In this episode, we talk about why you should change your underwear more than once every seven years and why MeUndies are the most comfortable things you can wear on your body. We also talk about what to do if you have a dick that keeps opening up and you don t change it once in a long time and you want to keep it in place, but you don't have a pair that you know for sure that you've had for a long ass time that you can change? Then you need to keep that shit clean. We also discuss how to keep your dick in place and how to make sure it doesn't open up too much more than it has been for a while and how important it is to change it and keep it from opening up any more than you already have and how you should keep your pants clean and keep them in place so you can keep your balls in place. And we also discuss why you shouldn't have to wear the same pair of underwear you've been wearing for years. and why it's a good idea to at least change them once a few times a year.

00:06:46.000This guy's invented this pack that you put a phone in if it's got wet, and you put it in more liquid, which sounds crazy, but it counteracts what the water's doing.
00:10:40.000Hello my name is Pip and I would like to speak some lyrics Into this microphone that's amplified so you can hear it This piece of diction is the intro to distraction pieces That's all the shit that flies around my head and keeps me sleepless Such little food for full my fucking brain feels anorexic So many typos when I write,
00:10:57.000oh I'll claim I'm dyslexic I've got your poem here, I've put it in this envelope I'm setting fire to it, hope you all can read the smoke Most people where I live don't know me and I fucking like it.
00:11:08.000Some people where I live don't like me and I fucking know it.
00:11:11.000Some heads won't know my name or give me a look since I flow kinda strange like Spina Bifida footprints.
00:11:20.000I flow kinda strange like Spina Bifida footprints.
00:11:30.000Nothing's original, I stole this flow from the creator And from some others too, can't think right now, I'll name them later If I say fuck a lot, well then I may gain more attention If I say cunt, well then with some of you there will be tension I find this interesting, cause in the end they are just words You give them power when you cower,
00:11:48.000man, it's so absurd But all that was covered by Lily Bruce back in the day Nothing's original, now I'm repeating what I say Paralysis through analysis could stop me here I'll brandish the blindest man's anguish with a ram fist Directed at the throat of any man that can withstand I'll brandish the blindest man's anguish with a ram fist I
00:12:21.000see these rappers that say things like no homo and such It always seems maybe the lady duff protests too much I'm really speechless but I speak less than you might imagine Sometimes I snutter and I sputter like I'm known to write about the shit most people won't discuss.
00:12:36.000Sometimes my music's too intrusive with their words and such.
00:12:40.000You see a mousetrap, I see free cheese and a fucking challenge.
00:12:43.000But you stay quiet, the fear of ticking the balance.
00:12:46.000When it's horses for courses, my horse is distorted.
00:12:49.000I bought it for four quid, then forced it through horseshit.
00:12:52.000We walked through these morbid, remorseless discourses and discussed these disgusting new sources.
00:13:16.000It's crazy because we We filmed that in just a metal container, and the guy, we'd rented it off, we didn't tell him what the fuck we were doing, because I figured we can only do it in one take, because I've got to shave my head and shit, so I thought, if we ask him, he can say no.
00:13:29.000If we do it, he can just tell us off afterwards, and that's that.
00:13:33.000So as it finished, obviously, there's tons of fire, we're setting shit on fire, and we had to have the doors closed because of lighting.
00:13:39.000So we're in a metal container, just burning everything, and then I piled out with smoke bellowing, and the guy just walked past and just went...
00:14:23.000I mean, I started off in spoken word, so I started off just kind of with no beats, but I was into hip-hop, and again, a lot of people hear spoken word and think that sounds...
00:14:32.000Shit, basically, in poetry and that, but I was exactly the same.
00:14:36.000Well, spoken word has potential, right?
00:16:07.000But yes, obviously I'm not in love with poetry.
00:16:10.000I started doing it because I was in some punk bands and shit like that, and I got sick of relying on drummers, their mum giving them a lift to practice, and the bassist can't make it because he's working a night shift and shit like that.
00:16:24.000So I was looking at what I could do and succeed or fail on my own.
00:16:27.000I loved the buzz of the fact that if it went well, it's my fault.
00:16:29.000If I fail, I can't say, oh, it's this other guy's fault.
00:16:32.000That's a real problem with bands, huh?
00:16:34.000Eddie Bravo was trying to explain to me like the trials and tribulations that the average band goes through and I was thinking about it when we had the conversation like I never even thought about that before but dealing with all those egos together and and then also some people that are just undisciplined yeah completely some people aren't as passionate about it as you are or it's just a fun thing for them and equally accepting gigs and shit like that you have to ring through like four or five other people to say can we accept this gig it's like Yeah.
00:17:32.000I was raised in the hood, but I'm strong from my...
00:17:35.000It blows my mind that the most common thing that people say to me after shows and that is like, oh, you sound exactly like you do on record.
00:18:59.000And it just started playing, it's on one of my playlists, but that Elton John song, Country Comfort, that motherfucker could sing his ass off.
00:20:55.000There's certain subjects that guys will cover when you can tell they're covering it because they think that the audience wants to hear that, and it's not what's actually interesting to them.
00:21:14.000Well, there's a lot of people that do do that, though.
00:21:16.000It's weird, like, those hitmaker guys who, like, sit down, they write these songs that they know specifically will hit, like, a target nerve.
00:21:24.000See, I understand that, because they're writing that for someone else to have to perform and sell their sold every night to kind of sing and get through.
00:21:31.000I can understand that, because they're just going, I'm going to write this and make a fuck ton of money and then hand this over to some other guy to jump up there and...
00:21:40.000Wasn't there a band where the lead singer was one of those guys that would write songs for a lot of...
00:22:28.000There's this old Leonard Skinner song, The Battle of Curtis Lowe, and it's one of those songs, the ballad of Curtis Lowe, and it's one of those songs where you hear it, you don't even know what is going on that this song is just...
00:22:46.000Captivating me in such a unique way, like making me emotional, like making me feel that moment.
00:22:53.000And you can tell when they feel like they've been written like that.
00:22:56.000Like one of the things I liked about when that song, Intradiction, kind of blew up was No one kind of noticed for ages that it's not got a chorus.
00:23:07.000But people didn't notice that because they were kind of captivated and into it and didn't think about, all right, you're meant to kind of go verse, chorus, verse, bridge, you know, this kind of shit.
00:23:16.000So it's kind of nice when that works and you can tell it's just...
00:23:22.000Just what came out and what was natural.
00:23:44.000Is it completely written before you ever get to the stage?
00:23:47.000Yeah, it's all completely written before I get to the stage.
00:23:50.000The stage, a lot of that song in particular, I mean, I'm noting stuff on my phone all the time and just, yeah, I'm making note of just good lines or good ideas or topics or subjects.
00:24:00.000Like maybe you have like a new line that just pops in your head and you want to add it to it.
00:24:03.000Yeah, I mean, in my notes always, I'm going to have something awful in there now.
00:24:08.000But it'll just be notes, even if it's just, even if it isn't a line or a turn of phrase.
00:24:13.000My last note was saying about how loads of rappers at the moment are going on about going beast mode.
00:24:28.000It's just, right, I'll do something with that.
00:24:30.000So then on a song like that, because a lot of my songs are stories as well, though.
00:24:33.000But one like that, it's easy to go through all these kind of weird little ideas or phrases or even like bits of philosophy and shit like that just to go, right, I'll put that in there.
00:25:26.000I love anything like that where it's like one guy piecing something together, whether it's music or whether it's a book, like talking to an author about creating a book, or whether it's a stand-up comedian creating an act or a guy writing a movie or anything.
00:25:41.000There's something about that creative process.
00:25:43.000And there's so much more now where that's so much more acceptable and doable because of the internet and because of Being able to get whatever your one passion is out there that you can kind of just be it doesn't have to be a team of right as a team of people doing this and that you can find a lot more people have got that just One vision.
00:26:00.000Yeah, and then just yeah see what it turns into.
00:26:03.000Yeah Yeah, and when you like have this one thing that comes out of your own mind and You put it together and you it's like We were talking about this with comedy.
00:26:14.000When somebody becomes a Pip fan, you're the only one that can give them that stuff.
00:26:29.000All of it, as much as you put into it, it's just what you think at the time.
00:26:33.000But then it's committed to record, and that's that.
00:26:36.000So five years down the line, my opinions or views, or I'd hope my opinions and views would change in general.
00:26:42.000Not on everything, but I think it's important to develop ideas and philosophies constantly.
00:26:47.000So it's then that weird thing that people will have got that first record and have listened to that one phrase or thing over and over, and it's become their kind of mantra.
00:26:56.000And then you're like, yeah, I kind of...
00:27:36.000Comedy, hip-hop, and so, you know, I've got my specifics I like.
00:27:38.000So, yeah, it's another one that a guy I work with sometimes, Sage Francis, was saying in an interview recently, it's got to the point now where when people talk about hip-hop, you can't assume that they're talking about the same thing as him.
00:27:52.000And again, I think it's because it's so broad.
00:28:17.000Again, when I first started off and I was touring about and trying to get my name out there, I'd struggle to describe what I do, because...
00:28:26.000If I said hip-hop and people instantly thought of 50 Cent, or came because of 50 Cent, or can you, it's like, you're not going to be happy with what you get.
00:28:33.000Or equally, they might be put off because they're not into that.
00:28:36.000And it's like, well, this might not be...
00:29:22.000And it's key, the entertainment part is key as well, because I think a lot of people who do the more conscious stuff, it's just like, yeah, it's a lecture.
00:29:30.000You're kind of just being fed this, and it feels like they're trying to get across just how intelligent they are and all this.
00:29:34.000I'm kind of, in all my stuff, it's trying to open up...
00:29:37.000Discussion, rather than say, here's the beginning and end of this subject.
00:29:42.000It's kind of saying, look, here's some shit that we should maybe all think about a bit more or discuss in music or culture in general more, but not trying to say, I've got all the answers, here's my shit, I think.
00:30:18.000My favorite thing is when I'm in LA is because you've got radio stations that just play just old hip-hop and proper kind of hip-hop all day long.
00:30:26.000And yeah, I don't have that in the UK. I miss Scarface.
00:31:36.000And then in Jacksonville, I went to this Burrow bar in There was a band that was about to start in the next room, and out of nowhere, this band jumps off stage and goes into the room, the bar area that we're at, and starts playing right into the crowd, jumping on the tables of the bar and stuff.
00:31:53.000And then at the end, they caught the cymbals on fire, and the place was on fire.
00:31:58.000It was the most intense, amazing band I've ever seen.
00:32:45.000And here's actually them playing outdoors, which is completely different than what you'd normally see.
00:32:51.000But the lead singer, the guy right there in the face mask has the same mask that was at the fetish con that was just staring at us the whole time.
00:34:25.000Imagine if you didn't hear sound, and you see all this moving around, and see all these people staring at these guys just playing with these sticks in their hands.
00:34:34.000You'd be like, what the fuck is going on on that stage?
00:35:11.000And it's good to see that he's learned and moved up to wireless, because clearly the cord was restricting him in the first one as he wanted to go and run around.
00:36:22.000If you were at some shitty gig in the local band and The Doors never happened and they were called The Doors, it probably wouldn't be as awesome as it is, right?
00:38:35.000Say if you and Jamie decided to go on tour as Milli and Vanilli, and you would lip-sync, and other people would sing the songs, you'd get your ass sued.
00:39:18.000If anybody's interested, Rick has a brand new book and people have been asking us to get him on the podcast again and we definitely should.
00:40:07.000And the dude, when he went to jail, didn't even know how to read, okay, and in jail, taught himself how to read, then became a fucking legal expert and found the loopholes in his prosecution where they fucked up, found holes in the prosecution's angle,
00:42:09.000The real Rick Ross knew about the entertainer's stage name since 2006. Oh!
00:42:16.000The case originally began in 2010 and later appealed to a higher court after the lawsuit was ruled untimely since the real Rick Ross knew about the entertainer's stage name since 2006. So the idea was that the first time it was ruled untimely because he didn't act quick enough.
00:42:34.000But I think that there was some issues, the real Rick Ross said, where he had talked to Rick Ross and he was going to be compensated for it.
00:43:09.000But again, it's a hip-hop I love as well.
00:43:12.000It's that mistake that people think that just because I do a certain kind of hip-hop that I think every kind of hip-hop should be like that.
00:43:20.000It'd be boring as hell if all hip-hop was like that.
00:43:23.000You have to have the variation in the genre and Yeah.
00:43:26.000How much do you think the real Rick Ross should get paid by the fake Rick Ross?
00:44:46.000So now 10% I think is completely fair and everyone should just be happy and have dinner together and maybe go on tour together.
00:44:53.000But the real Rick Ross, the original drug dealer Rick Ross, is benefiting substantially, publicity-wise, to being connected with this.
00:45:02.000I mean, he has an amazing story on his own, but the reality is that this story is made more compelling by the fact that there's a guy running around stealing his name.
00:45:13.000It's really crazy when you think about it.
00:45:16.000I wonder if what the cool thinking of the time of it was, that When he probably first heard of this rapper Rick Ross, he probably didn't think it was that huge a deal.
00:46:46.000You know, and Reagan, they're asking him if he sold arms to other countries and shit.
00:46:52.000This was all, like, part of that same era.
00:46:56.000You know, the same era of all this crazy shit going on that we're finding out the government's involved with.
00:47:00.000And one of the things was selling drugs in the Los Angeles neighborhoods, the poor neighborhoods, and taking that money like the CIA was selling drugs.
00:47:10.000And our late, great friend, Michael Rupert, who passed away recently, Michael Rupert, who was a narcotics investigator for the Los Angeles Police Department, he uncovered that shit.
00:47:20.000They did that thing where he stood out in front of that press conference, they have this press conference, and he yells out, like, in the middle of this conference, that he knows that the CIA has been selling drugs in Los Angeles communities,
00:48:08.000Just like, what the fuck is going on, man?
00:48:11.000You know, there's an old expression, but it's a really valid one, is that when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
00:48:20.000And that's the problem with this society that we have, when people, you know, you give them guns and you put them in situations where if they make a bad call, someone dies.
00:49:49.000Again, they had all the same thing of people saying, you can't take people's guns away.
00:49:54.000And they did have people protesting and against it.
00:49:57.000But then a year on, kind of everyone's...
00:49:59.000The problem is, I think you trust your government a lot more than we trust ours.
00:50:04.000Because our government likes starting wars.
00:50:08.000And our government has a history of not being honest with us.
00:50:12.000Our government has a history of trying to suppress us.
00:50:15.000And particularly, I mean, it seems for every, on a yearly basis, for every huge story there is of a member of the public going out and killing people, doing a shooting, there's then a police story of it as well.
00:52:20.000Warzone becomes the streets if you have the same attitude, but it's just going to happen that way.
00:52:26.000When you have people and they hate each other and there's a group here and a group there, the cops and the citizens, and you have a situation like this, things will be flared up for years now.
00:52:35.000It's annoying how it has to be such a group thing and these people against these people.
00:52:40.000There was a song out about two years ago now, just before all the Trayvon and Martin stuff happened.
00:54:37.000I mean, that's really what it should be like.
00:54:39.000It should be a revered position of noble people, you know, martial artists, people who are, you know, they actually want to do good, have a code and an ethic.
00:54:48.000It's the same with politicians, though.
00:54:50.000Like, we all complain about how all the politicians are kind of scumbags.
00:54:54.000It's like, because it's not an appealing job.
00:54:56.000Like, normal people like us wouldn't, it's not appealing being a fucking politician.
00:54:59.000Could you imagine you had to be the mayor or something?
00:55:53.000I kind of argue with people online about this all the time because I think the way your democracy is currently set up and our democracy is currently set up, there's no chance of any real change anytime soon because it's a gradual, slight change is either way, but nothing else is discussed.
00:56:09.000We need to protect the ideals of democracy and it's like, well...
00:56:15.000I think there's, I mean, there's, I'm going completely off on tangent now, but there's hundreds of different kinds ofocracy and kinds of ways to run a society.
00:56:25.000Number one, our democracies we've got aren't real democracies.
00:56:38.000There's loads of, I mean, I was just discussing recently, and it pisses people off because it kind of shows a level of elitism that people are scared of, but I think going on stuff based on a meritocracy and stuff like that, where, say, your vote would be worth more than the guy who's sitting at home in a trailer and doesn't know anything about politics.
00:57:06.000So, for example, my theory on it being, if when you go to vote, there's a short questionnaire on politics or on social or on society or something, and that ranks...
00:57:50.000Yeah, maybe I'm hanging on to the idea that everyone should have an equal vote and that it shouldn't be like an earned thing, and you earn it by having an education about the system.
00:58:25.000There's some issues where it's just a subjective judgment.
00:58:27.000One person would agree, one person would disagree.
00:58:30.000There's certain issues that people are very, very passionate about that You have polar opposite people absolutely dedicated to their opinion and won't budge.
00:59:04.000Or the Bible's the key example of that, where people are just blindly, well, that's my belief, and therefore I will fight any arguments against it, despite any logic and theories and reality.
00:59:19.000That's a common one because, you know, that's one that has been used for so many years by so many people and it's become just a well-paved path that everybody can walk on.
00:59:33.000Our first song that got big, like when I was working with a guy, Daniel Sack, I'm not religious, but the reason I think it hit through with people is it's a simple structure that you all know and are familiar with.
00:59:51.000And that's why it works for religion as well as in a spoken word hip-hop song.
00:59:56.000It's that simplicity of you know the stories and the structures.
01:00:00.000Therefore, you can get a point across that isn't about a religion, but by using those, that's more about society and people, but using that template of what religion people have laid down for us.
01:00:14.000Yeah, what religious people have laid down and, you know, the variance in, like, how much they vary from one to the next, like, how much Judaism varies from Islam, varies from Christianity, how much they borrow from each other.
01:01:32.000Faith has got to be the most, not dangerous word ever made, but that's the thing.
01:01:38.000The argument would always be, well, we were left here and we've got to have faith that God's going to do this and do that, and it's all tests, but I've got my faith.
01:01:47.000That's a massive get-out clause for any argument.
01:01:50.000Well, you can't see this person, you can't prove it.
01:01:54.000Well, not only can you not prove it, but you're having faith in something that It looks very much like bullshit.
01:02:01.000If you look at the stories, a guy came back from the dead, he was dead for three days, and then he pushed a rock aside and came back.
01:02:16.000It's time that allows that to be accepted.
01:02:18.000Because everyone kind of jokes now and mocks Scientology because of the ludicrousness of loads of...
01:02:36.000Well, people don't even admit Christianity is ludicrous.
01:02:39.000If you have conversations with hardcore Christians about whether or not Christianity is ludicrous, they'll argue with you about why it's not, and what these stories really represent, and how the message of God comes through these stories.
01:02:50.000I think it's crazy that there's such a mixture as well in there.
01:02:53.000There will be loads of Christians that know that all that stuff is kind of bullshit, but they believe what they believe and they believe they're...
01:03:15.000There's people that just believe in God and they feel like the Bible is sort of a framework for good behavior that was laid down by this holy entity at one point in the past.
01:03:25.000And that although the stories have been twisted and weird and, you know, that a lot of these stories, they probably represented something.
01:04:18.000But that story has a direct connection to God.
01:04:21.000And the way that direct connection works is that at one point in time, there was...
01:04:25.000There was something where someone was explained the very nature of the universe.
01:04:32.000And then, whether it was through psychedelic drugs, whether it was through an actual religious experience with a divine entity, and then from that point, what happened is that person told another person, that person told another person, they did their best to remember everything that the people before them told them.
01:04:48.000But if you got through all that goofy shit, all that Adam and Eve stuff, and all that fucking...
01:04:53.000The more weird and ridiculous and preposterous stories in any religion, if you got through all that and went back to the source, you almost are still connected in some sort of a weird, bizarre, and maybe like a...
01:05:11.000Like, almost like a mathematical way, you're connected to the original story.
01:05:17.000You know, there's the original story, the original story turns into this, his memory fucks it up, it turns into that.
01:05:54.000They pieced together the Dead Sea Scrolls with DNA. They made sure that they got the DNA of the same cow, so they knew if it was the same cow, it most likely was the same piece of paper, because they were all different cows and different pieces of paper, and they had to figure out which animal skins,
01:06:10.000because they had all these crumbs and pieces, and they had to piece them together over decades, man.
01:06:23.000It was in like 1947. Again, there's that old, I think it was in a TV series in the UK, there was a joke thing of they found the original first page of the Bible just saying that any resemblance to people in real life is purely coincidental and so on and so forth and that it's just a book of fiction.
01:07:20.000We're rediscovered at the Israeli Antiquities Authority in 2014 after they had been stored unopened for six decades following their excavation in 1952. The texts are of great historical, religious, and linguistic significance because they include the earliest known surviving manuscripts of works later included in the Hebrew Bible canon along with Deuterocanonical Deuteronomy.
01:07:56.000My wife was saying this to me the other day.
01:07:58.000It's interesting when you're raising kids and you're teaching them how to say words and, you know, you have to spell it and you see how it's difficult.
01:08:05.000Well, when you learn a new word like this, like, you know, if that was deuteronomy, I could just say it and it would be easy.
01:08:12.000But I'm trying to figure it out as I'm saying it like a little kid.
01:09:34.000The oldest surviving Hebrew manuscript, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, 2nd century BCE. Well, this is Wikipedia, and it's giving me a different date.
01:09:43.000Because they were saying 4, like 408, right?
01:10:01.000Imagine if you can go back to those dudes who wrote the Bible way back then and you could bring them in a time machine to 2014 and show them the havoc that they've created.
01:10:14.000Well, it's so weird that it gets translated into different languages.
01:10:18.000Like, have you ever done one of those things where you take Russian and you translate it to English and you try to, like, explain what the fuck they mean?
01:10:23.000Their language is so different than ours that it always comes out like, he gives to a country but fails not.
01:10:32.000You know, there's a weird interpretation of languages to English.
01:10:37.000So you've got to think you're going from a weird language like ancient Hebrew, which was, they used to have, like, their numbers were embedded in their words.
01:10:49.000Like, what if we're just going back to how the Bible, you know, the language back then actually was just like, we all talked like a meme back then.
01:10:56.000Like you just said, that sounds like a meme almost.
01:10:58.000Like, I go back home with letters in...
01:11:10.000Just the ancient languages, like when they try...
01:11:13.000The fact that they've got that translation and the original thing they're reading is just so old and they're using DNA to kind of piece it in the right order and all that kind of thing.
01:11:31.000But when they have stories that are, like, when they translate part of the story and the story is, like, very similar to, like, Book of Genesis or something along those lines, they can sort of make those correlations.
01:11:42.000If they have enough similarities, you know?
01:11:44.000But there's a lot of those stories that are like that, man.
01:11:46.000Like, when you go back to the oldest shit, that cuneiform that the Sumerians used to write in...
01:15:57.000And you can see these things that they used to do where they used to lay this clay down and roll their message out onto the clay.
01:16:05.000And I guess if you probably wanted to get a message to somebody, you would send a seal, you'd send one of these cylinders, and then they would lay the clay out, and they would roll the cylinder on the clay, and it would read out what you had to say to them.
01:17:35.000It's an important message to have had to send.
01:17:38.000We need to commit this to Cylinder and get the word out about the way that goat was looking at it.
01:17:43.000Well, it's like, haven't you ever made a note on your phone and you couldn't remember what the fuck it meant?
01:17:48.000Like, at the time, you're like, I'll understand this.
01:17:50.000So many times, I'm waking up at night and thinking, I've got a lyric or an idea, just noting it, and then looking at it and going, what the...
01:18:53.000Most likely, what they think is, you know, when I've listened to many people give their opinions on these kind of things and how do these people know what they knew and what...
01:19:05.000I'm of an opinion that most likely at one point in time, people were really fucking smart.
01:19:11.000And they had gotten really far, and they had learned a lot of shit, and they had lived for a long time, and then cataclysms happened.
01:19:18.000They got hit by asteroids, they got hit by, you know, super volcanoes, whatever it is.
01:19:23.000And whatever was learned was forgotten, and they started all over again.
01:19:27.000And they probably did it a gang of times.
01:19:29.000And people who kind of argue against that will say, just, yeah, would they have, like, why aren't there cameras or whatever?
01:19:39.000But I think the very nature of that theory is there's no chance at all that their intelligence would have developed in the same way as did.
01:19:47.000The technology wouldn't have developed in the same way.
01:19:48.000They could have been far superior yet never invented technology.
01:20:06.000I think that people from England have a bit of a better perspective of time Than people in America.
01:20:16.000Because if you're in London, if you go through London, you'll see thousand-year-old buildings.
01:20:21.000Like, you don't see that shit in America.
01:20:23.000I was at a wedding in Boston once, and I had a day spare, and I popped into an antique store, and it was, like, all, like, the 50s and 60s.
01:20:30.000And it's like, that's not an antique store.
01:20:32.000Like, you go to England, antique store, it's, like, hundreds of years old, all this old stuff.
01:22:06.000I'm like, nope, can't do it, until they eventually let him do it.
01:22:09.000I don't want to have a clicker for the drawbridge.
01:22:12.000So when they pull up, it can just come on, help me out.
01:22:15.000Just like an RFID card they put on your license plate.
01:22:17.000As soon as it recognizes you're driving and it opens up the drawbridge, no one else can get in.
01:22:22.000There's a few different castles in England that are hotels now and you can just go and stay in a castle that is hundreds and hundreds of years old.
01:23:57.000You'd probably have to have satellite internet.
01:23:58.000I mean, you might not even be able to get that.
01:24:00.000I guarantee you they haven't laid the lines down unless this castle's been used by people for a long time.
01:24:07.000I drove through Transylvania on our last tour and it just feels like the most underused, like, they should put a Dracula Disneyland or some shit there.
01:25:48.000It's making an amusement park purely for adults.
01:25:51.000An amusement park for adults in Transylvania that's all horror.
01:25:56.000And then they set up the entire location like they have fucking speakers in the woods where you hear horrible howls in the middle of the night while you're sleeping.
01:26:05.000They scare the fucking shit out of you.
01:26:12.000When you go to Disneyland, you see dudes are dressed up like fucking Mickey Mouse and Goofy and you go by Goofy's Kitchen and Goofy wave at you.
01:26:20.000Instead of that, you have dudes made up in full horror outfits.
01:26:25.000And those dudes would love working there.
01:27:02.000There's a big thing in the UK now where they have kind of these zombie tour things or whatever, and it'll be in an old shopping center or something, and you'll pay to go and be part of it, and it will be all actors kind of just jumping out and chasing you as zombies, and you'll be living out the zombie apocalypse.
01:27:20.000But again, all of that just feels, how many of those actors get punched in the face, or someone just reacting in panic and hurting people.
01:27:29.000What they really need to do is make real zombies.
01:27:32.000Like, have an artificial, real zombie.
01:27:35.000Have, like, what you do is, you make, like, a fake person that's not really a person...
01:28:59.000On the notebook of people who are working on making clones and shit, how far down do you think clone artificial zombies is?
01:29:08.000A lot of my ideas, especially my more poorly thought out ones, a lot of them require, like, some sort of a demise of civilization for them to be valid.
01:29:17.000We would have to have some serious casualties.
01:29:20.000We'd have to devalue life in a way where, like, today...
01:29:24.000I like it as the answer, though, when people are against cloning and the dangers of it and they're not a real person and the risks of playing God, it's like, well, no, we...
01:29:52.000What if they got a hold of your DNA and they made a bunch of them and you didn't even realize they did that until they were like 15 or 16 and then you made them?
01:29:59.000And you're an older man and you're meeting yourself at 15. There's like 20 of you and you're like, what the fuck?
01:30:03.000I'm not even responsible for my own self growing up.
01:30:06.000And they come in there to wipe you out.
01:30:39.000I don't get it, but if it came about, surely you'd have the rights to your own DNA. Surely that'd be a key thing, rather than me finding out and bumping into a script.
01:30:48.000It'd have to be, I would have made that happen.
01:30:49.000But you would find out that when you signed your terms of use, when you got your iPhone, that you gave up your right to clone yourself, and that they own you.
01:30:56.000So every time you use your phone, a little bit of your DNA gets in you from your earwax, gets into the speaker, and then you turn them in, and then they just make copies of you.
01:31:04.000It'll be some scam that they expose on CNN or something.
01:31:17.000Well, I think we're going to wonder at one point in time, we're going to wonder what is an acceptable way to consider how to engineer our civilization both as our society, like how we govern ourselves,
01:31:32.000how we have laws, how we distribute money, and then also how we breed.
01:31:37.000There's going to come a point in time when people become super, super intelligent, far removed from this weird sort of ape-like situation we find ourselves in today.
01:31:46.000And if they get to that point one day, they'll be like, look, how much should we be investing our intellectual time into actively breeding people the way we do every other animal that we have under our control?
01:31:59.000I mean, the way we breed cows, the way we breed dogs, should we just keep doing this whole thing on love, or should we just love everybody and breed according to the best way possible to enhance the human race?
01:32:12.000But surely that would, in turn, just involve cutting down breeding hugely, because surely the biggest problem of the human race is that there's far too many of us to fit on this silly planet.
01:32:24.000With that boiling pot of having far too many of us, it sort of highlights the reason why that would be a terrible idea, because there's so many variables that make society awesome, and all of them come from completely different realities.
01:32:39.000The variable of the computer geek is a very different reality than the variable of a pro football player.
01:32:44.000And all these variables, and biological variables too, as far as the way your body works, might lead you in one direction or another.
01:34:15.000Well, it'll eventually become three-dimensional, and then one day, it'll be immersive.
01:34:19.000One day you'll be able to record and not just record a single image, like this is the baby steps.
01:34:24.000One day, you know, this is like when people first started to figure out a fire, you know, and what that led to is the combustion engine.
01:34:31.000I mean, think about that, all the way up to plane travel.
01:34:34.000It was figure out fire, all the other shit comes up after it.
01:34:37.000What we're seeing now, by being able to take a photograph with the glasses, we're capturing time in a very rudimentary way, but really For us, amazing.
01:34:45.000Well, one day, we're going to be able to capture everything about it.
01:34:49.000The way your seat feels, the way your hands are sweaty, the way your beard itches, the way your clothes fit.
01:35:21.000And now there's so much that you don't need to learn or take in because you can really quickly see who was in that film and what else he was in.
01:35:31.000I think the first thing that's going to happen is there's going to be a search of your memory starting from a certain period of time where you're going to be able to access what you had said in the past or did in the past.
01:35:42.000And it's going to be more searchable to the point where I go, what did I say last night around 10 o'clock?
01:35:47.000You said at 10.01, blah, blah, blah, while standing at this location.
01:37:12.000In baseball, it's so boring, but they love to argue when someone's safe or out, and they'll fucking play that foot touching that bag a hundred times, and the guy catching the ball and the foot touching the bag, they'll play that shit over and over and over again.
01:37:24.000That's a terrible call by the referee.
01:37:34.000It takes a little bit of the fun out of it, especially goofy sports.
01:37:40.000It's a strange thing, our obsession with scoring.
01:37:46.000We have a built-in need for war and a built-in need to conquer and a built-in need to form tribes, to go on after other tribes.
01:37:53.000We figured out a way to do it peaceably.
01:37:55.000Through sport, you know, through organized, high-level athletic competitions.
01:37:59.000We have our team takes on your team, and if we win, we drink, and we run through the streets, woo-hoo!
01:38:06.000Do you think there's then an intentional thing in sports?
01:38:09.000Like, I mean, in MMA, everyone talks about, is the 10-point must system the right system?
01:38:13.000Do you think there's an active thing of, well, yeah, because everyone's having this discussion and talking about it and engaging about this fight, rather than, oh, you know, it'd be best if we actually knew who won and who won.
01:38:25.000The problem with that is sometimes the scoring system is so bad and so ineffective that it leaves everyone feeling like they get robbed.
01:38:32.000You see, I think the scoring system works.
01:38:36.000It's just you need better understanding from the judges and from the...
01:38:40.000I think, again, almost any system, if it's clear enough and the people understand it, then it works.
01:38:46.000I agree with you in some ways, but I also think that it's just not a comprehensive enough system to have 10 points.
01:39:18.000But when you start factoring in things like takedowns, and then things like leg kicks, and things like submission attempts, and you have it quantify...
01:39:27.000Whether it's the strike or the takedown, what's more important?
01:39:31.000Is it more important this guy landed five punches, or is it more important that that guy took the other guy down and held onto him and did nothing?
01:39:36.000And different people are going to have different opinions.
01:39:52.000So scoring all the way across each one.
01:39:54.000Yeah, there should be a score for everything that happens in the round, and there should be 10-9 for each event.
01:40:01.000If they're standing up, 10-9, Jon Jones controlled the stand-up.
01:40:05.000But then Jon got it to the ground, and it was 10-6, because he almost submitted him, beat the shit out of him, controlled him.
01:40:11.000When it came to takedown defense, this guy got that.
01:40:16.000You could have it like that and then count up the score.
01:40:18.000But then that would be tough if they're on the ground for a small amount of time, but that time they were on the ground, this guy scored that guy.
01:40:29.000Then if they've got 10-6 for that, that was like 30 seconds.
01:40:34.000No, because if a guy goes to the ground and it's only for a few seconds, it's not going to mean anything.
01:40:39.000You have to have a submission attempt for it to mean something.
01:40:42.000So if the guy just went to the ground and got back up, it'd probably be a 9-9.
01:40:45.000If a guy takes you down and get back up, and you get immediately back up, it'd maybe not be even, but it's pretty close to even.
01:40:54.000I just think that if a judge is properly educated on it, then they'll be able to come closer and take all that into account and know that that takedown, there were three takedowns, but he didn't do anything while he was down, or they got up straight away.
01:41:06.000And I think if there's a greater education on the judges, they'd be able to work that system.
01:41:11.000I wish I was English just so I could say straight away and say it like normal and proper.
01:41:56.000Well, that's the local athletic commissions have the say on who gets to referee, who gets to judge.
01:42:01.000And it's an issue that we deal with when we fight, when we have events in certain places that don't have a lot of high-level fights.
01:42:08.000And so you'll have local judges that were appointed by the commissions, and they're on television, and they're doing a terrible fucking job.
01:42:14.000And they do things like they get too involved, they have two big egos, so they get in the way of the action, they tell guys to fight, and the guys are fighting.
01:44:00.000And they have to be able to control shit too, you know?
01:44:03.000Like when things are going down and if guys won't get off of each other and they won't stop hitting each other, that's why I get nervous when I see female referees and big men.
01:44:13.000Do you think experience in the cage is key for a referee?
01:44:20.000Because again, I always feel the people that have actually fought or have trained on judging or refereeing, surely that would benefit...
01:44:27.000Your ability to know when someone needs helping or needs protecting rather than having not experienced it and kind of being outside on it.
01:47:50.000Like we took the most beneficial, the least harmful ones and we made them the most illegal and put people in jail for the longest amount of time for those.
01:48:40.000It's kind of, yeah, I loved that the first time I read that of the small-mindedness of the way we approach it when there's millions of ways to approach the legalisation of every drug.
01:48:49.000Well, it's also very strange when we arbitrarily decide that one drug, regardless of its impact on people's health and well-being and crimes committed under the influence of it, which is like one of the most devastating ones, alcohol, and we make that our primary drug.
01:49:11.000If you're going to do that, if you're dealing with a sophisticated, intelligent civilization like the UK, like the United States of America, like the Western world in the year 2014, you're dealing with people that have just previously impossible levels of access to information.
01:49:30.000It's unparalleled access to information.
01:52:14.000If you're a happy person the way you are, keep on keeping on, son.
01:52:18.000But the idea that people can't benefit from something that people have clearly benefited from, not just benefited from, but have stated over and over again that they've benefited from it.
01:52:30.000You don't hear that about a lot of other drugs.
01:53:45.000And if they had chosen the same sort of ideas that they have on like marijuana addiction, this is one that they love to throw around, marijuana addiction.
01:53:53.000I would like to put marijuana addiction next to shellfish allergy and see which one is more common.
01:53:58.000Because I bet shellfish allergy is way more fucking common than marijuana.
01:54:03.000And so the idea of making it illegal because one tiny percentage of the population gets physically addicted to it.
01:54:10.000Well, I don't know what's going on in their body.
01:54:35.000It's weird that we have these arbitrary decisions that get made a long time ago and that they stick just because someone wrote them somewhere.
01:56:56.000Maybe just shut off avatars instead of killing the party.
01:56:59.000If you didn't know that you were going to see something and if you saw it, it would black you out, you'd have to be really careful about your viewing habits.
01:58:14.000Did you see that video that somebody shared it to me on Twitter where they can take sound waves off video of like a plant and Like map it out and it will recreate what the sound was when that video is recorded.
01:58:29.000Yeah, well they can use a Doritos bag.
01:58:35.000So if you're in a room and say like you're talking and you have like a Doritos bag there, like a light piece of paper, they can focus on that and the impact of your voice on that Doritos bag, they can detect what you were saying.
01:59:09.000Anybody that can figure that out, when I think about my potential for figuring things out and their potential for figuring things out, The tools that they have, the steps that they are ahead, I could live a hundred lives and never even catch up to where they are.
01:59:40.000The results of this video are the best experience through headphones.
01:59:44.000When sound hits an object, it causes that object to vibrate.
01:59:47.000The motion of this vibration creates a subtle visual signal that's usually invisible to the naked eye.
01:59:53.000In our work, we show how using only a video of the object and a suitable processing algorithm, we can extract these minute vibrations and partially recover the sounds that produced them, letting us turn everyday visible objects into visual microphones.
02:00:10.000In the silent high-speed video shown here on the left, we see the leaves of a potted plant shown on the right.
02:00:16.000The video was recorded while a nearby loudspeaker played the notes to Mary had a little lamb.
02:00:26.000So now what they're gonna do, they record it with the sound and they're gonna play it back using- Even when we play the video in slow motion here, the vibrations caused by the music are so subtle that they move the plants leaves by less than a hundredth of a pixel, making the plant appear still to the naked eye.
02:00:43.000But by combining and filtering all the tiny motion happening across the image that you see, we are able to recover this sound.
02:02:01.000What that's going to happen is we're going to be able to take old home movies, especially like the 8mm kind that's like no sound that you used to have in the 70s.
02:02:08.000We're going to be able to eventually probably take that and actually recreate the sound of everything that was going on.
02:02:42.000We can sometimes actually recover sound at frequencies several times higher than the frame rate of our video, letting us recover audio from video captured on regular consumer cameras.
02:02:53.000Here we see a 60 frames per second video of a bag of candy captured on a regular consumer DSLR while our Mary had a little land music played through a nearby loudspeaker.
02:03:20.000By using a variation of our technique on the rows of the recorded video, we were able to recover this audio, which includes frequencies more than five times higher than the frame rate of our camera.
02:04:10.000I really feel, when I see something like that, that we're very fortunate in the time that we live that we're going to get to see these things.
02:04:19.000That we're a part of this insane moment in history where things are becoming so complicated so quickly, so powerful so quickly.
02:04:28.000The impact of them, the impact of people's words, it's incredible.
02:04:36.000The speed we went from the invention of the internet, which is putting everyone in the world in touch with everyone else, and then the speed we went from that to turning it into something that we just look at tits on and tweet people and talk shit.
02:04:52.000The speed which we've just become comfortable with is amazing...
02:04:56.000Piece of technology that we should be using to find out amazing things constantly, but 90% of the time, we've got so comfortable with it because it's just on your phone now.
02:05:04.000It's not this great jump in technology.
02:05:07.000Well, we take it for granted while it's doing its work.
02:05:10.000And it's doing its work, and its work is connecting all of us.
02:05:13.000I mean, we're connected in some really bizarre ways now, man.
02:05:19.000That's uh, I mean what we're seeing on this the screen we're watching this video.
02:05:23.000That's a Fascinating new thing an amazing new thing But it's probably one of like a million new things that are coming out that are gonna freak us the fuck out You know all this stuff is essentially magic It's crazy how they'll freak us out for like a minute.
02:05:38.000And then it would just be regular and then it's just fine.
02:05:45.000It's creating time travel but using it like a weird like old VCR type kind of technology where we're going to be recreating everything that's ever happened.
02:05:58.000Yeah, you're going to be Be able to watch an outdoor video and stare at the trees and listen to the actual voices that the people were saying while they were near those trees.
02:06:09.000Well, not only that, they'll probably be able to do things digitally to change the resolution of things.
02:06:14.000Probably some sort of an algorithm where they'll be able to analyze each individual pixel and enhance in post the camera's reaction to the image and change it and enhance it.
02:06:29.000I love the idea that this technology could come about, though, but the foible of it would be they have to be near a plant or a Doritos packet.
02:06:40.000We've had these great moments in history, but it wasn't next to a plant.
02:06:45.000Fuck, we'll never know what Jack can say.
02:07:07.000Imagine if they figure out a way to recreate old historical videos and actually make them, like a part of the Oculus Rift, make them like super high resolution, calculate them based on all that, like say if they took the Kennedy assassination.
02:07:23.000And they calculated it on all known photographs of the area.
02:07:27.000They did a very comprehensive analysis.
02:07:30.000They, in detail, every photo of Kennedy's face ever taken, every photo of Jackie O ever taken, every inch of one of those crazy limousines that Kennedy was driving in, the convertible limousines, every inch of it.
02:07:42.000And then they put you in a virtual reality where you're at the scene.
02:07:47.000And you got to watch the Zapruder film play out.
02:08:15.000But the recreations of historical events in three dimension in virtual reality is inevitable.
02:08:21.000Like, I mean, if people are making paintings of Nixon, they're definitely going to make like a virtual reality scenario where he gets shot at the theater.
02:08:35.000Any known historical events, you know?
02:08:38.000I'm writing a story or song or whatever at the moment about a guy that gets a chance, meets some kind of god or whatever, but gets told you can have one truth and you've got to pick everything throughout history.
02:08:51.000Like, you could pick to know what happened with JFK or to know if Jesus was real or whatever.
02:08:58.000and just what what would that one I mean in this story he ends up going through all of that and then asking if his girlfriend cheated on him because that's the reality that's the reality that's the truth that you'd ask and need to know but what what the fuck would you it's weird because jfk is one that i always come to and i'm not american i've got no i think it's just because it's such a conspiracy theory that i want to know the actual truth yeah amazing I think the actual truth would be interesting,
02:09:25.000but I'm pretty convinced of a conspiracy when it came to JFK. I've seen the evidence that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, and one of the things that I don't find compelling is that there was obviously some, the Warren Commission had a predetermined We're good to go.
02:11:47.000I mean, there's people that argue it today, so they were right.
02:11:50.000Whether or not they were right or not, I'm not sure, but they were right that people would accept the fact that this one bullet did all the damage.
02:11:57.000I mean, it's so preposterous in so many different ways.
02:12:00.000I have conversations with people, but you can't deny the actual bullet's dimensions itself.
02:12:06.000The bullet itself was in pristine condition.
02:12:09.000People hate this conversation because it's been done so many times before.
02:12:12.000But there's also fragments of it that was left in the body, the body of Connelly especially, where they weren't accounted for.
02:12:19.000They weren't missing for the bullet they found on the gurney.
02:12:20.000That wasn't the bullet that did all that.
02:12:32.000And to pretend that people wouldn't place it there is preposterous.
02:12:36.000You find a pristine bullet on a gurney, on Governor Colley's gurney in the hospital.
02:12:41.000Do you assume that someone placed it or do you assume that this is a bullet that went through two people and just happened to wind up on a gurney?
02:13:40.000He could have been their patsy, like he said I was a patsy, but he also could have been involved in it, which would account for the slaying of the officer, like a police officer was shot, and they attributed that to Lee Harvey Oswald.
02:13:51.000He might have shot a cop because he was a guilty fuck.
02:14:55.000If you're the one person out there that actually has a real unique experience with a UFO and you're not crazy, I'm not discounting you.
02:15:01.000But what I'm saying is, when I look at all the evidence, like the Roswell and all these different stories and all these different crash stories...
02:15:07.000People are so full of shit that it's much more likely knowing the small number of these things that actually get reported.
02:15:15.000People say thousands of sightings every year.
02:15:17.000There's 350 million people in this country.
02:15:22.000If you only get thousands of sightings every year, what are the odds of those people being crackpots?
02:15:44.000So if people are just having these episodes where they start telling you about UFO abductions and seeing ships that are invisible and move faster than time, it's also possible they're crazy and full of shit.
02:16:22.000You can't come up with any of this anymore.
02:16:25.000Well, I think I would like to be open-minded.
02:16:28.000Like, look, no one would like it more than me if I went back and I actually saw a spaceship from another planet.
02:16:33.000Like, if you go to Area 51 and they could take you to the Bob Lazar place where they have this fucking gigantic hangar and you go inside and you see an actual alien UFO. Holy shit, I would love that.
02:16:45.000But it's way more likely to me that you get there and you see a bunch of remote control shit that the government's been working on, and you see some aircraft technology that led to the stealth bomber, which they know they built out of there.
02:17:18.000What we're looking at already is that back-engineered from aliens who want to see what we're saying at distance.
02:17:25.000So I think you're dealing with a lot of dull-minded people that can't even comprehend the intelligence level of the people that can conceive something like a stealth bomber.
02:17:36.000So they're seeing this technology arising, they're attributing it to back-engineering UFOs, when it really could just be people that are so smart, so much smarter than them, they're not even the same species, essentially.
02:17:51.000They're just super fucking smart and they figured out a gang of shit.
02:19:01.000He's so advanced that his concepts and the levels that he's operating on and thinking on might as well be alien to some guy who works at Krispy Kreme and keeps fucking up and doesn't figure out which button to press.
02:20:37.000Ryan J. Riley and the Washington Post's Wesley Lowry were arrested Wednesday while covering the protests in Ferguson, Missouri surrounding the death of Of unarmed African-American teenager Michael Brown, who was shot to death by a police officer last week.
02:20:53.000Riley tweeted that around 8 p.m., the SWAT officers invaded the McDonald's at which he was working, requested information after he took a photo of them.
02:21:02.000Lowry was also working at the fast food restaurant.
02:22:26.000There was also a video that someone put up online of some people filming cops, and the cop points the gun on them and tells them to get the fuck out of here.
02:22:45.000This is all what everyone was terrified of when that Occupy Wall Street shit was going on.
02:22:54.000What they were worried most is that at one point in time, the United States is going to have something that just wakes people up to shit like this, and they actually start rioting.
02:23:06.000And that's a terrifying thing for police.
02:23:09.000It's a terrifying thing for law enforcement, for any form of government.
02:23:15.000When you have this happen, these types of things, they build momentum.
02:23:22.000It gets real scary when people feel like the police is doing them wrong and there's a battle between people and the police.
02:23:30.000They start shooting rubber bullets at crowds like they're doing here.
02:23:33.000They're just hitting random people in the crowds, trying to disperse them.
02:23:43.000You know, the Shah of Iran got overthrown.
02:23:47.000One of the reasons why they rose up against him is because he was starting to say that they were going to attack people if they were in any sort of formation.
02:23:55.000If more than two or three people were together and they formed any sort of a group, they were going to arrest them all, shoot them on sight.
02:24:01.000And the next day there was like two million people.
02:24:03.000There's got to be a breaking point in all those things of going, right, we can't...
02:24:09.000It's just tough because there's always going to be a load of smaller breaking points along the way that don't cause the change but cause a lot of bad, bad results and actions.
02:24:22.000Crazy that they feel like they can just arrest people that are in McDonald's.
02:24:26.000Like, are you protecting or serving when you're doing that?
02:25:05.000I think when shit hits the fan, when you have a situation like this and people from the police and civilians are fighting, it's like things get real hairy.
02:25:14.000And there's a lot of huge, huge, huge mistakes that get made.
02:25:18.000And there's a lot of stress and a lot of pressure.
02:25:21.000It's going to be real tough to calm this fucking thing down.
02:25:24.000And it just can spread so much more now because of Twitter and because of everything else.
02:25:30.000It becomes this, everyone knows about it, which fires it all up more, right?
02:25:35.000Most of the time you live in England, right?
02:26:39.000There is, again, as everywhere, there are guns, there are knives, like there is crime going on, but yeah, it's nowhere near as regular a thing.
02:26:49.000And I'd say even proportionately, obviously there's millions and millions more people in the US, but I'd still say percentage-wise, it's far more regular.
02:26:57.000Yeah, and every now and then there's like some sort of a, like that Lee Murray situation where they had that crazy bank robbery.
02:30:23.000Our whole history is running so much of the world, and then we're on this tiny little island, still claiming that we're the mighty England, but we're just scrapping in the streets amongst ourselves.
02:30:36.000Isn't it weird how civilizations do that?
02:30:38.000Cultures rise and fall, rise and fall, and their influence, and their power.
02:31:03.000And the reason a lot of our society crumbled after the Romans left was because we had all these amazing roads and everything, but we didn't know how to rebuild them or to maintain them or anything like that.
02:31:12.000So we kind of had this big boom when the Romans came over.
02:31:16.000And then plummeted for ages because we're like, oh shit, we've got all this technology and whatnot and we don't really know how to fix it.
02:31:23.000Some other guys made it and then they went broke and had to go home because they got overthrown and we were there like, ah, fuck.
02:31:31.000And then years later it's then turned into our great history and our great advances in technology and Yeah, it comes in waves, right?
02:32:49.000It's an amazing thing to discover the remnants of the past and try to piece together what happened and then really try to put it into perspective what has happened that brought us to 2014. All the different lives that had to be lived, all the events that had to take place.
02:33:04.000And all the different things that we're trying to still piece together today and try to figure out, well, what was going on?
02:34:46.000Look, when you think about Columbus in 1492, sailing off, finding the Americas, landing here, seeing the Native people, trying to communicate with them, what that must have been like, not even knowing where the fuck you landed.
02:35:01.000You get there, and you see some people...
02:35:04.000And they're all brown and shit, and they got feathers on their head, and you're like, what is going on?
02:35:08.000How do I tell this guy that I'm from Spain?
02:35:30.000You know, 400, 500 years or whatever it was, from 1492 to 2012. I mean, think about, like, when they came here, the amount of time between 1492, the less than 600 years, 500 plus years, to today.
02:38:23.000I mean, look, it's probably a hard life living back then, but how amazing must it have been to be on horseback and shit 300,000 people here?
02:42:03.000It was crazy because obviously it's quite lyric based.
02:42:08.000We assumed when we first started going out there that they wouldn't really get that side of it.
02:42:14.000But it's crazy how in Europe a lot of people seem to get it more because they read the translations of it and are paying attention more, if you know what I mean.
02:42:23.000So if you're hearing it and you speak English, You're going to miss tons of it, but you're picking up enough.
02:42:27.000Whereas because they're not picking up any, they'll then go and read it word for word and understand it far more than half the British people who come to our shows and stuff like that.
02:43:25.000Do you get upset with people who bootleg your shit?
02:43:28.000I get upset that there's no shame over it.
02:43:33.000That kills me now that people will openly just tweet again, yeah, I stole that.
02:43:36.000It's like, cool, I understand that that happens, but don't come to my face and tell me that, because particularly as I've released most of it on my own label now and stuff like that, it's just like, you're not ripping anyone off other than me.
02:43:47.000But do you feel like there's a balance with people finding out about your stuff, because someone will take it and download it, and then they'll distribute it, and then other people find out about it, and then more people come to your shows?
02:44:17.000That doesn't cover the CD. It's like a respect thing, almost.
02:44:20.000It's just like, if you're going to do it, yeah, you might have some new listeners, because he told somebody, but don't go to your, like you say, go to your faces.
02:44:28.000I find it such a weird argument that saying, I stole this, but I paid for this, when the thing you're paying for has its own value anyway.
02:44:37.000It's like saying, I'm not going to pay you at work this week, but I paid you for the last three weeks, so we're cool.
02:44:50.000To try and just make it engaging and make people want to pay.
02:44:55.000On my solo album, I released a fake torrent that was all the instrumentals, but me just talking and just chatting and doing kind of DVD extras, kind of, oh, the drummer on this track was Travis Barker and shit like that and going through stuff, just so that the torrent that was first out there and everyone grabbed wasn't at the album.
02:45:13.000But then it also kind of, not in a preachy way, kind of said...
02:45:18.000If you're stealing it, you're stealing it from me, from the artist that you're into and supporting.
02:45:31.000I like to try and make things interesting in that way.
02:45:35.000Because again, if people are going to steal, they're going to steal.
02:45:37.000But we get an awful lot of people who say, I've not paid for an album in ages, but I paid for your album because of the way it's all coming from a personal perspective.
02:45:47.000Right, because it's from someone directly, you release it.
02:45:51.000There's a lot of things that people don't want to pay for online.
02:45:56.000Once they start being able to get things for free, they don't want to pay for them.
02:46:00.000It's finding the balance and the sweet spot.
02:46:04.000I did a spoken word show at Edinburgh Fringe, so it's kind of spoken word, but there's some stand-up in there as well kind of thing.
02:46:11.000And it stunned me that the comedy world, Louis and yourself and everyone, have found that thing of putting it out for $5 and being direct to the customer.
02:46:23.000$5 is enough for you to not want to go on a torrent site and hunt it down.
02:46:28.000It seems to be that sweet spot that people will be happy to pay, yet the music industry hasn't done that.
02:46:34.000For my Edinburgh show, I've done that and released it in that way.
02:47:06.000You need to be giving away stuff for free and engaging and building that crowd so that hopefully when you do have stuff for sale, people will pay.
02:47:15.000Well, I think that definitely makes it a better relationship, that if everything you do is just for sale, I think when you give people stuff for free, certainly like a podcast.
02:47:25.000Have you ever thought about doing something like a podcast?
02:47:39.000I mean, when you have a radio show, the thing about it is you're always going to be working for someone.
02:47:44.000You're always going to be, you know, uploading something to someone else's servers, and they have to decide whether or not Scroobius is getting crazy.
02:47:50.000This motherfucker's saying some shit that I don't agree with.
02:47:52.000We're going to have to remove him from our...
02:51:34.000Alright, so you can find out that and more on DeathSquad.tv along with all of Brian's products, the kitty cat shirts that he creates all himself and all that stuff.
