00:05:19.000My buddy Matt, Matt Lichtenberg, he's got one, and he said he gets on the highway, you press a button twice, I guess, it drives itself, and he just starts texting people.
00:09:05.000Well, there's a lot of- Kat Von D. All over the country right now, there's a resurgence in tattooing.
00:09:09.000Like, tattooing over the last few decades has become like a really respected art form.
00:09:13.000Instead of just like, a lot of them were like weirdo fringe type artists who just were really into it, but there's a stigma attached to it.
00:09:20.000You know, there's always a stigma attached to being tattooed up.
00:16:39.000Well, he says he's worth 10, but they say he's probably worth 4. I've read estimates that he, if you actually look at, if you take out the debt and everything and how much he puts into his business, if you actually looked at what he has money-wise, it's closer to $200 million.
00:17:08.000And then you can look at how much it costs.
00:17:10.000You can estimate what it would cost to run those based on employees and insurance and all that.
00:17:15.000And then they have to, a lot of times, I think a lot of companies, I mean, certainly if they're public, but I don't know private, but there are Statements.
00:17:50.000Dude, there's some shit that she just couldn't say nothing about.
00:17:53.000When they were talking about the pharmaceutical industries and the banking industry, the banking industry in particular, he was talking about That's what it was.
00:17:59.000He was talking about the speeches that she gives for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:18:04.000And then he's talking about how many...
00:18:06.000Why can't we get the transcripts from these speeches?
00:18:10.000What an amazing speech it must have been to be worth $250,000 or whatever the fuck it was.
00:18:25.000He's like, you can read the transcripts of all the times I've performed and did speeches in front of the banking industry because there are none!
00:18:49.000We go to this, and they have all the major issues, and you click multiple choice, what you think is major, and it goes through all of them.
00:18:56.000And then it says who you most likely should vote for.
00:20:44.000Dude, I'm telling you, you go to this site, for me, I have no fucking investment in this site, but you go to this site and it literally breaks it down.
00:20:51.000It's a lot of stuff I didn't know about.
00:20:52.000It breaks down very simple, and you're just multiple choice, and it shows, boom, this is who believes in the way you do, and this is who you should vote for.
00:22:19.000If she is more like Obama, if you look at the past six years, the economy right now is not doing terribly.
00:22:27.000And this is a guy who believes probably I'm a little bit more to the right, at least fiscally, than someone like Obama.
00:22:33.000But I have to say that, you know, I was preaching about how, you know, under Obama, if you look at his policies, the government's going to grow.
00:22:39.000The government, because of a lot of factors, it's not just Obama, but If you look at a lot of measures for how government has grown, it's kind of stayed exactly flatlined in the past six years.
00:23:19.000But if you look at it from a Republican point of view, one thing that could be easily argued is there's a common cycle of recession and financial gain.
00:23:29.000And this is exactly what happens after a downfall.
00:23:32.000So the downfall of our economy in 2008, I don't know shit about finance, but I've read a bunch of stuff that people do know shit about, and these cycles are reoccurring cycles.
00:23:42.000As long as the republic stays up, and it's still up and running, it goes down, it crashes, people readjust, some people find their way, some people lose their way, some people jump off buildings, and then it builds back up again.
00:23:57.000So that's one of the things that they argued about Clinton's era.
00:23:59.000They were saying, well, you could say that Bill Clinton was responsible for all that, but all the signs seemed to indicate that the cycle was moving in that direction anyway.
00:24:09.000It was just that trend no matter who was there.
00:24:54.000A lot of Republicans would tell you that the Republicans, once again, because they're not unified, have committed political suicide.
00:25:01.000The pundits that I've listened to will basically look at these hard numbers and say, you know, the people that you see supporting Trump, yeah, Trump has won, but for the most part, the popular vote isn't there for him at the end of the day.
00:27:41.000Listen, at one point, at one point, the United Way, at one point, I remember they had a special on it, one cent of every dollar was actually going to the charity.
00:27:50.000The 99 cents was going to running the actual company.
00:27:54.000Not only that, but like high-salaried CEOs, like the whole deal, it becomes a corporation.
00:28:02.000I was just rocking their hat the other day.
00:28:04.000That was a huge controversy because the two guys running it were making a million dollars a year and they were spending on lavish vacations and lavish conferences and stuff.
00:28:22.000But to be fair to those guys, but to be fair to the people running the Wounded Warrior Project, human beings, if you're working for a very big company and you make,
00:28:40.000I think they made over $300 million in donations in one year, they had a huge endowment, It's when you're working all day, and I'm sure these guys are good people who are working probably 12 hours a day, you're going to put a first-class ticket.
00:29:42.000Because everybody really wants to be happy, but we really want to figure out how to get happy.
00:29:47.000And the one thing that we can't figure out how to do is pay the bills.
00:29:50.000So we're like, fuck, if I could just pay my bills, I'd be happy.
00:29:53.000Like that is like one of the prevailing illusions.
00:29:57.000Well, there's a certain point where you make enough money where the bills are taken care of, which you're going to be happy and not stressed out about, but then you move on.
00:30:04.000Yes, it's going to help, but it's not the answer to everything.
00:30:06.000Yeah, it's not the answer to everything.
00:30:07.000It certainly makes you happier to not have to pay your bills, but how many people do we know that are super successful, multi-millionaires, out of their fucking mind, miserable?
00:30:18.000The richest people I know are the most miserable.
00:36:43.000I hold my dick up while they get, I want it, right above my beanbag, I'm going to hold my dick up, and you just tattoo another set of balls.
00:36:50.000People do get their dicks, they do get their dicks tattooed.
00:45:59.000I've given it to people that are good friends.
00:46:00.000I think both of you gave me that advice.
00:46:01.000I've had good friends that have been in a financial crunch and I gave them money.
00:46:05.000If it's a legit friend and I know it's a family member, I know it's gonna help them out, I work hard for a reason, so just take it.
00:46:13.000It takes time to figure that out, though.
00:46:15.000I didn't have any money most of my life, and then all of a sudden when I started having money and someone needed money, I looked at them as how I used to be.
00:46:23.000I'm like, well, if I help this guy out, he'll get back on his feet and then he'll take care of it.
00:47:04.000A lot of times, my experience with that is that, yes, there are plenty of stories of people who needed money badly, and they made good, and they paid it back.
00:48:22.000You know, they want to come to you, and if you just give me this money, I'm going to start this business, and that business is going to make so much money.
00:48:28.000And then as soon as my buddy gets in, he's going to bring his cousin who has a connection, and we're going to start this.
00:51:48.000A part of the personality of someone who keeps coming to people asking for money.
00:51:53.000It's so common that it's the same kind of guy.
00:51:56.000It's like this guy that has this elaborate story that he tells you that involves some new thing that's going to happen and when that new thing happens, everything's going to take off.
00:52:28.000He cornered me at the fucking store one night about some marijuana business he's doing and wants me to get involved, and they'll give me equity.
00:53:11.000Yeah, I mean the people that need your help or need your money in that bad of a way where they go out of their way to get your face about it They're looking for like a way to shortcut the system.
00:53:22.000Yeah, like the system of Making it as a comedian the system like how many guys have come up to you and go hey, man You know be fucking really cool if you take me on the road like what?
00:53:47.000I'm friends with all the door guys at the comedy store, and these motherfuckers, they put on their Instagram pages, they're constantly hitting open mic notes.
00:54:08.000We're going to be doing a live show, Brandon Shaw, Brian Callen, Fighter and the Kid, March 18th, two shows at Comedy Works, March 19th, two shows, Comedy Works, South.
00:54:19.000It's my first time in Denver performing.
00:55:18.000If you look at Frank Castillo, I think it's just Frank Castillo on Instagram, but his Instagram posts just constantly post all the different open mics he goes to.
00:55:27.000You have to be like, there's too much competition.
00:55:39.000I have this friend who's breaking into comedy, but this person has a large online social media following already, and then like breaking into stand-up, and we had a conversation about it, and they don't want to do the open...
00:55:52.000I guess I'm making an obvious that it's a girl, but I'm not saying he or she.
00:55:55.000They're thinking they're too good for it.
00:59:50.000There's a certain amount of, like, if I wanted to really go fucking Sat Nam, Namaste, and fucking meditate all day, the problem is I could kind of go there, too.
00:59:58.000Those guys aren't funny, though, are they?
01:01:04.000That's why when someone has an opinion, like, that's why I don't watch these shows, whether it's NFL or UFC, where I know who's paying their bills, so they don't give a real opinion.
01:01:20.000Also, I'm doing so well in my own shit with Firing the Kid and these live tours, when they wanted me to drive to Burbank to film the show and do all that stuff, I'm like, you gotta pay me this much, man.
01:01:51.000That's what makes the UFC special because you look at baseball, it's on a downward trend because they have all these rules and guys can't be themselves.
01:01:57.000We have so many personalities and to become a fucking cage fighter in your underwear, you gotta be pretty fucking crazy.
01:02:02.000So you get these cool colorful personalities.
01:02:22.000He did a video the other day on Instagram of him with his kid on his lap, and his kid's, like, being cute and, you know, his little tiny baby, and he's like, it's hard being hard.
01:02:33.000Because he's like trying to make a fucking hard ass face.
01:03:22.000The Aldo fight, if Aldo comes back and wins, and wins in spectacular fashion, like say, if Aldo and Cub Swanson have a rematch, because Cub Swanson and Aldo went the same way that Frankie and McGregor went.
01:03:33.000Aldo jumps at him, hits him with a flying knee, two seconds into the fight, and cracks him.
01:04:21.000There would have to be something you could sell that's...
01:04:24.000Like, when Manny Pacquiao got knocked dead, the Floyd Mayweather fight was off, but then he beats Chris Algieri, looks like a fucking demon again, starts looking fantastic, and you go, okay...
01:05:29.000I bet she hurries her ass back up now that Misha's champ, right?
01:05:32.000I don't know, man, because who knows, man?
01:05:34.000So let's say it's eight months, though.
01:05:35.000If Misha just chooses to fight differently and not engage her and fight the way she fought Holly, if she fights Holly and fights smart and measured...
01:05:43.000Bro, she was getting her ass whooped against Holly until she pulled that out.
01:06:11.000Completely in control of the stand-up exchanges.
01:06:13.000It wasn't like, is Misha going to win this?
01:06:15.000I was talking to Brian during the fight, and I went, Man, it sucks for Misha, man.
01:06:18.000She's always second best because if she's champ, she's a great champ because she looks good, she talks good, she represents good for women in the UFC. I would say all those things, great.
01:07:49.000But I would like to see, the problem is the time frame, but I would like to see Ronda versus Misha.
01:07:54.000But, what if Misha wants to sit it out?
01:07:56.000What if Misha wants to wait for Ronda, and she just trains like a fucking demon for AJ? Which is what Holly should have done, and they should have just been on this PR fucking tour to build her celebrity up so high, so by the time her and Ronda fight, it's the biggest fight in UFC history.
01:08:10.000I'm going to get Dana on the phone and have him hire you.
01:11:33.000You see, you can't sell Aldo unless Aldo wins, I'm telling you.
01:11:37.000How are you going to sell Aldo when he starched him in 16 seconds?
01:11:40.000Because he was a champion for 10 years and also that starching happened so quickly, people go, I'm interested because I want to know if that was a fluke.
01:18:44.000I mean, it is not just the fact that he was on TRT, which he most certainly was, but also the fact that he was training like a fucking monster.
01:20:15.000Back in the Aaron Reilly days, you ever see his fights with Aaron Reilly, hook and shoot?
01:20:19.000But you see a lot of guys who have resurgence, we were talking about this, like heavyweights and stuff, like Ben Rothwell, or guys like that, who, I mean, Fabrizio, you'll see them when they get to be in their 30s.
01:20:41.000I think they genuinely don't know how to move their body as well when they're younger because there's so much mass.
01:20:47.000I think if you look at little tiny people, one of the things I've noticed about having kids is you watch kids in gymnastics class and the shit they can do with their body, it's not just flexibility.
01:21:00.000So they're like moving their body around, they're rolling around, they're doing flips, and they develop like an understanding of movement.
01:21:07.000It's also being able to measure, like Chris Van Yerden was explaining to me how as you get better and better at boxing, you have to move less because your eye can measure shots.
01:21:18.000So instead of like really moving to the side, like a guy like that will just literally step back like an inch, get you to miss, and then boom, capitalize.
01:22:14.000He was a guy that was super talented but might have had a little bit too much damage by the time he got to the UFC. He started fighting when he was 17. Yeah.
01:23:28.000He's like, well, who could he cover underwears?
01:23:30.000There's nothing worse than when you ask a guy something and he fucking, oh, dude, I fucked whoever, Vitor Belfort up in round one of practice?
01:24:12.000Looks like the letter S. Well, he, I feel like, is in the same boat as his other Cuban compatriot, Yoel Romero, in that they got to the UFC a little late in their career.
01:24:24.000People forget, Hector Lombard was murking everybody over in Bellator.
01:29:26.000You should fight Robbie Lawler at UFC 200?
01:29:28.000No, I would say Dos Anjos is the fight.
01:29:31.000Because I think that Robbie Lawler is too big for him.
01:29:34.000If he's going to really fight at 170, he should...
01:29:37.000I mean, he could fight at 170, make no mistake about it.
01:29:40.000But if you look at the Rory McDonald fight, and you look at the Stun Gun Kim fight...
01:29:48.000He could, also, you could easily make an argument, and I think it's not even an argument, it's a fact, he's a lot better than he was when he fought Rory McDonald, and he's a lot better than he was when he fought Dong Young Kim.
01:29:58.000I think his fight, his last fight in particular, not just the Conor McGregor fight, but the fight with Michael Johnson before that, he's on fire.
01:31:56.000Look, is it possible that Conor McGregor, because he's an excellent boxer and he's got that left hand, Is it possible that we're going to see people game plan to say, hey, just stay away from that left hand, and if you do, you can just grab them and grind them into the ground?
01:32:11.000You're not going to get shit for that.
01:32:12.000We're talking about just take them down?
01:32:41.000People thrown in the towel because he lost at 179. You don't just knock out Aldo with one punch, destroy Marcus Brimage, destroy Diego Brandao.
01:33:01.000He went up all the way up to 170. He took a chance.
01:33:04.000Granted, he fought Nate Diaz, who's not a real 170 anyway, but he's a legit 155 who can't make 145. Nate can't make 145. You see Nate cut down to 55, he is fucking shredded.
01:33:16.000So another 10 pounds after that, that's not going to happen.
01:33:19.000But Conor can make that weight, so you've got to think that Nate is a bigger guy.
01:33:22.000And I'll tell you why Conor's still the biggest draw in the UFC, because, and everyone should take notes, the way he's handled this loss...
01:35:10.000Yeah, so I wonder how much damage he did and I wonder how much time he really should take off because it's not the same like there's obviously levels of it like Rhonda getting head kicked by Holly is like the highest level.
01:35:22.000The highest level is getting Gonzaga'd.
01:35:24.000When Gonzaga knocked out Krokop, that was like the highest level.
01:39:42.000It's just, does he have real world-class tools?
01:39:46.000Like, here's the most world-class striker right now in MMA. Wonderboy.
01:39:51.000That's the most dynamic and exciting striker in MMA. And what he's doing is, he's sport karate, but Muay Thai skills and wrestling, takedown defense.
01:40:03.000And that combination is fucking ridiculous.
01:41:21.000She had all of Vitor's entire body on him.
01:41:24.000He fought Chael Sonnen, beat the fuck out of him, and in beating the fuck out of him, he broke his toe sideways, twisted it around backwards, and he didn't even realize it until we were talking.
01:41:34.000He didn't even realize it until he had his belt on.
01:41:38.000And he looks down, and the bottom of his big toe is facing up.
01:43:39.000When Daniel was looking at him, sometimes fighters will say things, and he'll go, well, he doesn't really believe that, but he's saying that.
01:43:45.000Daniel was telling him, I'm going to do everything in my power.
01:44:55.000500 different fighters, so there's hundreds of potential matchups and maybe thousands if you count them all up, right?
01:45:03.000And, you know, there's a lot of disagreement, there's a lot of debate, but what you guys do with the Fighter and the Kid, Fighter and the Kid podcast, F-T-C-K, L-B-Q-T... TFATK.com is the website.
01:45:56.000And then when it comes to things like controversial things like the Reebok deal or any other kind of sponsored situation or anything along those lines where there's a lot of disagreement...
01:46:09.000If you don't let all that play out, you're dealing with a super dynamic sport, and there's so many different areas to explore, and all those areas create interest.
01:46:18.000And I think by limiting the conversation, what you do is you limit the amount of interest.
01:46:23.000Because there's going to be disagreements.
01:46:24.000There's going to be people that are pro this and pro that and pro her and pro him.
01:46:28.000And if you've got a guy like you who's controversial and says a bunch of crazy shit, all that does is blossom.
01:46:35.000And at the end of the day, you're not a bad guy.
01:46:37.000You like MMA. You love the UFC. Love it.
01:46:40.000You're genuinely intrigued about these matchups.
01:46:43.000You just have a controversial point of view.
01:46:46.000And it's also that, you know, with the Reebok deal or any of these matchups, when you turn on, let's say you watch UFC tonight, who's paying their bills?
01:47:30.000It would be a shame if they were, because it would be a shame if you stopped doing it the way you're doing it, because that's what's fun about it.
01:47:35.000What's fun about your show is that you know that if you get Brennan wound up, he'll start talking some crazy shit.
01:49:59.000You know, I used to always go bad on Kanye, and I went out, and I was like, why is this guy, like, everybody likes him, and I know people are very intelligent and speak highly, so I tend to, I looked at this body of work.
01:50:11.000Well, I think I could take Kanye down, but what got to me is I was like, this guy's produced a shitload of music and it's all different, so I went and bought every song.
01:50:21.000I bought every song he's ever done, and I spent three days listening to every song like three times, and I got the lyrics, right?
01:50:29.000So I was like, alright, alright, look, you cannot deny that this guy is putting out crazy amounts of work, and it's really good.
01:50:54.000And you can relate to a poor Chicago black kid because you grew up rich and...
01:50:58.000No, I can relate to an artist who says, I'm not going to limit myself, and I'm not going to censor myself, and I'm going to speak my mind because we live.
01:51:05.000He goes, I feel like people are crazy.
01:51:07.000Is it just about your Maybach and just about your status, or is it about something else?
01:51:11.000And he was very eloquent about how he spoke.
01:52:14.000You want a higher, yeah, you want a higher ankle.
01:52:16.000You want something that protects your ankle a little bit more, but if you're running heels, is what I use these for, they're fucking awesome, man.
01:54:31.000Like when I bought my Prius, which the lease is up next month, thank baby Jesus, I'm I bought it just for camp because I was driving all over California.
01:54:37.000The lease is up, but when I bought that thing, he goes, oh, you want a test drive?
01:58:15.000We've got to get you hooked up with a bunch of different kinds of equipment.
01:58:19.000Because with archery, one of the things that's really important, because you're getting really close to them, you've got to know which way the wind's blowing.
01:58:24.000It's like a little talcum powder bottle, and you squeeze it into the air, and it blows up, and then it goes which way the air goes.
01:58:30.000You've got to start listening to this archery podcast, as a matter of fact.
02:01:16.000Yeah, well, you know, you eat other stuff too, like I've shot a deer or two, and I give, you know what, I get almost as much satisfaction giving away to friends.
02:02:49.000So the black cans, they have more alcohol content, how they should be, how the tea is naturally fermented.
02:02:54.000So you want the black can that says 21 and over.
02:02:56.000It's not a black can, it's a bottle, and the difference is the label on the top, it's just the plastic rim around the bottle top when you open it is black.
02:03:06.000But bro, even the bottles are different on the 21 and over.
02:06:02.000Well, gut health changes everything, man.
02:06:05.000If you listen to some of my podcasts I've done with Rhonda Patrick, she goes deep into gut health and how important it is for all sorts of aspects of your personality, the way you think about things.
02:08:33.000It's so bad that Texas, they opened up a road, they had built a new road, and the night they opened it up, they got like 40 car accidents where people were slamming into pigs.
02:09:25.000So all those fucking animals that weren't helped along, like...
02:09:31.000You know, I mean, there's a real big problem with bears and deer and moose populations because bear and wolves especially too now, in the places where wolves have been reintroduced, because wolves give birth to a litter, right?
02:09:45.000So if a wolf pup, you know, if a wolf mom has like six babies, a moose only has one baby.
02:10:55.000What he does is he'll line corn up on the road like a row of corn like maybe like several yards long and then they get down there because it's a line they get down there to eat in a line and then he gets their heads lined up so when he gets their heads lined up he'll shoot through three of them with one bullet and he's always trying to kill like as many pigs as he can with one bullet to the head and it's That's crazy.
02:11:19.000But it's fucked up, but they do have to kill these things.
02:11:23.000So, look, if you can kill one by shooting it in the head, that is the best way to do it.
02:11:27.000And some people are like, no, you shouldn't do it, man.
02:13:53.000It's so insane if you think about what they can do now in comparison.
02:13:58.000Think about what they used to be able to do 20 years ago, what they can do now, and then what they're going to be able to do 20 years from now.
02:16:26.000So anyway, the Google Artificial Intelligence, the AI, for the first time has been able to beat the best player in the world, a human being, at Go.
02:16:33.000And Go, which is exponentially more difficult than chess, it's a super complicated game.
02:16:40.000And not only are these AI systems, this Google AI system able to beat the best player in the world, but it's doing it in some really creative ways that are freaking people out.
02:16:50.000Because they're trying to figure out how these fucking games, how these...
02:16:54.000Artificial intelligence programs are learning these games so well.
02:16:57.000They thought it was gonna be years before one could beat a player.
02:17:00.000Like a real world-class, top-of-the-food-chain Go player.
02:17:04.000God, I feel like a dumbass for not knowing this game.
02:17:06.000I feel like that's not knowing Lee Sedol.
02:17:08.000You could make up the rules, and I'd be like, okay.
02:17:10.000I was playing Sorry with my kids the other day, and they were totally making up rules.
02:19:42.000Whenever something bothers me, I'm usually kind of right about it in a way where I go, hmm, I know the message is important and I obviously am not prejudiced and I want everybody to be equal.
02:19:56.000I think I resent when people cram it down my throat and try to shame me or scold me, which I felt like the Oscars were doing a little bit.
02:20:02.000They did a good job, I think, of kind of taking...
02:20:05.000The piss out of it, you know, making it, come on, we're off, blah, blah, blah.
02:20:08.000And Chris Rock did a good job with what he had.
02:20:11.000But I always feel like when Joe Biden talked about consent, and when Lady Gaga got up and sang that song about victims of sexual abuse, like...
02:22:01.000So I do think that there is a place to say, hey, if you are a victim out there, if you're a transgender kid and you're thinking about killing yourself, there is value to seeing really cool people, actors that you look up to saying, hey, dude, it's okay.
02:22:16.000You're not a freak or it's okay to be who you are because that's the truth of who you are and feel empowered.
02:22:49.000And that's a big problem with the whole social justice warrior movement is that a lot of it is just really fucked up socially retarded people.
02:22:59.000Those people have found an area in which, if you support this area, you can be the biggest cunt in the world supporting that area.
02:23:07.000You could be fucking horrendous to people, rude to people, try to destroy people's lives, as long as you're doing within the confines and the parameters of that cause.
02:23:16.000And I don't buy it, because I think those are just terrible people.
02:23:19.000I think there's terrible people that found a good cause and they're jumping on it.
02:23:22.000But to be specific, I don't even think it's about...
02:23:33.000You see people who, whether they're in Greenpeace or whatever, they just are not satisfied with winning a victory.
02:23:40.000They are more interested in demonizing and controlling another group of people.
02:23:44.000I also think, going back to the Oscars...
02:23:46.000Yes, there's no black people, you know, nominated.
02:23:50.000Could it just be that all the white people had great movies that year?
02:23:53.000Maybe they never got the major roles, which is an issue, but it just so happens this year, all the great movies, all the great actors happen to be white, so you just chalk it up as that.
02:24:04.000It's a clever move, though, because Hollywood, they're such pussies that once you do have protests like this and say, Oscar's so white, they're going to fucking panic now.
02:28:10.000But this one just skewers the feminist ideology that you're supposed to just feel guilty for the actions of men that have done horrible things when you haven't done a goddamn thing.
02:29:25.000I would like to find the guy that has ever sued or taken a woman to court or tried to call the cops because he was drunk and a girl fucked him!
02:29:56.000Yeah, go to a New York cop and tell me you're getting bullied by chicks.
02:29:59.000What's funny is that was one of the subjects of the Amazing Atheist.
02:30:03.000His name's TJ. One of the things that he brought up was that he used to work with this woman who used to sexually assault him.
02:30:08.000TJ's like a big, sort of like, outside of doing his YouTube videos, he's, you know, kind of an introverted guy a little bit.
02:30:16.000And he worked at this place, and this woman, who was an older woman, and she was his boss, she was always grabbing his ass and fucking with him.
02:33:55.000The age of consent in Texas is 18. The age of consent, it says 18, but a law forbidding teachers from having sexual relationships with students regardless of their age.
02:34:19.000Can't even believe he's fucking trying his Spanish.
02:34:22.000Do you imagine, do you remember things that you would do when you were like a young teenager where you couldn't even believe you were doing them while you were doing them?
02:34:30.000Like the first time I had an actual sexual relationship with a girlfriend, I remember like we would be having sex and be like, is this what I, is this real life?
02:35:39.000This happened probably when I was 16. To this day, I think, man, if I just don't jerk off for a couple weeks, maybe I can get back there again.
02:35:45.000You're trying to get back to that super soaker cum?
02:36:16.000And I feel the same way about jerking off.
02:36:18.000I think in a lot of ways, jerking off is like a type of exercise because it exercises your reproductive system so it's not constantly ramped up.
02:38:21.000It's happening to me now when I'm hiking and I'm thinking about something dirty and all of a sudden I'm like, if somebody walks by me right now, I'm going to be a lone guy on a trail with a heart on me.
02:38:29.000They say guys think of sex every three seconds.
02:41:21.000Well, you don't know because there's all sorts of different things they're constantly working on.
02:41:25.000So what we're talking about is what they have in 2016. What they have in 2016 will be unrecognizable in 2026 because it'll be on such a higher level.
02:41:34.000It's all exponential because every single invention and every single technological breakthrough and every single medical breakthrough, they all converge together and they all build on each other.
02:43:31.000Everything that's in the Matrix is all gonna be true.
02:43:34.000Artificial reality, whether or not it's gonna take over the world like the Matrix, we're all gonna be locked into some fucking machine that feeds off your spine.
02:43:42.000That's probably not gonna happen, but what is definitely gonna happen is virtual reality is gonna be indistinguishable from regular reality.
02:43:47.000I always leave scared when we do these podcasts.
02:43:58.000Because anybody who's ever lived ever, at any time, you can go back to Rome and grab Julius Caesar and take him to 2016. He would be like...
02:54:26.000However, it appeared that the initial tweet was sent without much verification as to whether Trump armbands were a legitimate campaign memorabilia sported unironically by dutiful supporters of the GOP presidential hopeful.
02:54:43.000Not long after the image hit Twitter, hard users began pointing out that the Trump supporters looked awfully familiar.
02:56:50.000If they did come up with big dick pills, like those commercials that Ron Jeremy used to sell at 3 o'clock in the morning, if it was real, if those pills really did make your dick bigger, it would be about 30 seconds before the first guy died of an overdose.
02:57:03.000I'm like, because no one's taking one pill.
02:57:14.000I said they would turn into giant flying squirrel pussy people.
02:57:17.000They would just be able to, dudes with big dicks, they'd have them in shopping carts, they'd be chasing these girls to the top of cliffs, and the women would just leap to safety.
02:57:26.000Open their pussy up like a giant flying squirrel.
02:57:30.000Imagine what kind of weird shapes people are going to come into.
02:57:34.000Like, now, what we're dealing with now is people that are starting to explore the possibility of modifying their body with tattoos or with piercings or weird shit.
02:59:37.000But if someone can take the shortcut, don't you think the masses, if they can take the shortcut to doing that, they're not going to put the work in?
02:59:52.000Yeah, so if you're really good at something, if you're really good at whatever you want to be, I wonder if...
02:59:57.000For example, what I like about tennis, what you like about archery, what you like about boxing, whatever it is, is the repetition and the state it puts you in and the slow attrition of a skill set is immensely satisfying, right?
03:00:12.000I wonder if you can just do it right away.
03:00:38.000Just a big ass dude skateboarding like Tony Hawk.
03:00:41.000I think who you are right now is based on what our ideas are right now about what people want and what people need and what makes us happy.
03:00:48.000One of the things that makes us happy is overcoming adversity, trying to figure out puzzles, trying to set goals and accomplishing Beating the odds.
03:00:54.000Setting goals and accomplishing them is one of the biggest sources of happiness.
03:00:57.000One of the things that people say, like if you really want to be happy, you should have projects and you should set goals and you should try to accomplish those.
03:01:03.000And for whatever reason, it's probably just some deep-seated evolutionary reason, something that's in our DNA. We have this desire to achieve things.
03:01:12.000And when we do achieve them, it gives us this feeling of happiness.
03:01:14.000And if you don't do that, like the most regretful, sorrowful, depressed people rarely set goals and rarely achieve those set goals.
03:01:23.000For whatever reason, whether or not to create- And they hate on others who are trying to achieve those goals.
03:01:28.000So what it is, what we're doing kind of, is like some sort of a weird balancing act with our ancient primate minds, right?
03:01:35.000So our ancient primate minds which wanted to survive, they wanted to gather food, they wanted to figure out things like, how do I catch this fish?
03:02:19.000And is that actually a better way to live?
03:02:21.000It's a good question, but I think that you have to add another dimension to what you said, which is, yes, there is that evolutionary notion of reward that creates a feeling of, for example, safety and whatever it might be.
03:02:38.000The other reason that we seem to have this need to get better at something, like just say the violin or whatever it might be, I think that there's another thing that happens to you when you get really good at something, when you develop a deep skill.
03:02:52.000I think you get a better understanding of you.
03:02:56.000Like you come closer to who you truly are in your essence.
03:03:00.000The notion that when you do something for the sake of its own doing, which would be considered play, That's how you would define probably play.
03:03:10.000That's when you are the most authentic and truly yourself.
03:03:14.000Yeah, and I feel like human beings not only have a nostalgia, like a built-in nostalgia to try to find who they were originally, but I think also, it's just my general idea that...
03:03:25.000I wonder if, because the internet is bringing us all together, and we're getting a deeper understanding of what it is to be each other, in one way or another, and pretty soon if you can download not only information, but what it's like to be Joe Rogan into my brain.
03:03:39.000Well, if that's bringing us all together, then I wonder if the end goal is something in the area of deep self-knowledge and deep knowledge, deep human knowledge, sort of this, creating this neural net so we are all,
03:04:01.000That spiritual dimension, that thing that's hard to measure, Has always existed in human beings.
03:04:07.000We somehow always want, and I think it's where religion comes from, where inspiration comes from, we seem to always want to reach beyond ourselves.
03:05:02.000What I'm thinking is a lot of our ideas of what was valuable and what we want and what we need and what is just part of life, a lot of those ideas are only based on the current model of human that exists.
03:05:16.000When they start manipulating shit and downloading new thoughts in your mind, do you want to go fucking meditate in an ashram for 10 years and sweep up and just om all day in the corner?
03:05:28.000Or how about they just press a button and shoot some shit straight into your brain and you could read minds?
03:05:52.000You can even, like Ray Kurzweil, who created this sort of movement of Kurzweilists, the notion that, all right, we all say we're going to die.
03:06:01.000We all know human beings have one goal.
03:06:42.000So if we can download our essence, if I could download everything that's in your brain, your memories and your paradigm, your thought paradigm, whatever the words are, and then I could put that into a computer.
03:07:11.000Imagine the computer becomes a liar Imagine if the computer develops its own insecurities and it changes who you are and starts going down its own weird emotional paths.
03:07:21.000No, most likely you're going to program something where they're going to probably have to differentiate between What you are and what you love and what your memories are and all the negative stuff.
03:07:33.000Well, part of what makes you great and your essence, in my opinion, all three of us, and I don't know Jamie well enough, but I'm sure, is our reaction.
03:07:43.000A big part of our personalities, in my opinion, is a reaction to our shortcomings.
03:07:50.000Is the compensation, the measures we've taken to compensate for our Limitations.
03:09:15.000However, the experience is exactly the same.
03:09:17.000If you really are going into another dimension, you really are experiencing love in its purest form and forgiveness and just love.
03:09:25.000100% wisdom like all the bullshit and all the flaws of your thinking and all of the Ridiculous aspects of the world around you revealed in some Wonderful dance by jesters who are giving you the finger in a never-ending complex geometric pattern even if it's not real It's still the same experience.
03:09:47.000Like if you really do go to that dimension and you really do experience these incredibly enlightened beings and they really do instill upon you wisdom and you really do hold on to a few grains of that sand that slips through your finger, you hold on to a little bit of it while you're there.
03:10:00.000You got handfuls, but you just hold on to a little bit.
03:10:04.000Yeah, it's a little bit like, you know, what changed the way I... Argue is that somebody said, look, you may think that that person's point of view is shitty, or you don't have respect for it, or maybe they're acting crazy.
03:10:16.000To them, those feelings and emotions are very real.
03:10:19.000So if you start the argument by saying, like, that's why, if you look at, like, political discussions in this country, it's hilarious.
03:10:24.000You get gun rights advocates, and you have gun control advocates.
03:10:27.000The first thing they do is they go, you're a gun nut, and the other ones go, you're a bleeding heart liberal pussy.
03:10:32.000You start the argument there and guess what?
03:10:36.000Nobody's having a conversation anymore because you just said, I don't like you.
03:10:44.000You'll never have a marriage between the religious, you know, the people who are very religious and people who are strictly scientific because what happens is instead of saying that religious person is religious and he gains inspiration and a feeling that's very important to that person.
03:11:00.000And they're going to guard that feeling because it makes them feel good about the world.
03:11:03.000If you come in as an atheist or a scientist and say, everything about you is bullshit or that's a big fairy tale, you just shut down the debate.
03:12:16.000I'm hoping that once he becomes president, because he's going to become president, then he lets it go.
03:12:20.000Because what Ben Carson has said about Trump that I thought was really fascinating, he says, he's remarkably reasonable when he's not on camera.
03:13:03.000He breaks the system, because the system of special interest groups and the need for the campaign financing, when you get a guy like him, you really can't buy him.
03:13:14.000The problem with campaign finance reform is that with Citizens United, that Supreme Court decision, giving money Two, a political campaign is an exercise of free speech, and it was considered constitutional.
03:13:30.000So it's very difficult to get big money out.
03:13:34.000But what I do think will happen, and you're seeing it already with people like Bernie Sanders and even Donald Trump, is that we as citizens will go, man, you have big, deep pockets, deep political pockets, and so you must be a little corrupt at least.
03:15:10.000Alright, we'll be back tomorrow with Greg Fitzsimmons and also Thursday night I'll be at the Improv for Greg Fitzsimmons St. Patrick's Day extravaganza.
03:15:17.000We'll be talking about that tomorrow too.
