Transcript

00:00:13.000 Let's go!
00:00:15.000 Boy you're going deep, fella.
00:00:17.000 I mean that's why Elon Musk is a success.
00:00:20.000 Why?
00:00:20.000 Because he smoked weed on this show.
00:00:22.000 I don't think that's true.
00:00:24.000 That's wrong.
00:00:27.000 That's like with high school kids.
00:00:28.000 That guy's got a lot of money, and I saw him smoke weed on this show.
00:00:30.000 That's what happened, bro.
00:00:32.000 That is the root of it all.
00:00:33.000 I almost got him fucking, like, removed from NASA top clearance.
00:00:39.000 That's crazy, dude, that you would have to...
00:00:42.000 Meanwhile, we're drinking whiskey for like two hours before we hit that bunt.
00:00:47.000 That's wild how slow that aspect, because weed's so legal in so many places, you forget that it's not legal still.
00:00:53.000 Well, it was legal in California.
00:00:55.000 That's what he asked me.
00:00:56.000 He goes, it is legal.
00:00:57.000 Yeah, it's legal here.
00:00:58.000 Yeah, but it's not...
00:00:59.000 There's California law, and then there's...
00:01:02.000 State law.
00:01:03.000 Yeah.
00:01:03.000 Federal law, rather.
00:01:04.000 Or also, like, corporate, like, investor confidence law, I guess, is what he's violating.
00:01:09.000 Well, this is NASA. NASA had an issue with it, so it's government.
00:01:12.000 Yeah.
00:01:12.000 Because marijuana still, very unfortunately, is still federally Schedule I, which means it has no medical benefits.
00:01:20.000 Yeah.
00:01:20.000 Which is hilarious, because I'm pretty sure cocaine is scheduled too.
00:01:24.000 Because cocaine has medical benefits.
00:01:26.000 Because of the throat, right?
00:01:28.000 Like Elvis would get it for his throat.
00:01:30.000 You know what he was saying?
00:01:31.000 I mean, officially, that's why they would give it to him.
00:01:34.000 I was watching like his entourage, like the guys from his entourage.
00:01:37.000 We need to get Elvis some cocaine for his throat.
00:01:39.000 It was like this medical grade, the kind Robert Evans got busted trying to get the pure liquid cocaine, and they would just dip these cotton swabs in it, and they would just sit there and be ripped for hours, he said, on liquid.
00:01:51.000 It was for his throat.
00:01:52.000 Well, it would numb it, because I had lidocaine on my nose, which is like a cousin of cocaine, I guess.
00:02:00.000 And one of the things that I thought was really interesting about, it fucking killed my appetite.
00:02:04.000 Like, I tried to go to dinner.
00:02:05.000 Yeah, right.
00:02:06.000 Afterwards, I was like, God, I don't want to eat anything.
00:02:08.000 I know I'm hungry.
00:02:09.000 I had this delicious steak in front of me and I couldn't eat it.
00:02:12.000 Oh, yeah, right.
00:02:13.000 Because the lidocaine, like, it was still in my throat.
00:02:15.000 I could taste it.
00:02:16.000 It was like, ugh.
00:02:17.000 Isn't that like a similar...
00:02:19.000 What's that movie?
00:02:20.000 It numbs everything.
00:02:21.000 But it doesn't get you high, but it does get you feeling weird.
00:02:24.000 You don't feel like you're not in any way like high, you know, but you're like weirded out.
00:02:31.000 I think he gave me like a heavy dose too because he had to clean out my nose and fix my septum.
00:02:37.000 I don't know.
00:02:39.000 I don't remember.
00:02:40.000 I don't remember because they put me under.
00:02:42.000 I don't remember if it was injections.
00:02:43.000 I don't remember what happened.
00:02:46.000 Because I had to go out for that because it's it's pretty serious.
00:02:49.000 I don't fucking get in there What's your turbinates?
00:02:55.000 Yeah, it's like these bumps in the middle my nose is fucked I'm getting hit or just oh well from everything I fell down a flight of stairs when I was five years old So I remember yeah, it was a little photo of me with a black eye when I was five I remember just slipped and fell down a cement flight of stairs Jesus Christ in my backyard when I was five smash my nose and And so,
00:03:13.000 I think from then on, I never had a good nose.
00:03:16.000 I think it was pretty fucked up from then on.
00:03:19.000 I was a literal mouth breather until I was 40. And then I got my nose fixed.
00:03:24.000 Yeah, I know.
00:03:25.000 Oh my god, it was the greatest thing ever.
00:03:26.000 I was like...
00:03:27.000 I just always had huge nostril capacity myself, so...
00:03:31.000 Well, a lot of guys start out with huge nostril capacity, but if you get hit there enough, a lot of wrestlers and very much boxers, boxers, they get their nose smashed.
00:03:42.000 MMA fighters get their nose smashed.
00:03:43.000 Yeah, right.
00:03:44.000 They all have stuffed up noses.
00:03:46.000 Remember Randall Texkov?
00:03:47.000 Yeah.
00:03:48.000 He looked like somebody just spread his nose like butter onto his...
00:03:51.000 Meanwhile, Artie Lang probably has the most impressive broken nose I've ever seen.
00:03:55.000 Yeah, well...
00:03:56.000 Like, Artie's just collapsed, you know?
00:03:58.000 Yeah, that's a crazy story.
00:04:00.000 I just talked to him not that long ago.
00:04:01.000 He's the best.
00:04:02.000 I love that dude so much.
00:04:04.000 I love him so much.
00:04:05.000 He's such a good...
00:04:06.000 Like, when you're around him, you just want to hug him.
00:04:09.000 Yeah, dude.
00:04:09.000 He's just such a good...
00:04:10.000 He's always been that way, too.
00:04:11.000 I've known that guy for 20 plus years.
00:04:14.000 Yeah, he used to do me and Sherrod's old podcast, Raze Wars, and he'd give me a ride back to Washington Heights, and it was like the funniest dude to hang out with that I ever met.
00:04:25.000 His fucking stories, they're so good.
00:04:27.000 And even when he sobered up, they were just as good, if not better.
00:04:30.000 I did a podcast with him.
00:04:33.000 We used the Skank Studio.
00:04:35.000 Right.
00:04:36.000 Legion of Skank Studio.
00:04:37.000 Thanks to them for that, because it was pretty awesome of them to let me borrow their studio.
00:04:41.000 So we did Artie in there, and Artie was stone-cold sober for over a year, confident that he was going to keep it together.
00:04:49.000 He had a guy with him helping him.
00:04:51.000 He was on the ball.
00:04:52.000 On the ball.
00:04:53.000 His fucking stories were sharper than ever.
00:04:55.000 Right.
00:04:56.000 Sharper than ever.
00:04:57.000 It's like you would think, sometimes you think like if a guy sobers up, because some guys do, they sober up and then they get boring.
00:05:03.000 Yeah, right.
00:05:04.000 You know, something happens, they lose that wildness.
00:05:06.000 No, he doesn't.
00:05:07.000 Not at all.
00:05:08.000 Yeah, it brings it down to a manageable...
00:05:10.000 You know who else got really better after they got sober is Attell.
00:05:14.000 Attell was always amazing.
00:05:16.000 He was always a great, great comic, but being healthier because he has more energy...
00:05:20.000 He just stopped.
00:05:21.000 I remember that.
00:05:22.000 Just stopped.
00:05:22.000 When he stopped, I'm like, really?
00:05:23.000 That was like a whole...
00:05:24.000 Yeah.
00:05:25.000 Yeah.
00:05:25.000 Well, I think, you know, you get captured by a thing that you're known for, too.
00:05:30.000 Because remember in Sondiak, he would get hammered in every town.
00:05:33.000 It was a fucking great show.
00:05:33.000 He told me it was like impossible to do without people throwing like ice cubes at the production.
00:05:39.000 Did you ever see it?
00:05:41.000 I mean, I loved it when it came out, but I didn't know about how production, like the logistics of a show revolving around being drunk out at night.
00:05:50.000 What a nightmare that must be.
00:05:52.000 Every fucking bar you go to is just filled with hammered people.
00:05:55.000 You have to be drunk to do it, because if you're sober dealing with that, it's like being waterboarded.
00:06:00.000 I'll say anything to make this end.
00:06:03.000 Imagine if you're like a health nut and you're like running every day and eating wheatgrass juice and you have to fucking hold the camera for that show.
00:06:12.000 Yeah, I remember I didn't drink for like five years, okay?
00:06:16.000 And I remember not like I was like I must have been so nauseous just when I was drunk because I can't stand everybody that was drunk around me.
00:06:25.000 You're not at the same speed anymore and it gets like annoying.
00:06:28.000 That's what it is.
00:06:28.000 You're not at the same speed.
00:06:29.000 Yeah.
00:06:30.000 And you think everybody's on your speed.
00:06:33.000 When you're drunk you think like you think you're making sense and everybody's like oh my god Kurt listen to your voice.
00:06:38.000 There's fucking guys.
00:06:40.000 You guys are the best.
00:06:41.000 Yeah, right.
00:06:44.000 It's so dumb.
00:06:46.000 It's so dumb.
00:06:47.000 But while it's happening, it's so fun.
00:06:49.000 Yeah, as long as everybody's on board the same.
00:06:52.000 Yeah.
00:06:53.000 It's very fun while it's happening.
00:06:54.000 But the problem is the fucking price you pay, too.
00:06:58.000 Whenever I do Sober October, at the end of the month, I'm like, why would I drink again?
00:07:02.000 I'm like, I feel so good.
00:07:03.000 Do you drink a lot?
00:07:04.000 I enjoy alcohol, my friend.
00:07:06.000 I enjoy a glass of whiskey.
00:07:08.000 I enjoy a glass of wine with dinner.
00:07:11.000 You know what I've been drinking?
00:07:12.000 I like a margarita.
00:07:13.000 Yeah, those are good.
00:07:15.000 I was like here and there.
00:07:16.000 I didn't quit because I feel like I have a drinking problem.
00:07:19.000 I was like, you know, I had an Oxycontin problem.
00:07:22.000 I didn't have a drinking problem.
00:07:25.000 Ryan Long got me into White Claws.
00:07:27.000 I've been drinking White Claws.
00:07:29.000 That's hilarious.
00:07:30.000 People try to shame me, too, about it, and I don't give a shit.
00:07:32.000 Ryan Long's a funny dude.
00:07:34.000 He's a funny dude.
00:07:35.000 I hung out with him at the Vulcan.
00:07:37.000 Did you- I forgot.
00:07:38.000 Funny dude.
00:07:38.000 When you brought up Legion's Gangs, did you watch Soda doing Chappelle and- No.
00:07:42.000 Pranking that Fox News producer for Tucker?
00:07:45.000 No.
00:07:46.000 Dude, I- Does Soda do, like, a Wicked Chappelle impression?
00:07:50.000 It's a good impression, but I can hear Soda, but it's so hilarious.
00:07:53.000 So- I saw it come on my feed, and I didn't know what it was.
00:07:57.000 I was like, I don't want to listen to the whole podcast, but Jake called me and told me what the clip is.
00:08:01.000 So I guess a producer from Tucker Carlson, because Chappelle was on SNL, and I don't know why, but she's at Gas Digital.
00:08:11.000 So Dave Smith, you have Dave Smith on.
00:08:13.000 I love Dave Smith.
00:08:14.000 So Lewis was up in Dave, he's like, you really should have Dave Smith on, because he really talks about this stuff.
00:08:18.000 Oh yeah, he knows his shit.
00:08:20.000 And Lewis kept recommending him to her, and she goes, oh, you have his number?
00:08:25.000 He goes, yeah, he'd love to do it.
00:08:26.000 And she starts texting Dave Smith, like, it's such an honor.
00:08:31.000 All this, like, a little overly...
00:08:33.000 Jesus.
00:08:34.000 With Dave's like, wow, this girl's really into Dave Smith.
00:08:36.000 So they figure out she thinks he's Dave Chappelle for some reason.
00:08:39.000 How?
00:08:40.000 Well, that was a lot of the mystery, was, like, how you would mix that up.
00:08:44.000 It turned out Lewis had said something that let her...
00:08:47.000 They went back and Lewis realized from texting.
00:08:50.000 Oh, no.
00:08:51.000 So he just flubbed a text?
00:08:52.000 He told her, like, Dave is the closest thing I have to a brother about Dave Smith, but she thinks it's Chappelle.
00:08:57.000 Oh, my God.
00:08:59.000 Oh, no.
00:09:00.000 Dave is like one of those guys like Eddie.
00:09:02.000 You could say Eddie.
00:09:03.000 Everybody knows you're saying Eddie Murphy.
00:09:05.000 Yeah, right.
00:09:06.000 You say Dave.
00:09:07.000 I say it all the time.
00:09:08.000 I say Dave.
00:09:09.000 I don't even have to bother saying Dave Chappelle.
00:09:12.000 I don't remember.
00:09:12.000 Well, around Gas Digital, Dave Smith, you say Dave, it's probably going to be Dave Smith, but Lewis went and checked his texts, and that's how he realized that, okay?
00:09:22.000 So then they get Soder, they call Soder to call her up as Chappelle, so it's on mute for the podcast.
00:09:29.000 And I think his whole thing is he's going to use the name Louis Jane Gobez in every sentence that he says to her.
00:09:37.000 That's hilarious.
00:09:38.000 Dave Smith, by the way, is one of the most knowledgeable political guys I've ever talked to.
00:09:43.000 I just did a thing with him.
00:09:44.000 He knows so much.
00:09:47.000 Has Jimmy ever had him on?
00:09:49.000 They're trying to now, actually.
00:09:50.000 Oh, that would be a perfect fit.
00:09:52.000 Yeah.
00:09:52.000 Yeah.
00:09:52.000 By the way, you're hilarious on Jimmy.
00:09:54.000 It's very fun.
00:09:55.000 It's very fun.
00:09:56.000 I'm glad he's got you doing that now.
00:09:57.000 It's such a great move because it really puts levity to all these crazy fucked up stories.
00:10:02.000 It's better if I'm in the studio, too.
00:10:04.000 While he's doing it remote, it's not as good.
00:10:06.000 There's something about being in it.
00:10:07.000 There's a lag.
00:10:07.000 Yeah.
00:10:08.000 Well, you don't feel each other's vibe.
00:10:10.000 Yeah, right.
00:10:11.000 That's a real thing.
00:10:13.000 I smoke so much more.
00:10:14.000 I mean, I always smoke a lot of weed, but so much more now because of being informed.
00:10:19.000 I hate it.
00:10:22.000 I mean, I really...
00:10:23.000 I don't know.
00:10:26.000 I enjoy being there.
00:10:26.000 That was one of the few...
00:10:28.000 I think I couldn't watch any more regular news for a few years.
00:10:33.000 It's hard.
00:10:34.000 It's hard because you got to run everything through a fucking filter.
00:10:39.000 You know, like, what are you trying to sell me?
00:10:42.000 What's actually going on?
00:10:43.000 And why are there so many pharmaceutical commercials?
00:10:46.000 Yeah, and there's no...
00:10:48.000 Especially, like, friends of mine that had, you know, I was hooked on OxyContin.
00:10:52.000 Now, I didn't get tricked, but...
00:10:53.000 How did you get hooked on it?
00:10:54.000 I knew it was heroin when I did it.
00:10:57.000 So you did it for fun?
00:10:58.000 I had a legit prescription at one point from Hurt My Back and then...
00:11:03.000 Ah, the old Hurt My Back.
00:11:04.000 Yeah, and I had like a Percocet, right, which still has, I guess, a Tylenol in it.
00:11:09.000 And then they were just around.
00:11:11.000 Like I could get my hands on them, the blue ones.
00:11:14.000 Oh.
00:11:14.000 So I started taking those.
00:11:15.000 So I wasn't one of the people that they said it's not addictive to.
00:11:18.000 You knew?
00:11:19.000 Yeah, by that time, everybody knew it was a drug.
00:11:22.000 So I don't blame it on, like, the Sackler family tricked me, but they did, you know, remember breakthrough pain?
00:11:28.000 Yeah.
00:11:29.000 So that, I guess that's, you have a tolerance to heroin, and you...
00:11:33.000 It's called breakthrough pain.
00:11:34.000 Yeah, they call it, like, ooh, the pain somehow broke through.
00:11:37.000 You just need a higher and higher dose.
00:11:38.000 Yeah, that breakthrough term is a marketing term.
00:11:41.000 I didn't know that.
00:11:42.000 Like, that's what a breakthrough infection is.
00:11:44.000 That's not a medical, that's a marketing thing.
00:11:46.000 They tricked America into getting hooked on heroin.
00:11:50.000 Can you imagine that?
00:11:51.000 When we were kids, okay, like in high school, For example, when you heard about a rock star who did heroin, like when I heard about, I guess it was a little after high school, but Kurt Cobain.
00:12:03.000 I was like, God, he's doing heroin?
00:12:05.000 Doesn't he know?
00:12:06.000 Like, doesn't he know?
00:12:07.000 That was in my high school.
00:12:09.000 I remember thinking that because I didn't do anything.
00:12:11.000 I was a witness.
00:12:12.000 I didn't drink or do, you know.
00:12:13.000 But what was the numbers back then of people who actually did heroin versus now?
00:12:18.000 Later, years later, I found out a whole bunch of people on heroin in my high school because Tom's River...
00:12:23.000 Remember the pizza connection, all that shit?
00:12:25.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:26.000 Like really pure heroin was coming in through Tom's River.
00:12:29.000 Wow.
00:12:29.000 So High School North was the more, Heroin High was like the nickname of it.
00:12:33.000 And that was a little bit richer kids, and that was way more of a thing there.
00:12:36.000 But it was at my school too.
00:12:38.000 I was very innocent when it came to drugs, because most of my high school years I spent doing martial arts.
00:12:43.000 Yeah.
00:12:44.000 So I really didn't party at all.
00:12:46.000 But my boxing coach, when I was 20, was this guy who was a longshoreman.
00:12:51.000 Oh, crack?
00:12:52.000 He smoked crack?
00:12:53.000 Oh, no, no, no.
00:12:53.000 He didn't do anything.
00:12:54.000 He drank a little bit, but big Irish guy.
00:12:57.000 Okay.
00:12:58.000 Great fucking guy.
00:13:00.000 But he worked with a guy that was a heroin addict.
00:13:02.000 And I go, he's a heroin addict?
00:13:03.000 He still has a job?
00:13:04.000 He goes, yep.
00:13:05.000 He goes, every day at lunchtime, he goes to this guy, he gets his bag, he sits in his car, he shoots it up, He sits in his car for an hour, and then he goes back to work.
00:13:18.000 I go, no fucking way.
00:13:19.000 He goes, yeah, and he's fine.
00:13:21.000 He goes, but he needs it.
00:13:22.000 He's got to get it every day.
00:13:23.000 But if he gets it every day, he's very functional.
00:13:25.000 I'm like, that's nuts.
00:13:26.000 I'm like, how many guys are like that?
00:13:28.000 But he knew a bunch of people who did heroin.
00:13:31.000 I was like, you know a bunch of people that do heroin?
00:13:34.000 Like, who the fuck's doing heroin?
00:13:37.000 Whereas now, if you hear, oh, my uncle's on pills, like, ah, fuck another one.
00:13:41.000 It's another one.
00:13:42.000 It's another one.
00:13:43.000 I mean, how many of our friends?
00:13:44.000 Taking the needle out of it really takes some stigma away, I guess.
00:13:48.000 And also having it prescribed by a medical doctor.
00:13:51.000 Schaub had it, and people had to take it from him.
00:13:53.000 His friends had to take it from him.
00:13:55.000 What do you mean?
00:13:55.000 Before I knew him well.
00:13:57.000 He got hooked on pills.
00:13:59.000 Oh, right.
00:13:59.000 He had an oxy problem.
00:14:01.000 He got his nose shattered in one of his big fights.
00:14:04.000 I think it was Mirko Krokop hit him with an elbow in the nose.
00:14:08.000 This guy from Croatia is one of the most murderous kickboxers of all time.
00:14:11.000 Schaub actually knocked him out.
00:14:13.000 It was like Schaub's biggest win as a professional.
00:14:16.000 He got elbowed in the process of doing that.
00:14:17.000 Yeah, he got his nose shattered in the process, so he got his nose fixed.
00:14:21.000 I'm pretty sure it was that fight.
00:14:22.000 He got his nose fixed, and then in getting his nose fixed, they got him hooked on the pills.
00:14:27.000 Yum.
00:14:28.000 And he was just taking them.
00:14:29.000 Like, months after the surgery, he's still taking them, and his buddies pulled them aside.
00:14:33.000 You get tolerance pretty quick.
00:14:34.000 But it's also when you're not supposed to just get off, right?
00:14:37.000 You're supposed to wean yourself off that shit, right?
00:14:39.000 Well, you won't.
00:14:40.000 It's not like, um...
00:14:41.000 Benzos, you could die.
00:14:43.000 Benzos, you could die.
00:14:44.000 Opiates, you think you're gonna die, but you're not.
00:14:46.000 Should you wean yourself off?
00:14:49.000 Do they, like, if they medically do it?
00:14:51.000 Like, if you went, checked yourself into a rehab and said, hey, I have an OxyContin addiction.
00:14:55.000 Well, I didn't have to do that.
00:14:56.000 They prescribed me Suboxone to quit it.
00:14:58.000 Right, but if they, what I'm saying is, like, if you went, like, straight, like, you were, you were fucked up and you went straight to a rehab center.
00:15:05.000 Yeah.
00:15:05.000 Like, would they wean you off of it?
00:15:08.000 They give you Suboxone.
00:15:09.000 They give you Suboxone.
00:15:10.000 Yeah.
00:15:10.000 And what is that stuff?
00:15:11.000 I've heard people talk about that.
00:15:13.000 It's a little orange film.
00:15:16.000 But you have to be...
00:15:17.000 Oh, what's his name?
00:15:19.000 I'm blanking on his name.
00:15:22.000 He took it...
00:15:24.000 You're friends with him.
00:15:25.000 He's got a beard and he's a psychedelic...
00:15:28.000 What's his name?
00:15:29.000 I'm totally blanking.
00:15:30.000 Duncan?
00:15:30.000 Duncan!
00:15:32.000 Jesus.
00:15:33.000 Beard psychedelic?
00:15:34.000 I'm like, yeah, I was really reaching.
00:15:36.000 That's that real weed, that's what that is.
00:15:38.000 Is it indica?
00:15:38.000 That's real shit.
00:15:39.000 No.
00:15:39.000 Go, thank God.
00:15:40.000 Jesus.
00:15:41.000 I only like productivity weed.
00:15:43.000 Yeah.
00:15:44.000 I don't know if that's real, by the way.
00:15:45.000 Ari told me a story about him where he was somewhere and he was taken, he took some Suboxone after he had done, you know, Oxy or something and he got real sick.
00:15:55.000 So the stuff knocks it out of your system immediately, nail oxen or something when you take it.
00:16:00.000 So you're supposed to be in withdrawal before you take it.
00:16:03.000 So you have to wait until you're sick.
00:16:05.000 Oh, wow.
00:16:06.000 You know, when you feel sick, and then you can take it.
00:16:08.000 Because if you don't wait, and you still have that stuff in your system, it kicks you into withdrawal immediately.
00:16:14.000 Now, is there a concern with people getting on Suboxone?
00:16:18.000 Because I remember Methadone.
00:16:21.000 They'll keep you on it forever, by the way, if you want.
00:16:23.000 Yeah, that was the thing when we were playing pool back in the 90s that my friend Johnny B used to call these people the Methadonians.
00:16:33.000 They would come in from the methadone clinic.
00:16:36.000 So there would be like a methadone place that was right down the street.
00:16:40.000 And they would go to this methadone place, they'd get their fix, then they'd walk over and come to the pool hall.
00:16:44.000 And they'd just be like slack-jawed, knocking balls around.
00:16:47.000 And Johnny called them the methadoneans.
00:16:50.000 Yeah.
00:16:50.000 It was so weird.
00:16:51.000 And then they figured out at one point to take Xanax with it and it almost feels like heroin apparently.
00:16:57.000 Oh really?
00:16:57.000 Together?
00:16:58.000 Yeah.
00:16:58.000 There's an HBO documentary about it.
00:17:00.000 Oh boy.
00:17:01.000 Like a few years back.
00:17:02.000 But they say that methadone is terrible for you.
00:17:05.000 Yeah, I think that stuff's probably even more...
00:17:07.000 It's probably worse than heroin.
00:17:08.000 Is methadone bad for you?
00:17:11.000 The withdrawal from that?
00:17:11.000 The withdrawal from methanol is worse?
00:17:12.000 The withdrawal from Suboxone?
00:17:14.000 Yeah.
00:17:14.000 Felt worse than the withdrawal from the Oxy.
00:17:18.000 Really?
00:17:19.000 If I had just cold turkeyed that, that would have been a less horrible withdrawal.
00:17:22.000 Really?
00:17:23.000 Yeah.
00:17:23.000 Wow.
00:17:24.000 And I was taking...
00:17:25.000 How long were you taking Suboxone for?
00:17:28.000 I don't know, like maybe almost a year, maybe not even, but I was down, dude, I was weaned down to the tiniest bit of it, because I was really like...
00:17:35.000 And even the tiniest bit when you got off it completely, you had horrible troubles.
00:17:39.000 It sucked, dude.
00:17:39.000 Really?
00:17:40.000 Yeah.
00:17:41.000 Wow, so you tapered.
00:17:42.000 Yeah, I'd take it.
00:17:44.000 Now, is that similar to methadone?
00:17:47.000 Is methadone supposed to be really bad when you try to get off of it, too?
00:17:49.000 I've never taken methadone.
00:17:50.000 I don't know what it's like, but from what I get now, it's mostly suboxone.
00:17:54.000 I don't know if anybody's still taking methadone.
00:17:56.000 I'm very ignorant to methadone.
00:17:58.000 What exactly is methadone?
00:18:00.000 I just know it is with the thing they used to give you before they had suboxone.
00:18:04.000 They give people when they were hooked on heroin.
00:18:05.000 Because it blocks opiate.
00:18:06.000 I forgot.
00:18:07.000 Suboxone, part of it, blocks you.
00:18:08.000 I think methanol is supposed to do that, too, but it blocks you from being able to get high if you relapse.
00:18:12.000 Oh, Jesus.
00:18:12.000 There's no reason to take more, like...
00:18:14.000 Unless you just get off that fucking Suboxone.
00:18:16.000 People get high off Suboxone too, but I didn't get any high of it.
00:18:20.000 I just didn't feel like sick when I was using it.
00:18:22.000 We had a guy on a long time ago that was, he worked in a rehab center and he said a lot of it was a scam.
00:18:27.000 And he said they would get you hooked on their stuff and their stuff was Suboxone.
00:18:32.000 It does start to feel like that.
00:18:33.000 But if they have you hooked on it and you're not getting high, like what is it doing?
00:18:39.000 Keeping you, well, for, like, heroin?
00:18:41.000 Like, say, you're not getting high on heroin anymore, and Suboxone doesn't make you high.
00:18:45.000 So you have to take it to function.
00:18:47.000 That guy you're talking about that goes on his lunch break?
00:18:49.000 That sounds like he was doing just what he needed to feel normal.
00:18:52.000 But is this the case with everybody?
00:18:54.000 Because that sounds insane to me that you would have to be on something for a full year to get over something that, like, what would it normally be?
00:19:01.000 Like, if you were on those oxys and you quit cold turkey and had horrible withdrawals, how long would you feel like shit for?
00:19:08.000 Well...
00:19:10.000 A week?
00:19:11.000 A month?
00:19:11.000 Okay, so that's probably a week or less just the shitty feeling, but then you're not going to be right for a couple of months.
00:19:17.000 A couple of months?
00:19:18.000 That's what I've experienced.
00:19:20.000 And like, what was that, like when you say weren't right, what do you mean by that?
00:19:24.000 Just like an off, you know, you're burning out, whatever that, I don't know what that receptor is, but...
00:19:30.000 The good one.
00:19:31.000 Yeah.
00:19:31.000 The one that makes the heroin.
00:19:32.000 I beat on it quite a bit, so it probably, you know, benzos is worse, dude.
00:19:37.000 I think that's the one that, like, people...
00:19:38.000 That's the one that can kill you.
00:19:39.000 Well, not just that, but I think it affects people I know that came off that, it affected them for, like, a Crazy amount of time.
00:19:45.000 So for you, it was like cognitive decline, dull feeling, no energy, no energy?
00:19:50.000 But I wasn't really exercising a lot at that point, so that's a factor.
00:19:56.000 I didn't even realize how much, just if you go exercise, the energy, I didn't realize how much...
00:20:01.000 Dude, I say it all the time.
00:20:02.000 Nobody wants to listen because I'm a meathead.
00:20:04.000 It's a real problem.
00:20:05.000 No, there's a deep, like, there's a deep, like, anger towards the very idea.
00:20:09.000 Yeah, there's a deep resistance towards exercise.
00:20:11.000 And I remember feeling, not like I'm mad at somebody that does work out, but I remember feeling like, I don't remember why, but I remember having that kind of feeling of, like...
00:20:19.000 It's defensiveness.
00:20:20.000 It's hard to do.
00:20:21.000 That's what it is.
00:20:22.000 When you see something, when someone does something that's hard to do, also, it's connected to negative things, jocks, douchey male behavior, which I've been guilty of.
00:20:31.000 But it's not, that's not all it is.
00:20:34.000 Like exercise, like just non-meathead exercise, like yoga, is fantastic for you.
00:20:39.000 Yeah, well, just mood stabilizing.
00:20:41.000 I didn't realize, because the other thing is, especially the whole time I lived in New York, I don't think I was getting sun-like.
00:20:48.000 I think I probably have vitamin D deficiency in a big way.
00:20:51.000 Oh, you 100% do.
00:20:52.000 100%.
00:20:53.000 If you're not supplementing with vitamin D, and you live in the Northeast, and it's the wintertime, you have vitamin D deficiency.
00:21:00.000 From food?
00:21:03.000 I think you can get vitamin D from some plants, like small amounts of it from some plants, but I think primarily you get it from being in the sun, unless you're supplementing.
00:21:12.000 That's what I did first before I was in the sun first, and it felt like I got- Oh, it's the best.
00:21:19.000 That's the best way too.
00:21:20.000 That's by far the superior way to get vitamin D. Supplementing is just a safety measure, but you should supplement vitamin D. It's really important.
00:21:31.000 It's so important for your immune system.
00:21:33.000 Yeah, right.
00:21:34.000 According to Ron and Patrick and a lot of other people that know a lot more than I do about it, they say it's not even really a vitamin, it's a hormone.
00:21:41.000 Yeah, I wonder why you can get it from the sun if it's a vitamin.
00:21:45.000 It's pretty crazy, but it is a vitamin in that you could take it in a supplemental form.
00:21:51.000 But it's so beneficial for your immune system.
00:21:54.000 At one point in time, when they were linking COVID deaths with vitamin D deficiency...
00:22:00.000 Four times higher survival rate if you had vitamin D levels, did you see that?
00:22:03.000 Yeah, it's really high.
00:22:04.000 And then the number of people that were in the ICU, the number of them, it was very high, that were deficient in vitamin D. It's just good for your immune system.
00:22:14.000 It's a mood stabilizer, too, for those poor people that live in Seattle.
00:22:18.000 Like, they need that something to fucking juice their mood up.
00:22:21.000 That's the thing that the most I didn't realize.
00:22:24.000 Exercise.
00:22:25.000 Or how much it would, like, even out of mood.
00:22:29.000 It's a game changer.
00:22:29.000 It's a game changer.
00:22:30.000 The reason I had Oxycontin in the first place was I hurt my back when I was working out.
00:22:35.000 Oh, really?
00:22:36.000 Yeah.
00:22:36.000 So it's not like I didn't know.
00:22:38.000 I just hadn't done it for long.
00:22:40.000 The whole pandemic, I didn't do nothing.
00:22:42.000 When you just sit around doing nothing, you feel like shit.
00:22:45.000 It's just normal.
00:22:46.000 It's like stir-crazy, yeah.
00:22:47.000 It's like oil that's at the bottom of your engine tray, just sitting there.
00:22:50.000 It's not getting cranked over.
00:22:52.000 It's not getting used.
00:22:53.000 You just fucking feel gross.
00:22:55.000 And your body doesn't know what to do.
00:22:57.000 Your body's like, why aren't we doing anything?
00:22:58.000 You have requirements.
00:23:00.000 Your body wants to do things.
00:23:01.000 The problem is it sucks.
00:23:03.000 Like, you're lazy.
00:23:04.000 You get up in the morning, I get it.
00:23:05.000 I get it.
00:23:06.000 I fucking 100% get it.
00:23:08.000 That's the thing.
00:23:08.000 It's like, people think that people who do work out don't feel the exact same way they feel before they work out.
00:23:14.000 Because they kind of do.
00:23:16.000 There's most of the time when I work out, I don't want to work out.
00:23:19.000 Oh, really?
00:23:20.000 Just make myself.
00:23:21.000 I get a, like, a compulsive, so I'm, like, how it would be with, like, a drug or something.
00:23:26.000 Oh, so you're just looking forward to it.
00:23:27.000 That's how I hurt myself, because I've got to be, like...
00:23:29.000 I'm not dumb now how I do it.
00:23:31.000 I don't do any stupid shit that's going to injure me because I'm not going for glory or something.
00:23:37.000 But I would injure myself because I would try to go too much.
00:23:41.000 Yeah, so that same addictive personality applies to your exercise too.
00:23:45.000 You get obsessive.
00:23:46.000 Yeah, and then, you know, but a couple, like a few days go by, I didn't do anything, I start to feel like an urge that I have to, you know?
00:23:55.000 I feel like a, probably a lot of mood being held, a lot of my moods are probably being held together by that.
00:24:01.000 Well, I think that's most people.
00:24:03.000 I think that's the way the human body functions that it's most efficient, is when it's in a fit condition.
00:24:10.000 I think the mind works better, the hormones work better, the mood works better, the cognitive function works better, all of it works better.
00:24:17.000 The problem is it's just connected to so much douchery.
00:24:21.000 And then it's also hard to do.
00:24:23.000 There really is an eternal high school...
00:24:26.000 Yeah.
00:24:27.000 I mean, not just with that, with everything, where...
00:24:31.000 I've never seen it more than now, too, by the way, of like a petty, like, it doesn't matter what anybody's saying, it's like, what lunch table do they sit at?
00:24:40.000 Right, right, right.
00:24:41.000 Do you want to be at the right table or not?
00:24:43.000 Well, fucking gyms are weird with that, too, right?
00:24:46.000 There's always, like, flexy dudes.
00:24:48.000 The one I go to is not like that.
00:24:50.000 I mean, it's all West Hollywood, so.
00:24:52.000 You can go to a bad gym, though, where people are very broed out, and if you're just not into that, you're just like all screaming.
00:24:59.000 I mean negative towards other people that are working out there, which definitely happens, but sometimes people chalk up, and they get fucking crazy, and they push each other.
00:25:07.000 Let's go, let's go, let's go!
00:25:09.000 Now, keep in mind, I just go there to get my dick sucked in the bathroom, and I'm out.
00:25:14.000 But I go every day.
00:25:15.000 Sometimes I want it, but I do it.
00:25:17.000 Don't say what the gym is.
00:25:18.000 But is it like an upscale gym, or is it like a fucking Gold's Gym type situation?
00:25:23.000 It's not like Gold's.
00:25:24.000 Oh, should I not say it?
00:25:26.000 Don't say it.
00:25:26.000 Don't say it.
00:25:27.000 They're going to fucking find you.
00:25:28.000 Oh, that's true.
00:25:29.000 Yeah.
00:25:30.000 And they're fine, you can try to suck your dick.
00:25:31.000 That's what they're...
00:25:32.000 That's what he likes!
00:25:34.000 Oh, guys, don't come to this...
00:25:35.000 That's what he likes!
00:25:37.000 No, well, you ever have trainers?
00:25:38.000 I just don't want to be, like, hard-sold on a trainer, because, like, I go hike by my house, and then I do, like, wait, and I don't, like, have anybody even talking to me while I'm doing it.
00:25:48.000 Right.
00:25:48.000 Well, there's something to that, right?
00:25:50.000 It's like a meditative thing.
00:25:51.000 You're just doing your work.
00:25:53.000 But you definitely should talk to somebody that can show you good form.
00:25:57.000 That's one of the most important things.
00:26:00.000 Don't get injured.
00:26:01.000 So when I joined, because I remember what I paid before.
00:26:04.000 I forgot the biggest hassle of it is the bargaining to not get upsold on all this shit and just get a basic.
00:26:11.000 So I looked up already what the price should be, because you know, like a variant.
00:26:16.000 So I showed a dude on the thing, and he had me come over and talk to him on a table, and he goes, okay, so what are your fitness goals?
00:26:24.000 My goal is never to listen to your upsells.
00:26:28.000 Ever.
00:26:29.000 I'm 46, dude.
00:26:31.000 I'm a clown for a living.
00:26:33.000 For some people, say, I'm an accountant.
00:26:36.000 My wife's been getting on me.
00:26:38.000 I really should exercise.
00:26:39.000 It's good for my health.
00:26:40.000 And you decide to join a place.
00:26:41.000 You know what I'm going to do?
00:26:42.000 I'm going to get a trainer.
00:26:43.000 When you'd sit down with that guy, you'd appreciate that forethought.
00:26:48.000 That's the kind of thing.
00:26:51.000 I know what I want, so if I say I don't want it, and then you're trying to find a new way in, it's so annoying.
00:26:56.000 So you told them that you don't want a trainer.
00:26:58.000 You ever do any retail where you have upsell items?
00:27:00.000 Fortunately, no.
00:27:01.000 Okay, so I used to work.
00:27:03.000 I used to manage a Funkoland, it was called, when I was like 19. Is that like a kid's playhouse or something?
00:27:09.000 It became GameStop.
00:27:10.000 It was like, they merged with Electronics Boutique.
00:27:14.000 So it was like buying and selling video games, right?
00:27:17.000 And you could play them before you bought them.
00:27:18.000 That was like a huge deal at the time.
00:27:20.000 And, uh, every retail has upsell shit, so we had to sell cleaners for, like, you know, like the whole- A little air things?
00:27:27.000 You know, people would blow on their Nintendo cartridges to make them work.
00:27:31.000 Uh-huh.
00:27:31.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:32.000 Yeah, so the cleaners work for those.
00:27:34.000 I would say if you were buying an old Nintendo, that's the only way it'd probably even work.
00:27:38.000 I remember that for VCRs too, right?
00:27:40.000 Head cleaners.
00:27:40.000 Yeah, people would blow on it, which is like worse.
00:27:43.000 I'm already trying to sell you a cleaner.
00:27:44.000 So they made them for every system, and then you get some kind of warranty with it, and you would like, it's like 15 bucks, and the markup's like 200%, so you get commission, right?
00:27:55.000 And then you have to hit store numbers for the district manager, you know, like you're expected, because that's how they can be sure you're providing great service.
00:28:04.000 If you don't sell this many, like 25% sales, we know you're not giving the customers great service because customers need a cleaner.
00:28:11.000 So if you're giving good service, they've bought the cleaner.
00:28:13.000 So it would create like this thing where it was like just fraud in every store because you got to...
00:28:19.000 You know, if you're managing, you know the people that are good at this bullshit that you put up out front and some people that are like, you know, the non-social nerds.
00:28:28.000 You have them count shit in the back.
00:28:30.000 But there was always some kind of scam going on because it just created that.
00:28:34.000 Like, you got to hit these numbers.
00:28:36.000 And it was amazing, dude.
00:28:37.000 I really...
00:28:39.000 I didn't know that that was like how everything works.
00:28:42.000 Everything is like you got to hit these numbers and everybody just, you know, do whatever con job.
00:28:47.000 Well, people need incentive, right?
00:28:48.000 That's like cops.
00:28:49.000 They give cops like a certain amount of tickets they have to write every month in some places.
00:28:56.000 Yeah, right.
00:28:56.000 Which is crazy.
00:28:58.000 That's a great system.
00:28:59.000 What would you do if nobody sped ever?
00:29:02.000 What if nobody followed the rules for like one month?
00:29:06.000 What would they do?
00:29:07.000 If they really do have a quota.
00:29:08.000 And I know cops have told me they have a quota.
00:29:11.000 And I know I've read publicly that that's not true.
00:29:14.000 I think it depends where you are though.
00:29:16.000 What township.
00:29:17.000 Well, it depends on what's the rule and what do they actually tell you you have to do.
00:29:22.000 Are they the same thing?
00:29:24.000 How does that work?
00:29:26.000 Let's find out if that's true.
00:29:29.000 Maybe they stopped doing that.
00:29:31.000 Do cops have quotas for how many tickets they have to write?
00:29:35.000 Let's find out if that's true.
00:29:36.000 I know cops have told me they have it.
00:29:39.000 I'll bet you it varies a lot.
00:29:41.000 So if you have like a corrupt sheriff, it's like, listen, these motherfuckers.
00:29:45.000 It's probably not even corrupt.
00:29:47.000 It's like, we're gonna get that money.
00:29:48.000 It's like, just, I'm sure it doesn't even come off as corrupt.
00:29:52.000 You know what the craziest corruption one they had?
00:29:53.000 What?
00:29:54.000 I don't know.
00:29:55.000 I think they still do it in some states, where if you have like 10 grand on you, they just take it.
00:29:59.000 Oh, yeah, right.
00:30:00.000 So they pull you over, and you're going to buy a car, and you have $10,000 in cash on you.
00:30:05.000 Fuck you.
00:30:06.000 Give me that.
00:30:07.000 And then they spend it.
00:30:09.000 Yeah, right.
00:30:09.000 They use it for all these police funds and all these different things.
00:30:12.000 They spruce up the station.
00:30:14.000 Got ourselves a nice TV, boys.
00:30:16.000 And they don't have to give it back for a long time.
00:30:19.000 You have to go to court for it.
00:30:20.000 Yeah, right.
00:30:21.000 Wait, what's it called?
00:30:22.000 There's a term for it.
00:30:25.000 Seizure.
00:30:26.000 Asset seizure or something?
00:30:28.000 Asset seizure.
00:30:29.000 So like if you're going to buy like a fucking 69 Camaro, you know, you got 60 grand.
00:30:35.000 You're like, why do you have 60 grand?
00:30:37.000 You don't have 60 grand.
00:30:38.000 We have 60 grand.
00:30:39.000 You have a fucking cork test.
00:30:40.000 Yeah, that's a lot of money in cash.
00:30:41.000 It's suspicious for you to just have that.
00:30:43.000 Yeah, you're not allowed to have that.
00:30:44.000 What are you going to do?
00:30:45.000 It's probably drugs.
00:30:46.000 Probably drugs.
00:30:48.000 Isn't that hilarious?
00:30:49.000 If you have so much money, that's how lucrative drugs are.
00:30:53.000 They assume that if you have a lot of cash on you, you're selling drugs.
00:30:56.000 They don't think you're selling MAGA hats.
00:30:58.000 Basically what I see is that it's not legal to have a ticket quota.
00:31:02.000 Regardless of the rumors, ticket quotas are a myth.
00:31:05.000 In fact, they're illegal in most states, but...
00:31:08.000 But I've seen multiple things that say there's like unspoken...
00:31:13.000 Evidence suggests there's an unspoken thing about it.
00:31:16.000 There's always a way around.
00:31:17.000 It's about quotas in California from ex...
00:31:21.000 It's from ex-police officers.
00:31:23.000 Yeah, so I don't...
00:31:23.000 Because any job, they're going to judge you by numbers on the board, right?
00:31:26.000 Like, how much did you...
00:31:28.000 Of course.
00:31:29.000 So you're serious.
00:31:30.000 Quotas have been prohibited in California for 10 years, but police departments are even now facing lawsuits from their own officers alleging that ticket quotas are real.
00:31:40.000 Yeah, there's a law about it in Texas.
00:31:41.000 So maybe it's like a thing where they try...
00:31:44.000 You're like, listen, man.
00:31:45.000 You want to get ahead in this business?
00:31:47.000 I'm sure it is.
00:31:48.000 You got to sell the cleaner.
00:31:50.000 Yeah, I think everything is that.
00:31:52.000 Because, you know, there's always a rule.
00:31:54.000 I always hear that about...
00:31:56.000 Who was I watching?
00:31:58.000 I was watching like, it's either FBI or CIA guy, but they're talking about, or I think it was a CIA guy talking about selling coke to fund the Contra or something like that.
00:32:07.000 They're like, that's illegal, like we're not allowed to do that.
00:32:09.000 And I'm like, you know, the mafia, it was illegal to sell, it was a death penalty if you were caught selling drugs.
00:32:15.000 And yet somehow, A lot of fucking drugs.
00:32:20.000 Very strict penalties.
00:32:21.000 Probably more strict than even agencies.
00:32:24.000 Yeah.
00:32:25.000 Everybody outsources.
00:32:26.000 It's always outsourcing.
00:32:28.000 We don't do, what do you call it, gain of function.
00:32:31.000 We just pay a guy to do it.
00:32:34.000 Yeah, we don't do it.
00:32:34.000 I'm not guilty of that.
00:32:35.000 We don't fund gain of function.
00:32:37.000 We fund the lab.
00:32:38.000 Yeah, so there's always a way around.
00:32:40.000 Remember when they got the torture program and they went to...
00:32:45.000 Sorry, go ahead.
00:32:47.000 But that was like bringing jobs back to America, kind of, in a way, because you just, like, send somebody to a country that does do that.
00:32:52.000 And then, you know, the Second Iraq War, when they made it, like, legal, that was what was so creepy about that, was to make it like, now we can do it.
00:33:04.000 Do you remember Michael Rupert?
00:33:06.000 No.
00:33:06.000 Michael Rupert was a friend of mine.
00:33:08.000 He's a really nice guy.
00:33:10.000 He's like one of the first guys to gift me mushrooms.
00:33:14.000 Randomly as a gift.
00:33:15.000 He was a cop.
00:33:18.000 Who busted the CIA selling crack in South Central and using it to fund the war.
00:33:25.000 Oh, I know who you're talking about.
00:33:27.000 Yeah.
00:33:27.000 And he called it out in a courtroom.
00:33:30.000 Yeah, I saw that.
00:33:31.000 I saw a video of it.
00:33:33.000 Yeah.
00:33:33.000 That's Michael Rupert.
00:33:34.000 Wait, is he alive still?
00:33:36.000 No.
00:33:36.000 Oh, yeah.
00:33:37.000 I was going to say.
00:33:37.000 No, he wasn't.
00:33:40.000 I don't think it's even suspicious.
00:33:41.000 I think he took his own life.
00:33:43.000 I think he was very depressed.
00:33:45.000 Yeah, I bet.
00:33:45.000 I think he was living alone in a trailer on a farm somewhere.
00:33:55.000 He also was the subject of that movie Collapse.
00:33:58.000 You ever see that movie?
00:34:00.000 No.
00:34:00.000 It's a wild movie.
00:34:01.000 And I don't know what the original premise was, but he sits down and he smokes cigarettes through this entire film.
00:34:10.000 It's just a guy talking and talking about the imminent collapse of civilization.
00:34:16.000 I know what you're talking about.
00:34:17.000 Dependence on fossil fuels and just wild shit.
00:34:23.000 I don't know how much of it was accurate, but I know it scared the fuck out of a lot of people.
00:34:28.000 And it was like a really popular documentary.
00:34:30.000 I remember it.
00:34:31.000 It's worth watching.
00:34:32.000 I mean, someone would have to have a knowledge of what he's saying, whether or not it's accurate.
00:34:37.000 But he, for sure, this is the film.
00:34:41.000 Play a trailer.
00:34:42.000 Experience as an investigative journalist, I've broken major scandals.
00:34:45.000 Going out to try and map how the world really worked as opposed to the way we were told it worked.
00:34:51.000 Our map has proven deadly accurate.
00:34:54.000 My economic predictions, we had it so right.
00:34:56.000 In 2006, we said, get out of debt right now.
00:35:00.000 Check your mortgage carefully.
00:35:01.000 We issued a whole series of warnings.
00:35:03.000 There will be nothing like we have ever seen before.
00:35:08.000 Everything that we said was going to happen is taking place right now.
00:35:11.000 Gold prices, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the stock market.
00:35:15.000 It's not that Verdi Madoff was a pyramid scheme.
00:35:18.000 The whole economy is a pyramid scheme.
00:35:21.000 Well, that sounds right.
00:35:22.000 Of course I've been called a conspiracy theorist.
00:35:25.000 But I don't deal in conspiracy theory, I deal in conspiracy fact.
00:35:30.000 The mortal blow to human industrialized civilization will happen when oil prices spike and nobody can afford to buy that oil and everything will just shut down.
00:35:42.000 Unlike the Great Depression, we do not have infinite resources.
00:35:46.000 Nothing grows forever.
00:35:47.000 There is a cycle.
00:35:48.000 Birth, growth, maturation, decline and death.
00:35:55.000 Cars don't run.
00:35:56.000 The mail stops getting delivered.
00:35:57.000 Planes don't fly.
00:35:58.000 Law enforcement stops working.
00:36:00.000 This is all part of the collapse.
00:36:02.000 If you're in a camp and a bear attacks, you don't have to be faster than the bear.
00:36:08.000 You only have to be faster than the slowest camper.
00:36:12.000 The challenge being faced by the human race now is either evolve or perish, grow up or die.
00:36:19.000 You have to believe, not hope, not pray that there's a way out of it and you're gonna find it.
00:36:28.000 He was one of the first guests, you know, back when we were doing guests.
00:36:31.000 First guest that I was very excited to talk to.
00:36:34.000 When was this?
00:36:36.000 That was a while back, man.
00:36:38.000 Let's play this, because this is him on C-SPAN. Play this.
00:36:42.000 Did you notice Variety in all the comments about how great this movie is?
00:36:45.000 Yeah.
00:36:47.000 Imagine today.
00:36:48.000 Today, they'll be like, this is an insane...
00:36:50.000 It's colonizer talk.
00:36:52.000 Yeah, like, that's the creepiest thing is how much they would have loved that message then.
00:36:56.000 And now, while it eerily sounds accurate, it's like, no, this is crazy talk.
00:37:01.000 It's propaganda, yeah.
00:37:04.000 Can you speak further into the mic, sir?
00:37:07.000 These mics don't seem to be...
00:37:09.000 I will tell you, Director Deutsch, as a former Los Angeles police narcotics detective, that the agency has dealt drugs throughout this country for a long time.
00:37:18.000 This is on C-SPAN in 96. It's still there.
00:37:23.000 That's where I'm playing it from.
00:37:30.000 All right.
00:37:32.000 All right.
00:37:34.000 All right.
00:37:34.000 All right.
00:37:35.000 Obviously, that is an answer for a lot of you.
00:37:38.000 Now, can you please?
00:37:39.000 I refer.
00:37:39.000 All right.
00:37:40.000 Now, can you please?
00:37:41.000 I refer direct.
00:37:43.000 Wait, wait, wait.
00:37:46.000 Wait a minute.
00:37:55.000 Wait a minute.
00:37:57.000 Wait a minute here.
00:37:59.000 Wait a minute.
00:38:00.000 If you don't like what's going on here, please leave now.
00:38:05.000 No, no, no.
00:38:06.000 Leave.
00:38:07.000 No, no, no.
00:38:07.000 Leave now because there are others who do want to hear what's going on in this room.
00:38:13.000 Will you please take your seats?
00:38:15.000 I will come back to you as we roll back across to the center section.
00:38:23.000 Director Deutsch, I will refer you to three specific agency operations known as Amadeus, Pegasus, and Watchtower.
00:38:30.000 I have Watchtower documents heavily redacted by the agency.
00:38:34.000 I was personally exposed to CIA operations and recruited by CIA personnel who attempted to recruit me in the late 70s to become involved in protecting agency drug operations in this country.
00:38:45.000 I have been trying to get this out for 18 years, and I have the evidence.
00:38:48.000 My question for you is very specific, sir.
00:38:51.000 If, in the course of the IG's investigations, and Fred Hitz's work, you come across evidence of severely criminal activity, and it's classified, will you use that classification to hide the criminal activity, or will you tell the American people the truth?
00:39:09.000 Whoo!
00:39:17.000 Alright, do you want to hear the response first from Congressman Julian Dixon and then from the director?
00:39:25.000 Wait!
00:39:27.000 Wait a minute!
00:39:28.000 From your...
00:39:29.000 From your...
00:39:30.000 I'm sorry, sir.
00:39:33.000 I will allow the director to speak first.
00:39:36.000 Shout out to that lady for taking control, by the way.
00:39:39.000 Like a boss.
00:39:40.000 Listen to this.
00:39:40.000 If you have information about CIA illegal activity in drugs...
00:39:47.000 You should immediately bring that information to wherever you want, but let me suggest three places.
00:39:54.000 The Los Angeles Police Department.
00:40:04.000 This guy's like something from Columbo.
00:40:07.000 I'm sorry, others want to hear this answer.
00:40:13.000 I am sorry.
00:40:14.000 Others want to hear this answer.
00:40:16.000 It is your choice, the Los Angeles Police Department, the Inspector General, or office of one of your congresspersons from this I did that 18 years ago,
00:40:32.000 sir, and I got shot at for it.
00:40:34.000 Wait a minute.
00:40:34.000 Wait a minute, sir.
00:40:36.000 Wait a minute.
00:40:37.000 Wait a minute.
00:40:39.000 Wait a minute, sir.
00:40:40.000 And?
00:40:41.000 Sir, you have not gotten the mic yet.
00:40:44.000 You are not.
00:40:45.000 But wait a minute, then.
00:40:46.000 Don't speak out of turn.
00:40:47.000 Let me say something else.
00:40:48.000 If this information turns up wrongdoing, if it turns up wrongdoing, We will bring the people to justice and make them accountable.
00:41:04.000 All right, Congressman Dixon.
00:41:07.000 Thank you, sir, for coming.
00:41:10.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute here.
00:41:13.000 I thought you did not want to be here, but now that you are here, please let us hear and listen.
00:41:21.000 Thank you very much.
00:41:24.000 Sir, I want to thank you for coming.
00:41:26.000 You were at the last meeting.
00:41:28.000 The staff probably had the spelling of your name wrong, but we would like to talk to you.
00:41:35.000 We have been looking for a couple of days for you.
00:41:39.000 And we want to...
00:41:44.000 We want to make sure that you contact the committee because obviously you have some valuable information.
00:41:52.000 If you want to give it to me privately, if you want to hand it to that aide where I can contact you this evening, please do it.
00:41:59.000 Don't let us get away without getting a contact for you.
00:42:03.000 Thank you, sir.
00:42:05.000 So everyone can see that I got it, that would be fine.
00:42:08.000 Thank you, sir.
00:42:09.000 And for the record, for the record...
00:42:11.000 Please, please, please keep the noise down so that we can hear and we can get answers.
00:42:19.000 For the record, my name is Mike Rupert, R-U-P-P-E-R-T. I did bring this information out 18 years ago, and I got shot at and forced out of LAPD because of it.
00:42:28.000 I've been on the record for 18 years nonstop, and I'll be happy to give you, Congressman, anything that I have.
00:42:33.000 Thank you, Mr. Rupert.
00:42:37.000 Now, if you were cynical and you're watching that, you're like, I think the CIA faked a CIA guy.
00:42:45.000 Do you think they did?
00:42:47.000 I mean, if you were playing 4D chess, no, I don't think so.
00:42:50.000 I think that's really who he is.
00:42:52.000 I mean, I know the guy.
00:42:53.000 Yeah, because nowadays, I forget the one whose name, what was she?
00:42:59.000 Was she a congressperson?
00:43:04.000 They said it in the description.
00:43:08.000 Because I imagine she would be having him taken out of there so he can't say anything.
00:43:12.000 Today.
00:43:12.000 That's crazy.
00:43:13.000 She's like, hey, let him talk.
00:43:15.000 Well, back then there was no internet.
00:43:16.000 You've got to realize if someone actually had information like that and people suspected it all along, obviously those people weren't shocked.
00:43:23.000 Yeah, right.
00:43:24.000 Right?
00:43:24.000 Those people in the audience are like, what?
00:43:26.000 No way!
00:43:27.000 They're selling drugs.
00:43:28.000 They were like, I fucking knew it!
00:43:30.000 Everyone was like, I fucking knew it!
00:43:32.000 That's what they were yelling out.
00:43:33.000 Did you ever talk to Rick Ross, the real dude?
00:43:35.000 Yes!
00:43:35.000 Yes!
00:43:36.000 The real Rick Ross.
00:43:37.000 Yeah, right.
00:43:37.000 Yeah.
00:43:38.000 That guy's very interesting.
00:43:39.000 He was very interesting.
00:43:40.000 He's the guy who was in charge of selling the drugs in South Central that was funding the Contras versus the Sandinistas.
00:43:47.000 I mean, it's just such, but anyway, you just, you outsource that, and then you have deniability or whatever.
00:43:53.000 That's how that works.
00:43:54.000 That's how it works, and you can make so much money.
00:43:56.000 Or, what would you rather do?
00:43:58.000 Let all these other people make money doing it?
00:44:00.000 These bad people?
00:44:01.000 Yeah, somebody's gotta make that.
00:44:02.000 We have to sell the drugs.
00:44:03.000 If the CIA doesn't sell the drugs, who's gonna sell the drugs?
00:44:06.000 And also for a good cause.
00:44:08.000 Yeah.
00:44:08.000 Imagine if that's how they've been, like, funding things forever.
00:44:12.000 Imagine if you found out that that's how they fund the UFO program.
00:44:16.000 Well, you know, you know what I wonder about that?
00:44:18.000 Because that Bob Lazar episode was very creepy when I watched the thing.
00:44:23.000 But to him talking about it, it was eerie to hear him talk about it.
00:44:26.000 It was very confusing.
00:44:29.000 Because what he's saying is so out there.
00:44:31.000 You don't know.
00:44:32.000 I'm like, I'm definitely a fool.
00:44:34.000 But am I being a fool here?
00:44:36.000 Yeah, no.
00:44:37.000 That's the little eerie part of it.
00:44:39.000 But then who would control...
00:44:41.000 Do you think the president gets to find out about it?
00:44:44.000 Or do you think it's purely...
00:44:45.000 Supposedly Nixon knew.
00:44:47.000 And Nixon took Jackie Gleason.
00:44:48.000 Yeah, I know that.
00:44:50.000 And Jackie Gleason built a house out of the shape of the UFO that he saw, like, to represent the UFO that he saw.
00:44:56.000 And, like, the Jackie Gleason house was for sale just a few years ago.
00:44:59.000 It's in, like, what is it in, like, upstate New York?
00:45:02.000 I found out about this from this dude who gave me the book Best Evidence by David Lifton.
00:45:07.000 He was, like, a guitarist in a band.
00:45:10.000 That's it.
00:45:10.000 That's the UFO-inspired upstate New York house.
00:45:14.000 Look at this fucking house.
00:45:15.000 Wait, that's not that big a house.
00:45:17.000 Well, it wasn't that big a house because he wanted to make it like the fucking UFO. So what it was was...
00:45:22.000 Oh, I see.
00:45:23.000 Multiple properties.
00:45:24.000 Oh, I see.
00:45:25.000 So he just started making UFO houses.
00:45:28.000 Apparently.
00:45:28.000 This is the rumor.
00:45:30.000 What the rumor was was that Jackie Gleason got drunk With Nixon.
00:45:35.000 And Nixon's like, you want to see a fucking flying saucer?
00:45:37.000 He's like, yes.
00:45:39.000 And then they flew to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, I believe, was the rumor.
00:45:43.000 And they showed him, like, we have actually recovered.
00:45:45.000 They had freezers of them, right?
00:45:47.000 I don't know if that's real.
00:45:48.000 I've never heard anybody say that they saw a body and have it be, like, 100% credible.
00:45:55.000 Other than maybe that Travis Walton guy who claims to have been abducted in the 1970s, he's another one of those guys, like, if he's telling the truth.
00:46:04.000 Okay, there were a number of labs we passed through before entered a section.
00:46:07.000 Nixon pointed out what he said was the wreckage of a flying saucer enclosed in several large cases.
00:46:12.000 Next, we went into an inner chamber.
00:46:13.000 There were six or eight what looked like glass-topped Coke freezers inside them with the mangled remains of what I took to be children.
00:46:20.000 Oh, that's right.
00:46:21.000 Yeah, that's the thing I remember from this story.
00:46:23.000 So I'm conflating this with something else.
00:46:26.000 So that's right, they did have fucking supposedly dead frozen ones.
00:46:31.000 The revelation of the US Secretary holding the corpses of dead aliens shook Gleason to the core and he couldn't eat or sleep for weeks.
00:46:38.000 After being confronted by his wife Beverly, Gleason told her the truth about that night and swore her to secrecy, but Jackie and Beverly Gleason were already in the process of separating.
00:46:48.000 The final straw in the relationship would be Beverly breaking her vow and revealing the encounter to the magazine Esquire.
00:47:00.000 Oh, the wife sold him down the river.
00:47:05.000 I wonder what that article...
00:47:06.000 So that article was where this story first came out?
00:47:08.000 Yeah, I guess so.
00:47:09.000 Stung and humiliated by the betrayal, Jackie stayed silent until 1986. Finally ready to talk, he invited Larry Warren, a flying saucer evangelist, author, and eyewitness to the Randall Sam...
00:47:22.000 Oops.
00:47:24.000 Fucking pop-ups.
00:47:25.000 No, I don't want your pop-up.
00:47:26.000 No thanks.
00:47:27.000 Thank you.
00:47:28.000 Where were we?
00:47:32.000 86. Eyewitness to the Rendell Sam Forest UFO incident to his New York home.
00:47:39.000 After a few drinks, Gleason unloaded the whole unbelievable tale to an astonished Warren who spread the story amongst his community.
00:47:47.000 However, the story would end there.
00:47:48.000 Gleason died a year later.
00:48:01.000 Huh.
00:48:10.000 Okay, of course, because this is the blog of Skeptoid and Not Believe Everything.
00:48:18.000 Oh, this is Skeptoid that wrote this.
00:48:19.000 You read on the internoid.
00:48:22.000 The story doesn't end there.
00:48:23.000 In fact, there really is no story.
00:48:25.000 The Richard Nixon, Jackie Gleason, Dead Alien Chronicle, in a glass case tale, now accepted part of UFO internet lore, is based almost entirely on hearsay, coincidence, or an imagination.
00:48:36.000 And not just...
00:48:38.000 The dead alien children in the glass case part.
00:48:41.000 Wait a minute.
00:48:42.000 Why do they say that?
00:48:46.000 What is their reasoning for saying that it's not true?
00:48:50.000 They're saying it's anecdotal, which is obviously it's anecdotal.
00:48:52.000 Scroll up a little bit more.
00:48:54.000 Yeah.
00:48:55.000 So it says, as critical thinkers, we can't dismiss a story out of hand because it's preposterous, but we can dismiss a story if the facts don't fit together.
00:49:03.000 Aha.
00:49:03.000 So let's start with the established facts.
00:49:05.000 Richard Nixon, Jackie Gleason, Beverly Gleason, and Larry Warren were all real people.
00:49:10.000 Beverly and Jackie Gleason were really married.
00:49:12.000 Got divorced at 74, 75. Jackie and Richard Nixon are friends and played golf on a few occasions.
00:49:17.000 Jackie was an enthusiast about paranormal topics with a huge collection of books on the subjects.
00:49:23.000 Florida is a real place.
00:49:25.000 Homestead Air Force Base.
00:49:26.000 Esquire is a real magazine.
00:49:27.000 That's about it.
00:49:27.000 A little investigation into Nixon's daily diary reveals that Nixon was in Key Biscayne in February 1973 for a meeting with the AFL-CIO. He spent less than 40 minutes speaking and glad-handing with guests at Gleason's annual golf tournament at the Invery Golf and Country Club,
00:49:48.000 which...
00:49:49.000 At most ten minutes available to chat with Gleason about UFOs.
00:49:53.000 Nothing else in Nixon's diary indicates that the president did or didn't slip his Secret Service detail and go on an alien adventure with Ralph Cramden.
00:50:01.000 But that doesn't mean he didn't do it.
00:50:03.000 That just means he didn't write about it in his diary.
00:50:05.000 Why would he write about that in his diary?
00:50:07.000 Where the story really starts to fall apart is Beverly Gleason's interview with Esquire because it doesn't appear to exist.
00:50:13.000 Interesting.
00:50:14.000 Yeah, that's what I wanted.
00:50:15.000 The search of both Esquire's archives and internet in general turned up nothing.
00:50:19.000 Hmm.
00:50:20.000 What did turn up, however, was an article supposedly written by Beverly from the National Enquirer dated August 16th in 1983. Discerning readers will note that the Esquire and the Enquirer have different thresholds for veracity and adjust their expectations accordingly.
00:50:35.000 That's a very good sentence right there.
00:50:36.000 Yeah.
00:50:37.000 Well worded.
00:50:39.000 Yeah.
00:50:39.000 So it seems like there was no Esquire article, so that's bullshit.
00:50:44.000 Yeah, Inquirer back then, I remember being closer to Weekly World News, because Inquirer became like celebrity gossip entirely, right?
00:50:51.000 When I was a kid, I remember it having wilder stuff in it.
00:50:54.000 Okay, in short, the piece makes Jackie look like a lunatic, befitting a spurned wife writing a tell-all about her famous ex-husband.
00:51:01.000 But the book wouldn't show Jack as he's never been seen before to anyone because Beverly never published it.
00:51:08.000 The Gleason UFO story got picked up by a few other tabloids, but mostly faded into obscurity.
00:51:15.000 So here's the thing, though.
00:51:17.000 But you could for sure imagine that his ex-wife wanted to sell a book.
00:51:24.000 You could also for sure imagine that Jackie would try to stop that book from being sold.
00:51:29.000 So there's that.
00:51:31.000 Maybe he bought her out.
00:51:33.000 How do we know that she didn't actually write a book?
00:51:36.000 Now, that's also because Nixon didn't write about it in his diary.
00:51:41.000 If Nixon's the fucking kind of guy who likes to get drunk and take people to see UFOs, he's not going to be meticulous about every fucking thing he does all day long.
00:51:49.000 And you don't think that they could hide that?
00:51:51.000 I like that back then he was only really open about recording his racist rants and not his...
00:51:57.000 But dude, back then, fucking Lyndon Johnson used to take a shit in front of the reporters with the door open.
00:52:03.000 So he could see how big his dick was?
00:52:04.000 Well, he was just, like, he didn't give a fuck.
00:52:07.000 And, like, he would have a conversation with y'all, but I gotta take a shit.
00:52:11.000 So he would sit there with his fucking pants down and take a shit in front of them.
00:52:14.000 A guy like that, whatever his fucking diary says, that's probably not all that happened.
00:52:21.000 It's probably a fucking UFO in that diary somewhere.
00:52:24.000 Do you think LBJ would record that he took his shit in front of reporters?
00:52:27.000 Yeah, well, took his shit in front of reporters, just let them know how big my cock is.
00:52:32.000 That supposedly was, he had a thing with that, because he had like a huge, and he would try to like, I can't remember.
00:52:38.000 Rodney had a giant dick too.
00:52:40.000 Dangerfield?
00:52:40.000 Yeah, and he used to do shows with a bathrobe on.
00:52:43.000 Just only a bathrobe.
00:52:45.000 Really?
00:52:45.000 Naked under a bathrobe.
00:52:47.000 It would go out in front of the fucking, I saw him live like that.
00:52:49.000 How do you get the word out?
00:52:50.000 When I was a security guard at Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts when I was 19, and I was backstage, and he was working there, and I couldn't believe I could actually see him.
00:53:06.000 I looked down the corridor, and I saw...
00:53:09.000 I couldn't believe it.
00:53:10.000 It's Roddy Dangerfield.
00:53:11.000 It's really Roddy Dangerfield.
00:53:12.000 It was one of those things as a kid, you're like, fuck, he's right there?
00:53:15.000 Yeah.
00:53:15.000 Like, as a 19-year-old, that doesn't even make sense.
00:53:17.000 I saw Bill Cosby there.
00:53:18.000 Oh, they're gonna tell me you saw his dick.
00:53:20.000 No, no, no.
00:53:20.000 I didn't see his dick.
00:53:21.000 But he was wearing a fucking bathrobe.
00:53:23.000 So this was during the bathrobe days.
00:53:25.000 There was a part in Roddy Dangerfield's career when he had just made it and didn't give a fuck.
00:53:30.000 And he was still partying hard.
00:53:31.000 Was this after Go Back to School?
00:53:32.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:53:33.000 It was after the big movies.
00:53:35.000 And he would do stand-up and just go out there with a fucking bathrobe on.
00:53:38.000 This was also like when he was putting together the Rodney Dangerfield stand-up specials, which were the most important stand-up specials ever.
00:53:45.000 They introduced the world to Bill Hicks, Dice Clay, Sam Kinison, Dom Herrera, Lenny Clark, who else?
00:53:54.000 Wasn't Jerry Seinfeld on those too?
00:53:56.000 I think so.
00:53:57.000 I think so.
00:53:58.000 I'm not sure.
00:53:58.000 Seinfeld might have already been...
00:54:00.000 I think he was already really popular by then.
00:54:02.000 But you look back on the Dangerfield ones, like if you got on that Dangerfield special, that was a fucking stamp of approval.
00:54:10.000 Like, holy shit, you're on the Dangerfield special?
00:54:13.000 That was a big deal.
00:54:14.000 When was that?
00:54:14.000 What was that?
00:54:15.000 80s?
00:54:16.000 Those are like 86-ish.
00:54:18.000 Because I think Kinnison really popped in 86. Yeah.
00:54:21.000 And so it was around that time, because I remember he was fucking murdered on that special.
00:54:27.000 Hicks killed us.
00:54:28.000 Dice murdered on that special.
00:54:29.000 Yeah, right.
00:54:30.000 Those specials, there was a couple of them.
00:54:32.000 They were so big.
00:54:33.000 They were HBO? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:35.000 Rodney Dangerfield's young comedian special.
00:54:37.000 And you knew that if those guys came to the fucking Catch a Rising Star or the improv, you had to go see them.
00:54:44.000 That's how I found out about so many comedians that became some of my favorites.
00:54:49.000 That and the fucking Tonight Show.
00:54:51.000 People forget, the Tonight Show used to be how you found out about a good comic.
00:54:55.000 Wait, did I tell you Keyboard Jeff from Comedy Store?
00:54:58.000 You know Jeff that passed away?
00:54:59.000 Yeah.
00:55:00.000 He told me a story, and I think this has been verified on a podcast, but they were doing Cogan and Richard Pryor Jr. fucked Sam Kinison up the ass, because Sam Kinison said, I gotta know what it's like to be fucked by Richard Pryor Jr., and then he did, and I think Richard Pryor Jr. has told this on a podcast.
00:55:19.000 Mmm, I would imagine that's possible.
00:55:21.000 Yeah, I mean...
00:55:22.000 Sure.
00:55:23.000 That's a wild...
00:55:24.000 You're doing coke?
00:55:25.000 People get crazy.
00:55:26.000 And you surpass the comedy legacy of your father?
00:55:28.000 It is, asshole!
00:55:33.000 Imagine thinking you can get it through DNA. Yeah.
00:55:36.000 Imagine if it was that easy.
00:55:38.000 Like, talented sperm would be so valuable.
00:55:42.000 Like horse sperm, kind of.
00:55:45.000 Oh, my God.
00:55:45.000 Yeah.
00:55:46.000 Laugh at first sight.
00:55:47.000 So this is someone telling the story.
00:55:51.000 Yeah.
00:55:51.000 There's a couple other links for that.
00:55:53.000 Well, there you have it, folks.
00:55:55.000 We've proven that much more than we've proven the Jackie Gleason UFO thing.
00:55:59.000 If only we had that kind of...
00:56:02.000 That kind of anecdotal evidence.
00:56:05.000 That actually ends with it saying it could be true.
00:56:07.000 That whole skeptical thing.
00:56:08.000 The Jackie Gleason thing?
00:56:09.000 Yeah, so there's four possible answers for this, and one of the four was that it could be true.
00:56:13.000 Yeah, that is a possibility.
00:56:15.000 Elvis was a DEA agent after meeting with Nixon.
00:56:18.000 See, this is the thing.
00:56:20.000 We were talking about Bob Lazar, and after I've talked to him, and I've seen all the interviews he's done, I've talked to the detractors, and I've listened to their take on things.
00:56:32.000 I think he worked there, man.
00:56:34.000 I think for sure he worked there.
00:56:36.000 Whether or not he worked there on something that actually came from another planet, that's where it gets weird.
00:56:42.000 People who work there for sure remember him.
00:56:47.000 They've told people they remember him.
00:56:49.000 He knows his way around the buildings.
00:56:53.000 Even Los Alamos Lab, he knows his way around the buildings.
00:56:56.000 Yeah, right.
00:56:57.000 Like, he knows how to navigate the place.
00:56:59.000 So who would know about it?
00:57:00.000 That's the thing I always wonder is, like, with the...
00:57:02.000 Okay, Nixon, I guess.
00:57:04.000 They said he never worked at Los Alamos, but he was on the fucking employee register from that year.
00:57:10.000 If you can go there, you can find it.
00:57:11.000 So they lied.
00:57:12.000 Yeah, well, that makes it suspicious when, like, why do you need to lie about a guy who is making it up?
00:57:17.000 I think he thought they were going to take him out, so he spilled the beans as hard as he could spill the beans.
00:57:24.000 It really is, uh, because, you know, that guy we just watched on C-SPAN, you don't have to come kill you, it can just make you...
00:57:31.000 Make you look nuts.
00:57:32.000 Yeah, and if you just learn about things, it's awful.
00:57:36.000 Like, I started smoking more weed while I was watching that C-SPAN thing.
00:57:40.000 It really is horrible.
00:57:41.000 It's terrifying.
00:57:43.000 I don't recommend it.
00:57:44.000 I know.
00:57:44.000 That's the thing.
00:57:45.000 You're working with Jimmy Dore now.
00:57:46.000 And because you're working with Jimmy Dore, Jimmy's constantly exposing insane corruption that no one's talking about.
00:57:52.000 Constantly.
00:57:53.000 And constantly calling people out.
00:57:55.000 It's all shit that I wouldn't know about because nobody talks about it ever.
00:58:00.000 You don't hear about it.
00:58:01.000 It really is.
00:58:02.000 And it's stuff that...
00:58:04.000 The weird thing I was telling Jamie is it'll be report on something and then I'll notice the other news, YouTube and elsewhere, reporting on it later, like four months later they're talking about it.
00:58:17.000 Like an embargo has been lifted when you're allowed to review the...
00:58:21.000 Things get to a point where they're so prevalent in the news that you kind of have to address them now.
00:58:26.000 There's a thing where if you want to have access to the people, you're going to have to be doing part PR for them, or you're out of the club.
00:58:35.000 So all these people that he's had on, this is what I like about him, is all these people he's had on, if they don't do the thing they said, he brings it up.
00:58:42.000 He doesn't politely, you know, he doesn't do any of that team shit where you're supposed to like, I know this is a lie, but we have to go with it because the bad people could win.
00:58:52.000 They all do that.
00:58:53.000 And that's not journalism.
00:58:55.000 You can't get it from those forms anymore because they're holding water for so many different entities.
00:59:02.000 It's so hard for them to just spit facts.
00:59:06.000 And I think the way you two guys do it together is so refreshing because it's like true.
00:59:11.000 Like you go over facts and details and then you're constantly cracking jokes.
00:59:15.000 It's like there's levity to it.
00:59:18.000 I'm kind of just watching it, laughing.
00:59:22.000 It creates an effect, I think, to have a laughy guy.
00:59:25.000 Well, it's also perfect.
00:59:26.000 Your type of joke writing is perfect for that kind of shit.
00:59:31.000 Yeah, right.
00:59:32.000 You know what I mean?
00:59:32.000 It syncs up.
00:59:33.000 You're a quick Well, if I give him stuff, because I like to have more time for my first angry thoughts to at least try to marinate into clevers because they don't come out.
00:59:45.000 He's good at delivering.
00:59:47.000 Angry and funny at the same time.
00:59:49.000 Yeah, he's very good at delivering that.
00:59:51.000 Rather than tweeting.
00:59:54.000 Right.
00:59:55.000 That's the worst way to do it.
00:59:56.000 Yeah, it's probably the worst way to do it.
00:59:58.000 It's just all context is lost.
01:00:01.000 Everything's lost.
01:00:03.000 It's also like when they talk about people want to take your information.
01:00:07.000 I didn't really understand.
01:00:08.000 It doesn't just mean like a corporation.
01:00:10.000 It means just all kinds of people looking to see if they can find something that they could make a name for talking about that you tweeted.
01:00:18.000 Oh, yeah, for sure.
01:00:18.000 So there's also that.
01:00:20.000 Well, that's a whole ecosystem now, calling people out for things.
01:00:24.000 It's an ecosystem.
01:00:25.000 There's a whole business being destroyed right now.
01:00:28.000 But there's people that that's all they do.
01:00:30.000 You want some more of this?
01:00:31.000 Yeah.
01:00:32.000 That's all they do is call people out.
01:00:35.000 That's their only contribution, which is great.
01:00:38.000 I can't believe how much that became the real news.
01:00:41.000 Because they don't want to pay to do journalism, so all the people that just got their start doing that moved up through the ranks into real news.
01:00:49.000 Yeah.
01:00:50.000 Bizarre.
01:00:51.000 And then it functions like real news.
01:00:53.000 That's how real news functions.
01:00:55.000 And also, you know, when the rise of these independent things like Jimmy Show and Crystal and Kyle and Sagar...
01:01:04.000 You know these people who are trustworthy like you could you could count on them to give you information They have opinions and perspective and they might have their own biases But they're not liars and they don't own they're not owned by a lot of them a lot of them do get money for you be surprised It's been very surprising who gets money from what since I've been I don't think any of those guys do the guys that I just mentioned well Jimmy doesn't All the Ukraine stuff,
01:01:29.000 here's what's really creepy to me, is it's all slow to mention how fucked up the Ukraine situation is.
01:01:39.000 And the other really eerie thing is, I remember this before I did anything with Jimmy's show, like in 2018, they were constantly reporting on Ukraine's got a Nazi problem.
01:01:48.000 That was a huge, on all the major things they were saying.
01:01:52.000 And corruption, deep, deep corruption.
01:01:55.000 Yeah, and so now, if you look at New York Times, he showed it, the celebrated Azov battalion.
01:02:01.000 They've even dropped saying the Nazi part.
01:02:04.000 Did you see the thing of Jon Stewart hanging the medal on the Nazis' neck at Disney World with a Mickey Mouse behind him?
01:02:09.000 No.
01:02:10.000 What?
01:02:10.000 Yeah, that's one of the ones we did.
01:02:12.000 The guy covered it up.
01:02:13.000 Oh, are we talking about sketch?
01:02:15.000 No.
01:02:15.000 What do you mean?
01:02:16.000 In real life.
01:02:17.000 Hold on.
01:02:18.000 Explain that.
01:02:18.000 What did you...
01:02:19.000 It was like the Warrior Games at Disney World and a hero, an Azov hero...
01:02:26.000 One, like, best guy on the team.
01:02:28.000 I don't know how there's time to go to Disney World, but Jon Stewart hangs a medal on his neck, and he's got a red...
01:02:33.000 In the photo, he's got a red thing covering it up.
01:02:35.000 It's one of those Black Sun, you know, the Himmler...
01:02:38.000 I think it's like the occult thing, right?
01:02:40.000 He's got that on his elbow.
01:02:41.000 What?
01:02:41.000 So, yeah.
01:02:43.000 That's a very...
01:02:45.000 Oh, there he is.
01:02:46.000 Yeah, okay.
01:02:46.000 That's the guy.
01:02:48.000 But look at the picture of the guy in the hospital.
01:02:52.000 Sweet make-a-wish kid with a black son.
01:02:55.000 Is that real?
01:02:56.000 Yeah.
01:02:57.000 The thing is creepy is all the regular news reported this up until, abruptly, now it doesn't come up.
01:03:04.000 Which I can understand if we were at war.
01:03:07.000 So he had something covering up his arm?
01:03:09.000 Yeah, so he's got a thing covering it up.
01:03:10.000 So he had a thing to cover up his tattoo.
01:03:13.000 Yeah, but...
01:03:14.000 Wow.
01:03:15.000 I mean, holy shit.
01:03:16.000 Walt Disney's dream coming true.
01:03:21.000 Yeah.
01:03:22.000 Is that wild?
01:03:22.000 Well, did you ever see the thing that happened with Candace Owens?
01:03:25.000 No.
01:03:26.000 Where Candace Owens was talking about how corrupt the New York Times is.
01:03:28.000 The New York Times tried to play gotcha with her.
01:03:30.000 Oh, really?
01:03:31.000 And they said, what are you referring to?
01:03:34.000 Like, what references?
01:03:35.000 And she goes, your own fucking newspaper.
01:03:37.000 And she sent them all these links from like 2017 from the New York Times talking about how corrupt Ukraine is.
01:03:44.000 There's like a...
01:03:46.000 When a narrative shifts like that, and you don't say, what Russia's doing is absolutely horrific.
01:03:52.000 Yeah, right.
01:03:52.000 No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
01:03:54.000 Right.
01:03:54.000 But...
01:03:55.000 This is a place that is also...
01:03:57.000 Those people don't deserve that.
01:03:59.000 The people that are citizens there, they don't deserve bombing.
01:04:01.000 That's not what I'm saying.
01:04:02.000 What I'm saying is the government has always been criticized there, and now it's not.
01:04:08.000 No, now it's...
01:04:09.000 This is my favorite.
01:04:11.000 I've heard this line three times.
01:04:13.000 Yeah, it's corrupt, but they're trying.
01:04:15.000 I've heard that over and over again.
01:04:16.000 They don't deserve to be attacked.
01:04:18.000 I think there's a lot of parts...
01:04:21.000 Yeah, there shouldn't be a...
01:04:23.000 None of this should be happening, but there's some kind of proxy thing here.
01:04:26.000 It's very weird that we spent more on this than Russia spent doing the invasion.
01:04:31.000 We now surpassed what Russia has spent.
01:04:33.000 But what about this FTX thing?
01:04:35.000 Oh, yeah, well...
01:04:36.000 That's where it gets crazy.
01:04:38.000 Which I love is they're all reporting on, like, how could this happen?
01:04:41.000 Like, you know, he would play League of Legends while he's on the phone doing a $20 million deal.
01:04:46.000 And then, who was it?
01:04:48.000 Goldman Sachs?
01:04:49.000 Somebody's like, I love this kid.
01:04:50.000 They all think it's great.
01:04:52.000 How could they think it's great?
01:04:53.000 Because he's a rich kid with connected parents.
01:04:56.000 If he was just some jerk off off the street who looked like that, they wouldn't be like, oh, this is great.
01:05:01.000 Well, his mom was a big Democratic Party operative, right?
01:05:05.000 Wasn't she something along those lines?
01:05:06.000 Yeah, also MIT. The guy at the SEC that he would talk to was an MIT professor.
01:05:10.000 Hold on.
01:05:10.000 Go back, Jamie.
01:05:11.000 What did you just show me?
01:05:12.000 I was trying to find the actual thing, and that wasn't it, but this is what he was talking about.
01:05:15.000 Crypto's biggest crash saw a guy playing League of Legends while luring investors.
01:05:19.000 So while he was playing this fucking game while he was talking to the investors?
01:05:24.000 If you just pay a bunch of money to the media, which is what he did, they'll just write things about how great you are.
01:05:31.000 That's the other thing.
01:05:32.000 He donated.
01:05:32.000 He was a jerk-off.
01:05:33.000 They'll write your...
01:05:35.000 Because there's only two kinds of stories.
01:05:36.000 My friend, I used to work with...
01:05:37.000 She told me it's either puff, outrage.
01:05:40.000 It's like puff pieces or hit pieces.
01:05:41.000 That's all they do.
01:05:42.000 Because that's how you get people to look at it and whatever.
01:05:46.000 That's all they can do.
01:05:46.000 So you can bribe these companies to do puff pieces.
01:05:50.000 That's what he did.
01:05:51.000 Isn't that wild?
01:05:52.000 The guy from Shark Tank that...
01:05:55.000 They asked him, he's like, I'd work with him again.
01:05:57.000 Well, I think he was actually one of the guys that got paid, too.
01:06:00.000 Of course!
01:06:00.000 I think he's one of the spokespeople, wasn't he?
01:06:02.000 Yeah.
01:06:03.000 Kevin O'Leary?
01:06:04.000 He had to give some fun disclosures on that video where he's like, before we get started on this, let me tell you that all my business accounts are involved in FTX and I've invested in it.
01:06:11.000 Dude, there's a video of him on Shark Tank tearing apart some guy who brought a Ponzi scheme to him.
01:06:17.000 Oh, no.
01:06:18.000 In fact, what did I say?
01:06:19.000 I think it's CoffeeZilla.
01:06:20.000 Maybe he believes in this kid.
01:06:22.000 Yeah, but he does it's just if you know the right people and you're that his brother works with like a Gap or something a guard against pandemics every single thing that you would see Did you see what the young lady said she posted it on Twitter about her regular amphetamine use?
01:06:38.000 Oh, they're checking people's make life.
01:06:41.000 What does she say makes real life seem silly?
01:06:44.000 See if you can find out what her post was but she was talking on Twitter about a How consuming amphetamines on a regular basis made non-medicated life seem dumb.
01:06:56.000 Oh, no shit!
01:06:58.000 Do you see the obvious things they're saying?
01:07:03.000 Nothing like regular amphetamine used to make you appreciate how dumb a lot of normal non-medicated human experience is.
01:07:10.000 That is a hilarious thing to say from someone who, in April 5th of 2021, is responsible for how much money?
01:07:18.000 Dude, but you know what's crazy?
01:07:20.000 They're all whacked out on legal prescription drugs.
01:07:23.000 Yeah, yeah, they're whacked out on...
01:07:24.000 There's another thing that he was taking in a transdermal patch.
01:07:27.000 He was taking Schledgeline or something like that.
01:07:30.000 I just watched that dude.
01:07:32.000 He's like a weightlifter guy.
01:07:33.000 More dates, yeah.
01:07:34.000 More plates, more dates, Derek.
01:07:35.000 Boy, that guy knows all the chemicals.
01:07:36.000 Was he like a chemical engineer?
01:07:38.000 No, man.
01:07:39.000 He's just fucking super smart and reads research.
01:07:41.000 I know.
01:07:42.000 It's so funny when people are like...
01:07:43.000 I thought he was a chemist.
01:07:45.000 Everybody I ever knew that was some kind of fitness freak knew a lot of shit about they weren't like stupid people that shouldn't do research They were way ahead of everyone else I knew You know how like Weightlifting supplements.
01:07:58.000 Oh yeah, man.
01:07:58.000 Listen, I know a lot of people that know a lot of shit about when you should eat for the maximum amount of absorption of the protein.
01:08:06.000 Yeah, right.
01:08:06.000 How many grams per pound of body weight you have to take.
01:08:09.000 That kid with that fledgling, that's amazing.
01:08:12.000 A kid that out of shape is like weightlifter knowledge of nootropics.
01:08:17.000 Yeah.
01:08:18.000 A bodybuilder guy?
01:08:20.000 That's his body.
01:08:21.000 His body is his mind.
01:08:22.000 His body is just carrying his mind around.
01:08:24.000 What are the effects he said it does?
01:08:25.000 Where it makes you enjoy doing boring work or something?
01:08:30.000 Yeah, I think it was something along those lines.
01:08:33.000 Find Derek's video on it, because Derek describes it.
01:08:36.000 But the Sledgling one, he had a nicotine patch.
01:08:39.000 It was like a patch.
01:08:40.000 So you're just like getting that slow drip of whatever the fuck that sludging stuff is all day.
01:08:43.000 That stuff stays in you for a while.
01:08:45.000 Those kind of things, those ones where it stays for a while, you can't just go off it.
01:08:48.000 Or a transdermal?
01:08:50.000 Yeah.
01:08:50.000 Not the patch.
01:08:52.000 I don't know.
01:08:53.000 It's a 20 minute video.
01:08:54.000 I don't know what the part would be.
01:08:56.000 Maybe...
01:08:57.000 Just start it.
01:08:57.000 Yeah, right there.
01:08:58.000 That's the stuff.
01:08:59.000 That's the stuff.
01:09:00.000 M. Sam.
01:09:01.000 This.
01:09:03.000 Okay, so he's gonna go, he has his medical disclaimer.
01:09:06.000 He's smart about the way he handles stuff.
01:09:08.000 Sup guys, Derek, moralpolatesmortadates.com.
01:09:10.000 Today we're talking about Sam Bankman-Fried and his nootropic use, his drug use, his cognitive enhancing, dopaminergic enhancing drugs that he's using to stay cognitively fucking dialed, dude, for being the hyperproductive entrepreneur that he is,
01:09:26.000 bro.
01:09:27.000 So, if you haven't seen I'm sure you've probably seen, if you're clicking this, the FTX debacle.
01:09:32.000 He's all in the news and has been for a minute now.
01:09:35.000 Crypto fears.
01:09:36.000 Contagion is billions owed to creditors.
01:09:38.000 Sam Bankman-Fried becomes an ESG truth teller.
01:09:42.000 FTX fires three of Sam Bankman-Fried's top deputies.
01:09:45.000 Celebs like Tom Brady, Larry David did ads for crypto giant FTX. Now they're getting sued.
01:09:49.000 Sam Bankman-Fried says fuck regulators.
01:09:58.000 So apparently this guy went from a billionaire to nothing essentially overnight from this complete disaster of a situation.
01:10:06.000 If you want some insight onto exactly what happened, check out CoffeeZilla.
01:10:10.000 High quality information on a regular basis in a highly entertaining format.
01:10:15.000 Highly recommend his channel for anything crypto scam related essentially.
01:10:19.000 Or anything financials.
01:10:21.000 You know who has a good thing on FTX that is not making any conclusions?
01:10:25.000 This guy, Upper Echelon Games.
01:10:27.000 I watched a really good...
01:10:28.000 It's actually great.
01:10:30.000 I can't remember what it is, but it's about FTX when it fell, and he doesn't claim anything.
01:10:34.000 He just shows...
01:10:35.000 It's worth watching.
01:10:37.000 That other guy, the guy who was the head dog at Google?
01:10:41.000 Was it Google or Facebook?
01:10:42.000 Chamath?
01:10:44.000 Where was he from?
01:10:45.000 Is he from Google, right?
01:10:47.000 I think he runs a venture capital fund.
01:10:49.000 I don't know.
01:10:50.000 He probably used to work there.
01:10:51.000 Wasn't he like the top guy of Google?
01:10:54.000 Anyway, he's a billionaire and he really understands it.
01:10:57.000 And he actually reached out to them, contacted them and said, you know, you should form a board.
01:11:03.000 And they told him to go fuck himself.
01:11:05.000 That's literally what they said.
01:11:06.000 Go fuck yourself.
01:11:08.000 He was like, he's a fucking billionaire financial guy who actually understands how money works.
01:11:13.000 And he said, this is what you guys gotta do.
01:11:15.000 And they're like, go fuck yourself.
01:11:17.000 Do you think the new tropics were making them arrogant?
01:11:20.000 They're on speed all day, man.
01:11:22.000 These guys are jacked up on speed and making billions.
01:11:25.000 And they're fucking each other.
01:11:26.000 All of them.
01:11:26.000 All nine of them.
01:11:28.000 And a house in the Bahamas just smells like nerd fucking.
01:11:30.000 Just nerd fucking.
01:11:32.000 Just taking Mountain Dew and Sledgeline, using a trackball.
01:11:36.000 These tweets on the side of this are crazy.
01:11:38.000 That's probably what he's talking about.
01:11:39.000 What's he saying?
01:11:40.000 It says, like, M. Sam has fatal side effects when eating with meat products.
01:11:44.000 Yeah.
01:11:45.000 Oh, so is that why he's a vegan?
01:11:46.000 Pathological gambling and hypersexuality.
01:11:47.000 Yeah, it's that fearlessness.
01:11:49.000 Pathological gambling and hypersexuality.
01:11:51.000 Have you heard of this before?
01:11:53.000 I've heard of this with other drugs.
01:11:54.000 Whoa!
01:11:55.000 Well, one of them, Re-Equip.
01:11:58.000 You know what Re-Equip is?
01:11:59.000 No.
01:11:59.000 Re-Equip is a Parkinson's drug that got pulled from the market.
01:12:03.000 That's what this is.
01:12:04.000 Is that what it is?
01:12:05.000 Yeah.
01:12:05.000 This is Re-Equip?
01:12:06.000 It says it's developed to treat depression or Parkinson's and is off-label alertness and focus benefits.
01:12:11.000 But is it the same drug?
01:12:12.000 Is it Re-Equip?
01:12:13.000 I'll check.
01:12:14.000 It could be Re-Equip.
01:12:14.000 Maybe.
01:12:14.000 Find out if it's the same thing as Re-Equip.
01:12:16.000 Because Re-Equip, they lost a court case where a guy became a gay sex and gambling addict.
01:12:23.000 I remember that!
01:12:24.000 He was a heterosexual guy with Parkinson's.
01:12:26.000 He had a little bit of a shake, and so he starts taking this drug, and he just can't stop sucking cock and rolling dice.
01:12:31.000 He's just out there, compulsive behavior, wildly compulsive, like finding people on ads and just fucking them, and they fuck him, and wild shit.
01:12:41.000 He couldn't believe what he was doing.
01:12:42.000 He just lost his fucking mind.
01:12:44.000 And they attributed it to the drug.
01:12:46.000 I remember that.
01:12:47.000 I think he got hundreds of thousands of dollars in the settlement.
01:12:50.000 Well, there was an ad.
01:12:52.000 I can't remember what drug it was for, and I remember hearing it.
01:12:55.000 I want to say it was an antidepressant, but you would hear, like, if you feel a sudden urge to gamble, contact your dog.
01:13:01.000 Like, that's an odd...
01:13:02.000 But with this guy, it's crazy because I don't know that there were other cases that were similar.
01:13:08.000 I just heard of this one.
01:13:09.000 The gambling thing must have happened.
01:13:10.000 If they're saying that on the commercial, that must have happened a lot.
01:13:13.000 But is it the same drug?
01:13:14.000 Are we talking about the same drug?
01:13:16.000 Or is it other drugs that make you gamble, too?
01:13:18.000 Any of those ones that are, you know, with the suicidal ideation or whatever they call it happens, there's something that inhibits your fear.
01:13:28.000 Your anxiety about all kinds of things, but it could be for death, too.
01:13:34.000 You're supposed to be afraid of taking your own life.
01:13:38.000 Well, also taking other people's lives.
01:13:40.000 That's the correlation, not causation, that people make with psych drugs and shooters.
01:13:46.000 Yeah, well, Tom Cruise, when he said Matt Lauer was being glib, I laughed, but you know what?
01:13:50.000 Matt Lauer was being glib.
01:13:52.000 Well, Matt Lauer thought that he was informed.
01:13:55.000 Because that's what we were told.
01:13:57.000 We were told that there's a chemical imbalance.
01:13:59.000 And it turns out that that's not based on anything.
01:14:01.000 Like, that whole thing about people that are depressed have a chemical imbalance?
01:14:05.000 Yeah.
01:14:06.000 It's in the commercial.
01:14:07.000 I forgot.
01:14:08.000 They go, it's thought to work this way.
01:14:10.000 Their wording is legally, not that they know this, they go, we think it works.
01:14:14.000 And it was right in the commercial.
01:14:15.000 And I didn't remember that from the commercials.
01:14:17.000 I think they're allowed to say, we think it works that way.
01:14:21.000 But I think now they know that that's not necessarily the case.
01:14:26.000 What is the case now when they say...
01:14:28.000 So the statement used to be that there was like a measurable chemical imbalance that certain people had that was leading them to be depressed.
01:14:36.000 And now they're saying that's not something they can measure.
01:14:40.000 Isn't that correct?
01:14:41.000 Yeah.
01:14:42.000 Well, I don't know.
01:14:42.000 Find out what that is.
01:14:43.000 An article came out where they said like...
01:14:46.000 They said that's not true.
01:14:48.000 It was based...
01:14:49.000 Well, there's a lot of...
01:14:50.000 Really crazy ones you find out.
01:14:51.000 Like the amyloid plaque one with Alzheimer's?
01:14:55.000 Yeah.
01:14:55.000 Turns out it was horseshit.
01:14:56.000 It was based on fraudulent data.
01:14:58.000 Oh, I didn't hear that.
01:15:00.000 It's based on fraud.
01:15:02.000 Popular theory about depression wasn't debunked by a new review.
01:15:05.000 So it wasn't debunked.
01:15:06.000 This is from technologynetworks.com.
01:15:12.000 So psychiatry gave up on the chemical imbalance theory a long time ago, they're saying.
01:15:17.000 So they're saying maybe it's a common thought and they're saying it like it was a recent thing, but it wasn't.
01:15:25.000 The review published by international research team including first author...
01:15:30.000 Professor Joanna Moncrief aimed to assess the available evidence for and against the serotonin theory of depression systematically.
01:15:39.000 The team explained this theory near the start of the paper.
01:15:42.000 The theory is the idea that depression is the result of abnormalities in brain chemicals, particularly serotonin.
01:15:49.000 The theory has been around for decades, but their overreaching conclusion is that That it is not correct, given that there appears to be no link between measurable serotonin concentration and depression.
01:16:01.000 Okay.
01:16:02.000 The reaction of many academics, briefly as obviously, in comments, UK-based Science Media Center, Dr. Michael...
01:16:10.000 Oh, wait a minute.
01:16:11.000 This is some kind of, I'll bet you this is some industry fucking thing.
01:16:16.000 Because all they're saying is, oh no, no mental health professional says that.
01:16:20.000 But people think that.
01:16:22.000 Yeah, but scroll back up again.
01:16:23.000 I want to finish what he's saying.
01:16:24.000 So he says, the findings from this umbrella review are really unsurprising.
01:16:29.000 Depression has lots of different symptoms, and I don't think I've met any serious scientists or psychiatrists who think that all causes of depression are caused by a simple chemical imbalance in serotonin.
01:16:39.000 But that's not what they're saying.
01:16:41.000 They're saying they do say sometimes that there's a chemical imbalance in serotonin that causes depression.
01:16:48.000 People have always said that.
01:16:49.000 So if that's what people were saying, they're not saying that's the only reason why you're depressed.
01:16:54.000 See how he's wording this?
01:16:56.000 But they market it to you.
01:16:58.000 But who's they?
01:17:00.000 The company, well, okay, I don't remember the name of the drug, but the old commercial I saw played, and so they're saying right there, we think it's out.
01:17:07.000 They're not guaranteeing it in the commercial, but everyone I knew remembers it as, oh, it's that simplified thing that they're all saying, none of them were ever saying.
01:17:14.000 Well, maybe they weren't in charge of marketing, but the people in charge of marketing were making it seem very much like that's the thing.
01:17:20.000 So there's different doctors.
01:17:22.000 Scroll back up.
01:17:23.000 There's different doctors who do a better job of explaining it.
01:17:25.000 This guy, or better to me, rather.
01:17:28.000 Dr. Professor Phil Cohen.
01:17:31.000 Cowan or Cohen?
01:17:32.000 I'm not sure.
01:17:33.000 They're saying what I'm saying.
01:17:34.000 Professor of psychopharmacology at the University of Oxford said no mental health professional would currently endorse the view that a complex heterogeneous condition like depression stems from a deficiency in a single neurotransmitter.
01:17:47.000 So he's saying that it's probably more things.
01:17:49.000 Do you see down there what it says?
01:17:51.000 That it was heavily pushed by drug companies?
01:17:53.000 Yes.
01:17:55.000 So that's exactly that.
01:17:57.000 Where does it say it?
01:17:57.000 Read that.
01:17:58.000 Uh...
01:18:00.000 Yeah, okay.
01:18:34.000 That's from the commercial.
01:18:35.000 I remember that.
01:18:37.000 And so there's all these maybes and we don't knows, but you don't remember that.
01:18:41.000 You just remember, oh, that's what causes it.
01:18:43.000 Exactly.
01:18:43.000 I saw an animated diagram of what causes it.
01:18:46.000 So they're not totally lying.
01:18:48.000 It's just the way Wormy advertise.
01:18:50.000 It's so gross.
01:18:52.000 That's the thing.
01:18:53.000 Ask your doctor.
01:18:54.000 Yeah.
01:18:55.000 Oh, okay.
01:18:57.000 That's fucking crazy.
01:18:59.000 And your doctor's supposed to be telling you what you should take, and you're asking your doctor about these things.
01:19:04.000 And then all of a sudden, there's a big panic of like, wait, don't ask your doctor about these ones right now.
01:19:09.000 Oh, yeah.
01:19:09.000 They've been telling people to ask their doctor, and all of a sudden, but don't even look...
01:19:13.000 Not the off-label stuff.
01:19:15.000 Can't make any money off of that.
01:19:16.000 Who would ever use things off-label?
01:19:19.000 Isn't it wild?
01:19:19.000 What is he using?
01:19:20.000 Parkinson medicine to steal your money back?
01:19:24.000 You know what that is?
01:19:25.000 It's an affinity scam like, you know, Madoff preyed on a lot of Jewish people because they trusted him.
01:19:30.000 It's called an affinity scam when you try to prey on a fellow something.
01:19:35.000 And this kid, that's an affinity scam of fellow connected rich people.
01:19:39.000 They all trust.
01:19:40.000 Oh, his pedigree is impeccable of his family's connections.
01:19:46.000 Someone was trying to explain to me Epstein, and we were talking about it, the Epstein Island thing, like, why would people go there?
01:19:53.000 And I'm like, because other people were there.
01:19:54.000 Bill Clinton's there.
01:19:56.000 But it's also, if you're like, fucking Bill Clinton's there, for sure we're safe.
01:19:59.000 This is the place to go.
01:19:59.000 Him and Tony Blair, they'll show up at anything if you give them the right amount of money.
01:20:04.000 They'll sit with this kid in board shorts and, like, unkempt hair and talk about crypto.
01:20:08.000 But that is one of the wildest things that Epstein did, is get all those prominent people to go.
01:20:12.000 And it's not just guilt by association, it's also, like, it's a greeting card for all the other people.
01:20:19.000 Yeah.
01:20:20.000 Like, have you ever been invited to a party and they'll tell you someone famous is gonna go?
01:20:24.000 Yes!
01:20:24.000 It's a weird thing.
01:20:25.000 That's a honey trap.
01:20:26.000 Like, hey, if you go, Drew Carey might be there.
01:20:28.000 Like, Oh, Drew Carey might be there.
01:20:30.000 I might be there too then.
01:20:31.000 I'd like to meet Drew Carey.
01:20:33.000 And plus, you know all the famous gift baskets at award shows?
01:20:37.000 Sure!
01:20:39.000 Celebs love getting hooked up.
01:20:41.000 That's a thing.
01:20:42.000 Of any of the things that's a good side effect of if you're in any kind of show business, when you get hooked up, you're like, oh, I could go backstage at a thing.
01:20:50.000 Get free Ray-Bans.
01:20:51.000 Yeah, so at all levels, they love that.
01:20:54.000 At all levels.
01:20:55.000 Yeah.
01:20:56.000 There used to be a place you'd go for these award shows, and there was these tents.
01:21:01.000 That's the first time I met Ice Cube.
01:21:03.000 I was like, what's up, Ice Cube?
01:21:04.000 We were both in this fucking stupid tent.
01:21:06.000 And they were giving away all kinds of shit, man.
01:21:09.000 They were giving away fucking trips to places, free trips.
01:21:14.000 They give you free trips.
01:21:15.000 They give you jewelry.
01:21:16.000 Yeah.
01:21:16.000 This is for what?
01:21:17.000 For whatever.
01:21:18.000 Some stupid award show.
01:21:19.000 I don't even remember which one it was.
01:21:21.000 I remember the Emmys.
01:21:21.000 I got a free basket, but I wasn't getting the whatever primo Emmy thing, but I got that t-shirt of Bruce Lee as a DJ. Yes, yes.
01:21:32.000 It's like a $600 t-shirt.
01:21:34.000 Is it really?
01:21:34.000 Absolutely.
01:21:35.000 It was something like that.
01:21:37.000 I remember seeing it in Iron Man.
01:21:40.000 Tony Stark is wearing it.
01:21:42.000 It was all that kind of stuff.
01:21:44.000 Oh, inside.
01:21:45.000 They would custom make you a pair of shoes.
01:21:47.000 I never bothered to go take my handmade shoe coupon.
01:21:52.000 Yeah, they always did that stuff.
01:21:55.000 It might have been the Emmys, but I went to a few of those things.
01:21:59.000 I had to go to one of those when Phil Hartman was nominated for an Emmy.
01:22:05.000 Oh, really?
01:22:05.000 And this was after he was murdered.
01:22:07.000 So the whole cast of NewsRadio is sitting in the audience, just hoping that Phil's going to win.
01:22:13.000 And Phil didn't win.
01:22:15.000 The dude from Frasier won.
01:22:16.000 And Dave Foley turns to me and goes, what the fuck does a guy have to do to win?
01:22:20.000 LAUGHTER Wow.
01:22:27.000 Dude, Dave only in the moment, one of the fucking sharpest guys ever.
01:22:30.000 I think he's funny, I do, man.
01:22:32.000 And the way he said it, the way he looked at me, it was like perfect timing.
01:22:35.000 You know, that kid's in the whole movie with the drug company, there's a lot of like weirdly ahead of it.
01:22:41.000 Oh, yeah.
01:22:42.000 In fact, they got a lot of weird ahead of their time stuff.
01:22:44.000 Yeah, and like The Simpsons in a way.
01:22:46.000 Yeah, they had a whole thing, like they predicted the woke takeover in like 1993. Oh yeah, we just played that art class one.
01:22:54.000 Yeah, it's fucking crazy!
01:22:55.000 You know, I just realized the ultimate gift basket for celebs is the one FTX did, which is a shit ton of money.
01:23:01.000 Yeah, that's the best.
01:23:02.000 That's better than a designer t-shirt.
01:23:05.000 If that guy didn't go to war with that other guy, that's what happened, right?
01:23:10.000 That dude dumped all of his coins.
01:23:13.000 He sold all of his coins and they really couldn't cover it.
01:23:16.000 That was his rival.
01:23:19.000 Yeah, he had a whole back door installed in that, so his kind of house, one girlfriend or whatever she is, ran Alameda Research.
01:23:28.000 Right.
01:23:29.000 And then they had some back door.
01:23:30.000 They funneled off like $10 billion into that.
01:23:32.000 The whole thing is so wild.
01:23:34.000 They were just on speed, playing with fake money.
01:23:37.000 It's so funny to watch the videos where it's obvious, and all you need is people to be on board.
01:23:43.000 Yeah.
01:23:44.000 If all the right people are on board, that's all it takes.
01:23:47.000 It's like the Epstein Island thing.
01:23:48.000 Yeah, everyone, it's like, everything's to train you to get to be, like, you don't really get to pick if you say whatever your politics, right?
01:23:56.000 Right.
01:23:57.000 Whatever you would call yourself, you don't get to decide that.
01:23:59.000 Like, we'll let you know what you are.
01:24:01.000 Right.
01:24:02.000 You could decide maybe a gender.
01:24:03.000 You go ahead and pick out a gender, honey.
01:24:05.000 But you're not getting to pick...
01:24:06.000 Everything else about your identity will be assigned to you from now on.
01:24:09.000 You can only...
01:24:10.000 Even that can only be assigned if it's convenient.
01:24:12.000 You see what happened with the non-binary shooter?
01:24:15.000 Oh, yeah.
01:24:16.000 And then the transgender person on television says, I could tell by looking at them that that's a man.
01:24:21.000 Well, what do they do in that situation?
01:24:24.000 We played it on Jimmy's show.
01:24:26.000 That is such a crazy thing to say.
01:24:28.000 That is against everything you supposedly stand for.
01:24:31.000 Did you see initially?
01:24:32.000 So it's Al Franken, some other white guy, the reporter, the woman, and then I can't remember the black guy's name, but she's like first hearing the non-binary thing.
01:24:44.000 So now they're in a bad spot because you're supposed to immediately go along with that.
01:24:48.000 Right.
01:24:49.000 And they're resistant.
01:24:51.000 And this is like really screwing up their narrative of whatever they were going to say this person was, right?
01:24:58.000 And so they had to turn the black guy, because they're like, I hope...
01:25:00.000 Because we're white, like we can't say anything.
01:25:03.000 Like, I hope this is enough of a shield for us to say we don't want to accept that this shooter is non-binary.
01:25:09.000 And then they had to get...
01:25:11.000 A trans woman would come and go, he doesn't look non-binary to me.
01:25:14.000 It's just so crazy to say.
01:25:16.000 The whole rule is set up that way.
01:25:18.000 In fact, I first heard about from that guy Adam Curry on here, ESG, a long time ago.
01:25:23.000 Yes.
01:25:24.000 And I was like, oh, is that what that is?
01:25:26.000 Because I was wondering, we're all this bizarre...
01:25:28.000 It sounds like it's a tax write-off.
01:25:32.000 They must be making money in some way or getting a grant to do this.
01:25:36.000 Yeah, that's what it is.
01:25:37.000 It's exactly what it is.
01:25:38.000 Yeah.
01:25:39.000 It's wild.
01:25:40.000 That's what FTX did.
01:25:41.000 They're profiting off of a mind virus.
01:25:44.000 You could juke the numbers however you want if you pay into it.
01:25:47.000 I like your personal carbon footprint.
01:25:50.000 And it sounds good.
01:25:51.000 You're trying to make the world a better place, a more equitable place, a beautiful place, a more just place, a more diverse place.
01:25:56.000 He said that openly and also that it was bullshit openly to someone he thought was giving him a favorable article.
01:26:05.000 Because they're all really, really kid gloves with this FDX kid.
01:26:10.000 He must have paid out...
01:26:11.000 It is weird how they're kid gloves with him, right?
01:26:13.000 Like some places not at all, and other places like trying to paint him as a person who just made mistakes.
01:26:20.000 The whole point of giving somebody a shit ton of money is not so you have to give them orders of what to...
01:26:25.000 They just have an insight.
01:26:27.000 He's one of the good ones.
01:26:28.000 I know we hate billionaires here, but this guy gave us like...
01:26:32.000 Millions?
01:26:33.000 Yeah.
01:26:34.000 He duked out millions.
01:26:35.000 Doesn't Bill Gates do that too?
01:26:37.000 Doesn't he donate like millions and millions of dollars to these media organizations?
01:26:41.000 Because he used to be a hated guy.
01:26:43.000 Well, he still is by some.
01:26:44.000 But I mean, in the media, I remember that when he was like a bad guy, you know, when they had the antitrust.
01:26:49.000 Right.
01:26:50.000 And now they can't say enough.
01:26:52.000 And then you find all these things, like Common, I don't have kids, so I remember Common Core came out and I would just hear everybody complaining about Common Core.
01:27:01.000 That's his, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation money made that a national thing.
01:27:07.000 I didn't know about that at the time.
01:27:09.000 Like, a ton of, yeah.
01:27:12.000 He's listed at speaking at a New York Times event in two days.
01:27:16.000 Oh, and he'll be there, he says.
01:27:18.000 Which is crazy.
01:27:20.000 Do they arrest him on the spot?
01:27:21.000 I don't think so.
01:27:23.000 That's wild.
01:27:25.000 What happens there?
01:27:27.000 I don't know.
01:27:27.000 Wait, oh, go down a little bit.
01:27:29.000 Yeah, Larry Fink.
01:27:30.000 So that's the guy.
01:27:31.000 I think he's the guy that invented ESG, right?
01:27:34.000 That's his thing, isn't it?
01:27:36.000 CEO of BlackRock.
01:27:38.000 So there's all these business folks.
01:27:40.000 Benjamin Netanyahu.
01:27:41.000 There's people in the Bahamas looking for him right now from the crypto community.
01:27:45.000 They're hunting him down.
01:27:47.000 It's a real Epstein Island of notable people coming...
01:27:50.000 Oh, you gotta imagine.
01:27:51.000 There's probably some bad people that lost millions.
01:27:55.000 Billions?
01:27:55.000 Yeah.
01:27:55.000 I don't know how much people really had involved.
01:27:57.000 I mean, a lot of people did, but I mean, some of them are bad people.
01:28:00.000 You know what I'm saying?
01:28:01.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:28:03.000 Can you imagine?
01:28:04.000 All these people, though, like Van Jones especially, you know that guy knows the deal because they got him on camera.
01:28:09.000 What's his name?
01:28:10.000 Filmed them.
01:28:11.000 They're like, you know, this is all bullshit.
01:28:12.000 Talking about Russiagate.
01:28:13.000 Do you remember that?
01:28:14.000 Yes.
01:28:14.000 I'm forgetting the guy's name, but Veritas.
01:28:16.000 Veritas.
01:28:16.000 Yeah.
01:28:17.000 James O'Keefe.
01:28:17.000 So that's him.
01:28:18.000 I mean, it's not cut in any way.
01:28:19.000 Vane Jones is saying it.
01:28:20.000 I know a bunch of people from, especially being in New York, and all the comics would do cable news stuff, you know, like Red Eye.
01:28:27.000 And you meet these people, and they're all like...
01:28:31.000 They all know the game and assume you do, too.
01:28:34.000 And then if I meet people that think it's all, like, they just can't imagine something nefarious was...
01:28:40.000 Oh, yeah, of course.
01:28:42.000 Zelensky's there.
01:28:43.000 He's not busy.
01:28:44.000 Boy, that guy really...
01:28:45.000 He's getting around.
01:28:47.000 But you've got to remember, the guy was a comic.
01:28:49.000 Did you see Sean Penn?
01:28:50.000 I know.
01:28:51.000 Did you see Sean Penn give him his...
01:28:53.000 Gave him his Oscar.
01:28:54.000 I want to know for which movie.
01:28:55.000 Didn't Sean win a bunch of Oscars?
01:28:58.000 He should.
01:28:59.000 If he hasn't, he should.
01:29:00.000 But who is that for?
01:29:00.000 It's not the people in Ukraine who are like, oh, that's for you at home to go, oh!
01:29:06.000 Well, Sean Penn's expressing his support.
01:29:09.000 I love that he's just like the greatest tool.
01:29:13.000 You know what I think?
01:29:14.000 He's got Chapo caught with his dumb...
01:29:16.000 He's got balls.
01:29:16.000 He's got balls.
01:29:17.000 The fact that he went down to meet Chapo...
01:29:19.000 That is wild.
01:29:20.000 Did you see the thing?
01:29:21.000 That guy's got fucking balls.
01:29:23.000 Can you imagine being him?
01:29:24.000 Imagine being Sean Penn.
01:29:25.000 Right.
01:29:26.000 You go to Mexico to meet El Chapo.
01:29:27.000 Yeah, right.
01:29:28.000 How many people has El Chapo killed?
01:29:30.000 You know?
01:29:30.000 Loaned it.
01:29:31.000 But do you know the story of that?
01:29:32.000 Oh, you loaned it to him.
01:29:33.000 Loaned it.
01:29:33.000 Yeah, if you lose the war, I want it back.
01:29:35.000 Bring it back to me when you come...
01:29:37.000 I guess when you come to...
01:29:38.000 When you win, bring it back to Malibu.
01:29:39.000 When you host the Academy Awards next year, please bring it back.
01:29:42.000 That is such a great statement.
01:29:43.000 When you win, bring it back to Malibu.
01:29:45.000 Like, what better place for a fucking completely disconnected celebrity to request a guy in the middle of a war to come to?
01:29:53.000 To come to...
01:29:54.000 It's amazing.
01:29:56.000 That's like a Coen Brothers movie line.
01:29:58.000 Dude, how are they this on...
01:30:00.000 Like, without even knowing anything about the situation, if you just live through the last ridiculous disasters that we should not have done, how would you be all in on this?
01:30:15.000 We just assume everything you're hearing is a lie after the last, I don't know, 20 years?
01:30:20.000 Some people don't, and some people don't know what to think.
01:30:23.000 I'm in the don't know what to think category.
01:30:26.000 I don't think there's a good or a bad going on here.
01:30:29.000 It's obviously bad that Russia invaded Ukraine.
01:30:32.000 It's definitely not good that there's a war going on.
01:30:35.000 And I don't understand why this can't be negotiated.
01:30:40.000 Can it be negotiated?
01:30:41.000 That's a good question.
01:30:42.000 Why can't it be?
01:30:45.000 Well, I don't know.
01:30:46.000 Watch Jimmy.
01:30:46.000 I don't want to bring the heat down on you.
01:30:50.000 Dave Smith has talked about all this stuff already.
01:30:52.000 Dave Smith talked about it in great detail.
01:30:54.000 Dave gave one of the best breakdowns of how this all happened in the first place.
01:30:58.000 And he actually showed this video of this guy who wrote a book about this in 2014 on the Colbert Show, the old Colbert Show.
01:31:04.000 Yeah.
01:31:04.000 Where he's explaining the strategy and about how Ukraine is Robin and Batman is Russia.
01:31:11.000 Yeah, right.
01:31:11.000 And we want to steal Robin away from Batman.
01:31:15.000 Openly!
01:31:15.000 Openly.
01:31:16.000 Talking about it on television as a joke about a book he wrote.
01:31:19.000 He's joking about stealing Ukraine and making Ukraine join the EU. That's the thing.
01:31:23.000 These aren't conspiracy things.
01:31:25.000 These are just, if you just have any memory of stuff that used to be on, they would talk about this openly.
01:31:31.000 It's all so crazy.
01:31:33.000 And now, it's just, what do you do?
01:31:34.000 Like, it's the same thing every goddamn war.
01:31:37.000 And I don't know how you...
01:31:38.000 What is now?
01:31:40.000 I'm old, so I probably aged out of the demographic that it matters if I believe in it or not, you know?
01:31:45.000 So...
01:31:45.000 Well, I think less people buy the official narrative more than ever, but people get caught in camps, right?
01:31:53.000 And if you're camp left-wing, you're camp pro-Ukraine, you're pro-the-war, negative, I don't want to hear any negative things, the Azovs are, what do they call them now?
01:32:01.000 The celebrated Avzovs.
01:32:02.000 Celebrated Avzovs.
01:32:04.000 Yeah.
01:32:04.000 You don't want to hear anything negative.
01:32:07.000 It's imperative that Ukraine win.
01:32:09.000 And there's like these narratives.
01:32:11.000 Now, do you know actual people?
01:32:12.000 Because the people I know who would maybe say that, that aren't bots, or they're either like real plugged in and it's a real social...
01:32:21.000 It's a real social credit in some circles, I guess, is how I take it.
01:32:25.000 But I know they just now learned it wasn't called the Ukraine probably around February.
01:32:30.000 That's clear.
01:32:31.000 Did you see all the bots that attacked Elon with the exact same sentence?
01:32:37.000 Yeah.
01:32:37.000 The exact same sentence about one guy shouldn't have all that power.
01:32:42.000 It's the exact same sentence over and over and over again with all these different fake accounts.
01:32:46.000 And someone posted like a screenshot of it of the same phrase being used by all these people.
01:32:52.000 Not reposting.
01:32:53.000 It's not reposting.
01:32:54.000 They're just cut and pasting into all these different fake accounts that are pretending to be people.
01:33:00.000 Which is what Elon said when he bought Twitter.
01:33:02.000 Like, when he was buying Twitter.
01:33:04.000 I wonder about that, like, what he learned in the course of...
01:33:08.000 Because that was a real rollercoaster ride, right?
01:33:10.000 Then everybody forgot about it for a minute.
01:33:12.000 He learned some shit.
01:33:13.000 I bet!
01:33:14.000 Yeah, he learned some shit.
01:33:15.000 And I think that's probably why everybody got fired.
01:33:19.000 I mean, I think he probably felt like a lot of people weren't necessary, or he wanted to put all new people in.
01:33:24.000 But I also...
01:33:26.000 From what things that he said publicly like there's some shit going down like What those people were supposed to do and what they were actually doing and the way they were censoring people and it was real well you watch his stupid like I'm sure anyone there that got cleared out,
01:33:45.000 I have no, oh, I'll bet they were really valuable.
01:33:50.000 I don't even, I don't even think of, I see them reporting, I'm like, these are the people that made it great.
01:33:54.000 Like, are they?
01:33:54.000 I bet they weren't.
01:33:55.000 Well, you've seen the Project Veritas videos on that.
01:33:57.000 Yeah.
01:33:57.000 They talk to people about openly, like, stopping people's tweets from getting out, shadow banning them.
01:34:04.000 Yeah, it's all not conspiracy.
01:34:06.000 First of all, the idea of a shadow ban, just to begin with, How is that okay?
01:34:12.000 There's some guy, I think that's an upper echelon video too, the guy that came up with it was some creep like, so he's like creepy like tech people.
01:34:22.000 They're all like, you know, like a Reddit moderator level kind of person, which is, you know, I don't know if you know how brutal that is, but he came up with that like as a little like, wouldn't it be a great way like to just ban and they don't even know why they're banned and it just took off through the whole industry.
01:34:38.000 That's wild.
01:34:39.000 It's wild that that's a real thing.
01:34:41.000 How's that allowed?
01:34:43.000 It is allowed, though.
01:34:44.000 Somehow or another it's allowed, and you and I are probably both on it.
01:34:47.000 Yeah, I'm sure.
01:34:51.000 Let me hit this weed again.
01:34:54.000 Yeah, Jesus Christ.
01:34:57.000 Yeah, well, I'm sure all these people are gonna...
01:34:59.000 Well, all these people are freaking out because Elon is opening the gates to everybody to come back.
01:35:05.000 They're all mad about the wrong things.
01:35:07.000 He's like, if you haven't committed a crime, you should come back.
01:35:10.000 I don't think he's right about the Alex Jones thing.
01:35:13.000 Well, I think he believes that Alex Jones lied on purpose to profit.
01:35:17.000 Well, here's the weird part.
01:35:19.000 Alex Jones didn't get kicked off of Twitter for saying anything about Parkland.
01:35:22.000 No, he didn't.
01:35:22.000 He got kicked off for making fun of, like, Oliver Darcy and saying something like, he's like, I forget, it's something like an animal coming out of another animal's ass.
01:35:30.000 Something along those lines.
01:35:32.000 I forget what he said.
01:35:33.000 But the point is, I think Elon's point was that he said that his son died, his first child.
01:35:43.000 I believe it was his son.
01:35:44.000 His first child died in his arms.
01:35:47.000 That's what he said.
01:35:48.000 And that anybody who would profit off of a child's death or...
01:35:53.000 Doesn't he work with the Pentagon?
01:35:56.000 Oh, really?
01:35:59.000 Anyone who would profit.
01:36:01.000 Meanwhile, the Taliban's on Twitter.
01:36:04.000 But the point is, knowing Alex, that is not what happened.
01:36:09.000 Alex had a genuine psychotic break.
01:36:12.000 He was losing his fucking mind.
01:36:13.000 He was drinking heavily, and I think he really truly believed a lot of things that weren't true.
01:36:19.000 Because he was finding out so many things that were true, he was going crazy.
01:36:24.000 And also drinking a lot.
01:36:26.000 Oh yeah, that always helps.
01:36:27.000 He really did have like a moment where he said, I just was losing my fucking mind.
01:36:33.000 That doesn't excuse it, right?
01:36:35.000 It's just the fact.
01:36:36.000 That's what was going on.
01:36:38.000 I feel like...
01:36:39.000 The guy's right about a lot of shit, man.
01:36:42.000 If you look at his hit rate, this is the thing that's eerie.
01:36:46.000 People would say he's a fucking agent.
01:36:50.000 I heard that all the time.
01:36:53.000 You think of the amount of things that were right, but he said them, and the frogs are turning gay.
01:36:57.000 That famous clip, right?
01:36:58.000 Yeah.
01:36:59.000 It's based on a real story about pollution that's actually affecting wildlife.
01:37:03.000 It's actually an important story.
01:37:04.000 So he's referring to something that's a real thing.
01:37:08.000 Yeah, it's doing something fucked up to their hormones, and I think it makes them intersex or something along those lines.
01:37:14.000 Yeah, it's important.
01:37:14.000 But why are you saying it like that?
01:37:16.000 Because then it makes it easy to dismiss.
01:37:18.000 Because he's funny.
01:37:19.000 That's the thing about Alex.
01:37:21.000 Half of what he does is the entertainment value, but then it's all interwoven in with real shit.
01:37:29.000 He'll say shit, and you're like, what?
01:37:30.000 What are you talking about?
01:37:31.000 They've got to stop giving the polio vaccine to kids in Africa because they were giving them actual polio.
01:37:35.000 And you hear that and you go, that's not true.
01:37:37.000 That can't be true.
01:37:39.000 And then we went to a fucking AP article where they showed that that polio vaccine...
01:37:45.000 When it first came out in America, that's the birth of...
01:37:48.000 I never heard of this.
01:37:49.000 Here's how I found out about it.
01:37:50.000 I was looking up for something else for a joke for the show and I was looking up polio because I got that when I was five in the 80s, right?
01:37:57.000 Well, that's when it was perfected.
01:37:58.000 It was perfectly good when I got it, apparently.
01:38:00.000 And it's not because the vaccine itself was bad.
01:38:03.000 It's because the drug company that first manufactured it accidentally put live polio into it.
01:38:08.000 So it was the actual pharmaceutical company that fucked it up.
01:38:11.000 And then some people got polio from it, and that was the birth of being hesitant about vaccines.
01:38:16.000 People weren't just like, oh, it's black magic.
01:38:19.000 Something happened.
01:38:20.000 And here's the creepiest part of this article that I read.
01:38:23.000 This wasn't someone arguing against the COVID vaccine.
01:38:28.000 This was when Trump was in office still doing Project Warp Speed to make sure the vaccine was going to get made.
01:38:34.000 And they were all talking how it's bad because Trump's doing it.
01:38:37.000 So this guy writing this like, hey, slow down, Trump.
01:38:39.000 You should know why some people might be hesitant.
01:38:42.000 If that was...
01:38:45.000 I'm sure that same guy would be exactly the opposite on command.
01:38:48.000 That's the thing that's creepy.
01:38:51.000 That is kind of creepy.
01:38:52.000 That it's not fact-based, it's what does the ideology support?
01:38:56.000 What does the cult want?
01:38:57.000 The cult wants this.
01:38:59.000 Vaccines are good.
01:39:00.000 And isn't there a strain of polio that's specifically from that?
01:39:06.000 Like there's a vaccinated strain of polio that some people are catching?
01:39:10.000 What now?
01:39:11.000 Yes, now.
01:39:12.000 Is that the thing about New York?
01:39:13.000 There was something with the water supply they thought was causing polio?
01:39:16.000 I think, no, I think they detected the levels of polio in the waste supply, which would indicate that polio is in the area.
01:39:26.000 That's a weird thing.
01:39:27.000 Let's find out one at a time, because I want to make sure that the vaccine case of polio is true, because I think I heard Jimmy say it.
01:39:33.000 I think it was something that Jimmy talked about.
01:39:35.000 I remember that article talking about them saying it, but I don't remember what the update of it was.
01:39:40.000 I think that's what the assertion was.
01:39:44.000 Here it is.
01:39:46.000 Detection of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus 2. Vaccine-derived poliovirus is a well-documented type of poliovirus that is mutated from the strain originally contained in the oral polio vaccine.
01:40:00.000 The oral polio vaccine contains a live, weakened form of poliovirus.
01:40:06.000 I think they're oral as a kid.
01:40:07.000 So there's a poliovirus 2. Oh, weird.
01:40:12.000 That is vaccine-derived.
01:40:14.000 That's crazy.
01:40:15.000 And that's what they were talking about.
01:40:16.000 I got a shot when I was a kid.
01:40:17.000 Yeah, it's different.
01:40:18.000 No, the oral one was the one that the AP was talking about with kids.
01:40:22.000 They were giving it to kids in Africa, and they were winding up getting polio.
01:40:27.000 From the polio vaccine.
01:40:29.000 That's what Alex talked about.
01:40:31.000 And that's what I was like, there's no fucking way that's true.
01:40:33.000 Pull that up.
01:40:33.000 And he pulls it up.
01:40:34.000 And it's not a wacky website.
01:40:36.000 It's AP News.
01:40:37.000 The scary thing is when you read that stupid thing of, what if somebody...
01:40:42.000 By the way, I got vaccinated.
01:40:44.000 But people are saying things like, what if someone you love needed a bed?
01:40:48.000 And then they couldn't get one in the hospital because an unvaccinated person was taking up the bed.
01:40:53.000 I heard this repeated a lot.
01:40:57.000 But this is the thing I didn't think of at the time.
01:40:59.000 It's already stupid on the face of it, because when they come out and, I'm sorry, there's an unvaccinated person, your loved one has to die.
01:41:07.000 Like, Why are there not enough beds?
01:41:10.000 If you know a pandemic is coming, wouldn't you think there'd be enough beds?
01:41:12.000 They purposely run because it's all private equity that owns the hospitals.
01:41:16.000 They run it that way on purpose with not enough beds because it's not cost effective to have enough beds.
01:41:21.000 And if you look it up, I read there's an article that was bragging about how great this is.
01:41:26.000 It was like an industry thing.
01:41:27.000 It was that way to provide more efficient care and you can focus on preventable beds.
01:41:31.000 It wasn't a thing exposing it.
01:41:33.000 It was a thing explaining why it's great that there's not gonna be enough beds from now on.
01:41:37.000 That's the creepy shit.
01:41:39.000 So do they, well, they don't plan for a pandemic, right?
01:41:42.000 It's not like the hospital should have all these beds running 24-7 to plan for.
01:41:48.000 But once the pandemic hits, like, how much resources would be involved in making sure there's enough beds?
01:41:54.000 Oh, in a lot of places, there were enough beds.
01:41:57.000 That wasn't even a thing that there weren't enough beds.
01:41:59.000 Well, that was the thing, too.
01:42:00.000 It's like there was a lot of propaganda about people that were clogging up.
01:42:06.000 Remember this story?
01:42:07.000 Yeah, that's a fake story.
01:42:08.000 They clogged up the emergency room in Oklahoma because they were having ivermectin overdoses, and there was no room for the gunshot wounds.
01:42:14.000 Right, and there hadn't been a gunshot wound in that town.
01:42:17.000 It was all hardship.
01:42:18.000 The sheriff had to call.
01:42:19.000 Yeah, and Rolling Stone ran it.
01:42:21.000 Yeah.
01:42:21.000 By the way, that was great with Yan Winter.
01:42:23.000 That clip is unbelievable.
01:42:25.000 That clip was so strange.
01:42:26.000 It really shows you, like...
01:42:28.000 Because I always wonder, like, what in the hell this, like, credulous...
01:42:31.000 Like, we watched Jon Stewart talking to Hillary and Condoleezza.
01:42:35.000 Did you see that?
01:42:36.000 I tried not to.
01:42:37.000 Oh, it's brutal, dude.
01:42:39.000 And you can even see on his face.
01:42:43.000 And it's like you could see Luke Skywalker, like, I know there is good in you.
01:42:49.000 He's trying to talk to him like that.
01:42:51.000 Wow.
01:42:51.000 And no, there isn't, dude.
01:42:53.000 And the two of them are horrible.
01:42:55.000 And the things are saying, like, I don't even know how you get through the video watching.
01:42:58.000 We didn't.
01:42:59.000 We had to stop it every minute.
01:43:00.000 I haven't seen it.
01:43:01.000 Oh, the arrogant...
01:43:03.000 It's just unbelievable.
01:43:04.000 It's a foregone conclusion that it's great for us to keep going everywhere and regime change, whatever the hell we do, that...
01:43:12.000 Like an alcoholic, like, this time is going to be better.
01:43:15.000 Is that what they're saying?
01:43:17.000 I've had people say it to me point blank of, like, well, Iraq wasn't...
01:43:21.000 You know, they couldn't really have democracy, like, culturally, but, like, Ukraine's got a shot at it because they're more...
01:43:28.000 You know, stuff that's like, maybe not, I don't know if outright racist, but chauvinistic, let's say.
01:43:34.000 You know?
01:43:35.000 Right.
01:43:35.000 But just the idea, this time, it's going to work.
01:43:39.000 That's amazing.
01:43:41.000 Also, like, what does that make Ukraine?
01:43:44.000 If Ukraine wins in the Ukraine, do they join the UN? Do they never join the UN? Are they a part of NATO? They're not in the UN. Or NATO, they're not in.
01:43:55.000 NATO, rather.
01:43:56.000 Excuse me, NATO. Right.
01:43:59.000 I've had a little marijuana, folks.
01:44:00.000 Yeah.
01:44:01.000 If they do join, I mean, isn't that like the big...
01:44:06.000 That was the big sticking point.
01:44:08.000 Yeah, if you watch it, we play all the clips of it.
01:44:11.000 I mean...
01:44:11.000 That was what Dave Smith has said.
01:44:12.000 That was the big sticking point, was that they're moving their weapons closer and closer towards the Russian border.
01:44:19.000 Yeah, right.
01:44:19.000 And that if they could get them to join NATO... There's a whole bunch of people that think that, yeah, NATO should expand as much as possible, and it should go everywhere.
01:44:27.000 Like, you could hear Condoleezza and Hillary.
01:44:29.000 I mean, imagine the two of them.
01:44:31.000 That's what I'm watching Jon Stewart sit through.
01:44:34.000 What do you think was going through his head?
01:44:37.000 I think he's like that, remember they had that rally to restore sanity?
01:44:42.000 And it was like a real middle, it's really like the Obama years were great for me festival is really what you call it.
01:44:50.000 And a bunch of people I know in their minds like it was great when Obama got in.
01:44:56.000 And I liked Obama a lot.
01:44:58.000 I was all for Obama at the time.
01:45:00.000 I had no idea of any of the actual things he was doing.
01:45:03.000 Or, like, the drone wars.
01:45:05.000 And now you realize the left and right is, like, if you're left, America left, you're for, like, advanced robot killing.
01:45:13.000 Of mostly innocent people.
01:45:15.000 Of mostly.
01:45:16.000 Like, grossly.
01:45:17.000 Yeah, like 90%.
01:45:18.000 That ain't a good...
01:45:19.000 Can you say collateral damage at that point?
01:45:21.000 It's collateral survivors at that point.
01:45:23.000 Yeah, the amount of actual people that they target that get killed, somewhere in the neighborhood of 10%, right?
01:45:30.000 So they made it like a...
01:45:31.000 90%.
01:45:32.000 A combatant.
01:45:33.000 Somebody who could be a combatant, at one point they made it anybody over the age of 15, some creepy thing like that, right?
01:45:40.000 That was during Obama.
01:45:41.000 So then you could just legally do this stuff.
01:45:43.000 Trump made it so they don't even have to report.
01:45:46.000 Right?
01:45:46.000 I have to report the numbers.
01:45:48.000 So those are your choices.
01:45:51.000 That's your two joys.
01:45:52.000 It's like a left twix and right twix.
01:45:54.000 Can you imagine you're on your way to a fucking wedding?
01:45:58.000 And you hear missiles that get launched from robots.
01:46:02.000 Because you've got so many cars headed to the mountains, they assume.
01:46:05.000 I have wanted to get out of going to a wedding really bad.
01:46:10.000 So I'm not the right, but I see what you're saying.
01:46:12.000 Those are the horror stories you always hear, like a wedding party.
01:46:16.000 Yeah, then they got a...
01:46:17.000 It's just unbelievable.
01:46:18.000 It's the same sort of cop logic that allow you to steal $10,000 from some kid about to buy a Camaro.
01:46:23.000 That's a good...
01:46:24.000 Cop logic's a good...
01:46:25.000 Yeah.
01:46:26.000 That's what they sounded like.
01:46:27.000 Good guys, bad guys.
01:46:28.000 They had cop logic.
01:46:29.000 Well, that was what Julian Assange exposed in that video that was so damning.
01:46:33.000 Yeah, right.
01:46:34.000 There was that moment where that guy in that...
01:46:36.000 It was a helicopter, right?
01:46:38.000 Yeah.
01:46:38.000 He launched those missiles at the photographers.
01:46:41.000 Yeah, right.
01:46:42.000 And then there was kids that were in a van, and he was like, well, they shouldn't have their kids with them.
01:46:47.000 Which is...
01:46:48.000 Remember the guy that they got by drone that looked like Adrian Brody, kind of a la Lockie?
01:46:54.000 Yes.
01:46:55.000 And his son had gone to find his dad, you know, and so was with him and died too.
01:47:01.000 And I remember...
01:47:02.000 People now who would be like Warhawks saying, he's an American citizen, they just executed.
01:47:08.000 Now, when they got him at the time, I remember thinking, hey, citizenship revoked, motherfucker.
01:47:13.000 That's how I felt.
01:47:14.000 Right.
01:47:14.000 It didn't even occur to me that if you just, they're going to do that there, what do you think they'll do to you at home?
01:47:20.000 Not give you the same treatment when it comes down to it?
01:47:23.000 Whatever they do over there, they're going to do to you when it's convenient.
01:47:26.000 Like any kind of fucking gangster.
01:47:28.000 That's how it is.
01:47:30.000 So...
01:47:31.000 But I had no concept of that.
01:47:33.000 I remember on 9-11, I was there, and I remember everybody was on board with, yeah, that makes sense.
01:47:38.000 Go to Iraq.
01:47:39.000 You just gotta show them all.
01:47:41.000 Yeah, the idea was, we can't ever have this happen again.
01:47:45.000 Shock and awe.
01:47:46.000 I think it's really great how Islamic fundamentalist terrorists have kind of just stopped wanting to attack us.
01:47:51.000 I guess they see we have so many other things on our plate.
01:47:56.000 It was the biggest, most important thing, and you never hear about it now.
01:48:00.000 Do you remember when we had the scale?
01:48:02.000 Like, it's orange today for possible terrorist attacks.
01:48:06.000 Remember they tried that for a little while?
01:48:08.000 A lot of people don't remember.
01:48:09.000 Do you remember it, Jamie?
01:48:10.000 It was on TV. They would go, today's yellow.
01:48:14.000 Relax, go outside, go to the park, where the government is paying attention.
01:48:18.000 I mean, at the time, that came across to me like a- National Terrorism Advisory System.
01:48:25.000 You know, taking your shoes off at the airport, that's a good...
01:48:27.000 It was one fucking guy.
01:48:29.000 DHS replaced the color-coded alerts of Homeland Security Advisory Systems with the National Terrorism Advisory System in 2011. So they ran that shit for a few years.
01:48:41.000 And they gave it up.
01:48:42.000 And the way it works is you get funding for these stupid things.
01:48:45.000 So they could be idiotic and they'll just go, we could take our shoes off at the airport forever.
01:48:50.000 And that's how I think about every single thing.
01:48:52.000 It was one guy, right?
01:48:54.000 One guy tried to blow his shoe up.
01:48:56.000 Then they could have just looked at his shoes.
01:48:58.000 His shoes had visible fuses coming out of them.
01:49:01.000 He was trying to light it while he was sitting next to people.
01:49:04.000 Hey, just take a peek at their shoes, maybe.
01:49:06.000 People stopped him from doing it.
01:49:08.000 Like he's a shitty lighter.
01:49:13.000 So dumb.
01:49:14.000 Oh, yeah.
01:49:15.000 Oh, the Ron Jeremy one.
01:49:17.000 He's got the shoe right there.
01:49:18.000 Did you ever talk to that guy, John Kierakal, that caught him?
01:49:21.000 No.
01:49:21.000 He's an interesting dude to talk to, the CIA guy.
01:49:23.000 He's the one that revealed the torture program.
01:49:25.000 Richard Reed was the guy, right?
01:49:27.000 So all under his shoe was explosives.
01:49:30.000 Wow, that's crazy.
01:49:32.000 Can you imagine being on a fucking plane and you see a guy lighting his shoe?
01:49:36.000 And you're like, oh my god.
01:49:39.000 I know.
01:49:40.000 He already, especially if you're like, okay, I don't want to be phobic and just assume this guy who has a real terrorist look in his eyes.
01:49:48.000 Are you sure?
01:49:49.000 He has a look in his eyes like he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.
01:49:52.000 Look at his eyes.
01:49:53.000 He expected to be...
01:49:55.000 How many of those guys did they talk...
01:49:57.000 Remember that guy that they talked into doing that fake bomb?
01:50:00.000 The FBI courted him.
01:50:02.000 They convinced him that he should blow up this fake bomb, and they gave him a cell phone to blow up the fake bomb, and then when he tried to activate the fake bomb, they arrested him?
01:50:11.000 Wait, what kind of...
01:50:13.000 Is this an Islamic terrorist?
01:50:14.000 He was 19 years old.
01:50:16.000 You know, they do that.
01:50:16.000 I remember at the time looking up what's the most common.
01:50:19.000 Because at the time it was an argument about Islamic terrorism, how dangerous, right?
01:50:23.000 That was the big argument.
01:50:24.000 So I wonder what is the most terrorism.
01:50:26.000 I looked it up and it was like 2011. Eco-terrorism was the number one.
01:50:31.000 I was like, eco-terrorism?
01:50:32.000 I guess because it's mostly against property, but...
01:50:35.000 There's a guy who...
01:50:37.000 I guess how entrapment works is not how I would have thought entrapment works.
01:50:42.000 You could have a kind of shitty person go in undercover and make up a plan with some guy who's weak or stupid and wouldn't have done it otherwise.
01:50:53.000 There's like 300 or something cases of that with Islamic terrorists.
01:50:56.000 But before that, there's a famous one with some kid who's like a virgin and they got a girl to fuck him and draw up a plan and he just gave him money against some loser.
01:51:05.000 And then you catch him and there's funding.
01:51:07.000 Meanwhile, the Boston Marathon bomber slipped through.
01:51:10.000 In fact, a bunch of shootings?
01:51:12.000 Here's a weird commonality.
01:51:14.000 A lot of people noticed something wrong and called both their local police and the FBI. And they didn't somehow catch it.
01:51:20.000 Well, wasn't the Boston bomber an FBI informant?
01:51:24.000 I never even heard that, but...
01:51:25.000 Was that true?
01:51:26.000 Was the Boston bomber an informant?
01:51:29.000 Is that speculation?
01:51:32.000 Well, the last thing I saw, because remember Brass Eye?
01:51:35.000 It was like a British fake news thing.
01:51:37.000 It was really funny.
01:51:38.000 This guy named Chris Morris.
01:51:40.000 He made a movie about, and I remember this case in Florida.
01:51:43.000 It was like a black Islamic group that had this preposterous plan to ride horses into Chicago.
01:51:50.000 Something crazy, but they were set up.
01:51:52.000 And I remember on the news, remember they rounded up the homegrown terrorists?
01:51:56.000 And they left behind this one guy that he was really slow.
01:51:59.000 He was the only one left.
01:52:01.000 You could tell he was the runt of the litter of this thing.
01:52:06.000 And you could tell he was slow.
01:52:07.000 I think Bill Maher made a joke about how it wasn't the A-team of terrorists.
01:52:12.000 It was like that.
01:52:14.000 So when I saw this Chris Morris interview later, I'm like, oh, I remember those.
01:52:18.000 There's all these where they caught people and I didn't really know the details of it.
01:52:21.000 But the guy was really dumb.
01:52:22.000 And they probably just talked him into it.
01:52:24.000 Well, how about the Gretchen Whitmire thing?
01:52:26.000 There was 14 people that were trying to kidnap her.
01:52:29.000 12 of them were FBI informants.
01:52:34.000 That's some kind of...
01:52:35.000 It's like the waste of...
01:52:37.000 I mean, but that's hilarious.
01:52:39.000 It sounds like some kind of thing to sell more cleaners to me.
01:52:42.000 Everything sounds like that to me.
01:52:43.000 Right.
01:52:44.000 It sounds like it can't be real.
01:52:46.000 It's something that you have to prove you did something that was in your nature, I think, is the wording, which is very strange.
01:52:52.000 But I found that out on...
01:52:54.000 So they can talk you into doing it because it was in your nature to do it.
01:52:57.000 How the hell do you have that as law?
01:53:00.000 Unanswered question about Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
01:53:06.000 Yeah.
01:53:07.000 So what are the questions?
01:53:09.000 Well, it was an informant.
01:53:10.000 It was an informant.
01:53:12.000 I didn't get a good answer.
01:53:14.000 Was he a federal informant?
01:53:15.000 How does a federal informant program work?
01:53:17.000 How do federal agents recruit Muslims and other immigrants to become informants?
01:53:22.000 And did Tamarlan Sarnarev...
01:53:27.000 How do you say that?
01:53:28.000 Help me out.
01:53:29.000 Sarnarev?
01:53:30.000 Sarnarev received special treatment through this program for his application to become a U.S. citizen.
01:53:34.000 In 2014, as his dad, Daz Klar Sarnarev, prepared for his defense, his lawyers...
01:53:43.000 Filed a motion seeking all documents related to FBI contact with Samerlin.
01:53:48.000 Why?
01:53:49.000 Oh, that's the other dude.
01:53:51.000 They believe that Tamerlin had been a federal informant.
01:53:54.000 They wrote, we based this information from our client's family and other sources that the FBI made more than one visit to talk to Tamerlin and asked him to be an informant reporting on the Chechen and Muslim community.
01:54:08.000 Oh.
01:54:09.000 We base this information from our clients.
01:54:13.000 That's it.
01:54:13.000 That's the highlighted thing.
01:54:14.000 So I tried to read down it to find out any confirmation.
01:54:16.000 It's really long.
01:54:17.000 There are some ties.
01:54:18.000 He's listed in this visual here.
01:54:20.000 So because they even approached him, that set him off because he was already going in that vein?
01:54:26.000 Is that what I'm...
01:54:26.000 As a boxer, they focused on him in this?
01:54:29.000 This is from 2010. And what is it about?
01:54:31.000 This was used to sell people.
01:54:33.000 This is an excerpt from Boston University Graduate Student Publication.
01:54:37.000 The comment which featured him in 2010. Scroll back up again.
01:54:42.000 This is just a long article.
01:54:43.000 Yeah, I know.
01:54:44.000 Here it is.
01:54:47.000 He desperately wanted citizenship in 2010. He was featured in a magazine.
01:54:52.000 You help us, we'll help you.
01:54:54.000 McPhee tells Radio Boston.
01:54:58.000 He went over to Dagestan, I think, where he was trying to, according to some officials, get involved with some fighters, which, according to this, then they didn't let him in because of his ties to conspicuous Western culture, it says right here.
01:55:15.000 I was trying to read this.
01:55:17.000 This is a very long article.
01:55:18.000 I couldn't find it out.
01:55:19.000 I don't even know if this has an accent.
01:55:20.000 So that's like a perfect guy to approach to be like, hey, you want to find stuff?
01:55:25.000 Yeah.
01:55:25.000 If he's already paranoid.
01:55:27.000 Especially if he's a boxer and he wants to be a U.S. citizen.
01:55:30.000 Yeah.
01:55:30.000 And they can get him to...
01:55:32.000 Similarly, I found this article in the New York Times, which goes into someone very similar.
01:55:35.000 They tried to find a nuclear specialist and get him to do a bomb.
01:55:39.000 And this long article goes into, I guess, he did.
01:55:41.000 Dude, there's a bunch of these...
01:55:43.000 Hold on, say that again?
01:55:44.000 In what?
01:55:44.000 He did not go through with this.
01:55:45.000 I think he saw through whoever was trying to get at him.
01:55:48.000 Same kind of deal, but he...
01:55:50.000 Okay.
01:55:51.000 Yeah, they do that all the time, I think.
01:55:52.000 It's not even breaking the law.
01:55:53.000 The law is like you could do a crazy amount of entrapment.
01:55:57.000 So, and I wasn't aware of that, you know?
01:56:00.000 That is nuts.
01:56:01.000 It's nuts that that's funded by tax dollars to trick people.
01:56:05.000 Did you ever see the thing?
01:56:06.000 It's 30 years, despite his concerns of entrapment, this says.
01:56:10.000 Yeah.
01:56:10.000 So, he wasn't let...
01:56:12.000 Fuck your concerns.
01:56:13.000 He got fucked.
01:56:14.000 So, they still put him away.
01:56:16.000 Yeah.
01:56:16.000 Yeah.
01:56:18.000 Why did they put him away?
01:56:19.000 Because he was thinking about it?
01:56:20.000 Because he was talking to them about it?
01:56:23.000 Can you imagine if you're hanging around with dudes who are talking about blowing up a nuke in Manhattan, and you're in the same cell as them, same terror cell, and you're like, uh, yeah, man, sounds like a good idea, sounds like a plan.
01:56:36.000 That's one thing.
01:56:37.000 And they're recording this, but they turn out to be the FBI, but you are just, you're never planning on doing it.
01:56:42.000 You just think you're freaked out by the fact that these guys want to blow up a fucking nuke.
01:56:45.000 What do you say?
01:56:47.000 If this is your group of people- Yeah, that's what people did when I was doing Sasha's thing.
01:56:51.000 Because you're like, why do people...
01:56:53.000 Because people will sense something weird.
01:56:55.000 Sasha Baron Cohen.
01:56:56.000 Yeah.
01:56:56.000 And they'll sense something weird and go along with it.
01:56:59.000 Especially real reality show kind of people.
01:57:03.000 They're just like, camera, oh, I just do the thing and don't think about the thing and do it.
01:57:07.000 Right.
01:57:08.000 Or it made the news, but the guy was freaked out and he did try to...
01:57:14.000 Remember there was some news that some guy brought up a pedophile ring or something?
01:57:18.000 There's some guy that thought...
01:57:20.000 It turned out to not be that at all.
01:57:23.000 It was like a guy...
01:57:23.000 But people would be scared when they hear you bring up some kind of illegal thing, and they might act like it's okay and then go report it.
01:57:29.000 You know, hopefully that's what...
01:57:30.000 What are you talking about?
01:57:31.000 Pedophile thing?
01:57:32.000 What?
01:57:32.000 I don't remember the exact thing, but one of the guys they did a prank on...
01:57:36.000 And first it went around like a rumor that...
01:57:40.000 Oh, yes.
01:57:41.000 Do you know what I'm talking about?
01:57:41.000 That's right.
01:57:43.000 And I called my friend and he was like, it turned out the guy, he was afraid because he just heard this and went along with the thing.
01:57:48.000 So it was nothing, but people will go along with something if you skip.
01:57:53.000 Especially with five guys.
01:57:55.000 Right.
01:57:56.000 Also, some people, they're like, you could get them to talk about almost anything.
01:58:01.000 There's some people that like, you know what I mean?
01:58:04.000 There's a certain level of unsophisticated person.
01:58:07.000 If you're around them and you start talking about ghosts, they're like, oh yeah, yeah.
01:58:12.000 They just go with it, right?
01:58:14.000 I thought you were talking about Sam Harris on Trigonometry.
01:58:18.000 I'm like, holy crap, are you saying this for real?
01:58:23.000 I wish he hadn't used those words.
01:58:25.000 Well, I love that he did because it's such an obvious thing, but a bunch of people not as bright as him would know not to say that.
01:58:36.000 He feels very strongly anti-Trump in a way that, what do they call it?
01:58:41.000 Trump derangement syndrome?
01:58:43.000 Every time I think that's just some kind of phrase, I'll see a new example where I'm like, this is amazing.
01:58:49.000 He literally goes, yeah, no, it's a conspiracy.
01:58:52.000 That's good.
01:58:52.000 We have to do it.
01:58:52.000 Like you're the Dark Knight with the Joker and you got a spy on everybody's phone that one time.
01:58:58.000 See, the thing is, it's the one good thing about someone like Trump even being able to become president.
01:59:06.000 Which is so crazy.
01:59:07.000 It just shows you how bananas this system really is.
01:59:10.000 But that's the problem with him is that mainly.
01:59:12.000 Because, you know, people that think he's going to help, I want it to work out for you, but guess what?
01:59:17.000 There ain't no help coming.
01:59:20.000 I don't think there's help coming either.
01:59:22.000 I gave it to Candace Owens that interview with Trump where she brought up Eric Snowden and Julian Assange.
01:59:27.000 And Trump said, he was like, well, I should have.
01:59:30.000 I've never even heard of Trump saying I should have done something different.
01:59:34.000 Like, that's amazing to get that out of him.
01:59:37.000 That's one of those ones where if he did, who the fuck knows what would have happened.
01:59:42.000 I mean, that's like a fucking take a ride in a convertible through Dallas moment.
01:59:48.000 All these things I would have dismissed, especially stuff like JFK, Oliver Stone.
01:59:53.000 Yeah.
01:59:55.000 JFK's a movie, right?
01:59:56.000 That kind of thing.
01:59:56.000 There's probably an explanation.
01:59:58.000 Just the fact that you would delay it another whatever...
02:00:01.000 55 years?
02:00:02.000 Something like that?
02:00:03.000 Like...
02:00:04.000 Why?
02:00:04.000 Automatically.
02:00:05.000 Yeah, what could the reason be?
02:00:06.000 Is it something good?
02:00:09.000 I'm sure you have our best interests in mind.
02:00:11.000 You always do.
02:00:11.000 Why would you not want to tell us this right now?
02:00:14.000 Yeah.
02:00:14.000 What about this?
02:00:17.000 Could people not handle something that happened in 1963?
02:00:20.000 Go.
02:00:22.000 Also, what about all the data of the safe, effective vaccine that I got that they want to hold back for 75?
02:00:30.000 Yeah.
02:00:30.000 Really?
02:00:31.000 75 years.
02:00:32.000 But they're making them do it quicker.
02:00:34.000 Yeah, the judge.
02:00:36.000 We don't have enough people to go through and put black...
02:00:38.000 You're allowed to redact?
02:00:40.000 Did you see the EU hearings?
02:00:44.000 And they're asking about the data, and the guy's holding up what they were given, and it's all blacked out, except for one line here and there.
02:00:51.000 That's just the contract with the drug companies that the guy's government made.
02:00:55.000 Whew!
02:00:58.000 That's proprietary information.
02:01:00.000 Well, think about Sam Bankman Freed.
02:01:02.000 Yeah.
02:01:02.000 Now, multiply that.
02:01:04.000 Many, many times.
02:01:06.000 Yeah.
02:01:06.000 And you've got the amount of money that's rolling around.
02:01:08.000 And it's just getting in everybody's pockets.
02:01:12.000 It's the same goddamn thing.
02:01:13.000 Creating influence everywhere you go.
02:01:15.000 Do the same people that made...
02:01:16.000 What's the movie about...
02:01:18.000 You know, Steve Carell's in it and Batman's in it.
02:01:21.000 Yeah.
02:01:22.000 About 2008. That thing keeps going.
02:01:25.000 It's never...
02:01:26.000 The Big Short.
02:01:28.000 All that stuff Matt Taibbi wrote about has never been addressed or fixed in any way.
02:01:32.000 No.
02:01:33.000 No, and Matt Daiby did a brilliant job of breaking it down to someone who's never studied the markets before, and you just go, what?
02:01:41.000 Yeah, right.
02:01:41.000 That's how you guys were doing this?
02:01:43.000 Like, this whole thing is insane.
02:01:46.000 And then the whole thing about you have to bail them out, and then the people that you bail out are allowed to get bonuses, like giant bonuses.
02:01:54.000 Yeah, right.
02:01:54.000 You have to give them the bonus, because otherwise they're going to leave and go somewhere else.
02:01:57.000 Like, what?
02:01:59.000 Yeah!
02:02:00.000 What the fuck are you saying?
02:02:01.000 The country's on fire.
02:02:03.000 The WeWork guy.
02:02:04.000 You ever see WeWork?
02:02:05.000 Yeah, what happened with that?
02:02:07.000 I don't know anything about that.
02:02:07.000 So he got like a billion dollars out of, what was it?
02:02:10.000 It was like a tech company, but their tech was selling office space or renting office space, which is not tech.
02:02:16.000 And all you had to do was just be barefoot and talk about some kind of goop kind of shit.
02:02:22.000 That's all you got to do with rich people.
02:02:26.000 I was talking to this dude, Pasta, who has a good podcast I do.
02:02:31.000 We were talking about Hawaii.
02:02:34.000 You could make a whole living.
02:02:37.000 Steve said, you just bring a didgeridoo to Hawaii and walk along the beach just playing and you could get some kind of patronage eventually.
02:02:45.000 And that's like a therapy.
02:02:51.000 Those are the weirdest fucking, that's like Viking shit.
02:02:54.000 Like where'd that come from?
02:02:56.000 Is it a Maori thing?
02:02:58.000 Is that a New Zealand thing?
02:02:59.000 I thought it was an Aboriginal thing.
02:03:00.000 Is that what it is?
02:03:01.000 That's a great fucking sound.
02:03:06.000 I gotta believe that they never, the Aborigines never enjoyed their own didgeridoos as much as a white guy with dreadlocks.
02:03:16.000 Wow, look at them.
02:03:17.000 Look how cool that looks.
02:03:18.000 Holy shit.
02:03:20.000 They're wearing these wild, like, paint all over their body and these crazy outfits.
02:03:26.000 I want to hear that.
02:03:29.000 Can we hear it?
02:03:30.000 I mean, that guy could clean up in Hawaii if he showed up.
02:03:32.000 Fuck yeah.
02:03:33.000 Those guys were on the beach.
02:03:37.000 It's such a fucking psychedelic sound.
02:03:40.000 Yeah, right.
02:03:41.000 If you were doing mushrooms in like a teepee with a fire in the center of it, you hear that sound.
02:03:47.000 Yeah.
02:03:57.000 Fuck yeah.
02:03:59.000 We're tripping balls.
02:04:00.000 Is he doing a didgeridoo solo right now?
02:04:02.000 Yeah, bro, I'm tripping balls just listening to him.
02:04:12.000 Imagine you hear that sound and you have like a cold camp because you're trying to hide.
02:04:20.000 And you're hoping that they don't find you?
02:04:22.000 I mean...
02:04:24.000 Can I tell you what I appreciate?
02:04:25.000 The aboriginals are ready to come kick your ass, and you hear this from the top of the mountain?
02:04:30.000 Fuck!
02:04:32.000 I'm Tom Selleck in Quigley Down Under, waiting.
02:04:36.000 This guy, you can tell, is like the Steve Vai of didgeridoo.
02:04:40.000 That's wild.
02:04:41.000 Well, I mean...
02:04:44.000 My buddy Adam Greentree works with a lot of Aboriginal people.
02:04:48.000 He runs a mining company in Australia.
02:04:52.000 And he said that there's so many languages that they call them mobs.
02:04:59.000 Oh, yeah, right.
02:05:00.000 Instead of a tribe, they call themselves a mob.
02:05:03.000 And one mob might not understand what another mob 100 kilometers away speaks.
02:05:09.000 Really?
02:05:09.000 Yep.
02:05:10.000 Oh, no shit.
02:05:11.000 He said it's wild.
02:05:12.000 And he said a lot of it's not written down either, unfortunately.
02:05:15.000 So, like, if they die, if they die off, and sometimes they'll have, like, you know, historically, they were poisoned by people that lived there.
02:05:24.000 They were poisoned by the settlers.
02:05:26.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
02:05:27.000 They lost, like, giant groups of them.
02:05:29.000 There's, like, a cave he was telling me about.
02:05:32.000 And if you go there, there's, like, a whole mob that was killed with poison.
02:05:36.000 They gave them poison food in this cave.
02:05:38.000 Oh, yeah, really?
02:05:38.000 It's a really bad...
02:05:40.000 There's Adam.
02:05:42.000 That's my buddy.
02:05:43.000 That might have been the cave, but it might not be.
02:05:44.000 Well, there's a cave that was filled with bones.
02:05:48.000 Yeah, right.
02:05:50.000 Quigley Down Under was about a lot of that, but they were shooting at originals.
02:05:54.000 But it's really wild what happened.
02:05:56.000 Quigley Down Under?
02:05:57.000 Yeah, you ever see that with Tom Selleck?
02:05:58.000 No, I never saw that.
02:05:59.000 Oh yeah, he shows up and it's all about that, how they were massacring.
02:06:03.000 Not, he wasn't doing it, but I guess Quigley, I don't think it's a real guy.
02:06:06.000 They would steal their children and make them be adopted by white people.
02:06:10.000 Well, that's a Canada...
02:06:11.000 Quigley Down Under.
02:06:12.000 Canada has a whole history of that, right?
02:06:14.000 Yeah, they did that too, I think, right?
02:06:15.000 The pictures, they'll have pictures of the whole thing and they make them in black and white even though it wasn't...
02:06:20.000 Black and white.
02:06:20.000 This is like 1975. Yeah, to create emotional distance from the event.
02:06:24.000 Oh, Jesus Christ, that's crazy.
02:06:26.000 This was a long time ago, back when there was only paintings.
02:06:30.000 You put it in black and white, and people are like, get over it.
02:06:36.000 Funny, that's all you have to do.
02:06:37.000 Put in black and white and people are like, oh.
02:06:40.000 Just make it a Polaroid.
02:06:41.000 Make it a Polaroid.
02:06:42.000 Like, clearly big white strip on the bottom.
02:06:44.000 Oh, it's a Polaroid.
02:06:45.000 Wait, do you know, I was just thinking, can you only play that one song on didgeridoo?
02:06:51.000 I've only heard one song.
02:06:52.000 Well, I think you get to make your own sort of sound.
02:06:56.000 Because there's no, it's all in what noises you're making in that giant ass tube.
02:07:03.000 Did you see that Dune movie where they, the new one they made?
02:07:08.000 And the guy, there's like, they're doing some sacrifice.
02:07:10.000 No, I didn't see the new Dune.
02:07:11.000 Oh, there's a cool part.
02:07:12.000 Was it good?
02:07:13.000 Yeah, it was great.
02:07:14.000 I mean, I thought you'd done as well as you could do it.
02:07:18.000 But the guy's doing that throat, it's not, you know, that, I don't know, not Tibet, that throat singing where it's like almost like some Mongol shit and they make a didgeridoo.
02:07:29.000 Oh yeah, here we go.
02:07:29.000 It's right in the beginning of this.
02:07:34.000 Yeah.
02:07:37.000 It's like that monk chant.
02:07:39.000 That's what Duncan Trussell does before he goes to sleep.
02:07:43.000 Wow.
02:07:44.000 This is fucking cool.
02:07:46.000 Yeah, it was pretty good.
02:07:47.000 Bro, I need to see this movie.
02:07:50.000 I saw the original one.
02:07:52.000 Way back in the Disney.
02:07:53.000 I saw a long copy of it that doesn't...
02:07:57.000 It was like George C. Scott doing the opening and not...
02:08:01.000 Oh, really?
02:08:01.000 The one where the girl who plays the princess is doing it is one of the worst.
02:08:05.000 She goes, oh, and I forgot one more thing.
02:08:08.000 She says that...
02:08:11.000 The plan is called Dune.
02:08:15.000 It's such a bad cut, but I think this was an Alan Smithy one.
02:08:19.000 When I was in art school, my friend Tom had it.
02:08:21.000 It was actually, I liked it a lot.
02:08:23.000 Do you think we're sliding into some science fiction movie dystopia?
02:08:27.000 It's just happening.
02:08:28.000 Yeah.
02:08:29.000 Slowly and unstoppably.
02:08:31.000 I think it happened 20 years ago, and you're just slowly learning of it now.
02:08:35.000 And we're gonna wake up one day when things are horrific, and that will be our normal existence.
02:08:41.000 And if we saw that today, we'd be terrified.
02:08:45.000 We'd be terrified.
02:08:46.000 It's gonna be like the Terminator.
02:08:48.000 It's gonna be like flying drones that know where your location is at all times.
02:08:52.000 Dude, that movie that you showed, that Collapse movie, which I remember when that came out, and how bizarre that is, that it's getting great reviews back then, because it was like...
02:09:02.000 Kind of right-wingy.
02:09:03.000 Well, that's not right.
02:09:05.000 That doesn't even sound right-wingy.
02:09:06.000 No, it's like anti...
02:09:07.000 That's what they would say now.
02:09:08.000 Yeah, that's what they would say now.
02:09:10.000 Oh, you think it's bad, though?
02:09:11.000 The Wars, you're really right-wing.
02:09:12.000 Like, do you even know?
02:09:13.000 Right.
02:09:13.000 So nothing means anything.
02:09:15.000 It's all like a label that could be changed at a moment's notice, and you're supposed to forget what it meant Like two weeks ago.
02:09:21.000 The fact that it can be changed at a moment, Ellis, and the fact that you can get people to support war, you can get people to ignore the existence of the military-industrial complex and the amount of money that is involved in that and the influence that that has.
02:09:36.000 Dude, that's the worst part of that Jon Stewart thing, because you can see he's like, I'm not trying to hold your feet if I keep doing that, because he wants to get to something.
02:09:46.000 And then what he gets to is, okay, I know, do you think this isn't cost-effective for our empire?
02:09:53.000 The only appeal he makes to him is, maybe we're stretching our empire too thin, and is it fiscally...
02:09:58.000 That's all he'll broach the topic with them.
02:10:00.000 That's how fucking warped it is.
02:10:02.000 But is that the only way you could have that conversation with them?
02:10:05.000 Do they have parameters, you think?
02:10:07.000 Yeah, why would they even show up to that?
02:10:08.000 But would John push that?
02:10:10.000 Or would John know that this is the way to get access to these peoples?
02:10:13.000 You have to be able to have these kind of interviews with him.
02:10:15.000 I would love to know.
02:10:16.000 Because, first of all, there's no way he doesn't know by now that that medal he put on the guy that was a guy with a Nazi tattoo.
02:10:22.000 Now he probably knows.
02:10:23.000 There's no way he doesn't know.
02:10:25.000 Yeah, he probably knows now.
02:10:26.000 It's just the thing of having faith in the, like, let's not give up on this, just not.
02:10:32.000 It still works.
02:10:33.000 Like, what's his name?
02:10:34.000 Jan Wenner?
02:10:35.000 Mm-hmm.
02:10:36.000 The thing where he's like, yeah, the drug supply is really safe.
02:10:39.000 He was watching somebody who's like a legendary founder of a thing who's like, so like, no, like Ben and Jerry are in charge now.
02:10:49.000 It's the good people are the establishment.
02:10:50.000 It's all being taken care of.
02:10:52.000 And they don't read.
02:10:53.000 They know people.
02:10:54.000 So they just assume it's all, you know.
02:10:56.000 They assume everything is fine because that's what the narrative is.
02:10:58.000 And if you're a good person, you go with the narrative.
02:11:00.000 There you go!
02:11:01.000 Do you remember when they had the fucking Boston bomber on the cover and they got criticized because he was hot?
02:11:06.000 Oh, yeah.
02:11:07.000 Do you remember that?
02:11:08.000 Find that photo.
02:11:09.000 He looks like a teen idol.
02:11:12.000 He's a handsome fella.
02:11:14.000 That dreamboat terrorist?
02:11:15.000 Dreamboat terrorist.
02:11:16.000 Not like the meaner older brother with his...
02:11:18.000 Look at him there.
02:11:20.000 Yeah.
02:11:21.000 No, I mean, he does look like a boy band.
02:11:23.000 Look at that.
02:11:24.000 He looks like he's some fucking new guy.
02:11:26.000 He's the new hot guy the girls have on their wall.
02:11:29.000 Were they Chechen?
02:11:30.000 I don't know what he was.
02:11:31.000 Is that what they said?
02:11:34.000 Well, that wasn't that long ago, huh?
02:11:36.000 Yeah, because...
02:11:36.000 Terry Clark Jr. Remember back when we had no problem with Russia because the Chechens and Muslim terrorists and they cracked down on that?
02:11:45.000 This whole thing is wild.
02:11:47.000 But the fact that they found it disgusting and shameful, tasteless, a slap in the face to America.
02:11:53.000 Boston public officials have issued similar appraisals.
02:11:57.000 Mayor Thomas Menino called it a total disgrace.
02:12:01.000 CVS, Walgreens, and other local retailers have promised not to sell the issue.
02:12:06.000 Wow.
02:12:06.000 But that's just because his face was cute.
02:12:09.000 Scroll back up.
02:12:10.000 Imagine if you look like Harvey Weinstein.
02:12:12.000 I mean, you tell me he's not way hotter than the FTX kid?
02:12:16.000 He's hot.
02:12:17.000 They got full page...
02:12:18.000 Look at him, he's a handsome fellow.
02:12:19.000 I know, I think he didn't do it the more I look at his picture.
02:12:24.000 I don't think he could have with those lips.
02:12:27.000 But if his head was shaved and he was ugly, would they still have him on the cover?
02:12:31.000 But the thing is, why do they have him on the cover?
02:12:33.000 Why take a terrifying, awful situation like that and make the person a star?
02:12:39.000 Well, number one, that's the most important thing.
02:12:42.000 I bet you sell a bunch of copies of Rolling Stone with that as the cover.
02:12:46.000 A dreamy terrorist?
02:12:47.000 Would you like to be in the room when they made that call?
02:12:50.000 Um...
02:12:51.000 Do we put the terrorist dreamboat on the cover or Gary Clark Jr?
02:12:57.000 Because Gary Clark Jr is on the cover too.
02:12:59.000 Who's Gary Clark Jr?
02:12:59.000 He's the baddest motherfucker alive.
02:13:01.000 You don't know who Gary Clark Jr is?
02:13:03.000 I think Dozer, Sawyer, Strikes, Aerotops is more bad than him.
02:13:06.000 He's one of the greatest guitarists that's ever lived.
02:13:08.000 Oh, oh, oh.
02:13:08.000 I thought you meant like...
02:13:09.000 No, he's alive right now.
02:13:10.000 He lives in Austin, Texas.
02:13:12.000 He's the fucking man.
02:13:13.000 Oh, I didn't know anything about him.
02:13:14.000 Him and Suzanne Santo did a cover of Midnight Rider once.
02:13:18.000 I saw it at a live club.
02:13:20.000 To this day, like one of the greatest musical performances I've ever seen.
02:13:23.000 It's Gary Clark Jr.'s version of the Allman Brothers' Midnight Rider with Suzanne Santo singing, and she doesn't totally know the words, so she Googled it and got the fucking lyrics on her phone.
02:13:34.000 She's singing perfectly.
02:13:36.000 Her version of Midnight Rider off of a fucking phone impromptu.
02:13:40.000 Where were you?
02:13:41.000 There was like a small club in downtown LA. Oh, no shit.
02:13:45.000 Yes.
02:13:46.000 I was with my oldest daughter and Suzanne and Gary Clark Jr. and Ben because Honey Honey was together back then.
02:13:52.000 And it was like some Smirnoff thing or some shit.
02:13:56.000 Some fucking liquor company put together some event where they were going to perform live.
02:14:02.000 It was like...
02:14:04.000 150 people in the room.
02:14:05.000 It was like a midnight on a Tuesday in downtown LA. It was fucking amazing.
02:14:11.000 And I recorded some of it and put it on the Instagram.
02:14:14.000 Find the video.
02:14:16.000 It was so fucking good, dude.
02:14:18.000 This video from my stupid phone is only going to capture just a trace of the magic in the room.
02:14:27.000 But when it was happening in the room, it was like, holy shit, this is good.
02:14:31.000 You're reminding me of...
02:14:32.000 Here he is.
02:14:39.000 That's Gary Clark Jr., motherfucker.
02:14:41.000 Oh, I know who that is.
02:14:42.000 Okay.
02:14:42.000 Listen to that.
02:14:48.000 And this is just from my phone.
02:14:50.000 Yeah, right.
02:14:51.000 You know how good this sounded there?
02:14:53.000 Yeah, no, I was going to say a phone is going to be like the least...
02:14:56.000 It's Jameson.
02:14:57.000 That's what it was.
02:15:20.000 Goddamn, that's good!
02:15:24.000 See, she's reading the lyrics right now off her phone.
02:15:26.000 Look at that.
02:15:27.000 She doesn't know them!
02:15:32.000 How wild was that?
02:15:33.000 Was that the end of it?
02:15:35.000 You know what you just reminded me of, dude?
02:15:37.000 Artie Lang's story of...
02:15:39.000 Remember Prince played Silent Live party?
02:15:43.000 Like the after party of Silent Live one time?
02:15:46.000 Oh yeah?
02:15:46.000 It was one night when I went to that party and it was with Artie Lang.
02:15:51.000 I want to say Frank Sebastiano.
02:15:54.000 But Prince was supposed to show up.
02:15:56.000 I guess maybe he did much later, but Artie wanted to sit in the front row and heckle him and scream.
02:16:03.000 Play Raspberry Beret!
02:16:07.000 He was just going to be a fat guy.
02:16:09.000 He wanted Prince to see a fat guy.
02:16:11.000 Raspberry Beret!
02:16:14.000 Thank God he didn't do that.
02:16:15.000 Yeah, I think Prince went to like the real after party or something was what it was.
02:16:20.000 There's like a real one.
02:16:22.000 I had a chance to see Prince once live at the foundation room at the House of Blues in Vegas.
02:16:30.000 I decided it was too late.
02:16:32.000 I'm gonna go to sleep.
02:16:33.000 You know where I saw him one time?
02:16:34.000 In person?
02:16:35.000 At Ben Glebe's birthday party.
02:16:37.000 Really?
02:16:37.000 Yeah, first time.
02:16:38.000 He was walking around?
02:16:39.000 It was at this club and Prince came in.
02:16:41.000 He was real smart.
02:16:42.000 Because, you know, he was a Jehovah Witness for a minute.
02:16:45.000 Prince was?
02:16:45.000 Oh yeah, so I wanted to ask him all about.
02:16:47.000 But you can't even get near Prince.
02:16:49.000 So, Christian scientists are the ones that don't let you go to the doctor, right?
02:16:54.000 I'm not really clear.
02:16:55.000 I know that was something part of it at one point, but that's...
02:16:57.000 Not Jehovah Witness, huh?
02:16:59.000 No, that's Mary Baker Eddy.
02:17:01.000 So was he Jehovah Witness as a child like you were?
02:17:05.000 No, as an adult.
02:17:05.000 Or was he a late adopter?
02:17:07.000 Yeah.
02:17:08.000 Yeah, he went door to door.
02:17:10.000 Whoa.
02:17:11.000 How old was he?
02:17:12.000 I don't know.
02:17:12.000 I feel like Chris Rock had a joke about it or something.
02:17:15.000 Somebody had a joke about it, about Prince knocking on your door.
02:17:18.000 Like...
02:17:19.000 It was when he's an adult, like...
02:17:21.000 All I'm hearing about Chris Rock is that he's on fire right now.
02:17:26.000 Oh, I bet.
02:17:27.000 All this, like, getting slapped by Will Smith and the Academy of Plot.
02:17:31.000 I think that lit a fire into that dude.
02:17:32.000 All I've been hearing.
02:17:33.000 I heard he destroyed here in Austin.
02:17:35.000 Well, if you watch that recording...
02:17:38.000 Also, right before that...
02:17:44.000 So, you know Tim Dillon, right?
02:17:46.000 I did a live show that he had at the main room, okay?
02:17:50.000 And after, Chris Rock came up and talked to me.
02:17:52.000 He was like, yeah, it was really fun.
02:17:53.000 It was, like, really cool, okay?
02:17:55.000 And then he hit me up a couple weeks later to maybe help write jokes for stuff.
02:17:58.000 You know, like, so I was like, awesome.
02:18:00.000 He was, like, an awesome guy.
02:18:01.000 Like, I talked to him for, like, a couple hours on the phone.
02:18:03.000 We talked.
02:18:05.000 And so...
02:18:07.000 I didn't know what the timetable, because he did mention jokes for the Oscars, okay?
02:18:11.000 But I don't know when all that stuff is, and I'm not good with email.
02:18:15.000 So, we...
02:18:16.000 I know where this is going.
02:18:18.000 So I just figured he'd text me, but that's how Louie wrote his email.
02:18:25.000 So I was getting all this emails from the guy.
02:18:29.000 I'm working on Kyle's thing and Jimmy's thing.
02:18:31.000 I had no concept of when anything was.
02:18:34.000 So I had to go do Winnipeg.
02:18:36.000 And while I was coming home from Winnipeg, I get a call from my manager.
02:18:41.000 She's like, did you write a joke about Will Smith's white?
02:18:44.000 And I go, oh shit, the Oscars was tonight?
02:18:50.000 So you're responsible?
02:18:52.000 I like to think I'm not.
02:18:55.000 So you wrote the G.I. Jane?
02:18:57.000 No, I think that was an in-the-moment thing.
02:19:01.000 Well, I think I was in a moment, because when I watch that, I don't, well, this is what I'd be thinking, which looks to me like Chris Rogers thinking is, first of all, this is the worst gig ever, being a funny comedian at the Oscars.
02:19:12.000 It's a terrible gig.
02:19:13.000 Right?
02:19:14.000 And he's not a big, like, improv guy.
02:19:16.000 Like, he likes to do jokes and polish them, you know?
02:19:19.000 So Will Smith is coming on stage, and you're like, alright, I'm gonna have to, it's an Oscar moment, right?
02:19:23.000 So I gotta get ready whenever Will Smith wants to improv.
02:19:26.000 And I'll bet you, up until Contact, I'll bet you he thought it was like a fake...
02:19:30.000 Right.
02:19:31.000 I'm sure, like, that's what I would have thought, and I would have been, because I don't like to have to deal, like, until it hit him, I bet he didn't even realize it was an actual thing until right when he hit him.
02:19:42.000 I think he didn't hit him hard.
02:19:45.000 No, but, I mean.
02:19:46.000 I think he just did that.
02:19:47.000 It's still shocking.
02:19:48.000 I mean, definitely.
02:19:49.000 But people are like, you know, like, why didn't it knock him down?
02:19:52.000 I don't think he hit him hard.
02:19:53.000 I think he probably wanted to hit him hard, then realized when he was about to hit him.
02:19:59.000 It's such a- It's so weird to watch.
02:20:02.000 Oh my god.
02:20:03.000 Did that really happen?
02:20:04.000 It was a terrible slap.
02:20:06.000 Yeah.
02:20:06.000 And then you're like, oh, I gotta keep the show going.
02:20:09.000 Like, there's a big gig.
02:20:11.000 There's nothing worse than- And now he's feeling it, right?
02:20:13.000 Now his adrenaline spiked.
02:20:15.000 He's like, what the fuck?
02:20:17.000 Keep my wife's name out of your fucking mouth.
02:20:20.000 Look at Chris.
02:20:22.000 I mean, what a hell gig, dude.
02:20:28.000 Anyway, I bet he has a great side right now.
02:20:31.000 I hear he's fucking murdering.
02:20:34.000 Segura went to see him.
02:20:35.000 He said it was awesome.
02:20:36.000 He said it was awesome.
02:20:37.000 He said it's like Chris Rock from Bigger and Blacker, like Bring the Pain, like that level, just crushing.
02:20:46.000 Will Smith reignited the beast.
02:20:49.000 Holy shit.
02:20:50.000 Yeah, I mean, think about it, man.
02:20:51.000 He probably wanted to be a part of that whole fucking industry thing.
02:20:55.000 That's why you host the Oscars in the first place, right?
02:20:57.000 Oh, that's a good point, too.
02:20:58.000 And then get slapped by this guy who winds up winning the Oscar, and they give him a fucking standing ovation after you got slapped by that guy.
02:21:07.000 They all cheer and stand up.
02:21:09.000 Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
02:21:11.000 You can't unsee that.
02:21:12.000 Yeah, right.
02:21:12.000 Yeah, these are crazy people.
02:21:14.000 These are crazy people.
02:21:15.000 I saw it.
02:21:16.000 I remember when, what's his name, at the Emmys when Jeffrey Tambor won for Transparent.
02:21:22.000 Remember he got like Me Too'd off that show?
02:21:24.000 Because he was sexually harassing the trans co-stars.
02:21:27.000 They were saying that.
02:21:28.000 Yeah, and I remember, so this is before any Caitlyn Jenner.
02:21:31.000 He was saying he didn't do anything.
02:21:34.000 I mean, I kind of believe, I think they wanted him off the show.
02:21:36.000 So here's why I think they just want him off the show.
02:21:40.000 Well, I think Jill Soloway's not Jill Soloway now.
02:21:42.000 But at the time, won the Emmy.
02:21:46.000 I remember she was like, fight the patriarchy.
02:21:50.000 Like, sweetie, do you think the patriarchy's not in charge of you?
02:21:56.000 You have this reminder to let you know who's in charge.
02:21:58.000 It's like all sharp.
02:22:00.000 It'll stab you if you...
02:22:01.000 So he goes, if I could be the last cis man to play a trans woman, I wouldn't be sad.
02:22:07.000 And the whole crowd's like, yeah!
02:22:10.000 I'm just watching.
02:22:10.000 It's like if Al Jolson was like, if I could be the last blackface performer.
02:22:14.000 And they're all like, oh.
02:22:17.000 And so just a couple years later, I'm sure all those people would be like, how dare you have played...
02:22:23.000 But they were all rooting for it, and I'm like, I bet half of you have never even watched this show.
02:22:27.000 Probably more.
02:22:27.000 Do you know the hardcore feminists are now, well, the TERFs, are now using the term woman face?
02:22:34.000 I've been saying that.
02:22:38.000 I have a whole joke about that for a while, and I've yet to hear why.
02:22:42.000 I remember years ago asking somebody, a producer, when that was Rachel Dolezal.
02:22:48.000 I was just asking this.
02:22:50.000 This was not as big a controversy of a thing at the time.
02:22:55.000 But I was like, well, how is that different?
02:22:57.000 Because I knew a bunch of people that were trans.
02:22:58.000 It was in New York for 20 years.
02:23:00.000 They're transracial.
02:23:01.000 I'm just asking, why can't you be that?
02:23:04.000 I've never gotten a...
02:23:05.000 I've tried to find a satisfying answer.
02:23:07.000 I've never gotten one.
02:23:08.000 But this person, I'll never forget.
02:23:09.000 He goes, Kurt.
02:23:12.000 That's the answer.
02:23:14.000 Like, I thought about that for years, dude.
02:23:16.000 It's just like, don't do this.
02:23:19.000 That's the answer to just asking a question like that.
02:23:22.000 And in fact, I would say everything I can't stand in every business is the, is that the hill you want to die on?
02:23:30.000 That's a good one.
02:23:31.000 That's a good one.
02:23:32.000 I've heard people say for years.
02:23:33.000 And what the fuck does that mean?
02:23:34.000 That means...
02:23:36.000 Like, you're running for office.
02:23:38.000 Do I tell the truth about this now or do I save my political capital for when it's really important to be honest?
02:23:45.000 I'm not running for anything.
02:23:46.000 I can be honest whatever the fuck I want.
02:23:48.000 But you're supposed to have that.
02:23:50.000 Like, is this the hill?
02:23:51.000 Why do I have to die in a hill about...
02:23:56.000 You're asking a question that's a legitimate question.
02:23:59.000 Am I going to be killed?
02:24:00.000 But it's a funny thing that there's certain things you're not allowed to question.
02:24:05.000 Yeah, Kanye was right about that part of knowing you shouldn't talk.
02:24:09.000 I remember in his interview with Tucker, Kyle did an impression of it.
02:24:15.000 Did he?
02:24:16.000 Oh, I did see that, the rap, when he does the rap thing.
02:24:18.000 But one thing Kanye said, which is a good point, is you just train to know what to not even get into.
02:24:24.000 It's not a thing of being afraid of any specific thing.
02:24:26.000 Just be afraid of...
02:24:28.000 Like you're a human AdSense bot.
02:24:33.000 You're like, oh, that might not be good for my...
02:24:35.000 Right?
02:24:35.000 Around the time when you became a brand, I remember it was having a brand.
02:24:39.000 Yeah.
02:24:39.000 Then you are a brand.
02:24:41.000 So you're not even the cow...
02:24:43.000 Anymore that gets branded you're the fucking brand.
02:24:46.000 That's what you are now That's what I know not to talk to a person.
02:24:49.000 Yeah, I love what you've done with your brand Kurt.
02:24:51.000 Oh my god No, no one has ever said that to me once I just did I'm so glad I'm the first No one has ever handled my brand.
02:25:03.000 Well, I've had a dozen people tell me that Well, but okay, that's that's your brand, but what is better than but I mean, but still nonsense Yeah, but that was the first...
02:25:13.000 I bet I could guess their age from if they said, I love your brand, because there was a time when that was...
02:25:18.000 Yeah, but then it became, you are the brand.
02:25:23.000 So you wouldn't even think about it and of it belonging to you.
02:25:25.000 You're it.
02:25:26.000 How do you manage yourself as a brand, Kurt?
02:25:29.000 Not well.
02:25:32.000 Like three kids on each other's shoulders with a trench coat trying to get into a dirty movie.
02:25:40.000 Sherrod told me I look like that.
02:25:42.000 That's a perfect fucking description.
02:25:44.000 Oh my god, that's hilarious.
02:25:47.000 That's a perfect description.
02:25:49.000 Sherrod said to me a long time ago.
02:25:51.000 And that's exactly how I walk downstairs.
02:25:58.000 Not an ounce of coordination.
02:26:00.000 That's hilarious.
02:26:02.000 Yeah.
02:26:03.000 There's some creepy ass thing that happened where you, like...
02:26:06.000 So when all that you fight, people fight, you know, they go, is it hurting comedy?
02:26:10.000 Cancel culture?
02:26:10.000 Is it hurting?
02:26:11.000 Like, it's not hurting.
02:26:12.000 Comedy is probably the only way you can talk now.
02:26:14.000 It's hurting if you're just saying what you think.
02:26:16.000 It's one of the few things that you can still talk about ridiculously controversial shit.
02:26:21.000 Yeah.
02:26:22.000 And make jokes.
02:26:23.000 As long as it's funny.
02:26:24.000 It's much worse than it killing comedy.
02:26:25.000 It's killing you just speaking your mind.
02:26:28.000 Yeah.
02:26:28.000 And you have, like...
02:26:29.000 Having opinions at the workplace.
02:26:31.000 Yeah, right.
02:26:32.000 But everything is based on are you representing the company?
02:26:35.000 Like in your personal time, how is your life reflecting the company?
02:26:40.000 And that's what all that little cancel bullshit, what it did is made your life...
02:26:44.000 Not just the company, but universities.
02:26:47.000 Did you hear about that kid that got his scholarship revoked?
02:26:50.000 Because there was a video of him singing along to a rap song and he says the N-word?
02:26:55.000 I mean, how many of the...
02:26:56.000 What was the story with that?
02:27:00.000 Yeah, pull that story up.
02:27:01.000 How the hell, okay, by the way, how the hell is Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister with like three blackface incidents that I know of?
02:27:11.000 I mean, have you ever seen how insane it looks?
02:27:13.000 That is the least of my worries with that guy.
02:27:17.000 No, I know, but it's such an amazing...
02:27:19.000 The scary thing with him is what they're doing with the WEF. Wait, does it say the rap N-word?
02:27:25.000 Yeah, he rapped along to some song.
02:27:27.000 He raps N-word on camera, loses University of Florida scholarship.
02:27:33.000 It's not his own rap, right?
02:27:35.000 Especially in Florida.
02:27:36.000 Was he singing along to a song, along to the words, and posted...
02:27:41.000 What is it?
02:27:41.000 Click on what it says there?
02:27:43.000 I was in my car listening to rap music, rapping along to the words and posted a video of it on social media.
02:27:50.000 He wrote, I deeply apologize for the words in the song that I chose to say.
02:27:54.000 It was hurtful and offensive to many people and I regret that.
02:27:59.000 So they took away a scholarship.
02:28:01.000 Okay, but he still could be Prime Minister of Canada though.
02:28:03.000 He actually, I mean, he didn't, I guess he had a scholarship.
02:28:06.000 He's just not, he wasn't even enrolled yet.
02:28:08.000 He's still in high school.
02:28:09.000 Oh.
02:28:09.000 It's like he's going to go somewhere else probably.
02:28:10.000 So he can't get a scholarship there.
02:28:12.000 Yeah, at that school.
02:28:13.000 Someone else, a professional player was like, he'll probably get a scholarship somewhere else though.
02:28:16.000 Just not this school.
02:28:17.000 So did he used to have a scholarship there and they revoked it?
02:28:20.000 I don't even know if, I'll look and see if they revoked it.
02:28:23.000 He might have just stepped down and just been like, alright, let's not get involved in this.
02:28:27.000 No.
02:28:27.000 I fully accept the consequence of my action.
02:28:29.000 I respect the University of Florida's decision to withdraw my scholarship offer to play football.
02:28:34.000 Yeah, it's just an offer though.
02:28:37.000 Okay, but they did have a scholarship offer to him and they withdrew it.
02:28:41.000 That was the thing.
02:28:41.000 Do you see the con here?
02:28:43.000 He had an offer to go smash his brain into Swiss cheese and not be compensated properly.
02:28:48.000 That's been revoked.
02:28:49.000 Speaking of Swiss cheese, have you ever seen that video of Mickey Mouse making Swiss cheese with his dick?
02:28:54.000 No.
02:28:55.000 There's an old, old, old, old Mickey Mouse cartoon.
02:28:58.000 That Walt Disney himself made.
02:29:00.000 Someone from the Walt Disney Organization.
02:29:04.000 I don't want to pin it on Walt.
02:29:06.000 Will I get to see it now?
02:29:07.000 Yeah, watch.
02:29:07.000 So look, he's fucking, he's got his dick.
02:29:10.000 Oh, with his boner.
02:29:10.000 Okay, but he's wearing pants.
02:29:12.000 He's got a boner.
02:29:13.000 And he's putting holes in his Swiss cheese with his boner.
02:29:17.000 I always knew that's how I did it.
02:29:18.000 Look at that.
02:29:19.000 Mickey has a boner, and he's making Swiss cheese with his dick.
02:29:23.000 My God, look at him.
02:29:24.000 I mean, it's in the middle of his fucking pants.
02:29:26.000 It's not in any other place other than where a dick's supposed to be.
02:29:30.000 What are we supposed to think there?
02:29:31.000 I don't know.
02:29:32.000 That's 100% Mickey's dick.
02:29:33.000 I feel like watching Jon Stewart hanging a metal on a Nazi right now.
02:29:40.000 How crazy is that?
02:29:42.000 I'm going to read, but Snopes says this is false, even though we just watched it.
02:29:46.000 What does Snopes say?
02:29:47.000 I don't know.
02:29:48.000 Because Snopes is bought and paid for it, bro.
02:29:49.000 It says it's not doing what we're seeing.
02:29:52.000 Okay, what does Snopes say?
02:29:53.000 Does this Disney cartoon show Mickey Mouse inappropriately making Swiss cheese?
02:29:58.000 Okay, you've got to read these because they're sometimes crazy.
02:30:02.000 Why?
02:30:03.000 Why is it false?
02:30:04.000 Somebody made it the bit of animation was created in 2011 So this bit of animation was created on the B3TA board an internet forum that frequently features photoshopped images in March of 2011 But even without knowing the source behind the image viewers can spot many other factors that demonstrate It was not part of an official Disney film I,
02:30:31.000 for one, rest easy now.
02:30:33.000 Like a recent TikTok trend.
02:30:36.000 These things go fast and viral on TikTok and no one fax checks anything.
02:30:40.000 Oh, so it's a Steamboat Willie, so they cut out...
02:30:43.000 Yeah, TikTok is really...
02:30:44.000 I didn't think it could be possible, and if I thought it was possible, the thing that was getting me like, how do I not know this yet?
02:30:50.000 No, that's what I was thinking, because The Little Mermaid, just the mere suggestion that there were dicks hidden in the background of the cover.
02:30:56.000 Was there?
02:30:57.000 Yeah, the Little Mermaid thing that...
02:30:59.000 There was dicks hidden?
02:30:59.000 I don't even know if that's to this day, if that was real or not.
02:31:03.000 Do you remember the stuff that would go around?
02:31:05.000 When I was a kid, I heard this.
02:31:06.000 Do you remember the Little Mermaid one?
02:31:08.000 I don't know that specifically, but it's a meme itself that there's a whole bunch of hidden stuff in old Disney stuff.
02:31:15.000 Do you remember these misinformations?
02:31:17.000 Some of it looks real and some of it is like...
02:31:18.000 Some of it could be like this though, right?
02:31:20.000 Some of it could be like the boner...
02:31:22.000 How did he make Swiss cheese?
02:31:23.000 How did Mickey?
02:31:24.000 So the whole Mickey Swiss cheese thing was fake.
02:31:26.000 There was no Swiss cheese factory.
02:31:29.000 That's hilarious.
02:31:29.000 Wow.
02:31:30.000 The phallus...
02:31:31.000 Yeah, so this says the phallus purposely added the artwork for the Little Mermaid VHS cover.
02:31:35.000 It's also not real, but I don't have to look at this.
02:31:38.000 They got you, Kurt.
02:31:39.000 It could be Photoshopped.
02:31:40.000 We didn't have any...
02:31:41.000 Remember this?
02:31:43.000 Did you ever hear this rumor?
02:31:45.000 This was when I was in high school.
02:31:46.000 This was going around.
02:31:47.000 And it was usually church people.
02:31:51.000 I heard it from a sister in Jehovah's Witnesses, but I also heard it from kids that were evangelical.
02:31:57.000 That Procter& Gamble, you know, the shampoo magnates, I guess, went on.
02:32:02.000 It was Phil Donahue.
02:32:03.000 I've heard other talk shows, but Phil Donahue to announce that they worship Satan, and that's why they're putting a satanic symbol on the shampoo.
02:32:11.000 What?
02:32:12.000 Yeah, and Phil Donahue's like, don't you think Christians are going to be mad?
02:32:14.000 And then they go, there's not enough Christians to stop us.
02:32:17.000 I heard that exact thing go around.
02:32:20.000 And I was 17 when I heard it.
02:32:21.000 It didn't sound...
02:32:24.000 Yeah, it didn't sound plausible to me as a 17-year-old.
02:32:27.000 Look at this.
02:32:28.000 The company spent decades battling false claims that it was in league with the devil.
02:32:33.000 You know what that's like?
02:32:34.000 It's like the rigid-geared gerbil-in-the-ass rumor.
02:32:36.000 Yeah, right.
02:32:37.000 He blamed Stallone for many years.
02:32:39.000 Did you know that?
02:32:40.000 No.
02:32:41.000 He says Stallone did it?
02:32:43.000 Yeah, that was like, because I would check that news when I knew.
02:32:46.000 Him and Stallone were feuding?
02:32:47.000 I think it's like 65 years before the government releases if that happens.
02:32:52.000 It's even longer than...
02:32:54.000 Did Sylvester Stallone start the rigid gear drama rumor?
02:32:58.000 An investigation?
02:32:59.000 Oh, they investigated!
02:33:01.000 Because it's not even a thing, right?
02:33:02.000 People don't actually do that.
02:33:04.000 I don't know.
02:33:04.000 Do they do that?
02:33:05.000 I'm sure somebody tried after the rumor, but it's, you know.
02:33:08.000 Dude, my buddy Steve worked, he did his residency in Miami in the 1980s during the cocaine days.
02:33:14.000 So he did a lot of time in the emergency room.
02:33:16.000 He said, we found everything up people's asses.
02:33:18.000 G.I. Joe dolls, light bulbs.
02:33:20.000 They found light bulbs up a guy's ass.
02:33:22.000 Oh yeah, everything.
02:33:23.000 Coke bottles, everything.
02:33:24.000 Yeah, I used to have a joke about that, humans being the only animal to sometimes stick other animals in their asses.
02:33:31.000 That's how you know we're superior.
02:33:35.000 We'll just eat you.
02:33:37.000 We'll use you as a suppository.
02:33:39.000 Yeah, whatever.
02:33:40.000 Just for shits and giggles.
02:33:41.000 I ran out of things to use you for.
02:33:42.000 Dan Savage says this is an unverified and persistent urban legend.
02:33:46.000 Hmm.
02:33:46.000 Because once people say a stupid thing like that, though, someone will try it.
02:33:50.000 Well, we don't think it's real.
02:33:52.000 But what was the root of it?
02:33:53.000 Like, who started it?
02:33:55.000 But that wasn't one of those things.
02:33:56.000 Like, if you're Richard Gere and you walked into a party, people would start, like, making jokes.
02:34:01.000 Did it harm his career, do you think?
02:34:03.000 That...
02:34:04.000 That's a good question.
02:34:06.000 I don't know.
02:34:08.000 I mean, it certainly harmed his reputation if people thought it was real.
02:34:11.000 Well, imagine a rumor that spreads across the entire country about you sticking a rat in your ass.
02:34:16.000 Yeah.
02:34:17.000 But no one else.
02:34:18.000 Just you.
02:34:19.000 I'd be upset.
02:34:19.000 I might want to point fingers at Stallone.
02:34:21.000 There's no Clint Eastwood rumors of a rat in the ass.
02:34:24.000 Here's what we know.
02:34:24.000 Gere claims he never had a gerbil in his butt.
02:34:30.000 Imagine just having to say that they win.
02:34:33.000 Stallone claims he never started the rumor, although we must now investigate his hatred for chicken mustard grease.
02:34:39.000 What?
02:34:39.000 What?
02:34:41.000 It said no one can corroborate the definitive start of the rumor nor the debiliterity of it ever happening, and the world spins badly on.
02:34:49.000 Okay.
02:34:50.000 But those, they wouldn't get corrected, those things.
02:34:52.000 You know, like the Procter& Gamble was so, so dumb.
02:34:56.000 There was no internet.
02:34:56.000 It was just word of mouth.
02:34:58.000 Oh, that's so crazy.
02:34:59.000 If that happens, like this Balenciaga thing that I sent you, Jamie?
02:35:03.000 Oh, yeah.
02:35:04.000 What is that about?
02:35:05.000 That's probably some guerrilla, some firm, like, pushing the envelope for Balenciaga.
02:35:10.000 Is that what it is?
02:35:11.000 Because Balenciaga, you know, they're one of them, like, your Coco Chanel, fascist era.
02:35:16.000 Very, yeah.
02:35:17.000 They're friends with, the guy was friends with Franco, Cristobal, Balenciaga.
02:35:22.000 So, You know, their image, they probably, didn't they disavow Kanye or something?
02:35:28.000 Yes.
02:35:29.000 And they're like a former Nazi company?
02:35:30.000 Well, they disavowed Kanye, and then people started, I guess, looking into them.
02:35:34.000 Or maybe, coincidentally, at the same time, all this stuff started coming out.
02:35:37.000 I don't know.
02:35:38.000 I never heard of them.
02:35:39.000 I guess that's like a high up...
02:35:41.000 It's one of those things you hear about, but I have no interest in purses.
02:35:45.000 So I hear about Balenciaga, I'm like, okay.
02:35:48.000 Is that what it is?
02:35:48.000 That's what they make purses?
02:35:49.000 What do they make?
02:35:50.000 Sunglasses.
02:35:51.000 What do they make, Jamie?
02:35:52.000 It's like high-end, fancy shit.
02:35:55.000 That shit doesn't mean anything to me.
02:35:57.000 Yeah, I know.
02:35:58.000 I hear about that, I'm like, okay.
02:35:59.000 It's like you won a game of Go.
02:36:01.000 Congratulations.
02:36:02.000 I'm sure you're smart.
02:36:03.000 When I went to China, there was...
02:36:06.000 I didn't see anything that looked like communism there.
02:36:09.000 I saw like almost an 80s movie, kind of hyper, like that, you know, like name brand.
02:36:14.000 But there's a lot of counterfeit stuff, so I'm in a hotel.
02:36:17.000 I say, I ate nothing.
02:36:19.000 I had a hard time finding Chinese stuff.
02:36:21.000 What'd you eat?
02:36:22.000 Like, hotel food.
02:36:24.000 Yeah, very, by the way, very well done.
02:36:26.000 I don't mean cooked well done, I mean good food.
02:36:29.000 It was very good, but I had.
02:36:31.000 So it was like, it wasn't expensive at the time.
02:36:34.000 It was like in 2016 before the election.
02:36:36.000 And they were kind of into Trump, the people that I talked to at the time.
02:36:39.000 Really?
02:36:40.000 They were like, he's a businessman, so he's good.
02:36:42.000 See, it was very like that when I was there.
02:36:43.000 And this girl in front of me had on this jacket with a price tag hanging off the back.
02:36:48.000 And I don't remember what.
02:36:50.000 It was like something thousands of probably Juwan.
02:36:53.000 But hanging off the back of the jacket.
02:36:55.000 To let everybody know how much it cost.
02:36:57.000 It was such a big price tag.
02:36:58.000 It looked like, remember Minnie Pearl from Hee Haw with the hat?
02:37:01.000 It was like that big.
02:37:03.000 And the jacket was an Ed Hardy jean jacket that was clearly not made by Ed Hardy.
02:37:08.000 So it was clearly a knockoff.
02:37:09.000 And when I went there, they used to have this cool black market around Shanghai where you could find, like, what I wish I could have got was the Nike Reeboks.
02:37:19.000 They had sneakers that said both Nike and Reebok on them.
02:37:23.000 But that was all over with by the time I got there.
02:37:26.000 But they still have entire stores over there that are Apple stores that are not really Apple stores.
02:37:32.000 Everything in there is counterfeit.
02:37:34.000 Yeah, because I think I view IPs differently than here.
02:37:37.000 Yeah, they don't at all.
02:37:39.000 They're like, tough shit.
02:37:40.000 Yeah, it's like, I don't even understand why I wouldn't do this thing.
02:37:45.000 Well, it's like the scooping up of intellectual information.
02:37:50.000 What they do with, like, that's why Huawei got banned in the United States, because they think they're using their routers to scoop up information.
02:37:57.000 So if you're creating something, you're in some company.
02:38:00.000 Chinese authorities shut down elaborate fake Apple service center.
02:38:03.000 That is very elaborate, because that does not...
02:38:05.000 The last story I could find, 2018, most of them were saying there's a few of them around, and then they said they shut it down.
02:38:10.000 Oh, they shut it down.
02:38:12.000 Well, it makes sense, because Apple probably has a nice, tidy business deal with them over there.
02:38:16.000 Dude, in LA, I can't believe they don't shut down every weed store that looks like an Apple store for some reason.
02:38:22.000 There's, like, screens.
02:38:24.000 I know, you buy weed with a tablet on a nice oak table.
02:38:29.000 Is this why the weed costs more than illegal now?
02:38:32.000 It's a lot more.
02:38:33.000 Yeah.
02:38:34.000 But I'll pay.
02:38:35.000 I'll pay.
02:38:36.000 Look, the amount of money that you actually spend on weed, even if weed is more than it is now, in comparison to alcohol, it's not even comparable.
02:38:45.000 Yeah, right.
02:38:46.000 Especially if you like to drink expensive shit, like Claze Azul tequila or something, or some old scotch.
02:38:54.000 That shit's really expensive.
02:38:55.000 Yeah, right.
02:38:55.000 For like 50 bucks, how many drinks can you get?
02:38:58.000 You know how high you get with 50 bucks?
02:39:00.000 Have you seen those like $1,000 joints?
02:39:03.000 Speaking of joints.
02:39:05.000 $1,000 joints?
02:39:06.000 Yeah, I'll see videos pop up online where it'll be like, I can't remember who it was, it was some rapper, and they were showing him joints that were like $40,000.
02:39:14.000 It was crazy.
02:39:14.000 What?
02:39:15.000 Yeah, you know what I'm talking about, Jamie?
02:39:17.000 Yeah, 2 Chainz does this here.
02:39:18.000 Oh, that's what it was.
02:39:19.000 It was 2 Chainz, yeah.
02:39:20.000 $24,000 joint.
02:39:22.000 The most expensive.
02:39:24.000 That's pretty big, though, actually.
02:39:25.000 Oh, is it made with gold?
02:39:26.000 Is that what it is?
02:39:26.000 It's definitely wrapped in gold.
02:39:28.000 Oh, so you're smoking gold.
02:39:29.000 That's good for you, probably.
02:39:34.000 For a good cause, though.
02:39:35.000 He created that weed for a good cause.
02:39:37.000 What was the cause?
02:39:38.000 To get fucked up.
02:39:39.000 I'm sure they're donating all that money.
02:39:40.000 And then they donate the money to the African Wildlife Foundation.
02:39:43.000 Doesn't mining the gold for the rapper probably harm wildlife more than...
02:39:48.000 This is separate from that one.
02:39:50.000 Oh.
02:39:50.000 What is that one?
02:39:51.000 Actually, the one he smoked was 50k.
02:39:53.000 Oh my god.
02:39:54.000 And I don't know why.
02:39:55.000 So look at this.
02:39:55.000 He's gonna open it up.
02:39:58.000 Luxury.
02:39:58.000 Those are 50k?
02:40:00.000 Those Coronas?
02:40:02.000 Maybe.
02:40:03.000 What?
02:40:04.000 I'm sure they explained why, but it might not make sense.
02:40:06.000 Oh, it's 420 bucks.
02:40:07.000 That's all.
02:40:08.000 12 grams of flour.
02:40:10.000 Probably they build up to one that's 50 grams.
02:40:12.000 I like how the real potheads call it flour.
02:40:14.000 12 grams of flour.
02:40:15.000 Oh, I know.
02:40:16.000 I remember being like, I'm not calling it cannabis.
02:40:18.000 It used to be a thing like a guy with a ponytail would say to you.
02:40:22.000 Plant medicine.
02:40:24.000 It's plant medicine, man.
02:40:25.000 I'm harvesting the cannabis.
02:40:27.000 I'm getting all my flowers.
02:40:31.000 But I'll tell you what's great about California is I always meet somebody, some cool person that grows a lot.
02:40:36.000 Oh, yeah.
02:40:37.000 That just hooks me up.
02:40:37.000 Oh, yeah.
02:40:39.000 There's a lot of good growers.
02:40:42.000 But that's the thing about the cannabis business.
02:40:44.000 A lot of fucking really cool people involved in the cannabis business.
02:40:48.000 Because they're selling cannabis.
02:40:50.000 So they're getting high all the time.
02:40:51.000 So they're really kind of cool and passionate.
02:40:53.000 Well, a good friend of mine I won't say, but back in New York, who ended up having a pretty good cannabis business, and there was something like, he was working with the city government on the down low, because to say about legal, you know, they work with people,
02:41:08.000 New York has all those deliveries, and that delivery of weed scene was pretty surprisingly violent to me, of bicycle guys, what was that HBO show, High Maintenance, About a guy who delivers weed on his bike.
02:41:22.000 Half Baked was all about that.
02:41:24.000 He had to get a friend to be his bodyguard and stuff so people get stabbed.
02:41:30.000 And I remember going like, wow, there's all that over weed?
02:41:32.000 He goes, no, it's over money.
02:41:33.000 I go, oh, right.
02:41:34.000 Of course.
02:41:36.000 It's just weed, man.
02:41:37.000 Well, you remember when Denver made it legal, but then they couldn't do business with credit cards?
02:41:44.000 Because banks didn't want to do business with them, so they had to do business in cash.
02:41:48.000 And then they had to take the cash.
02:41:50.000 And they had multiple times a day drive with the cash to the bank.
02:41:54.000 So they hired, like, seals and, like, mercenaries to fucking ride with them.
02:42:00.000 And these banks, by the way, were later caught taking cartel money for much worse drugs.
02:42:05.000 I mean, every single thing, all the Epstein.
02:42:08.000 Well, they took the money, I think, but they wouldn't do business with credit cards.
02:42:11.000 Credit card companies wouldn't do business with it.
02:42:13.000 The nerve of a credit card, yeah.
02:42:15.000 Because federally, I think the idea is that federally it's still illegal.
02:42:18.000 I don't know.
02:42:18.000 I think they've relaxed that now.
02:42:21.000 Find out if you can still use it.
02:42:22.000 Wait, that probably makes legal sense, though, because if you could get busted any minute.
02:42:26.000 Everywhere I've been, the way that if you use a card, it's still doing some weird thing where you're paying somebody else and then they're paying them.
02:42:34.000 Oh.
02:42:34.000 Yeah.
02:42:35.000 You're paying somebody else.
02:42:37.000 They do some weird transaction where you pay $5 extra and you text them a number and whatever the fuck.
02:42:43.000 What are we doing?
02:42:44.000 It's 2022. This is ridiculous.
02:42:45.000 Just tax it.
02:42:47.000 In fact, I used to say that.
02:42:49.000 Now I'm like, maybe let's make sure you know what you're...
02:42:51.000 California has completely fucked that up.
02:42:54.000 Do you know how the illegal market is now, I guess, bigger than the legal market, which is surprising to me?
02:43:00.000 Well, because it's also a misdemeanor.
02:43:02.000 I had this guy, John Norris, who wrote this book about...
02:43:09.000 It's called Hidden War.
02:43:10.000 And it's about how their cartels are growing weed on public forestry.
02:43:15.000 They go to public forest land, like in the fucking California mountains and shit, and they set up these grow-ups, and they grow weed, and they stay there, and they camp there, and they're using these fucking seriously dangerous pesticides and herbicides, and the shit gets in the water supply.
02:43:31.000 Well, you know, they're also...
02:43:33.000 Like, to even go into business, the way it's...
02:43:37.000 I think all these places, when they legalize it, want to have, like, a monopoly that's in cozy with, like, whatever politicians putting it through, because they make it hard.
02:43:44.000 You have to have, like, half an illegal grow to support your legal grow, because you have to have so many...
02:43:50.000 I don't know, however they measure it, to legally be able to do it.
02:43:54.000 And it's made that way on purpose, to make sure it's, like, only, like, a real...
02:43:59.000 Big money place can do it.
02:44:00.000 I'm not exactly sure what you mean.
02:44:01.000 There's a whole vice thing about it.
02:44:03.000 They had something for prisoners in L.A. It's like black prisoners released from the drug war stuff where they get first dibs on getting license to grow.
02:44:14.000 Imagine getting arrested for something and then you get first dibs on license to grow it legally.
02:44:19.000 What the fuck did you arrest me for?
02:44:21.000 They should get that, by the way.
02:44:23.000 I don't have a vision with that, but guess what?
02:44:25.000 They can't get it.
02:44:25.000 It's even fucked up for them.
02:44:27.000 It's so...
02:44:28.000 They just fucked it up.
02:44:29.000 California stinks, dude.
02:44:30.000 They can't...
02:44:32.000 You know, I don't think kids are a house there or anything, so I don't...
02:44:36.000 But I don't know what the hell, like...
02:44:37.000 There's a lot of regulations, that's for sure.
02:44:40.000 But there's so much money from that legal cannabis.
02:44:44.000 Like, how much good is that done?
02:44:46.000 I'd like to know, like, what's the benefit?
02:44:48.000 What's the cost benefit for the state for having it legal?
02:44:52.000 I mean, California must make a lot of money.
02:44:54.000 Yeah, where does it all go?
02:44:55.000 They're taxing the shit out of it?
02:44:56.000 What's the annual amount of money marijuana brings in in tax- 2020 to 2021 fiscal year, California collected about $817 million.
02:45:07.000 I like the homeless.
02:45:09.000 That's a good chunk.
02:45:11.000 But what is that?
02:45:12.000 I don't think that includes the local taxes, which is different too.
02:45:15.000 And then there's like an excise tax.
02:45:16.000 I have no idea what that is.
02:45:17.000 There's like three taxes on it.
02:45:19.000 Oh.
02:45:19.000 Which is why there's a bunch of articles.
02:45:21.000 I can't get past the paywall to see it right now.
02:45:22.000 I'm trying to.
02:45:23.000 That's saying exactly what he's saying, that the illegal market over the last year has jumped up a bunch.
02:45:28.000 Because of that.
02:45:29.000 Yeah.
02:45:29.000 Because you tax the shit out of it.
02:45:31.000 Well, they don't...
02:45:32.000 You know, the homeless...
02:45:34.000 What I was getting at, though, let me finish that before I forget.
02:45:36.000 The reason why the cartels grow on forest land is because it's legal here, it's just a misdemeanor.
02:45:42.000 Oh, is that right?
02:45:43.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:45:44.000 So if you're growing illegally, it's not like a gigantic penalty.
02:45:49.000 Make sure that's true.
02:45:50.000 I know that was true at one point in time, but if you're caught growing marijuana illegally in California, it's a misdemeanor.
02:45:57.000 You're causing a stampede at the border right now.
02:46:00.000 But I think they're so lenient about it because it is legal to grow it in the state, and so there's some weird fucking reason why they decided to do it there.
02:46:09.000 I think he said something like 90% of the illegal weed.
02:46:12.000 You can grow up to six plants, but the law makes it a misdemeanor if you grow an excess of that.
02:46:17.000 Yeah.
02:46:17.000 So that's illegal cultivation of marijuana.
02:46:22.000 Although adults 21 and older are now permitted to grow up to six plants.
02:46:26.000 So if you grow more than six plants, the law makes it a misdemeanor offense.
02:46:30.000 That's it.
02:46:31.000 The conviction is punishable by six months in jail.
02:46:33.000 That ain't shit!
02:46:34.000 So if you're making fucking bank for the cartel...
02:46:38.000 And then they catch you and you're like, joke's on you, pal.
02:46:40.000 I'm not even from here.
02:46:41.000 He had to develop a tactical force to deal with these people because they were getting shot at.
02:46:47.000 Wait, who did?
02:46:48.000 John Norris, this guy that wrote that book.
02:46:50.000 He signed up to be a game warden.
02:46:52.000 He liked going outdoors, doing some fishing.
02:46:55.000 He'd be like, be good to be a game warden.
02:46:57.000 You go, you check people's licenses.
02:46:58.000 How you doing, sir?
02:46:59.000 Make sure everybody's up to regulation.
02:47:01.000 Good job.
02:47:02.000 You're in the outdoors.
02:47:02.000 Did you see a Bigfoot?
02:47:03.000 And then they started finding things like creeks that were dried up.
02:47:06.000 And they're like, why is this creek dried up?
02:47:08.000 Well, we'll chase it down.
02:47:09.000 They go up to the top of the creek thinking that maybe a beaver did something or a farmer did something.
02:47:13.000 And then they found these tubes that diverted all the water to this illegal grow-up.
02:47:18.000 And they go there and these people are using all these toxic chemicals.
02:47:22.000 One of the guy's dogs got shot.
02:47:25.000 It's crazy shit.
02:47:26.000 They're having gunfights with these people in the middle of the fucking forest because these are these cartel guys.
02:47:31.000 Yeah, right.
02:47:32.000 So they basically developed a tactical unit.
02:47:35.000 So he went from From being a game warden, I'm gonna check people's fishing licenses, to being a guy who's like in a shootout with a cartel in the woods.
02:47:42.000 Yeah, it's really wild.
02:47:44.000 Wild!
02:47:44.000 And it's because it's a misdemeanor.
02:47:46.000 So because it's a misdemeanor to grow a bunch of plants illegally, they just fucking grow anywhere they want.
02:47:51.000 So, federally now, because you know that bullshit, this is an important first step that Biden did.
02:47:59.000 He didn't do anything.
02:48:00.000 Yeah, right.
02:48:01.000 I thought it was good too, and then I looked into it.
02:48:03.000 There's nobody in jail, nobody's in federal prison for marijuana possession.
02:48:08.000 Well, you don't get pulled over by the FBI and busted for simple marijuana permission.
02:48:13.000 Possession?
02:48:13.000 You haven't had that problem?
02:48:16.000 Marijuana possession is not that big of a crime.
02:48:19.000 It's dealers and growers that get big sentences, and they're not letting them out.
02:48:24.000 That's the difference.
02:48:26.000 First of all, it should be fucking legal.
02:48:29.000 We're not babies.
02:48:30.000 Why isn't it, though?
02:48:31.000 There's people paying to keep it illegal.
02:48:34.000 It's crazy.
02:48:34.000 We should demand the legality of it.
02:48:37.000 It's a human rights issue.
02:48:39.000 You should have access to it.
02:48:41.000 You could demand all you want.
02:48:42.000 It has benefits to a lot of people that use it.
02:48:45.000 It's real benefits that people enjoy, and people that don't enjoy those benefits are telling you not to do it.
02:48:50.000 Because if they did enjoy those benefits, they would never tell you you shouldn't do it.
02:48:54.000 I think a lot of them do.
02:48:56.000 It's just they've calculated what profit loss there is.
02:49:00.000 That's why all the lobbyists keep it illegal.
02:49:03.000 Do you ever look up the lobbies?
02:49:05.000 Hilarious.
02:49:05.000 What are they?
02:49:06.000 You know, it's like pharmaceutical companies, of course, and alcohol companies, because they're like, we get regulated, like they're just going to make another drug and not some police union, I think?
02:49:17.000 The private prison lobby.
02:49:19.000 I've heard that.
02:49:20.000 I've heard private prison guards unions.
02:49:23.000 Yeah, you gotta keep them full.
02:49:26.000 They're using human beings in their lives like a battery to generate money.
02:49:31.000 That's what it is.
02:49:32.000 There's no reason whatsoever that you should be able to tell a person that you can get drunk, but you can't get high.
02:49:39.000 That doesn't make any fucking sense.
02:49:41.000 Do you know a...
02:49:42.000 I just found this out.
02:49:43.000 I mean, it makes me laugh.
02:49:44.000 I mean, it's a terrible story.
02:49:45.000 But you ever hear the last slave legally freed in America is 1942?
02:49:50.000 What?
02:49:51.000 Yeah, a guy's name is Irving something or something Irving.
02:49:54.000 What?
02:49:55.000 They use everything, debt peonage, where, you know, you get busted for some dumb charge, like vagrancy or something, for 75 bucks, and then a guy's like, I'll pay your fine, and you can come and work on my plantation.
02:50:07.000 And they lock you up like a slave, and you can't...
02:50:10.000 Whoa!
02:50:11.000 So, and then, and so then they finally, I think a white guy, because it wasn't limited to black people, if you're like a, some kid was visiting down south and got caught up in it and died.
02:50:22.000 I think that's why it made the papers, this debt peonage thing.
02:50:25.000 And their defense in court was, no, we're not doing debt peonage, we have slaves.
02:50:31.000 Oh my God.
02:50:31.000 And so they couldn't prosecute them.
02:50:33.000 And they didn't stop it until like 1942 after Pearl Harbor because the Japanese, and this is in the newspapers, the Japanese were using it as propaganda.
02:50:42.000 Whoa.
02:50:43.000 Yeah, it's just like a hilarious, like, to use that as your defense and that's how you get out of it.
02:50:50.000 That's an amazing...
02:50:51.000 So you could go when a person was locked up and offered to buy them out.
02:50:56.000 And they would have to work it off.
02:50:58.000 You always hear about, like, slavery and Jim Crow.
02:51:00.000 But they would be able to decide how much you got paid?
02:51:03.000 That's how we got all these, like, we're talking about, is there a quota?
02:51:07.000 All this shit grew out of that, you know?
02:51:10.000 And some of these places, it's all inertia.
02:51:13.000 You know, like, in Texas, I don't know how big, maybe it's bigger news than the state, but I was trying to figure out, because I was like, all this, like, prison labor, if you think, like, illegal immigration is lowering wages, like, I'll bet all the prison labor lowers wages a lot, right?
02:51:28.000 So I go to look it up, and then here in Texas, it's not even profitable.
02:51:33.000 They have people picking cotton, and it's not even better than just not having that, but they've just had it for so long.
02:51:41.000 So they have slaves pick cotton here in Texas?
02:51:46.000 If I'm saying this right.
02:51:47.000 So it's in the 13th Amendment.
02:51:49.000 Like state property, when you're a prisoner, you're a slave.
02:51:52.000 That's like written into...
02:51:53.000 Well, I know they can use you for wildfires, right?
02:51:56.000 But slave means your property, right?
02:51:57.000 That's what it means.
02:51:58.000 It's not like you had to work for your state property.
02:52:01.000 That's what you're called as a prisoner.
02:52:03.000 And that's why they may have the amendment to free the slaves, but that's in there still.
02:52:08.000 But here's the thing.
02:52:10.000 When it comes to things like fighting wildfires, do they have any say whether or not they fight a wildfire?
02:52:16.000 Because you know they use it sometimes as cheap labor.
02:52:19.000 So do you think they get to choose whether or not they do it?
02:52:22.000 Yeah, I'm sure if I'm in prison, I probably would want to get out of it.
02:52:27.000 That's one of the things that Tulsi Gabbard, during that big debate moment with Kamala Harris...
02:52:32.000 You had those guys aren't talking about that!
02:52:34.000 That's crazy!
02:52:35.000 She doesn't want to disrupt the prison labor so she doesn't release...
02:52:39.000 The federal government says you've got to release these people.
02:52:41.000 Well, she used them to fight wildfires.
02:52:44.000 But the thing is, what does that mean?
02:52:47.000 Do you give them an option?
02:52:50.000 Do you just tell them they have to fight a wildfire no matter what?
02:52:53.000 Prisoners who want to enter the conservation camp program must meet security requirements and undergo two weeks of training.
02:53:01.000 The all-inmate crews live in so-called fire camps and are led by personal Personnel from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection or Cal Fire.
02:53:11.000 They earn between $2.90 and $5 a day.
02:53:16.000 Depending on their dues.
02:53:17.000 That's insane.
02:53:18.000 And slightly more when actively fighting a fire.
02:53:21.000 Slightly more.
02:53:22.000 I'm going to give you a bump to $3.10 and $5.20.
02:53:27.000 When fighting a fire, though their numbers have fluctuated over the years, they have often compromised approximately one-third of California's firefighting force.
02:53:35.000 That's a lot.
02:53:35.000 So to put it on in a positive spin, is it possible that it's one of those things, like if you're a specialist in times of war, And they need to make you work.
02:53:48.000 They need to redraft you.
02:53:50.000 We need you for this very specific thing.
02:53:52.000 You signed up to be property.
02:53:53.000 If you signed up to be a part of this crew when you were trained and then a wildfire broke out, maybe it was part of the agreement when you signed up that if some shit hit the fan, they were allowed to keep you longer because you were very difficult to train.
02:54:08.000 But if you signed up for this program, it would lead to you maybe getting paroled earlier.
02:54:14.000 Yeah, I've seen the dirty dozen.
02:54:16.000 I know how that works.
02:54:19.000 Yeah, you could also sign up for medical experimentation.
02:54:23.000 Prison sucks.
02:54:23.000 Yeah.
02:54:24.000 I bet I would go fight a forest fire if I was in the California penal system.
02:54:29.000 If you had to choose between experimental medications and fighting a forest fire...
02:54:35.000 Dude, maybe the forest fire because...
02:54:37.000 And I love...
02:54:39.000 I've experimented with many medications.
02:54:42.000 Yeah, but on your own free will.
02:54:43.000 Yeah, and if they're like, hey, okay, we don't want to use it...
02:54:47.000 Like, lab rats aren't enough, but we can't use it on the people that aren't owned by this state.
02:54:52.000 We're going to see prisoners first.
02:54:54.000 Those are the ones you probably never want to be in the test for.
02:54:57.000 The ones they take to prisoners, is my guess.
02:55:00.000 Yeah.
02:55:01.000 Like...
02:55:03.000 It's not great when you see their process with non-prisoners testing.
02:55:07.000 I'll bet it's really not good when they can do whatever they want, you know?
02:55:12.000 Especially if you're a piece of shit.
02:55:14.000 I mean, that's the premise of so many horror movies.
02:55:16.000 You got a bunch of fucking murderers sitting around.
02:55:20.000 A bunch of horrible people, thieves.
02:55:23.000 And plus, I imagine, like, our amazing system really improves.
02:55:27.000 Yeah.
02:55:29.000 If you got a guy who's, like, killed a bunch of women, why wouldn't you practice some shit on him?
02:55:35.000 Yeah, once it's okay.
02:55:36.000 Get some serial killer guy in there.
02:55:37.000 Give him the fucking, see what happens, a full dose.
02:55:40.000 It's a premise of a lot of video games and very good movies.
02:55:44.000 Really?
02:55:44.000 Yeah.
02:55:45.000 Really?
02:55:46.000 Yeah, Manhunt.
02:55:46.000 Remember that Rockstar game, Manhunt?
02:55:48.000 Well, you know that whole CIA connection to Charles Manson happened when he was in prison.
02:55:55.000 Did you see, oh, who's the guy who played Machete?
02:55:59.000 Danny Trejo, that actor?
02:56:00.000 No.
02:56:01.000 You know who he is, right?
02:56:02.000 Yeah, sure, sure.
02:56:02.000 I saw him telling a story about being in the joint with Charles Manson.
02:56:06.000 He said that he was like this little ratty guy that had like a rope for a belt, but he could hypnotize you to feel like you were on heroin.
02:56:13.000 But the only thing is, you had to have done heroin before.
02:56:16.000 So his one friend, it wouldn't work on him, but him and his buddy, he said, the guy hypnotized him and they threw up and got high.
02:56:22.000 Whoa.
02:56:23.000 And I happened to see you have that author on here and then saw that Danny show.
02:56:27.000 I was like, that's a weird story.
02:56:28.000 He could hypnotize you to feel like you were high on heroin.
02:56:31.000 This is before all that stuff.
02:56:33.000 Tom O'Neill, who wrote the book Chaos, which is a fucking amazing book, all about this.
02:56:39.000 He went deep down the rabbit hole for 20 years writing this book.
02:56:43.000 It's meticulously researched.
02:56:44.000 Yeah, right.
02:56:45.000 I saw that interview.
02:56:46.000 The CIA 100% did these drug experiments for people in the 1960s.
02:56:52.000 Was it the 1950s as well?
02:56:54.000 When did it start?
02:56:55.000 But they did it.
02:56:56.000 It's like documented.
02:56:57.000 Well, it was good of them to come forward, admit to it, and move on from there.
02:57:01.000 They did these things where they would dose Johns and brothels.
02:57:05.000 These guys would go to a whorehouse looking to hook up with some ladies.
02:57:08.000 That's a psychedelic, what's it called again?
02:57:11.000 MKUltra?
02:57:11.000 Yeah, same thing.
02:57:14.000 Manson first talked the group into thinking they were smoking weed and then heroin.
02:57:20.000 By the time he described it hitting my bloodstream, I felt the warmth flowing through my body, Trejo remembers.
02:57:27.000 If that white boy wasn't a career criminal, he could have been a professional hypnotist.
02:57:32.000 That's wild, dude.
02:57:33.000 So he hypnotized them into feeling like they were doing heroin.
02:57:36.000 Have you ever been hypnotized?
02:57:38.000 Yeah, I have been.
02:57:39.000 I think they probably taught him how to do that.
02:57:42.000 And I think this was part of the...
02:57:45.000 The book doesn't say for a fact this is what they did.
02:57:50.000 But what it does is point a lot of evidence to the fact that this guy, who was the head of MKUltra, Jolly West...
02:57:58.000 Definitely visited Manson in prison.
02:57:59.000 Manson had access to LSD. When he would get arrested, he would get released.
02:58:03.000 They would say it was above their pay grade.
02:58:05.000 All points indicate that he was taught how to take these people and lead them.
02:58:12.000 And that he was taught how to do it with LSD. And that he was supplied LSD. That was creepy him talking about that.
02:58:18.000 It's crazy!
02:58:21.000 Once you know that they definitely did experiments on people with LSD, they 100% did that.
02:58:26.000 So then you got to go, well, how many people and what was the extent of this stuff?
02:58:29.000 Like, when did they end this?
02:58:30.000 Like, how much did it affect of culture?
02:58:33.000 How much did it affect of people going fucking nuts and jumping off buildings?
02:58:37.000 Like, what exactly happened?
02:58:39.000 Yeah.
02:58:40.000 Did you ever see the thing about the gay bomb in the 90s?
02:58:46.000 Oh, that's right!
02:58:47.000 That's right!
02:58:48.000 They were thinking of coming up with a bomb that they could drop on a city and make everybody gay.
02:58:54.000 Yeah, it sounds so crazy, but it is a real thing.
02:58:57.000 Yeah, that's what it is.
02:58:59.000 In 1994, the U.S. military actually considered building a gay bomb.
02:59:04.000 It was to debilitate.
02:59:06.000 This could be a great South Park movie.
02:59:08.000 Well, I mean, you just told me in the beginning this about a guy that successfully sued because he became gay and gambly.
02:59:14.000 Yeah.
02:59:18.000 So we know it's possible to do this.
02:59:21.000 Researchers at the Wright Laboratory in Ohio, a predecessor to today's United States Air Force Research Laboratory, began exploring some alternative options.
02:59:30.000 What existed, they asked.
02:59:32.000 They asked that would distract or delude a soldier long enough to mount an attack without causing the soldier any bodily harm.
02:59:40.000 The answer seemed obvious.
02:59:42.000 Sex.
02:59:42.000 But how could the Air Force make that work to their advantage?
02:59:46.000 In an act of brilliance or insanity, they came up with the perfect plan.
02:59:50.000 Wait, is that really true?
02:59:51.000 All soldiers, one weakness is...
02:59:56.000 Oh my god.
02:59:58.000 Oh, pheromones.
02:59:59.000 Okay, they put together a three-page proposal in which they detailed their $7.5 million invention, the gay bomb.
03:00:08.000 The gay bomb would be a cloud of gas that would discharge over enemy camps that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistibly attractive to one another.
03:00:25.000 Dude, that would be a great series, like somebody, you're a secret, and you get to use all the failed, like you have a gay ball.
03:00:34.000 You have access to all the kind of embarrassing things that they worked on.
03:00:38.000 But how funny is the way they look at gay people?
03:00:42.000 They think that if everybody just became gay, they would just totally be distracted about this whole war thing and just want to fuck.
03:00:49.000 They didn't start with gay.
03:00:50.000 They go, what's the way to distract soldiers?
03:00:52.000 And they're like, sex.
03:00:53.000 So are you telling me all soldiers...
03:00:55.000 Could just be distracted by sex at any moment.
03:00:57.000 Even in the middle of a firefight.
03:00:59.000 In the middle of a firefight.
03:01:01.000 Someone from an alleyway.
03:01:03.000 Is that how we launch Vietnam?
03:01:08.000 Among the more comical ideas was a bomb titled Who Me, which simulated flatulence among the ranks, hopefully distracting the soldiers with terrible smells long enough for the US to attack.
03:01:23.000 Fart bomb!
03:01:24.000 The idea was scrapped almost immediately, however, after researchers pointed out that some people throughout the world don't find the smell of flat shells particularly offensive.
03:01:33.000 That's racist.
03:01:33.000 That's hilarious.
03:01:36.000 Oh my god.
03:01:37.000 So they didn't get to work making this.
03:01:40.000 They're just blue sky in this thing.
03:01:43.000 This is like a sketch show.
03:01:46.000 What about a gay bomb?
03:01:47.000 They wanted a bomb to make wasps sting people until they would stop.
03:01:53.000 Wasps?
03:01:54.000 Wow.
03:01:54.000 Make their skin suddenly.
03:01:56.000 Unbelievably sensitive to the sun.
03:01:58.000 Dude, who was the guy that wrote for Hollywood Squares for Whoopi and he's like a real famous guy and he's got like big Sesame Street monster hair?
03:02:05.000 Bruce Valanche?
03:02:07.000 Yeah, did Bruce Valanche come up with their secret weapons?
03:02:11.000 Someone...
03:02:12.000 I've read something about wasps that inject their larvae into other creatures that create an alien sort of infestation thing.
03:02:28.000 There's more of them than there are every other kind of insect.
03:02:34.000 Well, it is a great idea.
03:02:36.000 The female wasp injects the caterpillar with her eggs and a virus, which shuts down the caterpillar's ability to defend itself against these intruders.
03:02:43.000 The wasp larvae deposited into the caterpillar's body begin to grow beneath the surface, snacking on the caterpillar innards.
03:02:51.000 It's wild to watch.
03:02:53.000 It comes with a virus.
03:02:54.000 There's a shit ton of different wasps that do this kind of thing.
03:02:58.000 So the virus is so the body doesn't reject, like, the...
03:03:03.000 I guess.
03:03:04.000 They turn other ants into zombies, saving millions of humans along the way.
03:03:09.000 Oh, I didn't know about that.
03:03:11.000 What?
03:03:12.000 Scroll back up to the top again.
03:03:14.000 It's a trailer to aliens.
03:03:15.000 It turns other insects into zombies.
03:03:17.000 But it says it saved our lives.
03:03:19.000 Is this like another PR from Big Wasp?
03:03:25.000 That's what I think everything is now.
03:03:27.000 But what this article was talking about, or was it a video?
03:03:30.000 It might have been a video I was watching, where they were talking about how the sheer number of different parasitic wasps is insane.
03:03:39.000 There's like a hundred different ones.
03:03:40.000 Really?
03:03:41.000 That inject, yeah, there's some that do it into the wood.
03:03:44.000 Like there's larvae that go like into the crevices of wood.
03:03:49.000 So they have these long ass pointers that go down there and inject them inside the wood.
03:03:54.000 There's a wood wasp.
03:03:55.000 Is this like what Harvey Weinstein did to that plant?
03:03:59.000 Was that part of nature and we put a stop to it?
03:04:04.000 Pull up the wood wasp.
03:04:06.000 Check this thing out.
03:04:06.000 Cause didn't his penis fall off much like a wasp sting?
03:04:09.000 He's got like that crazy gangrene of the dick thing.
03:04:12.000 I thought he- It's like a diabetic sort of gangrene type thing.
03:04:14.000 I didn't even know that was it.
03:04:16.000 Boy, if you wanted to scare people straight from diabetes, you should mention that your dick falling off.
03:04:21.000 So look at that thing it's got at the end of it.
03:04:22.000 Yeah.
03:04:23.000 And it shoves that into like these cracks where these larvae are inside of these trees.
03:04:30.000 Yeah, right.
03:04:30.000 And it injects them.
03:04:32.000 It's Harvey, alright.
03:04:36.000 Make sure I'm not fucking that up.
03:04:37.000 No, that's right.
03:04:38.000 It's called a hornetail or a wood wasp.
03:04:40.000 And does it say what they're injecting themselves into?
03:04:43.000 Let's see.
03:04:45.000 So there's like a bunch of different wasps that do this type of shit.
03:04:49.000 Yeah, drills her ovipositor.
03:04:53.000 Her dick.
03:04:53.000 That's what the alien...
03:04:55.000 That's what I'm gonna call my dick from now on.
03:04:57.000 Ovipositor.
03:04:58.000 I call it...
03:05:00.000 That's what Zuckerberg calls his dick.
03:05:04.000 Ovipositor.
03:05:04.000 Ovipositor.
03:05:05.000 To the rescue.
03:05:06.000 Nearly three quarters of an inch into the...
03:05:08.000 Whoa, three quarters of an inch.
03:05:21.000 Okay, so this is different.
03:05:23.000 So this is not...
03:05:25.000 This is her larva.
03:05:27.000 She's just shooting it into the wood and then putting this fungus on them.
03:05:33.000 This is not a softer wood.
03:05:37.000 It's still a parasite, isn't it?
03:05:39.000 Even if it's against wood?
03:05:40.000 Yeah, but it's not what I'm thinking of.
03:05:42.000 I'm thinking of there's a bunch of different laws that inject their larva into other creatures and they paralyze the creature and then the body just swarms with these little larvae.
03:05:54.000 Oh, you just reminded me of something.
03:05:56.000 It's a shitload of them like that.
03:05:57.000 The caterpillar thing, it said it saved human lives because it helps with agriculture and growing stuff.
03:06:04.000 Stopping the caterpillars from eating animals.
03:06:05.000 How many lives?
03:06:06.000 Save four.
03:06:06.000 It said 20 million.
03:06:07.000 20 million?
03:06:08.000 Yeah.
03:06:09.000 Oh, because caterpillars eat that many crops?
03:06:10.000 Yeah.
03:06:11.000 Actually makes sense.
03:06:13.000 Right here.
03:06:13.000 I estimated 20 million lives.
03:06:15.000 Wow.
03:06:16.000 Like I said, did a wasp write this?
03:06:20.000 This effort.
03:06:21.000 Oh, so what did they do?
03:06:22.000 They dropped them?
03:06:23.000 Look at this.
03:06:24.000 After rearing the wasp and gathering funding, Heron brought planes and coordinated strategic airdrops and ground release of wasp cocoons to areas affected by the mealybug.
03:06:37.000 For those locations, the wasp populations grew and spread on their own, reducing the mealybug population to manageable levels for years.
03:06:44.000 Wow, that's a fucking science experiment.
03:06:47.000 When did this happen?
03:06:51.000 1995. I always hear about these things.
03:06:52.000 Before the internet.
03:06:53.000 They could just do shit with that.
03:06:54.000 It always feels like the end of Watchmen where he's like, I already did the thing like two hours ago.
03:06:57.000 What happened to murder hornets when we're supposed to be scared of murder hornets?
03:07:01.000 I never...
03:07:02.000 What is this one doing?
03:07:03.000 So here's another one.
03:07:04.000 Sort of what you were saying.
03:07:05.000 They've got the fattest ovipositors, those ones.
03:07:08.000 They just inject them with their stuff.
03:07:11.000 Do you know what this is reminding me of that I want to bring up?
03:07:14.000 What?
03:07:14.000 Look at all those larvae popping out of its body.
03:07:17.000 Ew!
03:07:17.000 Isn't that wild?
03:07:18.000 Yeah.
03:07:19.000 Look at this!
03:07:20.000 It's just injecting its offspring into this thing's body.
03:07:25.000 Who's the British guy that narrates this?
03:07:26.000 David Attenborough.
03:07:27.000 Yeah, with David Attenborough's sexy voice.
03:07:30.000 Let's hear his voice.
03:07:31.000 Go back to where it's like...
03:07:33.000 ...with paralyzing poison, but with eggs.
03:07:36.000 Yes.
03:07:38.000 What a perfect voice.
03:07:39.000 So that must be the most horrifying part of being those caterpillars, is hearing David Attenborough just casually narrate your painful...
03:07:48.000 Your demise!
03:07:50.000 Thanks, dude!
03:07:51.000 Can you help?
03:07:52.000 No?
03:07:52.000 Okay.
03:07:54.000 Attenborough was the first guy to get, um, to put on television, at least, footage of chimps eating monkeys.
03:08:01.000 Do you remember that?
03:08:03.000 I never saw it, but I think it's amazing all the things about animals that have been covered up over the years.
03:08:11.000 More than any UFO would be covered up.
03:08:13.000 The hiding of things monkeys were into.
03:08:16.000 We can't let the public know.
03:08:20.000 Like, if you just think of, like, I remember people as I think of all the gay animals that you ever heard about, because when they first cataloged them, they didn't want to say, like, oh, don't mention that.
03:08:28.000 Or, like, dolphin thing.
03:08:29.000 Right.
03:08:29.000 There's got to be a percentage of monkeys that are gay, right?
03:08:32.000 I think all of the bonobo chimpanzees, they're all homosexual.
03:08:36.000 I wouldn't even put it in gay terms.
03:08:37.000 They just see it, you know, every problem looks like a nail to a hammer.
03:08:44.000 They just look at it like that.
03:08:45.000 They just have orgies.
03:08:46.000 They're the weirdest chimp, right?
03:08:48.000 Ew!
03:08:49.000 So this is a baboon eating a deer.
03:08:52.000 Yeah.
03:08:52.000 I was trying to find the one where they caught a bird in their cage at the zoo.
03:08:56.000 Oh, Jesus Christ.
03:08:57.000 Is this a deer in the zoo or is this in the wild?
03:08:59.000 No, this is Nature's Metal.
03:09:00.000 Oh, man.
03:09:01.000 Nature's Metal is a hardcore account.
03:09:04.000 And it's a lot of that.
03:09:05.000 Like, really, like, whoa.
03:09:07.000 There was these one hyenas that were, like, eating this antelope as it was standing there.
03:09:13.000 They're pulling just chunks out of its guts.
03:09:16.000 There's a giant hole missing.
03:09:17.000 They're just chewing its innards out.
03:09:19.000 It's just standing there, paralyzed in pain and fear.
03:09:22.000 Yeah, I like the ones where like a dog and turtle are friends.
03:09:27.000 Those are cute.
03:09:29.000 Yeah, look at this one.
03:09:30.000 That's a wildebeest.
03:09:31.000 They're just eating it alive.
03:09:32.000 Just tearing it apart while it's alive.
03:09:34.000 It's just laying there and they're just eating its organs.
03:09:37.000 Dude, I've never...
03:09:38.000 I could never watch this or Bros.
03:09:46.000 You're the reason why bros wasn't successful.
03:09:49.000 Dude, Annie at Comedy Store was like, oh, she's told me I gotta see it, because I didn't know what it was.
03:09:53.000 So I'm like, I don't think she was breaking my balls.
03:09:56.000 If she was breaking, that was pretty funny of her.
03:09:58.000 I'm like, why would I? Do you know what it is?
03:10:01.000 I just know the tagline.
03:10:02.000 It's a gay romantic comedy.
03:10:04.000 For straight men.
03:10:05.000 It's a gay romantic comedy for straight men.
03:10:08.000 That'd be a funny thing to say.
03:10:09.000 That's a good way to sell it.
03:10:11.000 I've been bringing this up a lot.
03:10:13.000 I brought it up in the creek everywhere.
03:10:14.000 One, I'm straight, so I don't even want to see straight romance.
03:10:18.000 That's a little too gay for me.
03:10:20.000 And two, we already have a gay romantic comedy for straight men called Fight Club that we're all very happy with.
03:10:29.000 Because I know you had that guy on, right?
03:10:30.000 Chuck Planetchuk?
03:10:31.000 Yeah, yeah.
03:10:32.000 I've had him on a couple times.
03:10:33.000 He's a fascinating dude.
03:10:34.000 Really interesting guy, man.
03:10:36.000 Well, I mean, he made the successful, because that's what that is, that movie.
03:10:40.000 It's his writing, though.
03:10:42.000 You should read some of his stuff.
03:10:43.000 He says the movie's better than the book himself, right?
03:10:46.000 Like, I thought.
03:10:48.000 Yeah, no, he loved the movie.
03:10:49.000 The movie was good.
03:10:50.000 I really liked the movie.
03:10:51.000 It's not just Fight Club, I'm saying.
03:10:52.000 I'm saying some of his other stuff.
03:10:54.000 He wrote a series of horror stories, and one of them is about, I think it's a little girl who turns into a werewolf on a plane.
03:11:00.000 Yeah.
03:11:01.000 And it's fucking wild.
03:11:03.000 I remember a book came out of his that at the time It's like when I was getting out of- Make sure that's him who wrote that.
03:11:08.000 When I was getting out of Art Institute that people were like throwing up at the readings of some- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:11:12.000 He's been asked to leave these writers groups because this stuff was too disturbing.
03:11:19.000 He talked about that you know he talked about like you you have to be free to make disturbing things otherwise like How do you know how do you know what you're doing?
03:11:28.000 How do you you got to be free to express yourself?
03:11:31.000 And some of it's not pretty and some of the stuff that's not pretty is fucking fascinating to people Especially sometimes you got a graphic describe someone's asshole being sucked at a jet engine I just gotta say it.
03:11:46.000 Listen, that is how it would go.
03:11:48.000 You have your asshole near the jet engine, it just pulls it right out of your body and wraps it up in a spiral.
03:11:54.000 They should warn people about it.
03:11:55.000 Haunted, that's it.
03:11:57.000 So which one is it?
03:12:00.000 Which story is it?
03:12:01.000 There's one of the stories where there's a...
03:12:03.000 There's a 13-year-old girl.
03:12:04.000 Yeah.
03:12:08.000 Don't...
03:12:08.000 There...
03:12:11.000 Nope.
03:12:13.000 No?
03:12:15.000 Can't find it?
03:12:16.000 Damn, there's a lot of stories in there.
03:12:17.000 I know.
03:12:18.000 It's a lot of chapters.
03:12:18.000 Each chapter is a...
03:12:19.000 A short story?
03:12:20.000 Oh, there it is.
03:12:22.000 Dissertation.
03:12:23.000 The Missing Link is a Chula Indian on a date with a graduate student who's doing her dissertation on Sasquatches and associated phenomena.
03:12:32.000 She believes that a recent plane crash was caused by a 13-year-old Chula Indian girl who transformed as if a werewolf aboard the plane and caused the crash.
03:12:42.000 She relates her theory to Missing Link who tells her the girl in question was his sister.
03:12:50.000 Sasquatch.
03:12:51.000 You know, when you were telling me that cartel thing, do you think a bunch of these Sasquatch sightings, it was like a Scooby-Doo, they dressed as a Sasquatch to scare?
03:13:00.000 It's funny that you say that, because there's actually a documentary called Sasquatch, and it's about a Sasquatch killing these guys who are doing the exact same thing we're talking about.
03:13:11.000 Grow-ops.
03:13:12.000 Oh, really?
03:13:12.000 Yeah, in the Humboldt area.
03:13:15.000 In the mountains up there.
03:13:16.000 Yeah.
03:13:16.000 And they murdered these guys, these cartel guys, and blamed it on Sasquatch.
03:13:21.000 Oh, yeah, because that...
03:13:22.000 Yeah.
03:13:23.000 It's a good fucking documentary.
03:13:24.000 It's like a series.
03:13:26.000 Oh, I never heard of this.
03:13:28.000 Yeah, it's on Hulu.
03:13:29.000 It's a multi-piece series.
03:13:31.000 Is it on Netflix as well?
03:13:33.000 I don't know.
03:13:35.000 But it was really good.
03:13:37.000 And I had the guy in and talked to him.
03:13:40.000 Really fucking interesting dude.
03:13:42.000 What was his name again, Jamie?
03:13:46.000 But it was a movie about that, about how it became very violent when that whole area became known as growing weed.
03:13:54.000 Yeah.
03:13:56.000 David Holthouse.
03:13:58.000 Very interesting guy.
03:13:59.000 I really enjoy the whole series.
03:14:01.000 Got a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.
03:14:03.000 It's really interesting because it's like the whole thing changed from this like hippie thing to everyone's armed.
03:14:10.000 Yeah, right.
03:14:11.000 And people are getting killed.
03:14:12.000 There's like drug wars going on.
03:14:14.000 Yeah, right.
03:14:14.000 But you're already invested in the land.
03:14:16.000 This is your business.
03:14:17.000 You don't know how to let people take it from you.
03:14:19.000 And then everything escalates.
03:14:20.000 And then you have fucking shootouts up there.
03:14:22.000 This sounds like how the Scooby Gang explains the fake Sasquatch.
03:14:27.000 They would have got away with it.
03:14:29.000 I think at one point in time there was a Sasquatch.
03:14:31.000 And I think it's proven.
03:14:33.000 There's a thing called Gigantopithecus.
03:14:35.000 And they think that at one point in time people probably lived alongside those things.
03:14:38.000 And that's probably this sort of myth that goes through all these different cultures.
03:14:45.000 I think at one point in time there probably was a thing like that.
03:14:47.000 When they discovered hobbits.
03:14:49.000 Are you sure hobbits?
03:14:50.000 And I guess they were little three foot tall people?
03:14:52.000 Yeah, on the island of Flores.
03:14:54.000 Yeah, I talked to a gentleman this past weekend in Hawaii who was explaining to me how they had a similar thing in Hawaii.
03:15:01.000 It was like these two foot tall little hairy people.
03:15:05.000 If you think about that whole area...
03:15:08.000 Yeah, it's part of the myths and cultures.
03:15:10.000 Myths of their culture, rather.
03:15:12.000 And I don't want to say myths, I should say legend.
03:15:14.000 Because it probably was real.
03:15:16.000 At one point in time, somebody probably encountered this little thing that we know for sure existed alongside people.
03:15:22.000 And it existed on the island of Flores, and they think it existed in other places.
03:15:26.000 They call it the Orang Pendek.
03:15:27.000 There's like different names for it in different parts of the world.
03:15:30.000 But now that we know it was really a thing, All those stories about people seeing them back in the day were probably real.
03:15:37.000 Do you think...
03:15:38.000 Because I thought the Flores ones, they hunted little elephants.
03:15:42.000 Something adorable.
03:15:43.000 I swear to God.
03:15:44.000 Well, there's a thing called island dwarfism.
03:15:46.000 Yeah, island dwarfism.
03:15:47.000 Yeah, when you do have small elephants who live on an island.
03:15:50.000 Yeah.
03:15:51.000 The team of them would take down a tiny elephant.
03:15:53.000 That's the sweetest.
03:15:55.000 Sweetest little murder.
03:15:56.000 In fact, you know that wildebeest thing you showed me?
03:15:58.000 If they were little ones, that would be adorable.
03:16:00.000 Dude, you know how wild that would be to watch?
03:16:02.000 Chibi animals going down.
03:16:04.000 Because if they were using tools and weapons, they were hunting things.
03:16:08.000 How wild that would be to watch them?
03:16:11.000 First of all, how fast do you think they were?
03:16:14.000 Two foot tall people.
03:16:17.000 Well, the thing is, it's just scaled down, so they don't have to be fast, they just have to have longer endurance, right?
03:16:21.000 Yeah, but they're living in the jungle.
03:16:24.000 Dude, they gotta be fast.
03:16:26.000 Yeah.
03:16:26.000 Well, I'm sure it's sped up.
03:16:29.000 Comically is how I imagine.
03:16:30.000 Like a monkey!
03:16:31.000 I imagine Benny Hill music in the background.
03:16:34.000 I wonder what a human...
03:16:36.000 If you went back to the original human, the earliest version of the anatomically current human being, whatever that was, 500, 700,000 years ago, whatever it was, I would love to see what that dude looked like when he walked around.
03:16:51.000 What was that like?
03:16:52.000 What did they do?
03:16:53.000 What was a day in the life of one of them?
03:16:56.000 Imagine following one of those guys.
03:16:58.000 Imagine being in a time machine where you could just exist in a bubble that no one could see and you could follow around some dude living...
03:17:08.000 900,000 years ago how fucking wild would that be just to imagine that this guy just figuring out you could bang rocks into the shape of a tool that this guy is one day gonna pilot in the airplane that this guy is I'll bet it it's a lot like you ever watch like Alaska wilderness people and you know if it's not a reality show they're clipping it together it's probably real dull you ever see reality shows made it's just hours of so you'd spend hours watching everything but you'd want someone to aggregate the interesting parts to you Look
03:17:38.000 at this.
03:17:38.000 Peter claims these ancient ancestors of ours could theoretically reach sprinting speeds of up to 20 miles an hour.
03:17:44.000 Wow, that seems fast.
03:17:45.000 It's not known what speeds the likes of Usain Boltz, Johann Blake, or Tyson Gray could reach if they were being chased in fear of their lives.
03:17:54.000 Good point.
03:17:55.000 How fast can they run, by the way, Usain Bolt?
03:17:58.000 About 23 is what this says.
03:18:00.000 So I suggest a group of Europeans are capable of running up to 23. This guy found some footprints in Australia and used those as...
03:18:07.000 Didn't they find some footprints that they just discovered, like, way older than they thought in Spain?
03:18:13.000 I think they found some in America.
03:18:14.000 They found some footprints in it.
03:18:16.000 Yeah, they definitely found some in Spain, but they found some in America that takes our idea of when human beings were here way, way, way back.
03:18:24.000 Yeah, right.
03:18:25.000 Like, way further than they thought it was.
03:18:27.000 Like, way earlier than 11,000 years ago.
03:18:29.000 Well, just the whole idea that was...
03:18:30.000 Here it is.
03:18:32.000 Yeah, it's not as old as they thought.
03:18:34.000 It's thousands of years later, but it's still really fucking old.
03:18:38.000 So what does it say there?
03:18:39.000 What does the top say?
03:18:40.000 It says the discovery of the oldest human footprints in North America.
03:18:44.000 Thrilled researchers.
03:18:45.000 It turns out they may not be so old.
03:18:49.000 So what did they think they were and what are they?
03:18:52.000 Okay, so the results implied the footprints that were left behind between 22,800 years ago and 21,130 years ago.
03:19:01.000 Previously, the earliest known humans, beings in North America, were dated between 14,000 and 16,000 years.
03:19:07.000 If true, the conclusion could upend all manner of assumptions in the field.
03:19:11.000 The team published its findings in science last year.
03:19:14.000 This is a bombshell.
03:19:16.000 Ruth Groon, An academic archaeologist not involved in the study observed.
03:19:21.000 It's very hard to disprove.
03:19:22.000 And so then what happened that went bad?
03:19:25.000 What's the difference?
03:19:28.000 Okay, radiocarbon dating on...
03:19:30.000 Go back up a little bit.
03:19:33.000 Radiocarbon dating on ancient grass seeds found in the footprints determined they were made between 23,000 years ago.
03:19:40.000 So what's incorrect about it?
03:19:43.000 It's still really fucking old.
03:19:48.000 What's it saying there?
03:19:51.000 I don't know what they're saying.
03:19:54.000 Because it doesn't seem like they're saying why they think it's not as old.
03:19:59.000 It just said I moved it by a thousand years.
03:20:02.000 Oh!
03:20:03.000 So it went from 23,000 to 22,000?
03:20:05.000 I guess.
03:20:06.000 Still old as fuck.
03:20:08.000 It's like a lot older than they used to think it was.
03:20:11.000 Okay, so it was 22,000 to 21,000.
03:20:14.000 Okay, so they pushed it back a thousand years.
03:20:16.000 A lot of stuff's based on dates that are, like, way older.
03:20:19.000 You ever see the, you know, when they get it right with, like, a dinosaur skeleton?
03:20:23.000 I mean, as far as you know, how, like, off it is.
03:20:27.000 Somebody did a cool thing where they showed if, like, you found horse bones, like, what the way we draw the dinosaurs, what it would look like.
03:20:33.000 It looks crazy because it's always too tight on the skeleton.
03:20:36.000 You know, there's not enough, like, meat built on it in most of the conceptions.
03:20:40.000 Right.
03:20:41.000 We have no idea.
03:20:42.000 Imagine what a T-Rex actually looks like.
03:20:44.000 I like to look for the updates of what they...
03:20:46.000 They had a good dinosaur show I liked at the time on Discovery or something, but even those are all like...
03:20:54.000 Well, they don't have feathers either.
03:20:56.000 They think a lot of them had feathers now.
03:20:58.000 But not T-Rex is the last I heard on...
03:21:00.000 Really?
03:21:01.000 That's the last thing that I heard looking it up.
03:21:03.000 They don't think he had feathers?
03:21:05.000 No, and it's because there's a patch of the skin pressed up on something where you can see it's not...
03:21:09.000 Oh.
03:21:10.000 Is that it?
03:21:11.000 I just was looking up some article.
03:21:13.000 This is kind of recent.
03:21:14.000 Oh, maybe that's what it is.
03:21:16.000 I don't know if this was a T-Rex they found specifically.
03:21:18.000 So it's hard to imagine this animal died 76 million years ago.
03:21:22.000 It's been perfectly preserved since then and just happened to be starting to erode out of this cliff when we were walking by.
03:21:31.000 Wow.
03:21:33.000 That's fucking nuts.
03:21:34.000 Because you've really only seen a fraction of all the stuff that there was, right?
03:21:38.000 Because fossils are kind of rare.
03:21:40.000 Look at that.
03:21:41.000 So these guys are seeing this stuff erode, and then they find it there.
03:21:45.000 How much more of that is there?
03:21:47.000 That's what's nuts.
03:21:48.000 What percentage of the fossil record Is really accurate in terms of how many species are out there that haven't been discovered?
03:21:59.000 It's like a fraction of what it is.
03:22:01.000 I wonder what other dinosaurs existed that they haven't found a body yet.
03:22:05.000 Because only animals that have bones like that that can be preserved are going to be preserved.
03:22:11.000 And they have to be caught up in a landslide or some shit, right?
03:22:15.000 Yeah, it's real specific.
03:22:16.000 Because you always say it's a rare process, fossilization, but...
03:22:20.000 Do you read these stories when they first found them?
03:22:22.000 And they have dinosaur bone wars and they're just like blowing them up in war.
03:22:27.000 Well, you know, these were faking it too.
03:22:29.000 Guys were faking dinosaurs.
03:22:30.000 Yeah, there were some people that faked dinosaurs back in the day.
03:22:33.000 Yeah, how they put them together wrong and all kinds of hilarious things.
03:22:36.000 There's a whole thing about the first two guys that found dinosaur bones and figured out.
03:22:41.000 Can you imagine being the first guy to find something that indicates there was giant lizards roaming the earth?
03:22:48.000 What is this?
03:22:49.000 They found a T-Rex and a Triceratops locked in a battle.
03:22:52.000 Wow!
03:22:53.000 So they're probably fighting to the death and got caught up in a landslide.
03:22:56.000 It weighs 14 tons.
03:22:58.000 Holy shit!
03:22:59.000 You gotta be trained too, because that just looks like someone stepped on a bug to me.
03:23:03.000 I'm like, wow, you guys.
03:23:04.000 Look at the ribs, man.
03:23:05.000 Look at that.
03:23:06.000 That's fucking wild.
03:23:08.000 It also shows you how not Indiana Jones archaeology is.
03:23:13.000 It's just you gently brushing some dust to get not...
03:23:16.000 Very slowly in that case.
03:23:18.000 Yeah.
03:23:19.000 To try to find these ancient dead creatures.
03:23:21.000 Like a bullwhip never comes into it.
03:23:25.000 No need for a satchel.
03:23:27.000 Well, slow down.
03:23:29.000 Yeah, he's got an IWC pilot's watch on.
03:23:33.000 Yeah, that whole way of discovering things that used to exist is so crazy if you think about it that way that it has to die in a very specific way to make a fossil.
03:23:44.000 There's that one dinosaur that they had in one of the Jurassic Park movies that fights a T-Rex and they just figured out totally...
03:23:51.000 They just made one up, right?
03:23:53.000 That giant thing?
03:23:55.000 Yeah.
03:23:55.000 The raptor's a little made up.
03:23:56.000 Well, the raptor, but...
03:23:57.000 Raptors are kind of little.
03:23:58.000 There's another one.
03:23:59.000 The way that they did in the movie, yeah.
03:24:00.000 They kind of...
03:24:01.000 There's another one to fight with the T-Rex dinosaur.
03:24:05.000 I'm forgetting what his name is.
03:24:06.000 They just discovered it probably was aquatic and not how they have it in the movie.
03:24:11.000 It was right after that.
03:24:13.000 One of the skeletons got blown up in World War II. That was the really good skeleton.
03:24:18.000 I don't know if they found another one or something, but that's why they didn't know because it got blown up in the war.
03:24:23.000 Oh, really?
03:24:23.000 Yeah.
03:24:24.000 There was a house that was for sale in Malibu, no, not in Malibu, in Beverly Hills, this crazy fucking house.
03:24:31.000 And it had a raptor skeleton included in the purchase.
03:24:35.000 Was that that debacle, $300 million one?
03:24:37.000 No, no, no, it wasn't that crazy.
03:24:38.000 It was crazy, though, but it was like $30 million crazy.
03:24:42.000 But one of the million in the $30 million was a dinosaur.
03:24:46.000 They had a fucking raptor.
03:24:49.000 You know how dope that would be?
03:24:50.000 Come over my house.
03:24:51.000 Oh, yeah, here's a dinosaur.
03:24:52.000 I mean, it's cool.
03:24:53.000 Look at that thing.
03:24:54.000 I'll tell you what, it's more respectable than a $50,000 blunt.
03:24:58.000 Yeah, that's a little ridiculous.
03:24:59.000 But I think that's a million dollars.
03:25:01.000 Remember Chappelle's show where he had cribs where he has tyrannosaur eggs?
03:25:10.000 He sprinkles diamonds in it because he makes his dookie twinkle.
03:25:18.000 He'll just be like, oh, it smells wild!
03:25:23.000 Should you be allowed to ode a dinosaur?
03:25:26.000 Can you sell a dinosaur?
03:25:27.000 How much would it cost to buy a dinosaur?
03:25:29.000 Why not?
03:25:30.000 They found some bones, a giant, in a guy's backyard.
03:25:33.000 Should you be able to keep that?
03:25:34.000 That's a good question.
03:25:35.000 Is that yours?
03:25:36.000 I don't know if you know, but you could still buy and sell people.
03:25:40.000 Why the hell not?
03:25:41.000 Go to YouTube and look what's going on in Libya.
03:25:44.000 That's what that was on.
03:25:45.000 You're welcome, Libya, by the way.
03:25:48.000 We came?
03:25:49.000 We saw?
03:25:50.000 He asked her about that, by the way, in the Jon Stewart thing.
03:25:52.000 Really?
03:25:52.000 With Libya.
03:25:53.000 It's unreal what they're saying.
03:25:55.000 Like, oh, do you just let them kill their own people?
03:25:57.000 They had this highest standard of living in Africa before we helped out.
03:26:03.000 Now it's a failed state.
03:26:05.000 Yeah, now they have slave markets.
03:26:07.000 That's what our...
03:26:09.000 Open slave markets that you could watch on YouTube.
03:26:11.000 There's no infrastructure.
03:26:13.000 That's the problem.
03:26:15.000 Yeah.
03:26:15.000 But there was an infrastructure.
03:26:16.000 They destroyed it.
03:26:18.000 But when you have brutal war after brutal war, you have areas of this world where they've been under the control of dictators, and then you just get rid of that dictator.
03:26:28.000 You have all these people that have been living in this brutal scenario.
03:26:32.000 With these totalitarian governments and executions and military, and then another powerhouse just comes in and takes over.
03:26:40.000 It's like prison gangs taking over.
03:26:41.000 But his thing was, I remember, this is the thing I remember, there was a moment during the war on terror that I remember they were kind of rehabbing his image, because he would go on the news and he was saying, like, we need to stop this Islamic terror.
03:26:54.000 He was saying that, and he came to America in his big tent.
03:26:58.000 Everybody talked about it.
03:26:59.000 And he had his, like, those Ukrainian or whatever all-female guard.
03:27:03.000 Remember all this stuff about him when he came in?
03:27:04.000 He was going to go off the Pedro dollar, which I never even heard of until a couple years ago.
03:27:09.000 And that's when he had to go.
03:27:11.000 Because they had built him up like, hey, you know, he's like an elder statesman who's learned.
03:27:15.000 And next thing you know, it's a bayonet rape.
03:27:19.000 Dude, the way they killed him.
03:27:20.000 When you see that video, the sheer animalistic terror in his eyes.
03:27:25.000 It's like a scene in a movie.
03:27:27.000 It's so stunning to see a guy who is a dictator getting captured by rebels and murdered right in front of you.
03:27:35.000 When they shove that bayonet up his ass and he doesn't even blink.
03:27:39.000 I mean, he was probably in shock.
03:27:41.000 He was 100% in shock, but the fact that guy just shoves it up his ass and he's just sitting there.
03:27:46.000 He's thinking, I should have stayed on that petrodollar.
03:27:49.000 Oh, yeah.
03:27:50.000 That's the first thing he was thinking.
03:27:52.000 I take it back.
03:27:53.000 Remember the story?
03:27:53.000 Because I remember I saw a movie, a documentary called The Mad Dog Killer.
03:27:57.000 And I remember seeing one about Saddam Hussein when I was younger that, not that I was a fan of Saddam Hussein, but it was like, there's one part where they're talking about his kids, you know?
03:28:07.000 Murderous sons.
03:28:08.000 Even his daughter once said to a classmate, I want to tear the teacher's vagina out.
03:28:12.000 And then they show his daughter.
03:28:13.000 She's like, I don't know, nine in this thing.
03:28:15.000 She's dancing and they put it in slow-mo.
03:28:17.000 She's like like, is this a smear job?
03:28:23.000 As a guy who's not into Saddam Hussein, it seemed a little bit much.
03:28:26.000 But also probably accurate.
03:28:28.000 You know what the sons did, right?
03:28:30.000 The sons were serial killers.
03:28:32.000 That devil's double thing, that guy might be completely full of shit and I think probably is.
03:28:37.000 What is that?
03:28:37.000 The whole story about he had to get surgery to look like Uday.
03:28:41.000 Oh, I did hear about that.
03:28:42.000 But I'm not talking about that.
03:28:44.000 I'm talking about what they used to do.
03:28:46.000 What Uday and his brother Kuse used to do.
03:28:49.000 They used to kidnap women on their wedding day and feed them to their dogs.
03:28:54.000 They'd rape them and feed them to their dogs.
03:28:56.000 They did horrific shit.
03:28:59.000 I have no...
03:29:00.000 Here's why it's easy, like...
03:29:02.000 Especially when it's time, you know, also, Saddam was given the key to the city of Dearborn, Michigan when I was young, back when we liked him, when he fought Iran.
03:29:12.000 So, I bet they did all kinds of crazy stuff and we liked him, and all of a sudden, now that we don't like you, now it's a problem that you do this.
03:29:19.000 Because there is no, I mean...
03:29:22.000 That's what's scary, dude, is that how much of the world is under the thumb of a dictator like that?
03:29:28.000 Most of it, as long as you do business with us how we want you to, you're good, man.
03:29:33.000 That's all you got to do.
03:29:34.000 And then that's like Gaddafi.
03:29:36.000 That's when it becomes a problem.
03:29:37.000 I think that was for France, actually.
03:29:39.000 Because some rebels had promised.
03:29:41.000 A bunch of his money all went to France.
03:29:44.000 Jesus Christ.
03:29:45.000 In Haiti now, we killed their president.
03:29:49.000 That was news briefly.
03:29:52.000 Who killed their president?
03:29:53.000 I think we did.
03:29:56.000 Unsubstantiated allegations on this nationally syndicated program?
03:30:00.000 Well, I saw it on Breaking Points initially.
03:30:02.000 What did they say?
03:30:03.000 They said something funny was going on and then never talked about it again.
03:30:07.000 But did they say that we actually executed them?
03:30:09.000 The guy when they...
03:30:11.000 What happened?
03:30:11.000 I'm ignorant to the story.
03:30:13.000 You're acting as if this is something that everybody knows about.
03:30:16.000 You don't know about it, do you?
03:30:18.000 No?
03:30:19.000 Oh, dude.
03:30:20.000 So...
03:30:20.000 So what happened?
03:30:21.000 So one of the guys that got caught, you know, they caught the shooters.
03:30:24.000 Okay.
03:30:25.000 Haiti president's assassination.
03:30:25.000 Okay, here we go.
03:30:26.000 What we know so far.
03:30:27.000 I wasn't cutting into just showing you the stuff.
03:30:31.000 So when was he assassinated?
03:30:33.000 January of this year.
03:30:37.000 Okay.
03:30:38.000 The mercenary?
03:30:39.000 His death in his private residence in the capital, Port-au-Prince.
03:30:42.000 Oh, last year.
03:30:43.000 Plunge the country already suffered.
03:30:46.000 Where does it say?
03:30:46.000 How was he killed?
03:30:47.000 He was shot dead inside his home in the Perlin 5 neighborhood in the hills above Port-au-Prince at 0100 local time on 7 July 2021, according to police.
03:31:01.000 The president was shot 12 times.
03:31:03.000 He had bullet wounds to his forehead and several to his torso.
03:31:06.000 His left eye had been gouged out, and bones in his arm and his ankle had been broken.
03:31:11.000 According to one of the judges conducting the investigation, he died at the scene.
03:31:16.000 It was found laying on the floor on his back.
03:31:19.000 His shirt soaked in blood.
03:31:20.000 The First Lady, Martine Moise, was also shot but survived.
03:31:25.000 Wait, where's the guy?
03:31:26.000 But the thing is, the mercenaries?
03:31:28.000 The guy is recorded saying, like...
03:31:31.000 That's the thing to find.
03:31:32.000 That's what I first saw was that recording, which I saw on Breaking Points.
03:31:37.000 Now...
03:31:37.000 What recording?
03:31:39.000 One of the killers was speaking in English and saying, like, I don't even want to quote it.
03:31:44.000 You could probably find it.
03:31:45.000 Well, we'll find it.
03:31:46.000 Let's find it.
03:31:47.000 That's crazy.
03:31:48.000 So that's when I first heard about it.
03:31:49.000 So I didn't know Haiti.
03:31:51.000 Did you know this?
03:31:52.000 They're like the only successful...
03:31:54.000 Colombian mercenaries who hired Hades Moise, hired by a U.S. firm.
03:31:59.000 Holy shit.
03:32:00.000 Oh, right.
03:32:01.000 They said they were hired.
03:32:01.000 Yeah, right.
03:32:03.000 Holy shit.
03:32:04.000 According to leaked audio, yeah.
03:32:07.000 Dimitri Herard, head of the Haiti Presidential Palace Security Union, visited Colombia six times this year from January to May, and his security firm has been linked to CTU Security, the Miami-based security firm that recruited the mercenaries.
03:32:21.000 Jesus Christ.
03:32:22.000 So are people in jail for this?
03:32:24.000 Like, what has happened?
03:32:26.000 I never heard any more reporting on it for a good long while until the reporting that we just sent a bunch of like heavy-duty equipment to quell The protests I guess they're rioters and bad But that's the story but that's I heard that and then nothing about it So a US firm hired the hit people is that's what they're alleging.
03:32:46.000 Yeah, is that for sure fact?
03:32:49.000 That's what they're alleging.
03:32:50.000 I mean...
03:32:51.000 Jesus Christ.
03:32:53.000 I'm sure you can't say it definitively.
03:32:58.000 I'll say it sounds plausible.
03:33:00.000 What firm?
03:33:01.000 Whatever, whatever.
03:33:02.000 We outsource.
03:33:03.000 Everything's outsourcing.
03:33:04.000 You get a firm to do a thing, and it's all...
03:33:06.000 That's what everybody does.
03:33:08.000 Never mind just, like, that kind of shit.
03:33:10.000 Just killing people.
03:33:12.000 Everything.
03:33:13.000 What was the Haiti president opposed to?
03:33:17.000 Well, I don't know what this initial one, but basically a lot of cheap labor comes out of there.
03:33:21.000 So a while back, when Hillary was in, they quelled a thing because they wanted, like, their pay is like, sub what our prisoners make.
03:33:29.000 Here it says, Haitian cops parade two U.S. mercenaries arrested over Jovenel Moisset assassination.
03:33:37.000 Jovenel, how do you say his name?
03:33:39.000 Jovenel Moisset.
03:33:40.000 Jovenel, yeah, I don't know.
03:33:42.000 I don't know why I'm acting like I know how to say that.
03:33:44.000 Jovenel.
03:33:45.000 They had two U.S. mercenaries.
03:33:47.000 But you know Haiti's story, right?
03:33:49.000 They had to pay.
03:33:50.000 They were the only successful slave revolt, I think, in history.
03:33:56.000 And they had to pay reparations for rebelling against it.
03:34:00.000 They had to pay for reparations in France until the 80s.
03:34:03.000 What?
03:34:04.000 Yeah.
03:34:04.000 Really?
03:34:05.000 Yeah.
03:34:05.000 For rebelling?
03:34:07.000 Yeah.
03:34:07.000 They caused them their slaves.
03:34:10.000 Yeah.
03:34:11.000 No way.
03:34:12.000 Look it up if you don't believe me.
03:34:14.000 How do you sleep at night?
03:34:16.000 I smoke a lot of weed.
03:34:18.000 But that's the problem, isn't it?
03:34:19.000 Makes you want to dig into this stuff more.
03:34:23.000 No, I would say don't dig into any of it is my advice.
03:34:27.000 When France extorted Haiti after enduring decades of exploitation at the hands of the French, Haiti somehow ended up paying reparations to the tune of nearly 30 billion in today's money.
03:34:39.000 You would think that would be a bigger thing.
03:34:43.000 Whoa!
03:34:44.000 But there's a lot of interest.
03:34:46.000 There's a lot of, I'm sure, bipartisan interest in keeping it how it is.
03:34:51.000 Holy shit, dude.
03:34:53.000 Remember all those Haitian immigrants are coming in they were saying they were whipping them, but it was like the reins on the guy's horse Yeah, that was people at the border.
03:35:03.000 They just had a photo that made it look like maybe he had swung that at somebody, but it was really just the rain on the horse.
03:35:10.000 Everything's so goddamn dishonest and also...
03:35:12.000 They just want to sell links, right?
03:35:14.000 They just want to sell clicks.
03:35:16.000 But not like the fact that Haiti paid reparations for not being slaves.
03:35:20.000 Okay, that's like a wild fact that...
03:35:23.000 I didn't know until five minutes ago.
03:35:25.000 Yeah, so instead of making up a whipping thing with a picture, why wouldn't you be talking about real things?
03:35:30.000 Do you know what I mean?
03:35:32.000 Well...
03:35:32.000 Because you don't give a shit.
03:35:34.000 That's my guess.
03:35:37.000 I think you might be onto something.
03:35:39.000 Yeah, it's crazy.
03:35:40.000 Yeah.
03:35:41.000 Dude, we're like four hours in.
03:35:42.000 Oh, shit, we are.
03:35:43.000 We've been rambling, son.
03:35:45.000 Yeah.
03:35:45.000 It's good to see you, man.
03:35:46.000 It's been a lot of fun.
03:35:47.000 Yeah, you too, man.
03:35:48.000 We've got to do this more often.
03:35:49.000 It's a real rabbit hole.
03:35:50.000 It's because I've got to work on Jimmy's goddamn show.
03:35:53.000 Yeah.
03:35:54.000 And vaguely be aware of...
03:35:57.000 Talk Jimmy into moving here.
03:35:59.000 Tell him to get out while he can.
03:36:00.000 I don't know.
03:36:02.000 I have no idea what...
03:36:03.000 I'll ask him.
03:36:06.000 He said what's up, by the way.
03:36:07.000 Tell myself what's up, too.
03:36:08.000 All right, brother.

03:36:34.000 We got, uh, yeah, we have, do you see we got Seinfeld to do the last one?
03:36:40.000 No.
03:36:41.000 Yeah, Seinfeld did it.
03:36:42.000 He played Sylvester, Skilvestre, Scalone, Skilebredy, Squid Game to feed a hungry kid.
03:36:48.000 He had to finish Seinfeld on it.
03:36:50.000 He was great.
03:36:51.000 He was like a great sport.
03:36:52.000 Oh, wow.
