This week, the boys talk about all the cool stuff you can find at the Jersey Shore with a metal detector and flip flops. They also talk about some of the craziest things they ve ever found in their lives, including a Viking treasure hoard worth millions of dollars worth of gold and other cool stuff they ve never even heard of before. Also, the guys talk about what they would do if they found a fossil or ancient artefact they were lucky enough to have stumbled across in their childhood. And, of course, they talk about the fact that they have no idea what they re going to do with the fossil they ve found, and that they ll probably lose it in the next storm.

00:02:24.000My dad lives in Florida on the Treasure Coast, they call it, which is like the Atlantic, mid-Atlantic, or halfway up and down Florida.
00:02:30.000So like every time there's hurricanes, the people are always out on the beach looking for stuff because shit gets washed up off the bottom.
00:02:36.000A bunch of treasure chests or wrecks like in the Bermuda Triangle.
00:02:39.000So like the pirate treasure gets wiped up onto the beach.
00:02:43.000There's something about finding that, though.
00:02:44.000Like if you went to a museum and you saw a ring from the 9th century, Or the 10th century, whatever it is.
00:02:50.000You'd probably be like, wow, that's incredible.
00:02:53.000But if you fucking found it in the dirt and you picked it up, and it's maybe likely, I mean, there's at least a possibility the last person that touched it was the person that died there.
00:04:01.000He was going out there like a month from then and he went out and he took his metal detector and he hiked along the same trail and he comes back to New Jersey and his buddies in the bar and he just sits down next to him at the bar and tosses the ring on the bar.
00:06:57.000See, I guarantee you this is one of those things that there's a fucking rabbit hole, and you start with this, and next thing you know, you're getting Miner Magazine in the mail.
00:08:08.000But it's also, the ocean is fucking huge.
00:08:11.000So if you find something, the odds of somebody else finding it, without you telling them about it, without somebody leaking some information, so it's really touch and go.
00:08:18.000And these guys invest a shitload of money.
00:08:21.000So they have the divers, who are these people that are usually the people that are knowledgeable, but they don't really have the funds, and then they meet somebody, and that guy funds it.
00:09:40.000The discovery of the San Jose shipwreck has all the elements of a great drama, international political intrigue, a treasure of gold and emeralds worth up to $17 billion, and now accusations of lies and treachery.
00:09:52.000Everyone always forgets about emeralds.
00:11:48.000I remember there was a movie, there was this great wrestling movie called Vision Quest with Matthew Modine.
00:11:54.000And his friend on the show was this Native American kid who turned out to not really be Native American.
00:12:00.000Turned out that that was like his big hustle in the movie was that he was telling everybody he was Native American, talking about you going on a Vision Quest and your spirit journey and all this stuff.
00:13:02.000Yeah, I've recommended Altered States to people, and then I went back and watched it myself, and I had to come back on the air and go, okay, stop.
00:14:22.000Yeah, that's actually how I found out about this movie.
00:14:25.000And in the movie, he actually goes through several generations of Lily's isolation tanks in sort of an homage.
00:14:32.000Like he starts out floating with the head gear on, where it's like a scuba tank helmet on.
00:14:39.000That's the beginning of the movie and in the end of the movie, he's lying down.
00:14:42.000See, that's how Lily did it in the beginning.
00:14:44.000In the beginning, Lily had it set up where there was literally like a tube connected to his asshole so he could shit and piss into the water and it would be filtered out so he never had to leave the water.
00:15:12.000The one I've done is later in the movie, as his character evolves and as the plot evolves, later in the movie he has a more modern version of the isolation tank where he's laying flat.
00:15:24.000And they don't ever mention that he figured out a better version or anything like that.
00:16:09.000I don't know if you ever heard this story, but the woman who was doing the research, she was living with a young male dolphin, and she lived in this place that was like waist high in water.
00:16:19.000So she would walk through the water to get to her furniture, to get to where she would cook, and the dolphin lived with her and swam around with her.
00:16:26.000Wait, wait, so she'd be up to her waist in the hallways and then she'd come up to a platform to cook or something?
00:16:32.000She had some setup where she lived with this dolphin.
00:16:39.000And when she did it, they were working on these ideas that they had.
00:16:44.000To try to get dolphins to recreate human words.
00:16:48.000But the dolphins, even if they're as intelligent as we are, which they might be, who knows, they don't have the ability to make the sounds that we make, because they don't have lips.
00:17:23.000It says a woman in a waterproof house.
00:17:26.000In 1964, a woman lived in a waterproof house with a dolphin called Peter, tried to teach him English and had a sexual relationship with him.
00:17:34.000She would jerk him off because he would get super horny and that's all he would want to do is fuck and he was confusing and it was interfering with the research.
00:20:22.000And she's like, I think she's having a reaction.
00:20:24.000So we brought her into the vet on my way here and they rushed her right in and they're like, good thing you got here early and they're going to work on her.
00:31:33.000They would give you a clay pipe and they have pipes that from everyone that smoked them there, Einstein, Patton, Roosevelt, all of these people, and the place is covered with it.
00:31:45.000And then I roll in there for the first time in 2001, when the smoking ban has gone into effect, and you're not allowed to smoke a pipe in this legendary place!
00:36:27.000Yeah, like when I come out of the shower, I've got to walk down this little hallway and that door is sometimes open and it's towards my daughter's rooms.
00:37:18.000It's just really interesting to see kids grow up without the same kind of financial pressure that I grew up with, or that probably you grew up with too, or not the same kind of weirdness in the house.
00:38:27.000I think 28 today is way more knowledgeable.
00:38:31.000I mean, there's pockets of flat earthers and shit out there that ruin that curve, but other than that, 28 today is way more knowledgeable, I think, than 28 of 20 years ago.
00:38:45.000Maybe in some ways, but I think that's generalizing.
00:38:49.000I mean, I think it's really hard to say people today, because you're talking about so many people.
00:38:53.000You're talking about 350 million people.
00:38:56.000Yeah, but, you know, the idea that people were, like, men and women were raising families, doing all their hard work, doing all that, like, very adult stuff.
00:39:13.000They may not be as intelligent because they didn't have as much knowledge and stuff, but they were grown-ups.
00:39:19.000There was a distinction, like, I'm doing grown-up shit now.
00:39:22.000Do you think that's almost like an evolutionary course?
00:39:25.000Like, life gets easier, and then people learn more about stuff, but they don't have the same sort of physical resolve that people did back in the old days where they had to work harder?
00:41:32.000This is March of 2016. It said for the first time in human history, I guess, people who are 65 and older will surpass those under 5. So there'll be more people that are older than there are that are younger.
00:41:45.000So people are staying alive, but are they living longer?
00:41:52.000No, they're not living longer to like 100 years old, but there's more people that are alive that are 65. So it's like people are staying alive, but are they living longer?
00:42:02.000Like what is the long age that people live?
00:42:04.000Like if you don't die of something, if you just die of old age, what is that number?
00:43:47.000There's something that was just revealed that's really interesting that James Comey has said that he ended the Hillary Clinton investigation early because there was some evidence that was introduced against her that was clearly counterfeit and from Russia.
00:44:21.000The information from, the emails from people, say like, you know, the emails from the DNC or whatever, and they're leaving 99% of it perfect, and they put just one little line in that says something that's heinous or says something about somebody doing something torrid or something,
00:50:38.000Just looking for shiny rocks and metal and shit.
00:50:41.000Joe, I am telling you, this bread obsession of mine is...
00:50:45.000If things are going well, I'm probably not making as much bread.
00:50:50.000But to just go in simply and just be making bread with the news off and just put on some Bob Marley and just go and make bread and give it to my friends and family, it's a calming thing in these chaotic times.
00:51:18.000You know, you've got your ingredients, you know what to do, and if you do all the things that you're supposed to do, it'll come out this delicious, amazing food that you can eat.
00:51:31.000So this task, it becomes this thing that your mind is fixated on, and you can fill your consciousness with the nuances of this task and not think about all the bullshit, like these fucking weirdos grabbing globes.
00:52:57.000Imagine Jerry Seinfeld and all of a sudden Seinfeld gets invited to this League of Nations thing that looks like a superhero comic book scene in one of those movies.
00:53:09.000I mean there's a goddamn picture of the earth that's a light that's on the wall.
00:53:48.000In most of these, like, Middle Eastern countries and most of these, I mean, they don't really have to fucking tell people what they're doing.
00:54:44.000That's one of the reasons why we've almost allowed them a certain amount of leeway when it comes to insincerity and getting caught in corruption and lies.
00:54:54.000There's a certain amount, like, she's a politician.
00:55:46.000But I think you can be good while still making some, you know, if you set that parameter, that bar, you're never going to have people that are good enough.
00:55:58.000Yeah, and you're going to have these weirdos that have insane egos, because those are the only ones that are willing to take the punishment of being criticized the way Trump's taking it right now.
00:56:08.000He's taking it in a way that no one's ever taken it before.
00:56:34.000You know, you could say, I was having a discussion with my teenage daughter about navigating online stuff and seeing what people are doing, and it's almost like the president is going through the same thing that you're going through as a comedian that teenage girls are going through.
00:56:49.000This is a flood of information and access and attacks and praise and everything from everybody all the time, 24 hours a day.
00:56:57.000So the same way we have to navigate with haters and all that kind of stuff, the same way kids do, the president has to deal with a flood that's never been This raging before.
00:57:10.000I mean, it is an intense, intense thing.
00:57:13.000And it almost is like, who else but somebody built for television is ready for this job at this time?
00:57:21.000But what I was saying is that politicians were always like, a thing not like you or I. But then all of a sudden they are a thing like you or I, because now it's Trump.
00:57:29.000And he might not be like the average person, but he's like you or I. I almost did his show.
00:57:34.000When I was doing the re-version, the new version of Fear Factor, they invited me to do it.
00:57:39.000And I thought about it for a while, but I would have had to live in New York for a few months, and I was like, I don't want to do that.
00:57:43.000The new Fear Factor that's coming out?
00:58:55.000There's not one human being I don't believe in the country that doesn't have the word Trump go through their brain, whether they say it out loud or not.
01:00:07.000Filled with anxiety because he's not doing that part of the job well.
01:00:12.000Well, he still goes on Twitter and calls people losers.
01:00:15.000And you're like, wait, it's like a kid, like you were saying before, it's like a kid hearing, like having a dad be batshit crazy in the house.
01:00:24.000If dad is shooting heroin and he's laying on the couch and he's covered in Cheetos and he's yelling at the wife, the whole house is going to be freaked out.
01:00:45.000I mean, other than the real issues with the environment, the rolling back the standards on the EPA and all the different things he's doing that freak people out.
01:01:10.000I mean, you could make a case that all of this is a big oil grab, right?
01:01:16.000Well, the Dakota Pipeline stuff is terrifying.
01:01:18.000Dakota Pipeline stuff, the head of the EPA is an oil guy, the Secretary of State is an Exxon guy, the people he favors more than our European allies are Saudi Arabia and Russia, big oil.
01:03:22.000As opposed to a regular plastic bag, which probably takes like a fucking 100,000 years or something.
01:03:26.000Then birds eat it and die and choke on the plastic caps.
01:03:30.000But apparently you can make plastic out of hemp.
01:03:33.000And it's super easy to make in terms of, like, it regrows itself very quickly.
01:03:39.000Like, if you have a forest and you're trying to make paper, like, you know, you're trying to make paper out of a, you know, you have a forest timber that you chop down specifically for paper.
01:03:47.000To regrow it to the point where you could grow paper again could take years.
01:03:50.000I don't know how many years, but many years.
01:03:52.000Whereas hemp regrows itself every year.
01:04:14.000Well, that's certainly something that can be worked on.
01:04:17.000The idea of biodegradable plastics would be huge.
01:04:20.000That's one of the scariest things is...
01:04:23.000That we started making waste and never had a plan to do anything with the waste, and then it stacked up to the point where we're dealing with enormous amounts of waste being put out by human beings every single second of every single day.
01:04:36.000I was in New York last week, just working the Comedy Cellar all week, and every night I left the club, just on McDougal Street, just between 3rd and Bleecker, The amount of garbage that's thrown out of these restaurants and these juice places and coffee places stacked waist high all the way down the street every single day.
01:04:59.000You see rats darting in and out of them.
01:05:33.000Think about how many times someone had to make plastic and how many bottles of plastic are being made and then that plastic has to be in a landfill somewhere.
01:05:41.000Or floating in the ocean, that giant island in the ocean.
01:09:44.000One of their podcasts they did, he went to the bathroom, and I guess he didn't do a good job of wiping, and then he reached back and felt his butt and then smeared it on his face like war paint.
01:13:59.000You get your shit together and don't you ever do that again.
01:14:03.000Yeah, look you want to go to dinner sure bring her along you want to do it fine Mike's problem is that he doesn't listen to me enough I know, that's so great you're here to tell me that.
01:14:59.000Yeah, because he's playing sexual politics with at least two different girls.
01:15:02.000Like, you might have a girlfriend there, but he's a little too friendly with her friend, and she's getting pissed off, and you complimented her dress.
01:15:32.000It's absolutely important for any friendship, any relationship, any time two people interact with each other to take time apart from each other.
01:17:14.000They say you shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but when they kill your friend and then kill themselves, I think you're allowed to talk shit.
01:17:48.000And you're just picturing her getting stuffed in the back of this pickup truck by some fucking farmer boy, some dude with thick wrists and big ol' catcher's mid-hands, just laying his fat dick to her.
01:18:39.000Yeah, he would do things, like he learned how to be a pilot.
01:18:44.000So he would be on the set, and during the downtime, he'd be reading aviation books.
01:18:49.000He'd be sitting there reading them, going through them.
01:18:51.000He was the most studious guy and the most disciplined with his notes.
01:18:54.000He would have his script, and each one of his scenes that he was in would have a certain highlight, like a tab, like a green tab or whatever the color tab was.
01:19:04.000And then all of his scenes would be highlighted.
01:23:22.000People have their own particular sort of human neurochemistry they got going on up there and with some people when they do coke and Zoloft together, it just makes them insane.
01:23:32.000Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but those are the real one of the Real losses as a fan of his is that he was the kind of guy that the older he got the better he would become.
01:23:42.000Oh, yeah He was playing guys who are older than him.
01:23:44.000He had that very fatherly Intelligent, older kind of vibe anyway.
01:28:03.000People in my neighborhood, you could see them, like, stuff packed to their roof and shit, coming out in, like, rows of cars, people pulling out of garages and shit.
01:28:40.000And one firefighter told me, he goes, dude, It's just a matter of time before one day a fire catches and it goes through the entire city and we can't do shit about it.
01:28:51.000He goes, it's just the right conditions, the right wind, the fire coming from the right amount of angles, the wind taking the embers in the air, lighting more houses on fire.
01:29:38.000Do you want to be Rick from The Walking Dead, who goes through several seasons of horrific events and is basically a shattered man by the time I abandon the show?
01:29:51.000I'd probably go somewhere in between, get a little adventure, meet some new people, make some mistakes, you think you got it together, and then wacko.
01:30:00.000But isn't The Walking Dead the ultimate existential crisis?
01:30:03.000Because if you do die, you're going to come back as a zombie.
01:32:35.000The Henry Miller Museum and the Big Sur, Vantana, all these beautiful places where you would drive up and be able to stay overnight and eat on the coast.
01:34:39.000My cousin has a place down towards San Diego, and all these beautiful multi-million dollar homes on this cliff, and they just keep shoring up the cliff.
01:34:48.000They just keep putting in new planks, got concrete rivet, and they're just hanging on.
01:34:54.000It's like someone, some day, is in this house when it goes down.
01:35:46.000Well, in the new studio, the new studio is like a mythical place that we keep talking about.
01:35:50.000Once it actually exists, people go like, oh, he wasn't bullshitting.
01:35:52.000Yeah, you have been talking about it for a while.
01:35:54.000The new studio, we're actually having ventilation systems put in the ceiling so that it can hit a button and it'll suck the smoke out of the room.
01:39:35.000You know that one thing that some comedians will do, especially in the early days, where they say a bunch of things in a row, and they memorize it, and the audience will clap at the end of their big memorization?
01:48:07.000Do you remember that was always the rumor that he had bought out the Little Rascals and then he had kept it from being aired because it was racist?
01:48:14.000Yeah, because of the buckwheat stuff and all that racist stuff in it.
01:50:11.000Just a few of the easily recognizable names were a fond part of the childhoods of generations of kids, beloved characters, blah, blah, blah.
01:50:19.000It's just a rumor that started around 1989. So where can you get Little Rascals now?
01:50:23.000You could probably just buy it online.
01:50:25.000I don't know if it's officially on Hulu or anything.
01:50:27.000I didn't look for that, but it says it's been licensed in the syndication since 1997. Bill Cosby has never owned any part of the rights to Little Rascals.
01:50:44.000Ted Turner had bought up the rights of the TV show The Dukes of Hazard to keep it off television because of his demeaning portrayal of Southerners.
01:52:01.000The mayor of New Orleans, I forget his name, gave this eloquent 20 minute speech About the removal of four statues in New Orleans, Robert E. Lee, Civil War era things.
01:52:57.000He, 20 minutes, in a time like we're talking about a rush of just news and constant noise and chatter and tweets, this guy takes 20 minutes.
01:53:08.000Eloquently, calmly makes the case in a way that my paraphrasing doesn't do it any justice.
01:59:03.000Like, all these shows, like, when we really think back, like, we look back at 2017 from the future, and we look at the state of the media today, and how, like, one side, whether it's Fox News or whether it's CNN, We'll be so heavily leaned in one direction or the other,
01:59:21.000so obviously editorializing what's going on in the news and their opinions of the news.
01:59:25.000Well, it's all just entertainment at this point.
01:59:28.000I mean, you know, when that horrible thing happened in Manchester at the concert, it's like, okay, that act is heinous, and what happened that night to those people is heinous, but then who does all of the other work of scaring the daylights out of the rest of the world?
02:00:21.000And they would be remiss if they didn't report on it.
02:00:23.000You can report on it, but you don't have to have me walking with my daughter through an airport and having it blaring out of every television set, the girls screaming.
02:00:33.000You could have grown-ups sitting there and analyzing it without sensationalizing it, but it's entertainment.
02:00:38.000It's this big balls-out entertainment network.
02:00:51.000I was trying, I was working on this book, I was at the end of this book, I had a deadline, I'm just head down, not trying to follow anything, but I was traveling at the same time, wolf blitzers popping out in bars, in restaurants, at the gate, Wetzel's pretzels,
02:01:08.000more breaking news, Trump did this now!
02:01:15.000There's no responsibility about these, like, you know, be an old man, be an old, what happened to like the news reporters being like a shitty guy?
02:01:26.000They just deliver the news as the grandfather.
02:01:30.000They're running ads now on CNN of them like Wolf Blitzer and another couple of them walking through the hall.
02:02:09.000Well, you know what really disturbs me when they do that podcast thing where Anderson Cooper does that 360 where he's sitting at the desk and he'll have four people to his right, four people to his left.
02:03:30.000And, you know, and Sean Hannity was saying something along the lines of, don't you think America's smart enough to make up their own mind, which is just so ridiculous.
02:03:37.000Well, so candy ass of him is that he backs out of it and says, well, I'm not a journalist.
02:04:52.000You have changed the television landscape over the past 20 years.
02:04:56.000You took it from being objective and dull to being subjective and entertaining.
02:05:01.000And in this current climate, it doesn't matter what the interviewer asks him.
02:05:05.000Mr. Trump is going to say whatever he wants to say, as outrageous as it may be.
02:05:11.000Okay, but you know, your old network ABC does interview Mr. Trump on a regular basis, and our job, whether I'm a commentator or a reporter, is to get as much information, number one, and two, show the viewer who the person really is.
02:05:27.000So again, I'll go back to, he's sitting on Nightline, you're opposed, right opposite him, how do you do it?
02:05:34.000Well, the first way you do it is not in the interview.
02:05:39.000It's an old-fashioned concept that I think demonstrating who and what Mr. Trump is and what his various policies really amount to is something you don't do in an interview.
02:06:55.000Who has a responsibility to tell the news in an objective sense?
02:06:59.000If you can editorialize, you can write things out, and you can decide which stories should get the most coverage.
02:07:05.000During the campaign, CNN was all about the sexual harassment cases against Trump, and then Fox News was all about Hillary and her email scandal.
02:07:13.000They just decided, who's to say what you can and can't do when it comes to that?
02:07:19.000We don't really have a hard, fast rule when it comes to television journalism.
02:07:24.000I mean, we think New York Times, we think, you know, in certain newspapers that have a great, you know, we have respect for them.
02:11:46.000I don't know if it's a myth or not, but I heard that the young ones are actually more dangerous because they unload all their venom, whereas the older ones just give you a little zap.
02:12:59.000They're kind of like saying, look, I know you're going to kill this fucking snake.
02:13:02.000I looked it up for a hiking, because if you don't do it when you're in a house, it's giving you other information, so it's specific for a hike.
02:13:08.000So it still doesn't say if you should move or not.
02:13:10.000It definitely says you're supposed to stay still, but if you have to walk a mile to your house uphill...
02:14:55.000This was also confirmed by the snake bite poison line.
02:14:59.000A lot of snake bite patients injure themselves by panicking directly after a snake bite, by tripping over a rock or a tree trunk, or by falling off the cliff side of the trail.
02:16:30.000Examples are metallic taste in your mouth, changes to your sense of smell, sudden loss of vision, double vision, visual disturbances, ringing in the ears, headache, nausea, and vomiting, bleeding from anywhere, dizziness, shortness of breath, etc.
02:19:06.000Don't get caught by a snake without a pair.
02:19:09.000The leader in snake-proof boot business become the standard of quality and durability that will support the hunter in reptile-infested areas.
02:19:48.000Like, could you imagine if you were wearing those stupid looking boots and that fucking snake lunged forward and you saw the teeth, you're like, this cunt is going to get me right above the boot.
02:19:57.000And bam, he locks onto your kneecap and fills it up with hot venom.
02:20:01.000You have to look in his fucking reptilian ancient eyes.
02:20:05.000His heartless, soulless eyes as he pumps his toxin into your fucking bloodstream.
02:20:10.000And you're still wearing those stupid boots.
02:20:13.000You looking for a handjob in a motorboat?
02:22:55.000I once got an offer when I was first starting as a comic to do...
02:22:59.000The offer was, you would drive a van with all the stuff for the stage in it to the state fair, help the crew build the stage, load everything onto the stage and stuff, and then you drive...
02:23:14.000At the end of the show, you do a little comedy, host a little, and then you drive to the next...
02:23:19.000You break down the stage, load it up, then you drive to the next city.
02:23:33.000I was like, I said to my girlfriend at the time, who's now my wife, we should just get on the motorcycle and just drive all these places without these state fair shows.
02:24:57.000They're always forcing their opinions, they're always pushing their opinions with a lot of energy and emphasis, and they're always resisting anything that is contrary to their opinions, never considering them, never going over it, like really objectively.
02:25:11.000It's always this, which is a natural, that natural knee-jerk reaction that all of us are subjected to.
02:27:20.000Because it seems like anytime you're in something public and you side anyway, you know, one issue and you go this way or that way, you're getting attacked.
02:27:46.000And when I have fucked up before, I've read things that people said that it didn't feel good to read it, but I knew that they were probably right.
02:29:36.000But don't you think that's also what makes social media and interaction with people so interesting, is that people can throw their opinion into the ring.
02:29:44.000Throw their hat into the ring, as it were.
02:29:45.000They read something that you say, or they heard something that you said in a clip, and then they argue with you about it.
02:30:04.000I mean, that's some of the best conversations you can have are when you don't agree with somebody, and you're just kind of like going back, and it can get heated, but it's not insulting.
02:30:15.000And it's also when you explore why you believe something and I believe something different and you go back and forth over it, if you do do it respectful and you do get to understand where that person's coming from, sometimes it makes it even more obvious to everybody listening and to you that they're wrong.
02:31:20.000And even if you're with somebody, and you're engaged, and you're having this real back and forth about something, and you both are dealing with the facts...
02:31:27.000But you still have your opinion that, no, I'm still siding with this way and I'm siding with that way.
02:31:40.000I mean, I know people in my family, people, you know, that I work with, whatever, who have total different views, vote differently, act differently, do whatever.
02:32:01.000My whole family was like, my grandfather was hard right, my uncle was hard left, and they would argue and fight, but they loved each other and everybody kind of got along and just ate their potatoes after the argument.
02:32:31.000And then when you start talking to them about it, Like you actually ask them, what makes you think that climate change is just a cycle and that human beings are not involved in it?
02:32:39.000Well, it's been shown that a lot of the data has been hoaxed and a lot of the...
02:32:43.000And then if you just go deeper, deeper, deeper down the rabbit hole, you find out they haven't looked into it that much.
02:33:32.000Do you tell them that they have to just say, like, okay, if you're going to call something in the news, should we have, like, a thing where you have to, like, meet a standard of ingredients?
02:33:44.000Like, we looked at your ingredients, and you have trans fats in your news, and you have all this other bullshit.
02:34:01.000But then there should be a thing, a little logo up in the corner that says, Opinion Show, like a little O. And then there should be an N on the top of the whatever show that's just giving you facts for the day.
02:35:30.000And I really try and carve that out every day.
02:35:33.000It's not going to make me Van Gogh, but I really believe those things.
02:35:37.000To just sit with your coffee for a couple minutes and just in peace, just have that.
02:35:42.000Those moments, like even when you're talking about making your bread, those moments make you more of a person, those moments of thought and careful consideration of what you're doing, relaxation.
02:35:51.000You sitting there and eating the bread, just having a slice of toast and a coffee and just sit for 10 minutes before you embark on whatever madness you're going to do for the day.
02:36:17.000And a lot of guys will bring like a little jet boil and packets of coffee, and they'll cook up some hot water, and they'll sit together, and they'll have a moment to be a person again.
02:36:29.000And sit down, let's have a cup of coffee.
02:38:12.000No, those moments are really important in life.
02:38:14.000I really believe those little quiet things that have been passed on.
02:38:19.000If things have been around for thousands of years and people have figured it out, the cocktail hour, the quiet moment before bed or in the morning when you're having your coffee, those things are figured out for a reason.
02:38:33.000Have figured out this is the way to live.
02:39:05.000Yeah, I was interviewing Dr. Robert Sapolsky yesterday, a famous scientist, and one of the things I was doing was going over some of his work, listening to some of his previous interviews and reading some of his articles and stuff, and he had this thing about meditation.
02:41:00.000He goes on these trips, like, excuse me, up all the way, mostly East Coast, but he's done all of Europe, he's done all of the U.S. You ever wipe out?
02:41:22.000You're still dependent on other people, but...
02:41:25.000The only time I fell over was my wife and I pulled into a Days Inn in Kansas and we'd done a lot of highway, just straight hours just going.
02:41:37.000And we pulled up to the Days Inn and the routine was we'd pull in at the end of the day and she would go in to check into the hotel and I would take care of the bike.
02:41:45.000And we pulled into a Days Inn and she hopped off the bike and I just never took my feet off the pegs.
02:42:21.000And then one person I know saw a person get hit, saw someone space out on their phone, ran into some guy from behind, sent him flying through the air, just hit him.
02:50:24.000There's also the power of coincidence.
02:50:26.000Indeed, pervasive myths, if a young boy shaves his mustache, it will grow back thicker, are grounded in a kernel of truth.
02:50:32.000It might, but that's because the shaving may overlap with the timing of natural hormonal fluctuations in his body that are developing his adult facial hair, not because of his hair removal.
02:52:02.000I have also purchased a new commercial-sized Yoder pellet smoker and I will be cooking from the new location.
02:52:13.000So next time we do Fight Companion or maybe next time you and I do a podcast, we will sit down to a meal that I will cook before you ever get here.
02:52:23.000So we'll have a meal and we'll put some cameras on us and we'll talk some shit while we're eating a nice, delicious, wild game dinner.
02:53:17.000It works on pellets, meaning hardwood pellets.
02:53:20.000So what they do is they take, you know, when a lumberyard cuts up like maple or oak or some hardwood, they take the pellets, they take rather the sawdust, and they compress it, and the natural sugars compress Down into pellets and the pellets hold together and they pour these pellets in a hopper and the hopper feeds into a worm drive that feeds to a heating element.
02:53:44.000So it keeps it at a very consistent temperature.
02:53:59.000And there's another company called Traeger that just came out with a really super high-tech one that's thick and insulated like a Yeti cooler.
02:55:43.000It's just electricity heats up that heating element, and there's a fan that blows air on the wood chips while they're getting cooked, and then it's just smoke.
02:55:58.000There's another company, a really good company, called Green Mountain Grills.
02:56:01.000They actually gave me a grill back in the day.
02:56:03.000They were the first ones I'd ever tried.
02:56:04.000Those are excellent, too, and you can get a good one that's not even too expensive.
02:56:09.000Camp Chef has another really nice one, too.
02:56:11.000So I'm not trying to tell anybody to buy anything, but I'm saying if you're thinking about getting a grill, I would look into one of these pellet grills.
02:57:31.000It's a delicious, really healthy meat.
02:57:33.000But my favorite way to do it now, because of this guy, Chad, Whiskey Bent Barbecue on Instagram, was my friend John Dudley's buddy, who's a world champion pitmaster.
02:59:19.000Like when you open the lid up, the smell of like maple and all the different, you know, you can buy a bunch of different like apple wood, all kinds of different cherry.
03:00:07.000What I do is I take some kale, I chop it up, and then I chop up some garlic, and usually I do jalapenos, too.
03:00:15.000Then I get some butter cooking, I put the kale in the butter, I saute it, and once it really starts getting darker and it's ready to rock, I just crack a few eggs in there.
03:00:52.000What you do is you vacuum seal your food in a plastic bag, and then you put it in a pot with water, and then the hot water, the thing will heat up the temperature of the water like 125 degrees.
03:01:05.000My question would be, is the plastic leaching into your food?
