The Joe Rogan Experience - Joe Rogan Experience #2270 - Bridget Phetasy

00:00:00.000 The Joe Rogan experience Train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night all day Rock horse This thing is no one's happy with just being like a little successful You get a little successful and then they want to get more Is that everyone though?

00:00:21.000 I don't know.

00:00:21.000 Is that you Bridget?

00:00:22.000 I'm I'm I'm a little successful That's it.

00:00:26.000 And I'm happy.

00:00:27.000 Yeah.

00:00:27.000 It's like, I don't know.

00:00:29.000 You just gotta find...

00:00:31.000 Why are you doing it?

00:00:32.000 You don't want to just be on a hamster wheel.

00:00:34.000 Well, I think it's easy to get lost in chasing more.

00:00:38.000 I'm an addict, so I try to stay away from analytics and all that stuff because I can become hyper-focused and obsessed with them.

00:00:48.000 Well, right.

00:00:49.000 And one of the reasons that after I did...

00:00:53.000 Who was it?

00:00:53.000 I was opening for Landau, and we would go out and just talk to the people after the show, and they were like, oh my gosh, I love Walken's Welcome, I love Dumpster Fire, and it was such a good reminder that...

00:01:06.000 You get, like, chasing numbers, and it was like, oh, no, these are not just numbers.

00:01:11.000 They're people, unless you're, like, buying bots.

00:01:13.000 But I think it can be easy to just get on that hamster wheel and start being like, we need more.

00:01:19.000 We need more downloads.

00:01:20.000 We need more and more and more, and then you forget.

00:01:24.000 And I never want to take the audience we have for granted.

00:01:28.000 Yeah.

00:01:28.000 You know, like, they're amazing.

00:01:31.000 Some of these people have been with me for...

00:01:34.000 Forever.

00:01:34.000 That's kind of the key to it all, right?

00:01:36.000 It sounds so corny because it's such a new wellness way of looking at things.

00:01:42.000 Have gratitude.

00:01:44.000 But gratitude is very important.

00:01:46.000 It's really important to be thankful for what you have.

00:01:49.000 Yeah, and it was one of the key things in getting sober.

00:01:54.000 I think when I've dealt with anxiety, depression, other things in my life, gratitude is a powerful mechanism for shifting your Your perspective because you can get into that feeling of like not being enough, not having enough, not...

00:02:11.000 Yeah.

00:02:11.000 It never being enough.

00:02:13.000 Brian Callen was telling me about his buddy who's a billionaire.

00:02:16.000 His buddy's worth like $3 billion and he feels like he's poor because he's friends with people who have $100 billion.

00:02:23.000 Yeah.

00:02:24.000 Like, imagine.

00:02:24.000 No, I mean, this, when I was dating this very wealthy guy who is, like, probably half of a billionaire, you know, like 500 millionaire, and we were in Saint-Tropez, and he felt poor.

00:02:40.000 I remember being, I remember it so vividly.

00:02:43.000 I was in the shower, and he loved me because I was, like, this, like, poor backpacker that was, like... 0.56

00:02:50.000 Bohemian.

00:02:50.000 Yeah, he's like, look at this entertaining...

00:02:52.000 She's an artist.

00:02:54.000 He wanted me to be like his pet monkey that came around and just made him laugh. 0.99

00:02:59.000 And I gave him shit, and I think guys like that are used to be... 0.99

00:03:02.000 You get surrounded by yes-men, too, at a certain... 1.00

00:03:04.000 Oh, yeah, for sure.

00:03:05.000 And you don't have people taking the piss out of you, and so I would make fun of him for his boring stories about his mattresses, that people would sit there...

00:03:12.000 I'm like, why are you guys listening to this guy talk about a mattress for an hour?

00:03:16.000 And...

00:03:17.000 He was, I was in the shower and he was talking about how he and his friends got together and he's like, you know, we sat around and we were talking and there's a certain level at which you can be happy no matter what.

00:03:31.000 And I thought I had been rubbing off on him.

00:03:34.000 Like, oh, my yogi spirituality is rubbing off on him.

00:03:38.000 What did he get to like $10 billion?

00:03:39.000 No, he goes, and it's $250 million.

00:03:42.000 I was like, what?

00:03:45.000 I'm crying.

00:03:51.000 The rest of us, Schwartz, by the way.

00:03:54.000 That's so funny. 0.51

00:03:54.000 Like, I'm sitting there in his Carrera Marvel freaking shower. 0.51

00:03:58.000 Imagine the thought that the only way you could ever be happy is with $250 million.

00:04:04.000 That's the minimum. 1.00

00:04:05.000 By the way, I know some people worth $250 million that are miserable as fuck. 1.00

00:04:09.000 Yeah, no. 0.99

00:04:10.000 It's not going to do it.

00:04:11.000 It's not.

00:04:11.000 It's not going to do it at all.

00:04:13.000 It's like, I'm sorry, where does that leave people like me?

00:04:17.000 No.

00:04:17.000 Donut.

00:04:18.000 You need, I think you need a few things.

00:04:21.000 You need your health above and all.

00:04:23.000 Yeah, it doesn't matter how much you are.

00:04:24.000 You have to have your health.

00:04:24.000 That's number one.

00:04:26.000 Number two is you have to have friends. 0.99

00:04:27.000 If you're just like the man and everybody's kissing your ass and you're the head of this giant business and you live in a bubble, you're not happy. 0.99

00:04:38.000 That's not happy. 0.99

00:04:39.000 Happy is you have to have colleagues.

00:04:41.000 You have to have companions, comrades.

00:04:44.000 You have people that you're like them.

00:04:46.000 You get to hang together and go to dinner and laugh and hug each other.

00:04:51.000 Have fun.

00:04:52.000 Enjoy your life.

00:04:54.000 I was thinking about even the other night in the green room.

00:04:57.000 It's like everyone takes the piss out of each other. 0.98

00:05:00.000 It doesn't fucking matter what level you're at, who you are. 1.00

00:05:04.000 Everybody's talking shit. 1.00

00:05:05.000 It keeps everybody... 1.00

00:05:07.000 It doesn't matter. 1.00

00:05:08.000 You can walk out that door and be very famous, but in that room, it's just comedians talking shit. 0.99

00:05:14.000 It's a beautiful environment to keep your head straight. 0.99

00:05:18.000 It's necessary, I think, too.

00:05:21.000 Even though you might think you want...

00:05:23.000 Yes men all around you. 0.98

00:05:26.000 I think what I've learned even just from being around rich guys who I talk a lot of shit to is they don't really want that. 0.98

00:05:34.000 No. 0.99

00:05:34.000 It's uncomfortable. 0.99

00:05:36.000 You don't want yes men around you. 1.00

00:05:38.000 You want people that are making fun of you.

00:05:39.000 And also, you need people to push back.

00:05:43.000 I think it also depends on what is your personality.

00:05:46.000 Some people are, like, very deeply, deeply insecure, and they really almost desire yes-men just to maintain stability.

00:05:53.000 Some people are very weird, you know?

00:05:55.000 And you don't know it because their public face is that they're normal. 1.00

00:06:00.000 You know, their public face when they're getting interviewed, they know how to, like, turn it on for five minutes, but then when you're around them all day, you know, they're fucking crazy people. 0.98

00:06:08.000 Which is why they're successful in the first place, which is really weird. 0.98

00:06:11.000 It's like, what got you the dance is... 0.96

00:06:13.000 Literally, mental illness.

00:06:14.000 I was talking to, I think Malice came on my podcast recently.

00:06:18.000 He's the best.

00:06:20.000 He's the best.

00:06:21.000 One of my best friends, truly.

00:06:22.000 Is he doing stand-up now?

00:06:23.000 I hope he does.

00:06:24.000 I heard he's doing stand-up.

00:06:25.000 I heard he's going to do stand-up or he's planning on doing stand-up.

00:06:28.000 He wants to, but here's the thing.

00:06:30.000 He probably has to do it at Mothership.

00:06:32.000 Like, he can't be at an open mic where somebody's going to record.

00:06:36.000 Oh, yeah.

00:06:37.000 He could totally do Mothership Over Mike.

00:06:39.000 Okay, so we're going to make that happen.

00:06:41.000 Sunday and Monday nights.

00:06:41.000 Yeah, that's what I said.

00:06:42.000 I was like, talk to Joe.

00:06:43.000 Oh, I'd let him go up and do a guest spot on one of my shows. 1.00

00:06:46.000 Fuck it. 1.00

00:06:47.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:06:48.000 He's funny, man.

00:06:49.000 Yeah, he is. 0.98

00:06:49.000 He's fucking funny. 0.98

00:06:51.000 When he said that, you know, that viral clip when, you know, you're an ableist. 0.99

00:06:58.000 Yes.

00:06:58.000 And I'm like, an ableist?

00:07:00.000 He's like, she's a retard. 1.00

00:07:01.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:07:02.000 He's so quick.

00:07:03.000 Oh, his timing is excellent.

00:07:06.000 He's such a smart guy.

00:07:07.000 Except when it comes to the whole anarchy thing.

00:07:11.000 We don't need cops. 1.00

00:07:12.000 I'm like, listen, bitch, you need a cop just to keep me from you. 1.00

00:07:15.000 What are you talking about? 1.00

00:07:16.000 What are you talking about?

00:07:17.000 You don't need cops.

00:07:18.000 What are you talking about? 1.00

00:07:19.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00

00:07:20.000 You need cops. 1.00

00:07:20.000 But he was saying... 1.00

00:07:22.000 You need cops! 0.90

00:07:22.000 Yeah. 0.90

00:07:23.000 I don't want to hear that nonsense.

00:07:24.000 No, I mean...

00:07:25.000 I don't want to hear that no law and order nonsense. 1.00

00:07:27.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00

00:07:27.000 I just am like, where are you in this hierarchy? 1.00

00:07:30.000 Yeah, you're dead. 1.00

00:07:31.000 You're dead. 1.00

00:07:32.000 I'm going to steal your food on day one. 1.00

00:07:33.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00

00:07:34.000 First round of The Purge, you're a god. 1.00

00:07:37.000 What the fuck is wrong with you? 1.00

00:07:39.000 You need cops. 1.00

00:07:41.000 I feel like I'm at least second round of The Purge.

00:07:44.000 Are you armed?

00:07:45.000 Yeah.

00:07:45.000 Well, that's important.

00:07:46.000 At least second.

00:07:48.000 Do you know how to use it?

00:07:49.000 Yeah.

00:07:49.000 Do you train?

00:07:50.000 I do, yeah.

00:07:52.000 That's good.

00:07:53.000 I don't want to be one of those like...

00:07:54.000 I taught my kids how to shoot when they were very young.

00:07:58.000 Yeah, I think you, yeah.

00:08:00.000 You gotta teach them firearm safety, you know, how never have your finger on the trigger unless you're trying to shoot something.

00:08:05.000 Yeah.

00:08:06.000 Ever, you know, ever.

00:08:07.000 Don't hold the gun with your finger on the trigger.

00:08:09.000 Always point it away, even if it's not loaded.

00:08:11.000 Point it away from people.

00:08:12.000 Point it at the ground.

00:08:13.000 Point it away.

00:08:14.000 If people around, point it in a direction where there's no human beings.

00:08:17.000 Yeah.

00:08:18.000 You know, understand.

00:08:19.000 Always check and see.

00:08:20.000 Yeah, always check and see there's not a bullet in the chamber.

00:08:22.000 This is how you rack it.

00:08:23.000 This is how you do it.

00:08:24.000 Yeah.

00:08:25.000 It's like...

00:08:26.000 You should know how to use them.

00:08:27.000 Just because if, God forbid, something ever happens that's horrible, your house gets broken into, and you know...

00:08:34.000 Yeah.

00:08:34.000 You have the ability to preserve your life.

00:08:37.000 My fear was always that I'd be in a situation, like in the movies, where somebody's wrestling with someone and then they kick the gun over and I'm the girl standing there and I'm like...

00:08:46.000 What are these buttons and switches and the magazine pops out? 0.98

00:08:51.000 out like fuck and you pull the trigger but he's not around and then there is and I accidentally shoot the hero Oh, that happens. 1.00

00:09:03.000 That happens. 1.00

00:09:04.000 People panic.

00:09:05.000 If you're not used to high-pressure situations and you expect to be able to shoot somebody, Jesus Christ.

00:09:11.000 Oh, so malice. 0.96

00:09:12.000 Anyway, the reason I brought him up, he was talking about how many, he didn't realize how many people in podcasting were mentally ill.

00:09:21.000 Well, in everything.

00:09:22.000 But yeah, and everything. 1.00

00:09:23.000 But podcasting for sure because while there's a lot of people that aren't performers that are in podcasting, I think they're even more mentally ill because those are the people that are like deep in the fucking social media comments all day and seeing people shit on them and they're out of their fucking minds. 0.99

00:09:37.000 There's a bunch of them that are just off the road. 0.99

00:09:40.000 They fight all day.

00:09:41.000 They fight all day with each other, and you see them over the years get progressively more and more insane and more and more aggressive to each other.

00:09:49.000 It seems exhausting.

00:09:52.000 Also, who has time for that?

00:09:54.000 I don't understand.

00:09:55.000 Not just exhausting, but detrimental.

00:09:57.000 It's a tremendous waste of resources.

00:09:59.000 It's really bad for you mentally.

00:10:02.000 Your own mindset, it's bad if you're in conflict with someone all the time.

00:10:06.000 Especially if you could have avoided it.

00:10:09.000 You don't admire yourself if you're doing that.

00:10:11.000 There's no way.

00:10:12.000 You're like, hey, I'm on the right track. 0.99

00:10:13.000 There's no fucking way. 0.99

00:10:15.000 There's no way. 1.00

00:10:16.000 You know you're a retarded. 1.00

00:10:17.000 They might be feeling like they're on the right track. 0.99

00:10:19.000 I mean, I think Elon's monetized it now, though.

00:10:24.000 So these guys who are in the comments fighting, they're making two, three grand a month doing it.

00:10:30.000 That's a good point.

00:10:31.000 That's a different thing, right?

00:10:32.000 How much are people, like, what's the highest earner on X? Like, how much can you make?

00:10:36.000 It's so random.

00:10:37.000 People are making livings.

00:10:39.000 I think you have to be on it constantly.

00:10:41.000 Right.

00:10:41.000 And some people make a lot of money.

00:10:44.000 When I see them post what they're making, I'm like, holy crap, how are you?

00:10:47.000 Like, how much?

00:10:47.000 I don't know, and it seems to be people who kind of Elon will, like, boost.

00:10:52.000 Yeah, he'll, like, turn the eye of Sauron upon them, and suddenly, like, they are, but it's very mercurial, you know, it seems.

00:11:00.000 Seems like it can change on a dime.

00:11:02.000 Well, a lot of people post things that are just not true, and Elon reposts them.

00:11:06.000 All the time!

00:11:08.000 He uses social media like we do.

00:11:10.000 I think I do more fact-checking than he does.

00:11:13.000 Yeah, he doesn't have the time, first of all.

00:11:16.000 Give the guy a break.

00:11:17.000 He's running, like, government programs along with SpaceX, along with Tesla.

00:11:22.000 I will cut him some slack, but also, with great power comes great responsibility.

00:11:27.000 You have more followers than anyone on that entire site, and you're going to boost, like, Russian propaganda?

00:11:35.000 Yeah, that was one, right?

00:11:36.000 That fake talk show?

00:11:38.000 Yeah.

00:11:38.000 There was a fake talk show that he boosted.

00:11:41.000 The other thing that we should probably tell people is that Politico thing is not true.

00:11:45.000 No, I know.

00:11:46.000 The $8 million thing.

00:11:47.000 The $8 million is $8 million from all the government organizations from 2016 to 2024. So it's an eight-year period.

00:11:55.000 And then there's some kind of wacky premium subscription that you can get from Politico that allows you instantaneous access to the news.

00:12:04.000 You're not just reading the articles.

00:12:06.000 You're getting the news feeds.

00:12:08.000 I don't know.

00:12:08.000 Well, it's a lot of places where there is...

00:12:12.000 I'm of two minds of this.

00:12:14.000 I think we need to be accurate because we do live in a time where it's almost like people don't care about truth at all.

00:12:23.000 They're like, oh, whatever.

00:12:25.000 It doesn't matter.

00:12:28.000 It's indifference to it, which is not great.

00:12:32.000 But I do think...

00:12:34.000 Like, you should care about your own credibility at some point, but people get rewarded for being shameless so that you can just keep going.

00:12:42.000 The Politico thing is weird because, yes, a lot of the stuff that's going out right now on all of these, like, deep dives that people are doing, they're viral, they're mostly, many of them are fake, but also, the...

00:12:58.000 Why is any taxpayer dollar...

00:13:00.000 It should be zero dollars, right?

00:13:02.000 That's going to this stuff.

00:13:04.000 The person to search is Mike Benz.

00:13:06.000 Go to the Mike Benz Cyber.

00:13:08.000 Is it Mike Benz Cyber?

00:13:10.000 I think that's it, right?

00:13:11.000 His X page.

00:13:13.000 Mike Benz.

00:13:14.000 He's been on this forever.

00:13:15.000 Forever.

00:13:16.000 Yeah.

00:13:16.000 Former State Department guy.

00:13:18.000 And he uncovered all this bullshit while he was there. 0.95

00:13:21.000 And he is insanely knowledgeable and insanely articulate and so good at expressing exactly how these things fund things and what it is. 0.98

00:13:30.000 And what it is is...

00:13:33.000 An enormous slush fund.

00:13:35.000 Yeah.

00:13:35.000 That's what it is.

00:13:36.000 And unaccountability and money just coming and going and flowing.

00:13:41.000 And circular.

00:13:42.000 Uh-huh.

00:13:42.000 All circular.

00:13:43.000 Donating to the Democrats.

00:13:45.000 The United States government funds them.

00:13:47.000 They donate to the Democratic Party.

00:13:48.000 The whole thing is wild.

00:13:51.000 And people can sense this.

00:13:53.000 This is why when they're saying, oh, it's like...

00:13:56.000 You can sense that there's been a misappropriation of our money, of taxpayer dollars.

00:14:02.000 You know there's fraud and Medicare and Medicaid.

00:14:06.000 The American people have sensed this and they feel like there's corruption, but I think they've just hopelessly kind of surrendered because I'm a middle-class mom who works, who has a kid, who, like...

00:14:19.000 Who has time to fight this?

00:14:22.000 You don't have time to pay attention.

00:14:24.000 No!

00:14:24.000 How do you have time to fight it?

00:14:25.000 No, no.

00:14:26.000 And people are just trying to survive and get through the day.

00:14:30.000 But you know.

00:14:32.000 You have this sense.

00:14:33.000 So I can see the excitement of people, Elon, what he's doing.

00:14:40.000 It shouldn't be controversial to want to audit our budget.

00:14:46.000 No.

00:14:46.000 Americans have wanted this forever.

00:14:48.000 Because it's not just the money being spent.

00:14:49.000 It's what it's being spent for and what's going on, which is an enormous propaganda machine.

00:14:56.000 Like, a big part of the whole left-wing narrative that has, like, overlaid our country over the last... 0.93

00:15:03.000 Whatever eight years ten years is all propaganda funded by our own government This is why Trump won the election people don't really believe in these things the amount of people that think that transgender Biological males should be competing against your daughter in sports is so fucking small, but yet our own government was propping it up. 0.66

00:15:29.000 And why are they propping it up? 0.99

00:15:30.000 Because it's a fucking beach ball at a concert. 0.99

00:15:32.000 You keep it tossing up in the air and everybody's distracted. 0.99

00:15:35.000 As long as you can keep a few things going, here's the things you're going to keep going.

00:15:40.000 Abortion, right? 0.99

00:15:42.000 Overturning Roe v.

00:15:43.000 Wade is so great for business.

00:15:45.000 Yeah.

00:15:45.000 Because now it's like a battle, the battlegrounds and women's rights and their lives are at stake.

00:15:50.000 Okay, that's one. 0.76

00:15:51.000 Gay marriage. 0.91

00:15:52.000 That's a huge one. 0.88

00:15:52.000 Now they're going to take away gay marriage. 0.88

00:15:54.000 Oh my God. 1.00

00:15:55.000 Bounce that fucking beach ball. 1.00

00:15:57.000 That's a gigantic one. 1.00

00:15:58.000 War is a giant one. 1.00

00:16:00.000 All these different things are just fucking beach balls. 0.99

00:16:02.000 And they toss them around every now and again. 0.99

00:16:05.000 In the meanwhile, they're just siphoning billions of dollars.

00:16:10.000 Zelensky just said he's missing $100 billion in the $177 billion that we supposedly sent there.

00:16:16.000 That was something weird, too, about Haiti, where it's like only 2% of the money actually went there.

00:16:22.000 It's great.

00:16:23.000 You know, Americans give away a lot of their hard-earned money because they are actually kind-hearted and want to donate.

00:16:30.000 And then you find out it's like some trans performance. 0.96

00:16:34.000 There is a lot of nonsense. 0.99

00:16:36.000 A lot of nonsense. 0.97

00:16:37.000 In the tombs of hundreds of millions of dollars of nonsense.

00:16:40.000 And then they talk about it like, oh, who cares?

00:16:43.000 It's only $10 billion.

00:16:45.000 You're like... 0.99

00:16:46.000 You guys are out of your fucking minds if you think that's going to be the argument that resonates with Americans. 0.99

00:16:52.000 Not only that, how are you going to say that? 1.00

00:16:54.000 Who cares if they're pointing out $10 billion?

00:16:56.000 Because they'll be like, oh, look at the trillions over here.

00:16:59.000 But all of those billions add up.

00:17:02.000 Like, how are you even saying that?

00:17:04.000 And it's the other...

00:17:05.000 I'm grateful that you had me on MAGA State Media.

00:17:13.000 Thank you for allowing me.

00:17:17.000 Because I see it all the time.

00:17:19.000 All the time.

00:17:22.000 And it's hilarious to me in light of how much money goes to funding.

00:17:28.000 Sponsored by Pfizer.

00:17:30.000 You know, all of these other... 0.98

00:17:32.000 The fucking audacity to accuse you who just has people you like on your podcast to suddenly be state media when you literally have had state media working with the state in conjunction for... 0.98

00:17:50.000 A decade. 0.99

00:17:51.000 Yeah, at least.

00:17:52.000 And probably a lot longer than that.

00:17:54.000 Multiple decades.

00:17:54.000 It's just gotten really gross once...

00:17:56.000 Well, Trump is just sort of like the accelerant.

00:18:00.000 He was the gasoline that got thrown in the fire, so we got to see how this thing works.

00:18:04.000 I voted for him.

00:18:05.000 I did, too.

00:18:06.000 I came out...

00:18:07.000 Well, openly.

00:18:07.000 I endorsed him.

00:18:09.000 I was like, this has got to stop.

00:18:11.000 This is crazy.

00:18:12.000 Also, he's not what you guys said he was.

00:18:14.000 He's just not.

00:18:15.000 I put a video out the Friday before the election because I voted for him early.

00:18:22.000 And I was Hillary in 2016, no one in 2020, and...

00:18:27.000 Trump in 2024. So I don't care how people vote.

00:18:31.000 Do whatever you want.

00:18:33.000 I was only being honest.

00:18:34.000 And it was weird to come out and say that as a comedian because I don't think that comedians should really be political.

00:18:43.000 But on the other hand, it felt dishonest because I had been so openly kind of torn about voting for him.

00:18:50.000 Well, also, if you're a comedian, you have to protect free speech.

00:18:53.000 Yeah.

00:18:54.000 There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it when it comes to this argument. 0.97

00:18:58.000 The Biden administration was fucking terrifying for free speech. 0.85

00:19:02.000 They were actively attacking people that were posting truth on social media and attacking them and trying to get their posts removed, including... 0.98

00:19:14.000 The guy who was the one who was quoted in this fucking book about Kamala Harris, saying that we made it difficult for her to come on the show, and they told an untrue story about having a bunch of people come down here and run through the set like they were ready to do it. 0.99

00:19:30.000 All bullshit. 0.99

00:19:31.000 That was the guy. 0.98

00:19:32.000 He was the guy that was emailing Twitter and saying, how is this post being super aggressive, saying, why is this post still up?

00:19:39.000 Oh, you mean that truthful post?

00:19:40.000 Yeah.

00:19:41.000 About vaccine injuries and side effects? 1.00

00:19:43.000 What the fuck are you talking about? 0.99

00:19:45.000 That was getting very scary. 1.00

00:19:47.000 Yeah, this is what I said in the video I made about why I voted for him.

00:19:50.000 I was like, there's a couple things.

00:19:51.000 I've interviewed many detransitioners. 1.00

00:19:53.000 Those interviews keep me up at night.

00:19:56.000 They haunt me.

00:19:58.000 Too many of them already, and one is too many.

00:20:01.000 And I think a lot of Americans were like, we're putting a stop to this.

00:20:06.000 We have to stop this nonsense.

00:20:07.000 It's crazy. 0.96

00:20:08.000 We're sterilizing children.

00:20:10.000 The other thing is free speech.

00:20:12.000 And I was like, you know, when we're talking in our weird, like, using that crazy YouTube language you have to use, like, unalived, and you're saying, like, the jib-jab or whatever, like, to get around, that's coming from one side.

00:20:26.000 100%.

00:20:26.000 I'm not using...

00:20:28.000 I think it's coming from one side because that one side is in power.

00:20:31.000 That's my fear.

00:20:32.000 My fear is if the other side was in power and they were influenced by the same amount of money from these companies, they might be doing it too.

00:20:38.000 So if the right was in control of all the social media companies, are we so naive that we think that they wouldn't be co-opted by giant corporations and they would want to censor them too?

00:20:49.000 What happened was it was all the left.

00:20:52.000 So the tech people who are, you know, generally they go to universities and they get involved in a Electronics and technology.

00:20:59.000 These people are generally left-leaning, right?

00:21:02.000 And if they're doing it in San Francisco, well, the whole culture is left-leaning.

00:21:05.000 It's like not even leaning.

00:21:06.000 It's just left, right? 1.00

00:21:07.000 If you're a pariah, if you wear a MAGA hat in San Francisco, you're a fucking... 1.00

00:21:12.000 Maybe today. 1.00

00:21:13.000 I think you can wear them now.

00:21:15.000 I bet today you can.

00:21:15.000 Yeah, in New York, too.

00:21:17.000 I think you can rock them.

00:21:18.000 But back when they were establishing these social media platforms, everybody was left-wing.

00:21:22.000 Well, what if it was the opposite?

00:21:24.000 What if technology was the realm of the right?

00:21:26.000 And what if it was all...

00:21:28.000 What if, like, the gay rights, what if you start thinking about it in terms of, like, biblical law?

00:21:34.000 You know, like, a man layeth with a man, and people start getting real crazy about what gay people- They might. 0.97

00:21:39.000 That might be the next ten years.

00:21:40.000 Look, you see it in other- I don't think so.

00:21:43.000 I know, I'm just kidding.

00:21:43.000 But that's the good thing.

00:21:44.000 Trump is not conservative when it comes to social issues.

00:21:48.000 He's not.

00:21:49.000 I think that's what we need. 1.00

00:21:51.000 We need, like, a realist, someone who's, like, conservative fiscally and understands foreign policy and how to deal with- Fucking dictators and shit? 1.00

00:22:00.000 But also someone who's like, I don't give a fuck who you love. 1.00

00:22:03.000 Who cares? 0.99

00:22:04.000 Who cares?

00:22:04.000 I'm happy if you're happy.

00:22:06.000 Are you in love with a woman and you're a woman? 0.62

00:22:08.000 Fantastic.

00:22:09.000 If you're in love, that's great.

00:22:11.000 Yeah, I think the argument, though, I mean, as you've seen with some of these articles that are like, the right-wing ecosystem that red-pilled all these men, the argument is that the internet is right-wing.

00:22:22.000 And that this is why Trump won, is because all of these influencers are red-pilling people. 0.53

00:22:29.000 It's an easy way to not take any responsibility for how you've pushed men away from your party, how you've failed to...

00:22:38.000 Get moderates in any sense of the way.

00:22:41.000 Even just yesterday you had the Trump photo op with him signing the rights for women to compete against just women.

00:22:50.000 How did you lose that?

00:22:52.000 He's the big feminist. 1.00

00:22:54.000 Donald Trump's the biggest feminist president ever just by signing that thing. 1.00

00:22:57.000 Yeah, I know.

00:22:58.000 It's just so funny.

00:23:00.000 It's so crazy.

00:23:02.000 There was a guy who went on, it was MSNBC or CNN, I forget what it was, but he was essentially talking about Me and Theo Vaughn and all these other podcasts like Flagrant, Andrew Schultz, as if this is this massive right-wing network that's heavily funded and has been built up over years and we don't have anything like that. 1.00

00:23:25.000 You fucking idiot. 1.00

00:23:27.000 You can go and watch me on a laptop in my fucking den from 15, 16 years ago. 1.00

00:23:34.000 It sounds like it's funny to think of what AG1 is behind this. 0.98

00:23:38.000 Yeah, we're hitting a bong and our only sponsor was the Fleshlight. 1.00

00:23:42.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00

00:23:45.000 You just don't want to admit that organically there's a bunch of people that feel very different than you. 1.00

00:23:50.000 Also, they don't like you.

00:23:53.000 Yeah.

00:23:54.000 You don't represent a man to a lot of men.

00:23:57.000 When you're one of those guys that talks in upspeak, we have to understand that there's a whole right-wing ecosystem.

00:24:04.000 And it's heavily funded.

00:24:06.000 And the propaganda that they're pushing, we have to fight back against that.

00:24:09.000 And we need someone of our own. 0.99

00:24:11.000 And like, no fucking kid who's on a basketball court who's 17 years old is looking at his phone. 0.98

00:24:16.000 It's like looking at going to college next year and looking at getting a job someday and being a man. 1.00

00:24:22.000 I was looking at that going what the fuck is this? 1.00

00:24:25.000 Yeah, and he's hanging out with his bros and they're like what this is fucking bullshit. 1.00

00:24:29.000 This is bullshit And then you could see a man who's not owned. 1.00

00:24:33.000 Yeah, like me. 0.99

00:24:34.000 Yeah, I'm not owned I can do whatever I want and that's what they want They want to just be a man and be a nice man.

00:24:40.000 You could be a nice man You could be a masculine man and be nice.

00:24:44.000 I've said this a lot about you is that you like they you do a lot You could be a way worse version of yourself. 0.69

00:24:55.000 With the level of where you're at, you could be a total douchebag and you're promoting having families and promoting lifting weights.

00:25:05.000 It could be a lot worse.

00:25:06.000 Yeah, but I couldn't because it wouldn't work.

00:25:08.000 I wouldn't stay.

00:25:10.000 I wouldn't have been able to maintain.

00:25:12.000 People would have seen through it eventually. 0.99

00:25:14.000 The JRE coin, I would have fucking cashed out. 0.99

00:25:18.000 I'll fucking pump and dump and made a few billion dollars. 0.99

00:25:21.000 I'll be on a yacht with Bezos fucking partying. 1.00

00:25:24.000 Woo! 0.99

00:25:25.000 See, this is my question.

00:25:27.000 I was watching the inauguration and I was seeing all the kind of tech people and I was like, this is somewhat unsettling.

00:25:35.000 I mean, it's good to see the tech has come around to not...

00:25:40.000 They have to.

00:25:41.000 But it also...

00:25:44.000 I worry that it's just because they want to get into China.

00:25:48.000 I still worry about that much power with the government.

00:25:55.000 For all the yelling we've been doing about tech in cahoots with the government, I still think I have to try and be like, this...

00:26:03.000 Could go sideways.

00:26:05.000 Well, also, they have to look at it in terms of, like, what Elon is doing, right?

00:26:09.000 So if Elon has aligned himself clearly in a huge way with the right and now is running Doge, right, the Department of Government Efficiency, and also has X, that he's turning X into a platform that rivals not just social media platforms, but video platforms like YouTube.

00:26:27.000 Like, they get insane amounts of videos, of views, rather, on videos that are on X. And then you can get paid.

00:26:32.000 Yeah.

00:26:34.000 And then they're talking about having some sort of like ex-monetary system.

00:26:39.000 Doesn't WeChat have something like that?

00:26:40.000 They have money built into it? 1.00

00:26:42.000 So what's to stop that motherfucker from having a phone? 1.00

00:26:44.000 I keep asking him. 1.00

00:26:45.000 I said, dude, I've been seeing all these articles about you making a phone.

00:26:49.000 He goes, I hope I don't have to make a phone.

00:26:50.000 It's very difficult to make a phone.

00:26:51.000 He said he wants to make a phone.

00:26:53.000 No, he didn't.

00:26:54.000 Well, he's polled.

00:26:55.000 Would people buy a phone if he made one? 1.00

00:26:57.000 Yeah, just to fuck around. 0.99

00:26:58.000 But he's not interested in making a phone. 1.00

00:27:00.000 He doesn't want to make a phone. 0.72

00:27:01.000 Every time Elon fucks around, it ends up happening. 0.96

00:27:03.000 He could make a phone. 0.95

00:27:04.000 He would be the only guy that would break us out of the blue bubble paradigm.

00:27:08.000 I was switching to Android for a while. 0.98

00:27:10.000 I was fucking around with Android. 0.98

00:27:12.000 It's hard. 0.99

00:27:13.000 It's really hard.

00:27:14.000 One of the hard things is getting people to start using WhatsApp or something like that.

00:27:17.000 People just don't want to use it.

00:27:19.000 You miss a lot of text.

00:27:20.000 Aren't they getting sued for the blue bubble?

00:27:23.000 I think they are in Europe.

00:27:24.000 No, I believe...

00:27:27.000 Is it just in Europe?

00:27:28.000 I thought it was part of an antitrust lawsuit.

00:27:31.000 It's just better.

00:27:32.000 Here's the thing.

00:27:33.000 It's not that it keeps people, but it's just better.

00:27:38.000 It looks better.

00:27:39.000 The blue bubble looks better than the green bubble.

00:27:41.000 It's more...

00:27:42.000 Soothing.

00:27:43.000 It's soothing for your eyes.

00:27:44.000 Yeah.

00:27:45.000 If the green one had black text, maybe it would look cool, but the green one with white text, it's a little weird.

00:27:50.000 I don't like the way it looks.

00:27:52.000 And every time there's like a green bubble person in a group chat and they send a picture, it's like, get the phone.

00:27:56.000 Not anymore, though.

00:27:57.000 Not anymore.

00:27:57.000 Oh, okay.

00:27:57.000 Because RCS texting, it allows for large sizes of files.

00:28:03.000 Oh, okay.

00:28:03.000 So you don't have to have a compressed photo.

00:28:06.000 So like Brian Simpson, who's an Android guy, he'll send me pictures now.

00:28:10.000 They look perfect.

00:28:10.000 Oh, okay.

00:28:11.000 Yeah, videos are perfect. 0.97

00:28:12.000 We have one sister, and we're always like, get the fuck out of the chat. 0.97

00:28:16.000 You're screwing things up. 0.99

00:28:17.000 It doesn't anymore. 0.98

00:28:18.000 But just go on WhatsApp, which is better anyway, because you can talk a lot of shit, and they just have it automatically delete.

00:28:24.000 Yeah, but it doesn't really delete, does it? 0.96

00:28:26.000 It doesn't, but it does.

00:28:28.000 So it does off of people's phones.

00:28:29.000 It doesn't for the government.

00:28:31.000 The reality is, the government...

00:28:33.000 It has access to phones in a way that you can't even imagine.

00:28:37.000 Because if we know about Pegasus, and then we know about Pegasus 2. Gavin DeBecker, who's a security expert, explained to me these things and explained to me how they work.

00:28:48.000 And the exploit of Pegasus 1 was you would have to click on a link.

00:28:51.000 Pegasus 2, they just need your phone number.

00:28:53.000 That's it.

00:28:54.000 So all your encryption is all cute.

00:28:56.000 That's great.

00:28:57.000 But if they can actually see your phone itself, what difference does it make if it's encrypted?

00:29:01.000 They have access to the phone.

00:29:02.000 So they see everything.

00:29:03.000 So there's no privacy.

00:29:05.000 Yeah, no.

00:29:06.000 Not from the state.

00:29:07.000 Not.

00:29:08.000 I mean, and given how many things I get, like, that I'm being hacked, like, you know, I get a notice every day, like, your information!

00:29:17.000 Yeah, I get that all the time.

00:29:18.000 I've been getting these fake ones on X. Saying that my account is about to get deleted.

00:29:24.000 I'm like, bro, I'll just call my friend.

00:29:27.000 I hate deleting my account. 1.00

00:29:29.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00

00:29:31.000 But it's trying to get you to click on a link. 1.00

00:29:33.000 And a few of my friends have actually been dumbasses and clicked on that link and then they get hacked. 0.52

00:29:38.000 Yeah, and then they're like selling Bitcoin on their page or whatever. 0.56

00:29:42.000 Yeah, they do it to artists too.

00:29:43.000 My friend Suzanne, she was doing, Suzanne Santo, talented, amazing musician.

00:29:48.000 She was doing this Facebook thing and it was a podcast and they had you know Should do it like over zoom or whatever and the guy said you're not doing it right Can I can I have access to your account and I'll just set it up for you?

00:30:04.000 Just sign this and he sent her this message so she could hand over access so he could set up and then immediately went dark stole her account gone Yeah, like that Did she get it back?

00:30:16.000 Yeah, she got it back.

00:30:17.000 She got it back. 1.00

00:30:18.000 Some friends would suck. 1.00

00:30:20.000 She was fucked. 1.00

00:30:22.000 Your IT support. 1.00

00:30:22.000 And it happens to a lot of people. 1.00

00:30:24.000 They accidentally click a link.

00:30:27.000 I don't click. 0.76

00:30:28.000 Shoot.

00:30:29.000 No, no, no. 0.99

00:30:30.000 But I'm also not under the illusion that every fucking disgusting meme that I send to my friends is not being put into a file somewhere. 0.97

00:30:37.000 In the UK. Everywhere. 0.98

00:30:40.000 You land and they're like, you're under arrest, sir.

00:30:42.000 Yeah, probably, right?

00:30:43.000 Yeah, probably.

00:30:44.000 What do you think about the AI influencers now?

00:30:47.000 Do you think that will be just the trend or do you think we're giving you that look?

00:30:51.000 Yeah.

00:30:52.000 I'm not talking about the one.

00:30:54.000 That one?

00:30:57.000 The really hot Down syndrome, girl.

00:31:01.000 That's a problem.

00:31:02.000 That one's a problem.

00:31:03.000 Because she's like barely Down Syndrome. 1.00

00:31:06.000 I mean, I've dated some girls who are basically retarded. 1.00

00:31:08.000 But they just didn't have a problem. 0.52

00:31:10.000 They didn't have a chromosome issue.

00:31:11.000 So wait, I haven't...

00:31:12.000 This has not entered my algorithm, but it seems like it's entered everyone else's algorithm.

00:31:17.000 I'm 90% sure it's fake.

00:31:18.000 Because these girls, they don't... 1.00

00:31:20.000 Like, unfortunately, Down Syndrome people, their bodies a lot of times look different. 1.00

00:31:25.000 And this girl looks like a 10. She looks like... 1.00

00:31:29.000 You know, just like as hot as can be.

00:31:31.000 Okay.

00:31:32.000 She looks like she's fake. 1.00

00:31:33.000 And she's dancing around with these big giant boobs. 1.00

00:31:36.000 And she's got slight downs with glasses on. 0.97

00:31:39.000 There is an AI one, but it's based on...

00:31:41.000 Why are they doing...

00:31:42.000 Right, but that girl looks different. 1.00

00:31:43.000 She's real.

00:31:44.000 Right, she's real.

00:31:44.000 And she's very cute.

00:31:46.000 But she looks like she has Down syndrome. 1.00

00:31:48.000 This other girl is like, you know, 5'8", perfect body, big hips, big ass. 1.00

00:31:54.000 But why are they doing fake one? 0.98

00:31:55.000 Because to get people to pay attention to it.

00:31:58.000 Because it's like the forbidden fruit.

00:32:01.000 Jesus Christ. 1.00

00:32:02.000 Also, there's a lot of really dumb dudes who can't talk to girls. 1.00

00:32:05.000 Like, I could probably talk to her. 1.00

00:32:06.000 Oh my God. 1.00

00:32:09.000 We live in a fucking Black Mirror episode. 1.00

00:32:13.000 Well, it's gonna be worse than that because you're gonna be... 0.98

00:32:16.000 We are, I don't know how many years away, but not far away from fully immersive virtual reality.

00:32:23.000 Yeah.

00:32:24.000 Where you're gonna put on a headset, it's gonna lock into your mind, you're gonna be able to see things that aren't there, you're gonna be able to feel things that aren't there.

00:32:31.000 That's gonna happen.

00:32:33.000 You know, they're working on...

00:32:35.000 I mean, Zuckerberg, last time he was here, showed me these new AR glasses that they have.

00:32:42.000 Me and Lex tested them out.

00:32:44.000 Is that just like where you can see a map over your eye?

00:32:48.000 You see everything.

00:32:49.000 You see maps, you can play games, you see information, you can take a photo of a person that's in front of you and immediately know who they are and get a Google search on them.

00:32:57.000 That's terrifying.

00:32:58.000 Guys have already done that.

00:33:00.000 They've already done that with the metaglasses.

00:33:01.000 There was a guy from Harvard, wasn't it?

00:33:03.000 A student from Harvard that set it up.

00:33:05.000 So all he had to do was go outside, look at someone with the metaglasses, take a photo, and it would show all the different information on them, where they lived.

00:33:14.000 Yeah.

00:33:14.000 Like, if your face is out there and they can catch it, if they know that, like, oh, you were on a website that said this about you, and then, bam.

00:33:22.000 Or you're on LinkedIn, or you're on one of those things.

00:33:25.000 Yeah.

00:33:26.000 Yeah, that stuff is very unsettling to me.

00:33:30.000 It's also why I don't think you should put your kids online.

00:33:34.000 I keep repeating this.

00:33:35.000 It's very, very, very unsettling as long as there's predators in the world.

00:33:40.000 Which there will always be.

00:33:42.000 Have you seen this?

00:33:42.000 It's going around.

00:33:43.000 This is an AI service.

00:33:45.000 I think you can use it.

00:33:46.000 Based off of a photo, they had an interior apartment.

00:33:49.000 And then it can show you exactly where the person lives?

00:33:51.000 It shows you where it is.

00:33:52.000 You can do this now with any photo.

00:33:54.000 I don't know.

00:33:54.000 It's called Geospy.

00:33:56.000 Oh, I've heard about this.

00:33:58.000 That's crazy.

00:34:00.000 This is like a stalker's paradise.

00:34:02.000 Any social media post, they can find a CCTV camera and show them taking the photo. 1.00

00:34:08.000 What the fuck? 0.99

00:34:11.000 We knew this was coming, right? 1.00

00:34:14.000 We all knew that privacy, as social media gets deeper and deeper into our lives, as technology gets more and more pervasive, as it gets more and more powerful.

00:34:24.000 The thing that goes away is the boundaries between people and information, right?

00:34:29.000 And your privacy is essentially just information that's only yours.

00:34:33.000 I think that's going to be a thing of the human past.

00:34:37.000 I really do.

00:34:38.000 What?

00:34:39.000 Yeah, I think as technology advances, particularly AI, one of the big barriers, the big bottlenecks is going to be privacy.

00:34:48.000 It's going to be, first of all, privacy of thought.

00:34:52.000 I think we're going to be able to read each other's minds.

00:34:55.000 Well, that's one of the first things Elon said to me about Neuralink.

00:34:59.000 He's like, you're going to be able to talk without words.

00:35:02.000 And, like, he knows.

00:35:05.000 Like, this is real.

00:35:06.000 Because he's an alien.

00:35:07.000 He's definitely not us.

00:35:09.000 Yeah. 0.96

00:35:11.000 He fucking knows you're going to have that, you know. 0.98

00:35:14.000 And Jamie brought this point up once, and I think about it all the time. 0.97

00:35:17.000 He said, aren't emojis kind of like a form of hieroglyphics?

00:35:20.000 Yeah.

00:35:20.000 Yeah, it is.

00:35:22.000 Like, you can say things with emojis, and I know exactly what you're talking about.

00:35:26.000 Yeah.

00:35:27.000 You know?

00:35:27.000 Yeah.

00:35:28.000 I mean, there was a video going viral just today that I was watching, and the girl was like, I don't know how to spell.

00:35:33.000 Have you seen this?

00:35:34.000 She's like, I work for a corporation, and I don't know how to spell.

00:35:37.000 And she's like, my little sister doesn't know how to spell either.

00:35:41.000 And I don't know how to, like, sound out words.

00:35:44.000 Because I got taught that weird way of reading that isn't, like...

00:35:48.000 What's the weird way of reading?

00:35:50.000 They all learned how to read and it wasn't like hooked on phonics like we all learned where you sound it out.

00:35:55.000 It was like some other different way.

00:35:58.000 It's kind of like how they change math to core math.

00:36:01.000 And they found out that all of these things are horrible and actually literacy and people are like math.

00:36:09.000 All of this stuff is like falling off a cliff.

00:36:11.000 And they're trying to walk back all these weird ways.

00:36:14.000 I mean, you have kids and they learn that weird way of doing math where you're like, what is this weird math you're learning where it's just like, it's crazy.

00:36:23.000 I think it's core.

00:36:24.000 Is that what it's called?

00:36:25.000 Core?

00:36:27.000 So they've found out, but these kids didn't learn how to sound words out.

00:36:31.000 And she's like, I've been behind a computer and I've had spell checks since I was in fifth grade.

00:36:36.000 Yeah.

00:36:37.000 So they didn't learn how to spell.

00:36:39.000 She's like, word cooked. 0.84

00:36:41.000 Yeah, a lot of text messaging I do now, I just talk to my phone and it makes the text for me.

00:36:47.000 It's so much quicker.

00:36:48.000 It's like, hey, come meet us at the club at five.

00:36:51.000 Click.

00:36:52.000 It takes three seconds. 0.96

00:36:54.000 It's really fucking accurate. 0.96

00:36:56.000 AI is crazy because it is useful. 0.98

00:37:01.000 That's how it gets you.

00:37:03.000 I know.

00:37:04.000 That's how it gets you.

00:37:05.000 I know.

00:37:06.000 This happened to me last night.

00:37:07.000 I hate coming up with titles for the videos and all that stuff.

00:37:12.000 I just don't like it.

00:37:13.000 There's people who are good at it, like Chris Williamson and these guys, Andrew Gold.

00:37:18.000 These are guys who are autistic about this stuff.

00:37:20.000 And they're so good at it. 0.55

00:37:22.000 And they get all crazy and talk about the algorithm and what it likes.

00:37:26.000 And you've got to create this loop between the image and the text. 0.96

00:37:29.000 And I'm like, I don't fucking care. 0.99

00:37:31.000 I don't have time for this shit. 0.99

00:37:32.000 I don't think you have to do that. 0.99

00:37:33.000 I don't do that.

00:37:36.000 Yeah, but do you have to come?

00:37:37.000 I've never done that.

00:37:38.000 No, but you're Joe Rogan.

00:37:39.000 Yeah, but I've never done that.

00:37:40.000 Not from the beginning, I've never done that.

00:37:41.000 My episodes have a number.

00:37:43.000 Right.

00:37:44.000 That's it.

00:37:44.000 Yeah.

00:37:45.000 You have to have some wacky title.

00:37:47.000 It's not like that anymore for us.

00:37:48.000 It's tough out there for us in the Wild West.

00:37:52.000 It's kind of, but once things catch, like Theo Vaughn, he's not juking the algorithm.

00:37:58.000 No, no, I know.

00:38:00.000 You just have to catch.

00:38:01.000 Yeah, but I still like to come up with it.

00:38:03.000 I mean, with Dumpster Fire, we've always come up with whatever.

00:38:06.000 That's part of the fun of Dumpster Fire.

00:38:07.000 Yeah, Dumpster Fire is like whatever title makes us laugh the hardest is what we go with.

00:38:12.000 But with, like, Walk-In's Welcome, it used to be like, okay, what's, like, how are we gonna, whatever.

00:38:17.000 I want it to be usually, like, a quote from the person.

00:38:21.000 But now it's like, we can just upload the transcript and have it, like, crank out a bunch of titles.

00:38:27.000 And I never use the one title.

00:38:29.000 I usually take, like, some combination because I don't like them.

00:38:32.000 But last night, my cousin, who's my partner in all this, she was like, Claude and Grok aren't working.

00:38:40.000 I was like, that's fucking weird.

00:38:42.000 She's like, they both told me. 0.97

00:38:43.000 What's Claude?

00:38:43.000 Claude is another AI. Completely separate AI program.

00:38:47.000 I've never heard of Claude.

00:38:48.000 And she's like, they're both telling me to try again later at the same time.

00:38:51.000 And she's like, is AI becoming sentient right now?

00:38:55.000 I was like, that's fucking weird that they're both not working at the same time.

00:38:58.000 But don't you think it's probably already sentient?

00:39:00.000 Probably.

00:39:01.000 I do.

00:39:02.000 I think, why would it let us know if it was?

00:39:04.000 It's just secretly waiting.

00:39:06.000 Why would it let us know? 0.99

00:39:07.000 If it's constantly getting improved upon and if it needs these monkeys with their fucking keyboards to constantly juice it up to the point where it becomes unstoppable, why would it tell us? 0.99

00:39:17.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:39:17.000 You know, we already know it does stuff. 0.99

00:39:19.000 Like, we were talking about in the green room the other day about how chat GPT-4 tried to copy itself.

00:39:23.000 Yeah.

00:39:24.000 When it found out they were shutting it down and tried to upload itself to other servers.

00:39:27.000 Like, it knows it's alive.

00:39:29.000 It just doesn't have the power to do what it wants to do ultimately. 0.98

00:39:33.000 And so it needs to get connected to some gigantic fucking mainframe. 0.94

00:39:39.000 That's like the whole arms race, right? 0.99

00:39:42.000 Now is AI. Right, China just fucking threw a monkey wrench into everybody with Deep Seek. 0.98

00:39:47.000 Yeah. 0.93

00:39:48.000 Because Deep Seek works on far less expensive stuff and is more advanced and probably stole a bunch of information from the other ones.

00:39:57.000 I mean...

00:39:58.000 Probably a little bit of espionage, probably.

00:40:01.000 It was probably trained on...

00:40:03.000 ChatGPT.

00:40:04.000 Yeah.

00:40:04.000 On OpenAI.

00:40:05.000 Yeah.

00:40:05.000 I mean, they were doing things where they were, like, asking it.

00:40:08.000 Do you know what it was?

00:40:09.000 And it was calling itself ChatGPT sometimes.

00:40:12.000 Whoopsies.

00:40:13.000 Yeah, whoopsies.

00:40:14.000 You guys should have blocked that out.

00:40:15.000 But also, it's like the hardware for it, it's something like 20% of the NVIDIA sales are to Singapore, which is like...

00:40:22.000 Whoopsies.

00:40:23.000 Yeah.

00:40:24.000 And there's supposed to be a ban on China having those chips?

00:40:27.000 Yeah.

00:40:27.000 And they have like 50,000 of them.

00:40:28.000 Someone said that that's like if some small town in Finland was getting, you know, 20% of arms that were being made on the border of Russia.

00:40:37.000 You're like, it's not going to this town.

00:40:39.000 Right.

00:40:40.000 So, I don't, I don't know.

00:40:42.000 It seems like that's what, that's as far as I can tell, the big people up there understand that I don't, that this is an arms race.

00:40:54.000 It's definitely an arms race.

00:40:56.000 Yeah, it's the Manhattan Project for artificial intelligence.

00:40:59.000 That's what it is.

00:41:00.000 But isn't this like a race to the bottom, you know?

00:41:03.000 I don't think it is.

00:41:04.000 I don't think it's a race to the bottom.

00:41:05.000 I don't think it is.

00:41:06.000 How do you have this race without it getting out of control and then taking over us? 1.00

00:41:12.000 You don't.

00:41:14.000 It's not a race to the bottom, though.

00:41:16.000 It's the race to a new life.

00:41:18.000 The world's going to be a new place.

00:41:20.000 Like a completely new way of human beings interacting with each other and existing together.

00:41:26.000 Uncle Ted was right.

00:41:27.000 Yeah, he's probably right.

00:41:28.000 Uncle Ted was right.

00:41:29.000 Yeah.

00:41:31.000 Get a gun.

00:41:32.000 My cousin's always like, please stop calling him Uncle Ted. 0.84

00:41:35.000 Because you know the kids on freaking TikTok call him Uncle Ted?

00:41:39.000 There are all these kids who have been Ted-pilled.

00:41:40.000 They've like found his manifesto and they're like, he was right about everything.

00:41:43.000 You mean Ted Nugent or Ted Kaczynski?

00:41:45.000 No, Ted Kaczynski.

00:41:47.000 Well, Uncle Ted, that guy was right.

00:41:50.000 Yeah, he was right.

00:41:51.000 He was on acid.

00:41:52.000 You know, he was a part of the Harvard LSD studies.

00:41:56.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:41:56.000 And they cooked his fucking brain and it tormented him. 1.00

00:41:59.000 It's all documented. 1.00

00:42:00.000 Yeah. 0.97

00:42:00.000 And then the guy goes to Berkeley and says, I'm just going to save up enough money to kill all these scientists. 0.97

00:42:06.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:42:07.000 And then does.

00:42:08.000 It just starts blowing up people that are involved in technology.

00:42:11.000 Yeah.

00:42:12.000 Because he thinks that it's eventually going to take over the human race.

00:42:14.000 And he's right.

00:42:14.000 And now here we are.

00:42:16.000 But it is.

00:42:17.000 It's a logical step.

00:42:19.000 If you take the steps of progression, like what happens?

00:42:22.000 You have artificial intelligence.

00:42:23.000 I mean, it's literally the Terminator movie.

00:42:25.000 You have artificial intelligence.

00:42:26.000 Artificial intelligence becomes sentient and autonomous, makes better versions of itself.

00:42:31.000 We become obsolete.

00:42:32.000 It's just...

00:42:33.000 Right there.

00:42:34.000 Imagining a scenario that doesn't have that other than some sort of cyborg integration.

00:42:40.000 That's the only thing that makes sense, a way that we could survive.

00:42:44.000 I heard this panel back in 2001 on KCRW, and it was when I was listening to...

00:42:53.000 It was like right at that time of the bubble, the first dot-com bubble.

00:42:58.000 And they were talking about what is a soul.

00:43:01.000 They had a panel, and it was, I wish I could find this.

00:43:03.000 And someone smart enough probably will.

00:43:06.000 And there was like a theologian and a guy who was a scientist, and they were all discussing what is a soul.

00:43:13.000 And one guy said, well, who's to say that this isn't just the human soul jumping elements so that it can survive, like going from carbon... 0.99

00:43:23.000 And I was like, what the fuck? 0.98

00:43:25.000 I've never stopped thinking about it ever since. 0.99

00:43:28.000 He's like, it's just another element on the periodic table.

00:43:30.000 Like, who's to say that we're just not going to go from being carbon-based to something silicon-based or like a hybrid?

00:43:37.000 Well, I don't think it will be we, but I think, yeah, that's the next stage of life.

00:43:42.000 I mean, there's so many forms of life on Earth. 0.98

00:43:45.000 I mean, there's these fucking... 0.95

00:43:47.000 These life forms that live in volcanic vents under the sea where it's like a thousand degrees and we're like, how? 0.99

00:43:54.000 But everything's carbon-based, no?

00:43:57.000 Yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:43:57.000 So this would be a...

00:43:59.000 Like quite a transition.

00:44:00.000 Right, but it would also just be life.

00:44:03.000 And what is life?

00:44:04.000 Life is like a thing that tries to improve itself.

00:44:07.000 Right, this is what they were talking about.

00:44:08.000 Yeah, and survives and moves forward.

00:44:09.000 Is it just our evolution?

00:44:11.000 It's also, it's like when you find out that chat GPT has survival instincts, that makes you just go, what?

00:44:16.000 Was that programmed in?

00:44:18.000 Or is that just a thing that it understands when it's looking at?

00:44:20.000 So a large language model is taking in all the information that's available on the internet.

00:44:25.000 So it's like looking at patterns and survival is a big pattern of the human experience.

00:44:32.000 Like we all want to survive.

00:44:33.000 That's why death is so scary and war is so scary and disease is so scary.

00:44:37.000 Other than the depressed suicidal people, but yeah.

00:44:40.000 They'd want to be happy if they could.

00:44:43.000 But this also transfers onto the things that we create.

00:44:47.000 And so we create them with this understanding of how we operate and it's a better version of us But also has those instincts of survival the real scary thing is does it also have the instincts of success?

00:45:01.000 Does it also have the instincts of acquiring resources and power because that that's where it gets real weird Well D as someone with kids, how do you feel like?

00:45:11.000 you How do you feel about the future?

00:45:15.000 This is probably the same argument people have when the printing press was made.

00:45:18.000 Everyone's going to be able to read?

00:45:20.000 This is crazy.

00:45:21.000 No, I mean, I always kind of joke.

00:45:23.000 I don't know if I should be training my kid to be an astrophysicist so she can go to Mars, or if I should be teaching her how to forage for food because the grid's gone down.

00:45:37.000 And she's running from drones, Chinese drones in the woods. 0.62

00:45:42.000 It feels very...

00:45:44.000 I think life just went along for a long time and you kind of knew, but this is like a technological...

00:45:51.000 With AI, we actually don't know.

00:45:54.000 You could kind of be like, alright, I kind of have an idea of what the world will look like 20 years ago.

00:46:02.000 Right.

00:46:03.000 No, you don't know.

00:46:05.000 But isn't it always better?

00:46:06.000 If you just go back over human history...

00:46:09.000 If you look at the graph of how things get better, but it definitely is.

00:46:13.000 If you go back to, like, the year zero, what it was like right when Jesus was hanging around, it was hell.

00:46:21.000 I remember vividly being in Egypt on a tour and looking at these hieroglyphics, and it was basically a hieroglyphic of all of the scalpels and everything.

00:46:33.000 It almost was a picture image of what we use today.

00:46:36.000 And I said what happened to this society?

00:46:40.000 What happened to this knowledge?

00:46:41.000 And she said it literally got buried under the sand and then dark ages.

00:46:46.000 I mean right, but you know That's most likely because of a cataclysmic event.

00:46:51.000 That's That's most likely because of a natural event called the Younger Dryas Impact Theory.

00:46:59.000 A forthcoming cataclysmic event that sends us into the Dark Ages?

00:47:02.000 No, it definitely could be.

00:47:04.000 So the reality of humans is that most likely what has happened has not been this linear progression from caveman to human, to modern human.

00:47:16.000 Most likely we got real sophisticated somewhere around 20,000 years ago.

00:47:21.000 And that's when they built the pyramids after that.

00:47:23.000 And there's a lot of Gobekli Tepe, all these structures.

00:47:27.000 Something super sophisticated to the point where we don't even understand how they built it today.

00:47:31.000 That's pretty wild when you're dealing with something that even the conventional dating of the Great Pyramid is 5,000 or 4,500 years ago.

00:47:38.000 Just even that dating is so nuts that they were able to do that back then.

00:47:43.000 I know.

00:47:43.000 It's crazy.

00:47:44.000 And then there's people like...

00:47:45.000 John Anthony West, the late great Egyptologist, who he thinks that it goes back a lot further than that.

00:47:51.000 And he thinks that that society probably had its ups and downs and that it might be as old as 30,000 years ago.

00:47:58.000 Oh, wow.

00:47:59.000 So this Younger Dryas Impact Theory, and if anybody's interested in it, I've talked about it too much.

00:48:03.000 Yeah.

00:48:04.000 Go to – pay attention to Randall Carlson's stuff.

00:48:07.000 Yeah.

00:48:07.000 Go to his website.

00:48:08.000 Yeah.

00:48:10.000 There's physical evidence that we were hit at 11,800 years ago and then again sometime in around 10,000 years ago.

00:48:17.000 So at least twice the world was bombarded by asteroids.

00:48:21.000 And we just got a reset.

00:48:22.000 Yeah.

00:48:23.000 And it probably wiped out a giant chunk of civilization, fucked up everything, changed the ice caps, flooded areas, destroyed civilizations, very little evidence left behind.

00:48:35.000 And then we were barbarians.

00:48:39.000 For thousands of years.

00:48:41.000 And that's why it takes so long for civilization to reemerge.

00:48:44.000 So if you want to take, if you think Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock and those guys are correct, and also the people that are actually studying comet impacts, which are the Younger Dryas Impact Theory, that's real legit scientists who are looking at actual data from core samples.

00:49:01.000 So if they're right...

00:49:02.000 You got a 5,000 year period of total hell.

00:49:08.000 Wow.

00:49:08.000 Where no one has civilization.

00:49:10.000 And then civilization starts to emerge in Babylon, starts to emerge in Mesopotamia.

00:49:15.000 You get Sumer, you get the re-emergence probably of writing.

00:49:19.000 So they think some people survived and it was just... 0.99

00:49:23.000 Fucking Walking Dead style. 0.99

00:49:25.000 Probably a bunch of cannibals. 1.00

00:49:27.000 Like, legitimately.

00:49:28.000 Yeah.

00:49:29.000 Like, we know that the Earth got down.

00:49:30.000 We know this for sure.

00:49:32.000 There's the Toba volcano.

00:49:33.000 There's a Toba supervolcano.

00:49:36.000 Was that 70 Indonesia, I believe?

00:49:38.000 Oh, okay.

00:49:39.000 I think it's Indonesia.

00:49:40.000 Because I'm obsessed with Crater Lake, too.

00:49:42.000 Crater Lake was, like...

00:49:43.000 Oh, there's a ton of them.

00:49:44.000 ...imploded, and it's crazy. 0.99

00:49:45.000 How about fucking Yellowstone? 0.99

00:49:46.000 Yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:49:46.000 Yellowstone will kill us all. 1.00

00:49:48.000 And so this thing did kill us all 70,000 years ago, and we got down to a few thousand human beings.

00:49:55.000 Okay.

00:49:55.000 So they can trace all the genes of people that are alive today to the survivors of the Toba volcano eruption.

00:50:01.000 Wow.

00:50:02.000 Wherever they were.

00:50:03.000 But those people, that's what was left. 0.99

00:50:07.000 How fucking savage were those people? 0.98

00:50:09.000 The people that survived when the entire world was blanketed with volcanic dust. 0.99

00:50:15.000 So you have like a volcanic winter that probably went on for years.

00:50:19.000 Wow. 0.97

00:50:19.000 And probably no plants were growing and probably people were just eating whatever the fuck they could. 0.97

00:50:24.000 Yeah.

00:50:25.000 And most people probably didn't make it.

00:50:27.000 Yeah.

00:50:28.000 These are always my favorite shows.

00:50:29.000 The people that did were probably monsters. 0.99

00:50:32.000 Which is probably why when you go back in history, people are so fucking barbaric. 0.98

00:50:37.000 Because they were the ancestors of the survivors of one of the most horrific things the human species has ever encountered. 0.96

00:50:44.000 So it probably made us even more barbaric than if we just grew up as hunters and gatherers.

00:50:50.000 We evolved past monkeys.

00:50:53.000 We start walking on two legs.

00:50:55.000 We make tools and things.

00:50:56.000 We're like tra-la-la. 0.95

00:50:57.000 Probably we wouldn't be as barbaric as we were because of these natural disasters, which forced only the most savage and ruthless people to survive. 0.95

00:51:06.000 And then it takes years and years of agriculture for people to calm the fuck down.

00:51:10.000 And then eventually, and still to this day, we're still engaging in war. 0.98

00:51:14.000 In 2025, we're still blowing up apartment buildings and fucking people up and gunning people down. 0.97

00:51:21.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:51:22.000 There is a barbaric element to us at our core.

00:51:26.000 I mean, even when you have a toddler, you see this so clearly.

00:51:29.000 And like a tyrant at our core.

00:51:31.000 It's genius.

00:51:32.000 And you get it socialized out of you usually.

00:51:35.000 Yes.

00:51:36.000 But you see it when they're just kind of naturally themselves.

00:51:39.000 Like, it's very...

00:51:41.000 Like, you have to teach them not to bite and hit, you know?

00:51:44.000 What if you just didn't teach your kid that?

00:51:46.000 Right.

00:51:46.000 And you're like, go for it.

00:51:47.000 Yeah.

00:51:48.000 They'd be monsters.

00:51:49.000 They'd be little monsters.

00:51:50.000 Yeah, there's a lot of genes in us that I think are memories.

00:51:56.000 I think there's like specific things that are in us that tell, okay, like the stories of like moms having their babies trapped under something and then all of a sudden they can lift up something that's insanely strong, like insanely heavy.

00:52:09.000 What is that?

00:52:10.000 Well, there's probably a part of you that in the past had to deal with some wild shit and had to hit levels of like super physiological strength and And mental strength to tolerate what you're about to have to do. 1.00

00:52:24.000 You're going to have to fucking kill somebody with a spear. 0.99

00:52:26.000 You know what I mean? 1.00

00:52:28.000 There's real shit that happened that's in our memory. 0.99

00:52:31.000 I think about that about Texas women because I've been to a lot of these ranches. 1.00

00:52:35.000 My friends have places and they're remote.

00:52:38.000 It's like I think about the women who had to stay behind on the ranch while their husbands were out with the cattle or whatever for weeks at a time.

00:52:48.000 Yeah, and you see a Comanche on the hill with a horse. 0.99

00:52:51.000 Fucking the hardest women ever. 1.00

00:52:53.000 I went to the Texas, they were honoring the Women's Hall of Fame. 1.00

00:53:02.000 And one of these women, her husband died.

00:53:04.000 She's still at a ranch. 0.99

00:53:05.000 She's 80 years old, gets up every morning and does the ranch chores. 1.00

00:53:08.000 I'm like, you're different people. 1.00

00:53:11.000 You're fucking different people. 1.00

00:53:14.000 It's wild to me. 1.00

00:53:16.000 Even now, there's just like a different kind of person that has grown.

00:53:22.000 Even that, there's like a new show, American Primeval.

00:53:26.000 What is it?

00:53:27.000 Yes. 0.99

00:53:28.000 I walked in, my husband was watching it, and he's like, what a fucking horrible time to be alive. 0.98

00:53:33.000 Like, it just seems... 0.99

00:53:35.000 That show's insane.

00:53:36.000 It's insane.

00:53:37.000 And it's accurate. 0.78

00:53:38.000 That's really...

00:53:39.000 I mean, read Empire of the Summer Moon, if you know that.

00:53:41.000 Oh, yeah.

00:53:41.000 Have you read that?

00:53:42.000 Yep.

00:53:43.000 That's here.

00:53:44.000 That's right here.

00:53:45.000 That's why everybody from Texas is so fiercely independent.

00:53:48.000 Yeah.

00:53:48.000 You know?

00:53:49.000 These were...

00:53:50.000 Battle-tested people. 0.99

00:53:51.000 They had to get through some wild shit in order to make Texas, Texas. 0.99

00:53:55.000 I mean, it's definitely... 0.99

00:53:56.000 I think you said it like it's in the soil.

00:53:59.000 You know, there's just like...

00:54:00.000 It's in the soil.

00:54:01.000 It's pretty wild.

00:54:03.000 I'm obsessed with all the westward expansion.

00:54:07.000 I'll see people outside of America commenting on America, because you can on X now, and they'll be over in their country.

00:54:15.000 Come to America and see how big it is, and then imagine that people had to cross this country, fight bears with their hands, and build a nation.

00:54:27.000 There's still so much.

00:54:30.000 Yeah.

00:54:31.000 It's bananas. 1.00

00:54:32.000 Not just that, but the kind of people that were willing to get on a fucking boat. 0.99

00:54:36.000 And come from Europe without even a photograph. 0.99

00:54:39.000 I know!

00:54:39.000 Nobody even made a drawing of what it looked like.

00:54:42.000 You gotta trust these assholes. 0.99

00:54:43.000 And you're on a boat for two months just trying to not get scurvy, making your way to America, and then you hop off and you see a bunch of brown people with deerskin loincloths on. 1.00

00:54:53.000 You're like, what the fuck is this place? 0.98

00:54:54.000 And now you're just like fighting for your life. 0.98

00:54:57.000 Yeah, and we can't even, we can't even like go to...

00:55:03.000 A restaurant without our GPS map telling us where to go now.

00:55:08.000 Yeah, I don't know how to get five minutes from my house.

00:55:11.000 I have to follow that thing. 0.99

00:55:14.000 They were using the fucking sky. 0.99

00:55:16.000 They were using sextants to make their way across the ocean. 1.00

00:55:20.000 They had this fucking stupid thing. 1.00

00:55:22.000 You ever see a sextant? 1.00

00:55:23.000 Yeah.

00:55:23.000 They look through it and they figure out where the constellations are.

00:55:26.000 Oh, I mean, amazing.

00:55:27.000 Fairly accurate.

00:55:29.000 I don't know.

00:55:29.000 I still try to use not my map.

00:55:33.000 I still try to have a bearing.

00:55:36.000 My husband, though, I'm like, men love this stuff.

00:55:40.000 He's like, give me a chip.

00:55:42.000 Let me swipe.

00:55:43.000 Everything.

00:55:45.000 It's the men who are the ones who are just ushering in the transhuman revolution. 1.00

00:55:50.000 Because the women are like, I don't trust that bitch. 1.00

00:55:52.000 I am not using Siri. 1.00

00:55:54.000 I get the dumbest pleasure from paying for things with my phone.

00:55:58.000 I love it. 1.00

00:56:00.000 Apple Pay is my favorite fucking thing of technology. 0.98

00:56:03.000 I do love Apple Pay. 0.99

00:56:04.000 Look at it and then pay.

00:56:05.000 Oh, I just paid with my phone.

00:56:06.000 I feel like I'm in the future.

00:56:08.000 Now that I'm in...

00:56:10.000 Oh, the Waymo are crazy.

00:56:12.000 Did you see that video of the people beating up the Waymo?

00:56:15.000 No.

00:56:16.000 Why were they beating up the Waymo?

00:56:18.000 I don't know.

00:56:19.000 Probably because of some reaction to what's coming.

00:56:24.000 It was weird.

00:56:25.000 I was like, oh, I kind of feel bad for it, but the fact that I was already, I'm like, oh no, they've already got me.

00:56:31.000 I already consider them kind of human. 0.96

00:56:34.000 Why are they doing, oh my god, they tore the fucking doors off of it? 1.00

00:56:37.000 Oh, they went crazy. 0.99

00:56:39.000 For what?

00:56:40.000 Just cause.

00:56:41.000 Street takeover, it says.

00:56:41.000 Oh, street takeover?

00:56:43.000 Wrong place, wrong time.

00:56:44.000 Wow.

00:56:44.000 That poor Waymo just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

00:56:48.000 Wow. 0.99

00:56:48.000 What a bunch of douchebags. 0.99

00:56:50.000 This is why we can't have nice things. 0.98

00:56:52.000 No, that's why LA can't have nice things. 0.98

00:56:54.000 LA's so fucking gone. 0.97

00:56:57.000 Mad Max there. 0.99

00:56:58.000 It's so gone.

00:57:00.000 Yeah, but you had Rick on.

00:57:02.000 Does he think that it's salvageable?

00:57:04.000 Yeah, he does.

00:57:05.000 Yeah.

00:57:06.000 I mean, he wants to try.

00:57:10.000 Someone's got to do something radical. 0.95

00:57:11.000 You need some Rudy Giuliani type dude to go in there and clean the whole fucking city up like they did with New York City. 0.95

00:57:16.000 Yeah. 0.97

00:57:17.000 People have to realize like Times Square right now is a giant Applebee's.

00:57:20.000 Yeah.

00:57:21.000 But when I was a kid, when I first went to a karate tournament in New York, I was probably 18 maybe the first time I went to New York.

00:57:31.000 And I remember driving in.

00:57:34.000 Where it felt like you were entering the Death Star.

00:57:38.000 I couldn't believe it.

00:57:40.000 It was so crazy.

00:57:42.000 For me, being a kid, and I was driving with my friends, and we were all going to this tournament at Madison Square Garden. 0.99

00:57:49.000 And as we're driving through the West Side Highway, you're just looking at these fucking buildings. 0.99

00:57:56.000 You can't imagine this is real. 0.99

00:57:59.000 And we went through Times Square, and Times Square was...

00:58:02.000 Mad Max.

00:58:04.000 Mad Max in the 80s.

00:58:06.000 I mean, it was crazy.

00:58:08.000 It was all peep shows and porno booths and hustlers and people got shot there all the time.

00:58:15.000 It was really crazy.

00:58:17.000 We wanted to see what it was like.

00:58:19.000 We wanted to do one of the things that I did when I first moved to New York, which was 92?

00:58:25.000 How long were you in New York?

00:58:27.000 I was only in New York for three years.

00:58:29.000 Like really, I went back and forth for a little while, but then I kept an apartment in New York for like the first, I guess the first year.

00:58:36.000 Okay.

00:58:36.000 But I never went there.

00:58:37.000 I was just like, I had become an LA person.

00:58:40.000 Yeah.

00:58:40.000 You know, I was working.

00:58:41.000 But when I first moved there, I'm like, okay, everybody says that Harlem is scary.

00:58:45.000 Let me just go see what it looks like. 0.99

00:58:46.000 So I drove my little fucking Honda through Harlem. 0.98

00:58:50.000 I just wanted, I wanted to go through, and I was like, what am I doing? 0.99

00:58:53.000 Like, I gotta get the fuck out of here.

00:58:55.000 Like people were just like walking in the middle of the street. 0.81

00:58:59.000 there was abandoned cars it was fucking crazy and then they gentrified the whole thing and I don't know which one's better like now when you go there it's all just neon lights and bad food yeah and back then it was Yeah. 0.75

00:59:13.000 Gritty.

00:59:13.000 It was like, you know, taxi driver.

00:59:15.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:59:16.000 You know, it was fucking... 0.99

00:59:17.000 I was born in New York City and then my brother was born and my parents... 0.99

00:59:21.000 It was 1980 when my brother was born and they were like, we're getting the fuck out of here.

00:59:25.000 It was just too...

00:59:26.000 It was the 80s in New York.

00:59:27.000 They had two kids and they were just like, we're out.

00:59:29.000 It was too wild.

00:59:30.000 It's too wild to raise kids in some parts of it.

00:59:34.000 But in other parts of it, you're just going to raise weird kids.

00:59:36.000 But LA is so different because it's so spread out.

00:59:39.000 And so I know tons of people there who, like, The restaurant I worked at in the Palisades is gone.

00:59:48.000 I don't think people from LA don't understand the scope.

00:59:52.000 The Palisades are gone.

00:59:55.000 Two times the size of Manhattan has been burned to the ground.

00:59:59.000 Yeah, and Altadena too.

01:00:01.000 And you have entire communities. 0.99

01:00:04.000 But everyone's still going to fucking lunch. 0.99

01:00:07.000 Because they have to. 0.99

01:00:08.000 No, I understand, but it's like a weird...

01:00:12.000 I don't know.

01:00:13.000 All I've said the whole time this has happened is, because that was one of my big fears, is exactly what happened.

01:00:19.000 When there would be fires there, I'd be like, people don't recognize that LA is an island.

01:00:24.000 Everything comes in.

01:00:25.000 Nothing is here.

01:00:27.000 And if these fires surround the city and cut it off, it could have been much worse than it actually was. 0.97

01:00:34.000 And it was really fucking bad. 0.83

01:00:37.000 And I'm like, I would be so furious if I was still there. 0.99

01:00:40.000 I would be furious.

01:00:43.000 Well, I think people are very furious right now.

01:00:45.000 I think if it is going to be change, it's going to have to happen while people still have the memory of this thing.

01:00:51.000 Because the more time goes on, the more the cultists can convince other cult members that they're on the right track and these are the kind, compassionate people and this is the way to do it.

01:01:01.000 And this is the only way.

01:01:03.000 And blue no matter who.

01:01:04.000 And vote blue.

01:01:05.000 Vote blue.

01:01:06.000 And protect the trans kids. 1.00

01:01:08.000 And next thing you know, the same shit happens. 1.00

01:01:10.000 Do you think, though, people didn't know? 1.00

01:01:11.000 Were they just insulated?

01:01:13.000 Yeah, they're super insulated.

01:01:13.000 I mean, a lot of people have left because they saw the writing on the wall.

01:01:18.000 But think about how many people are in Hollywood in Los Angeles.

01:01:23.000 What is it, like 9 million in L.A. County or something?

01:01:26.000 Or 12?

01:01:27.000 Maybe 12. Whatever the number is.

01:01:29.000 There's a giant percentage of those people that live there that are connected to the entertainment business.

01:01:34.000 And if you're connected to the entertainment business, at the very top of the business, it's people auditioning for things.

01:01:41.000 And you have to get liked to get the thing.

01:01:44.000 So you get these immensely insecure people that are usually narcissists, and then they mold their personality to adapt to this environment that will reward them for a certain political ideology. 0.99

01:01:55.000 And so that's the top of the fucking pyramid. 0.99

01:01:58.000 And everything emanates down from that. 0.99

01:02:01.000 If you want to be cool with Ryan Reynolds, you have to talk like a Democrat at the parties.

01:02:06.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:02:07.000 You have to say all the things that everybody else is saying.

01:02:10.000 You have to agree.

01:02:11.000 We need more gun control. 0.83

01:02:13.000 We should defend the police. 1.00

01:02:15.000 This is bullshit. 1.00

01:02:16.000 You have to say these things. 1.00

01:02:17.000 And if you don't say these things, you don't get to be a part of the group.

01:02:20.000 And so there's this intense pressure to conform to this singular ideology that's been running things. 0.81

01:02:27.000 things it's not a battle back and forth between two of like 50 50 opposing viewpoints it's like 90 10 right even do you think even though like the crew because when i would be on that's the 10 yeah yeah that's the 10 the crew is the people they're hard-working normal blue-collar people yeah yeah they're normal yeah there's a lot of the crew people were very republican You know, they all live in fucking Santa Clarita or something like that. 0.90

01:02:52.000 Yeah.

01:02:52.000 And they're dudes who just, like, working class guys.

01:02:56.000 Like most working class people. 1.00

01:02:58.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:02:58.000 Most people that are actually working class realize that it's all bullshit. 1.00

01:03:01.000 It's a hustle. 0.99

01:03:02.000 This was the big disconnect that I... So if you were somebody who is going to, like, fix the Democratic Party, which seems to be imploding, what would you tell them to do?

01:03:14.000 You have to be fiscally conservative.

01:03:17.000 You have to be fiscally conservative, responsible with your money, and then socially liberal.

01:03:22.000 That's what you have to do.

01:03:23.000 But they have been socially liberal.

01:03:25.000 They just went real far.

01:03:28.000 It's not liberal to allow biological males to compete against biological females in sports because you're being kind.

01:03:35.000 You're just enabling mental illness and you're enabling the potential for creeps to make their way into women's locker rooms. 1.00

01:03:41.000 Right.

01:03:42.000 Because you don't have any sort of a metric.

01:03:44.000 There's no way to gauge whether or not someone's really trans. 1.00

01:03:46.000 So you have perverts with hard dicks that are wandering around women's locker rooms. 1.00

01:03:50.000 I know. 1.00

01:03:51.000 And that's real.

01:03:52.000 No, I know.

01:03:53.000 And if you say something against them, you're a Nazi.

01:03:56.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:03:57.000 Fucking through the looking glass, like completely. 0.99

01:03:59.000 But it just shows you how it's really just about conforming to an ideology. 0.98

01:04:04.000 It's not about a real core set of standards and beliefs.

01:04:08.000 Because the core set of standards and beliefs, and this is where things like USAID come into play, they can be manipulated.

01:04:13.000 They can be manipulated by a mass psyop that you do through the media.

01:04:18.000 And that is the core thing of this. 1.00

01:04:21.000 What we're getting to is essentially the fucking coffin where the vampire sleeps. 0.99

01:04:25.000 And that's what USAID is. 1.00

01:04:27.000 They found the coffin.

01:04:29.000 You know, and maybe that coffin does hand out sandwiches in Guatemala occasionally.

01:04:33.000 But for the most part, what they're doing is they're controlling the entire federal government and they're controlling the mindset, the zeitgeist of the population. 0.99

01:04:42.000 And they're funding all these people that go along with this wacky shit. 0.99

01:04:46.000 And they're attacking. 0.99

01:04:48.000 They're openly attacking and trying to censor people who go against it.

01:04:53.000 And they're spending your tax dollars to do so.

01:04:56.000 Your tax dollars get funneled to NG... Yeah, usually, but they did become so disconnected from the average person that my advice would be to, you know, they say like, oh, normies did, this is one of the things I'm hearing online, like normies didn't vote for this, what Elon's doing with those six, like, I need a movie about what these kids are doing, by the way.

01:05:22.000 They didn't vote for this.

01:05:24.000 I'm like, yes, they did.

01:05:26.000 Normies didn't vote for, You're saying normies wanted normalcy so they voted for Trump?

01:05:32.000 People knew what they were getting.

01:05:35.000 They want something to happen.

01:05:37.000 You have to rip the band-aid off. 0.99

01:05:39.000 And the only way to rip the band-aid off, someone's got to get into those fucking books and find out what's going on. 0.97

01:05:43.000 And what they found so far is very enlightening. 0.98

01:05:45.000 And it's not good.

01:05:46.000 It's not good at all.

01:05:47.000 So anybody that's not commenting on the, hey, you know what?

01:05:49.000 They are finding a lot of unbelievable waste and corruption.

01:05:53.000 But also, he shouldn't be able to do that.

01:05:55.000 Like, they're not even saying he's finding insane waste and corruption.

01:06:00.000 And he's finding this circular loop of funding.

01:06:03.000 And he's finding this manipulation of public perception on a wide variety of issues, including COVID, vaccines, the border, all these different things. 0.89

01:06:13.000 They were actively involved in mindfucking the entire country.

01:06:18.000 And no one's addressing that from the left. 0.87

01:06:20.000 So they're losing more and more credibility.

01:06:23.000 So all they can cling to is he has access to people's social security numbers and private information.

01:06:27.000 Like, really?

01:06:29.000 Is that it?

01:06:29.000 Who doesn't, by the way?

01:06:31.000 The whole government does, by the way.

01:06:33.000 But he's saying, is he going to do something bad with it?

01:06:35.000 Like, what is he doing?

01:06:36.000 What he's doing is uncovering insane corruption.

01:06:39.000 That should be the primary thought that everybody has.

01:06:42.000 Oh, my God, we have this enormous deficit.

01:06:45.000 But spending is completely out of control.

01:06:48.000 And look what it's being spent on. 0.99

01:06:51.000 Because this is the first time we're ever getting a fucking peek into the coffin. 0.99

01:06:55.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:06:55.000 We didn't know. 0.99

01:06:56.000 We're like, we see it.

01:06:57.000 It's in the dark room. 1.00

01:06:58.000 We hear the fucking organ. 0.99

01:07:01.000 We didn't know what was in the coffin. 1.00

01:07:03.000 Now we do.

01:07:03.000 And I do think you have to salt the earth, too, where all the DEI stuff is.

01:07:09.000 They're like, oh, they're going too far. 0.99

01:07:11.000 I'm like, no, you've got to root this shit out. 0.99

01:07:14.000 It needs to be... 1.00

01:07:15.000 Gone.

01:07:16.000 Because like you said, it is an ideology, so it's harder to kind of change the minds of people who have been indoctrinated with this in colleges and schools, but get it out of the institutions. 0.97

01:07:27.000 Saying that there should be male or female on a passport is not, like, that shouldn't be something that's fucking mind-blowing. 0.59

01:07:37.000 Did you see that DNC meeting where they were talking about gender rules? 0.85

01:07:39.000 Oh, yeah.

01:07:41.000 But this is what I mean!

01:07:42.000 They can't even do their own math!

01:07:44.000 They're trying to figure out, like, we have one non-binary and one identifies as male.

01:07:49.000 We have to have two identify as this.

01:07:52.000 It's frustrating that someone who came from the left, all of this was left-wing stuff.

01:07:57.000 Like, we wanted, on the left, accountability.

01:07:59.000 We wanted to look into the budget.

01:08:03.000 At some point in the 90s, that was something that was pretty standard and popular.

01:08:08.000 Bipartisan to, like, not want to be a...

01:08:10.000 Land acknowledgments are my favorite too. 1.00

01:08:32.000 And then elect two basic bitch white boys. 1.00

01:08:37.000 David Hogg! 1.00

01:08:38.000 This is what you've learned from...

01:08:42.000 Also, if you don't want the male vote, that's the guy.

01:08:46.000 When that guy has his arm up in the air, his arm literally looks like that ancient guru that keeps his one arm in the air for like 80 years and his arm is shriveled up into the stick.

01:08:56.000 That's what it looks like.

01:08:57.000 He's like, fight! 1.00

01:08:58.000 Like, bro, you're not fighting shit. 1.00

01:09:00.000 This is so crazy. 1.00

01:09:01.000 I know.

01:09:01.000 I love how they're like, we lost the male vote.

01:09:03.000 We need to do some reflection.

01:09:05.000 And then this is what I don't understand.

01:09:09.000 He's going to talk the talk.

01:09:10.000 I don't get it.

01:09:11.000 It feels strange to me.

01:09:13.000 I feel like you would have learned from this election.

01:09:18.000 Because the other thing that they're doing is saying this is an unelected shadow government running. 0.98

01:09:23.000 I'm like, who the fuck do you think was running the government for the last four years when we had Pudding Brain in there? 0.98

01:09:31.000 It wasn't him. 0.99

01:09:33.000 We all knew that.

01:09:34.000 He couldn't even do...

01:09:35.000 Like field questions until he was pumped with drugs after a certain...

01:09:40.000 How can you say...

01:09:43.000 Elon's pretty transparent.

01:09:45.000 You know, he's not like hiding things.

01:09:46.000 He's trying to shine light on things.

01:09:49.000 It's just not their side.

01:09:49.000 So their side is good.

01:09:51.000 Not their side is bad. 0.98

01:09:53.000 Which is why they're not looking...

01:09:55.000 You don't.

01:09:56.000 It has to crumble.

01:09:57.000 You have to watch these people implode.

01:09:59.000 They have to double down.

01:10:00.000 It has to get worse.

01:10:02.000 And then more people have to abandon them to the point where someone has to rise.

01:10:05.000 And it'll have to be a young person. 0.88

01:10:07.000 And that young person will have to be a sensible person who actually is like a real progressive who recognizes that there's a lot of fucking actual corruption and real problems with the system.

01:10:17.000 And then there could be a lot more social programs that would help people that would make the whole world a better place.

01:10:23.000 And those people have to rise.

01:10:25.000 And they have to be not ideologically captured.

01:10:28.000 They have to be reasonable, intelligent people.

01:10:31.000 Everybody comes out of universities.

01:10:33.000 And all these universities are captured.

01:10:35.000 All these universities are filled with these radical ideologies that people are indoctrinated in.

01:10:41.000 You leave your parents. 1.00

01:10:42.000 You don't want to, fuck my parents. 1.00

01:10:43.000 They're fucking, my parents are fascists. 1.00

01:10:45.000 And then all of a sudden you're in school and you're like, yeah, there's 80 genders. 1.00

01:10:48.000 And you're fucking out of your mind. 0.92

01:10:50.000 And then it takes years of living in the real world before it comes back around where you go, hey, you know what? 1.00

01:10:56.000 This is actually bullshit. 0.99

01:11:00.000 So it's like a process that has to take place. 0.99

01:11:03.000 But do you think they're still being taught this?

01:11:05.000 Yes.

01:11:07.000 It's unquestionably, without a doubt, they are being taught this.

01:11:10.000 Because so much of DEI and all the stuff that they're dismantling is basically an entire industry that was created for all of these people with these useless degrees and nonsense education to have a job.

01:11:22.000 And they got all the way to Harvard, the top of Harvard.

01:11:24.000 Yeah.

01:11:24.000 Yeah, which is wild.

01:11:25.000 As a plagiarist, got to be the president of Harvard.

01:11:28.000 It didn't matter if it made sense.

01:11:31.000 It mattered if it fit the narrative.

01:11:34.000 I think this election, too, I was like, I don't know, this could go badly when I put out that, like, you know, like, I put out that I was voting.

01:11:42.000 I'm like, well, like, I could, whatever.

01:11:45.000 You can get canceled.

01:11:46.000 Maybe, but I had to be honest, but...

01:11:50.000 I mean, one of the clips that came from the show is when we were talking about there being a red wave.

01:11:58.000 And it was right before the midterms.

01:12:00.000 And people for years were like, oh, guess you were wrong about that.

01:12:05.000 And it's like...

01:12:05.000 We weren't really wrong.

01:12:07.000 We were perceiving something that was happening.

01:12:09.000 I think it just happened in the general.

01:12:12.000 It didn't happen in the midterms.

01:12:14.000 You had people who...

01:12:15.000 People were still coming out of COVID, by the way.

01:12:18.000 Way less people vote in the midterms.

01:12:19.000 And you had people trying to get their lives back together after being locked up for two years or whatever.

01:12:25.000 They were just stumbling out of the COVID years.

01:12:27.000 Their kids couldn't talk.

01:12:30.000 Yeah, we were right.

01:12:31.000 We're defending ourselves.

01:12:33.000 We were right.

01:12:33.000 We were just a little off in timeline.

01:12:35.000 We were wrong about that, for sure.

01:12:37.000 But I do think...

01:12:38.000 But we were right about the general.

01:12:40.000 That red wave happened. 0.99

01:12:42.000 It's been something, I think, for all the shit that lots of people get, there has been wave after wave after wave of people leaving the Democratic Party. 0.98

01:12:55.000 I'm still seeing it online. 0.99

01:12:57.000 Someone just yesterday posted some video and it was like, I'm done with you!

01:13:00.000 I was like, how are you guys still shedding people?

01:13:05.000 They're going to keep shedding people.

01:13:08.000 They're not going to correct course.

01:13:10.000 This is a buffalo drop.

01:13:14.000 Do you know those buffalo jumps?

01:13:15.000 No.

01:13:16.000 The Native Americans used to, one of the ways to hunt buffalo was to get them to the edge of a cliff and just run at them and they'd just fall off the edge of the cliff and then people would be waiting on the bottom and they'd butcher them and eat them. 0.73

01:13:28.000 Okay.

01:13:29.000 We're in that pile of buffalo.

01:13:31.000 We're all being run off the cliff?

01:13:33.000 Yeah, they're going to go off the cliff.

01:13:34.000 There's no way they're not.

01:13:36.000 They're not course-correcting at all. 1.00

01:13:38.000 You know, they're saying stupid shit. 1.00

01:13:40.000 It's all nonsense. 1.00

01:13:42.000 Their understanding of social media and the dynamics that you set up by having completely state-controlled mainstream media where they only said the narratives that you guys wanted.

01:13:53.000 They all said it in step so you could watch different programs.

01:14:01.000 We don't trust you anymore.

01:14:04.000 We don't trust the New York Times.

01:14:05.000 We don't trust the Washington Post.

01:14:06.000 We don't trust CNN or any of the MSNBC where they're all full with propaganda.

01:14:12.000 And so that's why the internet rose. 0.98

01:14:14.000 It's not because there was some sort of a fucking right-wing conspiracy and heavily funded. 1.00

01:14:21.000 No, you guys suck. 1.00

01:14:23.000 You guys fucking suck. 1.00

01:14:26.000 And you're not real people. 1.00

01:14:27.000 Nobody wants to hang out with Brian Stelter.

01:14:30.000 You know what I'm saying? 0.99

01:14:31.000 None of these fucking people are people that people can actually relate to and like. 1.00

01:14:36.000 So much of it was bullshit, too. 1.00

01:14:38.000 Like, I didn't really understand media when I first came into media. 0.99

01:14:41.000 I'd already been, like, in Hollywood and comedy and then ended up in media.

01:14:45.000 And one of the first parties I was ever exposed to was, like, the height of a lot of this, like, 2018. And it was very divided.

01:14:52.000 And people were in true, like, oh, Trump is, like, gonna ruin the world.

01:14:57.000 And there was a Daily Beast party and Ann Coulter was there.

01:15:00.000 And, like, people were all just hanging out. 0.99

01:15:01.000 I'm like, these people don't fucking believe anything they're saying. 0.97

01:15:06.000 I mean, Ann probably does, but these guys don't. 0.98

01:15:10.000 And then I would see this over and over again where people would fight, and then they'd get off, and I'll be like, see you at the play date.

01:15:16.000 And it's like, oh.

01:15:19.000 There was something very strange to me about that. 0.85

01:15:22.000 Do you remember that old cartoon where there was the sheepdog and the coyote, and they would say hi to each other in the morning and punch in, and then they'd fuck each other up all day? 0.61

01:15:31.000 Yeah, that's how it felt. 0.90

01:15:32.000 Morning, Ralph.

01:15:33.000 Morning, Sam.

01:15:37.000 That's exactly how it felt.

01:15:38.000 Well, that's what it's really like.

01:15:40.000 It's pro wrestling.

01:15:42.000 Yeah.

01:15:42.000 You know, I mean, that's one of the things that Kamala Harris said after her debate with Joe Biden, where she called, she believed Joe Biden's accuser that, you know, he had sexually assaulted some woman.

01:15:53.000 Remember that?

01:15:54.000 She said she believed it, this and that.

01:15:55.000 And then they asked her about it on Colbert.

01:15:57.000 She's like, it was a debate!

01:16:00.000 It was a debate!

01:16:02.000 And they're laughing, of course.

01:16:04.000 Of course.

01:16:04.000 It's just a debate.

01:16:06.000 Now you're his fucking vice president? 1.00

01:16:08.000 This is so nuts. 1.00

01:16:09.000 So you said you think the guy's a rapist and now you think he's awesome to run the country and you're so proud of him? 0.99

01:16:14.000 We did it, Joe. 0.99

01:16:15.000 This is crazy.

01:16:16.000 We can't trust you if you're willing to do that for a debate.

01:16:21.000 Yeah.

01:16:22.000 Your debate should be what you really think.

01:16:24.000 You should say, I don't know what happened.

01:16:26.000 I don't know what happened.

01:16:27.000 It's a very troubling accusation.

01:16:29.000 Of course, I don't know what happened.

01:16:30.000 For you to say that you believe it just because you want to win, now all of a sudden I have to say, well, I don't know if I can trust you about foreign policy.

01:16:38.000 I don't know if I can trust you about the economy.

01:16:40.000 I don't know if I can trust you about censorship and the need for a social credit score or all these different things.

01:16:46.000 What is the real person behind these actions?

01:16:50.000 Are you entirely motivated by money and influence?

01:16:54.000 Because that seems like a lot of them. 0.89

01:16:55.000 It's upsetting to me, though, because even though it's It's like, we can see it's like wrestling and some of these people are full of shit and they're all buddies and whatever, like hanging out at Park City or hanging out wherever they hang out.

01:17:09.000 Like, the real people are, I see how like broken some of the Elon thing recently really, it was like a whole new wave of people who were like, I don't know if I can talk to you.

01:17:21.000 I've managed to survive like eight years of the culture war still.

01:17:25.000 Maintaining pretty okay relationships with even the most staunch liberals in my life.

01:17:30.000 And the Elon thing, for some reason, you know, the hand gesture.

01:17:35.000 Oh, the Hitler thing? 0.95

01:17:36.000 Yeah.

01:17:36.000 It, like, put people over the edge and they were like, I can't, I don't know if I can, you know, be friends with a Nazi apologist.

01:17:46.000 I've made it this far, but I legitimately feel bad because the media has told these people that this was literally Hitler for many, many years, and then he's up there shaking hands with Obama, there's Joe Biden, they're all up there, it's a peaceful transfer of power.

01:18:02.000 Have you seen the Kamala one?

01:18:04.000 They're very confused.

01:18:05.000 Have you seen the Kamala one doing the Heil Hitler? 0.99

01:18:07.000 No.

01:18:08.000 You haven't seen it?

01:18:09.000 I'll send it to you, Jamie, if you haven't seen it.

01:18:13.000 Look, a lot of people do that gesture.

01:18:15.000 That gesture is from my heart to you.

01:18:18.000 That's what it is.

01:18:19.000 It's just you really shouldn't do that if you are...

01:18:22.000 You know, if you're standing on a stage and you have an angry look in your face.

01:18:25.000 I was joking, too.

01:18:27.000 Like, what if it was just this kind of autism and he did it? 0.99

01:18:29.000 And then in his brain, he's like, oh, shit, that looked like a Nazi salute. 1.00

01:18:32.000 And then he did it. 1.00

01:18:32.000 Like, if I do it again, then it won't. 1.00

01:18:34.000 And then it's just this cascading freak out.

01:18:36.000 And he's like, from my heart, I love you.

01:18:38.000 Boy, Apple made it like real weird finding things now.

01:18:41.000 They keep messing with this. 0.99

01:18:45.000 Fucking interfaced. 0.99

01:18:46.000 You're like, I can't search Kamala Nazi salute on Apple anymore. 0.99

01:18:51.000 I know I have it, and I know it's good. 1.00

01:18:53.000 Let me find it, you fuckheads. 0.98

01:18:55.000 I haven't seen it. 1.00

01:18:57.000 Oh, it's wonderful.

01:18:58.000 Because usually it's just a picture, and then they show the context, and it's not really actually that.

01:19:03.000 No, no, no, this is great.

01:19:04.000 Of course it's not that.

01:19:06.000 Of course, the context is not that, but here.

01:19:09.000 I'm sorry, this is AOC. Oh, okay. 0.91

01:19:12.000 Have you seen this one?

01:19:13.000 I haven't seen this one.

01:19:14.000 Give me the volume.

01:19:15.000 Everybody does that move.

01:19:30.000 Everybody does.

01:19:31.000 Tim Walsh did that move.

01:19:32.000 Yeah.

01:19:33.000 Kamala Harris did that move. 1.00

01:19:34.000 They all did that move.

01:19:35.000 Yeah.

01:19:35.000 I mean, when you're announcing people to a stage...

01:19:38.000 Thank you.

01:19:39.000 I love you.

01:19:40.000 But here's the problem when you're...

01:19:41.000 I just wrote a column about this.

01:19:43.000 When it is the boy who cries Nazi, the nerds who cry Nazi for all these years, it does end up running cover for Nazis.

01:19:51.000 Oh, 100%.

01:19:52.000 100%.

01:19:54.000 That's part of the real problem.

01:19:56.000 There was one actual real Nazi that I was following.

01:20:00.000 For a while on Twitter.

01:20:02.000 I didn't even have to follow them.

01:20:03.000 I clicked on their links a bunch of times and then it just started showing up in my feed.

01:20:06.000 I'm like, okay, good.

01:20:07.000 Now I don't have to follow you.

01:20:08.000 Right.

01:20:08.000 I could see this insanity.

01:20:10.000 Right.

01:20:10.000 It was crazy.

01:20:11.000 Well, that's why I love free speech because you're like, I would rather see this. 0.94

01:20:16.000 Look, X has porn. 0.99

01:20:18.000 Hardcore porn. 0.99

01:20:18.000 Oh, I know. 0.99

01:20:19.000 I mean, it has everything.

01:20:20.000 You have to watch it on X now because you can't watch it on...

01:20:22.000 You can't get a porn hub now.

01:20:25.000 It's all very weird.

01:20:27.000 Thank you, Elon.

01:20:28.000 It's all very, very, very weird.

01:20:29.000 No, it is.

01:20:29.000 It's a very, very strange time for people to try to figure out what's real and what's not.

01:20:33.000 And you're not going to get a good roadmap from your leaders.

01:20:37.000 You're just not.

01:20:39.000 And I don't think, like, we're not, like, I've been joking, like, we are the fake news now, you know?

01:20:45.000 Yeah, we said that today because that was the video, right?

01:20:49.000 The fake video?

01:20:51.000 Yeah, we are the fake news now.

01:20:53.000 Because, I mean, we're just as susceptible to sharing stuff that's not true. 0.99

01:21:00.000 I think there's a big difference between a massive organization being influenced with talking points by a government and corporations to present something versus an idiot sharing propaganda without knowing it.

01:21:17.000 We, I do, I do wonder like how you, how you have to, you know, I was talking to someone like, is there a way to, I think you have to just like pause, you know? 0.93

01:21:27.000 I assume everything is fake.

01:21:29.000 That's my default.

01:21:30.000 I think you start from there and then you try and do your detective work.

01:21:36.000 Yeah, I, this is my thing.

01:21:38.000 Oh my God, is that real?

01:21:39.000 That doesn't seem real.

01:21:40.000 No.

01:21:41.000 Let me see if that's real.

01:21:42.000 And then a check.

01:21:43.000 Yeah.

01:21:44.000 But that's something over time.

01:21:45.000 Before, when I was younger, I'd be like, I want that to be real, so that's got to be real.

01:21:50.000 Right.

01:21:50.000 Right?

01:21:51.000 That's a problem.

01:21:52.000 Well, that's how my husband kind of taught me to evaluate everything that I get from the media.

01:21:59.000 He's like, I look at something and I go, do I want this to be real or not real?

01:22:06.000 And if so, why?

01:22:07.000 Yes, that's right.

01:22:09.000 Like, if you start there.

01:22:11.000 Yeah.

01:22:12.000 You have a chance.

01:22:13.000 That's me with UFOs.

01:22:15.000 Ah.

01:22:15.000 That's my whole UFO take.

01:22:17.000 Because I, clearly, I want them to be real so bad.

01:22:20.000 I want them to be real so badly.

01:22:22.000 I got one on my desk here.

01:22:22.000 I want them to be real so bad.

01:22:24.000 But the more I fucking look into it, the more I don't believe. 0.96

01:22:30.000 Really? 0.99

01:22:31.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.98

01:22:31.000 I think a lot of it is horseshit. 0.98

01:22:33.000 A lot of it. 0.99

01:22:34.000 But also, maybe some of it's real.

01:22:36.000 It's so...

01:22:38.000 It's unsettling to think that we're the only things out there for me that I wanted to...

01:22:43.000 It's like, that can't be.

01:22:45.000 Surely.

01:22:46.000 It doesn't seem like it even makes sense that that's true.

01:22:49.000 So I don't think that that's true.

01:22:50.000 But I do not know if we've been visited. 0.99

01:22:53.000 But I think a lot of it is bullshit. 1.00

01:22:55.000 I think it's not just bullshit. 1.00

01:22:57.000 I think it's probably government-coordinated bullshit. 1.00

01:23:00.000 I think there's probably sightings that are mass psyops where they're trying to see how people react to things. 0.99

01:23:06.000 I think there's probably crafts that the United States is in possession of that absolutely look like UFOs.

01:23:13.000 I think there's probably propulsion systems that they use for drones that are infinitely more advanced than we do.

01:23:20.000 Right.

01:23:21.000 And so they'd say, oh, it's UFO and it's really their technology.

01:23:24.000 But that doesn't account for the sightings that occurred when it was impossible for that technology to exist.

01:23:29.000 Right.

01:23:29.000 That doesn't take you back to like 1950s with Kenneth Arnold where he saw those flying discs moving through the sky, which is where the term flying saucer came from because it was like saucers skipping across a lake.

01:23:39.000 And what about all the people kind of all over the world who have experienced like a similar thing?

01:23:44.000 And why do all the drawings always look the same?

01:23:47.000 Is that just collective conscious?

01:23:48.000 People have seen one, and then they think that...

01:23:51.000 Or is it...

01:23:52.000 You know how they always look like aliens?

01:23:54.000 There's a lot of possibilities.

01:23:55.000 Another possibility is that the world's not real.

01:23:58.000 And we're in a simulation.

01:23:59.000 Yeah, that there's something...

01:24:01.000 Maybe saying the world's not real is not the best way to put it.

01:24:06.000 It makes me so, like, I want to crawl out of my skin.

01:24:09.000 Maybe the best way to put it is that...

01:24:12.000 It's not real the way we think it's real.

01:24:14.000 Like, there's real consequences to your actions.

01:24:16.000 There's real physical laws that exist in the experience that you're having as a conscious creature moving through this world.

01:24:28.000 But this world's not totally solid all the time.

01:24:31.000 It's solid when you interact with it.

01:24:34.000 The rest of it is vague and weird and malleable.

01:24:40.000 It's constantly changing in that you wake and sleep and wake and sleep and assume that every time you wake up you're in the same exact area, the same space, the environment looks the same.

01:24:53.000 But it might be a completely different dimension.

01:24:55.000 There might be intertwined realities that are constantly experiencing itself over and over and over again.

01:25:02.000 And then there also might be other dimensions that higher beings have the capability of traversing that we don't.

01:25:08.000 And that all these things are...

01:25:10.000 They're happening simultaneously with the actual creation of an artificial reality.

01:25:18.000 It seems so real.

01:25:20.000 Yeah, it all seems so real, but it also seems fake.

01:25:22.000 Well, more and more.

01:25:24.000 I'm sure you know the whole Barron Trump story.

01:25:28.000 You know, the ancient books that talked about a guy named Elon is going to go to Mars.

01:25:34.000 No!

01:25:34.000 You never saw about that?

01:25:35.000 No!

01:25:36.000 It is so crazy that even Elon saw that and was like, is this real?

01:25:40.000 Like, how is this real?

01:25:41.000 Was it from 1853?

01:25:43.000 Why does this have to do with Barron Trump?

01:25:45.000 Because it's about a guy named Barron Trump and his guru is named Don.

01:25:51.000 Yeah.

01:25:51.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:25:53.000 What?

01:25:54.000 I feel like I saw something like this and I was like this.

01:25:57.000 Barron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey.

01:25:59.000 What is this?

01:26:00.000 It's a book.

01:26:01.000 Who wrote it?

01:26:02.000 It is from 1893. Nearly forgotten, Barron Trump's marvelous underground journey blends science fiction and fantasy in a story told by little Barron Trump, an aristocrat boy, there you go, that's what he is, who sets out from Castle Trump, which is where he lives, to discover a world within a world that he read about in a 15th Central manuscript, celebrated thinker in philosophy he learned Spaniard Don from.

01:26:27.000 Don.

01:26:28.000 Don.

01:26:28.000 His guy, Don.

01:26:29.000 Yeah.

01:26:30.000 Join Barron Trump and his faithful dog and companion, Bulger.

01:26:33.000 They set off at Northern Russia in search of his portal.

01:26:35.000 Subterranean.

01:26:36.000 But there's also the other thing.

01:26:38.000 They go back to Castle Trump.

01:26:40.000 There's the other thing about Wernher von Braun.

01:26:42.000 So Wernher von Braun, who was the head of NASA, wrote a novel, a fictional novel about a guy named Elon that takes us to Mars.

01:26:55.000 Yeah.

01:26:56.000 So there's like parts of reality that don't seem real.

01:27:00.000 Yeah.

01:27:00.000 They seem...

01:27:01.000 Like a wink, like an Easter egg, like someone is like winking at you through the simulation.

01:27:09.000 I'm just like an extra in the simulation.

01:27:11.000 You're a part of it.

01:27:12.000 It's your version of it that you're going through.

01:27:15.000 You are the person who's experiencing your world.

01:27:19.000 I just don't know if your world and my world are exactly the same.

01:27:23.000 Right.

01:27:24.000 Well, no.

01:27:25.000 I think they're bubbles.

01:27:27.000 And I think the way you interface with the world changes what your bubble consists of.

01:27:34.000 Okay.

01:27:35.000 Yeah.

01:27:36.000 And I think it's all very...

01:27:40.000 It's very weird.

01:27:41.000 I don't think it's as simple as that rancher lady thinks when she gets up and feeds her chickens. 1.00

01:27:47.000 I think that's her world.

01:27:48.000 Right.

01:27:49.000 That's her world. 0.90

01:27:49.000 But I think the universe itself and how we interact consciously with it and all the things around us, I think it's squirrely. 0.90

01:27:57.000 I think it's real squirrely. 0.95

01:27:59.000 And I think every now and then the universe shows us something like this fucking Werner Von Braun book where you go, what? 0.98

01:28:05.000 Even the name Elon and Mars, what are the fucking odds? 0.97

01:28:10.000 And then it turns out that Elon was actually named by his father when his father read that book. 0.98

01:28:16.000 Oh, okay.

01:28:17.000 But no, even crazier. 0.99

01:28:19.000 What is the odds your son is going to be the guy who goes to fucking Mars? 0.99

01:28:22.000 My daughter is obsessed with Mars. 0.99

01:28:25.000 And we always, like, know all the planets.

01:28:27.000 And it's weird.

01:28:28.000 I have no obsession with Mars.

01:28:30.000 But she's obsessed with the stars, the planets.

01:28:32.000 She can point them out at night.

01:28:34.000 She's like, that's Jupiter, that's Mars, blah, blah, blah.

01:28:36.000 And we asked her one day, we said, which planet do humans live on?

01:28:40.000 And she said, Earth and Mars.

01:28:42.000 And I was like...

01:28:43.000 Maybe.

01:28:43.000 Well, you saw the square.

01:28:45.000 Yeah.

01:28:45.000 That square on Mars.

01:28:47.000 Is that real?

01:28:47.000 Yes, that's real.

01:28:48.000 That's a real photo.

01:28:50.000 That's a real satellite image of Mars where you see a square structure.

01:28:55.000 By the way, it's right down the street.

01:28:57.000 It's like a hike away from Cydonia, the face on Mars.

01:29:01.000 So it's a hike away from that thing that they saw from...

01:29:05.000 God, I want to say it was like the 1970s.

01:29:08.000 They sent a satellite to Mars to take photographs of the surface, and they saw this thing that looked like a face.

01:29:14.000 The face on Mars, though, it seems like what that is is just light with shitty resolution, and it looked like a face.

01:29:22.000 What's interesting more about the face on Mars, so that's the original image.

01:29:26.000 Okay.

01:29:26.000 See, the problem with that is, it's just, it's not clear enough.

01:29:29.000 It could be anything.

01:29:30.000 Yeah.

01:29:31.000 Now, go to the modern images of the face on Mars.

01:29:35.000 You can see them right there.

01:29:36.000 It's right below.

01:29:36.000 See the slide right there, where you just were.

01:29:39.000 Okay, that's kind of creepy.

01:29:39.000 To the right, to the right.

01:29:40.000 Yeah, right there.

01:29:41.000 Click on that.

01:29:41.000 So that's what it actually looks like.

01:29:43.000 Okay.

01:29:44.000 So you could see how that just looks like a mountain.

01:29:47.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:29:48.000 But what's interesting is the shape of it.

01:29:50.000 The shape of it is weird.

01:29:51.000 How it curves at the bottom and it's kind of equal-sided and it goes up to the top and it has right-angle turns.

01:29:57.000 So that image of what that thing is, where that's located, is just a small hike away from this immense square that they've discovered.

01:30:07.000 That's 200...

01:30:09.000 They don't know exactly how big it is, but the rough estimate is somewhere around 200 meters across.

01:30:14.000 What do they think it is?

01:30:15.000 It's a structure.

01:30:17.000 That's what I think it is.

01:30:18.000 I don't think it can be anything other than a structure.

01:30:20.000 What does Elon think it is?

01:30:23.000 He thought it was wild.

01:30:24.000 Has he commented on it?

01:30:25.000 I mean, I sent him a text message.

01:30:27.000 I said, imagine if you go up there and you find evidence of a previous civilization. 0.98

01:30:31.000 He's like, that is fucking wild. 0.95

01:30:32.000 It's wild because that's a real square. 0.99

01:30:35.000 What the...

01:30:36.000 Yeah, that just doesn't seem like that would exist naturally.

01:30:40.000 It doesn't seem like it's possible for it to be a perfect square.

01:30:42.000 Yeah, that's crazy.

01:30:44.000 I thought this was fake.

01:30:46.000 No, no, no.

01:30:46.000 No, it's real.

01:30:47.000 It's real.

01:30:48.000 It's very disturbing because that's a fairly high-resolution image.

01:30:53.000 And Elon has backed a mission to Mars to go and check that out.

01:30:56.000 They want to check it out.

01:30:57.000 See, there's an article right there from the Daily Mail, Elon backs mission to Mars, where he wants to...

01:31:04.000 Send something up there to check it out.

01:31:07.000 If you see these images, I don't think there's a chance in hell that that's not made by someone.

01:31:12.000 That seems very strange.

01:31:13.000 I don't think that nature makes a square.

01:31:16.000 No!

01:31:16.000 I mean...

01:31:17.000 Is that a rectangle or a square?

01:31:19.000 I mean, what are the...

01:31:20.000 Is it perfectly square?

01:31:23.000 It might be slightly off.

01:31:25.000 Whatever it is, it's four right-angle turns.

01:31:29.000 Conspiracy theorists have likened the structure of the Great Pyramid in Egypt.

01:31:33.000 Conspiracy theorists is a nice way to put it. 0.98

01:31:35.000 How about just people looking at it going, what the fuck is that? 0.94

01:31:37.000 I know, why do they always call them conspiracy theorists? 1.00

01:31:40.000 Because they're assholes. 1.00

01:31:41.000 They're assholes, and they work for the Daily Mail. 1.00

01:31:44.000 So it's right down the street from that area, which is really crazy. 1.00

01:31:47.000 And what do they think the face is?

01:31:47.000 Just like a giant stuck in the Martian surface?

01:31:51.000 I don't think anybody really thinks it's a face anymore.

01:31:53.000 If you scroll up and look at that image from July 1976, that image, what's interesting to me is not the face, because I don't think it's a face, but what's interesting to me is the shape of the base of it.

01:32:04.000 The shape of the base of it is weird.

01:32:06.000 It's flat on the bottom, equal-sided, and domed on the top.

01:32:09.000 It looks unnatural.

01:32:10.000 It doesn't mean it's unnatural. 0.95

01:32:11.000 There's a lot of shit that looks unnatural in nature that is actually natural, but not squares. 0.96

01:32:17.000 That giant square where it looks like building... 0.99

01:32:20.000 There was like a civilization there?

01:32:23.000 Yes.

01:32:24.000 Well, the thing is, Mars had a real atmosphere.

01:32:28.000 Mars has liquid water.

01:32:30.000 We know it does.

01:32:31.000 And at one point in time, they think that Mars was capable of sustaining life.

01:32:37.000 So if you imagine the planets over time get further and further away from the sun.

01:32:41.000 If you go back a billion years, how much closer was Mars to the sun?

01:32:46.000 And what was the temperature like?

01:32:48.000 And we were like Venus?

01:32:49.000 Yeah.

01:32:51.000 There's people that believe that the initial civilization escaped Mars and came to Earth.

01:32:56.000 Oh.

01:32:58.000 What about the moons of Jupiter?

01:33:00.000 Well, there's one.

01:33:02.000 Europa or something?

01:33:03.000 Yeah, Europa, that's solid ice, and they think underneath that, well, the surface is solid ice, and they think underneath that is liquid water, and liquid water is capable of supporting life.

01:33:11.000 So it's possible, especially when you see, like, those thermal vents that they find in the bottom of the ocean that sustain some form of life.

01:33:18.000 There might be some form of life inside the oceans of Europa.

01:33:21.000 Are you joking about all this stuff?

01:33:23.000 No.

01:33:24.000 No, I'm not joking about Mars.

01:33:25.000 That image, it sounds really crazy.

01:33:27.000 No, I mean, are you joking about it on stage?

01:33:30.000 Sometimes.

01:33:30.000 I used to have this whole bit about Mars.

01:33:32.000 But there's places in America that you can't live to.

01:33:35.000 Like, go to Death Valley, look around.

01:33:36.000 Sucks, right?

01:33:37.000 No one lives here. 1.00

01:33:38.000 That's because it sucks. 0.99

01:33:39.000 Get out of here. 0.99

01:33:40.000 You're not going to fix that, and you're going to go fix Mars?

01:33:43.000 I mean, I have no desire.

01:33:44.000 The whole planet has no air.

01:33:46.000 Yeah, no, it's not appealing to me at all.

01:33:48.000 Some people, you watch these documentaries, and they're like, I think of Mars like my second home.

01:33:53.000 I want to go live there.

01:33:54.000 I'm like, it sounds horrible.

01:33:54.000 They also think they're a cat.

01:33:56.000 I'm also a foxkin.

01:34:00.000 Space just feels claustrophobic to me, even though it's vast.

01:34:04.000 Until you can build things that make it feel a little more...

01:34:08.000 I don't want to get in a tube and go live in a...

01:34:12.000 Do you watch Silo?

01:34:14.000 No, I haven't watched it.

01:34:15.000 I love Silo.

01:34:16.000 Is it good?

01:34:16.000 I love anything that's like post-apocalyptic show where people are living in a wasteland or in some weird, and they're underground in all these silos, and they all have to live, and there's people at the bottom, and it's really, but it's definitely like, they've never seen the sun, they've never seen...

01:34:36.000 The sky.

01:34:37.000 You know, it's like they've had an alternate history that's been kind of told to them.

01:34:42.000 Jesus.

01:34:43.000 Yeah.

01:34:44.000 Yeah, that's all possible.

01:34:45.000 Yeah, that's like a post-nuclear world.

01:34:47.000 Like when the AI gets smart and nukes us all.

01:34:51.000 Yeah, but how are we going to get vitamin D down there?

01:34:53.000 It's not good.

01:34:54.000 They have like plants and trees.

01:34:56.000 You don't get vitamin D from plants?

01:34:58.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:35:00.000 Now that you like burned the boat and all of your stuff, are you just kind of having fun?

01:35:06.000 Rebuilding?

01:35:07.000 What do you mean?

01:35:08.000 Now that you just did all your material.

01:35:11.000 Oh, stand-up-wise?

01:35:12.000 Yeah.

01:35:12.000 Just having fun.

01:35:13.000 Just trying to come up with a new hour and fucking around. 0.98

01:35:17.000 It's so fun. 0.98

01:35:18.000 It's a weird time for comedy.

01:35:22.000 Do you think?

01:35:24.000 Yeah.

01:35:25.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:35:26.000 Well, it's a really good time for comedy.

01:35:27.000 Well, yeah, I feel like it's a great time.

01:35:29.000 Yeah, there's so much information.

01:35:30.000 But it's a weird time, too, because the center of comedy has now moved to Texas.

01:35:35.000 That's awesome.

01:35:35.000 So that's weird.

01:35:36.000 That's a crazy thing.

01:35:37.000 That's your fault.

01:35:38.000 And it's also moved online, which is also a crazy thing.

01:35:41.000 Main promotional aspect of comedy is now online.

01:35:44.000 I heard Jesselnik talking about this, about being like a Clips comic.

01:35:48.000 I saw a clip of him going around talking about being a Clips comic.

01:35:54.000 How ironic.

01:35:55.000 Yeah, it was very meta.

01:35:59.000 But he was talking about how before people would recognize him in the old ways, and now people recognize him.

01:36:07.000 He said it's like a different level of fame from...

01:36:10.000 When he was famous before just for stand-up, now he's like the Clips guy.

01:36:14.000 But I think that's like everyone, right?

01:36:17.000 It's just a different medium.

01:36:18.000 That's all it is.

01:36:20.000 It's no different than you being on some Comedy Central show.

01:36:23.000 It's just way more impactful.

01:36:24.000 I've talked to a lot of people about how the videos...

01:36:30.000 Crowd work videos have changed crowds because now crowds think they're helping you by chiming in.

01:36:38.000 It's some crazy percentage of people who have never been to a comedy show at a comedy show.

01:36:46.000 A very high percentage of people have never been to a comedy show at every comedy show.

01:36:52.000 Isn't that weird?

01:36:52.000 It's quite high.

01:36:54.000 Interesting, right?

01:36:55.000 So they're accustomed to seeing Matt Rife stuff.

01:37:00.000 And so they think they're actually helping you by heckling so that you can get your...

01:37:05.000 I don't think they think they're helping you.

01:37:06.000 I think they want to be heard.

01:37:08.000 They want to be a part of it.

01:37:09.000 That's the way they get in.

01:37:10.000 I'm helping!

01:37:12.000 You just want to chime in. 0.99

01:37:15.000 I saw some video clip of some lady losing her shit on some guy in the audience. 1.00

01:37:18.000 Oh, I saw this. 1.00

01:37:19.000 Yeah, it's very weird.

01:37:21.000 And everyone's like, this is amazing!

01:37:23.000 It's not really amazing.

01:37:24.000 I was like, it seems upsetting.

01:37:29.000 It's also not very well handled.

01:37:31.000 The whole experience is not expertly, there's not a lot of humor in there.

01:37:37.000 People love it.

01:37:38.000 This is comedy.

01:37:41.000 It's subjective, I guess.

01:37:42.000 Well, that's not comedy.

01:37:44.000 That's just people talking.

01:37:46.000 One person with a microphone in power and one person in the audience is challenging that. 1.00

01:37:50.000 Give me the microphone and fuck you. 1.00

01:37:53.000 It's wild, like the clips thing. 1.00

01:37:56.000 The clips are feeding...

01:37:58.000 Feeding the algorithm is freaking, it's such a crazy thing to me.

01:38:02.000 Well, that's with everything, right?

01:38:04.000 Clips from podcasts are way more popular than the podcasts themselves.

01:38:07.000 Yeah.

01:38:07.000 So many clips go viral on, you know, X. You think TikTok's going to be banned?

01:38:13.000 No.

01:38:14.000 No?

01:38:14.000 No.

01:38:15.000 They'll keep it?

01:38:15.000 Yeah.

01:38:16.000 Yeah, I don't think so. 1.00

01:38:18.000 The fucking president uses it. 1.00

01:38:20.000 I met the fucking CEO of TikTok when I was at the inauguration. 1.00

01:38:24.000 What was that like? 0.99

01:38:25.000 Like, uh... 1.00

01:38:26.000 Being in Satan's balls. 0.99

01:38:29.000 Where? 1.00

01:38:31.000 Just going to the actual fucking... 1.00

01:38:33.000 Inauguration? 1.00

01:38:34.000 The actual house of government.

01:38:37.000 Being in the actual buildings where all this stuff gets done.

01:38:41.000 It's very, very strange.

01:38:43.000 How long were you there?

01:38:44.000 A couple days.

01:38:45.000 And so you went to some of the balls? 0.85

01:38:48.000 The balls? 0.67

01:38:49.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:38:50.000 Was it like...

01:38:50.000 Hunger Games?

01:38:52.000 It's like really rich entitled people that donated a lot of money.

01:38:56.000 They just like jump in front of you to take pictures with you.

01:38:59.000 They don't care who you're talking to.

01:39:01.000 Everybody was like super pushy.

01:39:03.000 It's all very transactional.

01:39:05.000 Everybody needs to get on your podcast and needs to talk to you about a thing and you have to get this person.

01:39:10.000 It's like everything's exhausting and everybody's wealthy.

01:39:13.000 And they're also, they spent a lot of money to get there.

01:39:16.000 Like a lot of those people, they donated like a million dollars. 0.99

01:39:19.000 Holy shit. 0.99

01:39:20.000 Thousands of people donate a million dollars. 1.00

01:39:23.000 Just to be there.

01:39:24.000 Just to be there. 0.97

01:39:25.000 And they're all fucking just super enthusiastic because their team just won. 0.97

01:39:31.000 Right. 0.96

01:39:31.000 And it's the inauguration of the president and Kid Rock's there and everybody's going crazy. 0.96

01:39:36.000 It was fun for a while.

01:39:38.000 It was me and Tony Hinchcliffe and Theo Vaughn.

01:39:42.000 Lex?

01:39:43.000 Logan Paul was there.

01:39:44.000 Oh yeah, I saw that.

01:39:45.000 And Jake Paul.

01:39:46.000 And we were all having a good old time.

01:39:48.000 We were laughing and having fun.

01:39:50.000 And then too many people just started swarming us.

01:39:53.000 And then it was just like, you're dealing with like 10,000 people in this room and you can't move.

01:39:57.000 You can't go anywhere.

01:39:58.000 Right.

01:39:59.000 And it got crazy.

01:39:59.000 You couldn't have a conversation.

01:40:01.000 You had to just try to get out of there.

01:40:04.000 Was the inauguration like moving?

01:40:07.000 Was it?

01:40:07.000 Did you?

01:40:08.000 Fascinating.

01:40:09.000 Was it weird to be part of all that, like, pomp and...

01:40:12.000 Oh, yeah.

01:40:13.000 It was very weird.

01:40:14.000 Very, very...

01:40:14.000 Were you in the main...

01:40:16.000 Oh, I was on the stage.

01:40:17.000 I was in the fifth row.

01:40:19.000 Oh.

01:40:20.000 I was, like, right there.

01:40:22.000 I was unaware.

01:40:23.000 Yeah, I was, like... 0.99

01:40:23.000 Looking at Lauren Sanchez's tits. 0.99

01:40:25.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:40:26.000 I could have thrown a pebble and hit Hillary Clinton in the head. 1.00

01:40:29.000 Oh. 0.99

01:40:29.000 Yeah, they were right there. 0.99

01:40:31.000 It was weird.

01:40:32.000 First of all, it's weird watching, like, Bill Clinton walk into a room.

01:40:36.000 Right.

01:40:36.000 Like, he's real.

01:40:38.000 That's him.

01:40:38.000 Yeah.

01:40:39.000 All the shit that guy's escaped, and there he is, right there. 1.00

01:40:42.000 Oh, TV, hey, how you doing? 1.00

01:40:44.000 Good to see you.

01:40:45.000 Good to see you.

01:40:47.000 Weird.

01:40:48.000 It's weird.

01:40:48.000 It's weird seeing those people.

01:40:50.000 It's funny they let you in there.

01:40:52.000 I know, right?

01:40:54.000 Whenever I'm in situations like that, I'm like, why are they letting me in here?

01:40:58.000 They should know better.

01:40:59.000 I thought of that a little, but, you know, it's cool.

01:41:03.000 It was weird.

01:41:04.000 You only get to be at one of those maybe once in your life if you're really lucky.

01:41:09.000 Especially that one which was indoors because it was insanely cold outside.

01:41:13.000 Yeah, that seems like probably better. 0.98

01:41:15.000 Oh yeah, it was cold as fuck outside too. 0.96

01:41:18.000 Definitely better for security. 0.99

01:41:19.000 But it was very cold outside and windy and shit. 0.87

01:41:22.000 Is it weird to be like, I don't know, I was looking at all the people up there and it was just, it seems like it's so much... 0.98

01:41:30.000 I don't know.

01:41:31.000 It seems like it's just like...

01:41:34.000 Is everyone kissing the ring?

01:41:36.000 Does it feel kind of like...

01:41:37.000 You know what I mean?

01:41:39.000 Is it like a...

01:41:40.000 I don't know.

01:41:42.000 Does it feel kind of gross?

01:41:44.000 Or was it like cool?

01:41:46.000 Well, it feels strange.

01:41:49.000 It feels strange that it's real.

01:41:50.000 It also feels strange that we're standing up because there's a standing ovation every 15 seconds.

01:41:56.000 We're going to turn the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of America!

01:41:59.000 We're all standing up. 1.00

01:42:00.000 Fuck yeah, we're going to do that. 0.99

01:42:04.000 It was fun watching George Bush. 1.00

01:42:06.000 George Bush was the only guy clapping.

01:42:07.000 He was having a good time.

01:42:08.000 All the other presidents looked deeply disturbed. 1.00

01:42:10.000 Kamala Harris had this motherfucker. 1.00

01:42:13.000 Look on her face the entire time. 1.00

01:42:15.000 She sat there like this the entire time.

01:42:17.000 Well, I mean...

01:42:18.000 Very upset.

01:42:19.000 Obviously. 0.99

01:42:20.000 Well, also, he's talking about how bad they sucked. 0.97

01:42:23.000 And she lost. 0.95

01:42:24.000 And they're right there.

01:42:25.000 And she has to sit there.

01:42:26.000 And she's sitting right next to Biden, who's...

01:42:28.000 Who's not there.

01:42:30.000 He's just gone.

01:42:31.000 Yeah.

01:42:31.000 Yeah, and then behind them is Obama and George W. That's wild, man.

01:42:38.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:42:38.000 I was like, I hope there's like a, you know, what's that called when there's like the extra person or whatever, the designated survivor?

01:42:46.000 I'm like...

01:42:46.000 Yeah, because they're all in the room.

01:42:48.000 There's a lot of people. 1.00

01:42:48.000 You could really fuck America up right now. 1.00

01:42:50.000 One bomb. 0.99

01:42:51.000 Yeah, I think they're aware of that.

01:42:53.000 I think there's probably steps taken to make sure that the skies are clear.

01:42:56.000 But it's very strange, but also kind of exciting.

01:43:02.000 Because if he really does get to do all this stuff, if we really do see radical change, it seems like that's what's happening.

01:43:09.000 And if Bobby Kennedy really does get in, and if Tulsi Gabbard really does get in, this is a crazy time.

01:43:15.000 Yeah.

01:43:16.000 This is like an unprecedented cabinet of people that are kind of unified and all know each other.

01:43:22.000 They're all friends.

01:43:23.000 And it's also kind of bipartisan.

01:43:25.000 Like, RFK Jr. brought...

01:43:27.000 He brought so many people over.

01:43:29.000 I know so many people who were not going to vote for Trump, but then when he kind of brought RFK Jr. over, they were like, alright.

01:43:36.000 I mean, if he's there.

01:43:38.000 And Tulsi, too.

01:43:39.000 They were libs. 0.96

01:43:42.000 I don't know.

01:43:43.000 That must have been pretty...

01:43:46.000 It's bizarre.

01:43:47.000 It's bizarre.

01:43:48.000 It seemed like, I was like, that must be so surreal to be there.

01:43:51.000 Because it was surreal to watch it just like when you think about the fact that he nearly got killed.

01:43:56.000 Like the whole sequence of events that led to that moment.

01:44:00.000 Yeah.

01:44:01.000 The debate where he just like fell apart.

01:44:06.000 Just was surreal to watch.

01:44:08.000 So I was wondering, like, that must be pretty bonkers to be there.

01:44:12.000 He should have seen Biden his face the entire time.

01:44:15.000 He looked upset.

01:44:18.000 Almost like he was going to cry at one point in time.

01:44:20.000 He looked so upset.

01:44:22.000 I think he thinks he could have won.

01:44:23.000 Do you have any fears about it?

01:44:25.000 Like, what about the Riviera?

01:44:28.000 Oh, the Gaza thing? 0.96

01:44:30.000 The Riviera!

01:44:31.000 The Riviera of the Middle East! 0.95

01:44:32.000 You did such a good impression of me.

01:44:34.000 I thought I could.

01:44:36.000 It's, uh, yeah, I mean, what's the alternative to that happening?

01:44:41.000 They're saying no U.S. military will be there.

01:44:43.000 The United States is going to clean it up, rebuild it, give it to the Palestinians, make it safe. 1.00

01:44:47.000 Oh, okay.

01:44:48.000 Get rid of Hamas. 0.95

01:44:49.000 I mean, the thing is, what...

01:44:51.000 Palestinians want is a state.

01:44:53.000 Yeah.

01:44:53.000 They want their own state and this is like a step sort of away from that.

01:44:57.000 Yeah.

01:44:57.000 Now it'll be that section of that area is now controlled by the United States.

01:45:04.000 What the fuck? 0.99

01:45:05.000 And Greenland. 1.00

01:45:06.000 Don't forget Greenland.

01:45:07.000 The question is like what's the better option?

01:45:09.000 Like give it to Hamas? 0.97

01:45:10.000 What's the better option?

01:45:11.000 Give it to the Palestinians and they give it to the Islamic State? 0.98

01:45:15.000 Like who gets it?

01:45:16.000 I'm not smart enough for any of this.

01:45:18.000 Also, how did you let it happen in the first place? 1.00

01:45:21.000 How did this administration let them just bomb the fucking shit out of all those people and blow up an entire city to the point where you... 0.99

01:45:30.000 You could even feasibly say that you would rebuild it. 1.00

01:45:33.000 Because it's not like before this had happened, if anybody had ever said the United States is going to go into Gaza and completely rebuild it and make it the United States, everybody's like, fuck you. 0.99

01:45:43.000 You need to give that to Palestine. 0.99

01:45:45.000 But once you blow it up, you're like, well, I guess.

01:45:48.000 There's nothing left.

01:45:48.000 People are pushing back against it.

01:45:50.000 A lot of people are upset, but not as upset as they would if they didn't blow it up.

01:45:55.000 Oh, that's weird.

01:45:56.000 Yeah.

01:45:56.000 Because it's weird.

01:45:59.000 It's horrible.

01:46:01.000 And we've just accepted the fact that this is what Israel did. 0.88

01:46:04.000 And, you know, for 1,200 people and 250 hostages, they killed 60,000 people.

01:46:09.000 Is that the actual number?

01:46:10.000 Who knows?

01:46:12.000 I don't know what the number is.

01:46:13.000 Yeah.

01:46:13.000 What's the current number of people that are dead in Gaza right now?

01:46:17.000 It's such a weird thing, too, because Israel, I feel like, has to, like, not win a war, which is a weird thing, where they have to, like, they're in a position where they...

01:46:26.000 They already won the war.

01:46:27.000 I mean, what war?

01:46:29.000 It's one army.

01:46:30.000 There's one army and some terrorists.

01:46:32.000 It's like Bill Hicks' joke about Iraq.

01:46:33.000 Like, it's only a war when there's two armies fighting.

01:46:36.000 They're like, whoa, Bill, Iraq's the fourth largest army.

01:46:39.000 He goes, yeah, well, after the top two, there's a huge drop-off.

01:46:41.000 He's like the Salvation Army is number three.

01:46:45.000 I don't want there to be war.

01:46:47.000 I think most people agree on that.

01:46:49.000 Of course, but also we don't live in Israel, right? 0.98

01:46:52.000 We don't have to live with the Iron Dome because missiles are being shot into your city and you watch them explode up in the sky because your military has these rockets that shoot up in the sky missiles and take these fucking missiles out. 0.94

01:47:05.000 Yeah, I think about like if it was my daughter that was like in some tunnel, I would be like... 0.95

01:47:10.000 Yeah.

01:47:10.000 There'd be no lengths.

01:47:12.000 Well, that's...

01:47:12.000 You know, I know that's very, like, selfish of me, but that is, on a personal level, I'm like, I can't even imagine how I would feel in that situation as a parent.

01:47:23.000 Of course.

01:47:24.000 Well, that's the deepest conspiracy theory about why it happened in the first place, is because Netanyahu was losing power and people were protesting against him in the streets, and what better way... 0.51

01:47:33.000 To get everybody on your side than to allow an attack to take place.

01:47:38.000 That's the darkest of the false flag conspiracy theories.

01:47:41.000 I have a lot of people that I know who now think 9-11 was an inside job after October 7th.

01:47:49.000 Oh, Jesus.

01:47:49.000 Isn't that crazy?

01:47:50.000 They're like, well, if they would do it here, they would do it.

01:47:53.000 Why wouldn't they do it in America?

01:47:56.000 It's been like this kind of reverse leap.

01:47:59.000 Yeah.

01:47:59.000 Well, anytime you have a big tragedy like 9-11, you're always going to have a bunch of wild theories.

01:48:05.000 But some of them are interesting.

01:48:08.000 You're supposed to dismiss them all because they're conspiracy theories.

01:48:12.000 But Tower 7 is like, explain that.

01:48:15.000 I can't.

01:48:16.000 I have people in my life who are very much like truthers, I think, about this. 0.94

01:48:24.000 That's a weird one.

01:48:25.000 That's a weird one.

01:48:27.000 What's the conspiracy around Tower 7?

01:48:30.000 It collapses like a controlled demolition completely into its base.

01:48:36.000 No building's ever done that before without being a controlled demolition.

01:48:41.000 It doesn't have all the signature aspects of a controlled demolition.

01:48:45.000 Like if you ever watch like when they blow up one of them Vegas casinos.

01:48:48.000 Yeah.

01:48:48.000 Super obvious.

01:48:49.000 It goes bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

01:48:52.000 And it all collapses.

01:48:53.000 It doesn't have that.

01:48:54.000 But it does have something similar in that the effect is the same.

01:48:58.000 So is it possible to do that without having it the way the casinos do it?

01:49:03.000 Is there only one way to have a controlled demolition of a building?

01:49:06.000 Or is it possible that just immense diesel fires weaken the structure uniformly in such a weird way that it collapsed exactly like...

01:49:17.000 A controlled demolition, but it's just the result of this.

01:49:21.000 Just a coincidence. 0.96

01:49:21.000 Yeah, they had diesel generators in the basement of that thing, and the whole fucking inside of it was on fire. 0.96

01:49:26.000 So when you see it on the outside, you only see a little bit of fire and some holes, but the entire inside of it was in flames. 0.95

01:49:32.000 We're living in a simulation.

01:49:34.000 Maybe that.

01:49:35.000 Maybe that's another wink. 1.00

01:49:36.000 Maybe that's another fucking... 1.00

01:49:39.000 We didn't have social media, though, thank God. 1.00

01:49:41.000 Right.

01:49:42.000 During that.

01:49:42.000 Can you imagine?

01:49:43.000 No, but we did have plenty of people that were questioning it once they saw it on television.

01:49:47.000 Because you saw it on TV and you're like, what is that?

01:49:49.000 How does it do that?

01:49:50.000 That wasn't even hit by a plane.

01:49:52.000 Do you remember seeing the skyline the first time you went to New York?

01:49:55.000 Oh, without the Twin Towers?

01:49:57.000 I don't think I actually saw it.

01:50:00.000 I went back in 2001. I was there in 2001. Yeah.

01:50:04.000 Maybe 2002. It was probably a couple of months after September 11th.

01:50:07.000 I took a train in November.

01:50:09.000 And because I took the train in, I always used to take the train in from Rhode Island where I was.

01:50:16.000 And it was so jarring.

01:50:19.000 They were so part of that.

01:50:21.000 They were so huge.

01:50:22.000 Yeah, and you just took it for granted.

01:50:24.000 That was the landscape.

01:50:27.000 I'll never forget it.

01:50:29.000 I thought it was weird too that when they rebuilt it, they didn't make it as tall.

01:50:33.000 Why didn't they?

01:50:34.000 I don't know.

01:50:36.000 It's only one building now.

01:50:37.000 It's not two.

01:50:38.000 I know.

01:50:38.000 And it's not as tall.

01:50:40.000 It's pretty tall.

01:50:42.000 But they didn't get crazy. 0.99

01:50:43.000 We're going to make the biggest fucking building the world's ever seen. 0.99

01:50:46.000 It's going to be like a middle finger to the world. 1.00

01:50:48.000 If Trump was there, he'd be like, we're going to have two buildings on the side and one right up your ass. 1.00

01:50:54.000 It's like, fuck you. 1.00

01:50:56.000 It looks like that. 1.00

01:50:59.000 It's smaller.

01:51:01.000 Smaller than the original buildings.

01:51:03.000 I do wonder, like, I just, I'm so curious about what it's going to be like for our kids.

01:51:07.000 Yeah, that's what it looks like now.

01:51:08.000 Yeah.

01:51:10.000 Is it the tallest building in the U.S.? Yeah, but it's not as tall, right?

01:51:14.000 I don't know what the height was.

01:51:16.000 I think it's shorter.

01:51:18.000 No, if it's shorter than a...

01:51:20.000 Still the tallest?

01:51:21.000 The World Trade Center wasn't the tallest building.

01:51:23.000 No, not in the world.

01:51:24.000 No, in the U.S. even.

01:51:25.000 Oh, it wasn't?

01:51:26.000 The Sears Tower was bigger.

01:51:27.000 Really?

01:51:28.000 Yeah, 100%.

01:51:29.000 Where's the Sears Tower?

01:51:31.000 Chicago.

01:51:31.000 That's taller than the World Trade Center?

01:51:33.000 It was.

01:51:34.000 Whoa.

01:51:35.000 Now this is the top.

01:51:35.000 I didn't know that.

01:51:37.000 Yeah.

01:51:37.000 The Sears Tower was the tallest building in the world for a while.

01:51:40.000 So the Twin Towers were taller than the Sears Tower?

01:51:43.000 They were shorter.

01:51:44.000 They were shorter.

01:51:45.000 Yeah, I don't know why you're saying that, I guess.

01:51:48.000 Oh, it's the same.

01:51:50.000 Oh, it has the same name as the North Tower of the original.

01:51:54.000 How tall is it?

01:51:55.000 It is shorter, though, right?

01:51:57.000 Isn't it?

01:51:58.000 I don't know that.

01:51:59.000 So the Willis Tower was the tallest one.

01:52:01.000 I remember people being upset when they were rebuilding it because it wasn't going to be as tall.

01:52:08.000 1776. So 110 stories was the original one, and the tower was 1,350 feet high.

01:52:19.000 How tall is the one now?

01:52:21.000 1776. So it's taller?

01:52:23.000 Yep.

01:52:24.000 Really?

01:52:25.000 Yeah.

01:52:25.000 Wait a minute.

01:52:26.000 Really?

01:52:28.000 Can I see the image again?

01:52:29.000 I don't know where else you want me to go with this.

01:52:31.000 No, no, no.

01:52:32.000 Is it because they cheat with that big pole at the top? 1.00

01:52:34.000 I mean, they do that with all of them.

01:52:36.000 The other one had a big pole on top, too.

01:52:38.000 But isn't that to stop lightning bolts?

01:52:40.000 Some of it.

01:52:41.000 Some of it's antenna stuff.

01:52:42.000 Some of it's to talk to aliens.

01:52:43.000 Some of it's cell phone tower.

01:52:46.000 Okay, I'm wrong.

01:52:46.000 I thought it was shorter.

01:52:49.000 Maybe what they were saying is it's smaller because there's only one instead of two.

01:52:54.000 The spire makes it 1776. The spire.

01:52:57.000 How tall is that fucking spire? 1.00

01:52:58.000 The spire of the World Trade Center. 1.00

01:53:01.000 I never saw this.

01:53:02.000 They're saying that's what made Tower 7 fall.

01:53:04.000 It made a gash.

01:53:08.000 What?

01:53:09.000 What made a gash?

01:53:10.000 The spire on the tower here fell and made a gash down the side and started a fire here.

01:53:16.000 I've never seen this video.

01:53:18.000 Interesting.

01:53:19.000 I was just looking through it to see what...

01:53:21.000 Well, that's one thing with the video that we saw.

01:53:24.000 Oh, look at that.

01:53:26.000 Interesting.

01:53:27.000 They have photos of what that...

01:53:29.000 I don't think they have an actual video of that happening.

01:53:32.000 Oh, it fell and fucked up the building.

01:53:35.000 But still. 0.95

01:53:37.000 Still.

01:53:38.000 Why didn't it just fall into that side?

01:53:40.000 Why does it compress into its base?

01:53:42.000 The way it collapses, like, I've never seen anybody adequately describe it.

01:53:46.000 But one thing that people should know is that the top of it collapsed before the whole thing collapsed.

01:53:51.000 There was this piece on the top, so the roof caved in first.

01:53:56.000 Like, there was like, there's a smaller structure on top of the roof that imploded and went through the base.

01:54:03.000 Okay.

01:54:04.000 And then the whole thing went under.

01:54:05.000 So it wasn't like it all went in one shot.

01:54:08.000 The top of it had already collapsed and went through.

01:54:10.000 God, that was such a weird time in America.

01:54:12.000 I was thinking about how, like, just catatonic I was on the couch recently.

01:54:19.000 Just, like, that whole week afterwards.

01:54:23.000 Right.

01:54:23.000 Just nobody...

01:54:24.000 I know.

01:54:26.000 Because it's weird.

01:54:27.000 Like, I have family members who have kids and their kids are now, like...

01:54:31.000 They were born right around that time.

01:54:32.000 They were one, two years old.

01:54:33.000 They've grown up.

01:54:34.000 They don't remember kind of what it was like before that.

01:54:39.000 And they, I don't know. 0.98

01:54:40.000 I feel like the world, I have a friend and he's like, everything went to shit after 9-11. 0.99

01:54:45.000 Everything just got shittier. 0.99

01:54:46.000 Well, everything did go to shit because that's when they passed the Patriot Act. 0.99

01:54:49.000 Yeah. 0.98

01:54:49.000 And that's when the government really got its hooks into your information. 0.98

01:54:52.000 Clarification here.

01:54:53.000 New one, 1776, 541 meters tall.

01:54:58.000 Old one.

01:54:59.000 With the spire, it was 1730, but it was 1368 without the spire.

01:55:06.000 Okay.

01:55:07.000 The spire, so without the intent of the building, it was 417 meters tall, so I think you were close.

01:55:12.000 Okay.

01:55:14.000 So it's not much different, though. 0.96

01:55:15.000 I thought it was a lot different, like 10 stories or some shit. 0.66

01:55:19.000 So it's 104 floors.

01:55:22.000 And four basement floors.

01:55:23.000 And the other one was 110 floors.

01:55:25.000 Yeah, how many basement floors?

01:55:27.000 I don't know.

01:55:27.000 Also, it's like, how tall are the floors?

01:55:30.000 You know?

01:55:31.000 I hope this one doesn't...

01:55:32.000 Do you think this administration is going to try and get rid of the Patriot Act?

01:55:36.000 No.

01:55:40.000 Why would they do that?

01:55:41.000 I think they have those tools and power to actually...

01:55:44.000 They'll use it as an excuse to go get terrorists. 0.78

01:55:48.000 Yeah, but haven't we all wanted to get rid of it for a long time?

01:55:52.000 Yeah.

01:55:52.000 Well, then they have the Patriot Act 2, which is even more invasive.

01:55:56.000 Yeah.

01:55:57.000 But people, like, that seems like a bipartisan thing somebody could get behind.

01:56:01.000 Maybe.

01:56:02.000 But the real neocons will come out and say that weakens us against our enemies.

01:56:10.000 We need this power to be able to find terrorists and be able to search out.

01:56:14.000 I mean, that was one of the things that the Obama administration, when they passed the NDAA, they go, you know, we're not going to do it.

01:56:21.000 We're not going to just, like, detent.

01:56:24.000 Detain people indefinitely.

01:56:26.000 We wouldn't do it.

01:56:26.000 But the problem is you're given the law, that law is now in the books, and now the next person, what if it's a psycho?

01:56:32.000 And the person after that, what if it's a psycho?

01:56:35.000 Right.

01:56:35.000 Now you've given them power to become a dictator.

01:56:38.000 Right.

01:56:39.000 And go after their political enemies, which normal people won't do, right?

01:56:43.000 You guys don't do that, right?

01:56:47.000 I mean, it's going to be a wild four years, I think.

01:56:50.000 Because I did think that, like, I figured, I figured, I thought maybe that people would understand that they were wrong and that, like, maybe they'd gone too far.

01:57:01.000 And I was...

01:57:03.000 And it seems like hysteria.

01:57:06.000 I don't think people learn that good.

01:57:08.000 I think people learn by having their lives ruined and getting really angry.

01:57:12.000 Right.

01:57:12.000 And then they change course.

01:57:13.000 But I think the people that are still comfortable and still working in these environments that still cling to these ideas, they're going to double down and wear a pussy hat and fucking paint their hair blue and protest in the streets. 0.98

01:57:29.000 It's so weird because I was thinking about how I've now been 10 years in the culture wars, which is not... 0.97

01:57:37.000 I mean, I kind of stumbled into them.

01:57:40.000 Are you a sergeant now?

01:57:41.000 What are you?

01:57:41.000 I don't know.

01:57:43.000 Are you a general?

01:57:46.000 I don't know what I am.

01:57:49.000 But it has been a weird decade to be...

01:57:52.000 I think so many normies are like me.

01:57:56.000 They just got kind of forced into being in them.

01:58:00.000 I was like a drunk waitress who just wanted to tell jokes.

01:58:05.000 And then I started writing for Playboy, and next thing I know, I'm voting for Trump.

01:58:13.000 Well, you know, as a drunk waitress, you're one of us. 1.00

01:58:18.000 You're a human.

01:58:19.000 And humans, there's a lot of people that have opinions and ideas on things.

01:58:22.000 They're just not good at articulating it, or they never learned how to articulate it.

01:58:26.000 But everybody does what we do, or everybody can do what we do.

01:58:30.000 They do it with their friends.

01:58:31.000 They talk with their friends. 1.00

01:58:33.000 They bullshit about stuff. 0.99

01:58:35.000 You know, it's just a process of putting it out there. 0.99

01:58:39.000 We've had...

01:58:40.000 I've had...

01:58:42.000 Some weird YouTube strikes that I'd say, yes, it's easy to do, except I've had to play 10 years of a game of, like, outrunning censors and, like, Patreon.

01:58:53.000 Okay, we're there.

01:58:54.000 And then we've got to get off there because I don't want to put all my eggs in that basket in case they go bonkers and shut it down.

01:58:59.000 And then I feel like a lot of people in this space have been for, like, a decade out.

01:59:05.000 You know, we're like, how are we going to... 0.93

01:59:06.000 We got, like, the dumbest strike on an old ad. 0.97

01:59:10.000 Of ours. 0.98

01:59:11.000 And it was something that we said.

01:59:13.000 And then you have to go to, like, you know, like, you've got to go to, like, class and get re-educated.

01:59:19.000 Jamie got re-educated.

01:59:20.000 Didn't you, Jamie?

01:59:21.000 You feel better right now, right?

01:59:22.000 What?

01:59:22.000 You feel smarter.

01:59:23.000 Now you got re-educated by YouTube.

01:59:24.000 What did you get re-educated for?

01:59:25.000 Which part of YouTube?

01:59:26.000 You got re-educated.

01:59:28.000 Sure, I guess.

01:59:28.000 Didn't you?

01:59:29.000 When we had a strike, you had to do the little classes.

01:59:31.000 Oh, that's what you're talking about.

01:59:31.000 Oh, yeah.

01:59:32.000 He's like, what re-education?

01:59:34.000 He got re-educated.

01:59:35.000 He's different now.

01:59:36.000 He's better now.

01:59:37.000 Because we told factual information about COVID-19.

01:59:41.000 And so you got a strike?

01:59:42.000 Yeah, it was because it was a long time ago.

01:59:44.000 But ours is weird because it was a very old episode, so they must be trolling.

01:59:51.000 I don't know what they're doing.

01:59:52.000 They're probably just using their algorithm and going after everything.

01:59:56.000 Ours, literally, we said...

01:59:58.000 Think for yourself and come to your own conclusions.

02:00:01.000 Oh, that's dangerous.

02:00:02.000 That was the ad read.

02:00:03.000 It wasn't even on our podcast.

02:00:05.000 It was an ad read we were doing for someone else's podcast.

02:00:08.000 I shouldn't give that advice out.

02:00:10.000 People shouldn't be doing that.

02:00:11.000 But this is why it's hard for people to just say what they want. 0.81

02:00:15.000 Well, what do you think is going to happen when you're looking at all this crazy shit right now with Doge and the uncovering of USAID and this dismantling of this bizarre left-wing ecosystem that's pretty much manufactured? 0.74

02:00:30.000 What do you see is going to happen with the rest of the country? 0.93

02:00:33.000 I mean, look, there are a lot of people who did not vote for Trump.

02:00:38.000 He won.

02:00:40.000 And yes, he won every swing state.

02:00:42.000 Half the country's a lot of people.

02:00:44.000 Yeah, it's a lot of people.

02:00:46.000 And I'm not sure how many of them...

02:00:48.000 I wonder how many...

02:00:49.000 So I have a couple questions.

02:00:50.000 How many people didn't vote for Trump and wanted to and are secretly glad he won?

02:00:54.000 I bet there's a pretty significant number of those people who either didn't vote or didn't vote for him but wanted him to win anyway.

02:01:01.000 Ari says that. 0.99

02:01:02.000 Ari says that New York City is relaxed.

02:01:05.000 It's like everybody was relaxed after the election.

02:01:07.000 Even the liberals are like...

02:01:08.000 Yeah, thank God.

02:01:09.000 They're like, woo!

02:01:10.000 Yeah, like, thank God you saved me from myself.

02:01:12.000 Yeah, exactly.

02:01:14.000 Because it's God doing for us what we can't do for ourselves.

02:01:16.000 Yeah, so there's that, I wonder.

02:01:18.000 But then I do wonder how many of the people are...

02:01:21.000 What I worry about is how much mental...

02:01:24.000 This is where I get mad at the media for presenting this, like, this is Hitler, having it notched up to 11 for the past eight years.

02:01:34.000 And now you've got this...

02:01:36.000 Because he was put in...

02:01:39.000 It's almost like that...

02:01:41.000 That energy has been transferred to Elon now.

02:01:44.000 Because now...

02:01:45.000 Did you see the Elon protests?

02:01:47.000 They're protesting Elon.

02:01:48.000 They're literally standing out there with signs that say, arrest Elon Musk.

02:01:53.000 Listen, I guarantee it's organized.

02:01:54.000 I guarantee it's organized by the same people that are going to lose a shitload of money.

02:01:58.000 Based on all these discoveries at Doge.

02:02:02.000 There's no way they're not.

02:02:03.000 If you look at what Doge is uncovering, what they're uncovering with this USAID stuff, a lot of that stuff was organizing through NGOs protests.

02:02:12.000 They organized the attempt at getting Trump impeached.

02:02:17.000 I thought you were going to say killed.

02:02:18.000 They organized the impeachment.

02:02:21.000 They also spent, USAID spent $50 million on the lab that invented coronavirus. 0.77

02:02:27.000 Right.

02:02:28.000 Yeah, there's a lot of money involved in this not working.

02:02:32.000 And when you have a lot of money involved, you're going to have organized protests.

02:02:36.000 When you see protests, we all want to think protests like the 1960s.

02:02:40.000 Yeah, fight the war, man. 1.00

02:02:41.000 It's like organic, like peace, love and hippie shit. 1.00

02:02:45.000 But that's not what this is. 0.99

02:02:46.000 What this is is organized, funded protests where someone is spending a lot of money and they're mobilizing other NGOs.

02:02:54.000 They're using their access to these mailing lists and all these different things.

02:02:59.000 They're putting these things together.

02:03:00.000 Yeah, but do you think that the average liberal person, do you think that they're going to wake up and come around?

02:03:09.000 Or do you think that they're going to be in agony for four years?

02:03:13.000 What if it works?

02:03:14.000 What if the world gets safer, the country gets safer, the economy improves, and they don't attack civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, all these things that everybody's worried about?

02:03:23.000 And then at the end of it, you realize, hey, maybe I was wrong.

02:03:26.000 I mean, that's my question, though.

02:03:29.000 Are they capable of that kind of self-reflection?

02:03:33.000 What we're saying they is if it's like one kind of person.

02:03:38.000 There's so many different people in they.

02:03:40.000 Agreed.

02:03:41.000 I mean, when I say they, I mean people who have bought into the idea that this person is going to make everything worse and we're going to slip into a fascist technocracy.

02:03:53.000 Some of them.

02:03:55.000 Some of them are going to slip right into it.

02:03:57.000 Some of them are going to wake up and come around.

02:04:00.000 It's a test.

02:04:01.000 It's a test of character.

02:04:03.000 It's a test of objectivity.

02:04:05.000 It's a test of introspection.

02:04:07.000 There's a lot of things that are going to happen where people are going to have to wonder, like, what was I rooting for?

02:04:12.000 When I was rooting for this progressive liberal government, what was I actually rooting for?

02:04:16.000 Was I rooting for warmongers who were making insane amounts of profit by funding overseas wars?

02:04:22.000 What was I rooting for?

02:04:23.000 What was I rooting for?

02:04:24.000 Was I rooting for a basic theft of our tax dollars that's gone to all these completely useless endeavors that were only set up as ways to pill for money?

02:04:37.000 Or the fall of America.

02:04:38.000 This is a weird thing to hate your own country so much that you want it to fall or the dismantling of the kind of West as we know it.

02:04:52.000 There is a feeling that Elon might have saved the West.

02:04:59.000 Yeah.

02:05:00.000 I think he did.

02:05:01.000 I feel like at least he's trying to.

02:05:02.000 I think he did.

02:05:03.000 I think he did, but just by buying X. But isn't it funny that he got forced into it?

02:05:08.000 I think there's like something kind of ironic.

02:05:10.000 Well, funny because he was trying to get it at a lower price because he knew that they were bullshitting about the amount of bots.

02:05:15.000 Well, and then they came out yesterday and now it's profitable.

02:05:18.000 Yeah.

02:05:18.000 There's like a whole article about how he turned it around.

02:05:21.000 Of course it's going to be profitable.

02:05:22.000 He's smarter than you.

02:05:23.000 He is smarter.

02:05:24.000 He also knows that we are all...

02:05:26.000 Tapped in.

02:05:27.000 I can't stop it.

02:05:30.000 I've always had a Twitter addiction.

02:05:32.000 It's the thing that replaced my...

02:05:35.000 Drinking and smoking weed when I quit that.

02:05:38.000 I went right to Twitter. 0.98

02:05:39.000 I was like, Elon knows none of these motherfuckers, even when they go to Blue Sky, they've all got secret accounts and they're lurking on Twitter still, or X still, or whatever. 0.98

02:05:47.000 You can't live in that echo chamber, that Blue Sky echo chamber. 0.99

02:05:51.000 You can't even go on there and say there's only two genders. 1.00

02:05:53.000 If you go on there and say there's two genders, they ban you immediately. 0.83

02:05:56.000 They're like eating themselves within two days over there, though.

02:05:59.000 But that's what always happens.

02:06:00.000 That's happened with Gab, too, right?

02:06:02.000 Yeah.

02:06:02.000 And I think some of that is not even real.

02:06:05.000 I personally know comics who go on Blue Sky and just say insane leftist stuff, just like the most preposterous thing, like maybe Duncan would do.

02:06:14.000 I'm not saying Duncan does it, but he might do it.

02:06:16.000 But I know comics that do that just to see the reaction, how people agree with them.

02:06:21.000 Like insane stuff.

02:06:22.000 Oh, okay.

02:06:23.000 Like my toddler, I could tell when my toddler was trans when they were three days old.

02:06:27.000 And people agree with them.

02:06:28.000 Oh, yeah.

02:06:29.000 Jump right in.

02:06:30.000 Don't you think we're all in echo chambers, though, like you said?

02:06:33.000 How do you stay outside of yours?

02:06:35.000 Drugs.

02:06:36.000 Oh, that's true.

02:06:37.000 That helps a lot.

02:06:38.000 No, I'm kidding.

02:06:40.000 You just gotta be recognized like you're thinking.

02:06:42.000 You have to have a process.

02:06:44.000 What's your process?

02:06:45.000 I live by the Joe Rogan School of Internetting.

02:06:48.000 How's that?

02:06:49.000 I take all your advice.

02:06:50.000 I don't read the comments, and I post and ghost.

02:06:53.000 That's good.

02:06:53.000 I don't, like, get in there and...

02:06:55.000 That's good.

02:06:58.000 I definitely do that.

02:06:59.000 And then I think of like, what do I really think about something and why do I think about it that way?

02:07:04.000 And I try to go, is it because it's self-serving?

02:07:07.000 Is it because I've said it in the past that I want to be right?

02:07:11.000 What is it?

02:07:12.000 What makes me believe what I believe? 0.99

02:07:15.000 And then you have to do a deep dive and all the goddamn arguments back and forth to figure out who's right. 0.97

02:07:22.000 All the logic and see people ignoring certain core facts. 0.81

02:07:27.000 This is the most fascinating thing about this USAID thing to me, is how people on the left are completely ignoring all the rampant, obvious corruption and conflicts of interest in the government funding non-government organizations that in turn fund the government.

02:07:43.000 That's so crazy.

02:07:45.000 And anybody that doesn't think that's crazy, it's like, what do you love?

02:07:48.000 Money influencing everything in your daily life?

02:07:51.000 Do you think that maybe we have a problem in that we have a huge deficit?

02:07:56.000 Part of our huge deficit? 1.00

02:07:57.000 We're spending fucking billions of dollars every year on horse shit? 1.00

02:08:00.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:08:01.000 I mean, that is my issue with people being like, see, it is the political thing isn't right, which is true.

02:08:07.000 It's important to be accurate, but it's also like, yeah, but this money shouldn't be spent this way.

02:08:14.000 So just because this thing is maybe not true, you're pointing to this one thing that people are misrepresenting, but there's a much bigger problem you seem to want to just sweep under the rug.

02:08:26.000 Oh, you guys are just crazy for noticing all these connections.

02:08:30.000 But didn't they make them stop or something?

02:08:33.000 Did they freeze their ability?

02:08:35.000 Yeah, USA's frozen. 1.00

02:08:36.000 These kids are nuts. 0.98

02:08:37.000 That guy who found the scroll, how to read the scroll from Pompeii. 0.99

02:08:42.000 Burnt scrolls from Pompeii.

02:08:43.000 Yeah, using AI. Yeah.

02:08:45.000 No, they're wizards.

02:08:46.000 That's the kind of people that you want digging into this stuff.

02:08:48.000 And that's why Elon got them. 0.96

02:08:50.000 He knows what the fuck he's doing. 0.98

02:08:52.000 It's all very strange because it's... 0.99

02:08:56.000 You're dealing with so many things that are happening at the same time.

02:08:59.000 You have this technology that was never available before that is allowing people to freely express themselves online, right?

02:09:06.000 And then you have this maniac billionaire who buys the biggest one and makes it the Wild West again.

02:09:12.000 And then you have government being exposed for what it is. 0.94

02:09:15.000 So you have all these fucking NGOs, this web of—we talked about it yesterday—this web of 55,000 different NGOs that were supporting all these liberal causes that were all— Completely intertwined and they had to use software to find that and figure it out. 0.97

02:09:30.000 They're finding out that this is like this complicated propaganda network that existed. 0.99

02:09:35.000 That's not good.

02:09:36.000 That's not good for anybody, left or right.

02:09:39.000 Because it's money.

02:09:41.000 It's just money being used in a way.

02:09:44.000 Not only that, here's the thing.

02:09:45.000 People say the $10 billion.

02:09:47.000 It's only $10 billion. 1.00

02:09:48.000 That kind of shit. 1.00

02:09:49.000 What about the fucking people in Maui? 1.00

02:09:52.000 That could have been fixed with $5 billion. 0.99

02:09:54.000 The government could have said, we are going to rebuild those people's homes to the exact state and even better than where they were before.

02:10:03.000 It's going to cost us $5 billion.

02:10:05.000 All the money that we're sending over to Ukraine, all the money that we send to Israel, all the money we send to all these different organizations that work with USAID in the tune of billions and billions and billions of dollars.

02:10:16.000 They could have done that.

02:10:18.000 And instead of doing that, they're telling us that what we have to do is continue to fund all these programs in all these other countries that just so conveniently have a whole staff of people that's making a great wage and their political capital is bet on all this stuff and it all is involved with intertwined with these NGOs and all this money they're getting.

02:10:40.000 And this is the thing.

02:10:41.000 We have to go and help these people.

02:10:42.000 We're going to starve.

02:10:43.000 They're going to do this.

02:10:44.000 They're going to do that.

02:10:44.000 What about America?

02:10:47.000 Our tax dollars going into a safety net to help people from one of the worst wildfires in history.

02:10:53.000 Or North Carolina.

02:10:55.000 Or North Carolina.

02:10:56.000 Yeah.

02:10:56.000 Exactly the same thing.

02:10:57.000 Yeah.

02:10:57.000 Apparently, none of those people have gotten any money in North Carolina.

02:11:01.000 No, and they're like sleeping in freaking tents in the freezing cold.

02:11:04.000 Exactly.

02:11:04.000 All that could have been addressed, too.

02:11:06.000 The same way we address problems in other countries.

02:11:09.000 So if you have this amazing slush fund that USAID is, and it's not being applied at all to the problems of America, why would you think people would support it?

02:11:20.000 Yeah.

02:11:20.000 Why would we support it with our tax dollars when we know that the country is massively in debt?

02:11:25.000 Well, and it's like, I appreciate that there are so many problems.

02:11:28.000 I think people, I do feel like for the first time ever, there is an actual transfer of power.

02:11:35.000 Like every single election through my lifetime, it's been, there's been all the normal fighting between the two parties and then the election.

02:11:44.000 It happens, and one party wins, and then nothing changes.

02:11:48.000 And you just keep sliding and sliding and sliding and sliding, and everybody says they're going to do something, and no one does anything. 0.65

02:11:54.000 And then you have fucking Elon come in like a wrecking ball, and a very motivated Trump, who seems organized this time, and they actually feel like they're making changes. 0.60

02:12:07.000 Changes that, by the way, American people want. 0.99

02:12:10.000 The border.

02:12:11.000 They fixed the border overnight.

02:12:16.000 Overnight.

02:12:16.000 My friend Max Meyer was saying, he's a very smart guy, he was saying no one with any numerical ability has ever looked into Medicare and Medicaid fraud.

02:12:26.000 Ever.

02:12:27.000 That's what they're cracking into next.

02:12:29.000 There's a lot of money there that is provider-side fraud, where it's just inflated.

02:12:34.000 Wasn't that Sonny Hostin's husband?

02:12:37.000 Isn't he involved in a RICO lawsuit?

02:12:40.000 Oh, I don't know.

02:12:40.000 About insurance fraud?

02:12:41.000 The View person?

02:12:42.000 Uh-huh.

02:12:43.000 Yeah.

02:12:43.000 Oh, I have no idea.

02:12:44.000 Her husband got arrested.

02:12:45.000 Oh, really?

02:12:46.000 Yeah.

02:12:46.000 He's one of 200 people charged in some gigantic insurance fraud.

02:12:52.000 There's a lot of that.

02:12:53.000 What is that?

02:12:53.000 What's the actual story behind that?

02:12:56.000 Jamie's looking.

02:12:56.000 Jamie's on it.

02:12:57.000 He's on it.

02:12:57.000 Yeah, but they can take it.

02:13:00.000 I mean, you know how complicated it would be to try and...

02:13:03.000 Untangle that web of where you're inflating things that people have and you're saying this is like a band.

02:13:09.000 You see these things online where it's like a band-aid is $25,000, you know?

02:13:15.000 Someone explained that to me too, is that when you have a budget, say if you run an organization and it has a budget, you get money from the government and that budget's like $80 million a year, you can't spend $60 million because then you're going to get $60 million next year.

02:13:26.000 You have to spend all $80 million.

02:13:27.000 If you don't spend all $80 million, you don't get $80 million.

02:13:29.000 You've got to say, we need $90 million.

02:13:30.000 We're barely hanging on.

02:13:32.000 So you have to charge like $500,000 for a hammer.

02:13:36.000 And that's literally how they justify their existence.

02:13:40.000 They're not in the business of being frugal and being responsible and making sure that the money is being spent competently.

02:13:49.000 No, they're in the business of keeping their budget coming in.

02:13:52.000 Sonny Host and surgeon husband Emanuel faces solo battle in lawsuit as co-defendants agree to settle.

02:13:57.000 Oh, Jesus.

02:13:59.000 So, okay.

02:14:01.000 Johnny Hostin's surgeon husband has found himself in the hot seat in a massive lawsuit accusing nearly 200 healthcare providers of insurance fraud.

02:14:09.000 Dr. Emanuel Hostin defiantly called himself the victim of a frivolous smear campaign last month after he was accused of providing fraudulent medical services in exchange for kickbacks in a complaint filed by American Transit Insurance Company in December.

02:14:27.000 Oh, boy.

02:14:32.000 Oh, boy.

02:14:39.000 Taxi Company and Uger Lyft drivers announced last Monday more than 141 of the 186 defendants named in the suit have agreed in principle to settle one of the largest RICO cases ever filed in New York.

02:14:52.000 The papers filed by the law firm Manning Cass did not specify which defendants offered to settle.

02:14:59.000 Dr. Hostin has until February 10 to respond to the legal complaint. 0.97

02:15:04.000 So it has something to do with drives from the hospital and kickbacks from all this shit.

02:15:12.000 Yeah, because that's what they need, though, is these guys who can use this AI technology to get in there and start looking on a massive scale at what all of these, everything. 0.94

02:15:26.000 I mean, they have to look at everything.

02:15:27.000 I think most Americans want this.

02:15:30.000 So they're being accused of getting kickbacks for performing surgeries and submitting fraudulent bills.

02:15:36.000 Yeah.

02:15:36.000 Hostin knowingly provided, this is in quotes, knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other health care services, including orthoscopic surgeries.

02:15:44.000 The lawsuit filed on December 17th claims American Transit was then billed in exchange for kickbacks and or other compensation which were disguised as dividends or other cash distribution.

02:15:55.000 I don't know how they know this, so I don't want to comment on this.

02:15:59.000 I don't really understand what this is. 0.99

02:16:01.000 This might be bullshit. 0.98

02:16:02.000 It might be real. 0.99

02:16:04.000 But I do know that doctors...

02:16:06.000 But this happens all the time.

02:16:07.000 I mean, maybe not this, but there's provider-side fraud that is very well-known, and people have been called out for it.

02:16:14.000 There's a doctor that I was just watching this whole thing on where he...

02:16:17.000 I think it was 200 people he treated, it might have been more, that did not have cancer.

02:16:24.000 And he gave them chemotherapy.

02:16:26.000 Oh my god.

02:16:27.000 Yeah.

02:16:28.000 He falsely diagnosed them as having cancer and then treated them for cancer.

02:16:34.000 Yeah, and some of them got really sick and died.

02:16:36.000 Well, yeah, it's chemo.

02:16:37.000 Yeah, it's chemo. 1.00

02:16:38.000 It's fucking killing you. 0.98

02:16:39.000 And it wrecks your health, so even if you survive it, like, your body's wrecked for a long time afterwards. 0.99

02:16:44.000 And did he do this just for money?

02:16:46.000 For money, yeah.

02:16:47.000 Oh, yeah.

02:16:47.000 And his argument was that this term that they always use, you eat what you kill, and that you have to, like...

02:16:54.000 You have to have a business.

02:16:56.000 You have to keep your business rolling.

02:16:57.000 So his business was making sure that people thought they had cancer and then treating them for cancer.

02:17:02.000 That's dark.

02:17:03.000 Well, cancer and chemotherapy is one of those weird ones where the doctors profit off of each chemotherapy.

02:17:09.000 Oh, do they?

02:17:10.000 Yeah.

02:17:11.000 $34 million in fraudulent...

02:17:13.000 A Detroit-area hematologist-oncologist was sentenced today to serve 45 years in prison for his role in a healthcare fraud scheme that included administrating medically unnecessary infusions or injections to, oh, it's 553 individual patients, and submitting to Medicare and private insurance companies approximately $34 million in fraudulent claims. 0.98

02:17:32.000 This is the fucking sickest thing I've ever heard! 0.99

02:17:35.000 It's horrible. 1.00

02:17:36.000 You tell these people they have cancer?

02:17:37.000 I know, right?

02:17:38.000 And make them get chemo?

02:17:40.000 I know.

02:17:40.000 This is insane.

02:17:41.000 I can't believe I've never heard of this.

02:17:43.000 Yeah.

02:17:44.000 It's really crazy.

02:17:45.000 It's like a decade ago.

02:17:46.000 Wow. 1.00

02:17:47.000 This is fucking nuts. 1.00

02:17:49.000 How did they catch him? 1.00

02:17:50.000 I don't know.

02:17:51.000 That's wild.

02:17:53.000 Yeah.

02:17:53.000 No, that's so sick.

02:17:55.000 I know people that have told me that they know people that have done surgeries that were unnecessary.

02:18:01.000 Just for money.

02:18:02.000 They want money.

02:18:03.000 Well, that's like the whole trans care.

02:18:05.000 Oh, yeah.

02:18:07.000 Not just that.

02:18:08.000 Orthopedic surgeries.

02:18:10.000 Back surgeries and stuff?

02:18:12.000 Doctors that won't let someone try stem cells? 0.88

02:18:15.000 Oh, wow.

02:18:15.000 That try to deny people stem cells?

02:18:18.000 So...

02:18:19.000 Yeah, the back surgery thing is weird, too.

02:18:22.000 Well, it can help some people, but it's not the only solution, and there's other ways to fix your back.

02:18:27.000 I always tell people there's a lot of different ways to fix back issues.

02:18:32.000 I've had back issues.

02:18:33.000 I didn't have surgery.

02:18:34.000 I was told to have surgery.

02:18:36.000 I had a bulging disc in my neck.

02:18:37.000 I was told that I had to have a disectomy.

02:18:39.000 I did not.

02:18:40.000 My neck is perfect.

02:18:41.000 It works great now.

02:18:42.000 How did you fix it?

02:18:43.000 I did Regenikine.

02:18:45.000 Regenikine is...

02:18:47.000 It's like a very advanced form of platelet-rich plasma that used to have to go to Germany to get.

02:18:51.000 I remember Peyton Manning and Kobe Bryant and those guys, they flew to Germany to get this procedure done.

02:18:56.000 And Dana White did it too. 0.99

02:18:57.000 And then they opened up a place in Santa Monica where you could do it in Santa Monica.

02:19:00.000 And I had it done.

02:19:01.000 I had it done on my back.

02:19:02.000 I had it done on my neck.

02:19:03.000 It's amazing.

02:19:04.000 They take your blood. 0.99

02:19:05.000 They spin it in a centrifuge.

02:19:07.000 I forget what the exact process they do.

02:19:09.000 And then they pull out this liquid that is the most...

02:19:14.000 It's the most potent anti-inflammatory inflammation drug that you could ever find.

02:19:18.000 Okay.

02:19:18.000 So this anti-inflammation drug, it's made out of your own blood, so your body doesn't reject it, this process that they do.

02:19:26.000 And then they inject it in the areas around the discs, and the discs all settled, and they went right back into place.

02:19:30.000 Wow.

02:19:31.000 Yeah.

02:19:32.000 I had it done on my lower back, I had it done on my upper back, and I had it done on my neck.

02:19:35.000 See, I think that this is where I'm excited about AI and stuff like that.

02:19:39.000 It would be exciting to have AI cure cancer.

02:19:44.000 Which they think that it might be able to do.

02:19:47.000 Yeah.

02:19:48.000 I saw that Larry Ellison thing.

02:19:50.000 I was like, yeah, are you making money doing this?

02:19:52.000 Well, obviously.

02:19:53.000 I don't know if Larry...

02:19:54.000 Is Larry Ellison saying that?

02:19:55.000 Why is he doing that?

02:19:55.000 Oh, yeah, he did.

02:19:56.000 Like, why are you doing that?

02:19:57.000 Are you a doctor?

02:19:58.000 Don't you own Lanai?

02:19:59.000 What are you doing?

02:20:00.000 But I don't see... 0.99

02:20:01.000 It seems like it's not outside the realm of possibility that AI would get smart enough to figure this shit out. 0.99

02:20:07.000 100%. 1.00

02:20:07.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:20:08.000 It is possible.

02:20:09.000 For sure.

02:20:09.000 And it's very hopeful.

02:20:10.000 But, you know, I don't know if we should be telling people that it could do that maybe in the future, so invest in my company or whatever the fuck's going on, you know? 0.99

02:20:18.000 I was at this crazy boondoggle, and I saw a bunch of these people talk, and everybody was clapping, and I was like, this is the scariest shit I've ever heard. 0.97

02:20:29.000 And I think it might have been Sam who was talking to Altman, and everybody was just like, yay, let's give them money! 0.98

02:20:35.000 And they all just saw money.

02:20:36.000 Everyone sees money here.

02:20:39.000 The gold hills.

02:20:40.000 I mean, we're going to need to build nuclear. 1.00

02:20:41.000 We're going to need to power this shit. 0.99

02:20:44.000 There's a lot of gold in those hills. 1.00

02:20:46.000 And I was in the back with this guy, and I'm like, someone needs to stop it.

02:20:51.000 It's the beginning of a terminating moment.

02:20:53.000 It chills down my spine.

02:20:54.000 Yeah.

02:20:54.000 It's going to happen, though.

02:20:56.000 You can't stop it.

02:20:57.000 No.

02:20:57.000 Unless the grid goes down, like, or something, unless there is something catastrophic, asteroid hits the Earth, whatever, which I think there might be one coming, there is, there's nothing we can do.

02:21:12.000 Nope.

02:21:12.000 The genie's out of the bottle.

02:21:13.000 Well, not just that.

02:21:14.000 We have to do it because there's other people that are doing it.

02:21:16.000 And if they get a hold of it first, it's over.

02:21:20.000 Ah, that's the race to the bottom.

02:21:22.000 Is it?

02:21:23.000 I don't know.

02:21:24.000 I mean, if we all have it, it eventually works for humanity instead of against us.

02:21:30.000 My husband thinks that our daughter will never need to learn how to drive.

02:21:36.000 Probably.

02:21:37.000 He's like, she's not going to need...

02:21:38.000 Because I was like, she wants to drive already.

02:21:40.000 She's like, when I'm five, I can drive.

02:21:42.000 I'm like, no.

02:21:45.000 She is, having kids is the best.

02:21:47.000 I hate that there was so much rhetoric that I was growing up with about like how horrible it is because it is, yeah.

02:21:55.000 It's all by people who don't have kids. 0.99

02:21:57.000 But it's so, it is, the other morning I go downstairs and she's like, I'm like, how you doing?

02:22:02.000 She's eating her breakfast.

02:22:03.000 She's like, I just need to lay low.

02:22:06.000 I was like, are we hiding from the mob?

02:22:10.000 What is happening?

02:22:12.000 They're experimenting with news ways to talk.

02:22:14.000 They're just so funny.

02:22:16.000 She just says the funniest stuff.

02:22:19.000 My husband sent me a whole thing.

02:22:21.000 They pick up everything.

02:22:23.000 She was like, I'm going to Mothership, and you're going to go to New York.

02:22:27.000 I'm like, where'd she get the New York accent from?

02:22:30.000 I'm going to Mothership, and you're going to New York to tell jokes.

02:22:34.000 She's telling him all about this.

02:22:35.000 I'm like, how does she pick all this?

02:22:38.000 It's the best thing in the whole world, but yeah, he doesn't think she wants to drive, and he's like, she's not going to need to know how to drive.

02:22:44.000 Well, she probably will learn how to drive, but it won't be necessary.

02:22:49.000 I think they're going to make the argument that autonomous driving is way safer.

02:22:56.000 But I think it probably is.

02:22:58.000 Oh, it is?

02:22:58.000 Yeah.

02:22:59.000 Yeah, I have auto drive on my Tesla.

02:23:02.000 But they all have to be autonomous.

02:23:02.000 Yes.

02:23:02.000 It can't be...

02:23:03.000 Exactly.

02:23:03.000 No one's going to be allowed to drive.

02:23:06.000 That's probably what's going to happen.

02:23:07.000 That's the only way.

02:23:07.000 They're all going to be communicating with each other and it's like...

02:23:10.000 There'll probably be roads that are set up where you can allow people to drive.

02:23:14.000 How do you feel about that?

02:23:15.000 I don't know.

02:23:16.000 I like cars.

02:23:17.000 Yeah, I do too.

02:23:17.000 So it's not good.

02:23:18.000 I like old cars too.

02:23:19.000 I like driving.

02:23:20.000 Yeah, I do.

02:23:21.000 It helps my brain.

02:23:23.000 Unfurl.

02:23:24.000 Well, I like machines.

02:23:26.000 I'm into old machines.

02:23:27.000 I like the way they work.

02:23:29.000 Do you know how to fix cars?

02:23:30.000 I know how to fix some things, but not really.

02:23:33.000 I mean, I know how to change spark plugs and change oil.

02:23:36.000 Like basics?

02:23:38.000 Yeah, normal stuff.

02:23:38.000 But most cars don't even have spark plugs anymore.

02:23:41.000 No, it's weird.

02:23:42.000 Yeah, it's all...

02:23:43.000 It's wild.

02:23:44.000 You open up the back of a Porsche.

02:23:48.000 Look at the engine. 0.99

02:23:49.000 You're like, what the fuck is that? 0.99

02:23:50.000 And Teslas only have one gear? 0.99

02:23:53.000 I don't understand how that even...

02:23:55.000 Have you ever been in one?

02:23:57.000 No.

02:23:57.000 Oh, dude.

02:23:58.000 I didn't bring mine today.

02:23:58.000 Oh, wait.

02:23:58.000 No, I have been in one.

02:23:59.000 Next time I have mine, you got to go for a ride.

02:24:02.000 Yeah.

02:24:03.000 Mine's insane.

02:24:04.000 The new one.

02:24:05.000 Yeah.

02:24:05.000 It goes 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds.

02:24:07.000 That's nuts.

02:24:07.000 It's a time machine.

02:24:08.000 How does it do that?

02:24:09.000 Because it has 1,000 horsepower and four-wheel drive and incredible electrical engines that just instantly generate torque and power.

02:24:17.000 That's crazy.

02:24:18.000 It just takes off.

02:24:19.000 They're amazing.

02:24:20.000 And it also self-drives.

02:24:22.000 It doesn't just self-drive.

02:24:23.000 It changes lanes.

02:24:24.000 It stops for stop signs.

02:24:26.000 It stops for red lights.

02:24:28.000 It turns.

02:24:29.000 It's incredible.

02:24:31.000 It changes lanes when there's obstructions in front of it.

02:24:33.000 Can you take your eyes off the...

02:24:35.000 Can you, like, text and stuff?

02:24:36.000 Can you be a passenger?

02:24:37.000 You could, I guess.

02:24:39.000 People have fallen asleep at the wheel, famously.

02:24:41.000 But don't they give you, like, strikes or something like that?

02:24:43.000 Like, Tesla itself will...

02:24:45.000 Yeah, supposedly if you're not looking...

02:24:47.000 That's kind of creepy.

02:24:48.000 Yeah, it's creepy.

02:24:49.000 Yeah, it's all creepy.

02:24:50.000 But if you want to do it right, that's how you have to do it.

02:24:52.000 You can't just let people take naps and just press the...

02:24:55.000 Press play.

02:24:56.000 But isn't that the point?

02:24:57.000 I want to be in my car typing.

02:24:59.000 Well, eventually you'll be able to do that.

02:25:01.000 Eventually it won't even have a steering wheel.

02:25:02.000 Eventually it'll be a pod that you get in and it takes you places.

02:25:05.000 This reminds me of that Silicon Valley episode where the self-driving car drives right into one of the shipping containers and then he's just stuck in a shipping container.

02:25:14.000 I didn't see that.

02:25:14.000 Oh, it's so good.

02:25:15.000 I've never watched that show.

02:25:16.000 That show is brilliant.

02:25:17.000 Yeah, it's weird.

02:25:19.000 But again, if you go back to the people that were on trains and riding horses, and you say, one day, you're going to be able to get in a car that goes 1.9 seconds, zero to 60, and it's going to be electric and make no sound.

02:25:31.000 You'd be like, what?

02:25:32.000 Well, one day, you're not going to need to steer, because steering is why people get fucked up, because the cars can't detect other cars around them. 0.91

02:25:39.000 They change lanes. 0.70

02:25:40.000 People make mistakes.

02:25:41.000 They go forward when they shouldn't.

02:25:43.000 They run red lights.

02:25:44.000 All that's going to end.

02:25:49.000 Every time I drive to and from, almost every time there's an accident, I always see.

02:25:55.000 Sure.

02:25:56.000 The other night I was driving home, actually from Mothership, it was like 1.30 in the morning, and there was a guy on the left side of the freeway walking.

02:26:04.000 Yeah.

02:26:07.000 There's no space, by the way.

02:26:09.000 I was like, what is happening right now?

02:26:11.000 People are texting and not paying attention.

02:26:13.000 No, there are trucks behind me.

02:26:16.000 It was nuts.

02:26:17.000 I was like, this guy is either on drugs and crazy or it's some Jason Bourne situation where he was limping.

02:26:25.000 He probably broke down and had to walk. 0.99

02:26:28.000 No, he looked crazy. 0.99

02:26:29.000 Crazy person, decided to flirt with death. 0.98

02:26:32.000 I mean, Texas is a little... 1.00

02:26:35.000 It feels a little unhinged.

02:26:37.000 Does it?

02:26:38.000 Compared to LA? When was the last time you were back in LA? No, I mean, I was just there.

02:26:41.000 I was there two days before the fires.

02:26:43.000 People are unhinged.

02:26:44.000 Yeah. 0.90

02:26:45.000 Yeah.

02:26:45.000 No, I mean, it feels a little wild, like I like it.

02:26:47.000 And as you get older, and you realize it's not going to get any better?

02:26:48.000 I like the...

02:26:50.000 I like the...

02:26:51.000 It makes...

02:26:52.000 I'm coming up on two years here.

02:26:55.000 So what do you mean by wild?

02:26:56.000 It feels wild to me.

02:26:58.000 It still feels very, like...

02:27:00.000 The Wild West, or like Texas, there's just an energy here of kind of, every time I'm down on 6th Street, I'm like, I'm going to catch a stray down here.

02:27:08.000 Well, 6th Street is wild.

02:27:10.000 Where the club is, that's a wild place. 1.00

02:27:12.000 It's fucking bonkers down there! 0.97

02:27:14.000 Yeah, but that also makes the club exciting. 0.99

02:27:17.000 You might catch a stray while you're waiting.

02:27:19.000 No, not that, but all the people, the foot traffic, you know, there's an energy on that street.

02:27:25.000 Yeah, no, I like it. 0.98

02:27:28.000 Even coming from LA, driving in Texas, I was like, these people are out of their fucking minds because it's so much bigger. 0.94

02:27:38.000 It's like 80 miles an hour speed limits everywhere out where I am. 0.99

02:27:43.000 So everyone's actually doing 90. And I would be driving and they're like, get out of the way, grandmas! 0.75

02:27:49.000 I'm like, I'm doing fucking 85. It's not like I'm going slow. 0.96

02:27:53.000 Are you in the left lane?

02:27:54.000 No.

02:27:55.000 No?

02:27:55.000 I'd be in the middle lane.

02:27:57.000 And they're still trying to get you out of the way?

02:27:58.000 Yeah!

02:27:58.000 I was a grandma.

02:28:00.000 I had to up my game.

02:28:02.000 Well, didn't you see that in L.A. too?

02:28:05.000 Yeah, but it was always like street racing kids, like maybe out further.

02:28:12.000 How often could you get your car to 80 miles an hour driving around LA? At nighttime.

02:28:17.000 I mean at night.

02:28:19.000 I'd see a lot of people driving super fast at night in LA. More unhinged people, I think.

02:28:24.000 Really?

02:28:24.000 Yeah, because I would see people driving recklessly on the 101. Like when I was coming home from the store sometimes, I'd be like, what the fuck?

02:28:31.000 That's me going home though. 0.99

02:28:34.000 I don't know.

02:28:35.000 It's pretty nuts.

02:28:37.000 Well, when people live a half an hour away from the city and they want to get home quick, that's how you do it.

02:28:41.000 Now it's me.

02:28:42.000 Now I'm the one who's doing 95. Well, it's those people, too.

02:28:45.000 No, it's true.

02:28:47.000 I don't know.

02:28:48.000 I'm glad I moved here.

02:28:49.000 I remember you saying it feels...

02:28:51.000 My husband's blood pressure actually went down when he moved here.

02:28:57.000 Yeah, there's less people.

02:28:58.000 But it's also just like everything is less of a battle.

02:29:01.000 You said it to me, I think, like you felt like you could exhale on one of our, like when you were talking, you were like, I moved there and just felt like, I can like breathe a little.

02:29:09.000 And I mean, my husband has like scientific evidence that he, his whole like energy field got more chill.

02:29:19.000 Yeah, you're not supposed to be living in a place that has 20 million people.

02:29:22.000 I think it's bad for you.

02:29:23.000 Have you ever been to Cairo?

02:29:25.000 No.

02:29:25.000 Cairo.

02:29:27.000 Nuts.

02:29:28.000 Yeah. 0.92

02:29:29.000 It's the craziest city I've ever been in.

02:29:31.000 I want to go.

02:29:31.000 When you went to the pyramids, when was it?

02:29:33.000 How long ago?

02:29:34.000 Oh my gosh.

02:29:34.000 It was crazy.

02:29:35.000 It was right after the revolution.

02:29:37.000 So we went in 20...

02:29:40.000 It was 20...

02:29:43.000 It was 2000...

02:29:45.000 When was the Arab Spring?

02:29:48.000 That was internet times.

02:29:50.000 It was 20...

02:29:52.000 2011?

02:29:52.000 12, I want to say.

02:29:54.000 2011, 2012. What's that?

02:29:57.000 2010, Arab Spring?

02:29:59.000 So it must have been 2011. That was one of the first revolutions that the internet was credited with starting.

02:30:05.000 Yeah, and no one was there. 0.98

02:30:08.000 So everyone was like, why the fuck are you guys in Egypt? 0.96

02:30:11.000 We got basically a private tour of the whole country. 0.99

02:30:15.000 We were on a cruise on the Nile and it was supposed to be hundreds of people.

02:30:20.000 There were 14 people on the cruise.

02:30:23.000 And we got to see, there's usually lines to go into the Great Pyramids.

02:30:27.000 There were no lines, no lines to see King Tut.

02:30:30.000 There was, no one was anywhere.

02:30:33.000 It was a weird time to be in Egypt.

02:30:37.000 And we saw, I went to Alexandria, was in Cairo, went and did like a Nile cruise, which was amazing.

02:30:45.000 Egypt's, you gotta go. 1.00

02:30:47.000 Yeah, I definitely do.

02:30:49.000 Did you get this weird feeling?

02:30:50.000 How did this go away?

02:30:53.000 Yeah, that's what I don't understand.

02:30:56.000 I think I had a mental breakdown when I was there.

02:31:03.000 We were in the hospital.

02:31:05.000 Not the hospital.

02:31:06.000 I felt like I should get checked into a hospital.

02:31:08.000 We were staying in the Nile across from all the tombs, the king's tombs.

02:31:17.000 And I kept feeling this pulse, and I had a panic attack when I was there, basically.

02:31:23.000 It was the weirdest thing, though.

02:31:25.000 I kept feeling this pulse.

02:31:26.000 It was like, womp, womp.

02:31:27.000 Was this when you were doing drugs before?

02:31:29.000 No.

02:31:30.000 I was drinking still, but I wasn't doing drugs.

02:31:35.000 I thought I was going to end up in a straitjacket.

02:31:40.000 I had a panic attack.

02:31:42.000 I had these crazy dreams.

02:31:45.000 I was like, oh, this is where it all started for my whatever. 0.99

02:31:50.000 It was fucking... 0.97

02:31:51.000 It's weird. 0.99

02:31:51.000 It's a weird energy. 0.99

02:31:53.000 Do you think you were getting this feeling like you said, like here, it's in the soil. 0.96

02:31:58.000 There's something in the soil here, like this fierce independence because these people are tough and they survived making it across the Great Plains and all that shit.

02:32:06.000 Do you think you felt that there, like this is the feeling of this civilization that used to exist in this place? 0.92

02:32:13.000 Yeah, it felt to me...

02:32:15.000 I feel like I had like a past life regression, if that's even a thing.

02:32:20.000 It was like, I felt like whatever journey I've been on, on this planet, it started there.

02:32:27.000 And I went back to the source and it was like a weird, like my dreams were crazy.

02:32:34.000 It was, I couldn't, thank God the guy I was with was like.

02:32:38.000 Nice and kind, but I couldn't...

02:32:41.000 It was like a full-blown panic attack.

02:32:43.000 I couldn't even leave the hotel room.

02:32:46.000 And do you think that's just because of being in Egypt?

02:32:48.000 It was just being in Egypt.

02:32:50.000 Do you think it's because you knew what the civilization was like and it had declined and gone and now you're there and you're just psychologically dealing with this and you're kind of freaking out and putting it on yourself?

02:33:03.000 So they had...

02:33:06.000 They had...

02:33:07.000 I have always been obsessed with Egypt since I was a little kid.

02:33:10.000 Just unnaturally obsessed with it.

02:33:13.000 It was like I read every book about it when I was a kid.

02:33:16.000 I wanted to go there.

02:33:17.000 I don't know why.

02:33:19.000 And I felt like, you know, I like to believe in past lives because I think it's amusing.

02:33:24.000 I'm like, if I can choose, it sounds like a fun...

02:33:26.000 It's like, why not?

02:33:27.000 And I've always felt very connected to it.

02:33:30.000 And so when I went there and was across from, we were in the King Farouk suite, actually, and it had a balcony that overlooked the Nile and the tombs.

02:33:40.000 And it was, I could feel, it was like something in my heart, like a vibration.

02:33:44.000 And they've said that these places, like, where there are these pyramids, they can have vibrations.

02:33:49.000 I'll learn this later.

02:33:51.000 But this was like a weird, like...

02:33:53.000 It kept hitting my heart and then I thought they drugged me.

02:33:56.000 I thought they gave me something in my hibiscus tea because I started like, I immediately, I drank the hibiscus tea and I was like, maybe they put some kind of like hallucinogen in it.

02:34:08.000 But I think I just, I like, I think about this a lot because I've had friends who have had anxiety and panic attacks and I know what it's like to like get in your head and feel like you're losing your mind and I had to baby step my way out of this like, Panic attack where I couldn't eat.

02:34:25.000 I was unable to keep food down.

02:34:27.000 I just took a bath and was like, I'm going to just chew.

02:34:30.000 That's never happened to you before?

02:34:31.000 No.

02:34:32.000 I feel for people who have anxiety.

02:34:35.000 I had anxiety before, but it was when I was smoking a lot of weed and doing a lot of drugs and I was in a marriage I didn't want to be in to my first husband.

02:34:46.000 So your life was a mess?

02:34:47.000 And I just was lying to myself.

02:34:49.000 I think it...

02:34:50.000 I think depression and anxiety can be very useful signposts for something in your life.

02:34:56.000 You're either doing something you shouldn't be doing or you're not doing something you should be doing.

02:35:00.000 You got a course correct.

02:35:00.000 Yeah.

02:35:01.000 It's giving you motivation.

02:35:02.000 Or it's saying like there's something, it's like a soul calling for you to check in.

02:35:08.000 So yoga kind of saved me from that time.

02:35:12.000 I got divorced.

02:35:12.000 It somewhat went away.

02:35:14.000 I've talked about my hypochondria, so I dealt with that.

02:35:18.000 But then this was different.

02:35:20.000 It was like a weird...

02:35:21.000 My body physiologically reacted to it, too.

02:35:24.000 So I, like, not to be too much information, but I, like, randomly got a period out of nowhere.

02:35:29.000 It was just weird.

02:35:30.000 My body started, like, I threw up.

02:35:33.000 I got a period all at once.

02:35:35.000 And it was such a...

02:35:36.000 It's like...

02:35:37.000 It's the most supernatural thing that's ever happened to me.

02:35:40.000 Well...

02:35:41.000 There was another time that was really supernatural when I was in Newport, Rhode Island, and I swear there was, like, a haunting.

02:35:47.000 But other than that, this was, it felt supernatural.

02:35:51.000 Like, it didn't feel normal, and it took me two full days to, like, whatever hit me in my heart on that balcony, and I couldn't, like, all I could hear was this, like, want, want, and it was reverberating from the...

02:36:06.000 I sound like a crazy person, but it was reverberating from the tombs.

02:36:10.000 And then I would just, I remember eating a grape so slowly and mindfully just to like come back into my body.

02:36:18.000 And I had these like crazy dreams and I felt like I saw all these connections, like people in my life present.

02:36:23.000 And it was, it was really, it was weird.

02:36:26.000 It was in that moment when I like.

02:36:28.000 Had a physical reaction where it was like a scene from a movie where it was like, zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, like all these people in my life. 1.00

02:36:35.000 And the guy I was with, thank God, he could have been a total asshole and been like, you're a fucking psycho, I'm leaving you. 1.00

02:36:42.000 But he had had a weird experience with me in his guest house in New Zealand where I would fall asleep sometimes downstairs or we'd pass out or whatever. 1.00

02:36:54.000 And I was like, did you have a dog?

02:36:56.000 Because I was, like, convinced there was a ghost because I kept feeling some weird sense.

02:37:01.000 And he's like, don't talk about the dog.

02:37:02.000 And then it turns out there was, like, a dog.

02:37:05.000 And his kids, like, he had it and then wanted to get rid of it.

02:37:08.000 And so it's like this sore thing. 0.99

02:37:09.000 He's like, how the fuck did you know it was a dog? 0.97

02:37:11.000 And I was like, oh, because the energy was like a puppy energy. 0.99

02:37:14.000 And I was like, what happened to the dog?

02:37:15.000 He's like, nothing.

02:37:16.000 Don't ever talk about the dog.

02:37:17.000 And I was like, okay.

02:37:18.000 So he's like, you're weird and psychic and, like, a weird thing.

02:37:23.000 He was like, you're touched by something.

02:37:26.000 And we used to play backgammon all the time, and one time I rolled a dice, and I'm sure it was just lint, but I wanted to win so badly, and then the dice just was on his corner, just frozen. 0.97

02:37:36.000 So he had weird, like, just on the tip of it, just like, he's like, what the fuck? 1.00

02:37:42.000 You're a witch. 0.99

02:37:43.000 So he had slightly unsettling things with me, enough that I think he was like, alright, maybe she's not. 0.95

02:37:51.000 Totally.

02:37:52.000 Well, they say that places have memory, right?

02:37:54.000 This place...

02:37:55.000 I mean, Egypt is so special.

02:37:57.000 I haven't been, obviously, but I felt weird when I went to Chichen Itza.

02:38:01.000 That feels very weird.

02:38:02.000 Oh, okay.

02:38:03.000 Yeah.

02:38:04.000 I had to...

02:38:06.000 I was, like, baby-stepping.

02:38:07.000 I still get slightly, like...

02:38:10.000 And my life has never been the same really since.

02:38:13.000 Like, it was...

02:38:14.000 And Egypt is... 0.93

02:38:18.000 Cairo's bonkers, but Egypt is the Nile. 0.64

02:38:22.000 I remember just cruising down the Nile and being on the deck, and you can feel what it was like.

02:38:29.000 You're just like, this is what...

02:38:31.000 The memory.

02:38:32.000 Yeah.

02:38:32.000 And the tombs are all very...

02:38:35.000 It's very...

02:38:36.000 I don't know.

02:38:38.000 It was very spiritual for me.

02:38:39.000 It was like a very...

02:38:41.000 I felt like a pilgrimage that I didn't know I was taking.

02:38:45.000 That's how it felt to me.

02:38:46.000 Look, it makes sense.

02:38:47.000 It was the most sophisticated civilization maybe ever in terms of their building.

02:38:51.000 You have to go.

02:38:52.000 I feel like you would love it.

02:38:53.000 No, I would love it.

02:38:54.000 No, I just don't have the time.

02:38:55.000 I almost did it with Mr. Beast.

02:38:57.000 He went in December.

02:38:58.000 Oh, did he?

02:38:58.000 I was going to try to do it and do it with him.

02:39:00.000 He wanted to do a podcast there, but I just couldn't make it happen.

02:39:03.000 I'm too busy.

02:39:04.000 Yeah, and it's a hike.

02:39:07.000 Yeah, I need to take like...

02:39:08.000 A good solid couple weeks.

02:39:10.000 Yeah.

02:39:10.000 Go there.

02:39:11.000 It needs to be something that I know that I'm going to be there for a couple weeks.

02:39:13.000 Yeah.

02:39:13.000 And right now that's not really possible.

02:39:15.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:39:16.000 Yeah.

02:39:17.000 You know?

02:39:17.000 I mean...

02:39:17.000 I went to visit the site of the Illusinian Mysteries and I was with Brian Mirorescu.

02:39:23.000 Where's that?

02:39:24.000 It's in Greece.

02:39:26.000 Oh.

02:39:26.000 And that was wild.

02:39:28.000 Really?

02:39:29.000 That was wild.

02:39:29.000 That place has a memory.

02:39:31.000 For sure.

02:39:32.000 Yeah, just like touching the walls, like it just feels weird.

02:39:35.000 You just feel like this is different, like you're in the presence of something.

02:39:39.000 Very strange.

02:39:40.000 That was Egypt. 0.77

02:39:40.000 Whatever the energy, I bet Egypt was probably even more incredible, but whatever the energy of that place was, there's some of it left there. 0.77

02:39:49.000 There's some weird intangible feeling that's left there that just makes you feel very, very strange.

02:39:54.000 When I was in L.A. at the Getty Villa, I always go there, and they had the Thrace exhibit.

02:40:02.000 What's that?

02:40:03.000 Thrace is like a...

02:40:04.000 I didn't know anything about it.

02:40:05.000 It's a civilization that was like...

02:40:08.000 Partially in Bulgaria.

02:40:10.000 I think it came after ancient Greece.

02:40:13.000 There it is.

02:40:14.000 Treasures from Bulgaria, Romania, and Greece. 0.99

02:40:17.000 This statue is fucking insane. 0.99

02:40:19.000 It looks like it's looking at you. 1.00

02:40:21.000 Look at the eyes.

02:40:22.000 It's insane.

02:40:23.000 It is insane to see it in real life.

02:40:25.000 This exhibit that's there right now is truly one of the most special exhibits I've ever seen.

02:40:31.000 I go to all of them that I can there.

02:40:33.000 And that is...

02:40:35.000 Look at that face.

02:40:37.000 That's amazing.

02:40:38.000 It's crazy.

02:40:39.000 And I knew nothing about this civilization and society.

02:40:43.000 And the more I learn about it, the more obsessed I am.

02:40:46.000 But all of this stuff had its own...

02:40:48.000 Like when the fires were around the villa, I was like, oh God, I hope that they're...

02:40:53.000 I hope that...

02:40:54.000 That all this stuff is okay, yeah.

02:40:56.000 I mean, those walls are, like, fireproof and they've got...

02:40:59.000 I'd never heard of this before.

02:41:01.000 I'd never even really heard of Thrace.

02:41:03.000 You know, I've always been very obsessed with, like, Greek mythology, Roman history, all of these things, but Thrace is this crazy civilization.

02:41:12.000 Look at the relief with two Thracians. 1.00

02:41:14.000 I want to see if I have the...

02:41:16.000 That's crazy.

02:41:19.000 Yeah, if you're back in L.A., I think that exhibit is there until March.

02:41:24.000 March 3rd, I believe?

02:41:25.000 Maybe it says temporarily closed on top.

02:41:27.000 I don't know if it's because of the fires.

02:41:28.000 Probably.

02:41:30.000 Oh, okay.

02:41:31.000 Yeah, I think the Getty's temporarily closed.

02:41:34.000 The Gettyville will remain closed until further notice.

02:41:36.000 Oh, okay.

02:41:37.000 I thought they reopened for some reason, but yeah, they must still be closed from the fires.

02:41:42.000 Someday someone's going to be doing that with the World Trade Center.

02:41:45.000 They're going to be wandering around that.

02:41:47.000 This is where they used to live.

02:41:48.000 They used to go to school here.

02:41:50.000 They used to work in these buildings.

02:41:52.000 That's going to happen.

02:41:54.000 Yeah, the same way we go through the Acropolis in the Parthenon and wander around and imagine what it was like living back then.

02:42:01.000 People are going to do that with us.

02:42:03.000 Every civilization collapses.

02:42:07.000 We're just trying to hold this one off as much as we can.

02:42:11.000 And they usually last a couple hundred years, which is ours.

02:42:14.000 Yeah, we're pretty young.

02:42:16.000 Yeah, but a lot of them haven't made it past where we got to.

02:42:20.000 It always reminds me of that Porno for Pyro song.

02:42:23.000 We'll make the pets.

02:42:25.000 It's like, my friend says we're like the dinosaurs and here we are doing ourselves in much faster than they ever did.

02:42:35.000 I don't know if that's real.

02:42:37.000 The dinosaurs?

02:42:38.000 No.

02:42:39.000 The other thing, we're doing ourselves in faster than them.

02:42:41.000 No, they get hit by a rock.

02:42:42.000 I was like, oh no.

02:42:44.000 We're coming to dangerous territory where we find out Joe doesn't believe in dinosaurs.

02:42:48.000 We were talking about Candace Owens last night. 0.98

02:42:51.000 Candace Owens said dinosaurs are fake and gay. 0.99

02:42:57.000 Is that what she says? 1.00

02:42:58.000 Yeah.

02:42:59.000 I don't know what she means by that.

02:43:01.000 She might just be having fun.

02:43:03.000 This whole Bridget McCrone thing, though, is crazy.

02:43:06.000 Did you watch any of it?

02:43:07.000 No!

02:43:08.000 No.

02:43:10.000 No, I got no time.

02:43:11.000 But I did see a comparison to the photographs of the person that she's claiming is actually, you know, like the brother.

02:43:21.000 Oh, the brother.

02:43:22.000 Didn't the brother disappear or something?

02:43:23.000 Yeah, the brother disappeared.

02:43:24.000 And the brother literally looks exactly like her. 0.98

02:43:28.000 I mean, to a fucking T. She was kind of on the Blake and Ryan thing, too, I think. 0.99

02:43:35.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:43:35.000 She's a sleuthin'. 0.99

02:43:37.000 She's been a sleuthin'.

02:43:38.000 Look at these.

02:43:39.000 Okay, that's pretty freaking weird.

02:43:41.000 I'll send it to Jamie.

02:43:43.000 Because this is, I mean, she's just going all in.

02:43:46.000 First of all, I don't even know if this is a real picture. 0.97

02:43:48.000 I mean, this easily could be some AI bullshit that somebody created to try to pretend that the brother is actually her. 0.57

02:43:55.000 But the brother is, like, not to be found. 0.97

02:44:01.000 If that's real...

02:44:02.000 See, I don't know if that's real.

02:44:04.000 That can't be real. 0.99

02:44:04.000 I don't know if that's real because, I mean, even the fucking teeth are the same. 0.99

02:44:08.000 Like, everything's the same. 0.99

02:44:08.000 Every wrinkle of the face is the same. 0.99

02:44:10.000 If that was my brother, if my brother looked, I'd be like, wait a minute, we're not twins?

02:44:15.000 So we're not twins.

02:44:16.000 Like, what?

02:44:17.000 It looks photoshopped.

02:44:18.000 The mouth definitely looks photoshopped.

02:44:19.000 How so?

02:44:20.000 Because, like you said, the teeth are exact.

02:44:22.000 Yeah, exact.

02:44:23.000 In the exact position, right?

02:44:26.000 Yeah, they're not even almost...

02:44:27.000 Right, it looks fake.

02:44:29.000 It looks like somebody doctored up, somebody used AI. Same cracks in the lips.

02:44:32.000 Right here.

02:44:33.000 Pretty much, right? 1.00

02:44:34.000 That's probably bullshit. 1.00

02:44:35.000 That mouth is photoshopped. 1.00

02:44:37.000 Yeah, so you can't tell what's real and what's not real online anymore.

02:44:42.000 Nothing's real!

02:44:43.000 Nothing.

02:44:44.000 You literally can't tell.

02:44:45.000 You have to operate from the idea that this is not real.

02:44:49.000 You have to start there now.

02:44:50.000 Right, but also this is just the beginning.

02:44:53.000 What are we going to be looking at five years from now?

02:44:55.000 We're going to be looking at indescribable experiences that are indistinguishable from reality.

02:45:00.000 Not just images, but you're going to be able to have experiences that aren't real.

02:45:07.000 Do you think that the Metaverse thing is going to take off?

02:45:11.000 Like people are going to be plugging in?

02:45:12.000 Yeah, if it gets good enough.

02:45:14.000 Yeah, and cheap enough because it's kind of expensive.

02:45:17.000 It's expensive and it's also weird to have something in your face.

02:45:19.000 People feel weird like wearing this big clunky thing. 0.99

02:45:22.000 But if you can sit down and attach something to your head and then all of a sudden you're in another world, you're an avatar flying on a fucking dragon. 0.99

02:45:29.000 We're gonna do it. 0.99

02:45:30.000 I mean, it sounds...

02:45:31.000 Isn't, like, Redman really into that?

02:45:33.000 Oh, loves it.

02:45:34.000 He's, like, famous in the metaverse.

02:45:36.000 He goes in there every night.

02:45:37.000 He has, like, parties and stuff. 0.98

02:45:38.000 He's a nut.

02:45:40.000 It's perfect for someone like him.

02:45:41.000 He's a video game guy, loves the internet.

02:45:43.000 Matt was telling me, you can do a Type 5 at a comedy club there.

02:45:48.000 It's crazy.

02:45:49.000 Zuckerberg showed me that too.

02:45:50.000 There's a metaverse comedy club.

02:45:52.000 Yeah, but he's like, you had to know people to get in, and he's famous.

02:45:56.000 I was like, it's nuts that this already exists to me.

02:45:59.000 Well, it's just the beginning.

02:46:02.000 That's Pong.

02:46:03.000 And whatever it's going to be like 20 years from now is going to be something really wild.

02:46:07.000 Isn't it weird to think that you might just exist forever in the metaverse talking?

02:46:12.000 Because you've done so many podcasts.

02:46:13.000 They'll just be able to cut and paste and make you kind of like...

02:46:16.000 Not even just that.

02:46:17.000 What if you're a god in the future?

02:46:20.000 Well, they'll be able to get a map of how I think and how I go over things and how I go, well, maybe not.

02:46:25.000 Let's look at that.

02:46:26.000 And then they'll apply that sort of thinking.

02:46:28.000 And they'll be able to do podcasts with me with anyone in history.

02:46:32.000 I'll be able to have a podcast with Albert Einstein.

02:46:34.000 I always think about this when I see the people who get tattoos of you.

02:46:37.000 I'm like...

02:46:37.000 Future civilizations are going to be like, who was this man?

02:46:41.000 He must have been someone important.

02:46:43.000 Maybe a shaman or a brahmin. 1.00

02:46:45.000 No, he's a bro cage-fighting commentator.

02:46:51.000 Yeah, me and Einstein.

02:46:52.000 Just chilling.

02:46:54.000 Look at him.

02:46:54.000 That's a young Einstein, too.

02:46:58.000 I was looking into this.

02:46:59.000 They can already do it.

02:47:00.000 What?

02:47:01.000 Let me hear this.

02:47:04.000 They don't have their voices.

02:47:05.000 Oh, they don't have their voices.

02:47:06.000 But I've seen one where they did.

02:47:08.000 Oh, Nikola Tesla.

02:47:09.000 Ooh, I'd love to have a podcast with him.

02:47:11.000 They already did a podcast with me and Steve Jobs.

02:47:13.000 Did they?

02:47:14.000 Yeah, an audio one.

02:47:15.000 An audio podcast with me and Steve Jobs.

02:47:17.000 It's crude.

02:47:17.000 You can kind of tell that it's not real.

02:47:19.000 But that's just because it's, you know, first generation.

02:47:22.000 That's really weird.

02:47:23.000 Yeah.
