On this episode of the podcast, the boys are joined by their good friend and former co-worker, comedian, and friend of the show, John Rocha. They talk about his new HBO special, the current state of the internet, and why they think the government should regulate the internet. They also talk about why they don t trust the government and what they would like to see the government do to the internet in order to make sure it doesn t become too much of a place for people to get their information. They also discuss how the internet is becoming more and more controlled by the government, and how they think it s time for the government to get a grip on the internet and make sure that it s not becoming too much like the rest of the world. And they also discuss why they believe that the internet should be regulated and why we should not be allowed to talk about anything other than the things we already do on it. The boys also discuss their favorite conspiracy theories about the government. and why the government is bad and why you should not trust them. They finish the episode by talking about how the government doesn t have a clue about what s going on in the world and why it s bad and what we should do about it and how we should stop trusting the government in the first place.

00:02:47.000Our YouTube channel was terminated in less than 24 hours.
00:02:49.000No warnings, explanations, or strikes after we posted a video highlighting published science, black box warnings, and known adverse reactions of antidepressants for youth.
00:04:21.000Well, I think they just sold a narrative.
00:04:25.000I think they get sold a narrative and they think anti-government is bad so that they're pro-government.
00:04:32.000I've had some maddening discussions with intelligent people that I respect where they're saying the government should regulate the internet.
00:04:39.000I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:04:41.000The same people that are engaging in insider trading?
00:06:07.000Well, the thing about Carter is, if you listen to Carter talk, and this goes back to Rolling Stone magazine, because Hunter S. Thompson went to Jimmy Carter's campaign speech, and it was so moving to him that he actually went out to his car and got his tape recorder and brought it back in and started listening and recording it.
00:06:30.000And I think, I don't think any president I mean, there's a reason why the government is set up the way it's set up.
00:06:38.000It's set up so the president can never become a tyrant.
00:06:41.000So the president can't make his own laws.
00:06:43.000This is how the government is divided.
00:06:46.000This is the concept behind the beginning of the country.
00:06:51.000I think even if you're a good person, you're in a bad job.
00:06:54.000You're in a bad job with a bad machine and that machine wants to make money and if it's making money by selling people drugs or it's making money by going to war, it's making money by fucking finagling the economy in some bizarre way.
00:07:07.000Anytime there's something to gain on the other end without public knowledge, it's gonna be a problem.
00:09:39.000It's like a longevity of, hey, this is all the same line of things.
00:09:45.000And it transcends to the next generation.
00:09:49.000But then it's these things that The prophecy stopped at some point, and then it's like people can claim themselves to be prophets with none of the other attachments.
00:10:02.000Like all the other prophets got the same thing.
00:10:05.000Some spoke to them at night, and they have some power at that particular time.
00:11:10.000See, the thing about Noah and the art, though, if you go back to that, that story is very similar to a story that's in the Epic of Gilgamesh.
00:11:17.000And most likely what that story is about, the Great Flood seems to very much be real.
00:11:32.000He's an expert in asteroid collisions.
00:11:35.000And this time in history where after this time there's all these stories of floods, it aligns directly with this thing called the Younger Dryas and the Younger Dryas impact theory.
00:11:48.000The Younger Dryas is a time period around 11,800 years ago where they think the Earth got hit by comets.
00:11:54.000And they think civilization got basically wiped out.
00:13:03.000And in fact, this comet shower that we go through every year, 31 kilometer, 19 mile wide meteorite crater discovered under a kilometer of Greenland ice had long puzzled scientists.
00:13:16.000The Hawatha crater was exceptionally well preserved despite glacier ice being incredibly effective at erosion.
00:13:40.000So this guy, along with this guy named Graham Hancock, who's also been on the podcast many times, a good friend of mine, he has a documentary called Ancient Catastrophe.
00:14:30.000And it's, you know, he only goes, he only touches the surface because there's so many of these all over the world and Egypt is the best example.
00:14:38.000Egypt is a fantastic example because there's stuff that's under the sand that's even older than the massive stuff that's above the sand and the stuff under the sand that they find when they dig deeper, it's a totally different style of building.
00:14:52.000This is what the ex-Clan used to rap about.
00:15:15.000The wild shit is that if it wasn't for those stones, If everybody lived like we live today, in glass houses and shit, there'd be nothing left.
00:16:25.000And I think the way we've gone today technologically with like phones and microphones and video cameras and shit, like we've gone into an electronic technology.
00:16:34.000I think they went into another technology that was different, a different path.
00:16:41.000They were able to move stones out of the mountains and move them 500 miles.
00:16:45.000They don't have any fucking idea how they did it.
00:16:47.000The necessity, you know, we're figuring out things from necessity.
00:16:52.000That, but I think thousands of years of thinking.
00:16:56.000I think, you know, when we think about the Industrial Revolution and we think about the way the world was just 2,000 years ago to now, I think those people were recovering.
00:17:06.000I think those people 2,000 years ago were recovering from shit that happened thousands of years before that, where people were just knocked back into barbarism.
00:17:39.000This is where it talks about people, how they went into the Ice Age and then they had to start cannibalizing each other because there was nothing growing and all of these other things.
00:18:12.000So that's the thing, like, if you lived on the Great Plains in the 1800s and you were a Native American, that was your whole life, that's all you knew.
00:18:20.000You knew how to hunt buffalo, you knew how to make teepees, you knew how to live off the land, that's all you knew.
00:18:25.000If you took some fucking person from the east side of Manhattan, some person that worked some cushy office job, And he said, Jerome, this is your new life.
00:19:41.000Yeah, like my friend, he used to brag about having this Maserati, and when the flood happened, his Maserati was floating down the street, and I was in my truck.
00:19:54.000I was like, hey, you want me to come pick you and your Maserati up?
00:19:57.000Because you're in a bad position, my boy.
00:20:51.000Everybody else is, like, in Corvettes.
00:20:54.000They're sliding into oncoming traffic.
00:20:56.000Yeah, that's what happens when you have one of them little low-built cars or sports cars, and you don't have an off-road vehicle, something that's sturdy that can move things.
00:21:07.000Like, I have a truck, and my truck is built for that.
00:21:10.000If you're only going to have one vehicle in Texas, a truck is the way to go.
00:21:57.000There's been crazy shit all throughout history.
00:21:59.000So why don't people want to think about that?
00:22:02.000Because we like to think about what's in front of us right now.
00:22:04.000The human mind is set up essentially for survival, right?
00:22:09.000And we have the exact same brains as people that lived 10,000 years ago.
00:22:13.000So the people that lived 10,000 years ago, if they in fact were hunter and gatherers, and they probably were hunter and gatherers because the people before them were far more advanced and they were rebooting society.
00:22:24.000But those people, that life that they lived was all about get some fucking food, find out what the dangers are around you right now in terms of your enemies and predators, and get some fucking food and feed your family and try to stay alive.
00:23:38.000You know, talk to a 19-year-old kid, they're not thinking about fucking climate change.
00:23:43.000I wish somebody would've told me in 19, hey, listen, climate change.
00:23:48.000Yeah, maybe my tomatoes will be able to survive.
00:23:52.000I think, you know, with having a healthy love for the elderly, because I would, you know, prefer to be one one day, you know, I would like to set things up for those people that's doing it now for when I get there.
00:24:08.000I don't want to wait and then get there and then be struggling.
00:24:11.000Well, I'm 65 and I don't understand what's going on, because comics, most comics don't have a retirement plan.
00:24:17.000Most comics don't even have a monthly plan.
00:24:20.000Comics are the wildest fucking people I know.
00:28:16.000I think there's a real pleasure in that, if you earn that, and you definitely have earned that.
00:28:21.000There's real pleasure in that, but people like you and people like me that are constantly on the road and constantly working on this and working on that, it's like you're on this momentum, and it's hard to hit the brakes going downhill.
00:28:32.000Jesus fucking Christ, like Flintstone brakes.
00:33:15.000I lived in some apartments where these guys, they were old, they was high teens, and when you went to go check the mail, because the mailbox was by the pool, they would try to throw you in the pool.
00:33:33.000And you're going to take the mail and your mother will tell you, hey, don't bring my damn mail back here wet.
00:33:41.000And you would have to sneak to the mailbox and open the mailbox so quietly.
00:33:50.000Get the mail, and you hope that nobody see you, because if anybody saw you, they're going to say, hey, here's the mailbox!
00:34:24.000They just start spending all their money.
00:34:26.000You know, lottery winners, they go broke quick because they're like, they never had this before and all of a sudden they have it.
00:34:30.000When you're 13 and all of a sudden you kind of have a man body and you're 14 and you're strong as shit and little kids, you could just yell at them and tell them what to do and make them do shit and smack them around.
00:35:31.000I was a pretty good fighter at 19. I started fighting maybe around 10. You get some good ones.
00:35:41.000I remember when I knew the difference between being 13 and being 19, when my cousin got into a fight with these guys, and this guy was thick.
00:35:55.000All this was like really, he was a man.
00:37:42.000I'm saying even though I was light, like fairly light in comparison, the amount of power that you can generate with your legs and what your ribs are...
00:37:51.000Me and my daughter were doing this little art project and we're drawing zombie, this zombie thing.
00:39:21.000You're trying to send shockwaves from your brain to your legs, and then your legs are like, man, if you don't get the fuck out of here, I'm going down.
00:39:30.000The most shocking to me was when I would get hit on the chin.
00:39:33.000Because one time I got dropped, I got hit on the chin with a left hook, and my legs just went like this.
00:42:04.000And then don't Don't even try to look at the things that can make you more healthy.
00:42:12.000The amount of research that people do, they'd rather scroll on their phone than just look up something that can be helpful to them personally.
00:48:08.000And then I got real high and I got paranoid that I was going to give people COVID, like my guests, because I'm so selfish and I want to do the road.
00:48:15.000Even though I was getting tested every day, I was like, what if it slips?
00:49:21.000That's why when you walk in the middle of the lobbies, that giant UFO, that's what that's for.
00:49:26.000That UFO is a replica of that, and that is a replica of the craft that Bob Lazar...
00:49:33.000A guy was a propulsions expert who was a whistleblower who worked at Area S-4 in Area 51 in the Nevada desert, back-engineering alien spacecrafts, supposedly.
00:49:44.000But this is what he described, and that's what we put in there.
00:49:46.000The whole club, the whole idea of the comedy mothership, the whole idea is the club's themed on UFOs.
00:50:34.000I think they realized we reached a level of technological sophistication that we could kind of kill everybody on earth.
00:50:41.000Oh, you think one of them went rogue and taught us?
00:50:45.000I don't think one of them went rogue and taught us because there's a very, like if you go and look at the Manhattan Project and you go and look at the history of splitting the atom, there's a very clear academic paper trail of how they figured this out and all the trials that they did and what they did when they detonated the Trinity bomb,
00:51:05.000which by the way was one of the first times they ever discovered those nanodiamonds.
00:51:08.000It's called, I think they called Trinitite.
00:51:10.000And it's like nuclear glass, they call it as well.
00:51:13.000And it's what happens when a massive impact hits sand.
00:51:17.000And it turns it into this kind of glass.
00:51:47.000I just don't know what they were visiting to do.
00:51:49.000Well, the way I describe it is there's a great show on Netflix called Chimp Empire, and Chimp Empire is all about these scientists that are embedded in this chimp tribe, and they've been there for 30 years.
00:52:00.000Because these scientists have been there for 30 years, the chimpanzees behave like there's no people there.
00:52:05.000They can get within 20 feet of these chimpanzees.
00:52:08.000Chimpanzee, as long as they don't eat in front of them, and as long as they never present any sort of danger, raise their voices, and as long as they just stay back, the chimps don't pay attention to them at all.
00:53:10.000Because it's this perilous tipping point.
00:53:13.000Where we could completely wipe out life on Earth or we can evolve and get to the next stage of existence where we could coexist harmoniously throughout the universe and join some fucking global, you know,
00:53:29.000some rather universal group of beings.
00:53:34.000It's possible, but the only way that's possible is if we don't nuke ourselves.
00:53:38.000So, with the chimpanzees, the scientists are there, they're observing them.
00:54:16.000Do you think that there's all these UFO sightings and the government talking about UFOs and this whistleblower that came out and said there's a crash retrieval program and we have crashed vehicles and they've recovered alien bodies?
00:54:29.000You believe and I believe, but it's the old man like, hell no.
01:03:45.000There's a ton of Russian fighters that are in the UFC. You know, me and a friend of mine was talking, another comic, Gerard G. And we was talking, he said, man, this country is crazy.
01:04:02.000Remember when Floyd Mayweather fought Manny Pacquiao?
01:05:44.000Yeah, so what happened was, this is the end of the fight, but see if you can find what caused it, because there's a video that shows the end of the fight, and in the end of the fight, what happened was, if you just Google, just tweet, like, put Mayweather Pacquiao in Twitter,
01:06:19.000He caught Floyd a couple times with some little shots.
01:06:22.000But mostly he's just getting boxed up, right?
01:06:25.000Boxed up by literally the greatest boxer of all time.
01:06:28.000But he was holding on quite a bit and wouldn't let go and was trying to like hold and clinch and hit, which is something like right here, which is something you can do in MMA. So he's protecting himself from Floyd, but he's not letting go.
01:06:43.000And so Kenny Bayless gets tired of him not listening and not letting go.
01:06:47.000And he pushes him off and he says, that's it.
01:07:05.000Yeah, well, the other guy got in the way, too.
01:07:07.000But, you know, I mean, it became a melee.
01:07:10.000And so then there's fights in the ring, and then there's fights outside the ring, and there's all this cell phone footage of people brawling and sucker-punching each other.
01:08:14.000What's interesting is Floyd's making more money than anybody, and he's boxing people who have no chance of beating him, and he's doing it as an exhibition.
01:11:34.000The biggest insanity is that it's not a cherished position to teach people.
01:11:39.000It's not a position where you have the most qualified, the best people possible and they get paid really well because they have an incredible job.
01:11:46.000They're educating the young children and that education can literally form the path that you go on for the rest of your life.
01:11:55.000Your experiences that you have in schools with good teachers, they can shape and form you in a way that changes your whole life.
01:12:01.000They can expose you to ideas that you never heard before and it changes the way you think about things.
01:12:15.000New Zealand has the best school system, has teachers who get paid, and they also have the best teachers because they have people who want to be teachers.
01:12:29.000I think that if it's not a position in this country where it's made attractive, where people can...
01:12:41.000One, survive and actually have the way they really want to be teachers.
01:12:47.000I think that sometimes we have a lot of people, like I grew up when, if the kids of the day of the day had my teachers, I think everything would be cool.
01:12:57.000Because I had teachers that inspired thought and creativity.
01:13:27.000And if you have teachers that'll walk out for more money, You should also walk out for a better curriculum as well if your desire is to teach children and to inspire the youth to be.
01:13:43.000And I credit teachers for everything that I am.
01:14:09.000You know, it was people who desired and wanted to nourish children.
01:14:18.000And the pay, it definitely has to be increased, but you have to...
01:14:23.000Increase the quality of what you're paying for.
01:14:26.000But don't you think that that's how you do it?
01:14:29.000If you want to get better teachers, the better curriculum, don't you think you incentivize them with more money so you would get more motivated people?
01:16:18.000And that's where I worry that, you know, I don't know how many times we've talked about it on this podcast, but it came up recently because there was a man named Bruce Bryan.
01:16:27.000And he did 29 years for a crime that he didn't do.
01:16:32.000And my friend Josh Dubin, who used to be, he used to work with the Innocence Project.
01:16:39.000And he releases, he gets prisoners released.
01:16:42.000He's an attorney, civil rights attorney.
01:16:44.000And he goes to these places, finds these people.
01:16:47.000We've talked about this so many times.
01:16:48.000If they really wanted to fix it, what they would do is they would figure out the areas that have the most crime and dump a shitload of money in it and a shitload of time and effort and try to figure out how to mitigate all these problems in these places.
01:17:02.000And you're going to have less people that go to those places.
01:17:05.000And until they do that, they don't care.
01:17:08.000And then you've got these fears of things like the prison guard unions that literally lobby to keep marijuana drug laws so that people keep going to jail, so they'll have more people in their jails, so they don't lose jobs, which is crazy.
01:18:51.000With that in private facilities where you have...
01:18:56.000What they call transit units, which is, all of this stuff would be in Domino Effect 3, because I'm going to go through the first three years and then the last three years and show people how this system, you know,
01:19:19.000That's what Bruce is explaining that the town in upstate New York where the prison he was in was located in, everyone relied on the prison.
01:19:29.000The people that are generational, people that their families had worked as prison guards.
01:20:10.000Do you know how much, you know how treacherous this becomes?
01:20:15.000Because now something that happened on first shift, which is over because he's gone.
01:20:22.000But it's been told to his brother and his mother.
01:20:26.000So now you got a problem on second shift now.
01:20:30.000And you have a problem on third shift.
01:20:33.000So with a high-ranking person that's in a system that has no police outside of the The warden or the captain that's over them that's on another shift that's related to them that live in the same town with them.
01:21:44.000But when you put people in a small town, in a prison where everybody's related, everybody knows each other, this is what happens to people.
01:21:53.000So it's not just a, you're not inside with one danger, you're inside with a lot of dangers.
01:21:59.000Like most of the time, people don't think that they could get killed every day.
01:22:20.000That's a lot of mental strain on you every day if you don't learn how to navigate this.
01:22:30.000But that's the system that you live in when you, especially if they're building prisons in a small town where everybody is, there's nobody to oversee this that has some other invested interest.
01:22:42.000Like, if you was from another place, and you're like, I just want my prison to be ran right, And if I get any of these complaints, if something happens on this, you can regulate that, but when it's all the same, aw man, you in trouble.
01:23:54.000And they are unaware because Texas is very closed-lipped about how they operate.
01:24:01.000They don't, like, on their show Lock Up, you done seen every other prison, every other prison system open their doors up to, hey, come and see how we do things.
01:24:20.000Like if the people that come from other places and they get into, like in Houston, there's a lot of people that's coming from other places that doing crime and then they understanding that once the law enforcement system in Houston is different and it's big and they cross talk.
01:24:38.000It's not like you can't be in Iowa County and not in Missouri, in Missouri City and Sugar Land and Harris County and Bel Air Police.
01:24:47.000All these people, And the constables and the sheriffs, like all these people coincide with each other.
01:26:22.000Like, I'll hold court in the street before something like that happens.
01:26:27.000Look, I'm not in favor of carjacking or armed robbery.
01:26:30.000Not in any stretch of the imagination.
01:26:33.000But until we address why this is all happening, until you address why some people have zero need to rob people, and some people that's the only way they can get by, or the way they've learned to get by, and it's been in their neighborhood for so long.
01:26:48.000They've been dealing with gang violence and drug dealing and chaos all their life.
01:28:59.000Like my oldest daughter, I used to tell her mom, don't say this in front of her, because then you give her that option as an excuse.
01:29:11.000Something she probably never would have even thought of using, but when I give her the option to use it, that's the thing.
01:29:23.000With me, I'm very transparent about, man, I didn't have to be in the street selling, though my mom had a job.
01:29:29.000My desire for what I accepted outside of what my mother was saying to me, because nobody's mother is saying to them, get out in the street and gangbang and create ruckus.
01:29:45.000So when does that voice become less important to you than whatever you're seeing in the street?
01:29:51.000Because nobody in my community, not one black mother I ever even known in my life said to they child, this is the only way for you to go and get it.
01:30:03.000It's to rob, pillage, steal, kill, sell dope.
01:31:47.000And they don't care nothing about you being 17. They don't care nothing about you being 18. Caring nothing about you being 19. Whatever you were doing in the street, you didn't care.
01:31:59.000So why would we care about what you got going on in here?
01:32:01.000And we're going to put you in the worst position.
01:32:03.000So maybe you can say that you don't want to be in this position.
01:32:07.000Maybe the people who love you will come get you out of this position.
01:36:25.000Do you know how weird it is to have somebody that's 45 years old, 50 years old, coming to your house for your kid's birthday party, and he's coming in, hey, what's happening, kid?
01:39:06.000And then when you're talking to someone and they want to get the fuck out of there and you know they want to get the fuck out of there, then you feel insecure and you try to be more entertaining or nice, try to turn them around.
01:40:22.000And I know because I'm labeled as a storyteller when people try to talk to me they try to tell me stories and I be kind of rushing it like And uh-huh, and what?
01:40:33.000It's like, all this part is, this could be interesting, but you are losing me in all of this part right here.
01:43:42.000But when it's in the round, everybody on this side is looking at everybody on this side and everybody on this side is looking at everybody on this side.
01:44:37.000And then in the course of trying to shoot Domino Effect 3 and 4 in September, trying to find a venue for that, the thought of doing arenas and getting to that point,
01:44:54.000and when people say, man, you've been doing something 25 years, are you tired?
01:46:24.000You figure out a way to do this one better.
01:46:25.000Every new bit is a new living thing that you're feeding and growing and trying to make it the most palatable and the most exciting and the sneakiest and the funniest and the most outrageous.
01:47:10.000From the way you move around the club, where you don't have to go through the crowd to go from room to room, to the way the green room's set up.
01:47:17.000The balconies, so you can watch the show.
01:51:47.000But when he was young, when he was a gay porn star, he was a beautiful man.
01:51:51.000And I think he probably got plenty of dick already and he didn't have to fuck his disciples.
01:51:55.000And he just had these people that were washing his feet and he was teaching them yoga and telling them that they're all God energy and everyone's God and I'm God.
01:52:02.000And he even got so far with the hypnosis that he convinced these people that he could give them the enlightenment.
01:52:12.000And it would be like this big thing, you had to earn the knowing.
01:52:15.000But when he gave it to these people, just the power of suggestion, these people were like...
01:52:19.000Like they were having these ecstatic, psychedelic experiences, like they encountered God and it lasted for days.
01:52:27.000These are people talking about this after they left the cult, after they knew he was a con man, after they knew that he'd just been hypnotizing people and fucking them and he was just full of shit and getting plastic surgery and all kinds of wild shit.
01:52:41.000Even though they had gone through all that, they still went back and talked about when he would do that to them early in their life, and that they really did, like, experience God.
01:53:17.000And if you've learned how to get people to think that there's this thing that you have, and you can give it to them, and you hold it over their head for a long fucking time until you actually do give it to them, and when you do give it to them, they believe it wholeheartedly.
01:53:42.000So if this guy can convince you that that's happening, your brain probably does dump all those chemicals out, because you think it's actually happening.
01:56:35.000It's like I've been squatting for two months.
01:56:39.000And we do the podcast, and then he's walking out, and I'm thinking, because he don't have on shoes and no shirt, he's clearly in this nice Toyota Camry right here.
01:56:49.000And I'm walking towards his Camry, and I look back, and he's like, Is that your rental car?
02:01:36.000That's another the way you're doing it is podcast style in a way because you're doing it yourself now and Doing it yourself and putting it up on YouTube is the way to do it rather than going through some big corporation Some Netflix or HBO or whatever it is like you're almost betting against yourself at this point because the numbers that you get when you put it up where everybody can get it anytime they want and then someone can say oh my god have you seen this and And then they could share it,
02:02:42.000Well, I think one of the things that's happening to people when they're stuck in an office all day or stuck working all day is they're not getting to have long conversations about things they really think about.
02:02:54.000And if you are in a situation where you can listen to people have those conversations, it's the next best thing.
02:03:01.000And sometimes you can listen to those people have conversations with people that you're never going to get to meet, you know?
02:06:07.000And then he'll take fights where he knows he's supposed to lose.
02:06:10.000There's a lot of those guys out there.
02:06:11.000In the early days of a fighter's development, they will, you know, that's one thing that boxing has over MMA. They'll kind of almost be setups where, you know, this guy's like 20 and, you know, or 20 losses and like two wins.
02:06:25.000You know, there's guys like that that are out there.
02:06:28.000Legitimately, they have the craziest records you've ever seen.
02:14:20.000And I think if you're a person that's not around wildlife a lot, you see a bear walking on two legs in the deep forest, especially if it's dark out, you think you saw a fucking Bigfoot.
02:14:39.000This is the thing with these scientific experiments.
02:14:45.000Do you remember, it was a while back, I think we talked about it, or I talked about it somewhere where these orangutans got out of a nuclear lab in San Antonio, a biometrical lab in San Antonio.
02:15:47.000Using just a 55-gallon barrel, three baboons liberated themselves in the confines of the biomedical research facility this weekend for about half an hour before they were captured and returned to incarceration.
02:15:58.000Incarceration's a fucked up word used for baboons.
02:17:07.000And when the story happened, I said, man, y'all don't realize at the end of the world, that's the start of every zombie apocalypse movie I've never heard of.
02:20:00.000And a fascinating thing happened with this troop of baboons.
02:20:03.000They were dominated by the alpha males.
02:20:05.000And the alpha males always got first access to the food.
02:20:10.000Neuroendocrinology researcher and author.
02:20:13.000Professor of biology, the alpha males always had access to the food first.
02:20:19.000Well, they were getting food from a dumpster that this resort was using, and the alpha males had access to it first, and one of the dumpsters was filled with bad food, tainted food.
02:21:08.000They were waiting on him to come back, and he was like, hey, don't nobody do nothing, because you know they're going to come back and beat us.
02:21:35.000So when the top-ranking males died off in the mid-1980s, aggression by the new top baboons dropped dramatically, with most aggression occurring between baboons of similar rank and little bit directed towards lower-status males and none at all directed at females.
02:21:50.000Troop members also spent a large percentage of time grooming Sat closer together than in the past, and hormone samples indicated that the lowest-status males experience less stress than underlings and other baboon troops.
02:22:05.000More interestingly, these effects persisted at least through the late 90s, so wow, it was more than 10 years, well after the original kinder males had died off.
02:22:15.000Not only that, when the adolescent males who grew up and other troops joined the garbage dump troop They, too, engage in less aggressive behavior than in other baboon troops.
02:22:25.000As Sapolsky put it, we don't understand the mechanism of transmission, but the jerky new guys are obviously learning.
02:22:32.000We don't do things like that around here.
02:22:35.000So, at least by baboon standards, the garbage-dump troop developed and enforced what I would call a no-asshole rule.
02:23:30.000When you on what we call a Cadillac tank, that's what a Cadillac tank is, where you come over there and everybody come and lay it down to you.
02:23:41.000Look, man, we ain't with nothing that bullshit over here, man.
02:23:45.000Whatever you're going to do, all that stealing, whatever you got moved over here, it's Cadillac over here.
02:26:34.000Like, you're not even supposed to run into those people until you go to prison.
02:26:38.000Because jail and prison is actually supposed to be different.
02:26:42.000Now, I understand you don't want to be in either place, but I don't understand the animalistic behavior that jumps off as soon as you get locked up.
02:26:55.000And it's only with a certain ethnic group.
02:26:57.000Do you think they think they have to do it that way because they've been told that that's what it's like when you get in?
02:38:46.000He's in some crazy situation where the judge sent him to jail because he was under house arrest, but they put him in house arrest in a house, and it was too small for his security detail, his family, and his kids, and so he got a suite at the Four Seasons.
02:41:58.000Yeah, you're jumping with it, trying to take the impact off, and the shit's still hitting you.
02:42:02.000And if he would have stayed down, I think it wouldn't have looked this bad, but shit, if you would have stayed down, would you have went down?
02:44:09.000And you know, when you run into a fighter and you don't realize how small they are in certain fighters and then other ones you don't realize how big they are.
02:44:19.000I ran into Sugar Shane Mosley at the same benefit, and he's smaller than me, but he's rocked up, like, up under his sweater with so many knots.
02:46:32.000And then also you got that just knowing Mike Tyson has boxing gloves and he's in front of you and somehow or another you're in a fucking ring with him and he's moving towards you like, what does that feel like?
02:53:15.000Do you know that Hunter S. Thompson flew to Africa to watch that fight and was so scared that Ali was going to get killed, and so he didn't want to see Ali get the fuck beaten out of him, so he stayed in his hotel.
02:53:28.000He stayed in his hotel and he got drunk and he floated around in the pool, on a pool floatie.
02:53:33.000And then afterwards he found out that Ali won.
02:53:35.000So they'd flown him to Africa to write, to report.
02:55:53.000If I did a movie, like, I know a movie that I want to do about me coaching girls in Summer League, but if I did a movie, I would want to play...
03:04:47.000When that movie came out, the movie was so popular that New York Fats changed his name to Minnesota Fats and said the movie was all about him.
