Comedian Joe Rogan stopped by the Comedy club to promote a special he's coming out with later this year. We talked about how he's been through a lot in his life and what it's like to be a comedian. He also talks about his health problems and how he deals with them. We also talk about the death of Patrice O'Neal and the impact it has had on the way we think about comedy and comedy culture. And we talk about how to eat better in the age of OZimpic. Joe is a comedian, actor, writer, podcaster, and podcaster. He's been in the comedy game for a long time and is one of the funniest people I've ever met. I'm sure you'll agree that he's a great human being and I'm not just talking about his comedy, I'm talking about how much he's grown since he left the stage and how much better he feels about himself now that he s in his late 60s. I hope you enjoy this episode, it was a lot of fun and I hope it makes you think about what you can do to improve your own life! Thank you so much to Joe for coming to town and for coming out to promote his new comedy special. I appreciate it so much, it means a lot to me so much and I can t wait to do it again next year.

00:01:02.000It's weird when you, I'm sure you have this, where a fan comes up to you and they repeat one of your most horrific jokes, you know, like, hey man, those titties ain't...
00:04:37.000You'd have to talk to endurance athletes about that, but essentially they're just taking in a lot of carbohydrates before ultramarathons and things like that.
00:06:26.000So he climbed out, smacked your coffee.
00:06:28.000Yeah, and I spit in his face and then I went down and then he came up again and took his phone out and started to tape me and I was like, you're a fucking pussy, you fucking snitch.
00:06:40.000And I took my chain and I was like, you want to be fucking tough?
00:12:20.000I had a guy come in and explain that on the podcast once.
00:12:23.000He actually ran a clinic at one point in time, and he was explaining how they're just getting you hooked on these other things, and these other things also get you high.
00:12:40.000Some people say it doesn't do that to you.
00:12:42.000Well, I mean, it's like whatever gets you off the thing that's killing you, you know, it's like harm reduction, but eventually you've got to get off that if you want to be, like, totally sober.
00:12:49.000My understanding is that methadone is just as bad, if not worse, for you.
00:13:51.000Could a common painkiller, taken in massive quantities by the way, contributed to Rush Limbaugh's well-known hearing loss?
00:13:59.000Research findings suggest that the radio talk show host apparent addiction to Vicodin could be the culprit behind his mysterious attack of deafness two years ago Doctors over the past several years have reported dozens of cases of Vicodin addicts who become deaf and in some cases only regain their hearing with the help of cochlear implants such as the one Received by Limbaugh.
00:14:21.000It's pretty clear that there's an association, says Dr. Jeffrey Harris, an ear specialist at the University of California San Diego Medical School.
00:14:27.000The ear is sensitive to drugs, and this particular association with Vicodin has become more relevant as people are getting their hands on it as a recreational drug.
00:14:36.000How many did he take at the height of his pilliness?
00:14:40.000Find that because I think it was really nutty.
00:15:03.000But then I had a buddy of mine who was a musician, and he said he would take it and it would really help with his creativity when he's writing songs.
00:18:05.000And it's a pretty serious operation because they have to take a piece of your patella tendon with a chunk of bone from your shin and a chunk of bone from your kneecap and they pull that out and then they put it inside your knee and screw it in place.
00:20:00.000That's a great doc on Netflix that the guys were making all that money just selling like fake, you know, like it was just like anybody, people coming in at Kentucky, like, hey, I got a, I got a bursitis.
00:20:28.000Okay, Mr. Limbaugh and I have maintained from the start that there was no doctor shopping, and when we continue to hold this position, Mr. Black said, I love how he says that just that way.
00:20:39.000Like, he's giving up the fact that he's playing a game.
00:21:23.000And then they would buy them from one doctor and go to another doctor, and they would just get bags of pills, fill their trunk up, and drive to Kentucky.
00:21:30.000Yeah, and it was off 95, so they would just go from Florida up to Philly, Delaware, New York, Baltimore.
00:21:36.000Bro, how many cars made that trip before they started figuring out what was going on?
00:21:40.000And the pharmaceutical drug companies knew it, so they just kept selling it.
00:21:44.000There was some nutty statistic at one point in time.
00:21:48.000Where Florida had like 1,000 times more people who had been dropped than anywhere else in the world.
00:21:56.000I'm making that number up, but it was some nutty number where you're like, what in fucking God's name are you people doing?
00:22:44.000There's a book called Dreamland that talks about the pill crisis and everything and how it started with black tar heroin coming in from Naira, Mexico and everything.
00:22:54.000And there were houses in Ohio that people would line up with stolen goods and trade chainsaws for pills.
00:23:01.000And then they would take those goods from Home Depot and sell them back to make more money to buy pills.
00:26:15.000You know, like there's so many conspiracies about what the real reason why they lied and made up a false attack to get us to go into Vietnam, but almost always it's money.
00:26:29.000There's no way they do anything like that unless someone's making money.
00:26:32.000That's what they did then, that's what they do now.
00:26:34.000Now, if you're making money the legal ways, you know, through like selling weaponry and doing all the stuff that we do, But then you realize that there's all this extra money being made here that you're not getting a piece of.
00:28:59.000You can't go over there and just get drunk and do comedy.
00:29:02.000They will put you in the fucking ground.
00:29:04.000But you know how, like, when you do, like, a town and you always make fun of the other town, like, to get those people on your side, like, hey, I'm in Pittsburgh, what about that, you know, Scranton, am I right?
00:33:20.000But this guy in the strip club, honestly, he really, I hate to fink you out or anything, but he really, like, you know how, like, most guys go and they just kind of sit and observe?
00:35:49.000You have to go in and you have to throw them onto the fucking boat and then you gotta figure out how to get up because the crocodile's gonna hear the splashing.
00:36:10.000Well, down in Florida, down in the Keys, they have so many bull sharks that there's a bunch of videos of guys fishing, and they're just trying to get the fish in as quick as they can because the bull sharks come along and just fuck those fish up.
00:38:17.000I'm not a fishing guy, but I wish I was into that.
00:38:20.000Like, I like all the gear they have to buy.
00:38:21.000I like that when you go into, like, a Dick's and you see, like, that whole wall for, like, you know, the right anglers and all that kind of the lures and all that kind of...
00:41:11.000It starts from 1937. A fisherman's tale from 1937 sparked the researchers' interest in bull sharks upstream after two fishermen caught a five-foot, 84-pound bull shark in Alton, Illinois.
00:41:26.000So that was in 1937. Fifty-eight years later, in 1995, a fisherman near Rush Island, Missouri, caught another bull shark.
00:41:46.000Bull sharks typically live in warm water, in open salt water, but they're one of the few species that can adapt to live in freshwater environments.
00:41:53.000Do they ever have arguments and they go after each other?
00:43:53.000That's a leap of faith, like, because I just did a will, like, and to my parrot, I'd like, you know, it's like, yeah, we're going to do that.
00:47:00.000It was like a horror movie in the 80s about a gator that was living down in the sewers and now he's humongous and he's going to eat somebody.
00:47:31.000They used to think it was all pets, but then they found out that there was a research lab that got hit, that was filled with pythons, that got hit with a hurricane or tornado or some shit.
00:54:54.000Since cicadas will emerge from Maryland to Oklahoma, Illinois to Alabama, clearly trillions of adult cicadas will be present, but not all in the same place at the same time.
01:00:50.000That's like the cellar now in the West Village.
01:00:52.000Like, these people line up to go see a comedy show, and then there's just people costing them for money and singing songs in their face, and then they come in like, what the fuck just happened?
01:01:01.000Do you feel a noticeable change in the city with the immigrant thing?
01:01:46.000Yeah, but can you imagine being like 19 and living, you know, in a terrible place and you're just so poor and you're like, wait, I get to go to a place where I get away with crimes with my boys?
01:02:51.000And the thing that's really freaking people out, especially people in poor cities in this country, is like, where's that fucking help for us?
01:02:57.000You've got these people housed in the Roosevelt, you give them three free meals a day, plus you give them money.
01:03:02.000And they can masturbate wherever they want.
01:03:43.000Well, here's the thing though, for real, it's very dangerous to bring your kids through a fucking migrant stream that's walking into Mexico.
01:03:51.000So are they coming here to work and then send money back?
01:04:04.000And it doesn't mean that you're not compassionate for the people that are doing exactly what I would do if I was living in Ecuador and I didn't have any money, there was no job opportunities, and I knew that I could get into America and I'd get a job, and if I busted my ass, I could make it.
01:04:18.000And they would accept me, and not only accept me, but help me and give me money.
01:04:21.000And you hear from your friends, bro, every time you go across the border, they give you 2,200 bucks.
01:04:26.000So there's guys on the radio, Spanish-speaking radio in San Diego, telling guys how they went back and forth four times in a month.
01:05:28.000So he brought him and his girlfriend and stayed on the couch.
01:05:31.000And after two weeks, the guy wouldn't let the homeowner into his own house, and he had to call the police, which is against their religion.
01:07:16.000It's so crazy that in the name of protecting tenants, which is important, you don't want a shitty landlord, you want to protect tenants, but in the name of protecting tenants, you're basically allowing people to steal people's houses.
01:08:21.000That's like when you go to a friend's house, you have a party, and like that last guy who has nowhere to go, he's like, hey, man, you know, we can play a game.
01:09:04.000That's what happened to that guy who had the Kansas City Chief party, and then the guys go outside, they're like, dude, can't we just hang a little bit longer?
01:09:34.000There's something with, it might have been drugs, it might have just been like, you know, they died somewhere else and he put them out there.
01:09:39.000Well, I think there was some controversy with the guy who called it in.
01:09:43.000Like, they didn't, he didn't do it quick enough.
01:09:59.000As to my last update in January 2022, I don't have access to most recent statistics on the number of people squatting in houses in the U.S. Squatting is often a complex and unreported issue.
01:11:00.000This bitch is in my fucking house, and she's cooking in my fucking kitchen.
01:11:04.000Yeah, but can't you just beat the shit out of them, and then just know you'll be out the next day?
01:11:06.000The problem is that everyone's aware that this is an issue already by then, so now they've got their eye on you, and you can't really just say, this person is in my kitchen, they attacked me.
01:11:52.000Back, I guess that was, like, a Giuliani thing, actually, where they were like, we got these squatters in these buildings, and we want them out.
01:11:58.000You know, like, in order to repurpose the building, they had to get all these people that had already set up power and all kinds of stuff to the buildings.
01:12:05.000So the cops would go in, and then you would just see, like, a rush of, like, skinhead-looking dudes come...
01:12:11.000Flying out through the park, and they would, like, tussle with the cops.
01:12:47.000If it's New York, some lady just, they think this lady got murdered because she went into a house that was her house to clean it up and there were squatters living there and then they fucking killed her and put her in a bag.
01:13:24.000According to public sources, Vattels was killed after she traveled to New York City from Spain to get the apartment ready to be occupied by a family friend.
01:13:33.000It had been vacant for months after the death of her mother.
01:13:36.000Police sources say Vattels didn't know when she went to the apartment that two squatters had been living there.
01:13:40.000And when she arrived, She could be seen on surveillance video coming and going from the apartment.
01:13:46.000Police believe the two squatters returned to the apartment after Vattel's arrived, surprised, and killed her by beating her to death.
01:16:54.000Well, that's what they say now, is that they can see everything at all times, so it's really hard to use tactics where we'll sneak up on them, and then we'll go this way.
01:18:31.000But it's a scary story, because it says for weeks.
01:18:34.000Man, I hate to jinx it, but it's just like, you know, These things you can just buy and that the fact that, you know, luckily no people in this country have used it like the way they're using it, we're really lucky.
01:18:50.000Are we lucky or is it just a matter of time?
01:18:52.000Well, evidently whatever they're doing is like, you know, just think of like New Year's Eve, all those different like gatherings, you know, a game, you know, it could be even like a high school.
01:19:01.000Hey Dave, how about stop giving the enemy ideas?
01:20:09.000That's what I think a lot of this alien shit is.
01:20:12.000Yeah, that's what they're saying now, too.
01:20:14.000A lot of it, I think, is drone technology.
01:20:17.000They won't admit to it, but it's out there.
01:20:20.000To protect operational security, we do not discuss impacts to operations.
01:20:25.000The statement said, we don't discuss our specific force protection measures, but retain the right to protect the installation.
01:20:32.000Langley continues to monitor our airspace and work with local law enforcement and other federal agencies to ensure the safety of base personnel, facilities, and assets.
01:25:42.000Every fucking propulsion system that we know of right now has to have either a fan, like you've got to have a propeller, or you have to have an engine that shoots stuff out the back and makes you go forward.
01:26:14.000I just make it better every year to the point where it's basically a UFO. And if you just think about the unlimited amount of money that they've had, and they've been designing military vehicles and jet engines and fucking, they've been doing that for decades!
01:26:28.000All that time, making one thing that no one knows about better and better and better and better, flying around Area 51. I bet there's a lot of those that people are seeing.
01:26:39.000They're like, oh my god, they're real.
01:26:42.000They're just like, yeah, aliens are real.
01:27:37.000If you look at a species like ours that's this intelligent as the human species, if we got one million years more advanced, One million years more.
01:29:45.000What if the aliens is technology, in terms of how advanced it's gotten in such a short period of time, and then the people using it are just basically drones that are using this exposed technology?
01:29:59.000Well, it's possible that that's the future of life.
01:30:02.000The future of life is we integrate with technology, and that's the only way, because the biological The evolutionary process is really slow, but the technological evolutionary process is really fast, like crazy fast.
01:30:16.000Like you can have a whole new thing in a year, whereas like a whole new species, like God, how does that even happen?
01:31:23.000But the fact that we're not built for outer space and yet we keep craving this whole thing, when you're right, it should be some kind of techno hybrid of a human, something that would be able to do that, you know?
01:31:34.000Yeah, and it'll probably, if you become a machine instead of a person, you don't have to worry about being crushed by gravity, because you'll have a carbon fiber hull, and all your orgasms will happen from an app, and then you'll be able to- I volunteer.
01:31:49.000Radiation, all that stuff, because space is a killer.
01:33:31.000So, the reason why I did that is I'm putting these plates away in this rack and you'll dump garbage on the table and say, please clean that up.
01:38:23.000You've got homeless, crazy fentanyl zombies that are just trying to smash everything.
01:38:28.000People leave their fucking windows rolled down and their keys...
01:38:32.000In Canada, they're telling them to leave their keys outside their foyer.
01:38:36.000They're telling them to leave your keys near the door so that people don't have to roam through your house if they're trying to steal your car.
01:43:06.000So it was like a cool story about, like, just as we went from, like, you know, calling someone on a landline to, like, a cell phone and that you were ahead of the game.
01:48:48.000There's so many jobs that are going to vanish over the next five years.
01:48:51.000But it's also like, it's such a rude, cruel thing to do to an 18-year-old kid that has no fucking idea what they want to do for their lives.
01:49:41.000When you're young, you have that window where you can take wild chances from 18 to 24, 25. Once you're 25, everybody's like, hey, get your fucking shit together.
01:49:52.000Maybe even earlier than that if you're in the Northeast.
01:49:54.000But if you're already in a job and you're working eight hours a day, you're fucking tired.
01:50:00.000The odds that you're going to quit that and stop making money and go to school, those aren't so high.
01:50:05.000I think it's harder on, you know, not to be the old guy, but like this generation is taught that they're exceptional and that everything they do is like important.
01:50:15.000Whereas I think when I was growing up, it was like, no, nothing you do is really that important and that you're also going to have to like kind of work your way up in something.
01:51:47.000My friend's daughter took her phone and recorded her, five years old, and into the camera, she just kept going, don't forget to like and subscribe.
01:52:14.000Well, just like that video we watched with the drone.
01:52:17.000Psychically, we're not supposed to see that.
01:52:20.000Well, you're definitely not supposed to see people get blown to pieces instantaneously.
01:52:22.000Well, yeah, but even just now, like, yes, these things happen, but we shouldn't be aware of it and inundated with it every single day and every single second.
01:52:31.000Right, but that's the only way you find out about it, to put pressure on people to stop it.
01:52:35.000Because if it doesn't leak like Edward Snowden doesn't put it out there and a bunch of people don't retweet it and get outraged by it...
01:52:40.000Then it doesn't put pressure on the politicians.
01:54:40.000I'd like to see all sides of something, but not to make it political or anything, I think a lot of these people just decide to, you know what, it's not for me.
01:56:40.000Some of these people that are in these...
01:56:42.000Protest they haven't thought shit out at all.
01:56:44.000So they get confronted by Influencers right and they ask them like real simple questions to get them riled up Like what do you think we should do?
01:56:52.000We need to like give it to this country capitalism You don't understand.
01:56:57.000Does it get away from the capitals get away from the capital?
01:57:01.000Yeah, dude, I saw the best thing I went to a rally or like a no a protest and It was it was during the summer of 2020 and you know everyone's like marching and everything and And I wanted to go check it out.
01:57:13.000And this girl was wearing like an ACAB shirt and chanting like, NYPD, racist police!
01:57:22.000And a cop was like, excuse me a minute, you can't stand here.
01:57:25.000And she goes, oh my god, I'm so sorry.
01:57:26.000And then shifted and then started protesting again.
01:58:00.000And then I was in Central Park for one, and I swear to God, this guy had a sign, and this super hot fucking girl went up to him and goes, can I borrow your sign?
01:58:11.000Grabbed it, turned around, took a picture, gave it back, and left.
02:00:13.000That's like hell on earth when they have the family driving, like trying to drive to safety, and you just see all that sparks and all that kind of stuff going on.
02:01:03.000Supposedly they have enough rain now for, like, till 2025 in California.
02:01:08.000They're saying, like, this should help, like, both the consumption and also with all that snow up in Northern California that it should, like...
02:01:16.000Like, if there's a forest fire now, what is that?
02:01:21.000If you have a wildfire like they had where those people died on the highway...
02:01:25.000Those things are so big, you can't even comprehend it.
02:01:28.000It's so hot, there's so much fire, it's literally thousands and thousands of acres around you are just engulfed in flames, and it's moving at like 20 miles an hour.
02:01:41.000There's nothing happening that you're gonna do with water.
02:01:46.000And the other problem with getting a lot of rainfall is you get a lot of growth.
02:01:51.000So you get a lot of grasses, wild grasses grow, and they're very tall.
02:01:55.000And then they dry out because it stops raining.
02:02:45.000They never had anything like that happen there.
02:02:47.000Yeah, but there was also a lot of problems.
02:02:48.000Like, the people didn't want to release the water, because, like, the water is owned, like, there's water rights, and I think the water was going to the rich neighborhoods where the golf courses are, and so there's, like, I'm trying to get the water, and then there's also, like, how the fuck do you have a place that's this windy where you still have exposed power lines?
02:03:32.000The government has the ability, according to the conspiracy theorists, and maybe even some real people, of having these things that they call direct energy weapons.
02:03:57.000So the conspiracy theory is that they lit those houses on fire on purpose with direct energy weapons.
02:04:04.000And if you had a blue house, like with a blue ceiling, that the blue ceiling would somehow reflect against this energy weapon and stop your house from burning.
02:04:36.000By the way, this might have been one of those things that 4chan started for a fuck, just for goofing with people, and then people ran with it.
02:05:13.000The posts typically include a video from a TikTok account that often shares clips of everyday items being burned by a handheld industrial laser in a workshop.
02:05:22.000The clip shows a laser burning yellow, red, and green fabric while a blue swatch is unscathed, with text saying it can be programmed for different wavelengths.
02:08:52.000Some people are out of their fucking minds.
02:08:54.000There's a thing that happened though on Twitter too.
02:08:56.000I feel like this doesn't get talked about sometimes.
02:08:58.000People are trying to get engagement money because if you build up an account that can get engagement, it doesn't matter if it's good engagement, bad engagement, you just got to get the numbers.
02:09:07.000So, people are reposting real old viral videos, confusing people with shitposts like this, just to build up the five million views of these fires.
02:09:16.000But here's the real conspiracy about the fires.
02:09:18.000Like, they haven't done any rebuilding.
02:09:20.000Those people, they weren't allowed to have insurance inspectors go in there.
02:09:32.000If you're getting to this point where you don't have anything, and you can't rebuild your house, and you're fucked, and then they come along and offer you a payment or something, or you get foreclosed on because you haven't paid your mortgage,
02:09:47.000and then the banks own it, and then whoever the fuck is the developer owns it, and then whatever they want to do for the better good of Maui, they build there, and then these people lose everything.
02:10:00.000The way it's being handled is not like you're handling victims of a natural disaster that's horrific and took more lives than any wildfire in the history of this country.
02:10:09.000You're doing it like you are trying to figure out a way to take that from those people.
02:10:15.000You're not doing it like you're trying to support those people and build it back.
02:10:19.000You're doing it like if you know what's really going on, you're not asking for financial aid for these people to deal with their mortgages, and you're not asking for aid from the government in one of those giant Ukraine bills.
02:10:30.000It would take five billion dollars, right?
02:11:06.000Dude, well, fucking FEMA, when Hurricane Katrina hit, I went down to help, like, clean up and rebuild homes and stuff, and they sent us to Foley, Alabama, because they still didn't get relief from Hurricane Ivan, like, years prior.
02:12:47.000That's something that's only the last couple of years.
02:12:49.000But also it's just so scary because it's random.
02:12:51.000At like 8am at a popular station, you know, 3.30 on the work commute.
02:12:56.000Do you know how much that's going to ramp up with people coming in from everywhere around the world and not having any jobs that were promised to them and being angry at everybody and knowing they can get away with crime and already being a murderer?
02:13:46.000No, but it was like one of those, but he went to an asylum, and he just saw people laying in their own filth and just how horrible it was, and that was the beginning of basically the defund these psychiatric hospitals, where through medication they were allowed to release them into society,
02:14:03.000and that's where people are now like, we really could use an asylum right now.
02:14:07.000We need to open them up and then incentivize workers with high pay to have smart people with compassion working there, not just bottom of the barrel.
02:14:47.000They put them in these places, get them off the streets, you know, and now people are looking at it going like, you know, maybe that's a good idea.
02:14:54.000I used to work at a sober living house and one of the kids was like severely autistic and his family would just send him to different rehabs and sober living houses because he was so difficult to deal with and would just say he had a problem with marijuana.
02:15:08.000And then the kid learned how to smoke crack from people in the houses.
02:16:14.000But sober living house, like a halfway house, you have house managers and clinical assistants and everything that basically babysit you and take you.
02:16:23.000And you have to have a job besides working there, right?
02:16:26.000Living there, you have to have a job outside of the house.
02:16:28.000Yeah, you help them get jobs and everything.
02:17:25.000That's what, I know a guy who was in a rehab and that he told me, we were like looking out the window and he told me, he goes, you see all those cars over there?
02:18:07.000Well, that, dude, back to that book Dreamland, it talks about these Mexicans from Naira bringing black tar heroin to America, and how it exploded was because of their customer service.
02:19:05.000Their number one export that they would use all their money, the drug dealers, was Levi's 501 jeans, and they would bring it back to their families, and that would show everyone in Naira, like, wow, we have money now.
02:19:18.000So they would raid these places and the closets would be stacked floor to ceiling with jeans.
02:19:40.000Well, you ever go to, like, Houston, they always have, like, that Tex-Mex cowboy bar, like, where you're not really supposed to go in there.
02:24:20.000That'll be the first place they do it, in Vegas.
02:24:21.000And you know, the weed thing there, too, which is weird that their weed laws are, you can buy it, but you can't really smoke it on the street or in the hotels or anything like that.
02:24:28.000So I don't know where people are actually smoking that weed, but that just added another layer.
02:24:41.000But there is the sad of Vegas, and let's face it, there's some, like, you know, you go to old Vegas and you're, like, walking down those streets.
02:31:55.000You know, they used to have the thing where they, this was like a rite of passage or at a state fair where they had monkeys riding dogs, and they were like, this has got to end now.
02:32:05.000And I'm like, oh, come on, it's hilarious.
02:32:08.000You know, and the monkeys would be like riding them around, they'd have them do a circle.
02:33:05.000So these people are walking down this road in India, and this monkey runs up behind them, dropkicks this one lady, and then runs a little further, and dropkicks this little kid, and then just runs off.
02:34:50.000I think it's in India or Thailand or something like that where it's like just troops of monkeys, hundreds of them stop traffic and they can't do anything.
02:38:25.000I'm looking through the thing, but that's a pretty sneaky thing I never heard.
02:38:28.000For safety, some North American snake charmers stitch close the mouth of the performing snakes, leaving just enough opening for the animal to be able to move its tongue in and out.
02:38:38.000Members of the audience in that region believe the snake's ability to deliver venomous bites comes from its tongue rather than its fangs.
02:38:45.000Snakes subjected to this practice soon die of starvation or mouth infection and must be replaced by freshly caught specimens.
02:39:14.000Methods of dealing with the fangs include expert surgical removal of both of the fangs and replacement fangs which has been done by some Native American and African snake charmers.
02:39:26.000Barring extraordinary measures pulled fangs are replaced within days.
02:39:30.000Fangs may also be plugged with wax or other material.
02:39:35.000Well, so it's like a three-chord Monty, kind of like, you're thinking the guy could really die, nothing could happen to him.
02:39:41.000Right, but see if that's the origin of us, that they used to, Google that, like if they used to give bounties for Cobras, but people took advantage of it.
02:39:57.000But in India, what I'm talking about is the bounty on Cobra thing.
02:40:00.000The real money is in being a snake dentist with all those fang removals.
02:40:05.000I'm not saying that they invented it, but I'm saying that's where it came from, where there were so many of them, and it was associated with India.
02:41:32.000You will see somebody who's like, you know, I'm a squatter with a dog and the poor dog's there all day long, you know, just like laying next to him.
02:41:46.000Yeah, they're just used to that existence.
02:41:48.000But you're really giving money to the dog, hoping that he'll take the money and take care of the dog, but really, we don't know what he's doing.
02:41:54.000A homeless guy without a dog is probably like 60% less effective than a homeless guy with a dog.
