00:01:46.000That's how crazy the pain pill business has gotten.
00:01:48.000Think about all the dip, all the people that chew, all the people that smoke cigars and cigarettes, all that combined, there's more people on pain pills.
00:01:58.000And it's weird because they took cigarettes away from baseball.
00:02:01.000Remember they used to smoke in the 80s?
00:02:03.000You could smoke in baseball and you could dip.
00:03:48.000It must be like a focus speed they give or like a special something they found in there because I'm back in my days when I did speed I couldn't focus on shit.
00:04:00.000Maybe that's because you don't have it though because you don't have ADD, whatever that means.
00:04:04.000But if ADD doesn't exist and maybe it's just something that makes everybody focus.
00:04:09.000Well, I think ADD most likely is There's a bunch of behaviors.
00:04:15.000There's a bunch of different ways people behave, and there's a bunch of ways their mind works.
00:04:21.000And some people, they like to stay calm and focus on one thing, and they like peace and quiet.
00:04:26.000And other people are scattered as fuck, and they're thinking about a million different things, and they can't concentrate.
00:04:31.000Speed, apparently, for those people, helps them concentrate.
00:08:55.000Just those accelerants, any of those things that just, they fuck with your judgment.
00:09:00.000I remember there was this, I believe it was GQ, I was reading this article about this guy who was a lawyer, and he was this real successful lawyer, and he got involved somehow or another with a client that was a meth dealer.
00:09:13.000And so then all of a sudden he starts getting into the meth business.
00:10:54.000Bitches from the 818. And yeah, it was fucking fun.
00:11:00.000You know what's weird about speed is when I was in prison, you could tell that these people are still tweakers because you know how you light a lighter?
00:11:09.000Your thumb goes down and then when you hit the pipe, you spin your finger in this way.
00:11:13.000So that's how you're hitting a speed pipe because you're spinning it.
00:11:16.000I used to play handball with this guy and he would do it every fucking time.
00:11:20.000He would just spin his hand and light the lighter.
00:11:22.000Oh, he would make the movements with his fingers while he was playing handball?
00:12:14.000I mean like there's a lot of people that when they go to prison They're not druggies because to be a druggie in prison is to be looked frowned upon So you're a man in there and when you're in there, you're like fuck that.
00:12:25.000I'm gonna work out I'm gonna be strong and then when you get out it's temptation.
00:12:31.000You're getting it That's that's the weird part of prison So most of the guys, so when a guy's a junkie and he goes into prison, do they try to clean up or do they try to get it?
00:12:42.000Well, you have to clean up because if you don't clean up, they're going to call you a J-cat.
00:13:22.000I wanted to be that guy that was just, oh, look it, you know, homie's clean, he takes care of himself, he's a man of his word, and that's what people want, is when you get out.
00:13:33.000Is that, like, one of the bigger misconceptions about prison?
00:13:36.000Like, when you talk to people that haven't been to prison and don't know anything about prison, what do you think are, like, the big misconceptions?
00:13:40.000The big misconception is, uh, do you get fucked in the ass?
00:14:17.000And I was like, I was watching that, I was like, how much of that guy is, like, just making shit up?
00:14:22.000Yeah, like, there are stories they used to make up.
00:14:24.000This guy used to tell me, hey, dawg, back in the days, there was this black guy in Corcoran, and if you fucked up, the guards would throw you in his cell.
00:14:33.000And they used to call him Purple Passion.
00:14:36.000And they said he used to rip fools apart.
00:14:55.000Like, let me give you a, say me and you're a sellies, and usually have a job.
00:15:00.000That job gives you 13 to 38 cents an hour.
00:15:03.000I was a butcher, so I had the highest paying job.
00:15:05.000You would have been a butcher too, so we would get up at 4 o'clock, take a shower, clean our room, clean our cell, we'd go to work, come back, then eat with our people, go to yard, Fuck around for a little bit.
00:17:04.000You know, I can see why racism exists in prison because maybe there's this cop that came from Soledad and now he's going to another prison and the only reason he left Soledad is because all the Mexicans jumped his ass.
00:17:15.000So he's going to have a little like...
00:17:18.000All right, motherfuckers, you got me over there.
00:23:45.000Then I get jokes, and then I'm good at roasting, and MTV Your Mama comes out, and I get picked up for that show, and I win my first episode.
00:23:55.000Fucking guy that I beat up sees me on TV, and he's like, oh shit, cash, money, this fool gots money!
00:24:03.000So, this is the crazy part, is a lot of people say, oh, there's Statue of Limitations and all that.
00:24:09.000Since it's a John Doe crime, it doesn't have it.
00:24:12.000If you don't know who beat you up, You don't have a limit of restrictions.
00:24:17.000So until they find out who beat you up, then the statute of limitations kicks in.
00:27:26.000Yeah, it's, court cases I would imagine would be so difficult too because no one wants to do fucking jury duty.
00:27:33.000My friend Andreas Antonopoulos, who was here the other day, was talking about how he got out of jury duty by just explaining how much he knows about the judicial system, how corrupt he thinks it is, and how fucked up he thinks it is, and they were like, get out of here.
00:30:33.000And there was a riot happening like all on the whole other side.
00:30:37.000So we had to run down there and then they come in and they shoot you with paintball guns, but they have like peppermint, not peppermint, pepper spray in them.
00:30:46.000They're shooting you with paintball guns, pepper spray, block guns, rubber band, all that shit's flying off in there.
00:30:52.000And you're trying to run back to your bunk.
00:30:54.000The only way to get out of a riot is to show, they look at everybody's hands and they say, hey, no, your hands are marked.
00:31:00.000Any mark you have, you're going to the hole.
00:31:02.000So have your marks on your hands and indicate that you punched somebody?
00:33:05.000You know any little disrespect can trigger and start anything and you just have to follow suit Like if you're my cellie and the cop pushes or punches you I have to jump in for you no matter even if I'm going home that fucking day Oh Or the next day it goes down.
00:33:21.000You have to it's just what it is So the riot breaks out you get involved in the riot you get thrown in the hole and then what happens?
00:33:29.000I'm in the hole Man, the hole's fucking horrible.
00:33:32.000I get staph on my fucking ass on the side because they only gave me one bar of soap and I was in there for like 28 days.
00:33:40.000And then I remember I was cleaning my toilet with it in my room with the soap and then I ran out so I was just taking showers with water.
00:33:46.000And then I noticed I had like an ingrown hair on the side and it just got infected.
00:33:55.000And it's crazy because there's a little button you can push.
00:34:00.000Like, if you're dying, and I had a fever, and I remember I pushed the button and told the guard, hey, man, I know it's night shift, and I don't want to bug you, because, man, but I didn't see it, like, my ass is bleeding.
00:34:16.000But I was like, because you have to, I was like, hey, the side of my ass is bleeding, so you're going to need to call a vet, or not a vet, you're going to need to call, like, somebody, and he's just like, stop playing games.
00:34:25.000I'm like, and they have cameras in there.
00:35:56.000Wasco is a reception yard where like, if you're from Orange County, LA, Bakersfield, And I think some part of Riverside, they send you to that yard for reception.
00:36:10.000It's where you, for 90 days, you're on lockdown, 23 hour lockdown, and you only get like an hour of day room.
00:36:16.000And they're evaluating you to see how you act with other inmates.
00:36:33.000A level 4 yard is for people that have a lot of points, like violent crime, like, oh, he's in here for carjacking, kidnapping, and all that.
00:41:23.000And, you know, when it's there, you're like, damn, I want to Make a grilled cheese sandwich.
00:41:31.000So where we were at, they had those old heaters that are metal and you get your bread and you put it in the brown bag and you put it in there and 20 minutes later it melted and it's a grilled cheese.
00:44:38.000It's a button So the button attaches to the motor yes, and there's a string on that so it goes up and down So forces the needle to go up and I'll see here goes drive pin on top of the motor turns a spindle Turning spindle causes the connecting pin to rotate as the back end of the drop of the drive rod rotates with the pin the needle moves backwards and forwards Wow now and then you have to make your own ink and So what are you doing for ink?
00:45:05.000So you get the newspaper and you burn it in a brown bag.
00:48:29.000Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure Mr. Cartoon...
00:48:32.000Rumors are, I don't know, I won't call it, but I know artists that do, their friends are doing life in prison, and they send them patterns on.
00:50:43.000Maybe you would if you knew the dude was just so fucking good.
00:50:46.000Like, if you got, if you were doing time with a dude who was a known tattoo artist, like, uh, Aaron Della Vadova is a guy who did all my work in San Diego.
00:50:54.000If I was locked up with that dude, I'd try to sneak some tattoo ink in.
00:53:13.000You know, I know it's probably bad for you, but then I started hearing about women that would be like waitresses in bars and they would work there for 15 years and get lung cancer.
00:55:43.000So when you're in prison, you have jumpsuits.
00:55:46.000And everyone was big clothes so you cut the leg off your jumpsuit and you sew the bottom and you sew the sides and then you get the other leg and you do the same thing and then you fill it up with sand.
00:55:56.000Now you have a heavy bag so it's probably like 40 pound bag and then you put you just get a tailor guy in there if you know how to do it you put two little handles and now you can do curls or you can do forward raises it's like anything water weights I mean we it's wild how we still work out in there Wow,
00:56:16.000so when you were there and you were working out, there wasn't any weights?
00:56:19.000No, there's no weights allowed at all, because you know how many people were killing each other?
00:58:30.000Yeah, then I was just like I Don't know man like I'm offensive.
00:58:34.000I'll say something that'll start a riot and they're like nah nah nah nah All the races already said you can say whatever you want Like they planned this shit.
00:58:54.000I wasn't involved in it It's just so they had to like meet with maybe the guards went up to the white rep the black rep and all the reps was like Hey man, check it out.
00:59:02.000You guys we have a celebrity comedian here.
01:01:09.000Well, it's fine because people that can make people laugh, I always tell people, like, if you can make your friends laugh, you can make people you know laugh, it's entirely possible you could be a comedian.
01:02:44.000Joe, I was just saying at the talk shed, because you know how when I first started getting gigs, I'd always call Joey Diaz, hey, they're going to give me $700 if I go do Visalia.
01:04:00.000People say that about, I think, human beings need a certain amount of struggle.
01:04:05.000And then, when you experience that struggle, then the non-struggle feels so much better.
01:04:11.000There's moments where, I've talked about this before, but I went hunting in Alaska on this island, Prince of Wales, and it rained every day.
01:04:22.000We were there for six days, pouring rain, drenched.
01:04:27.000It was the worst, as far as getting wet and just being soaked and cold all the time, one of the worst experiences you could ever go through.
01:05:04.000But I was that happy because I had gone through the struggle.
01:05:07.000But nobody wants to do that on their own, you know?
01:05:10.000And when you're kind of forced into a situation, I would imagine, like being in prison, then when you get that Kentucky Fried Chicken and you get that soda, you're like, wow, we're fucking living it up right now.
01:05:25.000Fuck, I forgot what it's called, but you have money in your books.
01:05:29.000Everybody has money, and they do like a sell-off where they'll go to the local Vons by the prison, and you can buy sodas, cookies, and pizza, but nobody ever had Kentucky Fried Chicken in that bitch.
01:05:46.000To this day, I want to put that in my bio.
01:05:51.000Kentucky fried fucking chicken in prison.
01:05:53.000Kentucky fried chicken, I don't know what they do, but that is some special food.
01:06:48.000That's the weirdest part about the woods.
01:06:50.000When you're hunting in the woods and you lock eyes with an animal, it's like, it's...
01:06:54.000It's almost psychedelic in some sort of a weird way.
01:06:57.000You feel like you're in another dimension.
01:07:00.000I know that sounds so stupid when I say it, even I hear it myself, but when you lock eyes, when you're hunting, you lock eyes on an animal, the whole...
01:07:42.000This thing about it is, you get used to it after a while and it becomes normal, and then once it becomes normal, you realize how peaceful it is.
01:07:48.000Like, we're just sitting down in the grass, like on the top of a mountain, like looking out at a valley.
01:07:54.000And you go, God, this is so beautiful.
01:07:56.000Like, you would pay, like, fuck museums.
01:07:58.000Like, go to that L.A. County Museum of Art, and you see these bullshit exhibits they have there.
01:08:31.000Yeah, I was first time there so I wasn't used to like, I guess somebody told me there's no water around so you get headaches.
01:08:37.000Well, it's not that there's no water, it's that you're at a very high altitude and dehydration comes quicker for whatever reason so you have to keep yourself hydrated.
01:09:06.000It was like, when I first started working there, which I don't even know when I first started working there, it was a long time ago, but I remember the club owners would tell you, like, the city has essentially made weed decriminalized.
01:09:18.000Like, you don't get arrested for weed.
01:09:19.000They just don't arrest people for weed.
01:09:23.000Then, the state was the first to get gangster and say, fuck you, federal government, it's illegal, so you could buy weed everywhere in Denver now.
01:09:31.000In Colorado, there are weed stores everywhere now.
01:09:35.000So because of that, the economy's booming.
01:09:38.000Real estate prices, I think they went up 14 or 16% inside of two years.
01:09:43.000Drunk driving deaths dropped to an all-time low.
01:09:46.000Violent crime dropped to an all-time low.
01:10:30.000And then he goes, the only other reason we can't make it legal here is because every time they put the THC in the rolling things to put them in cigarettes, it gets too sticky and it messes the machines up.
01:10:41.000And I was just like, I never even thought of that.
01:10:52.000People that live in other barbaric parts of America, where it's hard to get weed, we get these joints and they're exactly the same every time.
01:12:05.000But it's one of those things where you feel like you're supposed to get mad at people.
01:12:09.000You're supposed to tell them, I'm like, listen, this is not bad for you.
01:12:12.000But there are drugs that are bad for you.
01:12:14.000So if I told you that this was bad for you and you realized it wasn't bad for you, first of all, I would be a massive hypocrite because I have weed tattooed on my body.
01:15:22.000I think parents that aren't honest about mistakes, I think they do themselves a disservice the way they raise their kids, because your kid doesn't get to learn from your own fuck-ups, you know?
01:15:32.000Like, I think kids need to know that you're infallible, or that you're not infallible, that you make mistakes.
01:15:40.000I used to do this bit, but it really does kind of apply, is that when you were little, like, remember when you were little, you used to think that they were real grown-ups.
01:15:50.000You usually get upset about something and go, one day I want to be a grown-up and everything's going to make sense.
01:19:04.000Then I realized what those guys are is, like, Super winners that never found a venue like sometimes there's super winners like there's certain people like I really think in order to be a Michael Jordan or Anybody that's like a super winner you you almost have to be imbalanced to the point where you want to succeed You want it all about you way more than the average person and that creates a lot of like relationship Like like a Block
01:19:35.000in the harmony because you're always thinking about yourself like I think a lot of those guys Don't find the venue.
01:19:41.000They don't find a real thing to be competitive with and but if they did They would get all those lumps especially with martial arts especially with jiu-jitsu jiu-jitsu is a big one man and if you can get through that You get all those lumps, you get choked out all the time,
01:19:57.000you get your ass kicked all the time, and through getting your ass kicked all the time, getting strangled and tapped out, you learn how to control your ego better, and then you learn, like, what's actual success and what is you just talking shit?
01:20:14.000Yeah, because like, yeah, Jordan, he was just soaring from college all the way up.
01:20:20.000But you can't do that when you get your jiu-jitsu blackball, right?
01:20:23.000Well, you can still, you know, you can compete.
01:20:25.000You know, you could certainly, I mean, the guys who are the best in the world, all of them are completely obsessed with competing and training in jiu-jitsu.
01:20:33.000But I think just for men, sometimes it's good to have some sort of avenue for aggressive behavior.
01:20:39.000Just get it out of the way so you can chill out.
01:21:01.000I watch that stuff from a distance, but yeah girls beat the fuck out of each other now that they've seen all these MMA girls who know how to beat the fuck out of each other I mean Ronda Rousey well first Gina Carano and Chris Cyborg those are the first ones like Gina Carano was like the first female superstar, but it never got as big As it is with the UFC. Like when Ronda Rousey became the first female superstar mixed martial artist,
01:21:24.000she became the first woman where dudes had to look at each other and go, do you think she can kick your ass?
01:23:05.000It's good to separate in terms of like...
01:23:07.000Understanding who's the best at each individual skill, who's the best jiu-jitsu guy on the planet is not necessarily who the best MMA fighter on the planet is.
01:23:32.000And to put that balance together, there's a handful of people on the planet.
01:23:36.000Yeah, it's just it's a so if you know a young guy wanted to Become a martial artist like it's so important of find a good school.
01:23:45.000It's everything It's everything you could find someone who's a knucklehead that just likes teaching, you know, they like hearing their own voice Yeah, and they you know, they have their own system and they act like an asshole they act like a tough guy and You could run into one of those...
01:23:59.000Like, we played a video on here a couple weeks back of...
01:24:17.000If you're a kid, you could stumble into that guy's gym, or you could stumble into AMC Pancration in Washington State with Matt Humes, like one of those small handful of guys that's among the best in the world.
01:24:27.000You can get lucky or you could fuck up.
01:24:43.000You know, you can get lucky and be in New York City.
01:24:46.000You know, you could be lucky and be, you know, at the cellar and at the stand and walking around seeing all these comics just banging it out and constantly writing and developing new material.
01:24:56.000Or you could fuck up and you could be born in, you know, some weird Midwest state that doesn't have a comedy scene.
01:25:02.000You gotta figure out how to fucking get on stage somewhere.
01:25:37.000Well, this whole area is a great, contrary to what people would think, is a great place to start.
01:25:43.000And there's also, because the Comedy Store has so many comics that went from being like door people to being headliners, like everybody who's a comic at the Comedy Store is a comic.
01:25:55.000You know, there's like a group of all of us and we're all in the mix together.
01:25:59.000From the guys who are still, I mean, I had one of the door guys on the podcast before.
01:26:04.000I think that when you do stand-up comedy, you do stand-up comedy.
01:26:09.000You know, and I think that Anything else like looking at it in any other way is is kind of it's It's kind of short-sighted, you know, we're all in this weird thing together in some weird way No, I hear you like when I first started I didn't even it was forbidden to go to the store Like that's what like I was told all dude.
01:26:28.000They don't take Mexicans there and I'm like, oh Who told you that?
01:27:25.000You know, because some people, I don't think they smell that.
01:27:28.000I can meet someone, I swear to God, and if it's a guy who's been through a lot of shit, you can tell pretty quickly into talking to him.
01:27:37.000They've legitimately seen a lot of character testing shit, like getting involved in prison riots or beating the fuck out of a guy and breaking his orbital bone at a basketball game.
01:27:46.000There's people that have done shit like that.
01:29:57.000It's kind of like how you say it's who you affiliate yourself with.
01:30:00.000And then, you know, when you come from the street, there's codes that just you're taught from the beginning that are going to follow you in there.
01:30:09.000So it's kind of like I was taught by the right people and the codes to go in there and just to come out.
01:30:15.000And to finally realize, like, hey, I'm not even going to gangbang no more.
01:30:36.000Is there a feeling, like, hoping that you could pull it off?
01:30:40.000I would imagine that something like parole, one of the big issues would be that if you know that someone's watching you and checking up on you all the time and evaluating you all the time, that puts almost additional pressure on you to fuck up.
01:30:53.000There's like a psychological thing that happens to people.
01:30:57.000You were talking about your brother putting all that pressure on you, and then you respond from it.
01:31:02.000There's a pressure that you put on someone when you're monitoring their behavior.
01:31:06.000And I understand that you have to do it, especially if someone's committed violent crimes.
01:31:11.000You've got to make sure they're doing all right and they're not doing anything stupid.
01:32:23.000And this is the crazy part, is this guy thought I was drug dealing, because I just got out of prison, and you're on parole for three years.
01:32:31.000So my first year, I got out, and I couldn't work it out with my baby's mom.
01:32:34.000She was different, and I became a different person.
01:32:37.000I wasn't that gangster that, you know what I mean?
01:36:04.000It's strange when you think about it, or does it seem like normal?
01:36:08.000Because it seems to me like, obviously you moved past that, you're doing well as a stand-up comedian now, you're out, but when you're talking about it, there's part of you that kind of misses the fun times like that, right?
01:36:27.000Yeah, it's just like, I don't know man, it's kind of like, I was places with people for a long time that like became family to me for that.
01:36:37.000And like, I don't know, I'm the kind of guy that like, hey man, when I'm your friend, I'm your friend.
01:37:56.000I'm going to cut you off, but this is what trips me out.
01:37:59.000I had friends that I was locked up with, and in Wasco, it's reception, so people come in and out, and my friends are like, oh yeah, everybody on this side, they get sent to Mississippi, and then they send all those.
01:38:10.000They're sending our inmates to Mississippi, Alabama, Michigan.
01:38:16.000And Michigan and they were getting a check from us.
01:38:19.000And then at the end they bring us back and they send us home from somewhere over here.
01:38:24.000Yeah, there's never been a time in history where a country has locked up more of its citizens than right now.
01:38:30.000I can't imagine there's ever been a time.
01:38:32.000I mean, I'm saying that pretty confidently, but I think they said that United States has more prisoners than...
01:38:39.000It was a giant number when they compared it to the rest of the world.
01:41:07.000I don't know, but I would imagine if they made people work in your prison, and we've always seen people working in prisons, I would always assume that that's a big part of it.
01:41:24.000When I was like, it's probably a hack joke and I don't even know it, but when I was a kid, Live Free or Die was on the New Hampshire license plate.
01:43:40.000You know what they're going to say in the future?
01:43:41.000They're going to look back and they're going to go, oh, this is a hilarious point in history because the people then didn't know that they had slaves.
01:43:54.000They were like, slavery doesn't exist anymore.
01:43:55.000But meanwhile, that is exactly what slavery is, regardless of what they did.
01:44:01.000If someone murdered someone, there's an argument that they should be locked up.
01:44:05.000But when they're working for 38 cents an hour because they murdered somebody, and they're making shit that people are buying, they're slaves.
01:44:14.000Even if just the government's buying it, that's a slave.
01:44:24.000You know, because people have always said, well, slavery is barbaric.
01:44:27.000If you didn't know our culture, and you didn't know we accept this form of slavery as being punishment, restitution, And you didn't know that some people that are in there absolutely don't deserve to be in there, or were railroaded on trumped-up charges.
01:44:43.000There's a percentage, whether it's one out of a hundred or whatever the fuck it is, that person's a real person in jail right now, and they're working as a slave to make body armor for 38 cents an hour.
01:46:34.000Then they actually went extinct in North America and they were brought here from other parts of the world where they originated in North America.
01:51:13.000And you know, the crazy part is they say that Cortez tripped out when he was like, these fuckers have irrigation perfect, there's sewers perfect, everything's built perfect, but why are they cutting people's heads off and throwing these guys down the steps?
01:51:28.000Well, if you look at the Mayan pyramids and some of the Aztec architecture that they developed in that part of the world, like they were on some crazy level that very few civilizations have ever been on.
01:51:39.000The Mayan temples all aligned constellations, or at least most of them do.
01:51:44.000So they had some sort of a deep knowledge and understanding of what they were seeing in the solar system.
01:51:48.000There's also a lot of evidence apparently that they understood about the wobble, like the earth has a wobble called the procession of equinoxes and this wobble, it's like the earth doesn't spin in a perfect circle.
01:52:00.000The earth spins in this like 26,000 year wobble.
01:52:04.000I think it's 26,000 years, but the point is it doesn't spin perfectly and the stars change their position in the sky depending upon where in that cycle you are.
01:53:05.000There's a few moments in history that I would really love to go back and just live in an invisible, bulletproof bubble and just be able to sit in the middle of a town and just watch these people.
01:55:20.000We hired this guide who was a professor at a local university, and he doubled as a guide, and he'd give you a historical lesson about the entire place.
01:55:30.000It was amazing, because this guy knew so much about Mayan history, and he also said that they were really into eating psychedelic plants.
01:55:38.000He said that there was this place that would go that something had like lysergic acid in it, which is like one of the elements in LSD, apparently.
01:56:49.000I wouldn't want to live in any of those times.
01:56:51.000But I would want to, if I could ever, if someone does legitimately one day come up with a time machine and say, it's like, dude, it's 10 grand, but you can go back and go to Egypt for like an hour.
01:59:14.000Well, that was one of the things they said about Genghis Khan, that when Genghis Khan died, they buried him, and then they killed all the people that buried him, and then they killed the people that killed the people that buried him.
01:59:54.000No, I think they have to, they have rituals.
01:59:56.000Like, I think, you know, in order to, if you're a Mongol, in order to make it to the next stage of life, you probably have some, they probably have some crazy rituals.
02:00:05.000Yeah, you're gonna come back with a motorcycle.
02:00:08.000But that point in history seems like it would be pretty insane.
02:00:11.000They said that Genghis Khan killed like 10% of the, there was a New York Times article about it, that he killed 10% of the world's population and He apparently changed the carbon footprint of the human race, meaning it killed so many fucking people.
02:01:10.000$1.99 a show or something like that, but they're hours and hours long folks there I can't I can't it used to be free But he does like the first X amount of free and then because he only does them like it takes months to put one of these out It's not like asking someone to pay for a regular podcast.
02:02:11.000There's a world that you experience when you're in the county and a riot breaks out.
02:02:14.000This world's very different than the world that most people experience.
02:02:18.000But our world itself, like all the variables that we know that are possible, whether it's prison or war or all these things that we know to be possible, they're very different than it was 1,000 years ago or 2,000 or whatever the Egypt was 4,500 plus years ago that they were building the Great Pyramid apparently.
02:02:35.000Yeah, fucking life would have been crazy.
02:02:39.000When they say the Great Pyramid, I think they said it's 2,500 B.C. is when they carbon test it, like some of the stuff in it, which is...
02:02:48.0004,000 plus years ago, you'd have to like hold your head.
02:02:52.000You would hurt your head to think of how long ago that was.
02:02:55.000Hundreds and hundreds of years and people living and dying and change occurring and things and the climate shifts and the, you know, the earthquakes, catastrophe.
02:03:11.000These motherfuckers built some insane shit that we can't barely build today.
02:03:16.000We would have to have a team of engineers from all over the world with the biggest cranes ever to try to put together one of those in just a decade or two decades.
02:03:27.000Imagine, like, the machines wouldn't even work in that climate.
02:03:30.000They wouldn't even know how to adjust to the sand.
02:04:21.000They thought that they had slaves until pretty recently, but now they realize by the quality of the food and the pottery that they had in their shelters that they were highly paid workers.
02:05:09.000Because I think none of them address the possibility that they had some kind of technology or understanding that we don't have anymore.
02:05:18.000Whether it's some sort of a machine they created or some sort of a lever system they created.
02:05:22.000It is entirely possible that, like, when you're talking about your time in prison, or people making tattoo guns out of...
02:05:28.000Wire and you know taking something from a broom and sharpen it and sterilizing it and making the soot and doing it for days like that kind of ingenuity just in three years of prison imagine three thousand plus years of people trying to get by And make do during this weird time where there's no electricity,
02:06:05.000They say that the way that the sun hits a certain thing in there...
02:06:11.000Well, some of them, yeah, but it depends on what time of year.
02:06:14.000Again, because of that precession of the equinoxes, the way the Earth wobbles, it depends on what time of year, it depends on what year the cycle is.
02:06:23.000This precession of the equinoxes also points to the fact that that Sphinx, at one point in time, probably, I think, somewhere like 10,500 years ago, faced the Sun.
02:08:46.000There's some archaeologists that refuse to believe it because that would indicate that it was made somewhere, not just 9000 BC, but thousands of years before that because it has thousands of years of water erosion on it.
02:08:58.000They think that erosion is wind and sand.
02:09:01.000It's a real hotly debated subject, and I'm not really smart enough or educated enough to make a call either way, but when I look at it, and you listen to geologists like this guy, Dr. Robert Schock from Boston University, kind of staked his reputation on it, because he's received a lot of criticism,
02:09:17.000but he's like, this is thousands of years of rainfall that's made this erode like this.
02:09:23.000Which means they built that thing thousands of years even before that.
02:09:27.000Like, we want to think that the Egyptian civilization neatly arrived around 2500 BC. And there's no way it could be any earlier than that because, you know, people just back then didn't know anything.
02:09:37.000Well, how the fuck did they know how to do it then?
02:10:54.000So instead of conveying pure intent, instead of anything you're saying conveying pure intent, there's this giant variable of what you can and can't say, what you should and shouldn't be able to say, what is offensive to some people, what you think is okay because you feel this and you feel that.
02:11:14.000There's so much going on with the English language.
02:11:16.000But you've got to think that if your language was based In images, it would probably have a different feel to it.
02:11:23.000I would wonder what that feel would be like.
02:11:26.000That's interesting how you said that, yeah, because we sound shit out and others like, no, this is what it means.
02:11:31.000They must have, they obviously have a spoken language that's really weird, too.
02:11:35.000I don't know what the Egyptians spoke.
02:11:37.000I want to say they probably spoke Egyptian.
02:14:39.000I think they said that if an asteroid that size, like the one that killed the dinosaurs, the one that hit the Yucatan, they said that within seconds, it was miles deep into the Earth.
02:15:10.000No, something the size of a city to go miles deep in the earth within seconds.
02:15:16.000That's I would want to see that for some like my sick mind I would want to see that just to look down to see what's in there Yeah, I've seen those animated ones they do online you get a look at like an ad but you know that's not really happening It doesn't really have the same effect like you're okay.
02:15:32.000I get that's what it would look like But I think seeing it happen seeing that thing coming down What's fucked up is man you look up at the moon and it's just covered in craters and Covered.
02:15:45.000You go, well, the moon is just, man, why does the moon keep getting hit?
02:17:23.000Yeah, I remember one time I had this thought where I was just like, what if humans are so smooth that we've already been on Mars and Saturn and all that and we just fuck them up so we can't live there no more and that's why we're here and that's why we keep looking.
02:20:52.000They had these drawings in clay tablets where they had to picture the sun, and they would picture it would have Earth, it would have Venus, it had Jupiter, all these planets.
02:21:01.000Like, the big ones were where the big ones were, the smaller ones were the small...
02:21:49.000It's fun to believe because he thinks that we were created by aliens.
02:21:52.000He thinks aliens came from a planet called Nibiru and they came down here and they did genetic manipulations with lower primates and they created human beings.
02:25:33.000Yeah, man, that's a sad thing because when I was doing construction on the East Coast, you would run across these buildings that had these old-school nails.
02:25:46.000It wasn't like a circle with a straight line.
02:25:49.000Like, you know, a nail has a point at the end of it, but then it's a perfect kind of a perfect cylinder all the way up to the top and it's got a flat head.
02:26:30.000I pulled a gang of those out of buildings when I was a kid.
02:26:33.000But it's kind of sad, in a way, because these houses that were made this way, like someday, people would love to see that and go, whoa, this is like a piece of history.
02:28:13.000We call them thin just really thin long boards and in between was this white plastery shit and there was plaster over the outside like shingles like long like shingles but like little thin boards like you know like not even a half inch thick by like maybe an inch or so wide and they had those kind of nails that put them into the studs I got you now Yeah,
02:28:35.000and so you'd pull those nails out, and you'd always recognize them, like, wow, this is an old fucking house.
02:28:39.000Because New England was an old place, you know?
02:28:42.000I mean, you could go to New England today and see there's graves that you could visit that are from, like, the 1700s.
02:29:08.000The only reason why you should bury people well, it's also what we're doing is we are We're keeping the natural process of us becoming useful to the world Because like when things die those things are absorbed by the environment.
02:29:23.000There's a system in place set up and I mean, if you just buried someone, if you just opened up a hole, put them in the ground, and buried them, the natural course of order would take place.
02:29:33.000The bacteria in their body would break down their body.
02:31:54.000Thousands of dollars in debt like that.
02:31:56.000Yeah, and it's mandatory and it's mandatory I mean, I guess there must be some sort of programs in place to take care of bodies when people can't afford anything I mean, I would imagine there is but Just the practice itself the fact that it's not just common.
02:32:10.000That's the standard practice It's a crazy way to take care of bodies man.
02:32:13.000It's ridiculous Yeah, like I remember like telling my kids like a if there's any way you can make it happen I want to be buried in this fucking backyard right here If you could make it happen, but then they're going to go to jail.
02:33:39.000Why do we have to all be together in death only?
02:33:42.000Death only you get a small spot and then a couple feet over is another person and you have to be buried in these areas where we designate that people go to cry and drop flowers.
02:34:46.000The way to not go is the fucking formaldehyde.
02:34:49.000Because the formaldehyde, like, whatever use that you would have...
02:34:53.000For all the organisms that would normally devour any sort of dead living creature, a creature that becomes dead, they don't get to eat anymore.
02:35:03.000For some reason, we've decided that they don't get to consume your body, like your body is more important.
02:35:09.000Than all the other things that it consumes.
02:36:09.000You're supposed to go in there, and just, it's the way it goes.
02:36:12.000I think the problem is diseases, though.
02:36:14.000I think what they worry about is what we're talking about.
02:36:16.000But I don't think, if you're, I guess if they formaldehyde you up, and they drop you in the ground, you don't rot, so you don't leak into the water system.
02:36:26.000You just sort of like, just sit there and Prune up.
02:36:31.000I don't think you rot for a long-ass time.
02:36:33.000But if you did rot, I could see that like if you somehow or another got in a water system.
02:36:40.000Especially if you're dealing with a city, that's when it becomes impractical, right?
02:36:44.000Because if you're, like, New York City, small spot, less than, what is it like, what does New York have, like, 7 million or 8 million people living in the city, something crazy like that?
02:36:53.000They're all stuffed into this area, you know, way smaller than L.A. And they're all just jammed in there, right?
02:36:59.000What would they do if they had dead bodies?
02:37:01.000They're all stacked on top of each other.
02:37:02.000What are they going to do with the dead bodies?
02:37:04.000They almost have to cremate them or have to embalm them.
02:40:01.000Everyone's all talking about like over there in Saudi Arabia women and women don't have rights women don't do this all women do is cook and clean I was just like just be happy you are where you are They're not tripping.
02:46:48.000If I was one of those girls and I had a crazy big fucked up jaw and they shrank it down and all of a sudden I became hot as fuck and everybody wanted to talk to me, I think I'd spend my money wisely.
02:50:49.000I was just talking with my dad about that the other day literally because there's a kid my age that when we were growing up started lifting a little earlier than everyone else and he just all through high school he fucked everyone up because he was ahead of us all.
02:51:02.000He was a monster just because of that.
02:51:04.000And I don't think he would have been smaller now than he was then.
02:51:53.000So before the beginning of class, push-ups and hip scoots, hip escapes, and go down the mat and back.
02:52:00.000You'd be doing crab bear walks, walking on your hands and feet, that kind of shit, and you'd get completely exhausted.
02:52:05.000Push-ups, sit-ups, and by burning you out with calisthenics, you were forced to use technique when you were old.
02:52:12.000And then you would spar after all that?
02:52:14.000Yeah, you would do technique, you would do drills, and then you would wind up sparring.
02:52:17.000But most places don't do it that way anymore.
02:52:20.000Most places believe the best way to learn is actually to just warm up, do drills, go over the technical aspects of it, and then just spar hard.
02:52:29.000And that you should be fresh when you're practicing technique.
02:52:42.000Contrast with suggestions of stunted growth among young weightlifters, Betsy Keller points out that weightlifting may be more effective than other forms of exercise in promoting bone growth and density among adolescents.
02:52:53.000So it actually might be healthier for them.
02:52:55.000These researchers found that testosterone injections increase both bone length and density, suggesting that weightlifting's impact on testosterone may be beneficial.
02:53:52.000You look at a kid who's like the youngest brother and he's got a bunch of brothers that fuck with him, those dudes usually know how to handle themselves because you're growing up in a combat situation.
02:54:00.000Your brothers are fucking with you constantly.
02:54:39.000It's some weird genetic freak that they found in dogs called whippets and some cows that somehow or another when they're breeding these dogs they develop this genetic variation in what's called a myostatin inhibitor and it allows for some strange reason like this is a real dog This is a whippet that has this myostatin inhibitor issue.
02:55:03.000And these are some cows that have it too.
02:55:05.000And what it is, is they just grow way more muscle.
02:55:25.000It's really kind of fascinating because it points to this idea that these little animals, through this myostatin inhibitor, are like super animals.
