Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
00:00:21.000
Because I was like, somebody said, hey, Joe got a new club.
00:00:26.000
I just sent you a text like, hey, man, let me do your club.
00:00:38.000
Well, you done put the village right down here in Texas, man.
00:00:43.000
Like back in the day when they had the comedy club here, we'd go to Boston Comedy Club, go to Salad, go to da-da-da-da, all of that.
00:01:00.000
I said to somebody, I said, I'm going to Austin to do the mothership.
00:01:07.000
He says, wow, that's going to be a long flight.
00:01:22.000
And then I broke it down and I'm like, yeah, mothership, you know, like George Clinton, you know, and the parliament and all that.
00:01:40.000
Other comedians have sent me pictures of people lined up like they're going to see Star Wars the first time.
00:01:46.000
It's hard to get tickets, so people get amped up about it.
00:01:54.000
I mean, we basically set up everything to make it perfect for stand-up.
00:01:58.000
You know, just perfect for the comics, perfect for the staff.
00:02:02.000
I've been in clubs, and they go, yeah, we put our heart and soul into this.
00:02:07.000
No, we don't do comedy, but this is our new club.
00:02:26.000
People ordering drinks while the show's going on.
00:02:33.000
It looks like, yeah, like Bandstand, American Bandstand or something, you know.
00:02:39.000
Well, there's not a lot of clubs that are designed by comedians.
00:02:43.000
Where the comic comes in and says, you know, we need to fix this, we need to do that.
00:02:56.000
He's like, make the stage in the small room smaller.
00:03:01.000
It was like right before we poured the concrete, too, so they had to change the rebar and all that jazz.
00:03:08.000
When you, like, from the stage, I give advice on.
00:03:12.000
Like, I might, you know, you poke fun at the club, you talk shit, and, like, the owner's always like, you know how much money I put into this club?
00:03:27.000
But then sometimes you rip on a club because it's comfortable, and you rip on it, and then they'll go and fix it.
00:03:46.000
But it was like one of those clubs, like the Ice House in Pasadena, they fixed that up too.
00:03:51.000
But you would go to those places and it's just like they had a feel.
00:03:55.000
They had those, like the wall in Zany's where you see those headshots from 1983. There's a club in Baltimore.
00:04:04.000
My first five minutes was on how dusty the velvet curtain was.
00:04:11.000
And then they cleaned it up, new thing, new this.
00:04:26.000
I tell people, I say, the periodic chart, the symbol for comedy is a banana peel.
00:04:36.000
The crowd might laugh, but somebody's gonna go, fuck you.
00:04:39.000
How many people have gotten fucked up over banana peels to the point where banana peels became a thing?
00:04:46.000
If you leave a banana peel on the ground, people are getting fucked up.
00:04:49.000
It's, like, literally the only item where if it's on the...
00:04:52.000
You could describe it, and there was a banana peel on the ground.
00:05:00.000
And then next thing you know, the ambulance guy is telling you, you got STD. Well, that's what it sounded like when I hurt my back that time.
00:05:35.000
Because I'm always the first one to feel something, like right now, and you guys don't have it here, but we got the smoke and stuff.
00:05:51.000
Because you know all the conspiracy theories, Jamie?
00:05:56.000
Because apparently there was a bunch of chemicals that went missing.
00:06:04.000
So at Camp Lejeune, the Marines have to go through a gas chamber.
00:06:13.000
But the good thing is you get a three-day weekend.
00:06:22.000
Not a lot, but I would, okay, maybe once a month.
00:06:28.000
Them three-day weekends are good, and I didn't care.
00:06:31.000
Because after a while, you kind of get used to it.
00:06:33.000
But when I smell that smoke, I'm like, I know what trees and leaves smell like, man, when they burnin'.
00:06:45.000
NBC. It's called nuclear biological chemical warfare.
00:06:49.000
And Marines, everybody in the military, you have to go in and you put your mask on.
00:06:58.000
Because you have to be able, like, when the gas comes, you don't already have your mask on.
00:07:07.000
And so, as a corpsman, but you already got your mask on as a corpsman, but it's still getting in there, so for health reasons, you should do it once a quarter.
00:07:26.000
I volunteered, because I had allergies real bad, I volunteered to go up to Norfolk for these, they would be up there for like a week, and they They give you shots and do this and do that and do this.
00:07:41.000
And I was talking to this guy one time who was in my unit.
00:07:45.000
I said, yeah, man, I went from 5'10 to 6'1 in like a year.
00:07:49.000
He says, yeah, would you let him shoot you up with all that shit?
00:08:02.000
I always thought they were doing that kind of stuff.
00:08:05.000
Like, I don't know what they give people, but haven't you ever heard...
00:08:09.000
There's always been stories about people giving people, like, crazy experimental drugs.
00:08:15.000
You got your gear in your hand, and you just walk through, and there's a corpsman on both sides.
00:08:23.000
Well, if I had a bunch of soldiers, especially like special operators, like Navy SEALs, I would want them to be juiced up.
00:09:03.000
So my question is, do I try to work through this?
00:09:05.000
Because they say that eventually your tongue figures out how to talk.
00:09:16.000
It's like your tongue has to, even though it's the tiniest little amount of plastic, your tongue has to figure out where that is.
00:09:23.000
And then it has to kind of like pull back a little bit.
00:09:31.000
Because there'll be certain things that you say and a certain way you say them.
00:09:35.000
And my lower teeth have always been crooked and shit gets stuck in them.
00:09:43.000
The dentist is like, listen, you don't have to wear braces.
00:09:46.000
You can just do this thing and it takes a long time.
00:09:53.000
If you're a person who's easily annoyed, I apologize.
00:10:04.000
This is the last, it's a map of the last day or so.
00:10:09.000
Now, the conspiracy theory is that there's a shit ton of toxic waste, toxic chemicals, rather, that went missing.
00:10:22.000
And the conspiracy theory is they burn them, and that's why the smoke is orange.
00:10:36.000
But the thing is, if you have a fire that's that big, for sure there's some stuff around the fire other than just trees.
00:10:48.000
I remember hearing that most of the population lives near the border.
00:10:58.000
It's supposed to be dead in the center somewhere.
00:11:00.000
Bro, those fucking Alberta people, those people that can live up in that cold weather, those are different people.
00:11:14.000
And everybody's just walking around with Levi's jacket.
00:11:23.000
It was very weird that video where they all started at the same time.
00:11:26.000
Where all the fires start at the exact same time it looked like.
00:11:32.000
I heard the explanation to that was like lightning storms.
00:11:36.000
What about the balloon that got shot down or something like that?
00:11:54.000
Half the wildfires are started by lightning, but those fires account for more than 85% of the wildfire destruction.
00:12:04.000
Oh, they're pretty good at getting the fuck away.
00:12:12.000
This article right here just said this in April only displaced 30,000 people, so it's like there's not a lot of people up there.
00:12:40.000
Well, I think when things get this big, there's not much they can do.
00:12:46.000
I mean, they can do their best to try to contain it.
00:13:17.000
Brother, worst ever experience was Mexico City.
00:13:24.000
The amount of smoke those people live in on a regular basis.
00:13:30.000
It says, I've never seen a vertical wall of smoke like this one near Fox Creek, Alberta on Sunday.
00:13:36.000
And the strangest thing about this moment was I couldn't smell any smoke.
00:13:44.000
If the wind's not going in that direction, you need to smell it.
00:14:05.000
Can you imagine if it really is how they got rid of those chemicals?
00:14:11.000
That would be the dumbest way to get rid of those chemicals.
00:14:16.000
They sprayed them and then someone started a fire?
00:14:20.000
I can understand why someone would think it's a conspiracy, right?
00:14:23.000
The chemicals go missing and then there's this fire and the smoke looks orange.
00:14:31.000
But my question would be, why would anybody do that?
00:14:34.000
Why would anybody light all those chemicals on fire in the woods?
00:14:41.000
Imagine that's how they start- Somebody else might have done it.
00:14:47.000
But imagine that is how you choose to get rid of chemicals.
00:15:00.000
You have to be the craziest psychopath of all time.
00:15:03.000
You're lighting the woods on fire to get rid of some chemicals.
00:15:22.000
Like, if it is the chemicals, what kind of conspiracy is that?
00:15:37.000
It started in the Northwest and started making it across the country, I think.
00:15:41.000
They said they had a bunch of those while Trump was in office and they didn't tell him about it.
00:15:45.000
Because they were worried he was going to shoot them down.
00:15:47.000
Well, they also showed that laser, that footage of that laser shooting down on, like, the Hawaiian coastline.
00:15:52.000
That makes me think of the fires as, like, whatever that is.
00:15:56.000
Imagine if they could just light the fucking woods on fire to make us comply.
00:16:08.000
We've got to make sure that we track all your matches purchases.
00:16:13.000
It's kind of crazy that you could just buy a lighter.
00:16:15.000
Like anybody could go buy a lighter and start lighting shit on fire.
00:16:19.000
Just can't take it through TSA. You can't take a lighter through TSA? No.
00:16:29.000
I mean, but if it's sitting in your carry-on, they take light.
00:16:32.000
You ever see that little bucket of those lighters?
00:16:46.000
Lighters with fuel are prohibited in checked bags.
00:16:52.000
So the Zippos without fuel are allowed in checked bags.
00:17:09.000
I don't think they're supposed to take it if there's got any fuel in it.
00:17:13.000
Yeah, I don't think they're allowed to take that.
00:17:19.000
Final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether the item is allowed through the checkpoint.
00:17:26.000
Yeah, some of them are cool and some of them are not.
00:17:30.000
You couldn't take a pool cue on board, but you could take a skateboard.
00:17:34.000
I'm like, dude, I could fuck you up with a skateboard way better than I could fuck you up with a pool cue.
00:17:40.000
And pool cue can get a little more speed to it.
00:17:51.000
There's a lot of canes that have swords in them now.
00:17:57.000
No, somebody gave it to her, but they didn't know that it was...
00:18:23.000
The place you used to go get, like, ears pierced and they were in the mall.
00:18:49.000
I remember you used to be able to go to Chinatown and buy throwing stars.
00:18:59.000
There's a comedian who used to have those stars.
00:19:12.000
Him and another comedian got into it one time and he had those things out.
00:19:24.000
I mean, they roll out like a little belt or something.
00:19:54.000
It's all over the UK. You ever do it over there in the UK? Yeah, I just did the O2. I did the arena up there.
00:20:06.000
I've seen more of England than most English people.
00:20:39.000
At that time, they were having comedy six nights a week all over the country.
00:20:48.000
Me, Will Silvance, all those guys from over there we used to go over.
00:21:03.000
It sounds good, but it was the same as doing North Carolina and Georgia, the Holiday Inns.
00:21:19.000
Because the first time they saw this was with me, Red, Johnny, and the Round Guy.
00:21:30.000
Ian Edwards, Renee Hicks, and Sully McCullough.
00:21:33.000
And we all went up to Edinburgh to do the Edinburgh Festival.
00:22:05.000
You're like, I'm ready to get them out of here.
00:22:08.000
As a matter of fact, me and Greer had a show Across from the president when we were there.
00:22:25.000
Yeah, and the show upstairs was the puppetry of the penis.
00:22:33.000
Isn't that wild that that guy's the president of Ukraine and they're at war with Russia?
00:22:45.000
You were hanging out with the president of Ukraine.
00:22:49.000
Imagine all the people who said, man, he smoked Newports with that dude.
00:22:59.000
The president of Ukraine is a fucking comedian.
00:23:15.000
I remember one of the presidents that we had here, and he was doing a tour at Air Force Base, and the guy says, this is a stealth fighter.
00:23:23.000
He goes, yeah, it's invisible like Wonder Woman's plane.
00:23:33.000
He says they call this a stealth fighter because it gets invisible like Wonder Woman.
00:23:43.000
The Wonder Woman plane would go transparent so you could see the clouds.
00:23:50.000
They're gonna do that for sure because they already have clothes that can do that.
00:23:53.000
They have like a cloak that you can wear and the cloak will like transmit an image of what's behind you.
00:24:06.000
They figured out how to do some weird stuff that makes it look like someone's invisible and things are invisible.
00:24:14.000
And it seems like a matter of time before they can apply that at a higher level.
00:24:19.000
That lady's standing right in front of something.
00:24:23.000
Did you ever do Bruce Harris Club before it was the Stardome?
00:24:53.000
So she's got camo pants on standing in front of that tree, and then the thing is showing the image of the tree behind her.
00:25:02.000
Yeah, they could apply that to a plane, for sure.
00:25:05.000
And then, you know, with the stealth technology, you can't see it.
00:25:17.000
Boy, if that's what the aliens are like, we're fucked.
00:25:42.000
Africa is a very complicated situation because Africa has more wild game right now than any time over the last few decades.
00:25:53.000
And the reason why they have that is because they made it very valuable.
00:25:57.000
So these people set up these large wild game camps and people from all over the world come there and they pay a lot of money and they hunt.
00:26:11.000
And they can eat the meat while they're there and they'll donate the meat to the villages, which they very much appreciate.
00:26:18.000
My friends who've been over there said it is actually a very nice feeling.
00:26:27.000
It's just like to say you hunted a lion, the thrill of hunting a lion.
00:26:33.000
And then there's the conservation aspect of it.
00:26:35.000
They do have to kill a certain amount of lions.
00:26:41.000
Remember when Cecil the lion got killed and everybody freaked out?
00:26:44.000
They shut down lion hunting and then they had a surplus of lions.
00:26:48.000
And then lions were killing too much antelope and undulates.
00:26:51.000
So then they had to send in hunters, like professional killers, to kill the lions.
00:26:55.000
Do you remember this movie that Kirk Douglas was in?
00:27:03.000
And they did the thing on the lions, and one of the lions...
00:27:11.000
He had hurt his jaw, his tooth or something, like a real bad...
00:27:19.000
And so that's why he was hunting humans because...
00:27:23.000
It's like eating cotton candy as opposed to that.
00:27:28.000
The other one was fine, but I guess that was like, all right, man, you're on this special diet.
00:27:40.000
If we don't taste absolutely terrible, The lion pair was said to have killed 135 people.
00:27:54.000
So his little lion breath probably stunk like shit.
00:27:57.000
It said the Sabo man-eaters are the most widely studied man-eating pantherine cats, given their behavior of hunting humans as a pair, as well as dental injuries reported in one of the lions.
00:28:09.000
A cause commonly attributed to big cats turning to humans as prey.
00:28:14.000
And these dudes was weird, too, because they didn't have mane.
00:28:25.000
Yeah, so they were equivalent of a guy with a big butt.
00:28:36.000
Yeah, these two dudes, the poster boys were strange.
00:28:39.000
Does it say anything about why they didn't have manes?
00:28:48.000
And these two dudes, so they were already outcast, no manes, bad breath.
00:28:56.000
They just go down to a railroad track and eat some dudes.
00:29:00.000
Imagine, you know, you're spending your whole life trying to kill a zebra.
00:29:07.000
And then you find these people like, oh, Jesus!
00:29:24.000
And they were all railroad workers or something like that.
00:29:33.000
The most vigorous Serengeti males sport large manes while the Savo they have short, thin manes or none at all.
00:29:41.000
Savo is hotter and drier than the Serengeti and a male with a heavy mane would squander his daily water allowance by simply panting under a bush with none despair for patrolling his territory, hunting or finding mates.
00:30:00.000
So are there lions like that right now that are there?
00:30:02.000
See if you can find, like, male lions out there with no manes.
00:30:12.000
Well, have you guys been watching Chimp Empire?
00:30:22.000
They had set up, scientists had set up research there 30 years ago.
00:30:27.000
So they had been continually studying these chimps and they had like very specific rules of engagement.
00:30:45.000
And so they're like filming everything and the chimps get accustomed to the people being there because the people never interact with the chimps.
00:30:52.000
And if the chimps walk towards the people, the people just back away.
00:30:59.000
Because they'll just steal your food and fuck you up.
00:31:08.000
Yeah, David Attenborough, I think, was the first guy that captured that on film on the BBC, and I remember watching that.
00:31:16.000
You see this little monkey, and he's still alive, and the chimp is eating him from the asshole first.
00:31:23.000
And I always thought that they were like vegetarians.
00:31:35.000
Yeah, I didn't know either until I watched that documentary, but they eat a lot of monkeys.
00:31:40.000
And this is one of the things that he was kind of like reluctant to talk about, the director.
00:31:51.000
It's like, with us, it's like fast food, like literal fast food.
00:31:59.000
I was thinking they ate them because they had tails.
00:32:18.000
So when we see them getting eaten, even though we're getting eaten by something that's even closer to us, it still is like, what?
00:32:38.000
Well, I guess birds of prey eat other birds, too.
00:32:42.000
Yeah, I mean, there's crazy videos of seagulls.
00:32:46.000
Seagulls, they're just swallowing whole pigeons.
00:33:02.000
When they swallow shit, it's crazy because the thing realizes that it got caught.
00:33:07.000
You see it moving around inside of its mouth and it can't do shit about it.
00:33:12.000
See if you can find, like, Pelican Eats Pigeon.
00:33:18.000
What about on that Chimp Empire when they got the leader, they got him, and all his boys ran?
00:34:19.000
No, this is a seagull who's going to eat a rat.
00:34:29.000
It probably tastes nasty, too, and he's like, Jesus Christ, I can't believe I'm doing this.
00:34:36.000
Yeah, how long do you think you can eat swallowing rats whole and live?
00:34:42.000
I mean, how many of those could you eat before your whole body is just filled with toxins?
00:34:54.000
Yeah, that's one of the things that happens at the Hollywood Hills.
00:34:58.000
They kill a lot of owls inadvertently because they're poisoning the rats.
00:35:10.000
We have an overrun of rats in D.C. And the rats behave like squirrels.
00:35:32.000
Yeah, and they're saying for people to please curb your dog because the dogs eat dog food, which is high in protein, and the rats eat...
00:35:54.000
There's a ton of videos of eagles killing birds.
00:36:22.000
All of a sudden, these giant hands with claws that dig into your ribcage, and you already know you're dead.
00:36:29.000
That thing's grabbing you and it's flying off with you, you already know you're dead.
00:36:39.000
Just go ahead and eat me already, motherfucker.
00:36:43.000
On my way here today, a bird dropped out of the sky when I was at a red light, and I was like, what the fuck was that?
00:36:52.000
I think a bigger bird got a bird, and its friends were trying to, like, get it back.
00:37:02.000
Because I could see other birds flying around as they went by, but...
00:37:05.000
Yeah, bird on bird warfare is going on all the time.
00:37:08.000
Like if you just throw out stuff for the seagulls, you give it to one of them, and they go, no, bitch, give me that.
00:37:13.000
I was watching a bunch of crows chase off a hawk.
00:37:18.000
There was all these crows that were swarming in on this hawk, trying to get the fucking hawk out of there.
00:37:29.000
As far as flying, the Falcon is the one who can maneuver real good.
00:37:36.000
They come in dive bombing like 200 miles an hour.
00:37:49.000
Until he's burning off so much energy and he's so word out.
00:37:54.000
Have you ever done the comedy festivals in Australia?
00:38:06.000
And it looks like, on Batman, you know, when they do the bat symbol?
00:38:11.000
Because you're just looking down at the ground.
00:38:13.000
We had no idea about the fruit bats in Australia.
00:38:15.000
You know, they're like, they're like this big, right?
00:38:18.000
So you walk in, and it's just like, you see that, like, hmm, must be a nightclub or something.
00:38:23.000
And then you see a whole bunch of them, and look up, and like, ow, look at that!
00:38:27.000
Me, Isle of Bell, grill bars, and I was freaking out.
00:38:52.000
You don't have to go to the woods to see these motherfuckers.
00:39:17.000
So we were there and they have a big gala for the comedians.
00:39:25.000
And they said, hey, be careful because the triad is over to the little gang members.
00:39:33.000
They don't look like they should fight with what they got on.
00:39:40.000
So me being the big, tough American, I'm like, yo, I walk into the car.
00:39:44.000
Because she has a train on her dress and everything.
00:39:48.000
And we walk into the car and I saw the biggest rat ever coming down the alley.
00:39:58.000
And she goes, she looks over and she goes, aww.
00:40:20.000
You know, and I'm trying to tell her, like, come on, come on, come on.
00:40:24.000
And she's more worried about her shoes and shit.
00:40:28.000
My dog got one of those in the yard the other day, and it played dead, and he just left it.
00:40:41.000
I watched a video the other day of one getting attacked Australian possums.
00:41:16.000
She waited right until the last moment and looked over and go, aw.
00:41:33.000
And while the possum's laying there, the coyote pisses on it.
00:41:55.000
So he's like, oh, all right, I guess it's dead.
00:42:30.000
Because that's what they do a lot of times with cats.
00:42:32.000
They'll kill them, and then they'll come back later and eat them when they're stiff.
00:42:48.000
Well, I would imagine it gets a lot more moist or a lot more tender if all the meat is breaking down.
00:43:00.000
Well, I mean, maybe they develop a taste for it.
00:43:22.000
Because I have problems with animals all the time.
00:43:27.000
I got attacked by like, what's it called, pygmy goats?
00:43:37.000
And we're in London, and it was kind of embarrassing.
00:43:40.000
As a matter of fact, it was me, Brad John Eataround guy, and Stu Kamens.
00:44:04.000
And then we go to feed the little goats, the little pebbles.
00:44:11.000
And every little goat and that motherfucker just started going crazy.
00:44:14.000
Then again, I was the asshole again, because I kicked one.
00:44:19.000
And then they knew you kicked them, and so then they came after you.
00:44:22.000
The kids were like, the little kids, because the goats were just making a beeline for my sneakers.
00:44:29.000
Yeah, just chewing on them and just fucking with them, yeah.
00:45:09.000
Red Johnny and the Round Guy was a funny combination, too.
00:45:12.000
Yeah, if I knew it was going to be this type of party.
00:45:18.000
It's funny when you know guys as long as we have.
00:45:26.000
I mean, Tony, I've known you for like 30 years.
00:45:31.000
When I first came to New York, I was at 91. I just got released from the military.
00:45:39.000
And that one week, I did Caroline's Comedy Hour and Def Jam.
00:45:43.000
And I was like, boy, this Caroline is going to work out for me.
00:45:48.000
I had no idea Def Jam was going to blow like that, man.
00:45:58.000
It's called a Leslie Nielsen National Lampoon Comedy Playoffs.
00:46:03.000
They pick a comedian from all over the country, go out to Vegas.
00:46:13.000
The other guys had a regular room, but I had a suite.
00:46:25.000
You do these training where you go make maps and all this shit.
00:46:38.000
But everything you see on them stupid TV shows, that happened.
00:46:46.000
And the Marine, because, you know, he's the guy who knows where the markers are, but we didn't know where the markers were.
00:46:51.000
He's the one who says, hey, we're out of the perimeter.
00:47:18.000
Remember how you said they know how to get away?
00:47:20.000
All these fuckers just did a little mass exodus.
00:47:28.000
I've never seen him, but I never heard nothing like that either.
00:47:42.000
Like when you hear him on the record, it's one thing, but when you hear him live, he's like that.
00:47:52.000
He didn't sound like that, but it was the same power.
00:47:55.000
Power, like hair on the back of your neck kind of, what the fuck?
00:48:01.000
Bears, especially when, what time of the year was it?
00:48:12.000
You have to determine where the wind is coming from and get on a tree or something because a lot of the icicles are coming like darts.
00:48:22.000
And that night, I was joking around about it and everything.
00:48:27.000
And one of the officers says, you know, this is a facility and, you know, we don't...
00:48:34.000
Basically, you can't go on stage and go, hey, guess where I was at?
00:49:04.000
Because it's cold and it's raining, so we're like in a little circle.
00:49:10.000
And we're talking about, you know, we're going to do this and do that because we're comparing shit and everybody's fucking up.
00:49:20.000
It's supposed to be like a two- or three-day thing, right?
00:49:23.000
And the good teams, like you do it in the classroom for a couple days, and then a team goes out, a team comes back, a team goes out.
00:49:30.000
And some of the guys who weren't as good as us in the classroom were coming right back in two days.
00:49:41.000
And then our first marker was the third marker.
00:49:56.000
He didn't want to be there in the morning, we wanted to be there.
00:50:08.000
So you guys were out there and explain to me what happened and who was telling you that it's Bigfoot.
00:50:17.000
And then everything's running, deer, and everything's just like scurrying.
00:50:22.000
You know how you throw a stick through the branches?
00:50:27.000
It's just like a big something just flew through the trees.
00:50:41.000
And he was like, yeah, you guys missed your other markers.
00:50:46.000
So we just kind of went and got on our markers and went back to the base.
00:50:57.000
Well, I wasn't really worried about Bigfoot because according to that dude, Bigfoot don't bother you.
00:51:07.000
I don't know if he's seen him before, but he just said he just lets you know when you've gone too far in the woods.
00:51:16.000
Nobody ever says that he grabs you and do nothing.
00:51:28.000
That's been the least successful, successful show ever.
00:51:31.000
They've been trying to find Bigfoot for like eight seasons.
00:51:33.000
I've spent a whole day on the road, like if I'm in my hotel, I've spent the whole day, oh shit, they about to get it.
00:51:58.000
Reality shows, man, they're not really reality.
00:52:27.000
How bad can you get fucked up and how quickly can they get you to a hospital?
00:52:38.000
The one time the lady, her snatch was all swollen.
00:52:43.000
They had bitter all up and everything because her cycle came.
00:52:53.000
The dude I had on the show, he shot a moose with a bow and arrow, and then he had to kill a wolverine that was trying to steal his moose.
00:53:11.000
Alone is a show where you're allowed to have a certain amount of things, right?
00:53:47.000
You have a phone case that has, like, a cover over your buttons.
00:53:56.000
Like, I drop it, but I always catch it or kick it so that it never hits the screen.
00:54:21.000
I didn't know that putting it on your waist was an old man thing.
00:54:28.000
You never see a hot girl with a phone on her hip.
00:54:33.000
If you saw a girl, like a hot girl with like an iPhone Max on her hip, you're like, what the fuck is wrong with her?
00:54:46.000
Yeah, because you can do this and you turn it that way.
00:54:51.000
They have like a thing that goes around their neck.
00:55:25.000
Yeah, you always got to be thinking about that, I guess.
00:56:00.000
No, they're little ones, but they fucked me up.
00:56:22.000
As a matter of fact, I got the thing in my baby toe.
00:56:30.000
So you get the little rubber thing, bring it back up there.
00:56:35.000
You see my toenails, you're going to say thank you for your service.
00:56:46.000
But they, my toenails got messed up when I was like, I think I was like 12. You remember minibikes?
00:56:58.000
You remember those sandals back in the day with the tire treads on the bottom?
00:57:01.000
And going down the hill, and you know, I had the little brake with the, it's like a plate that stops on the back wheel.
00:57:07.000
I heard something go clang, clang, clang, clang, clang.
00:57:12.000
And I put my feet down and, you know, of course the sandals come out of my...
00:57:36.000
He says, so, you going too far with this woods thing?
00:57:48.000
You don't realize how helpless you are if you just hurt your big toe in one of your feet.
00:58:08.000
And so the big toe and pinky doesn't look like he's that important.
00:58:15.000
Your little ring finger and ring finger can reduce your grip strength by 67% if you lose them.
00:58:24.000
Your pinky holds as much as 50% of your hand strength.
00:58:27.000
The pinky along with the ring finger forms the power bottom of your hand while the thumb, index finger, and middle finger provide dexterity.
00:58:40.000
I don't know if I totally agree with that, though.
00:58:52.000
Because if you grip a lot of stuff, or you carry a lot of stuff, I would imagine it would change.
00:58:57.000
It definitely can have compensation because I fucked up my pinky and my whole hand was fucked up for a while.
00:59:15.000
It didn't seem to reduce my strength by that much.
00:59:18.000
There's a test of six different grip methods, one without the middle finger, one without the ring, and little fingers, and that was the lowest grip.
00:59:25.000
Right, but is that also a function of mechanics, though?
00:59:29.000
Because if you're removing the middle finger, do you have the same leverage on those other fingers?
00:59:41.000
Everybody else don't realize how important the pinky is until it gets fucked up.
00:59:45.000
Well, that's also now that I'm thinking about, though, maybe it is true, because maybe I should be thinking about what muscles of the forearm are pulling down, and maybe these ones are stronger.
00:59:56.000
If you cut off your pinky toe, you lose, it's not all of your balance, but you're going to have to figure out how to balance again, because it makes up a point of balance for you.
01:00:26.000
Jon Jones fucked his big toe up in a fight with Chael Sonnen.
01:00:29.000
He beat the shit out of Chael Sonnen and then got up and was doing the post-fight interview and looked down and saw that his toe was like flipped upside down.
01:00:49.000
His toe had flipped around because that's how much pressure he was putting into trying to beat Chael Sonnen up.
01:01:08.000
So that dude fucked up his own toe, and to this day, he fucked up his own toe because he was pushing off so hard when he was beating down Chael Sonnen.
01:01:18.000
But to this day, he has to fight with that toe taped up.
01:01:22.000
Imagine how much he lost from having an injured toe like that and he's still the greatest.
01:01:32.000
You guys seen this new movie with Woody Harrelson?
01:01:37.000
He gets a DUI, so he has to go coach some guys with mental disabilities.
01:01:53.000
And that's one of the funniest parts of the movie.
01:01:55.000
Because one kid who has soft bones, he goes, are we gonna...
01:02:03.000
So in the big game, he goes, I think I'm gonna come out of the game because I think I sprained my finger.
01:02:09.000
And then he showed me his finger and shit looked like his toe.
01:02:28.000
And it's about a lot of people with challenges.
01:02:32.000
So I'm laughing out loud, and the people look over to see what's so funny, and they go, really, asshole?
01:02:38.000
I'm like, no, no, because they can't hear what I'm hearing.
01:02:42.000
Because there's one kid in the movie, and he grabs the ball and shoots backwards, and then he does the Steph Curry.
01:02:52.000
And they said, he said, he's the only one in the league who does that.
01:02:58.000
He said, no, he don't ever make it, but he's the only one in the league who does it.
01:03:14.000
But listen, he's the only one in the league who does it.
01:03:20.000
If you see the one with the finger, that finger is...
01:03:34.000
This is the best podcast I've ever been on, man.
01:04:11.000
Yeah, just to like pop their finger back in place.
01:04:17.000
Guys have blown, popped their shoulders out, popped them back in in between rounds.
01:04:31.000
You just put your name on the list and get up and fight.
01:04:41.000
And so, boom, whoever can get a chair, he sits over here in this corner.
01:04:51.000
And whoever beats that guy, whoever wins out of that two-minute round, then they do it again.
01:04:56.000
And so this guy who just won this will have to fight the next guy who loses a musical chance.
01:06:00.000
But he was worked up because the crowd was cheering, man.
01:06:11.000
And he said, if anything happens, it just pops out.
01:06:32.000
You just might be on, instead of cutting it off, what the fuck?
01:06:36.000
Like the worm thing, the rat thing, the eating stuff.
01:06:48.000
They should have had smell vision for Fear Factor.
01:06:50.000
They should have been able to give you a dose of what that was.
01:06:58.000
You know, one of the ways they made it smell nasty was they would buy expensive French cheese.
01:07:06.000
Yeah, apparently there was a place in Beverly Hills that had this funky fucking cheese.
01:07:13.000
Yeah, I guess some of those folks that are like real cheeseheads, they like wild shit.
01:07:20.000
And people would just vomit opening up the fucking case to smell it.
01:07:35.000
As a matter of fact, we went to Edinburgh the first time.
01:07:38.000
That's the first time I've ever seen something like that.
01:07:40.000
Because the guy, he does something, and he swallows all of this stuff.
01:07:45.000
I don't know if it's vomit, and it's beer, it's a whole bunch of nasty shit.
01:07:51.000
And then we were in a big tent, and somebody went, and they threw up, and then, Like, everyone's just barfing.
01:08:05.000
And the whole tent smelled like that cheese you're talking about.
01:08:10.000
Edinburgh Festival is skank festival to the 100th pow.
01:08:23.000
A month in the rain with kilts on, no draws, just getting it.
01:08:32.000
Yeah, because this guy, he goes, I said, he said, how'd you boys get along last night?
01:08:49.000
He turned to get a beer or something like that.
01:08:52.000
And I'm like, well, you know, because they're so small.
01:08:54.000
I'm like, these are like obviously children's aspirin.
01:09:19.000
Okay, the next morning I woke up and I pooed it.
01:09:43.000
And then, you know, I wake up and I'm like, oh, man, that was crazy.
01:10:15.000
Because it made me like, you know, we almost got in a fight because I saw a little guy there I'm not going to say midget, dwarf.
01:10:36.000
From across the room he goes, what are you looking at, Blackie?
01:10:46.000
I was just on some other super happy shit, you know.
01:11:13.000
Everybody was so upset with him for calling me Blackie.
01:11:35.000
Man, if you live in an environment where it rains that much...
01:11:40.000
If you live in an environment like that, it's tough to be happy, I bet.
01:12:06.000
And the people are just in there, and you're just like...
01:12:14.000
That's all during the festival, you know, up in Scotland.
01:12:18.000
All the people, English people come up, and you just gotta just have a show.
01:12:31.000
Just to say you did it, because we always had a ball over there.
01:12:48.000
He's going to, and he's going to break the board.
01:13:42.000
For those of you who don't know, haiku is Japanese for really short poem.
01:13:53.000
Now the beauty of haiku is that the original haiku poets could express her deepest emotions...
01:14:06.000
He said, are you ready to see me break the board?
01:14:43.000
It looks impressive because you think of wood, but it's pine and they're thin.
01:15:03.000
Because I used to have to do board-breaking demonstrations.
01:15:06.000
When we would open up a new school, a new martial arts school, they would send us to a new place.
01:15:15.000
You were in high school when I met you, weren't you?
01:15:45.000
Rick Dorfman, Carrie, Liz, rest in peace, Don't say that.
01:15:59.000
It's okay if you say rest in peace and don't remember the name.
01:16:13.000
That whole scene, man, what an interesting scene in comedy in the early 90s in New York.
01:16:22.000
It was when MTV Half Hour Comedy Hour was poppin', Def Jam was poppin', all these different shows were happening.
01:16:28.000
It was like there was an explosion of shows that a comic could get on.
01:16:33.000
Commercials, remember Reggie McFadden was a Dr. Pepper commercial.
01:16:39.000
Dude, I talk about Reggie McFadden all the time.
01:16:42.000
He was the guy that when I saw him, I was like, there's no way this guy's not the next Eddie Murphy.
01:16:57.000
If you got a diamond mine, I don't think you need that.
01:17:07.000
You don't want to consolidate all your businesses.
01:17:11.000
You would still do stand-up if you had a diamond mine.
01:17:24.000
He was like, how we do it, how we get over, how we get through it.
01:17:37.000
You know, you can release all this stuff, you know, because when I lost my son, everybody's like, hey, man, go sit on the couch and everything.
01:17:46.000
And I actually took the advice and I went down to the VA. And I was because I was so, you know, hurt, broke up.
01:17:54.000
And but you don't get it's not like television.
01:18:01.000
And it was two young guys in there, man, and both of them had like titanium legs and everything.
01:18:05.000
They go, yo, man, I saw you on television, man.
01:18:19.000
I felt sorry for them because these guys look like they're like 18, 20. I'm like, I'm hurt because of the son I lost.
01:18:28.000
And because of what happened to them, they may not even get to have a...
01:18:36.000
So what stand-up brought me, not talking about him, but just still getting down because that's...
01:18:44.000
Because of him, I had the nerve to do it in the first place.
01:18:49.000
I went to a comedy club, my first open mic, and this guy, Kevin Lee, was juggling, and he dropped the bowling ball.
01:19:02.000
And he's spraying him from behind the back with Lysol.
01:19:14.000
And then William Stevenson goes up and goes, next we got a new guy!
01:19:18.000
Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Tony Woods.
01:19:48.000
You were talking about a guy juggling on stage and dropping a ball, but I didn't know where you were going with it.
01:19:56.000
Your son encouraging you to do stand-up and help you get over your son.
01:20:02.000
And when he was born, I'm like, shit, I can do this.
01:20:11.000
So that's what really, because I'm like, I am someone's dad.
01:20:20.000
Stand-up comedy cannot be as difficult as this.
01:20:25.000
And so, when I lost him, I wanted to just stop everything.
01:20:31.000
Can't just stop and say, hey everybody, I'm sad.
01:20:37.000
Yes, that is our, you know, look at how fucking funny it's going to be when you go on stage talking about an ant tore your toes up.
01:20:50.000
I think the fun part is going to come in how I kill them all.
01:20:56.000
But just think of somebody who's not a stand-up.
01:20:58.000
Fuck, I gotta take a couple days off work, man.
01:21:15.000
Well, you get different ones, do different things, but I got a high dose vitamin C and NAD combination.
01:21:25.000
And they also put some kind of a dexamiform, I forget what it's called.
01:21:43.000
Because the thing clearly says take one every day.
01:21:50.000
And I drank like three cups of tea the other day.
01:21:58.000
Sorry for the description, but if you really want shit to rock it out of your asshole, drink kale shakes.
01:22:05.000
I used to drink kale shakes every morning, and then I would have these shits where I was like, I gotta get to this toilet in time, and it's all coming out at once.
01:22:25.000
So, you know, I ride my bike, I ride a bike, and I just, you know, went to this place with all this health food shit, and he did the fucking kale shake.
01:22:32.000
I'm like, well, you know, why drink Gatorade when I can drink that?
01:22:38.000
Just because I was almost, my bike was in the car, I was driving.
01:22:43.000
And, you know, I'm driving, I'm like, I ain't gonna make it.
01:22:48.000
I don't want to sit in it, but I ain't going to make it, Sean.
01:22:52.000
So you're like sitting up, you're hunched up while you're driving?
01:22:55.000
I got on bike pants, but I got my shorts on over my bike pants.
01:23:02.000
And just when, you know, when you just go, ee, [...
01:23:48.000
There's a question about whether or not you should have that much raw kale because it's high in oxalates.
01:23:54.000
And in certain individuals, they've had issues with oxalates that lead to things like kidney stones.
01:24:02.000
But the oxalates, I think in high doses, they think like a lot of raw spinach.
01:24:12.000
Too much of it is probably not so good for you.
01:24:14.000
Well, the reason I'm drinking this stuff now is because I went to the doctor like last month, and they said my, what, your PSA? PSA? Uh-huh.
01:24:26.000
Because both my grandfathers both passed from prostate cancer.
01:24:31.000
So he's basically, the doctor said, you don't, what they're doing is I got to go back next week for some more results of more tests.
01:24:41.000
And so far the options, I think it's like some Angelina Jolie stuff.
01:24:45.000
Like he says, with these levels, if it's not there now, it will be soon.
01:24:51.000
So let's just, and I just, I never heard anybody have removing So removing your whole prostate.
01:25:03.000
Is there other ways that they can mitigate that?
01:25:09.000
I read an article about this guy who had very high rates and they wanted him to do something and he decided to try doing a cold plunge every morning and then he went into a ketogenic diet.
01:25:24.000
And apparently he radically lowered his numbers.
01:25:28.000
And it actually even elevated his testosterone.
01:25:31.000
Tell your listeners to help me radically lower mine.
01:25:33.000
Well, I think that might be a way, but do you have a place near you that has a cold plunge?
01:25:50.000
But if you get one that's outside that stays cold all the time, that way you don't have to fill the tub up and every morning you just get in it.
01:26:01.000
You sit in it in your body underwater for like three minutes.
01:26:08.000
I mean, I don't know if this is just his case, but what this guy did was two-fold.
01:26:12.000
He did that every morning, and then he also went on a ketogenic diet.
01:26:17.000
So he stopped eating sugar, he stopped eating anything that is, you know, I think it's like, I don't know what the fat to protein ratio is, but there's like a ratio where your body's just burning off fat.
01:26:32.000
And apparently that's a good diet for people that have cancer, too.
01:26:42.000
How I lowered my PSA with ketosis and ice baths.
01:26:59.000
Because the water stays on, like, flowing really fast.
01:27:03.000
So, an email from Morosco power user asked me about the protocol I use to bring my prostate-specific antigen down from 7.0 to 1.8 nanograms per milliliter.
01:27:14.000
It says, I purchased a Morosco about a year ago, blah, blah, blah.
01:27:21.000
The guy's asking the question and say he has his PSA's...
01:27:44.000
The most sensational finding in my blood test results was not so much the improvement in my PSA, but the elevation of my testosterone to levels that were nearly unheard of for an overweight 56-year-old man.
01:27:57.000
I wrote about it in detail and what happened to my testosterone after using ice baths to treat my prostate.
01:28:02.000
I've since updated that article to include more of the science behind how it works and describe what I did that worked for me.
01:28:10.000
However, it's possible that not every man is seeking to boost his testosterone.
01:28:15.000
For example, my girlfriend, who generally seems pleased with the results of my T levels, has already mentioned that she'd rather I didn't do anything to push them higher.
01:28:24.000
But more importantly, some men have experienced concern that their doctors suggested higher testosterone levels may lead to increased prostate cancer risk.
01:28:37.000
But his protocol was kept his ice bath at 34 degrees, plunge up to his neck for two to four minutes, an average of six days a week.
01:28:46.000
So that gives me 20 minutes of extreme cold exposure per week, which is enough to activate my brown fat and maintain high glucose sensitivity.
01:28:54.000
Then fasting for 24 hours once a week, and then cycling in and out of keto.
01:29:00.000
In addition to intermittent fasting, low carb, several days a week, so I can be sure he reaches ketosis.
01:29:06.000
Doesn't stay in ketosis for more than a few days.
01:29:09.000
When I'm ready to come out, I'll indulge with fresh bread or a croissant or a favorite dessert or fruit in season.
01:29:15.000
Okay, I enjoy good red wine, a dark beer, blah, blah, blah.
01:29:22.000
I don't know if the ice bath prostate protocol will work for you.
01:29:26.000
Maybe you'll adopt every practice that worked for me only to discover that it does not work for you.
01:29:31.000
Nevertheless, if you decide to try it, will you share your results?
01:29:41.000
Yeah, you know, because he said it like he was taking out my wisdom tooth, dude.
01:29:50.000
And if this works, I mean, if it worked for that guy, is his level similar to what your level is?
01:30:04.000
You might be able to do it, but you'd have to be real strict with your diet.
01:30:14.000
The time you stop eating that stuff, your body has to still recover from when you're eating it.
01:30:34.000
I also don't think it's the way to go for conservation and animal management.
01:30:40.000
The reality of the world is you have millions of cows and millions of chickens.
01:30:44.000
The real problem in the world when it comes to meat is factory farming.
01:30:50.000
There's a lot of regenerative farms that raise livestock the way people have for thousands and thousands of years.
01:31:15.000
Like, everybody who wants a Caesar salad with chicken breast...
01:31:51.000
It was delicious, but it was just insanely spicy.
01:32:05.000
Okay, you know the cellar, the steps right here, the place right there.
01:32:19.000
I did Boston, and I did a lot of shows at Dangerfields.
01:32:26.000
You know, it didn't even feel like a New York room.
01:32:33.000
I came up to New York for the summer to do my...
01:32:39.000
I think it's 87. So you sent a videotaping of your comedy.
01:32:53.000
I go in with some other guys who's doing reserve duty with me.
01:33:04.000
And I said, yeah, I'm Tony Wilson, gave you a video tape.
01:33:07.000
And she said, okay, well, you know, sit over there, I'll get such and such, whoever.
01:33:10.000
Then he comes out, some other guy comes into the, he, is Tony here?
01:33:25.000
He says, well, the guy, Tony, just came offstage.
01:33:33.000
Went to Dangerfields and went onstage after Roseanne.
01:33:39.000
And I went up there, did another 10-minute spot, kill.
01:33:42.000
And then some guy, I still have not seen this guy.
01:33:59.000
Because I was innocent, but I wasn't that innocent.
01:34:08.000
I knew Dangerfields was definitely not my spot.
01:34:10.000
But when the MC said, Tony, whoever, as I'm walking on stage, I'm like, I'm not going to correct that motherfucker.
01:34:22.000
I figured they just misunderstood my name on the videotape.
01:34:28.000
That the guy had seen my videotape and go, oh, this guy's got to go.
01:34:34.000
But no, they were calling some other name Tony.
01:34:41.000
So when I came back to New York in 91, I never saw that guy.
01:34:54.000
It's funny people that you meet early in your career and just lose touch with them and then catch up with them again.
01:35:03.000
Be a professional comedian for all these many, many years.
01:35:08.000
You meet somebody, and they're really good, really funny, like in the beginning, and then you just run across them and they go, hey, man, how you doing?
01:35:19.000
I always tell my wife about you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:35:36.000
Because I remember being at that crossroad just like he was.
01:35:45.000
I really didn't make up my mind until I was in Birmingham, Alabama with my man, rest in peace again, Vic Henley.
01:35:55.000
And that's when they called me and said, you've been activated.
01:36:00.000
But now they're talking about you've been activated, you're going to the war.
01:36:05.000
And I remember Vic said, man, don't worry about him.
01:36:12.000
As a matter of fact, he used to open up for, uh, what's his name?
01:36:31.000
He used to always say, he said, now didn't I tell you you're gonna be okay?
01:37:02.000
No, he was from Huntsville, Alabama, but we were all on the show.
01:37:06.000
And the guy from the reserve unit, bastard, he held the phone.
01:37:10.000
I was about to go on stage and the lady says, Tony, you got an emergency phone call in the office?
01:37:16.000
Because I'm like, if it wasn't my mom or my wife, you know, about the kids.
01:37:25.000
I figured it was one of my buddies going, hey, man, can you hook me up with a show?
01:37:32.000
I was on stage maybe like 20, 25 minutes, came down, watched the whole Vic Henley show, and then we're going to leave.
01:37:40.000
And then she says, that man's still holding for you in the office town.
01:37:52.000
He says, go ahead, Woods, man, I know that's you.
01:37:55.000
Like that, because as long as they didn't contact me, I didn't have to show up, but I had to show up.
01:38:01.000
And from there, I was supposed to go to, oh, what's it called?
01:38:05.000
So if you didn't answer that phone, you wouldn't have had to go anywhere?
01:38:20.000
You weren't that easy to put your fingers on back then.
01:38:27.000
You know, all you can do is call my house and say, well, let me know when he'll be back or he'll be leaving a message.
01:38:33.000
And if he'd have left a message, he'd know I was not going to answer that shit.
01:38:43.000
And I was supposed to go to Ocala and then Fort Myers and then Key West.
01:38:57.000
But having something that sucks afterwards, you got a lot of shit to talk about.
01:39:12.000
It must have been wild doing stand-up and being in the service at the same time.
01:39:21.000
Well, when I went back, I was a little bit of a celebrity at Camp Lejeune because I was on...
01:39:27.000
A show called Tell Me Something Good on BET. Like, most people didn't have BET back then.
01:39:33.000
As a matter of fact, when a guy told me, he says, hey, did you do a show?
01:39:43.000
He's like another Virgo with a business card to me.
01:39:46.000
Yeah, man, I produced this and I produced that.
01:40:02.000
My wife called me, and my dispatcher said, yo, you got to give a landline and give the rest of your packages off to such and such.
01:40:13.000
So I call, and she said, you got to go home, and da-da-da-da, and you should wear this and wear that and wear this.
01:40:18.000
She said, you going to be on television this evening.
01:40:22.000
And she says, yeah, the guy from BET called, and I called him back, and blah, blah, blah.
01:40:27.000
I'm like, yeah, I met that motherfucker last night.
01:40:30.000
He said he worked for some people called Black Examine Television.
01:40:51.000
For me, because I was like, everybody knew about this network but me?
01:40:56.000
But anyway, so when I'm down in the campus room, people would know me.
01:41:01.000
And this is the misconception about television.
01:41:03.000
Everybody's like, man, what you doing here, man?
01:41:13.000
But people watching on television, they figure...
01:41:20.000
As a matter of fact, we went to go see New Jack City, and the guy says, I got in a fight that night, because I was already frustrated, and Rock was in that.
01:41:40.000
Me and Rock and Tommy Davidson had done a comedy tour called the Slitsmalt Liquor Bull Comedy Tour.
01:42:02.000
And then you see guys you work with, and they're on television and stuff, like, in the movies and stuff, and this fucking asshole's going, you think you bad because you know.
01:42:12.000
And then we got in a fight at, what's the place where you pull up and they roller skate, bring your food?
01:42:18.000
I know what you're talking about when those, yeah, roller diners or whatever they call them.
01:42:36.000
Yeah, because I went to the ATM to get some money, but my ex-wife took all my money because she had power of attorney.
01:42:44.000
So I didn't have money to go see the movie where I saw my buddy in the movie.
01:42:48.000
And then this motherfucker is screaming at me going, yeah.
01:43:04.000
I got to borrow money from one of my other buddies.
01:43:10.000
Next thing you know, he got banana milkshake all over him.
01:43:17.000
I think I was fighting the person who cleared out my bank account.
01:43:26.000
Because we were almost late for the movie, man, because we stopped at three different ATMs.
01:43:51.000
Well, it's definitely the only way, other than time, to take a negative and turn it into a positive.
01:44:02.000
It can change your perspective on things pretty quickly.
01:44:13.000
Yeah, because that's been hanging heavy on me, man, just because that dude said, hey, we'll just remove it.
01:44:21.000
You should probably try this at the very least.
01:44:24.000
And I figured this was just a God sin because all of a sudden, because I'm like, I watch you and I'm like, Joe seems to know a lot of shit.
01:44:34.000
I'm pretty sure he might have an answer that my primary care doctor doesn't have.
01:44:46.000
But I have been doing the cold plunge for months now.
01:44:53.000
But like very regularly, like every day for months.
01:44:58.000
No, I do it because it makes me feel really good.
01:45:01.000
When I do it, then I get out of it, you get this rush of endorphins that last for hours, and you feel amazing.
01:45:13.000
Right next to my mother's primary care doctor on Wisconsin Avenue, and it's not D.C., it's really Bethesda.
01:45:27.000
I'm going to tell you something about racialism.
01:45:33.000
Because I saw the people on the picture sitting in tubs of ice.
01:45:51.000
Because, no, I just had that thought of us leaving out of the doctor's office right here, and it's a place.
01:46:04.000
But on the picture, it's like, you know, it's, yeah, everybody's a Scorpio.
01:46:10.000
Well, there's like a couple of things are happening at the same time.
01:46:13.000
One of them that's happening is your body is...
01:46:17.000
Trying to protect itself by, like, rushing all the blood to the center of your body.
01:46:29.000
And you have a hard time breathing because you can't relax.
01:46:40.000
And if you do it for about, for me it's three minutes.
01:46:44.000
I get out after three minutes and I feel fucking amazing.
01:46:48.000
I feel like more relaxed, more in tune, more ready to go.
01:47:25.000
I know that one right there, and I just remember thinking, see, he's stupid.
01:47:32.000
Because, you know, I tell my kids that, like, how ignorant hate is.
01:47:46.000
You can't just say, I fucking hate all steel pitchers.
01:48:03.000
That woman across the street with the orange dress, you can't say, I fucking hate that lady with the orange dress.
01:48:24.000
I was in a tent and these people rushed by me because the music stopped playing.
01:48:31.000
And they were running, like maybe 10 people, like a small group.
01:48:36.000
And I'm like, fuck, you're not going to miss that much of the...
01:48:40.000
And they go by me, because the hallway is round, because the tent is round.
01:48:57.000
And then I always say, because this is what happened, like four or five guys who sound like they've been eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, With no jelly.
01:49:14.000
And they were popping him with some little thing and they pulled him.
01:49:32.000
It's weird because when they're young, there's a lot of supervisors in the room.
01:49:42.000
And then when they get a little bit older, someone always has to separate you from the cats.
01:49:47.000
But then when it gets to the big ones, those big ones just lay there like this.
01:49:58.000
So you have drugged up tigers in a cage, and people sit next to them.
01:50:06.000
So the point I was making about how silly race is and how stupid it is, because when they almost knocked me down, you know, I got not popcorn, but actual corn on a cob that I bought from the vendor.
01:50:29.000
But that's not what I said right then, under my breath.
01:50:32.000
I didn't say that loud, but then I turned around.
01:50:41.000
I don't know how that explains itself, but you know what I mean?
01:50:46.000
Because at first, I was just saying something bad about them because they almost knocked my soda down and my corn.
01:50:54.000
But it could have been a group of black people, which I know would have got knocked down because they would have been running faster.
01:51:10.000
Like, if there was a tiger behind you, you say, ah!
01:51:24.000
And I think somebody could have said, run dude, a tiger's coming.
01:51:37.000
If I was running and you were coming this way, I would go, dude, here comes a tiger!
01:51:48.000
That's gotta be one of the most terrifying ways to die.
01:52:04.000
But I'm just thinking for us, it'd be one of the scariest.
01:52:20.000
Have you ever noticed a lot of animals, like you were talking about how the chimps ate the monkeys?
01:52:51.000
Imagine if there were things as big as chimps that ate us.
01:52:55.000
You have to be real careful when you go outside.
01:52:59.000
Because nature does have this very strange balance.
01:53:02.000
Like, I watch a lot of videos on praying mantises.
01:53:22.000
They hang around bird feeders and they snatch hummingbirds out of the air.
01:53:33.000
And so the video that I watched was these ants killing a praying mantis.
01:53:38.000
The praying mantis was trying to kill the ants, but the ants like swarmed on top of them and then systematically cut off his head.
01:53:53.000
Yeah, Jamie's gotta find Praying Mantis gets Hummingbird.
01:54:02.000
When Christopher Walken was the praying mantis?
01:54:29.000
I mean, look at that fucking power that insect has.
01:54:39.000
They didn't want it to keep happening, which is rude.
01:55:09.000
Arachnids, like spiders, they're so much stronger than they would be if they were a person, like with our kind of anatomy.
01:55:19.000
Our size, you know, skin and bones and all that stuff.
01:55:23.000
That design of that exoskeleton design that a lot of these insects have, along with this insane leverage they have.
01:55:32.000
Yeah, but he's also just stupid fucking strong.
01:55:38.000
They're so much stronger than a little mammal would be if it was that size.
01:56:04.000
I mean, look at the hooks that he has for these arms.
01:56:12.000
So I don't like this, because they're showing this to us.
01:56:33.000
Oh yeah, there's a website for this where you can watch all sorts of insects go at it.
01:56:47.000
I would not want to watch a dogfight, but I do not mind watching Mantis and Scorpions do battle with each other.
01:57:15.000
Yeah, there's other bugs that the mantis wants.
01:57:50.000
Bro, if he eats this fucking scorpion, think about how small that thing is in comparison to the scorpion.
01:58:34.000
If I was them too, I'd make you a pay-per-view for that.
01:58:42.000
It couldn't break through the scorpion's tissue.
01:59:31.000
Because this is so tiny that we don't understand how wild this is.
01:59:39.000
If we were watching this and these are big, like the size of lions, you know how amazing this would be?
01:59:53.000
But even weirder, because these insects, the way insects look...
02:00:07.000
I don't know if the Queen would risk it all for that, but these ants just chopped the shit out of this dude.
02:00:15.000
Look how many of them are coming out of the hole too.
02:00:32.000
Like, this is why, look, they just cut his fucking head off.
02:00:49.000
If we went to another planet and we saw things like this, but they were big, like German Shepherd size, we're observing that, people would be utterly fascinated.
02:00:59.000
Look how many of them there are together in this little canal.
02:01:14.000
You know, we're only amazed by things that are...
02:01:20.000
Like an ant is this big, I wonder what does an ant go?
02:01:28.000
Have you ever seen what happens with the cordyceps mushroom in ants?
02:01:34.000
Cordyceps mushroom can infect ants, and it makes them grow spores out of their body.
02:01:41.000
So mushroom spores, and then the spores explode, infecting the whole colony.
02:01:48.000
So these ants know when an ant's been infected, and they know that it's going to explode.
02:01:58.000
So they're dragging it out like it's a time-release bomb.
02:02:01.000
And they're hoping they get outside of their village before it blows up.
02:02:06.000
Because if it doesn't, all the other people see it growing out of his head.
02:02:12.000
The cordyceps mushroom has infected this ant and now it's using its body to grow.
02:02:18.000
It's the premise behind that zombie show on HBO, The Last of Us.
02:02:28.000
Because this fungus, when it pops, it blows all these spores in the air.
02:02:36.000
And when it blows all these spores in the air, then...
02:02:42.000
I mean, imagine if you found a family member lying there with a giant spore growing out of its back, a giant sack of spores, just whatever it is for a mushroom, and it's just ready to spray.
02:03:00.000
And you just got a greasy bandana tied around your head, hoping they don't get you, and where you're dragging this body out of town.
02:03:14.000
It's like somebody swallowed a bomb with their fungus.
02:03:24.000
Like if that happened and people like burst, people got infected by cortisol mushrooms in like a subway and burst out into the subway and coughed and sprayed, all those people would be infected.
02:03:37.000
With all the mantis crazy videos you've seen, and that ant is being controlled by that cordyceps mushroom, which is not a parasite, but many mantises are controlled by this horsehair parasite.
02:03:54.000
When you put the mantises in water, that black snake comes out of its asshole.
02:04:28.000
And he's the praying man that's just going, I'm gonna die.
02:04:38.000
It's just like an evil snake that lives in its body.
02:04:48.000
Like, just thinking that something like that would live in something that size.
02:05:15.000
It would probably just make more of those in its gut.
02:05:18.000
Is that just regular water or they got something in it?
02:05:23.000
I wonder, like, if you eat it, if that thing grows in your gut.
02:05:46.000
He was sick and his buddy said, I killed a bird, I did this.
02:05:55.000
Is that a large percentage of mantises are infected by that?
02:06:02.000
This other article about it says that the parasite is what forces him to go into water.
02:06:12.000
Oh, so the parasite forces them to go into water so it can hatch?
02:06:18.000
Well, that was the case with grasshoppers, right?
02:06:21.000
With grasshoppers, we talked about that before.
02:06:23.000
It was that there's this parasite that's some sort of a worm, aquatic worm, and it grows inside the grasshopper's body and then convinces the grasshopper to commit suicide so it can be born.
02:06:38.000
So it just takes over the grasshopper's brain, like, get in that water, bitch!
02:06:57.000
A praying mantis, can he beat up a grasshopper?
02:06:59.000
Oh yeah, praying mantis will fuck up a grasshopper.
02:07:04.000
I bet a lot of the insects have parasites inside of them.
02:07:18.000
Oh yeah, that's VD. But a lot of people have toxoplasmosis.
02:07:27.000
Toxoplasmosis, I think it's called Toxoplasmosis gondii.
02:07:35.000
So the way cats get it is they get it from rats.
02:07:39.000
And when rats get it, rats, for whatever reason, when they get this parasite, their testes swell up, they get hard-ons, and they get sexually aroused at the smell of cat urine.
02:07:53.000
So it tricks their body into thinking that cat urine, it's like it tricks their, hijacks their sexual reward system to like seek out cat urine.
02:08:02.000
So they're going after cat urine and it erases their fear of cats.
02:08:05.000
So what it's doing is encouraging them to get killed by cats.
02:08:09.000
So the cats eat them and the only way this toxoplasmosis reproduces is inside the guts of a cat.
02:08:19.000
And that's why they tell pregnant women to never handle cat litter.
02:08:22.000
Because you can handle cat litter and get toxo and it can be very bad for you and the baby.
02:08:28.000
Napoleon's retreating army felled by parasites.
02:08:35.000
Ever since his catastrophic retreat from Moscow, the terrible losses suffered by Napoleon's soldiers have been blamed on hunger and the biting cold of the Russian winter.
02:08:49.000
But according to new research by French scientists, the fabled Grand Armée, reduced to 30,000 men by December of 1812 from a total of 600,000 to 700,000 just six months earlier, was actually felled by parasites.
02:09:05.000
Researchers led by Dider-Rault of the National Science Research Center in Marseille.
02:09:15.000
Have analyzed the DNA of 72 teeth extracted from 35 skeletons removed from a mass military grave near Vilnius in present-day Lithuania in 1995. They found minute traces of microbes associated with typhus and trench fever,
02:09:32.000
deadly diseases transmitted by fleas and lice in the dental matter of 10 Neapolic soldiers, the newspaper Le Figaro reported yesterday.
02:10:06.000
It said cold and hunger did most of it, but great tolls definitely from disease.
02:10:12.000
And if you're cold and hungry, you're bottled up together.
02:10:15.000
We're talking about 600,000 people dying from either being cold or fleas.
02:10:32.000
And then the sanitary conditions when you have that many bodies.
02:10:40.000
Who's healthy enough to move these bodies around?
02:10:43.000
And just imagine you build a house on that land.
02:10:52.000
That's my absolute favorite story of World War I. What?
02:10:57.000
In World War I, they had to have a ceasefire between the Germans and the Russians because there were so many of them getting killed by wolves.
02:11:04.000
So they said, let's stop killing each other and kill these fucking wolves.
02:11:07.000
And so they killed the wolves and then went back to killing each other.
02:11:14.000
But I'm sure the wolves are like these guys out here fucking up.
02:11:17.000
Well, what would happen is they were fighting trench warfare so someone would get shot and they would be screaming and maybe they'd be way the fuck over there and it's nighttime and these wolves get in those trenches and they smell blood and they'll pull that motherfucker out of the trench.
02:11:32.000
So people were screaming, screaming while they're getting eaten alive by wolves.
02:11:37.000
So you're sitting there huddled with your rifle You can't jump up because the Germans will shoot you.
02:11:48.000
They were sending scouts out, and they would disappear.
02:11:53.000
And then they'd go find a boot, and they're torn apart, bloody clothing.
02:11:58.000
And they realized these people were getting swarmed by wolves.
02:12:00.000
There were so many wolves up there that the wolves had taken to hunting people because they'd eaten so many soldiers.
02:12:12.000
Dead human beings left on the battlefield in World War I were a primary food source to the wolves in that area.
02:12:20.000
And I imagine it's just like the lions again because it's easier.
02:12:26.000
You know how many people have to get killed by wolves before you decide to have a fucking meeting with your fellow humans that you were just killing six months ago?
02:12:41.000
We gotta admit, we hate each other, but we hate wolves more.
02:12:50.000
That's what Little Red Riding Hood was all about.
02:12:52.000
That was what the Three Little Pigs were all about.
02:12:57.000
And somewhere along the line, people forgot to be scared of them when they killed them all off in the West.
02:13:10.000
The wolf was probably one of the first members of the LBGSTMJ. Because remember, he just went in there to put on that dress, man.
02:13:25.000
Because she knew it was him, but she's like, what big eyes you have?
02:13:31.000
She's like, because she knows she can't run from him.
02:13:53.000
It's like a really stereotypical image of a Jewish person.
02:14:00.000
And it's a weird cartoon, man, because they changed it later on, and they changed it into a wolf.
02:14:09.000
Because with AI today, you never know when you're getting fooled by something.
02:14:24.000
This is like the best PBS. Which is the one when the wolf is knocking at the door?
02:15:31.000
Imagine being a dude who sells brushes back in those days.
02:16:00.000
He did a movie where he's a guy and he's an immigrant.
02:16:04.000
He comes from Europe and he works in a pickle factory killing rats.
02:16:21.000
And this is his great-great-grandson or something.
02:16:27.000
But he's killing rats, and then one day the rats attack him, and he falls into a pickle barrel.
02:16:34.000
The place closes down and all this other stuff.
02:16:45.000
And he comes back and then boom, and they go, the only living relative you got is this guy.
02:16:49.000
And he's like, because he knows how poor he was.
02:17:00.000
Because for him, he just wanted to have more than one pair of socks.
02:17:11.000
And now he's got a fucking salsa machine in the kitchen.
02:17:16.000
Hey coach, you were doing really well for yourself then.
02:17:21.000
It's just a sign of the times like a guy who was an alright guy back then is a piece of shit now because the things he said and the views that this great, great, great grandpa.
02:17:36.000
They used to beat women up in old movies all the time.
02:17:53.000
I just saw a movie with Sammy Davis Jr., It's an old movie with Sammy Davis Jr. I think he's making fun of Miles Davis.
02:18:01.000
But he's a really good trumpet player, but he's an asshole.
02:18:05.000
And he's playing this new kind of jazz or whatever.
02:18:22.000
She's in it, and her and Cicely Tyson get into an argument, whatever, and then Sammy Davis Jr. just comes up and boom!
02:18:38.000
I think it was, and he used all real jazz musicians.
02:18:53.000
It's called, I don't know the name of it, but Sammy Davis Jr. It's got a lot of, Morgan Freeman is in it, but he doesn't have a speaking part.
02:19:03.000
And so Sammy Davis Jr. is supposed to be making fun of Miles Davis?
02:19:08.000
He's a good trumpet player, because all the jazz guys are in it except Miles Davis.
02:20:36.000
Because if you ever listen to, like, a real solo, like someone who's really good...
02:21:06.000
There's no way a guy who plays drums this good would ever accept using a fake trumpet sound.
02:21:16.000
I guarantee that guy could probably play everything.
02:21:20.000
You don't think Sammy Javits Jr. could play everything?
02:22:10.000
Who would be the elite of jazz trumpet players?
02:22:22.000
And we were trying to debate whether or not Sammy Davis Jr. really played it.
02:22:46.000
I was googling four things at once here because I was trying to find better evidence of him playing that while I was trying to find what you were asking for too.
02:22:54.000
But as I was thinking of why I was saying that is because I was thinking of this scene in Crossroads the whole time where Ralph Macchio is playing guitar against Steve Vai and it looks like he's playing guitar because in some of these scenes he is.
02:23:09.000
He's not good enough to be in a solo battle against him.
02:23:13.000
But don't you think the technology was far different in the Sammy Davis Jr. times?
02:23:20.000
Yeah, I think splicing the sound in there and having it sync up perfectly, that's not an easy task back then.
02:23:28.000
I mean, I guess it probably could be done by a wizard of special effects, or you could just play Sammy Davis Jr. playing the trumpet, which is what it looks like.
02:23:38.000
I just don't know why everything has to be a conspiracy theory, Jamie.
02:23:44.000
I'll go back and find the clip again, but they're cutting so much.
02:23:47.000
The way that would have been recorded, they could have recorded him playing once and then went back and reenacted him so they could have the camera moving all around him to have that all recorded perfectly and for it to sound as good as it did.
02:24:07.000
So there has to be some sound engineering too, right?
02:24:10.000
Whatever they could do back then in the black and white days.
02:24:13.000
It's called A Man Called Adam is what this movie was called.
02:24:16.000
But let me, can you just show me like Miles Davis playing the trumpet?
02:25:10.000
Is there anything with Miles Davis playing where it's not people talking?
02:26:19.000
It's something that people really love about jazz, the improvised aspect of it.
02:26:28.000
They could smoke cigarettes and play instruments.
02:26:30.000
I didn't really enjoy it that much until just now.
02:26:39.000
I was like, oh, this might be the way to do it.
02:26:41.000
Like, don't do it while you're doing other stuff.
02:26:48.000
I like things without lyrics as background music.
02:26:50.000
When I write, I like to play classical music or maybe music in other languages so I don't know what they're saying.
02:27:02.000
Lately I've been listening to a lot of this healing, this chanting stuff like the waves.
02:27:15.000
And it'll say it heals you or you can sleep for two hours and wake up like you slept for eight hours.
02:27:33.000
I gotta start remembering the names of this shit.
02:27:36.000
I don't know if that helps you where you don't need as much sleep.
02:28:05.000
And when I listen to that music, that's how I feel like I'm on it.
02:28:52.000
Like, if I got to catch a flight at whatever time, at 7, and I know, but I got...
02:28:59.000
And I know I can't afford to sleep too long, but I know if I put that on for two hours, boom, when I do get up, I will get up and I get up and I'm good.
02:29:18.000
So are you listening to this on headphones when you go to sleep?
02:29:21.000
I just play it on my iPad or something like that.
02:29:25.000
Or either I put my earbuds in, but it won't always fall out.
02:29:31.000
Even when they show the picture of the music, it's someone just, he's just floating.
02:29:41.000
And the ones you listen to, like, how long does it go for?
02:29:44.000
They got some of them for ten hours, six hours, three hours.
02:29:48.000
You could just put up there two hours of, sometimes it's under zen sleep music or healing music.
02:30:05.000
Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm kind of interested in it.
02:30:07.000
I'm going to do that shit and I'm going to get in the cold tub at the same time.
02:30:15.000
Because when you see it, you'll see what I'm trying to describe to you, how you feel when you're sleeping.
02:30:22.000
It makes sense because music has such an intense effect on people, intense effect on the way you feel.
02:30:28.000
It gives you goosebumps, gets you excited, gets your body moving.
02:30:32.000
And it just makes sense that it's interacting with us in a way other than like the obvious, we hear it.
02:30:38.000
We don't just hear it, like it gives you emotions.
02:30:46.000
I'll go up, because it's one where a guy's just like laying there.
02:31:20.000
It's also good if you're a YouTube subscriber or whatever.
02:31:33.000
You could have some wild-ass dreams steered by this music.
02:31:40.000
It's like, you know how you're like, uh, none of that.
02:31:55.000
I'm just there somewhere, you know what I'm saying?
02:32:11.000
I've used noise machines before, but I kind of like just sleeping.
02:32:23.000
This is the guy who played the trumpet for you.
02:32:33.000
Oh, so it wasn't actually Sammy Davis' Jr. trumpet?
02:32:39.000
This motherfucker would call him a conspiracy theorist, but he was right.
02:32:44.000
Because I went to school to make sound for movies and stuff.
02:32:56.000
Naively thought that Sammy Davis Jr. wouldn't want another man to play trumpet for him.
02:33:00.000
It's almost impossible for them to record that in that setting and it sounded that good.
02:33:05.000
Because they were in a space with production, there's 100,000 people, you know, there's people around, no one's shutting up.
02:33:13.000
No one can make a sound or it kind of ruins something.
02:33:15.000
If he's playing a one-time performance, interesting.
02:33:18.000
Glasses, people walking in, people walking out, like, you know, they're in New York, so.
02:33:25.000
He said in his first taping, people were walking around in the background and stuff.
02:33:28.000
And the people that, they were like, we can't use this one.
02:33:30.000
He's like, but that's the performance that was good.
02:33:37.000
But he was like, you can't worry about that stuff.
02:34:00.000
That one that he did with Spike Jonze, where they showed the background.
02:34:08.000
Like, I didn't understand why they would do that.
02:34:09.000
Like, you could see the people working backstage while he was on stage.
02:34:15.000
Instead of, like, straight on at him, it was, like, at an angle where you could see, like, the sound guy and everybody.
02:34:29.000
And it was like this weird choice that they had decided to make.
02:34:33.000
Have it shot where it looks more, I guess, more organic.
02:34:48.000
So like, there would be people walk, see where his right hand is?
02:35:01.000
But I guess it's like to give you this feeling that you're in...
02:35:13.000
But it's like, why is there people walking behind Aziz?
02:35:17.000
Why am I looking at people walking in the background?
02:35:21.000
Yeah, because it seems like it would be distracting.
02:35:29.000
And the room upstairs, they got the window open.
02:35:35.000
Because I can't talk to y'all with these people.
02:35:40.000
They're doing stuff back there, and they're not paying attention.
02:35:51.000
Yeah, but that's another one of those ones like, you know, a comedian didn't set that up.
02:35:56.000
I did the club that me and Louie did in Rotterdam.
02:36:03.000
So if you ever go to Rotterdam, you gotta do that.
02:36:06.000
As a matter of fact, the last time I was there, I did footage, hour footage.
02:36:22.000
But they understand you because they speak like three languages.
02:36:27.000
Dutch is French, English, and German mixed together.
02:36:37.000
So if you ever pop over there, you got to do that.
02:36:49.000
Like, we're basically, you either speak Spanish in this country, or you speak English.
02:36:54.000
Or you speak English and Spanish, or you speak a gang of different languages.
02:36:57.000
In Holland, they understand us better than they do English people.
02:37:05.000
If I was gonna learn a second language, that seems like the most useful one.
02:37:19.000
Plus, that one you have to learn a whole different alphabet.
02:37:22.000
You have to learn the way they write their letters and everything.
02:37:29.000
We all stop popping out like that ant who had that fungus.
02:37:41.000
Do you get worried about this whole Ukraine war thing?
02:37:53.000
He's doing a spot at the Comedy Cafe over in Amsterdam.
02:38:18.000
Like, you can't just print anything you want in the news.
02:38:21.000
You can't just, you know, they don't have the kind of freedom to talk about stories that we have in America.
02:38:34.000
So if you're over there, you want to believe what they tell you?
02:38:41.000
What do the people in Russia think is going on with Ukraine?
02:38:47.000
Of course, one of the other comedians said something to them about the war.
02:38:57.000
Are there the Russian equivalents to people that tell you that Trump won the election?

This guy, whoever he is, is a big comedian in Russia.
02:39:37.000

02:42:06.000
But they don't see their penises, so who knows what's really going on.
02:42:50.000
Tell everybody your social media so they can follow you.
