can we have a common sense, a sensible discussion about this?
02:46:28.000The vast majority of people who own handguns or own any kind of guns are not ever going to use it to kill a person.
02:46:36.000They're going to use it either as practice or as hunting or to protect their family.
02:46:41.000They're going to use it in hopes that they never have to use it.
02:46:44.000They're going to have it in their home as a form of protection because they know that sometimes shit goes sideways and some crackhead breaks into your house and wants to kill you.
02:47:59.000And it's completely sensible and it's completely a good thing to have a gun if you live in an area that isn't dense.
02:48:06.000But then on the flip side, I do see, like, if everyone was packed, strapped in New York, and you get on the train during rush hour, and there's a gunfight.
02:48:14.000Everyone pulls out, it ends like a Quentin Tarantino movie.
02:48:36.000They buy them in Indiana, and they move them across.
02:48:39.000That's why, if you're going to have any sensible gun laws, I think it would have to be uniform.
02:48:43.000Yeah, but then you give them the federal government the ability to dictate who does and doesn't have the ability to protect themselves with the firearms.
02:48:56.000And I think just to piggyback off that, you know, get a little tangential, but when Hillary Clinton recently said she called the Electoral College antiquated, I felt like that was very dangerous and very stupid to say because the country's very different.
02:49:14.000We're a United States of America and the states are very different.
02:49:18.000And I think a very good argument can be made that a lot of those states should have more of a say just because they don't have a big population.
02:49:25.000They serve an important function to the country and their representation should be heard.
02:49:31.000And I think the electoral, you can make a great argument that the Electoral College Functions to keep us together.
02:50:32.000Do you think that it would go the other way and there would be a lot more misogyny?
02:50:40.000Because I have friends that talk to me about, like, black friends that talk to me about the racism that went a tick up when Obama was elected.
02:51:27.000If you're a woman, you're a Democrat, and you're out on the town with a couple of your Democrat friends, and you get confronted by some Republican guy who believes he just lost his job because you voted for the wrong person, Yeah.
02:53:11.000I mean, when you're dealing with politics and you're dealing with people that are involved in shady businesses and stuff, you do get a certain amount of suicides.
02:53:18.000Like, didn't one of Bernie Maynoff's kids kill himself?
02:54:50.000Family of Bill Clinton advisor who admitted Jeffrey Epstein into the White House seven times has blocked release of files detailing the death scene after he was found hanging from a tree with a shotgun blast at a ranch 30 miles from his home.
02:55:04.000Top Clinton advisor Mark Middleton died by suicide at the age of 59. They should put suicide in quotes.
02:55:10.000At the age of 59, on May 7th, the Perry County Sheriff's Office in Arkansas confirmed.
02:55:16.000Middleton was President Bill Clinton's special advisor, special, who admitted Jeffrey Epstein into the White House seven of the at least 17 times the pedophile visited.
02:55:27.000The married father of two who lived in Little Rock, Arkansas, shot himself At Heifer Ranch in Perryville, 30 miles away from his home.
02:55:35.000Dailymail.com can now reveal Middleton's father, Larry, and his widow, Rhea, are fighting to keep the photos and other illustrative content of his death sealed.
02:55:52.000The two filed for an injunction arguing that blocking the release of the footage would halt a proliferation of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.
02:56:04.000They should put that in quotes as well.
02:56:06.000Arguing that blocking the release of the footage would halt So blocking the footage would halt a proliferation of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.
02:59:28.000He found a tree and pulled a table over there.
02:59:31.000He got on that table and they took an extension cord and put it around a limb, put it around his neck and shot himself in the chest with a shotgun.
02:59:39.000See, the problem is like when it says it was definitely self-inflicted in our opinion, like how would you know?
02:59:46.000Why would you think that that is definitely self-inflicted?
02:59:49.000All you should know is that he was shot with a shotgun while he was hung from a tree.
02:59:53.000Nobody shoots himself with a shotgun in the chest.
02:59:56.000Right, and is there a toxicology examination?
03:02:10.000Yeah, and for sure, in other parts of the world, if you're involved in some sort of a thing where you have information that can get some sort of a leader in trouble...
03:03:12.000Well, you remember when Hillary Clinton was doing an interview and they were talking about Libya after Muammar Gaddafi got captured and killed?
03:04:16.000Do you think that with all this exposure to this stuff, all the open discussions of this stuff in America, like it's less and less prevalent, do you think because more people are aware of all this stuff and more people are aware of these, like before this would be in a fucking newspaper somewhere and then it'd be gone.
03:05:59.000I actually, there was this dude, I won't get out of this big show, but anyway, he, a guy, and I believed him, right?
03:06:07.000He's a former military guy, and he was in Iraq, and he said, just talking about the military-industrial compass, he was like, a lot of what they told us to do was just go into the desert, and we would just dump artillery.
03:07:23.000You know, that's what scares me about riots and protests.
03:07:28.000I think there's like a thing about human beings when we get large groups of people together on the ground encountering other large groups of people.
03:07:39.000People go back to like these strange instincts that we had when that was how war was taking place.
03:07:46.000Like if you were alive in the 1200s and war broke out, it broke out on the ground.
03:07:52.000Like you're running at each other and Hacking each other and it's like a riot like a crazy elevated Super riot but way worse right war killing death destruction people coming out other people like I think people have like this automatic like There's a weird thing that happens when there's like a group mind If there's a riot and people are capable of things they would never be capable of any other time like it's almost like you go into like war mode and You know,
03:08:18.000like you go into like this primal, like everyone's IQ drops and everyone gets like goes back in evolution.
03:08:46.000Like during the George Floyd protests when you saw people lighting buildings on fire and smashing windows and cops were standing by where people are looting stores.
03:09:04.000Yeah, I think it triggers like some old-timey shit that's in our DNA. Because I think you had to be ready for when the shit went down if you lived 10,000 years ago.
03:09:55.000You're just kind of getting out of your own way and trying to navigate it and bring everybody together with the jokes and put the bits together correctly and have this wave all come together.
03:10:04.000You're trying to get out of your own way, really.
03:10:06.000But you feel an energy from them that sort of invigorates you.
03:10:10.000You get excited, for sure, but the goal is always to perform the best you can, which if you're thinking about that energy, you're fucking up.
03:11:17.000I mean, humans are not supposed to have that kind of control over that many people.
03:11:23.000And if they did, it was usually like they were the greatest warrior and the chief of the tribe, and there's only 150 people.
03:11:28.000And you knew that guy, he knows where all the poison plants are, he knows how to get water, he's fucking got the most scars on his face, he survived.
03:12:09.000You gotta stay normal as much as you can.
03:12:12.000I think one of the ways that I do that, I mean I always talk about this ad nauseum, but it's working out really hard.
03:12:17.000I brutalize myself and cold plunges and saunas and shit like that.
03:12:21.000Put yourself through difficult shit so that you have a humility because you're constantly feeling your weakness and your breaking point.
03:12:31.000You're constantly exhausted and pushing through.
03:12:34.000You're constantly reevaluating your capabilities.
03:12:38.000If you push yourself to the point of exhaustion, every time you're doing that and you know you have like 30 seconds left in the round and you want to quit, but you don't quit.
03:12:45.000You're pushing yourself past this very difficult moment and in that you get humbled because you're like, oh my god, I'm such a bitch.
03:12:52.000And then you sit down and like you get exhausted and you wait for that minute to get up and then you do it again.
03:12:57.000And if you could force yourself into doing that, you are very...
03:13:02.000Like obviously confronted with your limitations, obviously confronted with your weaknesses and like where your willpower is and your character.
03:13:10.000The most willful person, the most disciplined person is still pretty fucking weak.
03:13:26.000I think there's something that people that have experienced too much comfort and no discomfort at all and no testing of their boundaries physically.
03:13:34.000Because people equate testing of your boundaries physically with being like a meathead.
03:13:40.000But I think it's much more mental than people want to give it credit.
03:13:43.000Because I think in overcoming your will to quit, because there's a strong urge to quit when you're working out really hard.
03:13:51.000A strong urge to quit when you're in the sauna.
03:15:12.000You know, I had this—I had an interesting thought about you, too.
03:15:17.000Has there ever been anyone in the world, in the history of the world—and this is going to be—I don't know if you ever thought about this, but I don't think there has—who's talked to as many people for as long— Like, I don't think...
03:17:32.000And the really fascinating people, they've thought of that.
03:17:36.000They've analyzed their thoughts and their conclusions are more based on an objective assessment of reality and of information than of people that are ideologically based.
03:17:47.000The ideologically based people often fall apart under questioning and that's fascinating too.
03:17:52.000It's fascinating when you confront someone.
03:17:55.000With facts that go against their ideology.
03:17:58.000And, you know, and I've experienced it personally.
03:18:01.000It's just, you know, it's uncomfortable personally when you realize, like, oh, I have, like, a flaw in the way I'm thinking.
03:18:07.000And, like, I should look at things differently.
03:19:22.000I'm so obsessed with those kind of people that just make up some fake technology and con super wealthy people into hundreds of millions of dollars investing in their company.
03:19:34.000Self-made billionaire and then now facing fucking 20 years in jail.
03:19:39.000And she owes a hundred million dollars plus.
03:19:56.000They find ways to fudge the numbers and move the needle around, you know, make it look like everything's better than it is, and eventually we'll all work it out.
