In this week's episode, the boys discuss the first race of the season, the birth of a baby, and the weird things they've been up to in the past week. They also talk about a new product from Shroom Tech Sport, a plant based on the Cordyceps mushroom, and some of the weirdest things that have been going on in their lives in the last week or so. Also, the guys talk about how much they're getting paid to be a part of the podcast, and why they don't have enough money to go out and buy a car.

00:00:32.000This podcast is brought to you by Hover.
00:00:34.000If you go to hover.com forward slash Rogan, you can get 10% off your domain name registrations, plus a lot of stuff Hover provides for free, like whoisprivacy.com.
00:00:49.000What Hover is is a company that's owned by the same folks that own Ting and with the same sort of ethics behind them.
00:00:55.000They just want to put together a cool website where you can buy a domain name fairly easily and do it all ethically and have it set up real simple, easy, intuitive.
00:01:09.000I just used it the other day to register some websites.
00:01:12.000I'm going to go into foreign business, son.
00:01:45.000But then, like, it gives you, like, the other available domains that you can buy through Hover, and it just goes from Duncanlovesbabies.net to Chicago babies.
00:02:30.000We are also brought to you by Onnit.com.
00:02:33.000That's O-N-N-I-T. I've done this commercial a fucking billion times.
00:02:40.000What Onnit is, is a company that sells supplements that increase your performance, whether it's Cognitively, whether it's physically, there's Shroom Tech Sport, which is an amazing supplement that we put together.
00:02:56.000It's from the Cordyceps mushroom, and the idea behind it is there's certain plants, like Cordyceps mushroom being an excellent one, but it's not really a plant, because Cordyceps mushroom is a crazy kind of fungus.
00:04:22.000But I've been taking nootropics forever, too.
00:04:25.000I just think it only makes sense to me that if it's possible, as long as I'm not starving, as long as I have money to buy supplements, and if you don't, you know, spend your money on healthy food.
00:04:34.000But if you have the money, I would always think that...
00:04:49.000I know there's a big difference between the way I am when I'm hungover, there's a big difference between the way I am when I'm jet-lagged, and when I'm in the groove, when I feel great, and my words are flowing, and conversations are going smoothly, and you're in the middle.
00:05:03.000I don't know what the fuck causes that, okay?
00:06:16.000It's a subtle difference, but I believe it's a real difference.
00:06:19.000I think it improves the quality of my thinking.
00:06:22.000It sounds crazy, but if you just Google nootropic, N-O-O-T-R-O-P-I-C, you will see all the different studies and tests that have been done on it and shown increases in memory and It's really fascinating stuff and very controversial,
00:06:54.000You know, I've talked about this supplement company so many times with so many podcasts, it almost seems ridiculous, but it's just something I believe in.
00:07:03.000I believe in the ethics of the company.
00:08:11.000He's just all about going after it and getting it.
00:08:14.000When you talk about going after it and getting it, though, there's a certain douchiness that just sort of comes off when you talk about anything that pumps up your masculinity.
00:08:30.000Anything that makes you more vibrant as a man.
00:08:37.000And one of the things that was in, the guy that my message board picked up, was it said in this new supplement, T Plus, a testosterone supplement, it said something about it increasing your swagger.
00:09:26.000It's like the name that should not be said.
00:09:28.000Do you know, I mean, what is that when you feel great, when your life is fucking rolling around, perfect, just on the perfect frequency, and you have that feeling like you're just walking.
00:11:02.000Supplement to increase your body's production of testosterone, but at the end of it, it was him with two little hotties at a bar, and it was like, no!
00:11:11.000Look at that, he's just grinding cocaine up.
00:12:30.000It's like our age starts the moment the matter we're composed of wakes up to an awareness of itself and stops the moment it's not aware of itself anymore.
00:12:38.000But what we are, that's not really our age.
00:12:40.000It's much longer than that and surviving means You've extended the amount of self-awareness by some number of years.
00:12:59.000There's so many other things I'd like to be represented by than that.
00:13:05.000I mean anyone out there who's fighting cancer right now, by the way, keep up the good fight.
00:13:09.000There's a whole brotherhood that you find out there of people – an ancestorhood of people who are dealing with this shit and it's beautiful.
00:13:16.000So I don't mean to denigrate your struggle that you're going through.
00:13:19.000It's just – I wish there was another word for it than survivor.
00:14:18.000And I think that's where it's weird to me.
00:14:20.000It's like, well, no, you're the sum total of everything you've done, not just some inevitable blip that emerged that you climbed out of or temporarily managed to stop.
00:14:31.000Why are you wearing a pink ribbon then?
00:14:33.000How do you know what's tied around my cock?
00:15:25.000Yeah, it was like, Hugh Hefner had said in this magazine, like they were asking him, like, hey, you know, you date like these 20-year-old girls.
00:16:56.000Yeah, there was a woman in Russia, I think it was a Russian woman, who could stick something in her pussy and clamp it down and pick up weight.
00:17:06.000Actually, like a jaw, it would clamp down.
00:17:09.000She would stick a ball on a rope in her pussy and then clamp down and lift weights.
00:18:23.000Like, you know, like, if you came out of a spaceship on some alien planet and you're like, alright, while I'm on this planet, I'm going to make it so my vaginal muscles are fucking strong!
00:18:34.000Well, if you enjoy sex, though, and you enjoy pleasure, it really is possible that you can make the vaginal muscles stronger.
00:21:06.000Like, their products are a little bit weaker and not safe.
00:21:09.000But you go to some of these, like, miscellaneous gas stations that don't give a shit, there's, like, these things called, like, ML2, like, good for two weeks.
00:21:16.000And you're like, how is that even possible?
00:21:18.000And then so you take it, and, like, on the cover, it's just, like, a skull and a boob or something.
00:21:22.000Well, the way they're getting away with it, as Aubrey told us, was that they're taking...
00:21:28.000They're taking giant amounts of generic Cialis and generic Viagra and like those chemicals are not that expensive and you can get those chemicals and if you sell it in like little single serving forms at a gas station, it's actually like profitable.
00:21:45.000So these crazy fucks are just selling Viagra.
00:21:58.000Tim Ferriss, who's a brilliant guy, has a great quote.
00:22:02.000And the quote is, he doesn't believe there's a biological free lunch.
00:22:06.000He's like, anything that's doing that has that positive an impact in one direction will have, most likely, an equally positive reaction in another direction.
00:22:18.000It's very possible that it could cause real issues.
00:22:21.000You're talking about something super potent.
00:24:30.000And the fucking thing, man, it says on it, I researched this stuff, it says, and this made me think that Aubrey's Cialis theory was totally dead on, because on the website, it says that the ingredient is crushed up ants.
00:25:25.000And then, by the way, it might be possible that there's a toxin in certain ants that could give you a hard-on because they know that spider has it.
00:26:30.000They're trying to figure out a way to do it.
00:26:33.000And apparently that's connected to nitric oxide.
00:26:38.000And that nitric oxide, I believe I'm saying it right, is what is in a lot of those NO2 explode, all these different sort of supplements, these pre-workout supplements that get people pumped up.
00:26:51.000Because apparently, Viagra, Cialis, all those things, they're performance enhancing.
00:26:57.000As far as your body's ability to pump blood through itself, it makes you more efficient.
00:27:04.000And it gives you an endurance benefit.
00:31:15.000There's a dude named Ray Elby who is an MMA fighter who posted a picture of a bunch of blood and some shit and told a story on the underground.
00:31:25.000A girl got on top and she just landed on his dick and broke his dick and started bleeding.
00:32:39.000One, I tend to have a girlfriend, and I'm monogamous, so that's one thing.
00:32:44.000But when that's not happening, then generally there's this – it's like I really get in my head about it.
00:32:51.000And so I think about – I overthink it.
00:32:54.000Like I'm way in my head about everything.
00:32:56.000Like I live in my head most of the time.
00:32:58.000And when you live in – there's good things about living in your head.
00:33:02.000But when it comes to fucking – And jumping into this primal animalistic state that creates the best sexual experience where you just let go and it's more difficult to me, especially out on the fucking road.
00:33:16.000Because I consider the lead up to it and I consider the follow, like after you fuck, You know what I mean?
00:33:26.000And it's like – because porn is the ultimate.
00:33:28.000Because with porn, you jerk off to porn and that's it.
00:33:32.000You don't have to like walk porn to the door.
00:33:33.000You don't have to like have a – like porn, it's done.
00:33:45.000And so you just get this middle thing.
00:33:47.000When you watch porn, you don't see the beginning.
00:33:49.000You don't see what happens right before the porn shoot or, God forbid, 10 years, the girl walking in on her dad fucking a dog or something or getting fingered by her uncle.
00:34:01.000You just see this incredible, beautiful, primal moment of fucking.
00:34:04.000And you don't see afterwards, after the porn shoot.
00:34:37.000Satanists are all about doing that stuff.
00:34:39.000You know, I had a friend who was a Satanist and he said that in life, and I remember it was really, it's really rough when a Satanist says something that seems like absolutely true.
00:34:50.000But he's like, you know, this is coming from a guy with Lucifer tattooed on his chest.
00:35:44.000Well, I mean, he was saying hell doesn't exist.
00:35:45.000You know, the whole Christian idea of hell is nonsense.
00:35:48.000That the only real hell, since there is no hell, absolutely, if there was obviously, if there was a real Christian hell where demons fly down and put their balls in your mouth and like slice you into bits every five minutes.
00:35:57.000Wouldn't you be surprised if there actually was?
00:36:05.000I mean think about how fucking stupid you would feel.
00:36:08.000If you were actually, like, being confronted by demons, they were flaying your eternal soul, they'd be like, motherfucker, I can't believe it!
00:37:19.000The first thing you'd want people to think is that they're not in a torture chamber.
00:37:23.000You'd want them to think that there's some hope, some hope for peace.
00:37:28.000As long as they were hoping for peace and thinking that there was going to be some moment of tranquility, it would increase their levels of disappointment to the maximum.
00:37:42.000We've been – this is the ultimate torture device devised by some maniacal, insane god that everyone has popped into and instead of like remembering where they're at, they're just like, oh no, this is totally normal.
00:37:56.000I got to go through traffic in the morning.
00:37:58.000Got to go through three-hour commutes.
00:38:29.000It's a series of shitty choices, a bad circumstance, bad luck, a combination of all the above.
00:38:37.000And most of the time when you use that term, a guy lives in hell, you're talking about a guy who's under someone's thumb.
00:38:45.000Whether it's whether he works for some crazy company, you know, that, you know, demands him working 16 hours a day and his weekends.
00:38:56.000And, you know, there's a lot of guys that live in hell that are like executives at studios and stuff like that.
00:39:00.000Like those are crazy ass jobs, you know, working in, you know, I mean, I'm sure like stock market along those lines, like anything financial, there's probably a lot of people that are forced to work.
00:39:14.000And if you have real restrictive work conditions, you have to wear a suit and tie, you have to fucking be very formal around the office, nobody can fuck around, nobody can relax.
00:39:40.000He's this philosopher, the Indian philosopher, who was like this kid who was discovered by the theosophists and the theosophists were this strange spiritual group.
00:39:49.000I don't know a lot about them but they – Madame Blatavsky was the woman's name.
00:39:53.000But they spotted this Indian kid at the beach and one of them was like his aura is amazing or something and they sort of took this kid in and groomed this child and he eventually became this brilliant philosopher and as part of his like evolution turned his back on theosophy and said it's – that's not – it's more – he got really into the idea of being in the moment.
00:40:17.000And I actually, on one of my podcasts, I put an awesome sound clip of him talking about how the past, you carry the past with you.
00:40:29.000There's just your encoded memories of things that have happened.
00:40:32.000And the future is something you create through everything that you do, but there's no future either.
00:40:38.000It's like you're this packet, like a DNA packet, the way their DNA sort of spawns a specific type of cell.
00:40:47.000What you do with what you carry around with you in every single moment spawns your reality around you, which is why people who, you know, you always will run into people like, I don't know why this always happens to me.
00:41:32.000In this awesome sound clip, J. Krishnamurti says, the only thing that you can do is right now at this moment make a radical psychological change in your apprehension of the universe.
00:41:49.000It takes this radical, like, you have to break free of everything you've been taught.
00:41:53.000Because we've all been taught to think that there's a future.
00:41:56.000And we've all been taught to think there's a past.
00:41:59.000There's also an issue that people have that this narrative has been sort of spelled out for us by our parents.
00:42:05.000And then as we get old enough, when we get into our 20s or in our 30s, we really understand it.
00:42:11.000We're like, oh my god, they were just clueless folks, just like we are.
00:42:15.000Like, the idea that anybody had a handle on how to do this right.
00:42:20.000And then you just look at the fact that these people, I mean, your parents and my parents, Are from a generation where they got to our age before there was an internet.
00:42:31.000I mean, they're literally, they're different human beings.
00:42:35.000It's a completely different style of human being.
00:42:38.000It's human being one, we're human being two.
00:42:42.000And this human being three that are being born right now that will only know insane levels of technological proficiency from the time that they're aware when they're three or four till they're dead when it's insane.
00:43:07.000The more information keeps coming in, the weirder things start getting, the fucking meteors landing in Russia, the fact that no one even saw those coming, and that there was a giant asteroid that...
00:43:19.000Whipped overhead within a day of that.
00:43:36.000And generally with people, that thing where we just don't think about the – as a species, we are living in the same way a modern individual lives.
00:43:47.000A species as a whole is living in a state of delusion.
00:43:51.000The species as a whole is pretending that the most important thing is solving whatever little religious war or territory-based war or economic problem.
00:44:04.000They think that's the most important thing and the way we're living as a species is all based on the notion of there being the individual instead of the totality of the race.
00:44:13.000So this way of living is one of denial.
00:44:17.000So the human race right now exists on a planet where we blow each other up every single day, fight these ridiculous wars, fight against each other, and completely ignore the fact that we are floating in the void.
00:44:30.000And this planet, on the regs, on the regs, gets smashed by fucking meteors.
00:44:36.000Now, why the fuck would we not, you know, be doing the obvious thing, which would be in this situation, if the first thing you would do is figure out, okay, let's come up with a foolproof way to control meteors.
00:44:51.000And not only that, a lot of these asteroids that they're picking up, they're coming in from amateur astronomers, like a good percentage of them.
00:44:59.000Oh yeah, I know, but that- There's not that many professionals watching the sky.
00:45:03.000Well, this is the whole thing where they say like one month of, you know, we stopped one month of war in Afghanistan.
00:45:21.000So in the same way, if you consider that, you know what I mean?
00:45:24.000I'm saying as a species, our priorities are a little weird.
00:45:28.000And as an individual, you know, people in the same way, they spend most of their time ignoring the fact that there's a subjective meteor that's guaranteed going to smash into your life at some point, which is old age, disease, and death.
00:46:12.000Just find out what the yearly military budget is, you know?
00:46:15.000It's like, look, this is the fucking thing that Neil deGrasse Tyson posts, which is like the picture of the meteor or whatever, and this is why we need to work, you know?
00:46:24.000This is why we need to work on the space program.
00:47:05.000It can't be done as long as we're confused as a species into thinking that there are – Religions that are more important than religions or countries that are more important than other countries or people that are more important than other people.
00:47:17.000As long as we're stuck in that modality, well, then we're never going to fucking wake up to the fact that we have to shift, you know?
00:47:24.000And it's saying this stuff, you know, suddenly you sound like you're singing goddamn a John Lennon song, but it's like...
00:49:17.000No one ever finds out they were just homeless, just losers, shitting on themselves, sucking dick for homemade wine.
00:49:23.000Oh man, that would be so fucking great to be able to like remember all those things.
00:49:30.000It'd be so great just to know, you know, in the way they can do your DNA tests and they're like, whoa, you're like, you know, partially Scottish and there's some Native American in there.
00:49:39.000It'd be so cool to like analyze all your particles and be like, oh yes, 4% of you came from the Alpha Centauri star cluster and the other 2% came from the Alpha Centauri star cluster.
00:51:13.000And that computers will be so powerful that from seeing what exists now and knowing the amount of time the Earth has existed, the computer will be able to paint you an incredibly accurate, absolute simulation of every single action in its form,
00:51:31.000including whatever words you said, to a girlfriend when you were pissed about that it's all just one gigantic equation every time you hit your horn at a red light every time you said fuck yeah when highway to hell came on all those things You could literally know everything that happened based on everything that exists.
00:52:11.000There's these things that they're coming up with and they're almost like the size of a large grain of sand or smaller than a grain of rice.
00:52:21.000And they can take photographs, video, they can send images, Wi-Fi wirelessly.
00:52:27.000They can also have a GPS locator that tells you exactly where they are.
00:52:31.000So essentially you can have a data bank of cameras with dust.
00:53:08.000We can tell you how many acres something is.
00:53:11.000We can tell you we can do a radio frequency test or whatever the fuck they do to find out what's in the ground, what the soil's made out of.
00:53:19.000We can get a pretty rough account of what we've got around us.
00:53:23.000Well, if they can get to a point where they can literally tell you everything that exists and have it calculated, Everything that exists in this form on Earth right now and know how long and know what we know about human history and put it all into account and be able to actually see a recreation of everything that's ever happened.
00:53:42.000Here's the thing that the one little piece you're missing here, it's so funny you're saying this because I got super stoned in Vancouver and started thinking about something like this, but here's the thing you're missing.
00:53:53.000But you know what that is you just described?
00:53:55.000That's a fucking time machine when you add one more component to it, which is a neurological interface that instead of it like you watching, it places you inside of the recreation.
00:54:04.000So now you're able to zoom backwards through this like simulated past reality based on like, well, if this happened before this, we can figure out what happened before that.
00:54:14.000And there was – there would be a kind of rate of entropy too based on like the further back you got, the less accurate your prediction of things that happened would be it seems like.
00:54:25.000You wouldn't be – I don't think you'd be able to perfectly … Yeah, you wouldn't be able to do smell because there's no smell technology that would know all the kinds of smell like apple pie and stuff like that.
00:54:47.000The Big Island is actually the least populated.
00:54:50.000It's less populated than Oahu or Maui.
00:54:53.000But a big one half of a side of it is all lava fields.
00:54:58.000It's all just like you know that that fucking thing exploded like recently like within the last who knows how many hundred years whatever and there's lava like rock all over the place if you could you could accurately say okay well this lava has been around for 150 years and before that it was pastures and they actually have photos of it you know you could have like the locals describe what happened when in 1820 the lava came over the top and covered the town we can get sort of a pretty decent picture Based on stuff
00:55:44.000And the idea that they could, you know, what they're doing with the Human Genome Project, somehow they finally pull that off with the human brain.
00:55:50.000So that you could start doing brain scans and gather people's memories together.
00:55:56.000So then what you end up having is instead of just having these particulates that scan the geographical makeup of the planet, you also have somehow the ability to absorb the memories and the actual memories of human beings.
00:56:13.000Could you imagine though if somebody else had to go and access your memories?
00:56:18.000You'd be like, what the fuck am I looking at?
00:56:21.000Like, it's just like blurry legs and, you know, some girl's butt where she shows it to you.
00:56:29.000You know, a TV show that you barely can remember the plot.
00:56:33.000I mean, how fucking accurate is your memory?
00:56:36.000I mean, the idea of tapping into your memories and then putting it on, you'd be watching like the most retarded animated GIF file ever.
00:56:56.000That's an existential idea, which is this idea of our actual lives, when you consider your POV, are so the opposite of movies and so the opposite of the construct of some beginning and some ending and some middle place.
00:57:10.000It really is just this blur of, like, coffee's going in the mouth.
00:58:03.000Especially when you're under stressful situations, who knows what the fuck you're seeing, what you remember.
00:58:08.000I think a lot of these Bigfoot sightings and wild animal sightings, I bet there's a lot to that as well.
00:58:17.000I think when you're in a stressful situation, something freaks you out, whether it's a bear or something, all of a sudden that bear becomes Bigfoot.
00:58:23.000The bear runs off, and you're like, it was fucking Bigfoot, man.
01:00:42.000We could really, we could whip, I bet if all of humanity just started working on it right now, together, we could whip up a spaceship that would probably travel, I bet we could have a light speed traveling spaceship in 10 years.
01:00:55.000I think one of the reasons why this podcast resonates so much with people is the conversations that we have sometimes where this is not an alien way of thinking.
01:01:07.000This is a really smart way of thinking.
01:03:33.000The latest theory involves a premature frost.
01:03:39.000They were growing wheat, apparently, and when they have a frost, when the plants freeze and then thaw out, sometimes they get weird funguses.
01:03:50.000This one, they did some soil samples and they found that there was Sometime around that area, where they were doing the Salem witch trials, they had early frost.
01:04:05.000I think they found evidence of this stuff, this ergot stuff.
01:04:20.000I mean, scientifically it all lines up because they know that it's happened before, that people have gotten wheat that's been poisoned by it and they've gotten sick and they've had hallucinations.
01:04:32.000So if you've got a whole country or a whole city that's eating the wheat for who knows how long that's filled with ergot.
01:04:40.000But there's some speculation as to whether or not it would be still psychoactive after you baked it.
01:04:45.000I've seen people that disagree with it.
01:04:47.000But in my opinion, I mean, it seems to be a likely candidate.
01:04:52.000Well, there's also the thing where there was like an oppressive religious structure confusing people into thinking that there was a devil.
01:05:00.000Yeah, it could just be a high-level percolation of crazy.
01:05:02.000It could just be, let's burn witches, let's take this shit to the next level, bloop!
01:05:05.000And then, you know, we gotta blame it on something.
01:06:17.000You would get, like, on Valentine's Day, around Valentine's Day, it was called the Festival Lupercalia, and Luper was some kind of wolf god that the Romans worshipped.
01:06:25.000So what you would do is you would, as I recall, I looked it up on Wikipedia.
01:06:30.000You can look it up, guys, and you'll find a much more detailed...
01:06:56.000Ancient, possibly pre-Roman, pastoral festival observed on February 13th through 15th to avert evil spirits and purify the city, releasing health and fertility.
01:07:18.000But that's what – that preceded – that was the religion that preceded the one that is currently the dominant religion.
01:07:29.000And that old religion didn't get – they weren't just like, you know what?
01:07:33.000We're not going to worship the wolf god anymore.
01:07:35.000It was that they were getting torched.
01:07:37.000And I don't think it was based on eating like fungus.
01:07:40.000I think it was because it's two combating paradigms that don't work together at all.
01:07:47.000And I'm not saying either one is necessarily logical, but one is more based on the way the earth works and the other one is based on the way like old dudes try to control people.
01:08:02.000That's where – that's the – I mean, dude, this whole fucking pope thing – To me, it's crazy and hilarious that we even pay attention to what that clown is doing.
01:08:25.000The guy's wearing a fucking wizard outfit with a fish head hat.
01:08:29.000If you tried to do that today and tried to say, I am adorned of God, he has brought to me this information, you set up a shop, they would think you were a fucking loon.
01:08:37.000But because of the fact that it's been around for a long time, this guy has a direct lineage, we're supposed to take it seriously.
01:08:43.000We're supposed to take it seriously and we're supposed to fucking ignore all the shit Catholicism did.
01:08:57.000He brought him into psychiatric, instead of bringing in and getting him prosecuted, they brought him in for psychiatric treatment and this guy went on They went to another parish and molested more boys.
01:09:17.000They're free and they're walking around the street.
01:09:19.000Some of them are in these huge religious retreat places that they have, beautiful grounds, and these guys are just wandering around, taking care of them for the rest of their lives.
01:10:11.000You're an asshole, and you're taking their money.
01:10:13.000We've got to make sure that this stops with our generation.
01:10:18.000We've got to make sure that future generations don't They don't have a gigantic religious leader, someone who tells them based on some nutty shit that was written thousands of years ago by people who drew on animal skins.
01:10:32.000The way that looks with Catholicism is just one version of the problem.
01:10:36.000The other problem is the guy who calls – there's like – in the way there's a pope, there's also a dude who calls himself the president.
01:10:43.000But instead of representing some phantasmal force called God, he says, I represent the will of the people.
01:10:50.000Yet he doesn't really represent the will of the people.
01:10:53.000It doesn't seem like that when he goes to – when they do the polls and they – as it turns out – and I'm not just the president.
01:11:02.000The president doesn't have totalitarian power, but – I don't think that the president really represents the will of the people, and I don't think Congress represents the will of the people, and I don't think Senate represents the will of the people any more than the Pope represents the will of God.
01:11:15.000And I think it's this imaginary thing that we're supposed to believe in because it makes us feel more comfortable as though these people are really enacting the will of the people.
01:11:24.000I think the will of the people is that we want peace.
01:11:27.000We want to be able to – we do want security.
01:12:06.000This fucking – she fucking had the audacity like in front of the Libertarian Convention she said – they were asking her like, do you think gay people can get married?
01:12:17.000And she's like, yes, gay people can get married to members of the opposite sex.
01:12:29.000So anyway, what I'm saying is there's a small faction of these pigs, you know what I mean, that grab this spotlight and produce this illusion.
01:12:37.000And certainly one of the great illusions is the idea that the pope represents God, governments represent the people.
01:12:48.000What we have happening on this planet is dramatic cases of misrepresentation coming from a small minority of people who've managed to grab power.
01:12:58.000And this creates an illusion that people try to live by.
01:13:00.000And the reason everything's all fucked up is because it's not based on what's really happening.
01:13:05.000Yeah, and I believe that's one of the reasons why government likes to keep religion in positions of power and keep them tax-free.
01:13:12.000Because it helps when people are in big groups.
01:13:15.000It helps when people are already indoctrinated to the rules of the group, because then you're more likely to be a person who listens to rules.
01:13:23.000The real issue with absolving all religion is not the denial of the existence of God, but the denial of man's knowledge of exactly what God is, who God is, what God wants, And instead, all you can do is base it on the wisdom of ancient teachings that we know to be true today.
01:13:59.000Why am I a dickhead in this other life?
01:14:00.000But if you think about some of the things that people associate with religion, the ideas, the good ideas of charity and love and family, the values of virtue in your ethics and the way you think of your fellow citizens,
01:14:19.000your fellow humans that you're in this colony with, Those are all really super positive for the most part.
01:14:24.000It's mixed in with a lot of scare tactics and fear and nonsense and who knows when that was all added.
01:16:41.000I mean, we literally are in the middle of not just a process, but like a journey...
01:16:46.000A process of constant reevaluation and ingenuity and innovation where this technology that we're surrounded by is increasing in its power and ability like tenfold every couple years.
01:16:58.000Like these crazy quantum levels where they're coming up with quantum computing and they're talking about the ability to put Google glasses on and communicate with the fucking world all at the same time.
01:17:11.000This time that we're at right now, it's almost as if We picked the perfect spot for the most action.
01:17:21.000Like, the perfect spot for, like, the birth and emergence of technology into the forefront of mankind.
01:17:29.000Well, you know, a lot of New Agers, you know, say that the reason that the Earth is so populated right now is because so many different beings from infinity, from the multiverse, are wanting to incarnate right now because it's such an exciting thing that's happening to the planet.
01:20:06.000But the conservatism that we think of from like the 1950s, well, that was in response to the fact that Hitler had just come along and World War II came along and our grandparents had to fight the Nazis.
01:20:18.000You know, my grandfather worked in a plant that made a part for the atomic bomb.
01:20:22.000That was like always the big thing that everybody would brag around the house.
01:20:25.000You know, Grandpa makes a part in his factory that is for the atomic bomb.
01:20:31.000You know, so the conservatism that I think that came in the 1950s, the fear, the McCarthy era, when everybody's like, you're communists!
01:21:12.000There was like a wild frenzy to stop the drugs and to stop communism and to stop any hippie bullshit and put more power back to the government.
01:21:23.000Well, that's the thing I've been thinking, dude, is that I think that there's basically two religions in the world.
01:21:31.000And that one religion is a religion...
01:21:35.000Religion's probably the wrong word for it.
01:21:37.000When I got cancer, you know, my mom's dying.
01:21:42.000And all the turbulence, man, like behind it, this is what's crazy about really severe, catastrophic things happening in your life, is like...
01:21:54.000And why they call it an apocalypse, personal apocalypse, and why apocalypse means lifting of the veil, you know?
01:21:59.000It's like you see this fucking thing behind all the turbulence.
01:22:40.000What you feel is that you're caught up in the idea of this small loop being the big picture.
01:22:48.000That this small loop represents your reality and it's so important to you because you have loved ones and because you have car payments and because you have a job that you enjoy.
01:23:51.000We don't know where the fuck they went.
01:23:54.000And they can measure it, but they don't know what it means.
01:23:57.000And so I feel like it's probably got to be that with just life in general and everything, consciousness in general.
01:24:08.000I think we're clinging on to this one particular consciousness and this one particular moment in time because I think the human race Is here to do something.
01:24:20.000I think we're a part of a process like bees making honey or ants making an anthill and that all of our wackiness, whether it's ego or sexuality or the need to conquer, whatever these things are, they're all a part of this gigantic calculation to bring us technologically to the next level.
01:24:40.000Whether it's because we're worried about the other guys doing it first, whether it's because – and that's how the movement represents itself.
01:24:49.000It represents itself through the fear of military conquest by the others, so we have to hit this technological superiority first, sort of like the moon race.
01:24:57.000Whatever the fuck it is, when I look at the idea of our inability to grasp what we're doing and our continued movement in the same crazy direction, especially when it comes to war and the lack of respect people have for poor people and the lower classes and the lack of resources that are put into raising them back up,
01:25:21.000I almost look at it like it's natural.
01:25:24.000If you look at every other animal's behavior, whether it's wolves and the alpha beta representatives in the wolf pack and the way they have their social world structured, even if it's cruel, we see bears eat their cubs, we understand that this is nature.
01:25:41.000Bears, one of their favorite things to do, grizzlies, they get up earlier before the females do in the spring, and they go and hunt for baby bears.
01:25:48.000They go into the dens on purpose to eat the babies.
01:28:04.000I drank a big kombucha before Whole Foods started getting the new kombuchas in again.
01:28:09.000Do you know that a kombucha tea, like when you get it like GT's kombucha or Synergy, it was like more than one half of 1% alcohol, so you had to be over 21 to buy it.
01:28:20.000And you still have to be over 21 to buy it.
01:28:22.000But they just got it back on the shelves.
01:28:24.000They had a diluted form of it, which is still healthy.
01:28:27.000The kombucha is still good, but it's not as good as the true fermented live culture.
01:31:27.000You say they're nasty, but they're so good for you, man, and I can't tell you how many people that I've run into at these shows that, like, this one dude in Anaheim this weekend, he said that he lost 200 fucking pounds.
01:31:38.000He showed me a picture of him standing next to Dan Henderson, and he was like, where is it, Ben Henderson?
01:33:41.000Then he goes on the Jamie Foxx show and he's black.
01:33:43.000And it's not really like he sounds black.
01:33:45.000He sounds like an old white guy trying to talk black.
01:33:48.000And he's talking black to, you know...
01:33:51.000Listen, you want to talk about black dudes who are bad motherfuckers, okay?
01:33:58.000Then there's, obviously, in pop culture, in athletics, there's been many, many African Americans that have pulled off some staggering shit.
01:34:48.000So, Quentin Tarantino, in the face of hanging around with this Uberman, this guy who's accomplished so much, this This freak success story in the history of the African American race that he morphs into a black guy when he's talking to him.
01:39:38.000So like you go there and they show all these old grindhouse films and stuff and like it's just badass and like it's not a profitable place.
01:39:46.000He just does it because he doesn't want digital to take over, which it is, which is going to happen.
01:39:50.000Well, it's going to happen anyway, but it's still cool just to have it.
01:39:53.000Like that Silent Theater, is that still open?
01:40:17.000It's just a regular movie, like Top Gun.
01:40:19.000And then they just sit there and pretty much comment on it.
01:40:21.000Well, you know, that was also an issue, a Quentin Tarantino issue, was Roger Avery apparently was the guy who wrote that whole Top Gun gay connection thing that was like Roger Avery's baby, and Quentin Tarantino did it in a movie.
01:40:33.000Yeah, he was in a movie, and he like chameleoned Roger Avery and told the whole Top Gun story, it being like sort of a gay love story and what it really represents.
01:41:22.000So Roger Avery, who created that, and also co-wrote Pulp Fiction with Tarantino.
01:41:28.000And you can see, like, when you see, like, Killing Zoe, and when you read some of his, he was the one who got in trouble for tweeting when he was in jail.
01:47:17.000And so it showed pixels, so pixels were coming at you, but it knew the floor was there, so the pixels would kind of ride the floor and stuff like that.
01:48:12.000What I'm gonna do is give you the headset.
01:48:18.000If you were standing, you would have your body, your brain just naturally just tell you to start walking.
01:48:25.000You know what would be a really good thing?
01:48:27.000Like put this on someone's head and then like inside of like a train tunnel and have them walk towards the light and come out into the world.
01:49:47.000Well, yeah, they've had it for a while.
01:49:49.000They just haven't had the consumer-based one, you know?
01:49:51.000And they've got to like – the other interesting thing in one of the other interviews I saw is they're talking about when they're releasing it.
01:49:56.000And they say obviously they can't release it until people design games for it.
01:50:00.000And it's not as simple as just plugging it into a game because the size ratios are off in a game.
01:50:07.000The characters running around in the game are either bigger than a human would be or generally smaller than a human would be.
01:50:13.000So for it to really work, you've got to design the thing around an actual human size.
01:50:32.000You remember when we were hanging out with Cliffy B, and it was getting close to the release of one of their games, and they said they would just sleep in the office?
01:50:38.000They would just sleep in the office and work for weeks at a time.
01:50:41.000And loved ones would come and visit them at work.
01:52:05.000And so you stay inside this building and you live in a reality totally created for this building.
01:52:10.000Or you just plug some shit into the back of your brain stem that makes you feel like you're moving and gradually just transform into a big fat lard.
01:52:18.000Yeah, and the other problem was if you had a warehouse, the real problem would be the only things that you would come in contact with are things that are touching the floor.
01:52:28.000You couldn't really come in contact with anything physical in a virtual reality sense unless you're dealing with some sort of recreated neural impulse, right?
01:52:42.000I mean, you can't, you either, you would either have to have someone in like, there's a ball, a virtual reality ball thing you can roll and I've seen it.
01:52:48.000But you either have to have something like that or you would have to simulate a sense of movement.
01:52:52.000Or you'd have to have your brain, your body convinced that it's actually touching a tree so it feels a tree.
01:54:25.000I don't know if that works, but I know that there's a woman who had a disease where she constantly orgasmed and she wanted to kill herself.
01:55:22.000If you have the same release every time.
01:55:23.000This is something I always thought is, of course, yeah, like if there was like an orgasm pill where you're taking, you have a nine-hour orgasm.
01:55:30.000But this woman made me think that, shit, maybe that's not, wouldn't that?
01:56:18.000Maybe somebody out there on the internet can help us figure this out.
01:56:22.000But based on the size of individual sperm, how big would a giant have to be to shoot a load where you could see the sperm swimming inside of it?
01:57:02.000I wanted to go back to that aspartame thing, because I'm looking at aspartame, and when you look on the Wikipedia, it doesn't seem like it's that dangerous.
01:57:11.000Well, I mean, if it was slightly dangerous, I would be in Coke Zero, you know?
01:57:16.000Well, yeah, you gotta wonder, like, how many fucking people are taking it.
01:57:28.000She was addicted to Diet Coke and there's no correlation, no connection.
01:57:31.000I mean, except for the fact that she drank, she was one of those people who was addicted to Diet Coke and drank boatloads of it.
01:57:38.000No, I'm not saying there's a correlation.
01:57:40.000She could have been super, super unhealthy in all sorts of ways anyway.
01:57:44.000Yeah, there's just something… It's never been proven.
01:57:46.000It's never been proven, but there is – I think there is like a – some people do think that Diet Coke, like you just said, causes cancer.
01:57:58.000It was like her – she would have like something – some ridiculous amount like 15 a day or 20 a day, like more than you should ever have.
02:02:13.000And I think that that thing, you don't need a leader.
02:02:16.000You don't need someone to tell you what that thing's saying to you.
02:02:19.000It's your own relationship with that thing and how closely you can approximate what that thing is saying that defines your level of happiness.
02:02:27.000In this incarnation and there's there's people like that who falsely represent that thing who don't you've never really experienced it and that's why it seems like bullshit and Yeah, it seems like bullshit to everybody who hasn't experienced it.
02:02:40.000And when you run into extremely angry people that just have pitfall after pitfall in their life and miserable experience after miserable experience, you realize that they're just so far separated from the frequency of happiness.
02:02:58.000And that sounds like some hippie bullshit.
02:03:02.000Hey man, some people just live in an economic downturn where there's a shitty economy where they live and there's no jobs and they were born ugly so they're fucked.
02:03:16.000In that same environment and they have great friends and wonderful experiences with their loved ones and they're not constantly embroiled in bullshit because they've figured out a way to orchestrate their environment.
02:03:26.000And that's one thing that we somehow or another are sort of responsible for doing.
02:04:48.000Whatever the thing is, if you plug into that underlying thing, fuck.
02:04:52.000It's a beautiful, beautiful place and it's a very subversive idea, the idea that everything is OK and that behind everything is just this field of – Just the happiness frequency.
02:05:04.000But there's that stuck feeling and that's the hardest thing to overcome in life when you've started out in a certain direction and you've gotten fairly far in your life but you're really miserable and you have a lot of obligations and you have a lot of expectations and bills and a lot of issues that keep you in this certain shitty environment and people don't know how to manage that and I think that's why one of the most important things to stress Is get off on the right track as quickly as you can
02:06:02.000There's so many people that have lived their life for other people and they're miserable.
02:06:06.000I've never met an ecstatic son of the owner of a business who runs the business with his father.
02:06:12.000I always see a man who probably would rather have carved his own path in life and is just caught up in the wake of another man because that other man raised him.
02:06:21.000But you see a guy who runs his own joint and they're fucking happy and they have zest and Whatever they're doing, whether they run a pizza place.
02:07:11.000There are escape clauses and fucking parachute plans and, well, I can always pull out if this doesn't work and I gotta back up here and then I gotta back up there.
02:07:23.000Man, you better not back up too much, but you gotta travel light.
02:08:24.000And maybe making like, if I jumped right when you said that, it might not have been the greatest time.
02:08:30.000You do have to have a little bit of strategy involved in it.
02:08:32.000But yeah, there is where you are right now, and there is where you want to be, and the distance between those two things will create a vertigo.
02:08:42.000Well, you had the most important thing.
02:08:43.000Which is the thing that you wanted to do, you were good at.
02:08:46.000You wanted to be a comedian, you were funny.
02:09:28.000Because I'm concentrating on it, because I've worked at it for a couple of decades.
02:09:32.000And I think that as long as you recognize that that's what happens, that as long as you live your life the way we were talking earlier, the right way, without too much bullshit and distractions, Too many negative karmic moments that flood you with regret and fuck with your creativity.
02:09:49.000That's one of the most important things about being creative.
02:09:53.000One of the most important things for me is being nice.
02:09:55.000When I'm like as nice to as many people as I can and I'm as easy-going as possible and as forgiving as possible, I am the most happy.
02:10:05.000I'm my most happiest when I'm dealing with people and like being forgiving and being friendly.
02:10:11.000And then I have less shit on my mind And then I can tune in to creativity.
02:10:16.000Because I don't understand exactly where my creativity comes from.
02:10:21.000But in a lifetime of trying to figure out what frequency I tune into when I do my best.
02:10:31.000Whether it's drawing, or whether it's writing, or anything creative.
02:10:35.000For me, I have to have all these ducks in a row.
02:11:10.000Now, if everything is cool, then I can go to work.
02:11:13.000But if everything's not cool, I have to figure out what the fuck's not cool and fix that.
02:11:17.000And if I don't fix that, it'll be bumpy.
02:11:20.000The whole thing will be me trying to duct tape this fucking ship together while it reenters orbit and fucking keep everything from falling apart.
02:11:27.000But as long as you give yourself an honest assessment of how you're thinking and how you're interacting with the world, That's where it gets fucking hard to do.
02:11:38.000It's hard to take that first step and give yourself an honest look at yourself.
02:11:44.000And then once you do that, then it has to sort of become an ethic.
02:11:48.000And you gotta welcome it when other people do it, too.
02:12:26.000You know, it's like you don't even know sometimes when you're saying things.
02:12:29.000But when someone calls you out on that, it's probably good for you.
02:12:34.000It's not good for them, because a lot of times haters get fucking completely worked.
02:12:38.000I hope you suck to death on a million dicks and you drown in a world of semen and AIDS. These are the people that get completely ridiculous with their hate.
02:12:51.000When you look at what a hater is, there's no successful haters.
02:12:54.000There's no, like, Bill Clinton's not fucking commenting on YouTube videos, fucking queer, you know?
02:12:59.000No one who actually accomplished anything is a hater, but being a hater is important for people that are trying to accomplish things.
02:13:09.000Having critics and hate can actually help you and fuel you and make you aware of the broad spectrum of human behavior, especially in a void of love and absence of the correct.
02:13:22.000You don't lash out like that unless you are in an absence.
02:13:26.000Unless you have an absence of love An absence of personal pride and accomplishment.
02:15:24.000As you're writing those things, you chose it above any self-improvement you were doing, any creative work you were doing, any business work you were doing, any personal emails you got to get out.
02:15:53.000If it's funny, you're not going to have 50. You know what I mean?
02:15:55.000If it's funny, you want to have 50. But it's like, when you go and look, and not only has the person just insulted you, there's an insult to like, weird, to fucking, yeah, just like Anderson Cooper.
02:16:06.000I've seen these texts to Bieber dudes who say they want to kick Bieber's ass.
02:16:17.000They'll get you locked in on an argument and then you go back and forth.
02:16:22.000One of them I thought was really hilarious was there's a woman who's a comedy writer and she got in an online Twitter feud with Chris Brown.
02:17:58.000The moment that dum-dum responded to her, she must have done a fucking tap dance.
02:18:01.000I wonder because I would think that if there's a guy who's like really violent and you're a woman, I would think just the fact that that guy knows who you are, you can't defend yourself if you ever ran into him.
02:18:13.000You don't think if Chris Brown, if she said a bunch of mean shit about him and he saw her somewhere, he might palm her face or push her out of his face.
02:18:25.000In her mind, she has to realize that if she ran into that guy and no one was there to protect her and there was no security cameras, there was no witnesses, he might do something to her.
02:18:42.000You start fucking with a guy like that that beat up his girlfriend, In her head, she has to know that if her husband isn't there or some...
02:18:48.000Maybe if her husband isn't there, I don't know who her husband is.
02:19:03.000I hope I don't get attacked by Chris Brown.
02:19:06.000You get in an argument with him on Twitter.
02:19:08.000Dude, I got 99 problems and Chris Brown ain't one.
02:19:11.000Well, you're not arguing with him on Twitter where you're a woman and he wants to kick your ass.
02:19:15.000I'm not saying he wanted to kick her ass, but I'm saying if you know a man has already beat up a woman and then she's now locked in online in this verbal insult battle back and forth.
02:19:25.000He's saying he's going to fart in her mouth.
02:19:27.000He's saying he's going to jerk off on her and fart in her mouth and stuff like crazy shit.
02:19:34.000To be a chick, that's got to be a little fucking weird.
02:19:37.000What about the Black Keys drummer and Justin Bieber?
02:19:41.000Yeah, Patrick Carney did a thing where he said something like, Justin Bieber doesn't deserve an Emmy or something along those lines, and the Bieber fans went after him.
02:19:51.000So he just starts retweeting all of their stuff with hilarious answers.
02:22:05.000Gretchen Malan suffers from persistent genital arousal disorder, a rare condition that makes her physically but not psychologically aroused all the time.
02:22:14.000Doctors do not agree on what causes it, but they do agree on how debilitating it can be.
02:22:19.000Gretchen, who lives in Spring Hill, says she can't work.
02:22:22.000She has tried to get disability income twice and failed each time.
02:24:20.000A group of people hanging out that enjoy each other's company and that are all sort of like-minded and, you know, honest about life and sort of trying to get through it together.
