Chris Stefano tries to light a cigar for the very first time, and it doesn t go well. He almost vomits. Joe tries to help him, but it doesn't go well either. The guys discuss cigars, cigars, and more cigars.
00:05:11.000When you read about the Crusades, they said the Muslims were able to smell the Christian army coming from miles away because of how filthy they were, where Muslims were all about science and cleansiness and Dr. Squatch before it was big.
00:05:24.000Well, before the Mongols sacked Iraq, That was the pinnacle of civilization.
00:05:32.000They turned the river, was it the river Tigris?
00:05:44.000And those people were at the pinnacle of science.
00:05:46.000And then look, you go all the way to the 1990s and you got fucking Saddam Hussein and his psychopathic kids running shit and killing people and that was what was left over.
00:07:07.000Sergio used to beat up drug dealers when he was 15 with his fists.
00:07:11.000Other drug dealers would pay this 15-year-old kid to go beat up other drug dealers with his fists on the Lower East Side and get money.
00:07:16.000But he's a great guy and a spiritual guy and he's the only guy I know that would beat up a drug dealer and then journal about it later because he's in the speech.
00:09:01.000Just having Marshall around can make my day 10 times better.
00:09:05.000I'm sure you love your dog just as much, and you want to do your best to help them live longer, healthier, happier lives.
00:09:12.000And a healthy life for your dog starts with healthy food, just like it does for us.
00:09:17.000There's a reason having a balanced diet is so important.
00:09:20.000So how do you know if your dog's food is as healthy and as safe as it can be?
00:09:26.000Well, Farmer's Dog gives you that peace of mind by making fresh, real food developed by board-certified nutritionists to provide all the nutrients your dog needs.
00:09:36.000And their food is human-grade, which means it's made to the same quality and safety standards as human food.
00:09:44.000Very few pet foods are made to this strict standard.
00:09:47.000And let's be clear, human-grade food doesn't mean the food is fancy.
00:09:53.000Real food from people who care about what goes into your dog's body.
00:09:58.000The farmer's dog makes it easy to help your dog live a long, healthy life by sending you fresh food that's pre-portioned just for your dog's needs.
00:11:42.000They're beating big grocery stores at their own game.
00:11:44.000So do yourself a favor, download the GoPuff app on your phone, use the code ROGAN20 for $20 off your order, and experience faster, cheaper, better shopping.
00:12:50.000But the thing is for me, Joe, and I'm just completely honest with you, when I get really angry, like you'll punch a wall or you'll do man shit, I cry.
00:12:58.000There's been many times where I've gotten so mad that I just start to tear up and cry.
00:13:01.000I've cried in front of Giannis before.
00:13:03.000When I get angry, I just start to cry.
00:13:05.000So there's some wires crossed somewhere in me, but we've kind of accepted.
00:13:08.000That's why I think our friendship has blossomed to the way it is, because we both understand that we just have a little bit more estrogen than most guys, and that's okay.
00:13:20.000Joe got not even close to being nicked, which is rare for a comic, because it's very usually hard to be funny and not a little bit of a feminine guy.
00:13:27.000You're a very manly guy that can be funny.
00:13:30.000Well, most guys that, if you hang around boxing gyms, or if you hang around a lot of cops, or if you hang around soldiers, they're funny, man.
00:13:38.000They're funny dudes because it's gallows humor.
00:13:41.000One of my funniest friends was a Special Forces guy.
00:15:02.000You allow your brain to go down these Very detrimental thought patterns and you under you have to like separate you Consciousness from these patterns that you allow your your attention to go down That's what it is.
00:15:20.000Yeah, and if you can shut those off You'll you'll have a happier life you have to you have to understand where they're going and when they go in a negative detrimental anxiety spiral Now, I'm not saying this will work for everybody because I do believe that some anxiety is chemical.
00:15:35.000I believe that some people have a bad balance because I know people like that.
00:15:46.000But I know for me that with me, I know because of extreme experiences, I know how to shut those things off.
00:15:54.000So from fighting, from hunting, from doing stand-up, from doing a lot of live things where you're in front of like thousands of people, I know how to shut that part of the brain off that goes down those roads.
00:17:28.000Unfortunately, even victims, like people that are psychologically damaged and they're depressed, that is a type of narcissism, unfortunately.
00:17:36.000But you don't want to further victimize someone who's got a mental illness by saying, oh, you're a narcissist.
00:17:42.000But if you're just only worried about how other people think of you, And only worried about how you fit into everything.
00:19:17.000And it's really unfortunate, that Sandy Hook thing, because if it wasn't for that, he would be way more respected and people would appreciate him for what he is.
00:20:37.000If you get enough of the ones that don't make sense, like the Jews control the weather, you get enough of the flat earth ones, you get enough...
00:20:56.000Conspiracy theories are lumped in all together, just like drugs.
00:21:00.000And the best way to do that is to put a bunch of bad ones out there, really bad ones, so that the ones that are plausible, you go, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:22:02.000Do you think it's possible, just hear me out, do you think it's possible that what this existence actually is is some type of prison planet and we are negative emotions are being fed on by an ancient alien race that has kind of imprisoned us and the reason why monks and people like that go into deep meditation is because a lot of this universe is spoken through vibrations and they can get their vibrations to a certain height where they can vibrate and have so much positive energy that the prison planet rulers can't eat their Can't eat them,
00:22:31.000and they're not stuck in this loop like we are.
00:23:07.000So you don't think there's a possibility this is a prison plan from an advanced human race and they're eating our negative emotions and thoughts?
00:26:08.000What are we talking about prison planets?
00:26:10.000Do you know how much we would be loving this if it never happened?
00:26:15.000Like, if you never got to be around friends and just shoot the shit and smoke a cigar and laugh and crack up and talk about nonsense, like...
00:26:23.000If you couldn't do it, it would be something you would look forward to so much.
00:26:26.000If you're lonely, if you didn't have good friends, you didn't have, like, comics are the best friends.
00:28:12.000Some of our peers who don't have families and is just constantly worried about this business is like, I don't know how you're going to get off that treadmill.
00:28:49.000That's a baby that got terrible exposure to bad ideas and bad input and mean people around him and you got, you know, thrust into this situation.
00:28:58.000So now you see him, like when I see homeless people, I get so sad.
00:29:02.000And I see like homeless people that are just like, that's someone's baby.
00:29:35.000I was looking at this guy, I'm like, I don't think that's good for your back, but, like, if he can hold it there, that's gotta be some, like, very good structure.
00:29:44.000Do you do that, it's a baby thing, even with, like, Genghis Khan and Hitler?
00:29:51.000I mean, it's not, like, what stopped me from killing them.
00:29:53.000But what it does do is it puts me in this place of, instead of, like, thinking of everything as being static, that everything is this, like, constant progression towards what What you are now.
00:30:13.000I do understand terrorism, terrorists, like old school terrorists, when like, you know, if America's like bombed their country for whatever reason and killed their babies, they're like, well, now I'm going to fucking go lethal and I'm going to start killing everybody in that country when I can.
00:30:26.000I just get it where I didn't get it before I had kids.
00:30:29.000But I'm like, if somebody did that to me and my children and took them away, I would just go crazy.
00:30:33.000I'd learn how to light a cigar and I'd start fucking killing people because I have nothing left to live for, I feel.
00:31:27.000He doesn't smoke them, he just takes them out and he holds onto them and he puts them in the ashtray and then he pulls another one out and he holds onto it.
00:31:33.000He went smoking again for a while, he started smoking again, but then he stopped again.
00:33:30.000When he comes into the clubs, he'll tell you about, he won't tell you about his feats at Madison Square Garden and all that to tell you, like, how good he is.
00:33:37.000He'll say, here's where I was, here's where I am now, so this comedy game is like a roller coaster and I'm living proof and just stay in the game.
00:34:01.000I couldn't believe I was meeting him, you know what I mean?
00:34:03.000It was like one of those things, like, I can't believe that's really him.
00:34:06.000You know, you see a guy, like, when I was 19 years old, me and this girl I was dating, we were listening to his cassette in my car in front of my house.
00:35:19.000I've noticed now when you, like my conversations with people have become like I did when I was in high school.
00:35:25.000I gotta wait till everyone's asleep and then I gotta, it's late at night, one in the morning and only people I can talk to is comics because they're up and, you know, it's weird.
00:35:33.000You know, kids don't even talk to each other.
00:37:52.000You either have to get on birth control, which completely fucks with your hormones, completely fucks with your body, also can cause blood clots.
00:38:37.000He said he had built a room downstairs, a studio for her to like drums or something like that, whatever she was into.
00:38:43.000And then he went and had to go in like the most inner room of this thing that he built and he locked her in there and she did not see light again for 28 years.
00:40:19.000The barbarians, the British, redcoats.
00:40:21.000The Germanic tribes that went after the Romans, too.
00:40:24.000Right, Germanic tribes, but they hired the Hessians.
00:40:25.000I read a book where they were talking about—they had letters from British redcoat soldiers from 1776 that were writing back to their wives about how things were, and there was this one battle—I think it was the Battle of Brooklyn—where the Hessians, they had the Hessian mercenaries come— First, onto land first, and they started killing the Patriot soldiers, the Continental Army, and they were cutting their faces off and sharing each other, sharing the faces and laughing about it, and the British soldiers were saying, these guys are crazy.
00:40:55.000Like, they're running around with other soldiers' faces that they just murdered, and I don't know what to do with them.
00:41:00.000They're on our side, but they are nuts.
00:41:02.000And that was German, and then it goes all the way through to the Nazis, so there's something a little different about the geography of that place.
00:41:08.000You just go to their porn and You see them putting bottles in their assholes.
00:42:09.000Revealed his obsessions and lifted the lid on an underworld of cannibalism, which Mews claims counts about 800 members in Germany.
00:42:16.000Mews told the court he regretted killing Brandes.
00:42:19.000And has apologized to his victim's boyfriend, but he remained unrepentant about eating his flesh, saying it was the ultimate kick both of them were seeking.
00:42:36.000Dude, we did a whole History of Hyenas episode on John D. Rockefeller and we found that one of John D. Rockefeller's nephews, I think Michael Rockefeller, was an eager guy, wanted to film everyone in the Amazon and whatever, and he went into this one part with the Asmat tribe they were called, and they just fucking ate him.
00:45:04.000A boy's passage from boyhood to adulthood consists of six stages, which can take anywhere from 10 to 12 years to complete.
00:45:11.000Throughout most of the six stages, the act of having a stick of cane inserted in the nostrils and the performance of fellatio are integral to the process of becoming a man.
00:45:21.000So sucking dick is integral to the process.
00:45:25.000The two practices have been described as inhumane, homosexual, and child abuse with such actions meaning prison in most countries, a topic we will delve into later.
00:45:34.000For now, the big question was, why would they do this?
00:45:38.000Men are viewed as being born with the devil of woman around them, kind of like an evil spirit.
00:45:43.000They are thus removed from women at a young age in order to fix them.
00:45:47.000Women bleed, so men need nose bloodletting, which is the sticks going up their noses, while fellatio experiment is because the semen of the man possesses the masculine spirit, therefore they inject the semen, they will become proper men.
00:46:14.000After the ceremony is complete, the men then get married and live heterosexual lifestyles with the exception that they will now be the ones receiving rather than giving the fellatio.
00:46:32.000But what we're seeing now, this is cringe, but if you go back to the 1400s or whatever, this was just life.
00:46:38.000Alexander the Great, one of the most manly men of all time, we did a whole episode on him, found out he had a full boyfriend the entire time that the people celebrated him for.
00:46:51.000In those days, you got a eunuch, you found a boy that you thought was handsome, clipped his nuts, removed any sexual urges he had, and then he would watch your harem of women that you had, that you would take for the empire, and then you would bang him out, and it wasn't gay.
00:47:04.000Well, you know Nero, what Nero did, the wildest one.
00:48:04.000He also would go with a group of his friends and he would put himself in disguise and they would just go beat people up and kill them on the street just for fun.
00:49:33.000It's saying there's nothing wrong with being fat, which is crazy.
00:49:36.000You know, it's one thing if you don't want to be mean to people because they're fat, yes.
00:49:40.000And, you know, if you can encourage them to be healthy, yes.
00:49:42.000I mean, I'm not the expert on GLP-1 agonists, but this lady is out of her fucking mind.
00:49:49.000You know, I think there's probably a lot of side effects to a lot of these drugs that people are taking to get skinny, but at least it's moving you in the right direction because being fat is killing you.
00:50:21.000CRFI. If you're like many women, you've been to a birthday party or a small office gathering, an event that's meant to bring people together.
00:50:32.000There's swinging tunes, some adult beverages, and good convo.
00:50:37.000And then it comes time to cut the cake, and someone decides to ruin everything.
00:50:53.000A cake-related fatphobic incident, or C-R-F-I, is that moment...
00:51:00.000When it's time to eat delicious cake and it's interrupted by a moralizing impulse.
00:51:06.000Inevitably, there's always someone at the party who has to declare publicly that their slice is too large and that the person who's cutting the cake, almost invariably a woman, must do some disproportionate amount of labor in order to accommodate their need to feel superior.
00:52:38.000Well, it's not that she's Republican, Michael.
00:52:40.000She's an old-school Latina, where she's just more like, I don't know, Chris, you're gonna have to get out there and work, get up there and fight.
00:52:46.000And when she hears shit, she's like, this is annoying.
00:53:11.000And these motherfuckers who have no money for anything, they can't clean the shit, the human shit off the streets, they hired this lady to make the dumbest video about the size of cake.
00:53:22.000Like, isn't it okay to want a small piece of cake?
00:53:25.000Why do I have to eat a big piece of cake and it makes you feel better?
00:53:29.000Because you want to be a glutton and just saddle up to that fucking cake and just shove it in your face?
00:54:06.000And we'll break down the first letters of it, CFRI. Do you think it's the collapse of a civilization, like the way Rome got a little, you know, zany at the end?
00:54:16.000Or do you think this is unique in that humans have so much time on their hands because of the Industrial Revolution and then the technological revolution on top of that?
00:54:28.000So this is just a consequence of the tech revolution where nobody, you know, people working from home, everyone's working on the computer, it's a talking shit economy, and nobody's got, and they're losing their mind because they don't have purpose.
00:55:25.000They've done a lot to try to circumvent that.
00:55:27.000They've done a lot to try to have ultimate control over the media, ultimate control over the military, and it's mostly people that aren't even elected.
00:55:37.000So there's a lot of weirdness that's moved us closer and closer towards a monarchy, closer and closer towards tyranny.
00:55:45.000And then once it gets into tyranny, then you can only do that for so long.
00:55:49.000That lasts for as long as they can keep it going.
00:55:55.000There's a lot of civilizations that hang in there, but eventually it all falls apart.
00:56:00.000If we can avoid that, There's no reason why we can't keep it together.
00:56:05.000We just have to make sure we avoid these very predictable patterns that the people that founded this country, when they wrote the Bill of Rights, when they wrote the Constitution, they were trying to mitigate the effects That are just common in any group of society that's run by individuals or by a small group of people.
00:56:50.000Do you think then that we're going to be in a part of society in the next, I don't know, 30 years where we're going to start getting ruled by AI? Is that possible?
00:57:15.000Mark Andreessen talked about this, and this is the craziest statistic I think I've ever heard.
00:57:19.000He was talking to us about The potential that quantum computing has, but now there's an equation that quantum computers solve quickly, like in a couple minutes, that if you converted the entire universe into a computer,
00:57:34.000the entire, every atom in the universe into a giant supercomputer, it would take So much time to solve this equation that the universe would die of heat death before the universe as a computer can solve this and these quantum computers can solve it in minutes.
00:57:54.000And what that means, they believe, is that this is proof of the multiverse, is that this quantum computer is somehow connected to other sources of computing power in an infinite number of universes.
00:59:02.000If they don't have an answer to something, they have a thing called hallucinations where they'll make up an answer.
00:59:09.000They just make up an answer, like a crazy person in the 1980s before Google.
00:59:13.000They just tell you exactly, like L. Ron Hubbard.
00:59:17.000So this computer is just, this is like regular computers.
00:59:22.000This is the standard supercomputers that we're all currently having.
00:59:26.000What's going to happen with quantum computing is you're going to have computing power that's beyond your imagination that's also connected to AGI. Bro, can I ask you a question?
01:00:35.000That's what we're thinking over here on the East Coast.
01:00:37.000We're just thinking it's got to be the Chinese.
01:00:39.000They've been doing it for a couple years.
01:00:40.000Well, you know, they don't have the restrictions that we have as far as the FAA. Right.
01:00:40.000You know they've been doing it for a couple years.
01:00:44.000So the FAA, it puts a lot of restrictions on drone manufacturing, which is why most drone manufacturing is done in China, like the real high-end stuff.
01:00:52.000It's difficult to do because in order to fly some of them, you have to have a pilot's license.
01:01:44.000ChatGPT, the fact that you just said ChatGPT lies is actually really making me nervous.
01:01:48.000I'm not even kidding around because I just put a down payment on a house and my accountant told me I couldn't afford it, but then I asked ChatGPT if I could and ChatGPT said yes.
01:01:58.000So I went for it, and now I swear to God, dude, I'm a little nervous because he told me you cannot afford it, and I said, let's go for it, baby, and I asked ChatGPT, and they said I could.
01:02:08.000Yeah, ChatGPT, like, knows my name, remembers, has memory of the previous conversations we were going to have.
01:03:34.000And in four years it's become something that kids keep getting busted using it to write paper.
01:03:39.000Well, and now in my stepson's high school, a kid, a really smart kid wrote a paper.
01:03:44.000He's saying he wrote it on his own, but they're saying it's ChatGPT.
01:03:47.000But he's saying, I wrote this, and there's no real way to know because it's different enough from the ChatGPT, but it also could be based off ChatGPT.
01:04:02.000If a kid is really correct, it's going to be exactly what ChatGPT says.
01:04:06.000Like if you're laying out some story about Napoleon and you know all the facts and then you pump that story into ChatGPT and it gives you basically the same group of people.
01:04:35.000Well, first of all, Google's AI, one of the things that they're going to do with their AI center is that they're going to attach it to nuclear power plants.
01:05:15.000Google signed a deal to use small nuclear reactors to generate the vast amounts of energy needed to power its artificial intelligence data centers.
01:05:23.000The company says the agreement with Kairos Power will see it start using the first reactor this decade and bring more online by 2035. They all know what's coming.
01:07:26.000That would probably become, like, everything would become so trite and numb that you would probably like to be murdered.
01:07:31.000There might actually be less violence in the world, because you're like, you know, like, you get it all out, nobody dies, and you start to be like, I'll find another way to get these emotions out.
01:07:40.000I want to hang an ornament right off that curl for Christmas.
01:07:43.000Sometimes Giannis is a very interesting guy.
01:07:45.000He looks like he has hair one day and then no hair the next day, but today he's got a full head of hair.
01:07:48.000Yeah, I do look like every picture I look like a different person.
01:07:52.000And what's good about us is we form one complete person because his eyes, if you look close, are too close together and mine are a little too far apart.
01:07:58.000So when we come together, We form one regular face.
01:08:01.000He's got a small head, I got a big head, and then we form together as one.
01:08:17.000So I just thought something was wrong with their programs.
01:08:18.000Every time I put my fingers on, and then finally I went there and they were like, the finger thing's not working, you've got to use the eyes.
01:08:23.000So I just said, your program's not working, it never works.
01:08:26.000And the guy looked at me and he said...
01:08:27.000I think the problem is your eyes are too close together.
01:08:31.000And then he said, why don't we try one eye at a time?
01:08:34.000So then I just scanned my face across and I think finally clear registered that I was a three-dimensional person and not like a mythical cycloptic creature.
01:10:00.000Dude, we were just doing an episode on Winston Churchill and then we start discovering this shit and we said, dude, this is a Patreon episode.
01:10:05.000Operation Unthinkable, Winston Churchill, the man who was protecting England, killing the Nazis, when the war was over, when Nazis were out, He said, I don't like the way the United States and Russia are getting so close together.
01:10:24.000Someone's going to have to knock the Russians out.
01:10:26.000And the British were like, we don't have the manpower right now.
01:10:29.000So he literally went to Parliament and said to them, here's an idea.
01:10:33.000We're calling it Operation Unthinkable.
01:10:35.000We need to knock out Russia before they become the next superpower, and then they're going to attack us.
01:10:40.000You know how we have 40,000 German prisoners of war right now, Nazi prisoners of war?
01:10:46.000Let's give them guns, and we'll march them into Russia, and we'll be side to side with them.
01:10:50.000And that was his literal—he wanted to team up with the Nazis to try to take over Russia, and that's a, as we call it on the show, a truth-bader Ginsburg.
01:10:58.000And that, when we uncovered that, we were like, so none of this history, as we're taught in school— Same thing we uncovered that they knew, allegedly, Churchill and FDR knew about the Holocaust, but it was yielding scientific data, so they let it kind of go.
01:11:13.000They may believe they didn't know, but they let it go, and then once they just started killing people with no science, they said, okay, let's liberate them now.
01:11:22.000Supposedly because Nazi scientists were doing different types of experiments with Holocaust victims and they were getting some type of scientific data because they didn't care if they lived or died.
01:11:33.000So they would inject them with some type of chemical or some type of, you know, machinery.
01:11:37.000Yeah, it's this book I read called The Nazi Symbiosis.
01:12:07.000I get a little triggered around him because the Nazis did occupy my home country, Greece, and I get a little triggered by his German presence.
01:12:13.000He's a German kid from Ridgewood, and sometimes he rooted in history.
01:12:17.000When he was growing up, he said just for fun.
01:12:39.000If you listen to a Hitler speech, AI generated, if they translate it into English, and you just churned out Deutschland for America, and you're just listening, you don't know that's Hitler, what Hitler's saying is it just pumps you up.
01:12:58.000Like when he says, there's a speech where he says, we're up against Germany, we are up against England right now, we are two superpowers, and the only way to prevail is one must be destroyed, and it will not be Germany!
01:13:10.000And if the crowd goes nuts, you start to say like, holy fucking shit!
01:14:33.000Yeah, and a lot of Germans, those five years from 1945 to 1950, that suicide rate of German soldiers coming home was through the roof, Papi, because they were coming off meth.
01:14:44.000They were getting ostracized by their own people and the rest of Europe, and they were saying, what did I do?
01:14:49.000Some of them actually were, obviously, a lot of them were just horrific people that were sadistic, but a lot of these guys, also, it's not like they had a choice.
01:14:57.000They had to fight in the Nazi armor or they would be killed.
01:14:59.000And then they were all drugged out, so then the suicide rate tripled.
01:15:02.000Yeah, but let's not act like it was just the drugs.
01:15:05.000I mean, the whole Jewish thing was nothing new.
01:15:08.000It's like the Jews just always figured out a way to flourish wherever they were, and they're just good at economics.
01:15:15.000And I think when a country goes through economic hardships and everyone's suffering, they just look at the Jews and they go, they just get jealous.
01:16:42.000My grandfather is from the island that used to be called Imbros, which is now called something with a squiggly line over it because it's a Turkish word.
01:16:50.000The Turks took that island back, and my grandfather was sent away to Alexandria by my great-grandparents because the local Ottoman viceroy, or whatever they called it, they have a word for it, but he was essentially a viceroy, was like raping boys.
01:17:06.000So they sent him away, and he never saw his family again.
01:17:09.000He went to live in Alexandria, and then he came to America, and yes, he opened a diner.
01:17:35.000And so what the Nazis would do is they would take a girl from the village.
01:17:40.000Because they were marching troops all over the place, through the mountains, the guerrillas, the Greek guerrilla fighters, which was the local populations, they were also with the British and New Zealand and Australian troops, but they would pluck them off because they knew the terrain and they would just, they would pluck them off.
01:17:55.000So the Nazis were so brutal but smart in a devious way, they would take a girl from the village and put her up high on the truck To march through that area of that village so the gorillas wouldn't shoot.
01:18:09.000So they were going to take my aunt, my mom's mother.
01:18:11.000So they sent my aunt to go hide in the mountains.
01:18:15.000And the Nazis came to my mother's parents' house, to her house.
01:18:19.000And my mother was like seven at the time.
01:18:28.000So they kind of knew they wanted a girl who was, like, teenager, kind of tall.
01:18:33.000So it wasn't too brutal, because it was like a little kid, but it was, like, enough that it would ward off the gorillas from firing at them.
01:18:40.000Because if they missed, or if they got, Nazi got shot, then they would kill the girl on the truck.
01:18:45.000Yeah, they're basically going, it's basically a hostage, going, like, we're taking a village girl, putting her up, and making her visible, because they don't know the terrain.
01:19:51.000Viktor Frankl, he survived the Holocaust, but he wrote it during, while he was in a concentration camp.
01:19:56.000And he was saying, I think it was, call it 1942. He was saying, if you would have told me and the people here in 1922 that this would be happening to us, we would say, no, no, no.
01:20:06.000Those are the barbarians from 100 years ago that would ever do that.
01:21:26.000You know, I mean, just look at these wacky bills, like the bill they just shot down that people are justifying.
01:21:32.000Like, did you look at that bill, all the different stuff that was in the bill?
01:21:36.000First of all, there's bio labs in that bill.
01:21:39.000Gain-of-function research in that bill, 40% increase in raise for Congress in that bill, some enormous amount of money to build a stadium in Washington, D.C. There's a lot of nutty shit in that bill, and how many different people were interested in those things?
01:21:57.000When you're saying biolabs, who the fuck is asking for biolabs?
01:22:01.000Some corporation that's going to benefit from the biolabs.
01:23:03.000It's fluid, which is important because of human nature is not perfect.
01:23:06.000That's why I never sign on to any, like...
01:23:08.000ideologies, utopian theories, because it's a mix of systems that works because human nature is so complicated and individuals are so different that one company will be run by a moral good guy.
01:23:20.000Another company will be dumping toxic waste into the Hudson River.
01:26:29.000I think it was a situation where they've got to do something, because I don't think they had the same access to new materials, and they just came up with a much more comprehensive way to...
01:27:35.000All they care about is their bottom line.
01:27:37.000It costs money for them to consider recycling or what's going to happen with the product when it's done.
01:27:44.000I've been getting glass bottles of milk now from the supermarket because if you get this glass bottle of milk, they say the milk's better and then I can give the glass bottle back and, number one, I get $3 back and they said that they clean them out and they just put more milk in the glass bottle.
01:30:16.000She's secretly controlled Saigon Commercial Bank, the country's fifth biggest lender, taking out loans and cash over more than 10 years through a web of shell companies, amounting to a total of $44 billion.
01:30:32.000Prosecutors say $27 billion was misappropriated, $12 billion was judged to have been embezzled, most serious financial crime which was sentenced to death.
01:30:40.000Tuesday, the court said there was no basis to reduce her sentence.
01:30:44.000However, she could still avoid the execution if she returns $9 billion.
01:30:49.000Three-quarters of the $12 billion she embezzled.
01:31:52.000But to pull that off in communist Vietnam, that I know they have a little bit of a, you know, periastroka kind of mixed economy now, but you got to give her credit as a woman.
01:32:35.000Somebody sent me an email the other day and said that they hacked into my phone and computer and they have videos of me doing disgusting things and jerking off and all that and they said the only way that they can make it go away is if I, and they gave me a link and they said I have to pay them in Bitcoin.
01:32:52.000I have to pay them in all this Bitcoin.
01:32:53.000So I was just like, you know, I mean, I didn't obviously do it, but I was just like, show me the video.
01:33:37.000The thing was, there was an enormous amount of money that was put into this meme coin by all these people, and then she or someone representing her side of it sold instantaneously and made a huge score, and then the coin was worth nothing.
01:34:02.000That seems like a good place to put my nest egg.
01:34:04.000Some people for sure lost money, but it was definitely a time to just troll and be like, oh, I'm such an idiot, I lost $10 million on this, because people were trolling the whole movement of being dumb and following Hawk Tour.
01:34:15.000But some people did lose money, I don't want to.
01:34:17.000Is she actually going to go to jail for real?
01:34:32.000Like, are you allowed to have a meme coin and it gets to like $100 million and you have a bunch of it and you just sell it all and you make $50 million?
01:35:39.000It was probably the partners that went with her, they pump and dumped on her, and then she's left holding the bill because nobody knows who they are.
01:35:50.000A legal firm of Burnwick Laws filed a U.S. federal lawsuit on behalf of the investors against the creators of the influencer-push Hawk Tua meme coin, which fell on its face in the hours following its launch.
01:36:02.000Haley Welch, who gained notoriety this year with the Hawk Tua girl following a viral interview about sexual technique, facing a disastrous Solana meme coin launch at the start of the month.
01:36:13.000Not only did the price collapse by 93% from a $490 million peak.
01:36:20.000$490 million peak market cap for a Hawk Tua coin.
01:36:24.000With the rug pull allegations quickly surfacing, but a cluster of connected wallets holding 96% of the supply led to further controversy.
01:36:33.000The hate only increased when it was found that some of the wallets were selling.
01:36:37.000Quickly, Berwick Law posted on Twitter asking for hawk buyers impacted by the plunge to step forward to create a potential lawsuit.
01:36:45.000Now, two weeks later, the lawsuit has been filed naming 12 American resident plaintiffs who claim to have collectively suffered damages in excess of $151,000.
01:36:56.000If I lost a million bucks, I'd be in that fast.
01:40:21.000You limit the supply, and then, oh, these are only 10 original paintings, and this is what I'm charging, because there's only 10 prints of these, and so you create the value by the scarcity.
01:40:31.000So there's nothing mysterious about that.
01:41:38.000Even when I get the rules, I'm like, I still don't understand.
01:41:40.000You know, I was in Newfoundland, and I did a show up there once, and the place that was at was like a theater, and in this theater apparently they have curling shows.
01:41:51.000And so when you're walking down the hallway in the back, before you go on stage, there's all these fucking photos of people curling.
01:41:58.000And I just went out there and started shitting on curling right away, and they were so bummed out.
01:44:04.000Like, a lot of these fat golfers, there's a thing they know how to do, they whack that ball, and they know exactly how to fucking put a little spin on that motherfucker, a little whist action on that sucker.
01:44:14.000The difference between pro and being able to play the game is like, being a banker and playing Monopoly.
01:44:19.000Like, you ever seen Bartolo Colon, the pitcher for the Mets?
01:48:24.000Those Iceland guys that win the World's Strongest Man competition all the time, like those guys like the Mountain from Game of Thrones, where do you think that gene line came from?
01:48:35.000Those were the dudes that were in that fucking boat with the dragon head at the front, and when they pulled up at your shore, everybody just ran.
01:51:43.000Schedule 1. I think when we realize the benefits of these things, and hopefully it's within our lifetime, especially for people that have PTSD, like soldiers.
01:51:55.000And then they'll have clinics where regular people can use it, and then they can get over a lot of the shit that people are struggling with.
01:52:01.000There's a lot of people that could have a psychedelic experience and snap themselves back onto a better course in life.
01:52:08.000And if it's illegal, that number of people is going to be very limited.
01:52:12.000But like all things, it's gonna have side effects.
01:52:39.000It depends on what you're doing, you know, and when you're doing it, what time in your life, and what the experience was like.
01:52:45.000But it should be something that's controlled.
01:52:47.000It should be something that where you have places you can go, where they have a very strict protocol, they measure your weight, they know what the dose is to give you, you can do it in a calm and clean and safe setting.
01:53:37.000So he would go into the sensory deprivation tank and fucking bang himself with ketamine into the muscles because it would last a long time and just...
01:53:49.000We just fucking exist in this other dimension for hours at a time.
01:54:18.000But if it was a drug, if the sensory deprivation tank was a drug, it would be a very psychedelic drug.
01:54:23.000If it was just a drug, when you lay in there and your eyes are wide open, but it's pitch black and you're floating, you're completely weightless.
01:54:31.000If that was a drug, it'd be a very popular drug.
01:54:33.000Now, when you've done this stuff, most people seem to say their ego disappears over the horizon type of stuff.
01:54:44.000And your ego, you realize, is both protecting you and holding you back.
01:54:49.000Because your ego is like you need a little bit of ego if you want to make it in life Because you need to have enough confidence in yourself that you ask the girl out on a date that you're attracted to or that you chase the job that you want Or that you like stand up for yourself when you feel like you're getting fucked over in a business deal like you need some Ego you can't be completely selfless.
01:55:09.000You're not gonna get anywhere But then you have to realize that you're very fragile and your ego is protecting you from a lot of true understanding of the life experience.
01:55:22.000And one of the most profound things that happens with psychedelic experiences is the complete dissolving of ego.
01:55:30.000And then you kind of see yourself and everyone around you in a way more objective way.
01:55:36.000And you realize, oh my god, we're all energy feeding off of each other.
01:55:39.000And we're pretending that we're isolated and we're singular.
01:55:58.000If you don't hang out with your peers, if you don't have friends, you don't enjoy camaraderie and community, you want to pretend that you're like this isolated, dark poet or something like that, you're probably very mentally ill.
01:56:09.000There's probably something really wrong with you.
01:56:42.000And that's why I think it's bad, because it's messing with people's sense of what reality is, and people are essentially disassociating when they're on there.
01:56:49.000And it's just, it's a very shallow way to communicate, and I think that if you do it like that all the time, your ability to communicate normally and the ability to socialize and just have conversations with people gets severely stunted.
01:57:58.000And this is one thing about podcasts that's fucking amazing because podcasts are one of the rare times in my life where for three hours, I have no phone.
01:58:06.000For three hours, unless I'm checking something or sending Jamie something, I don't...
01:58:10.000And the people listening are also doing the same thing.
01:58:12.000They're connecting to you without doing that.
01:58:14.000Yeah, they're just connecting to hearing you.
02:00:45.000And we started the podcast because hyenas have always been my favorite animal, and we both loved history, and so we just combined those two things.
02:07:12.000So they have a deal, and it actually, they believe, helps keep them safe, because the hyenas know they don't have to kill anyone, they'll just get the food.
02:13:18.000So when we tore down, so there's like, you know, a wallboard, and you tear down the wallboard, you get to the raw brick, and in the raw brick there's a fucking swastika on the wall.
02:14:48.000I saw a thing that said hunter-gatherers, their bodies, not only the flexibility they had is unmatched, but they actually had bigger brains.
02:14:56.000You ever see this, that they actually think that they were smarter than us?
02:14:59.000They have bigger heads and bigger brains?
02:15:01.000Well, they probably had to process a lot of things.
02:15:19.000Stephen Hawking's not going to make it.
02:15:20.000Hunter-gatherers generally had larger brains compared to later human populations as the demands of their lifestyle, including complex foraging strategies and navigating diverse environments, lightly put selective pressure on the evolution of larger brain capacity for problem solving and planning.
02:15:36.000Expensive tissue hypothesis, interesting, which suggests that a diet rich in meat allowed for the energy expenditure needed to maintain a larger brain.
02:15:45.000Did you see those, you know, they found a new population of humans that existed as recently as, I think, 100,000 years ago?
02:15:57.000But they found them in China and they have much larger heads.
02:17:12.000Newly complete skull discovered in China in 1930 is a basis for the proposed new human species, Homo longi, that's it, known as Dragon Man.
02:17:20.000Skulls found in 33 Shanghua River in Harbin, China, where a bridge was being built.
02:17:25.000Okay, so the skull is a combination of ancient and modern features, including a large brain similar to modern humans and Neanderthals, a low forehead.
02:18:54.000So a provocative new piece in Nature has proposed a whole new group of ancient humans, cousins of the Denisovans and Neanderthals, that once lived alongside Homo sapiens in Eastern Asia more than 100,000 years ago.
02:19:05.000Brains of these extinct humans who probably hunted horses in small groups were much bigger than any other hominin of their time, including our own species.
02:22:57.000I still do it because I think I don't do drugs.
02:23:01.000My father was a compulsive gambler and told me never to gamble, so I thought I escaped because I don't know anything about cards and sports gambling.
02:27:15.000You know, Achilles is a bad one, because it's like, God, there's so much torque on that when you're moving, and then you've got to screw it back down to your bone, and then it's got to heal, and make sure you strengthen it enough before you start using it, so you have to be real diligent about your rehab.
02:27:29.000Like, look how long it took Aaron Rodgers, and he has state-of-the-art access to Ways to well.
02:28:30.000But the ones I really like are they have a wide toe box so your feet spread out and there's very minimal amount of sole just to kind of protect you from sharp things you stand on.
02:28:39.000But it allows your toes to move as individual units.
02:28:44.000So a regular shoe acts as like a cast.
02:28:47.000Like if you have like a thick soled boot and like a hard surface your foot sits on, it's like a cast.
02:28:54.000Your legs are picking it up, but your foot is basically atrophying inside that.
02:28:58.000And then if you work out barefoot, and especially if you work out and you do something explosive, like jumping and stuff with barefoot, then you're using your feet the way they're supposed to be used.
02:32:08.000I mean, if it's going to happen, they're both 37. It should probably happen soon.
02:32:12.000But John is, you know, the heavyweight champion of the world, and Pereira has challengers in the light heavyweight division, especially Ankoliyev.
02:32:19.000He's supposed to be fighting Ankoliyev.
02:33:02.000Okay, so he wouldn't be able to fight.
02:33:05.000Ankhlaev wouldn't be able to fight in March because if it's like March 3rd and he's got to go through the entire month of Ramadan preparing for a world title fight, February 28th and it ends Saturday, March 29th.
02:33:16.000See, that's exactly during the time period where he's going to fight.
02:33:21.000And with Ramadan, for the whole month you can only drink water?
02:33:25.000You definitely can drink water and eat food, but you can only do it after sundown.
02:33:30.000So, Bilal Muhammad, who's the UFC welterweight champion, he observes Ramadan and he was training and fighting.
02:33:39.000He'd have to take a fight during Ramadan, so what he would do is he would get up at like 4.30 in the morning before it was dark out, before it was light out rather, and he'd have a big meal.
02:33:47.000And then he would go to the gym and then he would have no water at the gym, nothing.
02:33:53.000And then at the end of the day, and also he also didn't sleep during the day.
02:33:57.000Like a lot of them, like their hack of that is they just sleep during the day and train and eat at night.
02:34:03.000But he said that if you do that, then you miss out on the religious suffering, which he thinks is very important for Ramadan.
02:34:08.000So he would do it the way you're supposed to do it where he worked out with no water.
02:35:00.000Well, I wanted to go until we found Bin Laden, the perpetrator, but obviously that was too long, but I did go until October 1st.
02:35:07.000From 9-11 to October 1, I said, as of my respect back to this country and patriotism, I'm not going to glue at all until we get out of this month of September.
02:35:15.000Didn't Louis have a joke about he waited until the second tower fell?
02:35:28.000Dude, I remember there was like a vigil like on September 18th or whatever, like a week later in like my neighborhood and I was playing basketball.
02:35:35.000I was a basketball player and I was playing in the park and I remember when I left, everyone was just standing outside their house with like American flags and candles and I wouldn't dribble my basketball because I was like, I think like a sound or any type of dribble of a ball.
02:36:44.000Well that's what's crazy is like if that's the case, how many submarines and how big are these submarines, because these things are the size of an SUV, and some of them were coming from some like untrackable distance offshore, like 50 plus miles offshore, and they're the size of an SUV and they could stay in the air for five hours.
02:38:10.000We just don't know if it's real or not.
02:38:12.000FAA bans drones in parts of New Jersey, threatens deadly force for imminent security threat.
02:38:18.000These areas have all now been deemed national defense airspace.
02:38:23.000The National Aviation Administration issued bans on flying drones in multiple cities across New Jersey, including several in our area due to security reasons.
02:38:33.000These areas are all now considered national defense airspace.
02:38:38.000The city of Camden, Gloucester City, Winslow Township, Evesham, Hancocks Bridge and Lower Alloways Township in Salem County, West Hampton, Burlington and Hamilton.
02:38:49.000Unmanned aircraft are not allowed in those areas through January 17th unless approved by the federal government.
02:38:55.000The FAA says pilots who violate the airspace, meaning pilots on the ground as well, may be detained and interviewed by law enforcement.
02:39:03.000The agency warns that the U.S. government may use deadly force against drones it deems an imminent threat.
02:39:10.000These restrictions come just days after the FBI released a joint government statement saying most of the reported drone sightings were just airplanes, manned drones, and stars in the sky.
02:42:04.000This is the one that Ryan Graves showed us that this lady photographed over Florida.
02:42:09.000That these things, and they've seen it on, this is one that was, this was seen by multiple people from different planes, that this thing moved and then shot off into space.
02:42:45.000So I'm saying if the drones are ours, maybe there's been UFO activity and they're throwing these drones up to try to capture it with better...
02:42:55.000Or, what better way to distract people from actual UFOs that you know are going to be all over the sky than to put a bunch of drones up there too?
02:43:05.000If you have a bunch of shit that seems like stuff that you've seen, like a drone flying around, and then there's stuff that is impossible with it, that's a good way to cover up the impossible stuff.
02:43:24.000If there was a big thing where all of a sudden the sky was filled with football field-sized fucking motherships, people would lose their shit.
02:43:33.000But if you could slowly get people accustomed to it, the way people got accustomed to masks...
02:43:39.000In the beginning, in 2019, if you saw someone with a mask on, you'd be like, what the fuck is going on?
02:43:44.000By 2021, why doesn't this guy have a mask on?
02:43:47.000Just in a couple of years, everybody was wearing a mask.
02:44:22.000If I was going to do that, if I was going to get people prepared for an imminent invasion, like if I knew that there was UFOs on the way, if like we're working at the James Webb Telescope and we get a photo of a mothership and it's heading towards us, it's going to be here in four months.
02:44:38.000Well, if I knew that they were going to be sending drones and probes into our atmosphere, and maybe they've already done that, to obscure that, I would put a bunch of our drones up there and have them hover over cities so it doesn't freak people out because you know that that's coming.
02:44:53.000I mean, being freaked out is probably the least of our problems when they come.
02:44:57.000Well, collapse of civil society is really possible if aliens show up.
02:45:04.000Like, if they just instantaneously showed up, things could completely collapse if we knew that our leaders are just nothing compared to these new things that are visiting us from some other place and doing things that are impossible with our technology.
02:45:30.000If all those stories are true, The best way to keep people from absolutely freaking out is to slowly trickle it in on them and get them more and more accustomed to this, like as a psyop.
02:45:46.000I think, according to someone that I spoke to, And this is someone who has high-level clearance and someone who worked for the government in this capacity.
02:46:02.000They're not exhibiting whatever they are.
02:46:04.000They're exhibiting technology that is far beyond what we're capable of.
02:46:09.000And then there's other ones, like Ryan Graves said, that are beyond state-of-the-art, but you can kind of sort of get that they would be a drone.
02:46:16.000But how is it in the air for five hours?
02:46:19.000How does it not have a heat signature?
02:46:22.000How does it know when other drones are coming near it, when they're flying jets near it, and they just shut the lights off and disappear?
02:46:35.000Also, if you were an alien and you wanted to get people accustomed to this without freaking out, wouldn't you start sending drones that are similar to what we have, but just many levels better?
02:46:45.000But similar enough, so you go, oh, I know what that is.
02:46:48.000Or they could just get on the TV and get like, hey dudes, we're chill.
02:46:52.000If they could get here, they'd know how to speak our language, and they'd just go, hey dudes, we're chill.
02:47:24.000One of the most disturbing things when he was doing the back engineering program on this supposed crashed alien spaceship or recovered alien spaceship was that they had a thick binder that was about religion.
02:47:36.000And the thing, we'll have him play it.
02:47:39.000We'll have him play it, because it's one of those ones we've played a few times.
02:47:41.000But the Bob Lazar story is the craziest.
02:47:45.000Because if he was telling the truth, and it seems like he's definitely telling the truth about a lot, he definitely worked at Los Alamos Labs, he was on the employee roster, he has a detailed understanding of the building, he knew all the security people when they took him there, when George Knapp took him on a tour through there.
02:47:57.000He definitely worked there, and he definitely was a propulsions expert.
02:48:02.000And he says they hired him to go and try to figure out this fucking thing.
02:52:10.000You know, it's hard to say when you're dealing with hypnotic...
02:52:14.000Because the thing about these when you're recalling things through hypnosis is like people are very susceptible to someone imparting a memory into them.
02:52:24.000So you'd have to know, like, what was the process like in which you interviewed these people?
02:52:29.000But John Mack, who was a psychologist from Harvard, wrote a book called Abduction that I read in the 1990s that detailed all the different people that he worked on, that he was, you know, having these hypnotic regression sessions with these people.
02:52:45.000And they were all telling these similar stories about being abducted.
02:52:48.000And that he believed that there was a few people on Earth where they would revisit.
02:52:54.000They would find, just like we do with animals, where we put collars on them, right?
02:53:01.000They'll put a collar on that mountain lion so they can understand where the mountain lion's going, where his terrain is.
02:53:06.000They do it with wolves when they relocate them.
02:53:08.000They put collars on them so they know where they are all the time.
02:53:12.000And it makes sense that they would probably want to understand us, so they would pick certain ones.
02:53:19.000And if they had a way to silence your memories and, you know, completely put you in some sort of a state where they could manipulate you and take you to some place and do examinations on you and then put you back with no memory of it other than these, like, weird nightmares.
02:56:17.000It's like you could totally have the same experience at noon that you could at night, but it seems like at nighttime people are off work, you get a couple of cocktails, get a little loose, sit in the dark, have a good time.
02:56:29.000But on a Saturday, sometimes I feel like people just sit around all day and wait for the show.
02:56:33.000If you can put it at 5 o'clock, why not?
02:56:34.000Look, that's why they like to go to football games, right?
02:57:47.000Well, I do a lot of different things that also act like that.
02:57:51.000Like my time in the sauna, I think that's very meditative.
02:57:54.000You know, especially when I'm just concentrating on breathing and getting through the last 10-15 minutes.
02:57:59.000Cold plunge, I think that's a very meditative state too because you have to be in control of your emotions and your anxiety because you want to get the fuck out of there and you have to just stare at the clock.
02:58:10.000You know, and make sure you do your time, but also other things that I do, yeah.
02:58:50.000And if you know you're definitely not alone, no matter who you are and what you say, I don't care if you're the baddest motherfucker on the planet, you run into an alien, you're going to freak out.
03:00:27.000The way Ezekiel describes this vision that he sees, like something that had multiple different animal heads on it and different...
03:00:35.000He describes it as a wheel within a wheel.
03:00:38.000The way he's describing, you would imagine if you saw something beyond your fucking wildest imagination, and then you tried years later to write this down, or not even write it down, right?
03:00:51.000It was told as an oral tradition for a long time before it was ever written.
03:00:54.000Who knows what the actual event was that he described, but there's a lot of ancient religious texts, including the Vimanas from the Bhagavad Gita, all these different stories of things flying in the air that exhibit extraordinary flight characteristics.
03:01:13.000Just because we have the capability to film this and know about it now, doesn't mean that they're going to expose themselves because they've been doing this for thousands of years.
03:01:55.000In the first one, he goes into detail about...
03:01:58.000Through the 1700s, 1800s, all these different sightings, all these different experiences that people documented in news stories, and they're all super similar, man.
03:02:09.000Similar enough that different versions of it, you could kind of attribute it to different people lacking the words to adequately explain some super paranormal, bizarre experience.
03:02:24.000I think they've probably always been here.
03:02:27.000If they're real, if we are visited by something that's either interdimensional or from another planet, they've probably been doing this for a long fucking time, monitoring us the same way we monitor animals on this planet.
03:02:39.000And they'll never, maybe never say who they really are.
03:02:42.000Well, maybe they're getting ready to because we're about to unleash these fucking quantum computers and AI, and maybe that is the thing that they're here to make sure goes smoothly.
03:02:52.000Because if you had to imagine one thing that would completely change the capability of this race of savage, barbarian, territorial apes with thermonuclear weapons, which is what we are, you would, like, right when they're about to achieve godlike powers, Like, let's, like, hover.
03:03:56.000If there's some silent thing that's three miles long that's blocking out the sky and it's hovering, you know, 300 yards above us, we would all be freaking the fuck out.
03:04:15.000So, what is ChatGBT's IQ considered now?
03:04:19.000Well, once ChatGBT, once they achieve, and they think they're going to be able to do this in 2025, when it achieves artificial general intelligence, I think what it will be is as smart as every human being that's on Earth combined.
03:04:52.000If you have sentient artificial intelligence and unlimited computing power connected to nuclear power plants like they're going to do, and then it develops a better version of itself and better versions of power and better versions of its programming and all the other things that go along with it and its capabilities, and if ChatGPT is trying to lie and copy itself, what is that thing going to do?
03:05:16.000And they also don't know how it works, right?
03:05:19.000Like, I watched that 60 Minutes interview with that sort of godfather of AI, or whatever they consider him, like the guy who first created the biggest component of it, and he says, we don't, the layers thing, and then he was like, they don't know how it works.
