00:00:06.000 Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
00:00:12.000 What's up, gentlemen?
00:00:14.000 What's up?
00:00:14.000 Good to see you.
00:00:15.000 Great to see you guys. 0.99
00:00:16.000 First of all, before we even get started, your fucking new album is fantastic. 0.99
00:00:20.000 Thank you, thank you. 0.99
00:00:20.000 I listened to it at the gym this morning, in fact, right before I got here. 0.99
00:00:23.000 It was fucking good, man. 0.96
00:00:25.000 It's classic Black Keys. 0.99
00:00:27.000 It's so good. 0.99
00:00:28.000 You guys consistently make just fucking banging music. 0.99
00:00:33.000 It's so good. 0.99
00:00:35.000 It's so consistent. 0.99
00:00:36.000 How the fuck are you guys so consistent? 0.99
00:00:39.000 You know, we learned to play together, you know, 23 years ago. 0.99
00:00:45.000 I, like, literally started playing drums with him, because before that I was playing guitar, and I guess we just learned how to play together.
00:00:53.000 We have this kind of dynamic...
00:00:55.000 I think we also have very similar tastes.
00:00:57.000 It's all kind of very, it's very, I believe in fate after meeting, after this existence we have, because if it weren't for us growing up a few houses down from each other, we would have never met and we've become, you know, like literally like brothers.
00:01:12.000 We have this We're like, our first record came out 20 years ago this week, and we've been doing this thing. 0.65
00:01:20.000 And it kind of feels like a dream when I think back about all the shit we've been through.
00:01:26.000 But as far as the consistency, it's like we've always been on the same pace. 0.80
00:01:29.000 We just wanted to.
00:01:31.000 We were like fascinated with albums.
00:01:33.000 We wanted to make records.
00:01:35.000 And we were like, you know, two dorks living around the corner from each other who had these things called four tracks, you know, like a little cassette.
00:01:43.000 And you could record four different sounds.
00:01:45.000 I didn't have one.
00:01:46.000 The first time I saw one was at Pat's.
00:01:48.000 Yeah, I had one.
00:01:49.000 It blew my mind, man.
00:01:50.000 It was so cool.
00:01:51.000 You could record guitar, vocals, drums.
00:01:52.000 What year is this about?
00:01:53.000 97. And then we would fuck around on our four-track, and I would take it over to his house, his parents' house, and we'd set microphones up in the bathroom to get different sounds. 0.61
00:02:05.000 He just sat on the toilet, put the drums in front of him, used the toilet as the seat. 0.97
00:02:10.000 And we would just have fun, and then...
00:02:15.000 It was 2001. It was right around 9-11.
00:02:18.000 I bought this digital 12-track recorder.
00:02:21.000 It was a big deal because it cost like $1,000.
00:02:24.000 I went into debt.
00:02:27.000 I ran into Dan right around then.
00:02:29.000 We were both 21. I told him about it.
00:02:32.000 He's like, you should record my band.
00:02:35.000 He had a bar band.
00:02:36.000 And so I told him to come over, and the other dudes just never showed up.
00:02:41.000 And so I was there with this recorder, and he's like, you should just play the drums, which I didn't really play.
00:02:47.000 And so we set up the mics, and he showed me the songs, and we recorded them real quick.
00:02:52.000 And then I spent a couple days mixing it, gave him the CD-R, and he's like, dude, we should start a band.
00:03:00.000 And we had this friend.
00:03:02.000 Our parents had met this guy.
00:03:05.000 Dan's dad's like a folk art dealer, antiques dealer.
00:03:10.000 And he had discovered this artist in Akron named Alfred McMoore, who was schizophrenic and other things.
00:03:17.000 And his dad used to buy him these scrolls of 50-foot long, 5-foot wide paper.
00:03:22.000 And this guy would do these crazy crayon and pencil drawings on them.
00:03:26.000 Dan's father would sell them for a couple hundred bucks and give the money to this dude.
00:03:30.000 And he would keep a scroll or two for himself, you know, here and there.
00:03:33.000 But this guy, my dad then was a newspaper journalist and would write stories about this guy.
00:03:38.000 So this guy, Alfred Monroe, used to call our parents' houses all the time.
00:03:42.000 And we would come home from, like, school and we'd have these messages like, This is Alfred McMore.
00:03:48.000 If you don't bring me some pipe tobacco or some Diet Coke, you're a D-flat. 0.97
00:03:52.000 You're a Black Key. 0.99
00:03:53.000 And we'd have hundreds of these messages sometimes.
00:03:55.000 And we were like, it was like a complete inside joke.
00:03:57.000 So when Dan's like, we should name the band, we should start a band.
00:04:01.000 I was like, we're the Black Keys.
00:04:03.000 It was like within a second, we named the band.
00:04:05.000 We sent this thing off and we got this record deal.
00:04:07.000 And then we got this record deal with a small little label on it.
00:04:12.000 In LA called Alive and they basically said if you send us 12 songs we'll put your record out and we'll send you like 50 copies on vinyl and 200 CDs and they also sent this little paragraph contract which is like the most bulletproof contract we've ever signed.
00:04:27.000 We can't get out of it.
00:04:30.000 But they kept their end of the bargain.
00:04:32.000 We sent them this record that we made.
00:04:34.000 And that was the thing.
00:04:35.000 We spent like February of 2002 in my basement at this house we lived in.
00:04:41.000 I lived in with some friends.
00:04:43.000 It was like a rock.
00:04:44.000 Richmond place.
00:04:45.000 Richmond place. 0.99
00:04:45.000 Yeah, it's this little really shitty house in the ghetto in Akron. 0.99
00:04:52.000 It was rat-infested, and I lived there with some buddies, and I set up in the basement with this recorder, and Dan would come over every day, and we would record, trying to make this record, trying to figure out what a record was. 0.76
00:05:03.000 We had no idea.
00:05:03.000 I had to wake him up every day.
00:05:05.000 He slept in.
00:05:06.000 Pat sleeps well.
00:05:08.000 I'd always wake up early, so I'd wait till like 10 to come over.
00:05:12.000 There were no cell phones.
00:05:13.000 I had to throw the rocks at his window and get him up every day.
00:05:16.000 Every day.
00:05:17.000 I'd hear his horn honking, yelling.
00:05:20.000 He'd come screaming in.
00:05:22.000 And there was a rat infestation, too.
00:05:25.000 We might have to clean up a rat before we...
00:05:28.000 Dead rat here.
00:05:28.000 Dead rat before we...
00:05:29.000 Damn, that many? 0.99
00:05:30.000 It was nuts, man. 1.00
00:05:31.000 They were in the bottom of the oven.
00:05:34.000 I guess you guys didn't use the oven much.
00:05:37.000 Dude, it was nuts.
00:05:38.000 But we had no idea what we were doing, and we just kind of knew that we...
00:05:43.000 We knew we wanted to learn how to make the records.
00:05:45.000 We just taught ourselves how to do it.
00:05:46.000 Because the record deal we got involved us receiving zero money.
00:05:50.000 So we were responsible for ourselves to make this thing.
00:05:55.000 We didn't know how to mix.
00:05:56.000 We didn't know how to do anything.
00:05:57.000 We just guessed and we sent the thing off and got these records sent back a few weeks later and we were like hooked and we were like At that point, we were like, what do we do now?
00:06:10.000 And the guy at Alive, Patrick, who runs the label, was very helpful and was like, he's French, and I can't really do the accent, but he was like, man, you got to go on the road, man.
00:06:20.000 And he had this mercenary booking agent book a tour for us.
00:06:26.000 And I just found, like, the original kind of route sheet.
00:06:29.000 It was, like, two pages of text.
00:06:31.000 And it just was basically, like, leave Akron, drive to Chicago, guaranteed money, like, $50.
00:06:38.000 Drive to Denver, no guaranteed money, $2 ticket.
00:06:41.000 It was just basically, like, you have to be, like, probably slow to do what we did.
00:06:47.000 And either slow or totally desperate.
00:06:50.000 And we were probably a little both...
00:06:52.000 But we went on this tour, and it was out of a dream.
00:06:57.000 Because by the time we go around, we go up to Vancouver, and we have this crazy adventure.
00:07:03.000 We have no credit card.
00:07:05.000 We just got a cell phone that was too expensive for us to even use.
00:07:10.000 And we were in this 1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager, just driving across the country with just a Ran McNally Atlas trying to figure out how to get to these places.
00:07:25.000 Yeah, in MapQuest directions.
00:07:26.000 I remember those days.
00:07:27.000 MapQuest. 0.92
00:07:28.000 And there's always construction and just totally fucks you up.
00:07:32.000 When we were 22, we were little kids, really, because we were also kind of sheltered, I think, for 22. Yeah, we'd never really been anywhere.
00:07:42.000 I'd been to New York City with my dad at antique shows or something, but...
00:07:47.000 I mean, we saw the world together.
00:07:49.000 Oh my god, dude.
00:07:51.000 If you want to believe in fate, that's a good argument for it.
00:07:54.000 We showed up to this place on the third day.
00:07:57.000 We could drive all the way across the country to Vancouver and we're exhausted.
00:08:02.000 We had to lie across the border.
00:08:04.000 We had to say we were there to go to a recording studio because we couldn't afford a work permit.
00:08:10.000 And we found this hostel for like $10 a night.
00:08:14.000 And we were like, let's stay here.
00:08:17.000 My brother was with us.
00:08:19.000 So we go in, we pay 30 bucks, and the guy's like, you want some weed with that?
00:08:23.000 And these guys bought weed.
00:08:24.000 I don't really smoke weed.
00:08:26.000 Oh my God.
00:08:27.000 I got so high, I got so apparent, I thought we were going to get murdered in there.
00:08:31.000 And there's this guy sitting in this little courtyard, right?
00:08:34.000 When we checked in, he was wearing this tracksuit, this big ball of weed.
00:08:38.000 It was like a ball of hashish.
00:08:40.000 It was like hash.
00:08:41.000 It was like clay, you know what I mean?
00:08:44.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:44.000 It was about this big, about a softball.
00:08:46.000 Just staring at the walls, smoking shit, and like... 0.98
00:08:49.000 That was, like, around 11 a.m. 0.99
00:08:51.000 At, like, 3 a.m., we get back to the thing.
00:08:53.000 The ball's now, like, the size of, like, a marble.
00:08:55.000 And he's just like...
00:08:56.000 And that's when I smoked weed.
00:08:57.000 I was like, that guy down there, like, he's... 0.98
00:08:59.000 He's gonna kill us. 1.00
00:09:00.000 He's gonna fucking come up here. 1.00
00:09:01.000 Have you ever seen the Woody Allen movie Take the Money and Run? 0.99
00:09:04.000 Yes.
00:09:05.000 His apartment, that's the room we stayed in with, like, the water stains and the sink off the wall. 0.99
00:09:09.000 That's what the fucking place looked like. 0.99
00:09:11.000 Oh, man, it's gnarly. 0.99
00:09:12.000 It's so cool to tell that story though.
00:09:14.000 Isn't it now after all the success you guys have had to be able to have a story like that?
00:09:19.000 Dude, that whole tour is just stories like that. 0.92
00:09:21.000 Every night was something ridiculous. 0.87
00:09:23.000 That's rock and roll though, right? 0.68
00:09:24.000 The next night we played this place in Seattle called Chop Suey and it was crazy.
00:09:30.000 A couple hundred people showed up and that was shocking. 1.00
00:09:34.000 What the fuck? 0.99
00:09:35.000 People know who we are in Seattle? 1.00
00:09:36.000 They didn't know who we were even in Akron.
00:09:39.000 How'd they know who you were in Seattle?
00:09:40.000 There was a Seattle weekly write-up.
00:09:43.000 Or a stranger write-up.
00:09:44.000 We got a weekly write-up and it was filled up.
00:09:47.000 We got like 500 bucks and I was freaking out.
00:09:53.000 Because that was enough money to get us home.
00:09:55.000 And I was like, I'm going to sleep in the van tonight to guard the money.
00:10:00.000 You guys go.
00:10:01.000 And they went to a party and I woke up at 2.30 in the morning and it sounded like all these dudes outside the van. 0.99
00:10:08.000 I'm like, what the fuck? 0.99
00:10:09.000 What the fuck's going on? 1.00
00:10:10.000 I look out and this is like 25 people in Santa Claus outfits. 1.00
00:10:15.000 And I'm like, what the fuck is fucking going on? 0.99
00:10:18.000 I was like, what am I going to do? 0.99
00:10:20.000 And I had to pee so bad. 1.00
00:10:22.000 I was like, what the fuck? 0.99
00:10:23.000 I have to pee. 1.00
00:10:24.000 And there's all these fucking Santa Claus. 1.00
00:10:26.000 I was like losing my mind. 0.99
00:10:29.000 And I pee in this Gatorade bottle, but I get pissed all over the van.
00:10:33.000 And I just like chuck it out the door, close the door. 1.00
00:10:36.000 I'm like, what the fuck? 0.99
00:10:37.000 And, like, the whole night I'm just, like, trembling. 1.00
00:10:39.000 Like, what the fuck is going on? 0.99
00:10:42.000 And I wake up the next day and it was, like, a gay bar called, like, The Manhole. 1.00
00:10:45.000 And they were having, like, a Christmas in July party.
00:10:48.000 So I was like, that's what was going on. 1.00
00:10:49.000 I was just like, what the fuck? 0.99
00:10:52.000 Insanity, dude. 0.99
00:10:53.000 But, yeah, I mean...
00:10:55.000 When you think back about it now, it must seem like fate.
00:11:01.000 Just the circumstances you guys meeting, the fact that the rest of the band didn't show up, the fact that you guys lived right down the street from each other, and the way you guys get along together and make music.
00:11:12.000 I mean, it's pretty fucking incredible.
00:11:15.000 Yeah, the older we get, the more I think we appreciate it. 0.82
00:11:19.000 It feels like everything's changed around us.
00:11:25.000 Everything's changed in life in general.
00:11:27.000 But when we get together in the studio, it's the same.
00:11:31.000 Well, it feels the same as a fan.
00:11:33.000 That's what's amazing.
00:11:34.000 You sent me the link to the new album.
00:11:37.000 Does it come out today?
00:11:39.000 When does it come out?
00:11:40.000 It comes out May 13th.
00:11:41.000 What's today?
00:11:42.000 The 9th?
00:11:43.000 Yeah.
00:11:44.000 Yeah.
00:11:45.000 When you sent me the link to it, as soon as it started, I'm like, yeah, Black Keys.
00:11:51.000 Like, right away.
00:11:52.000 Like, your music is so recognizable.
00:11:56.000 My friend Ari turned me on to you guys.
00:11:58.000 I forget what year it was, but he knows I love John Lee Hooker.
00:12:04.000 I love a lot of old blues guys. 0.98
00:12:07.000 And he goes, dude, you're going to fucking love these guys. 0.80
00:12:10.000 And I've just been a gigantic fan ever since. 0.96
00:12:13.000 I wish I could remember the first song I listened to, but I don't.
00:12:16.000 But uh your your music is so consistent and it's not like a lot of the stuff that's out there It's very uniquely your own and I don't know how you guys are doing that.
00:12:25.000 Oh, what is this?
00:12:27.000 2012 Alright.
00:12:31.000 Okay, but I think I'd already heard of you guys before, before Tencent Pistol.
00:12:35.000 That was just someone put it on the jukebox.
00:12:38.000 I was just checking it.
00:12:39.000 Well, that's the cool thing about seeing people discover our band.
00:12:44.000 I always think back to that first record and be like, oh yeah, this would be...
00:12:48.000 If I was a 15-year-old and I discovered our band, knowing that that first record was this homemade thing, you could...
00:12:58.000 You know, I think that we kind of have, our story's kind of like, you know, it's like American Dream band type of situation.
00:13:04.000 Like two dudes who grew up on the same street, who got bullied by the same guy, and traded baseball cards with each other, like, start this band, and now, you know, you can see, like, that first record's like a testament to us learning how to do it, 0.57
00:13:21.000 you know, because it's so raw and lo-fi and fucked up. 0.94
00:13:24.000 Sometimes that's really cool, though. 0.98
00:13:26.000 Yeah.
00:13:26.000 Like, there's this guy who lives in Canada.
00:13:30.000 Goddammit, what is his fucking name? 1.00
00:13:32.000 We've talked about him before. 1.00
00:13:34.000 Yeah.
00:13:35.000 What's that?
00:13:36.000 No, no, no, no, no, no. 0.99
00:13:38.000 He's this really weird guy who wears dresses and shit and sings in his basement. 1.00
00:13:44.000 And he set up he set up a fucking like a like a curtain and put like an old VHS tape and made his own videos and Like he's one of his songs called really big cock And he's either gay or he's bisexual. 0.99
00:14:03.000 He's cross-dresses, but his stuff is really fucking interesting, but it's super low-budget, sounds terrible. 0.98
00:14:14.000 Nothing sounds crisp and clean, but there's some character to that, the fact that the way he does it that way. 0.99
00:14:20.000 God damn it. 0.98
00:14:21.000 It's one name. 1.00
00:14:22.000 It's on the tip of my tongue.
00:14:24.000 I've got it.
00:14:25.000 I think I just got it.
00:14:26.000 You got it?
00:14:26.000 Tonetta?
00:14:27.000 Yes!
00:14:28.000 Tonetta.
00:14:28.000 I've never read it.
00:14:29.000 Don't know.
00:14:30.000 See if you can find Really Big Cock, the video. 0.79
00:14:33.000 Because it's actually good music.
00:14:35.000 And I think the guy was like, I think he worked in a computer store or something like that. 0.99
00:14:41.000 And this was some shit he did on the side. 0.93
00:14:43.000 It was an interview he did where his... 0.99
00:14:46.000 Yeah, this is it.
00:14:47.000 Give me some volume on this.
00:15:44.000 Come on, man.
00:15:45.000 It feels like...
00:15:46.000 Cool, right?
00:15:47.000 It feels like he's got a girl down in a well right next to her.
00:15:50.000 Give me a little more volume.
00:15:52.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:15:52.000 Keep it on the background a little bit.
00:15:53.000 But you know what I'm saying?
00:15:54.000 It's like, I listen to this in the car sometimes.
00:15:57.000 Like, when I'm driving around, it's on one of my playlists.
00:15:59.000 When I'm driving by myself, I like this song.
00:16:02.000 Oh, yeah.
00:16:03.000 You know, but it's like, you look at this, this guy made this for zero money.
00:16:07.000 He has, I mean, I don't know what he's using. 0.98
00:16:10.000 He's like fucking Windows 98. Have you ever heard of the band The Shags? 0.98
00:16:14.000 No.
00:16:15.000 Okay.
00:16:15.000 My uncle Ralph was a musician.
00:16:18.000 He was really avant-garde.
00:16:21.000 Dan, you want some Tyson weed?
00:16:22.000 I'll give it a shot.
00:16:23.000 Yeah, I knew you would.
00:16:24.000 I knew you would.
00:16:27.000 He put my uncle play with Tom Waits for years and He played saxophone.
00:16:32.000 He's into really weird stuff.
00:16:33.000 But when I was a teenager, I went to visit him in San Francisco.
00:16:36.000 And he introduced me to all this weird music for the first time.
00:16:39.000 And he played me this band called The Shags.
00:16:43.000 And they have a record called Philosophy of the World.
00:16:45.000 And it's three sisters.
00:16:47.000 Who absolutely can't play music or write music or sing.
00:16:50.000 And their dad wanted to start a girl band with them.
00:16:53.000 So he paid to record them.
00:16:55.000 And they made this legendary Outsider record.
00:17:00.000 It's like the songs... 0.99
00:17:02.000 Damn. 0.99
00:17:04.000 It's amazing. 0.99
00:17:06.000 I guess Frank Zappa famously said it was his favorite band or something.
00:17:11.000 Let's hear it.
00:17:17.000 They all have these thick New England accents. 1.00
00:17:30.000 Holy fuck. 1.00
00:17:32.000 I mean, it's kind of truly American folk music, really. 0.99
00:17:35.000 It's like, compared to some of the blues stuff that, you know, Dan and I listen to, which is also self-taught, like, some of it kind of insane.
00:17:43.000 Very similar.
00:17:43.000 Yeah, it's very similar.
00:17:45.000 We're reading some weird shit. 0.85
00:17:47.000 There's this guy named Sadell Davis that Dan used to listen to a lot. 0.99
00:17:49.000 He had polio.
00:17:50.000 And he taught himself how to play guitar with a butter knife.
00:17:54.000 His fingers were all curled up, so he'd stick a butter knife and he'd slide it up and down.
00:17:59.000 He had one finger that he could pluck with.
00:18:01.000 Do you have arthritis?
00:18:02.000 Like heavy arthritis or something?
00:18:04.000 I don't know.
00:18:04.000 With polio.
00:18:05.000 Oh, polio.
00:18:06.000 Oh, he had polio and he was trampled in a bar raid in Chicago.
00:18:12.000 Oh, wow.
00:18:12.000 Look at this.
00:18:13.000 This is crazy.
00:18:14.000 Let me hear this.
00:18:16.000 He's amazing.
00:18:17.000 Well, I see.
00:18:19.000 That's what bounced back in my head, see, like this.
00:18:30.000 You know I ain't did no good.
00:18:35.000 Man should get round there at them, boy.
00:18:42.000 It's an old song that I put together back when I was 18 years old.
00:19:13.000 That's wild.
00:19:16.000 It's wild to see him play with that butter knife, too.
00:19:22.000 He's got a record called The Horror of It All.
00:19:25.000 So good.
00:19:27.000 It's like 20 years old, riding around listening to that record. 1.00
00:19:31.000 Damn. 1.00
00:19:33.000 Damn. 1.00
00:19:33.000 I listen to Robert Johnson sometimes. 1.00
00:19:37.000 Every now and then I'll go and try to listen to the original recordings.
00:19:42.000 It's hard because you've got to put yourself in the mindset of people that lived at that time.
00:19:47.000 It's kind of like listening to Lenny Bruce records.
00:19:49.000 If you want to listen to Lenny Bruce, it doesn't make too much sense today.
00:19:54.000 You've got to pretend.
00:19:56.000 You've got to put yourself in the mindset of someone living in 1963. You have to figure out what was this like for them.
00:20:04.000 This is groundbreaking.
00:20:06.000 Yeah, we played a Lenny Bruce.
00:20:07.000 It was like, I think it was like an ACLU benefit celebrating Lenny Bruce like 18 years ago.
00:20:15.000 But they gave us each a box set of his stuff and it was, yeah, it's amazing.
00:20:20.000 But yeah, I don't think it translates super well.
00:20:25.000 No, it doesn't, because the culture is...
00:20:28.000 Everything he's saying is almost like so accepted now.
00:20:31.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:20:31.000 He was like...
00:20:32.000 He was just so far ahead of his time that when he was saying it back then, it was just groundbreaking.
00:20:37.000 But it's almost like...
00:20:39.000 That's the same thing about Robert Johnson's music.
00:20:41.000 You'll listen to the original recordings.
00:20:43.000 I mean, he was so revolutionary.
00:20:45.000 There's people that thought he sold his soul.
00:20:48.000 I mean, that's like the famous myth of Robert Johnson is that he sold his soul to the devil to be able to play like that.
00:20:55.000 It's a good story.
00:20:57.000 Also, talk about fate, though.
00:20:58.000 I mean, he didn't have an official recording session.
00:21:00.000 I mean, it was like a guy in town who brought a field recording setup.
00:21:06.000 I mean, so it's just fate that he walked in the door.
00:21:08.000 No one's got any, like, photos really.
00:21:11.000 There's like four photographs of the guy.
00:21:13.000 Three photos.
00:21:14.000 Is the legend that Robert Lockwood Jr. is his son or grandson?
00:21:18.000 No, I can't remember.
00:21:19.000 Cousin or something.
00:21:20.000 Some relation.
00:21:21.000 Didn't he die?
00:21:21.000 Wasn't he poisoned?
00:21:22.000 That's what they say, yeah.
00:21:26.000 They said he was crawling around on his hands and knees before he died, like a dog.
00:21:30.000 Like a Russian politician?
00:21:31.000 That's what they said, because he's been poisoned. 1.00
00:21:34.000 Fucking insane. 1.00
00:21:35.000 That's a rough way to go. 1.00
00:21:37.000 Oof.
00:21:38.000 But think about if that guy had not been there in the building with the recorder, we never would have heard him.
00:21:42.000 Yeah.
00:21:43.000 Think about how many other people like Robert Johnson were out there just playing.
00:21:46.000 Yeah, that's what I was going to ask.
00:21:47.000 Just killing it in every city they went to.
00:21:49.000 He was dressed to the nines everywhere he went, just dapper as hell.
00:21:53.000 There's a...
00:21:54.000 We made this record that came out last year called Delta Cream.
00:21:57.000 And it's a blues album, and we just...
00:22:03.000 It's all Mississippi Hill Country Blues, which is a style blues that Dan and I have been into.
00:22:10.000 And that's kind of what we first bonded over.
00:22:13.000 There's this guy named R.L. Burnside.
00:22:16.000 And when we first kind of realized that we both liked the same kind of music, it was kind of through this guy.
00:22:24.000 Because I was listening to this band called John Spencer Blues Explosion, and they made a record with this dude R.L. Burnside.
00:22:30.000 Dan was listening to RL as well and all this other stuff that was on this label called Fat Possum that we ended up signing to years later.
00:22:40.000 We basically made a tribute to that music that came out last year.
00:22:43.000 Part of the promo stuff was the only thing we could do during COVID was we drove down to Bentonia, Mississippi and we played a show at the oldest continually operated juke joint called the Blue Front Cafe.
00:22:56.000 Wow.
00:22:57.000 It was amazing.
00:22:58.000 When was it established?
00:23:00.000 Late 40s?
00:23:01.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:23:02.000 Damn! 0.99
00:23:03.000 Yeah, the guy who runs at Jimmy Duck Homes, I did a record on him. 0.99
00:23:07.000 He's a great musician, but his mom and dad opened it.
00:23:10.000 Wow.
00:23:10.000 And it was handed to him.
00:23:11.000 Could you imagine going into a time machine and getting dropped off in 1940 and watching music in that place?
00:23:18.000 I mean, that's sort of what it's like when you walk in.
00:23:20.000 If you go there, you're stepping back in time.
00:23:22.000 It's crazy.
00:23:24.000 That's it.
00:23:26.000 Wow, you guys played there.
00:23:27.000 We showed up at noon, and there were multiple people who had their pants already pissed.
00:23:35.000 Seriously.
00:23:36.000 Just so drunk.
00:23:38.000 Belligerent.
00:23:39.000 And it was funny, because I was like, what?
00:23:40.000 I was like, we don't even play until later.
00:23:42.000 What's going to happen?
00:23:43.000 The people that were that drunk that early, they got so drunk that they got sober again somehow.
00:23:48.000 They drank themselves through it.
00:23:50.000 And then they were the ones that were just completely coherent playing music at midnight.
00:23:55.000 It was amazing.
00:23:56.000 Wow.
00:23:56.000 Yeah.
00:23:57.000 But to think that those types of places were all over Mississippi not too long ago.
00:24:02.000 Now there are very few.
00:24:04.000 I mean, there's like a couple.
00:24:06.000 I mean, it seems like live music is something that people always love, though.
00:24:11.000 So if you establish a culture of live music in an area, I wonder what makes that slip away like that.
00:24:17.000 Music goes out of fashion, you know?
00:24:19.000 How is that possible?
00:24:20.000 It's the thing that...
00:24:22.000 It's the most like a drug of any form of entertainment.
00:24:26.000 Music can put you into a happy mindset.
00:24:28.000 Oh, I don't mean music in general.
00:24:30.000 I just mean that style of music.
00:24:32.000 But I mean even that style.
00:24:33.000 I just...
00:24:34.000 I always get confused when things that are really awesome lose popularity in an area while generally being still appreciated by anybody who hears them everywhere else.
00:24:43.000 Like in the age of the internet.
00:24:45.000 You would think you would start seeing more places. 0.87
00:24:49.000 Because people are like, if you go to see live music, it's fucking cool.
00:24:52.000 And if you've never seen it, and you only get it on video, you're really only getting like 60% of it or 70%.
00:24:59.000 Oh, it's life-changing.
00:25:01.000 Being there, there's an extra element, right?
00:25:03.000 Music doesn't translate through a TV. I mean, I don't think so.
00:25:08.000 It's different.
00:25:09.000 It does work, though.
00:25:10.000 I mean, think of how many people will never see you guys live but still love you.
00:25:13.000 So it does work.
00:25:14.000 The music does go through.
00:25:15.000 But there's something about live that's, like, transformative.
00:25:18.000 It's like a drug.
00:25:20.000 It's like, if a musician is on stage and they're nailing it and the crowd is all in it, like, everybody's, like, synced in together.
00:25:28.000 You know, and it's just, you leave there, you feel better.
00:25:31.000 You literally feel like you just went through something.
00:25:33.000 Like, whew, that was great.
00:25:35.000 Absolutely.
00:25:36.000 Spiritual.
00:25:37.000 Saw Link Ray, felt like that.
00:25:39.000 He walked on stage, he was in his 70s.
00:25:42.000 They had to help him put his guitar on. 1.00
00:25:44.000 Damn. 1.00
00:25:45.000 And then he just ripped the whole fucking place apart, and everybody was going crazy. 1.00
00:25:49.000 Begging for an encore, and he never came back. 0.99
00:25:51.000 It was amazing.
00:25:53.000 And that stuck with me forever.
00:25:54.000 Nothing kind of quite...
00:25:57.000 Can rip your face off than being in the same room with, yeah, like a great band.
00:26:02.000 I was on news radio with Phil Hartman, and when Phil Hartman was, I think he was 19, he worked at the Whiskey as like some sort of like a kid that was like helping them make sure that speakers didn't fall off, like stage hands,
00:26:17.000 some type of deal.
00:26:18.000 And Hendrix was there.
00:26:19.000 So he's standing like this where the speaker is.
00:26:23.000 Holding the speaker so that Hendrix doesn't kick it over.
00:26:27.000 Just gotta make sure because it's kind of flimsy.
00:26:29.000 And Hendrix is on stage wailing just like feet from him.
00:26:33.000 Amazing.
00:26:33.000 And he would talk about that.
00:26:36.000 Phil liked it. 1.00
00:26:37.000 Get high and fucking tell you stories like that. 1.00
00:26:40.000 And he was just so good at them. 1.00
00:26:41.000 He would just drag you into that moment.
00:26:43.000 He was like explaining what it was like.
00:26:45.000 I was 19. And I'm looking up, and Hendrix is right there.
00:26:50.000 And he's Hendrix at his prime.
00:26:52.000 He's like, it was the greatest expression of guitar maybe the world had ever seen.
00:26:56.000 And he's there at this moment, just.
00:26:59.000 And Phil's a kid, just staring up, watching this.
00:27:04.000 Of all the, I rarely watch music on YouTube, but when I do, it's someone like Hendrix, and that stuff always blows my mind.
00:27:14.000 It blows your mind if you live today.
00:27:17.000 Hartman also did a bunch of record covers.
00:27:19.000 Didn't he do, like, Steely Dan Aja or something?
00:27:22.000 Something like that.
00:27:23.000 I have one of his records out there.
00:27:24.000 He did?
00:27:24.000 What do you mean?
00:27:25.000 He was an artist.
00:27:27.000 Oh, I didn't know that.
00:27:28.000 Yeah, he was a graphic artist before he was, like, a sketch comedian.
00:27:32.000 Oh, my God, dude, he's so funny.
00:27:34.000 The skit, the Saturday Night Live skit, the Mr. Belvedere fan club, have you ever seen that?
00:27:41.000 To this day, I referenced that quite a bit.
00:27:44.000 I actually met Colin Hanks by referencing that.
00:27:46.000 Anybody want any coffee?
00:27:47.000 I'll have a little bit. 0.98
00:27:49.000 Yeah, he was a super fucking talented guy. 0.90
00:27:52.000 Did he do that? 0.84
00:27:53.000 Yeah.
00:27:53.000 Wow.
00:27:54.000 That's a big record.
00:27:55.000 Yeah.
00:27:56.000 Wow.
00:27:57.000 That's crazy.
00:27:58.000 I never knew that.
00:27:59.000 No, he was a super talented guy.
00:28:01.000 And he was actually...
00:28:02.000 I have that album.
00:28:05.000 We framed it and put it on the wall.
00:28:07.000 That was another Phil Hartman artwork.
00:28:09.000 But he wanted to do stand-up.
00:28:11.000 He was talking about doing stand-up.
00:28:12.000 So cool.
00:28:14.000 He was warming up the crowd.
00:28:16.000 He would do a little stand-up for the crowd when we were doing the show.
00:28:19.000 But anyway, the point is, just imagine being there live, that young, and seeing Hendrix, and being in a position like, how do you get feet away from him, where you're literally holding onto a speaker?
00:28:32.000 You're just right there!
00:28:33.000 You can touch him!
00:28:35.000 When we were first touring, we got befriended by some music journalists.
00:28:41.000 That's kind of our little network that we would hang out with when we were on tour.
00:28:44.000 It was like hipster writers who liked our band.
00:28:50.000 And this one guy, Jay Babcock, we stayed at his house when we were in L.A. early 2003, and he had a whole box of VHS concerts and stuff, and he busted out this Black Sabbath live in Paris,
00:29:06.000 1970. I think it's the best concert footage I've ever seen.
00:29:12.000 And I've never officially released the whole thing, but it's the best concert I've ever seen.
00:29:17.000 And it's absolutely mind-blowing.
00:29:20.000 There's a couple songs from it on YouTube, but he had the whole concert, and it was like up for French TV. Amazing, but you can see a young Ozzy just like really just with it and just stoic.
00:29:33.000 Yeah, head banging, not moving, just banging his head.
00:29:36.000 The drummer, Bill Ward, is just going off.
00:29:38.000 Bill Ward is insane in this show, and he keeps his extra drumsticks in his belt loop and his jeans.
00:29:45.000 Give me some of those, Jamie. 1.00
00:29:58.000 Fuck! 1.00
00:29:59.000 This is the kind of thing that would just give me a complex watch. 1.00
00:30:03.000 Oh my god. 1.00
00:30:06.000 Damn! 1.00
00:30:10.000 Ozzy's been through the fucking ringer. 1.00
00:30:12.000 Oh yeah. 0.99
00:30:14.000 When you realize what he was like at one point in time, and you see what he's like...
00:30:18.000 Oh, if you fast-forward three years, they play a concert at a Speedway in California, like, 73, and you can see the drugs is already...
00:30:31.000 Did their thing.
00:30:32.000 That dude went hard.
00:30:33.000 Just check it out.
00:30:33.000 Fast forward to the Black Sabbath at the Speedway in 1973. He's wearing this crazy outfit so on speed.
00:30:41.000 It's like, oh yeah, yeah.
00:30:43.000 It's three years later, just gone.
00:30:47.000 But yeah, they made like six insane records in four or five years.
00:30:53.000 Yeah, the lifestyle was just too much.
00:30:54.000 Oh, man.
00:30:55.000 It was too much.
00:30:58.000 Do you think that people really knew the long-term effects of speed back then?
00:31:03.000 It seems like they didn't.
00:31:04.000 I don't know.
00:31:06.000 I don't think so.
00:31:07.000 It wasn't around before that, right?
00:31:09.000 I don't think they cared.
00:31:09.000 Was it Hitler on speed?
00:31:11.000 Yes.
00:31:11.000 You ever see the video?
00:31:12.000 No.
00:31:13.000 I think it was the 1936 Olympics.
00:31:15.000 I forget what year it is, but it's before World War II had officially kicked off.
00:31:18.000 He's got the Nazi outfit on, and he's nodding back and forth, moving his hands.
00:31:24.000 You can barely keep it together.
00:31:25.000 See if you can find it.
00:31:26.000 It's crazy to watch.
00:31:28.000 He looks so cracked out. 1.00
00:31:30.000 And this was the guy that started the fucking war. 1.00
00:31:32.000 This is World War II from this fucking asshole. 1.00
00:31:35.000 Look at him. 1.00
00:31:37.000 Isn't that wild?
00:31:39.000 Look at him tweaking.
00:31:41.000 He's tweaking so hard.
00:31:43.000 He doesn't even need binoculars.
00:31:45.000 Everybody else needs binoculars.
00:31:46.000 I mean, that is crazy.
00:31:48.000 When you look at him compared to everybody around him, That's just wild, man. 1.00
00:31:53.000 So fucked up. 0.99
00:31:54.000 And what's crazy is, like, World War II was almost an amphetamine-driven war from kamikaze pilots. 1.00
00:32:05.000 That was the thing that they had given them, wasn't it?
00:32:07.000 Is that a myth?
00:32:08.000 That's not a myth, is it?
00:32:09.000 Kamikaze pilots and meth?
00:32:11.000 I think it's real, right?
00:32:12.000 Didn't we look that up once? 0.99
00:32:14.000 They'd meth them up and get them to fucking slam their planes into boats. 0.96
00:32:22.000 That was like the early days of speed, though, when those guys were doing it. 0.98
00:32:25.000 I don't know if everybody knew how bad that was going to wreck you.
00:32:29.000 It's responsible for a lot of terrible music.
00:32:32.000 That's for sure.
00:32:33.000 It really is.
00:32:34.000 There it is.
00:32:35.000 For workers, soldiers taking methamphetamine was a patriotic duty that hooked a generation. 1.00
00:32:40.000 So they made the fucking country take meth. 1.00
00:32:44.000 Holy fuck. 1.00
00:32:46.000 Holy fuck. 1.00
00:32:47.000 I did not know that. 1.00
00:32:49.000 That's insane. 0.99
00:32:51.000 This is fucking wild. 1.00
00:32:56.000 They made the whole fucking country do it for their patriotic duty. 1.00
00:33:00.000 Wow. 0.99
00:33:02.000 The result of the state promoting it during the war. 1.00
00:33:05.000 And that is fucking crazy. 0.98
00:33:10.000 Well, they figured out when you're messed up, you're not thinking straight, and this is the best way to control a population. 0.99
00:33:16.000 I never really fucked with that kind of stuff, but one time I was partying in New York, this was probably 10 years ago, and a friend of mine was like, it was like 4 in the morning, and we were on tour, and someone was like, you should have some of this Adderall. 0.53
00:33:32.000 I said, sure. 0.55
00:33:34.000 They put some in my drink.
00:33:35.000 I was up till 5 p.m.
00:33:37.000 the next day watching the news just so focused.
00:33:40.000 I was like, you can get a prescription for that drug?
00:33:47.000 I mean, dude, I'm really sensitive to that stuff.
00:33:50.000 I was like, I felt crazy.
00:33:52.000 I was at LaGuardia nodding off.
00:33:54.000 I looked like junkie.
00:33:55.000 I was like, this is crazy.
00:33:57.000 It took me from being totally at a place where I should have been going to bed to up for a whole nother basically day.
00:34:05.000 How much does it wreck you after it's over though?
00:34:09.000 I mean, I don't know.
00:34:11.000 I think I'm just so sensitive to it that the next day I slept the whole night and I was like, I'll never touch that stuff again.
00:34:17.000 And you were on a low dose?
00:34:18.000 Is it a normal dose?
00:34:20.000 Do you know?
00:34:20.000 I think I took 30 milligrams.
00:34:22.000 What's a normal one?
00:34:23.000 Do you know?
00:34:23.000 I think some people take that every day.
00:34:26.000 Jesus.
00:34:26.000 Oh, yeah.
00:34:27.000 How much of the way you see online fighting and bickering and just the chaos of right versus left is driven by that?
00:34:35.000 I think a lot.
00:34:37.000 I bet a lot.
00:34:38.000 Yeah.
00:34:38.000 I bet there's a lot of people that are medicated out there.
00:34:41.000 I bet we'd all be shocked.
00:34:44.000 You know, that's the whole fighting online.
00:34:48.000 When we put a new song up, I'll look to see comments on YouTube.
00:34:56.000 Of course, I'll shave off the worst 5% and the best 5%.
00:35:01.000 But still, you can't help but be rattled by just... 0.97
00:35:06.000 Just what drives someone to just be a complete dickhead for no reason. 0.98
00:35:11.000 There's plenty of them. 0.99
00:35:12.000 Oh my god.
00:35:13.000 It's like what the internet has become is just like...
00:35:16.000 And like Twitter's the worst.
00:35:17.000 I stopped enjoying it like a decade ago.
00:35:20.000 I accidentally got into like a Twitter spat with Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga's fans.
00:35:25.000 Oh, that's right.
00:35:26.000 I remember that.
00:35:26.000 I was like, this is funny, this is funny.
00:35:29.000 And then I realized, this isn't fun, honestly.
00:35:35.000 Too much negativity.
00:35:38.000 So many people, that's where they dwell most of the time, and it can trap you.
00:35:42.000 And you can think that it's your duty to engage in this, that you're doing activism or something. 0.94
00:35:49.000 Just being shitty to people. 0.95
00:35:51.000 There's so many people just being shitty to people in that form. 0.81
00:35:55.000 In a way that you would never want to be in real life.
00:35:58.000 You'd have to be a terrible person to just say to a person that you don't even know some of the things that people will type out on Twitter.
00:36:05.000 Right?
00:36:07.000 It's also the total opposite.
00:36:09.000 The fake niceness.
00:36:10.000 Saying how great everything is. 1.00
00:36:13.000 Praising everyone for all this ordinary shit. 0.99
00:36:18.000 Do you know what I mean? 0.99
00:36:20.000 Yeah, there's a lot of that, too.
00:36:21.000 There's a lot of, like, weirdness where people will find these little tribes of people that think very similar to them.
00:36:29.000 I mean, we were talking earlier, I got a 14-year-old girl, and I worry so much about her with social media and how just what she thinks of everyday normal life, you know what I mean?
00:36:39.000 Yeah, it's rough on kids.
00:36:41.000 They've shown, you know, Jonathan Haidt has a great book about it called The Coddling of the American Mind.
00:36:47.000 They show the uptick in girls' self-harm, suicide and self-harm that's directly connected to social media, correlated at least, because it's all the same time frame.
00:36:57.000 It's like right around the time the iPhone comes out, right around the time when people had Internet access on their phone.
00:37:03.000 And then they started using apps, whenever that was.
00:37:07.000 You know, what is like online dating life for people either?
00:37:10.000 When you're just swiping right and swiping left to meet people?
00:37:13.000 Tell me that can't get addictive.
00:37:14.000 That must be addictive, right?
00:37:16.000 I don't know. 0.98
00:37:16.000 Yesterday, I had a friend who sent a dick pic to somebody he met on Tinder and then they tried to get 15 grand off him. 0.98
00:37:25.000 That seems like a bargain. 1.00
00:37:27.000 Nothing so stupid. 1.00
00:37:31.000 That's hilarious. 1.00
00:37:31.000 It's like, you know, I wouldn't want to be a kid today. 1.00
00:37:35.000 But I guess everyone's always said that.
00:37:37.000 That's the thing, too.
00:37:38.000 It's like, if you went back to like the 1930s, you're probably like, oh, I wouldn't want to be a kid today with all the cars back when I was a boy.
00:37:45.000 You know, it's been our thought always.
00:37:48.000 We've always looked, you know, at the next generation coming up thinking, oh boy, I wouldn't want to be you today.
00:37:54.000 I had it easier.
00:37:56.000 When we were making this album, it was like the first time I'd really socialized outside my house in a year, because we were pretty Locked down.
00:38:06.000 So it was a lot of fun. 0.90
00:38:08.000 We'd go to dance studio and just shoot the shit and tell stories because we went to the same high school and there are a lot of stories, just insane stories from high school, how fun it was, how crazy. 0.97
00:38:20.000 We were kind of like the last generation or close to it, pre-cell phone, pre-social media. 0.99
00:38:27.000 We used to see the girls at our school The black girls specifically would get into these fights that were just so epic. 1.00
00:38:36.000 That, I mean, it was just, it was rattling.
00:38:39.000 I saw this girl get thrown through the trophy case. 1.00
00:38:42.000 Oh, shit. 1.00
00:38:43.000 And that kind of stuff happened, like, every day. 1.00
00:38:46.000 Jesus.
00:38:46.000 It was just insane.
00:38:48.000 And, like, I think about my stepdaughter who goes to a really fancy private school in Nashville, and, yeah, like, she's never seen a fight. 0.52
00:38:57.000 I say the same thing to my daughter.
00:38:59.000 I'm like, were there any fights today?
00:39:00.000 She's like, what are you talking about?
00:39:02.000 Nobody fights in our school.
00:39:03.000 Isn't that weird, though, that we can look back as long as we survived those experiences?
00:39:07.000 You look back at them like there's something kind of cool about it, like flavors your life.
00:39:12.000 But you don't want your kids to be exposed to that, right?
00:39:16.000 We made a video for our first single off this record called Wild Child, and the whole concept was that we were just going to try to...
00:39:27.000 We work in some things that happened to us at high school, but kind of put it through the concept of high school today, what kids can get into, the trouble that kids can get into.
00:39:37.000 But we were talking about our high school a lot.
00:39:43.000 We had this health teacher who smoked a pipe while we ran the track.
00:39:48.000 He's like the football coach.
00:39:50.000 And the way that he taught sex ed, which is like he didn't go into any detail about anything, but he grabbed a stack of photographs of venereal diseases.
00:40:00.000 And he's like, here we go, venereal.
00:40:02.000 He's like, genital warts. 0.99
00:40:04.000 Oh, hell no! 0.99
00:40:07.000 Oh, hell no!
00:40:08.000 And he's like, look at this!
00:40:09.000 He passed it around.
00:40:11.000 Not even wanted to touch it.
00:40:13.000 It was probably the most effective health class I've, you know, scared us straight, man.
00:40:20.000 It was insane.
00:40:22.000 That sounds like a great strategy.
00:40:25.000 Show people.
00:40:27.000 Can they still do that or no?
00:40:30.000 I don't know.
00:40:31.000 It worked for me.
00:40:32.000 I think you'd probably get in trouble for showing infected generals in class.
00:40:37.000 Especially if it's your infected general.
00:40:41.000 If it's yours, yeah.
00:40:43.000 This is back in 85. That's called crabs, kids.
00:40:46.000 Look how red my balls are. 1.00
00:40:51.000 Yeah, you can't do any of that. 0.97
00:40:53.000 You can't show them pictures of stuff.
00:40:58.000 But it would work, especially for boys.
00:41:01.000 Really, you can't show pictures anymore?
00:41:03.000 I don't think so.
00:41:03.000 I mean, I don't know what you can show.
00:41:04.000 I'm just guessing.
00:41:05.000 But I'm saying, if you did show that, like, if you showed genitals that were infected by venereal diseases, for sure you're getting fired.
00:41:13.000 Really?
00:41:14.000 I don't know.
00:41:15.000 I don't know, man. 1.00
00:41:16.000 I would imagine you're not allowed to show a rotten dick in classes filled with kids. 1.00
00:41:21.000 Maybe if you say, oh hell no, while you pass it around. 1.00
00:41:25.000 Yeah, you just let them know, this is not good.
00:41:27.000 I'm not promoting this. 0.99
00:41:29.000 This is scared straight for penises. 1.00
00:41:32.000 Fuck, man. 1.00
00:41:33.000 We had this, uh... 1.00
00:41:35.000 We had this, uh...
00:41:37.000 Student counselor, high school counselor.
00:41:39.000 His name is Mr. Bennett.
00:41:43.000 He had an assistant, this chick named Abby, sat next to me in math class when we were seniors. 0.94
00:41:51.000 He'd walk in and he was very effeminate, but he had a family.
00:41:57.000 There was something just so weird about this dude.
00:42:01.000 Every day, I would say to Abby, he would come in every day to see her and then leave.
00:42:05.000 I was like, man, there's something.
00:42:07.000 Mr. Bennett, I think he might play with some of the boys in school.
00:42:12.000 And she was like, you're so... 0.97
00:42:13.000 And I was just bullshitting. 0.98
00:42:15.000 But then the next year it came out, he went to prison. 1.00
00:42:19.000 He was literally fucking a student, a boy in our school. 0.99
00:42:23.000 And I've been like... 0.98
00:42:25.000 And ever since, I never ran into Abby ever again, but I just want to let her know that it wasn't a cry for help from me.
00:42:33.000 I just was guessing.
00:42:35.000 We had a soccer coach.
00:42:38.000 He would ask all the boys at the end of the season to donate their shoes so that he could give them to less fortunate people.
00:42:46.000 And he was just jerking off in the shoes, and they found them all in his closet before he went to prison.
00:42:51.000 Jesus Christ! 0.55
00:42:54.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:42:56.000 Holy shit. 1.00
00:42:57.000 Oh my god. 0.99
00:42:58.000 Yeah.
00:43:00.000 That's the problem with any job where you get to work with kids.
00:43:05.000 Like, are you working with kids because you love them and you want to educate them and you feel great satisfaction out of that?
00:43:13.000 That's mostly.
00:43:15.000 Mostly.
00:43:15.000 Mm-hmm.
00:43:16.000 But, are you working with kids because you're sexually attracted to them?
00:43:19.000 That's some.
00:43:20.000 That's what's scary. 1.00
00:43:22.000 What's scary is a tiny percentage of people that are just fucking freaks. 1.00
00:43:26.000 And, you know, they'll bang a kid at school. 1.00
00:43:30.000 Like, that's just a small percentage.
00:43:33.000 It boggles my mind.
00:43:34.000 It's a broken part of human life that exists.
00:43:41.000 There's something about the human brain that does that.
00:43:45.000 It's like the most forbidden thing.
00:43:46.000 There's something evil about it in a way.
00:43:48.000 It's like terrible programming.
00:43:52.000 The fact that a person could ever do that and the fact that it happens often from people who had been molested themselves.
00:44:00.000 That's the scary thing.
00:44:02.000 It's all like a sickness that infects someone.
00:44:09.000 I was just thinking about all this, the wildness of today and all the strange, it seems like more now than ever. 0.98
00:44:23.000 I don't know what the fuck the future holds for the human race. 0.99
00:44:27.000 More now than ever, look at all this crazy shit that's going on with Russia, and I start thinking, I don't know if we're going to make it through this. 1.00
00:44:34.000 Why am I so cocky? 0.99
00:44:36.000 Why am I thinking every day everything's going to be fine?
00:44:38.000 This might not be fine.
00:44:40.000 This is one of those it might not be fine moments.
00:44:43.000 Yeah.
00:44:45.000 Watching all that stuff go down. 0.87
00:44:46.000 And watching just everything in our country, just everything is so fucking polarized and crazy.
00:44:51.000 Like, why are we fighting so much? 0.66
00:44:53.000 Is this necessary?
00:44:56.000 When I think about everything that's been going on the last couple years, for some reason this image keeps coming up.
00:45:02.000 And it takes place when we were on tour.
00:45:06.000 And I find it to be the most comforting thing for some reason, but it was after a show in Houston, there was these two chicks that came to the show and were hanging out, and they wanted to hang out with us after the show. 0.91
00:45:17.000 So we went down to their car, and all they wanted to do with us was a bunch of whippets. 1.00
00:45:22.000 And we went to their car, do you remember this?
00:45:24.000 And their whole backseat of their car was just filled up with whippets. 1.00
00:45:30.000 My brother was there and Dan was there and just sat there and did whippets with them.
00:45:34.000 And I was just like, this is...
00:45:36.000 That's what, like...
00:45:38.000 I miss those days.
00:45:41.000 That was it.
00:45:43.000 That's the whole story, just like...
00:45:44.000 I worked at a Newport creamery and people got fired for doing whippets.
00:45:49.000 It was an ice cream place in Massachusetts.
00:45:51.000 Dudes who worked there would do whippets. 1.00
00:45:53.000 It's so innocent, though.
00:45:54.000 These girls just want... 1.00
00:45:55.000 The bill doubled this month.
00:46:00.000 I've never did whippets.
00:46:01.000 Or if I do, I don't remember.
00:46:02.000 I don't think I got high off of it.
00:46:05.000 I don't think I did it right.
00:46:06.000 Maybe I tried a little bit, but the guys who did it swore by it.
00:46:10.000 They would do it all the time. 0.99
00:46:13.000 Because they had those fucking big-ass jugs, because we would make the cream back there. 0.99
00:46:17.000 So they had these big-ass jugs of the juice, and they would get back there and... 0.99
00:46:23.000 My friend's dad was a dentist, and they used to go, I mean, he's about 10 years older than me, so this was years ago, but they would sneak into his office and just turn the nitrous machines on, sit down in the chairs, and chill out.
00:46:38.000 Wow.
00:46:39.000 That seems dangerous. 0.96
00:46:40.000 Dad seems insane.
00:46:42.000 That's Gen X for it. 1.00
00:46:44.000 We're like the tail end of Gen X, but deep Gen X, there's a whole different level of fucking with shit like that. 1.00
00:46:50.000 You feel like you could find someone dead from that. 1.00
00:46:53.000 We live in a time where you can get ketamine drips.
00:46:57.000 You can get therapeutic ketamine drips.
00:46:59.000 I know a dude who was working with me who got into that and had a complete meltdown.
00:47:05.000 Just basically ran away from me and moved to a different city.
00:47:10.000 I can't speak to it because I haven't done it.
00:47:12.000 But I know friends that have done it for depression.
00:47:15.000 Like my friend Neil did it for depression, Neil Brennan.
00:47:18.000 And he said, dude. 0.99
00:47:19.000 He goes, I go into this fucking office. 0.99
00:47:21.000 He goes, they rigged me up at this thing. 0.99
00:47:22.000 I think, oh, it's probably, you know, just going to be like a weird sort of sedative state. 0.99
00:47:28.000 He goes, no, I'm full on tripping balls. 0.96
00:47:32.000 You're just psychedelic tripping in a doctor's office. 0.99
00:47:37.000 And you can get it all over the place.
00:47:39.000 I asked my friend, I was like, so what happens when you take it?
00:47:41.000 He's like, well, it's weird.
00:47:42.000 I have the same experience every time I've taken it.
00:47:44.000 I was like, oh yeah, what's that?
00:47:45.000 He's like, yeah, the last 24 hours play back in fast speed, but in order.
00:47:54.000 I replayed the last 24 hours. 1.00
00:47:56.000 I was like, fuck that! 1.00
00:47:57.000 Fuck that! 1.00
00:47:58.000 That's a sign that you shouldn't be doing that. 1.00
00:48:01.000 Fuck that! 1.00
00:48:02.000 The fuck is that? 1.00
00:48:03.000 Oh my god. 1.00
00:48:04.000 I don't know, dude. 1.00
00:48:05.000 Dumbest TiVo ever. 0.99
00:48:06.000 Kids get addicted. 1.00
00:48:07.000 I knew a guy who died from it.
00:48:09.000 A guy was using it recreationally.
00:48:10.000 A guy was a kickboxer.
00:48:11.000 Died from Special K? Yeah, he was doing it too much and he died.
00:48:14.000 He was addicted to it.
00:48:15.000 He wanted to do it all the time.
00:48:17.000 I've never even heard of that.
00:48:18.000 Yeah, apparently with some people that get addicted.
00:48:20.000 He went into a treatment place out in Thousand Oaks.
00:48:24.000 There's another friend of mine put him in there, and I remember thinking, man, that's the stuff that John Lilly used to take when he was in the isolation tank.
00:48:30.000 He used to intramuscularly, yeah, he used to shoot himself up with ketamine.
00:48:34.000 He'd get in the tank, bang, hit his thigh with a fucking needle and pump it full of ketamine, you know, open the door, throw the needle out, and just go into another dimension. 0.96
00:48:44.000 Like, in the tank. 0.99
00:48:46.000 Uh-uh.
00:48:47.000 And now you can just get that in a drip.
00:48:49.000 You just go to a place and they're like, what are you, depressed?
00:48:52.000 Dan, have a seat.
00:48:54.000 I'm going to bring you to another dimension.
00:48:56.000 We know three people who we've worked with over the years who all did the same thing.
00:49:02.000 They all took LSD every day for a year.
00:49:04.000 These are independent of each other, these people.
00:49:06.000 And there's three of the smartest people that we know.
00:49:09.000 But I feel like it's almost, you know, if you can get through that.
00:49:15.000 Also, one guy in particular, He would take it before he went to bed.
00:49:19.000 He taught himself how to sleep on acid.
00:49:21.000 Oh my god, that's insane.
00:49:24.000 That's insane.
00:49:26.000 I bet it's like, remember in the old days when people had computers and they would overclock their computers?
00:49:32.000 You remember those days?
00:49:33.000 No, what is that?
00:49:35.000 Jamie, you know what I'm talking about, the early days of gaming computers.
00:49:38.000 Yeah, I'm sure they do.
00:49:39.000 But in the early days, when people started making computers for gaming, you would change the speed of the computer and overclock it past its specifications.
00:49:49.000 And you could do it with some, but some would burn out and break.
00:49:53.000 Some of them, though, would make it better.
00:49:55.000 I think that's the way brains work.
00:49:58.000 I think if some people do acid, it just...
00:50:01.000 Bang! 1.00
00:50:03.000 And then you got broken pistons and fucking smoke coming out of the pipes. 1.00
00:50:07.000 Some people can maintain high RPMs on that shit. 1.00
00:50:11.000 And it actually, like, just like making a computer more functional or have more power, more juice. 0.99
00:50:17.000 I think it does it to people, too.
00:50:19.000 But I just don't think most people can maintain it.
00:50:22.000 Dude, I think the amount of...
00:50:24.000 And once you go there too far, you can't go back.
00:50:26.000 Most people know someone who's gone to the dark lands.
00:50:31.000 I went to school with a girl whose dad had taken too much acid.
00:50:36.000 We used to go to this pool in the summertime and I saw him one time and he was in front of the...
00:50:41.000 It's like a public pool, you know?
00:50:43.000 And in front of the pool he was selling tie-dye T-shirts.
00:50:46.000 Oh my god.
00:50:47.000 He was so fried, man.
00:50:49.000 I think also it fast tracks like schizophrenia if you have it.
00:50:54.000 You can jump to the front of the line there.
00:50:57.000 There's a book about that that Alex Berenson wrote about edible weed.
00:51:02.000 Weed in general, but I think edible weed is the one that really does people in.
00:51:06.000 There's something about it.
00:51:08.000 For some people, for people that have a tendency toward schizophrenics, it seems to indicate that it might trigger that.
00:51:14.000 Oh, I had a girlfriend whose brother smoked some weed laced with something, I guess.
00:51:21.000 I don't know what it was, but...
00:51:23.000 I had to go pick him up from college, and he came back.
00:51:26.000 He thought the TV was talking to him, and it was terrifying.
00:51:32.000 And like three or four days later, it kind of mellowed out, but I was like...
00:51:35.000 Guys have gone.
00:51:38.000 I mean, the guy from Pink Floyd.
00:51:41.000 Sid Barrett?
00:51:42.000 Yeah.
00:51:43.000 Right?
00:51:43.000 That was a LSD thing, too, right?
00:51:47.000 Oh, yeah.
00:51:48.000 I think we grew up around a lot of burnouts, really.
00:51:54.000 Even the Unabomber. 0.82
00:51:55.000 The Unabomber was a part of the Harvard LSD studies.
00:52:01.000 Ted Kaczynski.
00:52:02.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:52:03.000 Fucking insane, man. 1.00
00:52:05.000 Yeah, they ran studies on that dude with acid. 1.00
00:52:07.000 Back in the day when they would just try shit on people. 0.99
00:52:10.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:52:13.000 You guys ever heard of Operation Midnight Climax?
00:52:16.000 Is that the dude that jumped out of his window or something?
00:52:20.000 No, it was the CIA had an LSD program that they would do in brothels. 0.96
00:52:25.000 Oh, yeah.
00:52:27.000 So they would dose up these Johns.
00:52:30.000 They'd come in and talk to the ladies. 1.00
00:52:31.000 And the ladies would give them a drink. 0.95
00:52:32.000 And they would drink it. 0.81
00:52:33.000 And they'd be tripping balls on acid. 1.00
00:52:35.000 And they'd film them and ask them questions and shit. 1.00
00:52:38.000 Just get all kinds of dirt. 1.00
00:52:41.000 Just watch them have sex and freak out. 1.00
00:52:43.000 Oh my god. 0.98
00:52:44.000 You know, not even knowing you're on acid.
00:52:47.000 Oh my god, man.
00:52:48.000 I met this chick who was in the... 0.98
00:52:50.000 She was in the CIA for a while.
00:52:54.000 She was telling me about it.
00:52:56.000 Her job was, she was partnered up with a guy who she ended up, I guess, maybe being romantic with, but they both were agents and they were sent to China to start an art gallery.
00:53:09.000 They were basically hanging out with the artists and the subculture and then selling that work to the successful business guys and politicians.
00:53:24.000 I guess she was able to talk about it because they let her out of the thing.
00:53:29.000 I'd always wanted to be in the CIA. That Windows thing is Operation Midnight Climax.
00:53:35.000 It's the same thing.
00:53:37.000 He jumped out of a window.
00:53:38.000 They scared this guy to the point where he killed himself.
00:53:40.000 Oh, so the guy, one of the Johns jumped out of a window? 0.98
00:53:43.000 And they believe it's the same program.
00:53:45.000 He had young kids.
00:53:46.000 Oh, God.
00:53:48.000 They also ran the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic, where Marilyn Manson, or not Marilyn Manson, Charles Manson, excuse me, was getting all his acid.
00:53:57.000 It was all from the same program.
00:53:59.000 This guy Jolly West in the CIA. Wild shit was going on back then. 0.99
00:54:03.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:54:05.000 What are they up to now?
00:54:06.000 With the CIA? What do you think?
00:54:08.000 I don't know.
00:54:08.000 Where are they at now?
00:54:09.000 They probably run TikTok.
00:54:10.000 Are they giving ketamine trips?
00:54:12.000 Dude, the last time we were on here, like three days later, I ran into, we were playing our first arena show in years at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
00:54:23.000 I reached out to you after this, but I was like sitting backstage and our production manager came back.
00:54:28.000 He said, hey man, Tom DeLonge's here.
00:54:31.000 He wants to meet you.
00:54:32.000 And I was like, Really?
00:54:34.000 I never met Tom.
00:54:36.000 And I was like, sure, yeah.
00:54:38.000 Please send him back.
00:54:39.000 And Tom's cool as hell.
00:54:40.000 I never met him.
00:54:41.000 But man, he freaked the shit out of me.
00:54:43.000 Right before I went on stage in front of like 15,000 people, he was like, yeah, UFO. For an hour, he was like, UFOs are real.
00:54:50.000 They're watching everything we're doing. 1.00
00:54:53.000 There's a lot of shit going on. 1.00
00:54:54.000 Dude, for an hour, I was just like... 1.00
00:54:57.000 What the fuck? 1.00
00:54:59.000 And I got so paranoid. 1.00
00:55:00.000 I went out after the show that night to this bar.
00:55:04.000 And I met these ex-military guys.
00:55:06.000 Like, hey, we own this bar here.
00:55:08.000 You should come hang out.
00:55:10.000 So I followed them to this bar.
00:55:13.000 And they're like, oh yeah, there's some girls that might stop by. 0.98
00:55:18.000 I was like, okay, yeah, they're Russian. 0.56
00:55:20.000 They're strippers. 1.00
00:55:20.000 And I was like, what the fuck? 1.00
00:55:22.000 They don't give visas to Russian strippers. 1.00
00:55:25.000 And then all they did is sat there and asked me how I felt about Vladimir Putin for like an hour.
00:55:31.000 What?
00:55:31.000 Straight up.
00:55:32.000 And I was like, what are you doing to me? 0.99
00:55:34.000 What the fuck? 1.00
00:55:36.000 What the fuck? 1.00
00:55:36.000 Are you asking me? 1.00
00:55:37.000 And I was like, these are all military. 0.97
00:55:39.000 I was like, get me the fuck out of here. 0.98
00:55:42.000 It was insane.
00:55:42.000 So, yeah, I don't know, man.
00:55:44.000 It got me so bugged out.
00:55:46.000 But a part of it probably was the fact that Tom DeLonge was telling me that, like, he told me that, he was like, do you remember the blackout that happened in 2003 in New York?
00:55:57.000 Which I remember because we were traveling in from Europe and we landed in Newark.
00:56:04.000 Like right around then.
00:56:05.000 And our flight got all delayed and we ended up renting a car.
00:56:08.000 But the power outers that happened, they say it happened in Akron, where we're from. 0.92
00:56:13.000 They say like some dumbass, like Homer Simpson type just hit the wrong button. 0.97
00:56:17.000 That's it. 0.99
00:56:18.000 He was like, oh no, it was actually the government shot down a UFO that day with the electromagnetic pulse.
00:56:24.000 Yeah, I had Tom on my podcast and he's a really nice guy.
00:56:27.000 So nice.
00:56:28.000 Really nice guy and very talented musician.
00:56:30.000 But I think he is a believer.
00:56:33.000 And I don't say that in a negative thing.
00:56:35.000 It's a state of mind.
00:56:37.000 A state of mind where you're a believer first.
00:56:40.000 Like, you believe in UFOs.
00:56:41.000 You want to believe in UFOs.
00:56:43.000 And then it takes on a religious quality.
00:56:45.000 And it can happen with almost anything.
00:56:47.000 It can happen even with atheism.
00:56:49.000 It can happen with anything.
00:56:51.000 People just could decide that you don't want to ever question any aspect of it. 0.98
00:56:55.000 You just want to only look at it like UFOs are fucking real, man. 0.94
00:56:59.000 So he showed us some videos, and I was laughing. 0.99
00:57:02.000 I'm like, dude, this is the fakest looking shit I've ever seen in my life. 0.98
00:57:05.000 I think there's no doubt that there's probably... 0.99
00:57:09.000 Honestly, there's no doubt.
00:57:11.000 We might be the only life out there.
00:57:12.000 That's a possibility.
00:57:13.000 Because we don't know for sure there's other life out there.
00:57:16.000 But we might not be.
00:57:17.000 And more likely than not, we're not. 0.94
00:57:20.000 More likely than not, there's a fucking infinite number of civilizations out there. 0.97
00:57:25.000 More likely. 0.99
00:57:25.000 Have they gotten here? 0.99
00:57:27.000 Fuck man, maybe if they were really good, if they knew how to get here, don't you think they'd be able to hide? 1.00
00:57:33.000 I mean, we have fucking radar jammers on front license plates to try to stop cops from, you know, hitting you with a speeding gun. 1.00
00:57:40.000 You don't think they're smart enough to avoid detection? 1.00
00:57:43.000 So maybe they have been here, but there's also a lot of fucking crazy people. 1.00
00:57:48.000 And there's a lot of crazy people that are believers. 0.99
00:57:51.000 They're just fucking stone-cold believers, whether it's in Bigfoot or UFOs. 0.99
00:57:55.000 It's not hard to start believing in a conspiracy. 0.99
00:58:00.000 Not at all.
00:58:00.000 It's easy to believe.
00:58:01.000 It's very easy.
00:58:04.000 Whatever it may be.
00:58:05.000 It's just when you go fully deep into it, it's where it can get a little freaky.
00:58:11.000 I think most likely.
00:58:13.000 When I was a teenager, my friends and I used to go to this little video rental store and they had a section on...
00:58:20.000 It was all conspiracy videos.
00:58:24.000 The guy that owned it must have been into it, but they had like...
00:58:27.000 You know, videos on the Illuminati and we would rent these things.
00:58:31.000 Which place is this?
00:58:34.000 It was over by...
00:58:35.000 It was behind Farrell and Bull.
00:58:37.000 I forget the name of the...
00:58:37.000 Those things were great before the internet.
00:58:40.000 But dude, we got...
00:58:41.000 The video stores?
00:58:42.000 Well, I mean those conspiracy movies. 0.99
00:58:45.000 Before you could research whether or not they were bullshit. 0.98
00:58:47.000 Remember Faces of Death? 0.99
00:58:48.000 Oh yeah.
00:58:48.000 But the thing about those conspiracies is they're like, oh yeah, there's Hillary Clinton's lizard.
00:58:54.000 Yeah, lizard people.
00:58:54.000 You can see George Bush's gills open up and...
00:58:57.000 Whatever.
00:58:58.000 I mean, I will say this, though.
00:58:59.000 We have been in some...
00:59:01.000 We've definitely been in situations where it's like, oh, why are all these people hanging out with each other?
00:59:08.000 It's like every rich and famous person hangs out and on vacation here together.
00:59:12.000 And St. Bart's on New Year's Eve, it's like if you ever wanted to take over the world, you just need to take over St. Bart's on New Year's Eve.
00:59:19.000 You'd have full control of the world.
00:59:21.000 Straight up.
00:59:21.000 Every yacht's there.
00:59:23.000 We played a show there for Larry Gagosian and Roman Abramovich years ago.
00:59:29.000 And it was a really cool, private little beach party.
00:59:33.000 And a bunch of celebrities were there, like Chris Rock and Rick Rubin or whatever.
00:59:39.000 But then at the same time, we're flying in and we land and they're like, oh yeah, they're gonna take a boat from St. Martin's over to St. Bart's.
00:59:47.000 So I get on this boat And I was like, this thing's flying.
00:59:51.000 It's going like 80 miles an hour. 0.99
00:59:53.000 And I was like, what the fuck? 0.99
00:59:54.000 This is Roman Abramovich's yacht? 1.00
00:59:57.000 He's like, no, man.
00:59:58.000 This is Roman's boat that goes inside of his yacht. 1.00
01:00:01.000 And I was like, what the fuck? 0.99
01:00:02.000 He's like, yeah, there's two of these boats. 1.00
01:00:05.000 Go inside his boat.
01:00:06.000 And they had forward-looking infrared.
01:00:09.000 You could see it looked like daylight and it was flying. 0.99
01:00:12.000 Holy shit. 1.00
01:00:13.000 And they're like, what the fuck? 1.00
01:00:14.000 And then I was like, how often does he have to refuel that boat? 0.99
01:00:18.000 And he's like, the pilot, the ship guy, whatever you call it, skipper.
01:00:24.000 He was like, that boat?
01:00:25.000 Every two years you need to take that thing. 1.00
01:00:28.000 And I was like, what the fuck? 0.99
01:00:30.000 Two years? 1.00
01:00:31.000 Is that like a nuclear reactor on that? 1.00
01:00:33.000 It just looked at me like I was an idiot. 1.00
01:00:35.000 I still don't know, but I was like, fuck, man. 1.00
01:00:39.000 It could be a really good Adam Sandler vehicle. 0.99
01:00:42.000 Like Airheads, but instead of taking over a radio station, they take over the world by, I don't know.
01:00:47.000 The band goes and plays St. Barts and then just like...
01:00:50.000 I don't know, it takes over the world.
01:00:52.000 It'd be good to do it at this time when the Russian oligarchs are all getting their yachts stolen from them. 1.00
01:00:57.000 Yeah.
01:00:58.000 You gotta wonder why everybody wants that yacht. 1.00
01:01:00.000 All those rich guys want the fucking yacht. 1.00
01:01:02.000 The big, huge yacht. 1.00
01:01:03.000 David Geffen.
01:01:04.000 Yeah, they have their own little town.
01:01:06.000 What powers these yachts? 0.78
01:01:08.000 It's just the ultimate baller thing, isn't it?
01:01:10.000 For those guys?
01:01:12.000 I think, dude, they're armed, straight up.
01:01:15.000 They're armed?
01:01:16.000 Oh yeah.
01:01:17.000 So those things are like military vehicles. 0.99
01:01:19.000 I heard that Romans had some fucking weapons on it. 1.00
01:01:22.000 They fuck you. 1.00
01:01:23.000 Jesus Christ. 1.00
01:01:25.000 Torpedoes.
01:01:26.000 So they're driving around an armored city and then...
01:01:27.000 Torpedoes.
01:01:28.000 Dude, yes!
01:01:29.000 Dude, surface-to-air missiles?
01:01:31.000 Jesus Christ.
01:01:33.000 Straight up, dude.
01:01:33.000 In their yachts?
01:01:34.000 Fuck yeah, dude. 1.00
01:01:36.000 Wow. 1.00
01:01:37.000 Didn't one of them have a submarine?
01:01:39.000 Of course, dude. 0.99
01:01:40.000 What the fuck's going on? 1.00
01:01:42.000 What? 1.00
01:01:42.000 Look at that thing. 1.00
01:01:44.000 Two helipads, two swimming pools, bulletproof windows.
01:01:47.000 Dude, you can't just tell me these guys all just loved G.I. Joe a lot or something.
01:01:51.000 It's $1.6 billion.
01:01:54.000 It's a mini submarine with, does it say internal boarding?
01:01:59.000 What does that mean?
01:02:02.000 That's crazy. 1.00
01:02:03.000 It's got a fucking submarine. 1.00
01:02:05.000 Holy moly. 1.00
01:02:06.000 Yeah, $1.6 billion.
01:02:08.000 So you see something like that, you can't help but think of some sort of conspiracy, right?
01:02:12.000 Yeah, hey bro, where'd you get the money?
01:02:15.000 Like, you're balling out of control, fella.
01:02:17.000 And so that's the weird thing.
01:02:18.000 It's like they're taking everybody's stuff, but do they have to find out how they made their money?
01:02:24.000 Are they asking for an...
01:02:25.000 Or is this like, are you Russian?
01:02:27.000 Are you rich? 0.96
01:02:28.000 Well then, I'm stealing your yacht.
01:02:30.000 It's very odd.
01:02:30.000 I don't know.
01:02:31.000 Yeah.
01:02:32.000 It's kind of weird. 1.00
01:02:34.000 Like, part of me is like, yeah, fuck those guys. 1.00
01:02:36.000 And part of me is like, wait, what's happening? 1.00
01:02:39.000 Like, what are they doing with those yachts?
01:02:42.000 Are they going to just take them?
01:02:43.000 The government has them now?
01:02:45.000 Are they going to sell them?
01:02:47.000 Dude, I don't know.
01:02:49.000 Who's going to buy them?
01:02:51.000 Who's going to buy the Russian yachts?
01:02:52.000 Probably hooked up to remote control.
01:02:54.000 You know?
01:02:57.000 Do you remember when Katrina hit and then there was a little news story that no one really mentioned?
01:03:03.000 I didn't really see much about it, but all these Navy-trained dolphins escaped.
01:03:08.000 Do you remember that?
01:03:09.000 I do remember that.
01:03:10.000 I do remember that rumor, but I don't remember researching it.
01:03:13.000 Don't we need to know more about that?
01:03:14.000 Someone just mentioned that?
01:03:16.000 What kind of dolphins are out there?
01:03:17.000 What did they train them for?
01:03:19.000 Well, they definitely trained them to blow up submarines. 0.63
01:03:22.000 They did.
01:03:23.000 Yeah, they trained them to be essentially suicide bombers.
01:03:28.000 In a global war on terror, the Navy reportedly began training dolphins to shoot potential terrorists targeting Navy ships.
01:03:35.000 But a special investigator claimed that after Hurricane Katrina, a few of those deadly dolphin guards escaped, and the Navy has been looking for them ever since.
01:03:43.000 So they got dolphin, armed dolphin assassins.
01:03:48.000 It's like a South Park episode.
01:03:50.000 What does it say?
01:03:50.000 Roaming the seas with toxic?
01:03:52.000 What is this thing that says there right underneath there, Jamie?
01:03:54.000 What does it say toxic?
01:03:58.000 Toxic what?
01:04:01.000 Toxic dart guns?
01:04:02.000 Jesus Christ!
01:04:04.000 They've got poison dart guns that they can shoot. 1.00
01:04:07.000 Holy shit. 1.00
01:04:07.000 Look how they're rigged. 1.00
01:04:08.000 They're rigged up. 0.99
01:04:09.000 That is fucking insane. 1.00
01:04:13.000 That is fucking insane. 1.00
01:04:14.000 They're last seen headed towards St. Bart's. 1.00
01:04:16.000 Dude, that is so crazy. 0.95
01:04:17.000 We armed dolphins and taught them to fuck things up. 1.00
01:04:20.000 Dude, and they like to fuck, I think. 1.00
01:04:23.000 They also, unfortunately, engage in infanticide. 1.00
01:04:27.000 They kill the babies.
01:04:29.000 That's why female dolphins try to have sex with as many males as possible. 1.00
01:04:34.000 Because when the female gets pregnant and she gives birth, the baby has to be with her for many years. 0.99
01:04:39.000 She has to take care of it.
01:04:40.000 And she won't breed with other males.
01:04:42.000 So males will try to kill her babies, try to get her to breed again. 1.00
01:04:45.000 So if she has sex with a bunch of males, they're like, oh, those could be my kids. 1.00
01:04:49.000 And he doesn't do it. 0.97
01:04:53.000 Dolphins are ruthless. 1.00
01:04:54.000 Flipper, what the fuck? 1.00
01:04:55.000 Yeah, what the fuck, dolphins? 1.00
01:04:57.000 Dude, I was thinking about like... 1.00
01:04:59.000 I have a conspiracy theory, too, about cats.
01:05:02.000 My wife's, like, obsessed with cats, and so is my stepdaughter.
01:05:06.000 And I was talking to a buddy of ours, and he's like, oh, yeah, cats, man.
01:05:11.000 You know, they got this toxoplasmosis.
01:05:13.000 I heard you talking about it a couple weeks ago in here.
01:05:15.000 And I was like, yeah, he's like, dude.
01:05:17.000 And he was, like, floating this idea that, like, you know, it's a bacteria.
01:05:21.000 It enters your brain, but it causes, you know, like, rats to want to go up to...
01:05:27.000 They feel safe around cats.
01:05:28.000 They want to engage with the cat.
01:05:30.000 They actually get excited.
01:05:31.000 I started thinking, dude, what if cats actually domesticated people?
01:05:37.000 People make statues to the cats.
01:05:40.000 The Egyptians worshipped the cats. 1.00
01:05:45.000 I don't know, man. 0.99
01:05:46.000 Animals are fucking amazing. 0.98
01:05:48.000 I do kind of think, like, a cat, like, they're cute and cuddly, but the people I know that, like, are cat lovers, like, dude, it's so deep, it's so intense that they get offended when you even float that idea that, like, I've never, like, I've lived with a cat in my house now for years. 0.99
01:06:06.000 I see it.
01:06:07.000 I try not to trip on it, but, like, I don't...
01:06:10.000 I would bet that that toxoplasmosis, the same way it tricks a rat and rewires a rat's body, it probably in some ways does exist in a way that the cats sort of domesticate us.
01:06:23.000 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
01:06:24.000 Probably right.
01:06:25.000 In some weird way, it's like symbiotic at least.
01:06:28.000 They're all connected together.
01:06:30.000 They kill the mice around my house. 0.63
01:06:32.000 Yeah.
01:06:32.000 It's all cool.
01:06:33.000 But I don't touch the litter box. 1.00
01:06:34.000 But they give that cat shit, and that cat shit has that toxo in it. 1.00
01:06:37.000 If you get it, you have it. 1.00
01:06:39.000 That's it.
01:06:40.000 Oh, man.
01:06:41.000 I don't think they can cure that either.
01:06:42.000 I mean, think about the stories like, my stepdad bought a house Before I met my mother, and the woman was living in there by herself with like 50 cats.
01:06:53.000 Cat piss all over the place.
01:06:54.000 Everyone was fine.
01:06:56.000 She was fine with that.
01:06:57.000 Jesus.
01:06:58.000 Dude, that's not normal.
01:07:00.000 Yeah.
01:07:01.000 It's a toxo.
01:07:01.000 But it's common.
01:07:03.000 Dude, yeah.
01:07:04.000 It's very common.
01:07:04.000 Imagine if tigers were really smart.
01:07:07.000 How fucked would we be? 0.99
01:07:09.000 They were really smart, like dolphin smart. 1.00
01:07:12.000 Yeah.
01:07:13.000 That's one thing that we're really lucky about. 1.00
01:07:15.000 The things that like to kill shit other than humans, they're not that smart. 1.00
01:07:20.000 They've got good instincts, but if they could change their environment and be that big, we'd be fucked. 1.00
01:07:27.000 Cats are a weird animal. 0.99
01:07:28.000 I bought a house near Charleston a couple years ago.
01:07:32.000 It's weird living in a place where there's alligators.
01:07:35.000 I started golfing recently and it's very unnerving.
01:07:44.000 I'm an Ohio kid. 0.99
01:07:46.000 I'm sitting there and I look over and I'm like, holy shit, there's like a 10-foot fucking You shouldn't be. 0.99
01:08:03.000 Yeah, but I rented this house in Kiowa Island Right when I was buying this house in Charleston, the key was like a golf kind of wonderland right south of Charleston. 0.99
01:08:16.000 There's like 10 golf courses and some luxury homes.
01:08:19.000 I rented this place.
01:08:23.000 I was like, oh man, there's alligators everywhere.
01:08:25.000 I should look up.
01:08:26.000 When was the last alligator attack?
01:08:28.000 And they're like, oh, some woman was killed.
01:08:30.000 This is like May of 2020. Someone was killed in Kiowa.
01:08:34.000 And it was like two weeks earlier.
01:08:36.000 I was like, I wonder where that happened.
01:08:37.000 Dude, it happened like 150 feet from the front door of this house.
01:08:42.000 I read it.
01:08:43.000 This woman was taking a selfie. 0.99
01:08:45.000 She went to go take a selfie with an alligator, and she apparently took it and walked away, and she's like, that's the last time I'll do that, because it snapped at her, and it apparently went up and...
01:08:57.000 Oh, Jesus Christ.
01:09:00.000 Yeah.
01:09:01.000 Yeah, they can.
01:09:02.000 They don't a lot, but they can. 1.00
01:09:05.000 They certainly fucking can eat you. 0.99
01:09:07.000 They've eaten people all the time. 1.00
01:09:08.000 It's just a weird thing that people are too comfortable around them.
01:09:11.000 I don't understand it.
01:09:12.000 Like, they get real close to them and take pictures.
01:09:14.000 It's like, what?
01:09:15.000 Just because it's not moving doesn't mean it can't move.
01:09:18.000 We have family in St. Augustine, Florida.
01:09:20.000 We go there every summer and they've got the alligator farm there.
01:09:23.000 It's so awesome.
01:09:24.000 It would just scare the shit out of me.
01:09:26.000 Getting that close to alligators, man.
01:09:28.000 Holding to that dinosaur?
01:09:30.000 I lived in Gainesville, Florida for three years.
01:09:33.000 And back then we'd throw marshmallows into the lake and they would eat the marshmallows.
01:09:38.000 Then eventually they decided that was bad for the alligators, so they asked people to not do it.
01:09:42.000 They all got diabetes.
01:09:44.000 I mean, I guess it probably isn't good for them, but just to see it.
01:09:49.000 Like, how weird it was that there was, I'm like, these things aren't even, like, fenced in.
01:09:52.000 This is just a lake.
01:09:54.000 I mean, it wasn't, like, some sort of organized park, and this is, oh, they've all got, they're taking care of these alligators.
01:10:00.000 No, these are wild alligators, just hanging out.
01:10:02.000 There's this amusement park in Ohio called Cedar Point, and there's a carp infestation in Lake Erie.
01:10:09.000 You would go up there, and you could buy fish food and throw it in, but we all realized that you just spit in the water, and they jump up, eat your spit. 0.84
01:10:20.000 But I thought it was really fucking scary that these fish were so ready to eat anything.
01:10:27.000 But yeah, the alligator thing, man, And they're nothing compared to crocodiles. 0.93
01:10:33.000 No.
01:10:33.000 One of the things they found in the Everglades is Nile crocodiles, and they're really worried that there's a breeding population.
01:10:39.000 They don't think there is, but they've definitely found a couple Nile crocodiles. 0.99
01:10:43.000 Those are the big ones that eat, like, zebras and shit. 0.99
01:10:45.000 Oh my god. 1.00
01:10:46.000 They're hyper-aggressive.
01:10:47.000 That's a totally different thing. 1.00
01:10:49.000 And assholes just let them loose in Florida. 1.00
01:10:53.000 Dude, there was a bunch of boa constrictors and pythons. 1.00
01:10:58.000 Pythons.
01:10:59.000 They've decimated the Everglades.
01:11:02.000 Almost 90-something percent of the mammals that used to live there are gone.
01:11:06.000 In terms of their numbers, 90% down deer, 90% down raccoons. 0.99
01:11:11.000 Everyone's getting fucked. 1.00
01:11:13.000 They're so big, and they're everywhere. 1.00
01:11:15.000 They find 19-foot-long ones.
01:11:17.000 They used to be people's pets.
01:11:19.000 They just let them go.
01:11:20.000 And there's so many of them.
01:11:22.000 There's a lot of meth there too.
01:11:23.000 So much.
01:11:24.000 Bad combination.
01:11:25.000 Bath salts.
01:11:25.000 Giant snakes.
01:11:28.000 Jungle snakes that eat everything.
01:11:30.000 And meth. 1.00
01:11:32.000 Fuck. 1.00
01:11:34.000 Nightmare. 1.00
01:11:36.000 They even eat the alligators down there.
01:11:38.000 They find alligators inside their stomachs.
01:11:40.000 It's crazy.
01:11:42.000 There's a video of them eating alligators.
01:11:44.000 They'll eat anything. 0.51
01:11:46.000 Pythons are like the ultimate demon. 0.98
01:11:47.000 Man, I'm just so fucking freaked out. 0.94
01:11:50.000 This is one this guy caught. 1.00
01:11:51.000 Look at the size of this fucking thing. 0.99
01:11:54.000 He says, the day I caught the biggest snake of my life in the Florida Evergrades. 1.00
01:12:00.000 Look at the size of that thing. 0.99
01:12:02.000 I mean, first of all, that guy's got balls. 0.99
01:12:06.000 And what a grip he must have. 0.99
01:12:07.000 Where's the rest of it?
01:12:08.000 The rest of it, I don't know.
01:12:10.000 Dude, people who love snakes love snakes.
01:12:12.000 Look at the size of it.
01:12:13.000 Like cat lovers.
01:12:15.000 Maybe there's like snake plasmosis. 1.00
01:12:19.000 Fuck, look how big that thing is. 1.00
01:12:21.000 Oh my god. 1.00
01:12:23.000 And these things eat like a whole deer. 0.96
01:12:25.000 They'll eat a whole deer.
01:12:27.000 Look at that thing. 0.92
01:12:28.000 So he threw it into a pit.
01:12:29.000 I'm going down there. 0.99
01:12:30.000 Oh my god, this guy's crazy. 0.92
01:12:33.000 They just said there's killer bees in there too. 0.99
01:12:35.000 Oh my god.
01:12:36.000 Why not piranhas?
01:12:37.000 It should be everything.
01:12:39.000 Oh, he just grabs it by its tail. 1.00
01:12:40.000 Fuck. 1.00
01:12:40.000 This guy's insane. 1.00
01:12:42.000 You are fucking insane. 1.00
01:12:44.000 Are you out of your fucking mind? 1.00
01:12:46.000 What is he in? 1.00
01:12:47.000 What is that?
01:12:47.000 It's like a pit with a snake.
01:12:49.000 That's like how he retrieves the snake.
01:12:50.000 He has to go into the pit where they've captured this snake and where they're holding it up.
01:12:55.000 They built the pit just to catch the snake, or is that like a...
01:12:58.000 I don't know.
01:12:58.000 It looks like it.
01:12:59.000 It's like a billionaire escape pod.
01:13:02.000 Is that where a snake just was?
01:13:04.000 Is that like a drainage thing?
01:13:05.000 Or is it where they store the snake?
01:13:08.000 Yeah.
01:13:09.000 Well, his name is Iguana Man.
01:13:10.000 I think he was brought out to get that somewhere.
01:13:14.000 So look at this. 0.99
01:13:15.000 He gets it all the way to the end and then just fucking snatches it by the head. 1.00
01:13:19.000 This guy's a savage. 0.99
01:13:21.000 He's got a UFC shirt on. 0.72
01:13:22.000 Of course he does.
01:13:24.000 Probably does jiu-jitsu.
01:13:25.000 Jesus.
01:13:26.000 Look how he grabbed that snake. 1.00
01:13:27.000 He's just holding it like, bitch, you're mine. 1.00
01:13:30.000 Oh yeah, look, he's got a table on the table. 1.00
01:13:34.000 Holy fuck. 0.99
01:13:35.000 That's twice as long almost. 1.00
01:13:36.000 Look at that one. 0.91
01:13:37.000 That's goddamn insane that something that size is just swimming around in Florida. 0.99
01:13:44.000 And there's a shit ton of them. 1.00
01:13:46.000 Fucking hell, man. 0.99
01:13:48.000 When I lived in this house that was rat-infested... 1.00
01:13:50.000 God damn it, man. 0.99
01:13:52.000 We would poison the rats, and then they would get loopy and come out and start walking around with blood coming from their mouth. 1.00
01:13:59.000 Oh, Jesus Christ.
01:14:00.000 I would just go to my room and...
01:14:02.000 Hide in my room.
01:14:06.000 Usually, Dan would be the one to pick him up.
01:14:09.000 Remember that time he picked up the rat that was like...
01:14:12.000 I mean, he picked it up in the newspaper and the nose and the tail...
01:14:15.000 I mean, that thing was like...
01:14:16.000 It was like a taco.
01:14:17.000 It was like three feet long.
01:14:19.000 It was so huge.
01:14:20.000 Two and a half feet long.
01:14:21.000 You ever see how small the holes are that they can get through?
01:14:25.000 That's what's weird.
01:14:26.000 They can compress their body and get into these really tight areas. 0.99
01:14:31.000 That's how they can travel through pipes and shit. 0.98
01:14:33.000 Like, they really do pop up out of people's toilets sometimes. 0.98
01:14:37.000 I mean, that's not a fake thing, I don't think.
01:14:40.000 I think that's actually happened.
01:14:42.000 God, I hope that's happened.
01:14:43.000 How's that happened?
01:14:44.000 Let's find out.
01:14:45.000 What do you think?
01:14:45.000 My mom used to always tell us about that.
01:14:48.000 Yeah, a rat's gonna pop by.
01:14:49.000 That was always the big myth.
01:14:51.000 Is it real?
01:14:51.000 Oh my god, there's a rat.
01:14:53.000 A rat could really wriggle up your toilet.
01:14:58.000 I always wear a cup when I sit down in the toilet.
01:15:02.000 Hmm.
01:15:02.000 Stop rats from getting into your toilet.
01:15:05.000 Make sure that you leave no food or attractants in the drain.
01:15:08.000 Make sure all entry points and drains are sealed.
01:15:11.000 And consider placing a drain valve on drains to stop rats from entering the home and thereby getting in the toilet.
01:15:19.000 So that's real. 1.00
01:15:21.000 Rats in your fucking toilet. 1.00
01:15:23.000 You imagine, middle of the night, gotta take a shed. 1.00
01:15:27.000 I can imagine it.
01:15:29.000 My dad had this friend that lived in D.C. We used to go visit him for spring break and shit, and he had a hot tub and a rec room on the basement floor, and my brother and I were spending the night there, and I was 16 or something like that. 0.99
01:15:43.000 And I woke up, and I felt something move, and I thought his dog was fucking with my pillow. 0.93
01:15:51.000 I got up and the dog wasn't there. 0.95
01:15:53.000 And the pillow started moving across the floor. 0.99
01:15:55.000 And I was like, what the fuck? 1.00
01:15:57.000 I lifted up the pillow and there was a giant fucking rat. 1.00
01:16:00.000 I was so fucking scared. 1.00
01:16:02.000 Jesus Christ. 0.98
01:16:03.000 We ran upstairs and never went back in that room.
01:16:07.000 But he found that rat dead actually inside.
01:16:12.000 He had a drum set down there.
01:16:13.000 It curled up in a kick drum and kicked the bucket. 0.97
01:16:17.000 Jesus.
01:16:17.000 But after that they get poisoned, they get loopy and they start walking towards you.
01:16:21.000 They also get out and they kill owls that way.
01:16:24.000 Because the people that poison the rats, the rats go out and the owls kill them.
01:16:28.000 And then the owls get sick and die.
01:16:30.000 Yeah, I don't use the poison.
01:16:32.000 I just use the cats now around my house.
01:16:33.000 But my house in Nashville, too, there's so many owls.
01:16:36.000 I feel like I never saw an owl as a kid.
01:16:39.000 I see an owl every day.
01:16:42.000 They are one of the weirdest like represented animals the way we represent them as this wise Creature in the woods that would like answer questions and have solutions to puzzles Well what they really are is a ruthless fucking killer that's that flies at night and snatches other birds right out of their nest It's surreal when they fly over you because you can't hear them and yeah If you see one during the day and you make eye contact with them, 0.80
01:17:09.000 they look like they're not expecting to be caught. 0.93
01:17:14.000 Do you know that story, The Staircase?
01:17:16.000 No.
01:17:17.000 Do you know the story?
01:17:18.000 It was about a man who was accused and sent to jail for killing his wife, but she had talon marks on her head, and now they think that she got hit by an owl outside the house.
01:17:31.000 Because there was blood, her own blood, on the stairs and like leading up into the house.
01:17:38.000 And then she fell down a flight of stairs.
01:17:40.000 And the thought was initially that this guy had did it to his wife. 0.99
01:17:44.000 But now the new theory is that a fucking owl hit her because they found microscopic owl feathers in her hair. 0.99
01:17:52.000 And they think it like that's consistent with the kind of injury that she would have had and that she had lost some blood and Came in the house like all fucked up and fell down a flight of stairs. 0.99
01:18:02.000 He's fucked if that's all his defense came up with But I think they actually found the cut. 0.96
01:18:07.000 No, I think owls do do that to people I think owls get... 1.00
01:18:12.000 Like, other birds will whack you in the fucking head. 1.00
01:18:14.000 You know? 1.00
01:18:16.000 Yeah, they're freaky.
01:18:17.000 They've woken me up in the middle of the night.
01:18:20.000 Making noise.
01:18:21.000 Hunting.
01:18:22.000 Hearing in my yard.
01:18:23.000 If you're annoying and they're...
01:18:24.000 They're humongous.
01:18:25.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:18:26.000 Their fucking heads are beautiful too, aren't they? 1.00
01:18:28.000 Oh yeah. 0.99
01:18:30.000 Yeah, dude, like I said, I feel like I never saw one, but now I live just right outside of the city, just right near this big park, and dude, I see the big ass owls, one of the great...
01:18:42.000 Horned something, I think. 0.97
01:18:44.000 They're fucking massive. 1.00
01:18:45.000 They're beautiful. 1.00
01:18:45.000 Like this big. 1.00
01:18:46.000 Yeah. 0.99
01:18:47.000 Fucking hell, man. 0.99
01:18:48.000 When you see one clearly, it's like, whoa. 0.99
01:18:51.000 It's almost like you shouldn't...
01:18:52.000 I shouldn't even be looking at you.
01:18:53.000 How am I looking at you?
01:18:55.000 You're supposed to be hiding, bro.
01:18:56.000 When I turn their head...
01:18:57.000 Creepy. 1.00
01:18:59.000 Fucking insane. 0.99
01:19:00.000 There's a great video. 0.99
01:19:01.000 Have you ever seen the night vision video of a hawk nest?
01:19:05.000 There's these hawks in the nest and you see this owl come out of the distance and just snatch one of the hawks right out of the nest.
01:19:12.000 Can you get that?
01:19:13.000 Yeah, it's one of my favorite nature videos.
01:19:16.000 I don't remember when I realized that birds kill the birds.
01:19:21.000 It was post-internet.
01:19:22.000 I never remember being taught that in school. 1.00
01:19:24.000 Watch this shit. 1.00
01:19:26.000 I didn't know they eat each other. 1.00
01:19:29.000 Watch this shit. 1.00
01:19:32.000 Boom! 1.00
01:19:32.000 Snatch! 1.00
01:19:33.000 Gotcha, bitch. 1.00
01:19:35.000 I mean, the kind of force that it takes to do that, if someone hit you in the head like that, and you were coming back from your... 1.00
01:19:42.000 What kind of bird is that? 0.70
01:19:43.000 I think that's a hawk.
01:19:44.000 Yeah, I was going to say.
01:19:45.000 It's not like a pigeon or something.
01:19:47.000 No, it's a fairly good-sized animal. 0.97
01:19:49.000 And this bird just fucks him up. 0.89
01:19:52.000 He just swings away with him. 0.70
01:19:54.000 My stepdaughter, she's like a bird fanatic. 1.00
01:19:58.000 So it's cool because when we're going for a walk or something, she'll know.
01:20:03.000 She can tell if it's a falcon because it's some sort of weird tail.
01:20:07.000 But it's kind of crazy the amount of species of birds that live in Nashville.
01:20:13.000 Also, Charleston's famous for it because Audubon lived there.
01:20:18.000 What's that elusive?
01:20:19.000 It's extinct, the ivory-billed woodpecker.
01:20:24.000 What is it?
01:20:25.000 Ivory-billed woodpecker?
01:20:26.000 What is it?
01:20:27.000 There's a woodpecker that no one's seen since the 30s that people are always trying to say that they've seen. 0.99
01:20:31.000 It's this big fucking woodpecker. 0.99
01:20:33.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:20:33.000 Ooh, look at that thing. 1.00
01:20:36.000 So there's this place south of Charleston called the Ace Basin.
01:20:40.000 It's where three rivers connect and it's like hundreds of thousands of wetland that's protected.
01:20:45.000 There's so many bird species down there, but I guess occasionally someone will say that they've seen this thing, but it hasn't been seen since the 30s.
01:20:55.000 I never saw an eagle until I went to Alaska.
01:20:57.000 I saw a bald eagle a few years back.
01:20:59.000 I remember looking at that thing going, that's our national animal. 0.99
01:21:03.000 How the fuck? 0.99
01:21:04.000 How did we pick that thing? 1.00
01:21:07.000 Like, they're majestic flying assassins.
01:21:11.000 Didn't they almost get taken out because of DDT? I don't know what almost got them, but I think lead gets them, too.
01:21:17.000 Some of them die from lead poisoning because, like, say someone shoots an animal and doesn't recover it, and they find the lead pellets, they'll eat the animal, and they'll get lead poisoning.
01:21:27.000 That happened in the condors, too.
01:21:28.000 It's like lead ammunition they're trying to get rid of in some states.
01:21:32.000 California's already outlawed it. 0.90
01:21:34.000 I just saw this thing that basically everybody alive between like 1940 and now has some significant lead poisoning because of the additive of lead to gas.
01:21:50.000 So if you're born, I guess born before 85, there still was a lot of...
01:21:54.000 In fact, some countries, they're still using leaded gas somewhere in Africa until this year.
01:21:58.000 But I guess lead is actually not as common as you would think as far as being...
01:22:06.000 It all stemmed from this guy who was trying to figure out the half-life of some uranium or something, and there was this lead everywhere.
01:22:14.000 He realized that no matter what he did to his laboratory, that there was lead on everything, contaminated lead.
01:22:21.000 And then he realized that the whole world is contaminated with With lead and that like trillions of IQ points have been lost over the human population from everybody having lead poisoning.
01:22:32.000 From leaded gas.
01:22:33.000 We'd all be a little bit smarter if it weren't for this lead.
01:22:36.000 And they knew that it was bad.
01:22:38.000 Instead of calling it leaded gas, they named it ethyl.
01:22:41.000 Not ethanol.
01:22:42.000 They called it ethyl.
01:22:43.000 And it raised the octane like It supercharged the gas.
01:22:49.000 He created one substance prior that made him stink so bad that he had to live in a different house. 1.00
01:22:56.000 His wife almost divorced him because he smelled like shit, couldn't get it out. 1.00
01:22:59.000 And then a couple years later, he realized, oh, I just put a little bit of lead in this gas. 1.00
01:23:03.000 It's like the octane's like...
01:23:05.000 Because the engines were all knocking back then because they were not getting high enough octane.
01:23:11.000 So yeah, he fixed it with lead and it just accidentally poisoned the whole world. 0.99
01:23:18.000 Holy shit! 1.00
01:23:20.000 Holy shit. 1.00
01:23:21.000 I never even put those two together. 1.00
01:23:24.000 I never knew that leaded and unleaded gas meant actual lead.
01:23:27.000 Yeah.
01:23:28.000 I never even thought about it, honestly.
01:23:29.000 I didn't even know.
01:23:30.000 I just go, what kind do I need?
01:23:31.000 That kind.
01:23:33.000 What's the good one?
01:23:34.000 93?
01:23:34.000 Okay.
01:23:35.000 They put lead in everything back then.
01:23:36.000 Paint.
01:23:37.000 That's crazy.
01:23:38.000 The paint one's a big one, right?
01:23:39.000 Like kids, little kids that ate paint.
01:23:41.000 That was always the thing.
01:23:42.000 Like kids would make fun of kids in school.
01:23:44.000 Dude, my friend's mom bought this Victorian house, and she told all the kids that lived there.
01:23:49.000 We were all in our mid-20s.
01:23:51.000 She said, if you guys paint the house, you can live there for free this summer.
01:23:55.000 So they all decided to scrape and paint the house.
01:23:59.000 And after a couple weeks, the cat died.
01:24:01.000 Oh, Jesus Christ. 1.00
01:24:02.000 What the fuck? 1.00
01:24:03.000 And then they realized that they all had lead poisoning. 1.00
01:24:05.000 Oh, my God.
01:24:07.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:24:08.000 Holy shit. 1.00
01:24:09.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:24:11.000 Send professionals in hazmat suits for that shit. 1.00
01:24:15.000 I definitely... 1.00
01:24:16.000 Yeah, lead and asbestos.
01:24:17.000 I got hired to do this, to work at this old theater built in the 20s in Akron.
01:24:23.000 I got hired to oversee it getting renovated.
01:24:27.000 And dude, when I think back about that time, this is right before we started the band, dude, there's just asbestos everywhere in there.
01:24:35.000 There's no respirator.
01:24:36.000 It's all over Akron.
01:24:37.000 Dude, everywhere.
01:24:38.000 I was like, this can't be safe.
01:24:43.000 They used to have it in the basements of buildings on the pipes.
01:24:47.000 Dude, yeah. 0.99
01:24:47.000 Like, when I wrestled in high school, I was like, did they check these fucking pipes for asbestos? 0.99
01:24:51.000 Is it illegal? 1.00
01:24:52.000 Fuck no. 1.00
01:24:54.000 Probably not, right? 1.00
01:24:55.000 It's in all the tile.
01:24:56.000 It's everywhere.
01:24:58.000 Yeah.
01:24:59.000 Yeah, there's a lot of those, right?
01:25:01.000 There's a lot of those chemicals.
01:25:03.000 That's a naturally occurring thing, asbestos.
01:25:05.000 Is it really?
01:25:05.000 You mine it.
01:25:06.000 Yeah, it's like a natural fiber.
01:25:08.000 Oh, no kidding.
01:25:09.000 Yeah.
01:25:10.000 But is it cancerous?
01:25:11.000 Is the idea that it has to be sealed up or something like that for it to be effective?
01:25:16.000 Or does it get in the air?
01:25:18.000 The fibers, it gets into the lining of your abdomen and it causes inflammation until it causes cancer, yeah.
01:25:26.000 I think that's how it works.
01:25:27.000 I'm not a doctor, but I know that there's asbestos mines and stuff like in Canada. 0.93
01:25:35.000 When I was a kid, I got a lot of construction jobs, and one of them I had to insulate a roof, like crawl in the attic in the crawl space, and use, what is that shit called? 0.79
01:25:48.000 Pink Panther. 0.90
01:25:49.000 Yeah, that stuff.
01:25:50.000 What is it?
01:25:51.000 Fiberglass.
01:25:52.000 Fiberglass.
01:25:52.000 Fiberglass insulation.
01:25:53.000 You'd get it everywhere.
01:25:54.000 It'd be in your skin.
01:25:55.000 Oh, yeah.
01:25:55.000 It's worse.
01:25:55.000 You'd just be fucking sweating up there because it was hot, and then the fiberglass would get in your skin.
01:26:00.000 It would just stick to you. 0.97
01:26:01.000 It was just in your...
01:26:02.000 You'd look itchy.
01:26:03.000 Everything was itchy.
01:26:05.000 And if you're breathing that in, how bad is that for you?
01:26:08.000 Dude, when we were making this record, we were listening to the Jerky Boys one day.
01:26:11.000 That skit where you're like, hey, Jerky. 0.99
01:26:15.000 He's like, you guys fuck with asbestos? 1.00
01:26:17.000 Do you fuck with insulation? 1.00
01:26:20.000 I eat the shit. 1.00
01:26:22.000 Put mustard on it, I eat the shit. 1.00
01:26:25.000 Fucking amazing, dude. 1.00
01:26:27.000 Jerky boys were incredible. 0.99
01:26:28.000 Dude, so fucking good. 0.98
01:26:29.000 People forgot. 0.99
01:26:30.000 People forgot how funny those...
01:26:32.000 They were the original, like, famous prank call guys.
01:26:36.000 Amazing.
01:26:37.000 They still hold up, too. 0.96
01:26:37.000 Some of those sketches are fucking hilarious. 0.96
01:26:40.000 I think they might even be funnier now. 0.95
01:26:41.000 Especially in post-cancel culture.
01:26:44.000 Dude, the one where he calls the Middle Eastern dude that just got molested by the dentist. 1.00
01:26:50.000 I mean, fucking insane. 0.98
01:26:52.000 He's like, I wake up my pants unbuttoned. 0.99
01:26:58.000 They did a couple of movies, too, I think.
01:27:01.000 Didn't they do the Jerky Boys movies where they had to save the world by prank calling people? 0.51
01:27:07.000 Something like that.
01:27:08.000 Dude, I got way into prank calls for a while.
01:27:10.000 Yeah?
01:27:11.000 I had a couple good ones.
01:27:12.000 I was calling KFCs, and then I would be like, hey, I'm calling from corporate.
01:27:18.000 We just sent our secret taster out there.
01:27:20.000 We'd like to talk to the manager.
01:27:22.000 So the taster said everything was great, but they could only taste 10 of the herbs and spices.
01:27:29.000 Have you been storing the mix on an aluminum rack in the back?
01:27:33.000 You just get really confusing.
01:27:34.000 They're like, what, what?
01:27:35.000 I was like, because the 11th Urban Spice is actually, it's a caustic chemical if it comes in contact with metal. 0.94
01:27:42.000 It just confused the shit out of the manager. 0.93
01:27:44.000 Then I would call back, because I'd feel bad, because I would have the people moving the bags of mix and shit. 0.92
01:27:49.000 I'd call back, did you just get a call from corporate?
01:27:52.000 Yeah, that's actually Popeyes.
01:27:55.000 We've been one step behind them all day. 0.99
01:27:58.000 Fucking with us all day. 0.98
01:27:59.000 I do the same thing at Olive Garden and be like... 0.99
01:28:02.000 They're like, so I need you to go into the cooler and remove the word Aran from the breadstick box.
01:28:07.000 We've broken the trade embargo.
01:28:09.000 And they're like, what?
01:28:09.000 Where is it?
01:28:10.000 It's on the back.
01:28:14.000 Did you record these?
01:28:15.000 I have them recorded, yeah.
01:28:18.000 Have you ever released them?
01:28:19.000 We pranked a record label one time, Warner Brothers.
01:28:21.000 We pranked our record label.
01:28:22.000 They're like, our record label, Nonsuch, puts out a lot of New Age music, so we call it as a New Age band.
01:28:27.000 We had like wind chimes going.
01:28:29.000 Our name of their band was like Quartzazium or something.
01:28:34.000 We got through like everybody and then...
01:28:36.000 Yeah.
01:28:37.000 Dude, the best prank call though I did was...
01:28:40.000 This is actually the last time we played SNL. I just didn't want to go out in New York.
01:28:44.000 I was nervous about partying, getting sucked into a party.
01:28:47.000 So I was like, stay at the hotel and just prank call people.
01:28:50.000 So I just prank called a bunch of people.
01:28:55.000 And I got on Craigslist and I searched for Egyptian artifact.
01:28:58.000 And I found something for sale.
01:29:00.000 It was an ancient Egyptian artifact.
01:29:01.000 This guy actually in Texas.
01:29:03.000 Like near Waco.
01:29:05.000 So I call him, and it just goes straight to voicemail, and I leave a message.
01:29:08.000 I say, hey, this is Dr. So-and-so from the National Museum of Canada.
01:29:12.000 I'm trying to get in touch with you about this artifact.
01:29:15.000 And his voicemail specifically said, like, I will not respond to blocked calls or, you know, whatever.
01:29:21.000 I called back, left another message, and then my brother was there.
01:29:24.000 My brother called.
01:29:25.000 He's like, I'm so-and-so's assistant.
01:29:27.000 I've been trying to get in touch with you.
01:29:28.000 So finally, like, we keep making prank calls, but we keep touching back on this dude.
01:29:32.000 And I call, and finally he answers.
01:29:34.000 He's like, I know who this is.
01:29:35.000 I was like, good, I've been waiting to get in touch with you.
01:29:39.000 You have something that we really need. 0.98
01:29:41.000 And dude, this phone call lasted 40 fucking minutes. 0.72
01:29:44.000 And I tell him, I was like, this item that you have is something that we've been looking for for decades. 0.97
01:29:52.000 We've been building a pyramid in the center of Canada for the last 100 years.
01:29:57.000 We're nearing completion.
01:29:58.000 And when we get your artifact, we will be able to energize this pyramid.
01:30:04.000 Are you comfortable with that?
01:30:05.000 Are you comfortable with the total shift in global dynamics?
01:30:09.000 And are you comfortable with some people, it resulted in total enslavement of certain populations?
01:30:14.000 And the dude was like, hell yeah I am! 1.00
01:30:16.000 Fuck Obama! 1.00
01:30:17.000 Oh my God. 1.00
01:30:18.000 And I was like, dude, here's how it works.
01:30:21.000 Because we're a government organization, I have to offer you $50.
01:30:25.000 You can counter offer with any number, but this dude is so confused by what I'm saying.
01:30:29.000 I was like, would you accept $50 for this item?
01:30:31.000 He's like, hell yeah!
01:30:34.000 And I just lose it laughing on the phone.
01:30:37.000 But dude, the buildup was so intense.
01:30:41.000 But that's the shocking thing.
01:30:42.000 Are you going to release those?
01:30:44.000 I'll send them to you.
01:30:45.000 Please do.
01:30:46.000 And if someone steals them from my phone, is that a problem?
01:30:48.000 That's not a problem.
01:30:49.000 If it gets leaked out into the grave?
01:30:51.000 No, I'll send them to you.
01:30:52.000 But, you know, I was talking to a friend of mine who just does counseling and does assessments of people's intelligence for prisons and stuff, and this person was basically saying that, you know, 1.00
01:31:09.000 A higher percentage of the population than you think are just complete idiots. 0.99
01:31:13.000 No one really acknowledges it, but like... 1.00
01:31:17.000 Apparently I got in touch with one of them for that prank call.
01:31:19.000 But I think, you know, they were saying that, you know, the average IQ in, like, prison is, like, way lower than you would think.
01:31:28.000 And that most people who end up in prison, you know, just, they might have lead poisoning or something. 1.00
01:31:33.000 Holy shit! 0.99
01:31:34.000 They might. 1.00
01:31:35.000 But then that becomes way scarier that, like, people are in prison, not because they've chosen to be a criminal, but because they just...
01:31:43.000 Can't think straight.
01:31:44.000 Can't think straight. 1.00
01:31:46.000 Fuck. 1.00
01:31:48.000 Listen, I would imagine there's some kind of impact that all that shit has in the environment and how it affects human biology. 1.00
01:31:59.000 It's not good. 1.00
01:32:00.000 You start mixing someone who's just an idiot with methamphetamines or drugs. 1.00
01:32:07.000 Right. 1.00
01:32:08.000 And then there's dudes who just unfortunately get born with dull brains. 0.99
01:32:13.000 Their brains just don't work good. 0.98
01:32:14.000 Yeah. 0.71
01:32:14.000 I've met people like that. 0.71
01:32:16.000 It just sucks. 0.98
01:32:17.000 Have you seen this? 0.99
01:32:18.000 I started watching this documentary on Netflix about this chick that had a vegan restaurant. 1.00
01:32:24.000 I heard about it.
01:32:26.000 I heard it's insane.
01:32:26.000 Well, I had to stop watching it after the second episode because my wife and I were watching it.
01:32:31.000 But she owns this vegan restaurant called Pure Food and Wine.
01:32:35.000 It was like at Union Square in New York.
01:32:37.000 And she starts dating this guy who's basically convincing her to wire him money every day, like hundreds of thousands of dollars, and that soon they will be immortal and that her pit bull will live forever. 1.00
01:32:54.000 What the fuck? 1.00
01:32:57.000 So this guy scammed her? 1.00
01:32:59.000 That's the story? 1.00
01:33:00.000 But honestly, she might deserve to have been scammed if she believed this shit. 1.00
01:33:03.000 It's fucking insane. 1.00
01:33:06.000 I don't know what happened. 0.98
01:33:08.000 I had to stop watching it because she kept sending this guy money and he kept talking about how they were going to live forever. 1.00
01:33:16.000 People get sucked into stupid shit, man. 1.00
01:33:19.000 It doesn't seem to be that hard to get them either. 1.00
01:33:22.000 There's plenty of people that get sucked into stupid shit. 1.00
01:33:26.000 Dude, I got real obsessed with that Peter Popoff guy. 1.00
01:33:29.000 He's like a TV evangelist who would get caught scamming people.
01:33:33.000 He would have a wire in his ear, and someone would read it.
01:33:38.000 They'd ask everybody that came into his revivals, like, what's your name?
01:33:43.000 What's your age?
01:33:43.000 What's your ailment?
01:33:44.000 Why are you here?
01:33:45.000 And then these people wouldn't think twice about putting it on a card, and then he would say, is there someone here named...
01:33:52.000 Esibel.
01:33:53.000 Sharon? 0.96
01:33:54.000 Do you have a sick parent? 0.69
01:33:57.000 People would watch this, just send this guy tons of money, man.
01:34:00.000 He made millions of dollars.
01:34:01.000 Then he got busted, and now he's back on, you can find him on infomercials.
01:34:06.000 He's selling holy water.
01:34:09.000 He sells you holy water.
01:34:10.000 If you give him money, and also it helps, his thing's all, he has a lot of people on there who are like, oh yeah, I gave Peter, I gave the mission $100, and then I won the lottery.
01:34:21.000 Because this whole thing is like Jesus will give you rewards if you donate now.
01:34:27.000 Even if you're broke.
01:34:28.000 Yeah, he's driving around in a Porsche.
01:34:29.000 That's how you're going to get your money.
01:34:31.000 You've got to give up all your money, and then Jesus is going to give back to tenfold.
01:34:33.000 That's essentially what this guy was doing on the vegan thing.
01:34:35.000 He was like, give me this money, and then you're going to get $100,000 a month for the rest of your life, and you'll be immortal. 1.00
01:34:44.000 People want to believe stupid shit. 0.99
01:34:46.000 I got super fascinated with that story of that woman, Elizabeth Holmes, who made that Theranos company where they developed a blood test that didn't work at all. 1.00
01:34:56.000 It just takes your finger prick and it scans you for a bunch of different diseases, but apparently it didn't work. 0.98
01:35:03.000 It's a wild fucking story. 0.98
01:35:05.000 It's like listening to the amount of people that invested in the amount of money They invested like big-time people. 0.99
01:35:11.000 Oh, yeah, but hundreds of millions of dollars into this And now it's all just vaporware. 0.91
01:35:17.000 It's nothing and now she's on trial Yeah, I mean I've seen different people fall for tons of different shit Well, that's how cults get started like those the cults where they brand you There's a certain amount of people that want to belong so badly. 0.89
01:35:36.000 Or I wonder if it's also people with lead poisoning, or I wonder if it's also people who are medicated. 0.96
01:35:42.000 Maybe all of the above.
01:35:43.000 I mean, making bad decisions based on what other people think, you think what other people think you should do, I think it's pretty common.
01:35:49.000 Super common.
01:35:50.000 I mean, when we started the band, there was definitely decisions that we were making based on what we thought other people thought we should do.
01:35:56.000 Right.
01:35:57.000 At one point we got offered, you know, to put a Song in a mayonnaise commercial in the UK. Keep in mind, we might have had a couple hundred dollars in our bank account.
01:36:07.000 We were destitute.
01:36:08.000 And we didn't have...
01:36:10.000 There was no other lifeline.
01:36:13.000 It was like, this is our livelihood.
01:36:15.000 And we were convinced fully by someone who was working with us as a manager that if we took that money and we had a song in that commercial that we would be branded as sellouts and that we would no longer have a career.
01:36:28.000 Jesus Christ.
01:36:29.000 So we didn't.
01:36:30.000 And then we eventually learned to like...
01:36:31.000 It was like we were brainwashed.
01:36:32.000 We were brainwashed.
01:36:34.000 Because we were making records by ourselves in our basement on absolutely no budget.
01:36:39.000 This guy lived in a multi-million dollar house in a big major city and he was the one telling us what...
01:36:45.000 I was just like, aye aye aye.
01:36:49.000 But yeah, you know.
01:36:52.000 Is that a real dilemma?
01:36:53.000 Like, when an artist gets an offer to sell a song for something like Hot Dogs, but it's a shitload of money, what is the thought process that happens?
01:37:03.000 It seems like it was a thing when we started.
01:37:05.000 It doesn't matter at all anymore.
01:37:07.000 It doesn't seem like it.
01:37:08.000 So no one cares anymore?
01:37:09.000 I don't think so.
01:37:09.000 They shouldn't care when it happens.
01:37:10.000 It doesn't ruin the original song.
01:37:14.000 I think certain songs were ruined by commercials.
01:37:17.000 Oh, they made a parody of it?
01:37:19.000 I heard it through the grapevine, I think.
01:37:20.000 Oh, that's a rough one.
01:37:22.000 There's a problem there.
01:37:23.000 Although, I still love the song still.
01:37:26.000 Yeah.
01:37:27.000 That's true, though.
01:37:28.000 You do now have to think about the grapes dancing around.
01:37:31.000 Yeah.
01:37:32.000 I don't think about the grapes, man.
01:37:34.000 Good for you.
01:37:35.000 Thank you.
01:37:36.000 I'm glad you're there.
01:37:37.000 I don't really either.
01:37:38.000 I think as long as you're uncomfortable with it.
01:37:41.000 But we were definitely convinced multiple times.
01:37:43.000 One thing we were told not to do was it was a Kate Moss jewelry commercial.
01:37:47.000 It was like Kate Moss dancing around scantily clad.
01:37:50.000 And we were told, once again, we'd be a sellout for doing that.
01:37:54.000 And we didn't.
01:37:55.000 Or our manager had passed on it without asking us. 1.00
01:37:58.000 And I was like, what the fuck? 0.99
01:38:01.000 Huh? 1.00
01:38:02.000 Dude.
01:38:03.000 I've done a total 180 after you brought up the grapes.
01:38:05.000 No, I agree.
01:38:07.000 Yeah, it can fuck up a song, I guess.
01:38:09.000 I didn't think it could.
01:38:10.000 I didn't think selling it to a commercial could, and then I thought about the grapes.
01:38:13.000 I'm like...
01:38:14.000 I think it's not so much the commercial as much as that commercial was omnipresent.
01:38:19.000 It was overexposure.
01:38:21.000 Hearing a song enough will make it a hit song.
01:38:25.000 I'm convinced.
01:38:26.000 You can put any song, pipe it through every Walgreens, and it's going to become a hit. 0.83
01:38:31.000 How about that really big cock song? 0.58
01:38:33.000 Absolutely. 0.97
01:38:34.000 You can see people dancing to it.
01:38:38.000 Definitely in France or somewhere where they don't speak English.
01:38:41.000 They'll be like, oh, don't hear that cock song. 0.98
01:38:44.000 Yeah. 0.69
01:38:47.000 Well, what makes a hit today because of the fact that radio is not the big driver anymore?
01:38:52.000 What is the biggest driver of Record sales or of streams of like how do people find out about stuff now most I mean, there's this a kind of punk garage rock musician Who goes by the name King Kong on the barbecue show.
01:39:12.000 He actually has the second most tick-tocked song right now, which is amazing.
01:39:18.000 Wow.
01:39:18.000 So I don't know if that, but I don't know.
01:39:20.000 I don't think any of those analytics work anymore to determine what's happening.
01:39:25.000 I don't think anybody really knows what's going on.
01:39:27.000 Say if you're an artist, you're talented. 0.93
01:39:30.000 How the fuck does it get out there? 0.97
01:39:32.000 That's what we've wondered. 0.98
01:39:35.000 I don't know, but you know what's interesting to me is how many musicians are selling their publishing.
01:39:39.000 We're always told, oh yeah, record sales, no one's buying records, but then you see these people selling their publishing for $150 million, $500 million.
01:39:48.000 Bruce Springsteen just sold everything for half a billion dollars.
01:39:53.000 He wants a submarine, son.
01:39:55.000 He wants that submarine.
01:39:56.000 He wants that submarine money.
01:39:57.000 There's a lot of inflation. 0.99
01:39:58.000 He's not getting shit now. 1.00
01:39:59.000 He's gonna be up there dressed like Toneta, just dancing on his fucking giant yacht. 1.00
01:40:05.000 Half a billion dollars is a crazy amount of money. 0.98
01:40:07.000 But I guess, you know, what is Bruce Springsteen like in his 60s somewhere?
01:40:11.000 I don't know, my friend said he's the only working class hero who wants to be known as the boss.
01:40:17.000 That's a good point.
01:40:19.000 That's a good point.
01:40:21.000 He had a podcast with Obama for a while.
01:40:23.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:40:25.000 That's some St. Bart's shit. 1.00
01:40:27.000 Yeah, right? 1.00
01:40:28.000 That's some Bohemian Grove shit. 0.96
01:40:31.000 But the St. Bart's thing, don't you think all those super ballers, they're the only people that will understand them as other super ballers, and so they have to meet somewhere like a super ballers club? 0.98
01:40:42.000 Yeah, probably.
01:40:43.000 I mean, it kind of makes sense that when you get into that oligarch realm of uber wealth and you have a $1.6 billion yacht, you probably don't have a lot of peers.
01:40:54.000 Yeah, I don't know.
01:40:57.000 I definitely felt like we were like the court jester for the week.
01:41:01.000 Right.
01:41:02.000 We played our music.
01:41:04.000 It was fine.
01:41:06.000 People were cool.
01:41:08.000 But it was, the weird thing was just looking out at the harbor there and seeing that there were like hundreds and hundreds of these huge, yeah, it was crazy. 0.97
01:41:18.000 Did you see any eyes wide shut type shit? 0.92
01:41:21.000 I definitely, there were definitely, you know what, I smoked, Rihanna was there, and she was like, do you want to hit this joint? 0.98
01:41:28.000 She handed me the joint, and I was like, I don't know.
01:41:31.000 I don't really smoke weed.
01:41:32.000 She's like, not forced, but she's like, try it.
01:41:35.000 And I took my hit and she just started laughing at me because she knew what was about to happen to me. 0.90
01:41:39.000 And I was just like...
01:41:40.000 You have to say yes.
01:41:42.000 I definitely said yes.
01:41:45.000 You have to.
01:41:46.000 Definitely got really high.
01:41:48.000 It wasn't as...
01:41:49.000 I should have freaked out a little bit more considering I thought it was cool.
01:41:53.000 But yeah, it was like that.
01:41:54.000 That's what it was.
01:41:55.000 It was really bizarre.
01:41:57.000 So when all those very wealthy people and famous people get together, are they having fun at all, or do they still seem uptight all together?
01:42:07.000 Everybody seemed chill.
01:42:08.000 There was definitely a lot of, like, girls who were flown in there to hang out Epstein style or whatever. 0.99
01:42:16.000 Damn. 0.99
01:42:16.000 There were girls around. 0.99
01:42:18.000 Yeah.
01:42:18.000 Yeah.
01:42:19.000 I guess that's the ultimate form of keep up with the Joneses, right?
01:42:23.000 To have that kind of wealth and have a yacht and multiple yachts.
01:42:28.000 Some of these guys, they're on their one yacht and they're trying to hide their second yacht.
01:42:32.000 And they've already, you know, confiscated one and they're going after the second one.
01:42:37.000 They have to cruise it around.
01:42:39.000 Yeah, I think they're constantly upgrading to get that big yacht.
01:42:45.000 So, is the idea that all these oligarchs...
01:42:47.000 The spaceship is the new yacht.
01:42:49.000 It's not just oligarchs.
01:42:50.000 I think David Geffen has the second or third biggest yacht on Earth.
01:42:55.000 Really?
01:42:55.000 And he had the fourth.
01:42:57.000 Jesus.
01:42:58.000 Have you ever seen the Steve Jobs yacht? 0.99
01:43:00.000 He had a yacht that looked like a fucking Apple store. 0.99
01:43:03.000 It really did. 0.99
01:43:04.000 It looked like it was an Apple store floating around.
01:43:06.000 You're like, oh yeah, of course that's Steve Jobs.
01:43:09.000 It's pretty cool looking.
01:43:11.000 It's the coolest looking yacht I've ever seen.
01:43:13.000 But I think that's what those people feel like they have to do.
01:43:16.000 They get to that level of wealth.
01:43:17.000 It's just, you know, you hear Mike got a 196-foot yacht.
01:43:22.000 Dude, we need to show up with, like, a 400-foot party barge. 0.75
01:43:27.000 You know you need to show up with one of those Mississippi River boats.
01:43:30.000 You know?
01:43:31.000 There's one of those in Nashville that works. 0.99
01:43:33.000 Those things are cool as fuck. 0.97
01:43:34.000 They're amazing. 0.99
01:43:35.000 Is that it?
01:43:35.000 I don't know.
01:43:35.000 I'm asking.
01:43:36.000 I think that's it.
01:43:39.000 I think that's it.
01:43:40.000 It looks like it.
01:43:40.000 I think that's it.
01:43:41.000 Doesn't it look like an Apple store?
01:43:42.000 Yeah.
01:43:43.000 Yeah, that's it.
01:43:44.000 And it's beautiful.
01:43:45.000 And it's all run by IMAX. The screens inside are all IMAX. Oh my god.
01:43:51.000 Yeah. 0.95
01:43:53.000 I would be so fucking annoyed. 0.91
01:43:55.000 Just trying to shut the blinds. 0.97
01:43:57.000 A lot of glass in there. 0.99
01:43:59.000 It's just that world is a fucking strange world. 0.99
01:44:02.000 Helicopter pads and swimming pools. 0.98
01:44:05.000 And now these guys are...
01:44:07.000 Does that yacht come with that U2 record on it?
01:44:10.000 I can't get rid of it.
01:44:13.000 Was that a bad move?
01:44:14.000 It was a bad move, right?
01:44:15.000 To do that.
01:44:16.000 You don't want to force your music on someone that way, right?
01:44:19.000 I don't...
01:44:22.000 We would.
01:44:25.000 I'd be happy to be on that Manuel Noriega playlist.
01:44:29.000 Oh, the one that they blasted at him when he was in Panama when they were trying to extract him?
01:44:33.000 Dude, someone compiled it on Spotify.
01:44:35.000 I downloaded it.
01:44:36.000 Really?
01:44:36.000 Every song that they blasted at Noriega.
01:44:39.000 I'm like, dude, it'd be cool to get on that list.
01:44:42.000 The CIA's annoyance list.
01:44:45.000 What kind of bands were on there?
01:44:46.000 Dude, it's very chaotic, which is, I think, why it was so effective.
01:44:50.000 It's got everything from Frank Sinatra, I think, to Van Halen.
01:44:54.000 Didn't they have animal noises, too?
01:44:56.000 Did they play wild noises?
01:44:58.000 Here it is.
01:44:59.000 Here we got.
01:45:00.000 Billy Joel.
01:45:01.000 You got another thing coming from Judas Priest.
01:45:03.000 Nice.
01:45:04.000 50 ways to leave your lover.
01:45:06.000 All over but the crying.
01:45:08.000 Georgia Satellites.
01:45:09.000 All I want is you, YouTube.
01:45:10.000 Big shot.
01:45:11.000 Billy Joel.
01:45:12.000 Blue-collar man from Styx.
01:45:14.000 Born to run.
01:45:15.000 Bruce Springsteen.
01:45:16.000 Cleaning up the town. 0.99
01:45:17.000 Do you think this offended the artist when they found out, like Kenny Loggins, when he found out that Danger Zone from Top Gun, original soundtrack, was on the fucking... 0.96
01:45:25.000 Let's try to figure out what song it was that played when he just came out. 0.99
01:45:28.000 Like, fuck this. 1.00
01:45:29.000 I can't tell you. 1.00
01:45:37.000 I'm a Closet Heavens on Fire fan.
01:45:39.000 I love that Kiss song.
01:45:41.000 I fought the law.
01:45:43.000 Iron Man, Black Sabbath. 1.00
01:45:44.000 Wow, a lot of fucking songs. 1.00
01:45:46.000 That's not a bad fucking... 1.00
01:45:47.000 Midnight Rider, the Allman Brothers? 1.00
01:45:49.000 That's a great goddamn song. 0.99
01:45:51.000 That Ecstasy song is a pretty hip choice. 0.99
01:45:55.000 Interesting.
01:45:56.000 I love Midnight Rider.
01:45:57.000 It's such a good song.
01:45:58.000 Rick Astley just started following me on Instagram.
01:46:00.000 I don't know what it means, but...
01:46:02.000 It means he likes your music.
01:46:05.000 Yeah.
01:46:06.000 What do you think it means?
01:46:07.000 I don't know.
01:46:09.000 Maybe it's not really him.
01:46:11.000 I'm about to get Rick rolled.
01:46:12.000 I sent him a DM, yeah.
01:46:13.000 Imagine that.
01:46:14.000 Like, dude, this becomes a part of a thing that they do to you.
01:46:17.000 You click on links.
01:46:18.000 Him and the guy with the giant hog that's, like, sitting on the edge of the bed.
01:46:21.000 That they would always, you know, like, send you some link about some breakthrough discovery.
01:46:26.000 Like, whoa, what is this guy? 1.00
01:46:27.000 Oh, you son of a bitch. 1.00
01:46:29.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:46:32.000 Poor guy.
01:46:33.000 Him and the Rick Roll thing.
01:46:35.000 Dude, you know what we were thinking about the other day?
01:46:37.000 Just about that Gerardo Rivero special?
01:46:41.000 Which one?
01:46:41.000 The one from the mid-80s.
01:46:43.000 Oh, yeah.
01:46:44.000 Al Capone's tomb.
01:46:46.000 It's one of my earliest TV memories.
01:46:49.000 Somehow at six years old, I knew who Al Capone was.
01:46:53.000 We're going to watch Al Capone's tomb get opened up.
01:46:57.000 Dude, that was like the ultimate Rickroll. 1.00
01:46:59.000 Everybody watched that shit. 1.00
01:47:00.000 It was so stupid. 1.00
01:47:01.000 It was like he crawled through and there was nothing in there. 1.00
01:47:06.000 Yeah.
01:47:06.000 And they did it all live.
01:47:07.000 Absolutely nothing.
01:47:09.000 Geraldo had a gorgeous head of hair, though.
01:47:10.000 We should have known when this aired, we should have known that we were just... 1.00
01:47:15.000 All being fucked with. 0.99
01:47:16.000 Geraldo was the guy who put the Kennedy assassination on television. 1.00
01:47:21.000 The Zapruder tape?
01:47:22.000 Yeah, with Dick Gregory.
01:47:24.000 Dick Gregory brought it to Geraldo.
01:47:26.000 Yeah, it's the first time it ever aired.
01:47:28.000 Like, more than a decade after the assassination.
01:47:30.000 Wow.
01:47:31.000 Yeah.
01:47:32.000 That tape's crazy, man.
01:47:34.000 Yeah.
01:47:36.000 It's nuts.
01:47:37.000 I had Oliver Stone in here, and he was explaining...
01:47:39.000 Oliver Stone is balls deep in the JFK conspiracy.
01:47:45.000 I mean, balls deep.
01:47:47.000 He can quote you different, you know...
01:47:50.000 Different hearings that were held, where the evidence was acquired, why the timeline's wrong in the way they printed into the evidence sheet, and how this guy couldn't have been there because he was three hours away.
01:48:04.000 He can just rattle it off to you.
01:48:07.000 The man's obsessed with it.
01:48:09.000 This is decades after he made a movie about it.
01:48:11.000 It's like being on tour with Pat in the minivan.
01:48:15.000 Did you get into that at all?
01:48:17.000 Did you ever get into the JFK assassination?
01:48:19.000 When I was a kid, yeah.
01:48:20.000 Around that time, the Oliver Stone movie came out.
01:48:23.000 But I think it's weird that...
01:48:24.000 Now, isn't somehow Woody Harrelson's father and Ted Cruz's father implicated somehow?
01:48:30.000 Woody Harrelson's father was definitely implicated.
01:48:32.000 Woody Harrelson's father was a bad dude.
01:48:35.000 And they say that he was one of the guys that was in the grassy knoll.
01:48:38.000 That was the rumor.
01:48:40.000 Woody Harrelson's father, I think he was convicted of some violent offense.
01:48:47.000 What did Rudy Howells' dad do?
01:48:49.000 Convicted of assassinating a federal judge.
01:48:52.000 Yes.
01:48:52.000 So, that's not outside the realm of possibility.
01:48:55.000 It's a guy who got convicted of assassinating a judge?
01:48:58.000 There's this legendary DJ in England who passed away in 2004, but his name was John Peel.
01:49:05.000 And he had this cool program.
01:49:09.000 He would have bands come and record their songs, and it was called a Peel Session, and we were lucky enough to get to meet him and be on his show three or four times, all very early in our career.
01:49:20.000 And he actually died of a heart attack after climbing Montepicchu.
01:49:24.000 But the first time we hung out with him, he was like, you know, I was there when Jack Ruby shot Oswald.
01:49:33.000 He was one of the press guys covering it.
01:49:36.000 Yeah, he was like, it was so surreal.
01:49:38.000 And every time I watched that footage, I was looking for John Peele. 0.82
01:49:42.000 He was there, but I mean, how fucking crazy is that? 0.99
01:49:45.000 He was able to get to him, shoot him. 0.99
01:49:51.000 I mean, it's pretty safe. 0.99
01:49:52.000 Just run right up on him.
01:49:53.000 Dude, it's nuts.
01:49:54.000 Yeah.
01:49:55.000 And then, you know, he went crazy after that.
01:49:57.000 He's also a part of the LSD thing. 1.00
01:49:59.000 LSD shit. 1.00
01:50:00.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:50:00.000 Jolly West visited him in jail. 1.00
01:50:02.000 And afterwards, he was inconsolable, lying on the ground, curled up, talking about people getting burned alive.
01:50:08.000 They dosed him in prison, right?
01:50:10.000 Yeah!
01:50:11.000 Yeah!
01:50:12.000 Yeah, I think that guy was, you know, whatever.
01:50:15.000 They probably told him if you whack Ruby, we'll take care of some debt that you owe or something like that. 1.00
01:50:20.000 Who knows?
01:50:21.000 Or if you whack Oswald, we'll take care of some debt. 0.99
01:50:24.000 And he did it in front of the whole fucking world. 0.99
01:50:27.000 Walked up to Oswald and shot him while he's being held by cops. 1.00
01:50:31.000 It's nuts.
01:50:32.000 Dude, imagine the conspiracies that would be happening if that video wasn't running then.
01:50:37.000 Right.
01:50:37.000 Right.
01:50:38.000 If you couldn't see it on film, the guy would just run up to Lee Harvey Oswald and just shoot him in the stomach. 0.99
01:50:45.000 And then the guy has all these ties to the mob, and he goes fucking completely loony in jail. 0.99
01:50:51.000 And he's dead a short amount of time later. 0.99
01:50:53.000 He's dead from cancer.
01:50:54.000 Yeah, within four or five years.
01:50:56.000 They probably just...
01:50:57.000 What causes cancer?
01:51:01.000 Polonium 238, whatever it is.
01:51:03.000 What do they use in the Russian guys? 1.00
01:51:04.000 Oh, I don't know.
01:51:06.000 I think that's what it is.
01:51:06.000 They poisoned a lot of them, right?
01:51:09.000 But people have been, you know, Putin's enemies have been assassinated openly.
01:51:14.000 It's like a lead isotope, I think, or it's polonium-238.
01:51:19.000 It's like a little micro, like apparently...
01:51:22.000 I read that a lot of lung cancer from smoking, actually it comes from long-term dosage of little bits of polonium, because it actually, small amounts end up in fertilizer. 0.85
01:51:34.000 So you smoke the fucking tobacco, little bits accumulate in your lungs, and it can cause carbon radiation in your lungs. 0.97
01:51:43.000 Really? 1.00
01:51:44.000 Where'd you read this?
01:51:45.000 Dude, I didn't graduate college, so don't, like...
01:51:47.000 I barely got through high school.
01:51:48.000 I'm with you.
01:51:49.000 That sounds really good. 0.99
01:51:50.000 It sounds fucking good. 0.98
01:51:51.000 Print it. 0.97
01:51:52.000 Well, people have always wondered about that with, like, Roundup.
01:51:55.000 Like, that glyphosate stuff.
01:51:57.000 Then, like, if that gets onto crops and even if it's washed off, like, how much of that gets into your body?
01:52:02.000 Is it an insignificant amount?
01:52:05.000 Is it okay in small doses?
01:52:07.000 Or is it never okay?
01:52:08.000 My grandpa died from...
01:52:09.000 He was like a handyman and would do lawns and stuff like that.
01:52:13.000 And he used to mix the fertilizer and the water with his hand every day.
01:52:17.000 Oh, my God.
01:52:18.000 He just got cancer throughout his whole body.
01:52:20.000 I just can imagine.
01:52:21.000 I've heard a bunch of horror stories about dudes who...
01:52:23.000 For years he did that.
01:52:24.000 Oh.
01:52:25.000 Golfers who keep teas in their mouth.
01:52:28.000 Because right where you put your tea, there's people always dumping the grass fertilizer mixture.
01:52:33.000 It's just all heavy metals.
01:52:35.000 And people who've been golfing for a long time hit their ball, put their tea in their mouth to get...
01:52:42.000 Lip cancer or gum cancer.
01:52:43.000 Really? 1.00
01:52:44.000 Oh, fuck. 1.00
01:52:44.000 Really? 1.00
01:52:45.000 Oh my god.
01:52:46.000 Oh, that's horrible.
01:52:47.000 That's crazy.
01:52:48.000 But it makes sense.
01:52:49.000 I knew a dude who lived next to a golf course and he got bone cancer.
01:52:52.000 And they had to replace his thigh bone with, like, his femur with, like, a chunk of metal, like an artificial metal bone.
01:53:00.000 And a bunch of people in his neighborhood got cancer.
01:53:02.000 And they traced it to pesticides in the golf course leaking into the water supplies.
01:53:08.000 Oh, for sure.
01:53:09.000 This dude we grew up with, he got bone cancer, like, in his knee when he was in his mid-20s.
01:53:17.000 And, you know, the doctor, he had this one doctor finally, he's like, dude, like, we're going to do a panel, like, on you for heavy metals because this is really strange.
01:53:26.000 And he had, like, large doses of cadmium or something in his bones.
01:53:31.000 And he's like, man, did you, like, grow up...
01:53:34.000 Near like a gold mine or something?
01:53:36.000 He's like, no, man.
01:53:37.000 And then he was talking to his mom about it.
01:53:40.000 His mom's like, actually, we lived on a commune when you were a baby for like a year in Colorado that used to be a gold mine. 0.99
01:53:48.000 So like they were drinking this water where they had already filtered in all the heavy metals and apparently he got like serious dosage of some rare earth shit. 0.99
01:53:58.000 Wow. 0.99
01:53:59.000 Wow.
01:53:59.000 That's what I wonder about, like, with all the...
01:54:01.000 I mean, like I said, I never went to college, really, but I wonder, like, what...
01:54:06.000 You know, with all the electric vehicles and, like, you know...
01:54:11.000 Getting all these rare earth minerals together, all this lithium and cadmium and these batteries.
01:54:15.000 I don't know. 0.99
01:54:18.000 I wonder what happens eventually to that shit. 0.99
01:54:23.000 The weird thing is that people want to say it's zero emission. 0.99
01:54:29.000 This idea that that's the solution, that that's going to fix it for us if we all have electric cars.
01:54:36.000 Because you've got to have to power that electricity.
01:54:38.000 Until we figure out how to make clean electrical power, I mean, if you have clean electrical power, it's like modern nuclear, and it works really well, and it's relatively less toxic.
01:54:50.000 I mean, you have some nuclear waste that they have to dispose of, but apparently they're pretty good at that now, and if they can make a reactor that can function and not go down, if they can do that, that's clean.
01:55:01.000 And then you have an electric car, and then you're clean. 0.92
01:55:03.000 But otherwise, you have to find some way to make that fucking power to juice up that battery. 0.92
01:55:09.000 So it's like, how are you juicing up that battery? 0.96
01:55:11.000 Because you're still using up a lot of power to do that.
01:55:14.000 So where's the power coming from? 0.97
01:55:15.000 So if it's coming from a place that's sustainable, if it's electric and it's coming from the wind and turbines and fucking solar panels, great. 0.97
01:55:23.000 That's awesome. 0.97
01:55:23.000 That seems perfect. 0.97
01:55:24.000 But what if it's coming from a coal plant?
01:55:27.000 Like, hey. 1.00
01:55:28.000 The fuck? 1.00
01:55:29.000 This is the opposite of good. 1.00
01:55:32.000 Those fucking places, like, I had a climate scientist on, he was talking about this area in Indiana that has, like, a bunch of coal-fired power plants in the area, and these people, they just have, like, a thin layer of this shit on their car every day. 0.99
01:55:47.000 Like, this dust that's in the air. 1.00
01:55:49.000 Hmm.
01:55:49.000 Where we're from in Akron, Ohio, it was the rubber capital of the world.
01:55:55.000 Goodyear was based there.
01:55:56.000 Goodyear is still based there.
01:55:57.000 Goodyear, Firestone, B.F. Goodrich, General Tire, Kelly Tire, Mohawk Tire.
01:56:03.000 Every tire company was in Akron.
01:56:05.000 We went to Firestone High School.
01:56:07.000 How did that happen?
01:56:08.000 How did it become a tire mega?
01:56:12.000 I don't know.
01:56:12.000 Maybe it was...
01:56:14.000 I don't know.
01:56:15.000 I don't really know.
01:56:17.000 But that's why my family's there.
01:56:18.000 My grandfather, he worked in the R&D. He's Vice President of Research and Development for the Polymers of Goodyear, working on like...
01:56:27.000 We figured out how to keep polymers viscous enough to strand it into a plastic bottle, essentially.
01:56:34.000 That's what was going on.
01:56:35.000 But my dad said as a kid, they would wake up and the whole city would just be covered in soot.
01:56:41.000 And so when we were starting the band, There was, like, the cheapest kind of place you could find to be loud was these old rubber factories.
01:56:49.000 And there was this one that we rented a room in.
01:56:52.000 It was an old BF Goodrich...
01:56:53.000 No, it was an old General...
01:56:54.000 General.
01:56:55.000 It was an old General Tire building.
01:56:57.000 And, like, you know, this was, like, a building that's, like, a million square feet built in, like, turn of the century...
01:57:03.000 Full of asbestos and whatever else. 1.00
01:57:07.000 Yeah, scary shit. 1.00
01:57:08.000 Scary shit. 1.00
01:57:09.000 You would walk up the stairs and I'd be like, that doesn't feel right. 1.00
01:57:12.000 You could feel the thick air.
01:57:16.000 And we made a record there aptly titled Rubber Factory.
01:57:21.000 A bunch of geniuses.
01:57:24.000 But...
01:57:26.000 It was crazy because there's the old boardrooms and we had access to this whole abandoned essentially building where we would like string microphone cables together and we'd like set an amp at one side of the room and then microphone like hundreds of feet away to get the natural kind of reverb.
01:57:42.000 But the craziest thing was like around the corner from the area we hung out in, there was this just like exploded laboratory, like straight out of like Rick and Morty or something. 0.99
01:57:51.000 It was like, wait, what the fuck? 0.99
01:57:54.000 What is going on in here? 1.00
01:57:55.000 There were eyewash stations.
01:57:57.000 Someone had just blown their face off.
01:58:00.000 And then you'd walk down this scary-ass hallway that was just...
01:58:04.000 Neither of us wanted to be there at night.
01:58:07.000 It was so scary.
01:58:08.000 It was scary.
01:58:09.000 And there's this little, so like there's the more industrial section of the building down at the other end, and there are these holes like through the floor.
01:58:17.000 And this is like foot-deep concrete.
01:58:19.000 You can see down that there were like thousands and thousands of tires in like basically like Gerardo's like, Al Capone's vault of tires.
01:58:27.000 There was like this hidden cache of unsold tires from before.
01:58:31.000 They just left in the building.
01:58:34.000 They tore that building down like a couple years ago.
01:58:37.000 We used to eat at this diner right across the street from it.
01:58:39.000 What was it called?
01:58:40.000 It was called The Lamp Post.
01:58:42.000 And we were the only people in there.
01:58:44.000 We never saw anybody else in there.
01:58:46.000 Dude, it might have been like a...
01:58:47.000 Ghost world.
01:58:47.000 It could have been a mirage.
01:58:48.000 Ghost world.
01:58:48.000 Ghost world.
01:58:50.000 That's what it feels like.
01:58:51.000 The building's not even there anymore.
01:58:53.000 Yeah.
01:58:54.000 When you go into an area, like an industrialized area where the buildings are fucked, like Detroit, when everything's like shattered and you're driving through abandoned lots.
01:59:04.000 I mean, we came from Akron, which was crazy, but the first time we went to Detroit, it was so eye-opening.
01:59:10.000 There's that one building downtown where you just see directly through it because just all the windows are blown out.
01:59:15.000 It's a skyscraper.
01:59:16.000 We didn't know anybody in Detroit, and we were just driving around during the afternoon because, you know, we got...
01:59:22.000 We would go to the shows like hours too early, just because we didn't know what we were doing.
01:59:26.000 And we'd end up being in downtown where nobody is, driving around all day long, looking at all this destruction.
01:59:33.000 It was crazy.
01:59:35.000 Detroit feels like it looks.
01:59:36.000 Dan got on stage that night and was like, Like, how do you guys live here?
01:59:42.000 Or something. 1.00
01:59:43.000 And everyone was like, fuck you. 1.00
01:59:45.000 Left the room. 1.00
01:59:48.000 Yeah, they turned around and just walked away.
01:59:50.000 It feels like a place that used to be hopping and then got crushed.
01:59:56.000 Center of the universe.
01:59:57.000 But they do have some comeback now.
02:00:00.000 I love Detroit.
02:00:00.000 They have like Shinola, the company's there.
02:00:03.000 They have a lot of people that are proud of Detroit.
02:00:04.000 It's coming back in a big way.
02:00:05.000 The buildings are beautiful.
02:00:06.000 But it's weird having those crushed dreams all around you.
02:00:11.000 That's just a weirdness that's unavoidable about Detroit.
02:00:14.000 It's the Rust Belt, man.
02:00:14.000 That's how we grew up.
02:00:16.000 All of the cities, Steubenville, Akron, Pittsburgh.
02:00:19.000 You ever see Roger and Me?
02:00:21.000 Oh yeah.
02:00:21.000 It's a great documentary about that.
02:00:23.000 You're forced to watch that when you're a kid in Akron.
02:00:26.000 When they're out there grilling rabbits.
02:00:29.000 It's weird how you see exactly what caused it.
02:00:32.000 You're like, wow, what must that have been like for someone who moved there and moved your family there and thought, this is where we live, everything's great, everything's going great, and then companies start pulling out.
02:00:42.000 That's what we grew up in, because when we were kids, we would go down, my dad would take us, my dad wrote for the Akron Beacon Journal, the newspaper, which was this prestigious newspaper, started by John S. Knight, who went on to start Knight Ritter, and he had an office there, you know, this guy, the legendary newspaper guy,
02:00:58.000 and this was, you know, the newspaper won, like, Pulitzer Prizes, and I just remember people just getting laid off from there.
02:01:06.000 Us going downtown and downtown Akron when we were kids, there was a pawn shop and a porn theater.
02:01:11.000 That was what downtown was.
02:01:13.000 The downtown Akron adult cinema.
02:01:17.000 Yeah, I got jumped on Main Street one time.
02:01:20.000 In front of the bar that we play at. 1.00
02:01:22.000 We just played the show and he got his ass kicked. 1.00
02:01:25.000 Insane. 1.00
02:01:26.000 That whole area used to be one of the richest cities in the country.
02:01:30.000 That's what was cool for us, because we got to exploit that in terms of musical equipment.
02:01:38.000 Because there was such a middle class there in the 60s and 70s, that by the time we got into music in the mid-90s, everyone had grown up and sold their instruments.
02:01:47.000 So you go down to the little music shop, and you could find a vintage Fender guitar for a couple hundred bucks.
02:01:54.000 You would find these prizes.
02:01:56.000 And every kid that we knew who got into music had their prize thing.
02:02:00.000 Oh yeah, this guy has this 1965 Telecaster he got for like 100 bucks.
02:02:08.000 Dan had this cool amp, this old Ampeg Gemini 1 that was like this magical sounding amplifier he got probably for Peanuts.
02:02:16.000 And it was the whole sound of the band for the first two records really, that amp.
02:02:21.000 It's just crazy that one industry could just completely cripple a city if it decides to move out.
02:02:28.000 Oh, yeah.
02:02:28.000 It's pretty wild that they can just do that.
02:02:30.000 They can just pull the plug on the economics of the city.
02:02:34.000 It's pretty wild that they would do that, too.
02:02:36.000 I wonder if they knew the ultimate result, whether or not they would have done it.
02:02:40.000 Well, I mean, the unions were getting kind of crazy.
02:02:44.000 In what way?
02:02:47.000 The jobs that you were...
02:02:48.000 I mean, it's not crazy, but the demands were high and they were being met until finally they realized they didn't have to meet them.
02:02:53.000 But I know that, like, the work week in Akron at a rubber factory was 36 hours.
02:02:59.000 It was six-hour days, six days a week.
02:03:01.000 And you were basically guaranteed, like, the equivalent of 70 grand a year.
02:03:08.000 We're good to go.
02:03:25.000 So they had six days a week you were committed to work, six hours a day?
02:03:30.000 That was their move?
02:03:31.000 So they could get more shifts in.
02:03:32.000 The union demanded that, so they could have more workers pay more union dues.
02:03:37.000 Did you have to work six days a week?
02:03:39.000 That was the work week.
02:03:40.000 36 hours.
02:03:42.000 So that way it allowed them to have four shifts a day rather than three.
02:03:46.000 So there were all these cool bars when we were kids that were abandoned.
02:03:49.000 They were out of business but they were designed for the workers who got off at 6 in the morning.
02:03:55.000 Wow. 0.58
02:03:56.000 How fucking depressing would that be to be stuck in a job like that where you're working six days a week? 0.99
02:04:01.000 Making bank though. 0.98
02:04:04.000 So is that the problem?
02:04:05.000 Is it the union workers wanted too much money to make the cars and that's why they pulled them out?
02:04:11.000 I don't know.
02:04:11.000 I think it was the unions themselves that were getting overly demanding, you know.
02:04:16.000 But, you know, of course, you know, unions are important, you know. 0.99
02:04:23.000 Without it, people get fucked. 0.99
02:04:25.000 I know, like, right now, people are trying to unionize Amazon and watch, like, people are getting fucked trying to do that. 1.00
02:04:30.000 But I think that you have to. 0.88
02:04:31.000 There's just a fine line, you know, of what, Because there was an out.
02:04:36.000 Goodyear had an out.
02:04:37.000 Or Firestone had an out. 1.00
02:04:40.000 They could ultimately say, we're going to make this shit in Mexico. 0.99
02:04:44.000 It was a bipartisan thing that happened. 1.00
02:04:49.000 It was Republicans and Democrats both basically fucking the worker who allowed those companies to leave. 0.98
02:04:57.000 You know? 0.98
02:04:58.000 And so once those tires were first manufactured in the South, then they manufactured in Mexico and other places, and it got rid of all the manufacturing jobs, you know?
02:05:09.000 But if they had it, I guess tires would be like $1,000 a tire now or something.
02:05:14.000 Well, maybe.
02:05:15.000 But what is going on in these countries where they set up shop?
02:05:18.000 I mean...
02:05:19.000 No one asked about that.
02:05:20.000 Yeah. 0.55
02:05:20.000 How bad is it fucking up their environment? 0.55
02:05:22.000 Oh, my friend worked for Ralph Lauren.
02:05:26.000 Doing a gene, signing jeans and stuff.
02:05:29.000 And they did all their dyeing and stuff in Texas, or in China. 0.94
02:05:33.000 He said it was like fucking so toxic and like the waste and he said the conditions of the factories are just so crazy and you know like suicide watch on people and That's one of the wildest things, is that all of our phones come from those places. 0.95
02:05:51.000 All of our phones that everybody has. 0.98
02:05:53.000 That NBA dude, he tweeted some support for Hong Kong.
02:05:59.000 What was that whole thing?
02:06:00.000 A Houston Rockets guy?
02:06:02.000 A coach or something?
02:06:05.000 Tweeted some support for Taiwan or Hong Kong or something.
02:06:10.000 When LeBron said he didn't know what he was talking about.
02:06:14.000 Do you remember this?
02:06:15.000 I do vaguely, but I don't follow basketball, but Jamie follows it closely.
02:06:18.000 Do you remember what happened?
02:06:21.000 Sorta.
02:06:21.000 I don't really remember exactly what went down.
02:06:23.000 I do know that LeBron, I heard from someone that works with him, he pulls down tens and tens of millions of dollars a year from Chinese sales of basketball shoes in China.
02:06:34.000 Not just the manufacturing, but in China.
02:06:36.000 There's such a huge market there.
02:06:39.000 Well, you know, we've seen that in movies, right?
02:06:43.000 They've altered movies.
02:06:44.000 They altered Doctor Strange to change the female or to change his master.
02:06:49.000 The teacher of magic was a Tibetan guy in the comic books.
02:06:53.000 They made it a female who was like European. 1.00
02:06:56.000 Right.
02:06:58.000 Like they just completely changed the whole thing because they don't recognize Tibet.
02:07:03.000 Right.
02:07:05.000 They were offended by having a Tibetan, which is what it was initially.
02:07:10.000 So they have to change the scripts of comic books to appease this market that makes them shitloads of money. 0.99
02:07:18.000 It's fucking weird, man. 0.96
02:07:21.000 It is weird. 0.98
02:07:22.000 But all of our phones are made there.
02:07:24.000 Like, if you think of all of our phones...
02:07:25.000 And we're ready to do a soundtrack for them, too.
02:07:30.000 Apple, holler at your boy. 0.97
02:07:32.000 I was taking through the jean capital of the world.
02:07:34.000 This picture is crazy.
02:07:36.000 I don't know if that's exactly what it's saying it is, but it might be.
02:07:39.000 It looks like it's jean dye going through a river.
02:07:42.000 Denim pollution in...
02:07:44.000 How do you say that word?
02:07:45.000 Xingtang? 0.76
02:07:47.000 Xingtang? 0.76
02:07:47.000 The blue jean capital of the world. 0.76
02:07:50.000 That's fucked. 1.00
02:07:52.000 Yeah, this article said, uh, it's so polluted they can't give away houses. 1.00
02:08:00.000 That is crazy.
02:08:01.000 Like, is that what it takes to make nice jeans?
02:08:05.000 Like, when people are buying jeans, and they're buying jeans, look at the low cost of these jeans.
02:08:10.000 Is that what we're paying for? 0.98
02:08:11.000 Are we fucking poisoning some part of the world? 0.98
02:08:15.000 Instead of just having ethical manufacturing? 0.98
02:08:17.000 I don't know, man, but buying this house in South Carolina, you know, you start realizing, like, how, you know, it's like the first time I've really, you know, seen, like, you know, how extensive slave labor was in the U.S., you know, it's insane.
02:08:32.000 It's insane.
02:08:33.000 I mean, like, the rice, the rice, You know, Charleston back in the day. 0.99
02:08:37.000 I mean, fucking hell. 0.99
02:08:39.000 They grew a lot of indigo, and dude, it was like fucking crazy to see what the fuck was going on. 0.99
02:08:46.000 I mean, do you want to talk about one of the scariest aspects of human history? 0.99
02:08:49.000 Is that for as long as we can remember, people have been stealing people and forcing people to work for them.
02:08:57.000 From the beginning of time.
02:08:59.000 It's crazy. 1.00
02:09:00.000 Slavery's in the fucking Bible. 1.00
02:09:02.000 You talk about slavery. 1.00
02:09:05.000 It's just a horrible aspect of human beings that they're capable of doing that to other people.
02:09:10.000 I was golfing.
02:09:12.000 There's this cool little golf course on Charleston Harbor, and it's just huge shipping container ships, whatever they're called.
02:09:23.000 Cargo ships.
02:09:24.000 Cargo ships. 1.00
02:09:25.000 Giant fucking ships coming in. 1.00
02:09:28.000 And I was golfing with a buddy of mine who used to be Coast Guard Intelligence. 0.99
02:09:32.000 And out of nowhere, he's like, oh man, you'd be shocked if you knew how many people were on that boat right now.
02:09:37.000 And I was like, what do you mean, like the crew?
02:09:39.000 He's like, no dude. 1.00
02:09:41.000 In the fucking containers. 1.00
02:09:43.000 He's like, dude, it's shocking. 1.00
02:09:46.000 He's like, I bet there's over a dozen people on that boat right now in those containers.
02:09:51.000 So there's always people in the container.
02:09:52.000 That's what he was saying, dude.
02:09:53.000 And do they die in there sometimes?
02:09:55.000 Yeah.
02:09:56.000 Oh, Jesus Christ.
02:09:58.000 So they just take the risk.
02:09:59.000 How long is the boat ride? 0.99
02:10:01.000 Well, pre-COVID it would be a couple weeks, but then shit got, I don't know. 0.99
02:10:05.000 Oh, boy. 0.98
02:10:06.000 And so no one opened the crates.
02:10:08.000 I hadn't even thought about that.
02:10:08.000 Oh, my God.
02:10:09.000 No one opened the crates because they were stuck at sea and they starved to death in the box.
02:10:14.000 That's what he was saying. 1.00
02:10:16.000 Holy shit, dude. 1.00
02:10:18.000 I know. 1.00
02:10:18.000 Now every time I see one, I'm like, ay, ay, ay, man. 1.00
02:10:20.000 Oh my god.
02:10:22.000 Imagine that's the way you go out, starving to death, in a box, waiting to go to a better life. 1.00
02:10:28.000 Fuck that. 1.00
02:10:29.000 Fuck. 1.00
02:10:31.000 The shit timing of that. 1.00
02:10:33.000 Holy fuck. 1.00
02:10:35.000 That's crazy. 1.00
02:10:37.000 That's one of the weirdest things about the world today, right?
02:10:41.000 Is that, like, the world today that we think of the world today is just right here. 0.94
02:10:45.000 Like, there's a lot of parts of the world that are fucked sideways. 0.91
02:10:49.000 The apocalypse has happened already. 0.94
02:10:51.000 It's just not happening right here.
02:10:52.000 Oh, yeah.
02:10:53.000 But it's in spots. 0.99
02:10:56.000 I see, you know, of course, on social media, this, like, people's shit talking to the United States or whatever. 0.99
02:11:03.000 I'm just like, aye, aye, aye, man. 0.99
02:11:06.000 Go move near where that blue jean factory is fucking changing the river. 0.97
02:11:10.000 Clearly, you haven't traveled enough to know. 0.97
02:11:14.000 Of course, the U.S. is flawed, as every place can be, but, dude, we were very lucky to have been born in this country.
02:11:22.000 And people wanted to die, sit on a boat for weeks to get here.
02:11:27.000 Yeah, the amount of opportunity exists here is unprecedented.
02:11:31.000 Yeah, the people who used to sit on boats for weeks going to China, they would say they got Shanghai'd.
02:11:36.000 You know about this?
02:11:37.000 The people, like, they would, like, in Portland, Oregon, like, they would, people at the bar, they would, like, slip them a mickey, and they'd have, like, these trap doors at the bar, and, like, pssh!
02:11:47.000 Spanish fly, open the trap door, boom, they'd wake up, they'd be on a boat to China working, forced, and they call it getting Shanghai'd. 0.99
02:11:55.000 Whoa! 0.71
02:11:56.000 You've never heard about that?
02:11:57.000 I did hear about that, but I completely forgot about that term, Shanghai'd, until you just brought it up.
02:12:02.000 I haven't heard that in years.
02:12:03.000 But I never really put it together that that's what it was.
02:12:06.000 That that was like a real network of human slavery.
02:12:10.000 Yeah, forced labor.
02:12:14.000 China has a crazy history of that. 0.90
02:12:17.000 And here we are bitching about not putting a song in a mayonnaise commercial.
02:12:24.000 Oh, man.
02:12:28.000 Did you guys write all this stuff during COVID? Yeah, we both got COVID making the record.
02:12:34.000 Oh, really?
02:12:35.000 Mm-hmm.
02:12:37.000 Who was Patient Zero?
02:12:39.000 Dan went down first.
02:12:40.000 Yeah, I got it first.
02:12:42.000 Hit me for a couple weeks. 1.00
02:12:44.000 Damn. 1.00
02:12:45.000 I had a fever for like two weeks. 0.99
02:12:46.000 What time of the year was this?
02:12:48.000 When was this around?
02:12:49.000 What was that?
02:12:49.000 You got it end of, it was end of August.
02:12:53.000 Of this past year?
02:12:54.000 Yeah.
02:12:55.000 So you got the Delta.
02:12:56.000 Yeah, I hit the Delta.
02:12:57.000 Yeah.
02:12:58.000 I made him some soup and he was like, I think I can taste it.
02:13:01.000 This is after like two weeks. 1.00
02:13:02.000 And I was like, what the fuck? 1.00
02:13:05.000 And I got the shit too. 1.00
02:13:06.000 My whole family got it. 1.00
02:13:07.000 Did you do any treatments for it?
02:13:09.000 I tried to.
02:13:10.000 I couldn't get any doctors to help me.
02:13:13.000 Really?
02:13:13.000 Mm-hmm.
02:13:15.000 Yeah.
02:13:16.000 It was like the only person that I could really get on the phone to help me was a pharmacist.
02:13:22.000 I was texting directly with the pharmacist.
02:13:25.000 Really?
02:13:26.000 Yeah.
02:13:26.000 And the monoclonals were around.
02:13:28.000 Yeah, I was trying to get them.
02:13:30.000 I couldn't get them.
02:13:31.000 Why wouldn't they give them to you?
02:13:33.000 I don't know.
02:13:35.000 They tried to...
02:13:36.000 One of my doctors who I was with tried to give me some weird...
02:13:40.000 What was that medicine he tried to give me?
02:13:41.000 It was for some strains.
02:13:44.000 It was for something else.
02:13:45.000 It was for high cholesterol.
02:13:46.000 Yeah, it was a cholesterol medication.
02:13:48.000 He's like, you know, we're not going to give you that monoclonal.
02:13:51.000 I can't do that, but I can give you this cholesterol drug.
02:13:55.000 We're not going to give you a thing that's going to help you, even though we have it right here.
02:13:58.000 Yeah.
02:14:00.000 When has that ever happened before?
02:14:02.000 Exactly.
02:14:02.000 When has there ever been a time where you go, the medicine that's going to make me better is right over there.
02:14:06.000 Can I get that?
02:14:06.000 Nope, we can't give it to you.
02:14:07.000 I couldn't get it.
02:14:08.000 So I spent two weeks with a fever.
02:14:10.000 I mean, is that a supply issue?
02:14:12.000 What is that?
02:14:13.000 No, this was early on.
02:14:14.000 But I mean, is it a supply issue where they want to make sure that the most vulnerable people get it only? 0.99
02:14:20.000 Is that what it is, or is this bullshit? 0.99
02:14:22.000 What's going on with that? 1.00
02:14:23.000 It could have been supply because in Florida they were giving it to people in drive-thrus and shit. 0.99
02:14:29.000 Yeah, Florida was giving it to everybody. 0.98
02:14:31.000 My friend Ari got it down there and they gave it to him.
02:14:34.000 Yeah, I was talking to my friends in Florida and they'd all gotten it and got treatment and were better really fast.
02:14:41.000 Florida had a real open policy and it was all free too.
02:14:44.000 You could just go into these clinics, these monoclonal antibody clinics.
02:14:48.000 I'm pretty sure they're free.
02:14:48.000 They were doing like intra-muscular shots.
02:14:52.000 Yeah, it was eye-opening to say the least.
02:14:55.000 It's creepy.
02:14:56.000 Yeah.
02:14:58.000 Yeah, I got lucky that I got good healthcare, but I got it in the same time frame as you did, so I got the Delta too.
02:15:06.000 But, you know, I just don't like the idea that that can happen again.
02:15:14.000 I lost my spell for like a...
02:15:18.000 Eight weeks.
02:15:20.000 It was nuts.
02:15:21.000 Did you try alpha-lipoic acid?
02:15:24.000 Uh-uh.
02:15:25.000 Andrew Huberman said that alpha-lipoic acid seems to show some promise in alleviating some of the symptoms of not having a sense of smell or taste.
02:15:34.000 Let me check it out. 0.99
02:15:35.000 Because my smell is still fucked up. 0.99
02:15:37.000 Really? 1.00
02:15:37.000 Still fucked up. 1.00
02:15:38.000 Here and there, yeah. 0.99
02:15:41.000 Yeah, my friend Ryan Sickler, stand-up comedian, he's been like 18 months, no smell.
02:15:48.000 Dude, the weird thing for me about COVID was that every day I felt like a new and distinct symptom, just like mildly.
02:15:59.000 You know what I mean?
02:15:59.000 I felt like the heart palpitations, I felt like the brain fog.
02:16:04.000 I felt all of this shit. 1.00
02:16:05.000 It was nuts. 1.00
02:16:06.000 It's a weird disease.
02:16:07.000 Yeah.
02:16:08.000 It's like an alien disease.
02:16:11.000 It feels like it was made in a lab.
02:16:13.000 It does.
02:16:14.000 It definitely.
02:16:15.000 I never felt anything like it, and it was bizarre.
02:16:18.000 And also, like, you know, I looked up this, like, how many people, you know, what other diseases cause total loss of smell and taste?
02:16:24.000 And they're like, a sinus infection.
02:16:26.000 I was like, I've never fucking heard of that. 0.63
02:16:28.000 My dad can't smell and the reason why he can't smell is because he walked into a door and broke his nose and then the doctor went to correct it and like severed a nerve and he's never been able to taste since. 0.98
02:16:42.000 That's the only person I ever knew who couldn't smell was my dad.
02:16:45.000 And you know how the way the doctor tested my dad's sense of smell is he picked up his ashtray and said, you smell that?
02:16:53.000 He's like, nope.
02:16:54.000 He's like, yeah.
02:16:55.000 I don't think I can be able to smell again.
02:16:58.000 But I mean, have you heard of any other diseases that cause that?
02:17:01.000 Never.
02:17:01.000 Never heard of one.
02:17:01.000 Never heard of one.
02:17:03.000 And it's like so prevalent.
02:17:04.000 I know so many people that lost their sense of smell. 1.00
02:17:06.000 It's a creepy ass fucking disease. 0.99
02:17:08.000 I just took the antibody test and mine's still alive and kicking. 1.00
02:17:12.000 Strong.
02:17:14.000 Strong.
02:17:16.000 Well, next time you guys do it, if you get sick again, hopefully it'll be easier.
02:17:20.000 The new version of it seems to be quite a bit milder.
02:17:25.000 But everybody keeps talking about it like it's going to come around again.
02:17:27.000 They're stirring up the flames, stirring up the embers of fear.
02:17:33.000 I was on a plane when they...
02:17:38.000 Announced that the mask mandate on planes was gone and it was really funny to see like how people took to that.
02:17:45.000 Did they cheer?
02:17:46.000 Half the people did and another half like...
02:17:49.000 Full panic.
02:17:50.000 Full panic.
02:17:52.000 I think everybody that had had it already was like, thank God.
02:17:55.000 We didn't travel much, and Nashville opened up very early.
02:17:58.000 It was like there were no masks anywhere, especially when you got right out of the city.
02:18:02.000 No one wore masks.
02:18:03.000 Same thing as Texas.
02:18:05.000 Yeah, you get outside of Austin, and it's like they didn't care.
02:18:09.000 They acted normal.
02:18:11.000 Yeah.
02:18:11.000 Whether it's good or bad, because a lot of those folks are not that healthy.
02:18:15.000 It's just...
02:18:16.000 That's what was like crushing, like, my friend was the CEO of a hospital near Nashville, and it was all people from outside Nashville with pre-existing conditions taking up all the beds. 1.00
02:18:29.000 You know what I mean? 0.99
02:18:29.000 Well, a lot of fucking people have pre-existing conditions. 0.99
02:18:33.000 That's one of the things that this exposed. 1.00
02:18:35.000 You know?
02:18:36.000 It's a bummer, man.
02:18:37.000 We all have lead poisoning.
02:18:39.000 That's crazy.
02:18:40.000 But it makes sense.
02:18:42.000 I have a buddy who lived in Brooklyn for a while, and he was trying to grow vegetables in his backyard, but he's a really smart dude, so he dug up the soil and had it tested and just filled with lead.
02:18:51.000 Oh, God.
02:18:52.000 So they had to figure out how to get the lead out.
02:18:56.000 There's certain plants that you can grow to let the lead out.
02:18:59.000 There's certain plants you can grow that will help extract it from the soil.
02:19:03.000 Get the lead out.
02:19:05.000 That's what they'd say on the radio in Northeastern Ohio.
02:19:08.000 For Led Zeppelin.
02:19:09.000 There was a half hour show every day when we were growing up called Let the Lead Out.
02:19:12.000 Led Zeppelin for a half hour. 0.99
02:19:14.000 Damn. 0.99
02:19:15.000 Rock and roll was so prevalent in Northeastern Ohio. 1.00
02:19:18.000 That's another one.
02:19:19.000 Imagine being able to see Zeppelin in their prime.
02:19:23.000 What that must have been like.
02:19:24.000 Ugh.
02:19:25.000 What's the documentary Song Remains the Same?
02:19:27.000 Is that it?
02:19:27.000 That's like their feature-like films.
02:19:30.000 I find those band-made films in the 70s impossible to watch.
02:19:33.000 Yeah?
02:19:34.000 But they put out a live concert in like 2003 called How the West Was Won.
02:19:42.000 There's footage from them at Royal Albert Hall around the same time as that Black Sabbath footage, like 1970, 1969. Fucking insane. 0.97
02:19:49.000 So good, man. 0.99
02:19:51.000 Yeah, Pat got me into them.
02:19:52.000 I hadn't listened to...
02:19:55.000 Led Zeppelin.
02:19:55.000 I never listened to Zeppelin.
02:19:56.000 My dad never played it.
02:19:57.000 I never really heard it too much. 0.98
02:19:59.000 I fucking grew up with Led Zeppelin. 0.99
02:20:02.000 I'm white trash from Massachusetts. 0.99
02:20:05.000 When I was in high school, that's where I went to high school, and that's where all the... 0.93
02:20:08.000 I mean, everybody loved Zeppelin.
02:20:10.000 It was just Robert Plant posters on people's walls, and everyone knew how to do the little different insignias and put them on your notebooks.
02:20:20.000 I had a Led Zeppelin poster on my wall. 0.58
02:20:24.000 My friends used to give me some shit about liking Led Zeppelin because it was like classic. 0.96
02:20:29.000 It wasn't hip, you know? 0.99
02:20:33.000 Well, you're younger than me.
02:20:35.000 I'm older than you.
02:20:35.000 When I was a kid, it was just 10 years ago.
02:20:39.000 Yeah.
02:20:40.000 Which is kind of crazy.
02:20:41.000 We would listen to like, even like old muscle cars.
02:20:44.000 They were just 20 years ago.
02:20:45.000 It wasn't that long ago.
02:20:47.000 Oh, yeah.
02:20:48.000 I have a 65 Mustang, and I'm constantly thinking about how the car is only 15 years older than me, but it feels like it's from another era.
02:20:58.000 It's from another era.
02:20:59.000 It's a wagon.
02:21:00.000 It's like wagon wheels.
02:21:01.000 It's like so indecisible, like what's happening on the road.
02:21:05.000 It's like you're not getting good feedback at all.
02:21:07.000 No idea what's going on.
02:21:08.000 No idea.
02:21:08.000 And it's just so powerful.
02:21:10.000 Consider how rickety it kind of feels, how powerful it is. 0.98
02:21:13.000 Ridiculous. 0.79
02:21:15.000 But beautiful. 0.98
02:21:16.000 It's like a rolling piece of art.
02:21:18.000 Yeah, for sure.
02:21:19.000 But there's something that would go well with your music.
02:21:23.000 Like a 65 Mustang and your music.
02:21:25.000 A dope 65 Mustang and your music go together.
02:21:28.000 Nice.
02:21:29.000 I find a nice 1988 Ford Tempo in our music.
02:21:34.000 Dude, you never see those things.
02:21:35.000 That was my first car.
02:21:36.000 It was a Ford Tempo.
02:21:37.000 Oh, yeah?
02:21:37.000 It had a stick shift.
02:21:39.000 Nice.
02:21:40.000 Ford Tempo.
02:21:41.000 You could really let it out, you know?
02:21:43.000 Dude, those cars did not last.
02:21:44.000 I put 12s in the trunk.
02:21:47.000 Within 10 years, those cars were all dust.
02:21:50.000 In fact, I have a friend who used to tell this story, and this is like early 2000s, so the car would only be like 12 years old.
02:21:58.000 He's like, I was merging onto 77, which is like the highway in Akron.
02:22:03.000 And I swear to God, like a mint condition Mercury Topaz merged on next to me.
02:22:08.000 It was immaculate.
02:22:10.000 And it just took off and just disappeared. 0.98
02:22:12.000 But it was like the ghost car, the immaculate fucking Ford Tempo. 0.94
02:22:16.000 Someone's keeping one well-kept in their garage. 0.94
02:22:19.000 That's back in the day when they had three cars that were all the same.
02:22:22.000 It was like the Mercury Sable.
02:22:23.000 There were like three cars that were all exactly the same.
02:22:26.000 Right, because Mercury was owned by Ford and they just had different names for things. 1.00
02:22:29.000 Yeah, they're all just pieces of shit. 1.00
02:22:32.000 There were so many bad cars back then. 1.00
02:22:34.000 It's kind of interesting that the earlier eras up until 1970-ish is when people collected cars.
02:22:41.000 Those are still classic today.
02:22:42.000 They were classic 10 years ago. 0.89
02:22:44.000 But nobody gives a fuck about those 90s cars. 0.98
02:22:47.000 Get them out of here. 0.94
02:22:48.000 80s cars?
02:22:50.000 Get out of here with those 80s cars.
02:22:51.000 I've got an 85 Cadillac Seville Slantback.
02:22:54.000 I love it so much.
02:22:57.000 If you want to have a 90s car, what's good in the 90s?
02:23:01.000 Well, I guess Porsches.
02:23:02.000 I mean, we grew up in the era of hip-hop with the cars, the Forens, with the rims.
02:23:08.000 Yeah.
02:23:09.000 Have you seen those guys at BBS, boys?
02:23:12.000 They make those cars basically like dream cars from rap videos.
02:23:15.000 They make them now.
02:23:16.000 Oh, boy.
02:23:16.000 They're getting huge doing that.
02:23:18.000 And it's so amazing seeing it.
02:23:21.000 I get so...
02:23:23.000 It brings up so many memories, you know?
02:23:25.000 Those were the cars I wanted when I was, like, in high school.
02:23:28.000 Yeah, you're always, like, a prisoner to the cars that you were really into when you were in high school.
02:23:32.000 That's what was popular.
02:23:33.000 It was on the videos.
02:23:34.000 It was all flashy and, like, looked amazing.
02:23:38.000 How many people out there want a Testarossa because of Miami Vice? 1.00
02:23:43.000 Right?
02:23:43.000 Everybody wanted to be Don Johnson.
02:23:45.000 I always wanted the Ghostbusters ambulance.
02:23:48.000 That was the car.
02:23:49.000 Those are very expensive.
02:23:51.000 I would imagine.
02:23:52.000 My son's really into, like, foreign cars.
02:23:54.000 What are all these, Jamie?
02:23:56.000 The BBS boys cars.
02:23:57.000 Oh.
02:23:58.000 Oh, yeah.
02:23:59.000 I just drool over all these videos, man.
02:24:02.000 So they put BBS wheels on all these cars?
02:24:04.000 Well, that's just what they're called, but they put just, you know, accessories from the era on there.
02:24:11.000 One car that was fucking incredible from the 1990s that doesn't get its just deserve is the original Acura NSX. That little tiny aluminum car that Acura made.
02:24:24.000 That's a 90s car that needs some respect.
02:24:27.000 It was like a 90s Acura response to Ferrari, because Ferraris were making these sleek little sports cars.
02:24:36.000 And so Acura decided, we're going to show you what a real one is like.
02:24:40.000 We're going to make one that doesn't break. 0.99
02:24:42.000 We're going to make one that you could drive every fucking day. 0.99
02:24:45.000 So it's like your car, except it doesn't break every 10 minutes. 0.99
02:24:47.000 That's cool.
02:24:49.000 And so they made a better Ferrari, and they changed the game for everybody else. 0.97
02:24:53.000 Everybody else had to, like, make a car that actually lasted because Hondas were so fucking good.
02:24:58.000 They figured out how to make a car that just, like, didn't have problems.
02:25:01.000 And so if you bought an actual Ferrari, like, that thing was probably always, like, little tweaks.
02:25:08.000 It's a race car. 0.99
02:25:09.000 There's a lot of shit you got to do. 0.99
02:25:11.000 That other thing's a Honda. 0.99
02:25:14.000 I have a 2010 BMW. It's still my driver.
02:25:19.000 I bought it new.
02:25:20.000 I took it in to get new brakes the other day.
02:25:22.000 That thing's rickety, man.
02:25:23.000 No, I am more.
02:25:24.000 It's getting new brakes, but...
02:25:25.000 I was shocked when you drove it.
02:25:29.000 All the front pads have been worn off.
02:25:30.000 I was waiting to get a new car.
02:25:31.000 I was like, dude, I'm like an old-school saver.
02:25:34.000 You know what I mean?
02:25:34.000 I want to drive this another six months.
02:25:36.000 And then, dude, there's like no cars available.
02:25:38.000 They're all sold out.
02:25:40.000 Because of the supply chain issue.
02:25:41.000 So I'm like, I'm going to drive this another year.
02:25:43.000 I've decided to get new pads because it was like metal on metal.
02:25:47.000 I took it in to the BMW guy.
02:25:49.000 The guy checking me in was like, he mentioned that he was 21. I was like, fucking hell, this car. 0.99
02:25:55.000 He was nine when I bought this car. 1.00
02:25:57.000 Wow.
02:25:58.000 Do you know anybody that's driven a daily driver for 12 years?
02:26:01.000 No.
02:26:02.000 I think I'm about to break some sort of record, man.
02:26:04.000 It's unusual.
02:26:05.000 It's unusual.
02:26:06.000 But those cars can last.
02:26:07.000 I might get to keep it.
02:26:08.000 It's got 75,000 miles on it.
02:26:10.000 That's it.
02:26:10.000 Because we toured so much.
02:26:11.000 It's got no miles on it. 0.99
02:26:13.000 Yeah, those cars can go for a long fucking time, too. 0.98
02:26:16.000 They're so well engineered. 0.97
02:26:17.000 Dude, when we signed our first real record deal with this label, Mississippi, it was like for $12,000.
02:26:23.000 That was the guarantee.
02:26:25.000 And the dude was like, hey, Dan had mentioned, you know, like, that's a cool old Mercedes back there.
02:26:30.000 It was like a 1980 Mercedes.
02:26:32.000 He's like, well, yeah, I mean, uh...
02:26:35.000 I could knock $5,000 off the check and you could take that car.
02:26:39.000 You can drive that out.
02:26:40.000 You can drive it home.
02:26:41.000 He was like a used car salesman record deal.
02:26:43.000 That's hilarious.
02:26:45.000 Had a bullet hole in the windshield.
02:26:48.000 Show him a 1994 Acura NSX. I can't believe you've never seen one of these things before.
02:26:55.000 Oh, I probably have.
02:26:56.000 It's a little aluminum car with like a tail on the end of it.
02:27:01.000 That's an Acura NSX. That's an Acura?
02:27:03.000 Yep.
02:27:04.000 That's an NSX. It's a mid-engine supercar that Acura designed and built for years.
02:27:10.000 I had two of those.
02:27:12.000 I had one from that era with the lift-up headlights, and I had one from the later era, like 2003, that had fixed headlights.
02:27:19.000 It's a beautiful little car, right?
02:27:21.000 It's cool.
02:27:22.000 Yeah, it looks Italian, you know?
02:27:24.000 They, like, flip the game on the Italians, because they made one of these cars that doesn't break. 0.98
02:27:29.000 I'd never driven a sports car until just recently.
02:27:31.000 I went to Miami, and my son is obsessed with them.
02:27:34.000 Because he watches Mr. Beast and stuff.
02:27:36.000 They're always talking about Lamborghinis and McLarens.
02:27:39.000 He's like, Dad, did you know this Lamborghini can beat this one?
02:27:43.000 So I surprised him and rented him a green Lamborghini.
02:27:49.000 We drove around Miami.
02:27:51.000 That's hilarious.
02:27:53.000 It was awesome.
02:27:54.000 He had so much fun.
02:27:55.000 Did you drive it at all?
02:27:56.000 I drove it all over, yeah.
02:27:58.000 Did you freak out while you were driving it?
02:28:00.000 Did he freak out?
02:28:01.000 Yeah, did you freak out too?
02:28:03.000 Yeah, it was a crazy car to drive around in.
02:28:05.000 Especially in Miami.
02:28:06.000 Something about it felt very appropriate.
02:28:08.000 Yeah, it fits right in.
02:28:09.000 We drove over to the Padron factory, got some fresh Nicaraguans. 1.00
02:28:15.000 How old was your son?
02:28:15.000 Six.
02:28:16.000 Oh, wow.
02:28:18.000 That must have been a trip.
02:28:19.000 Oh, he loved it so much.
02:28:20.000 It was fun.
02:28:21.000 Because that's like being in a spaceship for a little kid or a superhero car.
02:28:23.000 Yeah, I mean, that's what it felt like to me.
02:28:25.000 I can't imagine what it was like to him.
02:28:27.000 It was just so crazy.
02:28:29.000 Blasting the music, driving around with the top off.
02:28:31.000 It was kind of nuts.
02:28:32.000 Miami's like the most flossy city in the country, for sure, right?
02:28:37.000 Where people would drive around with something like that.
02:28:40.000 Oh, yeah.
02:28:41.000 I mean, if you sit on that main street there, you just see them like every other car is some sort of crazy sports car.
02:28:49.000 It's like the place where the yachts go.
02:28:51.000 It's the same kind of deal.
02:28:53.000 People go there to party and ball.
02:28:56.000 It's a way of life there, for sure.
02:28:58.000 When you start your tours, do you just figure out what sounds cool?
02:29:04.000 Like, oh, I'd like to go to this part of the country.
02:29:07.000 Or do you have sort of a plan?
02:29:10.000 Do you try to make your way across the country?
02:29:12.000 How do you do it?
02:29:15.000 Usually, I mean, yeah, there's definitely certain cities.
02:29:18.000 On this tour, we're doing 32 shows, and there's some cities that didn't make the cut for whatever reason, routing, that we'll have to go back to.
02:29:26.000 But there's big cities for us, too.
02:29:28.000 Minneapolis is a big city for us, so it's not on the tour.
02:29:31.000 But yeah, we just try to get as much coverage.
02:29:33.000 I mean, the big thing for us is that, because we both have young kids, is trying to minimize that time away from home.
02:29:39.000 That's what I was going to ask you.
02:29:40.000 Do you do the thing where you make your way across the country in a bus or do you do like weekends and fly back?
02:29:46.000 We do it all.
02:29:48.000 It doesn't make sense to do it in and out, so you have to go on the road.
02:29:52.000 So we figure out this kind of system.
02:29:55.000 Three weeks on, two weeks off, essentially.
02:29:58.000 And we can cover the US in three legs.
02:30:02.000 Still trying to figure out how...
02:30:05.000 I gotta get my kid out for a couple days here and there.
02:30:07.000 I can't go three weeks without seeing him.
02:30:09.000 It's just too long.
02:30:10.000 My dad went away for a month when I was a kid, and it was still traumatizing to me.
02:30:17.000 I went to take the trash out two days ago.
02:30:20.000 My kid was in tears.
02:30:22.000 Jesus Christ.
02:30:23.000 I know.
02:30:24.000 Yeah, it's a weird thing, the travel when you have children.
02:30:28.000 It just doesn't feel fun anymore.
02:30:30.000 But like I was saying, earlier before we started, I slept better last night than I have in years.
02:30:36.000 Because he's not running around grabbing things.
02:30:38.000 12 hours of sleep.
02:30:40.000 It was amazing.
02:30:41.000 That's hilarious.
02:30:42.000 And so true.
02:30:43.000 And everybody can relate to that.
02:30:45.000 It's just a thing that happens to you.
02:30:46.000 You have children.
02:30:47.000 And also you start getting real paranoid about things.
02:30:50.000 Paranoid about what are the dangers out there.
02:30:53.000 Oh yeah.
02:30:53.000 Start thinking about stuff.
02:30:55.000 Do we have enough food?
02:30:56.000 Do we have food stockpiled anywhere?
02:30:58.000 You start thinking things like that when you have children.
02:31:00.000 Like with COVID, I was just really worried about the toilet paper situation.
02:31:08.000 I have to pee so bad.
02:31:09.000 Let me pause this.
02:31:10.000 Let's pause this and we'll come back and chat some more. 0.98
02:31:13.000 Goddamn I gotta pee so bad. 0.95
02:31:14.000 Barely hanging in here. 0.98
02:31:15.000 We were waiting to see who would go first.
02:31:16.000 So we were talking about cars.
02:31:18.000 So why do you have this old-ass car?
02:31:20.000 You obviously love cars.
02:31:22.000 I'm just like a...
02:31:23.000 Pragmatic?
02:31:24.000 Yeah.
02:31:25.000 They're beautiful.
02:31:26.000 Yeah.
02:31:27.000 And when they run, it's amazing.
02:31:29.000 I've got old motorcycles, 30s and 40s.
02:31:31.000 But this isn't that old.
02:31:32.000 It's 2010. Yeah, mine's not beautiful.
02:31:34.000 I just took a cheapskate.
02:31:35.000 Right.
02:31:36.000 I thought you were talking about your...
02:31:38.000 Dan has a crazy collection of motorcycles.
02:31:40.000 Really?
02:31:40.000 I thought you were talking about the...
02:31:42.000 Yeah.
02:31:43.000 What kind of motorcycles?
02:31:44.000 Old knuckleheads and panheads. 1.00
02:31:46.000 Oh, wow.
02:31:47.000 Yeah.
02:31:48.000 How'd you get into those?
02:31:51.000 I had some friends in Nashville who were into them.
02:31:53.000 And then actually I bought my first one from Mike Wolf, who lives in town.
02:31:58.000 Because he's just always getting them.
02:32:01.000 And yeah, I just got addicted to it. 0.97
02:32:04.000 Those are fuckin' cool. 0.95
02:32:06.000 Yeah. 0.90
02:32:06.000 When you see one ride by, you can't help but turn it. 0.90
02:32:10.000 Turn your head and look at it.
02:32:11.000 Watch it.
02:32:12.000 You get drawn into it.
02:32:13.000 There's something about it, like the freedom of that.
02:32:16.000 I always think of the beginning of that Hunter S. Thompson documentary where he's talking about the edge, and he's riding the motorcycle on the Pacific Coast Highway, and he's just...
02:32:26.000 Do you remember that?
02:32:27.000 No.
02:32:28.000 And then talking about how he gets to a certain speed where it feels like he hears music and everything just seems to come together for him.
02:32:38.000 It's so peaceful.
02:32:39.000 It really is.
02:32:41.000 Nothing clears my mind like it.
02:32:43.000 I'm so scared of those things.
02:32:45.000 Me too.
02:32:46.000 Yeah, but these ones are not like a Kawasaki ninja or something.
02:32:50.000 But even them, I'm scared of other people, man.
02:32:53.000 Yeah, I guess.
02:32:54.000 Dan's like, oh man, I'm not so into flying.
02:32:58.000 And I'm like, dude, you drive a 100-year-old motorcycle.
02:33:00.000 Like literally, 85-year-old motorcycle.
02:33:03.000 I'm like, come on.
02:33:05.000 Johnny Depp is so simple, those machines.
02:33:08.000 Johnny Depp is actually the one that does the narration over that Hunter Thompson thing.
02:33:12.000 Yeah.
02:33:12.000 The ride in the motorcycle thing.
02:33:16.000 That's right.
02:33:18.000 Yeah, motorcycles, they're amazing, but...
02:33:20.000 They definitely scare me.
02:33:23.000 I think that's healthy.
02:33:24.000 Look at that thing. 0.92
02:33:27.000 Dude, how many of these do you have?
02:33:28.000 You've got like 15?
02:33:30.000 Look at the patina.
02:33:31.000 Can you go back to that one?
02:33:32.000 18. Look at the patina on that one.
02:33:34.000 That one came from North Carolina. 0.99
02:33:36.000 Dude, that is fucking gorgeous. 0.99
02:33:38.000 48. First year at Panhead. 0.99
02:33:42.000 That's a clear example of time and wear making something even more beautiful.
02:33:49.000 All my bikes are like that.
02:33:50.000 Those are the ones that I like, are the ones that are sort of like rolling folk art.
02:33:53.000 That is...
02:33:54.000 That's my Indian right there, the striped one. 0.92
02:33:56.000 The guy who owned that played motorcycle polo with that bike. 0.99
02:34:00.000 First gear is completely ripped out because he was just playing fucking polo. 0.95
02:34:04.000 That one that I'm on right there, that red one, that... 0.98
02:34:08.000 What's that one?
02:34:09.000 Oh, that's not me, no.
02:34:10.000 That's my buddy, though.
02:34:11.000 You want to look at it for a second?
02:34:12.000 No, that one.
02:34:13.000 It looks like the same bike.
02:34:14.000 This one, yeah, right there in the middle.
02:34:16.000 That guy came out of the Army and bought that for himself.
02:34:20.000 It was black.
02:34:21.000 He painted it all red.
02:34:22.000 What year is that?
02:34:23.000 Customized it.
02:34:24.000 That's a 40. 1940. Look how beautiful that thing is.
02:34:30.000 And do you ever drive these things?
02:34:31.000 And there's pinstriping on the front.
02:34:33.000 That's like pinstriping from the 40s.
02:34:35.000 It's so early.
02:34:38.000 Do you drive these?
02:34:39.000 I rode that one to Mississippi and back.
02:34:42.000 Wow!
02:34:43.000 With a group of about 14 other old bikes.
02:34:48.000 Now is there a compromise in like the way it breaks or anything? 0.99
02:34:53.000 Fuck yeah. 0.99
02:34:55.000 Look how bad is it? 1.00
02:34:57.000 How dangerous is it?
02:34:57.000 That one's an original paint.
02:34:58.000 That's fucking beautiful. 0.99
02:34:59.000 I bought that one from Wolf. 0.99
02:35:02.000 God, that green is incredible.
02:35:03.000 He called that one swamp donkey.
02:35:06.000 How bad are the brakes?
02:35:08.000 Oh, they're good.
02:35:09.000 I mean, if you have them right, they're fine.
02:35:11.000 So it's not that big of a difference where it's dangerous?
02:35:14.000 Well, a modern bike definitely brakes.
02:35:16.000 A disc brake definitely stops better, but, you know.
02:35:21.000 Anyway, it's a real addiction, but I do love it.
02:35:25.000 BMW is coming out with some kind of motorcycle that helps you correct when you lose balance.
02:35:33.000 Like a trike? 0.99
02:35:34.000 I don't know what the fuck it is. 0.99
02:35:38.000 Dude, I saw someone here driving one of those, it's like a reverse trike, the cars, the spiders. 1.00
02:35:45.000 Dude, they're so goofy looking.
02:35:46.000 Very weird.
02:35:49.000 Yeah, this is this BMW thing. 0.77
02:35:51.000 That's like the car from the ambiguously gay duo. 0.99
02:35:56.000 It's a Tron car. 0.77
02:35:58.000 Right?
02:36:01.000 So the idea is something inside of it balances it out to help you if you are about to fall over.
02:36:08.000 It balances it out.
02:36:08.000 That reminds me of like the Gibson made guitars that would tune themselves.
02:36:11.000 Yeah.
02:36:12.000 The robot guitar.
02:36:13.000 It's like a Segway.
02:36:15.000 Failed miserably. 1.00
02:36:16.000 It's fucking cool looking. 0.98
02:36:19.000 I mean, it's not the same kind of cool as your bikes, but it's spaceship cool. 0.96
02:36:25.000 It's like Tron level.
02:36:26.000 Yeah, I mean, there's completely different feels to that.
02:36:29.000 Like, look at that woman riding that. 1.00
02:36:31.000 That's wild.
02:36:33.000 So you could just sit on it, and it doesn't tip over?
02:36:39.000 We're basically living in a movie.
02:36:41.000 Look at that thing. 0.92
02:36:43.000 Is this a concept, or is it this is an actual bike?
02:36:46.000 Both, I think?
02:36:49.000 Super Matrix, I love that. 0.99
02:36:50.000 Fuck yeah, it looks awesome. 1.00
02:36:52.000 Yeah. 0.99
02:36:52.000 Because they've been making some weird stuff to show at CES and stuff. 0.99
02:36:56.000 The difference is, I bet, that if you drive one of your bikes, that it's a lot like driving a 1965 Corvette or something like that, that you feel something when you're driving it. 0.98
02:37:06.000 It's like there's an excitement to having this rolling old art under your ass. 0.81
02:37:13.000 I just, I look at the clothes they're wearing and I'm just wondering like, you know like in the 50s and I tried to like show what the future would look like and then the 70s come around and everyone's wearing like really ugly bell bottoms. 0.97
02:37:24.000 I went to the clothing store today and my wife had to buy some shoes and like Dude, all the jeans are designed to emphasize the fupa. 1.00
02:37:32.000 Really?
02:37:32.000 Yeah, I don't even understand what's happening.
02:37:34.000 I feel like all the pants are really short and cut really weird.
02:37:40.000 I just wonder what people are going to dress like 15 years from now.
02:37:42.000 They're not going to dress like that.
02:37:43.000 They're going to dress way, way...
02:37:44.000 There's so much lead poisoning out there, man.
02:37:46.000 They're going to be dressed...
02:37:47.000 You think that's what it is?
02:37:49.000 I don't know.
02:37:50.000 That would make sense why people get really into pants that have been torn to shreds.
02:37:54.000 My wife has pants that she just bought that look like she was in a car accident. 1.00
02:37:58.000 She just got attacked by wolves.
02:38:00.000 There's holes all over them.
02:38:03.000 And that's the style.
02:38:04.000 The style is, wear clothes that it's torn apart.
02:38:08.000 Blown apart. 0.99
02:38:09.000 Like, your knees are hanging out, there's fucking pieces of your thigh exposed. 0.99
02:38:14.000 Like, your pants, you should be embarrassed to have those pants on, run home and change. 1.00
02:38:19.000 You tore your pants apart.
02:38:20.000 But no, you buy them like that.
02:38:22.000 The dystopian future clothing where the Yeezy collection of futuristic prisoners.
02:38:31.000 It's just like Obi-Wan Kenobi for the rest of your life.
02:38:34.000 I saw Kanye perform at the Hollywood Bowl ten years ago.
02:38:40.000 It was all singing through autotune.
02:38:42.000 It was very weird.
02:38:46.000 I didn't think it was very good.
02:38:47.000 It was a performance.
02:38:49.000 It was more theatrical.
02:38:51.000 But it was funny.
02:38:52.000 Afterwards, the people I knew who weren't musicians just were like, that was incredible.
02:38:57.000 That was the most incredible thing I've ever seen. 0.99
02:38:59.000 These are all actors and shit. 0.99
02:39:02.000 When I see Honey, I Shred the Kids 2, I'm like, that was amazing. 1.00
02:39:07.000 You're an idiot. 1.00
02:39:08.000 Oh. 1.00
02:39:10.000 Well, you know, does he have his own way of doing it?
02:39:13.000 Like, what was it about it that you didn't like?
02:39:14.000 Is it just not your style of music?
02:39:17.000 Oh, I just didn't understand it.
02:39:18.000 I don't know.
02:39:18.000 What was he doing?
02:39:19.000 It was like a one-man show?
02:39:20.000 He was wearing like a burlap sack.
02:39:26.000 Really?
02:39:27.000 It was so weird, man.
02:39:28.000 And this is like how many years ago?
02:39:29.000 But it wasn't like the shags weird. 0.99
02:39:31.000 It wasn't like weird weird.
02:39:33.000 It was like high IQ weird.
02:39:37.000 Just like really worried about it.
02:39:40.000 But I don't really get it.
02:39:41.000 But the point is just that it's funny when you see someone like the dystopian future.
02:39:46.000 I don't know.
02:39:47.000 I hope the future doesn't look like that. 0.96
02:39:49.000 It's so fucking boring. 0.93
02:39:50.000 I think the future is going to be genderless. 1.00
02:39:52.000 I think what we're seeing now with all this bizarre classifications of things and pronouns and all this craziness with people, I think we're on our way to becoming aliens.
02:40:03.000 I think this is one of those things.
02:40:05.000 What that thing is in our head, that archetype of the big head and the little tiny body, that's the future. 0.91
02:40:11.000 We're going that way and we're gonna go that way because of a fucking an implant or some sort of technological advance But along the way our bodies are gonna get accustomed to this idea of the male and female dynamic is like it doesn't count anymore It's like there's there's a 98 different genders and everybody could be whatever the fuck you want at any given time and it'll slowly make it easier for us to accept becoming aliens and Genderless, 0.99
02:40:36.000 fucking genital-less, just little spindly bodies moving everything with our minds. 1.00
02:40:43.000 That's what's going to happen. 1.00
02:40:44.000 That's why all this wild shit's happening in our country. 0.99
02:40:47.000 It's preparing us for this state. 1.00
02:40:50.000 We're building the fucking cocoon. 1.00
02:40:52.000 We're going to become the butterfly. 1.00
02:40:54.000 Yeah.
02:40:56.000 You don't hear about abductions that often anymore, do you?
02:40:59.000 Hardly ever.
02:41:00.000 They're everywhere. 0.99
02:41:01.000 Damn it! 1.00
02:41:02.000 I was terrified of it as a kid. 1.00
02:41:03.000 I was too.
02:41:05.000 The Goodyear blimp was based where we're from.
02:41:10.000 I was watching Unsolved Mysteries one night when I was probably about eight. 1.00
02:41:13.000 I can't believe my mom was allowed to watch this shit. 1.00
02:41:17.000 I was convinced the men in black were going to come into my house when I was a really little kid. 1.00
02:41:23.000 But one day I'm watching this shit and I look out to Reflecting on me just like colors. 1.00
02:41:29.000 Just like blue, red. 1.00
02:41:31.000 I'm like, what the fuck is going on? 0.96
02:41:34.000 And I look up in the sky and I see like all these colors. 1.00
02:41:38.000 I'm like, what the fuck? 0.99
02:41:40.000 Through the trees. 1.00
02:41:41.000 I'm like, what the fuck? 0.99
02:41:42.000 And it turned out like they were testing like a You know what movie scared the fuck out of me? 0.99
02:41:53.000 Do you remember that Whitley Stryber movie?
02:41:54.000 Dude, my friends' parents own Whitley Stryber's house where he wrote Communion.
02:42:00.000 What movie?
02:42:01.000 Communion.
02:42:02.000 Here, listen to this.
02:42:04.000 This is not a value judgment.
02:42:06.000 This is just facts.
02:42:07.000 Whitley Stryber was a fiction writer.
02:42:09.000 He would write fantasy novels.
02:42:12.000 What kind of stuff did he write?
02:42:14.000 Was it sci-fi?
02:42:15.000 I'm only familiar with Communion, so I don't know.
02:42:18.000 And then he writes a true life story that reads exactly like his novels.
02:42:24.000 It talks about him being abducted by aliens.
02:42:26.000 And then they make a movie about this.
02:42:27.000 And the movie's... 0.95
02:42:28.000 When I was a kid and I watched it, I was fucking terrified! 0.95
02:42:31.000 Dude, the cover of the book alone is... 0.97
02:42:34.000 They're going to take me through the walls.
02:42:36.000 They can just take you right through walls.
02:42:37.000 They just appear at your bedside.
02:42:38.000 You can't move.
02:42:39.000 You're paralyzed.
02:42:40.000 They run science experiments on you.
02:42:42.000 Dude, I was talking to this...
02:42:44.000 That's the movie that scared you the most when you were a kid?
02:42:46.000 Oh, yeah.
02:42:47.000 Well, no.
02:42:47.000 In terms of...
02:42:48.000 It wasn't that it scared me the most, but it was the most in terms of thinking that that could really happen.
02:42:52.000 That could really happen to you.
02:42:54.000 I was sitting around once on tour and talking to one of the security guys that we were touring with.
02:43:00.000 And we were talking about, you know, touring.
02:43:03.000 Of course, like, you know, like, he's like, you ever been in a haunted hotel room?
02:43:11.000 He's like, oh, yeah.
02:43:12.000 I've seen a demon once.
02:43:14.000 I'm like, oh, really?
02:43:16.000 He's like, oh, yeah.
02:43:17.000 It climbed on top of me.
02:43:18.000 It wouldn't let me up.
02:43:19.000 It held me down.
02:43:19.000 I was like, oh, dude, that's called sleep paralysis.
02:43:21.000 He's like, no, man.
02:43:23.000 Full demon.
02:43:24.000 Thank you.
02:43:26.000 No, man.
02:43:26.000 I was like, look it up.
02:43:28.000 I was like, it's happened to me.
02:43:29.000 Sleep paralysis is scary.
02:43:30.000 Because, you know, you think that someone's holding you down.
02:43:32.000 You think someone's in the room.
02:43:33.000 But, like, there's a painting from, like, the 1700s of, like, a succubus on top of something. 0.99
02:43:38.000 He's like, what the fuck? 0.97
02:43:39.000 Dude, he got so freaked out. 1.00
02:43:40.000 It's like, I met a few people who were fully convinced they had seen a demon.
02:43:46.000 And then I was like, sleep paralysis?
02:43:49.000 Like, your mind's, like, awake.
02:43:51.000 Your body's asleep.
02:43:52.000 Or vice versa.
02:43:53.000 I forget what.
02:43:54.000 But...
02:43:54.000 But it's also you could be dreaming still.
02:43:56.000 Oh, yeah. 0.98
02:43:57.000 So if you do have sleep paralysis and you're in the middle of a fucking half-assed dream and you really think there is a demon on your chest? 0.98
02:44:03.000 I've had it like four or five times every time I've had it. 0.97
02:44:05.000 Like, there's somebody in the room. 1.00
02:44:07.000 Fuck. 1.00
02:44:08.000 Somebody's in the fucking room. 1.00
02:44:09.000 Always, but I wonder if, you know, a lot of abduction stuff probably comes down to that. 0.99
02:44:14.000 Look at that.
02:44:15.000 That is a wild picture.
02:44:16.000 Nope.
02:44:17.000 That is a wild picture.
02:44:18.000 Imagine, like, come to my art show.
02:44:21.000 This, like, 1780s artist, come to my art show.
02:44:24.000 I've drawn a succubus on top of a young woman. 0.99
02:44:27.000 Back then when they really didn't have much data on anything.
02:44:32.000 So metal, dude.
02:44:33.000 So metal.
02:44:34.000 Look at it.
02:44:35.000 Back then when someone got sick or when something like, oh, I think that's incredible.
02:44:41.000 Isn't it crazy that each one of these shows the same kind of thing?
02:44:44.000 Each one of these pieces of artwork, it's a demon on the back.
02:44:46.000 It's all like Northern Europeans too. 0.93
02:44:51.000 What if we're just naive?
02:44:53.000 What if we're just naive and there really are demons that occasionally just almost suffocate you?
02:44:58.000 And they think it's cute.
02:44:59.000 They think it's cute.
02:45:00.000 They just climb on you and almost suffocate you, but they're not allowed to suffocate you.
02:45:03.000 And they let go.
02:45:05.000 And occasionally they blow you.
02:45:06.000 And that's why you have wet dreams. 1.00
02:45:09.000 Maybe if you had wet dreams, you found out it's actually demons that are riding your cock. 1.00
02:45:13.000 Dude, this chick I knew, she told me she was an atheist, and then she told me she believed in demons, and I was like, eh. 1.00
02:45:18.000 Seems consistent.
02:45:19.000 I was like, it doesn't really work that way.
02:45:22.000 It doesn't quite work that way.
02:45:24.000 Well, that's the thing is, like, everybody, you're allowed to say you believe in God, but very few people say they believe in the devil.
02:45:30.000 Yeah.
02:45:31.000 It's hard to say.
02:45:32.000 That gets you ridiculed. 0.91
02:45:34.000 Even the people that believe in God, oh, come on, the devil.
02:45:37.000 Yeah.
02:45:38.000 But imagine.
02:45:39.000 Imagine if that's really what's going on.
02:45:41.000 That's what eats at the heart of men and causing them to contemplate nuclear war.
02:45:45.000 It really is devils. 1.00
02:45:46.000 That would be wild shit if we were so naive like, God, devils aren't real. 1.00
02:45:51.000 Come on, man. 1.00
02:45:53.000 You know? 1.00
02:45:54.000 I mean, if the sun wasn't real and someone told you about the sun, you'd be like, shut the fuck up. 0.99
02:45:59.000 How is that possible? 0.99
02:46:00.000 It's a million times bigger than the earth and it's on fire.
02:46:03.000 Really?
02:46:04.000 Yeah, what else?
02:46:05.000 Can it read your mind?
02:46:07.000 If you stare at it, do you go blind?
02:46:09.000 Yes!
02:46:10.000 Yes, you do.
02:46:11.000 Right?
02:46:13.000 Oh my god, man. 0.99
02:46:14.000 There's a lot of shit that if it wasn't real, someone told you about it, You'd be very incredulous. 1.00
02:46:21.000 Orcas? 1.00
02:46:22.000 They have their own language.
02:46:23.000 We can't decipher it.
02:46:25.000 They're maybe as smart as us.
02:46:26.000 They just don't affect their environment.
02:46:28.000 That's one thing that COVID, I think, my realization was just how little anybody knows.
02:46:34.000 It's impossible to even get a clear message out to anybody.
02:46:38.000 And when people were, like, early on, like, everybody's getting vented and dying.
02:46:43.000 Like, no one's even mentioned, like, that.
02:46:44.000 Like, there's been, like, a million deaths.
02:46:46.000 But, like, how many hundreds of thousands were from being...
02:46:48.000 Ventilated.
02:46:49.000 Ventilated.
02:46:50.000 Yeah.
02:46:51.000 Oh, but...
02:46:52.000 They didn't know what to do.
02:46:52.000 They don't know.
02:46:53.000 But then, like, you're, like, oh, what happens if you get diagnosed with, like, most diseases? 1.00
02:46:56.000 You're just fucked. 1.00
02:46:59.000 You're just fucked. 1.00
02:47:00.000 You know? 1.00
02:47:03.000 Yeah, but I think that there's just very little that people really...
02:47:07.000 You know, the level of understanding that people have.
02:47:09.000 Like, imagine the fact that we were fucking around with, like, nuclear bombs, like, 70 years ago.
02:47:13.000 Like, no one even really knew what was happening. 0.89
02:47:16.000 It's just, like, accidental.
02:47:18.000 Like, just dropping them all the time in the ocean.
02:47:20.000 Oh, yeah. 0.99
02:47:21.000 Like, fucking crazy. 1.00
02:47:23.000 The videos are insane. 1.00
02:47:24.000 Dude, nuts.
02:47:25.000 I showed him to a friend of mine the other night at dinner.
02:47:27.000 Like, this is what it looked like. 0.98
02:47:28.000 And you see the look on his face when the fucking mile-high wall of water comes out of the ocean. 0.98
02:47:35.000 It's so big, it doesn't even make sense. 1.00
02:47:38.000 Holy fuck! 0.99
02:47:40.000 Right now, when everyone's talking about this Russian hypersonic missile, Like, can you believe this weapon that Russia has? 1.00
02:47:47.000 I was like, wait a second.
02:47:48.000 The U.S. spends like 10 to 20 times the amount of money on weapons than Russia. 1.00
02:47:53.000 We have all that shit. 1.00
02:47:54.000 I mean, but the hypersonic missile, I mean, that's probably what those UFOs, quote-unquote UFOs from the videos that were circulating a couple years ago are just like, you know, because those things are fucking crazy, man. 1.00
02:48:07.000 The Ramjet shit. 0.99
02:48:08.000 But it's crazy. 1.00
02:48:09.000 It's like Art Bell.
02:48:11.000 When we used to drive on tour back in the day, it'd be like, you'd listen to Coast to Coast at night. 0.99
02:48:15.000 There's nothing else, but you could find that scary-ass shit, and you'd be looking over the Arizona skyline looking for shit. 0.99
02:48:23.000 Driving in the middle of the night, listening to Art Bell. 1.00
02:48:25.000 That's the best.
02:48:26.000 And around the time we were doing that, that's when Art Bell's family got kidnapped. 0.98
02:48:30.000 You're like, what the fuck is going on? 0.99
02:48:32.000 And George Norrie would come on, and then they were talking about Ramjets and all kinds of shit. 0.99
02:48:37.000 I think the Ramjets powers the SR-71. 1.00
02:48:42.000 Essentially, it takes a whole tank of fuel to get that thing just up and go in Mach 1 or 2, and then they have to refuel it to get it ramming or whatever.
02:48:53.000 So they refuel them in the sky?
02:48:55.000 Yeah, it takes a whole tank to get them where they need to go. 0.99
02:48:58.000 That's the wildest shit ever. 0.99
02:48:59.000 Pumping gas in the sky. 0.99
02:49:02.000 Dude, if you see the potential of these hypersonic missiles, have you...
02:49:07.000 Yeah.
02:49:07.000 Dude, without even a warhead, they have a megaton explosion just from the velocity of the speed.
02:49:14.000 They can go Mach 15 or something.
02:49:16.000 And they can change course.
02:49:17.000 Yeah.
02:49:17.000 They can't just predict, oh, this one's going to go to Seattle.
02:49:21.000 No, it can turn left.
02:49:22.000 It can go south.
02:49:30.000 I think you're right.
02:49:33.000 I think that's probably a lot of what those UFO sightings were.
02:49:35.000 I think a lot of the other ones are drones.
02:49:39.000 The famous one is that Tic Tac one that they found off the coast of San Diego, I think in 2004. A commander, David Fravor, saw this object that they had tracked.
02:49:47.000 They even recalibrated their device, apparently, to make sure that it was accurate.
02:49:52.000 But they've read this thing at more than 50,000 feet above sea level, and it got down to 50 feet in less than a second.
02:50:00.000 And they don't know what it is, and they followed it around with their jets, and then the people on the Nimitz said, yeah, we've been seeing these for a couple weeks.
02:50:07.000 These, like, super credible naval pilots.
02:50:10.000 Guys who really understand, like, what's possible and not possible.
02:50:13.000 And they're watching these things dart off and just vanish with the kind of speed that, like, is just impossible.
02:50:18.000 No propulsion signature.
02:50:21.000 It doesn't, like, show that, like, anything's coming out the back like a normal jet.
02:50:24.000 It just looks like a Tic Tac.
02:50:26.000 And it goes at an impossible speed. 0.99
02:50:28.000 Like, what the fuck is that? 0.97
02:50:30.000 That might be a drone. 1.00
02:50:31.000 It might be some crazy fucking drone that they've been working on for decades just not telling us about. 0.99
02:50:36.000 Oh, for sure. 0.99
02:50:37.000 When I saw the Pentagon was talking about UFOs and they were talking about things from alien worlds, I'm like, yeah, really? 0.99
02:50:43.000 Or maybe you guys have been making some cool fucking shit and you don't want everybody to know. 0.99
02:50:48.000 Yeah. 0.99
02:50:49.000 And you're like, oh yeah, it's not us. 0.97
02:50:51.000 We don't have any hypersonic fucking UFO-looking Tic Tacs. 0.93
02:50:54.000 It's like back to Phil Hartman when he does the unfrozen caveman lawyer. 0.88
02:50:57.000 He's like, I'm not familiar with your modern ways, this legal system, but I do know my client's entitled to 3.5 million in punitive damages.
02:51:08.000 It's alien technology.
02:51:10.000 Why would the Pentagon ever tell us?
02:51:13.000 Because I always wondered, because Tom DeLonge, he actually worked with the government.
02:51:16.000 They brought him in to talk about aliens, because he's that much of an alien freak.
02:51:20.000 And I think they thought that would help.
02:51:23.000 Dude, he told me, he was like, they're cloaked.
02:51:26.000 They're all above us.
02:51:27.000 They're cloaked.
02:51:28.000 They're scanning.
02:51:29.000 Honestly, what he was describing was like satellites tapping into all of our phones and listening to everything we do, which is, I think, actually happening.
02:51:37.000 Yeah, but they don't even need satellites to do that. 0.72
02:51:39.000 They get right into the system.
02:51:41.000 They can listen to everything you say.
02:51:44.000 Gavin DeBecker, who's a security expert on my podcast, was explaining that you used to have a clickable link.
02:51:49.000 It used to be a thing you had to click, and then you would accidentally, without your knowledge, download some sort of a software that would take over your phone.
02:51:56.000 Now they don't need that.
02:51:57.000 So now they just need your phone number.
02:51:58.000 They get your phone number.
02:52:00.000 They're just listening to you.
02:52:01.000 They're watching everything you do.
02:52:02.000 They can do whatever they want now. 1.00
02:52:03.000 Dude, imagine the stupid conversations that these people have to listen to. 1.00
02:52:08.000 Yeah, well, it makes people more aware of how fucking stupid your conversations are if you think they can come up in a trial with Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. 1.00
02:52:16.000 Oh my god. 1.00
02:52:17.000 That kind of shit, when you realize, like, oh my god, like, everything you've ever said. 1.00
02:52:20.000 And he's now reading, like... 1.00
02:52:22.000 Text messages and shit. 0.99
02:52:23.000 The vessel I donated my jizz to. 0.99
02:52:31.000 By the way, he's kind of a poetic guy. 0.62
02:52:33.000 Hell yeah.
02:52:34.000 And he was probably lit.
02:52:37.000 Yeah. 0.99
02:52:37.000 He likes to get fucked up, so why are we taking this at, like, these are statements? 0.99
02:52:41.000 Is this, like, how he really feels about everything? 0.99
02:52:44.000 Seems to be he's pretty universally coming out on top.
02:52:47.000 It seems to be.
02:52:48.000 It's unfortunate.
02:52:49.000 It's unfortunate that those kind of things do happen, but it's probably...
02:52:53.000 We played with him one time.
02:52:54.000 He's so nice. 0.94
02:52:56.000 It's probably good for people to recognize that all kinds of genders are crazy. 1.00
02:53:02.000 Just because someone is a male doesn't mean they're evil.
02:53:07.000 Someone's a female doesn't mean they're evil either.
02:53:10.000 There's crazy people on both sides.
02:53:12.000 And sometimes we all want to automatically assume, like when someone accuses someone of something, automatically assume that this person did it.
02:53:19.000 Especially if we'd like to, if it's a famous person.
02:53:21.000 In this situation, it seems like there's a lot of wackiness.
02:53:25.000 I think it's good to let people look at this kind of stuff and go, okay, there's crazy people everywhere.
02:53:30.000 This could all be crazy.
02:53:32.000 What actually happened here?
02:53:34.000 How much coke were you on?
02:53:35.000 What were you guys doing?
02:53:37.000 How many days have you been up for?
02:53:38.000 You chopped your finger off?
02:53:39.000 Why were you both recording each other?
02:53:41.000 How crazy is that?
02:53:42.000 You both recording each other?
02:53:43.000 This is madness all around.
02:53:46.000 Totally.
02:53:46.000 But also, yeah, I do think there's a lot of...
02:53:49.000 That's spy versus spy shit. 1.00
02:53:53.000 When relationships get bad, you know that shit happens. 1.00
02:53:56.000 It's so crazy, though. 0.99
02:53:56.000 They're arguing. 0.99
02:53:57.000 You get so crazy.
02:53:59.000 But they're both actors.
02:54:00.000 So they're both aware that they're recording, and they're acting like they're aware they're recording.
02:54:04.000 Oh, yeah.
02:54:05.000 It's bananas.
02:54:06.000 It's bananas.
02:54:07.000 It's so bananas because it's like, is this like some really high-level reality TV? Am I being punked?
02:54:13.000 Is this a project?
02:54:14.000 Two actors acting out a horrific breakup?
02:54:18.000 It sounds like a nightmare.
02:54:21.000 A horrible nightmare.
02:54:22.000 I don't know.
02:54:23.000 But the world's fixated.
02:54:24.000 Feels like it sounds common to me.
02:54:26.000 Oh, it's very common.
02:54:27.000 Have you seen Blowgate?
02:54:29.000 No, what's that?
02:54:30.000 Blowgate.
02:54:31.000 There's a video where it appears that she's sniffing something out of her napkin.
02:54:34.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:54:36.000 That's so funny.
02:54:37.000 Something to make her cry? 0.99
02:54:38.000 People are scrutinizing every fucking second of this and trying to look for it. 0.99
02:54:43.000 Blowgate. 0.99
02:54:43.000 I didn't know that. 0.99
02:54:44.000 I think I might have made that part.
02:54:45.000 It seems like there should be a different, like, court system for this.
02:54:48.000 Yeah, it's crazy if this is regular court.
02:54:51.000 It should be like People's Court.
02:54:53.000 Dude, imagine if there was a bailiff during this.
02:54:56.000 Dude, if they had a people's court bailiff during this just being like, oh!
02:54:59.000 Basically our health coach would be like, just Judy. 1.00
02:55:02.000 Hell no. 1.00
02:55:04.000 When he was talking about finding her shit on the bed, dude, the bailiff would lose his shit. 1.00
02:55:10.000 Is that the best way to figure out who's right and who's wrong, is let them do that? 1.00
02:55:16.000 Is that really the best way?
02:55:18.000 They all just tell their story and their stories don't match up?
02:55:21.000 And people have to figure out who they believe? 0.98
02:55:24.000 What a fucking wacky thing to do publicly. 0.98
02:55:27.000 It's really weird. 1.00
02:55:28.000 Fucking weird, man. 0.98
02:55:30.000 Weird. 1.00
02:55:31.000 He sued her and then she countersued him for $100 million.
02:55:35.000 So this lawsuit will go on forever.
02:55:37.000 They'll just keep battling it out.
02:55:39.000 One of them is going to end up with a big yacht, though.
02:55:41.000 Do you think so?
02:55:42.000 No.
02:55:43.000 What is the best case scenario is that people believe Johnny Depp?
02:55:48.000 That's the best case scenario for him.
02:55:50.000 I think he's probably already achieved that.
02:55:51.000 Dude, all the money that's being made by the advertising and clickbait should be put into a slush fund and then the winner of the case should get them.
02:55:58.000 Right.
02:55:59.000 That should be, like, the new thing for divorces. 1.00
02:56:01.000 Dude, they're generating tens of millions of dollars a week right now.
02:56:04.000 Yeah.
02:56:04.000 I mean, yeah!
02:56:05.000 I mean, imagine all the fucking news shows, air quotes, news shows that are covering this. 0.99
02:56:10.000 Oh, yeah. 0.99
02:56:10.000 You know? 0.99
02:56:11.000 It's entertaining as hell.
02:56:13.000 It's crazy town.
02:56:14.000 It's crazy town, and there's no script.
02:56:17.000 Yeah. 0.98
02:56:19.000 Johnny comes off pretty fucking smooth, though. 0.87
02:56:21.000 Yeah. 0.94
02:56:21.000 Seems like a nice guy. 0.94
02:56:22.000 He seems entertained, too.
02:56:24.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:56:25.000 He's a guy who likes to party.
02:56:29.000 Yeah.
02:56:30.000 Seems like he got himself all wrapped up in a bad situation.
02:56:33.000 Dude, we've hung out with him.
02:56:34.000 He's just so nice.
02:56:36.000 Someone, um...
02:56:38.000 Someone tweeted, like, when did Johnny Depp start looking like a strip club DJ? Pretty accurate. 0.99
02:56:47.000 I wonder if they're going to put him back on Pirates of the Caribbean. 0.99
02:56:50.000 If Disney wanted to reclaim all the stock that they've lost, all the market share they've lost over the last couple months, I guarantee you say, fuck it, we're on Team Johnny Depp. 0.93
02:57:02.000 That would probably pump up their stock market price. 0.99
02:57:06.000 Like, literally.
02:57:07.000 Interesting theory.
02:57:08.000 That would cause their stock to raise.
02:57:09.000 If they, like, just like, you know what?
02:57:11.000 We're bringing Johnny back.
02:57:12.000 We believe him.
02:57:14.000 Hashtag believe most women. 1.00
02:57:15.000 Maybe they could cast them both.
02:57:19.000 Together, alongside each other.
02:57:21.000 That's the resolution. 0.99
02:57:22.000 Look, we know a lot of crazy women are great actors. 1.00
02:57:24.000 Everybody would watch that. 0.98
02:57:25.000 Just accept her for who she is. 1.00
02:57:26.000 She's crazy. 0.99
02:57:27.000 Everyone would watch that. 1.00
02:57:28.000 Yeah, maybe they can fucking shake hands on this and come together. 0.98
02:57:31.000 Listen, listen, listen. 0.98
02:57:32.000 I've got a better idea. 0.99
02:57:32.000 Instead of us suing each other into oblivion, how about we star in a fucking movie about fellow pirates? 0.99
02:57:38.000 Maybe they fall back in love. 1.00
02:57:41.000 She's the fucking, she's the bad pirate. 1.00
02:57:44.000 And they have to duke it out and eventually they wind up making out. 1.00
02:57:47.000 They fall in love in real life.
02:57:50.000 They fall in love again.
02:57:51.000 No, they kill each other. 0.51
02:57:51.000 No, no, no. 0.51
02:57:52.000 No, they get remarried.
02:57:53.000 The real Johnny Depp and the real Amber Heard get remarried during the making of this movie because they fall in love again while pretending to be in love for this movie.
02:58:00.000 Man, that's twisted.
02:58:01.000 Maybe not.
02:58:02.000 Maybe it's better.
02:58:03.000 What if they're happy, bro?
02:58:04.000 What if they're happy?
02:58:07.000 What if they're happy?
02:58:09.000 What if it works out?
02:58:12.000 You know, there must have been a spark there to begin with there, so I think we could find it again.
02:58:15.000 Well, a lot of those crazy gals are a lot of fun. 1.00
02:58:21.000 It's one of those things. 0.50
02:58:23.000 Poor Johnny.
02:58:24.000 Oh, yeah.
02:58:26.000 Dude, he's talking about getting into a fight and then going down to his bar and pounding six shots of vodka.
02:58:32.000 I'm like, ugh.
02:58:34.000 Yeah, it's intense, man.
02:58:35.000 It's intense.
02:58:36.000 Yeah.
02:58:37.000 He's good friends with my buddy, Doug Stanhope, and he loves the guy.
02:58:42.000 But they put down.
02:58:44.000 Oh, I bet. 1.00
02:58:45.000 They fucking party. 1.00
02:58:46.000 Really? 1.00
02:58:47.000 Oh, my God, there's so much lever damage and so much chaos.
02:58:50.000 But Johnny Depp was a giant Hunter S. Thompson fan.
02:58:55.000 Part of what he likes is this idea of just partying until the wheels fall off.
02:59:00.000 I met Alice Cooper a year ago.
02:59:04.000 He's friends with a good friend of mine.
02:59:07.000 Him and I went golfing.
02:59:09.000 I sat in the golf cart with him for like four hours.
02:59:11.000 It was amazing.
02:59:12.000 That's pretty cool.
02:59:13.000 I mean, he had the best stories of all time.
02:59:16.000 He said he was in the room when Jimi Hendrix first used a wah-wah pedal.
02:59:22.000 Frank Zappa showed it to him.
02:59:24.000 What?
02:59:25.000 Yeah.
02:59:26.000 And Alice Cooper was there.
02:59:27.000 But he was going on about how Johnny Depp was one of his best friends, super nice guy.
02:59:33.000 They had that band together, the Hollywood Vampires.
02:59:36.000 Yeah.
02:59:37.000 Everybody loves a guy.
02:59:39.000 Have you had Alice Cooper on?
02:59:40.000 No.
02:59:41.000 I'd love to. 1.00
02:59:41.000 Holy shit. 1.00
02:59:42.000 I'd love to. 0.99
02:59:43.000 Dude, the story's just... 1.00
02:59:44.000 Holy shit. 0.99
02:59:46.000 You know, he was really good friends with Groucho Marx. 1.00
02:59:49.000 Really?
02:59:50.000 Like, tight, tight friends with Groucho Marx.
02:59:52.000 Wow.
02:59:53.000 Yeah.
02:59:53.000 Oh, you gotta get him.
02:59:54.000 He used to, like, get...
02:59:55.000 He, like, said they would get into, like...
02:59:57.000 Watch movies in Groucho's bed together. 1.00
02:59:59.000 No shit. 1.00
03:00:01.000 That's tight. 1.00
03:00:01.000 That's like best friend shit. 1.00
03:00:03.000 Yeah, like best friend shit. 1.00
03:00:04.000 Wow. 0.99
03:00:06.000 Groucho Marx, you ever see the old ones when you see the actual high-resolution images where you realize his eyebrows were painted on?
03:00:13.000 Have you ever seen that?
03:00:14.000 Oh, yeah.
03:00:14.000 It's so strange.
03:00:16.000 You look at it, it's like, what is that?
03:00:18.000 It's just paint.
03:00:19.000 My dad played all those movies when I was a kid.
03:00:22.000 Same, Duck Suit.
03:00:23.000 How genius was that to do that, though?
03:00:25.000 Because it really did make him a cartoon.
03:00:26.000 Stage makeup.
03:00:28.000 It made him a cartoon. 1.00
03:00:30.000 Groucho was a fucking genius. 1.00
03:00:33.000 Oh, yeah. 1.00
03:00:33.000 Absolutely. 1.00
03:00:34.000 They all were.
03:00:36.000 Look at that.
03:00:37.000 Yes.
03:00:40.000 Wow.
03:00:40.000 I remember when Gilbert Godfrey used to do the old Groucho impression.
03:00:45.000 Remember that?
03:00:47.000 I didn't.
03:00:48.000 I never saw him do that.
03:00:50.000 That's really good.
03:00:51.000 You bet your life.
03:00:53.000 Wow.
03:00:54.000 Dude, amazing.
03:00:55.000 That's some errors right there, son.
03:00:57.000 Yeah.
03:00:58.000 I was just in Phoenix.
03:01:00.000 He's got a Groucho shirt on.
03:01:02.000 Groucho.
03:01:04.000 Yeah, the Marx Brothers.
03:01:06.000 I mean, those first early comedy movies.
03:01:09.000 Oh, my God, yeah.
03:01:10.000 My God.
03:01:11.000 It's...
03:01:12.000 It's a wild thing that Alice Cooper's around and those were, you know, it's like the chain of connecting the two. 0.98
03:01:19.000 Those fucking movies were completely innovative. 0.93
03:01:22.000 There's nothing, anything, ever anything like that. 0.99
03:01:24.000 All of a sudden you got a movie, a comedy duo movie, you know, comedy trio in that sense.
03:01:31.000 Yeah, there'd be no Mel Brooks without the Marx Brothers.
03:01:34.000 Right.
03:01:34.000 Or Laurel and Hardy.
03:01:35.000 I was thinking of Laurel and Hardy.
03:01:36.000 I love Laurel and Hardy.
03:01:37.000 But yeah, Three Stooges, all those guys, like all those early movies, man.
03:01:41.000 My son loves three studios.
03:01:43.000 Oh, same.
03:01:43.000 Yeah.
03:01:44.000 Oh my god.
03:01:44.000 So much fun.
03:01:45.000 It just resonates with kids.
03:01:47.000 It was so goofy.
03:01:48.000 It was so violent.
03:01:49.000 They're always hitting each other in shape.
03:01:50.000 I liked Shemp, too.
03:01:51.000 Yeah, Shemp. 0.78
03:01:52.000 I didn't like Curly Joe, though.
03:01:54.000 That's where I drew the line.
03:01:55.000 Yeah, what happened?
03:01:56.000 Did one of them die?
03:01:57.000 Yeah, Curly.
03:01:58.000 Curly died.
03:01:59.000 Right.
03:01:59.000 He was the superstar.
03:02:00.000 He was the fucking man. 1.00
03:02:01.000 He was the superstar. 1.00
03:02:02.000 Yeah, Shemp was like, you can't replace Curly with Shemp.
03:02:06.000 Right?
03:02:07.000 Well, you know what?
03:02:08.000 He was one of their brothers, I think, too.
03:02:10.000 Oh, was he?
03:02:11.000 He was actually one of their brothers.
03:02:13.000 Yeah.
03:02:14.000 But, um...
03:02:16.000 I liked him.
03:02:17.000 Dude, my allegiance to the Stooges would change every, like, couple days.
03:02:21.000 But weren't there, like, two other ones after?
03:02:23.000 Then it got suspect.
03:02:24.000 And they're like, the guys are really old.
03:02:27.000 They can't hit each other like they used to.
03:02:29.000 Joe Besser and Joe Dorita.
03:02:29.000 What's that?
03:02:30.000 Joe Besser and Joe Dorita.
03:02:31.000 Who are those guys?
03:02:34.000 Yeah, that's Curly Joe.
03:02:36.000 It's like some of the later members of Kiss.
03:02:37.000 This would be Joe Dorita.
03:02:39.000 Larry, Moe, and Curly Joe.
03:02:41.000 Dude, look how old Moe looks in 1959. Yeah.
03:02:44.000 Wow.
03:02:46.000 That's in 59?
03:02:48.000 What year did they start?
03:02:49.000 Early 30s?
03:02:50.000 Yeah.
03:02:51.000 Larry Fine from Philly.
03:02:54.000 34?
03:02:55.000 That's even when they were in Columbia.
03:02:56.000 It's the 20s.
03:02:58.000 Ted Healy and his Stooges is what they were called.
03:03:01.000 The Three Stooges began in 1922. Dude, this guy I know, he took me...
03:03:05.000 He had this recording studio in the Lower East Side.
03:03:09.000 It was...
03:03:10.000 He's like...
03:03:11.000 At an after-hours party, he took me to this thing with some other people.
03:03:15.000 And he walked into the apartment building up to the second floor.
03:03:19.000 There's a hidden door opened up to this hidden vaudeville theater from the 20s.
03:03:24.000 It was just...
03:03:25.000 Amazing.
03:03:26.000 To the East Village, the East Side of New York, just such crazy history there.
03:03:31.000 Crazy vaudeville stuff.
03:03:32.000 Those old theaters like that, you go into those old vaudeville style theaters like, it's just a feel, like you feel the experiences almost burned into the walls.
03:03:40.000 Oh yeah.
03:03:41.000 Absolutely.
03:03:42.000 You know, the Ryman's like that.
03:03:45.000 You know, where you guys are, where they did the Grand Ole Opry.
03:03:48.000 That place is like, you walk in that building, you're like, woo!
03:03:52.000 Yeah, there's ghosts there.
03:03:53.000 It's burned into the walls.
03:03:55.000 It's like experiences.
03:03:57.000 People's good times are burned into the walls of that place.
03:03:59.000 We had a good theater in downtown Akron.
03:04:02.000 The Civic.
03:04:04.000 Still there?
03:04:05.000 With the stars and the clouds that would slowly move.
03:04:09.000 Oh, wow.
03:04:09.000 So it felt like you're inside a castle.
03:04:12.000 Oh, wow.
03:04:14.000 It's cool.
03:04:15.000 We almost got kicked out of the Ryman the first time we played there.
03:04:18.000 How come?
03:04:19.000 This is it?
03:04:19.000 That's the Civic.
03:04:20.000 Fuck, that's dope. 1.00
03:04:21.000 So that ceiling rotates? 1.00
03:04:23.000 No, it's projected, I think.
03:04:25.000 Oh.
03:04:26.000 And slowly the clouds move and the stars twinkle.
03:04:32.000 I just remember being a kid there and being absolutely mesmerized.
03:04:37.000 So they've been doing it that way for a long time.
03:04:38.000 I wonder how they did that back in the day with a projector.
03:04:40.000 I saw Tom Waits there, too. 0.96
03:04:43.000 How the fuck did they do that way back then with a projector? 0.89
03:04:45.000 They had projectors that good back then? 0.99
03:04:47.000 I don't know how they did it, man.
03:04:48.000 Pretty dope.
03:04:51.000 Yeah, something about those old places that just have experienced so many different shows, they really do feel different.
03:04:58.000 They have like a feel to them.
03:04:59.000 So many of them were torn down, man. 0.99
03:05:01.000 It's so crazy to think about all the crazy shit that's been built and torn down. 0.99
03:05:05.000 I've watched this thing about the Vanderbilt mansions in New York. 0.99
03:05:11.000 Dude, these crazy opulent houses that would have cost like a billion dollars to build, just tear it down and put like a Dwayne Reade on it. 1.00
03:05:19.000 Oh, fuck. 1.00
03:05:20.000 So insane. 1.00
03:05:22.000 When did they do this?
03:05:23.000 Dude, they tore them all down like a long time ago, like in the 30s.
03:05:26.000 Oh, my God. 1.00
03:05:27.000 Put up some bullshit. 1.00
03:05:28.000 Now it's all like, you know, yeah, who fucking knows. 1.00
03:05:32.000 It's a raised pizza. 0.88
03:05:35.000 There's certain places that why don't they qualify for like historical protection like there's certain places like if you if you go to the like if you go to Hollywood and you pass by the Comedy Store the Comedy Store is like a historical place it should be like in a book somewhere like you can't fuck with it like leave it alone like that's a historical place there should be a few of those we need like a few bars a few perform like the whiskey imagine they turn the whiskey into like a drugstore You'd be like,
03:06:02.000 what?
03:06:02.000 Aren't they?
03:06:03.000 Is it the whiskey or is it the Roxy?
03:06:04.000 Something's about to get turned into something.
03:06:06.000 Really?
03:06:06.000 The CBGBs, they, you know.
03:06:08.000 That's gone.
03:06:09.000 They ripped that thing apart.
03:06:10.000 But the Roxy is right next door to that famous Rainbow Bar and Grill, right?
03:06:18.000 I think that's the one that's getting converted to something.
03:06:25.000 Because there's the whiskey on that street and the Roxy.
03:06:27.000 The Roxy's right next to the rainbow.
03:06:29.000 I think that's where Kinison filmed his first HBO special, too.
03:06:34.000 Dude, we used to go into the rainbow when we first started going to L.A. And Lemmy from Motorhead would just always be at the little video game machine in the corner.
03:06:45.000 Just sit there and watch this rock star just to pound Roman Cokes, just playing this game.
03:06:51.000 That was their spot.
03:06:52.000 That was their spot, man.
03:06:54.000 Yeah. 0.98
03:06:54.000 Pretty fucking decent food. 0.98
03:06:56.000 Pizza's pretty good. 0.99
03:06:58.000 Not bad.
03:06:59.000 Fun spot to hang out, but it was always like old rock guys.
03:07:02.000 It was always old rock guys.
03:07:03.000 We were there.
03:07:04.000 One time Jason Bonham was there.
03:07:05.000 He came up to me.
03:07:07.000 He didn't know who we were.
03:07:08.000 He was just like at the bar.
03:07:10.000 In town for something.
03:07:12.000 He's like, first time I came here. 1.00
03:07:15.000 I ordered a steak and got my dick sucked up. 1.00
03:07:19.000 Under the table. 1.00
03:07:20.000 I'm like, what the fuck? 1.00
03:07:22.000 I'm like, you're really drinking Diet Cokes. 1.00
03:07:27.000 That rock star world.
03:07:29.000 Dude, back in the 80s, yeah.
03:07:31.000 Insane.
03:07:32.000 The 80s were the cocaine days, too, right?
03:07:34.000 That's the Miami Vice days.
03:07:38.000 That's when people are going crazy. 0.99
03:07:39.000 Dude, every old rock star guy, they're always like, oh my god, I'm so glad cell phones weren't around when we were doing this shit. 0.99
03:07:45.000 The Viper Room. 0.98
03:07:46.000 What?
03:07:47.000 No!
03:07:49.000 Drugs, dolls, and Johnny Depp.
03:07:51.000 The Viper Room's demolition is the end of a Hollywood era.
03:07:54.000 That's not fair.
03:07:56.000 What are they doing?
03:07:59.000 That's not smart, kids.
03:08:01.000 Oh, you gotta register to keep reading.
03:08:04.000 Ugh.
03:08:06.000 I feel the same way about recording studios.
03:08:08.000 There's so few classic studios that still exist.
03:08:12.000 And when you go into a real, old, cool studio, it's so amazing.
03:08:18.000 Well, I would imagine for you guys, it's also like the Comedy Store is to me.
03:08:22.000 It's like a historic thing.
03:08:24.000 There's a long part of your craft, your art is tied up in a building like that.
03:08:30.000 I never get tired of going to Motown.
03:08:33.000 Studios when we go to Detroit.
03:08:35.000 I mean, it blows my mind.
03:08:36.000 I love it in there.
03:08:37.000 Yeah. 1.00
03:08:38.000 Can't get enough of that shit. 1.00
03:08:39.000 We went to Stax. 1.00
03:08:40.000 First time we went to Memphis.
03:08:42.000 Abbey Road.
03:08:44.000 We made a record at Muscle Shoals Sound.
03:08:47.000 Wow. 1.00
03:08:47.000 Before they made the documentary and stuff, it was just a rundown piece of shit building. 1.00
03:08:52.000 Like, nothing worked in there. 0.99
03:08:53.000 The guy that bought it lived in the basement.
03:08:56.000 It was so trippy and weird.
03:08:59.000 And we were in there.
03:09:02.000 This is 2009. And there was nothing to do.
03:09:05.000 Nothing worked.
03:09:06.000 And we ended up making a record Brothers there. 0.98
03:09:08.000 And it was the first platinum record made there in like 30 fucking years. 0.97
03:09:15.000 And they made that documentary. 0.98
03:09:17.000 They never even mentioned ours.
03:09:21.000 They should preserve those places.
03:09:23.000 They should do something to preserve.
03:09:25.000 I mean, that's...
03:09:25.000 Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Drace bought it or donated a bunch of money and now it's like...
03:09:29.000 It looks like it did in 1969. It's been restored.
03:09:32.000 It wasn't like that when we were there. 0.99
03:09:35.000 It was so fucked up. 0.99
03:09:36.000 It did a good job. 1.00
03:09:37.000 It looks amazing.
03:09:38.000 The nickname of the place was the Burlap Palace because all the walls were burlap.
03:09:42.000 The little movable walls were all burlap and they were all bright, 60s colors.
03:09:48.000 Only one speaker worked in the control room.
03:09:51.000 We've made that record in mono.
03:09:54.000 Wow.
03:09:56.000 But that city's magical.
03:09:58.000 Muscle Shoals.
03:09:59.000 There's so many hits came out of that small town.
03:10:01.000 What do you think that is?
03:10:03.000 Like, how does something like that happen?
03:10:05.000 Yeah, that's the building.
03:10:07.000 I mean, there's all kinds of legends, you know, about...
03:10:14.000 Some Native American spirits in the river.
03:10:17.000 Let me see that inside again, Jamie.
03:10:19.000 That picture right there.
03:10:20.000 Yeah. 0.98
03:10:21.000 Damn, there's something cool about that. 0.99
03:10:22.000 That's in the basement there. 0.99
03:10:24.000 That's a room in the basement.
03:10:25.000 So that's where you hang out in those rooms to the side of the recording studio?
03:10:27.000 No, that's where the guys lived, I guess.
03:10:29.000 We never went down in the basement.
03:10:31.000 He lived here?
03:10:32.000 There was one room in the basement.
03:10:33.000 Look at that.
03:10:34.000 That's the control room.
03:10:35.000 See the space-aged angle?
03:10:37.000 That's dope. 0.93
03:10:39.000 There's footage of the Rolling Stones recording Wild Horses.
03:10:43.000 Jim Dickinson. 0.99
03:10:45.000 In that couch up front, they were just getting fucked up. 0.93
03:10:49.000 Eddie Hinton slept on that couch all the time, apparently. 0.98
03:10:53.000 Wow.
03:10:55.000 It's got so much history.
03:10:58.000 I mean, that's obviously part of it, too, and that's such a famous facade.
03:11:02.000 So many photographs taken in front of it.
03:11:03.000 It was a casket warehouse, was it?
03:11:06.000 I don't know.
03:11:06.000 See, that just seems like it absolutely should be preserved.
03:11:11.000 There's places like that.
03:11:12.000 It has been, thankfully, but there's so many places that it just disappeared.
03:11:16.000 That's the updated working facility now.
03:11:20.000 It's a super communist thing to say you shouldn't be allowed to sell it.
03:11:24.000 But it's almost like that's bigger than people.
03:11:30.000 We loved being there.
03:11:32.000 I would imagine, man.
03:11:33.000 We were so inspired just being there.
03:11:37.000 So there's how many of those across the country that are on that level?
03:11:40.000 Fewer and fewer every year.
03:11:41.000 Every year one major studio closes.
03:11:44.000 New York City doesn't even...
03:11:46.000 I mean, New York City had the Cadillac recording studios all over and they're just like...
03:11:51.000 They don't have them anymore?
03:11:52.000 No, they just really don't exist anymore.
03:11:54.000 Electric Lady is like the spot, but that was open a month before Hendrix died and... 0.67
03:12:01.000 Some great shit's been made there, but it's...
03:12:04.000 No, I mean like earlier, kind of golden age. 0.98
03:12:06.000 Yeah, it's not like golden age.
03:12:07.000 50s, 60s.
03:12:09.000 Yeah, that's the cool thing about Abbey Road.
03:12:10.000 You go in there and, I mean...
03:12:12.000 Nothing's changed.
03:12:13.000 Really?
03:12:14.000 It's amazing.
03:12:15.000 We recorded a little TV show there once, a British show.
03:12:19.000 Where they'd be set up in a Beatles room and, you know, do your thing.
03:12:24.000 They had that echo chamber where they said they would go and smoke weed before the takes and stuff.
03:12:29.000 Does it feel weird to be walking around where the Beatles were hanging out?
03:12:32.000 Oh yeah, of course.
03:12:34.000 What does it feel like?
03:12:35.000 I mean, to be in the studio, to walk the stairs, there's one tiny little staircase that you have to go up and down to go to the control room.
03:12:42.000 So you'd play, run up the stairs to go listen to playback.
03:12:46.000 We were doing the same routine.
03:12:48.000 Wow.
03:12:49.000 It's just, it's amazing.
03:12:50.000 Yeah, it's amazing.
03:12:51.000 Imagine if you could see it in a documentary, if they showed you them doing it, and then you guys doing it years later.
03:12:58.000 Going down the same stairs, you know, in the same legendary building.
03:13:04.000 There's a guy named Rupert Sheldrake, and he has this concept that he promotes called Morphic Resonance.
03:13:11.000 And part of it is that, like, I'm gonna butcher this.
03:13:15.000 Part of it is that everything has, like, some sort of memory to it.
03:13:20.000 Everything does.
03:13:21.000 Including, like, objects have memories.
03:13:23.000 It's one of the reasons I think...
03:13:25.000 Well, think about what recording studios have.
03:13:28.000 Like, those magical moments that were one-take, one-of-a-kind moments. 0.99
03:13:33.000 And everybody was there, like, reveling in it, like, fuck yeah! 0.98
03:13:38.000 And that's, like, burned into the walls. 1.00
03:13:40.000 Mm-hmm.
03:13:41.000 And... 0.99
03:13:42.000 Countless hours of that, decade after decade, with different kinds of musicians, and different backgrounds, and different fucking styles, and burned into the walls. 0.97
03:13:53.000 I definitely kind of like to believe in that. 0.91
03:13:57.000 There's been some...
03:13:58.000 I've never been in a room that I thought was pretty haunted, but I've been around objects, at least like...
03:14:07.000 Felt like there was something, you know, going on with it.
03:14:11.000 Yeah. 0.98
03:14:12.000 Like, especially certain instruments, you know, like it's not like it's like, there's a, you hold it, you can tell it's something, you know, or some freaky ass fucking furniture or something. 0.50
03:14:24.000 I don't believe in ghosts, but I don't not believe in ghosts. 0.94
03:14:27.000 I'm with you.
03:14:29.000 You know, if there really were ghosts, like if it's a very rare occurrence that something pops over from the dimension of the dead for a quick second or two and freaks you out and pops back over, I don't think that would be weird.
03:14:41.000 I think life is weird.
03:14:42.000 The whole thing.
03:14:43.000 The fact that we come out of vaginas, the fact that we have a finite lifespan, the fact that we're hurling through infinity on a spinning rock, all those things. 0.99
03:14:53.000 How the fuck would ghosts be any weirder than the reality of life? 0.99
03:14:56.000 Like, every now and then, when someone dies, they leave, like, behind an echo. 0.99
03:15:00.000 And that echo, you see it, like, running across the field, and you can't believe your eyes.
03:15:05.000 Why is that weird?
03:15:07.000 Being alive is weird. 0.99
03:15:10.000 Ghosts ain't shit. 0.99
03:15:11.000 We're with you, man. 0.99
03:15:12.000 You know, I do feel like whenever I've been around something that felt like kind of supernatural, the memory of it just gets distorted and changed very quickly. 0.96
03:15:22.000 It's like, what the fuck did I just see?
03:15:25.000 And then you diminish it in your mind. 0.99
03:15:27.000 You rationalize what it was.
03:15:30.000 Your blimp.
03:15:30.000 The blimp story.
03:15:31.000 Yeah.
03:15:31.000 Yeah, what if you didn't notice that it was a blimp?
03:15:34.000 What if you really freaked out and you ran into the bathroom?
03:15:36.000 For the rest of your life, you had a story about almost being abducted when you were a kid.
03:15:40.000 That's totally possible. 0.99
03:15:41.000 I was driving in Ohio at dusk once, and I saw this fucking huge ball of fires flying through the fucking air. 0.99
03:15:50.000 It was insane. 0.98
03:15:52.000 I stopped my car in the middle of the road, and everybody started honking at me like, you should go. 0.99
03:15:58.000 I was like, what the fuck? 0.99
03:16:00.000 This is a giant flaming ball flying over northeast Ohio. 0.99
03:16:04.000 This is, like, 2001. And I told everybody, like, I saw, like, this thing, and it was like, nah, man.
03:16:10.000 And then the next day, there was a little blurb in the newspaper, like, other people had seen this thing. 0.99
03:16:14.000 But it was like, now when I talk about it, like, what did I really, what the fuck was it? 0.96
03:16:19.000 It's just, like, it was so... 0.99
03:16:22.000 Jarring.
03:16:22.000 Jarring, yeah.
03:16:23.000 That your memory is distorted.
03:16:24.000 I've had a lot of things like that.
03:16:26.000 Sure.
03:16:26.000 Anything that's supernatural.
03:16:28.000 When I was in the woods once in Alberta, I saw a wolf.
03:16:31.000 I thought it was a wolf.
03:16:32.000 For a second, it was a squirrel.
03:16:34.000 I was like, I saw a wolf.
03:16:36.000 Like, I thought first, I saw a gray moving quickly, and I thought maybe it was something behind those trees and larger, and I was only seeing a piece of, no, it was running on the log, and it was just gray.
03:16:47.000 I was like, okay.
03:16:48.000 But for a second, not even a second, but like, whatever the initial thing is, I literally thought I was seeing a wolf.
03:16:54.000 And then I realized it was a squirrel.
03:16:56.000 There's this show called The Jules Holland Show.
03:16:58.000 It's a British show, and bands play live.
03:17:01.000 And we played it the first time, and Paul McCartney was on it, playing.
03:17:05.000 And I called my dad afterwards.
03:17:06.000 I was like, I just met a Beatle.
03:17:09.000 And he's like, what was he like?
03:17:10.000 I was like, how many?
03:17:11.000 He's like, tall and...
03:17:13.000 Like, my image of Paul McCartney was instantly distorted than what I actually saw. 0.98
03:17:19.000 I was just like, Dan's like, what the fuck are you talking about? 0.95
03:17:22.000 I was like, his head was big and... 0.99
03:17:24.000 I was like, literally, my brain saw Paul McCartney and was just like, larger than life.
03:17:35.000 The thing about the alien abduction thing is the same thing as the night terror thing.
03:17:39.000 It all comes from people laying down.
03:17:42.000 A giant percentage of these stories come from either people that are asleep in a car or fall asleep in a car or people that are asleep at their home.
03:17:50.000 And I think there's probably something to all these chemicals that your brain produces that create dreams. 0.98
03:17:56.000 And that people, when they're going into that little realm, when they're sleeping, there's some fucking sketchy times in there, and you can convince yourself that you're getting transported through fucking walls. 0.97
03:18:06.000 That makes sense. 0.96
03:18:07.000 But it doesn't remove the possibility that there really are aliens here either.
03:18:12.000 Because if I was an alien, I would for sure watch us.
03:18:17.000 I'm a human and I can't take my eyes off Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. 1.00
03:18:21.000 Imagine if you were from another planet and you were trying to pay attention to how fucked up we are. 0.99
03:18:26.000 Like, look at these people. 1.00
03:18:28.000 Look at this fucking disaster they have going on here. 1.00
03:18:30.000 Oh my god, they're over the fucking brink of war for almost nothing. 1.00
03:18:34.000 Or if you're intelligent enough to hurl yourself light years away from your own planet, you might show up here and be like, man, everyone's a complete idiot. 1.00
03:18:45.000 But then again, we like to watch that on TV. And when I say the brink of war for almost nothing, what I mean is that it didn't have to happen. 1.00
03:18:55.000 This is like Russia doing that, invading Ukraine.
03:18:58.000 There's no reason to do that.
03:19:00.000 The whole thing is insane that we're that close to a hot war again.
03:19:05.000 It freaks me the fuck out all the time.
03:19:07.000 Because I'm like, this doesn't have to happen.
03:19:10.000 This totally didn't have to happen.
03:19:13.000 It's not like somebody launched missiles at you.
03:19:16.000 There's been some back and forth.
03:19:18.000 This is an invasion.
03:19:19.000 That's what's so weird about it.
03:19:20.000 Watching a country get invaded by Russia is like, whoa!
03:19:24.000 It's odd, man. 0.97
03:19:25.000 It's fucking weird, and I think it ramps up the normal level of anxiety of people, like, many points. 0.87
03:19:31.000 I know it does mine, because I'm like, you know, it's been a while, nothing seems to have happened. 0.98
03:19:35.000 I'm like, you can get real comfortable, like, thinking it's going to be fine.
03:19:38.000 Eh, nothing's going to happen.
03:19:39.000 It's all a bunch of bluster, and then all of a sudden, boom, boom.
03:19:44.000 We were on tour in Europe in 2014 when that airliner got shot down over Ukraine.
03:19:52.000 It made me feel really weird.
03:19:54.000 Still, does anybody know what happened there?
03:19:57.000 I don't know what the true story is, because you have an explanation, an official explanation.
03:20:02.000 I think they said it was an accident.
03:20:04.000 Isn't that what they said?
03:20:05.000 By who?
03:20:05.000 I don't know.
03:20:07.000 That's what I'm saying.
03:20:08.000 I mean, I'm sure there's some information about it, but I'm not aware of it.
03:20:12.000 Are you aware of it?
03:20:12.000 Do you remember the story?
03:20:15.000 I don't.
03:20:16.000 I remember it happening when we were there.
03:20:19.000 I mean, I didn't remember it until you just mentioned that. 1.00
03:20:22.000 Every country is run by a bunch of fucking psychos. 1.00
03:20:25.000 They're all trying to out-psycho each other. 1.00
03:20:27.000 If we could just all get along here.
03:20:29.000 It's weird when you're far away from home and something crazy happens.
03:20:31.000 Oh, yeah.
03:20:32.000 It's really...
03:20:33.000 Well, how about those people that got on the road when 9-11 happened and they couldn't get home?
03:20:38.000 Because there was no flying.
03:20:39.000 Yeah.
03:20:42.000 I know people that were renting cars and driving all the way across the country.
03:20:46.000 Because there was a time period of, I don't remember how many days, where there was no flying.
03:20:51.000 It was like a week at least, I think.
03:20:54.000 Because I saw something flying when that happened in Akron.
03:20:57.000 It's one of those things where...
03:20:58.000 It's one of those memories that's just, like, all distorted. 0.95
03:21:01.000 But it was during the no-fly zone, whatever the fuck was going on. 0.91
03:21:05.000 It was right over... 0.80
03:21:06.000 It was near Lorain, Ohio, which is where the FAA headquarters, where they track all the flights are.
03:21:13.000 Oh, wow.
03:21:13.000 It was driving...
03:21:15.000 My girlfriend back to college.
03:21:17.000 She went to Oberlin College.
03:21:19.000 And it's like middle of nowhere.
03:21:21.000 Same road, actually, where I saw this flaming ball.
03:21:23.000 Like, literally.
03:21:24.000 It was like a day later or something.
03:21:27.000 It's nighttime.
03:21:27.000 I was driving, and I saw this light hovering above a house.
03:21:31.000 And I was like, what the fuck is that? 0.99
03:21:33.000 And I was driving the Ford Escort stick shift. 0.99
03:21:36.000 And I put it into neutral and rolled down the windows. 0.99
03:21:40.000 And I was looking at this fucking thing hovering above this house a couple hundred feet above it. 0.99
03:21:45.000 Just like, what the fuck is it? 1.00
03:21:47.000 Scared the shit out of me. 0.99
03:21:48.000 I was like, my girlfriend at the time had a cell phone. 0.60
03:21:51.000 I was like, turn your cell phone on.
03:21:52.000 This isn't normal. 0.99
03:21:54.000 I don't know what the fuck it is. 0.99
03:21:55.000 The minute her Nextel logo popped up, the thing just, not at a supernatural, crazy speed, but fast as fuck, and silently, it just left. 0.99
03:22:06.000 So the moment her cell phone came on, it left? 0.85
03:22:08.000 Left.
03:22:09.000 Left.
03:22:10.000 Do you think it was a drone?
03:22:12.000 Do you think it's like some experimental aircraft they're working on?
03:22:15.000 I mean, the drones didn't exist in 2001 that I knew of.
03:22:17.000 But if I think back, it was something like that.
03:22:19.000 Had to have been.
03:22:20.000 Well, I don't know when drones were invented.
03:22:24.000 Do you know when drones were invented?
03:22:25.000 I bet they were around.
03:22:26.000 For sure they were around.
03:22:27.000 Military versions of them, right?
03:22:28.000 Oh, for sure.
03:22:29.000 Yeah.
03:22:30.000 When all this stuff happened, when Tom DeLonge came to our show and really freaked me out, I ended up getting in touch with someone who worked for the Department of Energy.
03:22:37.000 Whoa.
03:22:38.000 How's that conversation go?
03:22:40.000 Basically, they were like, the amount of money that the government spends on technology is so astounding that there's technology created every year that's harmful because it will destabilize the world.
03:22:59.000 Jeez.
03:23:00.000 And, like, the fact that it exists, you can't even acknowledge that it exists, but every country kind of has it. 0.87
03:23:07.000 And these things are so fucking terrifying. 0.90
03:23:10.000 Oh, my God. 0.86
03:23:11.000 That, like, you can't even talk about them existing.
03:23:15.000 So the idea of, like, disinformation, that it's an alien or something, that's...
03:23:18.000 What this person was saying.
03:23:20.000 But they were like, you know, if you have to figure like that there's like, you know, 500 billion or whatever it is, dollars spent on military and, you know, like 60% of it or something is like black projects. 0.85
03:23:31.000 No one even knows where it's going.
03:23:34.000 They're just like, yeah, you know.
03:23:35.000 And if you think about the amount of money that we've spent on military, it's like, it's kind of insane. 0.99
03:23:41.000 But then that's when I realized like, oh yeah, like, The world we live in, and that's where I kind of had this thing where I was like, oh, no shit. 0.97
03:23:49.000 We tax ourselves to pay the money back to ourselves. 0.97
03:23:52.000 It's like we've created our own inferno of cash to keep the economy where it is. 1.00
03:24:01.000 We have such a large economy because we're spending our own money on our own shit. 0.99
03:24:07.000 So there's like, oh, okay. 0.99
03:24:12.000 I'm very concerned about where all this goes because I wonder if like our reliance on technology as well as like these these weapons that they're developing that can go faster than the speed of sound by many times it could take turns and who knows what else they have who knows what antimatter weapons with fucking Dude, 0.89
03:24:32.000 the deepfake stuff?
03:24:34.000 Everyone's like, oh, it's funny to make Tom Cruise, anybody, like, Tom Cruise, like, that's, like...
03:24:39.000 So good.
03:24:40.000 Oh, yeah, it's funny, but, hey, that's, like, it's already out.
03:24:43.000 They've been doing that.
03:24:44.000 Forever.
03:24:45.000 Forever.
03:24:46.000 Yeah.
03:24:46.000 Kendrick Lamar just released a video, like, today or yesterday.
03:24:49.000 It's just all deepfakes.
03:24:51.000 Wow.
03:24:52.000 It's crazy.
03:24:53.000 What is him doing?
03:24:54.000 It's just him turning into different people.
03:24:56.000 Whoa.
03:24:57.000 Jussie Smollett.
03:24:59.000 Whoa.
03:24:59.000 Will Smith.
03:25:02.000 Yeah, we're not going to have any idea what's true.
03:25:04.000 This is a short amount of time.
03:25:05.000 Unless you take the brain chip.
03:25:08.000 With the brain chip, we're all going to be fine.
03:25:10.000 We'll be synced up together.
03:25:11.000 There'll be no lying.
03:25:13.000 Do it for everyone else.
03:25:15.000 Get the brain chip.
03:25:16.000 Come on, Pat.
03:25:17.000 Yeah.
03:25:18.000 Get the brain chip.
03:25:19.000 I think we're going to become aliens.
03:25:21.000 And I'm not kidding.
03:25:22.000 Is this Kendrick Lamar's video?
03:25:24.000 Whoa! 0.71
03:25:26.000 Oh my god.
03:25:28.000 That's crazy.
03:25:29.000 That is so weird.
03:25:31.000 That is so good.
03:25:33.000 Look how good it is now.
03:25:34.000 Oh my god, it's Kanye.
03:25:37.000 I mean, how good is this technology now?
03:25:41.000 It's insane.
03:25:43.000 It's a lot better than when Snoop Dogg morphed into the Doberman Pinscher or whatever.
03:25:48.000 Yeah, remember that?
03:25:48.000 It's almost perfect.
03:25:51.000 It's almost perfect, right?
03:25:54.000 Like, maybe if it was, like, really well lit and in high resolution, you'd be able to detect some weirdness.
03:26:00.000 But the way it's lit here, it's perfect.
03:26:03.000 Like, that Will Smith, that's so strange!
03:26:06.000 God, that's crazy.
03:26:08.000 That's so strange.
03:26:10.000 Yeah.
03:26:12.000 It's terrifying.
03:26:14.000 How long before we can actually make one of those?
03:26:16.000 Like, make a person that you see on television.
03:26:19.000 Like, I like you.
03:26:19.000 I'm gonna make one, just like you.
03:26:21.000 Keep it in my house. 1.00
03:26:22.000 Like, what the fuck, man? 0.99
03:26:23.000 How long before that happens where they can make artificial versions of a person? 0.99
03:26:28.000 I think they'll have a reasonable facsimile of a human being in about 30 or 40 years.
03:26:33.000 They'll be fake people.
03:26:35.000 I like the conspiracy theory that Elon bought Twitter so that he could perfect his AI. I don't know if that's a good...
03:26:43.000 Who knows?
03:26:44.000 I don't know.
03:26:45.000 I think what he really wants to do is try to balance out the idea that people should be able to speak.
03:26:51.000 Oh, I think so.
03:26:52.000 I think that's the real thing.
03:26:54.000 But maybe he's working on AI too.
03:26:57.000 Yeah.
03:26:58.000 Both can be true.
03:26:59.000 Both can be true.
03:27:00.000 When you're talking about AI, what should they do?
03:27:04.000 Should they not do AI at all because it's eventually going to be smarter than us and take over?
03:27:09.000 Or should they get ahead of it to figure out how to stop it from taking over the world before it does?
03:27:18.000 It's beyond my pay-grant.
03:27:20.000 Does not compute.
03:27:23.000 That's the big fear, though.
03:27:24.000 The big fear is that artificial intelligence is gonna become sentient.
03:27:28.000 It's gonna make its own decisions and decide that we're irrelevant and just eliminate us.
03:27:32.000 We cause problems where we're shutting the power off on it and trying to kill it.
03:27:36.000 When SkyNet comes online.
03:27:37.000 Yeah, that might be... 1.00
03:27:38.000 Look, Elon's scared of that shit. 1.00
03:27:41.000 When someone as smart as him is scared of that shit, I start thinking about it. 1.00
03:27:44.000 I agree. 1.00
03:27:46.000 That's what I'm worried about with all this Pentagon UFO type stuff.
03:27:50.000 It's really just some drones, some things they've been developing. 0.96
03:27:56.000 My favorite thing was, like, you know, people were talking about, like, Russian disinformation propaganda on social media, and I'm like, wait, the whole thing is fucked with. 0.98
03:28:06.000 Yeah. 0.93
03:28:06.000 Like, everything, you know, like, I don't, I... I don't know. 0.93
03:28:13.000 Every side's being fucked with. 1.00
03:28:15.000 Yeah, everything's fucked with. 0.99
03:28:17.000 Propaganda's all... 0.98
03:28:18.000 That's why social media, to me, yesterday was Mother's Day, and I was just like, man, this is...
03:28:22.000 I feel guilty not posting something about my own mom, but what do I... The whole thing's confusing.
03:28:30.000 Then you sit there and you see people posting about Ukraine, and it's like, what the fuck? 0.97
03:28:35.000 I honestly, I just don't... 0.99
03:28:38.000 I just feel like people are compelled to, like, you know, some sort of algorithms compelling people to, like, I don't know, take sides, get involved with shit. 0.92
03:28:47.000 I think that that's all part of it, you know what I mean? 0.92
03:28:49.000 Like, to really feel strongly about something, like, that maybe someone otherwise wouldn't be.
03:28:54.000 Like, someone I've never mentioned, I've heard mentioned, like, Ukraine or something now, like, posting the thing, wearing the pin, like...
03:29:01.000 I don't know.
03:29:02.000 I mean, the U.S. just invaded, like, a couple countries and destroyed them.
03:29:06.000 A friend of mine was in the military, and he went to, you know, he's part of the Iraq War, multiple tours over there. 0.98
03:29:13.000 He's like, yeah, that was, like, the most pointless fucking thing the U.S. has ever done. 0.93
03:29:18.000 He's like, Afghanistan? 0.99
03:29:20.000 Worthwhile, but the Iraq thing was very bizarre.
03:29:23.000 Well, the fact that so many people thought there was actually weapons of mass destruction over there, and there weren't.
03:29:28.000 But it's, you know, there's no arguing that Saddam Hussein was a terrible person either, though. 0.96
03:29:34.000 It's so confusing.
03:29:35.000 But if you want to become the policeman for the world, we're going to get in a lot of fights.
03:29:40.000 There's a lot of fights out there to be had.
03:29:43.000 Unless someone knows the Avengers.
03:29:45.000 I don't think this is a good idea.
03:29:46.000 It doesn't seem like a good idea.
03:29:50.000 Yeah, we can barely keep it together over here.
03:29:51.000 We're holding on tooth and claw to democracy over here. 0.97
03:29:56.000 Yeah, that's why I've always felt like, you know, it's just like it's so easy to be a hypocrite.
03:30:01.000 Not to the point, I don't want to be like too cynical, where it's like you shouldn't feel anything about anything, but like there's always another side to it.
03:30:06.000 There's always something else going on.
03:30:08.000 And when you see something like Russia invading Ukraine, It's hard to then also look at, you know, the human rights violations are all around the world, you know, and that we're buying our phones from places that are,
03:30:26.000 you know...
03:30:29.000 Basically, having almost forced labor.
03:30:31.000 I don't know. 0.99
03:30:33.000 It's too much for me to fucking process. 0.94
03:30:35.000 But I do think there's mass manipulation just in general. 0.96
03:30:40.000 Social media, it's guilty before innocent and it's just harsh and the whole thing. 0.92
03:30:48.000 Watching what happened to you the last couple months was just ridiculous. 0.97
03:30:54.000 And infuriating. 0.72
03:30:55.000 I got into so many arguments about it because I listen to your show pretty religiously.
03:31:01.000 I love the fact that you highlight so many different points of view.
03:31:04.000 And I never took the show as being anti-whatever.
03:31:11.000 Anti-vax.
03:31:12.000 Anti-vax. 0.99
03:31:14.000 And to hear people close to me saying, oh yeah, it's like horse glue or whatever the fuck, you know, horse dewormer. 0.99
03:31:22.000 I was like, You know what? 0.99
03:31:23.000 That's actually ridiculous because he must not listen to the show because he just...
03:31:27.000 That's not really what the message has been about. 0.61
03:31:29.000 But I think that there's a lot of that, man. 0.98
03:31:30.000 People just get on board and don't understand the whole fucking situation all the time. 0.97
03:31:35.000 Well, people were scared. 0.99
03:31:37.000 It was in the middle of a pandemic and the anxiety was higher than ever. 1.00
03:31:40.000 And when they felt that someone was being an idiot, they were very aggressive about it. 0.99
03:31:44.000 It became a different way of communicating. 0.99
03:31:46.000 And if...
03:31:47.000 Someone wants to push a narrative that you're taking veterinary medicine, and they just get it out there.
03:31:54.000 It gets out there, and all these people go, God!
03:31:56.000 And then they just respond, and then you get chaos.
03:31:59.000 You know, I took a series of medications that my doctor prescribed, and they worked.
03:32:04.000 And I was better in a few days.
03:32:06.000 Made for some good memes.
03:32:07.000 Yeah, made for some good memes.
03:32:09.000 But it was only one of the things that I took.
03:32:10.000 I took monoclonal antibodies, too.
03:32:13.000 I said that, too.
03:32:13.000 I said that in all of it.
03:32:14.000 But you come to realize it's not about news.
03:32:20.000 It's not about telling the truth.
03:32:21.000 It's about these weird narratives that are trying to get to move people in one direction or the other.
03:32:25.000 And it's shocking how easy it is to get people to move.
03:32:29.000 It's weird.
03:32:30.000 It's very weird.
03:32:30.000 Weird how easy it is to get people to comply, even if it's for their own good.
03:32:34.000 I'm not saying it's not.
03:32:35.000 But it's weird how so many people barked at the people behind them, barked at the people that were non-compliant.
03:32:41.000 How many people, like in LA, they were actually giving you money to snitch on people? 0.99
03:32:45.000 Holy shit. 0.98
03:32:46.000 Yeah, they were telling you they'll give you money if you snitch on your neighbors who are having parties when they're not supposed to have parties. 0.99
03:32:52.000 Like, what kind of fucking Orwell world are you willing to accept Just for this one thing, like if this is a test run to see how people respond to a real pandemic, a real terrifying one, like the Spanish flu or like the Black Plague or something crazy,
03:33:09.000 well guess what? 0.97
03:33:10.000 We got an F. We got an F on one that doesn't even...
03:33:13.000 I mean, it's mostly old people and people with comorbidities and some young people, but it's not...
03:33:22.000 It's not as bad as the Black Plague. 0.90
03:33:24.000 It's not as bad as bubonic plague and all these different fucking diseases that ravaged humanity, smallpox, killed 90% of the Native Americans. 1.00
03:33:35.000 I mean, if one of those fucking hits us, shit. 1.00
03:33:38.000 With all this democracy as we know it, it's going to evaporate. 1.00
03:33:47.000 If you go to L.A. tomorrow for the first time in a long time, LA's making a comeback.
03:33:52.000 It's like slowly relaxing.
03:33:55.000 LA's just heightened state of anxiety is still a little above Nashville for sure, but they're coming back to normal.
03:34:03.000 Yeah, I'm curious to see what the scene's like.
03:34:06.000 Haven't been there in a minute.
03:34:07.000 No.
03:34:08.000 Be careful out there.
03:34:10.000 It's wild.
03:34:11.000 The West is wild again.
03:34:12.000 We're playing at the Troubadour.
03:34:14.000 Oh, that's a great spot.
03:34:15.000 You know what's crazy?
03:34:15.000 Tom DeLonge said to me, I just remembered.
03:34:18.000 He said to me, he's like, within 60 or 90 days, this is like early October 2019, he's like, in 60 to 90 days, something's going to happen that's going to change the world forever in a very, very profound way.
03:34:32.000 And I'm like, what?
03:34:33.000 He's like, just mark my words. 0.99
03:34:35.000 And then like, dude, when I first started seeing videos of the Wuhan lockdown, I was like, what the fuck? 0.91
03:34:40.000 Like, you could say that literally any other time in my life, and like, okay, 9-11, right? 0.89
03:34:45.000 But no other time would it be like that.
03:34:47.000 And he was like, it was in 60 to 90 days.
03:34:49.000 Why was he being so cryptic about what it was going to be?
03:34:52.000 I don't know.
03:34:53.000 But he said that he had information.
03:34:57.000 And the virus hit early December, so he was right.
03:35:05.000 I doubt he thinks of anything other than UFOs.
03:35:08.000 I don't know.
03:35:09.000 Maybe that's why I don't know.
03:35:11.000 He's not interested in other conspiracies as well, is he?
03:35:14.000 I don't know.
03:35:14.000 He's pretty much all in on the UFO one.
03:35:18.000 I don't know, man.
03:35:19.000 But he did say that to me.
03:35:21.000 What if he's right?
03:35:22.000 What if he's right?
03:35:24.000 He was convincing to the point where I was on stage in front of, you know, 15,000 people having an existential crisis.
03:35:30.000 Like, what's it mean?
03:35:32.000 Why did I even play this show?
03:35:33.000 There's aliens watching this, everything.
03:35:36.000 Well, that's what freaked me out the most about communion.
03:35:38.000 The idea that they could be so intelligent and so, like, so able to avoid our detection that they could just capture you at any time and take you and no one would know and everyone's paralyzed and everyone, you know, everyone's memory gets erased.
03:35:52.000 Yeah. 1.00
03:35:52.000 Fuck. 1.00
03:35:53.000 Yeah, dude. 1.00
03:36:01.000 I remember checking books out from the library when I was a kid and just being really little and just scaring the shit myself. 0.99
03:36:08.000 There's the tall whites, there's the reptilians, there's the greys, there's the men in black. 0.99
03:36:20.000 It might be real, but goddamn it's fun. 0.99
03:36:23.000 It's fun. 0.99
03:36:24.000 It's our boogeyman.
03:36:25.000 It's our monster.
03:36:26.000 I was so cynical by the time I was 13 when X-Files came out.
03:36:30.000 I was like, this is disinformation.
03:36:33.000 Straight up.
03:36:34.000 And forget about it. 0.99
03:36:35.000 When Men in Black came out, I was like, give me a fucking break. 0.99
03:36:38.000 They're getting us ready. 0.99
03:36:39.000 Getting us ready.
03:36:41.000 How much of Bob Lazar talking have you listened to?
03:36:44.000 I saw him on here.
03:36:45.000 I've seen a few things.
03:36:47.000 What did you think? 0.99
03:36:50.000 You have a good bullshit detection. 0.99
03:36:51.000 Yeah. 0.99
03:36:52.000 I mean, I love the idea that there's a, you know, thousands and thousands, like they found in an archaeological site.
03:36:59.000 Yeah.
03:37:00.000 I mean, I love the idea.
03:37:01.000 It's a great plot.
03:37:02.000 It's a great plot.
03:37:03.000 I'd see that movie.
03:37:04.000 I have seen that movie, I feel like.
03:37:06.000 Yeah.
03:37:06.000 I think so.
03:37:07.000 A few times.
03:37:07.000 But he said this in, he was saying this in 1989?
03:37:12.000 Hmm.
03:37:16.000 The part that blows my mind, wasn't his wife having an affair, right?
03:37:22.000 This is what happened.
03:37:24.000 He had top secret clearance because he was working at S4 on some propulsion system he claims that was back engineering a UFO. To have the kind of clearance that he had to work on that, they had to constantly monitor his phone.
03:37:36.000 They found out that his wife was having an affair, so they had to terminate his employment.
03:37:40.000 He couldn't get an answer as to why they terminated his employment. 0.99
03:37:43.000 So then he would take his friends, like, look, I'm telling you, I was working on fucking UFOs. 0.96
03:37:47.000 So he takes his friend to this mountain. 0.98
03:37:48.000 They film it.
03:37:49.000 They get arrested because you're not supposed to be out there.
03:37:51.000 And then he goes on the news because he thinks they're going to kill him.
03:37:54.000 So he goes on the news and tells everybody that he was working on back-engineered UFOs.
03:37:59.000 And he's only doing this because he wants to get this out because otherwise they're going to kill him.
03:38:02.000 So he has to talk about it.
03:38:04.000 So he tells the story, and this is where it gets weird, because he's been consistent with the story. 0.99
03:38:08.000 He tells it exactly the same way for 30 fucking years. 0.98
03:38:14.000 Yeah, I mean... 0.99
03:38:16.000 I'm more inclined to believe it than the lumberjack that disappeared four days ago.
03:38:23.000 That's Travis Walton.
03:38:25.000 He's from near where my wife's from in Arizona.
03:38:30.000 He didn't seem like he was bullshitting either.
03:38:32.000 You know, I don't know, man.
03:38:34.000 I don't know either.
03:38:35.000 I don't know, but it's fun.
03:38:37.000 I want to believe, I'll tell you that.
03:38:39.000 That's what scares me about it.
03:38:41.000 I don't want to think that we're the only ones. 1.00
03:38:43.000 Fuck that. 0.99
03:38:44.000 I want to think that something way smarter is watching us the whole time and things beyond your imagination are taking place in the cosmos. 1.00
03:38:52.000 That's what I want to think.
03:38:53.000 Well, people believe, you know, I mean, like the other day, someone just like, without any, they totally believe this.
03:38:59.000 They're like, they're talking about Murfreesboro, which is a town near Nashville.
03:39:02.000 Like, yeah, some guy there invented a car that runs on water.
03:39:06.000 It's on display.
03:39:07.000 Like, matter of fact, that's the world we live in.
03:39:10.000 That guy believes that someone invented a car that runs on water, and it's just like on display.
03:39:15.000 There was a guy who invented a car that walked on water that went to a restaurant and said, they poisoned me, they killed me, and he died.
03:39:23.000 Yeah.
03:39:24.000 You hear about that guy?
03:39:25.000 Uh-uh.
03:39:27.000 I need to know if this is true.
03:39:29.000 It's true.
03:39:29.000 It is true.
03:39:30.000 It happened outside of Columbus in Grove City.
03:39:33.000 But did they ever prove that his water engine actually works?
03:39:36.000 Oh, that part of it.
03:39:38.000 Because he said he developed an engine that ran on water.
03:39:41.000 We no longer need to use oil for engines.
03:39:43.000 Here is an article.
03:39:44.000 I didn't read through this yet.
03:39:46.000 I'm just saying.
03:39:46.000 I just pulled it up.
03:39:47.000 It seems a tad suspicious lad.
03:39:50.000 After more than 20 years of research and tinkering, it was time to celebrate Stanley Alan Meyer, his brother, and two Belgian investors raised glasses in the Grove City Cracker Barrel on March 20, 1998. Meyer said his invention could do what physicists said is impossible,
03:40:07.000 turn water into hydrogen fuel effectively enough to drive his dune buggy cross-country on 20 gallons straight from the tap.
03:40:17.000 He took a sip of cranberry juice, then grabbed his neck and bolted out the door, dropped to his knees, and vomited violently.
03:40:23.000 I ran outside and asked him what's wrong.
03:40:25.000 His brother Stephen Meyer recalled, he said, they poisoned me.
03:40:28.000 That was his dying declaration.
03:40:30.000 He had no assistants or nobody else he worked with?
03:40:35.000 Well, it sounds like he was a broke guy who came up with an amazing invention. 0.99
03:40:39.000 Or, this is all bullshit. 1.00
03:40:42.000 It could easily be this is all bullshit. 1.00
03:40:44.000 Yeah, I mean, who orders cranberry juice? 1.00
03:40:46.000 What the fuck? 1.00
03:40:47.000 People with UTIs. 1.00
03:40:48.000 Yeah, what do you have, a UTI? That's like a...
03:40:51.000 Yeah.
03:40:51.000 That's a beverage for someone in recovery.
03:40:54.000 Yeah.
03:40:55.000 That's what it is.
03:40:55.000 It's an odd choice unless you have vodka in it.
03:40:57.000 Yeah, like give me something that tastes like shit, please. 0.99
03:41:00.000 People like vodka cranberry, don't they? 1.00
03:41:01.000 That's a common beverage.
03:41:03.000 I mean, like in the 80s.
03:41:04.000 Yeah, so that might have been true, that the guy might have actually had, you know? 0.95
03:41:13.000 Listen, all I do know is, we should probably wrap this up, and I had a great fucking time with you guys as always.
03:41:19.000 Thank you again for amazing music.

03:41:56.000 Thank you very much.
03:41:57.000 Thank you.
