00:04:27.000Well, sometimes they'll tell you a story and then they're holding the scissors and I told that motherfucker and you're like, oh my god, please cut my hair.
00:04:33.000Don't just fucking kidnap me and force me to listen to this story that has no ending.
00:04:40.000About someone who disrespected you at work.
00:06:24.000That's exactly my philosophy on all that sort of self-restraint and discipline is that every time you do something like that, it's a victory.
00:06:32.000Every time you don't do it, it's a defeat.
00:07:15.000It's like, you know, you get to a point in your life where maybe you have a bunch of goals and you scratch them off.
00:07:21.000In some ways, the most lost I was at 50, I think, I drew a line through a lot of the things I came to L.A. to do.
00:07:31.000And what I realized was that I'm not made to just...
00:07:36.000You need a challenge, but more importantly, I think there's something that you gain from the idea that anything that happens to you, I don't care, especially bad things, especially discomfort, especially something new,
00:07:51.000especially something that's painful or creates anxiety or just the unknown.
00:07:57.000I think that all of those things can truly be looked at as good.
00:08:01.000And the reason they should be looked at as good is more, in fact, better for you than the good things that happen a lot of times, is a very simple reason.
00:08:11.000If you take the perspective that it is, you can call it God, the universe, I don't care what you call it, it is the order of things Instead of looking at what you can get from the universe, look at it as what the universe is trying to get from you.
00:08:27.000So anything you go through that's difficult, that's very uncomfortable, is there to make you grow.
00:08:33.000There are hidden gifts in that great unknown, in that chaos.
00:08:38.000And if you embrace it properly, you will come out the other side proud of yourself, much stronger and with deeper understanding.
00:08:47.000Maybe more empathy at the end of the day for everything.
00:08:50.000Yeah, it's that old expression, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
00:10:48.000Like, right when you're not scared of everything anymore, when it wears off, you're like, oh my god, I can't wait to get on stage and just be free.
00:12:22.000But ancient Hebrew is a fucking super complicated language where the letters double as numbers.
00:12:28.000So there's numerical value to all the words.
00:12:32.000So we'd lost all that in the translation to Latin.
00:12:36.000To Greek to English like there's so much confusion as to what the original meaning of the word was I'm sure you've like Read a tweet before that was like in Russian and then you press the translate button And then it gives you this like broken English version of what they're trying to say well without the context of their language understand how they use grammar It's very confusing when you're translating things and then you have these ancient ways of describing things Right where it's like it's so hard to understand what their point of reference
00:13:06.000was like the way they were describing things is it's very different the way they say things than we do so that's open to interpretation and Then on top of that you clearly have the work of man So if this wasn't an enlightened encounter with some divine being that gave forth incredible wisdom to people Along with it became there's some fuckery got added.
00:13:30.000And so the question is like how much fuckery because you know, it's not zero There's never been a Siri never ever been a person in a position of power over a kingdom that didn't lie Yeah, they didn't manipulate that didn't control the masses they didn't If they were in control of whatever the religious documents were,
00:15:02.000All the power in the world commanded armies, ran everything, and anyone would be seduced by that prospect.
00:15:09.000It'd be pretty cool to be at the top of the mountain.
00:15:12.000Yet somehow there's a guy who was a radical rabbi, which just really means teacher, a first century Jew who at the prime of his life is killed, tortured, put up on a cross,
00:15:28.000and despite him being quote-unquote God or very close to divinely inspired, he gets tortured and put on a cross.
00:16:11.000Not a way, if you want to get successful, but yet we revere that person.
00:16:16.000Somehow, all of us, atheists, Christians, whoever it is, somehow, nostalgically, or in our imagination, know that the way he walked that path Even if it ends in total ruin, that path somehow has more power.
00:16:36.000Even if we try to emulate it to a lesser degree, somehow there seems to dovetail It seems to dovetail with something we would call the truth,
00:16:58.000We don't talk about Julius Caesar or anybody who accomplishes crazy things the way we talk about people like Mohandas K. Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, people that were emulating this idea, the idea of passive resistance, the idea of turning the other cheek,
00:17:13.000and then a guy like Christ, the Buddha.
00:17:38.000And I find it very interesting that if you were to just accept that the laws that are laid down in this scripture, let's say the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Quran, the Abrahamic religions,
00:17:55.000I'm just going to talk about that for a second, there's a lot of self-restriction in that.
00:19:14.000Yes, but more in belief in something higher than himself.
00:19:18.000I think that we are in deep trouble if we don't have a transcendent truth we believe in.
00:19:27.000That's where I disagree with Sam Harris.
00:19:29.000Because Sam is a very smart guy and I think is a very – I love listening to him and I agree with a lot what he says.
00:19:36.000But Sam – I think Sam makes the argument that if you look at nature, the golden rule, treat your neighbor as you would treat your neighbor as you treat yourself or whatever.
00:22:58.000Because there is some beauty in the story, and there is some tragedy in the story, and there's this weird human element where this clearly gay guy who's in the closet is out wandering around in the woods pretending he's protecting grizzly bears.
00:25:13.000Incredibly present in their DNA. So what happens is, if you have a child in that house, when you leave, that dog, that wolf considers that child to be lower.
00:25:34.000They're great dogs, but a lot of people actually testified at these things, at these, because the, at the lawsuits and things, because those dogs, they're wolves and they look at children as being below them on the pack.
00:25:48.000So there's always a chance they're going to take that competitor out.
00:28:54.000He goes, because I've never felt that kind of pressure on my arm, and I'm a really strong guy, but I said, oh yeah.
00:29:01.000And Matt, who's a SEAL, he goes, your body shuts down.
00:29:04.000When you get bit like that by a dog like that, even a 65-pound dog, a lot of times what happens is the nerves get crushed, so you can't use that arm.
00:29:28.000That's why Rottweilers, I heard, they don't use rots anymore.
00:29:31.000Because they were harder to recall and their mouths are so big and they bite so hard that, yeah, it causes permanent damage and the cops were getting sued.
00:31:07.000So these Green Berets are with the Brazilian Special Forces, and in the middle of the night, they go, get in the water, you guys are going to swim two miles.
00:31:19.000And then they were shining a spotlight on the banks of the river, and you could just see these eyes.
00:31:24.000They're like, don't swim to the bank, don't swim to the bank.
00:34:44.000Like, there are too many contradictions.
00:34:45.000That's why I don't get hung up on the details.
00:34:46.000I'm just more interested in the overall arching idea that I do think there is something called truth, and I think there's something called a lie.
00:34:55.000I think there's something called a good way to live and a bad way to live.
00:34:58.000And I think if you extrapolate in either direction, one leads to something like fulfillment or who you're supposed to be, and then the other leads to who you're not supposed to be.
00:35:28.000I think that anytime you go through any kind of loss or destruction or hardship, you have a better chance at seeing something you wouldn't if you came from nothing but comfort, safety,
00:35:44.000and something like the Garden of Eden.
00:37:00.000This equation actually is what I've been looking for and what we need to do such and such and such and such.
00:37:06.000So all of a sudden, it bears material reality.
00:37:10.000And I think that that's an example of maybe something that is grounded in the human mind that doesn't have to have its roots in experience, doesn't have to have its roots in what you can touch and what you can measure,
00:37:32.000That's the difference between a human being, say, and chat GPT, or artificial intelligence.
00:37:38.000The idea that artificial intelligence is working on a model that already exists.
00:37:43.000It's sourcing from everything that's already been.
00:37:47.000Something like the theory of relativity, or something like a theoretical math theorem, or for that matter, even something that's really beautiful.
00:37:54.000I don't know what it would be, like the Sistine Chapel.
00:38:30.000It's not just, you know, so I can have more food and I can watch more stuff.
00:38:35.000Anybody who's had all that, sensation doesn't do the trick, man.
00:38:39.000You can follow all the sensation you want.
00:38:42.000There also seems to be something with creating something as undeniably amazing and beautiful like St. Peter's Basilica, where when you walk in there, it's so overwhelmingly beautiful that everyone gasps and all these people are looking around.
00:38:59.000And isn't that, in a sense, doesn't that mimic the divine force of creation in the universe?
00:39:41.000Meaning, you forget you have to go to the bathroom, you have to have sex, you have to eat, you have to make money.
00:39:46.000Something about that arrested development, that sort of in high relief, you kind of go, you just get, you're awed by something that is possible.
00:40:38.000You know, you watch an amazing musician do something on a guitar like Jeff Beck and create a sound you hadn't heard, or the Sistine Chapel, or whatever it might be, and you just go, how did you do that, man?
00:40:52.000And then there's a similar feeling that you get when you see mountains.
00:40:56.000Like, if you are on a ridge and you're looking out and you're seeing these snow-capped mountains and a creek running through it and deer walking by, you're like, holy shit is this beautiful.
00:43:30.000By the way, I don't know if you've heard the rumor, but Masvidal looked at Brennan yesterday on Fighter and Kid and said, hey man, you could always step in the old cage again.
00:45:55.000He looked at the weigh-ins, he had abs.
00:45:57.000You look at him like, because he used to have to starve himself to make 265. So he would really like be undisciplined about it and go where he had to go three days without eating.
00:52:08.000No, Brennan, he's not going to do it until I got to push him a little more.
00:52:12.000They're talking about, Derrick is a free agent now, and they're talking about maybe Derrick going over to the PFL and getting $2 million to fight Francis.
00:52:20.000Well, you know who's going to be bare-knuckling?
00:52:22.000Do you know Jorge Masvidal on September 8th, who's fighting?
00:53:49.000Fabricio was so dangerous because his guard was just as lethal as his top game.
00:53:55.000A lot of times those big guys, with the exception of Frank Mir, who also had a super, super lethal guard as a heavyweight, most of those really big guys, they're always on top in the training room, right?
00:54:06.000They're 250, 260, they're just driving on top of you and they're getting mount and, you know, they use that strength and that pressure for their game.
00:56:53.000Every time you're in there, I would imagine at least, every time you're in there, it's a unique experience that adds to your repertoire of understanding what this thing is and how this is different than gloved MMA or boxing.
00:58:49.000If you're a human being, if somehow or another Mighty Mouse fucks up and that guy can pick him up and slam him into the ground, I don't know how much Mighty Mouse is going to be able to physically do to mitigate that.
00:59:00.000If that guy knows how to pick people up, if he has any wrestling at all, he's so big.
00:59:05.000And Mighty Mouse is, you know, he probably walks around at $1.50 or $1.45 and he cuts down to $1.25.
01:03:47.000In the Olympic trials, he suffered a severe neck injury, fracturing two of his cervical vertebrae, herniating two discs, and pulling four muscles.
01:03:55.000Nonetheless, Angle won the trials, and then spent the subsequent five months resting and rehabilitating.
01:04:25.000There's nothing you can do about that.
01:04:26.000But the way you work out now, like I work out, I still work out with Lou Parada, the greatest, one of my favorite people on the planet, a 66-year-old guy, a strong man, been working out his whole life.
01:07:10.000It's like there's a direct correlation between longevity and muscle mass.
01:07:15.000And there's also, from preventing injuries, from a preventing injury standpoint, just being more resilient if you fall, things along those lines.
01:07:47.000So what I do is, it depends on the day, like some days I'll do a bodyweight routine, which is much more cardiovascular intense.
01:07:54.000But when I do the kettlebell routine, I warm up with 35s, and then I do a couple of sets with 50s, where I'm just basically doing like 10 reps, getting things going, and then I switch to 70s.
01:08:08.000And the 70s is when I'm doing my heavy shit.
01:08:11.000That's what I'm doing like gorilla cleans, where you're like switching arms.
01:08:16.000That's why I'm doing clean press and squats.
01:11:42.000It's the most fun, but I realized like I really can't do that right now.
01:11:46.000I could still punch the bag, but I'm like for a long time.
01:11:49.000So like for like a fucking year, I barely kicked the bag.
01:11:52.000Like I would every now and then walk up to and tap it a little bit, but Now it finally doesn't hurt anymore.
01:11:57.000And after all the stem cell treatments and all the strength and conditioning routines that I put it through, now it just occasionally gets sore, but it's nothing like what it used to be before.
01:12:08.000Oh, I have two reconstructed knees, and the left one I had some meniscus removed, and recently, like about two years ago, I suffered an MCL tear.
01:12:57.000I'm watching you do that going, fucking, if I had been there, I'd been like, it's like Schaub trying to race fucking Chappelle in a race without warming up.
01:13:07.000I go, you're going to fucking blow your hamstring.
01:16:52.000People who do that, I love the greatest quote I ever heard Jordan Peterson say was, in my 35 years of analysis, I've never seen anyone get away with anything ever even once.
01:18:29.000It's um, it's an amazing thing how as you Grow older and you have more life experiences your perspective kind of like Titans and moves and you as you get older and as you see the world with more and more experience you get a better and clearer picture and it makes you wonder and How limited were humans when they only lived to be like 30?
01:18:56.000How much did people really have a chance to expand and figure things out?
01:19:00.000I don't know because a lot of great things were discovered or created probably then too.
01:19:05.000I think when you're very aware of how finite your life is, and when you're very aware that you are a victim to forces that are so much stronger than yourself, whether it's disease, first of all, losing a child.
01:19:25.000Lincoln lost, I think, four of his children.
01:19:27.000Mary Todd ended up in a mentalist institution because she lost four of her children, two diseases, they don't even know what they were, a fever, probably diphtheria or whatever it was.
01:19:38.000They would just roll through towns and it didn't matter who you were.
01:19:52.000But I think that sometimes when you're aware that there is a clock, and that clock might ding at any moment.
01:20:00.000In Japan, when you get sentenced to death, they don't tell you what the date is.
01:20:05.000You just sit in your cell and they show up when it's your turn.
01:20:10.000It's an interesting idea because there's something about focusing your mind.
01:20:16.000This might be your last day, and it might be for everyone.
01:20:20.000Things have a different gravity to them.
01:20:22.000And I think that that's where you get, you know, amazing...
01:20:25.000I don't know if I'm right about this, but I do think that there is something to be said about having very limited time, even living with pain.
01:21:11.000But here's my thought on what you were saying.
01:21:15.000Here's my thought on the idea of when life was kind of brutish and short and all that.
01:21:20.000I think it's actually, in a way, it's not an accident that some of the greatest literature was written, like Dostoevsky, who was...
01:21:33.000Living in that rudimentary world and you have these great works of art.
01:21:38.000I think part of it is what happens is if you are basically, you don't know when you're going to die because the universe is that much of a mystery.
01:21:47.000I don't know when a disease is coming.
01:21:48.000I don't know when invaders are coming and they're going to enslave me.
01:23:00.000No, the only case he's going to have real trouble with.
01:23:02.000I think the other, the Bragg, Alvin Bragg case in, I think it's New York, is a bullshit case where it's this obscure thing.
01:23:09.000You got these prosecutors that are looking, they're being very, very creative with the law, right?
01:23:14.000Typically with laws, it's called meat and potatoes laws.
01:23:17.000You're supposed to, when somebody breaks a law and there's a law that's passed, it's supposed to be something that somebody who doesn't have a law degree can understand.
01:23:25.000And if you look at Jack Smith, who's the prosecutor in this January 6th thing, What he's being charged with, I think, is a form of fraud defrauding the American voter, which is saying,
01:23:40.000I won the election when he knows he lost, but he never ever admitted that he lost.
01:23:46.000They can't find anybody who said that.
01:23:49.000But the one issue he's going to have is the mishandling of classified documents, because they have them on tape saying, I know this is classified and Then I think he has a guy – they have him talking to one of his staff saying, get rid of this.
01:24:04.000That's going to be a tough one for him.
01:24:06.000But I think the other two indictments are – What are the punishments of mishandling classified documents?
01:24:10.000There are people right now who are in jail for doing that.
01:26:43.000If you're not going to vote in primaries, we're always going to have the candidates that the most extreme elements of each party nominates.
01:26:51.000If you want DeSantis or you want someone else, you better vote in the primary.
01:26:54.000If you don't vote in the primary, nobody does, including me, so I'm not scolding anybody.
01:27:01.000You're getting the people that the diehard Republicans, diehard Democrats, and the most active members of that party are going to nominate.
01:27:27.000Now, the only thing that, like, if DeSantis crushes in, first of all, I think he should go back to being governor for four more years, but if he wins, like, the first two states, like New Hampshire and Iowa, and gets a lot of press for that, there's a chance that there can be some,
01:27:43.000you know, but I don't think so otherwise.
01:27:48.000The audio recording comes from a July 2021 interview Trump gave at his Bedminster Resort for people working on the memoir of Mark Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff.
01:27:57.000Special Counselor's indictment alleges that those in attendance, a writer, publisher, and two of Trump's staff members, were shown classified information about the plan of attack on Iran.
01:28:19.000He says, there was no document that was a massive amount of papers and everything else talking about Iran and other things, Trump said on Fox.
01:28:27.000And it may have been held up or may not, but that was not a document.
01:28:40.000Well, if that's true, that's a completely different thing.
01:28:44.000Then that sounds like they're saying that he showed them classified documents and he's saying I showed them a massive amount of papers and I didn't show them anything specifically.
01:28:55.000And saying that there was nothing to declassify.
01:28:59.000If he's telling the truth, these were newspaper stories, magazines, stories, and articles.
01:29:29.000And there is, this guy, Devin Archer, said that Biden was on the phone on behalf of his son 20 times, uh, And that was Devin Archer, who's also going to jail.
01:29:40.000Now, that was Hunter Biden's business partner.
01:29:43.000And he said he personally witnessed that.
01:29:45.000And he said that under sworn testimony.
01:29:47.000There is enough evidence to at least investigate the idea that maybe Biden took a $5 million bribe, whatever the case.
01:29:55.000But my point about this is the mainstream media, legacy media, gives that almost no attention.
01:30:02.000I think that the legacy of Donald Trump will be In some ways, the other side was so hysterical about him being a clear and present danger to the United States—and I'm talking about Republicans, I'm talking about the deep state, I'm talking about Democrats,
01:30:18.000I'm talking about a lot of people—that they have behaved in an undemocratic Un-American way.
01:30:27.000And they're bringing these indictments, three of which now, I think, or four, in a period of six months.
01:30:35.000I don't think we want a system like that.
01:30:37.000I don't think you want people running for office and then somebody who's on the other side of the aisle gets real creative with their prosecutorial, you know, with bending the law, figuring out the gray areas of the law.
01:30:49.000And now you're spending all your money on legal fees.
01:31:18.000He never saw any evidence Any evidence that Trump was in collusion with the Russians or that the Russians were interfering in American elections or that whatever.
01:31:30.000There may have been evidence of that, but there was no evidence that Russia and Trump were in collusion.
01:31:51.000And that's what I have a problem with.
01:31:54.000And there's been no acknowledgement, like in mainstream media, that that was a hoax and that he was innocent of what they were accusing him of.
01:32:05.000And they go from that to new accusations.
01:32:08.000So for the casual, for the person that's not doing a deep dive in all these stories and reading all these articles, what you're getting is the narrative that you see in headlines.
01:33:20.000Well, you know, I... It's, you know, and if you say, even if you say that, you're a Trump apologist, but, like, you gotta look at what is going on.
01:33:31.000There's a massive movement to keep this guy from being president again, and some of it you don't want to see happening in a democratic society.
01:34:02.000The frequency of the country, but they're so off and they think they're superior because they're very educated and because they're indoctrinated into this progressive ideology and they think that there's a mandate to not just exist and do your thing,
01:34:18.000but to change the world and mold it into these ideas that you were indoctrinated with.
01:34:25.000Yeah, and there becomes this lateral cooperation with the powers that be.
01:34:31.000And so they can very easily highlight one story and suppress another or just not report on another.
01:34:37.000And when you walk into a newsroom and you're somebody who's looking to speak truth to power and be part of the way the fourth estate should really work, which used to be that journalists were all blue-collar guys and gals who...
01:34:51.000Now you've got people that agree with the idea, for example, that maybe people who are in power with this education know a little bit more than the people that are actually the flyby states.
01:35:11.000It might have been William F. Buckley who said, You have to understand that would you rather be ruled by the Harvard faculty or the first 2,000 names in the Boston phone book?
01:35:21.000If you believe in democracy, you've got to say the first 2,000 names in the Boston phone book.
01:35:26.000It sounds very enticing to get the Harvard faculty.
01:35:34.000But that's not how our grand experiment works.
01:35:37.000And I think this is the greatest country in the world because it always pushes the ideal and the idea that the individual should always supersede the collective.
01:35:50.000That the collective will always become a tyranny and you as an individual have certain inalienable rights that can't be taken away from you no matter which way the wind blows and no matter how strong the collective is.
01:36:20.000Now you have a top-down authority that believes in orchestrating and socially engineering equality at all costs, which means we've got to keep the people that are really excelling, you've got to keep them down a little bit.
01:36:32.000That's why you have congresspeople saying things like, in California, fuck Elon Musk.
01:36:37.000They say stuff like that to a guy who creates that many jobs and is that innovative and that much of a risk taker.
01:36:45.000I worry that human beings naturally, we have an inclination towards competition and we think about things not just for the greater good of the country, but when you're locked into a party war, you know, it's the Democratic Party versus the Republican Party.
01:37:02.000And whatever dirty tricks you can use by deflating balls or fuckin' spiking people's Kool-Aid, whatever the fuck you can do to get people to lose or to win, there's gonna be certain elements of your party that are willing to do that.
01:37:19.000The problem is when it becomes the intelligence agencies.
01:37:23.000The problem is when they're colluding.
01:38:40.000But I do think that the people who are in control, whether it be the government, which can contact Facebook, or whether it be the intelligence communities that say that the Hunter Biden laptop's bullshit when they know it's not...
01:38:54.000When you have situations where people have that kind of power and control over people, and it's through this digital realm that didn't exist before, so all the rules that you would apply to the First Amendment outside of that, everything gets real slippery.
01:39:09.000Like, this is a private corporation, and this is mal-information and misinformation.
01:39:14.000Mal-information is the craziest one, which is true information that may be detrimental or something.
01:40:20.000I mean, maybe you and I and everybody else are being paranoid.
01:40:25.000So in other words, here's my question.
01:40:28.000Well, maybe it's not even a question, but, you know, you and I and a lot of us complain about these things.
01:40:34.000We worry about the fact that there's a lot of disinformation, misinformation, that the government's controlling this and that, you know, big tech is this, that, and the other thing.
01:40:43.000Sometimes I wonder if I'm just being paranoid.
01:40:46.000And sometimes I wonder if I'm just, I'm in an echo chamber.
01:40:49.000And sometimes I wonder that, you know, cause look man, I'm on the Joe Rogan experience.
01:40:54.000I don't know how many people listen to this.
01:40:55.000I can say whatever the fuck I want, and people listen.
01:41:01.000I was in Israel, and an Ethiopian guy said to me, as he's helping me with my bag in the airport, in Israel, he goes, do you come from Joe Rogan?
01:42:18.000If their narrative was always that Donald Trump is corrupt, then also there's real clear evidence that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden got how many millions of dollars?
01:42:34.000He worked for Burisma, which was, and I think he had some affiliations with some Chinese energy companies.
01:42:41.000And of course, Hunter Biden, who studied, he paints and he has a law degree.
01:42:46.000But Burisma, I guess, paid him 11 million dollars, 11 million dollars over a period of, I think, I don't know what it was, four or five years, and maybe even less.
01:42:57.000Because they needed his expertise on energy and on natural gas.
01:44:14.000Well, how about that cocaine that they found in the White House, and apparently they couldn't trace it back.
01:44:20.000In the most secure building in the world, in the most secure building in the world, by the way, because there are no cameras anywhere, they couldn't figure it out.
01:44:28.000And the press stopped asking questions.
01:51:05.000That kind of acting is such a different...
01:51:10.000There's so many levels of it, like sitcom acting, there's TV show acting, and then there's this like, what the fuck did you just do acting?
01:51:19.000Yeah, I think that kind of acting, like Christian Bale I think said, I don't like that I make believe and I wear makeup, so I gotta do something that makes me feel manly.
01:51:28.000Like starve myself or just feel, you know...
01:51:31.000Is Daniel Day-Lewis totally done with acting?
01:51:33.000He's just making shoes now or something?
01:53:06.000And he goes, no, it's just that, you know, he wouldn't answer any questions that didn't occur after 1865. He wasn't going to talk to you about today.
01:53:26.000You could only speak to him as literally as Abe Lincoln, and in fact, then my buddy came in and said, I'm sorry about all that nonsense in Cincinnati, and Daniel Day-Lewis was like, Yes, yes, well, we're going to work on that.
01:57:00.000Kids that are loved for whatever reason do get a certain ambition from their parents and also they recognize work ethic.
01:57:07.000My kids work really hard at stuff that they do and I think a lot of it is because my wife works really hard at stuff she likes to do and I work really hard at stuff I like to do and they see that I work hard.
01:57:18.000And they know that I have like multiple jobs.
01:57:21.000Yeah, maybe part of it's also genetic.
01:57:22.000You either have that constitution or you know...
01:57:24.000I think it's genetic with one of my daughters.
01:57:26.000Because one of my daughters is a complete psycho.
01:57:28.000And just like super driven towards things.
01:57:31.000Like tries to do things and she gets better and better and better and better and better at them.
01:57:37.000But it's interesting because she comes from, like, instead of needing attention, she comes from this loving household where she gets all this love, so she has confidence.
01:58:17.000You have your self and then your hidden self.
01:58:20.000The idea that all your insecurities and that boy that I've been trying to run away from forever, that skinny boy who is full of shame and full of fear.
01:58:57.000You know, I'm not interested in trying to present...
01:59:01.000Something I'm not I am also that other thing that that's there's a lot of strength in in that boy who's skinny and and well There's a lot of strength and desire right desire for improvement and change And that's also some of the things that come off a failure,
01:59:17.000You have this desire to never experience that again.
01:59:19.000That's a big one with stand-up when you bomb or Or if you lose in a fight both those things are true because like you just like oh my god I never want that to happen again and then you you become far more dedicated and You have to have those moments where the realization of effort to reward,
01:59:41.000Am I going to six and I'm telling everybody I go to nine?
01:59:44.000Like what is actually really happening?
01:59:46.000And the only way you really find out is by attempting to do things.
01:59:50.000No matter what you're trying to do, whether it's trying to put together a stand-up set, whether you're trying to get better at jiu-jitsu, whether you're doing gymnastics, whatever it is, the only way to know whether you're doing enough and doing it the right way is to see your improvement when it's tried.
02:06:16.000Well, what's amazing is that everybody speaks English.
02:06:18.000There's so many people in other parts of the world that speak English as a second language, and they consume English stuff, whether it's movies and television shows, or even podcasts.
02:07:54.000And I thought of you, because this Bedouin guy was telling me how much they hunt, because he was showing me pictures of the deer and everything.
02:11:13.000The problem with boxing is that every time I get hit and then the next day, Wayne McCulloch used to laugh because I was like, all I want to do is even the score.
02:15:58.000But for you, because you love pool and you love archery, those kinds of skill sets where it's all about your mind and stuff, you would obsess over it.
02:16:42.000But my father at 83 came in the other day, and this is what I love about him, literally came in and goes, I figured out what I was doing wrong.
02:17:43.000Not concentrating on the task, but if you can just block all that out and just purely concentrate on the task, it's like a form of meditation.
02:18:57.000So he has like the most extensive video collection if you go to knock on archery on YouTube.
02:19:03.000It's knock on like N-O-C-K. It's the most extensive like archery instructionals that you could get anywhere and the best instruction you can get everywhere.
02:20:44.000And so he has to contend, he's now 75, and he has to contend with his mortality.
02:20:49.000And one of the things that he found, the most frustrating thing about psychoanalysis was this idea that I can tell you, we can find out where, after talking for a long time, where your anxiety comes from.
02:21:00.000Your dad did this, or your uncle did this, whatever it might be.
02:21:07.000Just because you know why doesn't mean you know what to do about it.
02:21:11.000So you've got anxiety, or you've got this self-limiting, you know, you've got this self-saboteur, or whatever it might be, or you have this depression.
02:21:20.000I can prescribe medication, but sometimes that doesn't work.
02:21:23.000And he created these things called tools, which I have to say, at 56, read the book, and I really, really found it useful and I found it enjoyable.
02:21:33.000But one of the things he talks about is the idea of, and again, it's a Christian notion, but it just makes total sense.
02:21:40.000If you hold on to resentment for people, You're turning your back on your future.
02:22:39.000Well, the way I always talk about it is that I think of my mind as bandwidth.
02:22:43.000Like, I have a hundred units of bandwidth.
02:22:45.000And any time I'm spending time on something that's nonsense or not constructive or not beneficial...
02:22:51.000It's stealing from the amount of bandwidth that I would have to writing a new bit or concentrating on something I love to do or being with my family or friends.
02:23:01.000Anytime you've got some stuff stealing from you, you've got to figure out a way to push that out.
02:25:23.000They're inspiring, and it's also, there's camaraderie to it that's beautiful, and you learn how to do it from both observing and practicing, and then the level that you're around makes you raise your own level up.
02:27:36.000And apparently, I don't know if this is true, but Denzel Washington whispered in Will Smith's ear, I like Will Smith, but he whispered in Will Smith's ear, he said, the devil comes to us at our highest moment.
02:32:15.000And, you know, there was this crazy controversy after the Deontay Wilder fight where they were claiming that he didn't have his gloves on correctly and that his knuckles were actually over the padding.
02:37:50.000Setting traps and, like, I watched some guy break down the stuff that I didn't see, that I didn't know, as just somebody who doesn't understand.
02:37:56.000How about the sheer volume of strikes that he throws as a heavyweight?
02:42:32.000Kovalev was later in his career then, but if you go back and watch his first fight with Andre Ward and all the other guys that he knocked out.
02:42:40.000Kovalev, when he was the crusher, he was a beast.
02:42:42.000Andre Ward was another guy who could just download what you were doing.
02:44:37.000Does anybody see that one they dropped in the ocean where you literally see the fucking, this several mile high plume of water that comes out of it?
02:44:46.000I mean, look, usually the people that are saying there are no nuclear, with all due respect, are saying there are no nuclear weapons.
02:44:53.000They usually don't have an advanced degree in nuclear physics.
02:44:57.000I know they've studied some nuclear physics, but they don't have an advanced degree.
02:45:04.000He's like, why does everybody who talks about cryptocurrency, or why does everybody who tries to sell me on cryptocurrency have three roommates in their 30s?
02:47:36.000He's very dramatic, and he's like, we're going to miniaturize thermonuclear weapons, and with CRISPR-Cas9, we're going to be able to take viruses and manipulate them.
02:47:43.000And I was like, you have a point there.
02:48:05.000But it was like a bio-research lab that was in some abandoned warehouse somewhere.
02:48:11.000California officials closed down bootleg Chinese lab, brimming with infectious agents such as COVID and HIV. In addition to pathogens, investigators found hundreds of chemicals, a thousand mice, many of them dead, and bootleg COVID and pregnancy tests apparently developed on site.
02:48:43.000But the rats, or the mice rather, most of them were dead already.
02:48:46.000Did you see where they put in the chat GBT, come up with chemical weapons, and it came up with 40,000 different variants of a chemical weapon?
02:49:08.000I wonder if that's because disclosure, I imagine in my head that it would be this grand moment and the clouds would part and we would figure out that we're not alone in the universe.
02:49:23.000This reality of what they're disclosing, that they have recovered alien spacecrafts, that they have biological creatures from another planet, that they have frozen or from another dimension, they are in possession of both craft and biologics, they know that aliens are real.
02:49:37.000Maybe it's just that is so strange and so alien that my mind is not registering it as a possibility, even though it can be a possibility.
02:49:47.000If you just look at the stars in the sky and look at, you know, what we know about biology on Earth, It's totally possible that this, in this infinite universe, has occurred other places and gotten to a much more advanced stage.
02:50:00.000I love that they were able to cross galaxies and then they couldn't land.
02:51:29.000They said the U.S. Air Force sent a plane down there to recover the wreckage and return it back to America.
02:51:36.000This guy, David Grush, who's the whistleblower, has exposed that they supposedly have a retrieval program for crashed UFOs and that it's happened multiple times over the course of human history.
02:51:48.000This was what Bob Lazar was talking about in 1989. Why keep it a secret?
02:51:53.000Well, I think they don't want to anymore.
02:51:55.000And I think there's part of it that it's not beneficial to keep it a secret.
02:52:00.000And that too many people who feel like this is an important thing that the world should be aware of, and that maybe this could actually be a uniting moment for us.
02:52:08.000If we realize that Space Daddy is really watching everything we do, and there are something that's here, whether it's interdimensional, whether it's from another planet, That would be very unifying.
02:53:11.000A lot of people think that's what that tic-tac incident is off the coast of San Diego in 2004. It's a famous one where Commander David Fravor, they have multiple instrumentation, the documentation of where this thing was.
02:53:26.000And it was at 50,000 plus feet above seat level and it went down to 50 in less than a second.
02:53:32.000It took off at an insane rate of speed.
02:53:53.000The amount of force required to go that fast, that quick, it was something like I forget what the g-force was, but it was something insane.
02:54:11.000It's this round thing that looks like a tic-tac.
02:54:13.000If there is some sort of advanced propulsion system, some revolutionary way of moving through space and time that the US government has developed in some black ops program, that seems very likely impossible.
02:54:26.000That seems more likely than aliens visiting us.
02:54:31.000But there's more than one incident, and there's a lot of these things.
02:54:35.000And the possibility of alien life in the universe, although we've never experienced it, seems rational.
02:54:42.000And if you were going to study an emerging civilization That is both primitive and warlike and yet insanely technologically advanced to the point where they have nuclear weapons, they can transmit video through the sky, they have propaganda, they have tracking of their citizens.
02:55:01.000And while we are these territorial primal beings with fucking nuclear weapons, this would be a good time to start exposing yourself and to stop this nonsense.
02:55:48.000And there's all these multiple sightings and eyewitness accounts of very credible people who say these things have hovered over military bases.
02:55:57.000It'd be pretty cool if these aliens were benevolent overlords.
02:56:27.000It's what we do at the pinnacle of our creation as we make better technology.
02:56:33.000Well, I always wonder about fractals and whether or not, like, this idea of this being a simulation, this being, you know, like, we are kind of replicating, we are creating machines and doing our best to create them in our own image, right?
02:59:20.000It's really hard to say that a Yanomamo Indian or whoever it might be thinks about things differently than I do when I know so much about how all these human beings, like someone in Iran, someone in Jordan,
03:00:24.000The terrible idea is that it's all us, and that it's all a big ruse, and it's all just drones that we're doing, because we don't want China and Russia to know about it, but we have insane propulsion systems that operate on gravity.
03:01:06.000But the legend is that Jackie Gleason and Nixon were drinking.
03:01:09.000And that Nixon said, you want to see some fucking aliens?
03:01:12.000And they get on Air Force One, and they fly to some Air Force base, and they go to a place where they have a crashed UFO, and they have biological beings that are in freezers.
03:03:03.000When you have senators and congressmen who find out about this, and they find out that military contractors are the ones who have access to this stuff, Because the back engineering program has to involve someone who has the capability of recreating this.
03:03:16.000That would be the people that make jets.
03:03:17.000If you've got someone who's making you a fucking stealth bomber and you have a crashed UFO, those are the people that you want discussing what kind of things you've recovered from a fucking alien crash and can this be replicated?
03:03:44.000There's no written law that says I'm not allowed to talk about aliens.
03:03:48.000And I mean at the top levels of clearance, like the most secret level.
03:03:53.000There is no world where if I'm a government official and I take a bunch of pictures and I come before Congress and I go, here's my evidence.
03:04:11.000Because I'd never go to jail for that.
03:04:12.000Because I'd be like, you're going to put me in jail for exposing what everybody wants to know?
03:04:17.000The whole world would be like, holy shit, you guys kept But that's assuming that you have access to that material to extract it from wherever the...
