00:00:34.000All throughout my life, I've taken all kinds of things that people are like, oh, I throw up, or like Robitussin or something, like drinking a whole thing of Robitussin.
00:00:40.000I throw up, I'm like, I don't know why, but I just don't have that reaction.
00:02:35.000It's an interesting one, especially, you know, feel free, you've got kava and kratom, which does that, like, here's a mellowing anti-anxiety vibe, and then here's, like, a euphoric energy thing in the center of it.
00:02:45.000And so it gives you that, like, that's why people feel so groovy on it, because it's got those two.
00:02:51.000However, I do understand if people get sick on it.
00:02:54.000Like, they, I think some people just, it's too much for their brain, or they just need to do, like, a third of a bottle or something.
00:02:59.000We can't even keep them at the club, because Duncan just chugs them.
00:03:16.000I use it at night because, especially if I have a social engagement, if I have a lot of people to deal with, I take one of those, I'm just like, oh really?
00:03:46.000I think it has something to do with the...
00:03:48.000I think certain things remove the editing aspect and you're just more fluid.
00:03:53.000I remember a friend of mine, she had this...
00:03:56.000I don't know if you know people like this, but they analyze everything that they're thinking like it's like a compulsion.
00:04:01.000So like my friend, she's an amazing musician, but every time she would speak, she'd be like, well, I'd like to, I'm not sure if I should, but I, you know, I would like to, but a lot of this like looped kind of thing, but like the analysis loop is so small that I'm like...
00:04:18.000I wish I could help, but then one night, she was nervous about taking ketamine, and I gave her just a little bit of ketamine, and finally she's like, okay, I'll try it, I'll try it.
00:04:27.000And she's like, I don't know, maybe is it too much?
00:04:30.000And I was like, trust me, just do this amount, I'm really good at dosing.
00:04:33.000And she took it, and I progressively saw her go from, I don't know what's going on.
00:04:38.000Yeah, and you know, I was just kind of wondering, my career is interesting, but I have a lot of fear based around it.
00:04:44.000She was just calm, relaxed, and completely fluid.
00:04:47.000And I let her go for a while, and then I said, did you notice that you haven't stopped yourself once, like in the last two minutes?
00:04:54.000She was like, oh my god, you're right.
00:05:23.000Even though I think of myself as a pretty good communicator, sometimes when I'm on ketamine, the thoughts are just flowing in a way that I'm actually watching them.
00:05:30.000It's the same feeling when I'm improvising and it's going really well, like I'm with a bunch of cats and we're jamming or whatever.
00:05:36.000There'll be this weird thing where I'm suddenly, I'm like, I'm just, it's almost like I'm standing next to myself going like, hey, that's pretty good.
00:05:45.000And it kind of puts me in that kind of a state.
00:05:48.000And I don't know, there's something about it.
00:05:50.000I'm really interested in ketamine, like doing more research with it too, like fMRIs, like, you know, real-time fMRI and mapping regions of the brain when you're improvising and things like that.
00:05:58.000There's been a little bit of that, but I want to do it myself just to see.
00:06:01.000Wasn't it originally devised as an animal tranquilizer?
00:06:04.000Yeah, it was an anesthetic as far as I know.
00:06:18.000So I know a friend of mine, he was, or a friend of a friend, he was skateboarding, shoulder went out of place, went to a hospital, just shot him with ketamine, and then put his shoulder back in.
00:06:27.000I think they used that in medic kits overseas.
00:08:30.000Now, I remember being in a convertible in the 80s and a friend of mine sitting on the deck where the top is down or whatever, he's sitting on the deck and he just had a bottle of codeine.
00:08:41.000It was just like take sips of it and I was like I wanted to try it but I was like I don't know I just didn't but it was funny.
00:08:58.000I remember in the 80s being in a scout like going all taking all the back roads from Great Falls to Lake Five in Glacier Park on the way there with like a half rack of beer And just like, you know, drinking beers and cruising down the road and with like three friends and a bunch of bikes in the back.
00:09:16.000I mean, I don't know, the shit that we did back then was, you just can't do it anymore.
00:09:21.000You definitely can't if people are filming you with their phones.
00:09:36.000You know, like we know more about the horrors of war, like the wars that are happening right now.
00:09:41.000Do you remember like during, it was, I think it was Desert Storm, or it was the next, it was after, whatever 2020, 2001, after the 9-11 attacks.
00:09:56.000They weren't allowed to show bodies of troops coming home.
00:10:06.000And then now, here we are 22 years later, and you just get graphic cell phone footage from Ukraine.
00:10:15.000Now you're getting it from Palestine and Gaza.
00:10:19.000It's just horrific graphic footage from phones.
00:10:24.000I mean, even back in the days, I can remember when ISIS was on the rampage, you could still see videos on YouTube before they took them down.
00:10:42.000No, I've seen quite a few of them, unfortunately.
00:10:44.000It's just like, you know, I mean, it's like, I mean, on one hand, it's like the barbarism is a good thing to see where you're like, that I never want to put myself in this situation or I want to do everything I can to try to make our society not do that kind of shit.
00:10:59.000But at the same time, it can desensitize and some people can kind of fetishize on it as well.
00:12:42.000So it has a value system, but human well-being is not in it.
00:12:45.000So eventually over time, it's like, of course people are going to game it.
00:12:49.000And very few people are going to game it.
00:12:51.000And they're going to acquire all this stuff.
00:12:52.000And they're just going to be like desensitized to the rest of the inequities and so forth.
00:12:58.000And then you're going to cause all this animosity.
00:12:59.000And then there's going to be a lot of people going like, well, I need to get my stuff back.
00:13:03.000And then you get all these opportunists that are using the disgruntilism and like using that to arm.
00:13:08.000It's like, that's my over gross oversimplification.
00:13:12.000I'm sure I'll be corrected millions of times over.
00:13:14.000But Whenever I see any of these conflicts or even a conflict in my own neighborhood or my neighbors arguing over, it's about a property line or it's about you didn't do this or you didn't do that.
00:13:28.000Thought process that goes into I don't have enough or I have all the stuff and I want to keep the stuff or I want more stuff and then someone else kind of responding to that in some way I'm not phrasing it as eloquently as I usually do on ketamine but But that's kind of my Whenever I see all of these things.
00:13:47.000I'm just like I have a feeling that it's probably maybe that I don't know the problem is the alternative is even more horrific and What's the alternative?
00:14:00.000Because the only way that's enforced is by dictators and then the dictators wind up doing what every human being in power does, which is control all the resources, control all the wealth, live in extravagant houses while everybody starves.
00:14:12.000Every single communist dictatorship is all run the same way.
00:14:16.000It's the only way to run them because the only way to enforce socialism is through violence.
00:14:21.000The only way to take people's resources and evenly distribute it, you have to go in with guns.
00:14:25.000But what about countries like Sweden and things like that?
00:15:06.000He has a thing called The Memo that comes out, I think like every two weeks, something like that.
00:15:10.000But it gives you this really holistic state of the union of AI. And he's hyper optimistic and calls it human evolution, which I believe in that as well.
00:15:21.000Well, you get rid of the emotional factor and you just have something that's looking to solve problems.
00:15:29.000And so I think it can at least give you five solutions that are not emotionally based, that are just addressed, that are supposed to kind of maximize the positive probable outcome.
00:15:40.000And I think we may see a human AI synergistic, at least low-level government implementation.
00:15:49.000Probably some country that can do that and not feel like they're batting the farm on it.
00:15:55.000And if it goes well, then other people will implement that.
00:16:00.000We were talking about an AI president.
00:16:04.000That you need a president that is immune to bias, corruption, influence, and someone who just looks at things rationally and in an intelligent way that spans all the disciplines, right?
00:16:18.000Like, how could any president really be an expert in foreign policy, the environment, economics, Social justice, infrastructure, immigration.
00:16:45.000And occasionally commentate on fights.
00:16:48.000And all those three things take up so much of my fucking time.
00:16:52.000My whole day today has been having conversations with people about replacement opponents because there's a UFC coming out in two weeks.
00:17:00.000So I've been having all these conversations with experts and people that I know and commentators of who can fit this spot and who's ready and who's in shape and who's turned the fight down and How could anybody?
00:17:35.000Well, it's like, I mean, if you look at, like, it's really hard.
00:17:37.000I had a term, I don't know if it exists, but I call it corporacrats.
00:17:41.000And most people in government essentially are corporacrats in the sense that...
00:17:46.000The things that, when I see people like vetoing things or not getting on board with certain things, and you're like, well, that seems like that would be helpful, but you're choosing not to do that.
00:17:54.000It's like the influence of corporations on even well-intentioned, you know, people that go into government, they're like, I want to make a difference.
00:18:37.000Because there is no excuse for any of us being...
00:18:41.000All the inequity we see in all of this stuff is totally solvable if we were much more efficient with how...
00:18:49.000How, well, how resources are utilized, how they're distributed, and so forth.
00:18:54.000And what I mean by that is, like, some of my friends are like, well, if you do, like, universal basic income, which I think is something I'm kind of interested in, I think that that is interesting, if you can account for where that comes from in a way that doesn't upset people, they have a lot of power and a lot of money,
00:19:10.000feel like that's threatening my whatever it is.
00:19:13.000Do you remember Bernie Sanders, his idea?
00:19:16.000His idea that I thought was really fascinating when I talked to him, he said he's going to take a small fraction, less than one cent, for every speculation buy on the stock market.
00:19:29.000And that would account for an insane amount of money.
00:19:31.000And you could essentially, through that money, just through that money, provide free healthcare, free education, just through that.
00:19:40.000There's two things that we could do that could stop people From living a shit life.
00:19:46.000One of them is keep them from being saddled down by student debt.
00:19:50.000Student debt, student loan debt, is fucking insane.
00:19:54.000Because you're taking these vulnerable young people, 17 years old, right out of high school, about to go to college, and they sign on for these fucking deals where they're gonna owe an insane amount of money over the next five, six years, and they can never get out of that debt.
00:20:14.000So then you force them into jobs that perhaps they don't want to do.
00:20:18.000And maybe there's things that they would have thought of pursuing that they can't pursue because they have a nut that they have to pay every month because they have student loan debts.
00:20:45.000So if you're in survival mode, you're spending all of this brain trust energy that could be contributing to amazing solutions for all kinds of things.
00:20:57.000And that's why when I drive through LA and I see how many people are on the street, I'm like, there's probably a genius in there.
00:21:04.000There's probably someone who could invent a new water filtration system.
00:21:08.000Whatever it is, it's a waste of human potential.
00:21:13.000And I'm like, if you don't invest in your population, if you don't believe in your population and you don't invest in them...
00:21:20.000Some of the arguments are like, well, you're just giving away stuff and people are just going to freeload.
00:21:25.000There might be some of that, but most of the time people want to get involved in something and they want to make the people at least close around them, they want to make their lives a little bit better.
00:22:20.000So much potential we're missing out because people who might have brilliant minds, might be incredibly creative, but they're born in horrible, hostile environments and they get caught up in it.
00:22:29.000And it could happen to you, it could happen to me, it could happen to anybody.
00:22:32.000Anybody who's listening to this that hasn't committed murder or robbed people, a lot of it is luck.
00:22:44.000But you don't get to choose that either.
00:22:46.000You don't get to choose who your family is.
00:22:48.000You don't get to choose your neighborhood.
00:22:50.000You don't get to choose what trauma they faced in their life.
00:22:53.000You don't get to choose what happened to your mother while you were in her womb that contributes to the way you think and behave.
00:23:01.000Because when a woman is involved in heavy violence and trauma and when they're around that all the time and the baby's in the womb, that baby comes out triggered.
00:23:52.000The loss of life in America is comparable to all kinds of wars.
00:23:56.000If you just look at the amount of people that die in the south side of Chicago every weekend, it was higher at many points than what was going on with the conflict in Afghanistan.
00:24:06.000Yeah, I mean, it's crazy to me when I see this, like, the United States.
00:24:11.000I mean, the United States, I grew up in the 80s.
00:24:13.000There was, like, yeah, we were kind of blinded by a lot of, like, you know, kind of glamorizing and just, like, everything's groovy, you know, like, all the movies and TV shows and stuff like that.
00:24:21.000But at least when I grew up, I didn't have...
00:24:24.000That stress of the micromanaging of constant reminders that the inequities are insane and that the middle class is just getting squeezed.
00:24:35.000And everybody I know, and I'm talking about like I tried to buy a house in LA for three years.
00:25:48.000Or life was like, oh, you want a house?
00:25:51.000I'll give you a little bit of hope, and then there's going to be a team that just goes out and says, we're going to outbid you, and we're going to just waive all the conditions.
00:25:58.000There's no way you're going to compete with it.
00:26:00.000And I thought about that, and I have friends that are trying to find apartments right now.
00:26:04.000And even in Great Falls, Montana, where I'm from, I think some property value went up, I don't know, a huge percentage.
00:26:19.000You're thinking they're going to be a rancher.
00:26:21.000When I heard about that, well, no, not even that.
00:26:23.000It was just like, everyone thought, I thought, oh yeah, a TV production, promoting that area, like whatever, that should bring in money, right?
00:28:00.000I'm like, if an AI... Could just do a theoretical, it doesn't have to be implemented, but theoretically like ingested all of the government, all the legislation, all the laws that exist.
00:28:12.000And you say, give it a simple thing like, how can we balance all of the spending and how can we contribute to things that will solve problems to make our lives feel more like, hey, you can go out in the street and go, how you doing, man?
00:29:40.000We have the most amazing conversations because she's like, she's not, I wouldn't say she's conservative, but she's a constitutionalist and has her beliefs.
00:30:06.000And we usually unify on science fiction.
00:30:08.000But she's terrified, or she said, you know, it's like, sorry, Kirsten, but at one point she was like, I'm apprehensive about going to California because what I see is like...
00:30:22.000Destruction, you know, gangs and violence and all this stuff.
00:30:30.000I've had friends' cars broken into, you know, those types of things.
00:30:33.000But in general, like, I don't experience that.
00:30:36.000And then that also comes down to me just going like, why don't you just come to L.A. and I'll show you.
00:30:41.000Nowhere is going to be perfect, wherever you're going to live.
00:30:44.000There's going to be some kind of a limitation.
00:30:45.000You're either not going to have the culture that you're looking for, You're not going to have access to the foods that you want, but you're going to get this, but you're going to get this, but you might not get this.
00:30:56.000And I think, for me, it's like, I want to live in places but not have any fear based off of the projection from fear-based projections.
00:31:57.000And it's like, when you have these opportunities in life where you're like...
00:32:00.000This moment where people are like maybe we should question the way we do things but then the response is to overshoot and overcompensate and now you've got like this you know so I don't know I hope it's also a problem that people have an opinion based on an ideology that they subscribe to yes and say if you have a leftist ideology and you subscribe to that then you have some very specific I bet I know where you stand on climate change I bet I know where you stand on many issues And the problem with
00:32:31.000that is if your tribe all agrees to something, you signal to your tribe by also agreeing to, and it's much easier than having a real objective conversation about the realities of that thing and not being attached to these ideas, but just saying, well, what are the realities of these things?
00:33:16.000But the thing that brings us together is that we can have conversations about issues, and if I bring up something that is a counter to what they believe, they're at least listening, and they're like, that's interesting.
00:33:28.000Well, yeah, if we incorporated a little bit of what you're talking about into what we're doing, and we kind of de-escalate on here, we can arrive at something that's a little bit more rational that works for more people.
00:33:38.000What's stunning how emotionally attached people are oftentimes to subjects that they're not even informed on?
00:35:38.000I just want to come to an understanding because there's nothing better.
00:35:43.000I mean, one of my favorite highs in the world, and I love drugs, but my favorite high in the world...
00:35:48.000When I had a conversation, this is just an example, I was in Montana, back steps of my friend Wally's house.
00:35:55.000His next door neighbor was an armorer in the Iraq War, was responsible for, I don't know, I think it was a battalion's worth of weapons, and it was only he and another guy that were monitoring these things.
00:36:10.000And his viewpoint on all kinds of things that are – he's definitely more conservatively.
00:36:15.000I had this conversation about the perspective from people who are – it was a police issue and I was saying like police need to be better trained.
00:36:22.000It's like it's not necessarily about getting rid of them but I believe that they need better training in other countries.
00:36:26.000Police go to school for two and a half years before they even – Get out.
00:37:14.000They aren't even what they are necessarily in any given moment because when we get information that we can tap into and feel and get it from somebody instead of these tiny little bite-sized nuggets that are decontextualized, then...
00:37:47.000Because some drugs, like for me, it's marijuana.
00:37:50.000Marijuana makes me so much more considerate of other people's perspectives and feelings.
00:37:57.000Because I'm much more sensitive when I'm on it.
00:38:00.000So when I'm talking to someone, I'm so much less likely to engage in like a real disagreement.
00:38:07.000It'll be much more passive, much more like, okay, I see what you're saying.
00:38:12.000Okay, so you feel that, like, reaffirm, and then have you considered.
00:38:19.000And this is a thing, and I also, I say this all the time because it's a very important thing to say, I try very hard to not be connected to my ideas.
00:38:32.000And I, as an individual, as a separate being, a conscious being, am engaging with these ideas.
00:38:39.000But I don't claim them as my own to the point where I'm married to them and I fight for them and these are my fucking, these are my ideas and I stand by them.
00:38:53.000But most things, I'm like, I want to know why you think the way you think.
00:38:58.000And that's one of the beautiful things about having a podcast, is I have so many conversations with so many people that have completely different perspectives.
00:42:33.000It's like, well, because, I don't know, I dig you.
00:42:36.000If someone's coming at me, there's definitely times where I will push back on somebody if they're being a dick to me, but I love figuring out a way to be Again, asymmetrical or just illogical to them, irrational to them.
00:42:50.000Because if someone's like, I'm going to do something that I'm expecting a certain reaction from that generally I get when I do it.
00:42:56.000And then they're like, here's some scrambled eggs.
00:42:59.000And then I give them back a hat with a lizard crawling around it.
00:45:58.000But then, again, when people are in survival mode, all the bad shit happens.
00:46:01.000And then you get people taking advantage of people in those bad situations, and then they're harnessing, they're extending their disappointment with life and themselves.
00:46:09.000On to those people and then they start motivating.
00:46:11.000And you're just like, guys, guys, guys, chill the fuck out.
00:46:14.000Well, I think human beings have a certain amount of conflict and problem solving that they have to address on a daily basis in order to be balanced.
00:47:09.000Compiled with alcoholism and fucking drug abuse and problems and stress and lack of sleep and poor diet and all these other contributing factors that make you a fucking maniac.
00:48:10.000I do the thing where I, like, rapidly...
00:48:13.000Basically describe what they're like getting to the point at what someone's describing like like very rapidly and then like going like is that what you mean?
00:48:21.000And they'll be like oh yeah and okay okay now let's move to the next one.
00:48:24.000But then they want to keep going and expand on it so it's their own.
00:48:39.000Man I'm telling you man it's like It's interesting.
00:48:43.000When I have friends that are high-visibility friends or people that are in the spotlight, and I see how they interact with people, and they might not even be friends.
00:48:53.000Maybe I'm at a gathering or something, like the Emmys party or something like that, and I love watching all the social interactions and seeing how they do it.
00:49:22.000And I noticed a strategy that he used, which I thought was kind of interesting, which was he was leaving, and he had kind of met me before, but I don't think he recognized who I was.
00:49:34.000But he had, like, this way of, like, I'm accepting positive energy, I'm reflecting it immediately, but I also have the momentum of I'm getting the fuck out of here.
00:51:07.000I just have some more resources so I can do some different things.
00:51:11.000I have access to a great podcast like this, you know, or get to hang out with like really cool people.
00:51:16.000But in general, I just like being a person and hopefully, you know, by me being patient, people observing that they're like, oh, maybe I can incorporate a little bit of that.
00:51:26.000The problem is you do open up the door for grifters.
00:51:28.000Like, there's a lot of people that have gotten my phone number.
00:51:58.000I think some of my friends who have to change their numbers, I mean, you're dealing with stuff like the crowds that you're dealing with, you're dealing with like fighting, you're interviewing a lot of people that have all kinds of crazy different perspectives.
00:52:26.000Well, it gets to the point where, like, if you're a hot woman and a guy's being nice to you, you don't think, oh, this guy's just being nice to me.
00:52:34.000You're like, this guy wants to have sex with me.
00:53:53.000I'm always, like, when I'm with friends, like, on that level, I'm a little bit, I'm so sensitive to that dynamic that I kind of, like, go, I make myself so small.
00:54:23.000Yeah, some of your achievements are real.
00:54:25.000It's like if someone wants to talk to you about music and they're saying a bunch of nonsense, and you're like, hey, I'm actually a musician.
00:55:21.000If you come into it with humility, but if you come into telling me that you have this fucking thing that you figured out that no one else has figured out.
00:55:58.000Yeah, it's angles and like, there's certain things like contact, like, there's certain things you actually have to make contact with a person.
00:57:55.000I wasn't interested in ever making a book, but then I was like, an autobiography, that sounds a little bit easier, because then I'm just telling stories.
00:58:23.000It's fascinating to listen to how people grew up and what they think and how they develop their thought process.
00:58:30.000Yeah, because it's like, I don't know, for me, it's, I mean, if you think about like all the components, it's like, well, okay, I've got a white French mother from France, you know, African American father from Cleveland, Ohio.
00:58:41.000And, you know, they meet in Europe, they, you know, we move around Europe, and then I grow up in Great Falls, Montana, as this biracial, weirdo, kind of strange kid, you know, compared to the rest of the populace.
00:58:54.000And then just navigating that, but then also getting the fortune of it being in the 80s.
00:59:00.000It's like, I think like a lot of people, some people have read it, some friends have read it, and they're like, like Anson Mount is reading it right now, and like Anson seems like...
01:00:50.000But I mean, it's like, what, it came up in the 60s or whatever.
01:00:53.000But the new one, actually, there's a joke about it because a guy from the future comes into them and he's from the Federation, so he's got the thing that you just hit the badge.
01:01:01.000And they're like, we've analyzed it and apparently it's a communicator.
01:01:04.000And then Anson's character is just like, yeah, but flipping open the thing, that's the funnest part.
01:02:21.000No, I mean, it's kind of like, it's for therapeutic reasons, but you can like, it's a friend of a friend.
01:02:27.000So I was like, well, let me experience this because I want to know what this, what is this like?
01:02:31.000But I took it and I did a live stream and it was during the pandemic and I didn't know how high I was going to get, but I just set up the equipment.
01:02:39.000I had to problem solve a bunch of stuff and I totally did it successfully.
01:03:29.000And there's something about trying to find your center in the middle of a storm that I feel is kind of like, it's like strapping on weights on your ankle or wearing a weighted vest in training.
01:03:39.000It's a way of kind of challenging yourself to the point at which you hopefully make a goal by achieving something.
01:03:50.000But, I don't know, that's a little too weird.
01:03:52.000Well, it's also you're comfortable with that state.
01:03:54.000You know, for someone who's never experienced that state before, it becomes overwhelming.
01:03:59.000And then you kind of like give in to the anxiety of the moment.
01:04:03.000That's the thing about bad trips, right?
01:04:05.000A lot of it is people fighting it, struggling with the trip, not wanting to accept it, not wanting to let go and give in.
01:04:16.000And that's why, generally, it's hard for me to find people that are just down.
01:04:20.000You know, like, if I'm like, hey, do you want to do ketamine?
01:04:21.000Whenever I see ketamine, it feels like I'm saying, like, the heaviest thing in the world.
01:04:25.000Because either people are like, it's horse tranquilizers, it's K-hole, which is thought of as negative, or they're thinking of, like, party vibes.
01:04:35.000Like, where you're just, like, doing bumps, and you're like, oh, I'm dancing, here's a bump, I'm bump.
01:04:38.000It's like, generally, when I do K, I fucking do K. I want to be in there.
01:07:01.000If I go on a tour and I don't have access to anything that I normally have access to because I don't drink, I just basically do these feel-frees and weed is definitely my constant, especially edibles.
01:07:14.000And then K. That's kind of it at this point in my life.
01:07:17.000But if I go on tour and I don't have access to any of that, I don't really notice.
01:07:21.000It could be weeks, and I'm like, I don't notice.
01:07:34.000I've had crazy shit happen where I was at a cool party and this person had converted a room to make it look like the rainforest, like a Brazilian rainforest.
01:07:46.000And it had like Dolby 5.1 storm sounds and associated lighting.
01:07:51.000The lighting would change and stuff like that.
01:08:24.000But I had one of those, and we had the lozenge kicked in, and we went deep into a K-hole.
01:08:29.000Interesting thing was, there was a guy, he's probably like 20 feet away, there's people talking all over the place, storm systems, all this stuff.
01:08:37.000I hear this little voice through the storm, in the distance, going like, Hey, if anybody's out there, I'm having a crazy trip right now.
01:10:23.000And so harmin, so when they first experienced these altered states, They were trying to isolate the compounds that were responsible for it.
01:10:32.000And one of them, they decided, was causing these telepathic experiences.
01:10:37.000And so they tried to call it telepathine.
01:10:40.000But because of scientific nomenclature, it had already been discovered as harmine.
01:10:45.000So it had already been labeled as harmine.
01:10:48.000But for a while, they were calling it telepathine.
01:10:51.000Because the people that were experiencing that were having these communications without words, and they were experiencing things in unison, together.
01:11:01.000They were experiencing these visions that they felt like they were communicating with each other through this vision without talking.
01:11:47.000I'll just get a huge band around each one.
01:11:50.000Suns on each one of them or something.
01:11:53.000Low cartilage on the back of each kneecap so from so there's rub it's just I think it's just genetic like a just a Genetic thing that happened.
01:12:01.000I also I'm knock-kneed so I was I was born with like not the greatest like Knees and then not feed is how does that work?
01:12:09.000So knock the you know, it's like you're kind of knees go in yeah, it's like you know There's a physical therapist that can correct that with exercises Yeah, well, the shape of the...
01:12:19.000I mean, really the best thing for it, if I was a kid, and maybe now too, is riding horses.
01:15:23.000He's got an Instagram page called Knees Over Toes Guy.
01:15:26.000And he takes people from step one, like with very little knee stability and strength, and he's got a multi-stage program where you slowly keep adding more exercises, adding more resistance, and strengthen the structure around your knee.
01:15:42.000Because a lot of the problems that people have...
01:15:44.000The knee is not supported well by the musculature, by your tendons and ligaments and muscles.
01:19:06.000That's, well, yeah, that's my next phase.
01:19:08.000I'm kind of moving into that because, like, last year when my mother died and, like, all the, you know, post-pandemic, like, I just, I had a lot of stuff and it's like, and that injury happened.
01:21:05.000You know, it's now when I see, like, when you've been on that for a while, when you haven't been, you know, basically keto, but, like, when you've been doing that a while, now when I see a snack tray or, like, you know, I'm backstage and there's all these chips and stuff like that, I'm not even remotely interested in it.
01:25:07.000It's the one that I had, they came out with it again in like the early 2000s, I think, 2004 or 5. And then there's a new one that they just came out with that's just all paddle shifts.
01:28:28.000So that's going to come out either 2024 or 2025. But I also heard that the new Macan Electric, which won't be called the Macan Electric, because I think they're just calling it the Macan, that everyone's saying, like, that's the joint.
01:28:42.000I don't think it's going to perform as well as a lower car.
01:29:24.000It's a Kia Those things handle my bitch.
01:29:28.000Yeah, but it's funny like I've driven, you know modern Tesla's I've driven an X a Y a three performance But then you get into like if you drive a Say an S, right?
01:32:32.000But I tried, I called them, I had a meeting with them, and I was like, what do you think about doing a PR thing where I hand over my Tycon, which...
01:32:43.000I'll say the Taycan's probably slightly better looking.
01:33:43.000I think Porsche, between their eFuel that they're investing in, so you can keep running their cars at an ecological balance, because they're making this out of Chile.
01:33:55.000I don't know how much if they can scale it, but they are running eFuel for the races, so like the Porsche Cups and stuff like that.
01:34:03.000So e-fuel is, it uses, it's a process, it uses captured carbon with some kind of a chemical process that produces a combustible, or, yeah, combustible fuel, combustion fuel, I guess that's how you say it.
01:36:37.000It's alright, but I don't mind it if the sound is just an augmentation of what the motors sound like.
01:36:44.000Then I'm into it, especially when you've got a 3 motor going on.
01:36:46.000Right, and that sounds like a cool spaceship type electric car.
01:36:50.000Yeah, and then I'm like, because I feel like I could confidently, like, when I drive an electric car, I like both.
01:36:55.000I mean, the Turbo S is amazing to drive.
01:36:59.000Even though I do feel a little bit bad.
01:37:01.000And I know that sports cars account for very, very little because it's a very, very small market.
01:37:07.000But I still kind of feel a little bit eh.
01:37:09.000And then when I tried the Taika, I'm just like, this thing is just, it's like, I feel fully free in a way.
01:37:15.000One of the things that Jeremy Clarkson pointed out when he did a review of the Turbo, Is that the way the turbo filters the air, the air coming out of the exhaust is actually cleaner than the pollution air that's in the air.
01:38:08.000That's why I wanted the Turbo S. Because I had the Taycan.
01:38:10.000I was like, I want to know what the Turbo...
01:38:13.000So, in the video above, Jeremy Clarkson, host of the Top Gear, says that Porsche 911 Turbo cleans the air in polluted cities like LA. While I have seen concept cars that clean there, I seriously doubt that any existing car, especially...
01:38:26.000The Porsche 911 Turbo emits exhaust that is cleaner than air, even air in the most polluted cities.
01:38:34.000When you drive this car through a really polluted city, Los Angeles, Calcutta, Harrogate, wherever that is, something like that, the gas that comes out of the exhaust pipe is less toxic than the air going into the engine.
01:47:00.000I don't think you're going to like it, but it's definitely different looking, but it's a small truck, but it's got the same bed length as an average truck, but it's tiny.
01:48:59.000Yeah, well, you know, my thing is, like, if you can figure out a way to, like, you just take the engine out, right, transmission, all that stuff, and you just, like, save it.
01:52:43.000I was fascinated with it, and I didn't even know it was going to be at Goodwood, and when it came out, I was like, Am I watching a cartoon?
01:52:50.000Everyone was laughing because it looks like a cartoon when it's moving.
01:52:54.000Because you're like, it's coming at you and it just goes like a Tron car.
01:54:29.000And now people are taking those and they're adding insane thousand horsepower engines to them and they're doing these retro, like, resto mods on the Ford GT40. Some of them are incredible.
01:58:42.000And you go into the design studio, like you can go in there and you just basically go through all the swatches and color, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:59:47.000But yeah, I mean, so that fan in the back, so it depressurizes the zone behind the car so that you don't need a spoiler for downforce.
01:59:57.000Well, there are two mini spoilers on either side, but it basically, as soon as that pressure starts to build up, So that's with the fan on,
02:01:12.000There's a biological limit to speed and G-forces.
02:01:17.000At a certain point, all electric cars are going to basically be the same, zero to 60. Handling will be different, but the zero to 60 and stopping, that's a pretty predictable science.
02:03:09.000Guys, you're just feet away from each other.
02:03:11.000The Blue Angels, man, they used to come to my town for air shows, because I lived next to an Air Force base, and I couldn't tell you how excited I was when they would all stand outside of their planes, just in front of each plane,
02:05:26.000I just don't know if it's like, it doesn't make any sense why they're like, let's just hang out, never show ourselves and just do like really cool, tricky stuff and have people get a bunch of blurry images of it that we can never fricking see.
02:05:41.000I mean, it's either natural phenomenon or it's something that's been here a long time or they're probes that are triggered by a certain, I don't know, technological escalation in human society.
02:05:56.000Or they're somehow ours, but that doesn't make any sense either.
02:06:05.000Yeah, I might have mentioned it on the show before, but I've seen the classic three glowing spheres in the distance kind of moving along and a searchlight turning on or a spotlight turning on and turning off and then gliding with no noise in a canyon.
02:07:08.000And then also when the government starts releasing stuff and then you got a guy going around like, well, you know, I've been cleared by the CIA or whatever to be able to talk about this and all this stuff.
02:07:18.000You've been cleared to talk about stuff that you're supposed to not be talking about?
02:07:45.000I was probably 17. We were camping at night, and then we decided to climb a butte in the middle of the night, so we were crossing a big cattle field.
02:07:56.000And then I was walking and two friends were ahead of me.
02:07:59.000And I kind of just looked to my right, stopped, looked to my right, and I just saw these in the distance.
02:08:04.000I don't know how far it would be, but they looked about that big from my perspective.
02:08:11.000Down a ways and there were three of them.
02:08:13.000It wasn't one object because they would change distance from each other and change elevation a little bit.
02:10:33.000These restricted areas, that's where they're seeing these things.
02:10:36.000Like, it just makes sense that that would be where they would practice these things.
02:10:40.000But what's weird about it is that, you know, like, there was that famous UFO crossing incident over the northern, all the states of going from, I think, Seattle or Washington all the way to Idaho, Montana, North Dakota.
02:10:52.000They were chasing the squadron of unidentified flying objects in the 50s.
02:11:35.000I think there is some kind of propulsion system that is able to change on a dime and doesn't necessarily get affected in the way that normal.
02:11:44.000So there's probably multiple things going on simultaneously.
02:12:25.000This dude, he basically just recounts stories of paranormal, whether it's occult stuff, spiritual stuff, not spiritual stuff, but just like ghost stuff.
02:16:40.000And then there's just like all like structures on the moon and then like the Japanese when they, or not Chinese that landed on the backside of the moon, like.
02:16:47.000The moon is only 60% as dense as Earth.
02:16:50.000That doesn't mean the moon is hollow, but as with many things, like the moon landing itself, conspiracy theorists perpetuated that misinformation.
02:17:24.000But the difference is taking a human biological organism and having to go into deep space and go through the Van Allen radiation belts and come back.
02:17:32.000And also the photographs that were perfectly made with these Hasselback cameras.
02:18:36.000The fact that we haven't been back since 1972. Well, they said that a lot of that was because they lost interest because it was just a competition.
02:18:58.000So if they are going into space and they're just not going into deep space, they're going, you know, just like space shuttle space, which is not past the magnetosphere, the Van Allen radiation belts, out into deep space.
02:20:45.000They go to the space station and then come back down.
02:20:47.000It's like this insanely profound recognition that this is this very delicate, fragile thing that we're all a part of.
02:20:56.000And then when you're in it and you're concentrating on boundaries and borders and disputes over resources and all that shit, you lose perspective of the magic of what you are on this organic spaceship that's hurling through the cosmos.
02:21:13.000I always trip out with my friends where I'm like, you know, we're talking about being, like even us just talking about being on the planet.
02:21:19.000We are on the planet, but we're talking about being on the planet that we are on, which is just insane to me.
02:27:35.000I've lost a little weight, and I haven't really been exercising that hard, just like getting like 7,000 steps a day or whatever.
02:27:41.000But a lot of it's diet, and it's like once you get that sugar out of it, and I've also been taking this stuff called, I think it's like called Super Gut or something like that, and it's like this powder that you add to a drink, and it aids your gut biome, whatever.
02:27:55.000I think the combination of the two things that I'm doing, I'm feeling like I'm a little bit more in control of my appetite, and that feels good.
02:28:03.000Because then if I do go off one day a week, I feel fine.
02:28:08.000I was at Sarah's party, and she had some sick pizza, and I was like, ah, screw it, I'm just going to go for it.
02:28:13.000But I also danced for two and a half hours as well, so I felt like it all balanced out.
02:28:18.000Do you find that when you're on keto, your appetite is much more suppressed because your body is able to burn fat?
02:29:59.000I mean, like, I don't mind for holiday, like Thanksgiving, like, I'll get excited about, oh, I'm just going to have some turkey and some freaking gravy and some cranberry sauce, whatever.
02:30:08.000I can get excited about a holiday meal, but my everyday day-to-day meal stuff, that's the part where I'm like, I need to get into a mindset where I know this is going to be great for me and I'm going to feel good and I made a good decision.
02:30:22.000You know, and that can be really hard when you get that sugar talking to you and all those carbs.
02:30:28.000I mean, last night I got a shark-a-tree board for, you know, at night because I didn't eat dinner.
02:30:33.000I had like the cheese and the meat and there was like this basket of bread and I just smelled it and I just took one bite of it and I was like, okay...
02:33:19.000There's some online stuff if you don't want to hire a trainer, too.
02:33:22.000There's plenty of online stuff that you can get.
02:33:25.000There is, but I really love a trainer.
02:33:27.000I love going like four days a week, going to a trainer and getting that relationship going, and they're like obsessed with goals, and I'm like, yeah, we're both in line with this and the improvements.
02:36:48.000Is that that's one of the best ways to fix it.
02:36:49.000There's so many people that have fixed a lot of those problems, including friends of mine, particularly with Ibogaine, which I have no experience in.
02:38:57.000Shout out to Rick Doblin and MAPS. They're so important.
02:39:01.000They're so important for elevating the discourse of psychedelics and highlighting the importance and all the benefits and the fact that they're doing MDMA therapy for soldiers and people with PTSD and finding some really excellent results from that.
02:39:16.000That, to me, is so promising and so important.
02:39:19.000And one of the things that you're seeing now that I think is really incredible is people on the right, right-wing people, that recognize because they have friends that are in the military that have come back and have done, whether it's psilocybin studies or psilocybin therapy or ayahuasca,
02:39:40.000That is huge and that's so that's it's changing the way people think about these things where they thought it was just for losers who want to escape reality and you're just a drug addict and now they're realizing oh Maybe I was a little closed-minded and you know you're talking to fucking Navy SEALs that have done it It's helped them tremendously like oh I respect those people I'm changing my perspective.
02:40:13.000It's like when you end literally sometimes neural pathways, new neurons or new neural pathways are generated.
02:40:21.000When you're trapped in either a trauma or something, you're essentially in a really tight loop that you can't see any other way of existing.
02:40:30.000When you have a psychedelic, it's like you zoom out and you're like, oh shit, there's all this other terrain.
02:40:38.000But I think when I went to the MAPS convention, me and Eric Andre did MAPS show with Flaming Lips.
02:40:47.000But I also spoke on a panel about psychedelics in film.
02:40:52.000And I'm just like such a huge proponent of it and the fact that it's being taken seriously and they're doing peer-reviewed papers and research and there's more research being done on it.
02:42:15.000I just want us to get some perspective and kind of realize like, oh man, we could be doing some pretty amazing shit at all times if we want to.
02:43:14.000I always tell people, I say like, it's the comedy club because it is, but it is a comedy club that if a comedian wanted to design the perfect comedy club, That's the comedy club that you would make.
02:44:40.000I don't want it to be something I'm pouring money into every year and I'm like, oh my god, I gotta get rid of the club.
