It's the launch day of our new elk blood drink, Elk Blood, and we talk about how much sugar it has in it and why it's so good. We also talk about our new co-working venture with Kill Cliff and how it's going to help you lose weight and get in better shape. Also, we talk a little bit about Joe's new podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, which is on all of the social medias, if you haven't checked it out, you should definitely do so. Check it out! It's a fun, honest and unfiltered look at what it's like to be a professional athlete living in the fast-paced world of professional sports and the crazy things that go on behind the scenes in the world of sports nutrition and sports performance. We also get into some of the craziness that goes on behind-the-scenes at the NFL and other sports teams and talk about what it takes to be the best in the business and how to get the most out of your training and your time on the field and off-pitch in general.

Timestamps: 1:00 - How much sugar does it have in it? 4:15 - What does it take to be good in sports nutrition? 8:30 - How does it taste like? 9:20 - Is it better than apple juice? 11: What is your favorite thing to drink? 13:00:00 16:40 - What is the best thing to eat? 15:00 | What s your favorite sports food? 17:30 | What do you like to eat in general? 21:00 // 22:30 22:15 27:15 | What are you looking forward to? 26:30 // 27:40 29:00 / 32:00/33:00 What s the worst thing you ve ever eaten? 32:10 33:40 | What's your favorite food you ve had? 35:30 / 35:40 / 36:30/36:00 Is it good? 36:00 & 37:00 +37:00 Do you think it s good to eat something that s better than something you ve eaten in the past? 39:00 Can you eat something with sugar or carbs?
00:00:46.000We kept tweaking it, and, you know, it's just like, it's kind of the same thing that we did with the Flaming Joe.
00:00:51.000You gotta get it right, takes a long time, but those guys, whatever they're doing, whatever fucking alchemy they're doing to make this stuff so delicious.
00:02:16.000But he drinks soda, essentially, right after he works out sometimes.
00:02:22.000And I talked to a nutritionist and he said, actually, like, post-rigorous exercise like that is actually a pretty effective way of dumping glucose back in your body.
00:04:25.000I wonder if that's from so much time in the mountains.
00:04:28.000Because one of the things they say that's fucking with people's eyes is we're constantly looking at short distances.
00:04:33.000And it's sort of distorting our eyes because of that.
00:04:36.000And that's why Andrew Huberman recommends looking at great distances for, like, a good period of the day.
00:04:42.000Like, it's actually a good thing to do for your eyes.
00:04:45.000Well, you know, what I've always done still, but I used to, I've talked about it a few times, but I will run at night and I never wear a light.
00:04:53.000Like, I'll run on Pisgah, the mountain I run, and never have a headline.
00:08:45.000So I had that ham I sent you a picture of because my goal was I thought, oh, maybe we can cook this because I thought you were gonna have a Traeger here at the studio.
00:10:07.000Well, what I was going to say was, so I asked Gates, Tanner, he's a young kid, just kicking ass, does such a great job with your wild game meat.
00:10:17.000But I said, what's the process for making pepperoni?
00:10:19.000Because people are nervous about cooking and trichinosis.
00:10:22.000So they put it in like a smoker type oven and it's at 160 for an hour.
00:10:31.000165 for an hour, 155 for an hour, and then 145 for five hours.
00:11:03.000What's weird is, and this is a little known fact, when the settlers were making their way across America, they would kill bear for meat, and they would kill deer for the hides.
00:11:15.000And that was their preferred food was bear.
00:11:31.000I've got a lot of useless information bouncing around in my head.
00:11:50.000Version of what you experience when you're out there in the woods and what anybody experiences and what you know when people get rushed by bear I don't know if you've seen the video of these guys that are on a dirt bike and This guy wipes out in front of a bear's den.
00:13:48.000I'm going to pull it up right here just so I have the exact number.
00:13:51.000Just because people won't even probably believe it.
00:13:55.000But they killed, so video camera footage of these seven brown bears show that they killed approximately 238 moose and caribou calves across the 45 days.
00:14:06.000That's an average of about 34 moose and caribou calves per bear.
00:15:31.000And then the males come in, and it's breeding season, and then the boar I killed came in, and it was pretty fascinating because you wouldn't even see him.
00:15:41.000And the bear would all be looking up, the other bear, the smaller bear, the smaller boars or the sows, they'd be looking towards where he's coming, and then he'd show up.
00:15:50.000And so it was pretty cool because I remember back the day before, I saw a sow.
00:15:56.000And she was like walking and like kind of doing like this, like really hard steps.
00:16:01.000And I'm like, are they picking up vibration from the walking?
00:16:06.000And so she's trying to sound bigger like this.
00:16:09.000Because I put it together when the boar I killed, giant boar, He was coming, before they could see him, they were looking and getting startled, running up trees.
00:16:20.000And I'm like, are they feeling that vibration of a heavier animal coming?
00:17:21.000And this is a crazy idea of this animal that people have, which makes people take selfies with them and do all this crazy shit that they do at Yellowstone, those wackadoos that get in front of bison.
00:17:33.000It's like, we have these ideas about what these things are that's based on a bullshit version of them, including the Yellowstone version.
00:17:39.000When we were in Yellowstone, you could hang out 10 feet from an elk.
00:19:14.000Just like the brown bear and those, you know, those seven brown bear, they're just, they're born to kill.
00:19:19.000They don't know when to stop, you know?
00:19:21.000So it's not, I saw somebody said on my page, I said, well, wouldn't they kill and just come back and just eat off that for later and, you know, live off that one kill?
00:21:30.000I mean, they can't run like a full-grown musk ox or elk or anything else, so they're pretty much just ripe for the picking.
00:21:38.000Even black bear will follow elk around when they know it's calving season.
00:21:43.000Right when the calf is born, they'll kill it.
00:21:46.000Lund also described the kill to CNN as sport killing.
00:21:51.000Although the consensus among biologists and wildlife officials is that wolves do not hunt for sport, but sometimes kill more than they can eat at one point, especially in winter when frigid temperatures preserve the killed prey for later consumption.
00:31:24.000If he saw that rattlesnake, So I had to say, okay, I am just going to run and keep running, because the whole trail is like another mile in this direction, and then come back, and that rattled snake had to know we just ran over it.
00:32:18.000Imagine being a squirrel and being killed by the most lovely-looking creature you could imagine.
00:32:22.000I think didn't see here's here's why I was nervous coming on because that reminded me of Theo Vaughn said something about like Suzanne Somers that's got that guy guys I think like a golden retriever running like with flowing hair hair was like that yeah so then that yeah that got you guys on the thigh master but anyway so yeah like Marshall Suzanne Somers running towards you is what I envision Yeah,
00:32:45.000but trying to eat you out of your shell.
00:35:09.000I know amazing grace, but I ain't been living them words.
00:35:15.000Swear I spend more Sundays drunk off my ass than I have in church Hardcover King James Only been saving dust on the nightstand And I don't know what to say By the time I fold my hands I only talk to God when I need a favor God
00:38:31.000They say my lifestyle is bad for my health It's the only thing that seems to help All of this drinking and smoking is hopeless But feel like it's all that I need Something inside of me is broken.
00:39:01.000I hold on to anything that sets me free.
00:39:52.000I think that's the beautiful thing about a great songwriter and a great singer.
00:39:57.000There's something about someone who writes their own songs, too.
00:40:00.000There's something about when you're trusting them with your thoughts.
00:40:07.000It's like you're riding along on the song, on the lyrics, on the music, and you're thinking with them.
00:40:15.000I think when you watch something that's very entertaining, one of the things that happens is you give in to it, where you're letting it create experiences.
00:40:25.000You're letting it interact with your mind.
00:40:29.000And I think someone has a song that has just that real pain that's coming through it.
00:40:35.000There's something about the way that interacts with your mind.
00:40:38.000It's like this weird communal thing that happens to people that are listening to it.
00:40:42.000That's why people love to go to a concert and everyone sing along to the same song together.
00:43:40.000What I was going to say was, I listened to me, and I don't know if because maybe I'm tortured in some weird way, but I put myself and I'm like, maybe I can identify with this.
00:43:52.000I feel like a lost cause, especially when I was growing up, I felt like a lost cause.
00:48:11.000A bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day If you listen to the wind, you can stay So for every young kid that I grew up with,
00:48:31.000the romantic notion of dying young as a rock star that everyone's gonna miss for some stupid reason.
00:49:45.000Something's going on with Madonna if that picture is accurate that is like what that is is like the same thing that leads to anorexia The same thing leads to bodybuilders to get just right massive.
00:49:56.000Yeah, it's dysmorphia Yeah, she's it happens to I think there's a certain percentage of people that get those fillers in their face that it happens to you start like fucking with the shape of your face and It looks crazy.
00:51:00.000Like, if you have a thick face, if you have, like, thick skin, you have, like, Italian lips and, you know, an Italian nose and big thick lips, it looks like it belongs in your face.
00:53:28.000Yeah, some people are being, you know, like, there's people that cut a shitload of weight, you know, but some people are being pretty smart about it.
00:53:40.000They really get down to about five pounds.
00:56:40.000Because I do not believe he missed weight.
00:56:41.000I know he fought Gerald Mearshart at 185 pounds, and he knocked him out in one round.
00:56:48.000He fought Kevin Holland at a catch weight of 180. And the other fights, I believe he made 170. Maybe he had one other fight, 185. I think maybe it was his first fight in the UFC. Might have been 185. Oh, he fought that...
00:58:48.000Yeah, he fucked up his shoulder early in the fight.
00:58:50.000So it's like, he's such a dog, he wants to compete.
00:58:53.000I almost feel like they should have stopped the fight.
00:58:56.000I think when a fighter literally can't use his arm like that, and you're fighting a guy who's as dangerous as Bilal, you're gonna take shots you shouldn't take.
00:59:06.000You run the real risk of getting extra hurt, and you could hurt that arm even further to the point where it's not repairable through surgery.
00:59:13.000I think at a certain point in time, if you literally can't use your arm to throw punches, you probably shouldn't be fighting.
00:59:19.000And it's a hard pill to swallow, but you're probably going to lose anyway because he was so diminished.
01:04:10.00046. 46. 46. 46 years old and fucking ragdolling people and still built like a Greek god.
01:04:17.000I love training with the fighters just because I'm a big fan, obviously, but their mentality is like my goal to train with people is- Look at him.
01:10:21.000This is like top of the food chain striking.
01:10:24.000And if he can keep getting better the way he got better for this fight, that's like world championship caliber fighting.
01:10:30.000The inside of that quad there on his right leg.
01:10:33.000Or both, inside and out, it looks like.
01:10:35.000I think for Khalil and a lot of these guys, it's very hard to maintain the kind of focus that requires you to fight at this elite level every time.
01:16:08.000But I feel like, why not just give him that fight?
01:16:13.000Like, why are you making him fight Drekus?
01:16:15.000And if you are making him fight Drekus, if he beats Drekus, then Drekus has to build himself back up to get to a place where you get this big money fight with Izzy.
01:16:54.000It's not a smart move, but I'm not here to be smart.
01:16:57.000Otherwise, I would have stayed in school and finished my studies, gone to work at a bank, wear a suit to work every day and do some corporate life.
01:19:35.000Because the other thing is, if he beat Izzy twice in a row, there wouldn't be a third match, so Whitaker would automatically kind of be a shoe-in for the next title shot.
01:26:36.000It's like, but having the proper footwear as a runner has to be, like, when you think about the amount of miles that you run, like, you run an insane amount of miles.
01:26:46.000Like, what on a regular week would you run when you're not prepping for, like, some ultramarathon?
01:29:46.000When I first started, when CBDMD became a sponsor a long time ago, they sent me a bunch, and I started taking their gummies every day, and I was like, why do I feel so good?
01:31:38.000Bouncing around, I hadn't felt that good and whatever, but it was the carbs that caused that inflammation.
01:31:42.000I know it's crazy to think, but I think that's true.
01:31:45.000I've been doing the carnivore diet now pretty disciplined, except last night I had a couple of corn chips because my family got Mexican food and I was just eating the steak, like some carne asada, and there were some corn chips there and I fucking cheated.
01:34:40.000Which is kind of crazy because James Cameron is like, is he the...
01:34:45.000Highest-selling producer of all time might be he's up there Steven Spielberg the Titanic mm-hmm Avatar yeah aliens, right?
01:34:56.000I mean How many fucking movies has that guy made that are just blockbusters and I think that he Learned how to do it find out if that's true number two right behind Spielberg right number two behind Spielberg And you know have you ever seen that Tanner has a t-shirt and it says great artists steel and Oh,
01:35:56.000Guy Ritchie was one of Branlon's biggest inspiration.
01:36:00.000He would sit in this little apartment and watch this, and then try to, when he was doing Jim Shockey, Hunting Adventures, things, he would try to mimic stuff like that.
01:36:07.000Then, like, when he filmed, you know, the grizzly hunt that we did, he just was, like, using all these different influences, and it was just mimicking the styles.
01:36:19.000Right, so what does the classical schooling do when you can just watch this and try to mimic it and then try to use your inspiration or influence on whatever you're creating?
01:37:20.000So you've implemented that strategy a little bit.
01:37:23.000You'd see somebody you think is funny, you like their style, then you put your twist on it.
01:37:28.000Well, what happens is, first of all, there's one thing that happens when you're around people that are really good, is that you have to bring your material up to their level.
01:37:39.000It's one of the things that I really like about this scene that we're developing here in Austin is that there's so many good comics here on a regular basis.
01:37:47.000On a regular basis, you're going to see Bryan Simpson, Shane Gillis, Tony Hinchcliffe, you're going to see Fucking Mark Norman, Ari Shaffir, you're gonna see Joey Diaz.
01:37:57.000You're gonna see these people that are coming through.
01:39:08.000There's the kind of clubs where you travel, and you go on the road, and you go there, like the Denver Comedy Works, one of the best clubs in the world, or Nashville's, or Zany's, rather, in Nashville, which is one of the best in the world.
01:39:49.000And they fall into this sort of trap of maintaining a level, but not getting better.
01:39:57.000But the people that are forced into places like the cellar, In New York City, or the Comedy Store in LA, or now the Mothership in Austin, they're doing sets where they're following Dave Attell, they're following Chris DiStefano, they're following Theo Vaughn,
01:40:50.000And we framed it and I was heavily influenced by Rodney in a lot of ways.
01:40:55.000But one way, he had this I don't give a fuck Attitude that was it was like everybody else was pretending But he really didn't give a fuck in his last days Rodney would go on stage with a bathrobe on naked So he was naked with slippers and a bathrobe and stand in front of a fucking arena and crush And I was there for that when I was a kid I was working at man at Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts in Mansfield And
01:42:51.000So if you saw the Rodney Dangerfield Young Comedian special, and then you saw that Robert Schimmel was going to be in your town soon, like holy shit.
01:42:59.000And it was like the best thing that ever happened to these comics, these up-and-coming comics.
01:43:05.000Because some of them were like, they were too dirty for The Tonight Show.
01:43:09.000They couldn't do the MTV half-hour comedy hour.
01:43:12.000They wouldn't give you the full thing.
01:43:13.000You're not going to get full Dice Clay from the half-hour comedy hour.
01:43:17.000You need to see him at the Rodney Dangerfield special.
01:43:19.000And so he just launched everyone from that.
01:43:22.000And I was always like, I need to do one of those.
01:43:25.000I need to do like a Rodney Dangerfield kind of special.
01:43:59.000But then the club has been an ancillary product of that too, where it's even helping even more, because then you can have these guys in here, right?
01:44:27.000They've got Kill Tony where every Monday night, guys like David Lucas and William Montgomery and Hans Kim, they're doing one new minute every week.
01:44:35.000So there's this fucking buzz of energy in that place.
01:45:36.000It would be good if there was a way that they could learn where there was like real courses and all the aspects of hunting.
01:45:44.000Because I was very fortunate to become friends with you and to become friends with Rinella.
01:45:50.000Guys like Ryan Callahan and Adam Greentree, people that I could call and ask questions to, people I could talk to, people that you could steer me in a certain direction, like, hey, what do you think about this?
01:46:01.000Like, hey, what happens when this happens?
01:46:44.000It's not like the same kind of camaraderie thing.
01:46:47.000We were talking about people talking shit and this happens in all forms of I guess you would call this entertainment in some sort of a weird way because Social media stars that are bow hunters and television stars that are bow hunters They are kind of entertainers in a strange way.
01:47:19.000There's 80 people like this, but 160 like that.
01:47:23.000And 1,000 people like this guy, but 5,000 people like that guy.
01:47:26.000And then the guy that only has 80 doesn't like the guy who has 160. And the guy who runs 5 miles is mad the guy who runs 15. It can be pretty toxic.
01:47:35.000Yeah, but that's with everything, man.
01:51:11.000A lot of times when people are hating on someone who's truly an exceptional person, if all you're getting out of the experience of that person is negative, that's not balanced.
01:51:31.000You're looking at it in a way Where you're trying to find negative, you're focusing on the negative, you're not looking at like the overall top-down picture of the positive things.
01:51:43.000Because you spread so much positivity.
01:51:47.000You're all about hard work, you're all about discipline, and you're all about this passion that you have for bow hunting.
01:51:59.000There's one thought that I kind of understand where they're coming from.
01:52:01.000And this thought is that putting all of this out on social media, you're kind of cheapening this experience that is so pure and so difficult to acquire and in a way kind of sacred.
01:52:45.000I think if you just look at the overall person, what does the actual person stand for?
01:52:49.000And what is the net positive effect of them posting about all this stuff?
01:52:54.000The net positive effect is inspiration.
01:52:57.000And this is one thing that a lot of people have a hard time with.
01:52:59.000They don't like the fact that you're inspiring and I'm inspiring more people to do this.
01:53:04.000And they think that these people are going to have realistic expectations based on the availability that you have to hunt and I have to hunt and they have to hunt on public land.
01:53:19.000So if I can't talk about my experience because I'm gonna have a distorted version of this thing, because it's the best version of this thing, that means I shouldn't show you my cars either.
01:53:31.000That means I shouldn't show you my comedy club.
01:53:34.000Like, yeah, a lot of my life doesn't make any sense, including the places I get to hunt and the people I get to hunt with.
01:54:13.000But when you say that you were poor, I was poor, and we've achieved this thing, right?
01:54:19.000What I've noticed with doing every person I've had on here, probably every person you've had on my podcast and every person you've had, is what is common about those guests is they have a passion for something and they've used it for a positive endeavor.
01:54:58.000I think the criticism that people have when it comes to social media hunting and the validity of it is that you're turning it into the same thing as, you know, posing in front of, you know, famous places for likes.
01:55:16.000You're kind of bastardizing it, the commercializing of it.
01:55:40.000Even if it's harder to do and you have to go further and go to different places, I think that adjustment is probably better than the adjustment of somehow or another people that don't know what this thing is voting on it and making it illegal.
01:55:53.000Because that's not outside the realm of possibility.
01:57:14.000So you're going to be able to find places to hunt.
01:57:16.000Montana, you know, that's where Steve's brother's from and that's where his, you know, he's very protective of Montana and talks about how there's not enough public land, it's being bought up by these, what do they call it?
01:57:32.000The Hunt Trust, I think, or Land Trust.
01:58:55.000Right, but if it starts to creep in on that, if the private land starts to creep in on the public land, like if, say, let's just say, I don't even know if this is legal, but let's say a state is horribly in debt, and they have an offer to sell off a chunk of private land.
01:59:40.000Well, some of it was landlocked public land because there's public land, but you couldn't get to it.
01:59:45.000And then there was a few million acres that were somehow into that where the public didn't have access to it because it was an argument between if the states manage it,
02:00:13.000And it gets into the whole argument on timber management.
02:00:17.000They won't go in and harvest timber because they're worried about politics, because they won't harvest timber.
02:00:24.000The fires burn hotter and are more devastating, like in California.
02:00:32.000Politics, basically, the liberals throwing a fit about getting in there and managing the timber and doing selective cuts and things like that and cleaning up, which turns into fuel for wildfires, that they don't do any of it.
02:00:45.000And that's what makes the fires burn hotter.
02:03:36.000People took photos from New York City.
02:03:38.000My daughter told me today, she found on TikTok, because that's where they learn everything, that breathing the outside air in New York City is like smoking a half a pack of cigarettes a day.
02:09:46.000We hope for a president that has the character, And the moral foundation and the intellect to realize a better way of managing this and also a way of uniting people and getting this divide that happened during this country.
02:10:04.000It was, first of all, it was Trump supporters.
02:10:13.000And then it was vaccinated people against unvaccinated people.
02:10:17.000This crazy divide where you saw people that are just so scared of this virus that they were willing to cast aside their humanity and call people that were skeptical of the vaccine, call them like, call them plague rats.
02:10:42.000But so he put up a video the other day, and it's like this compilation of this message that mainstream media had about COVID. Oh yeah, no one's safe.
02:11:27.000And so that's why you have to be very careful about giving up any powers to the government during an emergency because they'll capitalize on that.
02:11:50.000Yeah, it's just you don't give people power Don't give people power to do things they couldn't do before because they're gonna keep it and they're gonna expand And if you don't fucking hold the line and you think it's a good thing to give in because we all have to be safe like oh my god If you've got to be safe,
02:12:05.000then just tell people about it, and the smart people will take it, if it's really safe.
02:12:09.000But if you make them take it, then you can make them do things.
02:12:12.000If you make them do things, and if they don't want to do things, then you get to do things to them.
02:12:16.000You get to take away their money, take away their job, take away their ability to travel.
02:12:53.000And they don't have to debate it openly.
02:12:56.000They don't have to have a consensus amongst all the intellectuals where they can do it anonymously, where they don't have any fear of repercussions of their career, which is a lot of people during this whole thing.
02:13:08.000They didn't want to speak out about any of it.
02:13:10.000And the people that did got attacked and they got attacked directly by the government.
02:13:14.000There's like real clear organization involved in going after certain scientists that had a specific narrative.
02:13:21.000Certain scientists that weren't toeing the line.
02:13:49.000While the emergency phase of the COVID-19 pandemic is now over, investments in digital infrastructure remain an important resource for health systems and for economies and societies at large.
02:14:05.000Like many countries, the European Union made significant investments in COVID-19 certificates to help people move around as safely as possible during the pandemic.
02:14:17.000The European Union's certification system was used by all 27 EU member states and more than 50 other countries.
02:14:27.000Building on the success of the EU system, WHO is proud today to launch the Global Digital Health Certification Network Thank you so much to European Union for the excellent certification system that you have.
02:14:53.000I mean, maybe it saved lives in the beginning.
02:14:55.000But we read this study about from the Cleveland Clinic the other day that was saying that overall in the Cleveland Clinic from the health workers, when they did a survey of them, the ones who got vaccinated the most got COVID the most.
02:15:09.000So it's not even like it just stops it dead in its tracks like they were saying in the beginning of the pandemic.
02:15:13.000And yet they're still trying to implement this digital system where you have to take this medicine that they've showed didn't work that good.
02:15:29.000It reminds me of Biden getting on there right now.
02:15:32.000He's making posts every day about how successful they've been and the most jobs in the history of the presidency of the United States and economy is coming back better.
02:16:53.000No one who's in these mainstream news organizations is looking over these numbers and saying, do you have to be concerned if you've had a vaccine injury?
02:17:37.000If it's a small amount of people that have side effects, okay, great.
02:17:40.000But there's never been a time ever in our country where this was mandated on adults, where adults were told that they had to take a very specific medication in order to do things like go to work.
02:17:52.000That's crazy, especially an experimental one with no long-term data.
02:18:05.000Well, it was also watching the machine come after people who didn't take it and come after people like me who didn't take and got better quick.
02:19:55.000They're trying to discredit people that they think are a threat.
02:19:58.000And they have a very specific narrative in the White House.
02:20:01.000I mean, you see how that Peter Doocy guy gets into it with the White House press secretary all the time about illegal immigrants and about All the different things that are happening in the border and what is Biden doing?
02:21:20.000You need to be taking vitamin D. Everyone should supplement with vitamin D. The White House has ordered the increase in production of vitamin D and the distribution in areas all across the country.
02:21:51.000We give this much money to the campaign.
02:21:53.000If someone came on television, like an Obama or someone who's a person that people trust and said, Ladies and gentlemen, if you're listening to me and you got a donut in your hand, put it down.
02:22:48.000If you want to release a medication, you have to have access to the actual data, not the data as interpreted by the scientists that have made it.
02:22:57.000And that's one of the things that we learned about the whole process of peer review when it comes to a lot of these pharmaceutical drugs.
02:23:03.000That's how they sneak them in because they make a whole bunch of studies.
02:23:43.000We actually sent them off to third party.
02:23:45.000We had to do that because we found out early on when we were making AlphaBrain that when we would make our supplements, whether it was AlphaBrain or Shroom Tech Sport, I forget which one it was, but we had sent it out and then we did a third-party study.
02:24:01.000We found vitamins that were in there that weren't in the original formula.
02:25:44.000And so when I see Pure Encapsulations that sells whatever various supplements, I tend to lean towards buying them because I know it's a really great brand.
02:25:54.000But you can buy some shady shit that's made somewhere that has like half the efficacy.
02:25:59.000Like I know some guys who did some third-party tests on some supplements and they found it was like 25% what it was supposed to be in terms of dosage and 25% active ingredients.
02:26:25.000But if you go to USADA's website, when they show for the athletes, they have a list of supplements that you should avoid, because they've been determined to have illegal substances.
02:26:53.000Just like we wanted to do it for AlphaBrain.
02:26:55.000But the problem is if they wanted to do it and they have all this money invested in it and it turns out that that thing is not as effective as they've been advertising, what do they do now?
02:27:03.000Well, what we think they do is they fund studies that make it look like it's more effective than it is, or they gear the study to make it look like it's more effective than it is in a very particular way, and then they release that.
02:27:16.000And then they come up with justification, and that's what they did with Vioxx.
02:28:36.000Yeah, they might come after us if that's true.
02:28:40.000It's nerve-wracking, man, because the people that have that kind of money and that kind of power, they want to maintain that position and they want to maintain that influence over people.
02:28:47.000And the best way to maintain it is to like tighten down on what people are allowed to do, where they have to comply.
02:28:52.000I mean, the CEO of Pfizer, there was a famous speech where he's giving, where he's talking about a pill that you would have to take that sends off a signal to show that you've taken it.
02:29:43.000It says, the video discussing ingestible pills with sensors has gone viral, falsely presented as an interview from 2022, and edited to cut out important context.
02:29:52.000One Twitter user shared the clip on May 20 here, commenting, Pfizer CEO Albert Borla explains Pfizer's new tech to Davos Crowd, ingestible pills, a pill with a tiny chip to send a wireless signal to relevant authorities when the pharmaceutical has been digested.
02:30:28.000In response to a question from the audience, ideas to engage patient, he calls the research and field fascinating.
02:30:34.000He says that there's already a pill approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
02:30:37.000He moves on to describe this pill, and where the clip version seen on social media begins, and he later concludes, but of course, there will be an initial cost, and someone needs to invest.
02:30:46.000Borler was not talking about a Pfizer drug or technology.
02:30:49.000Rather, he was describing, Abilify MySite, a drug with a digital ingestion traction system, right?
02:30:58.000Okay, for the treatment of schizophrenia, acute treatment of manic and mixed episodes associated with bipolar 1 disorder, and for use as an add-on treatment for depression in adults.
02:31:08.000So he was talking about a different pill, but he was talking about a pill with a sensor.
02:31:38.000So it basically is a biological chip that is in the tablet, and once you take the tablet and it dissolves into your stomach, it sends a signal that you took the tablet.
02:32:07.000It is basically a biological chip that is in the tablet, and once you take the tablet and dissolves into your stomach, it sends a signal that you took the tablet.
02:32:19.000So imagine the applications of that, compliance.
02:32:23.000The insurance companies to know that the medicines that patients should take, they do take them.
02:32:28.000It is fascinating what happens in this field.
02:32:33.000That doesn't comfort me, if that's what you really said.
02:33:45.000So this is a really special coming at this time.
02:33:48.000Al Pacino, 83, breaks silence to celebrate 29-year-old girlfriend's pregnancy after claims he demanded paternity tests because she hoodwinked him.
02:33:55.000The actor revealed he and his girlfriend, Noor Al Fowler, were expecting last week.
02:34:01.000Initial reports claim that Al was not pleased over the news.
02:34:05.000Sources told Daily Mail that wasn't true.
02:34:12.000Right, but that's in little tiny letters below the big headline that says, break silence to celebrate 29-year-old girlfriend's pregnancy after claims that he demanded paternity tests because she hoodwinked him.
02:35:22.000When Brody was off his medication, there was a moment when Brody was around the store when he was off his medication and people were trying to get him back on it.
02:35:31.000He was really struggling, and I've seen it.
02:35:34.000So if you had a situation like that where you can ensure that Brody was taking his medication, maybe Brody would still be with us.
02:35:46.000And maybe you should just try to get someone to be with him and make sure he takes his medication rather than forcing a new technology down the throats of everyone for a very small percentage of people that absolutely have to take medication or they go crazy.
02:35:59.000Because most people don't have to do that.
02:36:01.000So to have that kind of tech available, that freaks me out.
02:36:06.000And especially if you fall into this idea that they're prepared for something like this happening, because if it did, they had sort of an idea of how to implement this sort of a system.
02:36:19.000And one of the best ways to implement this sort of a system would be some sort of a pandemic where you have new authorizations, new rules, new abilities to tell people to shut the fuck up and stay in your house.
02:36:29.000So the fact that that was 2018 doesn't mean...
02:36:32.000They were probably talking about this pandemic back there.
02:36:34.000Well, they're definitely talking about a potential for a pandemic.
02:37:04.000Yeah, I want him to sort all this stuff out because I want to find out what's going on with Fox News, but I'd be interested in talking to him.
02:38:42.000If I had to guess, I had to guess someone that was one of their sponsors or someone that owns a piece was very upset with his positions, that he was taking some very controversial positions about a lot of things, including the intelligence agencies.
02:38:56.000The fucking guy out and out said CIA killed Kennedy on Fox News.
02:39:20.000But Rinella loved having him on the show.
02:39:23.000People that were ideologically opposed to him, who worked with Rinella, when they did the media, they're like, fuck, I hate to say it, I really like the guy.
02:40:53.000And now they don't want to do that anymore.
02:40:54.000They don't even want to have debates, which seems insane.
02:40:57.000It seems insane that we tolerate that, that they just want to hold on to the position like, nope, we're not going to have any sort of primary debates.
02:41:05.000Isn't that a part of what we've always done?
02:41:07.000Shouldn't you watch ideas battle it out against the other ideas?
02:41:11.000Shouldn't you see how someone stands up to the pressure of these national discussions about very important issues that are affecting us all?
02:41:18.000I want to know how people weather that storm.
02:41:29.000And if they're in cahoots where the media is only putting out a negative version of this one person and you got people like Hillary Clinton that are saying that Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset and crazy talk.
02:41:42.000But all that stuff, if that's what gets out and then you don't let that person talk and you won't let that person debate, And that's what happened with Tulsi after the whole thing with Kamala Harris.
02:42:30.000If you're, you know, if you're on this side, like, she's demonized and you hear people talk about her at parties and you hear people talk about her at places.
02:42:56.000A person who served overseas in a medical unit twice and developed that white streak in her hair while she was there just from the stress of treating fallen soldiers.
02:43:09.000It's fucked up, and it's this weird world that we live in.
02:43:14.000I think things go in cycles, and I think part of the cycle is the recognition of how fucked up things are now, where new people have to come along that aren't fucked up.
02:43:23.000And that these people then get the will of the people behind them, and if there's enough power, and there's enough influence, and there's enough votes, there's enough people that just overwhelmingly believe things, then the powers that be have to play ball with this new person.
02:43:37.000And hopefully they don't kill that guy like they killed his uncle and killed his brother.
02:44:30.000The fact that she volunteers to do that gave up, you know, she had a political seat, I think, at that time, even in Hawaii, and to go serve and then face like what our troops face over there fighting for a greater purpose and seeing that as today the day.
02:44:47.000It's like that's the type of person I think should be in politics.
02:44:53.000Yeah, that or a person who really doesn't want the job.
02:44:56.000Some fucking Elon Musk type character.
02:44:59.000Someone who's just very smart, who's like enough is enough.
02:46:56.000History's riddled with accounts of people doing horrific things.
02:47:00.000You know, we went back to the story of the Mongols earlier.
02:47:05.000There's a story of this guy who is the Khwarizmian Shah, and it's in the Dan Carlin Hardcore History series of the Wrath of the Khan.
02:47:18.000Where they're going to Jin China and along the way they have to abandon their convoy because the roads are so destroyed that they can't travel on them because they're so thick with human bodies that have decayed that the roads are all mud.
02:47:35.000And they see what they thought in the distance was a snow-covered peak and as they get closer they realize it's a pile of bones.
02:48:01.000History is filled with stories of people invading countries, of war breaking out, of horrific death and destruction.
02:48:09.000The idea that you can just push Push, push aggressively against this and there's not going to be some sort of global repercussion.
02:48:17.000You know what sets America apart is we have a lot of people, like there's a Native American story that this village was being attacked and the men drove stakes into the ground, tied themselves to the stakes, let the women and children take off,
02:48:35.000and would stand there and fight till they died because they were tied there.
02:48:38.000We have men that'll Similarly, do that.
02:48:43.000We'll fight to the end to do what's right.
02:48:46.000So, yeah, we can get pushed or we can push other people, but there's still There's still people out there who will fight to the death for what they believe in.
02:49:24.000But no one is looking at that as a potential cause.
02:49:29.000They're looking at it as, you know, not causation, but maybe correlation because they're crazy in the first place, which is why they're taking medication.
02:49:37.000Not that the medication allowed them to do something horrific.
02:49:44.000It's this weird thing where people are like doing the work for the companies.
02:49:48.000They don't want to believe they got duped, so they'll argue in favor of these gigantic pharmaceutical drug companies that don't give a fuck about them.
02:50:07.000Like, it's a bizarre way of looking at things that people have.
02:50:11.000And it's very difficult for people to look at it objectively and to really step back and take a good look at it like, wow, this is not optimal by any stretch of the imagination.
02:50:19.000Like, these people that are running things are full of shit.
02:53:14.000Well, people do say that when you eat meat, like a lot of people that get on the Carnivore Dyer, one of the things they say is it feels like it ramps up your aggression.
02:53:54.000Like, if you think about, like, vegans, you think of, like, other than being hysterical, which is probably, like, they're not getting the proper vitamins, not getting B12, there's a lot of shit going wrong, not getting enough cholesterol, a lot of shit.
02:54:04.000But other than that, it's like you would imagine, like, a calm or peaceful type person because they're just eating fucking squash.
02:54:12.000But I think if you eat things that are difficult to acquire, like elk and deer and bear, I think in particular if you eat predators, it just makes sense that you're consuming some of the essence of what that thing is.
02:54:27.000And there's so much protein in these wild animals.
02:54:32.000But it's also because they're so much leaner.
02:54:34.000That's the thing with certified Piedmontese.
02:57:40.000Like what we think of when we think of public land today, high pressure areas, lots of hunters, elk that are scared to bugle, they're going to diminish populations, a lot of trucks on the trailhead.
02:57:54.000Imagine zero, just wolves and bears and mountain lions and deer and elk and antelope and just everywhere.
02:58:03.000No cities, no use of resources by human beings, so everything is just in its natural state.
02:58:11.000So anytime there's a place like this area right here where there's a lot of water, that's why there's so many fucking arrowheads here.
02:58:19.000An article I just read was saying that when they started selling the teddy bear to represent Teddy Roosevelt is when people stopped eating them because they were so cute.
02:59:06.000It's funny, you mentioned the arrowhead.
02:59:08.000I was running the other day, the day that those shoes came out for pre-order, but I was running and I was like, look down where I run almost every day in arrowhead.
03:03:25.000Yeah, they have their own opinion on things, and they don't think that people are doing it the right way, and they have a very ethical stance on things.
03:04:41.000Bart Shiler got eaten by a grizzly when he was moose hunting, but he would make his own bow, Flint out his own arrowheads and kill animals.
03:06:55.000That's the Joseph Campbell character, the hero's journey, the exceptional one that everybody admires.
03:07:03.000That's what everybody wants in some strange way.
03:07:05.000And even if it's just for yourself, even if you're just one person, just prove to yourself that you're doing something that no one else is doing.
03:07:12.000There's always these people that do things like that, whether it's David Goggins or you or Alex Honnold who's climbing mountains with no fucking ropes.
03:07:21.000There's always these people that are out there pushing the envelope of what's possible.
03:07:27.000And there's a great value in those people.
03:07:30.000That's why when someone talks shit about you, I'm like, it's so stupid.
03:08:30.000And I realized it's dangerous because it keeps you from progressing.
03:08:33.000Because it puts your energy in a very stupid place that doesn't serve you any purpose at all.
03:08:37.000It doesn't help you at all to be upset that someone else is successful, but that same success can inspire you instead.
03:08:44.000If you can get past your initial reactions and your idea, this inclination to be jealous, if you can manage that in your head, if you can conquer that in some way, even if it's like a struggle every day, but if you can get past that and just admire what that person's doing,
03:09:03.000And it will inspire you and it will actually provide you with positive energy as opposed to just this bitterness that so many people have where they just want to sit around and bitch and complain.
03:09:14.000Nothing drives me crazier than a fat guy with a beer in his hand who's talking shit.
03:09:21.000You know, especially one that I know hasn't done anything.
03:09:24.000It's just like, I know what you're doing, man.
03:11:13.000You just need to get moving and then you believe in yourself.
03:11:17.000It's like it's hard to do new things when you've been doing this one, you have this one job for decades and then all of a sudden you're just gonna get rid of it and you have responsibilities and a family and there's a lot involved.
03:11:27.000But you were at an escape velocity where not only was that possible, it was actually holding you back by not using those resources that you have for that entire day for yourself.
03:11:38.000And you were making way more money outside of work than you were making from work.
03:11:41.000That's the time when you're supposed to jet.
03:13:24.000It's a great opportunity to be around people that are so exceptional that just showing other people them would change their life, because they are exceptional.
03:13:34.000You can't change someone's lives if they're mediocre.
03:13:42.000But when someone comes along like yourself that is a very unusual and very exceptional person, I think it's important that the world knows that there's people like that out there.
03:13:58.000They need to stop bullshitting themselves.
03:14:00.000They need to know that there is a guy that was working eight hours a day that was running 13 miles a day and then lifting at night and then bow hunting and practicing.
03:14:07.000And was the number one bow hunter on the planet.
03:14:09.000That doesn't even make any sense, but they need to know that.
