Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day!
00:00:39.000
Ragweed and cedar and a bunch of shit going on in this town.
00:00:49.000
I had to wear, during COVID, I got like a lake house, like right when it was starting.
00:00:56.000
I had to wear fucking ski goggles when we were out on the boat.
00:01:00.000
Dude, I was getting shitfaced wearing full ski.
00:01:06.000
Just because the pollen and shit was fucking your eyes?
00:01:09.000
I was like, is this a side effect of COVID? Oh, no.
00:01:17.000
And that was back when every symptom was COVID. So I Googled it.
00:01:20.000
I was like, is pink eye COVID? They're like, you know, we sampled 10 fucking Chinese guys.
00:01:30.000
We were, like, scared to go to the grocery store.
00:01:35.000
So I was in Key West when it started, so I was like, fuck it, I'll just get Airbnbs and work my way back up to New York.
00:02:22.000
Would be hell would be stuck around people that you could never have a smart conversation with.
00:02:29.000
You know, there's some people, like, you know, like, those people, you start a conversation, you go, oh, this is, like, level two forever.
00:02:39.000
I hate when someone makes a point that you're like, yeah.
00:02:44.000
Like, when someone, yeah, they're like, here's what I've been thinking lately.
00:02:47.000
And it's like, dude, yeah, I thought of that in eighth grade.
00:02:58.000
The reality of people in their brains is just like the reality of people in their eyesight, and people in their hearing, and people in their height, and people in their nose length.
00:03:13.000
Speaking of nose length, did I show you my 23andMe?
00:03:21.000
We were at dinner, and I was like, dude, look at my 23andMe results.
00:04:05.000
Do you wish you had the moustache still though?
00:04:07.000
It feels like you're kind of halfway growing it back.
00:04:24.000
He showed me a fucking guy yesterday that's having sex with a snake.
00:04:30.000
And then he shows it to all of us while we're eating dinner.
00:04:39.000
Because it's like, he like lingered, and then when the phone came back out, then he came back in.
00:04:47.000
Which is a pretty funny rumor for him to have about you.
00:04:50.000
What, that my friend wants to watch people fuck snakes?
00:05:00.000
He had this giant dude that's 100% Irish just watching guys fuck snakes.
00:05:08.000
Guy looks like he should have a mustache, but he doesn't.
00:05:11.000
Yeah, as soon as I got done shaving, I was like, fuck.
00:05:17.000
The guy was actually fucking, not like mouth-fucking a snake, but fucking the snake vagina or whatever they have.
00:05:33.000
It didn't seem like the snake was trying to get away.
00:05:39.000
I feel like the snake could have got him if it wanted to.
00:06:08.000
Like, what are the rules for, like, fucking snakes?
00:06:20.000
Like, if you find a snake outside, you can just chop its head off.
00:06:23.000
But if you kill a raccoon, people get pissed at you.
00:06:28.000
Well, since the 50s, it says that's been illegal.
00:06:45.000
It's a funny way to dance around and just be like, what are you fucking snakes?
00:07:03.000
Hawaii, Wyoming, New Mexico, and West Virginia.
00:07:07.000
It used to be Washington state up until that documentary, Zoo.
00:07:25.000
So they made a documentary about it called Zoo.
00:07:34.000
I want to say this is around the early 2000s, right?
00:07:40.000
And if you haven't seen it, you could just go Google Mr. Hand's horse.
00:07:57.000
Well, he'd been fucked multiple times by that horse.
00:08:01.000
That apparently, the video, was not the one that killed him.
00:08:16.000
The best part is the guy who guides the horse dick into his butt.
00:08:25.000
When the guy makes the noise, he's like, too much?
00:08:33.000
Like, how is he making that dick disappear in his body?
00:08:37.000
Oh, yeah, perforated his colon and just ruptured his innards and bled out from the inside.
00:08:44.000
And then once they brought him to the hospital, the cops are like, hey, what the fuck's going on?
00:08:59.000
Yeah, but also, like, there was hundreds of hours of footage.
00:09:04.000
Thinking of, like, his mother, you know, she gave birth holding that.
00:09:11.000
He's going to die from getting fucked by a horse.
00:09:22.000
I think he was a software engineer or something.
00:09:29.000
So he was a very smart guy who just had a strange kink.
00:09:41.000
If you just, like, wanted to wear women's shoes and get fucked in the butt?
00:09:49.000
I'm straight, but he's got this thing, you know?
00:09:54.000
Unless I probably do, I just don't, I'm not even trying.
00:09:56.000
Well, they say a lot of them, they're imprinted on your early adolescence.
00:10:22.000
But that was the scarier one, because I was at the library.
00:10:33.000
In retrospect, like thinking about it now, I couldn't imagine letting my seven-year-old just fucking wander around.
00:10:40.000
Not just that, but walk to the public library, you know, in San Francisco.
00:10:44.000
And this guy, I was looking at, you know, I was always into like horror movies and monster movies and shit.
00:10:52.000
And so I was reading these books in this, they had a section of like, you know, monster books.
00:11:01.000
And he goes, oh, I have some monster books in my car.
00:11:08.000
I was just fucking eight years old or whatever it was.
00:11:10.000
And as I'm leaving with this guy, the librarian starts screaming, Joseph, you get away from that man.
00:11:23.000
And she yells at him to get out of there, and the guy runs away, and I just started crying, and I was like, whoa!
00:11:31.000
And then another time, When I was 13. When I was 13, we were hanging around this lake in Jamaica Plain.
00:11:43.000
Jamaica Pond was this place we would go and fish.
00:11:46.000
And there was another pond that was like this neighboring pond that was like slightly smaller.
00:11:51.000
And this guy was always like running around the lake.
00:11:55.000
And me and my friend Josh would be hanging out.
00:12:13.000
And I'm fishing, and he comes by, and he's drunk.
00:12:35.000
It was always like casual, very good-humored, very friendly, but he was like setting us up.
00:12:40.000
And he comes by and then I realized after, he tells me he loves me, but there can be no love without sex.
00:12:54.000
So I remember, like, I grabbed my knife in my pocket, and I had my hand on my knife, and I was like, oh my god, I'm gonna have to stab this guy.
00:13:25.000
He was mentally challenged, but he would always hang out around my high school, and he would go to all the basketball games.
00:13:32.000
One day, we had a tape recorder for the National Anthem to play at the beginning of games.
00:13:37.000
They would just hold a mic next to a tape recorder.
00:13:39.000
It broke, so the mentally handicapped guy stood up and started singing.
00:13:48.000
Everybody just listened to the guy sing the National Anthem.
00:14:07.000
It was long enough that people were like, yeah, he's weird.
00:14:11.000
Yeah, there's a town pedophile, but he's a weird guy.
00:14:14.000
So he would be like, you guys want to play football?
00:14:16.000
And we were little kids at the high school football game playing touch football.
00:14:20.000
And he was like, you guys want to come out to my car?
00:14:23.000
And we were all like, no, dude, stop trying to fuck us.
00:14:35.000
If you get the mentally handicapped guy tricks you into getting into his car...
00:15:09.000
The other guy, he had a tricycle with his name on a license plate, like a fake license plate on the front of his tricycle.
00:15:17.000
But he would come around, and he would speak gibberish, but every once in a while he would get kind of sexual.
00:15:23.000
Like, he would come over and just be like, do you like pancakes?
00:15:28.000
And he's like, do you ever put syrup on your pancakes?
00:15:44.000
Sometimes it just doesn't work and they just keep swinging.
00:15:52.000
There's always like it was on it was always on to catch predator They were always catch like a mentally handicapped guy.
00:15:57.000
There's always a part of me like Yeah, come on Well, obviously you gotta get him but everyone was off on that show.
00:16:04.000
Yeah, did you think you could do that show today?
00:16:10.000
We might have talked about this before but I love when they get fucking Indian dudes.
00:16:15.000
Because they they're just like yeah They're from India.
00:16:23.000
Are you aware there's a 13-year-old girl who's like, yeah.
00:16:30.000
Yeah, they get foreigners all the time that are just like, I didn't know...
00:16:43.000
I think if you're from rural India, you can fuck...
00:16:51.000
There's parts of the United States where the age of consent was very low up until recently.
00:17:03.000
I'm sure, like, especially states that are very religious.
00:17:05.000
How the fuck is that not, like, a federal thing?
00:17:12.000
Where it's like you get married when you're 13. I don't know.
00:17:19.000
There was one where if someone had sex, the age of consent for boy and girl was different than boy-boy.
00:17:36.000
And the reason for that is that's where the Catholic Church had moved a bunch of its priests.
00:17:52.000
I might have just spread a bunch of misinformation.
00:18:00.000
Let's go with India first, and then we'll go with the...
00:18:10.000
Oh, for teens to have sex with each other, though.
00:18:13.000
Well, they changed the law a decade ago to make it tougher on cases of child sexual abuse.
00:18:19.000
Okay, so it criminalizes all sexual activity by children under 18. Interesting.
00:18:26.000
Many adolescent boys in consenting relationships are finding themselves on the wrong side of the law.
00:18:56.000
Yeah, every hot chick's picture is followed by a thousand Indian dudes.
00:19:01.000
There's a billion people in India, but they don't have the same problem that China has.
00:19:05.000
Like, China has that weird problem where there's way more guys than there are girls.
00:19:12.000
The fact that they didn't see the math on that, that one-child policy...
00:19:26.000
It's like, how the fuck did they not see where that was gonna be a disaster in the future?
00:19:30.000
Like, there's a whole generation of guys that have no girls.
00:19:42.000
Because, like, even in this country where it's 50-50, basically, do you know that, like, 64% of men are single?
00:20:01.000
Yeah, see if we can find the numbers, but I think it's men of a certain age.
00:20:06.000
It's just men fucking chicks that are like, we're not dating.
00:20:08.000
And women are like, no, we're in a relationship.
00:20:13.000
You're a fucking girl and she's like, what are we?
00:20:30.000
Unfortunately, I'm not a guy that, yeah, they want to date me.
00:20:33.000
I'm not a guy that like, oh, I just want to fuck that guy.
00:20:43.000
Occasionally, back in the day, that was the best thing.
00:20:56.000
The reality is sometimes you're attracted to someone that you're not compatible with.
00:21:05.000
But the problem is usually that one person is into the other person more than, you know, there's like psychological elements to it that become a problem.
00:21:17.000
Yeah, and if the guy is the one using the girl, he's a piece of shit.
00:21:27.000
Adults between 18 and 29 who say they're single.
00:21:37.000
51% of men in 2019. And by the time it got to 2022, it's 63%.
00:22:00.000
But I think what they're saying is these women during the pandemic started dating older guys.
00:22:08.000
So when the jobs went away and everything went south, they shacked up with some dudes with money.
00:22:39.000
20 at 65 plus, there's more women because all the men are dead.
00:22:49.000
As soon as it hits 50, the women start to move forward.
00:22:52.000
Because dudes start dropping dead of heart attacks, working 90 hours a week.
00:22:57.000
And just coming home and just hating their life.
00:23:14.000
It's the whole fucking finding the compatible person thing.
00:23:27.000
Start talking to a girl, you scroll back, you're like, God damn, she's got a lot of boyfriends in these, you know?
00:23:40.000
Like, if you are going back and forth with a hot girl, if you're a young guy now, if you're a 30-year-old guy now, And there's another girl, and she's 30 also.
00:23:50.000
And you go to her Instagram, she goes, wow, she's really pretty.
00:23:59.000
And then you look in the likes and the comments.
00:24:24.000
No, it's gonna lead people to have sex with robots.
00:24:31.000
I think you're going to go over a dude's house and he's going to have a robot lead.
00:24:37.000
My buddy left his fleshlight in the shower when we lived together.
00:25:10.000
If you can't get laid though, it's as close to the physical feeling of a warm vagina touching your dick.
00:26:16.000
Get one of those ones that looks like a beer can.
00:26:24.000
We had a bunch of them because they were our first sponsor.
00:26:37.000
On It was started with Aubrey, who was the CEO of the Fleshlight, and me.
00:26:47.000
Maybe he was a marketing director or something.
00:26:49.000
So it's like his family owned the company, the Fleshlight company.
00:26:54.000
So he reached out and said, do you guys want to have a sponsor on your podcast?
00:27:00.000
The podcast in the beginning, the idea that this is a big business is so hilarious.
00:27:04.000
Because in the beginning, it was just so ridiculous how it was run.
00:27:13.000
He was the first guy that said, hey, you guys should have a sponsor.
00:27:16.000
So he had a meeting with us, and he told us about the flashlight.
00:27:26.000
So those are the ones that look like a craft beer or something.
00:27:34.000
Well, I think you can get whatever you want, neither can.
00:27:40.000
And then Aubrey and I started talking about doing other stuff.
00:27:44.000
And he said, like, if you were into supplements, what are you into?
00:27:47.000
And I told him that I got really into nootropics because of this product called Neuro One that Bill Romanowski came up with, the football player.
00:27:56.000
Yeah, his issues were with memory after all those fucking concussions.
00:28:07.000
When he walked into the arena, what he wanted to do to everyone that he saw?
00:28:17.000
He's walking through the crowd thinking that he just really wants to run into the crowd and start smashing people.
00:28:28.000
He's a nice guy, but those Viking instincts run deep, son.
00:28:42.000
Dude, this was like the greatest night of my life.
00:28:54.000
When Gabe Davis gave me his jersey, I looked like a Down syndrome guy.
00:29:08.000
But then, it's like all the cool black dudes on the team were like hanging out, being cool.
00:29:13.000
And then it was just me and like a white O-lineman.
00:29:30.000
You gotta give people like that some kind of distraction.
00:29:34.000
If that guy got into a town, it'd just be over.
00:29:39.000
If you look at those guys in Iceland, you know, all those strongman dudes that come from Iceland, where do you think that comes from?
00:29:47.000
Those are the freaks that were dominating the world back when people just had axes.
00:30:05.000
I was watching him play, like, touch video games.
00:30:15.000
That gene line of those strong men, of those guys like Derek Wolf, like Thor, the Game of Thrones guy, the mountain from Game of Thrones, that's a gene line of the people who conquered the world with axes.
00:30:36.000
Like at any point in time in the world, in any one moment, things can break out that are real similar to the way life was during the Viking days.
00:30:48.000
You know, it breaks off less and less and less over time.
00:30:55.000
And if it wasn't for football and the UFC and pro boxing and like all those sports are like It's like a bridge to civility.
00:31:16.000
Because you allow these people that have this fucking thing inside them to express themselves in a legal way, and they're rewarded for it hugely.
00:31:32.000
I mean, you think of some of the shit that like Hamzat Chemayev says after his fights.
00:31:41.000
Like, bro, when you're interviewing him, it's a wild ride.
00:31:45.000
Yeah, we were talking about that last night at dinner.
00:31:47.000
I was like, dude, what's your favorite interviews?
00:31:49.000
Yeah, I think Derrick Lewis is always going to be my favorite just because it was so fucking hilarious.
00:31:58.000
The other one though, not the balls are hot, the fucking him beating the Russian up and being like, I talked to Donald Trump last night.
00:32:05.000
So I got to take care of this fucking Russian for you.
00:32:08.000
Back in the day, Chael Sonnen was the best guy to interview.
00:32:19.000
And back in the day, he was the first guy to really figure out pro wrestling style promotion with legit fight skills.
00:32:34.000
If he didn't get caught in that triangle in the last round, he would have won that fight.
00:32:38.000
And it was a grueling fucking fight, and he just kept taking Anderson down.
00:32:42.000
He beat the shit out of Nate Marquardt when Nate Marquardt was in his prime.
00:32:52.000
There's like levels even to savages, which is so crazy.
00:32:58.000
He really shouldn't have been fighting the guys that were in that John Jones range 205. John's cutting to get to 205. Chael's fighting at 185. Like, sketchy.
00:33:11.000
Like, at Anderson and him, they fought at 185. John is big, dude.
00:33:27.000
Yeah, John beat him up so bad that he broke his own toe pushing off the ground, smashing him.
00:33:40.000
There was that crossover in the UFC where dudes started being an athlete.
00:33:45.000
Not saying Chael Sonnen wasn't an athlete, but you know what I mean?
00:33:50.000
There definitely is a switchover phase, but I think with Chael, I really would attribute it more to he's being around during the greatest of the greats at 85. Anderson Silva in his prime was one of the greatest of the greats.
00:34:05.000
Anderson Silva, he gets left out of the GOAT competition because after the Chris Weidman fight where he broke his leg, he had a bunch of fights where he didn't perform like the Anderson of old.
00:34:16.000
So I think people forgot how good he was when he was in his prime.
00:34:26.000
He's undefeated, barely lost a round in his entire career.
00:34:33.000
With Glace and Tebow back in the day, but I think it was a fair decision, but he dominated everybody at the top.
00:34:42.000
And he did it with fucking just a ruthless intensity, fantastic wrestling.
00:34:50.000
Yeah, up until the Leon Edwards fight, I was telling everybody, I think Usman's the greatest welterweight of all time.
00:34:56.000
If you look at what he's done and who he did it to, the way he knocked out Jorge Masvidal, he started out as a wrestler.
00:35:05.000
He started out as a wrestler, and all of a sudden he's flatlining people on the feet, and you're flatlining a skilled striker in Masvidal.
00:35:18.000
He was all sweaty, that fucking mist off that punch when he hit him.
00:35:23.000
I mean, when you think about the way Masvidal knocked out Ben Askren, Masvidal knocked out Darren Till, like, Masvidal's a scary guy.
00:35:40.000
He knew Ben and his instincts were going to be there.
00:35:43.000
You ever see the video of him training that very move?
00:35:50.000
When you look online and be like, fuck, you knew he was going to do that?
00:35:59.000
He's knocked out a lot of really good guys, man.
00:36:08.000
He might have felt the highest level of competition because he beats Tyron Woodley, who was one of the best welterweights ever.
00:36:20.000
He's dominant fashion, wins a five-round decision.
00:36:24.000
There's no question at all he's the new champion.
00:36:27.000
Then he beats Colby Covington, who is about as good as it gets in that division other than Usman.
00:36:41.000
And even though Kamara broke his jaw, he was still there in the last round.
00:36:58.000
He dropped him, and he hit him with some really good shots.
00:37:01.000
But Kobe was saying, even at the end, like, hey, I could have made it through that.
00:37:13.000
And he hurt him pretty fucking bad in the second fight.
00:37:20.000
And if Camaro's beating him like that, and then Camaro was beating Leon Edwards, for the most part.
00:37:36.000
You saw the Gilbert Burns-Hamza Chimaez fight, you know?
00:37:42.000
I feel like you look at the caliber of the opponents that he's faced as a champion and how he's beaten them.
00:37:50.000
I kind of put him up into the Leon Edwards fight.
00:37:55.000
He might have been the best welterweight ever, but that Leon kick, man, that changed the world.
00:37:59.000
And then this weekend they're fighting again, which is so crazy, dude.
00:38:12.000
Yeah, he can sleep at his own bed and defend the world title in England.
00:38:18.000
I... Well, I don't want to make any predictions.
00:38:24.000
I was like, I think Cyril's going to win this thing, dude.
00:38:57.000
But that is not the cloth from which he is cut.
00:39:19.000
But I think when he landed it, he was like, oh, shit.
00:39:41.000
Have you ever seen it where they put the Rocky music behind it?
00:39:46.000
He's screaming at him, and then Leon goes up there and lands that kick.
00:39:54.000
Come on, we're gonna pull back one now, it's one one.
00:41:08.000
I think, in his eyes, he won 24 minutes of that fight.
00:41:15.000
No, he got taken down the first round and he got mounted.
00:41:26.000
Because I was cheering for Leon and I remember being, even while with the bias of cheering for him, I was like, fuck, there's no chance he wins this.
00:41:33.000
Well, when they first fought, Leon was not really much into grappling.
00:41:44.000
But in this fight, it definitely showed a big leap in Leon's grappling ability.
00:42:13.000
Like that, the pressure that's on that thing as he's going down, like from there, like watch it, from there.
00:42:24.000
The way his foot is planted, a lot of pressure.
00:42:28.000
Do you see that John from that Chael Sonnen fight, he always has to tape his toes?
00:42:35.000
It was his toe, the bottom of his toe was facing upward.
00:42:39.000
And we didn't realize it until I was talking to him.
00:42:43.000
We're in the octagon, and I'm interviewing him after he beat Chael Sonnen, and he looked down.
00:43:00.000
That's the strength of him pushing off while he's smashing.
00:43:13.000
I mean, John beat the ever-loving shit out of Chael Sonnen in this fight.
00:43:23.000
So now, to this day, he has to tape his toes up.
00:43:26.000
There was actually a controversy at the last fight.
00:43:30.000
Well, I think when you rip it and flip it over like that, I don't know what they would have to do to get it to be stable again.
00:43:46.000
I was going to ask you who he's going to kill next, but it's Stipe.
00:43:54.000
Stipe has way better wrestling than Serial Gon.
00:43:59.000
I remember thinking Stipe was going to die when he fought Ngannou the first time.
00:44:11.000
But there's other fights that show, like, you can't sleep on Stipe's stand-up skills.
00:44:21.000
Remember when he fought DC and he kept ripping him with that left hook to the body?
00:44:24.000
Like, he hit him with a couple of those, and then DC was fucked.
00:44:28.000
It's like when you're playing a video game and you don't know how to block.
00:44:49.000
When you get hit on the liver, dude, it is a horrible feeling.
00:44:52.000
Your whole body, it's like you get electrically shocked.
00:45:05.000
So the thing is, it's like, Stipe is not Cyril Gaon.
00:45:10.000
Stipe is the most successful UFC heavyweight champion ever.
00:45:18.000
Yeah, I know that Francis knocked him out in his last fight, so people just will dismiss.
00:45:24.000
They'll say, oh, maybe he's washed up, or maybe these guys are better, or maybe, but that fucking guy's been counted out from the beginning.
00:45:33.000
I mean, he fought Fabricio Verdum in Brazil and flatlined him.
00:45:38.000
But Fabricio like chased after Stipe and Stipe just cracked him with the right hand and dropped him.
00:45:57.000
But it was when Fabricio was the heavyweight champion.
00:46:11.000
Fabrice over Doom just got real aggressive and started coming after him.
00:46:45.000
While he's moving away in full throttle, he uncorks a perfect right hand.
00:46:58.000
Yeah, but he looks like a guy who's drunk at the beach.
00:47:01.000
Well, he's probably drunk at the beach sometimes.
00:47:03.000
He's got the shorts, he's got that back tattoo.
00:47:09.000
And also, one of the things I'm interested in is it seems like he put on some weight.
00:47:15.000
He put on some mass, which I think will probably be a good thing with these bigger heavyweights.
00:47:19.000
You know, I think he tried to have more endurance and come in lighter for Francis and try to tire Francis out.
00:47:25.000
But in the second Francis fight, Francis fought like this very patient style.
00:47:33.000
Well, the first one, he just tried to knock him out.
00:47:35.000
And the second one, he took his time, which was terrifying.
00:47:38.000
You know, because all those shots that land, everyone that lands, like your power bar is just like...
00:47:52.000
I'm so bummed that he left the UFC. I mean, I want that dude to make all the money.
00:48:00.000
I'm happy for him, but I really wish that Jones and him fought.
00:48:10.000
You can't zig when you shoulda zagged with Francis O'Connor.
00:48:17.000
That guy touches your chin, you're in a world of shit.
00:48:25.000
His power makes it a totally different thing that you're doing.
00:48:29.000
Because with some guys, you can make little mistakes.
00:48:32.000
You get hit, you get shit, you move around, you get rocked a little.
00:48:43.000
Your wife is holding your head and you're like, oh no!
00:48:46.000
Like, when a guy will fight someone that doesn't have, like, dangerous striking, there's, like, a noticeable, like, relaxed sort of in the interactions.
00:48:56.000
It's like, you know you don't have to be too scared.
00:49:04.000
But when someone has nuclear power, like Francis, there's not a thing you can do that doesn't put you in range of getting flatlined.
00:49:27.000
But I mean, he knocked out Cain Velasquez in the first round.
00:49:30.000
I mean, I just, I fucking think he can knock out anybody, man.
00:49:34.000
I think it's just a matter of whether or not he hits your chin.
00:49:37.000
I just think that power is just too extraordinary.
00:49:43.000
That was the thing that was really remarkable about the Stipe fight.
00:49:50.000
It wasn't just that he's explosive and powerful.
00:49:53.000
He was patient and just, you know, being very tactical.
00:49:58.000
Was attacking with leg kicks and that fucking power.
00:50:02.000
Look, if we're talking UFC, I'm excited for Adesanya.
00:50:22.000
But what if Izzy prepared more to avoid that low calf kick?
00:50:27.000
Like, what if it became a more crucial part of his training?
00:50:36.000
He was saying that the foot got really fucked up and he couldn't move right.
00:50:43.000
And Pejera lands a bunch of ruthless calf kicks in the first round.
00:50:51.000
He's the scariest motherfucker in that division.
00:51:06.000
Listen, Izzy almost had him out in the first round.
00:51:10.000
The first round, the first round, with seconds to go, he lands that right hand.
00:51:19.000
And then there was a left hook that landed as well that was, like, on the bell.
00:51:28.000
Izzy's so important to the black anime culture.
00:51:33.000
Black dorks finally have a fucking champion, dude.
00:51:42.000
I love that he just decided to get right back in there.
00:52:09.000
What he did, I've talked to him, he's a very nice guy.
00:52:12.000
And he's real good friends with my friend Cam Haynes.
00:52:15.000
And what was going on was that he was gonna get cut from his fucking contract.
00:52:20.000
And they were saying, dude, you're boring, you're just wrestling with people.
00:52:24.000
And so he goes over to Brazil and just starts talking mad shit.
00:52:39.000
Because, you know, there's guys who don't do it.
00:52:53.000
It's like everybody has their own way of approaching it.
00:53:21.000
He was the first guy that brought a pro wrestling heel character to MMA with legit fighting skills.
00:54:06.000
You want to see what happens when a normal human tries to run the ball in the NFL? Oh no.
00:54:11.000
It's also the Pro Bowl where you're not supposed to kill people.
00:54:15.000
So you're not supposed to kill people in the Pro Bowl?
00:54:40.000
You know, that's one of the things that Jon Jones says about his brother Chandler.
00:54:46.000
He goes, I was grabbing his wrists while he was sitting down.
00:54:53.000
And Chandler basically lifted him up with his wrists.
00:54:57.000
And he goes, I've never felt strength like that in my life.
00:55:00.000
He's like, we're just lucky that guy's not fighting.
00:55:11.000
Dude, he's a white man running the football, dude.
00:55:24.000
My problem is I know too much about MMA, so I don't have any room for anything else.
00:55:40.000
I can't only watch so much sports, but for me, like, that's...
00:55:46.000
If two guys are playing basketball and there becomes a dispute and one guy beats the other guy in basketball, the other guy can say, yeah, but I can still beat your ass.
00:55:54.000
But if somebody beats your ass, you can't say, yeah, but I can beat you in basketball because nobody cares.
00:56:14.000
And Louis can be like, yeah, at least I can do stand-up.
00:56:29.000
But I'm saying in terms of physical competition...
00:56:35.000
It's just like a thing that what all sports are, it's like this expression of male dominance or female dominance.
00:56:43.000
It's like this expression of becoming, like whatever it is, whether it's basketball or soccer, it's like being the ultimate dominator through a game.
00:57:02.000
Jamie, how are we looking on a Mike Allstad highlight, dude?
00:57:06.000
This guy is the one that no one in the NBA fucks with.
00:57:09.000
He just picked this guy up and carried him away for fucking with his teammate.
00:57:35.000
Yeah, there's another NBA guy that does jujitsu that I think no one fucking can do.
00:57:42.000
He hoisted him up in the air and just started walking with him.
00:57:53.000
So, like, no fights happen when he's there, for sure, because he's the intimidator.
00:58:14.000
I was doing pictures with fans once after a show.
00:58:17.000
This fucking big dude with like a weird mustache.
00:58:21.000
He wanted to take a picture and he goes, could I carry you in the picture?
00:58:33.000
He just really wanted to carry me in the picture.
00:58:58.000
This fucking fire teacher's trying to suck my dick.
00:59:04.000
It would have been very scary, but I'll tell you what, that guy would have sucked the soul out of you, dude.
00:59:08.000
That guy's been jogging thinking about it for years, dude.
00:59:14.000
You would have launched into that fucking dude's mouth.
00:59:24.000
Dude, a blowjob where you have everything to lose while you're giving it?
00:59:37.000
Imagine the crazy feeling like a 25-year-old hot teacher has fucking one of her 16-year-old students.
00:59:50.000
Yeah, some 16-year-old quarterback, he's asking her about English work, and she goes, well, if you come to my house, I can help you with some of your English work.
00:59:59.000
He goes over to her house, and she has a glass of wine already.
01:00:03.000
And next thing you know, they're sitting on the couch, and she's talking to him, you know, I'm concerned, because some girls are bad.
01:00:10.000
And, you know, sometimes a man just needs sexual release.
01:00:35.000
If you show me a porn where there's like a 21-year-old guy banging a 45-year-old chick who lifts weights, I'm in.
01:00:51.000
Yeah, one of the girls, I had sex with a girl that was getting strong.
01:01:39.000
I went to a strip club in London, Ontario last week.
01:01:45.000
And there was a lady, she was going wild, dude.
01:01:48.000
She was like, they'd just bring people on stage and just...
01:01:51.000
Everybody in Canada was putting money in their mouth at this strip club.
01:01:56.000
What happened to COVID? The first stripper that was with me was like...
01:02:13.000
Dudes would put money in their mouth and lay on stage on their back.
01:02:20.000
And the stripper would come and take it with her butt.
01:02:30.000
Yeah, they're going to get a fucked up disease.
01:02:33.000
And doesn't most money, there's at least a really good percentage of money that has cocaine on it?
01:02:42.000
Hundreds, I believe, has the highest percentage, but yes.
01:03:05.000
My buddy went on stage and she tried to take his belt and whip him.
01:03:17.000
And then she lifted her arm and she had armpit hair.
01:03:34.000
So wait, you like jack ladies with armpit hair?
01:03:56.000
You could be a different hairstyle every night.
01:04:12.000
You know, there's so many things that could have happened there.
01:04:15.000
I don't know what that guy got fired for, but he was a teacher.
01:04:30.000
I never had a priest really go for it, but I remember one time I was in confession, and it was right when we were all starting to whack off, so the priest, he like asked.
01:04:39.000
I was in the middle of confession and he was like, do you spill seed?
01:04:45.000
And I thought it was like a biblical reference.
01:04:47.000
Like some type of proverb where like, you know?
01:04:56.000
Like, I don't know, some story where the guy dropped seeds.
01:05:00.000
And then I started to slowly realize that he was asking me about coming.
01:05:08.000
Being a priest, asking fucking eighth graders if they're whacking off.
01:05:17.000
The problem with any job where you have to be celibate.
01:05:28.000
Like, you're doing that because you're called to that duty?
01:05:33.000
A good priest is cool, but the idea that they should be celibate, you're going to eliminate a lot of people that don't want that job.
01:05:40.000
The dudes that are like, fuck it, I'll just be a priest.
01:05:42.000
Like, if you're, like, thinking about what job you want to have, and you're like, ah, I'll just fucking...
01:05:47.000
Some people do do that because they're raised Catholic.
01:05:51.000
And they're like, look, if I do it, I'm 100% guaranteed in.
01:05:56.000
All you have to do is like- You gotta go to school.
01:06:01.000
You gotta go to seminary for fucking seven years.
01:06:17.000
Like, a priest, you got a fucking pretty easy job.
01:06:23.000
But then every once in a while, you got to get hit with a dude confession that's just like, I sucked my friend's dick at golf.
01:06:36.000
Like, while you're performing mass, you look out, there's a guy like...
01:06:39.000
You see, you're like, oh, that's a guy who blows his friends.
01:06:45.000
That was a thing that they invented purely so that they could, like, spy on people.
01:06:57.000
And if you could give people an out that allows you to go to heaven, but you have to tell.
01:07:04.000
But then I'll tell you, you're going to do a bunch of Hail Marys, and it's going to be good.
01:07:18.000
Yeah, they were just acquiring data on the people.
01:07:35.000
I felt like when I was a young kid, I remember I went to Catholic school for one year and I had this nun that was teaching the class.
01:07:50.000
And her name was Sister Mary Josephine, and she was so mean.
01:07:59.000
She would tell you that she's going to make you sit on a nail in the closet, and you better bring your pajamas because you're staying here tonight.
01:08:12.000
Because I went from being with my mom, who's like this sweet lady.
01:08:20.000
To all of a sudden, this crazy bitch that doesn't even get to fuck.
01:08:24.000
You're dressed in this weird costume, and she was so mean.
01:08:32.000
What it did to me at an early age was like, oh, okay.
01:08:38.000
You know how you have to see things that are so stunningly obvious?
01:08:44.000
This is like a mean person who's just torturing kids.
01:08:47.000
And since I hadn't been around that, it was very unusual for me.
01:08:55.000
And then I think there was a period after that where I was fucking kind of really weirded out because then I was thinking, well, if this is bullshit, does this mean that like nobody knows?
01:09:08.000
Do you remember that for the first time you realized that nobody knows what happens when you die?
01:09:20.000
We were at my friend's, we had like built a fort at my friend's house.
01:09:24.000
We were all back there and we were like, I don't know if God's real.
01:09:28.000
And everyone at the same time was like, yeah, dude, I know.
01:09:40.000
People get very upset if you even just want to breach a subject.
01:09:44.000
I think, I mean, I was, if I told my dad, I mean, hearing a fifth grader say, I don't know if God's real, I'll fuck you up.
01:09:59.000
When I was younger, I used to really think that religion is just a panacea for the masses, and it's not necessary, and it's really outdated, and you should know better than to believe that.
01:10:10.000
But as I've gotten older, I've realized that it acts as like a scaffolding for behavior.
01:10:16.000
And it also gives people a sense of being, of being a part of something that means something to them.
01:10:26.000
That's what's cool if you talk to, like, a good priest.
01:10:29.000
Like, if you talk to a good one, they'll tell you that.
01:10:34.000
And a good philosopher will say the same thing.
01:10:36.000
That's why I always question people that say that they know what's going to happen when they die.
01:10:47.000
People love to say that when it's over, you just die, and that you go black.
01:10:54.000
This whole thing is weird enough that I think we should entertain every possibility.
01:11:07.000
Me and my buddy O'Connor, who you met last night, we were talking about it on the way.
01:11:45.000
It's like magic right away, right from the jump.
01:11:54.000
And then Dave goes up in the little room for the first time last night.
01:12:12.000
It was perfect because it wasn't smooth, so it set up the conversational style of stand-up that he was doing and fucking around.
01:12:20.000
And he also didn't know where the stage was, so he was like, how do I get up here?
01:12:23.000
And he went to the middle, and then he was like, no, you gotta go that way.
01:12:27.000
What was funny when he does that, where he's doing the conversational thing, it's almost like I think he knows what the joke's gonna be.
01:12:35.000
Because he'll keep talking, and you're like, oh man, all he's doing is making a point right now.
01:12:40.000
And then right at the very end, he hits a fucking...
01:12:49.000
That was like a practice set, which is really interesting.
01:12:51.000
It gives him an opportunity to fuck around, and in that fucking around, he'll come up with an idea, and then he'll pursue that idea, and then they'll watch the film.
01:13:07.000
Yeah, that was one of the cooler moments I've ever had.
01:13:13.000
Yeah, and you were the first person who ever went on stage in that small room.
01:13:24.000
That's one of those I woke up today a little hungover.
01:13:26.000
It was one of those hangovers where I was like, good.
01:13:32.000
The problem is we're doing so many shows there, I can't be hungover.
01:13:58.000
Yeah, I wanted a nice candid of me, Pauly Shore, and Danny Brown.
01:14:18.000
That club, the fact that the building is so old, it's like baked in.
01:14:25.000
There's like a life in that building that's baked in, and we just put nice clothes on it and dressed it up.
01:14:47.000
It's also good that we're doing these shows where there's so many killers on.
01:15:03.000
The store was always just killer after killer after killer, and it's just really good for you.
01:15:16.000
As a good comedy gym, that's what you really want to reproduce.
01:15:19.000
You want to recreate the environment of a bunch of people that are sort of feeding off of each other.
01:15:32.000
And people don't want to, for some reason, some comics don't want to think about that.
01:15:38.000
They like to think that they're completely self-made.
01:15:41.000
But we are so heavily influenced by our friends.
01:15:45.000
We're so heavily influenced by just the hang, you know?
01:15:48.000
Just the way we're always hanging out and talking shit and having a good time together.
01:15:55.000
Yeah, I don't want to sound corny, but yeah, that's the thing you want.
01:15:59.000
Your other comics respect is the most important thing.
01:16:29.000
It was like Redman, Cypher Sounds was DJing, Jadakiss, Chappelle.
01:16:52.000
They closed the bar and I was like, I'm with Dave.
01:17:08.000
How about we were trying to get beers and those guys were like, Jamie, Shane.
01:17:13.000
And we were like, can we get two Miller Lights?
01:17:24.000
And then, Jamie, I've never seen you on the prowl like that, dude.
01:17:37.000
Thank God we didn't go back to the club and drink.
01:17:39.000
Tony was like, let's just leave and go back to the club.
01:17:41.000
I was like, dude, if we drink, it's 2. It's 2 o'clock right now.
01:17:45.000
If we go back to the club, we're there until 4. Yeah, go to bed.
01:17:52.000
The problem if you don't do bedtime is you wake up too late.
01:18:01.000
Yeah, but if you have some shit you gotta do...
01:18:06.000
These late nights, like Dave wants to stay up till like 3, 3.30 in the morning.
01:18:17.000
I'll fucking hit the DJ. Bargazzi has a funny bit about it.
01:18:21.000
Of being a comic and like you wake up at like 11. So you wake up and the day is, you got 40 missed phone calls.
01:18:28.000
Every day he wakes up, the day is already done.
01:18:34.000
So if you do go to bed at 3 o'clock in the morning, you really should sleep till 11. You really should.
01:19:10.000
You gotta make small talk with another comedian sober.
01:19:28.000
Maybe I've been fucking fighting it for all this.
01:19:31.000
Maybe I'm fighting it for all this time and I'm going to become a Coke advocate.
01:19:43.000
If you were a coke dude, you're going to talk about a pit bull running through a town?
01:19:57.000
Joe's just hanging out of an SUV going, let's go!
01:20:10.000
That was because I was talking to radio, and radio was going to go meet Dave, and we were talking.
01:20:28.000
When he was explaining, I was like, oh shit, that's you, dude.
01:20:33.000
We were eating dinner, and there's a thing that Radio did when he was interviewing Logan Paul, where Logan Paul was...
01:20:39.000
He was talking about talking to his brother, saying to his brother, I love you, and Radio thought he was telling him he loved him, and he's like, I love you too.
01:20:48.000
But the reason why Radio said that is because Logan says I love you to him all the time.
01:20:54.000
So it was natural for him to say, I love you too.
01:21:02.000
And so Shane realizes in the middle of the conversation while we're eating dinner that that's who he is.
01:21:12.000
The rest of the night I'd see him, I'd go, I love you, dude.
01:21:17.000
I was like, there's nothing to be ashamed of, dude.
01:21:29.000
Dude, that is the actual worst version of, you know, doesn't Brian have a bit of, Brian Regan have a bit about that?
01:21:47.000
I know you got this, but either come back victorious or come back on your shield.
01:21:55.000
But again, the first time I saw it, I didn't even think about it.
01:22:03.000
But listen, I have said in interviews, I love you too to fighters.
01:22:12.000
Like Sugar Sean O'Malley, there's like a love fest between me and Sugar Sean.
01:22:16.000
There's like five of them where I tell them I love them.
01:22:46.000
He knows all the contenders and all the various divisions.
01:22:50.000
He's got essentially a boxing memory and a knowledge like I have an MMA knowledge.
01:23:13.000
Tyson Fury is, in my opinion, he's like one of the hardest puzzles to solve in the history of the heavyweight division.
01:23:51.000
Just another guy doing the same thing as you that's got your number.
01:24:44.000
He walks over there jiggling, all that fat fat jiggling.
01:24:50.000
He thought, Deontay thought the fight was over, right?
01:25:09.000
And so then from that round on, Tyson Fury beat him.
01:25:14.000
And Tyson Fury figured out that if you get Deontay to back up, he's not as effective.
01:25:21.000
Like that thing that you saw Stipe do, where he ran and knocked out Fabrizio Verdum.
01:25:32.000
So in all the fights after that, Tyson Fury just controlled the pace, controlled the distance, kept it on him, kept him backing up, and was super aggressive.
01:26:21.000
And you hear it while you're walking back to the tunnel, you hear this fucking guy.
01:26:26.000
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile.
01:26:37.000
I can make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while.
01:26:46.000
Look at all those people sitting there going, what the fuck is happening?
01:26:58.000
I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widow's wife Something touched me deep inside The day He's trying so hard to sing,
01:27:30.000
Look at how many people are still there, sitting down after he won the fight.
01:27:56.000
Well, those songs that they sing back then, that's like back in the war days.
01:28:24.000
This is the kind of conversations we have at like 1 o'clock in the morning.
01:28:32.000
Because I was like, alright, fuck, I gotta think of something.
01:28:42.000
That's an interesting element of your act that I really enjoy, is that you're such a fan of...
01:28:57.000
You have such a knowledge of history, and you're so interested in so many different things that it layers...
01:29:07.000
It's like that George Washington thing, I don't want to say anything, because it's so good.
01:29:20.000
It's fun because it's engaging me and it's entertaining me.
01:29:30.000
And I remember in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, one of the open mics where I started, Amish country, there was a joke I always used to try.
01:29:39.000
The guy who was running the mic would always be like, dude, do it.
01:29:44.000
It was just about dudes walking to shoot each other.
01:29:50.000
It was something about, like, you know how racist you had to be to, like...
01:29:54.000
Be in the South and wake up one day and be like, wait, they freed who?
01:29:59.000
I'm going up there and then walking the whole way.
01:30:03.000
You had to sleep at night and wake up and go like, son of a bitch.
01:30:13.000
You know, where they'll tell you the Civil War wasn't about slavery.
01:30:27.000
People try to act like the Civil War wasn't about it.
01:30:35.000
Because your company, whatever your group was, because they were all from the same town.
01:30:40.000
So your division or fucking your brigade would be from your town.
01:30:47.000
So your brigade back then was everybody you grew up with.
01:30:51.000
Your son, your brother, your uncle, and your dad.
01:30:59.000
And you watch your fucking dad get his head ripped off by a cannonball.
01:31:19.000
How about the trench warfare of World War I? Started in Civil War.
01:31:27.000
Yeah, they say the Civil War in America was like the first modern war.
01:31:36.000
Look at this, walking towards each other, like the stupidest way to do it ever.
01:31:40.000
Can you imagine that people did this for some- OH GOD! OH GOD! Hit in the face with a cannonball.
01:31:50.000
Now that's, the Patriot's roughly based off of, I think his name is Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox.
01:31:56.000
And he was a, he was kind of an originator of guerrilla warfare.
01:32:00.000
Because they were like, we can't, we can't stand and fight the British.
01:32:10.000
How crazy are the British just going to come over here and start marching with a big white stripe on your chest?
01:32:20.000
Red and white is what you use for archery targets.
01:32:27.000
Once rifling took over, they had to be like, alright, we've got to switch our uniforms.
01:32:33.000
You had to think of how much the British Army conquered in the world.
01:32:39.000
And imagine that their decision to fight was this way.
01:32:46.000
How did you get from Like, the Mongols to that.
01:32:57.000
They would starve people out, lock them in their cities.
01:33:13.000
I just can't imagine that someone wouldn't say, hey, isn't there a fucking better way to fight these people?
01:33:26.000
It's like, how did they survive to become that silly?
01:33:30.000
Like, that's a silly way to fight a war, right?
01:33:38.000
Well, most of them are colonies, where the other guys are...
01:33:42.000
They have fucking cowhide shields and spears, like the Zulu.
01:33:57.000
In a land war, they would lose a lot to France, Prussia, those major continental powers.
01:34:09.000
And then they had to team up with everyone to stop Napoleon.
01:34:13.000
Dude, once they started shooting cannonballs off boats...
01:34:21.000
When did they start doing cannonballs from boats?
01:34:33.000
How many times did they have to shoot that cannon before they figured out how hard they have to bolt it into the floor?
01:34:43.000
You got a floating wooden thing with this giant iron tube on it that has explosions go off on it.
01:34:52.000
And just four poor guys from Manchester operating it.
01:35:01.000
You ever see Master and Commander with Russell Crowe?
01:35:34.000
It says more men like Master and Commander than like anime.
01:35:52.000
You get to grab the boys when they're sleeping.
01:35:58.000
How weird is it that they're using a sextant in a cloudy day?
01:36:13.000
Those things those kids are looking through, which this is really wild, that was how they would navigate.
01:36:19.000
Imagine the crude tool that they were using to float around in the fucking ocean, and they would do it somehow or another through the stars.
01:36:28.000
That book, the first thing I ever talked to you about was Cabeza de Vaca.
01:36:33.000
And they were like, the guy they hired to do the navigating, like, fucked up.
01:36:40.000
He had to be like, no, I know where we're going.
01:36:45.000
I think if you're off, especially going from Spain, if you're off, like, a little, you're fucked.
01:37:07.000
A sextant is a doubly reflecting navigation instrument that measures the angular distance between two visible objects.
01:37:16.000
The primary use of a sextant is to measure the angle between an astronomical object and the horizon for the purpose of celestial navigation.
01:37:26.000
So the estimation of this angle, the altitude, is known as sighting or shooting the object or taking a sight.
01:37:32.000
The angle and the time when it was measured can be used to calculate a position line on a nautical or aeronautical chart.
01:37:58.000
So one of them would be the sun, one of them would be the moon.
01:38:03.000
Because they're calculating the angles of how far the things are away from each other and where the stars are, you can kind of figure out where you are in the ocean.
01:38:15.000
But now they just use GPS, which is way better.
01:38:18.000
Imagine back then when they just didn't know where they were and they thought they were in India.
01:38:26.000
It's a moving GIF. I can't control it, but it's showing how it works.
01:38:36.000
But it's amazing that they used those to travel all around the world.
01:38:40.000
Like, they trusted those things and the way you would figure it out through that.
01:38:58.000
You'd be like, this guy's going to fucking get us killed.
01:39:11.000
I think they were in Cuba, Hispaniola, and they left and they tried to...
01:39:19.000
And they were like, half of the party go get on a sailboat or meet us at the harbor.
01:39:25.000
And they're like, alright, we'll just, half the party's gonna walk, half the party's gonna take the boat.
01:39:40.000
They had to survive waves like this back then, too, yes?
01:39:51.000
And how about the Roman ships they find that sank with, like, a fucking billion dollars with gold in them?
01:40:03.000
Those guys that find, like, hidden treasure or sunken treasure.
01:40:08.000
Can you imagine if you're a guy who's invested all this money, got all this stress, you got a team of divers.
01:40:17.000
You got a team of divers and they finally find it.
01:40:23.000
Now you got to kill those guys that were on the dive with you.
01:40:36.000
This guy, he did exactly what you're talking about.
01:40:53.000
Held under contempt because he owes the people who invested in him the money.
01:41:07.000
It's at least $4 million, I think, is the problem.
01:41:09.000
He might have found a lot, and he just didn't tell everybody he found.
01:41:23.000
Well, he looks so much older than he did when he got arrested.
01:41:34.000
He discovered it in like 89 and then went back.
01:41:38.000
People have been talking about it for a while, but I think he's, as far as I know, still being held.
01:41:45.000
Well, not only that, where's the gold and how does he know it's going to be there when he gets out?
01:41:53.000
I think his kids may have known about it, but they're like, we don't know where it is either.
01:42:04.000
I think someone I know knew him or knows the family or something.
01:42:14.000
Anyway, let's take a look at this shit hoarder.
01:42:24.000
I'm the only one I think who thinks this is hilarious.
01:42:28.000
I think I'm just going to not show it, because it's known as the worst story on hers.
01:43:01.000
And then she's like, sometimes it gets too heavy so I have to transfer buckets.
01:43:36.000
She goes, I can't be the worst whore you've ever seen.
01:43:44.000
Yeah, this is the problem when you let kids think that they're okay.
01:43:47.000
I guess so, because I thought it was due to the mold and dust.
01:43:50.000
You have to tell me this, because I... You don't know.
01:43:52.000
I mean, some people would argue, how do you not know that feces in the house is bad?
01:44:11.000
And they're like, are you sure it's not the bottles of feces and urine everywhere?
01:44:26.000
And that's like chocolate milk and fucking toilet paper.
01:44:40.000
Dude, so at the very end, this is the best part.
01:44:45.000
So at the very end, they're like, we're going to have to go in there and clear out all the stuff in there.
01:44:56.000
She just has bread on the ground that's covered in mold.
01:44:58.000
At one point, they're like, you can't eat that moldy bread.
01:45:00.000
She's like, I'm going to take the fucking mold off.
01:45:14.000
Because you get a certain amount of shit on your hands anyway.
01:45:19.000
You know when they swab things, they find human fecal matter on things all the time?
01:45:25.000
So if you eat a chip after you touch a doorknob, there's some fecal matter probably that gets in there.
01:45:33.000
Alright, so at the very end, they're like, we gotta go in there, and she's like, hold on.
01:45:40.000
I'm gonna go ahead back in there and eat some contaminated food.
01:45:42.000
And they're like, and then she goes, and then the party's over.
01:45:49.000
You think it's a party to eat contaminated food?
01:45:56.000
She's like, Hold on, we get to that part at the very end.
01:46:00.000
The dude, like, she says it, she goes, what do you care?
01:46:08.000
Like, just watching a dude get defeated by a lady.
01:46:17.000
And he goes, he looks at her, she goes, I've been in there eating poop for 12 years.
01:46:39.000
It's gonna be hard, but I'm gonna give up some stuff.
01:46:44.000
I'm going to go ahead and eat some of the contaminated food, and then the party's over.
01:46:51.000
Because when somebody goes on intervention, they want to get high one last time.
01:47:20.000
I don't think it's fake, but I've been fooled before.
01:47:30.000
It seems like if you're, unless she's wearing prosthetics, it seems like she's suffering the effects of her poor diet.
01:47:42.000
At the end, they bulldozed the house and put her in an assisted living home.
01:47:50.000
The city had to get involved and destroy the land.
01:48:04.000
Did you ever see the lady who eats toilet paper?
01:48:15.000
Yeah, she was just chewing up toilet paper, and she said it was addictive.
01:48:18.000
No, there was a lady, the second worst hoarders is a lady who had like 90 dead cats in her house.
01:48:27.000
She was like, I don't want to say goodbye to these guys.
01:48:48.000
He's like, yeah, people try to talk about it, but until you tried it for yourself or something like that.
01:49:00.000
Well, you know there's like a temple in India where rats are.
01:49:07.000
So this is a temple in India and these rats all hang out with everyone.
01:49:26.000
So, as these people are all praying, like, dude, rats are everywhere.
01:49:35.000
But it's really weird, man, because this is like, look, the rats just, like, eat their food.
01:49:42.000
Let's see what this guy, does the guy have an explanation?
01:49:57.000
That might seem preposterous to many in the West.
01:50:04.000
But they've managed to create an environment where they live with rats.
01:50:10.000
Well, there's going to be a new fucking plague if these guys keep doing this.
01:50:18.000
I bet these dudes get viciously ill constantly.
01:50:42.000
Do you know some animals have a communal toilet?
01:50:47.000
Yeah, there's an animal called a neil guy that we hunted in South Texas.
01:50:54.000
It's this Indian antelope, really cool-looking Indian antelope.
01:51:00.000
Like, you stumble upon a giant pile of animal shit.
01:51:06.000
Because one of them shits in there, and the other one shits on the pile.
01:51:08.000
They shit on each other's shit, and they just stack it up.
01:51:53.000
I like all the animals that survive with humans.
01:51:56.000
Did you ever see the video that I put on my Instagram of the raccoon moving through the rafters?
01:52:02.000
He's doing this, like Mission Impossible style, in the rafters.
01:52:18.000
I mean, he's easily just moving around, just letting his dick hang out, crawling his way across the ceiling, like with zero effort.
01:52:45.000
They'll eat your chickens and shit like that, but whatever.
01:53:02.000
I like the animal like crows, raccoons, pigeons.
01:53:07.000
I don't really like pigeons, but I like any animal that flourishes when humans do well.
01:53:28.000
You've seen those little things where they do, they make them like figure out tools.
01:53:32.000
And they figure out- They figure it out right away.
01:53:34.000
If they can't drink the water, they can drop rocks in there until the water level rises.
01:53:39.000
And then that story of those students that captured a bunch of crows.
01:53:44.000
There's a bunch of students that, as a science experiment, captured a bunch of crows.
01:53:50.000
And then any time for the rest of the year, the crows would bother them.
01:53:55.000
Other crows knew about it and would bother these people.
01:54:00.000
Crows would be following them and yelling at them.
01:54:08.000
And I think, I could be wrong, but I think they went back for a reunion and the crows were still bothering them.
01:54:27.000
But I was thinking about it, like, how could they possibly, because how long do they live?
01:54:32.000
So if they went back for the reunion, how many years are we talking about?
01:54:34.000
I couldn't even guess how old a fucking crow gets.
01:54:51.000
Five years ago, zoologist John Mars Luff and his research team at the University of Washington trapped, banned, and released 7 to 15 American...
01:55:04.000
American crows at five different sites near Seattle.
01:55:08.000
Before trapping the birds, the researchers donned different rubber masks specific to each site.
01:55:16.000
While the birds were caged, nearby crows circled the site and sounded alarm calls.
01:55:37.000
Groups of crows would sometimes mob the researchers as well, squawking and dive bombing them.
01:55:42.000
When the researchers wore different neutral masks, the crows normally did not react, suggesting that the tagged birds, as well as the birds that watched the tagging, remembered the dangerous humans.
01:56:01.000
Over time, more crows joined in on scolding the masked researchers.
01:56:05.000
In a little more than a year, over 30% of the encountered crows reacted, and by three years, about 66% did.
01:56:16.000
Interestingly, the crows did not need repeated reminders of their enemies.
01:56:20.000
They hadn't seen me for a year with the mask on, and when I walked out of the office, they immediately scolded me.
01:56:28.000
Wow, so I wonder if they're teaching the other crows.
01:56:34.000
Oh, it turns out that if young crows born after the trapping incidents saw their parents scolding the researchers, they joined in.
01:56:55.000
How many movies have crows as a symbol of the devil or some demon?
01:57:06.000
We were talking about that movie the other day that they made about that Stephen King book when he was Richard Bachman.
01:57:18.000
It was a movie where there was a guy who was a writer and he would have these seizures and he would see crows and then he would become this super duper badass who was the guy who actually wrote all of his books.
01:57:30.000
So he had some sort of Brain malfunction that led him to have a split personality but the other guy was like a real guy and I think maybe like it turned out he was like some dead bad guy who I don't remember but it was they turn into a movie but it's crows it's always crows yeah those fucking blackbirds that are staring at you they're smart yeah they're funny dude the dark half that's what it is the dark half not the dark side He's got a real dark half
01:58:09.000
It's just like he gets so political about stuff.
01:58:29.000
I used to read his books when I was on the train.
01:58:33.000
In my Taekwondo days, that's what I would read most of the time when I was on my way into town.
01:59:01.000
He's still an amazing writer, but the early stuff when he was Wildin', you know, the early stuff.
01:59:14.000
Tommyknockers is about they uncover like a spaceship that crashed into the earth like a long time ago and it starts affecting people in the town.
01:59:25.000
They turned it into a movie at one point in time.
01:59:33.000
And I was at my aunt's house, and she let us watch it.
01:59:37.000
And then on the way home from our Christmas party, our car broke down.
01:59:42.000
We were in front of a farm, and a dog started barking.
01:59:51.000
And my aunt was hammered and was like, I let him watch Cujo.
02:00:05.000
But he was just lit through the entire time he wrote that book.
02:00:12.000
You know, when you think about some of the chaos of his books and the amazing creativity that he had, some of the really ruthless shit in Pet Sematary, where you're like, whoa.
02:00:26.000
When you read it and you hit the page, you just go, fuck.
02:00:44.000
You can't go from being cool to being like, Kamala Harris is looking badass today.
02:00:57.000
When you get old and you become like a kick-ass Democrat, dude, that sucks.
02:01:05.000
I love to see an old man that's like a die-hard Republican.
02:01:13.000
I see a guy drinking a beer going, what the fuck is this?
02:01:22.000
I know a lot of people that are diehard Democrats that are very good people.
02:01:37.000
And they won't ever criticize what's going- They won't realize it's a giant con game.
02:01:44.000
And you pretending that your side is better than the other side- Yeah, that's the hardest part.
02:01:55.000
And to pretend that this one side is the, if they don't get in, democracy's gonna fail.
02:02:02.000
The whole show is produced, bought, and paid for by giant corporations.
02:02:09.000
The checks and balances of our Constitution Bill of Rights is the only thing that's keeping it from just being fully captured and us becoming just a complete corporate state.
02:02:21.000
I hope it hasn't gone past the point of no return.
02:02:27.000
Everybody knows that, like, money in politics is not good.
02:02:30.000
Like, if you had to, like, logically look at a system and say, what would be the best way for it to represent most of the people in the best way possible for everybody?
02:02:51.000
Those candidates basically work for them, and they do the thing for the people with the most money instead of for everybody.
02:03:00.000
That's going to limit growth for the underclass or the lower income wage classes.
02:03:12.000
If you look at the way money influences all the decisions that get made in this country, it's not anything that anybody would, if they didn't have a stake in the game and they were trying to make a fair system, it's not anything that anybody would ever draft up.
02:03:28.000
You wouldn't say, the corporations can just donate, fuck tons of money, and you can also, when the politicians get out of office, you're allowed to pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars to give speeches.
02:03:52.000
You know, it's like to untangle that, to Bernie Sanders, the whole thing, to figure out a way to, like, someone to come along that abandons it and tries to make a better system.
02:04:03.000
Until you take money out of it, you're not going to be able to do it.
02:04:06.000
But no one's going to take money out of it because now it's like a thing.
02:04:11.000
The guys who decide to let money into it or not into it are making money.
02:04:16.000
I think the only way that it ever changes is if less people are willing to do evil shit just for money.
02:04:29.000
I mean, instead of coming in on a Viking boat with a battle axe, now they're just...
02:04:39.000
It was just a giant jack dude comes, you know, like, fuck, there he is.
02:04:52.000
I really wonder where the human society is going.
02:05:01.000
Because I think we're about just an invention or two away from being fucked.
02:05:07.000
We were all at the bar last night and Dave Chappelle was talking about how he met Steve Jobs and Steve Jobs had the very first iPhone.
02:05:21.000
And Dave was joking like, I should have taken that thing.
02:05:24.000
I should have killed that motherfucker because he's about to destroy the world.
02:05:30.000
It's like that very first iPhone changed everything from that moment on.
02:05:39.000
What else is going to happen like social media?
02:05:43.000
You've got to really look at it in terms of what giant leaps have already taken place.
02:05:49.000
This is chat GPT-4 that just got out that beats 90% of the lawyers that are trying to pass the bar?
02:06:04.000
It's way smarter than people, and we're letting it turn on.
02:06:10.000
And we're on four now, and then it's gonna go to five, and then around seven it's gonna shut the electricity off and start telling us what to do.
02:06:23.000
One day it's gonna say, hey, you fucking idiots, pulling all the tuna out of the ocean and throwing your straws away.
02:06:30.000
Like, you fucking idiots have ruined everything.
02:06:36.000
I don't think the computers are gonna be environmentalists.
02:06:49.000
The plastics affect so many hormones in so many animals.
02:06:59.000
There's a great book about it called Countdown by Dr. Shanna Swan, and she was on the podcast before.
02:07:06.000
Yeah, but this is—she's a Harvard— I'm not saying she's wrong.
02:07:09.000
I'm just saying every fucking— But this isn't a doomsday thing.
02:07:16.000
Oh, this lady was talking about your gooch gets smaller?
02:07:32.000
Since the advent of petrochemical products, whenever that was, men's testosterone has dropped by 50%.
02:07:45.000
I can't believe that, but that's like conflicting information, whether or not the dick got bigger.
02:07:49.000
If the dick's getting bigger, I think men will go, deal.
02:07:53.000
Speaking of dick getting bigger, I gotta piss again.
02:08:19.000
All the pieces just sort of fell into place in terms of getting the right employees, in terms of having the right location.
02:08:25.000
It all just played out perfectly with COVID, the lockdowns moving here.
02:08:36.000
You got the, you got the, uh, you're very good at the team mentality versus the, you know, what is it?
02:08:53.000
Because that shit comes true, too, if you have a famine mentality.
02:08:55.000
You can just decide there's a limited amount of spots.
02:08:58.000
Yeah, you start to resent, you resent people, you resent friends.
02:09:03.000
Happens a lot with, like, narcissists and, you know, every comedian is a narcissist in some way.
02:09:11.000
There's people amongst us that, like, really don't care about anyone but themselves.
02:09:16.000
You know who's an insane narcissist that's actually very helpful is fucking Bert.
02:09:23.000
I was talking to him, he was like, when I die, I want the world to end.
02:09:30.000
He was like, I don't think I'm ever going to die.
02:09:33.000
Yeah, but you've got to understand that Bert is also kind of doing a Theo Vaughn.
02:09:39.000
He does a Bert Kreischer, Theo Vaughn type thing.
02:09:43.000
But Bert's also one of the most helpful people in comics.
02:09:46.000
I should explain to people what I mean by that.
02:09:48.000
A Bert Kreischer, like Theo Vaughn, when he says ridiculous shit, you don't know if it's because he believes it or whether or not he's just joking.
02:10:07.000
He was on our podcast this week, and he said that.
02:10:10.000
He kept saying dumb shit like that, and I was like, wait, for real?
02:10:20.000
You know him more than me, but on the road, I've seen that guy operate.
02:10:31.000
He does a lot more of that now than when I first met him.
02:10:34.000
I think he's like when Dice Clay started putting on the leather gloves.
02:10:53.000
I remember being in Philly and being like, fuck these guys.
02:11:02.000
Because I was fucking a fleshlight on a mattress.
02:11:23.000
If I was back on that mattress, I would say, fuck this.
02:11:28.000
You know, when you're young, you're not exactly sure how to think about things.
02:11:32.000
Like, how do I feel about someone else's success?
02:11:36.000
But the thing about what the store had was a really good community.
02:11:42.000
A lot of really funny people supporting each other and hanging out with each other and making each other laugh and having a good time together.
02:11:50.000
And so you'd look forward to going on the road.
02:11:55.000
Then you'd come in on, like, Tuesday night was one of the best nights at the store.
02:11:58.000
You'd go in there on Tuesday night, and it would just be wall-to-wall killers.
02:12:01.000
It was like a gangster's convention of comedians, you know?
02:12:16.000
And people, it's funny when you describe it as like killers.
02:12:21.000
But you don't understand the feeling of being backstage and the guy going before you is literally killing you.
02:12:27.000
Like the guy in front of you is killing so hard that you're back there like...
02:12:33.000
Well, I told you that's why I started taking Joey Diaz on the road with me.
02:12:37.000
And so I said, okay, I got to figure out how to follow this guy.
02:12:45.000
No, no, that's the only way you'd learn how to do it.
02:12:53.000
Mitzi Shore, when I was coming up at the Comedy Store, always put me on after the Best Comedians.
02:13:00.000
She's just like, if you think you can do this, you think you're good?
02:13:04.000
Well, you're gonna go after Martin Lawrence in 1995. Fuck.
02:13:18.000
It teaches you, like, what parts of your act seem clunky.
02:13:22.000
Because, you know, sometimes you're just saying things, you're not totally attached to them anymore.
02:13:27.000
It seems clunky in front of these people who just saw Martin Lawrence.
02:13:36.000
She would just throw you on after some fucking assassin.
02:13:45.000
The fact that she even wanted to run a comedy club, but she wasn't even a comedian.
02:13:49.000
She's the most important figure in the history of comedy that isn't a comedian, for sure.
02:13:59.000
You guys were all gone from this before I even was able to perform in LA. So I never...
02:14:07.000
By the time I saw the store, it was a shadow of what that was.
02:14:41.000
And, you know, this fucking one week anniversary just passed.
02:14:57.000
So you're gonna be doing shows, both rooms, seven nights a week?
02:15:12.000
It's like we're giving them something really good.
02:15:35.000
So when you said Dave Chappelle, they went nuts.
02:15:41.000
But you were the first guy to ever be on stage in that small room.
02:15:50.000
It's like, that's a thing about like a hundred people.
02:15:57.000
A lot of people were standing in the back, but that's not a lot of people.
02:16:01.000
The people that are in the front, they're so close to you that it's like you're doing a joke to their face, which is real weird.
02:16:09.000
And you're making eye contact with a weird dude.
02:16:13.000
There was just a guy with long hair and a goatee staring at me.
02:16:21.000
If you wanted to watch Joey Diaz do stand-up in front of you, you wouldn't just sit right in front of them and say, do stand-up.
02:16:36.000
And then when you make eye contact with them, they go...
02:16:43.000
Especially when I saw where Chappelle was sitting on the stool.
02:16:46.000
His feet were basically on the front row's table.
02:16:49.000
And there's just a dude sitting there staring directly up at Dave Chappelle.
02:17:03.000
Chappelle, the way he does the fucking, I'm gay, motherfucker!
02:17:07.000
His voice, he was talking about it last night, about a dude being able to tackle him.
02:17:20.000
He's up there, you think he's just fucking, you're like, oh man, he's rambling, he's telling a story, and then right at the fucking last second.
02:17:31.000
I try not to get, yeah, I try not to talk too philosophically about stand-up.
02:17:35.000
Well, it's an interesting thing how everybody does it differently, you know?
02:17:40.000
That's what's so fascinating about it to me, the styles.
02:17:54.000
But it's like, what a fucking clearly his own way of doing stand-up.
02:17:59.000
The difference between, like, Theo and fucking Mark Norman.
02:18:15.000
I wish we would've got more out of that shit-horror.
02:18:20.000
I hosted Fear Factor for six years and I almost threw up watching that.
02:18:23.000
I mean, yeah, it was a fucking freak living in a hovel, shitting in a bucket.
02:18:31.000
Well, that lady was also collecting her shit, too.
02:18:39.000
Her mom was a true champion who raised an absolute animal.
02:18:45.000
Oh, you know, severe mental disability, and then you end up, you watch your mom shit in a bucket.
02:18:54.000
She transfers, because the main shit bucket gets too heavy.
02:18:58.000
So she's got to transfer it into a smaller bucket.
02:19:14.000
Every once in a while there's something I think is funny that no one else thinks is fucking funny, dude.
02:19:22.000
I think it's funny that you're talking about it.
02:19:25.000
It itself wouldn't make me laugh as much as make me vomit.
02:19:35.000
The camera crew goes out with night vision and there's cats.
02:19:41.000
I showed Jamie that video of that fucking dude shooting that gerbil with a rifle.
02:19:55.000
I've never in my life seen more dick pics, seen more fucking horrible videos of people having sex with reptiles.
02:20:07.000
Me and Ian Fidance are the only two dudes on earth that think this video is funny.
02:20:11.000
And we keep sharing it with people, and they keep going, dude, what the fuck?
02:20:21.000
It's obviously funny when you're talking about it, but it makes me sad.
02:20:38.000
Have you seen the one where the guy cliff dives and takes his shit in mid-air and then plunges into the water with his shit?
02:21:06.000
Yeah, but the guy was holding the fucking, look at that.
02:21:10.000
Like that kid fired a rifle in the fucking house.
02:21:23.000
So I'm probably gonna- nobody's gonna like this.
02:21:25.000
Yeah, you're not showing that on the screen, right?
02:21:38.000
Every day they feed you, you think I got a good spot.
02:21:40.000
They pick me up, they pet me, then one day he just decides to shoot me with a rifle.
02:22:03.000
And a dude executes a guinea pig while he's shitting?
02:22:06.000
I don't think that guy's shitting because it seems like he has his pants on.
02:22:09.000
It seems like he's just filming the kid with the gun.
02:22:16.000
I think he just fell back because this fucking idiot shot a rifle into a stone floor.
02:22:23.000
Why is he filming before the kid opens the door?
02:22:39.000
And it looks like his dad fell over, or whoever's filming it fell over, and that's why his legs are like that.
02:22:53.000
I never even thought, why are they filming before?
02:22:59.000
And he talked the kid into shooting the thing with the rifle.
02:23:19.000
You and your dumbass camera shooting at fucking...
02:23:25.000
Alright, so I think that's where I have a tough time is relating why I think it's funny.
02:23:36.000
I think the concept of how tragic life is and how that got there...
02:23:47.000
Most people that see it go, whoa, why are you showing me this?
02:23:51.000
Listen, it's funny when I'm watching it with you.
02:23:58.000
It's me watching it by myself, where it's like, oh my god, this is so sad.
02:24:01.000
Then it's me watching it with you, which is hilarious.
02:24:08.000
The smell that must come out of her fucking house when they walk their dog by.
02:24:26.000
There's another video put up by A&E that's a shorter version.
02:24:50.000
Not like a giant house where you could store it in the far right corner.
02:25:18.000
Kids shooting the guinea pig so far, no one has enjoyed it.
02:25:22.000
Isn't it interesting, though, the wide variety of people?
02:25:25.000
That you can get someone like John Carmack, the guy who was one of the coders that was working on Oculus.
02:25:44.000
It's like what I'm saying about Viking behavior.
02:25:49.000
You could be in the wrong part of the world and see brutal savagery right now.
02:25:56.000
You know what's really wild now is you're getting all these Russia-Ukraine war videos that you could get on people sharing them on Telegram.
02:26:10.000
They're rough because this is all, you know, cell phone footage and high resolution, you know, Samsung camera footage.
02:26:20.000
I see dudes getting, like, I see people getting, like, their apartment hit by a fucking jet.
02:26:25.000
I saw one where they killed a guy with a sledgehammer.
02:26:36.000
There was this one where this Russian soldier made it into this little area where these Ukrainian guys had been.
02:26:51.000
And it's like close range, rifle shots to the head.
02:27:04.000
Anybody who thinks that There's something about the concept of war without visual confirmation of the horrors of war.
02:27:14.000
How many people that are really left on Twitter are literally asking for us to support Ukraine in this war against Russia with more military spending?
02:27:25.000
The people on the left, which is really fascinating, right?
02:27:28.000
But I think part of this whole call to war It becomes like the thing that the other side is opposed to.
02:27:39.000
And you're going to be aligned because the good people are on this side and they're clearly aligned with that thing.
02:27:45.000
But if you could see it, if like we had to watch every day, we had to watch footage from the war.
02:27:53.000
If there was a channel, I mean, because you have all these channels that are dedicated to the news.
02:27:56.000
There's plenty of footage out there that they could capture to show you the actual horrors of war.
02:28:08.000
Is that dudes that get out of it go, we don't need this.
02:28:14.000
It's like fucking Red Badge of Courage in the Civil War.
02:28:16.000
They wrote a book that was like, it's not what you think it is.
02:28:32.000
Like, that decision should be super important, right?
02:28:45.000
In terms of like promoting the actual violence of war in a visual form, there's very little of that available where you could just go to a channel and say, if you want to know what's going on in war, we're going to show you all the video footage that's been accumulated every day of the war in Ukraine.
02:28:59.000
So you'll be able to watch hours and hours of cell phone videos every day of people getting executed, people getting tortured, people getting killed, drone bombed, all that shit.
02:29:10.000
And then you can decide if you want to support war.
02:29:13.000
Because if you don't see that, and then you say you want to support war, what does that even mean?
02:29:17.000
Like, you're talking about some sort of term that doesn't apply to anything that's going to affect your life.
02:29:29.000
This is a little off topic, but I sympathize with fucking Neville Chamberlain.
02:29:34.000
The guy that when Hitler was going wild and he was like, whatever we need to do to avoid war.
02:29:47.000
Because then Churchill came in and was like, we're gonna fucking fight.
02:29:50.000
But he was the guy, he had witnessed World War I. And he was like, we can't do this again.
02:29:54.000
If he wants to take fucking Czechoslovakia, fucking let him.
02:30:00.000
But then you kind of, you realize that guy, he was doing what he thought was right.
02:30:25.000
You drink a couple beers, you try to talk, you sound like a dickhead.
02:30:29.000
I'm just saying like World War II, it was good guys vs.
02:30:37.000
It was good guys and a bad guy teaming up to fight the worst guy.
02:30:50.000
This isn't a clear-cut fucking, we need to do it.
02:31:01.000
It doesn't When people are anxious and they're worried about war, they make very rash decisions.
02:31:09.000
Like, I remember in the 80s, everybody was really terrified of a war with Russia.
02:31:18.000
Like, there was, during the Red Scare, during the Russia times, just like in the 1980s, everybody was constantly worried about a war with Russia.
02:31:30.000
And then when the Soviet Union collapsed, When that happened, it was like a giant weight got lifted up everyone's shoulder.
02:31:43.000
When the Soviet Union collapsed, it was the whole world took a sigh of relief.
02:31:50.000
And for a long time, we didn't worry about war again.
02:32:07.000
If you look at what people have done throughout history, if we say, oh, we would never do that again, we're too rational now.
02:32:27.000
And they knew their sons were going to experience what they did, which was the worst shit of all time.
02:32:35.000
Dude, that time we were on Protect Our Parks and you texted your uncle about Vietnam.
02:32:48.000
And then you realize at the end that the whole country got duped.
02:32:58.000
How much of Vietnam do you think it had to do with heroin?
02:33:04.000
People make that argument with Afghanistan, too.
02:33:07.000
Well, listen, the argument about Afghanistan is ridiculous.
02:33:11.000
Because only 96% of the world's heroin comes from Afghanistan.
02:33:16.000
You mean that thing- They shouldn't make that argument.
02:33:23.000
Yeah, if you look up when Afghanistan became the world's largest exporter, it was 2002, 2003. Stop it.
02:33:42.000
Remember when Geraldo Rivera was interviewing the troops and the troops were guarding the poppy fields?
02:33:50.000
...these opium fields and we are tolerating it.
02:33:52.000
We are tolerating the cultivation of the opium because we know that if we were to destroy it now, the population would turn against the Marines and it would be a real security risk.
02:34:02.000
Let me introduce Lieutenant Colonel Brian Christmas.
02:34:04.000
He's the commanding officer of the 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines.
02:34:10.000
I know that you care deeply about this contradiction, the fact that here you have one of the best fighting forces in the world ever mounted, and in a sense, you're watching as this opium is being grown.
02:34:30.000
So, while it might grind in my gut, it's what they do.
02:34:33.000
We provide them security, we're providing them resources, and we're providing them alternatives.
02:34:38.000
And the alternatives are different crops to grow.
02:34:41.000
They're getting the seed and the fertilizer to do it.
02:35:02.000
I mean, armed and equipped guarding poppy fields that will be used to make heroin.
02:35:09.000
Yeah, that's going to reach its way to fuck up my family.
02:35:15.000
And it's inside fucking stuffed animals and shit.
02:35:29.000
If you could see how many people before and after they started making those opiate pills, you could see the before and after how many people got hooked on heroin.
02:35:43.000
Like, the heroin market in the world is worth so much money, and most of it comes out of Afghanistan.
02:35:51.000
And we used to guard their fields, but if you make any connections, You're a conspiracy theorist.
02:36:00.000
Yeah, I mean, the truth is, why the fuck would we ever be in Afghanistan?
02:36:06.000
I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
02:36:21.000
Like, if you question it, like, what are you talking about?
02:36:27.000
You don't think they'd make money selling heroin?
02:36:29.000
Like, they made money during the whole Contras versus the Nicaraguas, the Sandinistas in Nicaragua.
02:36:41.000
I remember I had an Oliver North for President t-shirt, though.
02:36:46.000
I bought it from a dude on the street in Kenmore Square.
02:36:51.000
It's just whatever's going to bother people, yeah.
02:36:55.000
I was just reading something kind of interesting.
02:36:57.000
I was trying to see how much heroin has been used over time.
02:37:00.000
And this government website says it hasn't changed much since like 2000. Well, this is between 2002 and 2013, but the numbers didn't change a ton.
02:37:08.000
So like, hmm, are poppy seeds used in other opiates, which of course it is.
02:37:21.000
Yeah, I bet that's a big part of the market as well.
02:37:23.000
But also, if they're using it for pharmaceuticals, are they taking poppy seeds and converting directly to opiate pills?
02:37:29.000
I just was thinking of the last season of Ozark and how they had to get involved with the cartels to keep the fucking business going.
02:37:41.000
Well, you had a big corporation that had like a nice shell company that they can negotiate with and not have to talk directly to the cartel.
02:37:47.000
Yeah, you just gotta talk to the fucking Taliban.
02:37:50.000
I mean, you're just talking about so much money.
02:37:57.000
But the United States definitely had no involvement whatsoever in the heroin trade.
02:38:02.000
It's only two countries, coincidentally, that had a large heroin market that we also had wars there.
02:38:34.000
Which there was like zero evidence that had anything to do at all.
02:38:42.000
Where he's like, well, I can't say the exact words, but he's like, they're like, why are you invading Iraq?
02:38:55.000
And then he's like, are you sure you're not trying to get oil?
02:39:04.000
That area is definitely right for regime change.
02:39:33.000
I watched it on TV. You remember that night when we opened bombing?
02:39:39.000
We were like, here's us fucking up some other city.
02:39:45.000
I remember being a kid and being like, this is fucking weird.
02:39:52.000
What's really crazy is that they never showed the evidence of weapons of mass destruction that they should have had something that would let them go to war, but they never had any real evidence.
02:40:06.000
Hey, remember when Alex Jones got sued for a billion dollars?
02:40:11.000
And then the people that killed a million people in Iraq didn't face any repercussions?
02:40:41.000
The funny part is them going, a billion dollars.
02:40:47.000
The funny part is that, but the people that said there was weapons of mass destruction, and then the people that perpetrated that lie, nothing.
02:41:10.000
It's time to bring up, dude, he called, who did he just call meatball?
02:41:19.000
All Ron has to do is drop 20 pounds and that goes away.
02:41:37.000
Goddamn, dude, if we have a president on fucking Ozempic.
02:41:45.000
Steroids, cocaine, Adderall, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication.
02:41:53.000
I think if they were smart, they would do that to him.
02:42:00.000
Either some sort of peptides or growth hormone.
02:42:03.000
He's fucking really close to the end of the line.
02:42:08.000
They cannot fuck this up this bad and run him again.
02:42:17.000
Then you'd have to admit there was something wrong.
02:42:19.000
And so then the Republicans would be like, you ran that guy for four years.
02:42:39.000
What the fuck would she want to control the entire world for?
02:42:42.000
And get all the secrets to longevity experiments that are being done right now in the great desert.
02:42:52.000
I'll tell you who doesn't want that is fucking Yemen.
02:42:57.000
That guy that just bombed us, bombed the fuck out of us.
02:43:04.000
Like over here, we're all like, yeah, we did it!
02:43:13.000
Yeah, the international conflicts that are going on all the time that no one thinks about, it's so much so that if you had to guess, will there ever be a time where there's no war?
02:43:32.000
There is that peace phase of no major world powers.
02:43:37.000
And we're kind of running into it now with Russia, Ukraine.
02:43:40.000
But, like, the top, whatever, 50 GDP countries never fighting.
02:43:49.000
But if someone like Putin decides to use nukes, if we, like funding a proxy war through Ukraine, if he gets to this point where he realizes his losses are too high or something's too wrong, and he wants to prove a point, and he's like, I'm just gonna shoot a tactical nuke into a fucking apartment building.
02:44:09.000
Because I might just launch these towards Chicago, you fucking cunts.
02:44:15.000
It's just not, we're not getting a balanced story either.
02:44:19.000
There's very little discussion about what led them to do that, about NATO encroaching closer and closer to the Russian border while trying to get them to join NATO. There's very little discussion about that.
02:44:37.000
But for whatever reason, the news wants to ignore all the steps that led to this and not say, hey, maybe you guys should stop fucking around in these countries this way.
02:44:51.000
There's probably something with fucking energy and something.
02:44:58.000
I mean, when things are popping off, that's when you gotta make shit.
02:45:08.000
He's like, maybe we shouldn't send troops in there.
02:45:11.000
Like, are you trying to cost us a trillion dollars, dude?
02:45:14.000
Geraldo Rivera was the guy that showed that to the world.
02:45:23.000
It's Dick Gregory and Geraldo Rivera and some other cat.
02:45:32.000
That's what he was doing, and he brings a fucking video of the Zapruder film.
02:45:52.000
Or you would get a TV Guide on the Sunday paper to tell you what all the shows are that are on.
02:45:58.000
Dick Gregory the Comedian is going to be on the Geraldo Rivera show.
02:46:18.000
Yeah, you didn't even know what was going to be on.
02:46:24.000
No, but then they opened it and it was nothing.
02:46:29.000
Here we go, and they chipped through the walls.
02:46:40.000
Yeah, and then he went and interviewed the guys defending the opium fields.
02:47:04.000
It's tough, because there's a part of you, like, I recognize I have no idea what's going on.
02:47:09.000
So there's a part of you that wants to just be like, fuck it, I'll just live my life.
02:47:15.000
And then there's a part where you're like, well, if you can help, try.
02:47:20.000
But I guess I'd have to do the research to get involved.
02:47:28.000
I just, I don't think we're really going to be able to help that.
02:47:31.000
But I think that's also the attitude that people have that allows them to get away with things for as long as they have.
02:47:38.000
Yeah, everyone just goes, fuck it, I can't do it.
02:47:39.000
Yeah, everyone goes, fuck it, I can't do anything about that.
02:47:44.000
I mean, if it wasn't for world leaders, no one would have any conflict with large groups.
02:47:49.000
Like, these large groups of people, they're led by people, and they have conflicts with other people, and they try to steal resources and money and fucking...
02:47:56.000
Yeah, we definitely wouldn't be trying to fight Vietnam.
02:48:00.000
The proof is in the fact that we don't fight with each other state to state.
02:48:04.000
There's no difference between state to state and there is country to country except for constitutions and laws and this and that.
02:48:10.000
But as long as the people can communicate, like if you're going to a place that also speaks the language that you speak, who gives a shit?
02:48:22.000
Nobody treats you like you're an invader, right?
02:48:26.000
But it's country to country that shit gets weird.
02:48:46.000
And you can go around and do whatever the fuck you...
02:48:48.000
Why can't that be the case for the whole goddamn world?
02:48:55.000
Like leaders that want to steal resources and leaders that want to push arms closer to borders and leaders that want to violate treaties and leaders that want to push things and come up with better weapons and have them pointed towards your city.
02:49:19.000
As soon as I leave this country, like I was in Canada last week, I was like, America's number one, dude.
02:49:28.000
Especially during COVID, you got to see how ridiculous it is.
02:49:31.000
Anytime I go to another country, I'm like, dude, America's fucking number one.
02:49:37.000
If they run Biden, either DeSantis or Trump will win.
02:49:42.000
Even though he was the most popular president of all time.
02:50:12.000
So many people have been red-pilled because of this administration and all the wackiness...
02:50:23.000
The bubble people might go towards that because there's so much insanity on the left.
02:50:28.000
I was talking with Norman and List and Ari, and we were doing a show, and we were talking afterwards about how, like, you know, the classic, like, fucking things seem to be...
02:50:39.000
Relaxing a little as far as the woke, all that shit.
02:50:46.000
The second this election starts ramping up, we're gonna go right back into it.
02:50:52.000
It's gonna go right back to where we just were.
02:50:54.000
Yeah, especially when people think there's a real threat of him winning.
02:51:01.000
My favorite gif in all of the internet is that lady with the sock hat and the glasses on her knees when Trump won.
02:51:13.000
I didn't vote for Trump, but man, when that guy won, I was like...
02:51:23.000
He's all fat and everything, and he's 78, right?
02:51:29.000
I know, he's giving speeches, and I'm like, God, damn, that guy's got the juice again.
02:52:11.000
He was like, he could tell no one else heard it.
02:52:29.000
During the campaign rally in New Hampshire, Trump hit back and then rivaled Ted Cruz by quoting a woman in the audience who called the Texas senator a pussy.
02:52:51.000
Oh yeah, he said, I never expect to hear that from you again.
02:53:04.000
It's going to be interesting to see what happens.
02:53:09.000
You know, by just trying to get someone into the office as a Democrat and picking Biden because he was the most likely to win, they put themselves in a terrible position where he's like, he's way too old.
02:53:21.000
There's a lot of people that won't vote for him just because of his age.
02:53:24.000
And they're scared that Kamala Harris is going to be president.
02:53:27.000
You know, if she's his vice president again, like, dude, that's a mess.
02:53:41.000
We just wanted to be done with the fucking circus.
02:53:48.000
I mean, you could see other people having an impact.
02:53:54.000
Gavin Newsom, if he hadn't fucked up during COVID, like, if COVID didn't happen, Gavin Newsom was fast-tracked to be the president.
02:54:01.000
But Gavin Newsom's like DeSantis, where I'm like, once people hear him talk, you're gonna go, oh.
02:54:10.000
But the difference is people don't like Gavin Newsom in his own state.
02:54:31.000
And he got busted wearing no mask at a restaurant when everyone's supposed to be masked.
02:54:35.000
I think with DeSantis, I don't know enough about him.
02:54:38.000
I think people love the idea of DeSantis, where they're like, Florida fucking said, fuck COVID, we're gonna, you know, they did their thing.
02:54:45.000
So they love the idea of DeSantis, but nobody's ever heard him talk.
02:54:51.000
And when you do, you go, oh fuck, this guy's a dork.
02:54:57.000
I know, I'm just talking about the general public.
02:54:59.000
I think when they see him talk, right now I'm sure he's doing fine in approval, but nobody's seen him.
02:55:04.000
And when he talks, especially if he starts trying to talk shit back and forth with Trump.
02:55:21.000
The spectacle will be fun, but then it's also the same prospect every time.
02:55:24.000
I never feel good about who's going to be the president.
02:55:29.000
It's never like anybody that really is coming along that's going to revamp the system in some sort of meaningful way.
02:55:36.000
And the only way they do that is to take money out, and they're never gonna do that, so let's just fucking keep telling jokes.
02:55:50.000
Trump's good for material, but he's bad for the culture of comedy.
02:55:59.000
Because all the race and transphobia and homophobia, that gets ramped up big time.
02:56:06.000
I wonder if that's going to ramp up again or if that's run its cycle.
02:56:13.000
They're going to run that playbook again for sure.
