What are you missing out of your life if you re not playing Lumosity or Angry Birds? It s a game that challenges your brain and does it like a game so it s fun, and over time you can actually track your progress online and compare yourself to others. If you re one of those motherfucking people that has to compare themselves to others, then you re probably not the smartest man in the world. I remember a guy who got a good number on a Mensa test, but he s good at figuring out how to count up numbers. No, he s not. And he s a bouncer in a bar in Long Island. And think he s some sort of a rebel. He s a rebel because he thinks he s the smartest guy in the whole world. And I m like, "Uh, no I'm not. I m not." And that s why I m quitting my job as a security guard at one point in my life, because I m going to play the game Lumosity and see if I can beat Angry Birds at its old game called "The Game". And guess what, it s actually pretty cool and fun to play! We re also going to talk about the new Warrior Bar, which is made out of organic buffalo meat and cranberries, and it s the bomb. It s 14 grams of delicious, nutritious meat that s better than that you can eat for 14 grams and 14g of fat and carbs. And it s good for you than most other shit you ve been eating for the past week? We ve got a lot of food that s actually tastes like that, but it s a lot better than you ve eaten in a way that s good enough to make you feel like you re gonna feel good and feel good about it. You re not going to want to eat it? That s right, you re going to feel good, y'all. We re gonna eat it, you ll be better off eating it, so you ll eat it. That s gonna feel yummy, yayeeaaayeeeeeee! . You ll feel better, yeeeeee. - Joe -Joe - Joe - The Joe Rogan Podcast - THE JOE JOSEPH EPISODES - SONGS - PODCAST EPISODE - CHEERS - LAURENS - JOE
00:01:18.000It only takes a few minutes a day, and over time you can actually track your progress online and compare yourself to others if you're one of those motherfuckers that has to compare yourself to others.
00:01:27.000There was this one guy, I remember this documentary about one of the smartest men in the world, and he worked as a bouncer in a bar in Long Island.
00:01:38.000You're not because you work as a bouncer in a bar and like on.
00:01:41.000You're just not the fucking smartest guy in the world.
00:01:43.000And he was this guy who was rambling on and on.
00:01:45.000He was super verbose and using a lot of big words and going on about, you know, he's the first guy ever that's come the closest to ultimate meaning.
00:02:40.000I'm not above, don't get me wrong, but you can't claim smartest guy in the world and that's where you found yourself, at 40. So shut your hole.
00:03:03.000You know, ordinarily it would feel just like games, but these games actually are scientifically designed through something called neuroplasticity, which I'm too stupid to understand.

00:06:57.000It was just the whole city just shut down.
00:06:59.000I mean, if they don't have the, you know, the salt trucks and all that stuff, and if people don't know how to drive it, they really shouldn't, you know?
00:07:32.000Nashville's interesting because when you first get there, it's such an open community, and people welcome you in, and everyone's sweet, and you have friends, and all of a sudden, you go out to a bar and you know people.
00:07:41.000But there's a difference when you see people you've been with for eight years, ten years.
00:08:12.000The days feel longer because you're not stuck in your car trying to get here to there like you do in LA. Everything is really accessible, which is great because as far as our productivity and working on the record, which is kind of why we went there, to write and have all this space.
00:10:36.000Somebody tweeted me something with some woman, you know, that was talking about that dinosaurs must have probably drowned, and she wasn't trolling.
00:10:43.000That Noah didn't have room for them on the ark, so they probably all drowned.
00:10:48.000It was on her Facebook page and someone sent me a tweet, can you believe this silly bitch?
00:10:52.000And it was to her Facebook page because it was so ridiculous that random people that didn't even know her were going to her Facebook page and be like, bitch, are you fucking crazy?
00:14:05.000The beautiful thing about what you guys do is, you fucking talk amongst yourselves.
00:14:10.000You say you want more of this, and he says he wants more of that, and together you find some sort of a happy medium and you create your shit.
00:14:16.000Could you imagine if you had a bunch of money people?
00:14:19.000Well, I'm not saying it's easy at all.
00:20:23.000Hey, little girls love princesses, man.
00:20:25.000There's nothing you can do about that.
00:20:26.000There's this rapper that has the second best song, but he's like, man, I could have had the number one song if it wasn't because of the Frozen soundtrack.
00:20:35.000Frozen's a good fucking movie, man, for little kids.
00:20:38.000It's not a good movie for adults, but as an adult, you can enjoy it.
00:20:42.000I find that there's a lot of these movies that they're made for little kids, but they do a really good job, and you can actually sit and enjoy the movie with your kids.
00:22:08.000Because, I'll be honest with you, I'm not going to get into details, but I had a real solid shattering of my idealism in my adulthood that was really intense.
00:22:50.000Sells it like hotcakes and all these like kind of little hipster stores in California and it's published and it's a really interesting look at, you know, choosing a partner for, you know, when you're a kid and just sort of rather than like Prince German comes in on a...
00:24:49.000That witch, she took Rapunzel, cut her hair off, and pretended that the guy was climbing her hair, and then pushed him off, and he got blinded.
00:28:59.000Anybody tells you I was raised correctly, I point to that and go, do you think an eight-year-old should be able to just walk down the street and not tell anybody where he's going?
00:30:21.000Yeah, apparently he was like a known pedo, and they would have to watch him when he would go to the library because he'd go scouting around for kids.
00:35:16.000I just think there's no better place for me to figure things out.
00:35:20.000Like anytime I have real problems in my life, anytime there's any disputes or anytime I'm doing something I don't want to be doing, I get in that tank and it sort of provides me with the resources to come up with the right answers.
00:35:33.000Because other than that tank, you don't get alone time like that.
00:35:36.000You never get alone time from your body.
00:36:38.000So when was it that you discovered that you in fact actually were Jason Bourne?
00:36:43.000You know, the first Jason Bourne movies I enjoyed, but the new one with that fucking guy, Jeremy Renner, there's too much fake karate going on.
00:36:53.000There's too much shit that the body can't do.
00:38:04.000And the end of the movie is so symbolic of the neutering of the American male that even these super badass murdering superstars sit on the boat together and they're sitting across from each other.
00:43:04.000I mean, for women, yeah, most certainly.
00:43:06.000But it's also like, think about the fantasies that exist for men, the really unrealistic fantasies of, you know, you order a pizza and the pizza girl comes over and she's wearing a bikini and next thing you know, she's blowing you and your friend, you know, and you're both banging her.
00:45:18.000It's fiction, and it's kind of a spin.
00:45:23.000There's a lot of 1984, kind of, like, the author is, you know, truly a Orwell fan, and there's just kind of a lot of nuances as far as, like, this kind of, I don't want to say apocalyptic,
00:46:43.000So when I'm reading it in public and I'm sitting on an airplane, I feel like I pull the book closer to myself because I'm just like, oh my God, what if...
00:47:53.000So they decided to make a movie and have...
00:47:55.000Why is it okay to have a sex scene where you don't see sex?
00:47:59.000But when you have a sex scene where you see sex, they were angry at him because he made them watch that.
00:48:05.000I was listening to this man and these two women talk about it, and their specific point was that they were angry that he made them watch that.
00:48:17.000If they were watching the movie, everybody had to know that that was happening.
00:48:21.000I think they were one of the first people to see it, and I think everybody that went in to see that movie knew there was a controversial thing like that had gotten out, but I don't think they realized.
00:48:31.000You're going to watch Vincent Gallo literally put his dick in a girl's mouth, and it was a long scene.
00:48:37.000It wasn't like for a brief American Werewolf in London, you see the wolf, and then it cuts to black.
00:48:42.000No, this is like, it wasn't just you saw his dick and you saw her mouth and then cut, you know, that might have been...
00:48:48.000So I guess, do you think that, I mean, I didn't see the movie, so I don't really have the point of reference.
00:48:52.000I didn't either, but I watched the one scene.
00:48:53.000But I mean, do you think that that was like, hey, I want to do this just to do this, or do you think it was really a form of artistic expression?
00:49:00.000I personally think it was a form of artistic expression that he also wanted to do.
00:49:35.000And in me being aware that you're aware that you're awesome in doing that, there's a certain amount of inherent dick-wagging.
00:49:41.000It's one of the reasons why people have, like, an almost automatic distaste for some famous men, or some powerful men, or men that are in the public spotlight.
00:49:50.000It's because they know they have to be at least somewhat enamored of themselves, which is a form of dick-wagging.
00:49:55.000So when you're doing that dick-wagging, and then you're also sticking your dick in Chloe's vagina-zizzi's mouth...
00:50:07.000You're dickwagon because you're up there on the big screen and you're dickwagon because you're standing there in these ridiculous fucking tailored weird clothes because you want to be interesting with your fucking handmade shoes.
00:51:32.000And then, you know, keep pushing the envelope.
00:51:35.000But I think, you know, an actual sex scene in a non-quote-unquote-pornographic film, it's like, all of a sudden all the filmmakers are like, oh, what the fuck?
00:51:45.000You know, why'd you, you totally like, you know.
00:51:47.000Like cheating almost, you can do that?
00:51:48.000And now everybody's paying attention to it?
00:56:40.000It's so cool to see the people in her position who figured out, okay, I've had a successful music career, but I can just branch out now and create this whole universe of Sheryl Crow.
00:59:42.000You know, that's the one most surprising thing about all this, is not just the connection to all these people that we've somehow or another fostered, but how nice they are.
01:00:46.000I'm like, why would they be a dick to you?
01:00:47.000Well, we've seen a little bit of that.
01:00:49.000You see people, not even with us necessarily, we tour with other acts, and people at the merch booth get aggressive with whoever's signing and say, hey, this is what I want.
01:00:57.000Basically, you owe this to me, that kind of mentality.
01:01:38.000I mean, you get to reveal these really amazing parts of yourself and your mind on your podcast.
01:01:46.000And I think that's such a great thing about what you're doing and what, you know, most podcasts, if they're good ones, you know, you create good conversation.
01:02:12.000And because of that, you kind of get to see who everybody really is.
01:02:16.000If it was really produced, and there was all these fast edits, and there was all this, you know, really pre-planned segments, and it would feel...
01:02:27.000You might enjoy it still, but you wouldn't feel like you'd know the people that well.
01:02:31.000And people that are stuck in some shit spot, wherever the fuck you are, if you're in Bangor, Maine, or not to besmirch Bangor, it's a fine community.
01:02:40.000But if you're anywhere, if you're in some weird spot and you don't have a lot of cool people around you, you can listen to Honey Honey Talk.
01:02:49.000There's a bunch of people that you're going to get to listen to the way they think.
01:02:53.000And I know for a fact that part of who I am has been formed by listening to people far smarter and more experienced in my self-talk.
01:03:01.000And that their thoughts shaped my reality.
01:03:05.000And so to be able to introduce other people to...
01:03:10.000The thoughts and ideas that have shaped my reality, my thoughts and ideas that I've gotten from those thoughts and ideas, and other people's thoughts and ideas that continue to shape my reality.
01:03:20.000It's not just me putting on a show, it's me being a part of it, and the audience be a part of it too.
01:03:28.000I think that it's an incredible thing that you're doing that and you're continuing to do that because if the majority of people are watching bullshit reality shows, you know, where they're scripted and staged and they're supposed to be these candid examples...
01:03:46.000It really annoys me, you know, like Real Housewives.
01:03:48.000And it's like trying to make something like, oh, you're wearing the same dress as me or whatever the fuck be important and I'm going to fight you.
01:05:23.000And he was also talking about how fortunate he is, personally, to do what he does, but all these self-deprecating throws to poverty in it, and all this nonsense in it.
01:05:32.000Essentially what he was doing was he was writing a thing that was downplaying greatness and inspiration.
01:05:41.000And when someone says follow your passion, you know, if anybody that says don't do that is a fucking idiot.
01:05:48.000If you love making guitars, okay, and you just love guitars, you love making guitars, and you say, God, I would love to make guitars for a living.
01:08:02.000But, you know, I mean, but his, all of his, you know, I was talking, one of the things that Richard Brown said, you should have a couch in your kitchen.
01:08:08.000And this guy was, like, taking issue with if your kitchen is big enough to have a couch in it.
01:11:00.000So recently, I saw this article on Beanie Babies, and there's a collection in my parents' basement given to us by my grandparents when we were kids.
01:11:11.000My grandma would send us the Princess Diana Beanie Baby, and there's like a hundred of them.
01:11:18.000And so I was like, I was like, Ma, Ma, I'm gonna go in the basement.
01:13:25.000You know, there's certain like old Barracudas that are worth over a million dollars.
01:13:30.000And it's just a Plymouth, a shitty old Plymouth.
01:13:34.000And the ones they want are the ones that are completely stocked.
01:13:39.000Like, no new wheels, no new tires, no new interior, everything stock, everything from the factory, little push-button radio, and people will pay exorbitant amounts of money.
01:16:47.000Whether it's mother and son, whether it's father and daughter, whether it's brothers and sisters, whether it's friends and neighbors, no one gets along 100% of the time.
01:18:15.000You can be quick with your words, whatever, and say mean shit, but that's kind of pointless.
01:18:21.000At the end of the day, usually you're fighting, depending on who you're fighting with, but it's your loved ones, at least in my disposition.
01:18:44.000Ebony and I Because we have to fight so hard for, sometimes, not all the time, for this union, for our project and what we care about so much.
01:18:59.000And so you have to be a good listener, and you have to be humble, and you have to put your fucking foot in your mouth sometimes.
01:19:06.000And when I approach a confrontation with my sister or my mom, my family and I, we love each other.
01:19:29.000But the point is that if you approach any conflict or confrontation, literally, and I'm not trying to be weird, with love, and you're like, I love this person, and you listen...
01:19:41.000I think more often than not, you can really come to a resolve or just a better understanding of that person.
01:19:47.000You will continue to learn more about people in your life.
01:19:49.000It's not like you have this all-encompassing knowledge of somebody.
01:19:53.000And that's the useful side of fighting, too, because then we're hammering shit out that makes us not get along.
01:19:58.000Maybe we'll get along more in the future.
01:20:15.000But there was one moment where we're heading out to some party and I guess she was stressed out or something like that so she yelled at me like out of nowhere.
01:20:25.000And this is the first time she ever yelled at me and I go, hey listen, we can't talk like this.
01:20:30.000You can't have this conversation with me like this.
01:20:37.000I go, if you're my friend, I go, why would you yell at me?
01:20:41.000You don't yell at me if you're more concerned with it just exploding, throwing up your own energy than you are with the repercussions it's going to have on the people around you.
01:20:53.000That's an ultimately very selfish thing to do.
01:20:55.000And I go, we can't ever talk like that.
01:24:05.000You can, but, you know, neuroplasticity is all nice and good, but if you're that fucked up, I recommend MDMA. I don't think that neuroplasticity is really going to fucking get you to the dance.
01:24:16.000Just kind of blast it all into pieces?
01:24:19.000It makes you understand love in a weird, pure form, you know?
01:24:22.000I mean, and people could say it's a drug, but that drug, by the way, exists in everyone's brain right now as we speak.
01:24:29.000What you're dealing with with dopamine and MDMA is elevated dopamine levels, elevated feelings of love and passion and connection to each other.
01:25:19.000You're looking at 15,000 people that are in this huge football arena and they're dancing around and touching each other and having a great fucking time.
01:25:29.000Why are they having such a great time?
01:25:30.000How come they can get together and smoosh up like that and no one's a dick?
01:25:52.000Like, back to our primitive tribal selves, like, you know, when there would be, like, rain dances and the tribes would dance and they would all move together, you know, there would be this collective sort of consciousness that people would have coalescing between them.
01:27:46.000We had a show last week in St. Paul, and every once in a while we just get to play to a group of about 300 people.
01:27:53.000You know, being seated with our music helps because when we're a duo it's not really rhythmically heavy.
01:28:00.000So you have a seated group of people and they're just so willing and kind of vulnerable to us taking charge and there's this energy that goes way beyond what we can do.
01:28:10.000And all of a sudden, it's a show between us and them, and they're putting in more than we are.
01:28:15.000And those experiences, I don't know, they haven't happened as often as we'd like, but they seem to be happening more, and it's an amazing feeling.
01:28:25.000It's kind of a weightlessness when you're performing.
01:28:27.000You don't have to think about it anymore.
01:33:40.000No, it's not lame, but if a lot of your friends are around and they're like football players or something like that, don't play it in front of them.
01:34:40.000Look, it's on tape, so we can't go back on it.
01:34:42.000Anytime you're anywhere, every time you're anywhere, unless I'm hunting in Alaska, which I will be doing soon, I'm going to the Brooks Range to fuck up a moose's day.
01:35:18.000Well, Steve Rinella, who's the host of this show that I do called The Meat Eater, I've done his show twice and I'm committing to doing it like four times a year where we go out and hunt.
01:37:28.000You need a really good hunting rifle and a good guide, but this place, Tejon Ranch, is, like I said, an hour and a half north of L.A., and it's enormous.
01:37:54.000I've been thinking about it, though, honestly, because I started eating meat again, and I just realized, like, if I'm willing to take this shit shrink-wrapped from a freezer in a store, I need to be okay with killing this.
01:38:05.000Well, while we speak, I have a ham that's brining that I shot a couple of months ago.
01:39:12.000Then the next guy's got a fucking loose head.
01:39:14.000So they have their superworm 18 that just goes from cadaver to cadaver?
01:39:17.000Well, there's this thing that they do where you can get a head mounted after you shoot a deer, like a trophy.
01:39:24.000You can get it mounted, and they take it, and they put glass eyes in it, and they leave the skin on, and they do a taxidermy thing, which is a little odd.
01:39:35.000So where were you when you shot this guy?
01:41:33.000They're starting to make their way closer and closer towards Paris, and they're really worried right now that there might be a moment in the somewhat near future when wolves once again are in Paris.
01:43:18.000There's an issue right now where wolves are getting closer and closer to Paris, and they're worried about wolves re-emerging in Paris because they have very strict environmental...
01:47:05.000One of the things we were talking about recently that I find very encouraging about this new tech money is that these guys, whether it's the Google people or the Facebook people, they seem ethical.
01:47:21.000You know, they seem, they're making a shitload of money, but their intentions seem fairly pure.
01:47:28.000Yeah, and it's gotten more serious just from this purchase, where before it was still kind of like, you know, not many people knew about it.
01:50:29.000When he went down, there was a trembling pull.
01:50:39.000Then they came far and wide to the funeral.
01:50:46.000When the people showed up, they were broken willed.
01:50:53.000They drank all day and For that big man, baby Down by the river and the railroad tracks Baby ain't happy that he's gone But now I won't bring him back to life now I
01:51:55.000You can cry your head off, baby Let it roll right off your bones It's all part of some big plan, maybe But no one should ever die long No one should ever die long Bones buried young Bones buried deep
01:52:25.000Bones that won't shake Now lay to sleep And he looks down Oh, he looks up He was a good man That was enough Sing for that big man,
01:52:53.000baby Down by the river and the railroad tracks Baby ain't happy that he's gone That won't bring him back to life now Sing for that big man, baby Down by the river and the railroad tracks Baby ain't happy that he's gone That won't bring him back to life now God damn!
01:54:05.000It's easy for me to say I know it's hard, but I've watched you guys.
01:54:09.000I at least know from observing your struggle, and I have friends that are musicians, and I have friends like Everlast who's made it, and friends who are still struggling.
01:56:23.000You have to sort of just accept, like sometimes the musicians or actors or whatever, you love their work, and then they turn out to be a douche.
01:56:40.000If you meet a guy or a girl and they're just extraordinarily talented but incredibly troubled, you've got to realize that there's like a balance going on with human beings.
01:56:50.000There's this weird balance and it doesn't always work out right.
01:58:36.000Yeah, you gotta hand it to somebody who's gonna, like, have the balls to go to real town, you know?
01:58:40.000My only problem with that is that Jay Leno was also being sort of, in a sense, enabled or thrust into that situation by the network.
01:58:49.000Because the network, why would the network change everything around if they didn't want to?
01:58:55.000I mean, like, why are you getting upset?
01:58:56.000Like, if Conan O'Brien went into that position and then all of a sudden the fucking show exploded and became this monster mega-hit that everybody thought it would be...
01:59:28.000Like, the battle between, you know, this guy and that guy, and they're gonna, who's the best, and like that, you see that talk show war show with Letterman and Jay Leno, where it shows how Letterman and Jay Leno were, like, battling with each other, and Letterman always wanted to do the Tonight Show.
02:00:08.000It doesn't seem like that's the right way to do it.
02:00:12.000And I like that what Jimmy Kimmel did was stand up for another talk show host.
02:00:17.000And just say the shit that everyone was thinking.
02:00:20.000I just like it when that happens with public.
02:00:22.000I just love that he decided that it was something that he wanted to do.
02:00:25.000I love that he's so strongly in support Of Conan that he decided to show solidarity in his interview with Jay Leno.
02:00:35.000You use this word genuine a bunch of times.
02:00:38.000I think that's like the fucking nucleus of all this stuff, like of the podcast, of your genuine conversations and your genuine messages and stuff like that.
02:00:47.000There's a lot of interesting things happening like Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel.
02:04:33.000And whatever it is out there that makes things great, whatever it is where you're watching Pink singing while she's spiraling around over an audience and never losing tune and knowing that it's completely live, or whether it's Bono sitting on that fucking couch and you two behind him playing and Jimmy Fallon is sitting there and Will Smith is sitting there and It's so undeniably brilliant that I
02:05:03.000woke up from a nap sitting on the couch to woke up just in time for them to be joking around and then go into that song.
02:05:13.000Like, the universe wanted me to see this.
02:05:42.000People who don't think he's a badass motherfucker have never seen him play Muhammad Ali.
02:05:47.000The audience is standing up and they're all on their feet screaming.
02:05:50.000There's not a guy with a sign, stand up, stand up, clap, applaud.
02:05:54.000Like if you go to those, like if you go to Tonight Shows, Chapin, at least the old ones, they used to have a guy who would tell you when to applaud.
02:06:00.000There's like signs would light up or a guy would like hold up a sign.
02:07:20.000So not only are there so many possibilities in the concept of infinity.
02:07:26.000Infinity meaning infinite possibilities.
02:07:28.000We can't even imagine what that means.
02:07:29.000What that means is that everything that you've ever experienced, everything that I've ever experienced, you looking exactly like you, you looking exactly like you, you with the same creepy dude who tried to sneak you into the woods to see a fucking largemouth bass,
02:07:45.000All of that exists in the exact same order, in the exact same form, in an infinite number of times.
02:09:34.000That's more likely than just the idea of people breathing air and staying alive and fish sucking air out of water and some fucking weird contraption called gills.
02:10:47.000We just watched it again, and we're experiencing it in a different way, but that moment has been captured, and that moment can now repeat itself in our controlled medium, right?
02:10:55.000So maybe this is us piecing together all these things that you're talking about.
02:11:00.000I hope if you see it, the first time you see it, it's before I said anything about it to you.
02:11:05.000The last thing I want is to flavor that moment with my own...
02:11:09.000I think that was just a tremendous performance.
02:11:12.000If somebody sees it and you hear me talking about it, shut it off and go watch the real thing.
02:11:17.000If somebody puts it on YouTube, watch the real thing.
02:11:42.000You know, we were talking about it when we were playing pool.
02:11:44.000Sometimes you just hit this weird stride where everything's just falling into place and it feels automatic.
02:11:49.000And you know there's that moment, I'm sure, it's got to be very similar to the moment like that in comedy with your music.
02:11:59.000There's got to be moments where you guys are just flowing.
02:12:02.000There was a moment, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, but there was a moment where...
02:12:08.000You were on stage, and you were singing, and it was at the December 21st show, the 2012 End of the World show, and both Joey Diaz and Eddie Bravo came off stage, and they both, at the same time, go, that's a badass bitch!
02:12:44.000I go, I think the music probably shouldn't be in the middle because it would interrupt the flow of the comedy, but I think it would enhance the beginning of the comedy.
02:12:51.000And I think, you know, so we do it this way.
02:12:53.000And so when we did it, and you guys got on stage, it was the first time that Eddie had ever seen you guys live.
02:13:00.000And, you know, he was like, holy shit, they're good.
02:13:03.000He was like, the lyrics, the fucking music, the choices they made, he just was like shaking his head.
02:13:10.000But I'll never forget that moment where they both walked off stage because they were both shaking their heads.
02:13:16.000Because Joey was going to go on stage next and do some stand-up.
02:13:20.000We got so lucky to be involved with this.
02:14:03.000We don't even know why we're doing it.
02:14:05.000We just start doing it, and then somewhere along the line we realize we love it, and the next thing you know, you're singing songs, or you're telling jokes, or you're fucking making guitars, whatever it is, you know, you find that thing.
02:15:59.000Went down to the banks of the Elway River Have to hop a chain link fence Concrete walls on the L.A. River Water lapping up on the cement Oh,
02:16:21.000but I love my new home Listen to the big city sound Watching that L.A. River roll down by the trains Dip my fingers in the warm black
02:16:51.000water All red skin on my knees Sail my boat down the L.A. River Thought I saw a body in the leaves Oh, but I love my new home Listen to the big city sound Watchin' that L.A. While the trains pass Chinatown Listen
02:17:53.000to the big city sound Watching that LA river roll down by the trains past Chinatown Oh shit.
02:20:19.000Bluegrass music, I mean, it didn't come out of Nashville specifically, but that region, you have traditional music, and you're not really in touch with that in many other places.
02:20:27.000Like here, there's a great music scene, but there aren't people who are keeping a flame alive, as far as I know.
02:20:37.000Like, American Roots music is huge, and there's people that are dedicated to just, like, spreading this shit, making sure people know about it.
02:20:45.000And that's, I mean, that's why the banjo's still around, you know, because someone...
02:20:50.000Yeah, I mean, there's always been a respect that rock and roll guys pay to things like bluegrass or the blues.
02:21:00.000I'm sure you guys know the song, one of my all-time favorite Skynyrd songs, The Ballad of Curtis Lowe.
02:22:00.000And 20 years after he's put out all these records, this guy, like Atlantic Records, this guy, Amit Erdogan, finds him on the street still and he's just doing his thing.
02:23:08.000Like, I don't give a fuck what happens.
02:23:10.000I don't care if they invent time travel.
02:23:12.000I don't care if you've got, like, robots on Pluto that put your body in suspended animation and print a 3D copy of it that breathes carbon dioxide and it wanders around on the surface.
02:23:42.000There's just something about the beauty of Palmer's voice and the sounds of the guitar and Jimmy Page is hitting it perfect and it's the time.
02:27:33.000Whatever the fuck they were for that brief moment of time, you know, before that plane crash, they were amazing.
02:27:39.000Leonard Skinner, to this day, if I have, like, a list of shit on my iPod, and I'm, like, in an airport or something like that, and I'm scrolling through, and I see my little Skinner folder, I'm like, fuck, you gotta go to Skinnerd.
02:32:06.000But it's also when you get super high, patterns start to, once they become very recognizable by the mind, the mind settles into this idea that there's not going to be any interruptions in those patterns.
02:32:19.000So like crazy train essentially becomes like a three minute and 35 second ohm.
02:33:02.000Because it gives you such a bizarrely introspective perspective and such an intensely sensitive view of the world that when the ride is over, you get off and you go, okay, we're fine now.
02:34:13.000You know, it's interesting how they will prescribe certain kind of uppers to people that are hyperactive, and it sort of balances that out.
02:34:21.000Adderall's really fun, let me tell you.
02:34:23.000I've heard that from several people this week.
02:34:26.000It feels like the two times I've taken Adderall recreationally, sorry.
02:37:13.000I had an interesting conversation with this girl once and she was talking about the difference between a woman getting excited and a man getting excited is that it's pretty obvious if a man's excited.
02:37:26.000But a woman could be a prostitute and she could totally pretend to be excited and not give a fuck.
02:37:33.000But a man has this one thing that he has to show.
02:37:37.000And so if he's acting excited but he doesn't have an erection, they're like, hey...
02:40:03.000And you're right, I did just kind of reveal it like that.
02:40:05.000Now that I think about it, it's horrifying to me to think of fucking with the testicles, but at the same time, it's totally routine to be like, take that pill.
02:40:12.000Yeah, do you know what if I get an IUD? That shit is fucked up.
02:42:01.000If I was a chick, I'd be really bummed out if somebody wanted me to take a pill that made my body think that it's pregnant and then also kills your libido.
02:42:10.000Which is probably what nature would do, like, almost automatically if you're pregnant.
02:42:23.000It's an interesting, like, when you go through your relationships, like, obviously if you're dating, it's not as much of a problem, you know, because you use condoms and that's fine, honestly.
02:42:43.000Then you get to that point where you have to figure out, well, shit, how do I want to manipulate my body To have more pleasurable sex or a more intimate connection, if you will.
02:42:57.000Or, you know, let's have a risk that we're going to take and it may or may not make a baby.
02:45:39.000Sometimes you go on someone's Facebook, especially if it's someone you know, and they write a bunch of really personal shit about a relationship or something.
02:45:47.000Also, it's a really private thing, yeah.
02:46:34.000That is an outlet that everyone has access to.
02:46:37.000Nobody's going to listen to them in real life, so they can put it out there and maybe someone will listen to them digitally.
02:46:43.000It's a powerful and yet terrifying thing sometimes because then you get people that are fucking annoying and then people that are really serious in a dark way.
02:47:46.000I heard something about mental health workers in Africa, right?
02:47:49.000And they were over there and all these African tribes, people or more native people, were kind of rejecting these mental health workers because they'd come in.
02:48:40.000Well, there's excessive sharing, and it's all about the comfort that people have in discussing very personal relationship stuff, or very personal...
02:48:58.000Morbid thoughts or worries about your own finite life or whatever it is.
02:49:04.000Sometimes you read someone's Facebook page and you want to know whether or not you should reach out to them.
02:49:09.000Read some weird moody thing that they wrote and you go, whoa, what the fuck is he saying here?
02:49:14.000Is this some shit that I'm going to read and then wish that I called him when I hear that something went wrong?
02:49:21.000We all worry about that kind of stuff.
02:49:23.000But I think that What we're doing by connecting with each other on things like Twitter, and then things like Facebook, and then ultimately whatever the new ones are that keep coming, because it seems like it's never going to stop.
02:49:38.000This Oculus Rift Facebook connection, who knows where the hell that's going to lead.
02:49:42.000But that could lead to some insane place.
02:49:45.000I mean, Oculus Rift, if you've never put it on before, Duncan has one of these things.
02:49:48.000You slap the helmet on, maybe he'll let you use it.
02:53:30.000Now what I said there, your brain's ability to function faster.
02:53:34.000Take into account that I am certainly not a scientist by any stretch of the imagination.
02:53:39.000Nor do I know if those games really truly...
02:53:41.000I read studies that they say that games, video games especially, enhance cognitive function in some strange way.
02:53:48.000What the fuck do I know, though, folks, huh?
02:53:50.000Am I there while they're doing these tests, huh?
02:53:53.000What I'm saying is Lumosity is fun and accomplishes a lot of the things that they've attributed to video games.
02:54:03.000You can even design games specifically for the shit that you're interested in.
02:54:08.000And I'm giving Lumosity a full commercial because I'm not sure if we did it the first time because it got sort of eliminated by an accidental Mac explosion.
