On this episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the boys are joined by the one and only Brian Redman. The boys talk about the first time they met each other, the worst con job they've ever done, and how they're going to win $2.5 million in the Mega Millions sweepstakes. They also talk about how much money they've won in the sweepstakes and why they don't like the idea of being blocked on the phone. And of course, there's a special guest appearance from their good friend, Brian's sister, Cara Santa Maria. Also, the guys talk about what it's like to be a rock star on the road with a band like the Redman's and how it's not as bad as it looks on the outside. The boys also discuss how to win a million dollars in the biggest sweepstakes in the world. And they talk about some of the craziest things that have happened to them in the past 24 hours.

00:01:02.000Do you not like it, Brian Callen, when people give away your phone number and you get a phone call and it's like blocked and you pick it up at some goofball wanting to talk to you and you're like...
00:01:11.000Well, when Jimmy Burke gave out my number on your podcast, I got like 15 calls.
00:01:16.000But it's funny because the guys have all been really cool.
00:01:18.000I was like, look, don't abuse my number.
00:01:21.000They'd be drunk like, hey, Brian Callen, what the fuck, man?
00:03:59.000That he knew a dude that thought, I think it was Ari, knew a dude that thought he won some crazy prize like this because he got scammed by these Nigerian guys and he started getting really cunty.
00:05:08.000They'd do something like give you money...
00:05:10.000And then you would give them legit money or something, whatever it was.
00:05:13.000There were a lot of different things that they would do.
00:05:15.000And you'd get home with this money in some cases, and I can't remember the exact story, but the money was a fake dye that would wear off like in the movies, you know?
00:05:24.000Like it was some kind of a fake, I don't know, I have no idea, but it was just, they'd realize that they were white, that they had been scammed of a million dollars and jump out a fucking window.
00:08:14.000They're tablets and phones all in one.
00:08:16.000One of my first memories of you, one of the first times we ever hung out, is I came out to see you, and I had no idea you were such a tech nerd.
00:08:23.000You got this fighter, this guy I talked to.
00:10:38.000You have two separate video cards, and they link together through this computer cable, and it doubles your bandwidth as far as your ability to...
00:11:10.000Yeah, but the trackball is just not quite as accurate.
00:11:13.000There were some guys that were really good with that controller, but the thing was about that controller, it was very controversial because if you learned how to use that controller, then you wouldn't be good at the mouse and the keyboard.
00:11:24.000Which was widely accepted by almost everybody to be the most accurate way.
00:11:27.000Some guys got really good at using the controller, but they were still fucking themselves by not just going with a mouse and a keyboard.
00:11:32.000Would you do a live Quake match in front of an audience versus Kevin Pereira?
00:11:57.000Yeah, because you're playing in these 3D games where you're running down hallways, you have a variety of weapons on you, and you're chasing motherfuckers, trying to kill them, and when you kill them, they splatter.
00:12:08.000You're shooting rockets at them, and it's all in real time, and the graphics are amazing.
00:12:13.000And you're seeing it through a first-person perspective.
00:12:15.000Either you're seeing a gun in front of you or you're seeing crosshairs in front of you.
00:12:35.000But I played some really good guys and just got slaughtered.
00:12:38.000When I was doing Ride Along, that movie I shot in Atlanta with Ice Cube and Kevin Hart, I would go into Kevin Hart's trailer all the time because we would just hang out and he's hilarious.
00:12:52.000And he and his buddies would be taking that Madden basketball game so fucking seriously, like serious, like serious, like real competition, real games.
00:13:04.000And get pissed off at each other if they lost.
00:15:03.000And when you see a company that has, you know, that that's how they're operating their business, it makes you feel good about being connected to them.
00:15:10.000It makes you feel good about what message they're projecting.
00:15:15.000I was thinking about that, like the ethical, you know, I just got sponsored too by Ting.
00:15:35.000If you get sponsored by somebody who wants to offer you a lot of money, say your podcast becomes huge, and sometimes companies can become so big and you're not sure where their interests are or what they're doing, it really does kind of raise some questions.
00:15:48.000I don't want to be responsible for supporting or shelling a company that doesn't have ethical practices.
00:16:33.000McDonald's says that they never treat anybody like a hamburger, meaning, so you go and say, I don't like my hamburger, they'll give you a free one.
00:17:31.000Go to rogan.ting.com, save yourself some money.
00:17:34.000Also, we're brought to you by Squarespace, and Squarespace is one of our newer sponsors.
00:17:40.000If you've never been and don't know what it is, Squarespace is an all-in-one, inclusive platform online for the average, regular, everyday schmo like you or me, son, to go and create their own website.
00:23:49.000I think it's interesting that you're advertising things.
00:23:51.000I just wanted to say to your fans, if you guys like to laugh, I don't know if any of you out there are Wait, are you doing a show anywhere, Brian Cannon?
00:25:21.000Look, it needs to be given away to some people.
00:25:23.000That shit is just too cool not to have.
00:25:25.000It looks like a chimp biting off your dick.
00:25:27.000That is the chimp biting off your dick face.
00:25:29.000And you know what you should do for motivation, for motivation in your workouts, you know, you could hold the kettlebells like that, looking at the chimp and then drop it down to your dick and then push away.
00:25:41.000Drop it down to your dick and then push away.
00:25:43.000It could be the new kettlebell routine.
00:25:46.000Like the chimp bite your dick kip-ups or something.
00:25:51.000I just read a book called Our Inner Ape and he talks about how we're a bipolar ape and he compares us to chimps and gorillas.
00:25:57.000But one of the things is they used to – they had a circus of a thing where they had a chimp that they muzzled and they took strong men and tried to control that chimp, tried to like wrestle with it.
00:26:41.000We start selling those now and Chin Up bars and all kinds of different fitness shit.
00:26:45.000And of course, a lot of great fitness supplements including Hemp Force, the delicious and nutritious hemp protein supplement that has raw maca and raw cocoa and maca.
00:26:59.000And it's sweetened with stevia so there's very little sugar.
00:27:03.000There's only one gram of sugar in a full serving.
00:27:07.000And we have to get it from Canada, because our cunty twatbag government says it's illegal to grow the non-psychoactive version of this marijuana.
00:27:16.000You can't grow it, so these silly bitches.
00:36:21.000He was in the crowd on a Tuesday night, and Dom Herrera gets on stage, and Justin's up there, and he goes, Justin, it must have been really hard for you before you made it, that one tough year when you were like 14. It was fucking great.
00:37:41.000He was like my favorite comedian for like six months.
00:37:42.000It's incredible when you see somebody who's that good at something.
00:37:45.000You see stand-up for the first time and you have maybe designs on...
00:37:49.000I just did this interview just now today for the San Antonio thing and I literally said to the guy, I said, I still can't believe I can do stand-up.
00:38:19.000I was a silly goose always, as you know.
00:38:21.000But I remember Patty Jenkins, my old girlfriend, the director, said, Brian, I made a speech or something at a wedding or something, and I was funny.
00:38:32.000She said, I got three words for you, dude.
00:38:50.000And I was like, I can't do this, but I went home and wrote a monologue on what it's like to be reborn a penguin, a legless, flightless bird in the middle of the South Pole.
00:38:57.000And I was like, that's kind of a funny idea, concept, but I don't know.
00:39:00.000And I wrote it and then I came up to my friends that night and I said, Hey, I heard this comic doing these jokes and I pretended it was somebody else and they laughed.
00:39:09.000And that's slowly how I built the set.
00:39:44.000When I met you, you were doing comedy a little bit, but you had gotten into the door.
00:39:49.000And I don't blame anybody for this, but there's an attitude that exists, or at least it used to, when you got a series or got some sort of a sitcom.
00:41:42.000And I don't know how you are when you're creating material, but when I'm creating material, I don't even know where the fuck it's coming from.
00:41:51.000That's that beautiful notion that you're a channel for something that already exists.
00:41:55.000Well, I think it's because the only way to truly use your creativity correctly is to take your sense of you out of the equation.
00:42:02.000So it's not really that you're tapping into a muse, per se, as to take you out of the equation allows all the creativity to sort of appear and unfold.
00:42:26.000And when you say ego, a lot of that – and for young people, let me get specific and I think a lot of it is we all define ourselves on very strong lines.
00:42:36.000Men, especially in this society, are told to define yourself along strong lines.
00:44:03.000There's always got to be someone stronger.
00:44:05.000But that kind of brings me to my point, which is the idea that there's not a real difference in some ways between me and Schaub or somebody who's really big in the sense that, yes, they're stronger, but we're all compared to somebody else.
00:44:19.000We're all kind of like, depending on what context you're standing in, I'm stronger than this guy over here.
00:44:28.000Well, I was just thinking about how we try to kind of aim for certain things.
00:44:34.000Yeah, but you're 45. No, I'm not talking about that.
00:44:37.000You're 46. I'm using it as an example.
00:44:38.000I'm just using it as an example of anything you do.
00:44:40.000Like if you're a musician and you want to play like that guy, I'm just saying that the only thing that matters is that is a false way of going about things.
00:45:16.000Your ego, even though you feel like it's a part of you and you feel like it's good to have it protect you so you'll bullshit yourself about things, it's super important to know when you fuck up and not be in denial.
00:45:28.000Because when you're in denial, it sets you back.
00:45:37.000Because it's like you're a different person depending on when I catch you.
00:45:41.000You're a different person depending on what time of the day and what happened to you recently or what bad thing has gone down in your life.
00:45:50.000You're a different person every minute of every day, 365 days a year sometimes.
00:47:31.000And if you do something like this, comics that were really big at one point in time and they sort of stopped delivering comedy, they stopped making new specials, and people sort of gave up on them because they don't really talk about them that much anymore because they're not getting material from them on a regular basis.
00:48:23.000I'm trying to find out how to do it the right way.
00:48:27.000And I'll learn along the way through trial and error and from my own feelings of being too verbose or too clunky or whatever the fuck it is.
00:48:36.000So in that way, in doing it like that, like, You're never in the equation.
00:48:40.000The equation is always the impact of the material.
00:48:44.000What is the best way I can do to make this funny?
00:48:46.000If I'm experiencing this myself, what is the best way to do it?
00:49:37.000You're saying something really interesting because I remember Lawrence Olivier was a famous actor and he'd done this production of, you know, King Othello or something like that.
00:49:46.000And he was amazing and everybody came back and said, it was the most incredible performance and he was in a really dark mood.
00:50:44.000When things are live, it's a different experience.
00:50:47.000Do you remember in the Book of Five Rings when Miyamoto Masashi says, practice something enough so that the thing of itself reveals itself?
00:50:53.000The spirit of the thing reveals itself?
00:51:20.000The spirit of a thing is finding how to control the body and to get it all online where you run up and do that perfect three-point Foul shot.
00:51:33.000Did you ever see that video of that autistic kid that never played basketball before and they threw him in on the last game?
00:53:15.000That's another word for excellence, I think, as you speak about it, is harmony.
00:53:19.000Everything moving in the way it's supposed to.
00:53:22.000That's what it sounded like you were talking about.
00:53:23.000That's kind of like harmonizing with a frequency, man.
00:53:28.000Like getting into something and a pattern and where everything is firing the way it should.
00:53:33.000Yeah, and understanding what it really is.
00:53:37.000In Musashi talking about, it's totally applicable to stand-up comedy.
00:53:41.000Because in talking about, the more time you practice it, and the more you observe it, and the more you understand it, the more what it is reveals itself to you.
00:53:49.000And then you know how to operate and try to achieve excellence within it, whatever it is.
00:54:15.000You know, the problem with our education system, Gore Vidal was saying this, was that we don't have an education system that teaches you how to think.
00:54:53.000I mean, that's really the education that people have today.
00:54:56.000Once you get out of school, unless you're reading books on your own, where are you getting your information about the world?
00:55:01.000You're getting it from the fucking news.
00:55:03.000Well, the news doesn't really represent what's A, going on in the world, and B, it doesn't say anything about how you should be dealing with this.
00:55:10.000How you should be thinking, how we should resolve these issues.
00:55:14.000It's like this tattletale that just goes running over and tells us about all the fucked up shit that's happening in the world, but it's not a dialogue with a person.
00:55:39.000You've got to start with the notion of he was trying to teach philosophy in the sense that you better know what questions to ask throughout your life.
00:55:47.000And we should start with young people, educate young people the right way with the right questions.
00:55:52.000If you don't do that, then you've got to start with a base almost.
00:56:00.000It's almost like learning jiu-jitsu just learning moves without learning the principles behind it first.
00:56:04.000Yeah, well, it's also like learning jiu-jitsu without going over the real correct drills.
00:56:10.000Learning real live applications and the way school is set up.
00:56:18.000The way school is set up, they have X amount of thousand kids and they have to get these kids through with a basic understanding of the building blocks of our world.
00:57:19.000The Americans would get hit and a lot of times they'd go into shock.
00:57:22.000It's very dangerous when you go into shock, which is actually, you know what shock is?
00:57:25.000The panic, the lockup, adrenaline flush, overload.
00:57:28.000Yeah, but your body will take all the blood from your extremities and go right to where the wound is, like sort of like the core area and your body can shut down.
00:57:57.000And that was kind of one of the things he took back from Vietnam, because somebody said to him, you know, you've been teaching this acting class from 7 to 12 for five years.
00:58:04.000I've never seen you yawn once, not once.
00:58:06.000And he says, I don't think about myself.
00:58:11.000I learned a long time ago, even if I'm tired, it's just a form of energy.
00:58:14.000And I spent a lot of time, if I start worrying about being tired, I'll get tired.
00:58:18.000He was 55 and he just was very good at taking himself completely out of the equation.
00:58:23.000Yeah, I think that you can definitely trip yourself up with some bad behavior patterns as far as your feeling and your health and the The negativity that you see in the environment all over the place.
00:58:34.000I mean, we've all been around that one person that just complains about everything.
00:58:47.000There's a guy who, I don't want to speak out of turn, I don't know his name, but he's a writer, tried to kill himself, and he was listening to birds.
00:58:55.000And his girl was there and she was talking to him and she said, listen to the birds.
00:59:26.000You can change your belief system in some ways.
00:59:29.000Well, it's choosing whether or not you're going to be affected by all this information.
00:59:40.000A lesson in how to think and how to operate the mind.
00:59:44.000If the human mind, if the human body was just the human experience, if that was an An instrument that you had to learn to use.
00:59:54.000Think about navigating the human life with the human body and language and think about if you came from somewhere else and the human body wasn't and the human experience wasn't just a person living a life but rather was a ride.
01:00:11.000That you had to figure out how to master, how to accomplish, and that the human animal with its creative abilities, with its abilities to reach out to people, with its ability to build buildings and use electricity and all these different things, that's a vehicle.
01:00:30.000You would have intensive study For years and years and years of just trying to figure out how to go about the correct way of doing this.
01:00:40.000It would be like, you know, you'd have to figure out what is the best way to think?
01:00:44.000What is the best way, most beneficial way to you to approach every project as a person moving around in this human world with this human machine?
01:00:53.000It would be like a super complicated thing.
01:00:55.000But instead, it's just two people fucking...
01:01:42.000There's a real machine going on with society today, and that machine is the building of society, the increasing of bandwidth, the interconnectivity that's provided by technology.
01:01:55.000It's all of that, and it's all of that With this exponentially increasing momentum behind it.
01:02:23.000And the Greeks always said you go from knowledge, but you don't jump all the way to wisdom.
01:02:27.000There's an in-between place, which is correct opinion.
01:02:29.000Correct opinion comes from when you study as you're reaching for wisdom, you start to develop as the world crystallizes around you with the right teaching and stuff.
01:02:39.000You start to learn what sort of the correct way to look and reach and follow and the correct opinion is.
01:02:46.000And then you finally get to a point where you understand and can explain Why that is the correct opinion?
01:02:54.000That's life mastery in a way, but it's like what you're saying is it's it's it's we don't have a system and we try to with public education But we don't have a way or a system to really teach people how to live No,
01:03:10.000no one knows what the fuck they're doing and we the the people that we were raised by they didn't know what the fuck they're doing either I mean my parents are very nice people and My mother is with my stepdad.
01:03:24.000But they were raised by people who didn't know shit.
01:03:28.000And their parents were raised by people who didn't know shit.
01:03:32.000And this era that we're living in right now, it's like human beings are just starting to wake up and realize that we were all living in this weird sort of momentous world, this world that moves on momentum.
01:03:45.000And momentum doesn't make any sense at all.
01:03:47.000And we're all just waking up realizing that it was set up by people who didn't know what the fuck they were doing.
01:03:52.000I mean, they knew how to build buildings, they knew how to use electricity, but no one knew how to teach society how to chill the fuck out, relax, and enjoy each other.
01:04:02.000Not one fucking person, besides like Martin Luther King and a few people with some dreamy speeches, not one person emphasizes that in the role of government.
01:04:11.000Not one person is pushing, like, Can't we figure out a way that human beings are just nicer to each other?
01:04:18.000Can't we figure out a way where there's maybe a little bit less profit but also less pollution and less fucking with people and less control over the human populace?
01:04:32.000I would say though you're also dealing with the residue of most of human history.
01:04:38.000Almost all of it has been not enough to eat and dying of Oh yeah, no, it's no doubt there's been a lot of things that led us to this point, but this is also the first point.
01:04:49.000As the human beings that have the first access to this sort of information, to not be looked at like a bunch of silly fucks by the people of the future.
01:05:45.000And the people who have a problem with it, who give a shit, whether or not a couple of lesbians want to marry each other, you're an asshole.
01:06:37.000It's the desire to control other people and impose your mythology or your belief system on someone else.
01:06:42.000It's some really uncreative fucks, too, who are not thinking about how ridiculous you're going to look in the future.
01:06:48.000When they're looking back in the past, the way they looked at those idiots that thought that leeches were the best way to cure your broken leg...
01:06:56.000Those fucking people, we laugh at them today.
01:06:58.000And don't tell me about scientific applications of leeches, you fucks.
01:10:06.000The fatty acids are, I believe, I can't remember what it is, but the fatty acids literally change from like omega-3 to omega-6 or something like that.
01:10:16.000So when you eat a bison or you eat grass-fed beef, the oils are healthier and a lot of heart doctors on Dr. Oz are prescribing grass-fed beef because it helps with inflammation.
01:10:31.000It actually brings inflammation in the body down according to a lot of research.
01:10:36.000That's really interesting because I talked to a woman who was a chiropractor.
01:10:40.000We were talking about discs, you know, because I got a disc issue on my back.
01:10:43.000And she said, besides this thing called the McKenzie Protocol, which is like a series of stretches that they use to elongate the spine, she said changing the diet is very important.
01:10:53.000She recommended a bunch of different anti-inflammatories and cutting out all wheat.
01:11:01.000Believe it or not, people who are eating gluten, more and more people are sort of understanding that what you're doing is just slowly poisoning yourself with that stuff, but you can handle it.
01:12:19.000And they lived in this seriously Italian neighborhood in New Jersey.
01:12:24.000And we used to, it was almost dead by the time I got older.
01:12:28.000But when I lived with him for a bit when I first moved to New York, when I was like 23 I guess, 23 or 24, I lived with my grandfather for like a year.
01:12:36.000And he would still go buy his bread from this place in New Jersey.
01:12:41.000And there were some people that had been there from the 1950s.
01:12:44.000They'd been selling bread in this one.
01:13:39.000We had a food pantry and it would sit in this big closet like food pantry like you could walk into it.
01:13:44.000You know there's a real issue with cheese in this country and milk in that people want everything to be pasteurized and homogenized and that raw milk when it's from an excellent source It should be available to you just like raw eggs are available to you,
01:14:00.000just like raw meat, and it should be clear and obvious as to whether or not you're eating bad food.
01:14:06.000Like when you're eating a steak, okay, and if you buy a steak and the steak sits in your refrigerator for like five or six days, you don't get to it, it starts to get a little funky.
01:14:21.000And as soon as you stop that process, As soon as you step in, you're monkeying around with nature.
01:14:28.000I know it's good and I know it's helped a lot of people get through some really dark times in this world where milk, because it was homogenized and pasteurized, they could keep it longer and it fed people.
01:14:40.000But at a certain point in time, we have to realize that all that homogenization and pasteurization is not the healthy way to do it.
01:14:46.000The healthy way to do it is to eat it fresh.
01:15:16.000Raw cheese is super fucking hard to get, man.
01:15:19.000Because they want you to use homogenized and pasteurized milk.
01:15:22.000Because if it's just some Joe Blow farmer who has no access to homogenization or pasteurization just starts selling his milk and people actually like it, well, the fucking world could end.
01:15:33.000And that's why the only thing we should all be talking about is campaign finance reform.
01:15:38.000The idea that money in politics, as long as there's money in politics, you're going to have very powerful, wealthy interests controlling even what the fuck you eat.
01:15:49.000Well, yeah, and I think it's not a bad option.
01:15:52.000This is what I want to once say, because if you are in a low-income household and you're in a situation where when you buy a gallon of milk, like that gallon of milk needs to all be used.
01:16:03.000And stay and keep, yeah, so you need pasteurized milk.
01:16:06.000Right, and if it lasts for a week and a half with pasteurization, but it only lasts three days if it's raw, that fucks your family up.
01:16:59.000The answer is sort of a restructuring of how much your time is worth.
01:17:05.000Figuring out also how to find some way.
01:17:10.000The society we live in is really sort of like a really nutty game.
01:17:15.000Finding your spot in that game and finding how to exact points from that game.
01:17:21.000What you just said is finding your spots because as technology grows exponentially and our economy will start to change exponentially, you've got to figure out how to make yourself useful and traditional Labor and things is not going to be worth,
01:17:38.000and already is this case, is not going to be worth what it was when a robot can do it and stuff.
01:17:43.000So then where does a human being, where are you, what does your skill set have to be?
01:17:48.000My guess is you're going to have to constantly be taking classes and constantly be changing and constantly be keeping up with an economy that is always moving forward.
01:19:06.000Sort of, but yeah, I mean, we are always constantly improving things, and that's one of the more fascinating things about the human condition to me.
01:19:32.000It's very easy now to get everything you need as far as a visual experience or just access to information.
01:19:39.000I think to try to deny or slow down the idea that we're going to continue to pump out newer, greater, crazier shit and that you're going to continue to want it lustfully.
01:19:56.000And your attraction to it is just like your attraction to tits.
01:19:59.000It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, especially if you know you're never going to be able to touch them, but a girl with great tits can walk in the room and you just go, oh, look at those fucking things.
01:20:35.000I remember when I was with a bunch of girls, and I was like, I don't know, a long time ago, and this girl comes in, and she had eyeliner on, and she had, like, she'd drawn a line around her lips.
01:20:43.000She had this, she was like really kind of, she had high heels, and all the girls were like, ew, look at how gross she is.
01:20:50.000And I was like, that's what I call 1,000% this guy's type, you fucking, you fucking boring white chicks from Connecticut with your flat shoes and your shitty jeans.
01:21:55.000In other words, if you were just a dude and there was some guy who shows up, like, fucking Schaub shows up, like, with his shirt off, and the girls are all like, I want to have sex with that guy.
01:22:01.000And even your wife is like, I love that guy.
01:22:46.000You have a reoccurring theme where you're accepting, you're like, look, I'm not the this, I'm not the that, I'm not the this, I'm not the that, but I'm the this.
01:22:54.000You know, that's this reoccurring thing.
01:25:16.000You know, who knows why people do and don't do certain projects or some pilots go and other shows that are just terrible just stay on the air for a long period of time.
01:25:26.000It doesn't make any sense, but the process is fucking hard.
01:25:43.000It's like all these moving parts have to work.
01:25:47.000Alec Baldwin said one time, when a movie is successful, it's a fucking accident.
01:25:51.000And the reason it's an accident is there are so many moving parts that any little thing can go wrong, including the weather, including some crazy who shoots up a movie theater, including whatever it might be.
01:26:01.000And if everything isn't working perfectly, and he uses the Jim Carrey, the Ace Ventura thing.
01:30:39.000I'm offended that they stole three minutes of my time watching Jim Carrey do a guy that died 80 years ago.
01:30:45.000My belief system isn't that shoddy that you're going to say something that's going to throw me into a loop, a tizzy!
01:30:50.000Well, not only that, but because there's a reaction to that where you...
01:30:54.000You – I mean he's obviously knowing that what he's doing is sort of controversial.
01:30:58.000So in that – in like sort of accepting that, what he's doing and what he's making fun of is like so mild because it's like the fact that he's doing it at all is what's supposed to be controversial about it.
01:31:37.000But you always wonder, like a guy like Jim Carrey, who starts off his career with that sort of Ace Ventura thing, or File Marshal Bill, remember that?
01:33:45.000I think that the kind of guys who say really ridiculous, preposterous shit and offensive shit like a Gilbert Gottfried and do it on a regular basis, that's...
01:33:55.000Why is it okay for you to have a movie where you're pretending that you're a bad guy shooting cops?
01:35:53.000I mean, it must be like that for brain surgeons.
01:35:56.000Imagine if you're like some famous neurosurgeon and all of a sudden you're on a flight with another famous neurosurgeon and you're like, oh, what have you been using for techniques?
01:36:47.000And your personality informs what that rhythm is.
01:36:50.000Some guys when they do jujitsu are fucking explosive and crazy and then other guys are really passive and they lock you up when they need to.
01:36:56.000It just all depends on what your expression of the thing it is you're doing.
01:37:00.000And you can always feel and you can always tell when someone is authentic, not only because they last for a long time, but I really think human beings, if you're keyed in, we all have antenna for what's legit.
01:37:13.000We all have, like, sensitive antenna for what's...
01:37:16.000You can get fooled for a little while when you're young, but at the end of the day, you know, I think we all have a sort of a...
01:37:23.000I think if you're lying to yourself, you can get fooled fairly easily.
01:38:34.000They're really good looking, lots of money, crazy nice house, healthy, great kids, successful, and they are taking lots of antidepressants just to get out of bed because there's something fucking...
01:38:47.000And it's not a chemical thing so much for them.
01:38:49.000It's just this malaise, dissatisfaction, anxiety they're always suffering from.
01:38:54.000Well, I think it's also an example, an excellent example, of that super complicated machine being run by an incompetent driver.
01:39:02.000If it's not a chemical problem in your brain, if it's not a disease or a disorder that's giving you the wrong amount of hormones, Right.
01:39:35.000It lived in a physical form, ethereal in nature, and the universe gives you an opportunity.
01:39:40.000Hey, listen, we've got an opening down on Earth.
01:39:42.000If you want, we have a baby human available, loving household.
01:39:48.000Everyone is dedicated to the idea of taking this baby human and developing it into a full-form, functional human being, so you've got an excellent support system behind you.
01:39:57.000But you're going to have to start from scratch, okay?
01:39:59.000You're going to have no knowledge whatsoever right out of the gate.
01:40:04.000People will teach you at first, and then you're going to have to develop a voracious appetite for knowledge.
01:40:09.000All in all, it's going to take about, shit, 30 years before you even know how to fucking do anything correctly or fit in with the other people in your realm.
01:40:35.000That's a really cool theme to write a story about.
01:40:39.000You want to be gas or you want to ride this human flesh machine?
01:40:42.000It's very possible that that's what happened.
01:40:44.000This idea of the world being a simulation.
01:40:47.000Maybe it's not a simulation in a sense.
01:40:50.000Maybe the whole thing's fucking crazy and blips in and out of realities.
01:40:55.000And maybe you are some sort of gaseous soul form.
01:41:00.000In another dimension and then you live this life as a person and then you pop out on the other side and you're some other thing that's so crazy you can't even imagine it right now.
01:41:07.000Because it's not in the realm of experiences that a human can possibly experience on this earth.
01:41:12.000So much like having a crazy six gram mushroom trip, until you've done it, you can't even imagine what you're talking about here.
01:41:20.000And so when you're talking about it, you're just talking nonsense.
01:41:23.000You're just making noises with your mouth.
01:41:24.000So when we leave this and move to the next thing, if there is such a reality, it's possible that the next thing will be so fucking strange you can't even imagine.
01:41:35.000Like, instead of thinking about ourselves as this disconnected human being driving around in cars and using the internet, the next thing could be no physical body at all, but just...
01:41:49.000We're constantly connected with a tangible feeling of contact of other entities and life forms and souls and patterns.
01:41:57.000Well, that's almost like being part of the matrix, part of the internet, right?
01:42:00.000I mean if you think about – that's certainly what – I'm just listening.
01:42:04.000I'm re-listening to fucking all the Socrates and he says you're kind of imprisoned by this body, this body that kind of breaks down, this body that distracts you constantly with your appetites.
01:42:14.000With food, sex, and just pain, sleep, and all the things.
01:42:17.000And it distracts you from the work at hand, the real work, this contemplation on the truth, getting to the truth of the essence of things.
01:42:29.000It's like, if you think about it, the idea is, he says, as he was dying, he goes, look, man, I spent my whole life trying to separate myself from this physical body.
01:42:38.000Like, I treat all my appetites with quiet contempt.
01:42:40.000And he says, finally I get to be rid of this shit and just be a mind.
01:42:45.000And he was like really looking forward to it.
01:43:32.000That was Aristotle's rebuttal to Socrates.
01:43:34.000Aristotle said, yes, yes, we should try to strive to be just a mind.
01:43:38.000But by the way, watch a woman give childbirth and you tell me we're not physical fucking beings.
01:43:42.000We're physical beings with appetites and you can get yourself to a point where you feel really good physically and mentally, so why not do that?
01:43:48.000You know what I always say when it comes to Socrates?
01:44:04.000Well, one of the things that Credo always complains about is he tried to seduce him and seduce him because he was married with two kids and he could never do it.
01:44:15.000They talk about that motherfucker standing there during the war and nobody, nobody they said could withstand lack of sleep, cold and lack of food better than Socrates.
01:44:25.000Nobody can drink more wine and stay sober.
01:44:27.000And one day he stopped and he started thinking and the soldiers go, oh shit, he's on a jag, he's thinking.
01:44:32.000And they all sat there and watched him think and they took bets on how long he'd stand in one place.
01:44:37.000And pretty soon the stuns started to come down and they pulled their fucking cots out to watch him sleep and he stood there all fucking night.
01:44:44.000Figuring out this problem, the answer to an issue to a problem.
01:47:47.000This is the only show, okay, if you are like me, and you have any, if you eat meat, okay, and you have any desire for some sort of intellectual connection to the animal that you eat, there's not a lot of people that represent you if you're like a thinking person.
01:48:05.000There's not a lot of people that represent you In the sportsman's world, we have this idea that sportsmen and hunters are these idiots, these fucking numb-minded Republican robots,
01:48:21.000and they're out there just fucking shooting animals because they're evil.
01:48:25.000Watch this show, because this is not that at all.
01:48:27.000This is Steve Rinella, who's a good friend now to Brian and myself.
01:48:31.000He's an awesome guy and a really well-read individual with a deep knowledge of especially the history of the colonization of the West.
01:48:42.000And a deep love for animals, by the way.
01:48:44.000A deep love for animals and an understanding of the whole process of acquiring your own meat.
01:48:50.000And the way he does it is he does it through this idea.
01:48:53.000It's called fair chase hunting where he's not – like sometimes they'll set out – and I don't have a problem with this.
01:48:58.000I'm just saying this is one of the ways that people go hunting.
01:50:55.000The way he's doing it, even the way Ted Nugent's doing it by leaving out bait and shooting it with an arrow when it comes to eat, so fucking what?
01:51:01.000That's still way more ethical, way smarter.
01:52:56.000Do you know how quickly the Soviets would fucking take over?
01:52:58.000Do you think Putin would stand it if Morrissey won?
01:53:00.000If Morrissey became the president of the United States, these fucking meat-headed, thick, tree-trunk-necked Russian cosmonauts would come running over and just dominate this country.
01:58:39.000He's been tagged by guys and dropped by them.
01:58:41.000You know, he just starts boxing and he's disciplined as fuck and he sticks that fucking boxing game in your face and slowly but surely he starts to overwhelm you.
01:58:50.000When he beat Kelly Pavlik and he goes, he grabbed him apparently and he said, don't let this ruin you.
01:59:43.000Felix Trinidad was never the same after that fight.
01:59:45.000That was the fight where he just, like, hit the wall.
01:59:47.000They say fighters always have one fight that, like, even get hit one time by one, it's one punch usually that kind of changes their whole mix.
02:00:45.000You're putting your body through incredible strains and you're especially doing an improvisational sort of a thing like wrestling or jujitsu or kickboxing where you don't know How he's gonna move or you're sparring and shit goes wrong and you can get hurt.
02:01:01.000But when shit starts breaking and you start getting injured and you start thinking about the amount of hours this guy's put in the gym, the amount of hours this guy's put in the cage, the amount of fights, the amount of wear and tear, it's just a matter of how long can you consistently keep up that sort of fighting style.
02:09:09.000First of all, he wears a patch over his eye because he went snow blind three times from climbing like fucking huge mountains like in Africa and stuff.
02:10:41.000That's like this new thing is this Monsanto.
02:10:45.000Bill that just passed silently through Congress without any mainstream exposure where they're giving Monsanto all sorts of- Subsidies and things like that?
02:10:56.000All sorts of abilities to hide the fact that genetically modified foods and things that you buy.
02:11:57.000The biggest danger is that when you have good people behaving corruptly, when you have a system that allows for no other way to do business, so that your system becomes an economy of influence and not meritocracy.
02:12:08.000So who you know is really how you get business, not what you can do.
02:12:11.000And that's where we're headed in some aspects, and you have to be very careful of that.
02:12:16.000At least Lawrence Lessig's book says that in A Republic Lost, which I've talked about many times on this podcast.
02:12:58.000And the rider strips the power from the federal courts to halt the sales and planting of genetically modified foods even if health concerns arise.
02:13:11.000The provision was simply an industry ploy to continue to sell genetically engineered seeds even when a court of law has found that they were approved by the USDA illegally, the petition stated.
02:13:25.000It's necessary to find an unprecedented act on U.S. judicial review.
02:13:31.000Congress should not be meddling with the judicial review process based solely on the special interest of a handful of companies.
02:13:38.000This is from someone's, I guess it was I don't know who wrote that.
02:13:46.000Okay, so what essentially they're saying is they snuck this in and people are just finding out about it now and they're Happens all the time in Washington.
02:13:53.000They're trying to protect the profits of this company.
02:13:57.000The only reason why you would hide information is you're trying to protect the profits.
02:14:02.000Because if the genetically modified foods are safe and they're in there and we find out they're safe, then we don't have to worry.
02:14:09.000But if they might not be safe and you want to sue, you're not going to know.
02:14:15.000You're not going to be able to blame it on the genetically modified foods.
02:14:18.000You're not even going to know if it's genetically modified.
02:14:20.000If you have health issues that arise, Because of the genetically modified foods, you won't even know the correlation.
02:14:25.000What if you have a known issue that's come up amongst a small percentage of people that do respond poorly to genetically modified foods?
02:14:35.000Well, you won't even fucking know because it's not going to be in the label because some cunts got paid.
02:14:40.000That's crazy because the people who are selling genetically modified foods should only want to be selling Healthy, genetically modified foods.
02:14:48.000It is possible that science can figure out a way to produce more food that's more nutritious.
02:15:23.000I'm saying that the Food and Nutrition Board, which sets the school standard for 30 million children on what they can eat, because they've been hijacked by companies like Nestle, etc., the big companies that have an interest in selling their products, Coca-Cola and stuff.
02:15:41.000I'm paraphrasing here, but they'll stack the deck with scientists that they basically hire to say that 25% of your diet can be simple sugars, which means I can have vending machines in there that sell soda and Twix bars and that's part of your lunch.
02:15:58.000That's where when you're ignorant and you don't know how the system works, how the incentive structure works, you are going to pay a price for it with your health and so are your kids.
02:16:09.000So that's why I always tell people you can't not be politically committed.
02:16:13.000It's not a luxury you can afford, man, because what happens is it becomes a concentration of vested interests.
02:17:44.000But when you start monkeying around with oranges, and, well, this is an orange that doesn't react badly to certain pesticides, and this is an orange that, you know, creates its own pesticide and kills off mosquitoes, or this is an orange that does...
02:18:50.000And so many people are eating terrible food every day, and so many people are unhealthy and sick all the time, and they're essentially poisoning themselves.
02:19:35.000Those are like pure little sugar things.
02:19:38.000If you go to a lot of parts of the country, like you and I do, travel a lot, there's not a lot of access to real good food.
02:19:43.000There's access to different restaurant chains or there's access to just a bunch of fast food in some areas where you can't even get healthy food.
02:22:43.000Okay, if they had the same resources that they put into the military and they put that into feeding people, they would be incredibly successful in feeding people.
02:22:52.000So when they come along and say, we need genetically modified foods because we need to feed people.
02:23:26.000I think that the rise of technology even in food is inevitable.
02:23:29.000There's a good side to it and there can also be an evil side to it.
02:23:33.000I think the question is transparency and knowing and seeing all the data and holding companies accountable and realizing that technology is not a bad thing.
02:23:45.000We probably, if we have 80 million people on this planet and We're probably going to have to resort to genetically modified foods.
02:23:50.000We already are in some parts of the world.
02:23:52.000The question becomes, how do you do it responsibly and ethically?
02:23:55.000The real issue is Paul Reiser's character from Aliens.
02:23:59.000Because that cunty, sneaky, slimy guy who wanted to bring the alien back and use it as a biological weapon, that was what was wrong with that fucking movie.
02:24:09.000That's what you call fucking full circle, ladies and gentlemen.
02:24:12.000And that's what's wrong with lobbyists.
02:24:14.000That's what's wrong with people influencing.
02:24:17.000The Congress to let something like this sneak through where frankenfoods can be in your diet and you're not even aware of it?
02:24:57.000The argument is about transparency and it's about the access to information and it's about someone who is supposed to be looking out for the interests of the people allowing people to withhold information.
02:26:54.000The only place you can find, I think it's called myric or mycelic acid, the only place you can find it is in sperm whale oil and coconut oil.
02:27:32.000What's some sort of a chemical process?
02:27:34.000And it just stands to reason that the more building blocks it gets for repair, for killing – taking out anti-radicals or free radicals, for destroying free radicals in your system, For helping you strengthen your immune system.
02:27:54.000It just only makes sense that if the machine has all it needs, it will function better.
02:27:59.000Did Tim Ferriss tell you, I had him on the podcast and he said he went to the Blue Zone in Okinawa to see the one area where they live longer than anybody else?
02:28:19.000But he also said that, and I tried to guess what they were, but he said there are a couple things that they have that are very important for health.
02:30:29.000When I think of all the good times, and I think about, like, I was watching that hunting thing, that you and I go back so far, I thought, you feel so lucky when you have friends, that you have so many experiences with, like, you and I know each other so fucking well.
02:30:41.000You know, so well, like, all the thorns and all, it's just such a, and watch, we've grown up together, you know?
02:31:08.000I was like, oh, there's one out there.
02:31:10.000There's someone out there I can hang with.
02:31:12.000I grew up, you know, in a bunch of different places in this country, you know, from when I was a little kid and lived in San Francisco, then I lived in Florida.
02:31:20.000But I spent, you know, all through my high school years, I spent, you know, in Boston.
02:31:26.000And one of the things about Boston, like I lived in a suburb, Newton, is you met a lot of real guys.
02:31:31.000There's a lot of guys who got up at 6 o'clock in the fucking morning and mowed lawns before they came to school.
02:31:42.000If someone talked some shit, they wanted to go punch him in the face.
02:31:45.000It was like, and growing up around them, it was like, these were normal people that I could, if he told me a story, I knew that's what happened, or at least what he thinks had happened.
02:31:54.000But I was getting mixed signals when I came to LA. I was like, oh my god, this is an insane asylum.
02:32:00.000I was totally ready to go back to New York.
02:32:02.000And if I didn't sign a fucking lease for my apartment, I thought my show was going to – that stupid baseball show.
02:32:40.000I come to LA. My buddy said he was from New York and he showed up at a party and he goes to this party and there's this guy in a robe with his arm around two girls on a couch and he goes like this.
02:32:52.000He goes, gentlemen, welcome to my place.
02:36:08.000Dude, I remember being in Boston and they just made it to Boston.
02:36:13.000They were in New York for a while and they just made it to Boston.
02:36:17.000And the guy was walking around with his Guardian Angels t-shirt on and his beret on and he's walking and I look at him and I'm following him and I'm locking eyes and he looks at me and goes, fuck you.
02:37:17.000He admitted to creating and perpetuating at least six hoaxes over the years between 1979 and 1980, according to the December 14, 1992 issue of People magazine.
02:37:27.000Because that's, remember, when he got in trouble.
02:37:28.000And the article, Silva recounts an October 1980 publicity stunt where he claimed he was kidnapped by New York City Transit Police and told...
02:37:58.000I'm going to try to do that with my stand-up.
02:38:00.000Somehow I'm going to be like, I got arrested for making people laugh too much.
02:38:03.000They were pulling people out on fucking, out on stretchers.
02:38:05.000This guy would have to bounce back a long way though, man.
02:38:09.000You know, he would bounce, he'd have to bounce back a long way.
02:38:12.000Because this is, he's had another guy who worked with him, who claimed that he faked several incidents, including highly publicized rape of then wife Lisa Silwa.
02:41:01.000My cum, I opened my mouth and it was like a jet came out of my cock that was the exact shape of my mouth on the inside and it went in seamlessly.
02:41:13.000It was an airtight gallon of cum that just like a wiffle ball bat expanded from the tip of my dick out in a fan, the shape of my mouth and went right in the hole.
02:41:26.000You had to sit through a fucking musical one time.
02:41:29.000I remember you told me, I go, what was it like?
02:41:31.000He goes, it was a murderous attention on my...
02:41:32.000A murderous assault on my attention span.
02:41:34.000Murderous assault on my attention span.
02:41:35.000Yeah, I had a friend that was in a musical, and we all went, and we watched the first half.
02:41:40.000And then I was like, what do you guys think?
02:41:42.000And they're like, well, I think she's doing a really great job.
02:47:07.000This Saturday night, I'll be in Indianapolis, Indiana, with young Tony Hinchcliffe, taking Tony out on the road, break his little comedy booty, break his cherry in.
02:50:48.000Hey, we love the shit out of you people and we'll see you tomorrow with Douglas Rushkoff, a brilliant author and a really interesting guy and we're going to have some really cool conversation tomorrow with Douglas.
02:50:57.000Google him if you don't know who the fuck he is.
