In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe and Andrew talk about psychedelics and how to deal with it. They also talk about what it's like to be a narcissist and how it's okay to be insecure.
00:03:18.000And I tell him this all the time, but, like, it's also amazing because he's, like, hyper-aware of what the most negative thing could be.
00:03:24.000Right, so for joke writing, it's amazing.
00:03:26.000It's like he's constantly wondering, like, what would his biggest hater think?
00:03:29.000I actually think it was one of the reasons why Chappelle's show was so successful because it's, like, to create things, you need to be super confident.
00:03:37.000You need to not worry about who's going to criticize you.
00:03:40.000So if you can outsource your criticism, so if Dave can, like, think about these things and be like, okay, this is awesome, and then Neil can be like, yeah, yeah, but this would be said if we do this, and then together you have this, like, perfect combination of, like, uber confidence and then this insecurity, and then you make these things that are just masterpieces.
00:04:08.000But then he said he did the ayahuasca and he was like, he had gave me this like, I don't know, feeling of connectedness or whatever people experience through it.
00:04:17.000And he's like, it was really liberating.
00:04:18.000I think I did my best work afterwards because I wasn't constantly beating myself up.
00:05:20.000And then I realized, like, oh, this is like your brain trying to occupy itself with, you know, this time that's going to be between you and your goal of...
00:06:02.000So if you have a regular job job, like an office job, you will pretend to be a whole different person for eight hours a fucking day every day of your life that you're there.
00:10:11.000He had this thing where he would go to businesses, like if they had some sort of a dispute, like say if there's some sort of an issue, like maybe some black executive got fired, maybe shouldn't have, or someone put something on the wall in the bathroom, something, Jesse Jackson will come in for a nominal fee.
00:12:12.000No, the numbers can get shocking, but it's funny the Jesse Jackson thing is an actual job, because I remember, like, I had a joke that could never work out, but the idea...
00:12:24.000It was Black Lives Matter when Ukraine started popping, right?
00:12:30.000So everybody had the Black Lives Matter posters in their windows in New York.
00:12:34.000And when Black Lives Matter kind of came down...
00:12:38.000Well, it's once those ladies got caught buying houses.
00:12:43.000So now there's all these white people in New York that have Black Lives Matter in their window, but they're like, I've got to get this out of my window.
00:12:48.000So I had this idea for a joke where it's like, if I was a black dude, I would set up a business where we will take down your Black Lives Matter poster for you and then replace it with a Ukraine flag.
00:13:45.000And as a community, as a country, we pay zero attention to the completely downtrodden.
00:13:51.000I think this is the biggest mistake that the Democrat Party has made, is not making it a class issue.
00:14:01.000Like, the most successful people in the party, like Bernie, and you like her politics or not, but like AOC, they make it a class issue every single time.
00:14:09.000I think AOC polled the same as Trump in her district.
00:14:57.000His fans or his supporters are sexist, they're racist, and they're these bros that are fucked up, and they're radioactive, and they're bad people, and he's got a real problem.
00:15:06.000So they're trying to make him radioactive.
00:15:08.000And I remember seeing the reaction to Trump coming on the pods, and it was the exact same playbook.
00:16:51.000They probably had weak character to begin with, but they could get away with it if they were not in situations that, you know, caused a lot of anxiety or stress.
00:17:02.000But then as soon as they do get in a situation...
00:17:05.000Like if you're the boss of some workplace somewhere.
00:17:09.000I've just seen people just completely lose their shit when people rely on them and depend on them.
00:17:42.000I feel like you took care, like, before you opened the comedy club, you were taking care of these people that you asked to come out here and work for you.
00:17:50.000So you must have felt this concern for them.
00:17:54.000Weren't you paying them even before the club was open?
00:17:56.000Yeah, well, they were all unemployed out of LA, so I said, listen, we're gonna open up a club, we're gonna find a spot, but you could start immediately.
00:18:04.000So, like, you just get paid, enjoy Austin, kick back, relax, we'll call you in about a year and a half.
00:18:22.000This way, we already have the best people that, you know, got fired from the Comedy Store, because Comedy Store couldn't open, because LA's retarded.
00:18:30.000And so we got them all to come out here, and it's like, look, the right thing to do is to, like, pay them now, and we'll figure that out.
00:18:37.000We just had to figure out where the spot was, and then, obviously, once we got the spots, like, this is gonna be a long...
00:18:42.000We're going to have to put some construction on this bitch and do a lot of shit.
00:18:56.000If it burdened me, like if it was something where I was worried I was going to run out of money, like if I was stretched real thin, I'd be like, fuck, there's so many people working for me.
00:19:39.000I know it's real, because it exists in me.
00:19:41.000The idea, though, is that it's fleeting, and it's dependent upon a multitude of factors.
00:19:47.000Your will is really dependent upon your hormone levels, your genetics, how much sleep you've had, what positive or negative experiences have shaped you in your life.
00:19:58.000There's a lot going on that forces you into this position where you have to decide whether or not will is real.
00:23:03.000And shit-talking artists, they want...
00:23:07.000To be around a bunch of people and have a good time.
00:23:09.000So you don't need to come from trauma to be ambitious and be a shit-talking artist.
00:23:16.000All you have to do is be someone who admires success and who wants to progress and keep getting better at this thing that they love that has given them so much.
00:23:26.000You also have to sacrifice and you have to commit to things.
00:26:30.000They've gotten real close, you know, where you could put on haptic feedback suits and you can see things and you feel like you're in a room.
00:28:18.000I think that the actual way that things happen and work is dependent entirely on the level of consciousness that people have that are experiencing it.
00:28:30.000It sounds like very hippy-dippy and wooey, and it all comes from a lot of different things, but one of it comes from Tom Campbell, who wrote this very fucking bizarre book that I've listened to an audiobook twice now, where he's talking about essentially what we think of as reality is just a simulation.
00:29:59.000You can effortlessly take payments for whatever you want to sell thanks to Squarespace payments, giving you options like Apple Pay, Klarna, and more.
00:30:10.000Plus, with integrated SEO tools, your customer base will always be able to find you.
00:30:48.000I'm well aware, if you're, like, criticizing me, this is a dopey way to describe it, but I, you know, if the tree falls in the forest and there's no one there, does it make a sound?
00:33:42.000If you wanted to go through a game, a video game, and before you go through the game, it shows you these are the arenas in which you're playing.
00:39:25.000Pressfield talks about that that thing that wants you to be lazy if you if you have value in that you find value in that and it helps you live like a more enriched more fulfilling life you tend to just keep doing that because this is like if I I know for a fact me as much as I work out and take care of myself if I take like three days off you'll start to get used to it I start getting depressed I start getting anxious I start feeling weird like I don't feel level Like,
00:39:55.000a couple of days off, you're just like, ugh, I just feel gross.
00:39:58.000I was just like, why is the world so weird?
00:39:59.000And then I'll have one good hard workout, and then I'm like, oh, everything's fine.
00:40:04.000And I'm like, how many people need that and don't get it?
00:40:19.000You have to deal with these difficult things because for millions of years, that's how our brains and bodies have been processed to work efficiently.
00:40:26.000And if you don't put in those situations, is the messaging like...
00:41:29.000If you don't do that, I don't think your body is in sync.
00:41:33.000And I think there's a whole lot of people running out there taking care of things with pills that you could fix way better and feel and look better, more importantly.
00:41:45.000It would help in every aspect of your life.
00:47:33.000Like, if you've gone to, like, Ireland, you go to Dublin.
00:47:35.000Like, during the day, there are very different people.
00:47:38.000And they seem kind of, like, tight and dour.
00:47:41.000And then at night at the pub after, like, a few Guinness, it seems almost cliche.
00:47:46.000But everybody's singing and dancing, and there's so much love and connectivity, and you see why all this great literature, music, and poetry just comes from this tiny little island.
00:47:56.000And you're like, oh wow, you really need that.
00:47:59.000It is a tough place to live, and you gotta stuff everything down, and you need a release valve.
00:52:03.000You really realize how much Your actual time working on something is precious when you have children because they just go to bed and you're like, okay, I got an hour to get some shit done.
00:52:44.000Even going out and, say, having some drinks or whatever, and waking up and feeling kind of shitty, without the kid, I kind of feel guilty by halfway through the day.
00:53:35.000It's amazing you spend all this time as a comedian thinking of unique or different angles, and then you're presented with your child, and every feeling you have is the most cliched feeling that everybody has ever described in having a child.
00:53:52.000Yeah, and then you don't mind when babies are crying on airplanes anymore.
00:56:01.000It's like, I saw once, CNN, after the election, they were talking about us in specific, and they were talking about how there is this...
00:56:10.000Network of podcasts that are interconnected that has been financed like this this huge corporate finance Network black rifle coffee No, it's actually just a bunch of friends you fucking idiots We just happen to do each other's podcast, but they're like trying to sort it out.
00:56:31.000It's like they support each other they go on each other's shows And they're all in this together.
00:56:59.000The results of the election, I don't think that...
00:57:02.000They would like to believe this, but it was a rejection of what was happening.
00:57:06.000I think the assumption is everybody just loves Trump and he's just this populist and every person that voted for him is like, I just love everything about this guy.
00:57:13.000But I actually think that a lot of people were just like, I don't like what's happening now.
00:57:19.000And this current administration is saying that they don't want to change much that's happening now.
00:57:24.000So I'm voting against that lack of change.
00:57:27.000And I think it's important for them to realize that.
00:57:44.000But you got to look at that and you got to pay very close attention to what people are feeling.
00:57:50.000Don't tell them what they should feel and you know better and oh we have to you know lead them to the water because they're too stupid to know how to find it.
00:59:25.000Instead of going, well, this guy is the food doctor and we're going to hire the food doctor because he knows what food is good for you and you guys should just shut up and listen.
00:59:33.000And I feel like there's a lot of this top-down on the left.
00:59:38.000And I'm not trying to just bag on the left.
00:59:49.000There's this, like, Ivy League pretentiousness in the Democratic Party, I feel, where they're like, we know better and just, you must be stupid if you don't agree with us.
00:59:58.000And it's like, all right, well, I'm stupid.
01:00:03.000So why doesn't somebody meet me where I'm stupid and start at least making me feel like I'm not an asshole for the way that I, you know, for my, I guess, you could say political leanings now.
01:00:16.000Make it a class issue and I think they win.
01:00:19.000Say what you want about America, but I think it's better if we have two people running for president that we're stoked about and it's a really hard decision.
01:00:29.000We had one group of people that legitimately wanted to change things, and then we're going to see what happens if they do.
01:00:34.000But you're seeing weird stuff today that you never see before, which is like a real adjustment to the age of the internet.
01:00:42.000One of the things you're seeing is, I don't know if you saw the 22 different congresspeople who were all saying the exact same line with the word shit in it.
01:02:17.000And it is kind of like bigoted in a weird way where like, it feels like they're almost in a think tank like, hey listen, these poor dummies, they like it when you curse.
01:02:31.000And it's like, no, no, no, we actually need somebody disruptive.
01:02:34.000We need somebody on the left that is...
01:02:36.000That might speak like that but authentically speaks like that and is willing to disrupt even what's happening the left because if you look at like what happened with the Trump and the movement like he disrupted the right the right looks very different now than it did five ten years ago right definitely so I want like like a MAGA Democrat yeah like for real like and and what is that like what do we at the at our baseline want right we like abundance tell me how great America is going to be in your version of it you want to build Clinton talk that shit Like come out talking
01:03:07.000shit Bernie was talking shit, and I want you to come out and if Trump can say we're gonna take Greenland There can be some den that goes one dollar eggs and straight up says we're gonna subsidize it How would you do that?
01:03:18.000Subsidize corn you subsidize dairy you subsidize everything like why can we not subsidize it?
01:03:23.000But say something that's actually gonna impact people now Trump's not gonna take Greenland So maybe you don't get the one dollar eggs, but you get this messaging across that you're actually trying to help people.
01:03:32.000Mm-hmm And you're gonna have to deal with those lobbies that are bankrolling you, and that might piss them the fuck off, but that's the disruption we need for you for us to trust you.
01:05:35.000Instead of it being something where it's like California, they're taking the homelessness, where nothing gets done but money keeps pumping into it.
01:05:41.000No, the only way you get paid is based on results.
01:05:45.000So you have a contract with incentives based on results.
01:05:58.000You have to make food, healthy food, far more accessible.
01:06:03.000It would be very easy to open up enormous food pantries in the inner city and finance it in comparison to the amount of money we spend on other countries doing transgender monkey studies or whatever the fuck we do.
01:06:18.000The stuff they do is nuts, like $20 million to Sesame Street in Iraq.
01:06:23.000So if you've got enough money for that, you've got enough money to set up food banks in every fucking city where poor people can get nutritious food.
01:06:31.000Just sign on, have a driver's license, whatever the fuck you need to get your food.
01:06:35.000And what are the downstream effects of that?
01:06:36.000You have way less health issues, which takes down the cost of health care.
01:06:40.000Also, people aren't desperate because you can actually always eat, which is a real problem with some people in this country, right?
01:06:47.000what's this about Jamie What are you pulling this up for?
01:06:49.000They didn't do a very good job, apparently.
01:07:56.000And I'm sure there might even be a little North Korea shit where it's like, yeah, you're not in the gang, but your cousin is, and you hang out with him, and now you're in his prison.
01:09:22.000And it was this beautiful place, this amazing oasis where, like, not only are you getting to meet friends and stuff like that, but I'm getting to compete.
01:09:28.000I'm getting to play against guys way better than me.
01:09:30.000And there are these, I mean, even as I say this right now, I'm like, I gotta, like, donate money to, like, they created this place where there was a lot of kids in those programs that they might have ended up doing some fucked up shit, man.
01:09:42.000And they had a place where they could go.
01:09:52.000That's the biggest misconception of all of this is that we don't want this place to be better, but there have to be certain changes that we make.
01:09:58.000Dude, I'm socially about as liberal as it gets.
01:10:01.000And I'm a firm believer in a social safety net, too.
01:10:04.000I'm a firm believer in welfare and food stamps.
01:10:06.000I just think there's a way to address the root of the problem, which is people with no hope.
01:10:15.000And the way to do that is you've got to give them hope.
01:10:17.000You have to make it safer for them to live where they live.
01:10:19.000You have to make it healthier for them to live where they live.
01:10:22.000And then, I don't think it would cost that much to provide guidance for a bunch of kids that want guidance.
01:10:27.000And if you have good, solid role models that know how to do that kind of stuff, and they can all work together and build a program, what if those kids wind up being really talented musicians, or really talented athletes, or whatever the fuck it is?
01:10:44.000Like, I feel like you've created an environment where it's like these guys can make enough money to survive, which is a very hard thing to do as a fledgling comedian, right?
01:10:53.000And some of these guys who are door guys, they're starting to get spots around.
01:10:56.000Even, like, some of my guys, you know, like, obviously Derek Poston, is, like, making real money, right?
01:11:01.000And learning how to flourish as a comedian instead of working 60 hours at a job and then doing comedy when he potentially can.
01:11:31.000But you would hope that the government can create that same level of benevolence without Leaking too much money.
01:11:37.000Yeah, it just it has to be done for the right reasons the right way with the right people And that was what we pulled off at the mothership because I was able to get everybody from California But also I knew that that was the formula because it was kind of like the heart and soul of the store It was like the people that were the coolest people that were running things over there Bring them over here.
01:11:55.000Yeah, and it was just The whole thing was so nuts, dude.
01:11:59.000It was like the universe wanted it to happen.
01:12:01.000Every light turned green right when we got to it.
01:13:19.000It wasn't like, well, if I sell drinks for X amount of money and then I charge this amount for a ticket and fuck the comedians over, I did the opposite.
01:13:28.000I pay the comedians way more than everybody else pays.
01:16:03.000But that's not exactly what's happening.
01:16:04.000Sometimes, of course, people are going to get jokes.
01:16:06.000But there's this moment where, like, you get to watch some of these guys, like, hopefully they're realizing, they're like, oh, I am, oh, that is a kind of funny thing about me.
01:16:15.000And that's, like, the first kernel of, like, where they'll write their first good joke.
01:16:31.000Like, I hope you keep doing this, because you're gonna be good.
01:16:34.000And, like, we started asking him questions, and there's this Mexican guy from San Antonio, and he works at, like, Office Depot.
01:16:39.000And there was something funny about, like, hold on, so, like, there was, like, something about, like, you know, he's selling, like, papers.
01:16:44.000And I was like, hold on, so there's, like, a Mexican guy, like, people are asking for paper.
01:16:47.000Like, there's just, like, there's all these, like...
01:16:50.000Like, it seems like a setup, you know what I mean?
01:16:56.000It was just really cool to see it happen, and it reminded me of these early stages of comedy where you're putting together these things that you think are funny, and funny is kind of already existing in you, you know?
01:17:06.000And, yeah, it was a cool aspect of the show that I'm sure the people that watch it, and it's just a massively successful show, so they're familiar.
01:17:14.000But maybe the people that don't watch it don't know about the show.
01:17:18.000They just think Tony's just roasting people.
01:21:04.000I think there's a little bit of a hindrance in that one minute a week, because it's like you spend so much time working on that one minute that maybe you don't spend enough time tightening up your hour, whatever you have when you're on the road.
01:21:16.000I was like, you give this minute out, and it goes out to the whole comedy world.
01:26:44.000You just realize when somebody's operating on like every single cylinder firing and you get up after it and you're like, oh wow, I'm missing somebody.
01:26:51.000He has something that I don't have and I need to find that shit.
01:26:54.000When you're going up in like the cushy spot, second or third, and you're killing it, you think you're the funniest in the world.
01:26:59.000And then when you follow somebody that like levels the room and the whole room is kind of unsure if he's just like inventing these things in the moment, if these are bits, like they just get caught up in this like tornado of creativity.
01:27:49.000I don't know if comedians are doing this all the time, but your openers that you take on the road with you, they should really be pressing you.
01:28:21.000And it's like, and also, like, I understand what it means probably for them, because I've been in maybe that situation where you're like, holy shit, like, yeah, they're bringing me up with the show.
01:32:55.000And just good enough for this blue-collar crowd at Nick's Comedy Stop.
01:32:59.000And then Bill Hicks goes on stage, and he's smoking a cigarette, and he's talking about, I came here to fill you up with ideas you couldn't possibly imagine on your own.
01:37:52.000You might be talking about some shit that makes me feel a little weird, but it's real to you, so I go, okay, I'm going to rock with you on this.
01:38:33.000And I kind of have empathy for it because it's like you probably struggle for so long you find something that works and you're like, okay, finally I'm able to make some money.
01:38:40.000Finally I'm able to have some security.
01:38:41.000But you've got to keep growing past it.
01:38:45.000I think generally those people are self-obsessed too.
01:38:48.000In a bad way, where they think about themselves and success rather than the thing they're doing.
01:41:23.000Is that the Trump administration, what they're uncovering with Doge, like all this waste and fraud and abuse, whatever you want to categorize it as.
01:41:32.000And I'm sure there's a bunch of things that fall into different categories.
01:41:50.000The tricky thing about this Doge thing is, like, I don't think there's any American out there that is supportive of waste, fraud, and corruption.
01:42:24.000Political decorum, like having that ability to pull everybody into this thing might be a little bit more effective on an issue that we can all get behind.
01:42:33.000There's no American that wants waste, fraud and corruption.
01:42:35.000I hate that this is becoming bipartisan.
01:42:37.000It drives me fucking crazy because on the surface, nobody wants the waste.
01:43:23.000But this is where you wish that there was some sort of masterful communication version of this instead of a little bit more of this like...
01:43:32.000Putting the knife in and twisting it a little.
01:43:37.000I think people are really foolish spending all their time just attacking the ideas of the other party instead of promoting really good ideas of your own.
01:43:48.000And the thing about this whole doge thing is it's such a lightning rod.
01:43:52.000And one of the reasons why it's such a lightning rod is because these politicians are being pressured to try to keep a lot of the spending.
01:44:56.000It's I'm sure it's amazing and I will I will watch I just didn't have I was busy last night, but it's like There's there's also a way to To really clearly Express to people that there's legitimate use for aid And this isn't really USAID. It's United States Agency for International Development.
01:45:17.000If you're worried about foreign aid, I fully, completely agree we should spend money in third-world countries building wells.
01:45:25.000We should spend money trying to get food to poor people.
01:45:28.000And that's not what this program is designed to do.
01:47:41.000So, like, say if you have a pistol, and the back of the pistol, where the handle is, there's this plate like this, and then there's a little post at the front, and you line the two of them up like that.
01:47:51.000And you're shooting 140 yards with iron sights.
01:49:38.000So if you're zeroed, say if I'm shooting a deer and my rifle's zeroed at 100 yards, that means at 100 yards it shoots exactly where that crosshair is.
01:53:11.000You've got freeze-dried food, generally speaking.
01:53:15.000There's a bunch of different meals, like mountain ops.
01:53:19.000There's a bunch of different companies.
01:53:21.000So this is a guy carrying an elk quarter on his back.
01:53:24.000That motherfucker probably has 100 pounds on his back right now because he has his bag and his pack, which is probably 50 pounds, and then he has that giant-ass elk leg on his back.
01:53:32.000Alright, so is there ever, like, a distance that they deem too far because walking back with the elk, it wouldn't be worth it?
01:53:40.000So, like, I imagine you're tracking for a while.
01:53:42.000It's not like you just walk in and there are all the elks, right?
01:54:41.000Yeah, they'll keep your camp on their back, and you'll have several, like a train of them, and then you can load them up with elk quarters, and then take them back.
01:55:33.000Like, when you cook them over a fire, it can get pretty tough, unless you do it, like, real low and slow, like smoking it almost, like they would do a barbecue.
01:58:08.000So you play with a deflated tennis ball.
01:58:11.000So what essentially what it is you got to show highlights because I'm so fucking horrible that it's not gonna do it justice But the idea behind it is at least for me is There's always hope so the ball gets past you in tennis you're cooked the ball gets past you in paddle It bounces off that back wall, and you're playing it off the back wall, so you're never fully out of the game And you're constantly it's my it is the only thing outside of like surfing and Boxing and then comedy where I'm not look at this What?
02:01:18.000If you're a really competitive person, when you play against someone who's got more strength than you, even when I would box and shit like that, somebody who was just bad, eventually if they can connect, it's over.
02:01:28.000And even in this, in power, you can mitigate their power.
02:02:16.000My boy Jason just hit me up and he's like, listen, I know you got the special and everything going up, but my calf is feeling better, so we got a game Wednesday.
02:03:59.000I hope that if stem cell technology advances, if the FDA finally allows people to have the same kind of stem cells in America that they do in Colombia and Mexico.
02:08:07.000Pull-ups is part of my exercise routine when I'm doing any other body.
02:08:11.000Pull-ups are great exercise, but hanging is great for shoulder health.
02:08:15.000So what I do every day for at least a minute, usually more, I usually do a couple of sets of hangs before I do anything.
02:08:25.000I'll do my warm-ups with push-ups and bodyweight squats, and then what I do is I chalk up my hands, and I grab ahold of the bar, and I just hang.
02:08:34.000And I just try, and I feel my back popping, like it decompresses your back because your spine, like the weight of your hips and your legs is pulling on your spine for the first time.
02:08:59.000They have a great one where you – it's called the Dex.
02:09:01.000I like it better than the ankle one where you hinge at the hips and you fall forward and then you just – it's basically like your lower body and your hips are carrying – like locking your weight in place and you're leaning forward.
02:09:15.000So the full weight of your upper body is decompressing your back and I'll feel it going like pop, pop, pop.
02:09:21.000I'll feel like little pops in my back and I stretch it and I move on that.
02:09:25.000And it's all just about keeping the spine pliable and keeping the range of motion in your spine, but also in your shoulder joints.
02:09:33.000It's one of the best things for shoulder joints is to just hang.
02:09:58.000Okay, maybe I have to add that in, yeah.
02:09:59.000I also stretch on a bar, where I grab the bar and I turn like this, and I get it like that, and I get a deep stretch that way, and I get a deep stretch the other way.
02:10:07.000I'll do that on my back on the ground.
02:10:09.000You should also do these things called crossover symmetry.
02:10:14.000It's these bands, and they have varying resistance, like different colors or different strength or resistance.
02:10:20.000You don't even need a lot of resistance.
02:10:21.000The whole idea is just you're working the tendons and all the connective tissue, and you're just doing all these different shoulder exercises.
02:10:30.000One is attached to a post over here, and the other one's here.
02:10:33.000So I'm doing these, and I'm doing these, and I'm pinning them against my arm, and I'm doing it like that, where I'm just working the rotator cuff muscles.
02:12:16.000And Brigham Bueller, who's the CEO of WasteWell, he's worked so hard on edge. He's been on this podcast a bunch of times and Tucker's podcast, a bunch of podcasts, just talking about all these different methods that are available that are being stifled by the FDA.
02:12:34.000Once you get something that you're addicted to, longevity exercise or regimens or whatever it is, are very easy to do.
02:12:42.000Because you're not really doing them so you can live to 100. You're like, how do I play this thing next week?
02:14:07.000There's a reason why USADA didn't let people use it in the UFC, and now Drug Free Sport also doesn't let people use it in the UFC. It's because it works.
02:16:31.000And they determined that the people that did the sauna four times a week, For 20 minutes at 175 degrees, had a 40% decrease in all-cause mortality.
02:16:41.000Now, when you drop the number of sessions, you also drop the all-cause mortality survival.
02:17:03.000That's interesting because the easiest way to discredit it would be like, well, yeah, the people that do saunas want to increase their life, but what you're saying is there's an increased amount of assistance if you do it more.
02:17:16.000The benefits are legitimate, real, measurable.
02:18:37.000It wouldn't affect me on stage because Once I'm on stage, I'm locked into the performance.
02:18:42.000And that's how I knew it was all psychological.
02:18:44.000But when I was off stage, there were times where I'd be at the cellar, and I'd have to leave the cellar, and there's this little park on 6th Avenue that's not even really a park, but there's benches.
02:18:52.000And I would just sit there, and I would just fucking box-breathe by myself, trying to get a full breath.
02:18:57.000And I'd go to this doctor, and I was like, what the fuck is it?
02:19:00.000And it was a stress-induced asphyxiation or something like that.
02:21:02.000Japanese cold plunge study often referenced, discussed about...
02:21:05.000Immersing the wrist in cold water before exercise significantly increased testosterone levels in young Japanese men compared to immersing it after exercise, which suppressed testosterone levels, highlighting the importance of timing when using cold stimulation for potential hormonal benefits.
02:21:21.000So what this guy did was he plunged, not just the wrist, and then went to the doctor months later, and the doctor thought he was on hormones.
02:21:30.000The doctor's like, you have 1,100 testosterone.
02:22:01.000No, dude, it was I mean it was too funny.
02:22:03.000I told the guy I mean this is I don't even do this in the special anything but like I They were like the shape is a little off or whatever and I was you're so defensive I go well, maybe when they hit the cup So hard.
02:22:40.000You know when you're like running and at the end of your, you're doing like a hard cardio intensive exercise, this idea like you can't get to 100% in your lungs.
02:22:48.000And I never had experienced in my life, like I can work pretty hard.
02:22:54.000Like I feel like maybe that's a competitive advantage of mine.
02:22:56.000Like I might not be the most skilled in certain things, but like I can go.
02:25:40.000So, and then you think about it, and I will say this, though, like, finding out that it was me...
02:25:47.000And being able to, I felt more comfortable talking about it on stage, because now I'm not talking about this incredibly embarrassing thing to this woman who does not want to be in entertainment at all, like the most private person.
02:25:57.000About me, I was like, oh, I can talk about this a little bit.
02:26:00.000And being able to talk about it on stage, and I would talk about it on stage, and there would be these dudes that would come up to me after shows, and they wouldn't admit they were going through it, but they'd be like, yo, that was really funny, bro.
02:26:09.000Like, yeah, you should keep talking about that shit.
02:26:12.000I would, like, talk about it on tour, and I'd get these fucking DMs, and, like, all these people would start telling me that they're going through IVF, and, like, even close friends started to be like, yo, actually, that's how we got pregnant.
02:26:24.000And I didn't realize it was this, this, like, almost, like, last taboo thing where there's this incredible isolation in it because you don't want to feel the judgment.
02:26:34.000There's all this pressure to obviously have a family.
02:26:35.000You don't want to feel like you're the person that's, like, stopping that.
02:27:04.000There were three things when I talked to Trump that I wanted to ask him about specifically.
02:27:08.000And one of them was securing IVF. Because I know a lot of people who are against abortion also look at IVF and like, okay, you're throwing out embryos, you're killing people or potential people, and they want to use the anti-abortion argument to get rid of IVF. Really?
02:27:58.000Senate Republicans block IVF bill as Democrats elevate issue ahead of November election.
02:28:03.000But what I'll say is Trump said that they're going to back it with the full power of the Republican Party and that anybody that goes against it that they would campaign against.
02:28:11.000And then he even signed that executive order to expand it.
02:30:38.000He had brain cancer, and then he thought he was going to die, so he was like, fucking, I'm going to be a DJ with the time I got left.
02:30:44.000And it went into remission, but he basically quit his construction job.
02:30:47.000He just did this boiler room set, and it is just like...
02:30:50.000I could be, like, putting this energy on it because I want to believe it or whatever, but the intensity of it is this is my shot and I'm going to be unrelenting, right?
02:31:00.000And the second I saw that he's Japanese, maybe this is my, like, this is the guy.
02:34:20.000Which is like an unbelievable feat when you think about like American families or British families that like have gotten rich and then three generations they've squandered it all.
02:35:09.000Being a cobbler when your dad was a cobbler and his dad was a cobbler.
02:35:12.000I feel like we've lost that a little bit in, like, American dream culture, where it's like, if you don't go out and achieve your craziest dream...
02:35:18.000Some people don't have that dream, but taking over their dad's business is something that they can feel good about and honor instead of, like...
02:36:41.000Yeah, I don't think that that's—it would be great if there was less rigidity and there was a lot of honor in that.
02:36:47.000And it was something we really respected.
02:36:49.000Because I know in New York, even my wife, like my wife is like, you know, she got her fucking MBA. She was working for Apple and AI projects.
02:36:54.000And then she goes, that's my dream to be a mom.
02:36:57.000And I feel societal scrutiny about it, but I don't fucking care because I want to be a mom.
02:37:02.000You know who really gets the scrutiny?
02:40:42.000I think about everybody as a baby now.
02:40:45.000Everybody's a baby that became a 60-year-old man with a big old wino nose, you know, when they get those big, crazy fucking gin blossom faces.
02:41:34.000And if you haven't been trusting your instincts in your life and you haven't been taking chances, then all of a sudden you have to take one at like 35. It's hard, man.
02:42:48.000You just become like a real human being.
02:42:51.000It's interesting when I hear people that don't have kids kind of complain about the world and I'm like, oh, you actually don't really understand how high the stakes get.
02:42:59.000The way that I relate to every bit of stimulus has completely changed.
02:43:17.000It's very easy for people to, even with the vaccine shit, it's very easy for people who don't have kids to tell you, oh, just trust the doctors or whatever.
02:43:25.000The second you have a kid, it is probably the most terrifying thing you'll ever do in your entire life is injecting something into the most perfect thing you've ever created and then every single day wondering and seeing if she's still smiling and seeing if she's still okay and feeling responsible if anything negative happens.
02:43:45.000And then if you don't do it, Feeling responsible if she got fucking the measles or mumps or whatever the fuck it is.
02:45:09.000They knew there was no reason to do that, but they wanted everybody to take it because that's where the money is.
02:45:13.000And that's a scary thought that we live in a world that there's people out there that would literally sacrifice the health of children for profit.
02:45:20.000But ultimately, that's that's what they do.
02:45:22.000That's I mean, that's a thing that's been done.
02:45:25.000It will continue to be done unless something happens.
02:46:13.000I think he did porn or maybe that was just a headline that I saw.
02:46:17.000but whatever but it's crazy though the assassin is a good-looking guy becomes a hero Like, if he was an ugly fat guy with a MAGA hat on, everybody would want him dead.
02:46:47.000We'll find out when the trial happens what the lore is, but, you know...
02:46:51.000A broken clock is right two times a day, though.
02:46:54.000It was real weird when people were like, yeah, more of that, please.
02:46:59.000To me, that's just desperation, and you get to see it manifested.
02:47:03.000It's like, if you're like a really, really, really, really, really rich person with power, you want to make sure the poorest people have enough to survive.
02:47:13.000The second they don't feel like they have hope and they don't feel like they have enough to survive, they start storming your estate.
02:47:20.000Well, especially when you talk about health care, because there's people whose job is to deny people health care that deserve it.
02:49:53.000But I also think you've got a lot of really good, smart people trying to make sure that, at the very least, the people here invent it before the people in China, which I think is probably important.
02:50:07.000Whoever launches the god first is going to be in charge of a lot of stuff.
