Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
00:00:17.000
Can I plug my dates real quick before I forget?
00:00:19.000
I'm going to be in Denver at Comedy Works on July 13th through the 15th and Levity Live in West Nyack, New York on July 20th through the 22nd.
00:00:42.000
I feel like you need something outside of comedy.
00:00:45.000
Like when you start doing it for money, you have to do something else so you're not just doing comedy.
00:00:50.000
Yeah, it also helps your brain just because you're talking about stuff and thinking about stuff.
00:00:58.000
Just having to find your own energy every week or whatever.
00:01:06.000
I think the best tool for comics is the one-person podcast, which you do too.
00:01:11.000
It's like where one person gets to rant about things.
00:01:14.000
You have guests on, but sometimes you just rant about things.
00:01:17.000
I think that is where Burr comes up with a lot of his material.
00:01:21.000
That's where Tim Dillon comes up with a lot of his material.
00:01:28.000
Because what I do is I have my producer find these articles and I never read them.
00:01:33.000
And he gives me the gist of it and I just react.
00:01:38.000
When I heard about the submarine people, the first thing I said was, what kind of stupid...
00:01:42.000
But I forget, I got empathy for the people still.
00:01:46.000
They're dumb as fuck, but being trapped in a box is one of the worst ways to go.
00:01:52.000
And they haven't found them yet, but they're hearing banging now?
00:01:58.000
I mean, they have 30 hours, less than 30 hours now, just before they run out of air.
00:02:08.000
Well, if there's banging, if someone's banging.
00:02:11.000
As of Tuesday afternoon, they had 40 to 41 hours.
00:02:19.000
Yeah, like everybody that's still alive is really sleepy right now.
00:02:38.000
I think somebody on there might have made a heroic sacrifice or something.
00:02:46.000
Do you think someone killed someone so they have more air?
00:02:49.000
I think somebody might have killed themselves so everybody else had more air.
00:02:51.000
How are you going to kill yourself in front of everybody on a little tiny submarine small within this room?
00:03:00.000
You know how much energy you'd take to choke someone out?
00:03:06.000
Can you imagine being on there with your child?
00:03:08.000
You're like, baby, look, daddy showed you how to do...
00:03:20.000
I think they're just going to assume they're all going to die together.
00:03:27.000
I have no idea what ability they have to pull that thing up.
00:03:46.000
Well, the crazy thing is Jamie pointed this out yesterday, and there's lawsuits, apparently.
00:04:02.000
Someone yesterday, I read that there was a lawsuit in 2018. A whistleblower was trying to report that the window, the glass wasn't Wasn't rated for that depth?
00:04:23.000
Oceangate was warned of potential for catastrophic problems with Titanic mission.
00:04:32.000
January 2018, the company's engineering team was about to hand over the craft.
00:04:37.000
Named Titan to the crew would be responsible for ensuring the safety of its future passengers.
00:04:41.000
But the experts inside and outside the company were beginning to sound alarms.
00:04:45.000
Oceaneet's Director of Marine Operations, David Lockridge, started working on a report around the time, according to court documents, ultimately producing a scathing document to which he said the craft needed more testing and stressed the potential dangers of the passengers of the Titan as the submersible reached extreme depths.
00:05:04.000
Two months later, Oceangate faced similar dire calls from more than three dozen people.
00:05:09.000
Industry leaders, deep sea explorers, and oceanographers who warned in a letter to its chief executive, Stockton Rush, that the company's experimental approach and its decision to forego a traditional assessment could lead to potentially catastrophic problems with the Titanic mission.
00:05:25.000
So, apparently they've done this a hundred times?
00:05:32.000
Imagine being number 99 and you hear about this.
00:05:36.000
Yeah, you know, and I read too this morning, some reporter was on one, he was on the boat Last year, and it got lost for like five hours, the submersible.
00:05:48.000
Says, Mr. Lockridge reported learning that the viewport that lets the passengers see outside the craft was only certified to work at depths of up to 1,300 meters.
00:05:59.000
That is far less than would be necessary for trips to the Titanic, which is nearly 4,000 meters below the ocean surface.
00:06:27.000
That he refused to accept information for the company's engineering team and that the acoustic monitoring of the hull's strength was better than the kind of testing that Mr. Lockridge felt necessary.
00:06:37.000
The company sent in its lawsuit that it appeared Mr. Lockridge was trying to be fired.
00:06:41.000
Mr. Lockridge responded by alleging wrongful termination.
00:06:45.000
Legal battle ended in a settlement later in 2018. So it seems like it was him but two dozen other people?
00:06:53.000
The separate warning received the same year from 38 experts in the submersible craft industry.
00:06:59.000
All of them were members of the Manned Underwater Vehicles Committee of the Marine Technology Society, a 60-year-old industry group that promotes studies and teaches the public about ocean technology.
00:07:08.000
The experts wrote in their letter to Mr. Rush, Look at this shit.
00:07:21.000
The letter said that Oceangate's marketing of the Titan had been at minimum misleading because it claimed that the submersible would meet or exceed the safety standards of a risk assessment company known as DNV, even though the company had no plans to have the crab formally certified by the agency.
00:07:44.000
Man, it's weird because for some people there's no such thing as enough money.
00:07:52.000
If I go the rest of my life making the money I'm making right now, I'd be great.
00:07:58.000
I got enough money where I don't make decisions based on that.
00:08:05.000
Once you have enough money to go to a restaurant and not worry about what food costs, because everything else is bullshit.
00:08:16.000
Once you pass $70,000, more money doesn't make you happy.
00:08:23.000
Once you're up around there, you can just buy a good meal and not think about it.
00:08:28.000
I don't make decisions where that's the number one factor, where it's like, oh, you could make $10,000 and do a good job, or you could make $100,000 and betray your two closest friends.
00:08:46.000
But they don't think about the guilt that would come up with the betrayal.
00:08:55.000
Well, that guy, I think the guy with his son, is that the same guy that flew in Jeff Bezos' rocket ship?
00:09:05.000
I think he owns the ship, not the submersible company.
00:09:15.000
James Cameron went down there before he filmed Titanic.
00:09:24.000
I don't think somebody was in control of it from somewhere else.
00:09:32.000
I mean, just to be him and decide to do that because you're filming the Titanic.
00:09:58.000
Have you seen that, like, it's an animation of how deep the ocean gets?
00:10:03.000
And it just shows you how, compared to a bunch of stuff on land, and then how far the minimum depths are, and then the maximum depths.
00:10:09.000
So he went to the maximum, like Mariana Tretch.
00:10:12.000
It's more than twice as far down as the Titanic is.
00:10:17.000
And now don't they think there's a deeper spot in there?
00:10:19.000
Yeah, I think they found some other spots they think are deeper.
00:10:27.000
Challenger Deep is an area in the Mariana Trench.
00:10:30.000
Just imagine just relying on all that equipment to continue to work properly.
00:10:35.000
But it also looks like they maybe not, whereas this current submarine didn't have any sort of tethering to it.
00:10:50.000
You know how one of the conspiracies about the moon landing is that they really got Stanley Kubrick to film it?
00:10:57.000
We have a fucking director here claiming that he went to the bottom of the ocean, and no one suspects that he made it all up.
00:11:06.000
Yeah, how we know he fucking really went down there?
00:11:13.000
All we got is footage of him inside that thing.
00:11:21.000
I think it's like 2010 or 11. Yeah, it's less than 10 years old.
00:11:28.000
Because, you know, Avatar 2, a lot of it is water.
00:11:31.000
Apparently it's like one of the most expensive movies to film ever.
00:11:37.000
The last one's coming out now in 2031. Jesus Christ.
00:11:41.000
And the main girl's like, I'll be like 50. I shot this, the first one, and I was 20-something.
00:11:52.000
But if you get in a role like that, where you have to come back again and again and again, it's a little bit of a velvet prison for a lot of those guys.
00:12:16.000
They have a giant, giant, giant story plan that's going on that's way bigger.
00:12:20.000
They're on Phase 5 now or something wild with that?
00:12:23.000
They're allowed to do weird shit now because of the multiverse.
00:12:27.000
They can just go back in time and reset things.
00:12:29.000
That happened in DC, brought in the multiverse too.
00:12:37.000
A Marvel movie just has to be better than okay.
00:12:43.000
Because we know at the end what's going to happen.
00:12:46.000
Because the people in the comics, they go way harder than they do.
00:13:03.000
In the movies, Thanos' motivation is he wants balance in the universe.
00:13:08.000
So he wants to find the Infinity Zone so he can snap away half the people so there's more resources for the people left.
00:13:17.000
What happened is from a little kid, Thanos was a freak, like a mutant.
00:13:31.000
And something happened and she fucking hates him.
00:13:41.000
And he's trying to impress her by sending her more souls.
00:13:48.000
So the movie would have ended in a completely different way.
00:13:51.000
He ended up having, like, he created a platform for her in a throne so she could watch when he snapped away the rest of the universe.
00:13:59.000
And all of the fucking Avengers and everybody showed up to fight this motherfucker.
00:14:03.000
It was a Epic battle and when it happened to his daughter, you know the robot chick that betrayed him?
00:14:09.000
Her punishment was like she was just stuck standing still.
00:14:14.000
But she was just stuck like a slave standing still.
00:14:16.000
And every superhero in the universe is fighting just Thanos.
00:14:20.000
Trying to get that gauntlet off before he snaps, you know?
00:14:29.000
The last person he saw coming, she used her last bit of willpower and snapped out of it for a second and snatched the glove off.
00:14:39.000
I wonder why they took that plot line away, because that's a great plot line.
00:14:43.000
Bro, there's this dude on YouTube called Comics Explained.
00:14:52.000
He does these videos where he just walks you through the whole story.
00:14:56.000
You know, some of them, four, five, six hours long, he goes through the whole issues and tells you the whole shit so you don't have to...
00:15:01.000
And I was like, I watch this motherfucker all the time.
00:15:04.000
I was like, oh, this was way better than the movies.
00:15:07.000
Yeah, but I think it would have just taken them longer.
00:15:10.000
Because they have to make the movies for people that don't read the comics.
00:15:14.000
So they can't always do everything that's in there.
00:15:22.000
We're halfway through four now, I think, on here.
00:15:26.000
And then they have all the stuff that's coming out?
00:15:30.000
Yeah, there's two new Giant Avengers War movies coming.
00:15:43.000
Yeah, there's X-Men supposedly supposed to be coming out.
00:15:46.000
At some point, they're bringing them back into the fold.
00:15:49.000
They just got the rights to Hulk back, so I'm expecting another Hulk movie to get announced.
00:15:53.000
But Mark Ruffalo's not going to be the Hulk again, right?
00:15:59.000
I think Mark Ruffalo's busy being a political activist or something.
00:16:02.000
I could take the rights to his face and put somebody else in there.
00:16:16.000
He sold all the rights to his voice because, you know, he has, I think it's called aphasia.
00:16:25.000
And so he gave up the rights to AI using deepfakes of him for ads and for a bunch of other things.
00:16:35.000
I mean, that's worth it if you can't talk no more.
00:16:36.000
Well, if you know that it's over and you're never going to work again, you're just trying to stay alive.
00:16:49.000
I think they were celebrating a birthday, and you could see him struggling.
00:16:58.000
There's a report that he actually did not sell his rights.
00:17:06.000
It says, actor denies selling rights to AI company for digital twin.
00:17:10.000
But there was also articles that said he did it.
00:17:14.000
It says that he did it, but there's one that's counter to that that says he did not.
00:17:17.000
And then the quote is something like, the wording about rights is wrong.
00:17:25.000
Anyone with any rights, they're his by default.
00:17:28.000
The deepfake companies use artificial intelligence to create realistic simulations of famous figures.
00:17:32.000
A deepfake of Willis appeared in an advert for a Russian telecoms company last year.
00:17:37.000
In August 2021, Megafon launched an ad campaign with Bruce Willis and requested us to create a digital twin of the star.
00:17:44.000
Upon the request, our engineers processed a dataset composed of 34,000 images of Bruce Willis and made his digital twin for this series of Megafon ads.
00:18:04.000
Especially if you're an old dude and you're done.
00:18:08.000
I mean, James Earl Jones is going to be making that Star Wars money until he dies.
00:18:22.000
Yeah, the money you make when you don't have to do anything is, you know, that's freedom right there.
00:18:29.000
Yeah, just passive income just keeps floating in for you.
00:18:33.000
I was just talking to somebody else about this.
00:18:36.000
I think there's people that dream of being rich.
00:18:40.000
But what they really want, the fantasy is really that they can do whatever they want.
00:18:47.000
But because we're in a capitalist society, freedom is being rich.
00:18:58.000
Being able to buy what you want to buy, being able to do what you want to do.
00:19:01.000
But then there's, like, the Bezos's of the world, where it's like, for them, it's about dominating.
00:19:08.000
But he seems to have, like, he resigned from the company, right?
00:19:18.000
He's just banging that super hot girlfriend of his and traveling around the world in the biggest yacht that no one's ever built.
00:19:26.000
Who's that one billionaire that I was telling you about?
00:19:37.000
There's guys that look that good that are his age that just work out all the time.
00:19:42.000
Because he's doing so many things that I don't know what is he going overboard with.
00:19:47.000
Like, he takes, like, 40 vitamins in the morning and 40 more in the afternoon.
00:19:53.000
He always sleeps at the same exact time no matter what?
00:20:00.000
You know, like I was telling you, I had a headache last night because of all the shit that's going on in the club.
00:20:10.000
And then I got up in the morning and I was foggy as shit.
00:20:25.000
So he looks to me like a normal, fit 40-year-old guy.
00:20:29.000
Nah, but show a picture of him from, like, five years ago.
00:21:04.000
If you showed up at the mothership with that outfit, everybody would be like, Brian Simpson, what the fuck are you smoking?
00:21:15.000
No, but I bet you it's probably something that lets a certain frequency of light to his nipples that helps him retain vitamin D or some shit.
00:21:52.000
There's a thing that they do where they put these micro needles all over your face and then they rub stem cells in your face.
00:22:00.000
But now imagine the sun doing this from 18. Yeah.
00:22:14.000
But that's interesting that he would choose that route, the vegan route for longevity.
00:22:19.000
Because there's a lot of nutritional pitfalls in that.
00:22:25.000
Because like you said, he takes like 50, 60 vitamins.
00:22:30.000
But the most nutrient-dense foods are red meat.
00:22:40.000
I mean, he doesn't look that good there, though.
00:22:43.000
But it's like, for a lot of people on vegan diets, it's hard to put mass on.
00:22:51.000
But he looks like a normal 45-year-old guy that's fit.
00:22:57.000
Him, his son, and his dad all did the transfusion thing.
00:23:05.000
Imagine if you go over to someone's house and the son and the dad and the little kid, they're all posed like this.
00:23:14.000
If I went over your house and you were there with two other dudes, I'd be like, hey man, I'm gonna leave.
00:23:22.000
The one on the right's not as bad as the one on the right.
00:23:35.000
Yeah, well, he's definitely holding it in his stomach.
00:23:37.000
Yeah, on top of that, that guy's not listening.
00:23:47.000
Well, I think he was estranged from the dad and the son until, like, recently.
00:23:52.000
And they got back together for the transfusion.
00:23:57.000
I've met people that, like, their kid won't talk to them.
00:24:04.000
Last night at the club, there were two people where it was just a dad out with his son.
00:24:09.000
Well, one was out with his son and one was out with his daughter.
00:24:12.000
If you're 50 and your 25-year-old daughter wants to still hang out with you, you did pretty good.
00:24:31.000
That's like when you date manipulative, vindictive people and they do it to other people and you don't think they're ever going to do it to you.
00:24:39.000
You're going to be other people if they don't like you anymore.
00:24:43.000
While sleeping, Johnson is hooked up to a machine that counts the number of nighttime erections.
00:24:52.000
He also takes daily measurements of his weight, body mass index, body fat, blood glucose levels, and heart rate variations.
00:25:04.000
How many boners do you think you get in a night?
00:25:09.000
Every now and then I go to pee and I gotta do the lean.
00:25:19.000
I don't want to be worried about stuff like that.
00:25:22.000
That ain't going to come out with like an apple cock ring that'll measure for you.
00:25:27.000
Five nocturnal erections during an eight-hour sleep cycle, typically, with each erection lasting about 25 minutes.
00:25:40.000
I guess just find out what his testosterone levels are, but wouldn't you be able to do that with blood levels?
00:25:47.000
Like, when I had that whoop thing, like, if I looked at it, I mean, I still have it, I just haven't been wearing it, but if you look at it and it says you only got, like, 25% recovery, but you feel good, you're like, what the fuck is going on?
00:26:01.000
But that was actually a sign that a lot of people had COVID. Because they would have an eight-hour sleep and they'd wake up and it'd be like 4% recovery.
00:26:14.000
Sometimes I still do the health tracking, but sometimes I want to.
00:26:20.000
I mean, I do measure my heart rate and I do wear a heart rate strap when I do some of my workouts, but...
00:26:26.000
Like yesterday, there's a couple people in my family that are sick right now.
00:26:29.000
Not bad, but enough, you know, that it's like, they're sick.
00:26:33.000
And I was working out yesterday, I was like, boy, do I feel like a bitch.
00:26:42.000
So I'm riding this line where I don't want to overstress myself and tax my immune system, but I don't want to pussy out of my workout.
00:26:50.000
So I've got to feel it along the way while I'm doing it.
00:26:53.000
It's like I'm going through a dark room and I'm just feeling the walls by hand.
00:27:02.000
Well, I have a particular type of mental illness.
00:27:12.000
It's riddled with extra energy and data that it doesn't need.
00:27:22.000
But when I have exertion, I'm calm and friendly and nice and easy going and I'm compassionate and I think about other people like their problems before I react to things.
00:27:33.000
But when I'm like amped up, like if I haven't worked out for three days, like I'm not good at decisions, you know, because then I'm you know, you want to say things like shut the fuck up.
00:27:42.000
But when you say shut the fuck up, nobody hears shut the fuck up.
00:27:46.000
They don't think, oh, I should shut the fuck up.
00:27:50.000
Unless you're really thinking about violence and you're letting someone know, if you don't shut the fuck up, I'm going to put you in the hospital.
00:28:02.000
That shit'll save your life in a whole bunch of situations.
00:28:13.000
It just seems like a lot of people are comfortable being disrespectful.
00:28:22.000
That way of communicating becomes a part of your system.
00:28:28.000
There's so many people that are so crazy on Twitter.
00:28:31.000
I couldn't imagine talking to someone like that to their face just because it's so mean.
00:28:38.000
It's also such a pussy move because you know the person's not there.
00:28:42.000
You're saying mean shit to them to hurt their feelings knowing that they're not there and then you keep checking for replies like a sick fuck.
00:28:50.000
Because on top of it, it's like everyone sees this.
00:28:54.000
It's more important for me to get in a good clapback than it is...
00:29:00.000
I had an old gym, one of my gym teachers used to like, whenever it got like physical in physical education class, like somebody wanted to fight or whatever, he would let us fight, but he would take you in the closet where we put the mats, and he'd be like, well y'all can fight in here in front of me,
00:29:18.000
And 90% of the time people go in that closet and make up.
00:29:21.000
Yeah, because it's like, it's the The wanting to save face that makes you not be able to let shit go.
00:29:27.000
It's also, when you get in that closet, you realize it's real.
00:29:36.000
We gonna both just leave here and tell people what happened?
00:29:40.000
And, you know, it's also, you're about to get your face punched in.
00:29:44.000
Yeah, but that shit will backfire, though, too.
00:29:46.000
Because some people really want to scrap, but you take them in there and it's a problem.
00:29:53.000
He's a bare-knuckle boxing guy that came over from the UFC. That dude, like, some people pretend to not give a fuck.
00:30:06.000
Yeah, there's people like that out there and they're so fucking entertaining to watch them fight.
00:30:12.000
As much as I made fun of it when it first came out, the slap league.
00:30:18.000
I haven't watched a full match, but some of the people in there are characters, man.
00:30:24.000
If you're gonna get slapped in the face for a living, it'd probably be a character.
00:30:35.000
They need to have a separate champ for front hand and back hand slaps.
00:30:44.000
If you backhand slap, you gotta be dressed like a pimp.
00:30:47.000
You gotta have some fly velvet suit on, something just beautiful and purple.
00:30:53.000
Instead of a belt, it's just a cape for the champ?
00:31:16.000
They've made some of the most sensational TV since...
00:31:32.000
There's more good shows than bad shows on HBO. Just Succession, which just ended.
00:31:46.000
I feel different about the ending every time I think about it.
00:31:51.000
You're so conflicted because there's no heroes.
00:32:00.000
Think about the fact that at the end of the day, losing was still them all being rich.
00:32:10.000
And they were so—because like I told you, people like that, it's not about the amount of money.
00:32:19.000
You know the whole Art of War thing where it's like, never go beyond victory.
00:32:28.000
So when I first watched it, I was like, man, fuck Shiv.
00:32:30.000
She'd rather be under Tom, who betrayed her, than her brother be in charge.
00:32:37.000
At the end, it was like, the brother fucked up.
00:32:40.000
And I don't know if this was intentional, but I like to think it is.
00:32:52.000
And when he was, he wanted to gloat one last time in the room.
00:33:08.000
And one last time, and that's when she got up, I was like, I gotta think about it.
00:33:22.000
Oh, he was just Tom's bitch for the rest of his life.
00:33:33.000
Yeah, and he comes off as like this bumbling kid, but he got sucked into it.
00:33:41.000
He was like, just be rich and away from these guys.
00:33:51.000
I was talking to my friend Sean about gambling addicts the other day.
00:33:54.000
Growing up in pool halls, not growing up, but being in pool halls when I was younger, it was my first exposure to real gambling addicts.
00:34:02.000
And it is a sickness that's different than anything that I ever thought it was.
00:34:09.000
These guys, they want that fucking, they just gotta be in action.
00:34:24.000
It's the fucking adrenaline rush and you're watching the game.
00:34:46.000
In pool halls, man, it's like everyone's a junkie.
00:34:51.000
You got your players who are like, they're addicted to playing, and they're also addicted to winning, and they're addicted to making scores.
00:35:00.000
But then you got the line people, the people that aren't even, they're not playing.
00:35:09.000
Sometimes people are playing for $25,000, but there's $500,000 in the room.
00:35:16.000
These are like big money games in the Philippines, big money games when some guy will come over from Europe and match up with somebody.
00:35:24.000
They'll have these three-day tournaments where they're playing for $100,000, but there's so much betting on the side.
00:35:33.000
I wonder if they just sit down and do the math and realize you lose way more than you win.
00:35:40.000
You think you win sometimes, you're going to keep winning.
00:35:50.000
It's wild to watch because it was so scary to me.
00:35:58.000
You think it's easy to have a friend with a gambling problem or a drinking problem?
00:36:05.000
I know a lot of good people that have kicked drinking.
00:36:07.000
I know a lot of really good people that had drinking problems and now they're awesome.
00:36:14.000
He had a drinking problem and he kicked it and became...
00:36:16.000
He was already one of the best comics alive when he was a drinking guy and then quit and got even better!
00:36:29.000
So it's like, that's a guy that had a drinking problem.
00:36:31.000
I know a bunch of people that have had drinking problems.
00:36:34.000
Drinking problems, to me, it seems like it's more relatable.
00:36:38.000
And it's usually some pain that you're dealing with in your life.
00:36:47.000
Some people, they just have a genetic propensity to alcoholism.
00:36:51.000
Dude, I just heard a friend of mine told me about a guy the other day where he has a drinking problem, but he also is an alcoholic.
00:37:01.000
He's an alcoholic, but he's also allergic to alcohol.
00:37:06.000
So he would literally drink himself into the hospital like once a week.
00:37:11.000
And I was like, right there, that's bad right there.
00:37:14.000
You gotta recognize that shit is like your arch nemesis.
00:37:17.000
But there's a thing about addictions where it's like even if you know it's bad for you, you keep getting pulled into it.
00:37:24.000
It's hard to explain that to somebody that's never been addicted to anything.
00:37:30.000
Dude, I was getting addicted to those nicotine vapes.
00:37:41.000
But then when I got one back, I just wanted to suck on it.
00:37:51.000
Me and Ari the other day had a conversation about docking.
00:37:54.000
You know when dudes take their foreskin and put it over another dude's dick?
00:37:57.000
And we were like, we were arguing over who's winning.
00:38:10.000
Why do I always get in conversations like that around Ari?
00:38:26.000
You know, she's like a new kind of interesting talent.
00:38:44.000
But yeah, I got to meet her during the Moondower.
00:38:51.000
See, I didn't talk about Bottom of the Barrel at the beginning of the show.
00:38:59.000
I was bummed out that I didn't get on stage the second one.
00:39:05.000
I've had two premises that I've gotten out of Bottom of the Barrel that became actual bits.
00:39:09.000
Yeah, every night it's And it's a different show every night.
00:39:15.000
And the crowds, now we're starting to get to the point where regular people are coming back and back and back.
00:39:25.000
Yeah, I give out prizes if I get a real good one.
00:39:35.000
And the thing is, this is one of those places where they didn't offer to sponsor.
00:39:38.000
I... I got one, and I was like, everyone should have one of these.
00:39:44.000
Like, I would be their spokesperson if they paid me.
00:39:47.000
Because, I don't know if I've ever told you this, but I have a real, my relationship with flies, When I was deployed, my first deployment to Iraq, it was when we didn't have shit going on.
00:40:00.000
And we was camping in this town called Anumanaya.
00:40:03.000
And it had the most fertile soil I've ever seen.
00:40:16.000
And whoever got in trouble would have to bury the holes.
00:40:20.000
These were the biggest, most numerous flies that I've ever seen in my life.
00:40:33.000
To the point where I would wake up, the tarp we had, it would be completely covered in flies.
00:40:50.000
And there were so many flies and they were starving.
00:40:58.000
You haven't had an MRE? So you know how everybody eats it out of the bag it comes in, right?
00:41:03.000
And so when you open that bag, you had about three seconds to get the food in your mouth.
00:41:08.000
Because it's like they would sense the moisture.
00:41:11.000
And even if you got the bad closing time, they would pop, pop, pop.
00:41:21.000
If it's too many women in the group, they always want to eat outside.
00:41:26.000
I'm not going to come because I already know the cutest girl is going to go, we should get outside.
00:41:31.000
And I'm going to be pissed the first time a fly lands on my food.
00:41:40.000
When I discovered a gun that could kill these motherfuckers.
00:41:50.000
She's like, the whole fucking house is going to be covered with salt.
00:41:52.000
You're going to leave the doors open just so you can kill more flies.
00:42:01.000
Oh, good, because I told you she took the rifle.
00:42:18.000
Now, the shredder, okay, It comes with a CO2 cartridge.
00:42:36.000
And bro, when I tell you, because now that thing, it'll rip a fly to pieces.
00:42:40.000
You hit a fly with that motherfucker and it's dead.
00:42:51.000
Because, you know, I'm out there doing archery.
00:42:53.000
And I'll do it during the day with shorts on because it's 95 fucking degrees out there.
00:42:59.000
And I come inside and my ankles are just brutalized.
00:43:32.000
America, man, I'm giving these guys free game right now.
00:43:36.000
But I'm telling you, there's no more satisfying feeling.
00:43:39.000
Then shooting one of the motherfuckers out the sky or shooting it off or something.
00:43:43.000
If you live in Texas, every time you open your door, something flies in your house.
00:43:50.000
Every single day something flying is in my house.
00:43:52.000
And every single day I kill that motherfucker and it feels so good.
00:43:57.000
So no matter where I am, I don't gotta leave the floor.
00:44:01.000
I go right away and I talk shit the whole time.
00:44:04.000
I'm like, oh, you think shit's sweet up in here?
00:44:14.000
It's very impressive, the mounds that they make.
00:44:20.000
I feel like every kind of bug in the world is here.
00:44:24.000
I got a booklet that they sell at the supermarket of the snakes from Central Texas, like what's dangerous and what's not.
00:44:35.000
And she sent me photos or videos of two big-ass coral snakes in her garage.
00:44:48.000
They usually aren't trying to fuck with you, though.
00:44:51.000
The problem is sometimes you don't know they're there.
00:44:54.000
And so you're stepping and you step too close to them and they bite you.
00:45:07.000
Yeah, you got to get to the hospital with the thing that killed you.
00:45:11.000
I'm sure hospitals out here probably carry antivenom.
00:45:14.000
My dogs got bit a ton of times by rattlesnakes.
00:45:18.000
Back when I used to have pit bulls, anything in that yard was dead.
00:45:22.000
You know, I saw a video the other day, this might not be true, but who knows what you learn off the internet, but cats are like quicker than snakes.
00:45:31.000
There's a great video of a snake trying to bite a kitten, like a young cat, and the cat's like, WAP! Shut the fuck up with that.
00:45:45.000
After you do comedy for so long, it's the real silly shit that gets at you.
00:46:05.000
So he has all these different phrases, but when a cat hits somebody, he calls it a skibbity-pap.
00:46:33.000
Those little motherfuckers can fall really far, though.
00:46:37.000
I worry about her all the time, but she's a savvy one, man.
00:46:47.000
Yeah, they don't take kindly to being stuck indoors, those outdoor cats.
00:46:53.000
Right here right now, I don't like what's happening right here.
00:46:55.000
I don't like how you're holding my arm and licking my chest.
00:47:00.000
I'll rip your paw pads loose and put them in a nice little broth and let that simmer while I see all your cats fur to the highest bidder and all your goddamn catnip, you understand me?
00:47:23.000
And most of those families that have cats and dogs, the cat is ruling the rules.
00:47:26.000
Yeah, they smack the dog right in the fucking face.
00:47:28.000
Did you ever see the video of the girls talking about her pronouns and the cat turns and smacks her in the face?
00:47:35.000
So there's a girl, like, holding her cat and she's being serious about her pronouns and this cat turns around and goes, Shut the fuck up.
00:48:14.000
If she acting up, it's either something's wrong health-wise, or I'm late feeding her, or her litter box is dirty, like something.
00:48:31.000
If you're annoying about that, you're probably annoying about other stuff.
00:48:33.000
The cat was like, she need to change my fucking water bowl.
00:48:39.000
If you don't change litter boxes all the time, people go to their house and it smells like piss.
00:48:44.000
All factory senses are interesting in that they detect change.
00:48:54.000
If you live in a town that has a slaughterhouse...
00:48:58.000
If you live in a town that's got, like, a lot of agricultural chemicals around, that terrible smell...
00:49:03.000
Like, my parents used to live in Pennsylvania, and I used to drive to visit them through Jersey.
00:49:07.000
And when you're going through Pennsylvania, going to where they lived, there was a lot of, like, agriculture.
00:49:15.000
You roll down the window, you're like, what the fuck?
00:49:18.000
These people live with that every day, but they don't notice it after a while.
00:49:21.000
So, like, that's the thing with people's houses, when you go over there and they have a box of piss.
00:49:43.000
Yeah, but then, if you got an outdoor cat, like, you know, she shits outside somewhere.
00:49:54.000
Do your roommates take care of her when you go out of town?
00:49:57.000
I mean, I'm sure they watch out for her, but not anymore.
00:50:13.000
Because they'll take care of her, but they won't do what I would do.
00:50:18.000
But only if I'm going for more than a few days.
00:50:21.000
If I'm doing like four days somewhere, then I'll just have her go check on her a little bit.
00:50:25.000
If you have a cat and you come back home after a couple days, the cat's like, oh, look, you're back.
00:50:37.000
So she always, whenever I leave for more than a day, she thinks I'm going to leave her.
00:50:42.000
I've had strays, stray dogs that were like that.
00:50:58.000
That food can't be good, that dry-ass bullshit food.
00:51:03.000
But, like I said, I couldn't trust anybody else to do it.
00:51:06.000
I wonder if cats get mercury poisoning from, like, eating tuna and shit like that.
00:51:14.000
I think their kidneys are pretty fucking strong.
00:51:25.000
Well, a lot of those, that's true, but a lot of those tuna, they're riddled with it because the big fish are the ones that are eating the most little fish and a lot of the little fish are the ones that have the heavy metal poison.
00:51:37.000
Animals do not show signs until several weeks after being poisoned by organic mercury.
00:51:41.000
Signs can include blindness, excitement, abnormal behavior, and chewing, lack of coordination, and convulsions.
00:51:49.000
Cats show hind leg rigidity, lack of coordination, and tremors.
00:51:58.000
So it's not common to cats, but it may be the first thing a veterinarian suspects.
00:52:03.000
So it's possible that mercury poisoning happens, but is not diagnosed.
00:52:06.000
Oh, it may not be the first thing a veterinarian suspects.
00:52:28.000
And he would just go into these terrible convulsions, like these seizures.
00:52:35.000
He's the cutest little guy, and there's nothing they can do about it.
00:52:50.000
So, just temper and parvo are not the same disease, but both are highly contagious viral diseases that could cause serious symptoms and even death, especially for unvaccinated puppies and adult dogs.
00:53:05.000
I got him from the pound and you know he's a rescue puppy and you know and sometimes when you know they're around who knows where they are before the pound gets them and he was already infected.
00:53:17.000
Why'd you take him home if he was already going to die?
00:53:22.000
He started showing symptoms a while after we got him.
00:53:34.000
I mean, I've had animals down me, but they were never mine.
00:53:37.000
I don't know what I'll do if something happened to this.
00:53:44.000
So you got these cute little baby deer that are running around.
00:53:47.000
And when we were walking the other day, and the mother deer ran away and left the fawn, and the fawn just lies down on the ground because they're so small they can't run yet.
00:53:58.000
And so the mother tries to distract you by running away so that you chase her, and hopefully the fawn kind of blends into the grass.
00:54:10.000
So for the first, I don't know how many days, they really can't run away.
00:54:15.000
Like now I see the same little baby deer, and now they're running around.
00:54:23.000
Well, it's a plan that ensures that there's going to be less deer because you can't have too many deer.
00:54:29.000
It can't be perfect where they come out running full split.
00:54:36.000
Well, that's more planning than those submarine people.
00:54:40.000
That shit pisses me off the more I think about it.
00:54:46.000
How you don't have a plan B? See, you know what's so strange about that whole situation to me?
00:54:55.000
They started out with like four days worth of air, Jamie?
00:54:59.000
So someone thought if something goes wrong, they're going to need extra oxygen.
00:55:08.000
So someone was thinking about what they might need in an emergency.
00:55:14.000
They gave them extra air and then no other way to get out of a bad situation.
00:55:33.000
And if that doesn't happen, if somehow they lose contact with the ship, the ship is not directly above it, that's it.
00:55:43.000
So is there a tide that moved them away from under the ship?
00:56:06.000
I think the banging is just, it's banging up against something, or maybe the banging is something else.
00:56:12.000
You know, they've never measured the sounds around that area.
00:56:15.000
It's not like they can say that that banging is outside the norm.
00:56:20.000
It's probably still creaking and swinging, and who knows what that banging is.
00:56:24.000
And I could be wrong, that could be them banging.
00:56:31.000
Oh, like they're thinking, oh, the sonar will hear them.
00:56:48.000
But at this point, we know there's no hope of saving them.
00:57:00.000
Even if they were on the surface right now, like if they had risen to the surface somehow, there is an emergency.
00:57:13.000
And even if they found them right now, they got to bring them to the surface slowly.
00:57:22.000
How long does it take to get them to the surface?
00:57:27.000
But it's longer than you'd be comfortable with.
00:57:31.000
So I think it's not about how much air they have left, right?
00:57:34.000
It's about do they have enough hours of air left that it would take them to braze them to the surface?
00:57:44.000
See if there's like some sort of a detailed strategy.
00:57:56.000
One of the writers for The Simpsons or creators for The Simpsons or something took this tour last year.
00:58:07.000
Three times, or it says, communication was lost during all three of his dives, including that to the Titanic.
00:58:14.000
It's like when they were trying to do it for TV, they couldn't even find the Titanic or something.
00:58:20.000
The boat has to be near the sub so communication can happen, and if they are not near each other, communication is just gone.
00:58:44.000
In theory, which is probably not correct, it could have resurfaced at some point, and it's just floating somewhere, and it can't get out, you know?
00:58:54.000
Not backups, but there are seven different possibilities for it to resurface, and they're like, well, if none of those happened, the other possibilities are that there was a leak, in which case there's no backup vessel...
00:59:10.000
Yeah, any kind of leak, any kind of opening at that depth is gonna kill everybody.
00:59:19.000
Like getting down there so slow and knowing that all that water is above you.
00:59:25.000
Yeah, just a column of water sitting on top of you.
00:59:33.000
And then imagine you sitting there thinking about the one motherfucker that was trying to tell you that window wasn't good.
00:59:41.000
The guy who's sweating it, the CEO, who has the information.
00:59:45.000
Because if we got to kill somebody to save Aaron, we kill him first.
00:59:54.000
Boy, everybody involved in that company is fucked.
01:00:01.000
Well, it depends on which political party makes it their issue.
01:00:05.000
If the Republicans make it their issue, somebody gonna pay for that.
01:00:07.000
What is happening with that Sam Bankman Freed guy?
01:00:17.000
They just quietly did that while they're telling us about aliens.
01:00:24.000
This is the age where you can't tell what's true, you can't tell who's who, who's being bribed, who's not, who has an agenda.
01:00:31.000
So now, people are going based off It's like what you're likely to believe is whatever you want to be true.
01:00:38.000
Did you see that James O'Keefe left Project Veritas?
01:00:43.000
He's the guy that does all those gotcha videos, investigative reporter videos.
01:00:51.000
I don't know what led him to leave Project Veritas, but he started his own group.
01:00:56.000
And his own group yesterday, he got some guy...
01:00:59.000
From this corporation talking about how easy it is to bribe politicians.
01:01:11.000
He's like, you know, you can get a senator for like 10 grand.
01:01:20.000
At some point he says that, he's like, you might be an undercover reporter, but then he still keeps telling the girls.
01:01:32.000
Like, a lot of them are these chatty gay guys, and they get some cute gay guy to go on dates with them.
01:01:37.000
Yeah, but there's one part of the video where he's, like, at a job fair or something.
01:01:47.000
I don't know, but I suspect it's probably because it's easier to do things when people aren't thinking about it.
01:01:53.000
All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians.
01:01:56.000
You can take this big f*** ton of money, and then you can start to buy people.
01:02:09.000
Let me tell you, it's not who's the president is.
01:02:12.000
It's who's controlling the wallet of the president.
01:02:50.000
Well, these people always, it's always single people on dates.
01:02:59.000
The guys do if they want to let a girl know, like, hey, they're a fucking big mover shaker in this corporation, and this is how we do it.
01:03:07.000
Government secrets don't impress women, do they?
01:03:14.000
It's them using their influence and money to affect the political system.
01:03:23.000
And, you know, when a guy can talk about how much power he has to a girl on a date...
01:03:31.000
You're like, hey girl, I have several moral failings, but I'm successful.
01:03:47.000
He definitely don't work for Black Rock no more.
01:03:59.000
He killed himself by shooting himself in the asshole.
01:04:05.000
But they'll just disavow him, and none of the major media networks will cover that.
01:04:12.000
Because when something like this happens, whether it's a pharmaceutical company, he's done that with a lot of those people, like Pfizer, he got this guy talking about engineering viruses, and it never makes the news.
01:04:24.000
Hey, girl, I've grabbed several public officials.
01:04:29.000
Yeah, I think it's, you know, she's also asking the right questions, like saying that she's curious.
01:04:35.000
So he gets to show how much he knows, you know?
01:04:39.000
Imagine you having a good date and this girl just destroys you.
01:04:52.000
She got free dinner, a hot scoop, and then destroyed your ass.
01:04:57.000
You get a couple of cocktails in someone like that, you know?
01:05:01.000
And they don't think about what they're saying.
01:05:03.000
Next thing you know, you're giving up some serious global details.
01:05:09.000
I mean, that pretty much gives Black Rock a way out.
01:05:17.000
I mean, that's literally what one of the guys said that they busted.
01:05:28.000
You know, people definitely lie on dates and pretend they know more than they know.
01:05:32.000
If she recorded him being like, yeah, I have a 12-inch dick, people wouldn't be like, well, that must be true.
01:05:39.000
Yeah, but it seems like what he was saying is based on personal experience.
01:05:47.000
He said he was a recruiter, so he's never done any of that stuff.
01:05:51.000
Also, if it only costs $10,000 to buy a senator, I feel like...
01:06:01.000
Yeah, I wonder how that works with political donations.
01:06:10.000
Yeah, he donates to their charity where they also happen to be an employee.
01:06:16.000
Didn't he say he paid Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton to be at his wedding?
01:06:23.000
I think it was either his wedding or one of his kids' weddings.
01:06:26.000
I think you can pay people and they'll do an appearance.
01:06:35.000
Give me $250,000, I'll show up at your wedding.
01:06:37.000
I mean, just to be there, that might be worth the trip.
01:06:41.000
I think they're doing that all the time, so it adds up.
01:06:44.000
You know, Donald Trump, he probably didn't have their meals covered.
01:06:47.000
He's like, well, I'll just, I'll pay you to come, then you do read the contract.
01:07:03.000
I was trying to find the video of it, but it's not coming up.
01:07:11.000
With Hillary Clinton, I said, be at my wedding, and she came to my wedding, Trump applied.
01:07:19.000
He added that he gave money to the Clinton Global Foundation without understanding how his funds would be used.
01:07:24.000
I didn't know the money would be used on private jets going all over the world, he said.
01:07:30.000
Clinton had a front row seat at Donald Trump's wedding, his third wedding, in 2005. The Clinton team didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on whether the Clintons only attended Trump's wedding because he contributed to her Senate campaign.
01:07:59.000
Like, once you hit a certain amount of money...
01:08:01.000
The system is set up for you to never go broke again.
01:08:05.000
If you use it correctly, and they use it to the most.
01:08:11.000
So they use every single loophole to benefit them to make sure they will never go broke and their kids will never go broke.
01:08:17.000
I mean, when banks fail, the government bails them out.
01:08:25.000
Private risk, public, no, public risk, private benefit or whatever the fuck?
01:08:31.000
Kodak Black's lawyer slams Hunter Biden plea deal after a rapper sentenced to three-plus years for the same crime.
01:08:38.000
Attorney for rapper questioned different outcomes for his client.
01:08:44.000
Yeah, but Lil Wayne, I think, had a similar charge and had worse penalties than...
01:08:54.000
I know it's a case-by-case basis, but there are a lot of people that are mad about Hunter's situation.
01:08:59.000
But to be fair, though, this is not Kodak Black's first conviction.
01:09:04.000
I don't know, but I think he just got out of prison.
01:09:10.000
I think that's why he said, yeah, like his lawyer said, two tiers of justice.
01:09:14.000
He was charged for the same crime and did three years.
01:09:22.000
But also don't know if, I mean, I haven't looked back at Hunter Biden.
01:09:25.000
Did he never get arrested for any of his problems in the past?
01:09:27.000
Well, he said he was pardoned by Trump in 2021. Hunter Biden?
01:10:02.000
Right, Chelsea Manning transitioned while in government custody for treason.
01:10:13.000
I thought when she initially got arrested, it was Bradley Manning.
01:10:16.000
And while she was still in custody, it changed to Chelsea Manning.
01:10:22.000
Because it seems like you're getting mistreated, but also if you can transition, they're treating you pretty...
01:10:39.000
I mean, someone can transition by just identifying as a woman now.
01:10:54.000
Listen, transitioning from a woman to a man would probably be easier, but I think women can tell you're not one of them.
01:11:03.000
You've got to take estrogen if you're transitioning to a woman, because you've got to think like them.
01:11:22.000
Auto means happening without, like, unconsciously.
01:11:33.000
Oh, so it means somebody that automatically loves pussy?
01:11:41.000
No, autogynophilia is men have a sexual fetish where they're attracted to women, but they want to dress up like a woman.
01:11:49.000
They want to dress up like a woman and fuck women.
01:11:52.000
Autogynophilia is defined as a male's propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female.
01:11:58.000
It's a paraphilia that is theorized to underline transvestism and some forms of male to female transsexualism.
01:12:12.000
Now that is transphobic, which is really wild because it's been in the psychological literature forever.
01:12:24.000
He transitioned to a woman, but he fucks women.
01:12:29.000
So maybe he loves women so much that he also wants to be a woman.
01:12:33.000
I think it just gets turned on by the idea of him being a woman.
01:12:56.000
Imagine thinking you're so hot that you make you cum.
01:13:01.000
He's like, man, if I was a bitch, I'd do this better than these hoes.
01:13:09.000
You were telling me about a woman that transitioned to a man and started taking testosterone.
01:13:19.000
I had two female friends that transitioned to male.
01:13:32.000
But every trans man I know, every woman that transitioned to a man that I know personally, when they started taking testosterone, at some point, they walked up to me and was like, I get it.
01:13:45.000
Testosterone's a hell of a fucking thing to just start taking a high dose of.
01:13:50.000
It's this aggression that gets introduced to you.
01:13:53.000
Yeah, and it hits every man at the worst possible time.
01:13:56.000
When your body's just getting coordinated, you don't know shit about life, and there's this drug that makes you want to fucking kill and dominate and win, and it's just the highest dose you're ever going to receive.
01:14:08.000
It's like, you take like 15 years for it to fucking wear off.
01:14:11.000
That's why they want people to join the Navy and the Army and the Marines when they're 17. Yeah.
01:14:17.000
Yeah, when they can whip you into a fervor with just a little speech.
01:14:28.000
I would have got on that sub when I was 19. Of course.
01:14:33.000
But now I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with y'all?
01:14:36.000
Yeah, I probably would have did it if I was young and stupid and I didn't understand consequences, but I probably would have been regretting it halfway down.
01:14:52.000
And the thing is, because they're all rich, it's a joke.
01:14:57.000
I'm sure some people have empathy, but right away Twitter's like, Yep.
01:15:05.000
If you search right now on Twitter for the knocking sound, it's just beats.
01:15:12.000
People are like, I heard they was listening to this and it's just Young Jeezy.
01:15:20.000
Just like listening to a knock and then just someone ripping ass.
01:15:27.000
David Lucas played it in the green room last night.
01:15:43.000
When he has to give public speeches about things, he's so good at that, man.
01:15:55.000
Because he practices something that I learned from doing comedy for real, and it's that people...
01:16:02.000
If you ask somebody, is it okay to talk about this?
01:16:07.000
But the way they respond to a joke, you breaking the shit down to where it's obvious that you've put a lot of thought into it is enough for most people to not have a negative reaction.
01:16:24.000
So when he goes and gives speeches about controversial issues or he's talking to a group of people that all disagree with him, it's like he's so thoughtful.
01:16:35.000
Even if he's saying something that you totally don't agree with.
01:16:40.000
He understands how his words are being interpreted by the people that he's talking to.
01:16:44.000
He's very smooth and careful with how he does it.
01:16:57.000
And there's always room for more people like that.
01:17:00.000
I'm always trying to encourage interesting people to start podcasts.
01:17:07.000
And for me, I want to hear how different people think.
01:17:11.000
I'm always wondering, why do I think like this?
01:17:23.000
It lets me get all my thoughts out without the obligation to be funny.
01:17:28.000
Because sometimes you gotta get through all of the unfunny to find the funny.
01:17:32.000
And you don't always have time to do that on stage.
01:17:37.000
It's like finding a gold nugget, but it's all covered in shit.
01:17:46.000
Sometimes the nugget's buried so deep that I don't have time to do it on stage.
01:17:52.000
Yeah, normally I would just be sitting there thinking those thoughts or saying them to myself.
01:17:56.000
Right, but when you're saying them out loud like that too, you're hashing them out and you're working it out in real time.
01:18:03.000
Tim Dillon is so funny off the cuff on those rants.
01:18:18.000
His stand-up got way better after he started doing his podcast.
01:18:34.000
Tim talks a lot of shit but he bought a second house here.
01:18:41.000
I try to explain to people what Because I would never tell somebody, hey, this is better than New York or better than that.
01:18:50.000
But I feel like you should go wherever you're going to benefit the most.
01:18:56.000
Wherever you have the most connections, wherever you're going to get the most stage time.
01:19:03.000
Like Cam Patterson moved out here from Florida.
01:19:14.000
He had put a joke on Instagram and it came up on my feed and I liked it and followed him.
01:19:22.000
I'm standing outside smoking on the second day and he goes walking by me on the street.
01:19:31.000
And I was like, hey, come in on Monday to the open mic.
01:19:54.000
It's basically an advanced version of what we had at the store, but genuinely dedicated to development of new talent.
01:20:03.000
But we were talking about that before we ever did this.
01:20:05.000
When we were planning this out and we were hanging out in the Vulcan, we all were in agreement.
01:20:10.000
You've got to have two nights of open mic nights.
01:20:19.000
And you can always have, you know, like last time we did open mic night, Bill Burr was in town.
01:20:28.000
Well, I think a lot of clubs don't, you know, because open mic doesn't, it's not a money-making night.
01:20:33.000
You know, and so a lot of clubs, like, they see it as an afterthought, but it's like...
01:20:39.000
You're doing it for the greater good of the art form.
01:20:42.000
The more people that do it, the better the people will be.
01:20:45.000
The better the people that are around you, the better you'll be.
01:20:50.000
And if you're a comedy fan and you go in one day and you see some kid who's been doing comedy for two years...
01:20:58.000
And then you come back six years later and they're fucking headlining.
01:21:13.000
And, you know, what we're doing out here is the best that we can do right here.
01:21:16.000
It doesn't mean that it's better than anywhere else.
01:21:25.000
I don't think you have to like, there's a winner.
01:21:29.000
But it does help that there's so many good comics here.
01:21:47.000
If your show don't pay, it's not going to last here.
01:21:55.000
But if I find out you're making money and you're not paying the comics, then I'm not fucking with you.
01:22:01.000
Well, they used to have those shows in L.A. where the one person putting on the show...
01:22:07.000
They were making thousands of dollars and they'd give like $50 to this person.
01:22:10.000
They'd give a couple hundred bucks out out of thousands and thousands of dollars for a sold out show.
01:22:17.000
People were coming to see all the other people and the other people were just doing the show because it was convenient.
01:22:23.000
And they just wanted to do a set just to work out.
01:22:26.000
And you think of the store as a place to just work out.
01:22:28.000
And you realize, oh, somebody's like massively profiting.
01:22:41.000
Where the comics feel appreciated, the reason why people are going there is for the comics.
01:22:54.000
The club's got to understand, like, what are you selling?
01:22:57.000
This is the argument that I had with the store when I got banned.
01:23:00.000
I was like, you have a box with a microphone in it.
01:23:06.000
The Comedy Store is a great venue that has a lot of amazing history.
01:23:13.000
So if a shithead like you is making decisions and supporting a fucking joke thief over the rest of the community, you know what the fuck is going on.
01:23:24.000
Most of the institutions in comedy work that way.
01:23:33.000
But the problem is they get you when you're not a draw.
01:23:37.000
So then they can say, oh, well, they're not here because of you.
01:23:41.000
So you get used to getting underpaid and not asking more about the money and how you're compensated.
01:23:48.000
And before you know it, you just have, you know, when it's all said and done, you have all these memories and, you know, it's the prestige.
01:23:55.000
Well, the thing about the store was it was a great place to work on your act and then you'd make money going to other places.
01:24:04.000
I'm glad they make money because I want to support it.
01:24:13.000
When you would find out how much money was on one of those bringer shows, those showcase shows, you feel violated.
01:24:34.000
That's what happens when people are allowed to do shit like that.
01:24:38.000
Generally, the people that are doing it aren't artists.
01:24:40.000
It's just like a business person that's figured out this little loophole that the artists who are just not good at planning for shit are kind of scatterbrained and impulsive.
01:24:54.000
Yeah, so the concept behind this is just that, well, let's just put all the power in the hands of the artists and just do it right, do it ethically, and create like a real sense of community.
01:25:09.000
I think people that benefit from Artists being...
01:25:12.000
Yeah, you mean people that don't own other clubs.
01:25:14.000
Yeah, people that don't benefit from artists being empowered, you know?
01:25:26.000
But the thing is, like, they always held it over us.
01:25:30.000
Making money gives you the ability to say no to other money.
01:25:35.000
Because what I found is people in show business, a lot of times, all their power is in the fact that you don't have anything.
01:25:43.000
So it's like, all I got to do is throw a little bit of money at you.
01:25:46.000
And you have to say yes, because you're living in L.A. You're trying to survive.
01:25:54.000
And so you're going to sign this shitty contract and I'm going to give you 10 grand and that's more money than you've ever had at once.
01:26:01.000
And I'm buying the rights to your idea and I'm going to turn around and make 10 million dollars off it.
01:26:07.000
But when you have security in your money, you can say no to shit like that.
01:26:14.000
Well, that sort of situation in Hollywood only really applies to big budget things now.
01:26:19.000
It's very hard to get people, if they know what's going on, to sign off on something like that now.
01:26:27.000
If it's a movie or something like that, then what are you going to do?
01:26:31.000
It's going to make me famous and give me steady work.
01:26:34.000
There's some desperate people in the show business.
01:26:38.000
You know what's wild is this story with The Flash.
01:26:41.000
Do you know the story with the movie The Flash?
01:26:43.000
I mean, I know Ezra Miller is like a controversial figure.
01:26:51.000
I mean, he must be so good in this fucking movie.
01:26:54.000
I haven't seen the movie, but I heard it's really good.
01:27:02.000
He says he's a they-them, which gives him a lot of leeway.
01:27:12.000
Because it's hard to imagine that they still release this movie with all these controversial charges against this guy.
01:27:19.000
And I understand that they spent some god-awful amount of money on the movie.
01:27:38.000
Vanity Fair's report followed an update from Rolling Stone which detailed how Vermont State Police were unable to find a mother and her three children who are allegedly living in unsafe conditions at Miller's Farm in the state.
01:27:52.000
Reportedly, the police attempt to serve the mother with an emergency care order that would take away the children from Miller's property.
01:27:57.000
The repeated attempt to contact the mother apparently is what resulted in the police charging Miller with felony burglary.
01:28:04.000
Vermont State Police also report this occurred after police found out that several bottles of alcohol were taken from a residence.
01:28:09.000
After looking at surveillance footage, they found probable cause to charge Miller, who was issued a citation to show up in Vermont Superior Court for arraignment in late September.
01:28:23.000
It's breaking into your house and stealing your booze.
01:28:32.000
Well, the parents, the children were staying at Miller's property.
01:28:39.000
It says the repeated attempt, contact mother, apparently, resulted in police charging Miller with felony burglary.
01:28:44.000
This occurred after police found out that several surveillance footage, several bottles of alcohol were taken from a residence.
01:28:58.000
After looking at surveillance footage, they found the probable cause to charge Miller.
01:29:12.000
Imagine somebody that's rich stealing anything from you.
01:29:17.000
What do those two things have to do with each other?
01:29:19.000
So the child, the mother and the children, who knows what that is?
01:29:43.000
A source alleged that one child picked up a stray bullet and put it in her mouth.
01:29:47.000
A social worker visited the home and told the children's father that they looked good, yet there was more work to do.
01:29:57.000
Yeah, it sounded to me like people rented his house, and then some shit was happening at his house, and he's trying to get involved, but that does not seem like what was really happening.
01:30:37.000
Yeah, that stuff is turpentine Megan loves that doesn't make any sense.
01:30:44.000
It tastes like turpentine I think it's nasty, but she likes it.
01:30:49.000
I don't know, some people just like really fucking strong alcohol.
01:31:08.000
If you want, we can break out some smelling salts.
01:32:26.000
No, they use it like power lifters use it before they attempt a big lift.
01:33:06.000
The rest of this episode is going to turn to me smelling stuff.
01:34:20.000
Folks at home, you can hear Brian Simpson's in the hallway moaning.
01:34:39.000
It smells to me that I just remember pool water.
01:34:58.000
The package that came in the mail, it was smelling through that.
01:35:10.000
I was thinking, do this and go on stage, but I never did.
01:35:14.000
You go on stage, people are like, what drugs are you on?
01:35:20.000
I don't know if I've ever regretted something so quick.
01:35:29.000
That shit, it burned my whole shit, like all up in my side.
01:35:33.000
Is this supposed to be the same as the other ones we got?
01:35:42.000
They take a sniff of that shit and then lift weights.
01:35:54.000
Bro, my eyes were watering when I opened up the bag.
01:35:57.000
Just when I tore the top of the bag, my eyes started watering.
01:36:08.000
Bro, y'all don't even know what I was just going through.
01:36:13.000
Like, I don't know what the fuck was wrong with me.
01:36:24.000
So the whole time I was suffering, I was feeling like an idiot.
01:36:27.000
Oh, I felt like an idiot too because I had done it before on the ones that were not as potent.
01:36:39.000
It was just like the highest selling one on Amazon.
01:36:43.000
It says they use an advanced polymer to bring the strongest and longest lasting formulation yet.
01:36:49.000
Maybe it lasts longer, because this one, after a while, it does die off.
01:36:58.000
Like, I think it's bothering me just sitting here.
01:37:00.000
Yeah, I don't give a fuck what that one smells like.
01:37:43.000
But it's crazy because the ones that we had before, they were like one-tenth of that.
01:37:50.000
I'm worried we're going to throw the smell in salt.
01:38:03.000
I had my eyes closed shut, and I heard you go, wah!
01:38:16.000
It's probably like 50 times worse than the last one.
01:38:19.000
And the worst shit is when you hurt yourself and you can only blame yourself.
01:38:25.000
What did they figure out that makes it so fucking strong that nobody else has?
01:38:31.000
Man, that, you know, maybe this is the best advertisement for it.
01:38:34.000
That's the strongest shit I've ever smelled, ever.
01:38:37.000
But, Jamie, this is the same one as the other ones.
01:38:45.000
Sometimes you break it up and you put too much in the left one and the one on the right gets all the less.
01:38:49.000
Like, if they start mixing that shit with cocaine, people will quit cocaine overnight.
01:38:52.000
I 100% thought that I was going to see blood in this tissue when I just blew my nose.
01:39:02.000
The thing is, I was breathing, but I felt like I wasn't breathing.
01:39:13.000
You guys went close, and you're supposed to go.
01:39:17.000
Yeah, where was all that information fucking ten minutes ago?
01:39:21.000
Now you weren't listening to me saying, don't go that deep.
01:39:31.000
That's like when they told us to stay six feet away for COVID. Right.
01:39:35.000
That just sounds like a number that somebody just threw out there.
01:39:50.000
I'm telling you, Joe, somebody's going to remix this episode, and they're going to constantly be playing, you going, just suck on it, and then us sniffing these fucking...
01:39:58.000
And it's going to turn into, they're going to put a beat to it.
01:40:08.000
Memes, to me, that's some of my favorite laughs of the day.
01:40:26.000
You know, you show somebody a meme in 10 years with no context and they just don't get it.
01:40:37.000
And some of them, they just get everywhere, like the dude with the big dick sitting on the side of the bed.
01:40:42.000
Because the pictures can be used for so many things.
01:40:48.000
And there's some people out there that really be, you know, they really good at making a good meme.
01:40:52.000
Anytime someone gets fucked up, anytime something happens, someone falls down, someone does that meme of me with the microphone there.
01:41:01.000
Wherever they come from, somebody always takes credit and they don't get paid.
01:41:04.000
Well, there's all these pages that are just dedicated to memes, and they just find them, you know, on Reddit or wherever they get them from, on 4chan, and they just post them everywhere.
01:41:18.000
Yeah, and now everyone with a sense of humor has a folder dedicated to memes.
01:41:23.000
Some people are quick with them too, like when my friends send me them sometimes.
01:41:28.000
Just sitting there, do you have them categorized?
01:41:36.000
But don't you think it got bigger during the pandemic?
01:41:40.000
You know what I think happened is I think there were memes that were more universal.
01:41:45.000
Like we all shared more stuff than we normally, you know what I mean?
01:41:52.000
If that wasn't for the pandemic, that would have been kind of popular, but everyone wouldn't have seen it.
01:42:03.000
I thought he was going to, but I think he probably said some shit about Trump in the past.
01:42:09.000
Because it's wild that he wouldn't do it, because so many people wanted him to.
01:42:34.000
I think it is his account, because they messaged me on that.
01:42:37.000
It said, someone better start doing reform because they and their families are supporting me because you never keep your promises.
01:42:52.000
That guy, I mean, what a weird cultural phenomenon, right?
01:42:56.000
Everyone's locked in their home, and then all of a sudden there's this wacky reality show about a dude who collects tigers, and everybody's telling you you have to see it.
01:43:05.000
It was great, but they just caught lightning in a bottle.
01:43:17.000
I mean, they've had a couple hits, too, though.
01:43:27.000
State sends back his paperwork because he's not on the presidential ballot in Colorado.
01:43:41.000
Yeah, my right nostril's still a little lit up.
01:43:47.000
Well, I think it's just a central nervous stimulant.
01:43:50.000
The idea is that you get that jolt of it and your whole body's like, ah!
01:43:59.000
I don't know if people fainting, they used to break it out when you faint.
01:44:07.000
Now you got a concussion and you can't breathe.
01:44:17.000
And people would take amyl nitrate and they would pop it under their nose and sniff it.
01:44:28.000
Vasodilator is a medicine to cause blood vessels in the body to dilate and involuntary smooth muscles to relax, lowering blood pressure and loosening up that booty hole.
01:44:40.000
Apparently that was a big thing in the gay community and contributed to...
01:44:50.000
I think amyl nitrate, I think it gives you brain damage.
01:44:58.000
Oh, so if you get cyanide poisoning, you crack one of those babies?
01:45:02.000
I don't know if people get cyanide poisoning these days.
01:45:04.000
I remember there was always the fucking spy that had a fake tooth.
01:45:13.000
Yeah, so it's VCR head cleaner is what they sell.
01:45:20.000
So it's like if you go into a porn store or an adult store, it's the only thing in there that'll help that's a VCR product.
01:45:40.000
Well, bath salts was a drug, like an amphetamine type drug, like a designer drug that they were selling that you could buy at like fucking 7-Eleven.
01:45:50.000
You'd buy at like a supermarket or like a convenience store, gas station store.
01:45:55.000
And these things, they would say, not for human consumption, bath salts.
01:45:59.000
And it was like an amphetamine and people were smoking it.
01:46:04.000
I remember bath salts being a thing, but I never was into it.
01:46:08.000
Well, it was in the news because some dude was on bath salts and he ate some guy's face.
01:46:13.000
Yeah, but that wasn't in them not being because of the bath salts.
01:46:24.000
If you're already prone to some kind of delusional shit, it's just going to make it worse.
01:46:31.000
I think it was more than one different chemical because it's not regulated.
01:46:43.000
Probably all that bath salts would get into your skin from the warm water.
01:46:57.000
Well, if you did it that way, if you did pour it into hot water, it would most likely get in your holes for sure.
01:47:13.000
Does it just make you want to It's like an amphetamine.
01:47:15.000
Cathinone is a monoamine alkaloid found in the shrub cathos edulis and is chemically similar to ephedrine.
01:47:47.000
I wonder how many people bought it and thought it was actual bath salts and poured it in the bath.
01:48:01.000
Because if it says bath salts, some really fucking stupid person doesn't know.
01:48:06.000
They're breaking into buildings to get that shit back in 2011. The bath salts?
01:48:11.000
Yeah, that's why if you mention that a drug is killing people.
01:48:19.000
What was K2? An herb-like substance that people smoked instead of weed that they sprayed shit on.
01:48:28.000
And then they kept changing what they were spraying on every so often because it would get outlawed.
01:48:39.000
Then people were like, oh, is it like this salvia shit that we're smoking?
01:48:47.000
I've done salvia once, and I... Salvia is real.
01:48:56.000
Salvia might be the strongest, in terms of its effect, maybe the strongest drug I've ever taken.
01:49:01.000
Do you know that salvia is either in the family of sage, or what do you want?
01:49:12.000
Like, salvia divinorum, I think is, which is interesting, because, you know, sage, we've always thought of, like, wise old sage, like some ancient wisdom, and the fact that it's actually a psychedelic.
01:49:29.000
It's known as, it's just called diviner sage or seer sage.
01:49:35.000
I mean, it's a plant, it's a shrub, I don't know.
01:49:42.000
But that stuff, you used to be able to buy it everywhere.
01:49:47.000
Dude, so the first time I did it, I remember, like, I thought that my body had shattered into, like, little millions of mini-me's, and I was, like, panicking trying to keep myself together in one...
01:50:13.000
And so that's a different kind of salvia that's sage?
01:50:16.000
Yeah, that must be like salvia has got to be some sort of...
01:50:24.000
Man, you know that people use that drug to like try to be shaman.
01:50:36.000
There was a girl with me doing it the first time I did it, and she wanted to do hers in the bathtub filled with pillows.
01:50:44.000
They put her in there, and she took the hit, and we closed the door, and she screamed for like 30 seconds.
01:50:50.000
She thought she was falling in a bottomless pit.
01:50:53.000
See, the thing about salvia is this is why salvia is so powerful, because it's the only drug I've ever taken where it is impossible for you to realize that you're on drugs.
01:51:06.000
It only lasts for 30 seconds or so, but you think that shit is happening.
01:51:12.000
There's no doubt in your mind, there's no point where you can stop and be like, it's okay, I'm on salvia.
01:51:16.000
If you do too many mushrooms, you're like, I'm just real high.
01:51:25.000
Somebody kicked me into the pit from 300. Oh my god.
01:51:29.000
Did you ever see the video of Ari where he took Salvia on Red Band's show?
01:51:35.000
He took Salvia on Red Band's show and said he lived another life for months.
01:51:39.000
He said he had friends, he went to work, he had relationships, all this different shit, and then he woke up.
01:51:58.000
He was taking bong rips and he didn't take the first one good enough so he took another hit and then this is the start of a 5 minute video where he just starts slipping away.
01:52:08.000
Yeah, he just went into another dimension, lived a different life.
01:52:11.000
That's when he starts coming back is where things start getting real different.
01:52:17.000
What if there's, like, multiple Brian Simpsons living in multiple realms all over the world right now?
01:52:26.000
It's you just connecting to your different bodies.
01:52:29.000
Connecting to your consciousness to different portals.
01:52:32.000
Yeah, well, I think there's a lot to that belief that, like, The fact that we are all separate beings is an illusion.
01:52:38.000
You're just a little piece that's living a little piece, but you're connected to everything.
01:52:43.000
Do you think that there's a purpose to this struggle then?
01:52:47.000
If we're all connected in some ways, what is everyone struggling?
01:52:59.000
What's the overall purpose of that if we're all connected?
01:53:10.000
The need for things to mean something, you know?
01:53:14.000
It's like when you see a When you see a shark eat a, or you see a killer whale eat a seal, you don't go, what does it mean?
01:53:33.000
Right, but the thing that's happening with human beings with this struggle and this, like, conquering resources and all the different...
01:53:41.000
One of the things they're doing is they're constantly creating new and better things.
01:53:46.000
And it seems like an overall purpose of the human race.
01:53:50.000
I just wonder if somehow or another that competition is what facilitates this increase in technology and innovation.
01:53:59.000
Part of it is because of the fact that we don't get along.
01:54:05.000
Well human beings, we need competition to survive.
01:54:11.000
If you were ever in charge of a big group of people, the best thing to do is to break them into two teams and keep score.
01:54:27.000
That's why America was never more together than the month after 9-11.
01:54:34.000
And we all feel justified because we don't know better.
01:54:37.000
Remember the American flags in everybody's car?
01:54:41.000
You have people listening to country music they never have.
01:54:48.000
So it's like, I think that's just how people are built up.
01:54:52.000
You have, you know, it's like, well, obviously we're all the same unit.
01:54:57.000
We're all the same big unit with the same mission.
01:54:59.000
But, you know, it's your company versus my company.
01:55:03.000
It's your squad versus my squad within the platoon.
01:55:05.000
And it's like the competition, it pushes people.
01:55:14.000
When you watch another person triumph, you're like, you feel it.
01:55:26.000
But man, that moment, we lost our shit in there, man.
01:55:31.000
And we were all looking at a laptop screen and everybody was like, ah!
01:55:35.000
And then the speech he gave afterwards, everything was just so perfect, and you felt that.
01:55:43.000
Yeah, he's like, I just wish you could have this feeling.
01:55:53.000
The best of the world, redemption, overcoming the demon, revenge.
01:56:03.000
He triumphed over like three things in that one moment.
01:56:05.000
And he triumphed over the guy stylistically, which is the most dangerous opponent for him.
01:56:26.000
The greatest part was the arrows, when he shot the arrows into his body.
01:56:30.000
What was so beautiful about that moment to me is he won in the same position that he lost the last time.
01:56:37.000
The last time he got in that position where he was getting wailed on up against the fence, he lost.
01:56:42.000
And then he got put back right in that same position and had a fucking plan for it.
01:56:57.000
Yeah, there's tons of video of him with his back to a wall in training throwing that right hand.
01:57:29.000
But that's also the same right hand that he landed at the end of the first round.
01:57:32.000
So the end of the first round, in the first MMA fight, he had Paeda in real trouble.
01:57:40.000
It's basically he had him in the same trouble he had him with the first right hand where he knocked him out in the second fight.
01:57:46.000
Because it was the second shot that put him away.
01:57:47.000
The first shot rocks him, the second shot puts him away, and then the hammer fits him.
01:57:50.000
And they actually have a lot of respect for each other.
01:57:54.000
But the thing is, I always feel bad for the foreign fighters.
01:58:01.000
We're fighters where English is not their first language when it comes to the shit-talking game.
01:58:05.000
Because it's so cultural, and if you're not immersed enough in American culture, that trash talk...
01:58:14.000
Because Paheo's probably saying some shit where, like, if you speak Portuguese, you're like, Paheo talking this shit.
01:58:24.000
He's like, oh, a man with two horses has more...
01:58:33.000
But over here, it's like, you can't talk shit with Izzy in English because you can't keep up.
01:58:42.000
I mean, his draw is just his destruction ability.
01:58:51.000
Anderson Silva said he thought it was a mistake.
01:58:56.000
It said Anderson Silva thought it was a mistake for him to move up to 205, which is interesting because I don't know if that's necessarily true.
01:59:07.000
Because Izzy, you know, had him in some real bad positions in that first fight.
01:59:12.000
Anderson Silva, not a fan of Pajeda's move to 205. He wanted Pajeda to win back the middleweight title before moving to light heavyweight.
01:59:28.000
At a certain age, your body just does not want to do that anymore.
01:59:32.000
You're killing yourself one day before a cage fight.
01:59:36.000
I was over getting punched in the face in my 20s.
01:59:39.000
The last time I got punched in the face, I was like, I don't like that.
01:59:43.000
Especially getting punched in the face by that guy or either one of those guys.
01:59:46.000
He's facing Jan Bohovic, which is a fucking wild fight.
02:00:07.000
Well, I think, you know, if you look at the Glover to share a fight, that's a fight where he, you know, you could say he didn't show up, but I don't think that's the case.
02:00:18.000
Yeah, I mean, especially that was like Glover's kind of last swan song.
02:00:29.000
I would say he didn't seem as locked in as he did when he fought Isis.
02:00:34.000
I think, I genuinely think that that's just how good Glover is.
02:00:40.000
He's just in his 40s, but he's still a fucking animal, man.
02:00:45.000
And in that fight, when he won the title, he was stellar.
02:00:48.000
I mean, if you watch the performance, you watch how he catches Jan with a left hand, how he takes him down, how he takes his back, I mean...
02:00:58.000
Do you think he's going to be done these times soon?
02:01:03.000
Yeah, Glover retired after Jamal Hill boxed him up.
02:01:06.000
Jamal Hill showed him, I think, that at the top of the light heavyweight division now, these young guys, especially a talented striker like Jamal, it's just too much.
02:01:15.000
Fighting more than any other sport, the UFC moves the fastest in terms of the next generation adopting...
02:01:24.000
Yeah, because I seriously believe it's true of fighting, comedy, whatever.
02:01:28.000
I think the current generation's Amazing becomes the next generation's basics, right?
02:01:37.000
And then they build, and then that becomes their basics, and so the amazing shit they do is even more amazing.
02:01:44.000
Where it's like, I remember seeing Michael Jordan, when he went up on one side of the basket, brought it back down, and came back, and I had never seen anybody do that before.
02:01:53.000
And now, you can't even be in the NBA if you can't do that.
02:01:55.000
If you're a point guard in the NBA, you have to be able to do that.
02:02:05.000
You know, Michael Jordan had a brother who was a bad motherfucker.
02:02:09.000
Well, a lot of Michael's moves you see his brother do.
02:02:20.000
I don't know whatever happened with him if he played professionally.
02:02:23.000
I don't know what happened, but the dude was fucking good.
02:02:28.000
But the other thing we were saying yesterday, imagine having that brother as a sparring partner.
02:02:35.000
But also imagine him not being famous too in some way.
02:02:40.000
It's like, for me to not know who he was until just now.
02:02:48.000
Maybe he should have the Children's Jordans or something like that.
02:02:59.000
Some people just want everybody to do it for themselves.
02:03:05.000
A lot of people don't realize, because you have the power, you can make someone famous.
02:03:10.000
You know, I've seen you do it to several people, but some people don't realize that, like, some people that think they want that don't realize what actually comes with it.
02:03:20.000
Right, so it's like, you know, maybe he just protected him from that.
02:03:23.000
It was like, you don't need to be famous, I'll take care of you, but you don't want that.
02:03:32.000
He played professional basketball, but he's not in the NBA. There you go.
02:03:45.000
You only live a certain amount of time in this world.
02:03:52.000
You don't want to be the famous person with a job.
02:03:54.000
To handle being famous, you have to have enough money to protect yourself from the negative side of it.
02:04:03.000
Well, that's why famous reality stars are fucked.
02:04:07.000
You're not rich enough to deal with being famous.
02:04:13.000
And then sometimes they're famous for a little while, and then they're not on TV anymore, and then they have regular jobs.
02:04:19.000
I remember there was a couple of those guys from like the real world where, you know, they were infamous on the real world and then they're just out there in the wild with no money.
02:04:29.000
You remember the rude gay guy from season four?
02:04:31.000
Yeah, he just delivered, he just dropped off my package.
02:04:36.000
But, you know, there's nothing wrong with that.
02:04:38.000
Working a nine-to-five is an honorable, respectable fucking thing.
02:04:45.000
I feel sorry for the generation of young folks that want to be known, but they don't care what they're known for.
02:04:59.000
If your friend has 100,000 Instagram followers, and you have 120,000, and you guys are battling it out, To see who's a bigger influencer.
02:05:09.000
And you're doing stunts and shit at the mall and pranks.
02:05:13.000
You know how Spotify will pay per listen, per play, and YouTube will pay per views, right?
02:05:24.000
TikTok has a pool of money That only goes to the top 500 people or something like that.
02:05:31.000
So it's just a fixed amount of money that only goes to the top people.
02:05:35.000
And the top 10, number one gets paid the most, number two gets paid the second most, and so on and so forth.
02:05:43.000
And there's people on there that have lost their minds because they went from number one to number two.
02:05:53.000
When you start ranking people, that was the downfall of MySpace.
02:06:02.000
The big change in social media was when Facebook started showing you stuff from people that you didn't know.
02:06:13.000
Remember at first, MySpace and Facebook was, it was just your friends, and if I wanted to know something about what was going on with you, I had to go to your page and look at what you posted on your page.
02:06:23.000
Then they started just showing you things from your friends' pages, so you didn't have to do that.
02:06:28.000
Then they started showing you stuff from other people.
02:06:39.000
They start showing you stuff from strangers, and that's what changed everything.
02:06:44.000
You make one little funny little thing, and you can be known.
02:06:47.000
How about that one dude that just has facial reactions to things?
02:07:01.000
It's like he's doing exactly, he's thinking what we're thinking.
02:07:05.000
And the fact that it's perfectly, like it's a perfect medium for it.
02:07:10.000
Those little short TikTok videos, little short reels.
02:07:13.000
Yeah, a lot of people got rich during the pandemic off of being entertaining.
02:07:18.000
But that's also like, just where we're talking memes is a different kind of comedy.
02:07:32.000
You don't have your shit sent to go to voicemail if you don't know who they are?
02:07:37.000
No, but I thought I had my shit on Do Not Disturb.
02:07:46.000
It's on Do Not Disturb, so they must have called multiple times.
02:07:50.000
It's probably some scammer trying to tell you about a fortune that you're missing out on.
02:07:56.000
Most of my phone calls, you know, my mom is the only person that calls me.
02:08:36.000
And we didn't solve it on the pod, but we came up with the solution.
02:08:41.000
You have to have seen my dick or interacted with my dick.
02:08:46.000
For you to just FaceTime me unsolicited, that covers wife, kids, medical professionals.
02:08:52.000
That's the only people that should be best friends.
02:08:56.000
That should be the only people contacting me, FaceTime, without warning me first.
02:09:02.000
Yeah, if it's someone that's a casual acquaintance and they FaceTime, unless they have a good friend of yours with you.
02:09:08.000
Yeah, because if you FaceTime me, that means I can't do anything else while I'm talking to you.
02:09:13.000
You know, if I'm just talking to you audio, I can be still doing other stuff.
02:09:18.000
It's like, okay, I'm taking your time and, you know, you can't multitask.
02:09:26.000
Only FaceTime me if it's something for me to see.
02:09:28.000
We don't need to be looking at each other to talk to each other.
02:09:32.000
And you're holding that thing up in front of me, like, okay.
02:09:37.000
Man, I stopped trying to think of clever little lies.
02:09:40.000
I was like, hey, man, I'm gonna go ahead and get up off of here.
02:09:48.000
So if I get a FaceTime from an Apple thing, I can just click a link and FaceTime them.
02:09:53.000
But Google has Google Meet and then there's Discord.
02:09:58.000
What was the shit that got popular during the pandemic?
02:10:10.000
I don't think I can do it the other way around.
02:10:11.000
I don't think I can send you a Google Meet link.
02:10:16.000
That's why I figured out thumbs up or liking the text messages on both of us now.
02:10:24.000
It's just Apple holding that walled garden, right?
02:10:26.000
They won't allow you to send iMessages on any other device.
02:10:31.000
Then you would just get a Samsung phone and send iMessages to your Apple friends.
02:10:35.000
Alright, I'm gonna try to FaceTime you from here.
02:10:40.000
Don't call it FaceTime, though, because it's a bullshit Google thing.
02:10:53.000
Some apps, you get a phone call on an app and it just shows up like your phone's ringing and you're like, hold on, what is this?
02:11:12.000
How close have you come to switching to the dark side?
02:11:17.000
I really, really thought about it the other day.
02:11:33.000
There is a certain kind of collar that I could force her to keep on.
02:11:47.000
Because Samsung has this version of AirTags called SmartTags.
02:11:50.000
But the way they work is they don't actually have GPS on themselves.
02:11:56.000
They just connect to any nearby Samsung or Apple device.
02:12:03.000
So it'll ping and it'll let the nearest iPhone device...
02:12:11.000
Basically, if you get an invite going, your AirTag is here.
02:12:14.000
It means someone with an iPhone walked past that place.
02:12:39.000
It's just less chances that I'll get an accurate location of where she is.
02:12:44.000
I really seriously thought about it because I'm serious about my cat.
02:12:55.000
Also, you don't want your cat to have to wear a collar if it's going to piss her off.
02:13:01.000
She don't even like, she don't like being constrained in any way.
02:13:06.000
And people try to come over like, no, I'm real good with cats.
02:13:38.000
Yeah, there's not a whole lot of coyotes in Austin proper either.
02:13:48.000
Remember that documentary I told you about the coy wolves?
02:13:53.000
They were talking about how there are coyotes in every major city.
02:13:59.000
They're so good at staying in the shadows and hiding, but they're everywhere.
02:14:04.000
There's a great book on it called Coyote America.
02:14:11.000
And are they, are they just a, why don't they kill them?
02:14:16.000
This is the thing, like, when they killed off the wolves, the wolves were the one thing that was kind of keeping the coyotes, what would happen is, gray wolves and coyotes don't breed, but coyotes breed with red wolves, which are East Coast wolves.
02:14:30.000
So the coy wolves that you see are predominantly They're East Coast wolves that breed with coyotes.
02:14:43.000
It's a different, I guess, a genus or subspecies.
02:14:47.000
I'm not sure exactly what the term would be, but it's a different animal.
02:14:56.000
And when coyotes get killed, what happens is they do roll call when they scream out at night sometimes.
02:15:02.000
And when one of them's missing, it forces the female to have more babies.
02:15:10.000
And so through persecution, like when they're trying to get them out of places, what they've made them do is expand to everywhere.
02:15:18.000
And now coyotes are in every single city in North America.
02:15:30.000
It's like it's happened over the course of time, where they keep trying to say, get out of my lawn, bang, bang, they shoot them, and then the female coyote have more babies, and then you've got a bigger problem.
02:15:42.000
But the way he was explaining it, it's an evolutionary thing, because gray wolves, when they encountered coyotes, they would kill them.
02:15:49.000
And so coyotes, in order to compete with the larger, more vicious gray wolves, they just had to have more babies.
02:15:57.000
So they expand their territory and they have more babies.
02:15:59.000
So this strategy of, like, persecuting them and chasing them down and killing them, it just makes more coyotes.
02:16:04.000
But isn't there not enough food for more coyotes?
02:16:12.000
I mean, in LA, that's like probably the number one reason why dogs and cats go missing.
02:16:17.000
And if they're hungry enough, they'll walk right up to you and take your dog.
02:16:20.000
Oh yeah, they snatch them off people's leashes.
02:16:27.000
You ain't gonna stop that thing from running off with your poodle.
02:16:30.000
And the thing is, if you was to hurt one of those coyotes, even if it was attacking your dog, people would still be like...
02:16:39.000
Yeah, people are weird when they don't have a real understanding of what wild animals are.
02:16:44.000
They just have this anthropomorphized Disney version of what animals are until you encounter one.
02:16:50.000
You hear about that guy in Arizona a couple days ago that got eaten by a bear?
02:16:54.000
He got killed by a bear while he was having coffee.
02:16:56.000
He's just camping out, having a good time, and this bear just runs up on him and starts fucking him up, and no one had a gun.
02:17:17.000
Arizona man was mauled to death by a black bear in a rare unprovoked attack.
02:17:21.000
So he's just out there camping and the guy just fucking drinking his coffee and this bear runs up on him.
02:17:27.000
From multiple witness accounts and preliminary investigation of the scene, Mr. Jackson had been sitting having a coffee at a table on his property where he was building a home.
02:17:39.000
So the camper is just like where he's operating on.
02:17:41.000
The sheriff's office said in a Facebook post, adding, Oh, so some guy did shoot him.
02:18:02.000
But unfortunately, at that time, Mr. Jackson succumbed to his horrible injuries.
02:18:09.000
Black bears are more likely to be predatory attacks.
02:18:16.000
You gotta probably run back to his house and get the gun.
02:18:26.000
So if that bear was predatory, that means that bear was really hungry.
02:18:34.000
That's one of the scariest things on the planet.
02:18:36.000
Well, if the dude had coffee, maybe he had breakfast before he had coffee and the smell of the breakfast was coming out of his little camper.
02:18:44.000
They burn things and put things in the air to get the bears to come.
02:18:50.000
When they bait them with like donuts and shit like that.
02:18:52.000
They do that in certain places where it's heavily wooded areas.
02:18:55.000
And literally the only way to hunt black bears is to bait them.
02:19:00.000
And you consistently feed those bears at that spot all the time.
02:19:04.000
Like you drop by food, you know, every couple times a week.
02:19:11.000
And so then you go and you wait in front of that spot.
02:19:16.000
Yeah, but sometimes they're waiting on your ass.
02:19:20.000
Wasn't it you telling me about the whales that learn how to...?
02:19:22.000
Yeah, they've learned how to fuck people's boats up.
02:19:28.000
Because for all these years we've been mistreating them and finally they're like, enough!
02:19:36.000
And they're probably teaching every whale in the ocean how to do that shit.
02:19:40.000
I think it's only one part of the world where this is happening right now, but the problem is the word gets out.
02:19:44.000
Yeah, they have those songs they sing, and they go hundreds of kilometers, and that's how they tell each other.
02:19:52.000
Did you see that video of the people in a kayak and a whale swallows them?
02:19:56.000
These people are, like, they're whale watching, and there's a whale down there, and the whale literally swallows the entire kayak with the people in it.
02:20:12.000
Well, I think that's how they were whale watching.
02:20:37.000
I mean, hopefully you still got hope it'll spit you up.
02:20:55.000
I know it went viral again, which has been happening with quite a few videos.
02:21:00.000
You see all the fish that's in the water flapping around?
02:21:07.000
So the whales trying to eat the fish and these cocksuckers in this kind of...
02:21:24.000
I don't get these people that need life-risking activities.
02:21:35.000
Like, if going down to the bottom of the ocean in an experimental sub is number one, this is on that list.
02:21:42.000
Did you see the guy in the kayak that got attacked by a tiger shark?
02:21:47.000
He's in the kayak, rowing, and you see this tiger shark just engulf half the side of his boat.
02:22:21.000
That's the paddle is to the left, but his foot was in there, too.
02:22:26.000
Oh, so he was, like, waving it like this, and he thought the shark thought it was food?
02:22:29.000
Yeah, the shark probably thought it was a seal or some shit.
02:22:56.000
Do you know about the dude in Egypt that got eaten?
02:23:00.000
It was one of the bottom of the barrel tops, but I didn't know what the fuck they were talking about.
02:23:09.000
Netflix crew's whole boat exploded after back-to-back shark attacks in Hawaii.
02:23:16.000
I think they were filming it, so we'll probably not see it until...
02:23:20.000
Oh, Our Planet 2, so that would probably be really good.
02:23:26.000
So it was a shark attack, a shark attack, and then the boat exploded.
02:23:30.000
Yeah, if it exploded because of the gas, then yeah, that's right out of Jaws.
02:23:35.000
Is it saying it exploded, or are they saying it just fell apart?
02:23:40.000
Can you scroll back down a little bit in there?
02:23:43.000
Nolan said the crew was only about 328 feet from the shore, so they were able to make it safer to land, though barely.
02:23:49.000
On land, they patched up the boat and deployed a rubber dinghy.
02:23:52.000
That was attacked by giant trevalles, marine fishes that can grow up to 6 feet long and weigh more than 100 pounds.
02:24:04.000
The behavior of the sharks they encountered was extremely unusual, Nolan told Radio Times.
02:24:09.000
They were incredibly hungry, so there might not have been enough natural food and they were just trying anything that came across in the water.
02:24:17.000
It said it was just released, so it should be out.
02:24:24.000
The Egyptian guy's rough, because he's screaming for his dad.
02:24:27.000
He's, like, yelling, Papa, while he's getting eaten alive by sharks, just, like, 100 yards offshore.
02:24:39.000
Someone had told me that that area that they had dumped sheep carcasses into the ocean in that area?
02:24:48.000
I think they just wanted to get rid of the sheep carcasses.
02:25:31.000
Oh, they're not showing the video of the actual attack?
02:26:42.000
Because the sub people either died instantly or they died falling asleep, running out of air.
02:26:50.000
But that right there, there's terror mixed in with that.
02:26:58.000
It's also terror that your loved ones are watching you get eaten.
02:27:01.000
Yeah, but the one in the sub is dying with his son.
02:27:13.000
I'm gonna go to the bottom of the ocean like a fucking explorer.
02:27:19.000
I'm reading about the shark attack in Hawaii with the Netflix crew.
02:27:22.000
They were in an area where they were tracking baby albatross chicks, and they had an idea to get a good shot of tiger sharks who were about to feed on them.
02:27:39.000
It says the crew panicked and then made an emergency landing on the sand.
02:27:53.000
Yeah, especially don't go out in a boat that they can destroy.
02:27:57.000
I mean, how many times do people have to see people in shark cages where the shark just slams into the cage and blows it to pieces?
02:28:07.000
Like, just the natural mathematics of the universe are deadly to us.
02:28:11.000
You being on land is like one of the handfuls of advantages you have as a human being.
02:28:21.000
Anything where you gotta leave the surface is you're taking unnecessary risk that goes against everything.
02:28:30.000
You got all the disadvantages in the water, in space.
02:28:36.000
But those surfers, the way they describe that feeling of riding that wave out there on the power of the ocean.
02:28:44.000
You know what I've never heard somebody describe?
02:28:57.000
They see us doing stand-up and they go, I could never do that.
02:29:12.000
I bet that has to be what it's like, because they're all kind of peaceful people.
02:29:17.000
There's something about surfing that just brings about, like, there's a spiritual connection to the ocean.
02:29:29.000
But the really good ones, the ones that I've met that are really good, they're like, that's a special mindset.
02:29:34.000
Like the Shane Dorians and the Laird Hamiltons.
02:29:41.000
Remember the guy, I know you had him on, the free climbing guy?
02:29:57.000
Probably the humility that comes with being in the ocean all the time.
02:30:00.000
I mean, if you're literally floating on a piece of styrofoam, that's fucking...
02:30:07.000
You have so much humility because you're completely powerless.
02:30:11.000
All you're doing is using your own balance to try to ride the energy of this insane force that's behind you.
02:30:22.000
Because no matter how awesome you are as a human being, you're nothing compared to just the power of the thing you ride every day.
02:30:29.000
And you have to be able to be calm in one of the most terrifying situations.
02:30:33.000
Yeah, you got to keep your shit together when there's a hundred foot wave over you.
02:30:42.000
I feel the same way watching The Fighters, where I'm like, yo, how did you keep it together when like...
02:30:48.000
You've been in that choke hold for three seconds.
02:30:59.000
It's like they're still thinking when most people would panic.
02:31:09.000
I watch a YouTube video of a motherfucker just putting bricks together.
02:31:23.000
Yeah, I love watching people do things with their hands.
02:31:26.000
Craftsmanship, making watches and shit, little tiny microscope and they're fucking moving little pieces and gears around.
02:31:32.000
Just somebody that's dedicated their life to something.
02:31:42.000
You hear the real life stories of different heists and shit.
02:31:52.000
When it comes to bank heists, that's why I'm interested in this SBF thing.
02:31:58.000
Apparently, I just looked at it, and we might have got memed out of the actual headline.
02:32:04.000
The memes on the Twitter space were going that he might get all charges dropped.
02:32:10.000
13 down to eight now, and he's still going on trial.
02:32:17.000
They could have maybe got overzealous with so many charges that they just kept throwing things down, and now this team got it down to accurate charges or something.
02:32:26.000
Because I'm sure when they go to bring in a person like that, they probably double and triple down on charges.
02:32:30.000
One article says it's been worded as temporarily suspended charges.
02:32:36.000
Man, that motherfucker ain't going to prison, man.
02:32:39.000
Maybe he'll go to a nice country cup for a little bit.
02:32:58.000
As a caveat, the only time I've ever seen someone with that much money go to prison is when they fuck with other rich people's money.
02:33:07.000
Bernie Madoff, the guy from Enron, was he fucking with rich people?
02:33:13.000
She was sentenced to 135 months, 11 years, 3 months in federal prison for defrauding investors in Theranos.
02:33:24.000
She's probably still going to go to one of those nice ones.
02:33:30.000
She pumped out a couple of kids before she went in, which is crazy.
02:33:33.000
Imagine having babies knowing you face in prison.
02:33:38.000
And I think people like that would think if I have a kid, maybe they're less likely to lock me up for a long time because they know I'm a mother.
02:33:44.000
And listen, y'all might not want to hear this out, but listen.
02:33:48.000
Every billionaire should have a couple of hood dudes on staff because there's a certain kind of bullshit that only they can detect.
02:34:00.000
If you'd have had a Freddie Gibbs with you when you talked to that bitch, or like David Lucas, he would have known right away she was full of shit.
02:34:12.000
Well, a lot of people knew she was full of shit.
02:34:16.000
Even people inside the company knew she was full of shit.
02:34:25.000
Their culture is so much like respect and bowing and respect.
02:34:28.000
But so they have an American, like a designated American on staff at the big companies.
02:34:35.000
Because they know he'll say shit that everybody else won't.
02:34:40.000
People are like, ah, he's American, but he's right though.
02:34:44.000
I watch a thing on Netflix where they play the black boxes.
02:34:48.000
They do reenactments of plane crashes from the 80s.
02:34:51.000
And one of the problems back then was that the captain of an airplane was like the captain of a ship.
02:34:57.000
So half of the crashes were because some lower person wasn't empowered to say something.
02:35:03.000
Do you know that's why they switched Korean airlines?
02:35:08.000
Yeah, because in Korea, there's a very specific way of talking to people that are higher above you or more respectful.
02:35:17.000
And then there's boundaries, cultural boundaries, that are very difficult to transcend.
02:35:22.000
But when you're speaking English, They don't have, that sort of same hierarchy doesn't exist in the language.
02:35:29.000
And so they realize, this is from, I think it was Malcolm Gladwell's book, where they describe how they, to get over this problem, they started making them speak English.
02:35:43.000
So like in Korean, you say thank you differently to a superior than you would to a stranger than you would to a regular person.
02:35:50.000
Yeah, you wouldn't question the superior if they said, you know, we're in this direction.
02:35:59.000
So a lot of, not all of them, but a lot of them, they have an American for that reason.
02:36:03.000
This is his book's illustration for the examples, so I don't know that that makes this better, but this is what the book said, I guess.
02:36:10.000
So, at the end of the 90s, Korean Air had more plane crashes than almost any other airline around the globe.
02:36:15.000
Cockpit miscommunication has been a persistent factor in these accidents.
02:36:18.000
For example, the Korean Air Flight 801 crash was attributed to the pilot's decision to land despite the junior officer's disagreement.
02:36:26.000
Evidence of high power distance, a culture that denotes Interesting.
02:36:54.000
Because if you were like, motherfucker, we out of fuel!
02:36:56.000
They would be like, oh, she's right, but when we land, you're fired.
02:37:14.000
They make some goddamn good barbecue over there, man.
02:37:22.000
I know you're not into esports, but half of the fucking esports teams are Korean.
02:37:28.000
Like, it'll be the London team, but half of them Korean.
02:37:35.000
You know, the Chinese always have their team, but most of the players on the top teams in the world of all esports are Korean players.
02:37:43.000
Because over there, there's not shame involved in the culture.
02:37:48.000
They literally have gaming cafes where you don't even own the computer.
02:37:59.000
Many students show up to morning classes sleep-deprived after hours of gaming.
02:38:04.000
So you should see how they're getting wrecked at night.
02:38:09.000
Yeah, it's a real career path, which is pretty wild.
02:38:21.000
I think League had the largest prize for World Champion.
02:38:31.000
Yeah, and they have the storylines and all of that.
02:38:52.000
They combine a power fantasy with an enjoyable gameplay loop.
02:39:10.000
There's a video of him in the chair and he just leans back.
02:39:13.000
And his head falls back and it looks like he's sleeping.
02:39:20.000
It might have been one of them Instagram things where I don't even know when it was.
02:39:23.000
The thing is, I'm not good if I don't wash my ass.
02:39:30.000
And people have let their children starve to death.
02:39:34.000
It's my side pastime, the thing I do when I'm trying to relax.
02:39:42.000
I took three days off and I played it for three days.
02:39:45.000
And I was like, okay, now I gotta focus back because I'm filming my special soon.
02:39:53.000
So I'm like, I've got to lock in on a special, but I was like, I love this game, and I'm just going to take some days and just enjoy it.
02:40:16.000
Yeah, it's either gaming or wrestling or something.
02:40:24.000
In this shit, it's like you're literally slaying hordes of demons from hell.
02:40:32.000
Depending on how you set up your character, you're hitting them with lightning bolts, you're hitting them with fireballs, you're chopping them to pieces.
02:40:42.000
Oh, so this is what you're seeing when you're playing?
02:40:52.000
Now, wouldn't it be more exciting to do this as a first player?
02:41:03.000
But Diablo's kind of a different thing because...
02:41:08.000
So the numbers are how much damage you're doing, but the different colors mean different hits.
02:41:18.000
Whatever you hit, you have a chance to do critical damage, which is like bonus 150% damage.
02:41:25.000
Yeah, the whole thing is you're killing monsters, they're dropping items, or you're opening chests, they're dropping items, the items make you stronger, or give you different powers, and you're trying to combine the right items to do bigger and bigger numbers.
02:41:40.000
And the more you play, the more items you get, so the more power you get.
02:41:50.000
Well, this is a real, real high-level guy, real deep into the game.
02:42:01.000
There's only 4,000 people that have hit level 100. So are those dudes chasing him, or are they fighting with him?
02:42:16.000
And sometimes if I'm on and he signs on and he sees I'm playing, he can just jump right in.
02:42:30.000
You can't really see it because he's killing them so fast, but sometimes he hits the monster and they turn purple.
02:42:37.000
It means they take more damage, but you can have other skills that do other shit when the monster's vulnerable, so I'll make everybody vulnerable, and Frank has some skill that exploits that, and so we kind of team it up.
02:42:59.000
And so, you know, they didn't send me no merch.
02:43:04.000
They're so good at making things, like, the more you play it, the more you get.
02:43:11.000
The perfect games are the ones where it's a power fantasy and a fun loop.
02:43:17.000
Because basically, you're playing hours and hours and you're doing the same thing over and over again.
02:43:37.000
So it's like, it's this big event and you level up and you're like, oh shit, now I can go put points into this power.
02:43:44.000
So you unlock points to put in the skill tree and you can change how your skills act and all of this other shit.
02:43:50.000
So it's like the options, the things to do are so varied and the loop is fun and you get rewarded at just the right intervals in that loop.
02:44:05.000
I'm getting anxiety just hearing you talk about it.
02:44:09.000
But I don't really have that addictive of a personality.
02:44:24.000
Yeah, EverQuest and then WoW kind of took that over, but EverQuest originally, I never got into that because I seen it ruin people's marriages.
02:44:31.000
And they came out with EverQuest 2. I seen that fuck people up.
02:44:34.000
You know, World of Warcraft, I stayed away from it.
02:45:00.000
So when you go sit down at that machine, they know, oh, you haven't played today.
02:45:06.000
You put your card in that machine and they let you, you know, the four rolls are random and that fifth one you win a little.
02:45:15.000
Because legally, someone has to win the jackpot every X amount of rolls.
02:45:19.000
They can go X amount of rolls, someone has to win.
02:45:22.000
So they set the machine up like that, but everything in between, it's just a game playing with you.
02:45:28.000
You play again, you win a lot more than that, but not a significant amount, and that is enough to hook you.
02:45:33.000
Now you're playing more and more, and you win a little, win a little, win a little, but if you sit there long enough, you're going to be out of money.
02:45:42.000
Yeah, and you people voluntarily sign up for it.
02:45:49.000
The color of the room, the way the room smells, the way it's set up.
02:45:55.000
You ever go to a casino for the first time, it's fucking confusing as fuck.
02:46:01.000
Everything's set up for you to spend money and feel comfortable doing it.
02:46:05.000
That's why they walk up and give you a couple drinks.
02:46:10.000
Did you see the girl at the poker machine that just pissed herself?
02:46:15.000
Apparently, people at casinos say it happens all the time.
02:46:17.000
People are gambling and they don't want to get up, so they just pee.
02:46:42.000
People are walking through grocery stores and shit falls out of their leg.
02:46:47.000
Yeah, I saw one where this guy pulled his pants down at a store and just shot rocket out of his asshole.
02:46:56.000
That's themskies, because you're not flushing that toilet.
02:46:58.000
I bet your anxiety is still higher, just not...
02:47:06.000
I mean, you might get dehydrated down there, too.
02:47:12.000
I mean, you can't go very many days without water.
02:47:22.000
You can probably make it like a month without food.
02:47:25.000
You can make it longer without food if you're fat.
02:47:34.000
Or I'll say you could even risk it and drink contaminated water in an emergency, right?
02:47:45.000
A retired Navy captain just brought up the point about how cold it probably is down there.
02:47:50.000
Because that doesn't probably have tons of insulation.
02:47:53.000
And where they're at, though, it says the water entirely is around the ship is at freezing or slightly below.
02:47:59.000
There's frost on the inside of the parts of the submarine.
02:48:01.000
They're all together trying to conserve body heat.
02:48:04.000
And they're running low on oxygen and breathing each other.
02:48:15.000
Yeah, because when we started the podcast, you said how many hours left?
02:48:20.000
They have until like 5 in the morning right now.
02:48:23.000
They have until 5 in the morning until they're out of oxygen.
02:48:25.000
Yeah, but what I'm saying is You have to account for how long it would take to bring them to the top and open the fucking thing.
02:48:34.000
So it's like they don't have till 5 in the morning.
02:48:37.000
They need to be found and on their way to the top for them to have till 5 a.m.
02:48:43.000
Is there any article on the strategies that they're using?
02:48:47.000
I was even contemplating, do they even have a machine or device or anything that could go even get them besides a drone?
02:49:00.000
Are they just trying to find them so they can communicate with them?
02:49:02.000
Are they trying to find them so they can use the power of the remote controller to bring them to the surface?
02:49:07.000
I don't even think they know where they are still.
02:49:11.000
Yeah, like I think it says that they lost communication like an hour and a half after they departed.
02:49:17.000
So they weren't even all the way down then, right?
02:49:19.000
Or that happened right when they hit the bottom.
02:49:24.000
The entire voyage is supposed to take two and a half hours.
02:49:26.000
The Polar Prince lost contact with the Titan approximately one hour and 45 minutes into the trip, triggering a desperate search for the now-missing sub.
02:49:36.000
And I remember the reporter said it was lost for five hours when he went last year.
02:49:53.000
The passengers were given sandwiches and water.
02:49:56.000
During that vessel, the compass was acting very weird and the passengers had only about 20 minutes to view the Titanic wreckage.
02:50:06.000
Bro, imagine if there's an alien ship down there that's fucking them up.
02:50:09.000
Bro, but if your comp is going crazy, you need to get the fuck out of there.
02:50:12.000
I don't know the science of what that means, but that's never good.
02:50:21.000
Here's what's so wild about all this shit, Dojo.
02:50:27.000
To look at the wreckage from screens inside, from cameras outside.
02:50:34.000
Yeah, there was one little tiny hole above the toilet for looking out, but you can't see anything down there.
02:50:43.000
You could have just sent down a drone and watched the screen on the ship.
02:50:58.000
Yeah, but if you're an alternative to getting on the motherfuckers?
02:51:04.000
If I have to lie, no one's getting hurt by that lie.
02:51:08.000
I'm not getting on a ship that's piloted by a motherfucker that ain't on the ship.
02:51:13.000
The pilot, the driver got to take all the risks I'm taking.
02:51:17.000
And also, how about have that ship been able to drive itself, too?
02:51:23.000
Well, actually, we probably do have the technology where your commercial flight can be flown by a pilot that's That never leaves the city.
02:51:33.000
And then when you break a certain line, another pilot at the landing city takes over and they land.
02:51:44.000
If you in charge, you got to be up here with me.
02:51:46.000
Not only that, why wouldn't they have a system where when they lose communication with the sub, the sub just rises to the top?
02:51:54.000
And then they had no black-up plan for what would happen if it happened again.
02:51:58.000
Why does this scare me more than anything else?
02:52:03.000
And they target wealthy people with shit like this?
02:52:25.000
And one of my friends, if you were trying to go, I would do everything that I could.
02:52:37.000
You know these games where you start out in the woods, all you have is a hatchet?
02:52:41.000
They're like, yeah, you gotta build a fire and find a shelter.
02:52:50.000
This is a device that they have the first thing to come find them today.
02:52:56.000
It's called a Victor 6000. It can go 20,000 feet, which is plenty to get there, but...
02:53:04.000
I'm looking at, like, it shows that they send it out from a ship with some sort of tow rope, and maybe they keep the tow rope, and maybe then they can hook something onto it and tow them both back up, but that's a lot of maybes, I just said.
02:53:14.000
It's a lot of maybes, and they have to find them.
02:53:17.000
The amount of area you're talking about is so immense.
02:53:22.000
I mean, honestly, knowing that they lost communication almost right when they hit the bottom, I'm telling you, I think it imploded.
02:53:35.000
Ooh, do you think they're gonna send down people in subs to see the wreckage of the sub?
02:53:46.000
Yeah, there's the billionaire and his son, Frozen, and the Titan.
02:53:54.000
As far as we know, there ain't no monsters in space.
02:53:56.000
There's monsters all over the bottom of the ocean.
02:54:01.000
Some big-ass thing that they don't see coming...
02:54:11.000
A whale just fucked your magnetic shit up, flipped you over.
02:54:18.000
One of the things that's interesting about these UFO sightings is a lot of them are happening over water.
02:54:23.000
And they're saying these things go into the water and they don't make a splash.
02:54:28.000
Yeah, but this is my thing about the UFO sightings thing.
02:54:34.000
It's too many smartphones out here for us to not get at least some 1080p.
02:54:39.000
You know, some clear footage that's not blurry.
02:54:45.000
True, but have you ever tried filming a bird in the sky?
02:54:51.000
I saw a thing the other day where I was like, I can't explain what I'm looking at.
02:54:57.000
Because it might have just been a drone, but it seemed so huge and it seemed like it was going up so high.
02:55:03.000
But it would have had to have been a commercial drone, not a government one.
02:55:08.000
And it kept flying up and then moving to the side and then floating back down.
02:55:14.000
And then flying way up to the point when I first saw it, I thought it was a plane.
02:55:18.000
But then it started moving completely backwards.
02:55:25.000
Have you ever seen the drones where they do them through obstacle courses?
02:55:32.000
Yeah, that's going to be real popular in the future.
02:55:35.000
Because these things are getting better and better.
02:55:37.000
Have you ever seen that one where that drone takes off at insane rates of speed?
02:55:44.000
They have this drone, and it's hovering, and it goes...
02:55:49.000
I just clicked a video to find the fastest drone that you can get.
02:56:16.000
And this camera is on the drone, this one right here.
02:56:27.000
How crazy is that thing can go 200 miles an hour?
02:57:05.000
Yeah, they're getting very, very sophisticated.
02:57:08.000
You know, and then how long after that before they're pilotable?
02:57:12.000
Where you can get in one of those things and move around in something like that.
02:57:25.000
Because it's inevitable, and we're afraid of it, so we like to get close to it, get a little juice, and then go back to life.
02:57:34.000
Well, have you ever really lived if you didn't almost die?
02:57:36.000
Are you really an adult until you've almost died a couple times?
02:57:40.000
You are still an adult, but you do not have the same experiences.
02:57:44.000
If I'm in a room full of grown men, and I just go, everybody tell a story about the last time you almost died.
02:57:55.000
It's sort of a rite of passage, but it's like, if you're living life properly, it's almost inevitable.
02:58:01.000
But then you can push it too far, and you're some wild climber dude.
02:58:08.000
Have you ever seen that documentary, The Alpinist?
02:58:22.000
Yeah, alpinist is someone who's climbing insane alpine mountains.
02:58:26.000
And this fucking dude was like the one that all the other climbers were like, what the fuck?
02:58:33.000
And he, at the end of his life, was climbing ice.
02:58:48.000
But he became obsessed with all these, you know, top-notch climbers, and he did free solo climbing.
02:58:54.000
Then after a while he started doing ice climbing.
02:58:56.000
So he's climbing with these ice picks, and he's making his way up glaciers.
02:59:01.000
So he's climbing, like, stalagmites that are hanging off the side of a cliff.
02:59:30.000
Because to recover him, you would have to risk everybody's life to go recover a dead body.
02:59:36.000
I think a lot of those guys, there's something wrong with them.
02:59:41.000
I think regular life is just flat and boring, and the only way they feel is to do something insanely risky.
02:59:48.000
I think some people are just born in the wrong time, you know?
02:59:55.000
If we were already at the point where we could explore space, these would be the starship captains.
02:59:59.000
They were the guys that would get on a ship and try to map the globe.
03:00:08.000
They have to go find and seek out things, but their kind of person is necessary.
03:00:17.000
People that would take the chances just for the thrill.
03:00:21.000
Yeah, those are those people that would just get in boats and try to find new land back in the day.
03:00:26.000
Yeah, those are the people you pay to make the first hundred trips in the Titan to make sure it's safe.
03:00:31.000
Imagine the people that made it to the Hawaiian Islands in little boats that they made.
03:00:38.000
I mean, they came from the Polynesian Islands, and they made their way across the fucking ocean to Hawaii.
03:01:00.000
You find an island in the middle of the ocean is a bunch of cool-ass people living on it.
03:01:05.000
And the thing is, when you take off, you don't know where you're going.
03:01:12.000
See, talk about people that are in touch with nature.
03:01:40.000
Those are going to be the people you're looking for.
03:01:43.000
It's like, remember the old gay man with the shelter?
03:01:45.000
It's like, yeah, if the apocalypse comes, they're going to be sitting pretty.
03:01:49.000
Yeah, and the rest of us are going to be like, why if I... Yeah, but then those people go after those people.
03:01:56.000
They try to find the people that aren't prepared.
03:01:59.000
What's interesting is preppers, a lot of times, get lumped into terrorists.
03:02:04.000
There's this guy, Mike Glover, who's been on my show, who runs this company, Fieldcraft Survival, and he teaches preparedness for all kinds of different things.
03:02:18.000
Because he's just telling people, like, if society collapses, like, he's a special operations soldier.
03:02:25.000
Well, there's probably some crossover between the two communities, you know?
03:02:34.000
Somebody walked up and was like, hey, fucking John is in the Klan.
03:02:36.000
He's like, just don't bring up race around John.
03:02:44.000
I think they're talking about people that want to overthrow the government.
03:02:48.000
It's like people that want the society collapse are mixed in with the people that are preparing just for if it does.
03:02:57.000
Well, from the Prepper's perspective, the people that are into that would say, like, I don't trust the government not trusting me, because what they don't trust me is that if the shit goes down, they go full totalitarian, they know we're armed to the tits, and they don't like it.
03:03:11.000
Plus, we have food, we have water, we can fucking, we can huddle down and fight them off.
03:03:22.000
And just espousing that puts you on a watch list.
03:03:26.000
Or even if it was like zombie shit or some disease.
03:03:30.000
Like, bro, you know, and I might just be talking my ass.
03:03:36.000
But the premise of Last of Us was that that one fungus that...
03:03:55.000
Now, obviously, I don't know if it can mind control a human.
03:03:58.000
Because you'd probably die before it could take over your whole mind, because our minds are way bigger than, you know, bugs.
03:04:04.000
But there's things that take over our minds anyway.
03:04:06.000
There's toxoplasmosis, which you actually get from cats.
03:04:22.000
Not only that, she's out there with rats and all sorts of things.
03:04:25.000
Who knows what she's killing and eating out there?
03:04:28.000
Well, what it does with rats is it makes them sexually attracted to smell of cat urine.
03:04:34.000
They literally lose their ability to be afraid of cats and then they get hard.
03:04:44.000
And then the cats kill them and eat them and toxoplasmosis actually multiplies inside a cat's gut.
03:04:55.000
Cordyceps opiocordyceps are types of fungi that typically infect insects.
03:05:02.000
Fictional works have explored cordyceps infections in humans, but this fungus is not likely to evolve to cause infection in humans in the near future.
03:05:10.000
However, cases of fungal infection may be increasing with climate change.
03:05:28.000
You hear about, like, the accounts of, like, settlers trying to make their way across the country that encountered animals with rabies and the way they died?
03:05:36.000
Rabies is wild because it infects animals and makes them want to bite you to give you rabies.
03:05:42.000
Every time I hear somebody tell me they got bit by a wild animal and they didn't go to the hospital, I'm like, are you crazy?
03:05:49.000
Because once you start showing symptoms of rabies, you already did.
03:05:53.000
I think you have to get to the hospital and get treatment within 24 hours.
03:05:59.000
Yeah, I know a dude that was telling me a story about someone who got nicked by a bat.
03:06:05.000
Like, there was bats under a bridge, and the bat, you know, they're flying, they're all flying, and he got nicked on his hand.
03:06:30.000
You know, there's a bunch of bats around you like, Jesus!
03:06:35.000
Infected bat ran into the hand of B.C. Man, who later died from rabies.
03:06:40.000
Suffering a small puncture wound in rare daylight encounter this spring.
03:06:52.000
I said he developed symptoms of rabies six weeks later.
03:06:56.000
You gotta get, cause once the symptoms kick in, you dead.
03:07:01.000
If you get bit by a wild animal, you got to go to the hospital that night.
03:07:10.000
Because if you tell them you're having chest pains, they'll see you right away.
03:07:12.000
Imagine you're feeling like shit and you have to think back to six weeks ago where a bat grazed you.
03:07:26.000
At most emergency rooms, meaning they don't see you in the order you came in, they see you in what they think is the most serious.
03:07:32.000
Right, so you gotta say something's really wrong.
03:07:34.000
Yeah, unless you're bleeding out or you having chest pains, it's not serious.
03:07:39.000
You might be sitting there for four, five, six, seven hours.
03:07:48.000
If I thought something serious was wrong, I would lie about having chest pains.
03:07:56.000
You gotta get in there, especially if you think it might be rabies.
03:08:16.000
And I remember the dude taking my vitals and stuff.
03:08:45.000
But he was like, it's just unlikely that there's anything wrong with you.
03:09:01.000
Like you were really thinking you were having a heart attack.
03:09:03.000
Well the thing is, the VA has like a tele-nurse.
03:09:07.000
So if you call a nurse and say your symptoms, they'll tell you what you need to do, whether you go to the hospital or they'll make an appointment for you.
03:09:14.000
But if you say you're having chest pains, they're going to make you go to the hospital.
03:09:23.000
So it probably wasn't the type of pain that would be signal a heart attack.
03:09:27.000
But it was like, she didn't know that and I didn't know how to describe it to her better.
03:09:33.000
You don't want to go to an emergency room just in case.
03:09:47.000
Yeah, no matter what's going to cost you, going to debt, just don't pay it.
03:09:53.000
I'd rather be alive and in severe debt than dead because I didn't go to the doctor.
03:10:09.000
I never looked into the healthcare system in terms of how many hospitals are private.
03:10:21.000
Everyone in every city, they can tell you the hospital that you don't want to go to.
03:10:27.000
My mom, she's going to probably be mad at me talking about this.
03:10:31.000
My mom had a heart attack recently, and like, you know, within the last year.
03:10:35.000
And she drove herself to the hospital because she lives in D.C., but it's right there on the border with PG County, Maryland.
03:10:45.000
And so it was because she knew if she called 911, they would take her to the bad hospital.
03:10:50.000
So she drove herself to the hospital so she could go to the good one.
03:11:00.000
I saw a video of a kid who is one of the worst fractures of an ankle I've ever seen.
03:11:05.000
And he's in the passenger seat being driven to the hospital.
03:11:12.000
Yeah, that's probably faster than taking someone in an ankle.
03:11:18.000
I don't know what else you do, obviously, but...
03:11:19.000
Do you get leeway if you're trapping somebody to the hospital?
03:11:22.000
Like, say you're speeding or something and they pull you over?
03:11:24.000
If the cops are listening to you, you said my friend's got a broken ankle, the cops will probably give you a police escort.
03:11:31.000
I mean, if it sounds pretty bad, like bone through the skin and shit, blood everywhere.
03:11:36.000
But is there some kind of signal you can give where, like, I'm not slowing down, I can't stop?
03:11:40.000
Because they have to follow you anyway just to make sure it's true.
03:11:42.000
Otherwise you're just a psycho just speeding around.
03:11:52.000
I wonder what happens if a cop pulls someone over and they say, I'm giving birth now, and it's a guy.
03:11:57.000
A cop let one of my cousins get away with just pissing on the side of the road.
03:12:16.000
Yeah, I thought it was a stolen car, but it was not.
03:12:27.000
Because cops don't follow the same traffic code, but I think if you're not on shift, just because you're in a cop car, you can't speed.
03:12:42.000
You're not supposed to speed unless you're chasing someone.
03:12:44.000
If you're going to a scene of a crime, interesting.
03:13:02.000
Don't forget to follow the podcast BS with Brian Simpson.
03:13:05.000
B.S. with Brian Simpson, B.S. Comedian on Instagram and on Twitter.
03:13:16.000
We're doing a fundraising show at the Mothership.
03:13:27.000
This came out to haunt me because Miami got fucked up.
03:13:30.000
But yeah, we're hosting a fundraiser for the Veterans Hearts Project, which treats veterans with psychedelics.
