In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe talks about getting lost in the middle of the night in a blizzard in Austin, Texas, and how he and his friends managed to get back to civilization in time to make it to the other side. Joe also talks about the time he got stuck in the snow on a plane and the hero pilot who was able to get it back to the ground and make it through the worst weather in the history of the airline industry. Joe is a comedian, actor, writer, and podcaster from Los Angeles, California. He's been in the entertainment industry for a long time and is a great friend of mine.

00:01:38.000I got stuck in Houston for maybe four or five days because they had, I mean, I want to say a light flurry, and there's a little bit of ice, but Texas doesn't have, like, you know, trucks.
00:01:56.000I was the one flight that was able to get out one time to go to Dallas For a gig and they had like it was three inches of snow But the whole place shuts down and the thank God because the car that picked me up to drive me to the hotel that night If there was other cars in the road dude,
00:02:11.000it would have been ping-ponging Every time he stopped the car would like turn sideways complete Because there was nobody else in the road so it didn't really matter Tell me the sketchiest feeling is not when you're in, like, Edmonton or some shit, and they have to spray that stuff on the wings.
00:02:28.000You're like, yo, like, there's a real...
00:02:30.000Because it's kind of a misty, freezing rain thing going on.
00:02:35.000You're like, there's a real possibility, like, you know, fucking one in a thousand, one in a hundred thousand chance that those fucking things aren't going to go up.
00:02:45.000Because they're frozen stuck, so they have to spray it.
00:02:47.000And what would happen if those things didn't go up?
00:03:50.000I also wish there was, like, a drag queen that would do something heroic so everyone's gotta, like, praise the things of, like, you know, like, cunt lips, thunder tits.
00:04:27.000At the very least, I've met some very nice drag queens, but at the very least, it's an odd choice that might be one that someone's out of their fucking mind chooses.
00:04:44.000We did a thing called Legion of Sketch where we performed dirty comedy to kids in a library, and that was the whole point, is that we were like, you know...
00:04:55.000So somebody wearing makeup, and even though it's not inherently sexual, what they're doing in that moment, it's like their whole thing is meant for a nightclub for adults.
00:05:03.000Well, the people who defend it, they always go, I don't know, have you ever been to one?
00:05:07.000Like, it's just a guy in a dress reading a story.
00:05:42.000It's still a biological man who's dressed up like a woman who's reading things to kids.
00:05:48.000It's like the odds of this being 100% really rational, fascinating person that's going to read books to your kid or someone who's out of their fucking mind.
00:06:06.000Yeah, you would just go like, yeah, it's just not like...
00:06:08.000The whole thing that's interesting about it is you take this fish out of water, and I just don't think you should be experimenting with kids.
00:06:13.000How about guys on parole for violent crimes?
00:08:12.000But also, I just mean, also just for the idea that, like, I'm not, like, even like I said, I don't think a teacher with face tattoos might be the best teacher, like, in the world.
00:08:21.000I just think it's like, as a parent, you'd walk in and be like, is this motherfuckers to you?
00:08:24.000It's possible that they could be, though.
00:08:26.000They might be the best teacher in history.
00:08:27.000They have to be so good in spite of it.
00:08:29.000They have to go so far above and beyond.
00:08:32.000If someone with a face tattoo is an excellent teacher, then let them teach.
00:08:41.000Isn't it funny we have no problem with sleeves?
00:08:43.000Listen, when you talk about fitness, you're probably thinking about the gym, like lifting, running, training, you know, but your gut health is just as important.

00:10:02.000I think there's probably conservative America would still feel a little weird about somebody with a sleeve teaching their little girl in kindergarten.
00:10:08.000As a representative of conservative America here.
00:10:10.000I will say, I was at my daughter's t-ball game, and there was one of the moms, pregnant, and one of her kids is in the t-ball game, and she's in shorts and just has two leg sleeve tattoos.
00:11:21.000Dave speaking at the thing was the funniest when he goes, Donald Trump's gonna come up here, and we're gonna show him that we know how to act and behave, and because we are the right party, and he went up there right away, and he was like, fuck you, you fucking I got off stage and I passed by Angela McArdle,
00:11:38.000who's the chair of the Libertarian Party, and I walked right by her and I went, 0% chance they listen.
00:11:44.000Now let's go watch the shit show because this is going to be ridiculous.
00:17:49.000Even if it's a 14-year-old kid who finds golden tablets that contain the lost work of Jesus and only he can read it because he has a magic rock.
00:17:57.000But if you get enough of those people, they make great neighbors.
00:19:08.000There's a thing going on that's beyond just like you're born and you die.
00:19:13.000And if that thing keeps going when the physical body stops existing, I wouldn't be surprised.
00:19:22.000I think religion is always the funniest to dial back to, though, because all the organized stuff, you were doing the Joe Smith story, finds the tablets or the plates and everything.
00:20:22.000There's enough stories that are similar about the ancient stories of, like, apocalypses, like, the stuff about, like, the epic of Gilgamesh is real similar to Noah and the Ark.
00:20:55.000If there was like someone who came here and didn't make any sense that he was born and he just existed but knew everything and was the son of God and was trying to straighten everybody out and then they kill him.
00:22:21.000Come on, who's not happy with that idea?
00:22:24.000A lot of those miracles, I am studying magic right now for my magic show at Skankfest, and I'm reading a book about magic, but a lot of those miracles that they talk about, it's theorized that they were just like magicians that were like doing tricks for people, and they would get like...
00:22:38.000By the way, Jesus Christ would be a great name for a magician if there was no Jesus Christ.
00:25:30.000A North Dakota man named Michael Herbert Dangler, who was adopted, wanted to change his name to these four numbers which held philosophical and personal significance for him.
00:25:41.000State court rejected his name change request in 1976, saying numbers can't be used, can't be names due to potential confusion.
00:25:50.000But isn't Elon Musk's kid's name like the sounds AOL used to make?
00:25:55.000Well, he calls his son X, but it's like a bunch of other letters, too.
00:26:02.000Bro, imagine if you were that guy's son, but you were a moron.
00:26:07.000I mean, Arnold Schwarzenegger had a son that was a schlub, and then the one he didn't know he had looked just like him and was shredded and working out constantly.
00:26:44.000Tom Hanks has a son that became another Tom, like Hanks person, you know, tucking in his polo shirts on a Sunday, and then one went full wigger.
00:34:19.000Like seeing a cop have to like kind of surrender or have to give up.
00:34:22.000My step-pop when we were younger, we were driving back.
00:34:24.000My step-pop was like a power lifter always.
00:34:27.000Like a big, like a tough guy to me, I always thought.
00:34:30.000And we were driving back from the Philadelphia Zoo one day through Fairmount Park and they had shut it down for what's called the Greek Picnic, which is all the black fraternities like party in this big giant park.
00:34:42.000I love the old Greek guy that shows up for it.
00:34:50.000These guys were coming, and they were just walking all through the street, all these black frat dudes, and it was a traffic jam because they're in the middle of the street, and sitting on the hood of our car and stuff like that.
00:35:02.000And my step-pop just being like, I just see him just sitting there eating it.
00:35:06.000And, like, realizing that I was like, you know, it was almost like that, Joe, why aren't you gonna?
00:36:10.000Dude, being in the middle right there, dude, imagine being in the middle right there, you'd feel like a king.
00:36:14.000Yeah, if your dad beats you, you know, if your dad's an alcoholic who just beats the shit out of you, and the only love you get is from your friends on the streets.
00:36:22.000I was telling these guys yesterday, I saw a video where it's a guy, people filming anything now, it's a guy in Times Square who films himself going up and just talk robbing a guy.
00:37:20.000You don't have to know how crazy you are.
00:37:22.000There's people who film some guy holding their guns and saying, I'm about to go kill so-and-so.
00:37:26.000This happens all the time in New York.
00:37:28.000This happened to a former Miss New York.
00:37:30.000She was in the park, and these two young, maybe Puerto Rican kids or black kids, they come up and be like, hey, we're trying to sell candy for our basketball team, that old scam.
00:37:38.000And then she was like, I don't have any cash.
00:37:40.000They were like, oh, you could send us a Zelle.
00:37:43.000And then they got her to give them their phone, and then they just sent themselves $2,000 on her Zelle and handed her a phone back and just ran away.
00:37:50.000And they just couldn't get the money back.
00:37:54.000I stopped paying attention when you said they may have been black or Puerto Rican, and you said selling candy for their football team or whatever.
00:38:01.000I'm like, it definitely was black or Puerto Rican.
00:38:18.000Thank God we all survived being that age, because you're just so stupid, and yet you're in the body of kind of a grown-up, and you just have, like, all this, you know, just testosterone and fucking being young and not knowing.
00:38:30.000Like, I could so easily, if I lived in Philly, have been at one of those things.
00:38:34.000Oh, I was a handful of decisions away from being at one of those things when I was a kid.
00:38:36.000But does that guy, does the guy, the idiot who keeps jumping over the car and lighting the fire in the middle, is he look back like, is he 55 one day going like, oh yeah, I was a little rap scallion.
00:38:49.000He probably dies under a donut of a souped up SUV. There's a high likelihood that young man's involved in other questionable activities.
00:38:57.000No, maybe, but I'm saying, but there's just those guys, like, I don't know how you, like, grow up out of that that's gonna be something that really nails it.
00:39:05.000I mean, my childhood wasn't crazy far from that.
00:39:08.000I mean, I just wasn't with that crew, but I was doing pretty, like, rancid shit.
00:41:14.000Although I have a feeling it's gonna be better than what I did, but if we find the song sideways or whatever, I bet that guy doesn't kill it.
00:41:21.000It's all that, because that has to come from the era.
00:41:23.000Well, it's the 90s, I guess, so it might not be mumble rap.
00:41:53.000Well, that was the worst rap beef ending ever.
00:41:57.000NWA split up from Ice Cube, and then Dr. Dre left, and then him and his E went and did their own thing, and then that beef ended in an AIDS death.
00:42:08.000You don't see those ones happen anymore.
00:42:09.000Well, those beefs, they would go to actual shooting each other.
00:42:49.000You want to destabilize society, and you get kids, like young kids, who are like we're talking about, dumb, stupid, real easily influenced, don't know what the fuck's going on, and you introduce them to rap music.
00:43:01.000It will most certainly change the way they think about life.
00:43:05.000Yeah, especially, all I'm saying, I don't know enough about that whole conspiracy and stuff, but it is crazy if you're like, if you remember the 80s and 90s, the transformation from hip-hop, from being like the KRS-One, kind of like, there were all these songs about cleaning up their streets and listening to your dad,
00:43:24.000and like, It took this drastic turn from being very positive, pro-black kind of thing, to just all of a sudden being like, we're killing everybody, and fuck bitches.
00:43:36.000It's so funny, because I listen to a lot of hip-hop when I work out, but I'll be listening to the most hardcore shit, and I'm just like, this is nice, let me turn up the treadmill a little bit.
00:43:44.000But if you're in the hood, it's just inspiring you to murder people and rub banks.
00:43:49.000My favorite workout rap is Nas because the lyrics are so good.
00:45:09.000Can I tell you that one of my favorite lyrics that never stood out to me when I was younger, but always makes me laugh and my mind's playing tricks on me, is when Bushwick Bill, you know, he's a midget, and then he sings a song, he goes, this wasn't no ordinary dude.
00:45:53.000I want to say that about Puffy now, like every interview with Puffy, he's just like, just being a little bit weird, but everyone's like, it was right in front of you, bro.
00:45:59.000He was letting us know the whole time.
00:46:02.000When Bill Maher said the N-word on his show, and then the next week had to give his apology to Ice Cube was the funniest thing in the world.
00:51:37.000Seeing the people who get what's happening there versus the performers who don't because He was up there.
00:51:44.000He knows like he's been with that audience.
00:51:46.000I think Tech N9ne also does that so he does all the family chants and stuff DJ Paul and he just gets that crowd gets him going, but they throw shit constantly and they're doing all kinds of crazy shit Rock Kim went up there And by Rakim, by the third song,
00:52:02.000they were throwing shit at the stage, but they're into it, the audience, and then he just kind of stops the song and he goes, hey, I ain't about all that fuck shit throwing stuff, man, so you could throw shit and we could leave, or we could do some rap music, and the crowd was just kind of like...
00:54:04.000Like, I'll go eat the rest of this shit.
00:54:05.000I remember one of his premises, though.
00:54:07.000No, all I remember is the premise, because he goes...
00:54:10.000I said that feel you know that feeling like when you're when it's going rough and you see the light Somehow you even have like another five-minute burst in you because you you know you are done So like let me see what I can do now.
00:54:21.000It's almost like that freeing thing So I gave Vecchio and that kind of like you can wrap it up, dude And he goes uh and I almost saw his energy change and he just goes He's gonna do his last big joke or whatever and he goes uh so hey guys I had a dream last night and the crowd someone in the crowd goes Fuck your dreams!
00:54:40.000And I don't think he finished the bit.
00:54:45.000And then I was supposed to do like 45, of which I did 20 maybe, because I remember saying, where they got mad at me, I asked them why there's a rap festival with no black people.
00:54:55.000And then a black guy stood up, and he was like, how about me?
00:56:22.000Without us doing The Gathering of the Juggalos, we wouldn't have even done Skankfest.
00:56:25.000There's so much influence from The Gathering of the Juggalos, and our audience, there's a lot of crossover.
00:56:30.000In fact, I'll say it now because it's too late for people to even go, but our secret guest is the Insane Clown Posse on Thursday night at the kickoff party.
00:56:44.000I put you guys in the same, like, there's this brackets of like, Kill Tony, Legion of Skanks.
00:56:49.000There's a thing about having these battlegrounds where you go, no, no, no, we're gonna say what we would say if we were fucking around together.
00:56:58.000Like, you could deal with it, or you could not deal with it, but this is how we would, the conversations we're having are exactly like green room conversations.
00:57:06.000Well, yeah, and I feel like now, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like almost like the tide has turned in some weird way, like it's kind of coming back.
00:57:14.000There were like these big moments, I think, like when they tried to cancel you and that didn't work.
00:57:21.000Shane getting SNL, just like big things where it's kind of like, oh, they're almost admitting, okay, we lost the great censor-comedians war.
00:57:30.000But for those years, I think it was good to have Legion of Skanks for a lot of those comics.
00:57:36.000It was just like, well, this is the place where you could still do whatever you want to.
00:57:39.000Yeah, we were just opening the door a little bit to say fucked up shit, and people would come on our show.
00:57:44.000I mean, the amount of times people would be like, dude, should I have not said that on your show after they leave?
00:57:48.000But you guys did a wise thing, too, though, because you were subscription-based, right?
00:57:53.000So for the longest time, if you wanted to find out what you guys were talking about, you had to subscribe.
00:58:00.000But I was always just kind of like playing on that, too, is to kind of keep ourselves a little safe from...
00:58:05.000We have our own platform, and we put out the version on YouTube, we put it out on iTunes, but we play by the rules there.
00:58:10.000So we edit out all the shit you can say on those platforms, and if you want to see the real version the way that we do it, you gotta go subscribe.
00:58:17.000And honestly, with YouTube, the way they started censoring everything, it actually now, because we've been doing this for like eight years, but now more than ever, a platform that we have is more important than ever, because now YouTube is super strict with everything we do.
00:58:30.000We have to bleep things, we have to censor things, there's certain topics we can't even put in the podcast.
00:58:34.000It's so wild that there's only really one YouTube.
00:58:37.000Like if you had to predict at the beginning of the internet when they first started putting videos and like those little media players you'd get with Windows, who the fuck would have ever thought there would only be one streaming site that anybody cares about?
00:58:49.000There's a few other ones, but nobody...
00:58:51.000Google is like the search engine, but there's a whole bunch of other ones.
00:58:57.000Google also bought out YouTube, and it was so smart the way they did it, but yeah, you can't go to...
00:59:03.000No offense to Rumble, When you put the podcast on Rumble, nobody watches it.
00:59:06.000There's a few shows that have big audiences on Rumble.
00:59:15.000Google and YouTube, which are one and the same now, it is amazing how they just became the thing for something that there's no clear reason why there should be one thing.
00:59:27.000But nobody is like, if you say something and you go, is that true?
00:59:31.000The YouTube thing, though, it's like they have it so dialed in with, like, the recommendations and there's constant...
00:59:40.000You could go down rabbit hole after rabbit hole after rabbit hole and never find the end and be endlessly entertained and it encourages you to keep looking at other stuff, keep showing you other stuff constantly.
00:59:51.000And all the power in the universe is that algorithm now.
00:59:57.000A formula has this much power, and if YouTube decides we're going to push this person, they could make someone one of the most influential people in the world.
01:00:46.000Even if they're willing to sign the release, the 19-year-olds don't know what the fuck they're saying.
01:00:52.000One girl was getting dominated on the thing, and I was gonna say that she even says it where I do, even though I'm kind of like, lady, you sound dumb, I felt genuinely bad for her when she goes, He gave her, like, some kind of smarmy, like, you know, and she just kind of goes, uh, she's like,
01:01:09.000Like, I don't talk on microphone a lot, like, I think you do.
01:01:11.000So, like, I'm so, and I was almost like, yeah, dude, like, you're getting, you're like, housing her, and when no one, she says something, and everyone's around and starts booing, and she starts kind of, like, smiling, but it's not a smile of, like, bring it on.
01:01:21.000She's doing the smile of, like, I don't know what to do.
01:01:31.000So did she really understand what she was doing?
01:01:33.000Like, did she really understand what the consequences of that are when you're 19 or whatever age she is?
01:01:38.000Also, if you're an adult and you're arguing with a child, a 19-year-old, a 20-year-old, the goal of it, it should always be with the tone of a like, well, look, let me give you something to consider.
01:01:51.000Like, maybe I get why you feel that way, but like, hey, maybe look at it this way.
01:01:55.000It should never be like, I want to have the crowd go, ah!
01:02:01.000It's almost like when you ever see a comedian who's like a kid, like a 16 or a 15-year-old kid, I just have a hard time ever really enjoying him because I'm going like, you have no idea.
01:02:11.000You've lived absolutely no experiences.
01:02:12.000You have no perspective on the world or anything.
01:02:15.000Maybe you understand how to tell a joke, but it's kind of, yeah.
01:03:23.000He would do this thing where he would just do stand-up out to people.
01:03:26.000He was 19. He would just do stand-up on the street.
01:03:29.000It was the craziest thing you'd ever seen, man.
01:03:32.000If anybody did that now and put it on video, we would all mock them.
01:03:37.000He learned how to do it from Charlie Barnett, and Charlie Barnett was like a famous New York comic that got on Saturday Night Live but couldn't read.
01:03:44.000Couldn't read, so that's how Eddie Murphy got the gig.
01:05:22.000Patrice like it's a it's a complete like Mimic of Patrice's things was watching him go from standing to sitting and seeing that the crowd some of the people That took him in is very like he's like looming over them and saying he's like crazy things Like being like turned off by that to seeing when he was laying back and letting them come into him He could say it like much more people like embrace that they were leaning into him and That makes sense.
01:05:47.000And when you're a big guy, so that's what I just felt as a big presence.
01:05:49.000I was like, I'm going to say all this kind of crazy shit.
01:05:51.000Like, when I'm down over there, it looks like I'm pointing down at them.
01:08:05.000Schumer had a thing one time, she said, I saw her on stage at the Cellar once, and it was about her and her boyfriend meeting Kate Upton, and she walked away to go get something to drink, whatever, and when he came back, her husband said to Amy, she's great,
01:09:06.000The best was like early in it, like in March and April, when they would all take videos from their mansion and be like, we're all in this together.
01:09:20.000Imagine twirling a Tom Collins with your finger on a raft.
01:09:25.000If they look from the future, if we go into apocalyptic times, do you think they'll look back on the shutting down of the country for a year and a half as the trigger that made society begin to collapse?
01:10:52.000I think that always when I watch Tombstone stuff, and Kurt Russell and a girl went off into the woods to go kiss, and I'm like, I bet her armpits smell like shit.
01:12:06.000I'll tell you who's right now nodding their head.
01:12:08.000He goes, yeah, that's why I'm the guy who invented that bag that goes behind the horses' asses.
01:12:12.000Isn't it amazing, though, that the invention of the internal combustion engine and the adoption of cars by everybody and the abandonment of driving horses literally stopped there from being shit air throughout every city street?
01:13:40.000Exactly, but it's like, he was a peaceful guy, but he would just get, like, that was a terrible thing that they used to call us when we were kids.
01:13:47.000But, you know, that's like, that's not that long ago, man.
01:13:53.000Although, like, Basically across the country, even like California, but like all the like areas that you think of as like the hood, it's like Oakland or Compton or Newark or Crown Heights or any of the, those were all white areas up until like the 60s and then like a bunch of black people from the south came up and then all the white people left.
01:14:16.000A lot of it was like pushed by these real estate guys and they would like purposely fuck up a neighborhood to make money off of it.
01:14:23.000And then there was redlining, where, like, they wouldn't sell to black people outside certain lines.
01:14:28.000Like, that was a Baltimore issue, too.
01:14:29.000Well, my grandmother, it was funny, the neighborhood I grew up in, like, was Jewish and black, and then down the next neighborhood was Italian.
01:14:39.000Everyone started, it became predominantly black by the time I moved up to my grandmother.
01:14:43.000Till like two years before she died and was in her nursing home Stayed in that house and did not scare the old people at all It didn't like as it changed around them.
01:14:51.000It didn't scare there be literally people like On her front step like her neighbors like a bunch like teenagers like rapping with a loud stereo And she would just be like oh they're nice Like they call me Miss Jeanette and so whatever my grandma my grandma was delightfully racist I mean,
01:15:27.000Yeah, yeah, and no, they would literally, I would be at the dinner table, and I remember one Thanksgiving, my grandma said, because I was getting picked on by white kids in the neighborhood, because it was like a white trash neighborhood, and I was the only brown kid, and my grandma was like, you know, it's not his fault that he's an N-word.
01:17:29.000And it is, like, the thing that was real interesting about the first one, and I think probably is true about this, although I haven't seen it yet, is that even though he's obviously like a real right-winger, it's not like that's the movie.
01:17:40.000Like, the movie isn't even making a right-wing argument or anything like that.
01:17:51.000He just went up to these, in the first one that I did see, he just went up to these gender experts and just kept asking them what a woman is.
01:20:22.000Misgendering could only be considered a hate crime if it was done in a way that a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive.
01:20:35.000That means, if that's how you're gonna write it out, that a, in quotes, a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive, who the fuck is reasonable?
01:20:44.000How many people do you know that are reasonable?
01:20:48.000They're gonna be able to decide whether or not you should be jailed?
01:20:50.000Well, threatening is a little bit more concrete than abusive.
01:21:18.000According to Adam Tompkins, a law professor and former conservative MSP, asserting that sex is a biological fact or that it is not changed just by virtue of the gender by which someone chooses to identify is not and never can be a hate crime under this legislation.
01:21:35.000Okay, so he's saying that deadnaming someone will never be a crime.
01:21:39.000Well, no, but see, even this is in a kind of a little bit vague way because he's saying asserting that sex is a biological fact.
01:21:46.000So if I just say men are men and women are women, that can't be a crime.
01:21:49.000But can calling an individual, like, could be like, no, you're not a woman, you're a man.
01:21:54.000Could that be considered abusive or whatever?
01:22:34.000If I call somebody an asshole, they're not literally an asshole, right?
01:22:38.000So technically isn't it all just sort of like deciding what words have power and what words don't?
01:22:43.000100% because if you're not swearing and this person's swearing back at you that wants to be called a woman, fuck you, you fucking cocksucker.
01:25:50.000They got to Europe and they went, alright, let's cover our dicks and build some shit.
01:25:54.000I know in the Bible they say it was like, you know, God gave us embarrassment at one point or whatever, but when did we really start getting embarrassed?
01:26:10.000I think it's as soon as we started moving to places where it was cold and then we don't see people's dicks and pussies all day long, it kind of changes your behavior.
01:26:17.000And it probably led to us saying, listen, we need a city and we need a wall.
01:26:22.000We need to figure out how to block all these wild motherfuckers, these bare dick motherfuckers from coming over the hills.
01:26:40.000What was the problem with having a small dick that everyone was like, you need to cover that little dick up?
01:26:45.000Well, you know, the Romans thought that having a big dick was gross.
01:26:49.000The big dick was a sign of a barbarian.
01:26:52.000That's why they had little dicks on all those giant dudes.
01:26:55.000The odds of, if you look at some of Michelangelo's statues, the odds of those guys not having a massive hog are very small.
01:27:03.000That is, a dude built like Francis Ngannou All of those kings and all those like important people they literally commissioned them to build them like they were gods and they would build the statues bigger than the statues of gods, right?
01:27:16.000And you would think that they would give them a big fat hog.
01:27:25.000Some person, just like the same people that are tricking people into thinking your cat can be non-binary, somebody back then tricked them into thinking that big dicks are bad.
01:27:33.000And it's probably some conniving little dick thing.
01:31:37.000But if you think this is a good idea, to let a 50-year-old guy who decides to identify as a woman change in a locker room with teenage girls because he identifies as a teenage girl...
01:33:00.000Okay, this is apparently, that means Wiseheart was swimming with young girls because of how fast or slow a swimmer is, not because she identifies as a young girl.
01:33:12.000But the competition is presumably separated by gender, so there's an issue where Wiseheart is competing against females while being biologically male.
01:34:18.000Like, I still will fuck it up, but I find I'm pretty good at it.
01:34:21.000If they look like a girl, if it's a guy transitioning to a girl, and they look like a girl, I say, I'm pretty good at all the she, but if I fuck it up, look at yourself.
01:34:47.000Especially if you knew the person as one thing at one point in time and then they decided to change their name and gender and you're like...
01:34:54.000This seems like you need a lot of attention.
01:35:12.000The internet is such a bad place for it because everyone has such balls.
01:35:16.000Everyone's a keyboard warrior on the internet.
01:35:17.000Even people that are like, you know, bleeding heart liberals and people that are looking to, you know, they just, they find a place to go and have this voice.
01:35:26.000Back in the day, if you were trans and you were like a man that was dressing up as a woman and you wanted to get mad at somebody about it, you had to get in their fucking face.
01:36:00.000See, that's the problem that women are having, is that these men who decide that they're women are now entering into these places that are just women's only, and women's events and women's things, and they're dominating like men do.
01:36:12.000It was one of the very few points that I've had seeing that other side of it that I didn't for a long time.
01:36:20.000It's like the argument in sports is almost like, oh, they're going to dominate and kick ass and it's basically a guy beating up a girl in this fight and all those things.
01:36:28.000But then it was the scholarship thing.
01:36:29.000I don't know why that never dawned on me before.
01:36:31.000It's like, no, these girls are like, I was going to be the number one recruit out of my school.
01:36:35.000And then this girl came in and made me look like I'm terrible because she's six foot five and, you know, 35 pounds more than me.
01:39:00.000It's making a choice of goth at one point.
01:39:03.000Imagine you had eyeliner tattooed when you were 16. The crazy thing is you don't let them get tattooed, but you will let them get gender-alternating surgery, which is just bananas.
01:39:13.000Is that happening a lot in this country?
01:40:27.000If you're a grown woman and you're 40 years old, you decide to get your boobs removed, who the fuck am I to say you shouldn't be able to do that?
01:40:36.000But if there was a doctor and you asked them to just, like, remove my fully functioning left arm because I identify as a one-armed person or whatever...
01:40:46.000And doctors were like, no, I'm unwilling to perform a surgery on you.
01:40:50.000Well, I mean, they do jobs, they do boob jobs, they do so many elective surgeries that they already do.
01:40:55.000Well, there's an elective preventative surgery that a lot of women do if they think they have that gene for breast cancer.
01:41:02.000Okay, Steve-O was supposed to level, he said, but the person in the supermarket spoke to Steve-O about the level of oppression that the trans people face in a pretty heartbreaking way, which made him realize, wow, maybe it's not all fun and games, after this he feared a stunt would seem like an exercise in celebrating violence against trans people.
01:41:24.000I thought it was just, this is insane.
01:41:26.000I'll tell you what, I have a feeling he was like, I don't want to do this, but then you can really get out of it by doing, making a nice speech like that's pretty great.
01:41:32.000That would be a good move, because otherwise you're going to ruin your tits forever.
01:41:35.000And then you'd have to go under another time to get them removed, and then you'd always have scars on your tits, and you're 50. When someone you're afraid to fight says they're going to fight you after school, and you go, Just what's that when we break the cycle of violence?
01:41:50.000He's gonna dress up and go to a bike around I guess that was part of it.
01:41:52.000Oh You get he thought it would get a crazy reaction out of a motorcycle riders who were checking me out before realizing who he was I would have considered to be better footage if I was to be beaten up at the motorcycle rally said you know what but the thing is like you could get fake tits put on you by Prosthetic people the same people that did like the penguin you ever see what's his name?
01:43:19.000Probably not, but some people just don't want to be around.
01:43:21.000Well, there was that, like, Pain Olympics thing back in the day where the guys would mutilate their cocks, and you're like, what are you- I mean, you only got one shot to slice your dick in half.
01:45:22.000Jamie, the PowerPoint presentation, please.
01:45:27.000It is so funny coming into this room and thinking of all the things I've watched that are made such, like, whether it be the Cat Williams thing or fucking, I mean, that was wild.
01:49:13.000Well, I was on the episode after, the first time you had him on, and the episode with him was just insane.
01:49:20.000It was like the biggest thing on the internet, and almost 100% of the comments on my episode, the next one, were, We want more Terrence Howard!
01:49:46.000Yeah, it's fun to hear people like come up with these wacky theories and is that like his but he has some great ideas man and one of them is the idea that all the planets are coming from like stuff that's jettisoned off the Sun and Like his theory about the creation of solar systems is very bizarre.
01:50:32.000When a planet gets to a certain distance, these hominids start figuring out things, and figuring out tools, and engines, and civilization, and agriculture, and then electronics.
01:50:42.000And then they have to get to a point where they realize, like...
01:50:44.000This planet keeps moving away from the sun.
01:51:23.000Hydrogen plus nitrogen makes everything fly.
01:51:25.000He does that thing where, especially because most of us aren't people who even think about this stuff, so then when he's saying it, like when he was saying the whole thing when he was on with you about how the periodic table shouldn't be squares, it should be circle, and he had like a really good argument for it.
01:51:38.000And I remember just being like, that does sound really impressive.
01:51:42.000Well, that's what the thing is then like when you see someone like Eric Weinstein go like oh, yeah He's got a good point about this.
01:51:50.000All right He's fucking genius man Terrence Howard is fucking genius He's just sometimes guys are too smart for everybody around them and they just get off on the wrong track Yeah And if you're used to being the smartest guy in the room, and then all of a sudden you're talking to a guy who's,
01:52:05.000like, spooky smart, it's, you know, it's a little unsettling.
01:52:08.000It's like, you know, a guy who tells you he's a comic.
01:52:10.000You know, he's telling everybody he's a comic.
01:52:54.000He invented this gigantic skimmer that's been scooping stuff off the ocean, and then they turn the plastic into sunglasses and shit, which will eventually find their way back in the ocean.
01:53:13.000Like, spooky smart kid just said, this is what I want to dedicate my life to.
01:53:16.000So if you get a video of how they do it, it's pretty wild.
01:53:19.000But they've already cleaned up a significant amount, and they have this proposal to make and scale the thing up and make it huge, and they think they can clean up the whole garbage patch within the next decade or so.
01:54:13.000So this is just all sitting in the ocean.
01:54:15.000Yeah, so he scoops all this stuff out with each run of this, and this is just, you know, one haul.
01:54:20.000And they just continue to do this, and then they crane it and pack it and turn it into different objects and stuff, and you can buy that stuff.
01:54:48.000Singapore takes all of their garbage, they pick it up like multiple times, they have this insane facility where they sort it out, they find out what's plastic, what's this, what's that.
01:54:59.000They use the plastic and they figure out some way to use it to To make power, to generate power by burning it, and they have this insane filtration system that stops it from polluting the air, and then they take it and they grind a lot of this stuff down,
01:55:15.000and they use it to make roads with it, and they recycle everything.
01:55:57.000They have this insanely efficient way of taking the plastic and re-utilizing it and using it to fill streets and pave roads and build things.
01:57:15.000And then again, they use it for all kinds of stuff, but the point is they utilize all the trash, and that's what we're supposed to be doing.
01:57:21.000But there's a bunch of knuckleheads, the same knuckleheads that are in charge of the homeless, and the homelessness just keeps growing, and we need more funds to deal with this issue that we can't deal with.
01:57:35.000If you had private companies that were incentivized to collect all the plastic and they could take that plastic and use it for all kinds of things...
01:57:55.000We're not willing to give the private sector access to garbage so much So much that we'll let them pretend they're recycling and just stick stuff in the ground that's plastic because it's not cost effective to turn it into things.
01:58:11.000Can sanitation be one of the last mafia run businesses?
01:58:15.000Well, it's run by a section of the government, right?
01:58:17.000But it's like, if you were competing against Singapore, you would lose.
01:58:23.000If like one city was run by Singapore, like Chicago was run by Singapore, but Detroit was run by people who do it right now.
01:58:31.000And you had to figure out which way is better for the city, which way looks better, which way is more efficient, which way actually creates less overall waste because you just recycle it and reuse it, and it actually works as an asset and a commodity.
01:58:47.000If somebody could do it, you could do it.
01:58:50.000But the problem is there's no fucking incentives.
01:58:52.000There's probably so much infrastructure within all of these.
01:58:54.000It's just been however many years that we've been having this system of sanitation that it's like to try to change that in any sort of abrupt way is insane.
01:59:43.000Yeah, there's like so much fucked up and how we do things and not course correcting.
01:59:48.000But I mean is it so with the recycling thing is it just designed to fine us for not recycling and create more revenue streams?
01:59:55.000I think initially they had this idea that that's what they were gonna do that they were gonna recycle things and they do recycle bottles and they do recycle cans because it's cost-effective.
02:00:03.000The problem with plastic it's not cost-effective to recycle so 90% of it or something in the range of that gets thrown in the ground they just put it in the dirt and Which is the fucking worst.
02:00:14.000Like, why are you making me separate garbage?
02:00:23.000I gave up on your little bullshit charade.
02:00:25.000I'm not going to be a part of this if I know you're not doing it.
02:00:27.000Well, I see there's like a rule follow for a while.
02:00:30.000People, it's so funny, I just kind of see the results, but I don't know what the actual fight is.
02:00:35.000Sometimes in New York, there's plastic bags everywhere, and then one time they'll tell you, he goes, no, they're completely illegal now, plastic.
02:00:43.000And then a month later, there is plastic bags.
02:00:46.000In New York, well, during the pandemic, they made that law maybe six months before the pandemic, and they were like, no more plastic bags, only paper.
02:00:56.000And then the pandemic hit, and they were like, all right, we need to figure out priorities here.
02:01:00.000And then they started using plastic bags again.
02:01:01.000But in New Jersey, when I go to ShopRite, I have to pay for new reusable bags every time.
02:02:29.000Sure it would be cheaper, if you had the infrastructure, because you could re...
02:02:33.000Like, say if you have an acre of trees and you chop them down, it's gonna be fucking years before you can chop down the new ones that you plant afterwards.
02:03:02.000If we had true freedom in terms of use the best plants to do stuff, that would be one of the number one – forget about the weed argument.
02:05:20.000Right now it's theoretical, but if you think about what they're going to be able to do medically just in the next decade or two, especially with the AI stuff that's coming off.
02:06:24.000Just have you especially if you're the first human with it like if you get to be the first one who's got armor like for real how the fuck did a turtle become a turtle?
02:06:36.000I think it was a rat found him in the sewers Let's see I've won him at a carnival But think of all the animals that are so vulnerable, and this one motherfucker goes, you know what?
02:07:21.000They're going to cover Jason Bourne with Bulletproof Skin first, and they're going to say, Jesus Christ, that's Jason Bourne with Bulletproof Skin.
02:09:47.000Hey, Jamie, can you stop making us look like assholes at every chance?
02:09:51.000Pretty odd thing that tells me I was wrong from front to back.
02:09:53.000There is, however, little historical basis.
02:09:56.000No primary source can be found containing the statement.
02:09:58.000The earliest mention of it in relation to the Mongols comes from Michael Proudin's 1934 The Shingis Khan Der Sturm Aus Eisen Proudin, did I get that right?
02:10:11.000Eager to give Mongols every technological edge over their foes, appears to have assumed the Mongols as a warrior race, would only have worn silk for military purposes.
02:10:20.000But is there any historical depictions of silk stopping arrows?
02:10:28.000Maybe the Mongols didn't do it, or maybe it was like a theory.
02:10:31.000The AI from Google says that they wore silk underclothes to help prevent blood loss from arrows, and that they had armor that was sewn together with silk, but there was some sort of plates.
02:13:39.000I mean, that seems like that could kill somebody.
02:13:43.000That doesn't seem like, even with armor on, I don't believe that you can be okay from getting hit like that in the head.
02:13:48.000Well, also, all the shit from the NFL is like, the helmet doesn't really matter, because when it's cracking against your head and you're rattling around, it's still not great.
02:13:58.000How good could that helmet be where you would let a dude with a shield and an iron fucking sleeve on slam down on your head over and over and over again?
02:14:39.000If you allow these guys to have no armor, dudes would sign up.
02:14:42.000If you decided you're going to have a full sword fight version of this with no armor, guys would show up with a fucking bikini on, ready to slice you up.
02:14:53.000If we decided one day, if some crazy country, some fucking warlord, dictator type dude decided to have actual sword fights with no armor on, dudes would do it.
02:15:04.000There's enough psychotic men out there that will sign up for that.
02:15:34.000Yeah, the sound like seizing up and shit.
02:15:36.000I was listening to Howard Stern the other day It was an old one where they were talking the people that were good old days the PA the people that were trying to get on Like that the one-way trip to Mars they were gonna try to do it was from years like 2012 and they said it wasn't gonna go until 2020 some which I don't think it ever end up happening But like like there was they said it was thousands of people We're trying to get on that mission.
02:17:23.000They just thought they were slick and they're gonna make it across and it was a particularly cold winter and the ice never thawed in that area and they just got stuck there.
02:17:32.000They just got stuck and then the ice developed all around them and they were there for years.
02:17:36.000I mean, that's like a thing of survival, which I understand, but you see people that go to like, what's the big thing?
02:17:41.000Fish concert and start to meet each other.
02:19:34.000I can't believe how many people agree to do death sentences, but then there's something like the submersible thing that was just like, everyone was like cheersing champagne, like this is the best, and then it just ends immediately.
02:20:06.000Well, it's probably you realize you could do something very difficult, which a lot of people have a desire to do, and it's also a bragging right for a lot of dickheads.
02:20:14.000There's a lot of dickheads, I want to tell you.
02:20:25.000Some people, they just want to fucking challenge themselves, though, in some insane way where they might die.
02:20:29.000I think it's when you don't have kids.
02:20:30.000Any of those things, like skydiving, I always wanted to skydive, and I'm terrified of heights, but as soon as I had a kid, I was like, I'm not jumping out of a plane.
02:20:38.000I'm the same unnecessary risk, and I said now as my daughter's older, too, having that thing where it's like, now she'd have to be like...
02:22:28.000Yeah, he was like, dude, this is actually a real UFO? We actually went to Mars and found a miniature UFO. Oh, isn't this like a Tyrannosaurus windpipe or something?
02:22:36.000I don't even think I'm wrong about that.
02:28:54.000Once you get the dick bone, there's no more need for civilization.
02:28:57.000No, I think civilization collapses and then the re-emergence of the dick bone becomes a necessity because you have to fuck very quickly because you're getting eaten by animals.
02:32:09.000I think there's been four different ones that they've caught.
02:32:13.000I don't know how my algorithm got this, but it was like if you ever get attacked by, it must have been a crocodile, maybe it was an alligator, but they told you what to do.
02:32:49.000I might be able to tickle a fucking alligator.
02:32:51.000My friend Jim Shockey got sent to Africa to hunt them because they were killing these people in this village.
02:32:56.000Everybody in the village was like missing a hand.
02:32:58.000They all had like bites taken out of them.
02:33:00.000These crocodiles were like targeting these people like they were food.
02:33:02.000And so they brought in this professional hunter, this guy who's a friend of mine, Jim Shockey, and he went to Africa and shot these crocodiles.
02:33:09.000While he was there, one of the ladies got taken.
02:33:12.000One of the ladies was washing clothes in the river and they just fucking snatched out.
02:33:17.000Maybe don't wash clothes in the river.
02:33:20.000They develop like a system where they stick logs in the ground in like this circular area because they think the crocodiles can't come through it.
02:33:27.000But I think the crocodiles are figuring out how to go on the ground when everyone's sleeping and slip right into that and wait.
02:33:34.000Don't lions do that shit in Africa, too?
02:35:44.000Some ducks are called diver ducks, and those are the least appetizing because diver ducks go all the way down to the bottom of where the ground is, the bottom of the lake, and they eat all the algae and all the bullshit and anything that's down there.
02:37:58.000And there's like certain fish that like they eat, or I guess the bigger the fish were, like they eat like all the algae and stuff off the reef.
02:38:06.000And I guess if the fish was really big, you had to like throw it back because you can get like really sick.
02:38:11.000I think it's the toxins from the fish they eat.
02:38:32.000We went fishing on a perch tour this summer, and they caught a fish.
02:38:36.000I thought he was going to gut the fish right there on the boat, but what he was doing was when you pull them up very fast, they get the bends.
02:38:47.000So it looks so violent, but they're actually saving the fish.
02:38:50.000They're going to throw them back, and they just...
02:38:52.000Stab them almost underneath the thing and it just lets the air out and they're able to lose.
02:40:49.000Bro, if you were a little kid, if you were a four-year-old kid and you went diving, free diving near that, there's a real likelihood that thing swallows you.
02:43:25.000I got lost on a YouTube journey once with a guy who made homemade mousetraps, and he would create little systems to drown mice and rats in buckets.
02:44:27.000This is an estimate that there are approximately 3 million rats in New York City, which is close to a third of the city's human population.
02:44:33.000It's a 50% increase from a decade ago.
02:45:29.000And I went over to this pay phone, and I'm on the pay phone, and I'm watching rats jump onto the wheel of my car, jump into the engine bay, jump all around it.
02:45:38.000They were coming out of the sewer and jumping on the car.
02:45:42.000I was two minutes on the phone going, what the fuck?
02:45:45.000I didn't realize until I lived in the city what a problem that is.
02:45:49.000If you leave your car, like, sitting for days at a time, rats will get inside and, like, chew, like, wires and fucking, like, fuck your car.
02:46:02.000The theory began in the 1900s when author and rat expert W.R. Boulter hypothesized that in England there was a ratio of one human to one rat.
02:46:11.000However, Auerbach points out that the hypothesis was erroneously applied to New York City and is widely quoted to this day.
02:46:52.000In the city, and we all lived in the city for years and years, but Jay still does, but every now and then, there'll just be a block where there's construction or something like that, like there's something open in the ground, and sometimes you just have to walk through it, and you just have to stomp your way through it because there's just rats everywhere.
02:47:11.000It feels like your skin is like, oh, dude, it's awful.
02:47:14.000I've never seen it with rats before, but I found out what it was after, but...
02:47:18.000Talking about a first-time New York thing happening was, uh, I was just outside smoking a cigarette on my stoop when I was in the East Village, and all of a sudden I was like, hmm, that's weird.
02:47:29.000Three roaches walking by in the daylight for like, that's kind of weird.
02:48:10.000He goes, oh, one building, they're probably trying to sell a building, so they bombed it for roaches, and it just sends tens of thousands of them out onto the streets.
02:49:48.000They were doing work on the High Line.
02:49:50.000But I know they said, in the summer of 2020, we started seeing these little bugs we had never seen before, and they said, you're supposed to kill it.
02:49:56.000They're almost kind of pretty when you see them.
02:49:58.000They said you're supposed to kill it if you see it.
02:49:59.000And immediately we were like, I don't work for you, government.
02:50:01.000I'm not going around killing your bugs.
02:50:02.000And then by the next summer, there was like ten times as many.
02:50:06.000And the next summer, there were like ten times as many.
02:51:01.000But they're evolving, too, in the fact that the first year that I was aware of them, the first year I was aware of them, you could step on them, and they didn't really do much.
02:51:47.000They're killing all plants and stuff, too.
02:51:49.000So it's really bad, but they're like...
02:51:51.000If you read one article, it's like, here's New York's five-year plan to get rid of the lanternflies, and the next article's like, no, they're just here.
02:51:59.000Like, this is gonna be a month every year.
02:55:16.000It wasn't he open the McNuggets then they throw him she goes oh and here's your sauce like a sweet like a sweet and sour sauce and the monkey knows how to go like like rip the lid off and like dink.
02:56:31.000They were full-grown chimps and they they just felt at any moment that they could just lose their shit and just take over.
02:56:36.000If they just wanted to at any moment they could just attack you then that's what you ever see that one where the guy was like with his bear.
02:58:22.000They should have known this was going to happen because a kid one time picked up a shoe off the floor that the monkey wanted, and then he goes over and he's coming after him.
02:58:31.000It looks a little aggressive, but he's not that big, so it doesn't look that scary.
02:58:34.000But then when he just makes a move to grab at the shirt and whatever, and you see the kid almost falls over, and he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
03:02:05.000The last time a coyote killed a person on record was a Canadian folk singer.
03:02:11.000She lived in a part of Canada where the coyotes had started eating moose.
03:02:15.000Because they were running out of things to eat, and they realized that if they bite on moose's legs, especially young mooses, they could take them out, and then they could eat them and kill them.
03:02:23.000So they were accustomed to going after things larger than them.
03:04:48.000Because if you live in a big city, people are dreaming and shit.
03:04:51.000If you're in the middle of nowhere, it's like...
03:04:54.000Well, even if you're in the suburb of a big city, if you're in kind of nowhere, but there's a half-hour bus to a city where something's I remember talking to Jeff Dice, who's a really brilliant dude.
03:05:07.000He was Ron Paul's chief of staff for years.
03:05:11.000So where Ron Paul is, it's like two hours south of Houston.
03:05:15.000Lake Jackson, I think, was the name of his district.
03:05:17.000And he was telling me, he was like, dude, there's nothing here.
03:05:20.000If you're a kid coming up here, it's like, I don't know, we got an Arby's.
03:05:26.000And that's where so many of those kids joined the military.
03:05:29.000Because that's like the only thing you could do.
