Comedian and TV host Joe Rogan stopped by the Comedy Store in Los Angeles to perform a stand-up set last night. It was a big night for him, and we talk about how nervous it was to do it, and what it was like to be in the spotlight with a star like that. Joe also talks about how he got nervous before and after the show, and how he dealt with it. We also talk about what it's like being on the Tonight Show with Seth Meyers, and why he thinks it's a good idea to do stand-ups on TV. And of course, we talk a lot about the comedy store. It's a weird place, but it's also one of the funniest places in the world, so why not make it a pilgrimage to the comedy club where he grew up? Joe and I talk about that and much more on this episode of the podcast! Check out the show on Comedy Central's "Comedy Central Presents" and Comedy Central Radio's "The Late Show with John Rocha" on HBO's "Saturday Night Live" on the other side of Comedy Central.

00:00:29.000And so when I came out, I was like, yeah, this is a big deal.
00:00:33.000It's been a while since I've had some nerves, and I was coming out there going, oh, it took me like about 30, 40 long seconds to really dial in and go, all right.
00:00:40.000I was kind of having it out of my head going, Joe's watching, and I hope this goes well, you know, because it's such a beautiful club.
00:01:59.000They got to be there at the very first show.
00:02:01.000I used to feel like that at the store a bit.
00:02:04.000I would literally crush at the Laugh Factory 25 minutes before I walked over to the comedy store and then I was like, I hope Adam sees this.
00:06:56.000He was on Kill Tony and he brought a checkbook and started just writing checks to people for like a million dollars and it just became this running gag.
00:09:04.000So at least it's different enough that you, like, whether you love it or hate it, you go, I've never seen it before.
00:09:10.000Well, even if you, well, first of all, you should appreciate that, but then also appreciate that whatever he's doing, it's funny right now, and he's gonna get better.
00:09:21.000I watched him, and I don't know if you'll like me saying this, he didn't do too great on the show that I watched, and I'm in the back going, whatever that is, sign me up.
00:11:26.000I was a terrible open-miker that got some laughs.
00:11:29.000I was a king of the open-mikers in Seattle.
00:11:31.000And so he brings me on the road to open for him.
00:11:33.000And he goes, you know, the only reason I'm bringing you on the road is you make me like stand-up comedy again.
00:11:38.000You're so excited about it, and the way you don't shut up about it, and you wanna tell jokes, and you wanna write jokes, or you tell me, like, hey, last night after that bit, have you thought about adding this?
00:11:47.000And, like, you make me remember that I like it.
00:11:50.000And I do feel like, and I've been doing comedy since 2005, I do feel a little bit of that, where I'm looking for someone to...
00:11:59.000I loved being in that green room and hanging.
00:14:53.000So I guess there was like, you know how sound works and hard surfaces and corners.
00:14:58.000If you're in like the back of, you know, a little corner area and sounds coming from a speaker pointed a specific direction, it's probably not set up for comedy is what I'm trying to say.
00:17:08.000I had one corporate event that was like $10,000 corporate that was supposed to be in a theater.
00:17:13.000And then they're like, well, we can't now because COVID. So I'm thinking, I just don't give that money or they're going to have to reschedule for another time.
00:17:18.000And they go, but we can do it on Zoom.
00:17:20.000And I was like, well, that's 10 grand.
00:18:00.000So there were comics who are now cool with me again, but at the time were like, can you believe Jeff Dye is just not taking this serious?
00:18:10.000I wish I lived in a place like this or Florida or something during that lockdown.
00:18:14.000Well, I kind of saw what was going on In the beginning, but I was hoping that we would come out of it and it really would just be a couple weeks and everything would be back to normal.
00:18:26.000But when it got to a month and there was no talk at all about reopening, and then there was talk about it might be six months, it got real weird.
00:18:35.000And then there was the George Floyd riots.
00:18:37.000And then there was the lines outside the gun stores.
00:18:40.000And I was like, okay, I see where this is going.
00:20:31.000But the point is that they made all this shit up just so they could stop hemp because they had come up with a new method of processing hemp fiber.
00:20:42.000There was a new machine that was invented called a decorticator.
00:20:45.000And the decorticator allowed them to economically effectively process hemp without using slave labor.
00:20:51.000See, when they stopped using slaves and then when they started picking cotton, people moved from hemp to cotton.
00:24:02.000But I've seen people, like Alex Berenson wrote this book called Tell Your Children, and it's all about, there's like a certain percentage of people that take high dose THC that experience psychotic states.
00:24:15.000There's this lady in LA who stabbed her boyfriend 108 times off one hit.
00:24:21.000He gave her some crazy, super potent weed.
00:24:23.000She went wacky, stabbed him 108 times, and the fucked up part is she only got two years probation.
00:26:52.000When he got in his face, his body was so tense and he got so close to me.
00:26:57.000The thing about, people have to realize about getting punched, this is very important to know, sucker punching works because your reaction time is far slower than action time.
00:27:12.000It's probably five to ten times faster than reaction time.
00:27:17.000So if I go like that and I hit you, by the time you register that I've turned my shoulders and that my fist is heading in your direction, You're hit, and you're going to get knocked out.
00:29:26.000This is the answer to the Houdini thing.
00:29:28.000It says, on Friday morning, October 22nd, in his dressing room at the Princess Theatre in Montreal, he was punched hard in the stomach by an excitable McGill student, Jay Gordon Whitehead, who wanted to test the theory that Houdini was capable of withstanding hard blows to the abdomen.
00:30:54.000Like, you watch UFC fight, you go, you know, we couldn't do this, if this was dogs.
00:30:57.000Like, I can't believe, I can't believe what, and there's people gathering around, people, I'm gamblers, you know, and you're just going, I don't think that this should be allowed, but they do it.
00:31:10.000When, every now and again, I mean, it always, I'm always aware of how dangerous it is for the fighters, and how wild it is to see, and But every now and then someone would get really injured.
00:32:06.000Chris said that he checked it earlier, and he thinks that it'd hurt.
00:32:10.000Like, check means when Anderson throws a kick, you lift up your leg and you try to get it where his shin hits the top of your, like, right below your knee.
00:32:31.000Because it's also, it's like, you can take a shot like that pretty hard, but in the middle of the shin, you got all that crazy leverage, and down there where Anderson broke his, think of how thin that is compared to the bones at the top.
00:32:59.000And, you know, when you work at a place like a moving company or like, you know, any of these kind of jobs where they just hire criminals.
00:33:06.000People with criminal records are like, you want to make 20 bucks an hour?
00:33:08.000Just load up this big rig with frozen groceries.
00:33:11.000I've had a lot of those jobs when I was young because I didn't go to college.
00:33:15.000You could tell me if this is real or not, but it's an unreliable source, but this guy's a guy who used to be in the Marine Corps, and they used to tell us, you know, you're gonna get punched.
00:33:24.000You wanna get hit in the face, you wanna get hit right here.
00:33:41.000Yeah, but the thing about the face is it puts you out.
00:33:43.000If someone's gonna just hit you, if you know you're gonna get hit and you get to choose where you get hit, you take it in the stomach and you prepare for it.
00:33:51.000It's still gonna suck, but you could take a few.
00:33:54.000If you get punched in the face by the right guy...
00:40:17.000I'm sure you know everything about Tyson.
00:40:19.000I'm not going to tell you anything you don't know, but I love they did that documentary where he's like, he's being so sweet about his coach, and he's going, I'm nothing.
00:40:28.000And they let me live in their house, and he's teaching me boxing, and they're being so nice to me, and these white people, and they're letting me sleep with them in the house, and they're feeding me, and I'm thinking, I'm going to rob these motherfuckers.
00:40:41.000His instinct was still like, they didn't lock the house up.
00:41:18.000But anyway, point is she's an amazing actress too and she played his girlfriend and she was talking to Paul Newman and she had this chain around her neck.
00:41:31.000And Paul Newman was like, where'd you get it?
00:41:34.000And she's like, oh, it came from Vincent.
00:44:02.000In the old days, we'd ride our horses, and we'd have a little picture of our lady back home, and we'd clean up the horses, and we'd make some food, and we'd whatever, and we'd go, I wonder what's going on out there?
00:44:13.000What do you think's going on out there?
00:44:14.000We might talk about it a little, call it a night.
00:44:16.000We had our responsibilities, we had our little things.
00:44:19.000You knew your girl, and you knew some girls in town, but you knew your woman that you loved and your family.
00:44:24.000And then it's like, now I don't wonder what anyone's doing.
00:44:28.000Can't even escape my ex-girlfriend's breakfast post.
00:44:32.000We know there's got to be some happy medium.
00:50:08.000There's something about the energy that someone would have that's so unique and so aggressive sexually, like some girl who's just behaving like a complete nympho, psycho, and you're like, oh my god, this is wild.
00:50:23.000And when you're a young guy- Wild is sexy, yeah, yeah.
00:50:50.000Like, how much can you control that crazy?
00:50:52.000Because occasionally you're going to fucking spin out around the corners.
00:50:55.000One of my best friends is a crazy person who, I love him, but he, you know, I can't tell you how often there's some situation where I go, hey, bud.
00:52:04.000Dude, if things go sideways, it's not safe anywhere.
00:52:08.000We have to understand that this society that we have that stays civil and beautiful and equitable and we have all this change that's happening in the world, this is only possible if you can get goods and services to people and if people have access to information.
00:52:27.000If the power went out in this country, if someone attacked the grid and just destroyed our power grid and destroyed our satellites, if there was a coordinated effort by multiple superpowers to just destroy our satellites, destroy our grid,
00:52:49.000And then, if it lasts too long and there's some sort of a hostile military takeover of the country...
00:52:58.000You're living in a totally different world than the one you live in now.
00:53:00.000Now you live in China, and you never thought that was possible.
00:53:05.000You thought that, you know, you would be able to just exist here and demand universal basic income, and you would have all these ideas in your head about the border wall is racist, and this and that.
00:53:18.000And then all of a sudden, you live in a world that's unrecognizable.
00:53:25.000And that's just an example of what could happen if someone acts, if a human being does something which is very similar to what other human beings are doing right now all over the world.
00:53:35.000What's happening right now in Ukraine, what's happening right now in Israel, that is human beings launching bombs at people they've never met.
00:55:27.000I think they've got some theories of how to do something, but last time I spoke to someone who's an expert on the subject, he said it was about 10 years away from them being able to actually Successfully divert asteroids.
00:55:39.000And then also, you've got to spot them all.
00:55:41.000Some of them are coming from behind the sun, and apparently the way the gravity of the sun works, because it's so massive, it distorts the view of things that are coming from behind it.
00:55:51.000Yeah, the asteroid goes, how about a sucker punch?
00:55:53.000You know, just a little sucker punch to Earth.
00:56:43.000Well, he said this thing, I'll get to that in a second.
00:56:45.000He said, he goes, he's talking about life on other planets, and he goes, saying that there isn't life, you know, other than us, is like taking a thimble of ocean water and going, look, there's no whales.
00:58:01.000Bro, there's black holes out there that are the size of galaxies.
00:58:04.000Joe, if we were on mushrooms right now, I would be quiet for about four minutes after this, just going, okay, can you give me four minutes to just look at your roof for a second?
00:58:49.000Do you think aliens are looking at us going...
00:58:52.000This guy's, he's all losing his mind over a slam dunk.
00:58:56.000You know, he's going like, they're all, everyone on this planet is going, that guy slam dunks the best.
00:59:03.000When you look at the world like, the universe like that, and you go, all these earthlings are wearing the same shirt as that guy that dunks the best.
00:59:13.000Not the guy that survives the best, not the guy that can feed the most or is the most noble.
00:59:19.000We're all losing our mind about the guy that made the most three-pointers.
00:59:24.000Well, I think it all has to do with war.
00:59:39.000And I think that that instinct to dominate and to get better at one-on-one competition or team competition all started from tactics and strategies in war.
00:59:54.000And that desire, that human reward system is still in our heads.
01:00:00.000And we know that we don't want to do that anymore.
01:00:02.000So we have to find other ways of doing it.
01:00:35.000It's like a built-in reward system in our mind.
01:00:40.000And then also, if we're a society that's constantly looking to innovate, we're constantly looking for people that are Pushing the boundaries of whatever they do, whether it's music, whatever they do, comedy, pushing the boundary, like someone who's at the front of the line just out there chasing it,
01:00:56.000because that sort of applies to society as a whole.
01:01:01.000So if someone's doing that in a very public sphere, like playing in the NFL, it excites the energy of the people to do more things.
01:01:11.000I think it's like a tribal reward system that's in our head, too.
01:01:19.000I think they would say this is probably a normal progression of, you know, territorial apes, then territorial apes with nuclear weapons, and then territorial apes that eventually evolve and then go out into the stars.
01:01:31.000That's probably, it's probably how it always has to happen.
01:01:34.000Neither one of them died, and that one's better.
01:01:36.000Because I don't think with competition, I don't think you ever get the kind of innovation that you have today.
01:01:43.000Or that you've probably had in the past.
01:01:44.000I don't think you build the pyramids without competition.
01:01:48.000There's something about that aspect of the human spirit that we want to compete, we want to win.
01:01:55.000That fuels us in a way that people are embarrassed by, I think, sometimes.
01:02:01.000It's one of the things they hate about Trump.
01:10:10.000Yeah, I bet you can get really fucked up.
01:10:12.000Well, it's good I didn't say his name, huh?
01:10:13.000The conclusion of a study on it done in 2021, and right here it says, uh, because if they admit psychological issues, they're gonna probably- they could lose their job.
01:10:23.000So there's not a lot of known- It's like the concussion thing in the NFL. Yeah, like they're saying in this whole study, they know there is something here, but because it's really hard to study and it's all secret.
01:12:49.000The death this year was during Trump, 2017, when at least 4,931 civilians were likely killed, the vast majority in coalition bombings of Iraq and Syria.
01:13:00.000However, going by maximum estimates, 2017 emerges as the worst year for civilians with up to 19,623 killed, almost all in the bombing campaign against ISIS. Death toll from US airstrikes,
01:13:17.000387,000 civilians who are believed to have been killed by all parties during the War on Terror.
01:15:30.000Civilian death toll is calculated between...
01:15:32.000So here's the other problem, too, that I've been told.
01:15:35.000The problem is a lot of times when they get their death numbers, they're getting them from the ground.
01:15:40.000They're getting them from people on the ground, and whether it's ISIS or whoever, will exaggerate the amount of civilian deaths.
01:15:47.000Okay, and so to make it look terrible that I mean this is one of the reasons why you know like Hamas does things in hospitals Yeah, you know, they just killed those guys in hospitals the other day So don't they live under the hospitals and stuff or like that's where the base is supposedly I don't know enough to comment on that But I do know that that's what they've always said these guys operate in places where you can't bomb like hospitals Yeah,
01:16:09.000it turns out that was true in this case they killed these three guys in a hospital That was true over a five month period in Afghanistan over a decade ago.
01:16:50.000And then you'll say something like, you know, someone will say, well, like, biologically, we have a male and a female has chromosomes, different chromosomes than a man.
01:16:58.000You can look at the bones of a man and the bones of a female.
01:17:00.000And despite what's going on in your emotions and in your soul or spirit or whatever we want to label it, if we're just talking about the biological makeup of something, we can put them into two categories.
01:17:13.000Forget what your spirit is or your essence or how you feel.
01:17:16.000If we're just looking at the meat and bones and cells and chromosomes of something, we can make biological arguments that there is a male and a female.
01:17:26.000And then his argument goes, why do you care?
01:18:33.000You're allowed to do whatever you want to do.
01:18:34.000We can treat them nice, but then also have facts.
01:18:36.000But you cannot just say you're a woman and compete with women in sports.
01:18:41.000And if you support that, scientifically, that is untenable.
01:18:45.000Just scientifically, with the amount of data that we have about the differences between males and females in sports, The gap is so wide that you're going to have your outliers, your extraordinary females, and your weak men, and they're going to kind of cross over.
01:19:00.000Yeah, but those examples aren't valid because if you take a biological male of normal athletic ability competing against a biological female...
01:19:42.000It's so crazy to let them do this because there are people that are legitimately transgender and they, again, should be able to do whatever they want to do.
01:19:51.000But there's also people that are out of their fucking mind.
01:21:19.000He got caught up in that same silly mind virus.
01:21:24.000Look, it doesn't mean you're not a compassionate person that recognizes that there's a whole wide variety of human beings that feel different than you.
01:21:37.000You should protect women's sports and protect women that are forced to, in high school, in college, and even in some professional sports, forced to compete against people that have significant physical advantages.
01:21:50.000And I bet a lot of those people are out of their fucking minds.
01:21:54.000How about tell me what percentage of them have mental issues?
01:22:08.000You've seen comics lean into their audience and become a different person because they develop a certain audience and they're kind of like, oh, I'm going to lean into that.
01:22:53.000You start to say, well, I'd like someone smart and famous and someone who could be on a thing like this to maybe say these things instead of just going, well, why would you care?
01:25:59.000Look, if you're a trans woman and a biological female agrees to fight you, I feel the same way that I feel when someone's going to ride a bull.
01:26:09.000Like, I wouldn't recommend it, but if you want to do it, I support your right to do whatever the fuck you want to do.
01:26:14.000There's a woman who fought in the UFC, Ashley Evans-Smith, and she actually beat Fallon Fox.
01:26:21.000She mounted her and pounded on her, but she's a really good fighter and she made it to the UFC. Where she lost to Raquel Pennington, who is the current UFC Bantamweight Champion.
01:26:58.000So they decided to pretend that real feminism is just letting your vagina just leak blood into your pants and it's proudly showing off your sweatpants.
01:29:00.000That's when they add the LPGA to the headline, it makes more news than when you say NNXT. That's why you shouldn't believe everything you see on Instagram Reels.
01:30:05.000But don't you think it's still probably faster than the women's?
01:30:08.000Yeah, so the average for a man, it was saying, is about 115 on the PGA Tour, and the average LPGA is about 95. And it doesn't say where they were before or after.
01:30:18.000Also, is that what he said, or was that what was measured?
01:30:57.000There's a lot of things with hips like the shape of hips you don't generate the same amount of power like women kickers There's such a vast difference between a woman kicker and a man kicker.
01:31:08.000It's kind of stunning And I wonder if a lot of that has to do with the shape of the hips.
01:31:14.000Because if you get a woman who is like 135 pounds and ever hit a bag, and then you have a man who's 135 pounds and hit the bag, the difference is so stark.
01:32:16.000So if you're just like taking testosterone your whole life, your whole life, and all these other women are, you know, just fucking being normal and cheerleading and going to parties, you're competing against them.
01:34:22.000But when they get to the very top, like when you're playing through a pool bracket...
01:34:27.000You know, say if there's a hundred or so professionals that are in this tournament, they're playing in this double elimination bracket.
01:34:33.000So you lose once, go to the one-loss side, you lose there, you're out of the tournament.
01:34:36.000So you're running against killer after killer because there's a hundred professionals there.
01:34:41.000And there's a high likelihood that someone gets a bunch of good rolls, you scratch on the break, a bunch of things happen, a person runs out a lot, and you lose, you know, seven-nothing to some person, and that person happens to be a chick.
01:37:43.000It's a game where dudes will dump you.
01:37:46.000You have to have a really good relationship with your backers, and you've got to spread money around if you win.
01:37:52.000You've got to make sure that people don't dump on you.
01:37:54.000Because if there's a lot of gambling involved, like say if you and I were in a match, and we're two top players, And you've got a bunch of people that are coming from fucking Cincinnati and Kansas City and Chicago.
01:38:06.000They're coming to watch this match and there might be a half a million dollars on the side.
01:39:46.000Where it's like, I'm not that I'm not like an old man or anything, but I, you know, they used to act like nobody was gambling on football or basketball.
01:39:53.000And now they'll just have the spreads right up on the screen.
01:39:57.000They're just like, here's the betting lines.
01:42:18.000So for, uh, I go to Terry Bradshaw's house, one of these things, and I was like, I wanted to get him something for Father's Day, so I got him, like, these nice cutters, you know.
01:42:28.000A few hundred bucks for these cutters.
01:42:30.000It's like, what's the nicest cutters for cigars?
01:44:04.000Lighters with fuel are prohibited in checked bags unless they adhere to the Department of Transportation's exemption, which allows up to two fueled lighters if properly enclosed in a DOT-approved case.
01:44:15.000You have to put your fucking lighters in a bomb case.
01:44:51.000I was laughing about, this is an old current event, but when it was a new thing that we had to take our shoes off for TSA, like after 9-11, George Bush was like, even I will be going through TSA checkpoints for Air Force One.
01:45:55.000So, I was at LAX. This is years ago, and it's when the big scan, the thing went around your body.
01:46:02.000And I see Bill, and he's at CSA, and I've known him for, I've known of him, and he's known of me since, like, 2008, because he played Giggles Comic Club in Seattle when I was, like, a young comic.
01:46:17.000And he's like, he's just waiting at the side, and I'm going through the thing, and a guy comes over to him, he goes, hey, if I could just get you to stand over here next to the machine, because he's refusing the big scan around thing.
01:48:07.000As such, millimeter wave radiation is non-ionizing and incapable of causing cancers by radiolytic DNA-bound cleavage.
01:48:18.000Due to the shallow penetration depth of millimeter waves into tissue, typically less than one millimeter, acute biological effects of irradiation are localized in the epidermal and dermal layers and manifest primarily as thermal effects.
01:48:32.000There's no clear evidence to date Of harmful effects of the vaccine.
01:49:15.000So back then, when you were an x-ray technician, you would have to test the x-ray to make sure it's calibrated, make sure it's working right.
01:49:24.000So the way they would do it, they would x-ray their own hand.
01:53:08.000So like loom on a regular watch, like when it has loom painted into it, what happens is when you're in the sunlight and in the flashlights and studio lighting and whatever, fluorescent lighting, it charges that paint.
01:53:24.000And so then when you go in the dark, then it glows.
01:53:26.000And it glows for like a little while, like a few hours maybe.
01:56:36.000I have personally watched bears walk on two legs, and if I didn't know any better, and if it was a dark environment, like it was dusk, like you barely can see, I would think it's Bigfoot.
01:57:41.000If you only find fossils from 100,000 years ago, you could assume that this animal at least lived then.
01:57:49.000But you don't know when it went extinct.
01:57:51.000You might find some new fossil like 10 years from now, they might find some new site, and wait a minute, these are 20,000 years old, or these are 30,000 years old, or these are 50,000 years old.
01:58:02.000But either way, anatomically identical human beings have been around for 500,000 plus years, maybe even more.
01:58:49.000First of all, let me tell you something.
01:58:51.000If you're in the woods, and you're in a heightened state, because you're looking around, you don't know what's out there, it's all thick woods, it's weird.
01:59:26.000And the problem is you get something into someone's head, a mythological thing, whether it's a UFO or whether it's Bigfoot.
01:59:33.000I think the world is way more slippery than we like to think.
01:59:40.000And I think there's states of consciousness that people can achieve during high anxiety levels, definitely during the use of psychedelic drugs, sometimes during weird states in their life, like near-death experiences, loss of a loved one, extreme emotion, a lot going on,
01:59:56.000a lot of anxiety and fear, like you would have if you were in the woods, and then you see a light across the sky.
02:00:39.000It's a community of people that want to believe something that there's zero evidence for, and they're fucking locked in.
02:00:44.000Yeah, they're hitting a tree with a stick, going like, we're gonna wait for a knockback, and it's different Bigfoot researchers hitting a different tree, talking back to them.
02:00:52.000Yeah, it's like if you go to public land elk hunting, there's a bunch of people elk calling.
02:02:20.000Or also like, you know, some cute girl that's like, oh, I'm gonna clip weed all summer and make five grand and hang out with other potheads who, like, you don't realize how terrible that job is.
02:02:30.000Well, you're involved in an illegal business, and the cartels in that business.
02:02:35.000Like, I had a friend who found a cartel grow operation on a ranch.
02:04:10.000I will say that that's like the most frustrating part about the Bigfoot subject is you got guys like who really like, oh, I think an ape could, like a pod of apes could like live out here and this thing.
02:04:21.000And so you'll start to, guys like me will be like, yeah, this makes good sense.
02:04:24.000And then they'll get like a Native American to talk about it.
02:04:27.000And he'll be like, it's the magic man of the woods.
02:04:52.000Listen, let's imagine that states of consciousness can interface with other things that are around us all the time that we don't necessarily see.
02:05:01.000Now, we know that's true if you take psychedelics, and we know that psychedelics are produced in the brain.
02:05:07.000I can imagine a moment Where you are in such a state that you could see something that you would not be able to see under normal conditions.
02:05:17.000It's not outside the realm of possibility.
02:05:19.000I'm not married to it, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.
02:05:22.000Now, if that is what we're seeing with UFOs, if what we're seeing is our future, if what we're seeing with those beings is the eventual shape that human beings will take, As evolution progresses, we become these genderless,
02:05:38.000little spindly things with giant heads, flying spaceships with our minds.
02:05:45.000If that makes sense, Why wouldn't I be able to also see what we used to be, or what we could have been, or what other things used to live with us?
02:05:54.000And maybe it's almost like a ghost, almost like a memory that you can access of a different timeline, a different dimension, where this thing does exist.
02:06:06.000And that's why it's so elusive and it comes and goes, because it's not a real material thing.
02:07:02.000Like, if there's a mindset that could be achieved, it's a mind state to be achieved, where you interact with things that aren't there all the time, like UFOs, that would be when it would happen.
02:09:08.000You seen that video recently where, um...
02:09:12.000These guys, I'm gonna make up a place, but it's some place like, but not necessarily Thailand, and they're on these motorcycles, and this little man comes out with like a spear, and then they chase it into the high grass.
02:09:24.000Well, it has a spear because it's kind of startled by their motorcycles, and then they're going, wow, wow, and they kind of chase it down this little trail, but then this is it.
02:11:04.000I feel like we have heard it before, but...
02:11:05.000It just sounds like a lot of motorcycles.
02:11:07.000It's like, because they're all on motorcycles.
02:11:10.000It's like a 12-year-old GoPro video, so it's not the best.
02:11:12.000See, the thing about that is fascinating, because you're dealing with insane jungle, like insane, dense terrain.
02:11:20.000Where the Oren Pendek is, where do they think that thing exists?
02:11:24.000It was like Vietnam and some other area.
02:11:27.000But if the island of Flores had these creatures on them, Like the idea that there would be just a small population of them that still existed, that seems to me to be more likely than Bigfoot.
02:12:51.000Okay, so initially thought to be only 12,000 years ago.
02:12:55.000However, more extensive stratigraphic and chronological work has been pushed dating of the most recent evidence of its existence back to 50,000 years ago.
02:13:06.000So that's the most recent evidence, 50,000 years ago.
02:13:09.000And homo floriensis skeletal materials now dated from 60,000 to 100,000 years ago.
02:13:16.000Stone tools recovered alongside the skeletal remains were from archaeological horizons ranging from 50,000 to 190,000 years ago.
02:16:47.000Because, like, I'll read a thing, like, this soccer player came out and beheaded a referee or something like that, and it's always in some sort of place, you know?
02:16:56.000You don't think that it's in, like, Ohio.
02:18:24.000He also, so they found, the wife called it in, he then drove a hundred miles and broke into a Fort Indiantown Gap base and stole a gun to Pennsylvania National Guard headquarters.
02:18:37.000He was found with a gun, but he didn't resist arrest.
02:20:45.000So I told the Hollywood, the next day I called, and I said, hey, you know, maybe you don't have a guy that's bragging about how he's going to shoot up everybody eventually.
02:20:53.000Because you always hear these signs and go, why didn't I do anything?
02:20:55.000Well, the thing about comedy is mental ill people sign up for open mics.
02:21:00.000So I got him banned, and then the girl bartender who works there, who's a great woman, she's really great, she's like, I can't believe you did that.
02:22:58.000And that's all in a need to be like, we talked about a guy last night that's like, He would treat people terribly, but then when you'd hear him talk about people that he liked, he would say, like, he was a real jerk to me.
02:23:12.000You're like, yeah, see how that made you feel?
02:23:14.000That's what you do to people like you think that that, you know, it makes no sense.
02:23:19.000Well, people are just trapped in their own head.
02:26:24.000Yeah, I tried, but I think about that moment a lot now that I'm with comics and I'm in these circles because they would just go, yeah, I know exactly what he's trying to do.
02:26:31.000I did one of those jokes five minutes ago.
02:26:34.000It's like the open mic-er trying the abortion joke.
02:26:36.000Like, hey, you're not good enough for this yet.
02:26:40.000You gotta learn, and one of the ways you learn is by swinging and missing.
02:26:44.000That's why a lot of comics will say, and I don't, again, won't name names, but they'll be like, I just went in there, I did my set, and I got the fuck out of there.
02:26:51.000Barry Katz used to tell comics to do that.
02:27:10.000And that's why those comics, if I were to name their names, they don't do podcasts, and they don't go because they've never done the hang part.
02:28:44.000You know, that it's like, now I'm having to listen to, you know, a girl I like, friend, talk about, you know, shopping that day or something.
02:28:51.000I'm being irritable about it, like, ugh.
