The Amazing Atheist joins us to talk about his experience with marijuana and how it's changed his life. He also talks about how he almost died from a pot overdose and how he got back on track with his life after a night out with friends and family. We also talk about the dangers of speed edibles and how they affect your brain and how to deal with the effects on your brain from them. And, of course, we talk about Stanley Steamer and his recent trip to the hospital with a panic attack from too much pot.

00:01:26.000I fucked up and had an edible last night.
00:01:28.000I did this, there's a show that my friend Jeremiah Watkins has, and it's like a make-em-up show.
00:01:34.000He calls it stand-up on the spot, where the audience will yell out, you know, fried broccoli, like whatever, and you just have to rant on broccoli, like what your thoughts are, try to get some comedy out of it.
00:01:43.000And occasionally, maybe one out of ten subjects, it will actually yield a real bit that'll become a bit in your act.
00:01:50.000It's really kind of amazing when you put on the pressure like that.
00:01:52.000So I said, what a good time to test the deep end of the pool and find out what these speed weed edibles are all about.
00:03:05.000I spent like 30 minutes talking him down, but finally, you know, and he seemed like he was like, okay, yeah, yeah, I'm cool now, I'm cool now.
00:03:12.000And then just all of a sudden, like, no, I feel terrible, we gotta go to the hospital.
00:04:22.000Everyone's got their own fucking home remedy for this shit, I guess.
00:04:25.000But here's the thing, like, once you've done it a few times, you realize, well...
00:04:30.000What the panic attack is, is essentially your brain taking an audit of all the things that are real worries that you haven't been considering at all.
00:05:13.000So, your podcast was the big podcast that kind of sunk Milo.
00:05:20.000It was kind of a combination of mine and yours.
00:05:23.000And I remember it was me watching him on your show.
00:05:27.000That led us to ask about that because I saw him on your show and he was like God at the time because I remember at the time he was on our show I told Paul, one of my co-hosts, like, Paul, this guy ain't no lightweight and he's got a huge army of sycophants right now.
00:05:44.000If you get in a debate with him, if you lose, you're a total bitch.
00:06:55.000Well, I think it sort of gives you a better understanding of how this guy came to be who he is today and why he so relishes this role of being the contrarian and being this sort of very difficult-to-pigeonhole gay man who's very conservative but yet believes in man-boy love.
00:07:19.000If you go back and you read old articles that he wrote for publications that he worked for in the past, there was a lot of stuff like, we're going to take on bullying on Twitter, and we need to make a safe space for people online.
00:07:41.000I mean, we talked about Milo last time I was on your show and you told me, you kind of put the seed in my brain like, eh, he's kind of like fake.
00:07:51.000And the more I've looked into it, the more I have to question whether or not that shit with the priest even happened to begin with.
00:09:07.000It's a lot of trolling and it's a lot of very calculated stuff designed to sort of rile people up and get people active and get people to talk about them.
00:09:17.000I mean, that's the reason why he does this tour on colleges.
00:09:20.000I mean, why not do it in the lion's den if you want to get the roars?
00:09:25.000I mean, he's doing it like where he feels like this problem is the greatest.
00:09:29.000Oh, he wants to stir that pot, too, because he knows if he just does it in some club downtown, there's not going to be any protests.
00:09:57.000I almost made a video about this article on the Huffington Post, actually, that was basically like, violence is as valid a reaction to Trump as anything.
00:10:09.000It's like, wow, you're literally just advocating for violence, and you think you're so enlightened.
00:10:44.000I remember, uh, I heard rednecks, I was living in Louisiana at the time he was elected, and I heard rednecks say shit like, man, I can't wait for someone to assassinate this piece of shit.
00:13:15.000And we're leaving it up to them to make sure that Trump doesn't get in.
00:13:17.000It's a stopgap, you know, like, because the people in power have always been afraid of the actual will of the people, so anything they can do, they want to safeguard, like, well, if the people choose poorly, you know, we want to be able to stop that from happening.
00:13:31.000Yeah, we have to, those uninformed fools, we can't leave them up to their own decisions.
00:13:35.000In all fairness, I've been around America and there are a lot of uninformed fools.
00:13:41.000You think it's like half of us are uninformed fools?
00:13:44.000I wouldn't even want to throw out a number.
00:13:47.000But there's just a lot of people that are stupid.
00:13:49.000I mean, it's hard to know because, you know, you really almost don't know what someone really thinks until you sit down with them one by one or, you know, one on one and have a conversation.
00:17:00.000So, uh, I went out, and I took, I waited on like three or four tables, and there was this one fat fuck who, maybe like, I mean, it had been a while.
00:18:00.000It wasn't seven hours, more like four or five.
00:18:03.000But I was just wandering around in a parking lot.
00:18:05.000I couldn't even stay in the IHOP parking lot because I didn't want anyone from there to come in, but I just wandered around the parking lot of this shopping center for four hours waiting for my girlfriend to show up.
00:18:15.000When she finally did, I was just like, yeah, I quit.
00:18:58.000Oh yeah, you know, like, a lot of people, when I guess they figured out I was coming on here again, I read a thread on the Drunken Peasants subreddit, where people were talking about, yeah, you know, he's gonna be on Joe Rogan again, and people were like, yeah, I liked last time, but I hope he's not so nervous this time.
00:19:20.000Like, last time I did your show, I came in here and I talked to you, and then I left, and I was like, I have no idea what the content of the conversation I just had was.
00:19:48.000I mean, usually I will watch everything that I'm in and just am in love with the sound of my own voice and obsessive and, you know, all that shit.
00:19:54.000But, like, this, this show I couldn't watch just because, like, I can't watch my CNN appearance either.
00:22:53.000So, when I was born, Thomas James Kirk III, because he knew he was changing his name to Thomas James Kirk Jr., but he didn't actually officially change it until after I was born...
00:23:06.000So, even though I'm the third, I'm actually the first.
00:25:52.000Yeah, I mean, the big thing was that he tried to pass all these...
00:26:01.000I guess laws is not really the word I'm looking for, but I'll use that.
00:26:05.000He tried to pass all these, like, laws, and they all failed at the ballot, and people said he was done.
00:26:11.000And he just went out and, like, he went out and made a speech that almost gave you the impression like he'd been against them from the start.
00:26:19.000Like, yes, these terrible laws, they are gone.
00:26:22.000It's like, okay, you're the one who pushed them, but whatever.
00:26:26.000He was really smooth at just operating with crowds and just knew what to say, knew the right attitude to strike.
00:26:33.000But in terms of actually governing, it was just mediocre.
00:26:35.000He didn't really get much done legislatively.
00:26:38.000But he didn't really, he wasn't really a disaster either.
00:26:41.000Yeah, well, that's what I was thinking.
00:26:42.000Like, I wonder how difficult it is to get things done.
00:26:57.000Yeah, I don't think anybody who's not doing it Grasps how complex that system is.
00:27:03.000You and I probably both know that the more people you involve in any sort of endeavor or project, the more difficult it becomes because you're managing all these different interests.
00:27:13.000So when you're president or governor or something like that, you have so many people that you're supposed to be representing...
00:27:21.000And they all have different ideas, and there's other legislators who have their agendas and shit, so it's probably pretty difficult to get much of anything done.
00:27:30.000Could you imagine the stress of that job?
00:28:28.000Because it's another version of what many people did with Obama.
00:28:33.000In this weird way, in that when Obama got into office, there was all these really, really irrational people that said all kinds of crazy shit.
00:28:42.000And by the way, Trump was amongst them.
00:30:11.000I mean, it's just this is almost a similar reaction.
00:30:14.000I don't mean it's less it's more rational or less rational What I mean is almost like the energy of the reaction like the energy of the birthers and the guys who were convinced that he was some sort of undercover Muslim and then he was gonna get into the White House and try to take America down from the inside like that Feeling that the amount of energy that way is mirrored now on the left Maybe even oh,
00:30:36.000yeah, maybe even past I would say probably I might not be right because I might not be remembering it perfectly, but I feel like the energy on the left of people getting mad at Trump is more powerful or there's more to it than the energy that I saw from people on the right that wanted Obama out of office.
00:31:03.000And a lot of the people now that are pissed are really young, so they're more likely to take to the streets and, you know, smash things and hold up signs and, you know, act wild and shit.
00:32:04.000But I think there was one towards the end where they had planned on having him walk down some long stretch, and they had to abandon it and get him into a car.
00:33:15.000And if a president gets past one cycle removed from his...
00:33:20.000his tenure then people forgive him they forget and they change their opinion yeah like Reagan like man when I was a kid Reagan was a pariah like people were so upset about Reagan they were so upset and there was the Contra versus Nicaragua trial that was on television with Oliver North yeah and we were finding out on TV Whether or not the government had sold arms and
00:33:51.000lied about it, and then the whole Reagan thing, whether or not Reagan sold arms to Iran.
00:33:56.000The great Jimmy Tingle, hilarious stand-up comedian in Boston, has this bit about it.
00:34:00.000That was when Reagan started claiming Alzheimer's, or when he claimed memory issues.
00:35:58.000It just happens over and over again, and people think it's new, and, you know, for some, I think, I guess it's the country just has a short memory.
00:36:15.000But, you know, like, it's just, I mean, like, I don't want to get into, like, you already had Alex Jones on the show, so I can't really get into that level of territory, but, I mean, I do agree that these parties are constantly just working together behind the scenes, and that 90% of the issues they agree on,
00:36:32.000they just make a big spectacle of the little things they actually disagree on to...
00:38:27.000I mean, there's nothing that's going to happen if I bring it up.
00:38:30.000I don't want to have that discussion like, hey, can you change your music because it's horrible to me and it's grating on my last nerve right now.
00:38:46.000There's a button that connects to your Spotify.
00:38:48.000They're supposed to offer you the aux cord when you get in the car so you can control the music, which is double annoying for the driver, I would imagine, but they're supposed to give you control.
00:40:00.000I think it's probably a visual thing too.
00:40:05.000Not visual in terms of taking account of space and mass, but visual in account of what each individual image does for you, like how it looks to you.
00:40:23.000The obvious different, especially music.
00:40:25.000But then this, like, taste that you vary yourself.
00:40:28.000Like, you ever catch yourself in some weird mix?
00:40:30.000Like, you hit iPod Shuffle or something like that, and you catch some weird mix of songs that you like, and you're like, wow, they just do not go together.
00:40:37.000Like, these two are just really weird back-to-back.
00:42:08.000That's in the mall, you know, like they make you little crepes and waffles and stuff and they put Nutella on them and a bunch of different toppings.
00:42:14.000Yeah, I would say it's probably closer to that.
00:42:47.000Dude, and you see so much crazy shit at Waffle Houses, too.
00:42:51.000I was at a Waffle House, and the service was terrible.
00:42:55.000I was in there for like an hour and a half, but goddamn, the show was amazing, because the cook and the one waitress hated each other and were fighting the entire time.
00:43:06.000And it got to the point where she runs out, she's in the parking lot crying, and he's like, giving me free food.
00:43:11.000Don't report this, and you got free food!
00:44:08.000I think he was like a retired cop or something that was just didn't, I don't know, didn't get his pension or some shit, so he's at a Waffle House.
00:44:16.000Maybe he spent his pension on the Waffle House to make it big.
00:44:28.000Like weird food places you travel in and you, for a brief period of time, enter into these people's worlds and watch them interact with each other.
00:44:58.000And this guy had a like a big piece of cardboard like four by four like four feet by four feet cardboard with photos of all these different Marines that he had propped up on like an easel board and Had all the different soldiers that had died under like Obama's watch in this one particular mission And he kept pointing out like these are these are 11 of our boys That died because of this president so-called president that we he's not my president not
00:45:28.000my president Yeah, it got to that weird shit and he was coming over to the table and talking to us while like while we're there eating I'll never forget that guy It was just so bizarre.
00:45:39.000Like, you had to go, yep, it's terrible.
00:47:47.000And then he'd come back, and he'd be totally pleasant, like, so you guys are on the da-da-da.
00:47:51.000And then he'd leave, and he'd come back again, and he'd be crazy again.
00:47:56.000Like, she held up her glass, because he's, like, refilling, and her glass is kind of far away, so she, like, you know, holds it out, and he's like, put that back on the table!
00:50:01.000It's just a scary thing, what they're doing, where they're not allowing them to use credit cards, and so they keep large chunks of cash around.
00:50:09.000I think they're trying to resolve that.
00:51:55.000They had schizophrenia exams, where they looked at all the population, and they said, you know, marijuana contributes to schizophrenia, and they were like, well, actually, no.
00:52:03.000If you look at the number, it's always 1%.
00:52:05.000And if those 1% are smoking pot or not smoking pot, it's still...
00:52:08.000The schizophrenia numbers have always been around 1%.
00:52:11.000Yeah, I mean, look, schizophrenia can be exacerbated by marijuana.
00:52:43.000This industry, this $7 billion recreational marijuana industry is employing like 100-150 people part-time and full-time that are along some rung of the ladder of like,
00:52:59.000oh, well, either they're working for the growers or they're doing the packaging or they're helping with the shipping.
00:54:17.000It's like, yeah, but what about the fact that plenty of people don't belong to be there?
00:54:20.000What about the fact that these people who run these prison industries sponsor legislation to put more people in jail in a country that already has the disproportionately highest prison population of any country on the planet while claiming to be the fucking land of the free?
00:54:34.000Yeah, we put a fuckload of people in jail.
00:56:34.000A lot of these people who are doing these crazy drugs, they're only doing it because better drugs aren't available, they can't find them, they're too expensive.
00:56:41.000Like, if you just legalize and regulate all these markets, which we know for a fact are going to exist no matter what, because people are just gonna do fucking drugs, whether it's legal or it's not legal.
00:56:52.000Do you know the only variable, the only thing that I really worry about, though, is opiates.
00:56:57.000Because I feel like if you made opiates legal, if you made them more accessible, I just know way too many people have lost their lives on them.
00:57:03.000I know way too many people that have taken them, and then they just, the whole thing got real slippery, and they just started fucking up at work, and they were on them all the time, and they got real foggy.
00:57:15.000I mean, look, we live in a country full of obese people, and, you know, I'm pretty obese, but That's terrible for your health.
00:57:22.000Probably not quite as bad as severe opiate addiction.
00:58:21.000But I don't think that it should be illegal.
00:58:24.000I just, I think that stuff, I bet in certain circumstances, under severe pain, certain opiates, especially like natural opiates, probably feel wonderful.
00:58:35.000If you have like a severe back pain, you can't rest, and you take something like that.
00:58:39.000The real problem is those fucking pills get in people's DNA, man.
00:58:44.000They get attached to you in some terrifying way.
00:58:49.000And people get into them more than almost anything I've ever seen.
00:58:54.000And they actually are, like, you know, the gateway drug thing is kind of mocked because it's attributed to weed, but those pills usually are a gateway to, you know, begin injecting.
00:59:03.000If they don't inject, I mean, they'll inject if it works just as good, and that's the only way they can get it.
00:59:08.000And that's what happened with a lot of people in Massachusetts.
00:59:12.000One of those episodes of Anthony Bourdain's show, he was out like near, I forget what area of Massachusetts, but it was all about how many people had been devastated by heroin addiction and heroin overdoses, and a lot of it came out of the OxyContin addictions.
00:59:27.000They got the pills really easily, and then when it became less, when they started clamping down the regulations and made it harder for people to get prescriptions, then people turned to heroin because they were addicted to opiates.
00:59:38.000It was just a part of who they were at that point, you And, you know, the whole country right now, I mean, like, because there's a big opiate crisis, you know, they're trying to...
00:59:48.000Doctors are not writing as many of these opiate prescriptions, and they're trying to make it harder to get, so a lot more people are turning to heroin.
01:00:05.000These same people who are already addicted to it, who are already going to seek it out, are already going to find it.
01:00:09.000First of all, there's no stigma so they can actually go seek fucking treatment for it.
01:00:15.000It's pretty difficult to admit you're a heroin addict when you're scared that you might go to fucking jail just for what you do.
01:00:22.000Well, they don't use the best stuff to get people off drugs anyway.
01:00:26.000Supposedly the most effective, and this is not from my personal experience, but the most effective drug to get people off drugs is that Ibogaine stuff.
01:00:34.000Ibogaine, which is from the iboga tree, and apparently it has a massive impact on people that are addicted to heroin and pills and alcoholics and things along those lines.
01:00:44.000Apparently that stuff just fucking knocks it right out of your system.
01:00:48.000Yeah, and like really excellent rate of people staying off of it.
01:00:54.000An excellent percentage of people stay off of it permanently, as opposed to a lot of the other methods.
01:00:59.000It's hard for people to change their ways, you know?
01:01:01.000The people get into these little patterns and they get into these habits, and if one of those habits also is physically addicting as well, like heroin is, or like pills are, it's just really hard for people to kick that shit.
01:01:49.000And then it puts a lot of stress on them to have to regulate it and me fucking bothering them, and I'll fucking deviously just, like, sneak out, go to the gas station, have, like, another pack, so I'm smoking those four, but I'm also secretly smoking, like, another four or five off somewhere else.
01:03:28.000That big fucking little stream of smoke and it curls around and gets bigger and does all those fucking little weird acrobatics and shit.
01:03:36.000But it does put you into a certain mindset if you're acknowledging that you're doing something absolutely ridiculous that's detrimental to your health.
01:06:27.000Yeah, I mean, I do have problems finding things to be passionate about or care about, but I guess in some ways I've tried to cultivate that because...
01:06:37.000You know, like George Carlin and shit.
01:06:40.000Like, I loved that idea of, yeah, I'm an observer here.
01:06:45.000Like, I'm not going to be part of this.
01:06:47.000I'm just going to look at it from the outside and be detached from it.
01:06:50.000And I've kind of tried to cultivate that in myself, but I've also noticed, like, it's kind of hard to draw upon my own passions the more I do that.
01:07:00.000So I don't know if I need to find a happier medium or what, but...
01:07:04.000So in your analysis of a subject, like when you're doing these YouTube videos, you're almost like an outsider looking in, and you feel like there's a good strategy to that, maybe?
01:07:47.000You almost have to be in a sort of anti-social place, because if you're too social with these people, you won't judge them correctly.
01:07:56.000I mean, like, look, people are very worried about, especially lately, about, like, advertising and shit influencing what people do and say.
01:08:08.000People don't really realize that it's really just as much of a danger to become beholden to the audience or to the mob and to go along with, here's what we really want to hear from you.
01:08:31.000Yeah, I mean, I'm sure you sound like you've experienced this as well.
01:08:35.000Yeah, well, look, there are a lot of people out there in this world, and if you want to get opinions from every single one of them and consider them individually without meeting any of those people, to me, that's shitty data.
01:08:51.000If I know you, I've talked to you, if you tell me something, and you're a smart guy, I'll consider.
01:08:56.000I'll be like, okay, well I know TJ, and TJ, if he's saying that, he wouldn't be saying it if he didn't believe it, so I have to think about what he's saying, and I'll have to go through my head and find out whether or not I agree with him.
01:09:05.000I'd have to, you know, objectively look at it.
01:09:07.000You could be talking to a million insane people.
01:09:10.000You really, there's no way you could individually react to each one of them.
01:09:15.000But you can get a sense of whether or not people are upset at you or not.
01:09:19.000You can get a sense of whether or not Logical people make sense like that makes sense feel like you've crossed a line look I've noticed this really weird shift in the zeitgeist In the last like year or so And it's kind of started with this whole fake news thing You know the left was saying Trump got in because of fake news and then Trump saying oh the all the attacks against me are fake news and And I've seen on YouTube,
01:09:47.000like, we used to do this kayfabe stuff on our show.
01:09:50.000Kayfabe is like wrestling talk for, like, you know, fake.
01:09:54.000The pageantry of it, like, we're just pretending drama and shit.
01:09:58.000We used to do that all the time on my show, The Drunken Peasants Podcast.
01:10:43.000Yeah, they're going to want you to form to whatever their opinion of you is, and if you deviate from that, there's going to be a certain amount of people that are going to be upset.
01:10:51.000But it's up to you to figure out like what...
01:10:54.000The worst thing, I think, for any performer or artist is to get boxed into like kind of a fake thing, like maybe a character that you do or something along those lines, and then you can't get out of it.
01:11:09.000Yeah, well, like Bobcat Goldthwait had the hardest time, because he had that, you know, that character that he would do, screaming and yelling Bobcat character.
01:11:17.000And then he wanted to just eventually be Bob Goldthwait.
01:11:20.000And people were like, no, fuck that, man.
01:11:46.000I don't believe in a lot of this stuff, but I'm really fascinated by things like Bigfoot and aliens and the Loch Ness Monster and the Flat Earth and the Hollow Earth and all this stuff.
01:11:57.000In fact, I think most of it's like totally fucking ridiculous, but I find it really fascinating.
01:12:03.000Because I kind of view it as almost like modern mythology.
01:12:07.000You know, you kind of see the genesis of how people talk, you know, people used to talk about, like, succubuses coming in in the night and, you know, stealing their essence and shit and seducing them.
01:12:19.000And you kind of see, like, the modern versions of that is like the alien that takes you up into a ship and shoves a probe up your ass or whatever.
01:13:47.000And you fucking, uh, if you have the hypnagogic hallucinations or the hypnopopic hallucinations, one is when you hallucinate as you're going into sleep, one is when you hallucinate as you're coming out.
01:13:57.000I have the one where you hallucinate as you're coming out of sleep.
01:14:00.000So, I would wake up, and, uh, probably the first time it happened, I was 11, and I saw this robed figure, like, walk across my bedroom.
01:16:09.000Consciousness and the afterlife and things of that nature.
01:16:11.000I wonder, though, like, what would cause...
01:16:16.000You to recall like an image from a really fucking cool movie like that and have it be like, what weird combinations of things would cause, you know like, something causes a hallucination to take a certain form.
01:17:44.000I was watching that movie at my uncle's house, and my mom came in the room, and she's really easily frightened and stuff, and she just thought it was hilarious.
01:17:55.000I mean, it's funny by today's standards, but if you go watch it in the context, watch horror movies that came around around the same time and before it, and it's like, okay, you can kind of see why this blew people's minds at the time.
01:18:06.000Well, when it happened, when that movie came out...
01:18:09.000There had never been anything like on that level where a little cute little girl had becomes a demon and starts ramming a cross into her pussy.
01:19:09.000They didn't, like, have much care for her well-being or anything, either.
01:19:13.000Because, like, you know that scene where she's spasming and flopping up and down, they were doing that with wires, and that fucked her back up for life.
01:20:16.000Like, you imagine, like, not only do you not get to choose whether or not you want to be famous, want to be an actor, because you're a fucking baby, you can't even talk yet, you're already on TV, but the whole show's about you, so you can't quit.
01:20:31.000Yeah, and you know, I was wondering, like, when I'm watching movies, like, you see babies, like, crying and stuff, and, you know, like, how'd they make that baby cry?
01:20:44.000Like, that's why when people, like, make fun of that American Sniper movie for using that little shitty plastic baby that was obviously fake, I'm like, whatever.
01:20:53.000It's better than fucking having some real kid and getting it to cry and stuff and whatever.
01:21:50.000A lot of people loved the movie, and to them it was really good.
01:21:53.000To me, it was so much, and this is probably my personal bias of being out here.
01:22:00.000And being in Hollywood and knowing how writers work and knowing how they structure these things and what kind of effect the studio wants to have on the audience for a big mainstream movie.
01:22:10.000You could feel the heavy hand of Hollywood all over it.
01:23:29.000It's just I think also you're dealing with the pressures of war being so alien to most people that when you and I who have not been to war sit around talking and debating about what it's like To be like the most decorated sniper ever or a guy who experiences that much action and sees that much death and to really try to Rationalize what goes in and out of their mind and like what their grasp on reality is like and then there's also the Opportunity that this guy has
01:23:59.000if you're leaving the military and writing a book Why not just make a bunch of crazy shit up and make it even better to sell more fucking books?
01:24:07.000You know, I mean It's very possible that someone would take that attitude.
01:24:12.000Like, look, I'm not going to tell you most of the truth anyway, because it's none of your business, and some of it might be classified, and some of it might be...
01:24:20.000Illegal for me to talk about, but maybe I make up a bunch of crazy shit.
01:24:25.000Now I'm in the selling me stage of my life.
01:24:28.000Yeah, you know, and look, he was probably always doing that to some extent, you know, because, you know, you don't become the top American sniper unless you already have a preconceived notion of yourself as like, I'm this badass, and I'm this great warrior, and anything you can say to add to that,
01:24:45.000Or maybe you could just be a badass sniper, right?
01:24:47.000Couldn't you just be some dude who just excels?
01:24:50.000Well, I mean, but you look at his character and the sort of stories that he's made up and shit, and it's obvious that while he did have actual skills, he was also fond of embellishing the skills he did have to make himself even more legendary.
01:25:03.000And why is the question, you know, because there are people that think that the horrors of war, like we talked about, bend the mind and bend perception and bend the way you look at reality in some people more severe ways than other people.
01:25:20.000The request or the task that we give young people where they go off to war at fucking 18 years of age, and we ship them off, get them to shoot people, and then come back and integrate.
01:25:35.000And try to be a normal part of society and then with almost no education, almost no assistance, no help, no carrying them along, no, you know...
01:25:44.000I mean, you should be looking at them and talking to them very carefully.
01:25:47.000You've asked them to do a crazy thing.
01:25:50.000You know, like, 18 is around the time when I was just willing to dump, like, pancakes on some dude's lap because he fucking, you know, said a cross thing to me.
01:26:00.000To take people at that age and mindset who haven't even really...
01:26:04.000I mean, I guess they've kind of reached the age of reason and stuff in the eyes of society, but, you know, they're not like fully formed adult minds yet.
01:26:13.000It's like, hey, you're pretty much still a kid in a lot of ways.
01:26:17.000Go overseas and kill some other people's fucking kids.
01:26:35.000You know, when you're asking someone to do something before they're a certain age, like, you have a certain amount of authority over a 17-year-old or an 18-year-old when you give them a gun and tell them that they're supposed to do it.
01:26:47.000They believe they're supposed to do it because you're older and you tell them that they're supposed to do it.
01:26:50.000It's the reason why 40-year-old guys don't sign up for the Army.
01:26:55.000Because when a guy's 40, might have a family of his own, might have a life of his own, he's like, wait, wait, wait, why the fuck are we going over there?
01:27:56.000But I heard that a lot of times they sucker you in with that, like, you're going to be military intelligence, but then if you don't cut it, they're like, well, you didn't cut it.
01:28:04.000I've heard that recruiters will bullshit you and, you know, tell you they're gonna get you some cool job inside the military, and then once you get in there, they give you a door to fuck the job they were thinking about giving you in the first place.
01:29:04.000So that's probably why they use 18-year-olds to begin with, but...
01:29:07.000The problem is, you know, even if we're going to accept the reality that that's how it has to be, there has to be more oversight about where are we going to send these people, what reasons have to be in place for us to send these people.
01:29:19.000And, you know, we're still in Iraq, we're still in Afghanistan.
01:29:23.000Obama, during his presidency, bombed seven countries with drone strikes.
01:29:28.000By the way, I don't know if you've ever seen the report that like 90% of drone strikes didn't kill their intended targets.
01:30:20.000It's just, but we're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, but listen, this way we don't have to send soldiers, and we just fly it in, and we just shoot the missiles, and we get the fuck out of there.
01:30:28.000Like, that's really what they're saying.
01:30:30.000I can see the appeal of that, but make sure the technology is there.
01:30:34.000In a way, it might be, like, the most racist way to kill people.
01:32:21.000They put that video out and you get to see, like, how they're reacting to gunning these people down the street and they find out it's the wrong people.
01:33:21.000If they were on the ground, they wouldn't treat it that way.
01:33:24.000If they were on the ground and we saw people on the ground, they were walking down the street and they saw the photographer with the camera, they probably wouldn't treat it.
01:33:32.000There's no way they would just open fire and gun everybody down as soon as they saw the people.
01:33:35.000So you just gun everybody down that you run into on your way to the bad guys?
01:33:47.000Okay, we'll deduct some points from the scoreboard.
01:33:50.000Yeah, because if you were on the ground, and the same thing happened, wouldn't you be judged differently?
01:33:54.000Like, if you were on the ground, and you were moving down the street, and you saw a bunch of people in front of you, and one guy had a camera, and you just gunned them all down.
01:34:02.000The women, the kids, everybody in front of them.
01:34:04.000And you're like, well, you know, hey, they shouldn't have been out here with their kids, and I didn't think that was a camera.
01:34:09.000Well, that's essentially exactly what the guy said from the helicopter, right?
01:36:21.000And you know, the crazy thing is that not only is it there for those agencies, but it's there for anyone who can hack into those agencies to get...
01:36:31.000And you know, if the CIA, the NSA developed it, the CIA, we now know, has its own version of it.
01:36:38.000I wonder how many private companies have their own version of this fucking server.
01:36:42.000Yeah, when we found out that the CIA has their own version of it, everybody was like, what?
01:36:48.000Well, they're even worse than the NSA. How do you know?
01:36:52.000Well, I guess I can't say with certainty they're worse, but the NSA's never been involved, as far as I know, in toppling the democratically elected leaders of other countries and installing puppets that are good for American business interests.
01:37:13.000Yeah, the idea of them all being able to listen to anybody's telephone calls, regardless of whether or not you're a terrorist, regardless of whether or not you're a felon, regardless of whether or not you're the nicest person of all time.
01:39:06.000Yeah, and it's gonna grow the more things are people are like, I can't believe Rogan really believes a hundred million people's product buy.
01:39:45.000If you looked at the actual effects it has on you, like we were talking about schizophrenics and blaming marijuana on schizophrenia, but it still seems across the board to be 1%.
01:39:53.000It's the same thing with dummies and lazy people.
01:39:56.000When dummies and lazy people find out about pot, it ruins the idea of it for other people.
01:40:01.000They go, oh, well, look, it's associated with this loudmouth dummy.
01:40:04.000This loudmouth fucking lazy person never gets anything done.
01:40:39.000Canada's justice system is crumbling as cannabis raids continue.
01:40:43.000So, they've been busting all these fucking pot places.
01:40:48.000I thought you guys had your social justice warrior president and everybody was going to get to pick their own gender pronouns and now you're raiding pot places.
01:40:59.0006,500 cases in provincial court could be soon dropped due to delays, including 38 for homicide or attempted murder.
01:41:06.000One terrible case last year, a man named Kenneth Williamson was convicted of raping a minor over 100 times, but because of lengthy delays in taking his case to trial, his conviction was overturned.
01:41:18.000Wait, is that so they could prosecute more marijuana?
01:41:21.000No, this is just saying that their system is in such crisis, and this marijuana case where they're arresting all these people for marijuana, it's insane because their justice system is already in the crisis.
01:41:36.000So it says considering the justice system crisis, cannabis should obviously be the lowest priority for police and the courts, but it's not.
01:41:43.000Not only are police launching more raids against dispensaries than ever before, but ridiculous charges for small-scale cannabis crimes are continuing from coast to coast.
01:41:53.000So they have a justice system that's so broken that they can't even convict...
01:41:59.000People who raped minors a hundred times.
01:42:15.000If I had a guess, I would say it's some sort of compartmentalism, in that the drug people, they don't go after the other crimes, and then there's a legal system that's backed up.
01:42:25.000But to put more people into the legal system, just because you have to somehow or another Justify the position that you're in.
01:42:33.000A cop, a DEA cop, whatever they're called up there.
01:42:52.000And by the way, what you're doing right now seems like a crime.
01:42:54.000You're locking people up in a cage for a plant that everybody on the planet knows is not bad for you.
01:43:00.000So if you just decide that because of some fucking bullshit thing that's written on paper, that you should be able to go against all the science that's available today, all the common sense and the will of the people, and you should be able to go into people's houses, go into people's businesses, arrest them, take all their money,
01:44:09.000Canadians are complaining about it like crazy, and I've had Jordan Peterson on the podcast, and he hates what's going on now with this push towards being as open-minded as possible, with all these accepting of the gender pronouns, and that you're going to have to start putting people...
01:44:24.000You're going to have to start processing cases through the Human Rights Council, because if you don't use a person's proper gender pronoun, it could literally be considered a crime.
01:44:34.000I think all that stuff on the left, when it goes way far...
01:44:53.000If he's only going to be progressive towards transgender pronouns and whatever other ridiculous laws that they're swamped with, This is just a terrible precedent to set.
01:45:04.000Allowing them to lock people up for pot in 2017 is a fucking criminal waste of resources.
01:45:11.000A criminal waste of manpower, a criminal intrusion on the freedom of those people that you're locking up.
01:45:21.000Criminal on the disruption that you're putting into their lives and the money that you're taking away from them for trading in something.
01:45:29.000And these people are trading in something that is very valuable to the community and to the human beings that consume it.
01:45:35.000Yeah, you know, I consider myself probably more liberal than I am conservative, but when I see the priorities of liberals being identity politics shit, gender pronouns and stuff, and then so much of the real issues just get ignored like this,
01:45:54.000that makes me hesitant to even say, like, I'm a liberal or I'm more left-wing than right-wing or whatever, because I'm just like, your priorities are totally fucked.
01:46:06.000You know, apparently in Canada, they're fighting all these fucking politically correct identity politics battles, but they can't deal with the pot issue.
01:46:17.000Police raids against pot dispensaries are actually up, and they're trying to charge people with petty fucking weed-smoking crimes.
01:46:25.000And this is a thing that people always go on about.
01:46:27.000Like, it's because it's pot, it seems like it's not a big issue.
01:46:31.000It's like, it's not, we got bigger fish to fry.
01:47:11.000People that don't engage in it that don't understand it and that feel like they have the right to go and lock people up for it You know when the Trump administration started signaling that they were gonna Take on weed or that they were thinking about it at least that it was on the table So stupid.
01:47:27.000At that point, I made a video where I was basically making all the cases why this is terrible.
01:47:58.000That's the only thing that got him to care.
01:48:00.000It's like, what are you talking about?
01:48:01.000I made fucking so many cogent arguments that hold water about the economic and personal liberty ramifications of something like this, and all you want to focus on is my personal usage of this fucking substance.
01:48:39.000It's a very, very foolish thing to try to step in in 2017 with all the science and all the information and the public opinion and to say that marijuana is something that can get you locked up.
01:49:14.000Your hair's white, your posture's bad, and you're standing there lying.
01:49:18.000You're lying on television about heroin and pot being, like, really close.
01:49:21.000That's a crazy person who doesn't know what pot does.
01:49:24.000You're talking about pot, you obviously have no idea what it's like.
01:49:27.000It's like a person who's colorblind, describing some sort of a kaleidoscope.
01:49:31.000You don't know what you're even talking about.
01:49:34.000For a guy like him, if you want to have a person who's talking about individual experiences, they should have had, like if you're talking about someone who's talking about the effects of a chemical and whether or not it should be legal, they should have had some sort of experience with that chemical.
01:50:00.000You can't invest one evening in a safe environment.
01:50:03.000They'll do it in a laboratory or a hospital somewhere, pad up the rooms, and give you a pot cookie.
01:50:08.000And then put Pink Floyd's The Wall on.
01:50:13.000Someone, tell this fucking guy what it really is.
01:50:16.000Because he's just talking out of his ass.
01:50:18.000I don't know if this is just apocryphal or if this is an actual story, but I remember there being something about him saying that he thought the KKK were good guys until he found out they smoked weed.
01:50:39.000But I think that's, it just might be the case of people being overzealous and trying to paint, I mean, you could find things, I'm sure that you've said or that I've said, if you take them completely out of context, you could paint a very different opinion.
01:50:51.000It's fucking very hard to form an opinion of someone, like a legitimate opinion of someone without actually knowing them.
01:50:57.000But you can have an opinion of their policy.
01:51:00.000It's not that hard when they go out and say that pot is nearly as dangerous as heroin, because at that point you're just like, this person is either delusional or is willfully deceptive.
01:51:28.000I really do think it's probably one of the best elements in terms of a happy, healthy society, staying grounded and being a little more kind.
01:51:40.000I think it gives you a certain percentage more of kindness.
01:51:44.000Yeah, I mean, I've definitely seen it make people more empathetic, more tolerant towards one another.
01:51:50.000I've seen people who have anxiety that it helps.
01:51:54.000I've seen people who have anxiety that it exacerbates their anxiety too.
01:51:58.000Like the story I told about my brother at the beginning of the show.
01:52:01.000But by and large, I know a lot of people with bad anxiety who smoke weed and it makes them feel better, it makes them feel more comfortable in social situations, stuff like that.
01:54:07.000Especially physiologically, you can function.
01:54:09.000If you do something you already know how to do and you're high on pot, especially pot edibles, it doesn't have any performance decreasing elements to it.
01:54:22.000In fact, a lot of people do it right before they do jujitsu because they think it increases their performance.
01:54:27.000I've known people who get high before they go work out, because they're like, yeah, you know, it's gonna keep me more focused and, you know, especially if you're smoking like a strong sativa strain, it might give them a little energy burst.
01:54:43.000Yeah, I mean, I don't really do a lot of like physical activities that much, but like if I'm gonna do like stretching or something, it's nice to be high and just like, you know.
01:55:08.000Like you just have a better accounting of what the signals your body sending you because I think when you're when you're sober You know you can try to think about all your different areas and tune into the body and all the the various points of contact where the Elbows meet the forearm and think about all the muscle tissue,
01:55:27.000but you have to like really Go through it Like, step by step and be really conscious of what you're doing.
01:55:34.000When you smoke pot, it's just there for you.
01:55:35.000I really enjoyed watching you fight with Steven Crowder about this, by the way.
01:55:39.000Oh, he's a silly boy when it comes to pot.
01:55:49.000Like when we were pulling up the information, he thought I was being a bully because we were pulling up things that showed contrary to what he was saying about car accidents.
01:55:56.000I've since looked into it and the American Automobile Association has some statistics where they think that it's increasing.
01:56:05.000There's an increased number of people that have marijuana in their system when they have the car accidents.
01:56:10.000But the real problem with that is there might be just as much of an increase in those people smoking marijuana in that area.
01:56:16.000It might not be related to the accident.
01:56:18.000Just because it's connected to the accident doesn't mean it caused the accident.
01:56:22.000If you're going to make the car accident argument, too, you've got to realize alcohol is causing way more traffic accidents than weed is.
01:56:29.000Well, that was what they were talking about.
01:56:31.000In these places, there's a lot of the places where people are smoking pot.
01:56:33.000There's a decrease, a decrease in DUI fatalities.
01:56:39.000There's quite a few different statistics to look at, but Colorado seems to be saying there's a decrease in these car accidents and in DUI-related incidents.
01:56:49.000You know, Stephen Crowder wanted to sue me, too.
01:58:41.000And so what I was thinking is, did Steven Crowder push this guy?
01:58:44.000I don't know, because there's no footage on there.
01:58:47.000But I surmised, based on what I looked at in the footage, that this guy was maybe pushed and then got up and then started wailing on Crowder.
01:58:55.000And I put that out there, and here's the interesting thing.
01:58:57.000He said he was going to sue me for what I said about it.
01:59:01.000He then later went to court and a judge looked at the footage and kind of came to the same conclusion I did and said, I don't think that this went down the way you're saying based on the footage I see.
01:59:12.000He lost that court case and then he had to drop any sort of idea of a lawsuit against me because a judge had already ruled that the tape was bullshit, didn't really show what he thought it should.
01:59:22.000There's also instances where I challenged him to debates back in the day, not recently.
02:01:26.000We went and watched a bunch of Young Turks videos so we could put out this special Drunken Peasants vs.
02:01:32.000the Young Turks We shot about five hours of us watching Young Turks videos and just tearing them apart.
02:01:39.000And one of the things I noticed is what Cenk will do, and watch for this if you're ever watching his shit, he'll have his panel say something that's like super crazy left-wing.
02:01:51.000Like someone will say it, like Anna will say it, or one of the Stephen O, or whatever, whoever he's got on.
02:02:14.000What you're saying is way more sensible than what I said a second ago.
02:02:17.000And I just saw that pattern recurring over and over and over again.
02:02:20.000So I don't know if that's like by design or if they're just they feel like the need to capitulate to him because they're maybe scared of him or something.
02:02:29.000There's definitely a lot of emotions going on there, too.
02:02:32.000There's a lot of emotion in the way they describe things.
02:02:35.000And some people, I think, at least initially connected to that.
02:02:38.000But then they see where it gets problematic if you're dealing with any really serious issue and you want to debate just the facts and have your ducks in a row.
02:02:47.000The wool over my eyes was the Harris debate, of course.
02:03:09.000I just think people handle certain types of confrontation and disagreements.
02:03:14.000And they don't handle them the best way they could and then those things escalate and they compound and then it becomes who you are and then you're defending who you are and Then you're always trying to argue with people about who you are and what you've done and like that's when you're gone Yeah, that's when you're over the top.
02:03:29.000It's like we've done that we've done that and we've done this we've done that like Hey, you're talking about shit.
02:03:36.000That's all you're doing That's all any of us are doing.
02:03:38.000That's all anybody's doing Unless you're out there digging wells in the Congo with Justin Wren, what you're doing is you're talking about shit.
02:03:46.000So if you've got a bunch of people listening to you talk about shit, it's just talking about shit.
02:03:51.000At the end of the day, you don't get any extra points because more people are listening or more people are watching.
02:03:59.000Your point still has to stand up in the marketplace of ideas.
02:04:02.000And yours is just as valid as his, is just as valid as mine.
02:04:06.000If the delivery system is a bigger delivery system, it doesn't mean that everybody has to stop and take you into account because you've had more success in this market.
02:04:16.000That's a crazy way of looking at shit.
02:04:19.000And when him and Alex Jones battle back and forth between who gets the most viewers and who has the most viewers, I'm like, holy shit, this is ridiculous.
02:04:28.000Did you see when Alex went onto the stage at South by Southwest?
02:04:32.000Is that what it was, South by Southwest?
02:05:15.000You know, when he was covering the whole Milo thing, he played a very deceptive version of the Milo clip, and he credited us basically as a podcast, and talked about us as like, we're doing this podcast from a basement somewhere or something.
02:05:31.000Meanwhile, isn't it funny that a podcast like yours, which gets hundreds of thousands of downloads, I'm sure, right?
02:05:37.000Like, if it was more than that, he would have to say the name of the podcast, right?
02:05:41.000Like, if he was on the Adam Carolla Show, he would say, the Adam Carolla Show.
02:07:52.000And, like, that moral indignation that she has over everything, like, everything is always like, YOU- OH MY GOD! I CANNOT BELIEVE! You know?
02:08:00.000I hate that- I hope that constant, I'm indignant about everything in the world, and I'm this great moral judge here to fucking tell people what's really what.
02:08:08.000ANOTHER DEAD BABY IN FLORIDA! Oh, she's a monster.
02:08:15.000Remember when she went after those Duke Lacrosse kids?
02:08:41.000She's made her entire career off of exploiting the worst human beings in their worst case scenarios and then putting it on TV and getting everybody outraged.
02:13:28.000He's like a boundless source of entertainment.
02:13:31.000And if you knew him, man, like if you, me, and him went out, we went to a bar, we had a couple of drinks, we would have a great fucking time.
02:13:59.000Interdimensional child molesters are coming in through the cigarette smoke.
02:14:03.000Cigarettes with the 599 chemicals are designed to let the gates of hell come loose.
02:14:09.000Interdimensional child molesters come in.
02:14:11.000He just will go on and on and on and on.
02:14:14.000I love the interdimensional child molester thing, because it's like, they have interdimensional travel capabilities, and they're like, immediate thing, like, what do we use this for?
02:14:29.000Is that really the best application of that fucking technology?
02:14:33.000They're always, like, the archetypes of, like, when you get into the really hardcore conspiracy theorists, the archetypes are always, like, very satanic.
02:14:40.000The archetypes are always, like, eugenics.
02:14:43.000Like, they want to kill off a massive amount of the population.
02:16:43.000Like, you said, we're going to go to see the Sherman today and take the bus into the town to go and sit in the audience and listen to Pastor Jim.
02:20:34.000Yeah, yeah, I could just be like, I had my heart attack, and I could even fucking, maybe I could spin some kind of like near-death yarn or some shit.
02:20:42.000Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like you blacked out, like something happened, you had like a little minor heart attack, and your leg stopped working, you blacked out.
02:20:48.000And I was in a tunnel, and I saw the lights, and I felt like a presence, an energy, a love that I'd never experienced before.
02:20:56.000What was your initial reaction to this love and this experience?
02:21:14.000I believe you're allowed to talk about God all day long, but as soon as you talk about the devil, only a select group of people are going to hear you.
02:21:38.000I'm non-denominational, but I'm spiritual and Ultimately, I believe in a higher power.
02:21:44.000I just think it's very possible that something I I leave the option like the seven planets fucking thing like what's that they say?
02:21:53.000It's like a it's like a reincarnation trope where you're like you go through like seven stages of life Where like the first year I think humans are like second or third on the list But eventually like in your seventh life You become, like, a being of a...
02:22:09.000Well, I mean, it's not necessarily your seventh, because you're, like, repeatedly attempting...
02:22:13.000So you become, like, an enlightened being.
02:22:15.000Yeah, like, if you're a shitty human being, you might get sent back, or you might just be a human being again, but eventually, you get reincarnated as, like, an immortal being of pure enlightenment, and just one with the cosmos and all that shit.
02:23:04.000You ascend to enlightenment, to the seventh planet where you live out the rest of your existence in pure love and joy.
02:23:11.000If we just had you talking on CNN again, and they would go, well, what inspired you to make this decision after all your years of atheism YouTube videos to become a Christian?
02:23:24.000And now that you are a Christian, are you going to take those videos down?
02:23:29.000No, I'm going to leave them up so people can see that I really was this atheist.
02:23:34.000I really did give credence to these atheist beliefs.
02:23:52.000And you can also say, you know what's really ironic, is I did Joe Rogan's podcast and we joked around about this happening and then it did happen.
02:24:02.000No, you just fucked this whole plan because it's all public.
02:24:04.000No, no, no, it's not because your belief in the Lord is so powerful that despite the fact you talked about faking it, you're going to talk about it in the exact same way because it actually did happen.
02:24:14.000It's almost like God was like, oh, you think you're so smart, TJ? Well, I'll show you.
02:24:19.000I'll show you and I'll have the exact same scenario play itself out and I will show myself to you and I will touch your heart.
02:26:45.000You think of Denzel Washington from like...
02:26:48.000Training day, like the kind of fucking power that guy can deliver, if he could deliver a sermon like that, Joel Osteen would just jump off a building.
02:26:56.000He would watch that and go, what the fuck business am I in now?
02:26:59.000Joel Osteen would be like his opening act, if anything, you know?
02:27:02.000Like the shitty opening band that no one cares about.
02:27:05.000Yeah, if you got like a real actor, like a real powerful actor to go up there and do it in a real...
02:27:11.000I mean, there's like a guy like Leonardo DiCaprio.
02:27:15.000Like Leonardo DiCaprio, the problem with Leo is he's too handsome and he gets too much pussy.
02:27:20.000You're not going to take him seriously.
02:27:29.000But if we could get past that, if somehow or another we could get past that, like if that guy settled down, he had a wife, and he had a kid, and then he had some religious epiphany, and then he really got close to the Lord, and he was really gathering up the scripture, and then he started fucking preaching.
02:27:46.000I can sense it in you like, oh yeah, yeah, soon.
02:27:50.000You know the expression, politics is for people that suck at showbiz.
02:27:53.000It's for ugly people that suck at showbiz.
02:27:57.000And that's essentially what religion is.
02:28:00.000I mean, it's another form of showbiz-ness.
02:28:03.000What you're doing is, by doing it that way, the only way you do it that way is you have to put on a performance.
02:28:09.000If you're going to stand in front of all those people and talk about what the Lord does to me, whether you have passion for it or not, that is an orchestrated performance.
02:28:30.000You pay a bunch of money to get in an arena, and some con man screams and yells about the Lord and pretends that he can read people's minds and heal the sick.
02:28:38.000Those motherfuckers that touch people.
02:29:00.000They exposed him on one of those shows?
02:29:02.000Yeah, yeah, it was James Randi that fucking set up that operation where you could hear his wife talking to him and telling him about people and...
02:29:12.000All these healer guys, those Benny Hinn type dudes.
02:29:15.000And that didn't destroy his career either.
02:31:06.000Like, we were talking about this the other day about wild pigs.
02:31:09.000That when wild pigs get loose, like you take a domestic pig and when they get loose, their body morphs, their snout grows, their hair gets thicker, their tusks grow longer.
02:31:18.000Imagine if like when a woman really believed in Jesus, if she really believed in God, her pussy would just tighten down like a fist and you would realize it when you were fucking her.
02:31:43.000I've never been with a girl who believed in the Lord.
02:31:46.000Every girl I believed believed in the Lord, I was having sex with her, I was like sticking my dick in a bucket of Jell-O. There was nothing.
02:32:55.000I don't know how true statistically it is, but they say that the rape is a big problem when they go to these western countries, these refugees and shit.
02:33:05.000Oh, they're probably not used to seeing all these short shorts.
02:33:07.000Oh my god, it's like a fucking buffet of pussy around here.
02:33:11.000Don't you think that any country that has been around for as long, like any part of the world, really, where civilization has existed for a long, long, long time, it's very difficult to get those people off their old ways.
02:33:24.000And when you're dealing with a place like the Middle East, like...
02:33:29.000They think that, like, Sumer, which is where Iraq is, as far as we know, that's the oldest civilization we're currently totally aware of, right?
02:33:38.0006,000 years ago, there was people living in there, and they had mathematics, they had It was a really advanced civilization for the time.
02:33:45.000And the people that are there today, in a lot of ways, I mean, these people have come in and people have left, but a lot of the fucking energy and the ideas of that culture are still in some way connected to this 6,000 year old culture.
02:34:00.000We're still kind of fucked in this country because we're connected to the Puritans.
02:34:03.000We're connected to the pilgrims that landed.
02:34:05.000I mean, all these people that came over here seeking religious freedom and they were super religious and super puritanical in their beliefs.
02:34:12.000Well, remember, it wasn't just the Puritans that were sent here.
02:34:14.000It was kind of like the Puritans were sent.
02:34:17.000Well, the Puritans came here to escape religious persecution, and then a lot of the dregs of their society were sent here like, get the fuck out of here.
02:34:29.000Well, you know, that's what I'm saying.
02:34:30.000But if you really look at it, that's like the flip side.
02:34:32.000You can kind of even look at America today and still see, like, oh, here's where the Puritan element comes in, and here's where the degenerate scumfuck element comes in, and then you've got America.
02:36:35.000I mean, I just got out of the way at that point.
02:36:36.000But, you know, it's like people around here, they almost try to, like, put a sorry over things to defuse any possible, like, well, if I say sorry, then people won't be as pissed.
02:37:07.000Or, like, there's tensions between these different groups of people.
02:37:10.000Because the attitude that they have, like, in the Northwest, at least the parts of it I live in, are just kind of like...
02:37:16.000People just kind of really don't give a shit about each other.
02:37:18.000And there's sort of like an air of like, detached, like, yeah, you know, I'll be somewhat friendly and shit, but we're not all gonna fucking, we're not gonna exchange all these niceties and shit.
02:37:28.000And it's a very, like, brusque attitude, and people are sort of detached.
02:38:21.000And it was a rare day where it was super sunny and warm, and I was like, okay, if this was like this all the time, do you know this place would be so fucking crowded?
02:38:31.000Your relationship that you have with nature is what keeps people away, but it also enhances, in my opinion, the way the people that live there look at things.
02:38:42.000I'm not really one who focuses a lot on the physical beauty of an area, but I love just driving through, like over a bridge or something, in the Seattle area and just...
02:38:57.000Seeing all the fucking hills and all the trees and all the water and everything just looks really, like, serene and picturesque and beautiful, even though, you know, there's a shit ton of people there.
02:39:43.000I think it might be a little longer, but it's not very long.
02:39:45.000Maybe an hour and a half, two hours at the most.
02:39:46.000Because we were up there Bigfoot squatching.
02:39:49.000We were squatching, me and Duncan Trussell.
02:39:50.000And we drove down from there, from Mount Rainier, to a hotel in the mainland, in the regular area.
02:39:57.000So it was close enough that within two hours or whatever it was, we could be in the middle of this incredible rainforest and then go right back down.
02:40:04.000And then you're looking at the ocean right there, too.
02:40:59.000Yeah, you know, but like, even when I moved there, like, people are already kind of like, I could sense, like, people being like, eh, more people?
02:42:41.000Giant mountains of fucking snow just piling on us, I mean...
02:42:45.000I mean, Duncan Trussell, I'm texting him every day, fuck New York City, because another blizzard just hit, you know, and I'm like, fuck you, and fuck New York, because Duncan just moved there.
02:44:38.000And they just have to commute every day for an hour.
02:44:41.000Which, if you see it in the morning...
02:44:42.000I drove up there once real early in the morning...
02:44:45.000I was driving up towards Bakersfield and it was like boy I want to say like before dawn so it was about 530 in the morning and the amount of people coming towards LA from way past Bakersfield was fucking stunning like stunning like I really had no idea and it's people that can't afford housing in LA and so they commute and they commute And they have to get up really early in the morning to do it.
02:45:09.000Because at 5.30 in the fucking morning, it's bumper to bumper traffic on the 5. It's nuts, man.
02:45:16.000Like, you ain't never seen anything like it.
02:45:18.000You just go, oh my god, this is something that I didn't even realize was an issue.
02:45:22.000All those people that can't afford to live in LA and they drive down.
02:45:25.000And it's a lot of fucking people that live out there and drive down here for work.
02:45:31.000They should put in some high-speed rail and just fucking...
02:45:34.000Well, they're talking about doing more affordable housing along the way for people to just establish these artificial communities, but there's a lot of resistance to that.
02:45:42.000People that live in that area don't want those areas developed.
02:46:03.000I don't feel like there's anything that was said that needs to be like, oh, we better revoke that before people take it the wrong way or some shit.
