Tony and I talk about the Paris attacks and the church bells going off at a rock and roll concert. Then we talk about religion and L. Ron Hubbard and Star Wars. And then we get into the latest episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, which is a podcast by day, hosted by the comedian and podcaster, and by night, a religious institution, a cathedral, a church, a place where the bells are going off constantly, and we're in the middle of Melbourne, Australia. It's a crazy day in the life of a podcaster in a crazy place, and it's only getting better and better! Logo by Courtney DeKorte. Theme by Mavus White. Music by PSOVOD and tyops. All rights reserved.

00:00:10.000We are live in a hotel room in the middle of Melbourne, Australia, and next door to us is some sort of a religious institution, cathedral-type scenario, some fucking bunk-ass bullshit old-world voodoo house.
00:00:33.000That's got their fucking bells ringing constantly.
00:02:14.000Those old, we were saying before this started, that those old religious houses, those old buildings, they don't make them like that anymore.
00:03:21.000I've watched the documentary and I keep getting into this book, but It's so crazy.
00:03:27.000That guy L. Ron Hubbard was so fucking crazy that the idea that this guy could start this global movement that has who knows how many fucking thousands of people in it and how many fucking millions if not billions of dollars they've earned in real estate and how much they've pilfered from all these people that are inside of it.
00:04:17.000And that's really the crazy part, is I don't know, like, I don't, I mean, I don't think L. Ron Hubbard really got that famous off of, like, his science fiction.
00:04:24.000Maybe I'm wrong, like, I don't know, but it was definitely no Star Wars.
00:04:28.000Like, you would think that, and maybe that's why he did this.
00:04:31.000Like, he's like, I haven't come up with a hit.
00:06:25.000I guess she went to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding and said some stuff and everybody got mad at her and they charged her like $100,000 for it.
00:06:38.000They made her go through hours and hours of retraining and auditing.
00:06:42.000You go through this auditing thing where you have to sit down.
00:06:45.000You go through every single last detail of everything you said and what you did during the wedding and she had to apologize to Katie Holmes for ruining her special day and I can see Leah Remini fucking it up, though.
00:07:38.000If I was trying to take my afternoon nap, and this shit is going off, gong, gong, gong, gong, Jesus Christ, once upon a time, walked upon the water, gong, gong, gong, gong, gong.
00:07:49.000I think it's because of the France thing.
00:08:56.000There's real healing powers of the mind, and if you apply that to prayer, if you think that prayer really does help, if you actually believe it, it probably would have a similar effect.
00:09:09.000At least physically, to the placebo effect.
00:09:16.000Like if somebody prayed for you, if you had something wrong with you, and someone prayed for you, it might have a physical effect on you if you actually believed they could do it.
00:09:26.000Like if you had some Gandalf motherfucker hanging around with you.
00:09:40.000I think that there's probably all these untapped ways that we can help our body, that we can power up our immune system or overcome certain...
00:09:55.000Certain things that are happening to our physical body just because our mind believes it.
00:10:02.000They've shown it with the placebo effect that it's a real effect, that there is really something going on.
00:10:07.000But we don't know how to voluntarily use that without tricking ourselves for the most part.
00:10:47.000He swam under the ice, and it was supposed to be 50 yards, but his retinas froze because the water was so fucking cold, so he couldn't see where he was going.
00:10:58.000With one breath, he wound up swimming 100 yards under the ice before they pulled him out.
00:11:03.000Because he couldn't find the hole in the ice.
00:11:06.000He's got 26 world records and a big part of his methodology is about breathing and about over-oxygenating, like oxygen loading on your lungs.
00:11:22.000But he's able to achieve these crazy states.
00:11:25.000He had a Dutch University or a hospital or university hospital inject him with a mycotoxin.
00:11:38.000And this biotoxin that he showed that he could activate his immune system with his own mind.
00:11:47.000Things that we thought were only autonomous sort of Like your immune system, he's able to actually physically activate it with his own mind.
00:11:59.000So I think there's all sorts of different areas of the human body that we haven't really tapped into the full potential of.
00:12:06.000That's probably what the placebo effect shows.
00:12:10.000It shows that we just don't know how to stimulate, like the average person doesn't know how to stimulate those systems, but it is possible.
00:15:11.000I mean, I'm saying not everybody doesn't exercise, but they definitely don't exercise like successful people exercise, like Californians exercise.
00:15:22.000I mean, there's obviously not everybody in California exercises, but I don't know.
00:15:44.000I think there's also, as time goes on, people are just getting more and more Aware of the effect that your body has on your mind.
00:15:52.000They used to think it was pretty separate.
00:15:54.000Especially when I was growing up, I think people, often times very intelligent people, would look down upon physical exercise because they thought that physical exercise was a vanity thing.
00:16:06.000And then you had two schools of thought, or two types of people.
00:16:09.000You had people that were brain people, that were concentrating on thinking, and they were concerned with the deeper, more intellectual aspects of life.
00:16:18.000And then you had people that were more physical people, that were just trying to look good for the gym, pump their biceps up, and go, fuck, and yeah, with my six pack, yeah.
00:16:30.000I think now people realize that there's a connection between the mind and the body and also there's a discipline aspect to exercise.
00:16:40.000Nobody wants to exercise for the most part.
00:16:42.000You want the results but it's difficult to get yourself to exert energy and that discipline that allows you to exert energy It's hard to muster up and it is a part of your mental makeup.
00:17:00.000To be able to muster it up, to be able to discipline yourself to work out on a regular basis actually strengthens the mind because it It exercises the discipline.
00:17:10.000I don't think many people considered that in the past.
00:17:14.000I don't think they thought of the discipline of, you know, activating your body, like using your mind to activate your body, that you're actually exercising almost like a muscle, like discipline is like a muscle.
00:17:26.000And I think that a lot of things correlate, you know what I mean?
00:17:29.000Like, so many people are, like, fat and depressed.
00:17:32.000But, and they're depressed because they're fat, and they're fat because they're not working out, and they're depressed because they're not working out.
00:18:26.000Got his life back in order, became a much happier person, then got off the pills.
00:18:32.000He got his life in track, became much more successful, and now he's just killing it out there in the world, doing fantastic with his stand-up.
00:18:41.000We were at a club last night, the Comics Lounge in Melbourne.
00:18:45.000There's all these Ari Shaffir posters on the wall there.
00:18:48.000He was in town just a little while ago, killing it.
00:18:52.000And he's just doing great, and now he's happy.
00:19:18.000But I feel like it's like you make the muscles tense and then massage them out rather than just get a massage.
00:19:25.000But I probably should do them once every four months.
00:19:27.000When I was young I used to think that like the whole idea of being enlightened, being enlightened or achieving like a more balanced Yeah.
00:20:05.000It's definitely crossed my mind that, like, well, I do want to do mushrooms to feel better, but I don't want to do mushrooms because I want to be able to connect with that audience that's in the room.
00:21:50.000Like, I know for a fact there's been times where I'm out in that desert looking up at the stars and all of a sudden, like, I figure out the trick to everything.
00:21:59.000You know, that feeling clicks in where it's like, oh!
00:23:04.000I slept most of the time on the plane.
00:23:06.000But when we were at the airport, going through that security line, you were talking about the Popats, the guys at the Popats you saw when you were doing DMT. I kind of get that.
00:24:16.000There's an amazing fractal called the Mandelbrot set, and there's some 3D renditions where they show the closer you get to these various points on this...
00:24:30.000This fractal, the more the same patterns repeat themselves.
00:24:34.000It looks like you're getting close to a small point, but as you get closer, it just reveals a deeper and deeper level and layer of this fractal, where it's infinite.
00:24:46.000It keeps going on and on and on and on, and as you get closer, it just shows you it's the same thing in a smaller form, and then it goes on and on and on.
00:24:54.000And that's the impression that you get when you do DMT, that there's this, like, Infinite series of fractals that are going on all around you.
00:25:05.000The deeper you look, the deeper it goes.
00:25:09.000That's sort of what they found about the whole universe.
00:25:14.000They believe that as you look deeper and deeper into life, and you look deeper and deeper into the cellular level, deeper and deeper into the atomic level, Then you get into subatomic particles, and you get into this weird world of space,
00:25:32.000where it's mostly just empty air, and then there's subatomic particles that are blinking in and out of existence, and then there's things that are...
00:25:41.000Things that they've observed that are in a superposition, which means they're both moving and still at the same time.
00:25:49.000As you go deeper and deeper into the subatomic level, things become more and more like magic, more and more like science fiction and craziness.
00:25:59.000Most of what an atom is is just empty space.
00:26:04.000They're trying to understand it the deeper and deeper they go with this kind of stuff.
00:26:08.000Many people have theorized that What we're seeing in the universe itself, like when you look at the universe and you see the empty space that's in the galaxies and space out in the infinite cosmos, that what you're seeing sort of mirrors itself inside our very atoms.
00:26:28.000Can you imagine if they just kept digging and digging with a microscope and they kept going through everything and through everything and at the very end of it all there was just L. Ron Hubbard's face?
00:27:05.000So many new, much more sensitive methods of detecting energy and detecting and recognizing structures and atoms and all this different shit.
00:27:15.000What if it got to the point where they could detect deeper and deeper and deeper layers?
00:27:21.000And they actually really did find that inside atomic particles, that as you go deeper and deeper, you can actually find completely independent universes that operate on a scale so minute that we can't even comprehend.
00:27:34.000But if you could, and you got deeper and deeper into them, you would find little tiny miniature black holes, little miniature galaxies, miniature planets, and the whole thing is fractal.
00:27:44.000And as you went into them, they believed that inside every black hole, they think that every galaxy There's a supermassive black hole at the center of that galaxy.
00:27:55.000And that supermassive black hole is one half of one percent of the mass of the entire galaxy.
00:28:01.000So the larger the galaxy, the larger the black hole is.
00:28:05.000And they theorize that if you go into that black hole, you will find another universe.
00:28:11.000So each galaxy has a black hole in it.
00:28:15.000Inside each black hole is a totally different universe filled with hundreds of billions of galaxies, each with black holes in the center of them.
00:28:23.000Each one of them has hundreds of billions of galaxies inside of it.
00:28:28.000If you go through that, there's more universes, more black holes, and that's the real fractal nature of the universe, that every time you hit a galaxy, which is, in our mind, we can't even imagine how big a galaxy really is.
00:28:42.000Generations from now, what it feels like is like generations...
00:28:46.000Tens and tens, maybe a hundred generations from now, they're going to be flying through these things in little machines.
00:28:53.000We can't fathom it now, but we're like the pirates that were coming over here on wooden ships compared to what generations, and I'm talking a lot of generations ahead of us, they're going to be flying through it.
00:29:03.000There's going to be sports, race from one black hole to the other.
00:29:07.000Like, I mean, we are in the wrong age.
00:29:41.000We're pointing out shit that everybody should be able to see.
00:29:44.000We're pointing out things that everybody should know.
00:29:46.000And then we're mocking things that exist that are ridiculous.
00:29:49.000Well, if people evolve past the state they are now, if you look at...
00:29:59.000Primate behavior, you look at the savagery of nature, when just tooth and claw and animals just struggling to survive, and then you look at the more civilized nature of our culture today, the best aspects,
00:30:14.000when everything is working at its smoothest, usually in small groups, but in small groups and small communities, you can find some pretty peaceful existences, you know?
00:30:25.000That will ultimately be the whole world, and then it'll get more and more peaceful, more and more civilized, more and more adapted, more cultured, more connected, more enlightened, to the point where mocking things won't exist anymore.
00:33:04.000Very difficult to get them to rethink, to change these patterns in their mind where they go, yeah, actually, it doesn't make any sense to just go to some random death battle concert and gun people down and yell,
00:39:08.000Heroin, and the art that Amy Wine, she was always very genuine, like a real artist, and always wrote only her own stuff, and you can tell through her work.
00:39:19.000It was really actually amazing, and they show you through this documentary.
00:39:37.000I mean, we've seen it a bunch of times, but I mean, it really went to another level.
00:39:41.000And it made me think of Mitch Hedberg because...
00:39:45.000There's something with that drug, or, I mean, I'm not taking anything away from Mitch, because he's the one that did it, but it just can't be coincidence that these people on heroin are able to tap into some super, super mechanism.
00:40:18.000How could Mitch Hedberg not just see Stephen Wright and go, well, I gotta figure out something different to do, because there's no way I'm gonna be able to do that better than that guy.
00:40:29.000But my goodness, if he didn't do it, and there's something about those jokes, if you just look at them just written out, like, sometimes I'll see, like, a meme with Mitch Hedberg on it, and I'll end up staring at that.
00:40:39.000And I'm not a meme guy at all, but I'll end up staring at that little tiny thing, which were all the original tweets, by the way.
00:40:46.000Mitch Hedberg was the original Twitter guy.
00:43:01.000Since we're talking about the on-paper thing, you said the Hedberg thing.
00:43:05.000And, like, that's pretty funny on paper, but now if you really, like, broke down, like, if you were reading a Joey Diaz, like, on paper, what's up, you cocksuckers?
00:44:19.000It has to be this unique combination of his personality, his insight, his timing, his experience on stage, and his willingness to sit down and write shit out as much as possible.
00:44:53.000The more and more that I do this, the more and more that I do stand-up, and it's been, in May, it'll be nine years, and The more and more that I do it, the more and more that my newest material, my most recent stuff, is always the best stuff.
00:45:13.000As I was years ago, because I'm just writing more good stuff, if that makes sense.
00:45:18.000I'm writing less extra stuff, and I guess I'm writing the same amount of stuff, but I'm having more good stuff because I'm writing more in that voice.
00:45:28.000I'm starting to figure out what that is.
00:45:31.000Even down to the physicalities, for example, that I do, because I barely move on stage.
00:45:50.000But I'm very stationary, unordinarily stationary, I feel like.
00:45:55.000And however, you know, one of the things that I do is sometimes I'll rattle off things and I'll count on my fingers and I'll point some way.
00:46:02.000Just nothing too crazy, but little things.
00:46:05.000And those are always, you know, when I use that divisively, It has to work.
00:46:10.000So I have their brain sort of trained now.
00:46:13.000And it's just something that happened naturally.
00:46:16.000Because I don't really talk with my hands a lot and stuff.
00:46:18.000But when I do talk with my hands, I want it to be like thunder, you know what I mean?
00:46:23.000Have you ever noticed that Joey never takes the mic out of the stand?
00:49:37.000Like, this is his theme, and he writes his whole set.
00:49:41.000He writes this theme out, and then he performs at almost like a one-man show, more than like a stand-up comedy show.
00:49:47.000And maybe having one of those headsets makes people feel like they're at a different sort of thing.
00:49:52.000Like, oh, he doesn't even have a microphone in his hand like a regular comedian.
00:49:55.000He's got this whole thing where he's got a little headset on with a loop that comes down by his face, and I see that little loop, and oh, and it might maybe...
00:50:05.000It kind of puts you in a different mindset as a person watching it.
00:50:08.000I'm watching a theatrical presentation as much as I'm watching stand-up.
00:50:30.000I think there's something so cool about taking the mic out of the mic stand the same way Eddie Murphy did in Raw and Richard Pryor live on the Sunset Strip and all that stuff.
00:54:43.000But those batteries, they change those batteries at least once during the course of the UFC. They put a fresh one in the beginning and then change it halfway through.
00:54:52.000There's just simply never as many problems with wires as there are with wireless.
00:57:12.000That is just, like, a little, you know...
00:57:15.000And sometimes it is off, by the way, because I go out there first sometimes, and every once in a while, there's nothing crazier than you on this side mic going...
00:57:27.000And you bring me up, the golden pony, Tony Hinchcliffe, and I walk up, and it's like a 15-20 second walk to the mic sometimes in these big venues, and you grab the mic, and you're like, what's up, Melbourne?
00:57:41.000And you realize that the power's not on, and then you have to hit the button.
00:57:45.000Dude, it happens like 5 or 10% of the time.
00:57:49.000I don't make a deal about it or complain about it, but when there's a wireless mic, five to ten percent of the time, that's the ratio I'm giving for this, there's a problem.
00:57:58.000Normally they're not turned on in the beginning.
00:58:00.000It's like the easiest thing that everybody forgets to do.
00:58:25.000Well, they used to be the old ones had the antennas in the bottom, and if you got too close to the antenna, it would cut off.
00:58:30.000Like, if you'd hold it too close to the bottom, they'd tell me, even in the early days of the UFC, when I would do post-fight interviews, don't grab the bottom of the mic.
00:58:38.000You had to grab, like, or towards the top.
00:58:41.000And I would grab it, like, with my index finger and my thumb and sort of let my other fingers relax so that I wouldn't want to grip it too tight at the bottom because I worried that it would cut off the signal somehow.
00:58:53.000If you grab it low, like a fighter sometimes, they would take the mic from me or they would hold onto the mic as well and they would touch the bottom of it and it would cut off the signal.
00:59:41.000If I didn't have the cord, it wouldn't work as well.
00:59:45.000If I needed a physical thing in my hand that I was tugging on that made more sense, then if I was doing it in the air, the bit would be like 10% less effective.
00:59:53.000And plus, I feel like there's just something fun, especially when we're doing big theaters and big stages.
00:59:59.000There's something fun about that whip, you know what I mean?
01:00:40.000Caroline's would have two different stages.
01:00:42.000They'd have the regular stage and then they'd have the sellout stage where they would take the wings off the side and you would be in a sold out room of 300 people and they would be fucking on top of you.
01:00:53.000I mean Literally they could touch your dick.
01:00:56.000They could reach out and just touch you.
01:01:00.000Their tables are so small and everybody's stuffed in there and I think that that style of comedy, like there's a certain type of intimacy in those clubs.
01:02:41.000I feel like it's not supposed to be that way.
01:02:43.000I should have had more fun in Atlanta headlining my own shows or at Oddball or whatever, but it's like there's something about that OR. It's probably because it's the first place I ever went up.
01:04:19.000And yeah, I think that it could have to do with all the people that have gotten killed there.
01:04:23.000But I think there's also something to be said about that being a building in which every night there's this burst of energy for five or six hours.
01:04:34.000And then, ooh, back down to complete silence to where you can hear a roach...
01:04:41.000On the other side of the building, walking across the main room stage, you know what I mean?
01:05:27.000And you look at sheet music, which I can't read, but people who can read it, they look at that and they can perform something that was written down way before things were ever recorded.
01:07:40.000And those amphitheaters, those places that they had developed where they would have like a flat surface on the ground and these like tiered stairs all around them and they would have to project their words!
01:07:56.000Like all that style of acting was all based on having to project so that people could hear you.
01:08:03.000That sort of flavored how early acting was.
01:08:07.000A lot of early acting was very over the top!
01:08:11.000And a big part of that was because they had to hear you in the back of the room.
01:08:35.000With the smoldering that you could do now that you could never do before.
01:08:40.000And the HD, like, you can really see their face and the way that they...
01:08:43.000If they're upset or they're sad or anything, and now acting I feel like has been, you know, so amplified.
01:08:52.000Yeah, it's really interesting what they've been able to do as far as broadcasting and recording people's movements and people's talking.
01:09:03.000Well, even in martial arts, like we're going to go see the UFC tomorrow.
01:09:07.000I'll tell you, man, when I was young, watching people much better than me fight and watching them kick and watching them perform techniques made me understand how to do them correctly because I could watch them.
01:09:20.000You had to be around these guys to watch them.
01:09:22.000Like when I was a kid, I used to study tapes.
01:10:35.000That they're gonna get their real effects and real moves, like what they do, the kicks, the angles, that you can just practice with that stuff.
01:10:45.000Maybe you could wear a suit, and when that person hits you in the hologram, you'll feel some sort of an impact.
01:10:52.000Not to the point where it'll hurt, but you'll be aware of when they connect it on you, and maybe when they connect on you, their holographic image will respond as if they actually hit you.
01:11:19.000Virtual reality is going to be so fascinating.
01:11:21.000What they're going to be able to do with movies, you're going to be able to watch 3D movies where you put a virtual reality headset on.
01:11:26.000And you're going to be immersed in the movie.
01:11:28.000You'll be able to go through a crime scene and look down at the body and look down at the person who's trying to cover up the evidence and look out the window and see the cops pull up.
01:11:44.000All these different ways to experience it.
01:11:45.000Instead of being able to experience a movie in a flat, sort of a two-dimensional way, where you're forced to watch the scene as the director had laid it out, you're going to be able to change and alter the scene yourself by your own perspective.
01:11:56.000You can decide to stand on a chair in the scene.
01:12:00.000You know, and look at it from up above or get down on your knees and like look down at the body, look down at the murder weapon or look down at the grass these people are playing in.
01:12:10.000You're going to be able to manipulate your perspective and it'll change how you enjoy a film.
01:12:22.000Like it's like, you know, it almost, yeah.
01:12:26.000Well, like a three-dimensional game, like if you play a game, like Quake or Unreal or some 3D shooter, where you're going down these hallways, you can pause at any time and look at the ground, look at the walls, and it becomes like an interactive thing.
01:12:41.000And instead of, and it's still obviously a work of art, it's still, when you're playing a game, like if it's not an interactive game, or if it's not rather a multiplayer game where you're playing against another person, If it's just you versus the computer,
01:12:56.000you're still choosing how to approach it and how to interface with the game.
01:13:08.000And you're choosing how you interact with this piece of art.
01:13:12.000Like a video game is really a piece of art.
01:13:15.000You're kind of choosing how you connect to it.
01:13:18.000You know, I think that's very likely going to be the way we experience movies.
01:13:24.000You're going to be able to choose how you interact with it.
01:13:27.000But then the problem with that is, then it won't be, like a film won't be something that you really necessarily would enjoy watching it with other people.
01:15:36.000There's some people that do put their feet on other people's chairs, and it's super rude.
01:15:41.000Well, you can feel that in a movie theater.
01:15:42.000They give you that two-inch push to where you could sort of lean back.
01:15:48.000So you feel it every time, like big time.
01:15:51.000So then you're watching a movie, and shit's serious, and all of a sudden now you're thinking about What kind of shoes the person behind you is wearing.
01:15:58.000Or like, if they're even wearing shoes.
01:18:23.000I'm pretty sure that, you know, first of all, they're drawing more attention to it than would have been had they not boycotted his movies.
01:18:33.000They wouldn't be talking about Quentin Tarantino doing that.
01:18:36.000The only thing that they're talking about is New York police boycott Quentin Tarantino's movies coming out at the end of December, by the way.
01:18:47.000These things backfire when these people try to do this stuff.
01:18:51.000But it also makes people aware that what he's saying is irresponsible, you know, to call all cops killers.
01:18:56.000You think about how many cops and how many interactions the cops have all day long.
01:19:00.000I mean, yeah, it is terrible when something like Sandra Bland or all these different scenarios take place where people do wind up dying at the hand of cops.
01:19:11.000But you look at the actual numbers of how many cops there are and how many interactions these cops have with human beings.
01:19:19.000And how many different interactions happen during a day and how many times it leads to a real problem.
01:19:25.000Those problems, for sure, are horrific and they're real issues, but overall, I mean, to label all cops killers, Or all cops murderers, or all cops like that.
01:19:37.000It is, in a way, irresponsible, and it's easy to do.
01:19:44.000I think he said something to the effect of cops have been murdering innocent people, something like that.
01:19:51.000And for them to run with it, I mean, okay, guys, so what an imprint you're going to leave on this brand new Hateful Eight movie that's going to be...
01:21:06.000They all went to fucking Japan and stayed in cool little Japanese fucking, you know, condos with, like, sliding, everything was, like, super culture for them to really get in the zone.
01:21:19.000And you can tell that they know what they're doing when they're doing their crazy shit.
01:21:23.000Like, you can feel it in that movie, I feel like, at least.
01:22:21.000I looked over and I saw that image of the girl and the guy at the diner at the beginning of the movie where they're talking to each other right when they kiss before they rob the place.
01:22:31.000I'm like, wow, that's like the beginning of the stitch that ties that whole crazy movie together.
01:22:42.000When they come back to that at the end, and they're robbing the place, and Travolta and Samuel all are sitting there, By the time that that happens at the end, we know Travolta gets killed by Bruce Willis, you know,
01:22:58.00010, 15, 15, 20 minutes before that, that Samuel L ends up retiring from the game because of the bullet holes in the wall.
01:23:12.000Fun fact is I was watching it without the sound on.
01:23:15.000I was listening to music and just had my headphones off because I know every single inch of that movie so well that I don't even need to have the sound.
01:23:24.000Like it's fun to have the sound but it's also fun to like see their lips moving and knowing exactly what's going on.
01:23:56.000Those movies, it's hard to get me to sign up for a Bond movie or a Mission Impossible movie because you know that Tom Cruise is going to be okay.
01:24:05.000You know Daniel Craig is going to make it to the end of the movie.
01:24:07.000Whatever bad guys he's facing, he's going to wind up killing.
01:24:10.000Oh, he's almost going to die, but he doesn't.
01:24:16.000Yeah, there's always one of those scenes where they're dead and then all of a sudden somebody has the paddles and they jolt them back to life.
01:24:24.000What did I see recently that was like that, that I had a really hard time getting into?
01:25:15.000The end of the movie was kind of anticlimactic because you knew it.
01:25:19.000Whereas Even a movie like Alien, like the original Alien with Sigourney Weaver, you kind of knew that Sigourney Weaver was going to make it, but the way they did it was so clever and they fucking killed off everybody but her that it was okay.
01:25:36.000It was okay because it was so chaotic.
01:25:38.000I've been on a movie rampage lately and I purposefully didn't go see The Martian.
01:26:48.000And he accused him of being racist for his stance on Islam, like radical Islam and fundamentalist Islam being like a really dangerous proposition, a dangerous ideology.
01:26:59.000And he did it in such a stupid, clunky...
01:27:03.000Like ignorant way and look so dumb and so much forced outrage while he was doing it.
01:27:11.000Like you watch him do it, you go, oh my god, fuck this guy.
01:27:27.000It was so dumb that it instantly reveals How weak his actual argument was.
01:27:32.000He was trying to back it up by calling him a racist.
01:27:35.000He was trying to put him on the back of his heels.
01:27:37.000But you can't do that to Harris, because he's a master debater.
01:27:41.000He debates with people all the time, religious people all the time.
01:27:43.000So when you do that, he never loses his cool.
01:27:46.000Which made Ben Affleck look even dumber.
01:27:49.000And then Bill Maher is taking Sam Harris' side as well, and they're both going like, I think you're missing what he's saying, and he's like, it's racist!
01:28:31.000He was good in Gone Girl, but you know what?
01:28:33.000I think that was just an extremely well-written, well-directed movie that easily could have slipped Kevin Spacey in there, and it's like 20% better.
01:30:41.000Well, not only that, the guy's distracting him in the background while he's in this really important emotional scene, and you want to shame him by recording that as if he's an asshole, but guess what?
01:30:50.000The guy who's distracting him with the lights, that guy's an idiot.
01:32:56.000Besides the fact that he was an old guy as it is, but you think about what kind of stress must be involved in having a guy like that that you know is fucking kids and you don't know what to do about it.
01:33:09.000You don't know what to do because he's got this whole charitable organization where he's taking care of children and you know, you know and everybody else knows, he's fucking those kids.
01:33:21.000And then when it comes out, the world knows that you knew he was fucking those kids, and you didn't do anything about it, and you should have, and you were a coward, and it just starts rotting you out from the inside.
01:33:47.000If Bill Cosby, say if Bill Cosby does, if it turns out that Bill Cosby has cancer and he's dying and he wants to come clean and he wants to talk about it all, I would love to have him on a podcast.
01:33:58.000Can you imagine having Bill Cosby on a podcast before he's dying?
01:34:02.000Just asking him, how did this all start?
01:37:29.000He would have them sit down, the whole staff, like all the people that worked there, they would sit in his dressing room and watch him eat curry.
01:37:36.000He would eat his food, and they would sit around.
01:38:36.000They said he was the worst guy they had ever had come to their club.
01:38:40.000But this guy, who we're talking about, had all these weird tics, all these weird things that he would do, like make people carry his stuff, things that he would do to...
01:38:52.000To clearly establish that he was better than them.
01:39:59.000He wanted them to pick up his bags at the airport.
01:40:03.000But I think when people demand preferential or special treatment like that, they start to think of themselves as being superior to everyone else.
01:40:14.000Everyone else, you know, throw your rose petals on the ground so that I may walk upon them.
01:40:19.000You know, this idea that Cosby was better than all those people that he was drugging.
01:40:25.000He was better than all those people that were watching him eat curry.
01:40:28.000That he was better than that guy who he wanted to tuck him in.
01:40:49.000That's also the same kind of thing in some sort of a way that would allow him to have done all that horrific shit that he did, drugging those people.
01:41:00.000Nobody's really going to understand it unless he talks about it.
01:41:03.000Unless he comes clean and talks about it, we're never going to understand his unique...
01:43:04.000Yeah, there's one girl that they're pursuing that is inside the statute of limitations and if that comes through, he might actually wind up going to jail or at least standing trial.
01:43:25.000That term, settling, out of court, that's just bribing someone.
01:43:30.000That's what he did in 2005. The reason why we know about what he did was because of the deposition that they released once all these other accusations started piling up.
01:43:39.000Then they released the results of the deposition.
01:43:42.000So we got to know that, oh, he admitted that he gave girls quaaludes.
01:44:17.000I was going to make a Probable Cosby joke and didn't a minute ago, just to let you know, like, the ones that I don't say, like, those exist, too.
01:48:16.000The operations to remove a boy's testicles, in medical terms, was called orchidectomy, were reputedly performed by the butchers of Norica, an Italian region famous for its pork products where castration of pigs was common.
01:49:16.000Being a castrato could have unexpected physical consequences.
01:49:19.000The most famous castratis were trained in Neapolitan conservatories where they practiced breathing techniques for hours every day to expand their lung capacities.
01:49:30.000As a result, adult castrati were often notably barrel-chested.
01:49:35.000They were tall compared to normal men of their time, but they also had a shortened life expectancy.
01:53:41.000I mean, if I know about this and people know about this, people in the music business that actually are singers and that are a part of the industry, they definitely know about castratos.
01:59:20.000What a weird life that must have been.
01:59:22.000You've been married to the most famous guy the world had ever known.
01:59:26.000At the time, the most famous entertainer that had ever existed by far.
01:59:30.000There was never a guy like Elvis before Elvis.
01:59:33.000Because when Elvis came along, he was like, at the moment when movies...
01:59:38.000And radio and television, all that collided and someone could see a guy like that on TV, on the Ed Sullivan show, you know, swinging his hips and, you know, jailhouse rock!
01:59:58.000That guy didn't have a chance at being normal.
02:00:00.000There was not like, like today, if you're Drake, or if you're Jay-Z, or if you're fucking, you know, John Mayer, there's a lot of those dudes out there.
02:00:08.000There's a lot of them that girls will go crazy and scream for.
02:00:11.000They can hang out together and go to parties and go, man, life's crazy, right?
02:00:29.000But Elvis was uniquely famous in a way that until Michael Jackson came along, there was probably nobody like him or close to it or very few people like him.
