00:03:52.000I was saying even his 2019 special was so funny that I sat through 16 minutes of Jacksonville jokes acting like I knew that about Jacksonville.
00:04:45.000It's almost like Howard Hughes shit where you're either going to be wearing boxes of Kleenexes and shoes or wrestling a 7th grader and it's going to be filmed.
00:06:59.000But there was a lot of work involved in getting to where you are, so you know your progression and what you put in to get to that progression.
00:07:07.000But if you just are born the son of a king...
00:07:34.000But back then, they were like, oh, the milk of magnesia and...
00:07:37.000Just putting hot hot flames on people and shit when did they figure out cocaine who was the first to figure out cocaine a Brave person a brave person that knew a little bit about science because it ain't like weed where you can just pull it off and put fire to it cocaine and alcohol takes Someone so dedicated to getting fucked up that they become good at science Have you ever seen that show Trafficked?
00:08:05.000There's this woman who's like one of my personal heroes, Mariana Van Zeller.
00:08:12.000She's like a real on-the-ground journalist who goes to dangerous places.
00:08:18.000Yeah, the people that need to do ayahuasca to stop the PTSD. She seems fine, which is crazy.
00:08:24.000All those war correspondents are all like, you need to probably go do something to erase everything you've seen.
00:08:30.000She was first on the show like 10 years ago because she exposed the fentanyl issue and the, excuse me, the opioid issue in Florida where they had those pill mills and they didn't have a database.
00:08:41.000So you could go to, they call them pain management centers, you would go there, you would talk to the doctor on the left side, the doctors say, oh, you need pills, and you go to the right side and they give you pills.
00:09:00.000Yeah, oh, yeah, they call that what do they call it doctor shopping or like going around and like there's a word for it where they go doctor to doctor Yeah, you can you could you back then you could do it because they didn't have a database Oh, they all that everybody thought was insane.
00:09:13.000This is a controlled substance a highly addictive heroin They take in pill form and you don't you know?
00:09:27.000I'm going to absolutely check that out.
00:09:29.000But she went to the fucking jungle of Colombia to where they make cocaine and filmed the whole process with the people making it and then hiked out with them when they carried it on their backpacks through the jungle.
00:10:34.000Different voices, or just I change my voices so no one knows who I am.
00:10:38.000I'm like, I'm telling you, this cocaine is unbelievable.
00:10:41.000And they're like, Dangerfield's back doing coke.
00:10:44.000When I was a busboy at this steakhouse in Aurora growing up when I was in high school, and we'd smoke cigarettes in the room that wasn't being used.
00:11:20.000And he's like, because we'd always ask him, like, did you kill people?
00:11:22.000He's like, no, I just shot a shit ton of donkeys.
00:11:25.000And he's like, because all these donkeys would just have all this weight on them.
00:11:29.000And then he'd just pop them in the middle of the jungle and he'd be like, well, now you've got, you know, and then it would set up like, okay, now go get them.
00:11:35.000But this dude, it's like, him telling us that and us being 16 and wanting it to be people, you're like, no, but did you kill people?
00:11:42.000He's like, no, you're not listening to what I did.
00:11:52.000So we're going to lock everybody up who sells it, so the only people that are going to sell it are the people that can get away with selling it in Mexico.
00:16:37.000And I think it's just going to get more and more invasive.
00:16:42.000Because that seems the direction that it keeps going.
00:16:44.000If I had a guess, and then this is obviously just a guess, I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, but I feel like this can't be stopped, especially with AI. When they're talking about AI and all the things that AI can do for you now, it's just people are getting papers written,
00:17:01.000they're getting busted all the time because ChatGPT is writing them.
00:19:08.000Because you are messing with the fiber of reality to fit in with your ideology, and you shouldn't be doing that if you're in control of artificial intelligence.
00:19:18.000It's supposed to be an artificially intelligent program that takes all the information in the world It gives you a take on things, right?
00:19:24.000It's not supposed to be an indoctrination tool.
00:21:43.000What Elvis did, he caused a lot of the populists, if you want to, and usually when people say populists, they usually mean white people, to start listening to a lot of music that normally they wouldn't have been listening to.
00:21:57.000And black people have been going out shaking their behind for centuries.
00:22:00.000What the hell is unusual about them shaking their hips and stuff?
00:22:03.000And that's all Elvis was doing was copying that.
00:22:40.000It might be off microphone, but everyone Cat Williams is off.
00:22:44.000Right, but in his case, this is a totally different time in history.
00:22:49.000You gotta think of, that was like, if you were a really good black artist, you actually couldn't get on TV. It wasn't like today, where these black artists are hugely successful.
00:23:00.000They're like, no, you're just not happening.
00:23:01.000Back then, you were not going to make it.
00:23:04.000And they were gonna really promote this white guy.
00:24:29.000I mean, there's a moment there where you were flying high, and then you got to be like, well, you either got to wrap it up or just be like, what's this plan out?
00:24:37.000There are so many of his concerts where he's got pill sweat.
00:25:29.000Yeah, he must have been the amount of pills he was on that was stopping the shit and then making it damn in him for four months.
00:25:37.000So the rock singer, anyway, I went off on a tangent, suffered from chronic constipation and a post-mortem examination found he had a four-month-old compacted stool sitting in his bowel.
00:28:02.000And so I get through the weekend, fine.
00:28:04.000I get through the weekend, but the second I got back to New York, the next morning I woke up and was like fucking around in my apartment and all the adrenaline had dumped from like the past two weeks.
00:28:14.000I sat down and took the most glorious shit.
00:28:17.000I took like a Jeff Daniels Dumb and Dumber.
00:29:15.000Ari is one of those people where you're like, and now he's, did you see he went viral with that sweet story about what he did for his girlfriend?
00:31:02.000I figured out a long time ago on the road, and I was trying to explain this to Femme, it's better to make less money on the road and then pay a guy who's good to open for you.
00:31:33.000Dan St. Germain's one of my best friends, and he's a hilarious comic, and I bring him on the road, and he just does little stuff that I'm just like, dude, that's so fucking funny.
00:31:41.000He'll get off stage, and I'll be like, that line is so funny, and he'll be like, oh, thanks.
00:31:45.000When we filmed, because I put out my special on YouTube Friday, March 1st, When we filmed that, I brought him, because I was like, let's just keep this like a weekend.
00:31:54.000We're just going to film this like this is, because it was.
00:32:03.000And I get to bring my friend, and then it's just like a hang.
00:32:06.000It's like a fun hang that doesn't feel, because you know when you do special tapings, they can feel like, everyone's like, are you going to do it?
00:32:33.000And I think the club shows represent a more intimate thing, which is what you're doing at home anyway, if you're sitting in your living room.
00:34:25.000Nate had a bit that he did on Conan about his friend trying to fight staff members at a McDonald's because he took a bite out of his burger.
00:34:33.000That was Nate, Lewis, and I because we took a bite out of Lewis's hamburger and racked it back up.
00:34:38.000And this psycho came back in and was like, oh, what's up?
00:34:41.000And started walking at the McDonald's workers.
00:34:44.000And Nate and I were like, no, no, no, no, no.
00:34:46.000Dude, Nate was laughing so hard, he had to bail out of the McDonald's, and I had to get in front of Lewis and be like, it was us!
00:35:21.000When I was a waiter, that's what I would do when someone, I worked in Midtown, and they would throw out this steak.
00:35:27.000We had a steak, and it was in little slices all the way down, and I would see how much they would eat, and then I would just go one over and be like, and that's mine.
00:35:36.000I just put that in a dish and I'd be like, and I got some steak.
00:36:15.000You could pick the wrong guy to do that to, though.
00:36:18.000You could pick a guy who just found out that his wife's been fucking his best friend and she stole $100,000 from his bank account and his boss just fired him and then he is in a fuck.
00:39:32.000And I was listening to Last Podcast on the Left and it hit where I go like, it unlocked because they had this theory that they talked about that the millions of years it took us to crawl out of the water and evolve into...
00:39:47.000Fucking, you know, whatever we are, like monkeys and then Neanderthals and then humans.
00:39:52.000All that millions of years, there were things under the ocean evolving for millions of years with technology and stuff, and we're just up on the roof.
00:40:02.000The problem is we've never seen anything other than us that manipulates its environment.
00:40:07.000The intelligent things that we've found in the ocean that are real are dolphins and orcas.
00:40:17.000But none of them, octopuses are very smart.
00:40:20.000But none of them have ever figured out how to make things like make houses and cars and ships and it's it's all like they're out in the wild There's no houses.
00:40:31.000I used to do a bit about how dangerous the ocean is because there's no doors I'm like there's no doors no matter what it's just fucking sharks and crabs and no doors and everywhere you look everything is eating everything and It's literal murder soup because they all eat each other.
00:41:34.000We're really close to being able to do that now with stuff.
00:41:38.000They figured out how to project what's behind things on screens so you can theoretically have a vehicle that as it's moving through an environment, it's projecting what's there.
00:43:13.000Imagine if you had a friend that's like, hey.
00:43:16.000If a couple people could see it, you would be terrified.
00:43:19.000Imagine if society had gotten to a point at one point in time...
00:43:25.000Where artificial intelligence and human brains mixed, and we created a super class of species, like a new thing, that's both technological and biological, and only a small number of beings got that.
00:43:44.000And those beings, for some reason, left And left us here the way we are.
00:43:53.000That's what we're seeing with these aliens.
00:43:55.000Those are humans that went down the road that we're going down right now.
00:43:59.000And they were like, dude, we're gonna get out of here.
00:44:01.000Yeah, and then maybe there was like all the disasters that happened, like the Younger Dryas impact, the asteroids hit and all that stuff in level society, but they escape because they're interdimensional travelers.
00:44:13.000Yeah, they're like, we're going to get the fuck out of here.
00:45:48.000I didn't think you were going to get me like that.
00:45:50.000But yeah, there could be the idea of benevolent aliens of like...
00:45:57.000The idea that there are aliens that are good and aliens that are bad scares me so much more because you're just like, please leave me alone!
00:46:05.000And like, good ones, bail me out of it.
00:46:07.000But imagine like if something became super intelligent but in a more balanced environment.
00:46:13.000Like, instead of the way humans are so much more intelligent than everything else, what if there was other shit around that was pretty close to us?
00:46:21.000So you're saying, like, what if the food chain, the gap wasn't as big between one and two?
00:46:49.000If there was like, I tried this as a bit, but it never worked.
00:46:53.000If dolphins had legs, like if they just came out, because they rape, and if dolphins came out and just on land, and you'd be like, because they're all muscle.
00:47:46.000Infanticide is like large-scale killing of children, I think.
00:47:49.000I think I might have exaggerated that.
00:47:50.000But I think what they do is when female dolphins have babies, Apparently, they won't breed for a long period of time while they're raising that baby.
00:48:02.000And what male dolphins would do, if they have not had sex with the female dolphin, I hope I'm not fucking any of this up, they'll kill the babies.
00:48:29.000Reports of infanticide in Cestations have been quadrupled in the past decade and now infanticide has now been documented in six species of toothed whale including multiple populations of common bottlenose dolphins.
00:54:59.000Guys, if you clap, I think he'll come up.
00:55:01.000You just feel that pull, that animal strength of an orca whale, that has to be the most terrifying way to die because you are drowning, which is horrible, but number two, you're being forced down by a thing that's the size of a building.
00:55:28.000So it obviously doesn't give a fuck about you.
00:55:30.000But it's holding you in a way that you're like, well, this is it.
00:55:34.000Rescue attempts were thwarted by the whales who refused to let Byrne go even after she was believed to have fallen unconscious in the water.
00:55:41.000Her corpse was later retrieved with a large net, after which she was determined to be deceased.
00:59:18.000So she had previously attacked people in bikinis before.
00:59:22.000And if you're one of those guys that is running that park and you're all sexed up on cocaine, on good 70s cocaine, and you're like, yeah, baby, you can run Shamu.
01:00:12.000It's like, if you watched it in your childhood, it sticks with you.
01:00:15.000It's a movie about a dog and a cat from 86. And it's like...
01:00:22.000Yeah, it's about a pug and this cat and they're friends and they just go on a wild adventure through wherever they're going through, right?
01:00:30.000And you're like, as part of my childhood, it's live action.
01:00:34.000I remember this being like, dude, this is such a sweet movie.
01:00:38.000You look up the animal abuse that occurred on this movie and I can't even watch this because it upsets me knowing there's, I think you can look it up, there was a scene involving a cat where they killed like Oh my god.
01:01:13.000Once they did that episode on Skanks and then I read about it because I was listening to the episode playing video games and I was like, I gotta look this up.
01:02:10.000Yeah, this guy, his name's Dan something, and he was a higher up at Nickelodeon, and it found out that he was just like, like wildly abusing everyone, like feet pictures.
01:02:23.000Dude, his pool at his house, this guy, Dan Schneider, this guy, his pool at his house is afoot.
01:02:28.000And he was accused of having a crazy foot fetish.
01:02:31.000If you have a crazy foot fetish, don't make your pool a foot.
01:04:07.000There's no way no one knew that he was fucking kids.
01:04:10.000No, it's like the Sandusky thing in Penn State, where there were people that kind of found out about it, and then were scared that if they said anything, they'd lose their job.
01:04:20.000And then you're like, well, that's where the power comes in.
01:04:23.000It's not necessarily a clean and cut situation.
01:04:25.000Thing, morality-wise, I mean, obviously it is.
01:04:28.000I think you say, if you see something, you say.
01:04:30.000But, like, those people, kind of who are next to that kind of power, well, they have that thing in them that they want to be close to that power.
01:04:38.000They have that, like, thirst to be close to that power, so they're not going to say anything.
01:04:42.000Because if they say anything, they're kicked out of the party.
01:09:46.000You're watching, you're going to bet on plays, on like Broadway plays, where you're like, you know, funny girl, I bet she has a problem at the end of act one.
01:21:19.000But yeah, I mean, Shane and I on my podcast were just talking about NCAA college football is coming out.
01:21:23.000And we're, I think, going to plan a vacation around playing it because it's a game that hasn't been out since 2014. How does the new Apple...
01:22:28.000Well, this is the best example I can show you, is that, like, they're playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on a big screen, but this is the Yosemite environment that the Apple headset puts you in.
01:22:52.000Yeah, and you can look around and just see...
01:22:54.000That's about the most you could do right now.
01:22:56.000But that must be amazing, when your entire field of view is taken up by the game...
01:23:01.000And in moments like this, like Red Dead, there's moments where you're in like the desert or where you're in like a rainstorm up in the mountains.
01:24:23.000You get really good at the movement with the keys, and you get really good with your cursor, and you know how to jump, and every time you hit the spacebar, you're jumping.
01:25:13.000I would imagine if you're controlling a 21-inch space and you are very accustomed to moving your cursor around a 21-inch space with your mouse, right?
01:29:42.000When you play online games, you'll go against people, and you're like, oh, you're at a different level.
01:29:46.000You don't have the time to compete with some autistic dude who's on ADHD medication, who doesn't have a job, who gets a government check, and he's just rocking people online.
01:29:59.000It's like that South Park where they play World of Warcraft, and their villain is that guy that's like...
01:31:55.000When you rocket jump, so if you are fully armored, so if you have 200 armor, you can point your rocket down at the ground and jump at the same time as you pull the trigger and you go flying.
01:32:08.000So you can rocket launch and rocket jump up to like a platform and then hide.
01:32:14.000And then just start picking bitches apart.
01:32:17.000And so everybody that walks in, you got the railgun, you got your cursor pointed right at the doorway, and every time people run in the doorway, boom!
01:33:27.000So they know when things are spawning.
01:33:29.000And some of them even have prompts that tell them, you know, health spawns in 30 seconds.
01:33:34.000So every time they pass over armor, armor respawns.
01:33:36.000And they have it all listed on the map, and they're running around.
01:33:39.000And the guys would have these aim bots, and they could never miss.
01:33:43.000So they would kill you, and every time they'd kill you, they would be fully armored, they'd have all the weapons, and then they'd know exactly where you were gonna be, and then they would kill you again, and they'd kill you again, and kill you again, and you couldn't, every now and then they would die, and they would respawn, and they would kill you again, because they couldn't miss.
01:38:49.000I want to make sure this is true, because someone told me that it's a terrifying game that you can play on VR that's based on the first alien game.
01:39:06.000Do you think we see in the future, do you think we see things like heart attacks and shit from VR, or is it already happening?
01:39:12.000Like, people getting so scared that it hurts them in real life.
01:39:17.000Well, I think if you're really vulnerable and your heart gets jacked up to like 190 beats a minute, especially if you have one of those guys on those omnidirectional treadmills they have now.
01:40:19.000And then you play one of these gun games that's like really intensive, and you get that, and you're walking around with all that weight on?
01:44:01.000But it's not the thing that's embedded in you that's causing the problem as much as it is the part of it that's infected and now it's got a different thing?
01:44:09.000That's what that is, where it's like something happened to them and instead of them solving it and pulling that out, that splinter that got infected, the infection built on it and now you're dealing with six things on top of the actual problem.
01:44:43.000A certain amount of you exaggerating an experience and saying that you were threatened, a certain amount of that seems to be tolerated.
01:44:54.000Where you don't want to question because then it appears that you're insensitive and you go, well, you know, and then there were so many people that stood up for that guy and like made these tweets about...
01:45:05.000Yeah, but it's also like we don't have any information.
01:45:07.000You don't have any information and you're acting on this, but...
01:45:10.000The story seems so implausible Nobody wanted to say it.
01:45:15.000Nobody wanted to say I think he made that up.
01:45:16.000I immediately thought of When that happened, and the reaction a couple weeks later, I immediately thought of Ben Stiller in The Cable Guy, when they're doing the Menendez Brothers spoof, and they do the phone call, and he goes, I don't know who it was,
01:49:04.000And now he's stuck in that thing where you're like, so you're saying something that we all, that the guys involved said that you were full of shit.
01:50:46.000What if she goes to prison to write a book?
01:50:50.000Because they say the only way that this information is going to get out is if we have you locked up and we protect you and you write a book.
01:50:58.000Dude, her information of Rolodex, of the things that have happened, can destroy people that are as powerful as our top businesses.
01:51:57.000Yeah, the guy who used to be on CNN. Yes.
01:51:59.000News Nation's Cuomo that Maxwell has nothing to say about the impending release of names, but that the former socialite takes issue with the fact that the only person facing consequences over the rampant sex trafficking of young girls is a woman.
01:52:12.000I don't think she has anything to talk about except maybe that if you look at this crime, this overall crime, it's all about men abusing women for a long period of time.
01:52:22.000And it's only one person in jail, a woman.
01:53:39.000Navalny was a Russian opposition leader, lawyer, anti-corruption activist, and political prisoner.
01:53:43.000He organized anti-government demonstrations and ran for office to advocate reforms against corruption in Russia and against President Vladimir Putin and his government.
01:53:52.000So what was the controversy about him, though?
01:54:49.000I mean, I don't know what So he's basically an anti-Putin activist, Russian opposition figure, anti-corruption activist, was unlawfully detained, has now been in prison for 11 years and six months.
01:55:01.000He's still in prison and suffers continual ill treatment, including constant surveillance and psychological pressure.
01:55:07.000He must be freed immediately and unconditionally.
01:56:20.000There's a darker side to him, some say.
01:56:22.000That's such a fucking, they're pushing that out there to be like, hey.
01:56:26.000It's controversial views on Muslims in the caucus, Georgians, and Central Asian migrants in Russia.
01:56:33.000Immigrants from Central Asia bring in drugs to Russia, Navalny said in an interview with 2012, defending what he described as a realist visa requirement for wonderful people from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
01:56:47.000While he was reflected upon some of these past remarks, they frequently resurface, causing some to question if Navalny is what many in the Western world think he is.
01:56:57.000Navalny's controversial statements stem from his political origins in the nationalist movement, according to McGinn.
01:57:04.000There will be a feel-good A24 movie about this guy in two years.
01:57:09.000He used to attend the Russian March, a very far-right nationalist group generally behind the slogan, Russia for ethnic Russians.
01:57:17.000Anybody who expects Navalny to be an ideal Western liberal Democrat has been mistaken, she tells Euronews.
01:57:24.000His ultra-nationalistic sentiment was prominent in a video dating back some 17 years filled with xenophobic comments.
01:57:31.000Do you think this is like his getting like when comics, when they bring up old clips of comics on podcasts?
01:57:36.000Like he was like, aw, that was 12 years ago.
01:57:42.000He said, everything in our way should be carefully but decisively removed through deportation, Navalny said in a video dressed as a dentist, comparing immigrants to dental cavities.
01:59:24.000Oliver Stone interview and the Tucker interview, he really loves to be like, you guys aren't so great.
01:59:32.000You know when you fight with your girl and she'll bring up something you did and you get defensive, so you just go like, yeah, but what's up with you fucking...
02:00:28.000Never would this story's plight the world unfurled before our eyes, a pure demise of nations sitting peaceful under a night sky.
02:00:37.000If I was your mother, the world would have been warm.
02:00:40.000So much laughter and joy and nothing would harm.
02:00:44.000I can't imagine the stain, the soul-stealing pain that the little boy you must have seen and believed and the formulation of thought This is so self-gratuitous.
02:03:28.000But I've had this done to me by people who are good at judo, and it's shocking how easy they can throw you around.
02:03:33.000Yeah, because when he kicks his feet out.
02:03:34.000All he's doing is, it seems a lot harder than it is.
02:03:37.000You're just getting the guy, you're bouncing together, you're timing the bounce, and you're sweeping him and pulling at the same time, and you just go flying.
02:03:44.000Yeah, it's like when you were little, and you'd be walking in front of one of your friends, and they'd kick your foot into the other one, and you'd go like, fuck you.
02:07:20.000Well, he's a guy where he's like, you know, you look at people that have been through war and that kind of shit, they're just like, they're calloused to it.
02:07:28.000If I was your mother, I would have taken you in a joyous bathing light of...
02:07:33.000I would have had you suckle on my teat until you were 12 years old.
02:07:36.000The madre earth and spirits of the sky.
02:07:44.000I love watching videos of guys of older guys like Don Frye was one of my favorite guys when I was young to watching like pride and shit Yeah, and then he's like just a true Arizona badass So you see him now as the old man and you're like you could still fuck shit up but Recently retired.
02:07:59.000I was watching a interview with Donald Cerrone who I love.
02:08:29.000And he was on this podcast talking about how he got like this idiot like ran up on him and he just head kicked him and he was fucking done.
02:08:36.000And he was explaining like the situation.
02:08:44.000Found my genre of my favorite thing which are people fucking around with older badasses and finding out this wasn't even he was older But I mean like active Cerrone is a bad like an old now Don't run up on the guy like I don't run up on him any time in his life But this was like years ago.
02:09:01.000This is when he was active in yeah Yeah, he was active.
02:09:04.000That's what a dumb thing these guys that think that they can you can beat a trained fighter They didn't know he's a trained fighter.
02:10:43.000And his manager was like, oh, I can get you tickets to the fight that's at Barclay.
02:10:46.000Stipe wasn't on it, but Cerrone was, and I'm a huge Cerrone guy.
02:10:49.000And I went with Luis J. Gomez, and we sat there, and I got so excited when Donald Cerrone knocked the dude out that Luis was like, as a friend, it bothers me how much you like this guy.
02:15:23.000But the difference is, like, the people of Russia are doing way better than the people of North Korea.
02:15:30.000Well, people from North Korea, they, like, find out about stuff on the outside, like, when they get out, and they're like, what the fuck, dude?
02:15:36.000I'd be so mad if you're North Korean and you get out and you go, like...
02:16:19.000Can we also admit, though, when Kim Jong-il died, and they did this, It is hilarious that you're that powerful, that you're like, cry harder, motherfucker.
02:19:18.000I would guess they would want this to be like a Harlem Globetrotters game, where they want these players that they know to just beat the shit out of their...
02:19:25.000Yo, they let Robin play with lip rings.
02:21:28.000I think Celebrity Rehab, the one I'm thinking of, is the first season where you saw people melting down in ways that you're like, what the fuck?
02:21:35.000First of all, it's the worst thing you could ever do to someone who's in the middle of a recovery.
02:21:40.000It's to broadcast them and all their insecurities to the world and have people shit on each other and insult each other.
02:21:47.000Dr. Drew hosted that show and it led to one of my favorite Stanhope bits where he said, uh, Dr. Drew is to science.
02:21:56.000I forget what it was, but he was like talking about, he's like, that'd be like being an OBGYN that only specializes in hairless, stinkless Norwegian pussy.
02:22:05.000Like the way that Stanhope described it, I was like, it's so funny.
02:23:40.000He had songs on Empire that were making it big, and then that's where I was looking to around 2018, and they started not charting anymore, and then 2019 is when...
02:27:08.000He said, he goes, I think that, he said, between Biden and Putin, Putin said, without hesitation, the current U.S. president was more experienced, predictable, an old-school politician, but added, we will work with any U.S. president who the American people have confidence in.
02:28:58.000It's like knowing how to drive an old car.
02:29:01.000You're like, I can fucking have one of these.
02:29:03.000They were saying that those Chinese weather balloons, those flying over things, those big balloons, that they were doing that when Trump was around, but they didn't tell Trump.
02:33:26.000Dude, I used to go to this place in Denver when I was a kid called Big Fun, and it was like a Discovery Zone kind of thing, but they had these rubber straps.
02:33:34.000It was called the spider web, and it was these tight, thick, like that wide, that thick, across, but like dozens of them all the way up, and you would climb through...
02:38:41.000What I love is in sports where someone calls something out in the middle of a play.
02:38:47.000There's two examples in the NFL that I know where Peyton Manning gets mad at his tackle for missing a block and he's running when he's on the Colts and you can hear him go, God damn it!
02:38:58.000He yells the guy's name in the middle of the play, and still has the play done, but he in the middle of the play goes, like, you fucked up, and screams it out.
02:39:06.000One of the best versions of that, Max Holloway was fighting Brian Ortega, and he told Brian Ortega, you gotta block like this, and he puts his hand up to help him block.
02:39:17.000In the middle of beating his ass, he takes his hand, he goes, put your hand right here.
02:42:34.000And he's very good on the ground and he's got ridiculous one-punch power.
02:42:39.000And that's also a welterweight fight where Kevin, I think, is at his most dangerous.
02:42:43.000At 170, Kevin is so fucking dangerous.
02:42:45.000Do you do like spinning back elbows and shit?
02:42:49.000Like I know Michael Page from watching like his highlights.
02:42:51.000If you go to Michael Page, Michael Venom Page before he was ever an MMA fighter was a high-level karate point fighter.
02:42:58.000And I was always wondering like when are those guys going to make their way into MMA? Because we had this one guy Raymond Daniels who was also an opponent of Michael Venom Page in a karate thing.
02:43:13.000But there's a video you can watch of that of them competing in a karate tournament.
02:43:16.000But those guys, those high-level karate guys, can move in and out very fast.
02:43:23.000Is that what their superpower, you would say, is?
02:45:28.000And Randy Couture's like, well, I'm not going to stand with you.
02:45:31.000There was like you can't wrestle at all Randy ankle victim.
02:45:34.000Yeah, which is like embarrassing He just dropped down and grab his angle like sit your ass down.
02:45:39.000Yeah, dude He didn't even let him have a shot.
02:45:41.000That was fun to watch Randy was actually nice to him.
02:45:43.000He could have tortured him He could have like proven a point and just stayed on him and punched him in the face as long as he wanted to That's why I liked Khabib because Khabib just did that to the top guys that could wrestle Guys that could wrestle were like...
02:45:56.000It was like watching someone fight a shark and get brought into the water.
02:50:09.000When you're watching this cage side and you see a guy like Mighty Mouse do some wild shit, are you just like, as a fan of the sport, You're calling it, but you're just like, does it take your brain a little bit to process?
02:50:26.000It's like, I know how hard it is to move that way, so when I see a dude who can move the way he does, I'm like, that is so fucking beautiful.
02:50:34.000So for someone who does martial arts...
02:51:36.000You gotta look at them when they're in this window of time, and sometimes it's just a few years, where they're accomplishing things in a way that is so extraordinary, you go, I've never seen anybody better.
02:51:49.000And that's how I feel about Mighty Mouse when he was in his prime.
02:51:52.000And then the other one that's like that is Anderson Silva.
02:51:56.000Anderson Silva when he was in his prime.
02:51:58.000All the defenses, the title defenses, that run.
02:52:01.000It was the way he was doing it too, man.
02:52:02.000It was like he was operating at a different speed than them.
02:52:06.000He was processing things with a 2024 computer and they were using some Windows 95. Yeah, the way he would dodge punches all the time.
02:52:49.000Dude, I got robbed when I lived in Tucson, because I lived with a weed dealer, and I got fucking hogtied, gone on 45 on the head, cleaned out.
02:54:45.000Did I had a banger of a CD booklet that got taken?
02:54:48.000But then that night today, yeah, they're just like not digital I won't own my media, but we went I went to my buddy Sumner's house and I took like probably three and a half close to four grams and I was drunk before I took it oh boy and Mark was sober and he let me in and we watched the first season of the ultimate fighter and Oh,
03:06:04.000So, Shogun American Historical Drama limited series created by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks based on the 1975 novel of the same name by James Clavel.
03:06:15.000The novel was previously adapted into a 1980 limited series.
03:07:10.000And they decided not to kill you and just leave you with no arm.
03:07:12.000But dude, then they shut off contact with the outside world, and then the shogun fell and shit, and everyone was like, yeah, our militaries are advanced by like 100 years now.
03:07:42.000It's a video game about the samurais and the Mongols?
03:07:44.000Yeah, it's about the invasion of Tsushima Island by the Mongols, and you, dude, you learn four different sword styles, and you change your sword styles to play.
03:07:55.000Dude, this game, I've played this game, I want to say, three or four times completely.
03:12:10.000Yeah, but I also level it by, like, alright, if I'm gonna spend 30 minutes writing jokes, then I could play, like, video games for two hours.
03:12:18.000Because I'm high, and what else am I going to fucking do?
03:12:20.000Well, that's good if you give yourself a little reward.
03:12:23.000When I quit drinking, my video game went up.
03:13:13.000But when you're actually Spider-Man, and you're flying around New York City, and then you've got to go fight fucking Venom, you're like, this is unbelievable.
