On this episode of the podcast, the boys discuss the return of the fanny pack and how to survive an asteroid falling from the sky. Also, we talk about a new version of Joe Rogan's "cock shield" and why it's probably not as good as it used to be. Also, the guys talk about the new and improved version of the Fanny Pack and why they think it should be sold as a survival pack instead of a t-shirt. And of course, there's a surprise guest appearance from Immortal Technique. The boys also talk about how a woman got hit in the arm by an asteroid and how she might survive it. We also get into a heated debate about whether or not cell phones are really as tough as they seem on the surface.

00:02:03.000Today's cell phones are very durable, my friend.
00:02:56.000Survival pack just sounds too phony, though.
00:02:59.000Nah, you gotta put survival pack and then you gotta put like the Joe Rogan cock shield edition with like just like the metal plate on top of it.

00:07:31.000LegalZoom can get all that done for you.
00:07:34.000And if you freak out, if you're in the middle of it and you're like, fuck!
00:11:17.000A-N. And it seems like you should say a...
00:11:20.000But really, it's supposed to be N. I forget.
00:11:23.000There's a few examples of that where the correct grammar is actually N, and I sometimes pretend I'm smart and try to use it the right way, and I fuck it up.
00:12:05.000He's back, ladies and gentlemen, with the new posse, Mortal Technique.
00:12:09.000The only guy, this was posted on my message board yesterday, this is the only guy that brought a posse to the podcast and they didn't suck.
00:13:54.000But I mean, look, there are people who really do that type of thing.
00:13:57.000Like, my friend told me that there was some ex-military dude that he, like, trains executives on, like, this survival, like, vacation weekend.
00:14:06.000And it's basically, like, for people that want to feel like they did something important.
00:14:10.000So we take them out to, like, this, like, area in the countryside, and they run a bunch of obstacles, and they get them in shape for, like, you know, a week or two, and then bust their ass.
00:14:18.000And then they call it, like, survival training.
00:14:20.000But that's obviously not, like, real survival training.
00:14:23.000I guess you have to jump out of, like, a parachute out of a fucking plane into, like, a wilderness area and then meet someone at a certain place, like, two weeks later.
00:14:31.000Like, alright, go to, like, LZ1, like, you know, 15 miles away through, like...
00:14:39.000Wolf dens and mountain ranges, forest, and who the fuck else knows?
00:15:00.000In Survivor, they do go and they have to get food and they do shit like that, but it's very different than taking one person and telling them that they have to make it across a forest and get to another side.
00:15:13.000You know, I never really watched that show too often.
00:15:16.000Were their lives ever really in danger on Survivor?
00:15:19.000It's always endurance, really, more than survival because you know that there's a way out.
00:15:23.000Let's take somebody who didn't even know this was going to happen at all and drop them there.
00:15:28.000Yeah, well, those people that are on that show, you know, when you see that everybody gets by okay, and everybody's okay, they're not in danger because it's television.
00:17:59.000Survivor Man probably does shit like that.
00:18:01.000That dude went to Africa, and he slept a night in Africa, in this area where lions live, with a hot air balloon.
00:18:08.000And his idea was, the idea for the show was, if you were in a hot air balloon and it ran out of gas and it fell somewhere, or the balloon got punctured or some shit and it fell somewhere, and you were trapped, how would you get by?
00:18:21.000So this guy went to fucking Africa, and that was all he had for shelter.
00:18:25.000Was the basket that this fucking, this supposed hot air balloon had, and then the flamethrower to make the balloon inflate and go up.
00:18:34.000You know, they hit that shh, the fire comes up, and the heat is what makes the balloon rise, and they drop it off when they want it to fall.
00:18:39.000Well, he had that as well, and he was using that to keep the lions away, blowing fire at them, because when he would set it up on the ground, it was like a flamethrower.
00:19:09.000But you know how that show's going to end, right?
00:19:11.000It's just going to end with a still shot of him with a fucking camera on the ground and people picking out his innards.
00:19:17.000Well, yeah, I think what they do is they know where he is by GPS location, and I guess he probably has a satellite phone.
00:19:24.000Like, if everything went terribly wrong and he had a call, like if he breaks his leg or something like that, he'll just die.
00:19:29.000I mean, he has to get medical help, so they must have some sort of a plan.
00:19:33.000But he still, his life is in danger every step of the way.
00:19:37.000Oh, I mean, when you see people that swim with sharks, for example.
00:19:40.000That's the part that I say, okay, I did that with, like, baby sharks and with, like, sand sharks.
00:19:46.000They have something at the Mall of America.
00:19:48.000I went back with, like, my ex-girlfriend years and years and years ago.
00:19:52.000It was cool, but when I see people who swim with, like, 10-foot sharks, 12-foot sharks, in, like, the wild, you know, where the shark doesn't know that you're a filmmaker.
00:20:02.000It doesn't have any idea that this is for...
00:21:06.000But if you look at them, man, you look at their black, dead eyes, and you look at their body is just designed to just chew.
00:21:14.000There's not a lot of thinking going on.
00:21:15.000We had this conversation earlier about what it means to be a hunter.
00:21:19.000But wouldn't it be hunting, really, if you were in a rowboat with a harpoon going after one of them and not in a giant vessel shooting at them with a high-powered rifle?
00:21:29.000Well, if you were in a little boat, you're going to die.
00:21:32.000You're not going to beat a great white shark with a harpoon.
00:22:29.000But they cut open a shark, and we had to take its kids out, like its children.
00:22:32.000And when you felt the shark, they said, watch.
00:22:35.000And the science teacher rubbed his hand, nose to the back, and his hand was cut open.
00:22:40.000And he said that what the normal sharks do is they just swim through a school of fish, and since their skin's built like that, whatever they touch, they cut.
00:22:48.000And then on the second loop around, they can smell the blood, or they can see one of the fishes that they've cut and go through it.
00:24:49.000I mean, if it's been around as long as they say it's been around...
00:24:51.000When you hear about the actual coding of the NSA software and how they first started doing it, there was a guy, the original NSA whistleblower.
00:24:59.000I should pull this guy up and give him his props because it's a pretty fascinating story.
00:25:03.000Because he was a whistleblower a long time ago, and he was the guy that was responsible for making the software.
00:25:11.000And when he was making the software, he was telling everybody, like, hey, you can't use this to just spy on everybody.
00:25:18.000So he started doing all these interviews.
00:25:38.000And this fucking guy told people about this a long time ago.
00:25:43.000There's a story of it on YouTube on the RT America channel.
00:25:47.000That's Bill Binney, B-I-N-N-E-Y. And he was a U.S. intelligence official.
00:25:53.000And he worked for the NSA. And he turned into a whistleblower.
00:25:57.000In October 31st, 2001, after more than 30 years with the agency, he was a high-profile critic of his former employers during the George W. Bush administration, and was subject to FBI investigations, of course, including a raid on his home,
00:26:29.000And he was saying that when he found out that they were able to spy on everyone, and that they were using this system, the system that was initially called Trailblazer, and it was a system intended to analyze data carried on communications networks,
00:27:05.000Because he just predicted it, And, you know, he wasn't actually talking about something that had happened, but he got out of the NSA and said, this is going on.
00:27:54.000We find out that there are layers upon layers upon layers of what's going on in the world.
00:27:59.000I said that the government itself was involved in a drug trade in Peruvian cocaine, so people said, oh my god, how can you use this conspiracy theory?
00:28:21.000They want the big fish so they can rat out all the little fish and they can all spend time in jail because only the main dude has the $10 million attorney.
00:28:29.000So, I mean, I don't blame this guy for just being fed up and saying, hey man, this is exactly what's going on or what's going to go on in the future.
00:28:37.000That somebody hasn't found a way to give him cancer or some shit and kill him off in a way that doesn't raise that much suspicion.
00:28:44.000Well, like I said, he did it so long ago before it ever became a public issue that he quit in 2001. And that's when he started talking and doing all these interviews.
00:29:17.000He wants there to be protection of rights as well, though.
00:29:20.000He wants us to be able to go after terrorists, but he doesn't think the government should be able to just willy-nilly look into everybody's fucking emails.
00:29:27.000But the government shouldn't become a terrorist in the process of going after terrorists.
00:29:33.000If you're torturing random people, In order to do that, then you are becoming the terrorists themselves.
00:29:39.000And then there's no distinction, really, because one is a hidden danger that people are terrified of, and the other one is exactly the same thing, a hidden danger that people are terrified from.
00:29:49.000Someone in power says, you know what, I don't like this guy.
00:30:33.000Whenever you get groups of people that have that much power, when you have essentially the power to create laws, The power to go in to the very laws that were established in the beginning of this nation and change them so that you can get away with shit that would ordinarily be illegal.
00:30:50.000All those things are only done by people who have too much power.
00:30:54.000They're never things that people vote on.
00:30:56.000The people never vote to give themselves less rights.
00:30:59.000The people never vote to give more trust in the government.
00:31:01.000The government just sort of takes it, slowly but surely.
00:31:04.000And the best way to take it is to tell you there's a bunch of enemies they have to protect you from.
00:31:31.000The idea that the greatest government...
00:31:33.000Yeah, that we would stop doing that in 2014. That after all they've learned, after all these years, they go, you know what, all that time-tested shit, we're going to set it aside and we're going to be ethical.
00:31:44.000We're going to be the ethical domineers of the world.
00:31:47.000Because Obama's in office, now we're going to be ethical.
00:31:49.000But there were people who believed in this fairytale.
00:33:19.000These things were specifically done to a people to try and take away from the legitimacy that they have to dehumanize because that's the only way to really do something that negative to someone.
00:33:30.000You have to find some sort of different way to define them as a person so that then you can justify it, not just to yourself, but to other groups of people.
00:33:39.000You know, normal people won't be like, hey man, I'm just going to kill this person and take their land and their gold and their oil or whatever it is.
00:33:45.000But now it's like, oh my God, no, these people and the way they are are wicked and their wickedness is going to spread to the rest of us so much.
00:33:55.000And belief systems, once they're in place, they can be really scary.
00:33:59.000You know, if you have a belief system that this group that you're going after are all evil and God is on your side and they need to be smitten from the earth, if you have that belief system.
00:34:12.000And that's what I think turns a lot of people off about religion.
00:34:15.000It's not, there's no personal response.
00:34:17.000As much as, you know, the right-wingers that are religious scream about, oh, we want people in the ghetto to have personal, why don't you take some personal responsibility?
00:34:29.000You feel uncomfortable with this being this way.
00:34:31.000Or you don't like these people for some reason.
00:34:34.000Or maybe you've actually done the history and you know that these people have a legitimate reason to be unhappy with this government or know that they've been treated unfairly in some way, shape, or form.
00:34:42.000And I think there's a difference between being angry and having holy anger and having a righteous anger.
00:34:49.000And being angry for a reason, not just being upset and feeling like you're quote-unquote the victim, but technically looking at a situation and saying, no, I was treated unfairly.
00:35:53.000I'm gonna intellectualize all of this and make it seem rational, you know, so I'll get away with a whole bunch of shit that if Mitt Romney had been elected or if McCain had been elected and done the exact same shit that he did.
00:36:16.000We did a show yesterday to raise money for people that were victims of that typhoon in the Philippines, you know, and it's going straight to them because they're working with grassroots organizations.
00:36:25.000But a lot of times when I see these big activist groups and they come up to me and I'm just like, yo, where the fuck are you now?
00:36:31.000You know, you were all waving your flag, you know, when it was the Bush era.
00:38:34.000Yo, I swear to God, there's so many times when I've seen people, like when I go to colleges, and there's some preacher dude, like in front of the college, arguing with the atheists.
00:38:44.000And I always ask him, I'm like, yo dude, do you believe in the president?
00:38:48.000And he's like, I absolutely support President Bush.
00:38:51.000I was like, what would he have to do to lose your support?
00:38:55.000What sort of things would he have to abuse?
00:38:57.000Could he kill someone and still gain your support?
00:38:59.000And the guy was like, well, that depends who.
00:39:25.000I'm only going to care about the lives of certain human beings because they share this same belief system of mine.
00:39:31.000But the moment that you don't, then I feel so threatened by your existence that I don't care if your children live or die.
00:39:38.000Well, you heard the latest revelations about the NSA that they were ordering drone strikes based on metadata.
00:39:45.000They were ordering drone stripes based on GPS location of phones that they were tracking so they might not have even known that the guy that they were looking for was inside the building and they just randomly targeted buildings where these phones existed.
00:40:00.000You know, if that's true, that means they just said, okay, well, we're going to have to kill a whole bunch of fucking people to get this phone.
00:42:00.000I had this discussion with somebody about atheism and their way of dealing with Different cultures and societies.
00:42:08.000You can totally be an atheist and be racist.
00:42:11.000It's like being, you know, you could be a feminist and you could be racist.
00:42:14.000That's ridiculous to think that those two things can't coexist in the same being.
00:42:18.000My thing is this, when I hear people like Darwin, sorry, Richard Dawkins and people who are Darwinists have conversations, what's interesting to me is the level of civilization that they'll attribute to, like...
00:42:33.000Even though they'll say it's barbaric, it's still not as barbaric as those dark brown people's cultures because they're even more dangerous.
00:43:05.000Then is Christ a blood god to you or is it a god of peace?
00:43:08.000That's the question that I have to ask.
00:43:10.000And that is the part where You know, when I speak to people who are atheists who don't believe in theism and stuff like that, you have to separate that from actual historians and people who have studied the history of religion and the history of different cultures and societies to say, which one is more so-called civil to one another?
00:43:27.000Because I think we've fallen to this idea of the civilized savage.
00:43:31.000You know, the idea that certain cultures brought civilization to other people.
00:43:35.000Nobody ever brought civilization to anybody.
00:43:38.000Civilization is the act of being civil to one another.
00:43:40.000When you take somebody else's shit and then you say, oh, guess what?
00:43:44.000You're going to use our way of doing things now rather than yours.
00:44:05.000I mean, the horrors that happen in this country alone, it's hard to believe that just a couple hundred years ago all this stuff wasn't here.
00:44:12.000I mean, a couple hundred years ago is nothing.
00:45:44.000There's no saying like what dimension they're in, you know what I mean?
00:45:48.000Or how our eyes are calibrated, what we can or can't see.
00:45:52.000I used to be real attracted to the idea that aliens came and helped people.
00:45:56.000I was very, very attracted to the idea.
00:45:58.000And I'm still attracted to it because I think it'd be insanely fascinating because it really follows what human beings would do if we were super advanced and we came to a planet and we found some primitive life forms.
00:46:08.000For sure we would drop off some of our fucking jizz.
00:46:11.000We would definitely give them some of our DNA. We're gross.
00:46:14.000We thought we could, you know, touch this world in some way.
00:49:09.000What they left behind, though, carved in the stones, is magnificent shit.
00:49:13.000I mean, all their hieroglyphs, the beautiful works of art they left behind, like the symmetry to their buildings and the mathematics of their construction, it's so obvious they were super, super advanced people.
00:49:30.000And we just think of that as being like, well, there's no way, aliens must do it.
00:49:34.000No, it's real possible that a human race, a human culture can get super advanced and fuck it all up.
00:49:41.000And it could be fucked up by disease, and it could be fucked up by asteroids, and it could be fucked up by other humans invading them, which would happen to Egypt.
00:49:49.000They got invaded by the Nubians, and the Nubians took older.
00:49:52.000That's why the older pharaohs, the more recent pharaohs, all had black African faces.
00:49:57.000Like the Pharaoh on the face of the Sphinx is a very distinctly different face than some of the more Sephardic Pharaohs that you saw like in the early days.
00:50:05.000And the other thing is this, that Egypt initially began as a society that rose from Other places, you know what I mean?
00:50:14.000There were other civilizations that predated it, such as Sumeria, things of that nature.
00:50:19.000And when you look at it, yes, of course, they could have easily took from those civilizations as well.
00:50:30.000Is based on an Iroquois Confederacy, something that people don't really realize or pay attention to, that yes, we didn't just get corn from indigenous people.
00:50:38.000We got this idea that different places could be under the same federal state, but still, guess what?
00:50:45.000Have laws of their own that are respected by the federal government or forceful, that they're forced to respect because these are different tribes and these tribes...
00:50:54.000I'm not going to tolerate you telling them how to live.
00:50:57.000However, we will combine forces for the survivability of all of us together as opposed to individual tribes.
00:51:04.000Wasn't that the whole forming of the Constitution as well?
00:51:06.000I mean, didn't they get the ideas in the Constitution from studying the great civilizations of the past like Rome and Greece and all their ideals about how society should be put together And use those ideas in a lot of ways to formulate the Constitution.
00:51:22.000Well, I mean, Napoleon's civil code also influenced a lot of Western societies, Europe's legal system now.
00:51:29.000But I think, you know, when we talk about whether it's aliens or whether it's anybody that interferes in a human society, You want to think that what would their agenda be?
00:52:09.000The idea that we've never been visited before is silly.
00:52:12.000But if we pay attention to the way we treat the things on this planet that we can control, and we think about how the fuck they would deal with us, we should be probably pretty happy that it is bullshit.
00:52:23.000Because if they're anything like us...
00:52:26.000I wouldn't put it past them creating us out of monkeys.
00:52:29.000I wouldn't put it past some super advanced alien species, look at some stupid chimps, and go, look at these dumb motherfuckers.
00:52:35.000Let's take some of our shit and put it into them, and then come back in a thousand years.
00:52:39.000Oh my god, they got planes and buildings.
00:53:22.000I mean, we're a couple hundred years removed from slavery in this country.
00:53:25.000We just came up with the internet 20 years ago.
00:53:28.000We already have a robot moving around on Mars.
00:53:31.000If there's something else out there that's a hundred years, a thousand years more advanced than us, if they haven't blown themselves up, for sure they would send some shit our way.
00:53:38.000If they came here a long, long-ass time ago, the universe is 13 point whatever billion years old, allegedly.
00:55:08.000There's a woman named Dr. Carolyn Mace talking about the evolution of the species.
00:55:14.000Her theory is that we're all homo erectus because we walk upright, but there's also different people on this planet that are called homo noeticus, meaning that they have more than just the five senses that people have.
00:55:49.000It's not so much dependent on the ideas of compartmentalizing people in the way we do in terms of race or in terms of religion.
00:55:57.000It wouldn't be like to say that one person of this color or this creed would have been smarter.
00:56:03.000It would have been a specific individual that's born within that line.
00:56:08.000Either it could be here in America, it could be in Mexico, it could be in Nigeria or Scandinavia somewhere, but We're good to go.
00:56:41.000He only interrupts the podcast to speak to his child or something, so something must be wrong at home.
00:56:46.000People who pick up on those things, it's incredibly, it's not like female intuition, that sex is bullshit.
00:56:52.000It's the idea that people in general, male, female, whatever, some of them are just more in touch with the idea of giving a fuck about how the people around them exist, and therefore they're just a more, I wouldn't say a more considerate human being,
00:57:08.000but they have more emotional intelligence.
00:57:09.000They pay more attention to developing that in themselves.
00:57:28.000Anyone who's gotta fight in the ring and calibrate an exact punch or know how to move somebody or to step them in this direction or another, that's an incredible physical genius that they have to possess in order to carry on something like that and not knock the fuck out by someone swinging on you as hard as they possibly can.
00:57:45.000But only certain intelligences are valued in this country and in the world in terms of human society as opposed to delving into what they would really be if we took them each At not just face value, but what they represent for our human culture.
00:58:00.000You know, that's why some people fuck with animals more than they fuck with people.
00:58:04.000I know people that are like, oh, I love my dog.
00:58:06.000Why can't you love a dog more than a person?
00:58:08.000Sometimes a dog is more a human being than a human.
00:58:11.000You know, you got a homeless person in the street who's crying.
01:00:44.000You know, I know lots of people I've known through my life that either almost died or died of a damn heroin overdose or some kind of drug overdose.
01:00:51.000The NYPD didn't go meticulously looking for the specific dealer.
01:00:55.000You want to know where the heroin's coming from, homie, I told him?
01:00:58.000The first stop you need to do is Afghanistan.
01:01:01.000And the poppy fields are being protected by our troops because the warlords that we want to stay in power, that are willing to give us access, are the ones that need the money.
01:01:11.000So we allowed them to grow the poppy and we disallowed the Taliban supporters too.
01:01:16.000But listen, don't bring any homeless people into your house.
01:01:56.000Do you think those people started that way or do you think it was the things that happened to them within the course of their life more often that makes them that way?
01:02:03.000You would be crazy to assume either or.
01:02:05.000No one has any idea what the background of a lot of those people are other than the people that have treated them in the past.
01:02:11.000They probably don't even know what the fuck happened to them.
01:02:13.000There's a lot of really sick people out there that just happen to be homeless people because we can't classify them as insane enough to institutionalize.
01:02:22.000Not then to be crazy enough to try to define it, but wouldn't you think that The majority of these cases are people who had extreme trauma of some sort as a child?
01:03:52.000He had a lot of mental health issues himself.
01:03:55.000And I think that there's a lot of people out there that are homeless that have mental health.
01:03:59.000Well, I think that's the majority of a lot of the cases.
01:04:02.000I think a lot of the homeless people that have mental health issues.
01:04:05.000And what's sad is that, you know, especially when you find people who are supposed to be cared for by this government, and it goes back to what we were talking about before.
01:04:13.000Imagine the veterans that are homeless out there who have paid dues and risked their lives for this country, and they're completely looked over.
01:04:19.000And you would think the people who say that they love America so much...
01:04:40.000No, that's not the case because the people who usually say that are the ones that are bleeding this country dry by saying, oh man, I love America.
01:07:19.000$12 an hour job in like 1999 when I just made parole and they were advertising like, please come to this area, you know, you can learn and I walked in and it was a Scientology center.
01:07:30.000And I walked in, the lady was super nice, they're all the most polite people in the world.
01:07:36.000I wish you wanted a fucking Scientology.
01:07:37.000They literally just brought me in, they shoved me in front of a screen with like four or five other people and they played me like a Scientology video.
01:07:46.000And then they asked us, they were like, did you all understand the truth in this video?
01:07:52.000And I was sitting here and I was just like, yo, I really wanted to be like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
01:08:11.000And there was somebody else in there who really needed that fucking job, and they just looked at me, and they gave me this kind of look like, cool, cool, you're not in the running anymore.
01:08:36.000Joe, you might be right about this racist shit, by the way, because the only other ones that don't have to pay taxes, the Golf League, the PGA, and the NHL. The golf league doesn't have to pay taxes?
01:10:45.000Well, they might have had some sort of a deal.
01:10:47.000Maybe they pay off the cops, get through the lawn, hand out brochures.
01:10:51.000I think that's the only way you really do get anything done.
01:10:54.000I think for a lot of companies and corporations, they just pay off whoever it is that's in charge.
01:10:59.000Well, the only reason why people aren't investigating Scientology in this country, but yet they are in other countries, it's got to be just how much money they have.
01:11:06.000That's the only thing that makes sense.
01:11:07.000Because if there's a new group that came out of nowhere, And they hadn't, you know, had all this history of owning all these buildings.
01:11:14.000And you found out, like, that they developed this religion based on the science fiction author's writings.
01:11:22.000And you would read it and go, wait a minute, what the fuck?
01:11:46.000As long as it's through a certain period of time.
01:11:48.000Look, I have a great respect for people who I've seen use religion to make them a better person.
01:11:54.000But when I see someone become more pretentious, more judgmental, more like, I have all the answers and unless you believe in exactly what I believe, Then you're going to go to damnation.
01:12:04.000That's when I see religion as a destructive thing that ends up ruining people's lives.
01:12:10.000But when I see people that honestly just take it, and I think that's the thing with a lot of religions, as long as the canon can be as ridiculous as it's going to be.
01:12:18.000You know, people will believe preposterous things.
01:12:20.000All of them ask you to believe something preposterous.
01:13:13.000For you and I to look at that and be like, oh man, you know, who in this room would imagine, you know, I'm gonna put my hand in the toilet to pick out my dinner tomorrow.
01:13:21.000But that is the absolute reality that people who are living in those type of dire conditions, because if they don't eat that, they're not gonna fucking eat.
01:13:28.000That's why I'm honestly not offended if somebody...
01:13:31.000You know, steal something when I'm in some third world country.
01:13:34.000I mean, not that I like that shit, but, yo, you're taking something because you're gonna die if you don't sell it to eat.
01:13:40.000And motherfuckers are just stealing, you know, Reebok pumps because they want to look fucking cool.
01:14:48.000The energy that exists when you have these powerful, transformative, psychedelic experiences.
01:14:56.000So he's building this thing in upstate New York.
01:15:00.000He came on and showed me and Brian his...
01:15:03.000His community he's putting together up there.
01:15:06.000But he's got this huge building that he's making that he came on our podcast and did a Kickstarter for it and raised the money like in no time.
01:16:27.000Whoever the fuck takes this shit over is going to be like, listen, you know, in order for you to really get the psychedelic experience, you let me...
01:17:06.000If you suppress, the energy finds a way through in another way.
01:17:09.000I really want to do some in-depth research on when that started happening, because in the early Orthodox church, people who were officials of the church were allowed to have wives.
01:17:21.000They were allowed to have a dispensation.
01:17:27.000I mean, I think at some point, people looked at it probably in the Middle Ages where people got real pious.
01:17:32.000And, you know, when you examine the changing of Christianity, you find specific points where it becomes, you know, from that time where people are completely nonviolent to becoming structured to be a violent society.
01:17:48.000You know, people say, oh, well, whose writings are those?
01:17:51.000I always said it was St. Augustine, and then it makes sense because he dies in the siege of Hippo Regis.
01:17:56.000During that particular time, you know, the Eastern Roman Empire was trying to eradicate something called Arianism, which is the idea that the father is superior to the son.
01:18:04.000In other words, the father created the son, and therefore the son was inferior to the father as he was a creation.
01:18:09.000The people of the church hated this idea, and so they overthrew all of the Germanic kingdoms that inherited the Western Roman Empire in order to We're good to go.
01:20:18.000It says that Germanic language translations of the Bible have existed since the Middle Ages, and the most influential is Luther's translation.
01:20:26.000The Martin Luther translations, I believe that was in the 1500s or something like that.
01:20:33.000There's a great hardcore history podcast on that called something Thor.
01:20:49.000So back then, when a priest was the only direct connection to God, he was the only guy that was able to tell you the Word of God, he was the only...
01:21:03.000This is the Gothic Bible, or the Wafilla Bible.
01:21:07.000Christian Bible as translated by the Wafilla in the 4th century into the Gothic language spoken by the Eastern Germanic peoples or the Gothic tribes, meaning the inheritors of the Roman state.
01:21:20.000As Rome fell in 410 and then, of course, I think in 455, and then finally, what was the last...
01:21:31.000476. And back then, the Germans were totally different, like, the whole country of Germany.
01:22:39.000When you look at their tribal societies, though, I really would like to sit down and examine what the process was for them in their societies as opposed to when they were Romanized.
01:23:40.000Sparta still had slaves like a motherfucker.
01:23:43.000Well, I give the movie 300 a lot of creative freedom because it was based on a graphic novel and it's obviously got a lot of mythical qualities.
01:28:33.000For example, other sports, they have a limit to what they can say, and then they're like, oh no, this is too...
01:28:39.000Didn't they get in trouble on some shit in the NBA where they were talking about somebody else's wife, or you're only allowed to say certain things, or you're talking about somebody else's kids in their ear?
01:28:48.000For example, in certain soccer leagues, you're not allowed to mention somebody's family or talk about racism.
01:30:47.000The odds of you really getting inside a dude's head and causing him to do something that's going to make him lose the fight, they're fucking professionals, man.
01:30:53.000The dudes who are really good, stop, Brian.
01:31:19.000The silent warrior who will just sit there praying at some Buddhist temple until he gets up like Ken and Ryu and goes and beats the shit out of his opponent and then fly back to Thailand so he can sit under that fake statue and fight Sagat later.
01:31:30.000No, I mean, dude, he's going to say some fucked up shit in your ear.
01:31:35.000The greatest fighters almost always are martial artists, like real martial artists.
01:31:39.000The guys like George St. Pierre, the guys like Lyoto Machida, these guys, they're not shit talkers ever at all.
01:31:44.000They follow by the true martial arts principles, and that's one of the reasons why they're so good.
01:31:48.000They don't carry the burden of shit talking.
01:31:50.000When a guy like Chael Sonnen talks mad shit before a fight...
01:31:54.000Look, Chael can obviously back it up, he's obviously a very good fighter, but make no mistake about it, there's a tremendous pressure on him because of that shit-talking, on top of the fact that he's got a fight.
01:32:03.000That is an extra opponent that you have inside the octagon, knowing that if you lose, my god, you're gonna look like a fucking idiot.
01:32:10.000That shit is real, and it's an enemy, and it is also enforcing the ego, which is, it has to be left out as much as possible in any situation where you're dealing with extreme pressure.
01:32:46.000You know, what I think he did was a form of the extreme braggadocious nature of the way he would talk was so obvious that it was almost like theater.
01:32:56.000Like, Howard Cosell said to him, Champ, you seem truculent.
01:32:59.000He goes, whatever truculent means, if it's good, I'm that.
01:33:13.000People wouldn't think he's wrong for that.
01:33:15.000But someone would think that someone who's talking shit on the football field, saying reckless things about someone else's family, they're wrong for that.
01:33:22.000Well, first of all, people definitely thought he was wrong for that.
01:33:25.000You're dealing with the perception of Muhammad Ali.
01:35:12.000Yeah, Joe Frazier, he taunted Muhammad Ali shaking and all that stuff.
01:35:15.000I mean, he was upset for a long-ass fucking time.
01:35:18.000And when he knocked Muhammad Ali down with that left hook and won that fight, that first fight, make no mistake about it, a lot of people were fucking happy that Muhammad Ali, the draft-dodging black man who talks all that shit, got beat and lost his title to the guy who's like a good family man who,
01:38:04.000What cost him was him not fighting like a martial artist, was him being like a guy trying to play psychological warfare.
01:38:11.000Instead of just fighting with perfect technique, he got the guy to stand up with him If he can keep that fight standing, he should have the advantage.
01:38:42.000You know, some guys can stretch that shit out.
01:38:44.000What's crazy is guys like Bernard Hopkins, who are 10 years older than him, and Bernard Hopkins has one of the light heavyweight titles in boxing.
01:38:50.000He's a 175-pound champion, and he's almost 50 years old.
01:38:54.000I mean, no one's ever done that before.
01:38:55.000But Bernard Hopkins fights exactly the opposite of Anderson.
01:42:02.000Some guys take a variety of different muscle-enhancing supplements.
01:42:07.000There's testosterone boosters that are legal.
01:42:10.000There's one that on itself is called T+. It's showing that people like weightlifters were showing that it's increased their ability to lift weights in double-blind placebo studies where you're not using essentially a giant group of people.
01:42:24.000And the people that were using T-plus got higher improvement in their weightlifting.
01:42:29.000So there's a few things that you can do, but for the most part, most of the guys that get on it, they get on the synthetic form.
01:42:35.000They get on the synthetic form of testosterone.
01:42:38.000So there's like a few different T-plus, and there's a couple other test boosters, and there's a few roots that are supposed to work, like tribulus is supposed to have a small effect, and there's another, what is it, long jack?
01:42:54.000There's another one that's supposed to have some sort of an effect.
01:42:56.000But for the most part, it doesn't have anywhere near the effect that actually taking testosterone will have.
01:43:03.000So these guys take it, and Vitor is taking it, and there's a dispute as to whether or not he's going to get licensed in Las Vegas.
01:43:11.000And if he doesn't get licensed to use testosterone, then he has to get off of the testosterone and then fight Weidman.
01:43:18.000And if that happens, man, that's going to be really fascinating because his hormone levels are going to be all fucked up.
01:43:23.000If he's used to taking an extra natural form of testosterone, injecting it into his system, and then he stops doing it, his body's going to have a much lower level of testosterone in his training camps than even normally a regular person would.
01:43:39.000A normal human being, he would have much lower.
01:43:40.000It'll drop off, yeah, because his body's been used to getting it externally.
01:44:13.000I went to a mixed martial arts competition, but it was a local one that one of my friends was supposed to fight in, but he got injured, and so he didn't fight at the end, but I ended up watching it.
01:44:24.000And it was actually pretty interesting.
01:48:12.000John Jones is gonna fight, he's gonna fight in Baltimore, and he's gonna fight Glover Teixeira, who's the scariest motherfucker out of all the 205 pound contenders.
01:48:25.000Everybody knows that Glover was on the sidelines for six months.
01:48:29.000He had a visa issue and he couldn't get to the United States.
01:48:32.000He was fucking people up in small shows because he was one of Chuck Liddell's training partners and he has been world-class.
01:48:38.000Like, top of the food chain, world class, for almost a decade now.
01:48:42.000Like, Sokuju, before Sokuju made this big splash in pride and was knocking, knocked out Little Nog, knocked out Ricardo Arona, before he did that, Glover Teixeira fucked him up in the WEC. But Glover had visa issues.
01:48:54.000So for six years, everybody knew that Glover was, like, having real problems trying to fight in America, but he was fighting in Brazil.
01:49:02.000And just beating the fucking shit out of people, man.
01:49:39.000It's the law for poor people, because when you're rich, apparently...
01:49:42.000Some of my friends that are lawyers that handle immigration cases, they'll tell me straight up, no, listen, there are rich families from...
01:49:51.000Places in Asia, in the Middle East, that when they want to come here, they buy a green card.
01:49:55.000And I was like, what do you mean buy a green card?
01:49:57.000And they set up a company in order to employ certain people here.
01:50:03.000It has to be a certain, it's like $200,000, $300,000.
01:50:06.000And when they pay into it, they immediately are given green cards to manage the business here as long as they employ a certain amount of Americans.
01:50:12.000But like you say, you know, he probably just didn't have the people backing him up.
01:50:16.000Yeah, you gotta have mad cash to buy or make a fake company in order to get green cards, but it can be done.
01:53:37.000But if they don't give it to him, he really shouldn't be fighting for the title unless he can get his hormones back in order.
01:53:44.000If he's been taking testosterone for a long period of time, I don't understand how his body is just going to start magically producing it again on its own.
01:53:51.000Unless they figure out something that they give him that will kick start his production of testosterone.
01:53:56.000But if that's the case, shouldn't he have been doing that in the first place?
01:54:30.000You know, not to make fun of Mike Tyson, you know, he's a monster even now, but I'm just saying, when I look at that, I'm like, alright, how could he not have been affected by that?
01:54:38.000You are mood-altering drugs, and now they're asking you to fight for your life, and then at the end of it, you put a flower in a nigga's hair, and then you kissed him on the cheek.
01:54:48.000Yeah, I don't know what he was on when he fought Lennox, but I wouldn't be surprised, man.
01:54:52.000He was high on drugs during major fights.
01:56:41.000Yeah, and then he came back, and then he came back and he fought Holyfield, and now those Holyfield debacles, those were fucking crazy when he bit Holyfield's ear.
01:56:48.000That was all post-prison, you're right.
01:56:49.000He was saying that Holyfield was head-butting him, which he does all the time.
01:57:30.000But I just think, I don't think you can keep it up.
01:57:32.000But I think that when he was at his best, I think he only kept it up for a few years, like two years, three years, but I think during that time, he was the greatest of all time.
01:57:42.000I don't think anybody ever sent shockwaves through the boxing world the way that guy did.
01:57:48.000He emerged on the scene and just started starching people with fucking haymakers that came at the speed that Roberto Duran would throw them, yet it's coming from a guy who's 215 pounds and just launching motherfuckers into orbit.
01:58:02.000That right hook to the body, right uppercut that would snap your fucking head back.
01:58:06.000That uppercut, when I see the old YouTube videos of him fighting, That uppercut is the way he comes up.
01:58:13.000I don't know how someone's jaw was intact after that.
01:58:31.000Somebody told me, we were having this discussion about music, and I went to the Berklee College of Music, and I was telling kids, listen, people don't generally get rich off of music.
01:58:42.000What artists do is they take that nest egg of money that they do, or that they get from music, and they invest it wisely in something else.
01:58:50.000The richest rappers, quote-unquote, Are people who have made some money in music and they say, you know what?
01:58:55.000I'm going to start a construction company or a contracting company or I'm going to buy six waffle houses or I'm going to get a clothing company or whatever it is.
01:59:45.000He won coach of the year for 2013, rightly so, because he did a tremendous job of transitioning between being a great fighter to being an even better coach.
01:59:54.000I mean, an amazing coach for this team alpha male.
01:59:56.000He just changed that whole fucking team.
01:59:58.000I mean, they're all striking at a very high level now, much, much higher than they were before.
02:00:03.000So that's a good transition for Dwayne, and he's doing very well with that.
02:00:06.000But some guys, they just quit and go into business.
02:00:09.000Keith Jardine opened up a coffee company.
02:02:55.000She definitely knows that something's going on under the table.
02:02:58.000That woman, as soon as they got in their car, her and her husband, she was like, that motherfucker, did you see the way he kissed Elizabeth Hurley?
02:03:46.000They got points now and they're just gonna use those points to try to shut you down and build them up.
02:03:50.000But it all just makes everybody look like a bunch of bitches.
02:03:53.000Because if that was going on amongst your friends, let's say if there was ten of your friends, And one of your friends was not particularly happy with his wife's relationship, and so he started banging Elizabeth Hurley.
02:04:03.000And all you guys found out about it...
02:04:05.000I wouldn't dry snitch, I wouldn't play Tom Sizemore, I'll tell you that.
02:04:09.000If you went out and you snitch, no one would want to hang out with you anymore.
02:06:15.000He could have killed himself with a gay lover, and the gay lover wanted to cover up his story, so he grabbed the body and dropped it off somewhere and put the gun in his thump.
02:06:34.000Whoever killed him, it's most likely that whether he killed himself or somebody else killed him, they moved his body and they put a gun in his thumb.
02:07:38.000And the ASA that tried my case was then disbarred after like two, it was like maybe two or three cases after me for tampering with evidence.
02:07:50.000Supposedly there was some shootout and like he had removed shell casings from the scene of the fucking crime.
02:07:55.000How about that other judge in Pennsylvania that got accused of sending kids to jury homes?
02:09:25.000I think that area in PA is a little like that Steubenville situation, where it's all some local, good old boys type town.
02:09:34.000I'll be honest, I heard rumors while I was there.
02:09:36.000I can't confirm or deny them, and I won't say that they're true because I don't want to get sued.
02:09:40.000But the reality is that I always heard rumors that the judges in that county, or that two of them in specific, would drive drunk all the time home.
02:09:49.000And every single day a cop would follow them so that if they veered too far off the road, he would take them out, put them in his car, drive it, and then come back and get his other car.
02:12:59.000Like, here's a good example, and people have said, I'm crazy for thinking this, but Manny Pacquiao, when Manny Pacquiao fought Tim Bradley, Tim Bradley won that fight in no one's eyes, but maybe Tim Bradley's family...
02:13:13.000And a couple of people at home that really hate Manny Pacquiao.
02:13:16.000Most people saw Manny Pacquiao box his face off.
02:17:01.000But what they did was they came to him and they told him that.
02:17:04.000So if that's the case, one of two things are going on.
02:17:06.000Either it would be a double cross where he would go there thinking it was a fake fight and that dude would beat the shit out of him and he couldn't say nothing.
02:18:13.000I mean, you could come up to some guy, you know, you could take some fighter who doesn't make that much money and if he doesn't have strong ethics and you say to him, hey man, look, we want to pay a lot of money down on you losing by submission to this dude.
02:18:24.000Because, you know, the odds of him submitting you are really small.
02:18:27.000So what I want to do is set it up so that, you know, he doesn't even have to know.
02:18:32.000You just have to give him a submission.
02:18:46.000I mean, it could also happen because a guy makes a brain fart and he forgets and he leaves his neck out there and a dude snatches it up and closes it on him.
02:18:51.000But it could happen that you give your neck up.
02:18:54.000And guys do give their neck up sometimes when they want out of a fight.
02:18:57.000Chael Sonnen has publicly said that he had some issues with that in his career with pressure.
02:19:01.000That he'd be in big fights and he wound up losing by submission.
02:19:03.000It was like he felt like he gave them the submission.
02:19:06.000Like he wanted out of there, he left an arm and the guy caught the arm bar.
02:19:08.000Like he really felt like he just couldn't take the pressure.
02:19:11.000Like a subconscious thing telling you...
02:19:14.000I talked about that before about how there's a gentle complacency in failure.
02:19:41.000Because it's like, alright, you know what?
02:19:42.000I had a chance to do this, and now I don't have to feel the pressure of dealing with it.
02:19:47.000Or, I found some measure of success, and that's all I really need to deal with.
02:19:51.000I don't care about anything farther than that.
02:19:54.000I got what I wanted to get out of this game, and that's it.
02:19:57.000And if I happen to get tons of money, then fuck it.
02:20:01.000Well, you know, there's some dudes that can definitely find a way to lose.
02:20:03.000And that psychological burden of trying to get your shit together and win, sometimes it's too hard for people, so they almost look to lose to get it over with.
02:20:15.000Pressure is a strange thing, and pressure of not knowing the future, the anticipation of something happening and not being able to control it, especially when it deals with physical violence, someone kicking your ass.
02:21:47.000And then they go back to the drawing board.
02:21:48.000It's hard to say who's more intelligent.
02:21:51.000Because I admire the war machine approach, but I also admire the guy who realizes if I tap, I go back to the gym and I still have a right arm.
02:21:59.000If I don't tap, my fucking arm gets snapped, then I have to go through rehab, they're going to put bolts in my arm, they're going to fucking have to put screws in there to keep the fucking thing together.
02:22:23.000Is the guy more intelligent that taps or the guy more intelligent that says, you know what, man, I'm going to figure out a way to win this fight even though I'm in a terrible situation.
02:22:31.000And if he makes it, then he's a hero, and if he doesn't, he goes to sleep.
02:22:34.000Well, most intelligent is probably the guy who's...
02:23:20.000Yo, I had a great time when I was out there.
02:23:23.000I got to say, England to me reminds me of...
02:23:28.000Like, the same type of enthusiasm that people had in, like, the 90s for hip-hop, where they're not afraid to boo somebody.
02:23:34.000You know, you go to New York, you get, like, an obligatory clap that's just like, oh, it's like this tepid sort of loose, like, it's kind of like, you know, when your mom made you shake hands with your brother and you hated each other?
02:23:49.000It's like, hey, shake hands with your brother!
02:24:00.000But it's like the people in New York, yo, you go to like an underground hip-hop show or you go to some shit, they'll sit through an opener that they hate.
02:24:08.000This is something I... Not that I love booing or something like that.
02:26:24.000This could be someone's belief, but your belief doesn't necessarily signify that that's exactly what the world is.
02:26:31.000It's just what you believe the world is.
02:26:32.000You know, similar to the way people will flip a penny in the air, and they think, oh man, it's just 50-50, and then take the same penny and flick it across the ground.
02:26:40.000And it's not 50-50, it's 80-20 that it's going to be tails, because the face of Lincoln is a fraction of a gram heavier than the actual monument on the back.
02:27:37.000I was like, you know, Essex, Wessex, Sussex, Kent, East Anglia, Mercia, Northumbria, which was divided in half along with Strathclyde when the Scottish king decided to pledge fealty to the British king and they, Dalradia and the rest.
02:27:53.000Yo, so the dude's like, what did you get into that?
02:27:57.000I said, what made you interested in that?
02:28:00.000And I just looked and leaned over to him and I was like, you know, to be honest...
02:28:04.000I was just really tired of motherfuckers mistaking me for some kind of singer or actor every time I stepped in some place.
02:28:09.000So I wanted to get some new shit just to tell people.
02:28:13.000And he seemed to be totally cool with it.
02:28:15.000They got a great sense of humor out there.
02:33:02.000If you don't, you get stuck with shitty comedians, man.
02:33:05.000You get stuck with dudes who will step on your material, too.
02:33:08.000That's another thing that bad comics will do.
02:33:10.000Even if they're not stealing, like say if you got a bit about Mike Tyson, they'll come up with a new bit about Mike Tyson and just do it right before you so the subject is already stale by the time it gets called stepping on your material.
02:33:26.000You take a piece of what they did on their set.
02:33:28.000Maybe it won't be exactly the same thing, but you'll do the same call and response to the audience again and again, or you'll have a verse or a song about the same kind of thing, or you'll give an introduction or a speech about a song that has the same kind of connotation that somebody else will,
02:33:44.000and then that person, then the headliner gets on, and the We're almost like, oh, well, we heard this already with the openers.
02:36:17.000But I know Tony Hinchcliffe was opening up for a dude and then the dude stopped using him and started using a guy who was way worse than him.
02:36:25.000And the only thing that made any sense was that he just thought Tony was too strong.
02:39:33.000Now he's actually pinning her for real.
02:39:35.000But I couldn't very well challenge men in the audience because I'd get beaten right away.
02:39:43.000So I figured if I challenge women, there are enough women who are almost as big or as big as me who they would have a good chance to beat me.
02:39:53.000I love that he said that with a straight face.
02:42:50.000With Lee Baca, same thing, that they have like an inner culture within the sheriff, and they favored certain police officers and certain people, especially with the whole, since the sheriff controls the jail systems in California, so a lot of them are getting, you know, with corruption and bribery and It happens,
02:43:16.000Basically, I mean, you know, and the thing is, is they caught like a core of them, and they have like, what happened is, Internal Affairs hired an inmate, and he's an informant.
02:43:28.000So the inmate was getting cell phones, drugs, so they actually got an inmate to be, yeah, and he's the one that basically gave up the sheriff.
02:43:41.000And they kept finding out, so they built a whole case, you know, a few years about it, and what they did is the sheriff moved the inmate and they couldn't locate him.
02:43:48.000His attorney or his handler couldn't locate him inside the jail system.
02:43:53.000So they, you know, finally the pressure came to Sheriff Libak and he just basically turned a cheek and it took him for a while.
02:44:23.000People, like, I can't imagine all the abuses motherfuckers got away with before this camera came on.
02:44:28.000Well, the funny thing about it is the actual phone that they snuck in and gave to him, and he was sending to inmates, Was where a lot of that evidence was coming from.
02:44:36.000Because the phone, he's taking pictures of everything.
02:47:33.000But the way I feel about stand-up, if I went to see Joey Diaz, okay, he's my favorite comedian, and if Joey Diaz had someone go on in the audience and fake heckle him, and he had all these canned lines and he threw at that, and I thought it was brilliant, but then I found out that it was fake,
02:52:17.000Inside a city for it to flourish to the level it did.
02:52:20.000Could be they also had irrigation back then, too.
02:52:22.000Well, that is one suggestion, but they didn't have an aqueduct similar to the way people look at them in Roman times.
02:52:29.000I guess they may have diverted water through a stream or by damming a river, but whatever the case may be, I think people are going to start finding more and more of these things as time progresses.
02:52:41.000And I think what we're talking about also is that Oh, yeah.
02:53:13.000You know, but besides rap, I started writing a book recently.
02:53:16.000And one of them, I'm specifically going to be able to deal with this specific fact and the history of humankind that is severely underwritten.
02:53:46.000But not only that we live in, but that we're willing to live in.
02:53:51.000It reminds me of a quote from Mark Twain where he's like, you know, the difference between writing fiction and writing reality is that you have to make reality seem believable.
02:53:59.000You know, because it's so preposterous.
02:54:01.000You have to include some sort of element that brings it home.
02:54:05.000Similar to the way that a comedian will criticize society and then talk about how fucked up it is, and at the end of it say, hey, well, guess what?
02:54:27.000I think that when you look at civilizations and human development, you find...
02:54:34.000Just a series of pure savagery and then you find ennoblement in strange and almost irreconcilable places within that society.
02:54:44.000So when I look at them over the course of human evolution, I really wanted to address that and the fact that, you know, yes, we're a civilization of talking monkeys that have achieved some sort of Growth over the years, whether it's through grooming, because we place a gigantic amount of value on how we're groomed.
02:55:05.000We place a gigantic amount of value on our superstitions.
02:55:08.000In other words, if I believe something and you don't believe the same thing, I'm threatened by your belief system.
02:55:13.000Not you or me specifically, but in terms of how we communicate and how we've communicated over the years.
02:55:19.000Now, has that always been a positive thing or has it always been a negative thing?
02:55:23.000Well, when we were dividing ourselves among different actual races like Homo erectus or Homo habilis, then maybe it was a positive thing to not include these people in our society or these animals or hominids in our society because it would have created a much different strand of humanity.
