In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe talks about his love for NatureBox and the controversial nootropic drug alpha-brain, and why he thinks you should try it. Plus, he talks about the weirdest thing he's heard about genetically modified food and why it's a good thing you're not allowed to eat it. Joe also talks about how he's not a fan of GMO foods and why you shouldn't be either. And he talks a little bit about a new drug that's been around for a while, but it's not what you think it is, and it's actually pretty cool, so if you're curious about it, go check it out!

00:01:06.000So if you're looking for something that, like if you have certain dietary needs, like your gluten-free, low sugar content, stuff like that, they have that too.
00:01:14.000Whenever possible, they also try to use non-GMO food as well.
00:01:19.000You know, GMO food is a very hot topic.
00:01:21.000You want to say you're organic and GMO. No one knows what either one of those things mean.
00:01:25.000You know, there's a lot of genetically modified food, folks.
00:01:28.000Essentially, almost all corn you eat, almost all wheat you eat is genetically modified, especially wheat.
00:01:34.000Since like the 1950s, they changed the shit.
00:01:36.000That's why people are so gluten intolerant.
00:01:38.000But GMO, really genetically modified, like in a fucking lab, that's the new shit.
00:01:49.000Anyway, no high fructose corn syrup, no partially hyndrogenated oils, no trans fats, no artificial sweeteners, no artificial flavors, no artificial colors.
00:01:59.000So they make their shit as healthy as possible.
00:02:53.000We're also brought to you by Onnit.com.
00:02:55.000That's O-N-N-I-T. Makers of Alpha Brain, Shroom Tech, New Mood, all controversial nootropics and performance-enhancing drugs that are legal.
00:03:38.000For me, the big one, what it does best, is it allows me to pull up words.
00:03:42.000I feel like it allows me to form sentences more freely.
00:03:46.000And, you know, there's actually been scientific studies done on it, both in individual ingredients and there's recently been a clinical trial on AlphaBrain.
00:03:54.000All the lab results are all posted at Onnit.com.
00:03:59.000If you go to AlphaBrain, you click on that link, you can read the clinical results.
00:04:04.000We got positive results, especially on memory and execution.
00:04:09.000I have to be able to execute tasks and think about things.
00:04:12.000So what I'm saying with formulating sentences, there's a direct effect between how you can formulate sentences and how much nutrition you've had.
00:10:56.000It's beautiful, handcrafted artisanship, you know?
00:11:00.000I mean, I didn't really need a knife, but it's cool as fuck that somebody would do that, and it's cool as fuck that these guys who are listening to the podcast, they're podcast listeners, they came up with an idea for a company, and they started doing it, and now that's their job.
00:15:24.000A mountain lion's like that, but bigger.
00:15:26.000In fact, they say that, like, house cats and mountain lions are very similar in their amount of power, you know, like what they can generate per pound of body weight, which is pretty fucking crazy.
00:15:37.000When you think that a mountain lion is out there running around, like a 50 pound mountain lion would fucking kill you easy then.
00:15:43.000Yeah, that would be a bummer way to die.
00:15:45.000Do you go in the woods and hunt and stuff like that?
00:17:15.000I don't want to give up the idea of eating meat, but when you watch those PETA videos, and people can say all they want about that's a fraction of those animals.
00:19:09.000No, I see that, whereas Nat being, you know, just chilling out, waiting to, and it hasn't just seen its friends be slaughtered and hung up.
00:22:49.000It would be a different experience just to...
00:22:52.000Being in that type of life and just knowing that there's people that do that a lot, just seeing that type of the world.
00:23:00.000For my pilot for Comedy Central, I worked on a goat farm, actually, where they milked the goats.
00:23:08.000They sell goat milk and everything there, and they got the billy goats.
00:23:14.000It was really different just being in that In that environment, where these people, this is what they do for a living, and they just live off goats.
00:23:27.000They milk goats, they got goat cheese, they got goat lip balm, and this crazy thing.
00:23:41.000Yeah, I'm urbanized to the core, I think.
00:23:43.000Maybe older, you know, maybe when I get older, I would, you know, try some different stuff and do it for an extended amount of time, but right now, I'm pretty comfortable.
00:23:51.000Yeah, no, look, cities are definitely an awesome invention.
00:25:53.000Well, you know, they use that as, like, in certain slaughterhouses, they have to have a rabbi come, and they have to use a knife.
00:26:00.000Like, in the slaughterhouse, we filmed Fear Factor in a slaughterhouse, and that was the first time in my life that I recognized very clearly that places...
00:26:32.000It might be psychological, but it might also be that place is still buzzing with a million fucking slaughtered cows, freakouts, because it feels like it.
00:26:42.000It feels like a spot where if you came around that spot, if you were in the old school Game of Thrones days, and you came over a hill and you went, stop, why does this place feel fucking shitty?
00:27:14.000So, I might have just been tricking myself into thinking, a lot of people get mad sometimes at what I say, you know, you fucking, that doesn't make any sense.
00:30:32.000There's definitely times when you can fuck up.
00:30:35.000There was a professional jiu-jitsu tournament that I went to that a friend of mine was competing in, and we went to watch him and support him.
00:30:43.000And after the jiu-jitsu tournament, we went backstage, and we were...
00:30:51.000We were all on these pot edibles that this friend had given us.
00:35:04.000Yeah, choked out live's crazy, but it's also watching how goddamn good they are.
00:35:09.000You know, when you're super tuned in, you know, for people who don't get high, the idea behind it is like, well, yeah, if there's something you should get drunk and go do, it's go get drunk and watch the Super Bowl.
00:35:27.000When you watch anything like high-level athletics where two dudes have a lot at stake, which is what it is, you're so tuned in to what they're doing.
00:36:57.000If you're some dude who thinks that all men are created equal, and you get in there with Anderson Silva, that fucking guy moves like he's in another dimension.
00:37:09.000Okay, but I understand that you exercise your body, your legs, back, arms, abs, chest, you can work that, but how do you make your face strong?
00:40:21.000But I just mean, like, say a fight with Tua is against somebody and Tua is highly favored, but this other guy has his team there, you know, that everybody's hyped.
00:42:33.000It would fuck with guys because they'd get in there and you got a certain expectation of how long it's going to take before a guy hits you.
00:42:40.000So if you're here and he's here, maybe something could come here.
00:43:45.000If you and I were talking and we're having a good conversation, it's because I'm recognizing what you're saying and you're recognizing what I'm saying and we're combining our thoughts together.
00:43:59.000But you could have a conversation with some other person who just...
00:44:02.000Gets real aggressive with you and you don't want to talk because you're intimidated or you start stuttering in your words because you think this guy's going to bark at you or you're worried that you're saying something wrong because they're being very judgmental towards you.
00:44:18.000And so then the conversation takes on a completely different flow.
00:44:24.000There's movements, and there's movements that get you to react, and then there's recognizing your movements and your patterns and playing off of them, interrupting those patterns, just like when someone's argumentative and they interrupt you in mid-conversation to refute the first couple things you say, and it throws you off.
00:44:42.000You try to finish your thought, But it's not the same thought as it was because the guy blocked you.
00:44:46.000That's like a guy gets hit, but he still tries to punch the guy when the guy's out of range, knowing the guy's out of range, just to let him know.
00:44:53.000It's really essentially the same thing.
00:44:55.000So what Mayweather is in his mastery is like a masterful physical conversationalist.
00:45:53.000What I worry is that something like that would happen, and then he would wind up going to jail again.
00:45:57.000I just think the guy, if you're a boxing fan, I think he's one of the best ever.
00:46:03.000As far as an athlete, I think Mayweather's a national hero.
00:46:08.000I mean, not a national hero, like a national treasure.
00:46:10.000You know, it's like you should really pay attention to this because this is very rare that a guy is this much better than everybody around him.
00:47:14.000But I mean, no matter who he's fighting...
00:47:16.000There was a lot of Mexican flags in the stadium when I was there.
00:47:20.000That's true, but I think there's some people that pay to see him lose to anybody, whether it's Canelo Alvarez, whether it's Filipinos, whether it's Manny Pacquiao, anybody.
00:47:29.000They just want to see this motherfucker lose.
00:48:51.000I know people who did coke in the 70s, they have serious neuromuscular problems.
00:48:55.000A lot of old people that did a lot of coke way back when, they developed all sorts of weird nervous problems, weird issues with controlling their bodies.
00:49:08.000There's a direct connection that a lot of people have with what Richard Pryor went through when he was older, with all the coke that he did when he was younger.
00:50:16.000You might have eight shots of liquor, but for the most part, there's some people definitely that's on the extreme side, but you're not going to keep on just fucking hitting...
00:52:14.000Okay, when someone says I'm a legit ADD, I believe you and I'm not questioning you, but you're talking about the effects of a stimulant, though.
00:52:25.000I mean, when people do stimulants, that's what happens.
00:52:43.000But I have much more energy and just focus and I just handle stuff.
00:52:45.000Whereas I normally, you know, I'll get on the internet and just, I'll go, you know, on my computer with plants and just end up dicking around on Twitter or looking at, I'll get caught up in a YouTube wormhole, you know what I mean?
00:53:37.000But if you get three hours and you're like, fuck, I've got to do a bunch of shit today, you can take one of these Nuvagils and it's not like coffee.
00:54:54.000And then I can kind of, I know sometimes now I've learned how to, you got to take an interview over sometimes or go on a, not go on a rant, but you have to not let them.
00:55:03.000You know, just because they can get into that, cutting off your jokes, and, hey, funny man, Hannibal Buress, and just cutting you off with their weirdos.
00:55:10.000So just learning how to do that and just having the energy and focus to be able to is real helpful.
00:55:16.000Yeah, the morning radio thing, if, like, they're good, it's great.
00:56:45.000Do you ever do those radio tours where you have to call, like, ten different people and then you realize, like, eight of them have the same voice?
00:58:39.000I've been trying to analyze this for many years, and I think with strip club DJs, it's like no one wants to hear a dude talking while girls are dancing naked.
00:59:50.000See, now I'm weighing the potential dangers of going to a black strip club in Atlanta with the entertainment aspect of how amazing it must be.
01:00:21.000I don't know the names of them, but you go to somewhere, Magic City or a few other ones in Atlanta, The DJ is important and makes the strippers more money.
01:00:35.000And the strippers probably end up tipping out the DJ at the end of the night.
01:04:52.000Where I've had people that say they saw my stuff online or they saw stuff on TV, but then they saw me live and they're like, oh shit, live, it was crazy.
01:04:59.000So it is just, it's hard to translate the true energy that's in the room and just that type of thing.
01:05:07.000Yeah, they don't tune into you when they're watching a video.
01:05:10.000They're just getting the words and the performance and they're laughing, but they're not tuning into you.
01:05:14.000There's some dudes, like, you'll see them on stage, like Brian Callen is a perfect example.
01:05:18.000Brian Callen, like, if you watch him in a video, he's hilarious, but if you watch him live, that dude, like, you tune into him.
01:05:37.000Club set or theater set, you didn't get to see how they entered and how they commanded the room at the beginning and what they did at the beginning to allow them to be able to go to a weird place later where the audience already has that trust.
01:05:50.000So it's a lot of different elements to live stand-up that get lost in the internet and TV, yeah.
01:05:55.000That's a great point, the building up.
01:05:59.000I've had friends that were just starting out, and they'll do something like, they have a bit, and they'll do this bit right away.
01:07:38.000They demand more and just, you know, the best black comics has just been great performers, you know what I mean?
01:07:45.000So you talk about, yeah, just Red Foxx and Richard Pryor and Bernie, like these guys were not only, you know, great joke writers and stuff, but they performed and they were crushed.
01:07:55.000And so it's just a higher standard for a performer.
01:07:59.000Also, in black clubs or black showcase nights, the host is usually the star of the show a lot of the time.
01:08:09.000Where on the road in an improv or funny bone, The MC is local.
01:08:14.000Sometimes he's good, but for the most part, the host is not going to be that great, which is not cool because that's who's setting the tone for the show.
01:08:23.000That's who the first person in the audience is seeing.
01:08:25.000They got babysitters and all that, and the host, the first person on stage is eh.
01:08:30.000Whereas the host usually has a local following, is great, crushes, does 20 or 30 up top sometimes.
01:09:15.000Yeah, I was, I mean, I wouldn't say there was black crowds that gave me a shit, but I'm a little bit higher energy now than I was in my first CD, but that's just from playing, oh shit, that's just from playing bigger venues.
01:10:06.000It's very interesting because I needed to get a new iPhone last week and I went in there faded and the worst person in the world is a drunk with a customer service issue.
01:14:31.000This is like a long-standing art form.
01:14:33.000It's almost like a samurai sword type of thing, where there's certain artists that are preferred over other artists, certain artisans that have a long history passed down from father to son.
01:27:18.000Think about when they would have those gigantic town executions and they would use the guillotine and cut someone's fucking head off in the town square.
01:27:26.000We just think that people used to do that.
01:27:52.000But as the oxygen in your brain is slowly leaking out, you're conscious for probably not a few minutes, but probably at least a few seconds.
01:28:00.000Well, you say, man, that is fucked up.
01:28:02.000Yeah, you're looking up at a basket, and you're like, oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me.
01:30:07.000Yeah, there's some crazy cartel videos.
01:30:09.000There's cartel videos of them using chainsaws and cutting dudes' heads off.
01:30:12.000But almost, I mean, I know how fucked up it is to cut your girlfriend's head off for cheating, but in that, you almost understand it.
01:30:20.000No, no, no, I'm talking about in their world, where you're talking about Latin machismo and also being a cartel leader and your girlfriend and everybody knowing that she cheated.
01:30:31.000Like, he had to maintain his cartel shit.
01:36:30.000But if you couldn't drive for some strange reason.
01:36:33.000Like, I'm injured and I need somebody to take me to the hospital.
01:36:36.000The only person is the coke friend or the drunk friend.
01:36:39.000Coke friend is taking me to the hospital.
01:36:40.000Yeah, or you're on The Walking Dead and you get picked up on the side of the road and you're just happy it's not a zombie and it's a dude who's on coke.
01:42:13.000You know, I mean, like, if somebody got a weird tooth, it's just the same reason why, you know, if your car got hit in the front headlight and smashed in a little bit, the car still runs well, but you want that shit fixed because it looks dumb.
01:45:51.000And so it's just subjective, you know what I mean?
01:45:53.000People, you know, people, it's just subjective.
01:45:56.000Some people's eyes like different things, some people have different aesthetics and just tastes, and that's what it is.
01:46:02.000Because I thought those shoes were gross, and I will never wear, I still won't ever wear them, but there's some people that might like those shoes.
01:48:32.000I got my first tailored suit a few weeks ago for this event I did for the Bulls in Chicago.
01:48:37.000So I needed a suit last minute, so I splurged on a suit and got a nice one, and it was killer, and I'm making sure that I wear as many events as I can just to get my money's worth for the suit.
01:48:48.000That's a sign of being a grown-up, man.
01:49:34.000But for my special, my first one I just wore a button-up, and then my latest one, I wore a jacket over, I wore a nice jacket over a t-shirt, which is just, this is amazing, because people, like, that's just jeans and t-shirt, but you put a jacket,
01:49:49.000people are like, holy shit, you look great!
01:49:52.000Yeah, I just put a jacket over my regular shit.
01:49:57.000A jacket makes you look like you're a professional.
01:50:01.000It's funny how clothes will determine how people just approach you and just how people treat you and how people talk to you and how people respond to the shit.
01:50:09.000You have to say a jacket or a suit will just change everything.
01:52:11.000If you wear flip-flops and a dude is wearing a suit, he automatically is one-upping you.
01:52:17.000And you could be a rich fucking dude, unless you got a crazy fat watch.
01:52:21.000If you show up, if you're checking into a fancy hotel and you're wearing the flip-flops, but you got some stupid fucking gigantic $20,000 watch on your arm, and people know it, and you're gesturing with your hands a lot, it's this big fucking chunky diamond-crusted watch,
01:52:37.000like, oh, okay, we gotta listen to this guy.
01:53:33.000Whereas my girl, when she'll fly first, like, I hear about her, she'll tell me, I talk to this business guy, blah, blah, blah, and I met this rapper who was on the plane with me, and this first, like, these people will just babble minds to her.
01:53:46.000Babble minds is a term my cousin made, where people just talk to you when you don't want them to talk.
01:53:50.000Or people monopolize the conversation.
01:54:05.000Me and Tommy Segura were on a flight once, and this woman, who was the attendant on the flight, she gave us the most unbelievable ear-beating I've ever experienced in my life.
01:55:45.000She's worked her way from the quote from the movie Sideways to a story about a dude with wine, to a story about her ex-husband, and it's a fucking murderous assault on the eardrums.
01:55:56.000Probably Tom was probably so punch drunk at the time where he couldn't think, wait, shoulda went to the bathroom.
01:56:02.000Well, Tommy had a really interesting point, because Tommy, I abandoned him and I left him to be slaughtered by her, and he developed a psychological profile of her.
01:56:11.000And so he said, I think, because we were on a small plane, it was a small flight, and he goes, I think the reason why this lady's on a small flight is because other ladies don't want to work with her.
01:56:20.000So they stick her on these small flights where she works by herself because she's clueless.
01:56:25.000Because she doesn't know when to shut the fuck up and everybody wants to get away from her.
01:56:28.000So they just stick her on these little flights.
01:56:30.000So it's like one hour, hour and a half type flight or something like that?
01:58:25.000Like, I'll go to take a leak, don't get me wrong, because a lot of times I'll have a cup of coffee there, I'll have a couple of bottles of water, you want to keep hydrated while you're screaming and yelling.
01:58:33.000So I will get up and go to take a leak.
02:03:01.000Love situation with some woman, apparently, and he just got, just ruined everything, ruined his life, ruined his work, just got messed up with some chick, and then decide to, in quotes, destroy his sexuality.
02:03:14.000Now, I don't know if that's true or not, but You're talking about a guy, Nikola Tesla, who is a crazy genius inventor who also was in love with a pigeon.
02:03:23.000Thought this pigeon, he was in love with this pigeon.
02:03:25.000Had this weird romantic interest in a pigeon before he died.
02:06:41.000Basically, almost every one of these studies shows it's about 5'10 for now in the U.S., which is interesting because it's definitely gone up.
02:07:55.00014,000 years ago, there was little people that lived alongside human beings that looked just like you or I. And they were these little tiny, like, hobbit-like creatures.
02:08:11.000Like, there's an image of Homo floriensis that they made, the hobbit man, in this island of Flores.
02:08:18.000They found one and they thought it was, like, maybe a child's bone or something like that.
02:08:22.000But then they realized that it was structurally different than human beings, and they thought it might have been just an aberration, like someone who had some sort of a disorder, and then they started finding more of them, and they found out that they buried their young.
02:08:32.000They would find little graveyards and shit.
02:09:50.000Well, apparently there was a bunch of people that lived in Russia, too, as recently as I think it was 40,000 years ago that were completely different than Homo sapiens, too.
02:10:19.000It's a really interesting place because it's, first of all, incredibly clean and unbelievably polite and, like, really almost crime-free completely.
02:10:29.000When you walk on the streets, you don't worry about shit.
02:10:31.000I mean, you're in a major metropolitan area like Tokyo, and it seems like the most peaceful place on Earth.
02:10:41.000People are like, whether it's shopkeepers or restaurant owners, or like when you're walking on the street, you don't have any sense of chaos like you have in New York City.
02:10:58.000DNA reveals lost relative from 40,000 years ago.
02:11:02.000Russian researchers dug up a sliver of human finger bone from an isolated Siberian cave.
02:11:08.000The team stored it away for later testing, assuming the nondescript fragment came from one of those Neanderthals who left a welter of tools.
02:11:28.000In a cave between 30 and 48,000 years ago, nothing about the bones seemed extraordinary, but the genetic material told a different story.
02:11:36.000When the German researchers extracted and sequenced the DNA from the fossil, they found that it did not match that of Neanderthals or of modern human beings, which were also living nearby at the time.
02:11:47.000So new genetic data reveal that the bone may belong to a previously unrecognized extinct human species that migrated out of Africa long before our known relatives.
02:13:23.000Well, they found evidence of tuna bones.
02:13:28.000And tuna are deep sea fish, so someone had to go out there and get these motherfuckers.
02:13:33.000The earliest known boats found in France and Neanderthal are only 10,000 years old, but archaeologists know that they don't tell the whole story.
02:13:40.000Wood and other common boat-building materials don't preserve well in the archaeological record, and the colonization of Australia and the nearby...
02:13:48.000Islands of Southeast Asia, which began at least 45,000 years ago, required sea crossings of at least 30 kilometers.
02:13:56.000So they know that 45,000 years ago, someone had a boat that could go about 60 miles.
02:14:39.000So 30 kilometers, probably 20-ish miles, in a boat 45,000 years ago.
02:14:46.000Yet whether these early migrants put out to sea deliberately in boats or simply drifted from the tides in rafts meant for near-shore exploration as a matter of fierce debate.
02:16:48.000They would just show you how you would create a house, and this is how you go catch fish, and this is how you protect yourself from rainstorms.
02:16:56.000But one dude, everywhere he went, he would go barefoot.
02:19:33.000No, Bruce Lee wore that Game of Death outfit, and if you see anybody in a yellow tracksuit with black stripes, you automatically think of Bruce Lee.
02:19:41.000Remember when he fought Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and he had the tracksuit?
02:22:57.000So if your lifestyle can sustain that, you know, going out there and waiting for two hours and taking a shot and skinning it and then cutting it and putting it on the grill and doing all that, then it's cool.
02:23:11.000But, you know, the reason food is processed how it is is because people don't have time to be fucking with that.
02:23:25.000And I wonder if that is all a part of the process that's going to lead people to develop artificial food that's just like food that you get from animals.
02:23:34.000Because they've already figured out how to do that.
02:23:42.000$250,000 or something like that to create this meat that they grew in a test tube or in a laboratory somewhere.
02:23:48.000But I think that maybe that's the first echoes of this sort of cultural shift from being hunter-gatherers to being able to go to the grocery store to there's no need to kill an animal because we're going to make artificial meat and everybody would just eat scientifically created meat that's totally nutritious and healthy.
02:24:10.000They'll fuck it up for a couple years and some people get some weird Crohn's disease and shit like that from the artificial meat, but then eventually they'll get it down so it's even more nutritious than like wild game.
02:24:22.000I don't know if I want to go that route.
02:24:25.000I don't know either, but I think it's inevitable.
02:24:32.000There's a reason why people find hunting distasteful.
02:24:34.000Even some people that eat meat, they don't even want to know how the animal dies, they don't want to be a part of it, they certainly don't want to see a video, and they definitely don't want to go shoot an animal.
02:24:49.000Because I think that's like the bridge between us and then the new us, which just figures out how to do everything synthetically.
02:24:57.000Just recreate it, just like they could recreate everything.
02:25:00.000I mean, they're going to recreate people, for sure.
02:25:02.000If we stay alive for another thousand years, if human beings are still on this planet a thousand years from now, we will have artificial humans that are indistinguishable.
02:25:34.000If you pay attention to guys like Ray Kurzweil and all these futurists that are at the cusp of technology that really understand what innovations are being created...
02:27:17.000Yeah, the idea that those people lived 600 years, that's hilarious.
02:27:21.000But what if, back then, what was going on is they were super technologically advanced, and then the flood came along and fucked everything up, and they had to start from scratch.
02:27:31.000And what if Noah really was 600 years old?
02:27:34.000Because Noah was a part of an ancient civilization that was far more advanced.
02:29:28.000Yeah, this is also a much more ridiculous place to get hoodwinked.
02:29:33.000You know, we're not living in some backwards fucking crazy culture that's run by some, well, sort of are, but not as much so as these ancient cultures.
02:30:35.000Probably by face if he's a religious dude.
02:30:38.000He's one of the most ridiculous all-time dudes, but he would, like, in the middle of his broadcast, just totally, completely, obviously fake language that he was making up on the spot, very repetitive, very unlike a real language that varies in tone and sounds.
02:32:07.000I'll go to my message board right now, and I guarantee you there is a photo up on my message board that says, Bam Bam, we're eating ham, and it shows you.
02:32:17.000Or you, because that's your catchphrase.
02:33:34.000The beauty is of Twitter and things like that too is I find out about new music or I find out about news and different things or if I'm in New York, you know, I might just search.
02:33:45.000I'll search, or the city that I'm in, I'll just search This city, events, and I'll find out this person is playing a concert.
02:33:53.000I didn't even know they were playing a concert, but I found out about it through Twitter.
02:33:56.000Or just saying, hey, what's the best restaurant here in Denver?
02:34:00.000And then people give you restaurant suggestions, and then you go, and then it's great.
02:34:57.000Yeah, and it's good to, like, issues with fans, like, I had one where my special in Chicago, some other, yeah, when I shot the special, the ticket price was kind of low, so it got scalped kind of heavy.
02:35:11.000It got scalped, and then scalpers were online saying, I mean, people would write me saying, I want to come to your show, but, you know, fuck it, I'm paying $200 for this scalper.
02:35:38.000I just have angry fans buying scalp tickets, which probably still is some, angry fans buying scalp tickets, but I was able to at least, in a couple situations where shows have been sold out or shows have been getting scalped, I'm able to put somebody on my guest list just if they donate to that charity.
02:38:57.000She's a great singer, but then she also interacts with the crowd in a way where she'll just put a random crowd member's face into her titties while she's in the middle of a song and she'll walk around.
02:39:16.000Where it's a live act, where you can watch it on, you might have videos up, you can watch it, and you're like, that's cool, but you see her live, it's like, holy shit!
02:39:26.000Like, I remember watching people watch, I like to watch how, you know, you see people's reaction.
02:39:31.000I remember seeing some cats that only come and usually see stand-up in my show, but they were watching her like, What the fuck is going on?
02:41:57.000It's a way for me to kind of stay, you know, because once you headline and just go out on the road, it's easy to kind of get...
02:42:04.000Out of touch with who, you know, so it'll be comics that only been doing it for a year on the same show with, you know, Chris Rock or somebody.
02:42:13.000So it's good to just see everybody and just, you know, I still like the...
02:42:19.000The structure of putting together a show, just knowing I should have this person on earlier, and now to flow good into this, and this person should go second half.
02:42:27.000So I still book it myself and everything.
02:43:51.000Also, I just want, I like giving people, I get, just because my ticket prices just started to go up, so I feel nervous, so I want to give people as much of the show as possible, so I got to have a musician.
02:44:02.000I have a DJ with me, because I do musical stuff during my set where I talk about different rap songs.
02:44:17.000So yeah, I enjoy just trying to introduce audiences to new people and also just figure out just how to put on just a real show that people want to come back to.
02:44:31.000It's all about making people want to talk about it when I come back to their city wanting to come again.
02:44:36.000Well, you're doing it because I keep hearing great things, man.
02:46:54.000And now I'm known from doing shows that a situation like that, all it takes is for somebody from the band to either side stage on the mic or even come out and say, hey, we're going to be out in a little bit.
