Transcript

00:00:02.000 Ooh.
00:00:02.000 Ooh, we're live.
00:00:04.000 The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast is brought to you by The Fleshlight.
00:00:07.000 If you go to JoeRogan.net and click on the link for The Fleshlight, and then you enter in the code name ROGAN, you get 50%...
00:00:13.000 Well, 50?
00:00:14.000 Did I say 50?
00:00:14.000 15!
00:00:15.000 I'm not adding new coupons, folks.
00:00:19.000 I'm just high.
00:00:20.000 15% off the number one sex toy for men.
00:00:23.000 This is number one.
00:00:23.000 There was a fucking race, apparently, and The Fleshlight won.
00:00:27.000 How do they judge that?
00:00:28.000 I have no idea.
00:00:29.000 It's ridiculous.
00:00:30.000 I guess because they sell more.
00:00:31.000 You can just call yourself number one.
00:00:32.000 That must be what it is.
00:00:34.000 It's a solid product.
00:00:36.000 Don't get me wrong.
00:00:37.000 We're making fun of it.
00:00:37.000 But if you're going to masturbate, and you're going to masturbate, stop fucking around.
00:00:41.000 This is technology for masturbation.
00:00:43.000 It's an embarrassing purchase indeed.
00:00:44.000 It's a fucking commitment.
00:00:46.000 But it is worth it.
00:00:47.000 It's fucking great.
00:00:48.000 Works awesome.
00:00:49.000 Way better than your hand or your cat.
00:00:52.000 And we're also brought to you by Onnit.com.
00:00:55.000 That's O-N-N-I-T.com, the makers of AlphaBrain, the cognitive enhancing supplement that I swear by.
00:01:02.000 I love the stuff.
00:01:03.000 And you can find out about it online.
00:01:05.000 If you don't know too much about nootropics, just Google it.
00:01:07.000 There's a bunch of different articles that have been written on the subject.
00:01:10.000 And if you're interested in it, experiment on your own.
00:01:12.000 And like we always say, if you like the idea behind AlphaBrain, but you think it's too expensive or whatever, just copy the ingredients.
00:01:19.000 Go buy it in bulk.
00:01:21.000 Mix it yourself.
00:01:22.000 I'm much more interested in people not getting ripped off than I am in making any money off this thing.
00:01:28.000 If you don't like it, you also get 100% money back guarantee.
00:01:32.000 It's real simple.
00:01:33.000 If you order it, you say it sucks, you get your money back.
00:01:36.000 I try to be as even as possible with this.
00:01:38.000 If you go to JoeRogan.net and click on the link for AlphaBrain, you can get 10% off by entering the code name Rogan.
00:01:45.000 There's also a bunch of other cool shit that we have.
00:01:48.000 This New Mood, it is a 5-HTP serotonin-boosting supplement that I really like.
00:01:55.000 And then there's this Cordyceps Mushrooms supplement called Shroom Tech Sport, which is great for anybody who likes to really work out hard.
00:02:04.000 And it's got a lot of vitamin B12 in it as well.
00:02:07.000 And together, it's a really good, vigorous workout formula.
00:02:12.000 Brian does not need that shit, though.
00:02:14.000 It makes me type faster.
00:02:16.000 Did it do anything for you?
00:02:18.000 You know, I haven't really tried that one yet.
00:02:20.000 That's the only one I've tried, but I'm doing everything else, and I really like the Immune.
00:02:23.000 That's my favorite one.
00:02:23.000 Yeah, the Shroom Tech Immune is a really fascinating one, because what it is, is somehow or another, I don't know the total science behind it, so I don't want to speak out of school, but...
00:02:32.000 From what it's explained to me is that when you eat these mushrooms, your immune system reacts to them as if there's an issue, like there's a bacterial infection, a cold or something, but there is no cold.
00:02:44.000 So it jumps up your immune system, so your immune system builds up this big crazy army, but then there's no war.
00:02:50.000 So if some other punks come along, your immune system is ready.
00:02:54.000 Anyway, that's the end of the commercials.
00:02:57.000 Hit the music, bitch!
00:02:58.000 We got Everlast in the house today!
00:03:00.000 Come on, son!
00:03:04.000 What's the name of this song?
00:03:06.000 I Get By.
00:03:08.000 Single off the new album, Everlast, Ungrateful Living.
00:03:12.000 Government man keep calling my house, talking about our old, harassing my spouse.
00:03:30.000 Gotta park my truck on another block, cause the subprime loan got my ass in hock.
00:03:36.000 Got a couple good friends with helping hands.
00:03:39.000 I need a brand new job with a healthcare plan.
00:03:42.000 They closed the plan, they stole my job.
00:03:45.000 They told me crime don't pay unless you ask the mob.
00:03:47.000 So I smoke a little grass, drink a little wine.
00:03:51.000 Watch a little too, try to kill a little time.
00:03:53.000 And every single day I found a little more behind.
00:03:56.000 But I'm paying it no mind, it'll all be fine.
00:03:59.000 I get fired.
00:04:00.000 I barely get fired.
00:04:06.000 It's good shit.
00:04:08.000 Love it.
00:04:11.000 This is classic.
00:04:16.000 You gotta check out the video.
00:04:18.000 Where can you find the video?
00:04:20.000 On YouTube, Everlast Music Channel.
00:04:23.000 We only gave you a taste, ladies and gentlemen.
00:04:24.000 There's more of that song, obviously.
00:04:26.000 But you can tell that's classic shit.
00:04:28.000 That's you and your groove, man.
00:04:31.000 Yeah.
00:04:31.000 And you know what?
00:04:32.000 It's one of those CDs I was talking about this earlier.
00:04:34.000 I buy CDs and I usually like two or three songs.
00:04:38.000 This is one of those CDs where I honestly like every single song on this CD. And there's a few of them.
00:04:43.000 That, like, my house, I fucking love.
00:04:45.000 This is an awesome CD, man.
00:04:46.000 It's been a while since you put something out, so is it, like...
00:04:49.000 A couple years.
00:04:50.000 How many years has it been?
00:04:51.000 Two.
00:04:52.000 2008 I put a three, so 2008 I put out a record.
00:04:54.000 Do you like having, like, that kind of a space in between records where you really get to work on your shit and really get to, like, put it in a form you like?
00:05:01.000 Yeah, I got no choice.
00:05:03.000 It's just songs come to me in groups and in bunches, and then I get caught up just living.
00:05:09.000 You know what I mean?
00:05:11.000 I just kind of...
00:05:15.000 I can't force an issue.
00:05:16.000 If I tried to write a song when I wasn't feeling like writing a song, it would just be horrible.
00:05:20.000 I mean, I've done it.
00:05:21.000 I've tried it.
00:05:22.000 You know what I mean?
00:05:22.000 It's just sometimes it's like life says don't write a record.
00:05:27.000 Right, right, right.
00:05:28.000 And then I tour and I lay back and I take my time.
00:05:33.000 I like taking in as much music as I do putting out music.
00:05:37.000 So I listen to things.
00:05:39.000 I learn more about music.
00:05:40.000 Right.
00:05:41.000 Do you like, when you write, do you just say, do you have like a whim?
00:05:45.000 Like it just comes across you?
00:05:46.000 Like, I'm going to sit down right now and start writing a song.
00:05:48.000 Like, you don't have like a set aside time or anything.
00:05:50.000 Like, where you go, I'm just going to work on music.
00:05:53.000 How does it work with you?
00:05:54.000 Nowadays, I just go, you know, I keep a studio away from the house.
00:05:58.000 Just, you know, kind of, and make it like a job.
00:06:00.000 Just go every day, you know, not quite nine to five hours, but...
00:06:05.000 Try to keep it as respectful to the family and whatnot as you can.
00:06:09.000 Before, if I wanted to work at 2 in the morning, I'd work at 2 in the morning.
00:06:14.000 And that's still the case, but I don't really live in that hour anymore.
00:06:19.000 I don't either, but there's something kind of badass about that shit that comes out at like 4 a.m.
00:06:23.000 Yeah, that's why you can't not do it if it needs to be done, but I'm not sitting around at 2 in the morning waiting on it.
00:06:32.000 If it jumps on me, I'm working on it, but...
00:06:35.000 I always personally felt like I was writing anything that you don't get into the real trance until like the whole house is asleep.
00:06:41.000 Oh yeah.
00:06:41.000 Until it's just you and the silence and the keyboard and then you get into the real trance.
00:06:46.000 Well that's also why I keep a separate area like you know I'm talking about like a good hour away from the house.
00:06:51.000 I got a drive to go to the studio and I usually spend a day or two there and you know just lock my mind out of everything and try and you know it's there's no windows so it could be two in the morning and you know Are you always writing shit down too?
00:07:06.000 Like if you're like in a restaurant or something, you have an idea for something, do you write it down or do you just fuck with it in your head?
00:07:10.000 I've honestly never written an idea down ever.
00:07:13.000 Wow.
00:07:13.000 Not a lyric, not a rap lyric, not a song.
00:07:16.000 So you just keep them all in your head.
00:07:17.000 Yeah, not a chord, like progression on it.
00:07:20.000 Wow.
00:07:21.000 If I can't remember it, it's lost to the universe.
00:07:24.000 That's awesome.
00:07:26.000 There's something beautiful about that, man.
00:07:28.000 That's pretty badass.
00:07:28.000 Yeah, I'm like a beautiful mind, kind of an idiot.
00:07:31.000 Idiot savant.
00:07:34.000 I don't even know half the chords I play on the guitar, man.
00:07:38.000 I've just copied them from other people.
00:07:39.000 Really?
00:07:40.000 Holy shit.
00:07:42.000 Doesn't Jay-Z do that as well?
00:07:44.000 He doesn't write any of his raps down?
00:07:45.000 I believe so, yeah.
00:07:46.000 That's incredible.
00:07:47.000 That's incredible.
00:07:48.000 So all of your shit is just...
00:07:49.000 It just started for me as a way of exercising your mind when I was a young kid trying to be a rapper.
00:07:55.000 I was like, you should always have it ready in your brain.
00:07:58.000 And then my style of writing just became kind of visual, and it's like in my mind when I write lyrics, I have the pictures in my brain.
00:08:06.000 I equate it to that cat on Oz that drew pictures on paper, but he was a poet.
00:08:10.000 You know what I mean?
00:08:11.000 It wasn't words.
00:08:12.000 It was always his picture, but he would read it as a poem.
00:08:14.000 And it's almost the same thing.
00:08:16.000 It's three-dimensional in my head.
00:08:17.000 A song, the minute I would start writing the words out two-dimensionally, it would just lose all meaning and feeling to me.
00:08:24.000 Oh, that's fascinating.
00:08:25.000 So you feel like the writing in just a verbal and an audio way is the way to do it and just store it in memory.
00:08:32.000 It's just three-dimensional for me.
00:08:34.000 In my mind, it's like three-dimensional pictures of what I'm writing about.
00:08:38.000 That totally makes sense.
00:08:39.000 The minute I commit them to paper and they're two-dimensional, I lose all it.
00:08:42.000 I hate.
00:08:43.000 I mean, it's a despisal.
00:08:45.000 They go from something I'm really digging, so let me write that down and see it.
00:08:48.000 And then I see it as a whole different medium.
00:08:51.000 It's words.
00:08:52.000 It's paper.
00:08:53.000 That's amazing.
00:08:55.000 Yeah, that's a fascinating way of looking at it.
00:08:56.000 Might be why I only put out a record every two or three years.
00:09:00.000 That's really interesting, though, but you're totally right.
00:09:03.000 Well, there's some people that have just a way of expressing themselves.
00:09:06.000 That's like a fun way to listen to.
00:09:08.000 I always bring up my friend Joey Diaz.
00:09:10.000 Do you know Joey Diaz, the comedian?
00:09:12.000 Sounds familiar.
00:09:13.000 If you ever listen to the podcast, he's on all the time.
00:09:16.000 He's one of my best friends, and he's this guy that is just...
00:09:19.000 The way he talks is just like poetry.
00:09:23.000 He's just like, what's up, dog?
00:09:24.000 Where's this party-kicking motherfucker?
00:09:26.000 What are we doing, bitches?
00:09:27.000 He's giving everybody knuckles, and everybody's laughing and smiling.
00:09:30.000 He just takes you off in a wave.
00:09:32.000 And Joey Diaz is not something you can write down on paper.
00:09:35.000 That's a flavor.
00:09:36.000 That's a real, live, like as you said, three-dimensional flavor to the way his words come out.
00:09:41.000 It's alive.
00:09:43.000 It surrounds me in my head.
00:09:45.000 If I'm writing it in my head, it's all around me.
00:09:48.000 Wow.
00:09:48.000 And meaning I commit it to paper, it's just flat and loses it.
00:09:52.000 So if none of this is all written down, do you have a set list in your mind of how you put it in order in your shows?
00:09:59.000 Or do you wing it?
00:10:00.000 Do you go on how you feel?
00:10:02.000 No, I'll write the titles down for a set list.
00:10:06.000 I'm saying, it's also become a superstition at this point in my life.
00:10:12.000 It's like, after you make a record, they want the lyrics.
00:10:15.000 The publishing company that's giving you money for what you've written wants to know what you wrote.
00:10:22.000 But I actually have to have one of my people, my assistants, write the lyrics down.
00:10:27.000 I'll sit there and dictate them to you.
00:10:29.000 Because it's become a superstition at this point, too.
00:10:32.000 Wow.
00:10:32.000 Have you ever tried to break away from that?
00:10:35.000 Let me see if I could just write one out.
00:10:37.000 And start from scratch by writing it down.
00:10:38.000 I have.
00:10:39.000 And it's just, again, it's like I don't...
00:10:40.000 I live in a song until it's done.
00:10:44.000 You know what I mean?
00:10:44.000 Until it's finished.
00:10:45.000 It's all around me.
00:10:46.000 Once it's on paper, it's like it's...
00:10:48.000 Well, you hit some notes, man.
00:10:51.000 You hit some notes in that What It's Like song.
00:10:53.000 We're like, whoa.
00:10:55.000 You know, the one about the girl finding out she's pregnant and the guy leaving.
00:10:59.000 You find that man again.
00:11:00.000 She's going to cut off his balls.
00:11:01.000 You You hit that note, and that note maybe wasn't something that would have ever been the same if it was written down.
00:11:07.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:11:07.000 Like, you hit it with the feeling of being that girl in that situation, and it was realistic and, you know, like alive, three-dimensional.
00:11:18.000 Yeah, I mean, trust me, there's times I wish I could do that, like, take that and write it on a piece of paper in a way that I thought was beautiful and artistic, because I'd love to write a movie.
00:11:28.000 But I can't do that.
00:11:30.000 I'm saying it's this thing about music and the way it lives in my head.
00:11:34.000 I don't really know how to make music, man.
00:11:36.000 I've been faking it for a long time, dude.
00:11:39.000 I've just been picking up things and making sounds that I'm like, I like this sound.
00:11:42.000 I'm going to make this sound.
00:11:44.000 That's the realest way I can put it.
00:11:46.000 I mean, I've learned along the way how to become a musician and how to produce a record.
00:11:51.000 but I'm saying it started with me just kind of being like, I'm just going to rap or whatever it was I was going to do, you know, and then pick up the guitar.
00:11:59.000 I was just, I'm just going to play this little thing I wrote.
00:12:02.000 That's kind of brilliant, though, in a way, because it's so uninfluenced and influenced at the same time.
00:12:09.000 You know, instead of being influenced by, like, classical instruction and, you know, structure and all that stuff, you're influenced by just what you enjoy and imitating that, you know, and then expressing it in your own way.
00:12:19.000 It's, you know.
00:12:20.000 That's amazing.
00:12:21.000 It's a, that's very rare that, you know, that someone's ever done that, right?
00:12:25.000 When you meet other people that are musicians, do they have the same story?
00:12:28.000 No, not really.
00:12:29.000 I mean, a lot of them really trip on the way I do what I do.
00:12:33.000 Especially when I bring...
00:12:34.000 Because I always bring in cats to help produce records.
00:12:37.000 I think, even though I could probably accomplish the deed on my own, you need people to challenge you in the course of creating something just to make it that much better.
00:12:46.000 Just to collaborate and bounce shit back and forth to somebody you respect.
00:12:49.000 Or just people that you even trust enough that would say, that sucks.
00:12:52.000 Even if it's just somebody that's that, you're my guy to make sure if something sucks, you're the voice.
00:12:59.000 You know what I mean?
00:12:59.000 Whose opinion you trust.
00:13:01.000 Yeah.
00:13:01.000 But, yeah, also creatively, whatever it is.
00:13:03.000 You know what I mean?
00:13:04.000 There's a lot of instruments I can't play.
00:13:05.000 You know what I mean?
00:13:05.000 That I know cats that can play.
00:13:07.000 So, it's just, you know, All of them go to school.
00:13:14.000 That's what I'm saying.
00:13:15.000 I steal everything I can from all of them.
00:13:17.000 I'm always the worst musician in the room in my mind.
00:13:22.000 Even though I'll get up and play with anybody and it'll work, I still have this thing in the back of my mind that's like, I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
00:13:32.000 It's like, man, okay, I'm just kind of sneaking on stage.
00:13:35.000 Seeing if I blend.
00:13:36.000 I'm like the soy bomb guy from the Grammys.
00:13:39.000 Remember that guy who came out during Dylan with the soy bomb written on his chest?
00:13:44.000 I'm just sneaking onto the set trying to get something.
00:13:46.000 But you gotta know that people must love that.
00:13:48.000 There's something so authentic about that.
00:13:50.000 There's something so authentic about just kind of like learning how to play music by making noises with a guitar until you figure it out.
00:13:57.000 That's pretty fucking badass.
00:13:59.000 You're still in a chord, watching the videos real close, and VHS pausing them, and the thing's shaking, and you're trying to see where his fingers are on the thing.
00:14:08.000 We're like, what chord is that?
00:14:10.000 I'm going to try and do that.
00:14:11.000 Did you read a book on it or anything?
00:14:14.000 I took a few guitar lessons when I was real young, maybe six or eight guitar lessons, and then kind of lost interest in it, because hip-hop kind of stole my mind away.
00:14:26.000 And then later on during the House of Pain days, there's actually a bunch of stuff on House of Pain records that are just little things that I played that we looped up and put, you know, like little country riff for that shit kicker song.
00:14:39.000 Every time I go to town, people start kicking my dog around.
00:14:42.000 There's a guitar piece under there that I played.
00:14:45.000 So there's little bits of it, but it's like after...
00:14:49.000 I left House of Pain, I had a guitar around me all the time, and I just started really actually saying, let me see what I can do with this thing.
00:14:56.000 And the cat who helped me produce Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, or I should say produced the record with me, Dante Ross, we were just working on hip-hop music.
00:15:07.000 And I was just kind of crashing to his place and playing guitar all the time.
00:15:11.000 And he'd be like, what is that?
00:15:12.000 And it was this thing.
00:15:13.000 And I didn't even know what it was yet, but that's what turned out to be what it's like.
00:15:17.000 He's like, we're going to record that tomorrow.
00:15:18.000 And I was like, I don't even know what it is.
00:15:21.000 So now I'm thinking I got to record this thing tomorrow.
00:15:23.000 So I stay up all night and I like write lyrics to it.
00:15:25.000 And, you know, it turned, we put it into a little beat and we were sitting there listening to it and we're like, that works.
00:15:30.000 But how does it work with all this stuff?
00:15:32.000 You're doing this rap record and That's how the other songs in Whitey Ford just kind of started happening.
00:15:38.000 Like I said, the music just started surrounding me.
00:15:40.000 I listen to the music more than, let's say...
00:15:45.000 I have this definite idea of what a song is.
00:15:48.000 I'll get a lyrical idea or a little riff idea, and I'll start working on that.
00:15:53.000 And then once that takes a little bit of life, it'll start telling me what it wants.
00:15:58.000 It'll be like, I'll hear a slide guitar on it, or there should be a piano right there.
00:16:04.000 I can hear it in the space that's in between.
00:16:06.000 It's telling me.
00:16:08.000 I'm not this dude who's like, I know what parts and what, but I'll be like, I know what sound should go right there because I can hear it.
00:16:15.000 And then you add that sound and it will sub-harmonically create this other ghost sound in there that you're like, oh, that's a violin I can hear.
00:16:22.000 Let's put a violin in there.
00:16:23.000 And it builds itself into what it's supposed to be.
00:16:25.000 That's amazing.
00:16:26.000 That's pretty fucking badass, man.
00:16:29.000 When I was a kid, I had friends that were musicians, and I was always terrified of learning a musical instrument.
00:16:33.000 I was like, that shit looks like it.
00:16:35.000 Me too, man.
00:16:36.000 I'm still terrified of learning a musical instrument, man.
00:16:40.000 Do you find technology has helped you a lot?
00:16:43.000 Not GarageBand, but programming, the programs nowadays.
00:16:47.000 I have to keep an engineer around all the time on duty and ready to go, because I'm...
00:16:54.000 So I can get on the laptop and go on YouTube and find some stupid videos that'll make me laugh.
00:17:01.000 I can get on the Facebook and the Twitter and whatnot.
00:17:06.000 I could probably get two tracks recorded at the studio on my own before I just turned in for the day.
00:17:13.000 That would take me probably about six hours, which would take him about eight minutes.
00:17:18.000 The technology has helped By making it easier to have your own studio, you know what I mean?
00:17:25.000 Instead of spending a million dollars on a studio, I spend $40,000, $50,000 and I have a really beautiful studio, you know what I mean?
00:17:32.000 But I'm still with just, it's all about, 90% of what I do is, you know, either at my studio or late at night in a room by myself with the acoustic guitar, banging on it, trying to think of something funny or witty or What you really nailed was this kind of bluesy, smooth, hip-hoppy sound that nobody had ever done before, like what it's like.
00:18:01.000 There's a lot of blues to that song.
00:18:03.000 I just kind of walked a line between Brad from Sublime and Wyclef Jean.
00:18:10.000 I saw what Wyclef started doing with all his R&B and island-influenced music, mixing that with hip-hop.
00:18:19.000 I was just kind of starting to record this guitar stuff, the What It's Like song, and I was a big fan of Sublime and how he always injected these little hip-hop phrases into lyrics and things.
00:18:29.000 I knew he had to be, never really knew the dude, but knew he had to be kind of a b-boy to a certain degree and those kind of things.
00:18:37.000 That's kind of how we saw that it would all work when we were looking at the record, me and my friend Dante.
00:18:42.000 My label thought Whitey Ford Sings the Blues was a horrible idea.
00:18:47.000 Isn't it funny how that always works?
00:18:49.000 It was, because we were convinced, no, this is going to work.
00:18:54.000 It's just what it is.
00:18:55.000 It's all the same thing to me.
00:18:58.000 That's what I always say.
00:18:59.000 I consider myself a hip-hop artist, but I also don't really believe in any genre of music.
00:19:03.000 I just think music's music, you know what I mean?
00:19:05.000 Tony Bennett has some stuff that makes me go like this.
00:19:08.000 I'll be like, oh, that's hip-hop to me, because that's the same thing hip-hop made me do.
00:19:12.000 How lucky can one guy be?
00:19:14.000 The right Zeppelin song.
00:19:15.000 Somebody else, that's rock and roll.
00:19:17.000 Somebody else calls that jazz.
00:19:19.000 You know what I mean?
00:19:20.000 But it's whatever makes you personally Yeah.
00:19:23.000 Ooh!
00:19:23.000 Yeah.
00:19:23.000 What is that?
00:19:24.000 Yeah.
00:19:24.000 You know, kind of feeling.
00:19:25.000 Yeah, I like a lot of country music, and some people give me shit about that.
00:19:28.000 I'm like, I like some Toby Keith songs, man.
00:19:31.000 They're good.
00:19:31.000 I'm not so big on new country, because I'm just not hip to the game, but I love country music, man.
00:19:36.000 You're gonna like that record, John.
00:19:38.000 I'm sure I love it.
00:19:39.000 I'm a huge fan of yours, man.
00:19:40.000 So you drive home tonight, you pop that record in, and by the time you get home, if I don't see a text from you, like, that's a badass record.
00:19:46.000 It goes great with whiskey, I feel.
00:19:49.000 I believe it will.
00:19:51.000 My music ain't country, but it's definitely country-friendly, man.
00:19:54.000 Yeah, well, it's got a slang to it, you know?
00:19:58.000 It's got a smoothness to it.
00:20:00.000 You know, it's great shit, man.
00:20:03.000 I love it.
00:20:03.000 I'm a huge fan of your shit.
00:20:05.000 One of the things Anthony Bourdain said, we were having this conversation once, he didn't become famous until he was in his 40s.
00:20:10.000 Hold up, let me pick up that name you just dropped there, man.
00:20:13.000 Boop!
00:20:15.000 I'm going to say it for you.
00:20:18.000 He said the coolest thing about becoming famous is that you get to meet famous people.
00:20:22.000 That's the coolest thing.
00:20:23.000 Absolutely.
00:20:24.000 And meeting you and hanging out with you at the UFC. One time, we were smoking a joint in a Vegas casino.
00:20:29.000 We're in the middle of a bar.
00:20:33.000 You go, you want to smoke a joint?
00:20:35.000 I go, yeah, where do you want to go?
00:20:36.000 And he goes, Everlast just goes, what do you mean go?
00:20:39.000 He just pulls out a lighter.
00:20:41.000 He just pulls out a lighter and I'm like, alright, well fuck it, man.
00:20:44.000 If I get arrested, at least I'm getting arrested with Everlast.
00:20:46.000 Arrested?
00:20:47.000 At the worst, they'd ask us to put it out, man.
00:20:49.000 At the worst, they'd be like, hey, come on, man.
00:20:51.000 They give you that look like, dude, don't make my job harder.
00:20:53.000 You can still smoke in a nightclub in Vegas, huh?
00:20:56.000 Is there cigarettes allowed in nightclubs in Vegas?
00:20:59.000 I don't know, but we've smoked in the nightclub before.
00:21:01.000 Remember we just stepped out that door and we just smoked?
00:21:04.000 Yeah.
00:21:04.000 But you can't smoke.
00:21:05.000 That's out that door.
00:21:05.000 That's outside.
00:21:06.000 But is it an inside area?
00:21:07.000 Are you allowed to smoke inside anywhere anymore?
00:21:08.000 I think now it's not.
00:21:10.000 I'm trying to remember last time.
00:21:11.000 You can still do it in the casinos because I still see people smoking in the casinos.
00:21:15.000 Oh, they're not going to stop that.
00:21:16.000 They're slowly pulling that out, though.
00:21:18.000 They're slowly pulling the cigarettes out.
00:21:19.000 They're going to fight that tooth in there, though.
00:21:21.000 I guess the real problem is the people that work there, and I get it, man.
00:21:24.000 If you're a waitress, why the fuck should you have to breathe that shit in all day?
00:21:27.000 Hey, I didn't smoke the cigarette.
00:21:29.000 A long time.
00:21:31.000 That's a tricky drug.
00:21:33.000 Yeah, man.
00:21:33.000 You still think about it?
00:21:34.000 Nah, see, because what happened to me was I woke up in the hospital and had emergency heart surgery like 98. So it was like, I was like, oh, I'm done smoking.
00:21:43.000 Wow.
00:21:44.000 I didn't even, I mean, like, I still smoke some weed now and then, but like, you know, even for like three years, two years after that, no, about two years after the surgery, I didn't, I was like on some, hell no, I'm alive.
00:21:55.000 I'm trying to, but I could never sleep because What happened was I went to bed.
00:22:03.000 I'm real tired.
00:22:04.000 I'm not feeling good.
00:22:05.000 Went to sleep and woke up in Cedars.
00:22:08.000 Like, after surgery.
00:22:10.000 So, like, my mind was on this, like, don't go to sleep kind of, like, trip.
00:22:13.000 Holy shit.
00:22:14.000 For, like, a long time, I was, like, an insomniac, man.
00:22:16.000 Oh, my God.
00:22:17.000 But I would let my band guys smoke a little weed up in the front of the bus.
00:22:22.000 And one night, I just, I was, I couldn't sleep, as usual.
00:22:25.000 But somebody had something real just, like, reminiscing.
00:22:28.000 I was like, wow, now, that's something...
00:22:31.000 Quality up there.
00:22:33.000 So I went out there just kind of smelling.
00:22:34.000 I was like, you know what?
00:22:35.000 Let me just...
00:22:36.000 And everybody was like, are you sure?
00:22:37.000 I was like, I'm a grown man.
00:22:38.000 Let me...
00:22:39.000 Like that.
00:22:40.000 That's all I did.
00:22:41.000 Bang.
00:22:42.000 I gave it back to him.
00:22:42.000 I went to the back of the bus.
00:22:44.000 I slept like a goddamn baby, man.
00:22:46.000 So it became for like a good long time, few years.
00:22:51.000 That's all it was.
00:22:52.000 Right before bed.
00:22:53.000 Ah.
00:22:54.000 Yeah.
00:22:54.000 Sleep like a baby.
00:22:55.000 A lot of people use it for that.
00:22:57.000 I know a lot of people that are in silence.
00:22:58.000 And then, of course, you know, after a while, you lose that humbleness that almost dying gives you.
00:23:06.000 And you're out at the club, and somebody's like, I hit the joint before I go to bed.
00:23:10.000 I'll hit it now.
00:23:10.000 And the next thing you know, you're smoking weed.
00:23:12.000 It's lucky you had somebody next to you, though, because you just went to sleep.
00:23:16.000 What if you didn't have somebody next to you?
00:23:18.000 Well, apparently there's more to it than that.
00:23:19.000 During the day, the guys that were making the record with me, we had the studio in my house.
00:23:24.000 I had a house up in Mount Olympus in Laurel Canyon, and I just built the studio up in there to record the record, and Everybody was living in the house.
00:23:32.000 And apparently just all day, I just didn't feel well.
00:23:35.000 And I didn't look well.
00:23:37.000 And when I went to lay down, I guess somebody came and checked on me just to be like, hey, you alright?
00:23:41.000 And I guess I was breathing funny.
00:23:43.000 And they just panicked.
00:23:45.000 Called the hospital.
00:23:46.000 It was my extreme fortune to live in a neighborhood that the closest hospital was Cedars-Sinai.
00:23:57.000 And it was also my...
00:24:01.000 Irish luck that the best heart surgeon in the world, Dr. William Tranto, who's chief of heart surgery over there, I think maybe even of all surgeries, saw my case and told somebody else, you can't do that, I have to do that.
00:24:15.000 What happened to me is the same thing that killed John Ritter in like 30 minutes.
00:24:19.000 Jesus Christ.
00:24:20.000 Same exact thing.
00:24:21.000 What is it exactly?
00:24:22.000 I believe, if I remember correctly, it was called an upper ascending aortic aneurysm.
00:24:28.000 And what I have in there now is a St. Jude's heart valve.
00:24:31.000 It's a titanium heart valve.
00:24:32.000 Like, I tick like a watch, man.
00:24:34.000 Whoa!
00:24:34.000 Want to hear?
00:24:35.000 Hold up.
00:24:36.000 Get real sensitive on this mug right here.
00:24:41.000 Oh, my God.
00:24:45.000 Holy shit.
00:24:46.000 Wow.
00:24:47.000 Yeah, like 14 years now.
00:24:49.000 That's like white noise to me.
00:24:50.000 But I can take my pulse without anything.
00:24:52.000 I can just...
00:24:54.000 Holy shit.
00:24:55.000 That's amazing.
00:24:56.000 You have a titanium valve in your heart.
00:24:59.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:25:01.000 Wow.
00:25:02.000 Is it Bluetooth enabled?
00:25:05.000 Dude, you're like a robot.
00:25:08.000 Bionic rapper, man.
00:25:09.000 For real, that is kind of crazy, man.
00:25:11.000 Isn't it amazing that they can do shit like that?
00:25:13.000 And you've had it in your body for how many years?
00:25:15.000 What, in 98?
00:25:16.000 Since February 98. That's amazing.
00:25:21.000 That freaked me out, man.
00:25:22.000 That's incredible, dude.
00:25:24.000 Yeah, I don't know how to react to that.
00:25:27.000 That's amazing.
00:25:28.000 It's alien technology, man.
00:25:29.000 That's why I love watching your Twitter, dude, because there'll always be some crazy tweet, like some fan will tweet you like, yo, aliens dropped off the cure for cancer at, you know, whatever it is.
00:25:40.000 Fort Knox.
00:25:41.000 Yeah, it's flying over some hospital right now.
00:25:43.000 Yeah, I'll be like, oh man, I love that, because I know I got alien technology in my body, man.
00:25:48.000 Titanium.
00:25:49.000 I got a titanium heart valve, man.
00:25:50.000 That's insane.
00:25:50.000 How does that work?
00:25:52.000 Wow, that's amazing.
00:25:54.000 I mean, imagine trying to explain that to someone 200 years ago.
00:25:56.000 We're going to cut this dude open and we're going to stick some shit inside there where his shit's broken and it's going to be made out of a metal.
00:26:02.000 Witchcraft.
00:26:02.000 You're just a witch.
00:26:03.000 A rare metal.
00:26:05.000 Yeah.
00:26:05.000 What?
00:26:05.000 You wouldn't even bother trying to comprehend it, man.
00:26:07.000 You're a witch.
00:26:08.000 Burn him.
00:26:09.000 What?
00:26:09.000 Keep all the bacteria off of them.
00:26:11.000 How are you going to do that?
00:26:12.000 That's what the bacteria is there to test the weakness.
00:26:14.000 You get cut open like that.
00:26:15.000 It's supposed to attack.
00:26:16.000 That's nature.
00:26:17.000 We're subverting the entire system.
00:26:20.000 Sticking titanium inside of people.
00:26:22.000 That's amazing.
00:26:22.000 It's incredible.
00:26:23.000 I have to take a blood thinner for the rest of my life so a clot doesn't form around it and break off and go into my brain.
00:26:28.000 What is the blood thinner?
00:26:30.000 Huh?
00:26:30.000 What's the blood thinner?
00:26:31.000 How's that work?
00:26:32.000 It's an anticoagulant.
00:26:34.000 Just a pill that you take that, you know, and I have to like...
00:26:37.000 Does it make you like bleed more if you get cut?
00:26:40.000 Oh yeah, absolutely.
00:26:41.000 You won't clot as fast.
00:26:42.000 Wow.
00:26:43.000 Holy shit.
00:26:43.000 I had to give up riding my motorcycle and a few other activities of that nature.
00:26:47.000 Because if you get cut, you just start bleeding out.
00:26:50.000 Yeah.
00:26:50.000 A severe enough cut.
00:26:52.000 Yeah.
00:26:52.000 Wow.
00:26:53.000 Holy shit.
00:26:55.000 Isn't it amazing how the human body can just be fragile at some points and you have to just deal with some issues?
00:27:02.000 But when you do, there's a certain humility and a certain respect for life when you've gotten through some bad shit.
00:27:11.000 Do you feel that?
00:27:13.000 The way I try to explain it to people is like most people Unless you're really, you know, highly intelligent and enlightened, which is not what I'm saying I am when I'm about to say what I'm about to say.
00:27:24.000 I'm just saying some cats just reach death at this point where they're just ready for it and they're ready to cope, you know what I mean?
00:27:32.000 But most of us probably see death, you know, coming at us.
00:27:34.000 And, you know, I look at it like a roller coaster, like, you know, going on this roller coaster, you told us the scariest roller coaster of all time and you're waiting to go on it.
00:27:43.000 And probably the whole time you're waiting to go on that motherfucker, it's probably really scary.
00:27:47.000 Then you get on it and you ride it once and it's probably really scary.
00:27:50.000 But then, you know, if you get off it and get right back in line, you know, the wait in line isn't so scary.
00:27:58.000 And then you get back on the ride again.
00:28:00.000 It's like, that's what I compare death to.
00:28:02.000 It's like, I've gone through all the terrifying parts of death thinking it was upon me.
00:28:07.000 I was like, you know...
00:28:10.000 Woke up in the hospital, like, you did what to me?
00:28:12.000 There's this, and I got this scar down my chest.
00:28:15.000 I'm thinking, you know, it's a wrap.
00:28:17.000 You know what I mean?
00:28:18.000 I vaguely remember, like, people talk about a flash of your life flashing before your eyes, but to me it was more of just the some realization of, wow, man, that whole...
00:28:31.000 28 years was that long.
00:28:34.000 That's kind of what it was for me.
00:28:36.000 It wasn't like all these moments.
00:28:37.000 It was just like the realization that my life was like a second long in the scheme of things.
00:28:45.000 Wow.
00:28:48.000 That's intense.
00:28:49.000 It's about as intense as it gets, right?
00:28:51.000 It's crazy.
00:28:52.000 Open heart surgery is about as intense as it gets.
00:28:54.000 But I figure like this, the next time death's upon me, all the scary parts.
00:28:58.000 I've been on this roller coaster.
00:29:00.000 What comes after that?
00:29:02.000 It really is a trip that it's facing everyone, but no one wants to bring it up.
00:29:08.000 I can't testify either to any lights at the end of any tunnels, but I do also remember hearing, the only way I can describe it is hearing a very familiar voice.
00:29:21.000 I never really knew any of my grandfather's, but it seemed like a grandfather's type voice.
00:29:27.000 You ain't ready yet.
00:29:30.000 It's not your time.
00:29:31.000 But that didn't go along with a light or a vision or a figure.
00:29:35.000 All I remember, other than this realization about how short my life was, And my life could have been 90 years and that realization would have been exactly the same, you know what I mean?
00:29:48.000 But then this kind of blackness and this voice being like, nah, it ain't time or something of that nature.
00:29:55.000 I can't even say it was words as much as just something communicating that feeling to me.
00:30:02.000 It's a real trip to think the idea that there is a time for you and there is a place for you and there's a thing that you should be doing.
00:30:08.000 A lot of people want to think that that's grandiose to think like that.
00:30:11.000 Oh, you're silly.
00:30:13.000 It could have just been the deepest parts of my subconscious fighting for their lives.
00:30:20.000 Trying to convince me there's a reason to be alive.
00:30:23.000 There's that part.
00:30:25.000 I've battled it ever since.
00:30:27.000 Were those spiritual thoughts?
00:30:30.000 Or was it Scientific.
00:30:32.000 Your mind fighting to stay alive.
00:30:34.000 You know what I mean?
00:30:35.000 The ego playing tricks on you.
00:30:38.000 I don't get in no chamber, but I get in my pool often late at night with the lights off and just lay there with it over my ears in silence for a couple...
00:30:47.000 You would dig an isolation tank.
00:30:50.000 You would dig the shit out of it, man.
00:30:52.000 For you it would be beautiful because it's a non-drug drug.
00:30:55.000 You could just go in there and be healthy and it's great for your body.
00:30:58.000 And it's very relaxing.
00:31:00.000 Oh my god, I bet.
00:31:01.000 I bet.
00:31:02.000 Alone in that tank.
00:31:04.000 You might have the trippiest dreams in there ever.
00:31:08.000 Because, well, you know what it is.
00:31:09.000 You know how it works with a little water.
00:31:10.000 You've never done it before, ever?
00:31:12.000 No, I've never actually done it.
00:31:13.000 Man, you should own one.
00:31:14.000 You should be in it daily.
00:31:15.000 It's a beautiful environment.
00:31:17.000 What's one of those things going to set me back, proper?
00:31:18.000 7,000?
00:31:19.000 Yeah?
00:31:20.000 Yeah, for a real good one.
00:31:21.000 And it'll last forever.
00:31:22.000 It's got a big, thick lining, like the kind they use to make koi ponds.
00:31:27.000 It's all heated.
00:31:28.000 The water, it's beautiful.
00:31:29.000 It's super reliable and never leaks.
00:31:31.000 You just turn it on when you want to get in there.
00:31:33.000 Boom.
00:31:34.000 Open the door.
00:31:35.000 Hop in.
00:31:36.000 After you get out, you turn on the pump.
00:31:38.000 It's like the most low-maintenance thing.
00:31:40.000 And man, what an environment that is, bro.
00:31:43.000 How often do you do it?
00:31:44.000 All the time.
00:31:46.000 Every day?
00:31:47.000 As much as I can.
00:31:48.000 Sometimes I don't like to do it every day because then reality gets a little slippery.
00:31:51.000 Is that right?
00:31:52.000 Yeah.
00:31:53.000 I spend too much time alone in the tank.
00:31:55.000 I find myself getting really weird.
00:31:58.000 I find myself going too fringe with my thoughts.
00:32:01.000 I get so far deep that it's very difficult to go to the supermarket.
00:32:05.000 Do you not get pruney when you get in it?
00:32:07.000 You don't come out looking like Mr. Burns or something like that?
00:32:10.000 No, I think maybe the salt water keeps that from happening.
00:32:12.000 Weird.
00:32:13.000 You know, the water is really salty.
00:32:14.000 There's 800 pounds of salt in it.
00:32:16.000 So it's a different thing when you come out.
00:32:18.000 You're not all pruned up.
00:32:20.000 I don't know.
00:32:20.000 That'd be funny if you were.
00:32:21.000 Even if you were, you just...
00:32:23.000 That's one thing you failed to always mention, that every time you get out, you just look like a fucking E.T. dying.
00:32:28.000 No.
00:32:30.000 It's one of those things, whenever I get out of there, I'm like, this is amazing that no one knows about this.
00:32:34.000 This should be...
00:32:35.000 They should teach this in school.
00:32:36.000 They should have people in high school getting in isolation tanks and have people talking to them and coaching them through life.
00:32:42.000 You should make one of the Joe Rogan isolation tank.
00:32:46.000 Too much work, man.
00:32:47.000 I got no time for that.
00:32:49.000 7,000 a pot, man.
00:32:50.000 It sounds like a lucrative business.
00:32:52.000 I don't think there's that much profit, to be honest with you.
00:32:54.000 A lot of it is steel components.
00:32:56.000 You have to get it manufactured and built.
00:32:58.000 There's this super fucking jacuzzi system with this incredible filtration system to make sure that no microbes can get in there and fuck with your skin.
00:33:06.000 And then on top of that, you have to make sure the water stays exactly the same temperature.
00:33:09.000 It's a lot of technology into it.
00:33:11.000 You know how you could do it?
00:33:12.000 You have to get it, like, $200 on Amazon, like a portable system that you make out of, like, a box.
00:33:18.000 Oh, dude, you wouldn't want that.
00:33:19.000 What if it fucking broke in your living room and fucked up your whole house?
00:33:22.000 Then I'd be responsible.
00:33:23.000 No, you don't want that, man.
00:33:26.000 George Foreman of isolation tanks.
00:33:28.000 That's the thing about a tank, man.
00:33:29.000 If you're going to get one, it's got to be built correctly.
00:33:32.000 Someone's got to go in there and do it.
00:33:34.000 To have a build-it-yourself one, seems to me too much room for error.
00:33:37.000 But, you know, people would buy it.
00:33:39.000 My pool works pretty good late at night with the lights off, man.
00:33:41.000 You get on a floaty?
00:33:43.000 No, you just...
00:33:44.000 I'm buoyant.
00:33:46.000 Oh, you can float on your back in a pool?
00:33:48.000 Pretty much.
00:33:49.000 Holy shit.
00:33:50.000 That's amazing.
00:33:52.000 That's incredible.
00:33:54.000 I sink like a rock.
00:33:55.000 I can't do that.
00:33:56.000 But if you get in that water tank, the isolation tank, then it's beautiful.
00:34:00.000 Imagine 800 pounds of salt.
00:34:01.000 The other thing is that the temperature is perfect.
00:34:04.000 It's the exact temperature of your skin.
00:34:06.000 So when you're in there, you fail to be able to, after a while, you don't differentiate between the skin and the air.
00:34:11.000 Isn't that also the exact temperature of pee?
00:34:13.000 Yeah, probably.
00:34:14.000 It comes out of your body.
00:34:17.000 Right.
00:34:17.000 It must be.
00:34:18.000 You just need a garbage bag and just piss yourself and sit inside of it.
00:34:21.000 Yeah, I try not to pee in the tank, but, you know, sometimes shit happens.
00:34:24.000 That might get kind of nasty.
00:34:26.000 Yeah, you don't want to smell that while you're in there trying to achieve enlightenment.
00:34:30.000 Smelling your own piss, going, what the fuck is wrong with me?
00:34:33.000 Sitting there pressing on myself in an isolation tank.
00:34:37.000 Have you ever seen somebody that had a pool that was so badass like they had a lazy river around it?
00:34:41.000 Can you imagine how badass would that be if you just had a lazy river around like a huge pool?
00:34:45.000 Yeah, I knew this dude who had this giant pool and he had some crazy fucking slide system built into it like water slides and everything built into the side of his hill.
00:34:55.000 Yeah, but just like a floaty thing where it just goes around and around.
00:34:58.000 So you can just sit in a little raft and just go in circles.
00:35:01.000 Like you're on a Disneyland ride?
00:35:02.000 Yeah, like those pools where they have the little lazy river around the whole entire pool.
00:35:05.000 That would be okay, but I'm telling you, the isolation tank's better.
00:35:08.000 I want to meet somebody with a moat.
00:35:10.000 A moat?
00:35:11.000 That's the next level shit.
00:35:13.000 That's like some Prince of Croatia shit.
00:35:16.000 You live in Glendale with a moat?
00:35:18.000 I know there's no princes in Croatia.
00:35:20.000 Don't get angry at me, Croatian people.
00:35:22.000 I love you guys.
00:35:23.000 Yeah, man.
00:35:25.000 That's the next level shit, right?
00:35:26.000 That's after the next zombie apocalypse.
00:35:29.000 After 2012, people are going to start making moats.
00:35:31.000 Yeah, that's why I'm moving out the city.
00:35:33.000 I'm going to have a moat.
00:35:34.000 What are you going to try to make this compound?
00:35:36.000 What are you thinking?
00:35:37.000 Northern California is a good move.
00:35:38.000 Northern California is not bad.
00:35:39.000 Good climate.
00:35:40.000 Not too hot.
00:35:42.000 You know, not too cold.
00:35:43.000 Too rainy.
00:35:44.000 You get a little weather, which keeps you honest.
00:35:47.000 I think it's San Diego.
00:35:49.000 Little weather's good for people.
00:35:49.000 Little weather's good for people.
00:35:50.000 I think people are delusional in California because they never get hit by weather.
00:35:53.000 They just have no respect for what nature can do to them.
00:35:57.000 Yeah, it never hits here.
00:35:59.000 You know when you get here, you get a little bit of rain.
00:36:00.000 Whip-de-doo.
00:36:01.000 It's like every now and then it rains.
00:36:02.000 People here really have no idea what the fuck weather is like.
00:36:05.000 Yeah, but we get earthquakes.
00:36:08.000 Rarely, man.
00:36:09.000 Rarely.
00:36:10.000 They're coming.
00:36:11.000 Yeah, they're definitely coming.
00:36:12.000 And we're all going to be like, why didn't we move?
00:36:14.000 Just because we ain't paid the tab yet doesn't mean there's not a bill, you know?
00:36:17.000 Indeed.
00:36:19.000 But I think earthquakes, by and large, you know, if you don't get trapped under a giant building that crushes your head, by and large.
00:36:26.000 See, I'm thinking San Diego would be close to the biggest Air Force base ever, you know.
00:36:30.000 That just seems like it would make sense.
00:36:31.000 San Diego?
00:36:32.000 Yeah, be close to the base.
00:36:34.000 You know, we'll be the most protected other than being in Los Angeles where everyone's going to fucking die.
00:36:38.000 Is that what you think?
00:36:39.000 Yeah.
00:36:40.000 Why do you think that earthquakes won't hit, like, air force bases?
00:36:42.000 Protected from what?
00:36:43.000 Earthquakes?
00:36:43.000 No, no, no, no.
00:36:44.000 When panic strikes out, or a zombie apocalypse, or when the Martians come.
00:36:48.000 Zombie apocalypse?
00:36:49.000 People actually talk about this.
00:36:51.000 People are worried about this shit, dude.
00:36:53.000 People are worried about the fall of civilization.
00:36:55.000 I know, that's what I'm saying.
00:36:55.000 Like, Danny Boy listens to, like, that, what radio?
00:36:57.000 Alex Jones?
00:36:58.000 All that stuff.
00:36:59.000 Yeah.
00:37:00.000 He's got that iHeartRadio app and he's always listening to that late night, overnight stuff, all the craziness.
00:37:06.000 He was listening to a show that was actually about zombie apocalypse and zombies and people discussing them.
00:37:12.000 And I was like, this is real people talking about this.
00:37:15.000 That's crazy.
00:37:16.000 It is ridiculous, but could you imagine if it was possible to make a zombie?
00:37:21.000 It could be.
00:37:22.000 It would probably just be a virus of some kind that we're talking about.
00:37:26.000 Well, it sounds stupid, but there's way crazier parasites that exist in the world.
00:37:30.000 You know, every single human being is essentially a symbiote.
00:37:33.000 Every person has a conglomeration of all sorts of different organisms living inside their body.
00:37:38.000 And without those, you can't even be alive.
00:37:41.000 And when you get a parasite, like when a parasite fucks up a body, what that is is a failed symbiote.
00:37:47.000 It's like it's trying to have a symbiotic relationship with the organism, but it's failing, so it's sucking out too many resources, so it becomes a parasite.
00:37:55.000 It's not contributing to the overall system.
00:37:57.000 It is possible that they could come up with something that would hijack your shit so bad that you would be like one of those 28 days later motherfucker.
00:38:04.000 That is so 100% absolutely possible.
00:38:07.000 So we're not speaking of the dead rising.
00:38:09.000 No, no, no.
00:38:09.000 We're talking about like...
00:38:10.000 Look, 28 Days Later is a zombie movie.
00:38:14.000 I didn't listen to the zombie apocalypse show long enough to figure this out.
00:38:16.000 I just was like, these people are actually saying things about zombies right now.
00:38:19.000 Dude, I'm telling you realistic zombie rules.
00:38:22.000 I'm totally geeking out on zombie rules.
00:38:25.000 28 Days Later was not a zombie movie in the same thing.
00:38:28.000 It was a disease that was created.
00:38:31.000 Was it called Rage or something like that?
00:38:33.000 And they gave it to chimps and the chimps got out and fucked up a whole city with it?
00:38:37.000 That's totally possible.
00:38:38.000 It is totally possible.
00:38:40.000 There's a worm that lives inside a grasshopper.
00:38:43.000 It's an aquatic worm, and it grows in its body.
00:38:46.000 And then when it gets to the age where it's about to hatch, it talks the grasshopper into drowning itself.
00:38:52.000 It controls the grasshopper's body, hops the grasshopper over to some water, leaps into it so that it can pop out some aquatic worm.
00:39:00.000 Some aquatic worm?
00:39:01.000 If you Google aquatic worm, grasshopper, parasite.
00:39:06.000 Parasite.
00:39:07.000 Isn't that amazing?
00:39:07.000 Tricks it into drowning itself.
00:39:09.000 That's amazing.
00:39:10.000 And it can pop out of its little body.
00:39:12.000 If that's possible, anything's possible.
00:39:14.000 I know that's a lower organism.
00:39:16.000 They've already extracted it and there's a pill.
00:39:18.000 Yeah, and the guy talking to you is already infected by it.
00:39:21.000 We all might be.
00:39:22.000 That's what I said about clones.
00:39:24.000 I found it on Google.
00:39:25.000 Yeah, you found the grasshopper thing.
00:39:29.000 Brainwashed by parasitic worms.
00:39:30.000 Isn't that amazing, man?
00:39:32.000 Yeah, I have a baby.
00:39:34.000 Where is that?
00:39:35.000 Because I want to go there and just find some drowned...
00:39:38.000 That's like a fun camping trip.
00:39:40.000 Well, they're finding out more and more of these parasitic relationships that worms have to people.
00:39:47.000 Millions of organisms are living on us as we speak.
00:39:49.000 Yeah, there's a lot.
00:39:51.000 Isn't that beard of yours right there?
00:39:52.000 This one or mine?
00:39:53.000 I'm sure.
00:39:55.000 Little bugs that are actually probably helping out keeping it clean and shit.
00:39:58.000 Yeah, exactly, right?
00:40:00.000 Scrubbing bubbles.
00:40:01.000 That's what the whole deal of acidophilus is, right?
00:40:03.000 I won't lie, though, man.
00:40:05.000 In my mind, that brings me straight to bed bugs.
00:40:08.000 That whole outbreak in the East Coast.
00:40:10.000 I was shook.
00:40:10.000 I was not wanting to go to any hotels.
00:40:13.000 I was like, man, I ain't trying to bring bed bugs home.
00:40:15.000 I know.
00:40:16.000 Can you imagine that?
00:40:16.000 They get in your clothes and shit and you're fucked.
00:40:19.000 It's just crazy.
00:40:20.000 They're multiplying your house.
00:40:21.000 Oh, and you've got to get it defumed.
00:40:22.000 That's why it's easy to believe all that, how quickly.
00:40:24.000 You know, it's like people trip on, oh, the nuclear this, nuclear that.
00:40:27.000 No, it's going to be a little germ that gets all of us, man.
00:40:30.000 It could be easily.
00:40:31.000 It could be.
00:40:31.000 There's been threats of it for, you know, who knows how long.
00:40:34.000 I mean, every time.
00:40:35.000 One of the things that hits everybody, like when the swine flu came out, or the bird flu, or anything that comes out, is like, this might be the one we're all scared of.
00:40:42.000 Because we all know that it's possible.
00:40:44.000 The one superbug that comes along.
00:40:46.000 Well, they got us convinced of that, at least, and they use every opportunity they can to try whatever new vaccine they got out on us.
00:40:54.000 Exactly.
00:40:54.000 Like, how are we going to sterilize these folks once and for all?
00:40:59.000 Yeah, what the fuck?
00:41:00.000 The chemtrails aren't working fast enough.
00:41:03.000 Are you a believer in chemtrails?
00:41:05.000 I... It's not past them, right?
00:41:08.000 It's not past.
00:41:08.000 No, that's how I look at it all.
00:41:10.000 I mean, like, I look at it like the cats who, like, you know, if you want to even take the 9-11, there's cats that'll be like, there's no way we did this.
00:41:16.000 I was like, well, there's proof that the very least we knew something was supposed to happen just like that.
00:41:25.000 Hijacked airplanes.
00:41:26.000 There was reports that they were going to try and do this, and nothing was done extra to stop it.
00:41:31.000 That's kind of a passive participation at the very least.
00:41:35.000 So, I don't see past anything.
00:41:38.000 All the horror and all this, I love it.
00:41:40.000 I love reading about it and learning about it and giving it just enough consideration to be like, it could be true.
00:41:47.000 I'm not living by it, but I'm watching to be like, okay, if some crazy scenario breaks out in the world where people just can't breathe anymore, there might be something to these stories.
00:42:00.000 Yeah, you would have to think of why would they be doing it.
00:42:03.000 There's got to be a profit to it.
00:42:05.000 You got to talk somebody into doing it.
00:42:06.000 I think for sure there have been some chemtrail experiments.
00:42:09.000 I don't think that's doubted at all.
00:42:11.000 I think people are well aware there's been some shit, but the real question is like, how much are they doing on a regular basis?
00:42:17.000 I don't think they're spraying cities.
00:42:20.000 I go a lot of places and see them everywhere.
00:42:23.000 Do you think they're spraying people?
00:42:24.000 Do you think they're trying to control the population?
00:42:26.000 When I was young, that was just a jet going by.
00:42:29.000 The smoke didn't stick around all day.
00:42:31.000 One of my favorite videos online for ridiculousness is Prince sitting down with Dick Gregory and he's talking about how...
00:42:39.000 I think it's Dick Gregory.
00:42:40.000 He's talking about how there's chemtrails and they fly over the hood and then all of a sudden everybody starts fighting.
00:42:47.000 And he goes, and I saw these planes fly over and I was thinking, God, why is everybody fighting?
00:42:52.000 You know, like, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:42:54.000 You're in the hood.
00:42:55.000 Like, what do you expect?
00:42:56.000 Do you think the plane's flying overhead?
00:42:58.000 Is there spraying fighting juice down on the people?
00:43:00.000 It's not the poverty.
00:43:01.000 It's not the poverty or the rage or the criminal element that's throughout your community.
00:43:07.000 Or the police.
00:43:08.000 Yeah, or all sorts of corrupt shit that's going on, right?
00:43:11.000 No, it's this plane that's spraying some shit down and all of a sudden everybody's getting upset.
00:43:16.000 That's ridiculous.
00:43:18.000 It's a hilarious video.
00:43:19.000 I think we need to look into those green boxes that you used to have in your backyard that hummed, that were really warm.
00:43:25.000 Because I used to, as a kid, lay on those things for probably years.
00:43:29.000 What are those things?
00:43:30.000 I don't even know what you're talking about.
00:43:31.000 Well, in the Midwest, or I guess in the suburbs, not in Los Angeles, they used to have these green boxes that were like energy plants or something like that.
00:43:39.000 I don't know what they were.
00:43:40.000 And they hummed.
00:43:41.000 And they were super warm.
00:43:43.000 And I remember just sitting out there as a kid for hours on it like I was recharging.
00:43:47.000 And I probably got, I don't know, More data bites or something.
00:43:52.000 I don't know.
00:43:53.000 What is that thing?
00:43:55.000 You've done so many things when you were little that could have made you a moron.
00:43:57.000 I know.
00:43:57.000 What is that thing?
00:43:58.000 I think everyone did that.
00:43:59.000 I don't know what you're talking about, first of all.
00:44:01.000 I'll show you a picture of one.
00:44:03.000 I'm not familiar.
00:44:03.000 Yeah.
00:44:04.000 An energy source.
00:44:05.000 It's like a weird box.
00:44:06.000 He lived in some test community with their own nuclear power plants in their backyards.
00:44:10.000 Yeah, Columbus High is the number one more cancer cluster.
00:44:12.000 A little marble-sized nuclear reactors.
00:44:14.000 It was a test market town, so we had banana frosties before everyone.
00:44:19.000 You were a test market town?
00:44:20.000 Yes, Columbus, Ohio.
00:44:21.000 They would test us out burgers, and I would talk to my cousins that live in a different state, and they're like, we don't have that kind of weird burger at McDonald's.
00:44:29.000 What are you talking about?
00:44:30.000 And I found out that the company's test market at Columbus, Ohio, because that's the most average city in the whole entire world.
00:44:38.000 Country.
00:44:39.000 That makes sense.
00:44:40.000 Columbus is like that.
00:44:41.000 They're like the whitest people on earth.
00:44:42.000 It's kind of almost pretty close to the middle too, isn't it?
00:44:45.000 Columbus?
00:44:46.000 Sure.
00:44:46.000 Did you ever hear about Sisters Chicken?
00:44:49.000 That was Wendy's version of KFC that they were trying out.
00:44:53.000 And it was just three old ladies was the logo.
00:44:55.000 And it was like KFC's Wicked Sisters.
00:44:58.000 And I don't think it worked the last two years or something.
00:45:02.000 Never heard of it.
00:45:03.000 That's a good idea.
00:45:04.000 Yeah.
00:45:05.000 I'll show you the green box though.
00:45:07.000 The green box.
00:45:09.000 The green box that fucked you up.
00:45:10.000 Another thing that happened to him, he was living in an apartment, and there was a duct overhead, like a heating duct, where the hot air would come through.
00:45:17.000 Turns out that wasn't what that was.
00:45:19.000 Somebody had hooked up the wrong thing to the gas furnace, and it was blowing straight carbon dioxide from the gas furnace.
00:45:25.000 No.
00:45:25.000 Yes.
00:45:26.000 Yeah, he lived like that for a year.
00:45:28.000 Okay, here's the...
00:45:28.000 How did you not blow up?
00:45:29.000 He's dead.
00:45:30.000 He's dead on the inside.
00:45:31.000 I died a long time ago.
00:45:33.000 Here's the green box.
00:45:34.000 And it makes him stutter now.
00:45:36.000 Green box.
00:45:38.000 These things.
00:45:39.000 I've seen similar things, but like on the corners of intersections.
00:45:42.000 Yeah, we had one in our backyard, and I would just sit there and get data bytes pumped into me as a child.
00:45:48.000 Well, obviously, that has something to do with electricity.
00:45:51.000 That has something to do with electricity.
00:45:52.000 Yeah, that's not good.
00:45:54.000 But we didn't have the warning labels.
00:45:55.000 Like, this one has a nice warning label.
00:45:56.000 Like, it says something on it.
00:45:58.000 Like, hey, don't even get close to this.
00:46:01.000 Have they ever made a connection, a correlation between living near power, like those big giant towers?
00:46:07.000 You know, those electrical towers?
00:46:09.000 Cancer clusters.
00:46:10.000 Yeah.
00:46:10.000 That's what they, you know, yeah.
00:46:12.000 They have made a correlation.
00:46:13.000 Well, no.
00:46:15.000 It's one of the things where you can find both sides that will have equally compelling arguments that they're right.
00:46:22.000 So that means, no, there has been no definitive.
00:46:26.000 But, I mean, it kind of breaks down to kind of common sense a little bit.
00:46:31.000 If you're camped under these things that are like...
00:46:33.000 Jesus Christ, you're scared of me just thinking about that.
00:46:37.000 With power lines, I mean...
00:46:39.000 There's so much fucking power going through there.
00:46:41.000 Have you noticed, though, most schools or public parks are kind of right under those.
00:46:46.000 Right under those, yeah.
00:46:47.000 That's the only free spot that was available.
00:46:50.000 That's cheap land.
00:46:51.000 Yeah.
00:46:52.000 There it is.
00:46:53.000 That's where we'll put the school.
00:46:55.000 Yeah, man, when you drive by those things and you can hear them, you roll down your window and you hear...
00:46:59.000 How about the heavy-duty ones, you know what I mean?
00:47:01.000 The big iron towers with cables like this.
00:47:05.000 Oh, my God.
00:47:06.000 Dude, I saw a show about that once, man, where the guys are on helicopters, they have to do the maintenance for those lines.
00:47:11.000 Oh, my God.
00:47:12.000 They actually have to make a connection...
00:47:14.000 To the line, like, with the helicopter to ground it before they can start working with their parents.
00:47:19.000 Like, one of the most dangerous jobs you could have.
00:47:22.000 That might have been the show I was watching, like, life's most dangerous jobs.
00:47:25.000 Those dudes are nuts, man.
00:47:27.000 Motherfucker.
00:47:27.000 They're, like, in metal suits.
00:47:29.000 Oh, Jesus.
00:47:30.000 It's nuts, man.
00:47:32.000 Just think of what you must be feeling when you're above one of those things and you know that just touching it, just reaching out and touching it, you just essentially explode.
00:47:41.000 And they're grabbing it.
00:47:42.000 They're doing maintenance on it.
00:47:43.000 They're fixing it.
00:47:45.000 The connectors that keep them together, they're fixing them.
00:47:49.000 You have to trust it.
00:47:51.000 You have to trust in the science.
00:47:52.000 They have another piece of the helicopter that they have to come out and it has to touch the wire while they're working on it.
00:47:58.000 Apparently one of the most common things isn't getting electrocuted.
00:48:03.000 It's that the tail of the helicopter hits the wire and they just go into oblivion.
00:48:09.000 Of course, if they get hit with a gust, it's almost impossible for them to stop.
00:48:12.000 It's apparently one of the craziest, most dangerous jobs.
00:48:16.000 If you had to do that kind of maintenance...
00:48:18.000 I was really high watching that.
00:48:18.000 I was just like, that's crazy, man.
00:48:21.000 I think I was on the back of the tour bus just like 18-hour drive just watching whatever was on, but I stumbled across that.
00:48:27.000 I was like, oh, I'm watching this.
00:48:27.000 Joe, here's the helicopter thing right here, actually.
00:48:30.000 That's you singing.
00:48:31.000 What are you doing?
00:48:33.000 Before I got on the helicopter.
00:48:34.000 Brian, what's wrong with you?
00:48:36.000 That's...
00:48:37.000 Yeah, this might have been the show.
00:48:39.000 Yeah, that's to say, that was me before getting on it.
00:48:41.000 Yeah, watch this, dawg.
00:48:42.000 These guys are nuts, man.
00:48:44.000 They're in like these crazy suits.
00:48:46.000 One guy's gotta touch the wire.
00:48:47.000 Oh my god, this is insane.
00:48:51.000 Oh my god, he has to climb up.
00:48:54.000 He climbs up and he's sitting in a harness on top of the fucking wires.
00:48:59.000 Brian, why'd you mix this together?
00:49:01.000 Brian made this video himself.
00:49:03.000 Yeah, this is an old music video.
00:49:04.000 I had to mix with that stuff in it, though.
00:49:06.000 Oh my God, but look at that guy walking on those wires.
00:49:08.000 That is absolutely horrifying.
00:49:11.000 That's crazy, man.
00:49:12.000 And I got all of Garden Breadsticks right there.
00:49:14.000 Half a million volts?
00:49:14.000 Isn't that what that is?
00:49:15.000 Is that what it is?
00:49:16.000 How much will kill you?
00:49:17.000 How much does it take?
00:49:18.000 A lot less than that.
00:49:19.000 A lot less, yeah.
00:49:20.000 That's like, that would incinerate you, right?
00:49:22.000 Wouldn't you just explode or something?
00:49:23.000 Yeah, but he's grounded somehow.
00:49:25.000 Like, he's, like, grounded.
00:49:26.000 Like, I watched the whole thing high, man.
00:49:28.000 It was amazing.
00:49:29.000 Whew.
00:49:30.000 And they were charged.
00:49:31.000 Those dudes were on some adrenaline junkie shit.
00:49:34.000 Oh, they must be.
00:49:35.000 They're like, this is the greatest job.
00:49:40.000 Well, could you imagine if it was doing something to them?
00:49:42.000 What if it was making them super power and they started winning the Olympics and shit?
00:49:46.000 That's how the whole X-Men thing starts.
00:49:47.000 The whole...
00:49:49.000 It might have been me.
00:49:50.000 Was that really?
00:49:51.000 No, that had to be you, Brian, wasn't it?
00:49:52.000 It was pretty loud.
00:49:53.000 It was so loud.
00:49:55.000 I'll tell you right now.
00:49:57.000 It wasn't me.
00:49:58.000 It's not me.
00:49:59.000 My shit's not even on.
00:50:01.000 Alright, well, I'm just glad I'm not the guy who did it.
00:50:06.000 Yeah.
00:50:06.000 Anyway, where were we?
00:50:10.000 We were talking about how that's where the mutations start.
00:50:14.000 Where the X-Men begin is on them lines right there.
00:50:16.000 One time, when I used to do Fear Factor, I would eat pot candies or something before the show just to kind of keep me in a chill but happy and fun mood all day.
00:50:27.000 Sometimes you're sitting around all day and it's boring.
00:50:29.000 And if you don't got a buzz, it doesn't feel as good.
00:50:32.000 It sounds interesting.
00:50:33.000 But one of the days I showed up, every now and then when something would freak me out, I would show up at work and I'd be a little baked, and they'd tell me what we're going to do.
00:50:39.000 And one of the things they told me is we're going to have these people ride bulls.
00:50:43.000 And I was like, oh, this is a terrible, terrible, terrible idea.
00:50:46.000 Like, when you're high and they're telling you you're going to ride a bull, you're like, oh, no, sir.
00:50:50.000 No, no, I'm not getting on that thing.
00:50:52.000 What is this?
00:50:53.000 We're going to do what?
00:50:54.000 You're going to make people do that?
00:50:55.000 You're going to get them to get on that animal?
00:50:56.000 That's fucking crazy.
00:50:57.000 The only time when we ever did that show where I felt like we were totally rolling the dice, hoping nobody got hurt, that was the only time, was we made them ride bulls.
00:51:05.000 Because, like, you can't protect them from that fucking animal.
00:51:09.000 You can only, you know, you can only say so much.
00:51:12.000 We're going to try.
00:51:13.000 We're going to try to keep it from stomping you.
00:51:14.000 But we can't guarantee you.
00:51:15.000 We'll give you a chest plate and a helmet, but you've got to let it, imagine you're letting the bulls bore you.
00:51:20.000 Signed bands first.
00:51:20.000 Yeah, with a chest plate and a helmet, go, come get me.
00:51:23.000 I've got a chest plate and a helmet on.
00:51:24.000 Oh my God, you'd feel so fragile.
00:51:25.000 Hell yeah.
00:51:27.000 We got lucky with that one.
00:51:28.000 One girl, she was 98 pounds, something, maybe?
00:51:31.000 She was on this bull, and she agreed to do it.
00:51:33.000 I'm like, you're sure?
00:51:34.000 And she goes, yeah, I'm gonna do it.
00:51:35.000 I'm gonna go for it.
00:51:35.000 She got on the fucking bull.
00:51:36.000 She lasted for just a couple of seconds, of course, right?
00:51:39.000 The bull launches her through the air.
00:51:41.000 She goes flying and just barely misses her with a kick.
00:51:45.000 Just barely misses her.
00:51:46.000 And I just would think about, like, what a ridiculous thing.
00:51:49.000 We could have got this little girl kicked in the head for some stupid reality show, you know?
00:51:53.000 And she, like...
00:51:54.000 How much bread was it at the end of the show?
00:51:56.000 50 grand if you want.
00:51:57.000 She falls down.
00:51:58.000 She was okay.
00:51:59.000 Isn't it funny though, dude?
00:51:59.000 Like, not to belittle money, but isn't it funny what people will do for so little money?
00:52:03.000 Well, they do it for fun, too.
00:52:04.000 A lot of them, they do it just, you know, there's people that do it and they think that they're going to be able to eventually get some sort of a career in reality TV. That's even more funny to me.
00:52:11.000 Well, you know, people have done it.
00:52:13.000 Even though it's actually turned into that.
00:52:14.000 I know.
00:52:15.000 It is weird.
00:52:15.000 But you know what I'm saying?
00:52:16.000 Like, as long as they're nice people, I don't give a fuck, you know?
00:52:20.000 You could start weirding out about what people watch and don't watch.
00:52:23.000 And I've gone down that road before.
00:52:25.000 Like, what the fuck is wrong with us?
00:52:26.000 Why are we watching the Kardashians?
00:52:28.000 But, you know, the other part of me is like, who gives a fuck?
00:52:31.000 Well, they're hoping she's going to suck another dick soon.
00:52:33.000 She's done, man.
00:52:35.000 The only way she would suck another dick is she would have to drop drastically in the ratings to make another sex tape.
00:52:40.000 It would be really hard to get her to put one out now.
00:52:42.000 But, you know, it's like a NASCAR race.
00:52:44.000 They're not waiting for the end.
00:52:46.000 They're waiting for the crash.
00:52:47.000 Here's my prediction.
00:52:48.000 The next sex tape won't be her getting fucked.
00:52:50.000 It would be a dude eating her pussy for like a half an hour.
00:52:53.000 That's it.
00:52:54.000 That's a sex tape.
00:52:55.000 And then she releases that one.
00:52:56.000 Whoopsies.
00:52:57.000 That got out.
00:52:58.000 And that would kick her back up to the next level.
00:53:00.000 If she was like crying at a press conference, I can't believe this.
00:53:04.000 This was so personal.
00:53:05.000 I used that image to masturbate to when I'm on the road.
00:53:09.000 My assistant stole it from my laptop.
00:53:14.000 You know?
00:53:16.000 That could be her next level shit.
00:53:18.000 She might have to do that in about two years.
00:53:20.000 Because now people are making...
00:53:21.000 Kardashian jokes are probably the number one joke on Twitter.
00:53:24.000 If you're going to make a joke about the Kardashians...
00:53:27.000 It's so low-hanging fruit.
00:53:29.000 It's so easy.
00:53:30.000 I saw that movie Young Adult last night.
00:53:32.000 The Patton Oswalt.
00:53:34.000 Throughout the whole movie, you know what it's about?
00:53:36.000 Charlize Theron and Patton Oswalt.
00:53:39.000 It's fucking really funny.
00:53:40.000 And really brilliant.
00:53:42.000 Like a brilliant movie.
00:53:44.000 But one of the things is the chick who's the crazy chick, Charlize Theron, all she watches is Kim Kardashian.
00:53:49.000 She just watches it.
00:53:50.000 Every time you're seeing her at home, she's just sitting in front of the TV watching Kim Kardashian and her sister talk with this mindless glaze in her eye.
00:53:58.000 That's hilarious.
00:53:58.000 You're like, holy fuck, that is America, man.
00:54:01.000 Those people are responsible for that fucking signal that they're putting out there, man.
00:54:05.000 If anybody's turning people into zombies...
00:54:08.000 But this whole movie, throughout the whole movie, this crazy bitch, Charlize Theron is obsessed with her high school boyfriend, is just watching the Kardashians on TV. It's a good movie, man.
00:54:18.000 It's a really, like, the ending's kind of weird.
00:54:19.000 Is it, like, in the movie theaters movie?
00:54:21.000 Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:23.000 Yeah, I saw it last night.
00:54:24.000 It's a good movie.
00:54:25.000 It's fucking...
00:54:27.000 Patton Oswalt's a bad motherfucker.
00:54:29.000 He's funny, man.
00:54:30.000 He's gonna do the podcast again soon.
00:54:32.000 Has he even done it?
00:54:33.000 No.
00:54:34.000 Did I say again soon?
00:54:35.000 Yeah.
00:54:36.000 Oops.
00:54:36.000 Do it soon.
00:54:38.000 We need to get him on it.
00:54:39.000 Yeah.
00:54:39.000 Yeah, that movie that he did with, what, Galifianakis and the guy with the glasses, the comedians of comedy.
00:54:47.000 Oh, yeah.
00:54:47.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:48.000 Our buddy filmed that.
00:54:50.000 Yeah.
00:54:51.000 Yeah.
00:54:51.000 That whole thing, man, is hilarious, man.
00:54:54.000 Yeah, those guys are awesome.
00:54:55.000 There's a bunch of real good stand-ups right now.
00:54:58.000 It's a good time for stand-up comedy.
00:55:00.000 They're all starting to break through, too.
00:55:02.000 Like, you know, of course, Zach.
00:55:05.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:55:05.000 There's some Patton Oswalt everywhere lately.
00:55:07.000 Well, Zach Galifianakis is one of those guys that I can't help smile when I'm watching him.
00:55:12.000 He's like one of those guys where I see him doing something stupid in the movie.
00:55:15.000 Even though, what was it?
00:55:16.000 Due date or something like that?
00:55:18.000 Yeah.
00:55:18.000 It wasn't the best movie in the world, but I'm watching him, and he makes me smile.
00:55:23.000 He's just so ridiculous, you know?
00:55:24.000 Brody stole the whole movie.
00:55:26.000 You think so?
00:55:26.000 Yeah.
00:55:28.000 I love the little Brody hiding.
00:55:29.000 Like, out of nowhere, you'll find our friend Brody Stevens.
00:55:32.000 He's friends with Zack, so every time Zack does a movie or does anything, Zack throws him in as, like, these little roles and stuff, and every role, it's almost playing, like, where's Waldo for Brody Stevens?
00:55:43.000 Like, oh, there he is.
00:55:44.000 He's a police guy.
00:55:46.000 Whoops.
00:55:47.000 Why do you have a Google page?
00:55:49.000 I forgot to switch it back to my camera.
00:55:51.000 You start tripping me the fuck out, dude.
00:55:53.000 I'm like, what's your point?
00:55:55.000 This whole thing is starting to trip me out.
00:55:56.000 The cartoon is over here.
00:55:59.000 It's very distracting.
00:56:00.000 There's a TV over here where my face, like, I'll turn and my face will be on it.
00:56:03.000 It'll startle me and then I'll look back and it'll be like some other thing.
00:56:06.000 Some goatsy image.
00:56:08.000 Yeah, this is the next level of ADD type shit for people.
00:56:14.000 Just the conversation alone is too boring, man.
00:56:18.000 They have like 18 screens going, dude.
00:56:20.000 He was showing me earlier, he was just watching random strangers play video games.
00:56:24.000 Yeah, on live.
00:56:25.000 He does that.
00:56:26.000 He'll go and watch video games.
00:56:28.000 He showed me the homepage and I was like, that's the fucking Matrix.
00:56:31.000 Look at it, dude.
00:56:32.000 Yeah, it's like, what game do you want to spy on?
00:56:33.000 Women's Tennis?
00:56:34.000 Look, all those people are in the fucking computer right now, and they're all playing games.
00:56:39.000 Pretty nuts, right?
00:56:40.000 And most of them are trying to kill each other.
00:56:42.000 Exactly.
00:56:42.000 Isn't that nuts?
00:56:43.000 And, you know, this is only step one.
00:56:45.000 What's it going to look like a hundred years from now?
00:56:46.000 Oh, it's going to be Trone Warfare, dude.
00:56:49.000 What was your go-to video game back in the day when you played a lot of games?
00:56:53.000 The last one?
00:56:54.000 I was kind of a SOCOM freak.
00:56:57.000 Because I like seeing the guy, like the character.
00:57:00.000 I don't like where all you see is the hands and the gun.
00:57:02.000 I like seeing the little guy running around.
00:57:05.000 I don't want to feel like I'm actually killing people.
00:57:07.000 I want to know there's a game going on.
00:57:09.000 Have you played Gears of War?
00:57:11.000 That's kind of like that.
00:57:12.000 I think one of the first versions I might have played, when I got married and had a kid, man, it was a wrap.
00:57:18.000 The video games are like...
00:57:20.000 You can't justify video games.
00:57:21.000 It's hard.
00:57:22.000 And the video games to me, I always say, I'm always terrified that I'm going to become addicted to them.
00:57:28.000 I'm terrified.
00:57:29.000 They're too good, man.
00:57:29.000 Video games these days.
00:57:30.000 I think by the time I'm an old man and retire, I could just sit around and it should be crazy by then.
00:57:35.000 It'd be like three-dimensional surround sound.
00:57:37.000 You're going to pierce your own brain.
00:57:39.000 You're going to pierce your own tempo with some things.
00:57:42.000 What was that?
00:57:43.000 What was that crazy Christopher Walken movie with the brain stuff with Natalie Wood?
00:57:49.000 Oh, shit.
00:57:49.000 What was that movie?
00:57:51.000 Yeah.
00:57:52.000 Dream something.
00:57:53.000 Dreamscape.
00:57:54.000 Is that what it was?
00:57:56.000 Dreamscape?
00:57:56.000 Yeah.
00:57:57.000 Wow.
00:57:58.000 Do you know that there's new questions about Natalie Wood and her husband?
00:58:01.000 Yeah, a month or so ago.
00:58:03.000 Yeah, man.
00:58:05.000 Just recently.
00:58:06.000 Robert Wagner whacked her, dude.
00:58:07.000 Robert Wagner whacked her, man.
00:58:09.000 Well, that's what this guy's saying.
00:58:11.000 Yeah, but they saw him on Today Show, I think he was on.
00:58:15.000 He was also selling a book.
00:58:16.000 You know that, right?
00:58:17.000 Yeah, he was selling a book in which he said that Robert Wagner killed her.
00:58:20.000 He said he heard a bunch of fighting, he heard violence, and then he heard silence.
00:58:24.000 Yeah.
00:58:25.000 What's that guy's name again?
00:58:26.000 Do you know the guy?
00:58:27.000 The guy who's writing the book?
00:58:28.000 Robert Wagner.
00:58:29.000 I'm sorry.
00:58:29.000 Robert Wagner.
00:58:30.000 Yeah.
00:58:30.000 Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood.
00:58:32.000 Heart to heart.
00:58:33.000 I got to find you this video.
00:58:34.000 It's going to trip you out.
00:58:35.000 Why?
00:58:36.000 This guy asked this question to the guy that's selling the book.
00:58:40.000 He asked the same question like seven times in a row.
00:58:43.000 And it got to the point where it was like a joke, like a Saturday Night Live skit.
00:58:47.000 He's like, okay, last time, same question.
00:58:50.000 And he kept on doing it.
00:58:51.000 So the guy wouldn't answer?
00:58:53.000 I'll show it to you.
00:58:54.000 I think I might have seen this too.
00:58:56.000 Does he sound like a crazy person?
00:58:58.000 Yes.
00:58:58.000 Oh, okay.
00:58:59.000 I need to hear that.
00:59:00.000 You always need to hear that.
00:59:01.000 Whenever someone's accusing somebody of killing somebody...
00:59:03.000 While he's doing that real quick, in one of your stand-up specials, dude, you talk about that video about the horse that...
00:59:08.000 Yes, Mr. Hands.
00:59:10.000 Did you ever see the documentary they made?
00:59:12.000 Yes, Zoo.
00:59:12.000 I saw that not too long ago.
00:59:15.000 I was like, that's Joe's joke!
00:59:16.000 That's what Joe's joke was about!
00:59:18.000 I had to watch the whole freaking thing.
00:59:20.000 They changed the law because of that dude.
00:59:22.000 It was just crazy, dawg.
00:59:23.000 It was just like...
00:59:25.000 Seeing these people being interviewed and speaking about their little zoophilia or whatever they call it.
00:59:31.000 It was sort of a documentary.
00:59:35.000 It was sort of like a performance documentary where they had actors play roles.
00:59:39.000 Oh, was it?
00:59:40.000 Yeah.
00:59:40.000 Because the guy's dead.
00:59:41.000 He was in through a lot of it.
00:59:43.000 There was a real sneaky way they did that documentary.
00:59:46.000 But what it did was it forced them to change the law there.
00:59:49.000 People were moving there so they could fuck animals legally.
00:59:52.000 That's what these people did.
00:59:53.000 They met online.
00:59:53.000 They met in a chatroom.
00:59:54.000 They said, I like fucking animals.
00:59:55.000 I'm just going to put that out there.
00:59:57.000 And then everybody's like, damn, I like animals fucking me.
00:59:59.000 Let's do this.
01:00:00.000 Let's move in together.
01:00:01.000 And they moved in together.
01:00:02.000 And they got an area where they all lived.
01:00:04.000 And they would go to a farm and film.
01:00:06.000 They had hundreds of hours of guys getting fucked by donkeys and horses.
01:00:10.000 That shit was crazy, man.
01:00:11.000 Insane, man.
01:00:12.000 Here's the video right here.
01:00:13.000 It just lets you know, man, that there's always going to be someone who's taking a beeper.
01:00:19.000 I can't answer that question right now.
01:00:21.000 And why not?
01:00:23.000 You're referring to mistakes you made.
01:00:24.000 Have you changed your story from when you spoke to investigators years ago?
01:00:30.000 I did lie on a report years ago.
01:00:35.000 And what did you lie about then?
01:00:38.000 It was just that I made mistakes by not telling the honest truth in a police report.
01:00:47.000 Well, just be specific.
01:00:48.000 I mean, we've talked about the broad outlines of the story.
01:00:50.000 What is it that you were untruthful about?
01:00:53.000 Just everything that took place that weekend.
01:00:59.000 Was the fight between Natalie Wood and her husband, Robert Wagner, what ultimately led to her death?
01:01:08.000 Yes.
01:01:09.000 How so?
01:01:13.000 If I tell you that, you won't buy my book.
01:01:16.000 Like I said, that's going to be up to the investigators to decide.
01:01:21.000 The point you're making is that it's because of information in the book, information that you're bringing to them, that they would be reopening this investigation.
01:01:29.000 Is it your charge that in fact Robert Wagner...
01:01:34.000 He essentially tried to make this a low-profile investigation, did not do everything he could to try to find her once she went missing after their argument?
01:01:45.000 Yes, it was to be kept a low-profile investigation.
01:01:50.000 So you're saying that Wagner did not do everything he should have done to look for her after she went missing?
01:01:57.000 Exactly.
01:01:58.000 Was he responsible for her death in some way?
01:02:04.000 Well, like I said, I think we all made mistakes that night.
01:02:09.000 Mr. Daven, that wasn't my question.
01:02:11.000 Was he responsible for her death?
01:02:13.000 I'm not asking about your story.
01:02:16.000 Yes, I would say so, yes.
01:02:18.000 How so?
01:02:22.000 I really don't want to get involved in answering that question right now.
01:02:24.000 Well, how can you come on national television, sir, and accuse him of something like that, but not back it up?
01:02:29.000 Well, that's up to the investigators.
01:02:32.000 That's actually not the video I was talking about, but that's still pretty interesting.
01:02:34.000 Well, yeah, he sounds like there's definitely something missing.
01:02:37.000 Something's ticking when it should be talking and talking when it should be ticking, right?
01:02:41.000 He's off.
01:02:41.000 He's trying to sell his book.
01:02:42.000 I mean, I'm not saying...
01:02:43.000 Yeah, that's all he's doing, right?
01:02:45.000 He ain't nothing being speculated about that wasn't speculated about the day she went drowned.
01:02:50.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:02:52.000 Well, didn't William Shatner's wife, like, turn up, drown too?
01:02:55.000 That was in his pool.
01:02:56.000 Oh, shit.
01:02:57.000 Wasn't that in his backyard?
01:02:58.000 Hard to drown somebody in a pool.
01:03:00.000 Yeah, what happened?
01:03:02.000 Nothing to William Shatner.
01:03:03.000 I think he was out of town.
01:03:05.000 That's a good move.
01:03:06.000 So he did it right.
01:03:09.000 We're not insinuating any, or whatever.
01:03:12.000 Yeah, that guy, I'm not buying that.
01:03:13.000 You're a comedian and you have to explain that to people.
01:03:16.000 Yeah, you do.
01:03:17.000 This is a sad world we live in.
01:03:18.000 That's, wow.
01:03:18.000 Remember when you can say retard without any repercussions?
01:03:21.000 You know what's funny is, like, you know Colin Quay?
01:03:22.000 Sure.
01:03:23.000 Like, I think he's a pretty funny dude.
01:03:25.000 Hilarious.
01:03:26.000 Sometimes he says some real outrageous shit, right?
01:03:29.000 And he gets under people's feathers, but, like, he'll say something about, like, when Kim Jong-il died or something, and, like, I love him because he just retweets every stupid, hateful thing that gets sent to him.
01:03:41.000 But it's like these people are really saying, like, how could you say something like that?
01:03:46.000 Don't you realize you're following a comedian?
01:03:48.000 And a real smart-ass, sarcastic one at that?
01:03:54.000 I was like, it just blows my mind how literal people are.
01:03:57.000 Well, one of the things that was catching news was that he was accusing Will Ferrell of stealing the movie Anchorman from him and talking about the really bad, bad drugs that Will was doing.
01:04:08.000 I mean, it's just so...
01:04:09.000 Reads like a goddamn Colin Quinn punchline.
01:04:11.000 The really bad, bad drugs that he was doing.
01:04:14.000 You know, and people bought into it, man.
01:04:15.000 It was becoming news.
01:04:16.000 I don't even get it.
01:04:17.000 You dummies.
01:04:17.000 You silly fucks.
01:04:19.000 We live in a more and more literal world.
01:04:21.000 He goes on marathons to see how quickly how many people can drop him or something.
01:04:25.000 Like, his number will fluctuate.
01:04:27.000 I look at his number as much as his tweets just because it's funny.
01:04:30.000 Like, who did he piss off today?
01:04:32.000 Yeah, Colin Quinn is an underappreciated genius.
01:04:35.000 He's one of the funniest guys I've ever seen.
01:04:37.000 I think it's funny when people listen to comedians and then a comedian actually has to say once in a while, like, yo, these are jokes.
01:04:42.000 We're not serious.
01:04:44.000 Well, Colin's style of smart-ass-y, really smart comedy is so unusual, man.
01:04:49.000 I hardly ever get the sense...
01:04:51.000 It's hard for us to see each other unless we're like...
01:04:53.000 If I just happen to be in a town where someone's doing a set, I'll stop in and watch them do a full set, or if I catch a special...
01:05:00.000 But other than that, you know, I'm in one town, they're in another.
01:05:02.000 It's hard to see him, so I did a tough crowd once, and it was like one of the first times I got to see Colin do like a long set, and he did it in front of all of his fans, you know, because they're all...
01:05:10.000 So he would like warm up the crowd.
01:05:12.000 God damn, he was good.
01:05:13.000 He was really good.
01:05:15.000 Like, it's like when you see him like tight, like...
01:05:17.000 Colin Quinn's a bad motherfucker.
01:05:19.000 He doesn't get nearly enough respect.
01:05:22.000 He's so self-deprecating that people just, for whatever reason, I don't know what it is.
01:05:29.000 He's too smart.
01:05:30.000 It's whatever it is.
01:05:32.000 His frequency, it's too good for some people to figure out.
01:05:36.000 The world's getting a little too dumb is what it is.
01:05:39.000 Is that what it is?
01:05:39.000 Is it really that bad?
01:05:41.000 Isn't there a way to snap us out of this, man?
01:05:43.000 That's another thing about one of the things you did a couple years ago.
01:05:46.000 I don't know if it was the same special, but it was about when all the smart people died.
01:05:50.000 It's like, yo, that day's coming, man.
01:05:52.000 It's possible.
01:05:53.000 It's coming.
01:05:54.000 It is possible.
01:05:55.000 And I thought Mike Judge might have ripped you off a little bit with that Idiocracy movie.
01:06:00.000 Maybe, but I don't think I'm the only one who's ever had that thought.
01:06:03.000 I think other people have been thinking that people are being stupider and stupider.
01:06:06.000 I'm just saying a little bit.
01:06:06.000 I've ripped off a lot of chords from a lot of songs, man.
01:06:09.000 It's not always...
01:06:09.000 Listen, I met Mike Judge.
01:06:11.000 He didn't seem guilty when I met him, so...
01:06:14.000 He probably didn't write it anyway.
01:06:16.000 I love him.
01:06:16.000 I love that movie.
01:06:17.000 I'm just saying, this seems like something...
01:06:18.000 This seems kind of like that premise.
01:06:20.000 Yeah, I should have got that special out earlier.
01:06:22.000 Actually, the special was out before Idiocracy.
01:06:24.000 That's my point.
01:06:25.000 That's what I'm saying.
01:06:26.000 The special was out in 2005. Idiocracy was 2006. But I had been redoing that bit for a couple of years.
01:06:32.000 That bit came from one mushroom trip.
01:06:34.000 One mushroom trip where I just sat and looked at the whole progression of the human race and that it was some sort of a crazy fight between overpopulation of stupid people and like packets of really intelligent people figuring out matter itself to the point of You know, total, complete complexity where they blow up the whole universe and we restart all over again.
01:06:54.000 But that all came from a mushroom trip.
01:06:56.000 Then I started thinking about how ridiculous it was that I put all my faith, my food, the warmth and the cold of my family, all in the hands of things that I totally don't understand.
01:07:06.000 I just hit switches.
01:07:08.000 I haven't researched them.
01:07:09.000 I don't know what the fuck powers them.
01:07:11.000 I have no idea the science behind it.
01:07:13.000 I don't know.
01:07:13.000 I just open the refrigerator, take some milk, pour a glass.
01:07:16.000 I don't know how the fuck this milk has been able to sit in my refrigerator for a week and not turn it into rotten cheese.
01:07:21.000 You know what I mean?
01:07:22.000 But it's been pulverized through some crazy machine that I'll never be able to understand.
01:07:25.000 Gotten to the point where all the bacteria is broken down so you can store it in your refrigerator that you don't understand.
01:07:30.000 Some box that keeps shit cold.
01:07:32.000 And that's the only way we can all live like this.
01:07:34.000 The only way we can all live like this and nobody understands it.
01:07:37.000 And then I just had that...
01:07:38.000 The bit just sort of wrote itself.
01:07:40.000 I tell everybody.
01:07:41.000 Everybody gets on these tangents about nuclear bombs and...
01:07:45.000 And even viruses, which is perfectly logical.
01:07:49.000 But I'm saying all it really would take would be let the lights go out for a week.
01:07:54.000 And let's see where we are as a civilization when everything stops working.
01:08:00.000 Yeah, well, it's not good, man.
01:08:02.000 You know, a person's real, true character comes out in a situation where everything gets tested.
01:08:07.000 And a lot of people never get tested.
01:08:09.000 They just never get tested through their life.
01:08:11.000 They coast through with a boring but easy job, and they go to sleep, and they get up, and they do it all over again, and the shit never hits the fan.
01:08:18.000 And if shit does hit the fan...
01:08:20.000 What happens when you need to know how to shoot a deer?
01:08:22.000 Exactly.
01:08:22.000 You shot the deer.
01:08:23.000 Right.
01:08:24.000 What do you do now?
01:08:25.000 Can you find it now?
01:08:26.000 How far did it run?
01:08:27.000 Can you follow blood trails?
01:08:29.000 And once, okay, wait, you shot it, you found it, it's dead.
01:08:32.000 Okay, even then.
01:08:33.000 Now what?
01:08:33.000 Right, yeah, gut it, quarter it.
01:08:35.000 How do you keep the meat good?
01:08:37.000 Exactly.
01:08:37.000 Yeah, meat's only good for a few hours, man.
01:08:39.000 What are you going to do?
01:08:40.000 Unless you get it cut up, right?
01:08:41.000 Yeah, you got to cut it out, get it in the refrigerator.
01:08:43.000 Cleaned.
01:08:43.000 Yeah.
01:08:44.000 Yeah, it's nuts, man.
01:08:46.000 The process is so simple now.
01:08:47.000 We go to a supermarket.
01:08:48.000 It's like we've accelerated everything to the point where it's ridiculous.
01:08:51.000 You can get meat like that.
01:08:53.000 Who would have ever thought that you could just step out into the street, walk a block, and get a fucking...
01:08:59.000 Fat, thick, juicy ribeye steak.
01:09:02.000 Perfectly cut, like perfectly aged, right ready to go.
01:09:06.000 You do no preparation whatsoever.
01:09:08.000 Just say, I'll take that.
01:09:10.000 Boom.
01:09:10.000 You take it home.
01:09:11.000 There's fire.
01:09:12.000 Boom.
01:09:13.000 And you're cooking it in like seconds.
01:09:14.000 If you're really impatient, there's nuclear technology right there in your kitchen ready to cook your food.
01:09:20.000 Yeah, you can microwave the fuck out of it and just eat it then, right?
01:09:23.000 It's amazing.
01:09:24.000 It's amazing what we've come to in such a short period of human history.
01:09:29.000 It's alien technology, man.
01:09:30.000 Do you think so?
01:09:30.000 Trust me, I've got to live my body, man.
01:09:32.000 I'm part alien now.
01:09:34.000 Do you believe in aliens for reals?
01:09:36.000 Again, one of those things that I put up to, it's like, I can't not believe in aliens.
01:09:42.000 I can't sit here and tell you, I know there's aliens and I've seen them.
01:09:45.000 But it's like, alright, every one of those lights up there is a sun.
01:09:51.000 Odds are there's got to be another branch of intelligence.
01:09:57.000 It just seems ridiculous to think that there wouldn't be.
01:10:00.000 It seems like we've already figured out that things are recreated all over the galaxies, like gas giants, rocky planets, planets in the Goldilocks zone, planets with water, planets without water.
01:10:10.000 We can apparently read their atmosphere somehow or another.
01:10:13.000 They can figure that shit out.
01:10:14.000 I don't know how.
01:10:14.000 But they can figure out what temperature a planet is...
01:10:18.000 Thousands of light years away.
01:10:19.000 It's a strange, strange thing.
01:10:21.000 I don't know how the fuck they do it, but they found a lot of planets like this.
01:10:24.000 A lot.
01:10:25.000 So there's got to be some other shit.
01:10:27.000 There's got to be some other shit.
01:10:28.000 It's 100%.
01:10:29.000 And then you get into the whole interdimensional speaking of what if we're dealing with dimensional aspects.
01:10:38.000 Your brain could blow up.
01:10:39.000 You've got to be hard to think about some of this stuff.
01:10:41.000 You know, it's funny, but all we do by ridiculing any of that shit is we're just trying to control reality.
01:10:49.000 Even the ridiculous part that we understand as is, the ridiculous part of us being a part of a galaxy, and that galaxy is a part of the universe, the universe being one part of one universe, and there's an infinite amount of universes, like just all these nutty, nutty, that we know to be true, like wrapping our heads around infinity and the ideas.
01:11:07.000 We know that to be true.
01:11:09.000 We don't want to go any further than that.
01:11:11.000 You start introducing new shit.
01:11:13.000 You start introducing aliens.
01:11:15.000 I got no room.
01:11:17.000 I got no room for your crazy alien talk.
01:11:19.000 It's almost like the reality that we're absorbing as it is is so baffling and so fucking crazy that we're almost unwilling to look at anything that's more confusing.
01:11:31.000 Not to mention that then the powers that be have also mixed this magical thing called religion into the whole thing.
01:11:39.000 If a ship full of aliens actually came and landed in full view of everybody, that fucks up a lot of people's, like, belief systems.
01:11:46.000 Yeah, it's over.
01:11:47.000 It really does, you know what I mean?
01:11:48.000 It would be interesting, like, who would, like, jockey first to try to, like, get cool with the aliens, like the Catholic Church, and the aliens have made peace, and, you know.
01:11:55.000 You know, next thing you know, it's Jesus was an alien.
01:11:58.000 Yeah, it could be.
01:11:58.000 He was the first and true and only alien, you know what I mean?
01:12:00.000 It becomes this whole war of, like, They drop off a new gospel.
01:12:04.000 Yeah, they're bringing us a new gospel.
01:12:05.000 It's a floating USB card.
01:12:06.000 It says all the other religions are to be wiped out.
01:12:09.000 That would be so easy, man.
01:12:11.000 Could you imagine if you were from another planet and you had some super dope technology and you want to come out and you knew the history of the religions.
01:12:17.000 Okay, what's the number one religion most popular?
01:12:19.000 Is it Christianity, Islam?
01:12:21.000 It's one of those.
01:12:22.000 Okay, well this is what we do.
01:12:23.000 Then we're going to come down with one guy that has both of those religions in his history and he's going to do some fucking magic and he's going to take over the planet.
01:12:30.000 There you go.
01:12:31.000 That's all you'd have to do.
01:12:32.000 Not even magic to them.
01:12:33.000 Not even magic.
01:12:34.000 Levitating, that's natural.
01:12:35.000 They can do that.
01:12:36.000 Can you imagine just landing a helicopter a thousand years ago, just going back and landing a fucking helicopter and seeing people freak out and run for cover?
01:12:44.000 What kind of a world are we going to be living in in just another decade, just another 20 years, just another 50 years?
01:12:51.000 In a thousand years, you could have just broke out a flashlight and got that effect.
01:12:54.000 Yeah, right?
01:12:55.000 Yeah, no shit.
01:12:57.000 The fire's contained.
01:12:59.000 Piss magic.
01:13:00.000 Yeah, everybody had fire.
01:13:02.000 That's what they had for...
01:13:03.000 That was cutting-edge technology right there, man.
01:13:06.000 A fire and a knife.
01:13:07.000 You were good.
01:13:08.000 You were caught up with the Joneses.
01:13:10.000 Right, because electricity is only a couple hundred years old, right?
01:13:13.000 When was electricity?
01:13:15.000 Late 1800s?
01:13:16.000 Yeah, Tesla, right?
01:13:17.000 That was the beginning of the...
01:13:18.000 On a mass level?
01:13:19.000 Maybe not even until the early 1900s.
01:13:21.000 Yeah, wow.
01:13:22.000 That's amazing.
01:13:22.000 They were using fire to keep things lit.
01:13:25.000 Candles and shit.
01:13:25.000 If you wasn't in the city...
01:13:27.000 Kites to charge their phones.
01:13:29.000 That really makes Leonardo da Vinci, some of his shit, even more impressive.
01:13:34.000 That he did that shit by candlelight.
01:13:36.000 Think about the 16th chapel.
01:13:38.000 Think of doing that shit with candles.
01:13:41.000 You know?
01:13:42.000 God damn.
01:13:44.000 Motherfucker had fire.
01:13:45.000 He was lit by fire.
01:13:46.000 And he was still motivated enough to do that.
01:13:49.000 On his back.
01:13:50.000 On his back.
01:13:51.000 However many years.
01:13:52.000 Jesus Christ.
01:13:53.000 How long did that take?
01:13:54.000 I don't know.
01:13:55.000 It had to take a couple years.
01:13:57.000 That's one of the great artworks of humankind.
01:13:59.000 It's not longer.
01:14:00.000 I'm sure I'm underestimating.
01:14:02.000 Can you imagine all the other dudes who were trying to be artists back in the days of Leonardo da Vinci?
01:14:09.000 Guys like...
01:14:10.000 I thought they were pretty badass.
01:14:13.000 I'm working on some pretty cool pieces.
01:14:15.000 I'm pretty proud of it.
01:14:16.000 I think I'm kind of the shit.
01:14:18.000 Oh, yeah?
01:14:19.000 You knew that Leonardo da Vinci dude?
01:14:20.000 Yeah, he's been painting the ceiling for three years on his back.
01:14:24.000 This shit's brilliant.
01:14:25.000 And inventing the helicopter in his spare time.
01:14:28.000 And figuring out how to make a fucking biplane.
01:14:30.000 Yeah.
01:14:32.000 That dude was on speed or something, man.
01:14:35.000 He's insane!
01:14:36.000 He's an amazing dude, man.
01:14:37.000 He's talking about some super dude.
01:14:41.000 What an amazing mind that guy had.
01:14:43.000 I wish there was film of that guy.
01:14:45.000 You know, he's one of those guys you wish, like, man, we really missed out on getting some recordings of that guy talking.
01:14:50.000 Get him a podcast.
01:14:51.000 He must have been a super genius.
01:14:53.000 I mean, he must have been some insane, through-the-roof IQ-type character.
01:14:57.000 It seemed like he would just sketch all these insane machines out and figure things out.
01:15:02.000 And then perfect anatomy.
01:15:04.000 I mean, you know, just what an amazing, amazing mind that guy must have had.
01:15:10.000 Do you ever draw or do any kind of art?
01:15:12.000 I mean, a little bit.
01:15:14.000 I came into music, actually, I was a graffiti writer, like, with a bunch of cats, and some of them started making some music for fun, and I kind of followed suit, and it just became, you know, something that, you know, somebody within that group knew Ice-T, and that's how that whole thing took off.
01:15:31.000 Ice-T signed me, but...
01:15:33.000 I don't make as much art.
01:15:35.000 That must be pretty fucking cool to get signed by Ice-T. Yeah, when you're 17. I was 17. Oh!
01:15:40.000 You must have been like, holy shit, I just got signed by Ice-T. That's amazing.
01:15:45.000 And it was before.
01:15:46.000 It wasn't like about...
01:15:49.000 You know, there were no super duper hundred million records selling people in rap.
01:15:54.000 It was like, you know, the biggest people were like, we're on DMC at that time.
01:15:58.000 Wow.
01:15:59.000 Public Enemy and a few, you know, stuff like that.
01:16:02.000 It was just starting to crack.
01:16:03.000 And then I was just doing it for fun and dude asked me if I wanted to make a record for him and I said, sure, yeah, why not?
01:16:09.000 And I made a record for him and Next thing was House of Pain and whatnot.
01:16:15.000 But to answer the question, I collect a lot of art.
01:16:17.000 I don't really...
01:16:18.000 You do collect art?
01:16:20.000 I'm an avid graffiti-based and street art-based collector of art.
01:16:26.000 Yeah.
01:16:27.000 I love that.
01:16:27.000 There's a website.
01:16:28.000 I think it's ESTY. I think is what it is.
01:16:31.000 Something like that.
01:16:32.000 But it's for artists.
01:16:33.000 And a lot of our listeners who are artists will sell posters on this website.
01:16:38.000 And lately, I've been just buying up so much posters, like original prints, because it's like 1 out of 20. We're only printing out 20 pieces of this.
01:16:48.000 And so for 15 bucks, I'll just, alright, I'll have one of those 15 or one of those 20. And now I'm just out of nowhere started collecting art because of this one website.
01:16:56.000 It's an amazing website.
01:16:57.000 Yes, TY, I believe.
01:16:59.000 It's fun.
01:16:59.000 I started out like, I don't know, 10 years or so, maybe more ago, maybe about 15 years ago, collecting all these toys out of Hong Kong.
01:17:09.000 That these graffiti writers from America were going...
01:17:11.000 All these Asian cats were big fans of the whole graffiti scene.
01:17:15.000 They would hire these cats to make toys for companies like Bounty Hunter and Medicom.
01:17:21.000 So I collected all these toys.
01:17:23.000 And then I ran into a homie that was the editor of an art magazine called Juxtapose.
01:17:29.000 And he was like, yo, this is cool you collect these toys.
01:17:32.000 But he's like, you should be actually collecting paintings and art.
01:17:36.000 And I was like...
01:17:37.000 Okay, and next thing I knew, I was like, you know, I became, I'm like an obsessive, I have like a thousand pairs of sneakers.
01:17:45.000 Holy shit.
01:17:46.000 What's your brand?
01:17:47.000 Most of them aren't even open.
01:17:49.000 Really?
01:17:50.000 Yeah.
01:17:50.000 I got like 200 pairs of sneakers probably that I just rotate.
01:17:53.000 Wow.
01:17:54.000 You know what I mean?
01:17:55.000 That I wear.
01:17:55.000 And then there's probably like six, eight hundred pairs of sneakers like in boxes.
01:17:59.000 Like I had a whole thing at the Grammy Museum.
01:18:00.000 They had a hip hop exhibit with like all my sneakers.
01:18:02.000 Wow.
01:18:03.000 What is it?
01:18:03.000 My top 50 sneakers I sent over there.
01:18:05.000 What is it about sneakers?
01:18:06.000 Well, what I'm explaining is like, well, for a cat like me and rap, like there's a whole like I'm what I call a B-boy.
01:18:13.000 I consider myself a B-boy, which is like, you know, in the truest sense of the word, is a break boy, a cat that break dances.
01:18:20.000 But it became like the title if you're a hip-hop connoisseur.
01:18:28.000 That I consider myself to be.
01:18:30.000 That's how I live, a b-boy.
01:18:32.000 Like a Hesher would be a rock dude, a b-boy is to hip-hop.
01:18:37.000 If it was an SAT question, that's how it would be.
01:18:40.000 Hesher is to rock, as b-boy is to...
01:18:42.000 Third base, they would be b-boys.
01:18:44.000 Sure.
01:18:45.000 Definitely.
01:18:46.000 But collected sneakers is kind of part of that.
01:18:48.000 It's part of the culture.
01:18:50.000 I could be in some dirty clothes if I had a new piece of jewelry and some new sneakers on.
01:18:55.000 You can't tell me nothing.
01:18:58.000 Do you have a favorite brand?
01:18:59.000 Are you like a Puma guy?
01:19:01.000 I'm pretty much a Nike snob.
01:19:04.000 You know, like old school Air Force Ones and Jordans and stuff like that.
01:19:07.000 Did you get the Voltrons?
01:19:08.000 I stopped collecting a couple years ago.
01:19:10.000 I still buy sneakers, but I force myself to wear them all.
01:19:15.000 I used to buy compulsively just to be like, I don't even know if I like those, but put them over there.
01:19:19.000 So do you have a closet that's specially designed for sneakers?
01:19:23.000 A bedroom?
01:19:24.000 No, it's not designed.
01:19:25.000 It just looks like a backroom storage spot of a footlocker.
01:19:29.000 It's kind of crazy.
01:19:30.000 Really?
01:19:30.000 Yeah.
01:19:31.000 It's retarded.
01:19:32.000 You just have boxes all over your house?
01:19:33.000 I won't even show it anymore because it's shameful.
01:19:36.000 Man, that's incredible.
01:19:38.000 It's shameful.
01:19:38.000 The reason I even brought it up though is that I'm compulsive like that.
01:19:43.000 I was doing the sneakers and like I said, I collected these toys and then when I stopped doing both of those, I kind of sank all that energy into collecting paintings.
01:19:51.000 I have paintings now in a couple different houses.
01:19:55.000 I have paintings like, there's too many to even hang on walls.
01:19:58.000 They're like in stacks, just leaning up against walls.
01:20:02.000 Wow.
01:20:03.000 You should give tours, man.
01:20:04.000 I bet you have some amazing shit.
01:20:06.000 Or do a little video blog for your website.
01:20:08.000 There's a lot of cats that are blowing up really big right now that I've had for a long time.
01:20:13.000 Caws and...
01:20:13.000 Shepard Ferry I was collecting before.
01:20:16.000 He was a bit like Banksy.
01:20:19.000 You got some Banksy?
01:20:21.000 Jose Parla.
01:20:24.000 I'm big on a cat named Crayola.
01:20:27.000 Greg Simpkins.
01:20:28.000 It's a big time painting.
01:20:29.000 You know what I mean?
01:20:30.000 It's so awesome.
01:20:31.000 Everything at Futura, all cats like that.
01:20:34.000 But everything's based around graffiti or street art.
01:20:37.000 Like cats that actually started in the streets putting their art up.
01:20:40.000 That's awesome.
01:20:41.000 I went to this dude's house once.
01:20:43.000 He had a house in the Hollywood Hills.
01:20:44.000 And he had a whole wall of his house.
01:20:46.000 He had a crazy house on a glass wall that faced the city.
01:20:49.000 The whole deal.
01:20:50.000 And a whole long wall of his house was a gallery.
01:20:54.000 It was set up for rotating pieces of art.
01:20:57.000 And he would, you know, literally, like, harbor some of the best artists in the world and buy their shit and rotate new stuff from there to his, like, he had warehouses where he would store the pieces that he wasn't showing.
01:21:09.000 I'm getting to the point where I have to find, like, a professional place soon to store a lot of my art.
01:21:14.000 Yeah, this dude had his house set up like a museum.
01:21:16.000 I mean, he's incredibly, incredibly rich.
01:21:19.000 The house I was telling you about up here in the hills, before I had a kid and got married, that's all it was.
01:21:24.000 The downstairs of the house had no furniture.
01:21:26.000 It was just...
01:21:27.000 Paintings all around.
01:21:29.000 Let me ask you something about living in the hills, because I've had friends that were robbed up there.
01:21:33.000 I've had a couple of friends that have encountered...
01:21:35.000 Up here?
01:21:36.000 Up in the Hollywood Hills.
01:21:36.000 That's why you need moats.
01:21:37.000 Oh, that's Hollywood Hills.
01:21:38.000 Oh, you're talking about, yeah, up here.
01:21:40.000 Yeah.
01:21:40.000 But the Hollywood Hills is what I was talking about.
01:21:43.000 I've heard a lot of people getting...
01:21:45.000 Home invasions and shit in the Hollywood Hills.
01:21:47.000 I'm sure, man.
01:21:48.000 You get caught slipping.
01:21:49.000 I mean, I used to live in Mount Olympus, actually, which is right up there in Laurel Canyon.
01:21:53.000 And I lived up there for many years and never had a problem.
01:21:56.000 But I'm that dude that when he's driving home from the store, like, has the gun in his lap.
01:22:01.000 And I make two extra turns.
01:22:04.000 I'm that dude.
01:22:05.000 That's awesome.
01:22:06.000 It's not because I'm on this thing that everybody's out to get me.
01:22:09.000 But it's like, I'm not going to be the guy to get got because I was stupid.
01:22:13.000 Right.
01:22:13.000 And I just have been trained like that, but I owe that to like actually a lot of the like Cypress homies and them cats when we was all coming up together because they kind of came, I came from suburbia, you know what I mean?
01:22:24.000 Not rich suburbia, you know, lower class, lower middle class, but middle class nonetheless.
01:22:28.000 And these cats came from, you know, like I was with Ice and all them.
01:22:31.000 Like I ran with the syndicate for a while, but I never was like dipped into like he was already a grown man into the entertainment business.
01:22:37.000 His big gangster and all that days were right behind him.
01:22:40.000 Cypress guys were fresh off the street.
01:22:42.000 You know what I mean?
01:22:43.000 Like when they first made that first record.
01:22:44.000 So I learned a lot from them about like how to roll like places.
01:22:48.000 And, yo, they were always worried about who was following them when they were leaving.
01:22:51.000 So it kind of, even though it didn't apply to me always, it stuck with me to be that alert about things.
01:22:56.000 And also because I tend to wear a lot of jewelry.
01:22:58.000 I have a really nice car. - It has to suck though, that constant paranoia almost.
01:23:03.000 Like you're at Olive Garden and you think somebody's going to shoot you.
01:23:05.000 Like I said, I'm not like everybody's out to get me, but it's like, let me just be sure of who I am and where I am and what's around me.
01:23:12.000 So I'll make that extra turn.
01:23:14.000 And I've been lucky long enough to think that luck is...
01:23:19.000 I really don't believe in luck.
01:23:21.000 It's just a word that you use because if there was such a thing as luck, you could fuck a pig and actually have a real kid.
01:23:27.000 You know what I mean?
01:23:28.000 That'd be lucky.
01:23:29.000 That would be magic more than luck.
01:23:30.000 Goat magic.
01:23:32.000 It'd be lucky.
01:23:32.000 I don't believe in magic.
01:23:34.000 But luck is magic to a certain degree.
01:23:36.000 That's my point in a weird way.
01:23:37.000 What I'm saying is I've been alert enough that I know that I have actually avoided a few times of actually being...
01:23:45.000 robbed or this or that or the other by just by circumstances and how I reacted to them and how I was alerted to them.
01:23:51.000 There was times when I was in New York at certain clubs where I definitely knew I was being stalked and about to be preyed upon and I would happen to bump into some cats that I knew and I'd be like, I'm already alerted to these dudes and it'd be like, just the fact that now I'm with some peoples I know and then they just the fact that now I'm with some peoples I know and then they know You know what I mean?
01:24:11.000 You're by yourself.
01:24:12.000 You know what I mean?
01:24:13.000 And then you're oblivious.
01:24:15.000 I mean, like, that's the worst thing is being oblivious to what's going on around you.
01:24:19.000 That is a crazy thing.
01:24:20.000 You have to worry about people physically jacking you and taking your shit.
01:24:23.000 Dude, I'm not the only one.
01:24:24.000 Come on, dude.
01:24:24.000 Everybody does.
01:24:25.000 You don't think about it?
01:24:25.000 Of course, everybody does.
01:24:26.000 But it's a thing that we have to worry about.
01:24:28.000 I've made a lot of music and all that, but my profile is nowhere near yours.
01:24:32.000 I've sold a lot of records.
01:24:33.000 I keep a low profile on purpose.
01:24:35.000 I like going to Ralph's.
01:24:36.000 I like it.
01:24:36.000 I like going to the Olive Bar and making my own little bowl of olives.
01:24:40.000 I like that.
01:24:41.000 I enjoy that.
01:24:42.000 I like getting a little box of Cheez-Its and some olives and going home and watching whatever it is.
01:24:48.000 The UFC or a football game or whatever.
01:24:50.000 I like to be able to do that.
01:24:51.000 I like to be able to drive my car and enjoy it.
01:24:53.000 My music is far more famous than I am as a face.
01:24:57.000 You gotta worry.
01:24:58.000 You're the face of a sport to a certain degree.
01:25:01.000 So it's like your profile is way bigger.
01:25:04.000 Most people are decent, nice people.
01:25:06.000 We're not worried about those people.
01:25:08.000 It's true.
01:25:08.000 Those aren't the people we're worried about.
01:25:10.000 You have to wait with a small percentage that are nice.
01:25:12.000 Yeah.
01:25:14.000 You had a public online battle with Eminem, and I know this is old and everything like that, but a lot of us followed it.
01:25:22.000 I didn't find out about it until today.
01:25:24.000 Is that right?
01:25:25.000 Yeah.
01:25:25.000 It was a very, I mean amongst us it was known and our fans it was known, but it was like this thing over Napster.
01:25:31.000 Like I never released a record about it because I wasn't trying to profit off the situation.
01:25:36.000 It was a personal thing between me and him.
01:25:38.000 What'd you guys get mad at each other for?
01:25:40.000 I got a little mad at him because I went to shake his hand somewhere and he kind of, before he was Eminem, who he is now, Elvis, you know, as big as Elvis type character.
01:25:47.000 This was like when he was first coming in and I just went to shake his hand and he kind of, I felt disrespected.
01:25:52.000 Found out later that, you know, he didn't really see it the same way.
01:25:55.000 He didn't realize it was that kind of situation after the fact, like I said, we haven't had a problem for 10 years.
01:26:00.000 Right.
01:26:00.000 So it was just a short little thing of like words, words, words.
01:26:03.000 Yeah.
01:26:03.000 And then it was like, you know.
01:26:05.000 It just became like, alright, well, you don't talk about me, I won't talk about you, and we'll just keep it at that.
01:26:10.000 One of the things I've found, and it's pretty easy to grab upon this, is that whenever you're around anybody who's really creative or really out there, really dynamic in the way they perform, They're also almost always very emotional.
01:26:25.000 And some of them have a good handle on it, like you.
01:26:28.000 You're always a pretty relaxed, mellow, in a certain groove dude.
01:26:34.000 I've been around you a bunch of times.
01:26:36.000 I've never seen you agitated.
01:26:38.000 I've never seen you stressing about anything.
01:26:41.000 You maintain a certain pace.
01:26:43.000 Some people really just can't do that.
01:26:46.000 For me, there's no show.
01:26:49.000 I told you.
01:26:50.000 I said it early in the show.
01:26:51.000 I've been faking it for years, man.
01:26:53.000 I'm just trying to figure out.
01:26:53.000 I'm making music.
01:26:54.000 I don't even know how to make music.
01:26:56.000 All this is luck and icing.
01:26:59.000 As much as I feel like, yo, it's what I'm meant to do.
01:27:01.000 I feel like to a degree it's what it's meant to do.
01:27:04.000 It's a lot of luck, dude.
01:27:05.000 How many guys do you know that you feel personally are as smart as you and as talented as you that for one reason or another without being like they didn't get convicted of rape or nothing stupid like that but just it just something doesn't click like something doesn't happen for them and it's like you I got a bunch of musician friends of mine that are geniuses that I'm just like why why you know what is it about them why why what and that element is whatever that planets lining up that just You're at the right place, right time, and you know how to react.
01:27:35.000 You know what I mean?
01:27:36.000 We all are responsible for our fates.
01:27:38.000 I believe I made a choice somewhere along the line that contributed to what I'm doing.
01:27:42.000 It's not just blind luck.
01:27:44.000 But that's an element in the thing.
