On this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the boys talk about the Mongolian Empire, Genghis Khan, and why we should all be scared of the Mongols. Joe also talks about his first ever archery shot and how he got it, which is pretty cool considering it was at a 40 yard range with an 80lb compound bow. Also, we talk about why the UFC is better than the rest of the world because of the Mongolians and why they should be the centerpiece of the military of the modern world. And of course, Joe talks about how he thinks the UFC sucks compared to the Mongol Empire and why it s better than any other sports team in the world and much, much more!

00:01:20.000It's very hard, but it's really satisfying.
00:01:22.000Like, it puts in perspective, like, the people who can do it on horseback, you know, you see it in the movies and shit like that, and I don't know why I didn't think it was that hard, but...
00:02:00.000Wild strategies like they would set people up like they would they would send a small party out and those people would go after a small party and chase them down They would lead them into like a canyon filled with Mongols and just slaughter everybody and block the exit and yeah,
00:02:15.000they would hold a siege They would attack a city and they would bring so much food and so much so many supplies They just camp outside outside the city to starve until everybody starved out And then they would start killing people and lighting them on fire and putting them on catapults and launching them over the walls and light their own houses on fire with the dead bodies of people they killed.
00:05:06.000You know, cyber warfare, they would start hacking into Google servers, Amazon servers, crash everything, financial disruption, crash power grids, do it slow.
00:05:20.000Do it over decades, you've got plenty of time.
00:05:22.000As long as you don't nuke United States first, they're not gonna nuke you.
00:09:24.000Look, it's always been, if it bleeds, it leads in the news.
00:09:30.000You know, we talk about how bad the news is today, but the reality is, like, 5 o'clock news, when you get home from work, it was always the worst shit that happened.
00:10:09.000I talked to my wife, and she's younger than me, and she felt the same thing.
00:10:12.000And some of my other friends, I asked them, they grew up in different parts of the country, and they were like, oh, yeah, everyone was scared.
00:12:15.000And then in 1970, they passed this sweeping Schedule I psychedelic act that makes all those drugs Schedule I forbidden drugs.
00:12:26.000All the drugs that are non-toxic, like psilocybin, like things that your body makes, like dimethyltryptamine, all those things become— That's DMT. Yeah, all those things become schedule one.
00:12:38.000And then automobile design drops off a fucking cliff.
00:13:30.000I think this is just where we make the deal where it's like oil has to be sold in U.S. dollars and now we have a backing for the dollar when for a while we didn't, right?
00:13:44.000And now we're in that situation right now where most oil is sold in U.S. dollars and then those countries that decide not to, if we're going to get conspiratorial, those people who have decided maybe they won't sell it in U.S. dollars, they have difficulty staying in power.
00:15:31.000All Graham Hancock is saying is that it's very likely that the entire world experienced a cataclysmic disaster around 11,820 years.
00:15:42.00012,000 years ago, somewhere in that range, and it knocked us back into the Stone Age.
00:15:46.000But those people who were around before that were probably more sophisticated than we are.
00:15:52.000We just have a hard time imagining that because we don't have any evidence of it.
00:15:56.000And we just don't think that the execution matches up with the technology.
00:16:00.000If we found some tech that would make sense, I think that we could go, okay, maybe this did happen 4,000 years ago or whatever it is.
00:16:07.000So far, the idea of a chisel and a stone carving all these blocks and then people just dragging them in the sand, I think it seems a little bit unreasonable.
00:16:17.000There's some real problems with the actual physical limitations of the size of these obelisks where they're cutting them in the mountains and they have to move them hundreds of miles.
00:16:27.000How are you getting them out of the mountains?
00:19:15.000Although she died in 2000, Lamar was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame for the development of her frequency-hopping technology in 2014. She did it way before 2014, though.
00:19:26.000Such achievement has led Lamar to be dubbed the mother of Wi-Fi and other wireless communications like GPS and Bluetooth.
00:23:55.000But there's a specific thing, and I was thinking about this last night when I went back about the club.
00:24:01.000And you kept talking about this way of funneling and nurturing talent.
00:24:08.000You're like, yeah, these are the comics that are going to come up, and we're going to invest in these local Texas comics, and then they're going to go do these shows around the world, or around the country, and we're going to send, what is it, this is the mothership, the mothership presents, and it's in all these comedy clubs around.
00:24:23.000And I thought of the club and I did both of the rooms and the rooms do separate things for committed growth.
00:26:13.000And then I went up and it was awesome.
00:26:15.000And there was an energy and there was an excitement and the room was great.
00:26:20.000And it also offered this other side of stand-up that I think a lot of people that come up in the small rooms don't necessarily develop the skill set until they're on the road, which is filling space.
00:26:32.000And it was like, you can learn to step on them.
00:27:12.000I just feel like if that goal is, which what you said yesterday, is really nurturing this talent and creating comedians that can be great comedians, you've built a space that can do that.
00:27:24.000Yeah, we built it specifically for that.
00:27:26.000So instead of making it so that there's big name headliners and you charge a lot of money for every ticket, instead of making money that way...
00:27:34.000What we decided to do is just don't think about that.
00:27:37.000Just think about what's the best place to develop comedy, and how do we develop comedy properly?
00:27:43.000Well, one, you have to have open mics two nights a week.
00:27:46.000So we have open mics Sunday and Monday.
00:27:48.000And then we also have experimental shows where, like, crowd suggestions, they write them down on a piece of paper.
00:35:14.000Like, who do I think I am to go talk in front of these people?
00:35:17.000You need a little bit of bravado to even go after it.
00:35:22.000There's so many variables and so many factors, but one of the factors is you need, like, A group of guys that are dedicated to comedy and are really getting after it, and they set the bar for everybody else.
00:35:36.000That was what was happening in Boston.
00:37:03.000I don't know if people even know the stories of him driving a fucking cab up from Philly and driving a bunch of guys up from Philly and being like, hey, you need to come up here.
00:37:11.000You need to be in New York because people are going to find out about you and you're fucking great.
00:41:52.000And he's just like, but he's observing whites at a time where whites are probably integrating with blacks way more often and then not really knowing how to do it and that awkwardness.
00:42:01.000And then you got this guy Lenny Bruce who just fucking likes this guy.
00:42:51.000Lenny was very funny, but we have to take it in the context of the times.
00:42:54.000If we were back in the Lenny Bruce days, if you and I... We're us right now, and we were sitting at our ages right now, and we were just like regular guys, and we're sitting in the back of the room in 1957, and we see Lenny go up and break down culture and society.
00:43:59.000Yeah, so it's like, back then, saying that though, on stage, when everybody else was like, two Jews walking to a bar.
00:44:06.000And Lenny was like, breaking things down.
00:44:09.000Talking about Language and the culture and music and life and the romance.
00:44:17.000That's interesting you say Twain, that you talk about Twain.
00:44:20.000And yeah, you do see it with the writers that have like a comedic twist and their ability to kind of like analyze culture but not turning it into stand-up.
00:44:32.000They would have to just learn how to deliver it, which is not the hardest part because the writing is like some of the hardest part.
00:44:37.000Yeah, but sometimes like I've noticed this with writers that they're so prolific on the page, but when they try to communicate it, it's a different art form almost.
00:45:05.000And if you're a guy who's like this awkward fellow who sits in front of a ThinkPad all day, and he's just like writing on Microsoft Word, writing very funny things...
00:46:13.000Like, it starts in our head, there's like a premise, and there's a line, or there's a statement, or there's like, now I'm thinking of that joke that we won't say that you have, and it's just like, that's just a statement, that's a feeling, you know?
00:46:25.000I was talking to my boy Mark, and I was just like, let's just riff, but don't tell me a single joke.
00:47:15.000But yeah, that's, I don't know, that's to me like, that's the beauty of like a great joke or like a great premise is the one where it's like you almost stumble into it.
00:47:35.000Yeah, but they just serve different purposes and to make a great song You got to put them all together where it flows and that's like part of what we're doing, too Yeah, it's like you're gonna have those jokes.
00:47:47.000It's like that's how you feel and then you're gonna have some jokes We take people down a left turn like whoops and what about that?
00:47:53.000Yeah, and they're like Yeah, you know like that's that's a part of it, too It's like there's a lot of stuff going on when you're doing comedy.
00:48:01.000I don't Yeah, I almost think I memorize, like people go, how do you memorize all the words?
00:48:06.000And it's like, I don't think I memorize the words, I think I memorize the song.
00:48:12.000Yeah, and like how it feels and the rhythm of it.
00:48:13.000And I think that's why like sometimes when you like adjust to different room sizes, like your rhythm can get off and you go, oh, I forgot that section.
00:48:56.000Like some punchlines you have to hang on to for a little bit.
00:48:59.000But also like facial expressions are bigger, you know, and then there's giant screens everywhere where your face is, where people can see it, and we're all together.
00:49:07.000And when you're in the round, the round is the shit.
00:50:31.000The creativity Is this fucking, you can't grab it, you don't know what it is, you don't know how it comes or how it doesn't come, but you gotta respect it.
00:50:41.000You know, that's why that, you know, War of Art book is so good.
00:52:39.000And then you have to kind of figure out who you are now.
00:52:41.000And all your new material has to be, who are you now?
00:52:44.000And if you're honest, you acknowledge who you are now.
00:52:48.000And I think some people, or some comics, they don't, and then they get into that world where they kind of almost look like they're doing an impression of themselves.
00:53:19.000And, yeah, there was so much transition.
00:53:22.000Like, I mean, I did so many bits early on about, like, chicks being annoying, and then, like, I got an amazing wife that I love, and I'm like, they ain't that annoying.
00:53:37.000Like, so I'm like, I have to be pure About what I'm going through, and that was tricky, man.
00:53:45.000It really feels good to be at a point where like, okay, now I've got some stuff that I'm excited about, that I want to talk about, and I feel hungry.
00:55:31.000You know that I'm telling you how I feel about this thing.
00:55:34.000And I think that they'll attach themselves to that.
00:55:37.000And then if I can catch you or I stumble across something...
00:55:41.000It can hit, but I need to know what I feel about it and I can't write about things I don't care like the idea of like being like a and God bless them But like the late-night writers where you just like they throw you some shit and you got a joke about it My brain doesn't work like that.
00:55:55.000That's like living off oatmeal for the rest of your life That's like, you can stay alive, Andrew.
00:56:37.000I don't think it's necessary, because some of the greats don't do it.
00:56:41.000But if I really, if I was going to teach a class on creating stand-up, I mean, look, it's not like I'm the best stand-up in the world, so I'm not like I'm the best qualified to do this.
00:56:52.000But if I was given this task to do that, I would say, You should do all those things.
00:57:01.000There's nothing that keeps you from writing.
00:57:06.000You like to think about things and talk about things, but what about sitting and talking to yourself about a thing and writing it?
00:57:15.000And there's a very specific mindset that takes place.
00:57:19.000For me, when I'm in front of the keyboard and I'm writing an essay on something, I can type so I don't have to look at the keys, which is nice.
00:57:31.000And so I can just zone in on the page and I'm thinking about every word much longer than it takes to type that word.
00:57:43.000Or rather, if I had to write something out, if you're writing out a word, it's so much more time to write it out than it is to just think about that word.
00:57:53.000So now you're chewing on it while you're writing it out.
00:57:55.000Yeah, so as you're writing each individual word, you're pausing in time.
00:58:00.000And you're in a time lapse and you get to consider each and every possible way you would say something from that word while you're writing that word.
00:58:10.000And there's a physical task of doing that with your keys and your fingers that makes you concentrate because it fires up your synapses and makes you think that you're doing this with your fingers.
00:59:29.000For me, it's not sitting down, but it's like, okay, there's a weird meditative state that I can get to if I'm running and I have a song that I know well enough where I can tap into my subconscious.
00:59:42.000But not too well where the song bores me.
01:00:41.000Something happens, and it's like, I don't know what the fuck it is, and I wish I could, like, lock in on it, you know, like, and just exist in that for three hours a day or something.
01:00:50.000But when I can, thoughts become really clear, and ideas become really clear, and sometimes they're fucking shit, and then sometimes they're, like, really interesting.
01:00:58.000And I can replay these scenarios and think of, like, Interesting comeback or like this really self-deprecating thing that happened and it's just like I'll literally hop off the treadmill sweaty as fuck dripping all over my phone write the idea and then get back on but I don't know if that's a good strategy for doing it but these are the different scenarios to access that part of the brain that I almost feel like is always working like I don't know,
01:01:20.000I always felt like comedy exists, and then you just kind of find it.
01:01:23.000I don't think I've created any comedy.
01:01:25.000I think it's there, and I just kind of like, this is stupid, but like, you know, like, what is it, the constellations.
01:01:32.000It's like the stars are there, but somebody looked at them and they're like, ooh, that kind of looks like a belt.
01:01:37.000Ooh, that kind of looks like a dipper.
01:01:45.000And you're just kind of like connecting these little dots.
01:01:47.000Well, I think the more you look at it like that, the more it becomes available to you too.
01:01:53.000Because I think one of the traps of the human mind is that when you get good at something, your ego inflates and you think it's about you and you're just a special thing and you're better than everybody.
01:02:09.000And there's a way that you could do it that nobody can fuck with.
01:02:12.000And there's a thing that's like a normal thing that people do.
01:02:16.000And I think that that invades your creative process.
01:02:21.000You create an expectation for yourself.
01:02:24.000I'll be honest, that's why I took some time away.
01:05:38.000Unless they were holding you down and making you snort it off that stripper's tits, then there's no fucking way that you could say that they did that to you, sir.
01:05:53.000Yeah, I wonder if they got to look back and they don't want to take responsibility for what they did.
01:05:59.000Well, it must be awful to, like, have had everything ripped away from you because you became a cocaine addict or because you got into heroin.
01:06:10.000Imagine just, like, you have a functional existence, everything's great, you're doing a thing, whether it's rock and roll music or whatever it is, and then all of a sudden things start going well.
01:06:20.000You're doing shows, and you just like to get high, and you're just getting high a lot, and you're just, like, doing shows, like, I need a bump before I go up.
01:06:29.000And next thing you know, you're getting high every night, and you're just wrecked, and your immune system is wrecked, and your body's wrecked, and you're always, like, implementing chemicals.
01:06:39.000It's always alcohol to sleep, and maybe Ambien, and cocaine to wake up.
01:06:45.000You're living three, four years to every one year.
01:06:49.000Every one year, you've got three or four years of damage, because you're going so hard.
01:06:55.000And then, you know, you don't want to think it was just you.
01:06:59.000And it's not just you, because it's addictive.
01:07:14.000And we want to categorize that as being a mental weakness, or we want to categorize that as being you're totally helpless, and the addiction has overwhelmed you.
01:07:24.000I suspect it's a combination of the two things.
01:07:28.000I suspect that's why there's such polarizing camps between the idea that it's not your fault at all and it's 100% your fault.
01:07:37.000And you need to fucking just be stronger.
01:07:39.000It's also the hardest thing to understand if you've never done it.
01:07:43.000Like all these people that have no empathy for the people that get caught up in addiction have just probably never tried heroin.
01:08:50.000The cadaver graft, they take a dead dude's Achilles heel, his Achilles tendon, which is much stronger and thicker than the tendon that's general, the real ACL. And they make that your ACL? Yeah, they turn that into your ACL. Interesting.
01:14:40.000I think, you know, we'll look into a lot of, like, these...
01:14:45.000Drugs that people have taken for depression and other things and maybe, who knows, in 50 years from now we'll go, wow, that had some other side effects that could be bad.
01:14:52.000Isn't it fascinating if you were objective about this and you looked at human beings?
01:15:17.000But human beings are very similar to cars.
01:15:25.000We're very similar to, if you looked at the amount of automobiles that exist, there's automobiles that are notoriously durable and reliable.
01:15:52.000Their goal, a friend of mine was just telling me this, Phil was telling me this, that their goal is to last for 30 years in a third world country.
01:16:02.000Like, don't fucking, nobody builds a car like that.
01:16:04.000And it's true, because when you see what the Taliban uses.
01:21:19.000I was telling him, like, I'm such a Cool G Rap fan because when I was driving the gigs in the 1990s, it was like really the best sound system I ever had in a car.
01:21:32.000I had like a nice sound system and it was like a Blaupunkt.
01:24:14.000If you didn't have a music video out, you're just hearing this guy's bars.
01:24:17.000And it was such a cool time in New York, where your friend could put you onto music, and there would be no way you could find out about music without your friend putting you on.
01:24:25.000If you weren't on MTV, or The Box, or whatever the hell the channel was, your buddy had to say, you need to listen to this, and then play a cassette or CD of that person.
01:24:38.000It was almost like there was more justice because there wasn't a way where you could influence people into listening to a track.
01:24:44.000Like yeah, I guess for sure like top 100 whatever on the radio, but if it wasn't on the radio, indie shit was literally I'm gonna tell you about this guy you need to hear about and then you're gonna go to Tower Records and you're gonna buy that fucking album.
01:24:56.000Well dudes would try to sell their cassettes on the streets in New York.
01:24:58.000They still do that shit and it's like fam, nobody has a CD player.
01:25:01.000You need to chill out, like step it up, like give me a link.
01:25:04.000Do they even make cars with CD players anymore?
01:25:41.000What piece of technology changed society in the way that the internet has changed us in our lifetime?
01:25:47.000I don't think there's anything that's comparable because I think everything is kind of exponential.
01:25:52.000I think everything that gets invented builds on other things that get invented.
01:25:58.000More things get invented because of it.
01:26:00.000And then it reaches this crazy point where we're at now where you have this computer program that seems to be the most intelligent being that's ever existed.
01:26:10.000It seems to be able to answer questions about anything.
01:26:13.000So then the question becomes, when does it have questions of its own?
01:27:58.000It's one of those things that's like, that's why I love the internet.
01:28:01.000That's why, I mean, we could talk about TikTok and we could talk about all these other things, but there are these amazing success stories that come from it and they make me have a positive attitude towards it.
01:29:47.000I've thought about this recently, about the importance of having a comedic North Star and a version of comedy that you think is the highest version that exists and following that.
01:29:59.000I think if you don't have that, you succumb to the will of the audience.
01:30:08.000And that can be dangerous because your confidence is dependent on them and not the version of art you think is the greatest.
01:30:19.000I just wonder, early on, did you have a guy who was like, this is the highest form of the art?
01:31:06.000But I don't necessarily think there's just one.
01:31:09.000I think it's really a community thing.
01:31:11.000And I think if you're around a bunch of guys like Attell or Shane Gillis or you or, you know, if you're around these Ari Shafirs and fucking Mark Normans.
01:31:40.000Think when comics see that like if you're say if you're a comic that's starting out and you see like the way we roll I think you'll see like if you just be true to the art just true to the thing I just yeah, I get concerned when people Because I think that a lot of times,
01:31:58.000and I'm sure this is in every industry, but comedics are drawn to what is successful, right?
01:32:03.000So they're like, okay, if interviewing people on the street is successful, I'll try that.
01:32:06.000Or if podcasting is successful, I'll try that.
01:32:08.000Or if posting clips is successful, I'll try that.
01:38:14.000Live comedy is the best way to see comedy.
01:38:17.000And just by nature of the fucking sheer numbers of people, there can't be a bubble.
01:38:22.000No, I'm not talking about bubble because I think that being funny is social currency now with having a funny caption or a funny meme or a funny post.
01:38:30.000I think people really value funny now.
01:39:09.000And then it's a community's choice in terms of like, you know, if like If you're in a group of comics and one person starts doing something that sucks, or they start doing something that really bums out the audience,
01:39:25.000or maybe they're doing a premise that's not that original.
01:39:29.000If that happens, that is a giant problem.
01:39:31.000That's like a bunch of cells encountering a virus.
01:39:45.000And occasionally, people will go crazy.
01:39:48.000This is also part of the problem of being a comedian.
01:39:52.000Like, what percentage of people stay sane from birth to death?
01:39:56.000It's not 100. It's not 100. So sometimes people go crazy and these people were amongst you before they were crazy and then they're deep in and now all of a sudden you got a fucking complete lunatic that's in your cycle of friends that thinks that the CIA is writing jokes for him.
01:40:15.000And that they're ruining his punchlines.
01:41:03.000We're just in this, like, weird time right now where, like, I think it's good because I remember the scrutiny of doing, like, edgy jokes before.
01:41:10.000And I don't feel like that exists now.
01:50:54.000We're going to get all of our cobalt from this place where we can ensure you that there's nothing there and no Chinese factory workers making 16 cents a day or whatever the fuck they make.
01:51:06.000If there was a phone that was made in America that cost twice as much, I'd buy it in a fucking heartbeat.
01:51:48.000And Apple's one of the richest fucking companies on planet Earth.
01:51:54.000I don't know what the logistics would be involved in making a phone in America with skilled labor that gets paid a fair wage and gets health insurance and union benefits and all that stuff.
01:52:06.000But whatever it is, I feel like I would like to pay that.
01:52:10.000Do we have COBOL? And if I don't have the money, I'll buy less phones.
01:52:15.000I have a fucking iPhone 11. One of my phone lines is an iPhone 11. It's great.
01:53:59.000Let the world make their own moral decisions.
01:54:02.000Maybe if we legitimately are the moral high ground, we could encourage the rest of the world to realize the same thing we were talking about earlier, about having too much money.
01:56:06.000And they're like, alright, if this is a little bit cheaper, I have a little bit more money for my family, my parents who are sick, and my kids.
01:56:12.000Like, I can buy them another fucking baseball mitt.
01:56:14.000And so they can't even consider people in the Congo.
01:56:17.000And I think that's the tricky thing where, like, they know.
01:56:21.000It's almost like the Amazon situation where it's like most people probably know that Amazon might not be the best situation for, like, mom-and-pop businesses, but it's so convenient to them and it's so much cheaper and it's so efficient that they just go, all right, well, this is great for me.
01:56:41.000It is interesting, but I think that...
01:56:44.000In those circumstances, when there's people that just can't afford to buy whatever it is, ethically sourced and organically grown, there should be other options.
01:56:56.000But if there was a clear option that someone could take...
01:58:02.000The majority of modern electric vehicles use these battery chemistries and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide, which have a cathode containing 10-20% cobalt.
01:59:20.000You know, like you're, until somebody cleans that up, the minds, until somebody actually looks at it, like every electronic thing with lithium ion batteries is connected to this horrific crime against humanity.
02:00:38.000It costs $2,000, but it's made in fucking Idaho, and you get to see the photos of the people that work in the factory, and you know that everybody's getting paid well, and everybody has health insurance.
02:02:33.000The Android phone thing is very interesting.
02:02:35.000They were joking around about it because Brian Simpson uses an Android phone and I have Android envy because my main phone is an iPhone but I have an Android phone too.
02:03:28.000Part of the narrative, I'm caught up in it and I know it's bullshit and I know it's not true and I know all the facts and I know all the pixels and all that kind of shit from the Samsung are better.
02:03:38.000And I see those videos where Samsung compares it to an iPhone and it's way better in every different version of it.
02:03:56.000Dude, that's why you've got to appreciate nerds, man.
02:03:58.000You've got to appreciate these guys who are going out there, fact-checking everything.
02:04:03.000Bro, they took a photo of a blurry photo of the moon on a screen.
02:04:09.000Okay, so first of all, Samsung was claiming that their phone can take 100x zoom pictures, and they proved it.
02:04:16.000Well, it definitely can take 100x zoom pictures, but you have to understand, like, what it's doing with that moon shot is way stronger than 100x.
02:04:27.000It's doing some shenanigans with artificial intelligence.
02:05:55.000You see the palm of my hand because it never spins.
02:05:58.000So the moon, when we see the moon, so like if you're looking out and you see the moon, you see the same moon every night because you never see a moon that's spinning.
02:07:52.000Give me the conspiracy, no facts associated whatsoever.
02:07:55.000Well, the conspiracy is that there was connections between the Nazis and the occult.
02:08:02.000And this is the thing that they always talk about, like maybe even Satanism, maybe even summoning evil entities from other dimensions and that.
02:08:11.000You know, the real conspiracy is that, like, if you think about the amount of horrific things they did, they were absolutely abhorrent, absolutely, like, contrary to what we would think of as the best values of human nature.
02:08:27.000And the whole country got behind this.
02:08:48.000You see that type of evil, you go, okay, well maybe that's associated with something.
02:08:51.000But you've got to think something happened.
02:08:56.000During that time where the world dipped into a darker dimension than it's ever experienced, at least in the lifetimes of those people that experienced that.
02:09:14.000I think it's a part of everything and maybe a part of us, which is why you can talk about the Mongols and what the fuck they did and why you talk about the Comanches.
02:09:22.000And now it took like a hundred years for people to conquer Texas.
02:09:25.000Because they just kept getting slaughtered.
02:10:06.000It kind of did, because if someone didn't come up, you know, they didn't think that was necessary in war, so they weren't even going to, like, utilize it.
02:10:13.000And then the Texas Rangers were the first people to go, I think, I see a fucking need to shoot multiple bullets.
02:10:19.000Yeah, because these guys got four hours.
02:10:21.000And rapid fire, because these guys were riding on horseback, shooting under the horse's neck.
02:10:26.000So they would dip to the side of the horse?
02:10:29.000They would hang themselves on the side.
02:10:30.000They would hold on to the side of the horse and they would shoot past the horse's neck.
02:15:38.000How much accuracy do you have when you're shooting a parabola?
02:15:45.000So you're not shooting straight like we did today, but when you're going for distance and it's just up in the air like you see in like medieval fights.
02:16:07.000Like I don't do that kind of archery, so I'm speaking a little bit out of tune.
02:16:13.000When you throw a softball, like if you throw a lot of balls or a hardball, you get accustomed to how it feels when you let that ball go and you know where that catcher's mitt's going to be.
02:17:25.000Yeah, when I pulled it back and it locked, I was like, okay, I can kind of focus on this front part a bit, but then my hand is all fucking shaky.
02:19:43.000I mean, if you're going to arm your people and you want to pay them and pay your soldiers, you want to give them fucking armor and weapons and shit, like, the more money you have, the more weapons, the more horses, the more everything.
02:19:55.000So they're just, like, going in, they're taking all the shit and then...
02:19:59.000I would imagine there's a lot of things going on.
02:20:01.000Wait, wait, that actually makes sense.
02:20:03.000If your business is, you're essentially like a pirate, like if your business is just conquest and it's stealing, you need to continue to expand the empire to continue to feed it.
02:23:30.000And what if they're up there, they're going, I don't really mind what language you speak as long as you're doing these things because I think it will help you.
02:23:38.000It's not even like a narcissism thing.
02:23:39.000It's just like, hey, if you do these things, you're probably going to live a better life and enjoy this life, this gift that I've given you.
02:24:32.000Like, why are we depicting him like that?
02:24:34.000If you just are honest about how people tell stories, if you just really just don't...
02:24:40.000Don't think about what you know to be true and what you believe and what your faith tells you.
02:24:46.000Just like what you know about human beings and stories.
02:24:50.000Every time human beings have told a story, like if you wanted to talk to someone from Oliver North's family about what happened with Rick Ross and cocaine sales in South Central Los Angeles and did they use the money to Fund the Conchas versus the Sandinistas in Nicaragua.
02:27:34.000Maybe it's not done for God, but there's a consistency there.
02:27:38.000There's something that you do that makes you feel good.
02:27:40.000Like, I feel like we've found a way to, like, a la carte the different structures that religion provided us now that we don't have religion.
02:27:46.000Yeah, I'm glad you said that about the ice pack, because I think that sometimes it is a ritual for me.
02:30:08.000It's like, at a time where we can look at our phone and be distracted and feel good whenever we want, at a time where we can get a nice, cozy feeling of distraction whenever we want, we're forcing ourselves to do things that are inconvenient.
02:31:00.000Yeah, you need to test your resilience.
02:31:02.000Think about this thing that we talked about with Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock's theory about the comet impacts from 12,000 years ago.
02:31:12.000Modern civilization, as people talk about it today, started the way we talk about it today in conventional academic circles.
02:32:11.000The evidence shows that Mesopotamia, particularly Sumer, that seems to be the oldest shit that we can find.
02:32:21.000Until these Randall Carlson, Graham Hancock type theories came along, nobody entertained the thought of the pyramids being older or the Sphinx being older.
02:32:33.000It wasn't until, like, the 1990s that people started talking about that.
02:32:37.000They've always just, like, assumed the timeline was accurate.
02:32:40.000And that timeline was, like, 6,000 years ago.
02:32:43.000Ancient Sumer, it's the first mathematics, the first written language.
02:32:49.000It's, like, a version of some of the stories from the biblical flood.
02:32:54.000You know, the Epic of Gilgamesh, which comes from the ancient Sumerian culture, very similar to Noah's Ark.
02:36:25.000You live in New York where, like, the elements aren't going to affect it that much, and, like, you can kind of check out for most things, and as long as the water's pretty good and the food...
02:36:33.000Yeah, we can be rude to one another because we can afford to be.
02:36:39.000Yeah, so it's like, culture is, like, dependent on, like, how much you need to rely on one another and, like, what the elements provide you.
02:37:56.000I think most of them are from Germany as well.
02:37:58.000Like Germany must have experienced like a level of opulence for an extended period of time where like they could just go, I'm going to be an orchestra conductor.
02:38:12.000Like think about like in human history, how long has it been where you could blow into a horn for a living?
02:38:19.000So maybe they just had that for hundreds of years and because of that they could develop all this crazy shit while everybody's basically trying to stay alive, trying to get to another season, like hoping it rains.
02:38:32.000Well there certainly has to be some sort of an effect Dual education system back a long, long time ago where they would split up theoretical and practical knowledge.
02:38:44.000The study program combines the technical knowledge with the commercial expertise and is building networks between the subjects, which can be essential for the later job world.
02:39:57.000You know, rockets were used to deliver bombs, too.
02:39:59.000Like, the rocketry program in Berlin was insane.
02:40:03.000Wernher von Braun was an absolute legitimate Nazi who was in charge of a rocket factory in Berlin where they would hang the slowest Jews in front of the rocket factory.
02:40:15.000So when people would walk through, they would realize, like, this is the penalty if you work slow.
02:40:45.0001943, the United States launched the ALOS mission, a foreign intelligence product focused on learning the extent of Germany's nuclear program.
02:40:54.000By 1944, however, the evidence was clear the Germans had not come close to developing a bomb and had only advanced to preliminary research.
02:41:38.000And every time they were met with these fucking dudes who actually knew how to fight and were sword trained and were shooting arrows at distances.
02:41:44.000And they're like, whoa, what the fuck is going on here?
02:42:04.000Japanese have always attributed their victory to storms and that wrecked the Mongols' fleets during both attempted invasions in 1274 and 1281. They concluded that Japan was protected from invasion by a divine wind,
02:42:20.000or kamikaze, which was invoked in World War II to inspire pilots to launch suicide attacks on Allied ships.
02:44:05.000Any holes in your game, any fake shit, will expose itself in one-on-one combat.
02:44:10.000I wonder if John Jones would be the modern-day version of the elite samurai.
02:44:20.000Well, I mean- Are we looking at these guys, these UFC dudes, are we like, oh, this is the modern day version of it.
02:44:27.000We just have a structure for them to operate in.
02:44:30.000It's sort of like that, but it's actually probably more satisfying to the fighter because you're a modern day version in a thing where you're not going to get killed.
02:44:46.000They have very good medical staff, but there's also that you are competing With your willpower, your technique, your knowledge, your fucking physical gifts,
02:45:02.000and you're doing it in front of the world.
02:45:05.000And the rewards, like, if you want to be Jon Jones, like, good luck.
02:48:08.000Yeah, there's no substitute for uncomfortable things.
02:48:12.000And sucking at something is uncomfortable.
02:48:14.000And the only way you get better at something is, like, realize that as good as you think you are at it, there's other levels.
02:48:22.000And that, like, if you think you can fucking hit that fastball, because, like, you just know, you're just different, like, no you don't, you don't know shit, until you actually do it.
02:48:32.000Then you strike out and you feel like a loser, right?
02:48:36.000Like, the point, like, of all these things, it's like you're chasing Some sort of adulation, excitement of excellence, but also you're killing your ego.
02:48:45.000Because your ego is the only thing that's going to fuck you up.
