00:03:15.000I mean, the benefit is the exercising your imagination and the interacting with other people's thoughts, which enriches your consciousness.
00:03:22.000So all that shit's available, yo, at audible.com.
00:03:26.000And they have many, many, many, many, many books.
00:08:01.000What about curative properties of honey?
00:08:04.000It actually dries you out really quickly because there's so much in there for the body to process that it takes all the fluids away from your...
00:09:51.000Yeah, it's also, they use it as a preservative.
00:09:54.000They used to store their mushrooms in honey.
00:09:56.000When they had psychedelic mushrooms, they'd dry them out and they would store them in honey to keep them from going bad.
00:10:03.000And they speculate that is one of the original ways, and this is just pure speculation, that human beings started drinking alcoholic beverages was fermented honey.
00:10:59.000If in the middle of the show you just feel fired up and you're ready to do a Turkish get-up with 60 pounds, you let the world know what the fuck is up, alright?
00:12:15.000Like, if you have it, nobody can do anything.
00:12:17.000If you bought it from another country, it's absolutely okay to have.
00:12:21.000It's not illegal, but you can't grow it yourself.
00:12:24.000It is one of the wackiest, stupidest examples of bureaucracy, government, and the idea that the people that run things are the best ones for the job and the most logical representatives of the human race.
00:12:43.000We have a bunch of monkeys that made a bunch of dumbass laws, and some of them are still in place.
00:12:47.000And they should be removed ASAP. Anyone with power, Obama, would look at this and say, this is not even a drug issue, okay, Mr. Obama, sir.
00:13:53.000I think it was World War II. My point being, it's an amazing plant outside of the fact that you can make oil with it, you can heat your house with it, you can actually make a house with it.
00:14:03.000Outside of the fact that Henry Ford's first fucking car, the panels of the car were made out of hemp.
00:14:24.000I would say it's the most useful plant on the face of the earth.
00:14:29.000Unless they come up with some new plant that has unbelievable regenerative capabilities and cures Alzheimer's disease and they find it in the jungle, until they find that plant, I would say that hemp is the most useful plant on the face of the earth.
00:16:11.000They blamed it on this thing called marijuana, which was a new drug that nobody had ever heard of, even though everybody was familiar with hemp.
00:16:19.000So they came up with a new name for it.
00:16:21.000But the new name wasn't even the real name for marijuana.
00:17:40.000And then they made it totally illegal.
00:17:41.000It was like a couple of steps, and essentially they took a lot of the people that were working in Prohibition, and once Prohibition went away for alcohol, they just said, well, just fucking get these people to work for weed.
00:17:51.000And they just went after marijuana, which was cannabis before that.
00:18:11.000They were trying to stop this new drug that was just spreading across the nation, and whites were getting raped by Mexicans and blacks, and it's called marijuana.
00:18:57.000When they were making marijuana illegal, they thought they were making this new drug, this new thing that they had become aware of.
00:19:03.000They thought they were making that illegal.
00:19:05.000That's why they named it marijuana when they were going after it in these stories.
00:19:09.000So when William Randolph Hearst wrote all these propaganda things, and that's when Reefer Madness came out and all this propaganda came out that's showing, like, People taking marijuana and going crazy.
00:19:20.000All that was instigated because William Randolph first, first of all, he owned paper mills.
00:19:40.000Whereas with trees, it takes years for trees to grow.
00:19:43.000You can replenish an entire forest of hemp in a few months.
00:19:47.000I mean, it's an unbelievable resource.
00:19:50.000So William Randolph Hearst knew that he was going to have to change over all of his paper mills and all of his forests that were filled with trees.
00:19:56.000He was going to have to change that shit over to make hemp paper now.
00:20:00.000The reason being was because they came up with a new product called a decorticator.
00:20:04.000And what a decorticator is, is a machine that allowed them to effectively process the hemp fiber.
00:20:09.000So for the first time, they didn't have to use slave labor, which was the only way they did it before.
00:20:14.000And then once the cotton gin came along, they were like, well, why are we fucking around with this hemp shit when it's too difficult to break down the hemp fiber?
00:21:48.000They showed you the leaf or something.
00:21:48.000They showed you the leaf and they showed you the buds and they showed – but what fucked people up was there had been people that had been smoking that shit forever and then farmers had been using that shit forever.
00:22:00.000What fucked people up was like, wait a minute.
00:22:02.000The Popular Science magazine cover that just came out was Hemp, the New Billion Dollar Crop.
00:22:09.000So what they did was they went, fuck that, and they stopped that, and they put the brakes on it.
00:22:14.000That's why hemp is illegal as well as marijuana.
00:22:19.000The only reason they're having hemp illegal now is for the same reason that they had marijuana illegal before, just because it looks like the other thing.
00:22:25.000The only reason marijuana was ever made illegal in the first place had nothing to do with getting high off of it.
00:24:38.000You sound like such a hippie douche when you go on and on and on about it.
00:24:41.000But it's so amazing, it's hard to believe that it's real.
00:24:45.000It's hard to believe that it's a real situation that we live in 2013 with all the information that we have today that's still illegal and that there's a giant truck that parked behind our fucking door.
00:24:56.000Why does this cutback keep parking right behind us?
00:28:42.000Melissa Etheridge and I were talking about that yesterday, about people who make it, and then once they make it, they just act like everybody owes them.
00:29:53.000He was this guy who was an ass-kissy guy who came from this company, but then as the reality of these aliens gets revealed, he's on this other planet, as the reality of these aliens gets revealed, he just becomes more and more mercenary.
00:30:06.000And then at the end, I don't want to give any spoiler alerts, but he get his!
00:32:24.000It's like you see things for what they really are, but unfortunately, what they really are is not that good.
00:32:29.000When I was on NewsRadio, the sitcom, they were just starting to use HD, and one of the things they said, this is the 90s, NewsRadio started in 94, and it ended in 99. And one of the things they said was that they're going to have HD and these actresses are fucked.
00:32:48.000Oh yeah, because they're going to see their mistakes.
00:33:12.000Yeah, I mean, people are used to really graphic, high-resolution porn, you know, where you see every zit on the girl's ass and, you know...
00:34:17.000Do you have to turn your head back and forth in order to...
00:34:19.000No, you just kind of feel like you're in the movie at a point.
00:34:22.000I watched Blu-ray porn And it was so disturbing because not only was the vagina taller than me in real life, but it was just like every single little detail, like freckle, and it looked like there was some yellow stuff coming out at one point.
00:34:41.000Wait, would you freeze-framed it and walked up to it?
00:41:21.000Well, the only reason why I say yes is because you ever see that Apache helicopter footage, the shit that they can do with those things now?
00:42:11.000If I was gonna kill you with a hammer, I'd just let you know right now, I would only use the flat part, because it seems like a gentlemanly thing to do.
00:42:17.000How many of those do you think are people just trying to hit somebody over the head with a hammer to knock him out?
00:42:54.000I mean, it's not something that you would want to do in life, but say if you were with a girl and all of a sudden some guy attacked the girl.
00:43:31.000Where can we have the greatest game of all, Joe?
00:43:32.000Well, the real problem, Ari, with killing people is that it's a power issue.
00:43:37.000And the real power issue, it's not that logically you shouldn't kill some people.
00:43:41.000The logical reason to kill people is the people that are doing something really awful to the human race, whether it's pedophilia, whether it's murder, whether it's, you know, fill in the blank with whatever horrific human crime against humanity.
00:44:13.000I knew a dude who killed a guy for money.
00:44:18.000Do you think you'd kill somebody if they were just going to find out you were doing something, and by them living, you were going to have to go to jail for 20 years?
00:49:35.000I had like an hour until my plane took off and I was looking at them just stopping everyone and each and every person having to go through that scanner.
00:49:41.000The old scanner, we had to raise your hand.
00:49:43.000And now, again, the new scanner, you have to raise your hand.
00:49:45.000It looks like they're conditioning us.
00:49:52.000If they found a guy with his fucking shoe with a bomb packed in his shoe and that guy could have been on your plane, if they don't check, When someone goes in with a bomb in their fucking shoe and blows you out of the sky, then what?
00:50:05.000Do you not think that there's a deterrent for bringing aboard bombs and bringing aboard really dangerous shit that could take down a plane by checking people's bags?
00:50:16.000And you're not allowed to say you walk on that plane going everywhere.
00:51:09.000Corruptible, but they're also just people that are there for a job that exists because there's a need.
00:51:15.000And the need is to make sure that people don't go on planes with fucking bombs because people are crazy assholes and a lot of people are willing to do something like that and blow themselves up and kill a bunch of people because it's terrorism and because it scares the fuck out of people and because it has a lot of value politically,
00:51:51.000Yeah, when they were able to do it before then, and then they found out and did it and did some shit, blew some people up, and they said, okay, we have to stop that now.
00:55:24.000I had fucking boner pills in my pocket.
00:55:26.000I didn't feel like taking them out in front of everyone at the airport.
00:55:28.000You know that's what you had in your pocket.
00:55:32.000What if you had a stick of C4? And what if you sat near a fucking exit door and blew your fucking brains out and punched a hole in the plane and the plane goes down?
00:55:40.000I understand that, but that's not what's happening.
00:55:41.000They're not catching anyone doing those things.
00:55:42.000I don't know that, and I don't think you know that either.
00:55:44.000They're not catching anyone doing those things.
00:55:48.000Citing national security concerns, the TSA will not point to any specific cases in which a screener stopped a would-be terrorist at a checkpoint.
00:55:56.000You know, they don't need to check us for the liquids anymore.
00:55:58.000You can just Pretty much carry through water.
00:56:02.000Because I think either their detector thing, the belt either recognizes it, they have the technology to do that, or they no longer think that's a threat in any way.
00:57:12.000And the excuses are like, well, if you don't like it, don't fly.
00:57:15.000Or you make some statement like, well, you know, planes are flying out of the sky.
00:57:20.000They're blowing up planes left and right.
00:57:21.000You don't want planes being blown up, do you?
00:57:23.000So if you're in favor of any sort of, like, these guys are taking it too far, then you're in favor of planes blowing up, which is not the case.
00:57:32.000Yeah, but they actually have busted people, it turns out.
00:57:34.000They busted a guy named Kevin Brown, a U.S. Army veteran who was trying to check luggage containing pipe bombs.
00:57:44.000This crazy motherfucker had pipe bomb-making materials in his luggage.
00:57:48.000He was trying to put together a pipe bomb.
00:58:10.000You've got to definitely go back to the old way, and you've definitely got to lock the cockpit door and tell them not to open it for any reasons.
01:01:07.000You're enforcing your opinion by exaggerating mine.
01:01:09.000No, because I want you to tell me what you think the problems are with TSA. Okay, the problems are with TSA the same problems they are with any system where people get in any position of power over people.
01:01:18.000They automatically act like douchebags.
01:03:00.000Jesus Christ, looking at your underwear?
01:03:02.000Because tapping your phone, listen to intimate conversations, find out aspects of your life that you wouldn't want revealed, find out where you live, what you're doing, what your plans are.
01:03:13.000That's not the same thing as checking for a bomb.
01:03:15.000But under those circumstances, it sort of is.
01:03:17.000Just looking at intimate parts of your life and they can look through your stuff.
01:03:21.000I mean, unless you've got a bag of dildos, which, by the way, Stanhope did.
01:03:25.000What if you're in the closet and you have a gay porn in there?
01:03:27.000He actually, on purpose, brought a bag of fucking, after September 11th, he had a whole suitcase filled with rubber fists and rubber vaginas and fists and dicks and just everything.
01:03:39.000And he just sent it through the x-ray so that they had to open it up and check it.
01:03:44.000He's like, yeah, yeah, that's my stuff.
01:03:46.000Ari, if you go to the Burbank airport...
01:04:07.000Aren't you scared from being such an asshole, I guess, is what you would call it, to these people, to get on some kind of no-fly list Especially since you're a comic.
01:04:22.000From them holding over you that if you cause too much trouble for us, we're going to threaten you to fear that you will no longer be allowed to fly.
01:04:29.000That's a real thought that people have.
01:04:46.000But they might decide that you make things very uncomfortable and unpleasant for a lot of people around you as well when you're at the airport.
01:07:57.000You should be worried about government corruption.
01:08:00.000And anybody that puts you in a government no-fly list because you have espoused views that they don't feel like fits the company line, that's very scary.
01:09:43.000Just because you have doesn't mean it's a real thing that no one has.
01:09:46.000So it's like obviously there's some times.
01:09:48.000You have people doing anything in a position of power.
01:09:51.000There's a certain percentage of Wrong interactions are going to take place where people are going to be harassed.
01:09:55.000Why are we putting untrained people in these positions of power over us?
01:09:58.000Because it would cost even more fucking taxpayer money to train these assholes and to pay them more money and to go and get more qualified, more socially advanced people for the job.
01:10:43.000Even if they privatized it, man, it'd be even creepier because then it would be some fucking giant corporation instead of some inept government agency.
01:11:45.000If you really care this much about it, you need to fight the guy that's in charge of all.
01:11:50.000It's not the employees that are just trying to work on kids, families.
01:11:52.000I try on Twitter sometimes to tell everybody that the head of the TSA, the guy who ran the TSA, is the guy who Who owned the company that made those scanners that we don't use anymore.
01:12:00.000He was the one who said, we need those scanners, and then he sold it to himself.
01:13:36.000They made, they threw 25 million dollars at this cunt in his stupid fucking scanning machines.
01:13:45.000Yeah, if you had to choose between money going to that or money going to mental health and education, nutrition for school kids, fuck you.
01:13:58.000I just think you should fight it on a larger scale than attacking poor employees of Burbank Airport or LAX Airport when they're just trying to do their job.
01:14:07.000I already told you, I don't respect that just trying to do my job argument in any way.
01:14:41.000If you were strapped wearing a vest or if you were wearing drugs taped to your body or if you were concealing something like a plastic weapon.
01:14:51.000Wouldn't strip search be the best thing?
01:14:53.000I guess strip search would be the best thing.
01:14:55.000Yeah, but so why would we not go that far?
01:14:58.000It's sort of a slippery slope, and I don't see why it's gone this far, and I don't know why it wouldn't go even further.
01:15:03.000Well, the only way it would go even further is if something cataclysmic happened.
01:17:53.000You're absolutely taking away their room.
01:17:54.000And if you have a chair, and your chair goes like this, and the person behind you has a chair, and their chair goes like that also, you've just shared space in a different way.
01:19:04.000Again, but that doesn't mean you should kick the back of their – make their whole day horrible because – Honestly, Brian, the last time I did it was five years ago.
01:20:25.000How can you not see that that would be hard for somebody?
01:20:28.000Ari, there's a huge difference between how could you not see that it's better if the guy doesn't recline and going, that's his seat, he wants to recline.
01:20:36.000He wants to recline because he's more comfortable when he's sitting back.
01:22:39.000I mean, that's what business class is for, too, because you're supposed to have more room because you have a laptop and you're actually doing business where most people, like myself, I just sleep.
01:22:48.000I lay back, I sleep the whole entire flight or something like that, you know?
01:24:25.000But I also see that you get real aggro about shit that can be avoided.
01:24:29.000And I think that if someone leans their chair back and I'm sitting in coach and the thing is like this and I can't do it anymore, I will fucking close it and I'll pick up a book or I'll do nothing.
01:24:39.000I'm not going to get upset at some guy who's just using his chair function.
01:24:44.000You saying that I need to do mushrooms because I don't see the empathy and you going berserk over something you're not going to ever control is ridiculous.
01:24:57.000Yeah, well, you're not looking at them as human beings.
01:24:58.000That definitely is the most aggravated I get in my life, pretty much, the TSA people.
01:25:02.000You're being really hypocritical on that.
01:25:04.000It's really kind of silly that you're saying that we don't have empathy for you getting upset because you can't use your laptop, and these people just have a job that you don't necessarily like, and they're not necessarily being shitty to you at all.
01:25:15.000I saw the way those people were reacting to you when you were yelling at them.
01:26:48.000The idea behind it, behind any loss of civil liberties and any loss of privacy, I'm not a fan of any of that shit, but this is a part of flying.
01:27:02.000It's not a major issue, in my opinion.
01:27:05.000And when I see these aberrations that people like to point out, examples of things that the TSA has done, like someone stole something, I absolutely think that can happen.
01:27:15.000I absolutely think that people can fuck up.
01:28:22.000These are people that are impoverished, they don't live in the best neighborhoods, they don't have a lot of opportunities, whatever it is.
01:28:28.000And so those are the people that they're trying to get to be professional and those are the people that are trying to get to represent their company.
01:28:33.000And of course it doesn't run smoothly.
01:28:35.000Like most human beings, You put them in a situation, any situation, and have a group of them that are in control over a massive group of people, and you ask them to behave orderly, good luck with that.
01:29:52.000But I don't like that the fact that TSA is there taking away our civil liberties.
01:29:56.000And I hate even saying the word civil liberties because it makes it seem like you're a political coot.
01:29:59.000If you really worry about civil liberties, the TSA is not what you should be concerned with.
01:30:04.000You should be focusing your efforts on the National Defense Authorization Act, the Patriot Act.
01:30:08.000You should be focusing your recent admission from the Obama administration that they've protocol to use drones, armed drones, on US civilians.
01:30:20.000They're trying to figure out how to get away with that.
01:30:23.000Drones with guns to shoot you out of the fucking sky.
01:30:27.000If you want to worry about civil liberties, I'm with you.
01:30:30.000But this is not one, in my opinion, that needs the kind of attention that you're giving it.
01:30:35.000Maybe it's just that I'm not used to it yet or something.
01:31:42.000Because you've done something that's either horrible or you're dangerous or you're threatening my health and I'm in a situation where I'm letting you know, like, I'm yelling too.
01:32:18.000Because aren't they also – I'm not trying to be right here.
01:32:20.000But aren't they also putting us in the position of having to fucking – just every single time we go, having to give up a little something, feel a little bad.
01:32:29.000Well, they're putting you in a position where they have to check your shit, but I don't feel bad.
01:32:34.000I'm telling you, when I go through it, I don't feel bad.
01:34:23.000Yeah, I think it's very stupid if me and you fly almost every week that we have to wait in the same line as this woman that's never flown ever.
01:36:36.000And even the stuff about the NDAA or whatever else that is, it's like, do we have the power to stop any of these things?
01:36:42.000Well, you have to do the power to contact your congressman.
01:36:45.000You have the power to write letters to senators.
01:36:47.000You have the power to make petitions online.
01:36:49.000You have the power to talk about it on social media.
01:36:51.000So they understand that people are very upset about these trends and they understand that when voting comes around again, they're not going to vote for people that represent these trends.
01:36:59.000That's why so many people were excited about Ron Paul.
01:37:18.000He was representing someone who would be just and for the people.
01:37:20.000Well, he said a lot of things that were just not accurate at all, like about closing Guantanamo Bay and about changing the way we do business.
01:37:28.000I think once he got in there, he realized he was dealing with a machine.
01:39:34.000You are just – you're making these decisions without consulting the will of the people that are absolutely fundamentally altering the rights and liberties of the people that elected you into a position of power in the first place.
01:39:47.000You're essentially removing their power once they've given you power.
01:40:01.000It's absolutely everything that's against the concept of being American.
01:40:05.000But like anything else, once you've established an organization, it fights to stay alive.
01:40:12.000And government is fighting to stay alive by making itself more and more complicated and intertwined with our lives.
01:40:19.000Because the reality is, when we have more access to each other, the way we have now with the Internet, The way we have now with podcasting, we have an ability to explain things and communicate with people in a way that's never existed before.
01:40:32.000So you don't rely on daddy anymore as much.
01:40:35.000You don't rely on daddy government to let you know what the news are.
01:40:39.000Daddy government doesn't have to tell you what the news is.
01:41:12.000I don't think that's necessarily the case.
01:41:15.000I think someone who really believes in the Constitution and they can be effective as a politician, I don't think it's necessary to get rid of Congress.
01:41:23.000But I think that, like everything else, it's really hard to find really good people that can think And that are smart and motivated and are doing it for the right reasons.
01:41:34.000Like, why do most people want to be senators?
01:41:36.000Why do most people want to be congressmen?
01:43:30.000An active guy in a cult who made a career out of fucking over corporations and fucking over people and essentially hijacking a system and making millions and millions of dollars.
01:44:39.000There's just giant Mitt Romney posters.
01:44:41.000So I'm like, what you're saying is, you're looking at a guy who's in an organization that was created by a con man who was 14 years old, who created a fake religion that's based on 100% bullshit.
01:44:57.000Religion's tough because people are born with it so they can't fight it anymore.
01:48:00.000You should be able to wheel that wheelchair in, scan it, make sure there's nothing in, and that lady should be able to stay in her fucking wheelchair.
01:48:41.000The real problem is there is going to be guys who want to blow up planes.
01:48:45.000And I don't want them to be able to go on with a big flask of explosives strapped to their back that no one saw when they were going through the radar detector.
01:48:58.000I wonder when planes became the most important thing.
01:49:01.000Well, they thought about blowing up planes.
01:49:03.000The United States was using that in Operation Northwoods as part of a false flag event.
01:49:18.000So one of the best ways to instill terror in people is to add the fear of death, which everybody already has, and then add it to a fear of flying.
01:49:26.000So that's why they don't crash at like a Super Bowl or a type of thing like that?
01:49:32.000Think about, I mean, if you really had like a nuke bomb or something like that, you really had something that you really want to scare the fuck out of people, and you know there's going to be 80,000 people in this town, and they're all going to come down to watch this one game...
01:49:59.000You know, and I'm not saying that people who have been approved for concealed carry permits and security specialists and the like shouldn't be allowed to carry.
01:50:07.000I think they should be allowed to carry.
01:50:08.000I don't have a problem with people having guns.
01:50:36.000And just like, ah, just like trudging along.
01:50:39.000Well, there are folks who they need something to keep them straight.
01:50:43.000And when they're off that something, their reality becomes really distorted, especially when they're taking it and then they stop taking it because there's a withdrawal of Where your brain doesn't know what the fuck is going on and reality can get really slippery.
01:50:58.000They said that 90% of school shootings came from people who were either on SSRIs or were off them and were suffering from withdrawal from them.
01:51:11.00090% of all school shootings, 90%, either came from someone who was on antidepressants or was suffering through withdrawals from stopping taking them recently.
01:53:42.000When you get in your car, your car is Bluetooth.
01:53:46.000If you get in your car, I think on modern cars, your car is Bluetooth, you should recognize that you're in a car, and it should kill your fucking texting.
01:57:36.000A little girl just hoping she'll keep it shut.
01:57:38.000I was talking to this with a buddy of mine that he thought about some friend of his, some chick friend of his, and he goes, no, we definitely should not fuck.
01:57:45.000That's a good friend of mine for a long time.
01:57:47.000And then he's like, you're there, and I see you have a chance, and you're like, oh, maybe...
01:58:40.000It's just, we're so restrictive in our culture and the way we look at it.
01:58:45.000It was really fascinating having that guy, Christopher Ryan, on the podcast, the guy who wrote Sex at Dawn.
01:58:51.000We talked about our ideas of sexuality, a lot of them are confusing because our idea of promiscuous, we look at people that are in non-monogamous relationships as being promiscuous.
01:59:07.000So if you think of promiscuous, you think of, especially with girls, you think of someone who goes out and fucks a lot of guys and has shallow relationships, woo!
01:59:16.000That's not the original meaning of promiscuous.
01:59:18.000The original meaning is based on Latin or whatever, the word for mixed.
01:59:23.000And the idea was that people in small tribes of like 50 people would have sexual relationships with more than one person.
01:59:33.000Their whole life they knew these people.
01:59:35.000So it wasn't that they were just having random sex with strangers because no one ever does that in those tribes.
01:59:41.000You don't meet someone in another tribe because they might kill you and eat you.
01:59:45.000Because if you ran into another tribe and they weren't your people, they could be the enemy.
01:59:50.000I mean, they're not going to treat you the way you would go to Finland today, hop on a plane, land, and get your shit and go to an airport.
02:01:37.000A boy armed with a gun killed one of his schoolmates and severely wounded several others, presumably firing upon them in retaliation for bullying.
02:03:15.000There's also an argument with the SSRIs that it's not the cause and that it's just a symptom of the fact that these people were depressed in the first place.
02:03:23.000And there's so many doctors that are willing to prescribe you these things and not necessarily caused by SSRIs.
02:03:31.000The only problem with that argument is that one of the very effects of antidepressants is the fact that you can just deal with shit easier.
02:04:00.000You know, the real thing is, what's really scary is the amount of people that are medicated in this country and the lack of information we have about the long-term effects of some of this medication.
02:04:10.000Because no one has been on antidepressants for 80 years.
02:05:18.000And people get stuck into a school system and someone's not paying attention and someone allows that person to get victimized and become a horrific monster because they get bullied and they get fucked with.
02:05:31.000That is the case a lot of the time, man.
02:05:33.000That is the case a lot of the fucking time.
02:05:36.000And that's someone who doesn't feel like they have any value and they want to unleash that feeling of lack of value on other people.
02:05:43.000And they want to do something horrible because they feel terrible themselves.
02:05:47.000We have to figure out a way to, even though we are in a community of 300 million people, we have to reinstall the ideas of community, of being nice to each other.
02:05:58.000That's why I want those people to be captured alive.
02:06:00.000I want to be able to talk to them and say, the shooters, school shooters, and be like, what's going through your head beforehand?
02:09:59.000People who have murdered people with their bare hands give better treatment than this guy who thought he's being a patriot.
02:10:05.000And, you know, the real issue that people have to come to grips with is part of the idea of liberty is that you're defending yourself against enemies both foreign and domestic.
02:10:23.000If it's secretive and you can hide the information from the public, but if the public saw that information they would be aghast and horrified, well that information is stopping them from evaluating the actual landscape.
02:10:38.000The actual landscape that they're playing on, the actual rules of the game, the actual board in front of them, because they don't really see that.
02:10:45.000And by removing the information that's involved in war, by removing the bodies, the real video footage, then you remove access to more of the truth that would help people decide whether or not they support that or not support that.
02:11:02.000That just by itself, that lack of information, that Withholding of information is...
02:11:08.000Yeah, it's their decision saying the public doesn't need this.
02:14:00.000You do it yourself and then you sell it to your fans and six, eight months later, a year later, then you put it on our network and then say, okay, anybody new wants to check this out.
02:15:55.000I'll do a couple of these on my own, and then a year later I'll go to Comedy Central and say, hey, you know, you guys want to do another one?
02:16:01.000And then maybe I could do one there, and then I'll do it both ways.
02:16:04.000Do yours on your own too, and then give it to them later.
02:16:06.000Yeah, or do it on my own and sell it to them.
02:17:39.000Because a bunch of new people found out you were coming.
02:17:40.000Yeah, because a lot of people just didn't even know if I was any good.
02:17:45.000We've seen a lot of people that are on TV that do stand-up, and then you go see them, and you're like, oh, this is clunky, shitty stand-up.
02:19:04.000I always tell people those clunky jokes.
02:19:07.000Everybody has an act where, I mean, not everybody, but a lot of comics, they have an act where they have a couple killer bits, and they have a few bits that are just left over from the old days.
02:19:18.000I'm like, you've got to get rid of those.
02:19:22.000They're dangerous because when you have a really shitty joke, That shitty joke is an echo of your lack of proficiency in the early parts of your career.
02:19:31.000And you're sort of repeating that echo.
02:21:01.000Well, what you've got to realize at a certain point in time is that you are the only person who can put out Ari Shafir material.
02:21:09.000So if someone's an Ari Shafir fan, you're the only way that they can get that experience.
02:21:15.000If they enjoy watching you and they go, oh, I saw Ari Shafir and the way he made me feel, boy, I became a fan.
02:21:23.000You know, when you become a fan of somebody, it's like you want more fucking content from that person.
02:21:29.000And the reality is, if you go to see a guy, and you go to see him six years later, and he's doing the same act in the same order, you're not going to be a fan anymore.
02:24:14.000Tom Driessen was only a Laugh Factory now, I guess, but he was making like a few hundred grand a year.
02:24:20.000They showed up where people came from, too.
02:24:22.000He came from Chicago, I think, working clubs there, so he got to the store, got in, making a few hundred grand a year, and then they all did a New Year's show.
02:24:29.000Two sold-out shows in the OR, maybe one in the main room, and this kid, one of them, who was on that New Year's show, They all went to Cannes late at night every night, and he was like, hey, can I borrow $5 for an omelet?
02:27:00.000But it was my choice to help promote the club and keep it going, because I realized, as a comic, I need a place like that, and we all need it.
02:27:42.000Well they said also it was a workout at the time in the store.
02:27:44.000Not the UCB, but at the time in the store they said that's a workout room.
02:27:47.000They don't want it to be about you're paid for comedy so you have to feel like you have to do something.
02:27:51.000But then they should put it in Pasadena.
02:27:53.000Well, but then they said that this, they said, um, Boosler, Elaine Boosler, who was like the one girl comic at the time, was, uh, which I gotta watch some of her old stuff, because the way they make her seem in this book, like she was like pretty legit.
02:28:07.000It's a different time, but yeah, she was definitely legit.
02:28:10.000But she said, she said, well, wait a minute.
02:28:12.000I've heard Mitzi say no to somebody because they were too experimental.
02:28:15.000So how can somebody be too experimental and also be a workout club?
02:28:18.000Well, worse off than that, I mean, it's not a workout club because it was constantly visited by agents and managers.
02:28:26.000They said no one would dare try new material there.
02:28:27.000Yeah, you didn't really work out because if you ate dick up there, that could be the time that someone saw you and you would bomb.
02:28:33.000Whereas if you go to a place like Pasadena, you could try out some shit out there because most likely it's 20 minutes outside of L.A. You wouldn't get agents or Irvine or something like that.
02:30:28.000I mean, I've had people, there was a dude who waited in line at the fucking Ice House, waited in line, you know, because I always take pictures with people afterwards.
02:30:35.000A guy who was a comic waited in line to the very end.
02:30:37.000I told you, and he asked me how he gets on the show.
02:35:05.000Some of those 70s horror movies, because it's so grainy that it lends itself, since it's old, to be more legit, as opposed to a special effects movie that makes it less legit.
02:35:14.000Well, I watched it with Mrs. Rogan, and we were like, wow, this is really interesting.
02:35:18.000It's such a different style of film, like the way they did.
02:38:44.000And they are putting together all the existing known knowledge about the human brain, and they're trying to reconstruct the brain piece by piece in a supercomputer-based model and simulation.
02:38:57.000The project is actually the latest to be chosen by the European Commission to receive funding as a part of the FET flagship initiatives.
02:39:04.000So the Cerebral Challenge will be headed up by Switzerland's Eco Polytechnique, whatever the fuck it is.
02:39:11.000And it's estimated to cost 1.19 billion euros.
02:39:16.000So what these guys are doing is they're essentially going to make an artificial brain.
02:40:17.000What they're going to do is, the idea is you're going to be able to go supersonic speeds, and you're going to be able to do it just like the Concorde was doing it, but they're going to do it in space.
02:40:28.000But how long would it take you just to get to space?
02:42:14.000Think about 1960. 1960 was 50 years ago.
02:42:18.000Well, they look at all these natural disasters, tsunamis and stuff, and people are like, oh, that's terrible, but shit happens or whatever.
02:42:23.000And they're like, no, no, this happens every 80 years.
02:43:08.000But even if we didn't affect it, 10 minutes, even if we didn't affect it, the temperature of the Earth has varied throughout history greatly.
02:43:51.000And by the way, everybody, in North Carolina, I'll be in Raleigh, North Carolina this weekend, so you guys don't get my special until I'm there.
02:47:10.000And if you want to see Juicy Red Band and Juicy Joey Coco Diaz, it's harder and harder to get Joey Coco Diaz to open for me, folks, because the dude is just blowing up.
02:47:20.000We still don't know if he will even show up.
