The Joe Rogan Experience - Joe Rogan Experience #2362 - Ralph Barbosa

00:00:03.000 The Joe Rogan experience.

00:00:06.000 Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

00:00:13.000 So let's go.

00:00:15.000 What are you doing?

00:00:15.000 We playing with magnets?

00:00:17.000 I'm checking out all your toys.

00:00:17.000 Yeah, man.

00:00:19.000 This guy's name is Travis?

00:00:19.000 What'd you say?

00:00:20.000 That's Travis Walton.

00:00:22.000 And he's a guy that got abducted allegedly by some sort of a UFO in the 1970s.

00:00:31.000 And the story was so crazy that it became a movie.

00:00:34.000 It's called Fire in the Sky.

00:00:36.000 And I don't know.

00:00:37.000 Like I said, I don't know if he's telling the truth, but it's very compelling.

00:00:40.000 He doesn't seem like a liar.

00:00:42.000 And he's been telling the exact same story for 40 plus years.

00:00:46.000 I think he's telling the truth.

00:00:47.000 You think so?

00:00:48.000 Yeah.

00:00:49.000 Yeah?

00:00:49.000 Yeah.

00:00:49.000 I don't know.

00:00:50.000 I don't know anybody.

00:00:51.000 I mean, personally, I don't know anybody who's kept up a lie for that long.

00:00:55.000 There's got to be someone.

00:00:56.000 Got to be someone that's like, I think people can make a story up and then only keep that lie.

00:01:03.000 Usually, generally, when people lie about stuff, they'll lie about a bunch of stuff, especially something that crazy.

00:01:08.000 They took me aboard a UFO and they fixed me.

00:01:11.000 So this is the story.

00:01:12.000 The story was these guys were all loggers in Arizona.

00:01:16.000 And so they're driving down this logging road and they see some crazy light in the sky and it goes into this area.

00:01:22.000 They pull off to the side of the road.

00:01:24.000 They walk towards it.

00:01:26.000 And there's this disc that's like hovering, this glowing disc.

00:01:30.000 He walks towards it and he got really close to it and he got hit with a beam of light and he falls back.

00:01:38.000 Like that's supposedly what it looked like.

00:01:40.000 That's the art, the art depiction of it, what these guys saw.

00:01:44.000 He gets hit with this beam of light and they take off.

00:01:48.000 They're like, fuck.

00:01:49.000 And they did jump back in the truck and take off.

00:01:51.000 He's lying on the ground.

00:01:53.000 And they get like five minutes away and they're yelling at each other.

00:01:56.000 We got to go back.

00:01:57.000 We've got to go get him.

00:01:58.000 They were scared.

00:01:59.000 And so, fuck it, let's go back.

00:02:00.000 So they go back to go get their friend and he's gone.

00:02:04.000 So five days later, there's, you know, there's a manhunt for him.

00:02:08.000 Nobody can find him.

00:02:09.000 Five days later, he shows up, walks into town.

00:02:13.000 He's fully, it doesn't look like he's starving to death.

00:02:17.000 He's not out of water.

00:02:18.000 Doesn't look like he's been living in the woods.

00:02:20.000 It just looks like he just like a normal day.

00:02:26.000 And he tells this crazy story.

00:02:27.000 He tells this story that he got abducted.

00:02:29.000 They took him aboard this craft and fixed his body because the beam of light that came out of the ship from whatever it was, whatever energy source it was, fucked his body up.

00:02:39.000 They repaired it and they communicated with him telepathically while they were on the ship.

00:02:44.000 I forget all the details of it, but this is the film of it.

00:02:52.000 But this is supposedly what he said the experience was like.

00:02:56.000 He said it was terrifying.

00:02:57.000 And he described the thing that's crazy is that they all describe the same exact creatures.

00:03:02.000 They describe these people that get abducted.

00:03:06.000 People that have had UFO experiences, anybody that's had direct contact.

00:03:11.000 Do you ever see that movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

00:03:14.000 I saw that movie, The Fourth Kind, when I was in middle school.

00:03:16.000 What's that one?

00:03:17.000 Is that an abduction one?

00:03:19.000 They come get you?

00:03:20.000 Yeah, it's like, man, I only watched it once.

00:03:23.000 It scared the shit out of me.

00:03:24.000 I think people go under like hypnosis and they remember what their abduction was like or something like that.

00:03:31.000 Yeah.

00:03:32.000 Yeah, don't quote me on that.

00:03:33.000 Well, the third kind, I think, is contact.

00:03:36.000 I think the close encounter is the first kind is like you see it.

00:03:39.000 I don't know what the second kind is.

00:03:41.000 There's like a list of the kinds.

00:03:43.000 The fourth kind derived explanation.

00:03:45.000 J. Allen Hynek's classification of close encounters with aliens.

00:03:48.000 The fourth kind denotes alien abductions.

00:03:51.000 Dun, dun, dun.

00:03:52.000 Yeah, that one.

00:03:54.000 I like how we talk about aliens, like it's like feeling on a girl, like second base.

00:03:59.000 You get to the fourth kind.

00:04:00.000 Get the fourth base.

00:04:02.000 She takes you home.

00:04:03.000 Yeah.

00:04:04.000 But his friends, they're like his friends that left him, that left him.

00:04:11.000 Yeah.

00:04:12.000 I mean, they saw it.

00:04:13.000 Yeah.

00:04:14.000 They all had the same story.

00:04:16.000 That has to be real.

00:04:17.000 I don't think he's going to convince these guys.

00:04:19.000 Probably not, but maybe you could.

00:04:22.000 It's like, it's not impossible.

00:04:23.000 It's not like they, it's like breathing underwater.

00:04:25.000 That's impossible, right?

00:04:27.000 Okay.

00:04:27.000 Flapping your wings to the top of a cliff, you fly away.

00:04:30.000 That's impossible.

00:04:31.000 Keeping a lie is possible.

00:04:34.000 It's not likely.

00:04:35.000 It doesn't make sense.

00:04:36.000 It doesn't make sense.

00:04:38.000 One of the reasons why it doesn't make sense is Travis and one of the guys in the truck had gotten into a fistfight that same day.

00:04:44.000 Like, they didn't like each other.

00:04:45.000 They hate each other.

00:04:46.000 They're workers.

00:04:46.000 They're just co-workers.

00:04:47.000 You know, logging is hard fucking work, man.

00:04:50.000 You're cutting trees and carrying trees, and it's back-breaking, brutal labor.

00:04:57.000 And you get hard men.

00:04:59.000 Loggers are bad motherfuckers, man.

00:05:01.000 My friend Evan, his whole family is from Loggers.

00:05:05.000 And they're just, he's like, they're the hardest fucking people you've ever met in your life.

00:05:09.000 Just hard men.

00:05:11.000 Like, doing this shit deep into their 60s and 70s, carrying logs.

00:05:16.000 Just a different breed of human being.

00:05:19.000 So they fucking didn't get along.

00:05:22.000 And they got in a fist fight that day.

00:05:24.000 So why lie for him?

00:05:25.000 Why would you lie for him?

00:05:26.000 Exactly.

00:05:26.000 Why would you lie for him?

00:05:27.000 Yeah.

00:05:28.000 These are hardworking men, Joe Rogan.

00:05:29.000 They don't need a lie.

00:05:30.000 They're savages.

00:05:31.000 Yeah.

00:05:32.000 Hey, did his friends get any money from that movie?

00:05:34.000 What friends?

00:05:35.000 His friends, that is.

00:05:36.000 His friends?

00:05:37.000 Yeah.

00:05:37.000 That's a good question.

00:05:38.000 It's a good question, right?

00:05:39.000 Because then it would be a reason to lie.

00:05:42.000 Yeah.

00:05:42.000 But the movie was a long time after the actual event.

00:05:45.000 What year was the movie, Jamie?

00:05:46.000 93.

00:05:47.000 93.

00:05:48.000 And this happened when?

00:05:49.000 In the 70s.

00:05:49.000 In the 70s?

00:05:50.000 Yeah, there's no way.

00:05:51.000 Like, bro, any day now you're getting paid.

00:05:54.000 I got D.B. Cooper light.

00:05:56.000 Who's the guy that was the actor?

00:06:02.000 D.B. Sweeney?

00:06:03.000 D.B. Sweeney.

00:06:04.000 That's right.

00:06:04.000 D.B. Cooper is the guy that stole the money and jumped off the plane.

00:06:07.000 D.B. Cooper?

00:06:09.000 You ever heard that story?

00:06:10.000 Was he the guy wanted by the FBI?

00:06:12.000 Yes.

00:06:12.000 Yeah.

00:06:12.000 Like a top 10 wanted or something like that?

00:06:14.000 Yeah.

00:06:15.000 He stole a bunch of money and then hijacked an airplane and then jumped out of the airplane with the money.

00:06:20.000 And he died?

00:06:21.000 Like they found the body.

00:06:24.000 Was it like a mysterious mysterious thing?

00:06:26.000 Yeah.

00:06:27.000 You never heard that story?

00:06:27.000 Oh, shit.

00:06:28.000 Nah.

00:06:29.000 It's an interesting story, but the area the guy skydived into was heavily wooded.

00:06:34.000 And the problem with that is if you're a skydiver and you're in a parachute and you're going to a heavily wooded place, you're going to land in the trees.

00:06:42.000 Yeah.

00:06:43.000 And then you risk like getting what just cutting yourself loose.

00:06:47.000 Also, cutting yourself loose out of the trees.

00:06:50.000 What if you're 30 feet up?

00:06:52.000 How are you getting down?

00:06:53.000 Yeah.

00:06:54.000 What if you fall getting down?

00:06:56.000 People go missing in the woods all the time and no one finds them ever.

00:07:01.000 You don't find nothing.

00:07:02.000 What?

00:07:03.000 Why don't we hear about this more often?

00:07:03.000 Yeah.

00:07:05.000 Well, you do if you pay attention, but I don't pay attention.

00:07:09.000 You know, there's only so many things you can think about.

00:07:11.000 There's a recent update on the Cooper story, but this is just a brief for those who never have heard of it.

00:07:17.000 Okay, D.B. Cooper is the moniker given to the skyjacker, a dapper, dark-haired man, apparently in his mid-40s, who called himself Dan Cooper.

00:07:24.000 The mystery man passed a flight attendant a note while on a Northwest Orient airlines flight in Portland, Oregon, bound for Seattle November 24th, 1971.

00:07:34.000 The note contained, claimed rather that he had a bomb in his briefcase, which he opened to show a large tangle of wires and red sticks.

00:07:42.000 When the Boeing aircraft landed in Seattle, the man who became known as D.B. Cooper freed 36 passengers in exchange for a mountain of cash and four parachutes.

00:07:52.000 The plane took off with several crew members aboard, bound for Mexico City on his orders.

00:07:57.000 Wow, so he just made them fly him somewhere with a briefcase with a bomb in it.

00:08:02.000 And they were listening to him.

00:08:04.000 So at an altitude of 10,000 feet above Seattle and Reno, he jumped from the back of the jetliner with a parachute and the ransom money vanishing into history.

00:08:12.000 The case remains unsolved despite the manhunt, a manhunt, the FBI tenaciously interviewing hundreds of people in a cottage industry of true crime bruffs, buffs pouring through the events.

00:08:23.000 Nah, I do got away.

00:08:25.000 There's no way that he thought all of this out and then was like, ah, once I get in the air, I'll just wing it.

00:08:32.000 Like the man knew he was going to jump over those woods.

00:08:35.000 He knew that the minute he landed in Mexico, they'd have some sort of like dog day afternoon.

00:08:40.000 Right, but he wasn't in Mexico.

00:08:42.000 He jumped outside of Portland, right?

00:08:44.000 Yeah.

00:08:45.000 It was in the Pacific Northwest that he jumped, right?

00:08:47.000 Yeah, like they just took off and like 20 minutes in, he's like, all right, I'm out.

00:08:51.000 That's the biggest curveball to throw them because they're going to, their plan is to go to Mexico.

00:08:51.000 Yeah.

00:08:57.000 Right.

00:08:57.000 Go to Mexico.

00:08:58.000 Right?

00:08:58.000 He thinks he's going to land safely and then they're going to figure out a way to.

00:09:01.000 Yeah, but the thing is, have you ever been in the Pacific Northwest?

00:09:04.000 You ever been to the woods up there?

00:09:06.000 Not in the woods, but I've been, I've seen them from the highway.

00:09:10.000 Tall as trees.

00:09:11.000 Okay, yeah, tallest trees and real dense, like this, like a box of q-tips.

00:09:16.000 That's how I always describe the trees up there.

00:09:18.000 Like, they're really close to each other.

00:09:19.000 There's not a lot of open space up there at all.

00:09:21.000 It's all just trees.

00:09:23.000 So if you're landing into that mess, you're not going to find a spot to land.

00:09:27.000 And then here's the other problem.

00:09:28.000 If you do find a spot to land, where are you?

00:09:32.000 Do you know where you are?

00:09:33.000 Do you know how to get out of there?

00:09:34.000 I think that dude.

00:09:35.000 You could walk for days in any direction and not find shit.

00:09:38.000 Nah, I think he planned that part.

00:09:40.000 I don't think he did.

00:09:41.000 I bet he was on meth.

00:09:43.000 For real.

00:09:44.000 That sounds more like that.

00:09:44.000 Probably.

00:09:45.000 I bet he was.

00:09:45.000 That's a meth move.

00:09:46.000 The whole thing's a meth.

00:09:47.000 I'm going to get a fucking bomb.

00:09:48.000 I'm going to get a little plane.

00:09:49.000 I'm going to tell him.

00:09:49.000 I got a fucking bomb.

00:09:50.000 I want some money.

00:09:51.000 And I want some fucking parachutes.

00:09:52.000 And I'm going to get the money.

00:09:53.000 And I'm just going to parachute to safety.

00:09:55.000 It sounds like a terrible idea.

00:09:56.000 You think so?

00:09:57.000 I mean, I think for a second there, it can.

00:10:02.000 Like, if the guy was sober, I think it's genius.

00:10:05.000 I think he's a sober genius.

00:10:08.000 You think he's just some method?

00:10:09.000 Yeah, I think he's a method.

00:10:10.000 I think he studied the woods for like months.

00:10:14.000 No way.

00:10:15.000 Because how are you going to know?

00:10:16.000 You're going 10,000 feet above the earth.

00:10:19.000 You're going 500 miles an hour and you're going to jump.

00:10:22.000 So I want you to imagine that.

00:10:24.000 So here this you're going 500 miles an hour and then you jump.

00:10:29.000 Where are you going to land?

00:10:31.000 You're going 500 miles an hour.

00:10:32.000 You have to fall 10,000 feet.

00:10:35.000 Where the fuck are you going to land?

00:10:36.000 You have no idea where you're going to land.

00:10:38.000 You should make tests.

00:10:40.000 Like, you should be in charge of creating the SATs.

00:10:43.000 That's like question number eight.

00:10:44.000 Where the fuck are you going to land?

00:10:45.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:10:47.000 Back then, there was no GPS.

00:10:49.000 Okay?

00:10:50.000 So back then, all you had is a compass.

00:10:52.000 So even if you have a map, like how big is your map?

00:10:56.000 People were smarter back then, though.

00:10:57.000 No, they weren't.

00:10:58.000 I used to live back then.

00:10:58.000 Trust me.

00:11:00.000 I feel like people had to, like, I feel like the further back you go in time, maybe not too far back, right?

00:11:08.000 But I feel like 70s, 60s, 50s, 40s, like people were forced to learn maps, learn their directions, learn how to utilize a compass.

00:11:20.000 People were better on their feet.

00:11:22.000 You know what I mean?

00:11:23.000 That's true.

00:11:24.000 They definitely knew more phone numbers.

00:11:25.000 They definitely knew how to get around more without any sort of GPS.

00:11:30.000 I'm addicted to GPS.

00:11:31.000 That shit runs my life.

00:11:32.000 If I want to go somewhere, I always put it in my phone.

00:11:34.000 Yeah, you do like traffic updates.

00:11:37.000 Yeah, that's huge.

00:11:37.000 That too.

00:11:38.000 Oh, detour.

00:11:39.000 Fuck you, people.

00:11:41.000 And you feel happy.

00:11:42.000 Look, I got to run that traffic.

00:11:43.000 Back in the day, you just had to memorize routes, memorize which routes were busy at which times.

00:11:49.000 And you had to listen to AM radio for the traffic update.

00:11:52.000 The traffic update brought to you by Costco.

00:11:55.000 Hey, who's that one guy that comes on?

00:11:57.000 I don't know if he still does.

00:11:58.000 He like, what's the story with him?

00:12:00.000 He got like really rich and he gives people financial advice.

00:12:04.000 Is it Ramsey?

00:12:05.000 Oh, yeah.

00:12:06.000 Dave Ramsey?

00:12:07.000 Dave Ramsey?

00:12:08.000 Do you know him?

00:12:08.000 Yeah.

00:12:09.000 No.

00:12:09.000 Oh, I thought you knew him.

00:12:13.000 Back to D.V. Cooper.

00:12:14.000 I think that dude was on meth.

00:12:16.000 I think that's a total meth head plan.

00:12:19.000 All right.

00:12:20.000 I got a fucking bomb.

00:12:20.000 Maybe.

00:12:22.000 He's got a bunch of red sticks with wires.

00:12:25.000 Blow it up, bitch. 1.00

00:12:26.000 What is that?

00:12:26.000 You don't know how to.

00:12:27.000 What's in that bag?

00:12:30.000 I think he's a pure meth head.

00:12:32.000 That's what I think.

00:12:33.000 Crazy, wild dude.

00:12:35.000 They say Hitler was on meth, too.

00:12:38.000 Yes.

00:12:39.000 Yeah, most likely.

00:12:40.000 He was definitely on Oxycodone, and the actual Nazis were definitely on meth, for sure. 0.70

00:12:46.000 They gave Nazis meth. 0.82

00:12:48.000 There's a great book.

00:12:48.000 Oh, yeah, man.

00:12:49.000 Is it out there?

00:12:50.000 It's in the other room.

00:12:51.000 It's in the other room.

00:12:52.000 It's called Blitzed by how do you pronounce his name?

00:12:57.000 Or Norman Orr.

00:13:01.000 Norman Oler, right?

00:13:04.000 Ohler.

00:13:04.000 Norman Oler.

00:13:05.000 Great guest, too.

00:13:06.000 He was amazing.

00:13:08.000 But he wrote this book about all the meth they took during World War II.

00:13:13.000 It's all about the most meth.

00:13:15.000 Wait, so he was a Nazi that wrote a book? 0.87

00:13:18.000 No.

00:13:18.000 Oh, he's a researcher.

00:13:20.000 How dare you?

00:13:20.000 I want to read a book by a Nazi.

00:13:22.000 Well, you'd have to read like Mein Kampf and you have to read it with a book cover on so people don't think you're a psycho.

00:13:27.000 Well, I mean, we got to know what they were thinking.

00:13:29.000 You know what I mean?

00:13:30.000 People should read it.

00:13:31.000 That's the book.

00:13:32.000 That book is great.

00:13:33.000 Blitzed.

00:13:34.000 So they were all on.

00:13:35.000 That's Hitler just all fucked up off meth. 0.60

00:13:38.000 Well, Hitler was definitely on Oxycodone. 0.57

00:13:40.000 He was on a bunch of other shit, and he had a doctor.

00:13:43.000 It's a really good book.

00:13:44.000 You should read it.

00:13:44.000 It's very interesting because it gives you a totally different insight into why they were behaving the way they behaved.

00:13:50.000 Like the kamikazes, for instance. 0.98

00:13:52.000 You know, they flew their planes right into the ships.

00:13:54.000 They were on meth.

00:13:56.000 What?

00:13:56.000 Yeah.

00:13:56.000 That's why they did it.

00:13:58.000 But like, what kind of meth?

00:13:59.000 Like, crystal meth.

00:14:01.000 But, like, okay, but like, how were they taking it in?

00:14:03.000 Were they just like smoking the pipe and then hopping in the question?

00:14:07.000 You can eat it.

00:14:08.000 First of all, there were pills, and there were actually prescription pills that the government would give out in Germany.

00:14:14.000 What's it called?

00:14:15.000 Previtin?

00:14:16.000 Pervitin.

00:14:18.000 So this Purvitin stuff was essentially an over-the-counter methamphetamine that you could buy.

00:14:25.000 That's how many people were on meth.

00:14:27.000 I feel like a lot of the most popular drugs at one point or another are like over-the-counter medication.

00:14:35.000 Or like presidential pressure.

00:14:36.000 At one point, right?

00:14:37.000 Oh, yeah.

00:14:38.000 Like hot syrup.

00:14:39.000 Like everybody's doing promithazine.

00:14:41.000 I mean, they still are, right?

00:14:42.000 But then they had to like ban it.

00:14:44.000 Yep.

00:14:45.000 Yeah, syrup.

00:14:46.000 For every war and abused drug.

00:14:48.000 What is this, Jeremy?

00:14:49.000 It starts off with, I didn't know ISIS uses an ADHD drug.

00:14:55.000 ISIS is on Adderall.

00:14:56.000 Captagon.

00:14:57.000 Captagon sounds like a fake drug.

00:14:58.000 That sounds like a drug in a movie.

00:15:00.000 The kids want Captagon.

00:15:02.000 It sounds like it was made by the guy who made adamantium metal.

00:15:05.000 Right, right, right.

00:15:07.000 So it was an early ADHD, a failed ADHD drug.

00:15:11.000 It was banned almost globally in the 1980s, but a few Middle Eastern nations are still producing it.

00:15:17.000 What does it do?

00:15:18.000 A stimulant gives some sort of euphoria and a sense of purpose.

00:15:21.000 Let's bring that shit back for you.

00:15:23.000 Euphoria and sense of purpose.

00:15:24.000 How about trying to give me some fucking vaccines that I don't need?

00:15:27.000 And how about hooking me up with a little euphoria and sense of purpose?

00:15:30.000 A little sense of purpose.

00:15:32.000 Little yellow tablets seem to be fueling much of the mayhem in Syria, but illicit drug uses on the battlefield isn't new.

00:15:40.000 That's pervitin.

00:15:41.000 Yeah, so the methamphetamine pervitin was distributed to soldiers in preparation for the war.

00:15:46.000 And what's interesting about that is they had different doses for different people.

00:15:49.000 Like the dudes in the tank at the very front, they got the most meth.

00:15:53.000 Of course.

00:15:53.000 Damn.

00:15:54.000 You get an eaty of the crazy job.

00:15:57.000 Because they would have to stick their heads out the top of the tank, wouldn't they?

00:16:01.000 and then like, so there it is.

00:16:03.000 Fucking go, fucking go right now.

00:16:04.000 Fucking turn around.

00:16:04.000 They got to, find it, What's back?

00:16:07.000 Shut up. 0.95

00:16:07.000 Shut up again. 0.95

00:16:08.000 Boom, boom, boom.

00:16:09.000 I mean, you imagine what it sounds like when a fucking tank cannon goes off.

00:16:13.000 She says the U.S. military distributed an estimated 200 million amphetamine pills to its soldiers during World War II, and Japanese kamikaze pilots in the Pacific used it in their final fateful missions.

00:16:24.000 Whoa, U.S. military.

00:16:26.000 Our guys were on meth too?

00:16:28.000 Oh, yeah.

00:16:29.000 Oh, yeah.

00:16:30.000 World War meth.

00:16:31.000 U.S. military distributed an estimated 200 million amphetamine pills to its soldiers during World War II.

00:16:39.000 Yeah.

00:16:39.000 Well, this is, look, if you have soldiers and they're in combat, you want them to live and succeed.

00:16:47.000 You don't give a shit if they're, oh, they're taking steroids.

00:16:51.000 Good.

00:16:51.000 Give them all the steroids.

00:16:52.000 Give them every fucking thing you can give them.

00:16:54.000 Give them EPO if it helps their endurance.

00:16:57.000 Give them steroids. 1.00

00:16:58.000 Give them shit that makes them more aggressive.

00:17:00.000 Give them things that make them more confident.

00:17:02.000 Give them everything.

00:17:03.000 Give them beta blockers.

00:17:04.000 Give them whatever the fuck works.

00:17:05.000 They're in combat.

00:17:07.000 Like, that's important.

00:17:09.000 So if you got amphetamine, give that shit up, dog.

00:17:11.000 Do you think anybody was like, they stayed addicted or anything?

00:17:15.000 Oh, for sure.

00:17:15.000 Yeah.

00:17:16.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:17:17.000 Yeah, 100%.

00:17:18.000 Would it be cruel if I went up to like a World War II veteran with like a pipe and was like torching it at the point?

00:17:22.000 I don't think they'd do it that way.

00:17:23.000 I think they were taking the pills.

00:17:25.000 You still like to party, old man?

00:17:28.000 Just crush some of them pills up, put it on the table.

00:17:30.000 Maybe he'll snort it.

00:17:32.000 I learned a lot when I'm here.

00:17:34.000 I feel like a lot of your guests, like, they have so much to like share with the world, but I just come here to just ingest.

00:17:40.000 Well, I'm ingested too, dog.

00:17:42.000 Child soldiers in Africa.

00:17:45.000 Why couldn't I say that word right?

00:17:46.000 Child soldiers in Africa are commonly given a mixture called brown brown, which is cocaine and gunpowder.

00:17:52.000 Holy shit.

00:17:53.000 Whoa.

00:17:54.000 This is ingested by inhaling it into the nostrils, a method that rapidly affects The user and is conducive to addiction.

00:18:04.000 What about the gunpowder makes it better?

00:18:07.000 Also, here, whereas you were saying that too, back to the Civil War, they were used in alcohol.

00:18:13.000 Yeah, American Civil War soldiers were often given alcohol prior to battle as a form of liquid courage and as a means of steadying their nerves.

00:18:20.000 Huh.

00:18:22.000 Wow.

00:18:23.000 Niall Ferguson concluded that World War I could not have been fought without alcohol.

00:18:28.000 During World War II, amphetamines were used.

00:18:30.000 Yeah, amphetamines are better.

00:18:32.000 Like, if you've got a choice between alcohol and amphetamines, like, bro.

00:18:36.000 I was watching this dude.

00:18:37.000 Oh, man, I forgot his name.

00:18:39.000 He, like, gives these lectures on history.

00:18:43.000 No, I don't know.

00:18:43.000 David?

00:18:45.000 Jan Carlin?

00:18:46.000 Nah, that's not it.

00:18:47.000 Wait, can I pull out my phone?

00:18:50.000 Yeah, sure.

00:18:50.000 I don't know.

00:18:51.000 I feel like he's like school.

00:18:52.000 What was he doing lectures about?

00:18:54.000 I don't know.

00:18:55.000 I was only watching them because I was like, I better brief up on something to talk about.

00:18:59.000 The last time I was here, you know, I read the comments on the last time I was here, and people were like, ah, this episode, this dude's not so cool.

00:19:07.000 He's not interested.

00:19:08.000 The last guy was better.

00:19:10.000 That was a great episode, The Last Guy.

00:19:12.000 So I'm like, all right, well, who is he?

00:19:14.000 And that dude was like out here.

00:19:16.000 I think he was like a fighter pilot talking about aliens, like spilling.

00:19:19.000 And I was like, why?

00:19:19.000 Why don't you put me after that fucking guy?

00:19:26.000 On the way here, the driver was like, yeah, man, the other day we drove an Irish comedy writer who ended up getting canceled and this and this happened and they took his shows off, but there's all this controversy.

00:19:39.000 And I'm like, now I got to go up against this guy.

00:19:42.000 Like, that guy.

00:19:43.000 You got to think about it that way, man.

00:19:45.000 Just hanging out.

00:19:46.000 We're having fun.

00:19:46.000 People like these shows as much as they like all the other shows sometimes.

00:19:49.000 This is part of the show where I talk about AG1, which I've done for years.

00:19:53.000 And usually I like to talk about routine.

00:19:55.000 And don't get me wrong, because routine is super important.

00:19:58.000 And AG1 is exactly the kind of daily, easy routine that can help you feel healthy and help you get the nutrients that your body needs.

00:20:06.000 But even if you love a routine, isn't it nice to switch it up a little?

00:20:09.000 Well, here we go.

00:20:11.000 After 15 years of the original, AG1 has introduced three new flavors: tropical, berry, and citrus.

00:20:17.000 It's still daily.

00:20:18.000 It's still a routine, but it's no longer one flavor fits all.

00:20:21.000 And honestly, the best part is that's the only thing that's changed.

00:20:25.000 Besides new flavors, we're talking about the same science, the same 75-plus ingredients, and the same exact benefits.

00:20:31.000 I partnered with AG1 for so long because they're committed to constantly improving.

00:20:36.000 And now that includes offering three new flavors.

00:20:39.000 Subscribe today and choose Tropical, Citrus, Berry, or the classic original variety.

00:20:45.000 If you use my link, you'll also get a free bottle of AGD3K2, an AG-1 welcome kit, and five AG-1 travel packs with your first subscription.

00:20:55.000 Just go to drinkag1.com/slash Joe Rogan or head to the link in the description to get started with AG1 and try the new flavors yourself.

00:21:05.000 That's drinkag1.com/slash Joe Rogan.

00:21:09.000 Look, this guy's name is Dr. Roy Casagranda.

00:21:14.000 Okay, and what is his deal?

00:21:16.000 So I was watching this video where he explains like what led to World War II.

00:21:20.000 Oh, interesting.

00:21:21.000 But he spends like 45 minutes talking about the hundreds of years before World War I even and how that kind of came to play.

00:21:30.000 So first he like explains how World War I came to play because to understand why World War II happened, you got to understand why what caused World War I, you know?

00:21:40.000 And I forgot where I was going with this history of war.

00:21:44.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:21:45.000 No, so everything I listened to it.

00:21:48.000 I had to listen to it like three times because, you know, I just kept getting distracted and stuff.

00:21:54.000 But it sounds so like sophisticated and it makes sense.

00:21:58.000 If you listen to it all, I'm like, okay, I get why World War I happened now.

00:22:03.000 But then finding out that everybody was just like drunk and on meth the whole time just sounds like it sounds like this was such a broy idea to go to war. 0.93

00:22:12.000 Like it's all the sophistication behind it.

00:22:14.000 But then at the end, they were just like, fuck it.

00:22:15.000 Let's just get fucked up while we're out there, though.

00:22:17.000 But all those old-time English gentlemen, they all wanted to go to war.

00:22:22.000 It was like you wanted to prove your courage in battle.

00:22:26.000 And it was a, it was a, it was a broy thing.

00:22:29.000 It was almost Like a frat boy thing.

00:22:31.000 Well, everybody wanted to conquer land back then, right?

00:22:34.000 And just rule empires and shit.

00:22:37.000 I feel like we should go back to that.

00:22:39.000 What are you talking about?

00:22:40.000 No, I feel like stuff is too leisurely now.

00:22:43.000 It's too comfortable.

00:22:44.000 That's true.

00:22:45.000 But we need to teach people that leisurely is not good for you.

00:22:49.000 You don't need artificial, you know, you don't need the kind of conflict that's going to ruin cities and kill people.

00:22:55.000 Don't go back to that.

00:22:56.000 That's stupid.

00:22:57.000 We just need to understand how to manage the human body.

00:23:01.000 What do you mean?

00:23:02.000 Manage the body.

00:23:03.000 Manage your brain and your body.

00:23:05.000 You're saying everybody should work out to just eat healthier?

00:23:08.000 That's the most minor interpretation of it.

00:23:13.000 But we need to figure out a way to keep people from being aggressive and to keep people from being greedy and keep people from stealing resources.

00:23:21.000 And we need to curb some of the worst aspects of human nature.

00:23:26.000 And I think the only way to do that is mushrooms.

00:23:29.000 Everybody has like mandatory mushrooms.

00:23:34.000 Mandatory mushrooms.

00:23:35.000 If I become president, mandatory mushrooms. 0.71

00:23:37.000 Well, mushroom day.

00:23:38.000 And afterwards, everybody's just going to hug it out.

00:23:40.000 Go, I don't know what I was thinking, man.

00:23:41.000 I'm sorry.

00:23:42.000 It's like an adult vaccine.

00:23:45.000 Yeah.

00:23:46.000 A vaccine for human stupidity.

00:23:48.000 But I mean, that's our problem is that we're managing human behavior, right?

00:23:53.000 We're managing, we want to steal resources from this country because they got all the natural gas and this country's got all the minerals.

00:23:59.000 So we're trying to make some sort of a side deal with the rebels to overthrow the government.

00:24:03.000 That's what's most of the problems in the world.

00:24:06.000 It's people being cunts.

00:24:08.000 Hold on.

00:24:09.000 Before I forget this.

00:24:10.000 What do you got?

00:24:10.000 I got rappers.

00:24:12.000 You said two things.

00:24:15.000 Earlier.

00:24:17.000 You said that was the most minor interpretation.

00:24:20.000 Yes.

00:24:21.000 And then right now you said, what you said?

00:24:24.000 Cure stupidity?

00:24:27.000 Human stupidity.

00:24:28.000 The cure for human stupidity.

00:24:30.000 Yeah, cure for human stupidity.

00:24:32.000 Yeah.

00:24:33.000 Minor interpretation.

00:24:35.000 The most minor interpretation.

00:24:36.000 That should be the title of my next special.

00:24:39.000 And Cure for Human Stupidity should be the title for your next special.

00:24:43.000 There's no cure, but we need to guide a larger percentage of people in the right direction.

00:24:50.000 And that, like, worldwide, would that be the only way we save this experiment of the human race?

00:24:59.000 The only other way is AI.

00:25:00.000 AI is a way that might save us or make us obsolete.

00:25:04.000 Yo, AI, that's some scary shit.

00:25:08.000 Because I don't know if it's real.

00:25:12.000 I saw this video.

00:25:13.000 I don't know when it was shot or how recent or not recent it is.

00:25:18.000 I mean, all I'm watching is just Instagram reels, right?

00:25:21.000 It's a minute.

00:25:23.000 At the longest, it's like a minute long.

00:25:25.000 So this could be a minute from some movie from 2002.

00:25:30.000 Or it could have been recorded.

00:25:31.000 But there's a video supposedly that said the godfather of AI warns people about the dangers of AI.

00:25:37.000 But I'm like, why?

00:25:38.000 Like, if that's real, if whoever it was like behind AI, whatever team it was, is like, hey, but be careful with this.

00:25:47.000 It's like, why'd you make it then?

00:25:49.000 Like, I feel like they just did it to jerk themselves off.

00:25:51.000 Like a real Oppenheimer thing where he's like, now I become death destroyer of world war.

00:25:56.000 It's like, why'd you do it then?

00:25:57.000 You know what I mean?

00:25:59.000 Well, it's the same kind of thing in that you have to do it because if you don't do it, your enemy's going to do it.

00:26:03.000 If your enemy's going to hold of it, the whole world is very different.

00:26:06.000 The idea is that if America does it, America, we kind of suck in some ways.

00:26:11.000 We suck with some of the things that we do with other countries.

00:26:14.000 We suck with some of the ways we spend our taxes, but we're the best out there.

00:26:18.000 We're the best option right now.

00:26:20.000 It's the best way to run the world.

00:26:22.000 It's the best way to behave in terms of like your freedoms, having as much freedom as possible.

00:26:29.000 No countries have this combination of freedom speech, First Amendment, Second Amendment.

00:26:35.000 There's a lot of rights that we have in this country that are just different than the whole rest of the world.

00:26:40.000 I think it's the best way to do it.

00:26:41.000 And we like to think of ourselves as being the most benevolent of all the superpowers.

00:26:46.000 We're the best ones.

00:26:47.000 The other ones are evil.

00:26:48.000 They're communist.

00:26:49.000 They're run by dictators.

00:26:51.000 We're trying, like, that's why everybody's afraid of Trump being a dictator.

00:26:54.000 We don't want any dictators in this country.

00:26:56.000 So if we develop AI first, we won.

00:26:59.000 That's good.

00:27:00.000 Just like we developed the nuclear bomb, we dropped a couple of them and said, now back the fuck off.

00:27:06.000 We're done here.

00:27:07.000 We don't want to do this anymore.

00:27:08.000 And then we never did it again.

00:27:10.000 So that's good.

00:27:11.000 Now, if Germany had developed the atomic bomb first and nuked Britain and nuked America and just went on a nuking spree before we could ever develop one. 0.89

00:27:22.000 You see that?

00:27:23.000 Imagine how different the world would be.

00:27:24.000 Yeah.

00:27:26.000 You ever watch those videos, the AI videos of like two celebrities making out, it'll be like Elon Musk kissing like Brad Pitt or something or Trump.

00:27:33.000 Yeah, I've seen those.

00:27:34.000 I feel like we had to make a couple of those and then tell the world like, all right, now back the fuck off.

00:27:39.000 We did that.

00:27:40.000 Yeah.

00:27:41.000 Do you know how many times they blew up atomic bombs for tests, though, after that? 0.67

00:27:45.000 I'm learning more and more about that recently.

00:27:47.000 I'm reading this new book right now by this guy, Richard Dolan.

00:27:51.000 He's a UFO researcher.

00:27:53.000 And he's talking about one of the things that they were doing was they were doing altitude detonations.

00:27:59.000 So they were detonating these nuclear bombs 150 miles above Earth.

00:28:04.000 They did a bunch of them.

00:28:06.000 They did it like a bunch of times.

00:28:09.000 Doesn't it stay in the air?

00:28:11.000 They didn't even know.

00:28:13.000 They were just experimenting and testing.

00:28:15.000 There's a bunch of shit they did that is so wild.

00:28:18.000 Do you know like John Wayne did a movie in the Nevada desert near where the test sites were where they blew up like, I don't know how many hundreds of fucking nuclear bombs out there.

00:28:28.000 They blew up tons of nuclear bombs.

00:28:30.000 And then John Wayne just went out there and the whole cast got cancer.

00:28:34.000 The whole cast?

00:28:35.000 The whole cast got cancer.

00:28:36.000 John Wayne died of cancer.

00:28:37.000 Like a giant percentage of the people that worked on the show on that movie got cancer.

00:28:43.000 The results of that.

00:28:44.000 Imagine being on the team who's like sending the nukes into the air and you just kind of see like the clouds stay in the air.

00:28:51.000 Like, I wonder who's the first guy to be like, oh, shit.

00:28:54.000 They didn't even understand that.

00:28:55.000 No one had been, no one had been subject to large-scale radiation before.

00:29:01.000 It was a new thing, especially from a detonation.

00:29:04.000 It had never happened before.

00:29:05.000 There was no meltdowns yet.

00:29:06.000 There was no Three Mile Island or Fukushima yet.

00:29:10.000 1980 article in People Magazine reported that out of the 220 cast and crew members, 91 had contacted cancer, contracted cancer, with 46 deaths.

00:29:20.000 Led to the film being dubbed an RKO radioactive picture.

00:29:26.000 The controversy surrounding the film location and subsequent health issues has been a point of discussion and debate amongst historians and scientists.

00:29:34.000 But yeah, like the amount of bombs that they detonated.

00:29:38.000 Was it a good movie at least?

00:29:40.000 I don't think it was.

00:29:41.000 It might have been that Genghis Khan movie.

00:29:42.000 Was it the Genghis Khan movie?

00:29:44.000 Oh, it was a piece of shit.

00:29:45.000 What is that movie rated to me?

00:29:47.000 It has to be a zero.

00:29:49.000 It's so bad.

00:29:50.000 It's John Wayne playing a Mongolian, which is the craziest thing of all time. 1.00

00:29:55.000 It was the ultimate whitewashing.

00:29:57.000 He's doing Mongolian face. 0.52

00:29:59.000 And he talks like this.

00:30:01.000 10% on Rotten Tomatoes.

00:30:04.000 This is what you got cancer for, John Wayne.

00:30:06.000 I know you got cancer for the worst.

00:30:08.000 The Conqueror.

00:30:09.000 And look how hot she is. 1.00

00:30:10.000 She's like completely European looking, his girlfriend.

00:30:13.000 Like, play some of this because it's so stupid.

00:30:15.000 Yeah.

00:30:17.000 Fall off a horse.

00:30:18.000 Look how hot she is. 1.00

00:30:19.000 Woo.

00:30:20.000 She's all impressed by him.

00:30:21.000 just took her clothes off.

00:30:22.000 Oh.

00:30:25.000 Under his heel, the cowering nations.

00:30:29.000 Look how bad this is.

00:30:51.000 Oh, shit.

00:30:54.000 Bro, I mean, come on.

00:30:55.000 This is the dumbest movie ever to gain John Wayne cancer.

00:30:58.000 Bro.

00:30:59.000 It's so bad.

00:31:00.000 Like, how bad is that movie?

00:31:02.000 Women always talk about how, like, I was reading this article where they were trying to trash F1 and the movie? 1.00

00:31:10.000 Yeah.

00:31:10.000 And they were like, oh, another movie where the only woman working, because like the girl in the movie, she's like the first, what is she?

00:31:21.000 Like the team director or something for an F1 team, like first woman, whatever.

00:31:25.000 It's like, and she doesn't, you know, like, she doesn't level up until Brad Pitt unlocks her potential.

00:31:31.000 Like, oh, like, we need a man for that. 0.83

00:31:34.000 But it's like, bro, women have the best roles in movies.

00:31:37.000 Not in that movie.

00:31:39.000 I mean, yeah, she got it.

00:31:40.000 She got hit pretty hard.

00:31:41.000 But if you think about it, this is a movie about, like, oh, Genghis Khan conquering so much, but the best thing he conquered was the woman. 0.91

00:31:48.000 Like, really?

00:31:49.000 You know what I mean?

00:31:50.000 Like, the woman's always like the main prize of the movie. 1.00

00:31:54.000 Well, throughout history, that's one of the things that people did go to war for.

00:31:58.000 Women? 1.00

00:31:59.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:32:00.000 Nobody went to war for some dude's butt. 1.00

00:32:04.000 A lot of.

00:32:06.000 I feel like a lot of war could have been prevented then if like porn had just came around way sooner.

00:32:11.000 No, because porn's out now and there's still plenty of war.

00:32:14.000 That's true.

00:32:15.000 So what are they going to war for now?

00:32:17.000 Resources.

00:32:18.000 All it is is like tricking people, tricking people into doing something for you.

00:32:22.000 Women and resources, man. 1.00

00:32:24.000 Women and resources. 1.00

00:32:25.000 When are we going to learn?

00:32:26.000 It's just money, man.

00:32:28.000 There's enough women and resources for everybody. 1.00

00:32:30.000 There's not, though.

00:32:31.000 Not?

00:32:32.000 There's at least enough women. 1.00

00:32:35.000 Yeah, but they're not the same.

00:32:36.000 Here's the thing.

00:32:37.000 For women, I think the number is women are only attracted to 20% of the men.

00:32:44.000 So like 100% of the women out there are only attracted to 20% of the men.

00:32:49.000 That kind of makes it fun, you know?

00:32:51.000 You got to hope you're in the 20%.

00:32:53.000 Yeah, but if you're not, you're fucked.

00:32:54.000 If you're not, you just go to war.

00:32:55.000 And there's more of those dudes that are in the 80% now than ever in history that we know of, right?

00:33:02.000 Like, isn't there, like, when they do the studies of the amount of people right now currently that are celibate, that are not having any sex at all, and not by their own decision, not by their choice.

00:33:15.000 I think they're higher now than they've been in a long time.

00:33:19.000 People are going celibate?

00:33:20.000 On accident.

00:33:23.000 I just know that they're unfuckable.

00:33:24.000 Unintentional.

00:33:25.000 Nobody wants to fuck them. 0.64

00:33:26.000 Celibacy.

00:33:27.000 That's real, man.

00:33:28.000 That's like a real problem.

00:33:29.000 A bunch of people just sitting at home and watching TV all day and ordering DoorDash.

00:33:35.000 I think you got to like split your time up.

00:33:37.000 You know what I mean?

00:33:38.000 I think celibacy could be good for like a week or two and then you got to be like, all right, no more DoorDash.

00:33:45.000 Let's get out there.

00:33:46.000 Just get out there.

00:33:47.000 Stop being a pussy. 1.00

00:33:48.000 Get married or, you know, get into relationships, have an affair.

00:33:53.000 Well, don't be just jerking off all day.

00:33:55.000 That's crazy.

00:33:56.000 I actually want to write a self-help book, but not like a real one, like maybe like a joke one, yeah?

00:34:01.000 Yeah.

00:34:02.000 But something that I don't think my stand-up comedy would ever get me canceled, but I think maybe like a book.

00:34:07.000 But I want to call it something like, you're not autistic.

00:34:11.000 You're just 25 and like an asshole or something like that.

00:34:14.000 And then it's a whole book.

00:34:15.000 Just tell people, like, get off your ass, man.

00:34:17.000 Like, stop making excuses.

00:34:18.000 What do you do for actual autistic people that read that book, though?

00:34:21.000 They're like, hey, he says I'm not autistic.

00:34:24.000 I'll be like, you're not autistic then. 0.99

00:34:26.000 Believe what you want.

00:34:27.000 How many people do you think are autistic?

00:34:28.000 What percentage?

00:34:30.000 I don't know.

00:34:31.000 I feel like probably a lot, but I think there's like, there's Yeah, I think it's like, I think it's like being like, like, what do you call it?

00:34:42.000 Like Apache or whatever?

00:34:44.000 Or like Cherokee? 0.94

00:34:45.000 Where you're just like, oh, yeah, I'm like one-eighth.

00:34:48.000 Yeah.

00:34:50.000 I'm one eighth autistic.

00:34:51.000 I'm kind of psychic.

00:34:51.000 Yeah.

00:34:53.000 Yeah.

00:34:53.000 Like, so I think if you come up on the spectrum, it doesn't mean you're like enough.

00:34:58.000 Yeah.

00:34:58.000 Full-blown.

00:34:59.000 Like, you've seen people with like full-blown autism and the struggles they have to go through in life.

00:35:03.000 Like, somebody has to be in their life.

00:35:05.000 You know what I mean?

00:35:06.000 Like, to.

00:35:07.000 Yeah, for non-verbal people, yeah.

00:35:08.000 Or like, just whatever.

00:35:08.000 Yeah.

00:35:10.000 But you can't, like, be a. 0.97

00:35:14.000 You can't just like wake up, you know, play video games, go do stuff on your own, and then, like, use autism as an excuse for other stuff you don't want to do.

00:35:24.000 Like, oh, I didn't want to shake that guy's hand because I'm just like autistic. 1.00

00:35:27.000 Like, yeah.

00:35:28.000 Like, motherfucker, just look at the person in the face.

00:35:30.000 Don't look them in the eyes.

00:35:31.000 Just look them in the face or something.

00:35:32.000 Just don't be rude.

00:35:33.000 Like, I feel like a lot.

00:35:34.000 I feel like a lot of, and maybe it's because the way I grew up, but like, if I try to use autism as an excuse to get out of doing stuff, I think I just would have got smacked in the back of the head.

00:35:43.000 I think they would have smacked the autism out of me.

00:35:45.000 You know what I mean?

00:35:46.000 The one-eighth at least.

00:35:47.000 I don't think I have any autism in me.

00:35:49.000 No?

00:35:50.000 Unfortunately.

00:35:51.000 Why do you say unfortunately?

00:35:52.000 Maybe it helped with math.

00:35:54.000 Help with numbers.

00:35:55.000 Jamie?

00:35:56.000 Like, Rainman?

00:35:57.000 I think Jamie's autistic.

00:35:59.000 How does he, how does he, maybe not autistic, maybe just knows how your brain works. 0.59

00:36:04.000 How does he know to highlight the exact sentences you should read?

00:36:08.000 What's the difference between because he's smart?

00:36:10.000 What's the difference between, and he's been doing this forever.

00:36:12.000 What's the difference between Asperger's and autism?

00:36:14.000 Like the technical difference?

00:36:18.000 Because they're kind of interchangeable, right?

00:36:20.000 Are they both like communication type?

00:36:23.000 A lot of times people say the spectrum.

00:36:25.000 They call it the spectrum.

00:36:26.000 Like, oh, it's on the spectrum.

00:36:28.000 Oh, okay.

00:36:29.000 Okay.

00:36:29.000 Where?

00:36:30.000 Spectrum could be anywhere.

00:36:32.000 Like, you could be like, you get a touch, just a touch of the tism, you know?

00:36:36.000 Or you could be like full-blown.

00:36:38.000 I don't know if this is official, but here's an explanation.

00:36:40.000 Key characters.

00:36:41.000 All right.

00:36:42.000 In autism, significant delays in language, maybe nonverbal or have limited speech.

00:36:48.000 Asperger is typically no language delay, advanced vocabulary for age.

00:36:53.000 Interesting.

00:36:54.000 Autism varies widely from intellectual disability to above average intelligence.

00:36:59.000 And then Asperger is usually average to above average intelligence.

00:37:04.000 Autism, social interaction difficulties may show less interest in engagement.

00:37:10.000 And then Asperger's desires social interaction but struggles with social cues and nonverbal communication.

00:37:16.000 So it seems like Asperger's is like the upgraded autism.

00:37:22.000 It's like autism is too risky.

00:37:24.000 You could, you know, you get a kid who's nonverbal, but go with Asperger's, you might get a genius. 1.00

00:37:29.000 Everybody wants autism, though.

00:37:31.000 Well, I think they really would want Asperger's if you showed it to them.

00:37:34.000 It's like Seattle if they knew Niagara.

00:37:36.000 Yeah, if they knew.

00:37:37.000 Yeah, if they knew.

00:37:38.000 I think people will use autism as like a, oh, look, I'm not average.

00:37:42.000 I'm actually high-functioning autism.

00:37:46.000 Like, I'm actually a genius in this class.

00:37:49.000 Right.

00:37:50.000 People definitely use, they love to be a victim of something.

00:37:53.000 Yeah.

00:37:53.000 They love to have some sort of an ailment that you don't know about.

00:37:56.000 You know, people love that.

00:37:59.000 I'm not like that.

00:38:00.000 You know, I'm diabetic.

00:38:01.000 I never tell people.

00:38:02.000 Are you full-blown diabetics?

00:38:04.000 Full-blown.

00:38:04.000 Type one?

00:38:06.000 Not like with the food stuff?

00:38:07.000 Yeah, type one.

00:38:09.000 So you're born with it.

00:38:10.000 No.

00:38:11.000 I got it when I was like six.

00:38:13.000 Really?

00:38:13.000 Yeah.

00:38:14.000 Type one when you're six.

00:38:15.000 That's crazy.

00:38:16.000 Yeah.

00:38:17.000 You know, they just cured type one diabetes in a woman with stem cells.

00:38:21.000 What?

00:38:22.000 It was the first of its kind.

00:38:22.000 Yeah.

00:38:24.000 Was it China that did this?

00:38:26.000 See if you can find it, Jamie.

00:38:29.000 But yeah, you know, they're using stem cells to try to treat all sorts of different things.

00:38:33.000 And one of the things that they were really successful was with this lady they cured for the first time ever type one diabetes.

00:38:40.000 How do they give you the stem cells?

00:38:42.000 Good question.

00:38:42.000 Did you put it in a pipe?

00:38:43.000 No.

00:38:44.000 I think they inject it into you.

00:38:46.000 That's not too bad.

00:38:47.000 But if this, I mean, you might not have to take insulin.

00:38:50.000 Do you take insulin right now?

00:38:52.000 Yeah.

00:38:52.000 You might not have to take insulin.

00:38:54.000 They might be able to fix you.

00:38:55.000 How do I get these stem cells?

00:38:56.000 Let's see what it says.

00:38:57.000 What is the world's first stem cell therapy reverses diabetes?

00:39:03.000 So where was it from?

00:39:05.000 Where did it happen?

00:39:08.000 Groundbreaking title.

00:39:09.000 In Peking University.

00:39:11.000 They took cells from three people with type 1 diabetes and reverted them to pluripotent state, meaning they could develop into any type of cell.

00:39:19.000 This technique originally developed by Shinya Yamanaka at Kyoto University nearly 20 years ago was modified by Deng's team to use small molecules instead of proteins, allowing for better control.

00:39:32.000 They used these chemically reprogrammed stem cells to create 3D clusters of insulin-producing isolates, which were tested for safety in animals.

00:39:42.000 In June of 2023, the team transplanted about 1.5 million isolates into a woman's abdominal muscles.

00:39:48.000 A new approach, as most isolate transplants are done in the liver, by placing the cells in the abdomen.

00:39:54.000 They could monitor them with an MRI and remove them if necessary.

00:39:57.000 The operation took less than 30 minutes.

00:40:00.000 Two and a half months after her transplant, the woman with type 1 diabetes started producing enough insulin on her own, and she has continued to do so for over a year.

00:40:09.000 How about that?

00:40:11.000 Her blood sugar levels are stable 98% of the time, eliminating dangerous spikes and drops.

00:40:17.000 That's crazy.

00:40:18.000 What?

00:40:19.000 This was in China?

00:40:20.000 I believe so.

00:40:21.000 Badass.

00:40:23.000 What if I met this doctor?

00:40:24.000 He was like, all right, I'll do the operation on you, but you have to say my name correctly the first time.

00:40:30.000 Yamanaka Shiny.

00:40:31.000 Shamoya? 0.93

00:40:32.000 Practice it.

00:40:33.000 I would say practice it if you want to not have diabetes.

00:40:36.000 What kind of question is that?

00:40:40.000 They might be able to hook you up.

00:40:42.000 What do you think?

00:40:42.000 All right.

00:40:43.000 I don't know.

00:40:44.000 How do I like?

00:40:45.000 How do you even start that process?

00:40:46.000 You just go to China?

00:40:48.000 Yeah, you got to go to China right now.

00:40:49.000 Get out of here.

00:40:50.000 I get on a plane.

00:40:52.000 I got to finish this press tour.

00:40:54.000 I'll cure diabetes after.

00:40:56.000 I bet it's going to be mainstream within a few years.

00:41:00.000 If that worked and that's reproducible.

00:41:03.000 Dude, I want to go to China now for real.

00:41:06.000 It'll probably be in America too.

00:41:08.000 Because what they're saying, the way they're laying it out, it sounds like there's a paper on it.

00:41:12.000 And that thing that was that was that a published paper?

00:41:15.000 Yeah, it's called VX880.

00:41:22.000 I can't say that.

00:41:23.000 I guess I should probably wait until they do a few more patients, right?

00:41:26.000 It's like PS5s, like you want to let the first round go out first with the ones with the bugs and stuff.

00:41:31.000 I would go right in there.

00:41:31.000 Nah, fuck it.

00:41:33.000 Let's go.

00:41:34.000 Let's see.

00:41:34.000 Let's see if you can fix me.

00:41:36.000 Yeah.

00:41:36.000 You don't deal with shooting insulin all the time.

00:41:38.000 That's annoying.

00:41:39.000 How often do you have to do it?

00:41:41.000 And I usually eat about three times a day.

00:41:41.000 Before a meal.

00:41:44.000 Oh, so you have to give yourself three injections a day.

00:41:46.000 Yeah.

00:41:46.000 That's annoying.

00:41:47.000 And since you were six, you've been doing that?

00:41:49.000 Wow.

00:41:49.000 Yeah.

00:41:50.000 Yeah.

00:41:52.000 I'm a little tired of it.

00:41:53.000 Does it, yeah, this might be it, man.

00:41:55.000 This might be able to fix you.

00:41:57.000 What if I miss the shots, though?

00:41:58.000 Like, here's a trial I think they've done in the U.S. with 12 people.

00:42:03.000 Oh, they did a trial with 12 people.

00:42:07.000 Demonstrated engraftment with glucose-responsive endogenous endogenos and dodge.

00:42:16.000 Indigenous.

00:42:17.000 Why can't I say endogenous?

00:42:19.000 Like, how did I not read that correctly?

00:42:21.000 Endogenous C-peptide production, which is durable through one year of follow-up.

00:42:26.000 Wow.

00:42:27.000 What does that mean?

00:42:28.000 That means a year of follow-up, it was still working.

00:42:31.000 Had a reduction in exogenous insulin use, meaning reduction in daily insulin use by 92%.

00:42:38.000 So they still had to take a little bit of insulin sometimes.

00:42:41.000 So I bet this is something that you could probably do more than one time.

00:42:46.000 These were all off of a one dose they got.

00:42:48.000 One confusion.

00:42:50.000 So if a full dose and then you have a complete reduction in insulin reduction.

00:42:57.000 So it says 83% of them no longer required insulin at month 12.

00:43:01.000 That's nuts.

00:43:03.000 83% of all the people they tested didn't require insulin a year later.

00:43:08.000 That's amazing.

00:43:09.000 You got to get in on that, dog.

00:43:11.000 Yeah, but like, I don't even know who to talk to.

00:43:13.000 We'll find out.

00:43:14.000 We'll ask afterwards.

00:43:16.000 For real.

00:43:16.000 All right.

00:43:17.000 You should probably find out.

00:43:18.000 Like, maybe there's another trial they're doing.

00:43:20.000 For real, too?

00:43:21.000 Yeah, I would get involved in that trial.

00:43:23.000 That seems like totally reasonable.

00:43:26.000 Yeah.

00:43:26.000 Unless I would, well, I talk to a scientist first.

00:43:29.000 I'd like to talk to some people that are concerned about things.

00:43:29.000 I don't know.

00:43:33.000 Yeah, you always talk to the person who's like against the plan.

00:43:36.000 Yeah, there's always some side effect that you don't take into consideration.

00:43:39.000 Like, oh.

00:43:40.000 Well, if you do that, here's the problem.

00:43:42.000 It also does this.

00:43:43.000 You're like, oh, no.

00:43:44.000 Yeah.

00:43:44.000 I don't know.

00:43:45.000 I don't know.

00:43:46.000 But what if I don't even like, what if I suck after I'm cured?

00:43:49.000 What are you talking about, Ralph?

00:43:50.000 What if we just change?

00:43:50.000 What are you saying?

00:43:51.000 What are you saying?

00:43:52.000 What if I just don't know how to act afterwards, you know?

00:43:56.000 Honestly, living without diabetes, that would go to my head so fast.

00:44:00.000 You'd get cocky?

00:44:01.000 Yeah.

00:44:01.000 I drop people out of my life.

00:44:03.000 What the fuck I need you for?

00:44:04.000 I'm healthy.

00:44:07.000 You'd be fine.

00:44:07.000 I heard people say things like that before.

00:44:09.000 Like, if I fix this, maybe I won't be funny anymore.

00:44:13.000 Or if I fix this, maybe my life won't be good anymore.

00:44:16.000 Nah, honestly, I could use something life-changing.

00:44:18.000 I got like writers blocked real bad right now.

00:44:21.000 Yeah.

00:44:23.000 I'm like unmotivated with new stand-ups.

00:44:26.000 I was reading that book you got out there.

00:44:27.000 I had never.

00:44:28.000 War of Art?

00:44:29.000 No, no, no, no.

00:44:30.000 Oh, the Hunter S. Thompson book?

00:44:31.000 Yeah.

00:44:32.000 Hunter S. Thompson was a dude or that was a chick. 0.89

00:44:36.000 You don't know who Hunter S. Thompson is?

00:44:37.000 Nah, but I kind of have heard of Thompson's work through.

00:44:42.000 I read in the, like, before the book actually starts, it's like other books by Hunter S. Thompson.

00:44:47.000 Yeah.

00:44:48.000 Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

00:44:48.000 And.

00:44:50.000 And what is it, Rum Diary or something?

00:44:50.000 Yeah.

00:44:52.000 So it's a dude.

00:44:53.000 Yeah.

00:44:54.000 Yeah, that dude's good.

00:44:54.000 Yeah.

00:45:00.000 What did you take before you came here?

00:45:02.000 Nothing.

00:45:03.000 Something happened.

00:45:03.000 You're on sleeping pills or something?

00:45:04.000 What the fuck is going on?

00:45:06.000 I'm sober.

00:45:06.000 Nah, man.

00:45:07.000 I just woke up and came here.

00:45:09.000 Yeah, Hunter S. Thompson's a very famous writer.

00:45:11.000 From the counterculture movement.

00:45:13.000 He wrote this paragraph in that book, man.

00:45:16.000 That's Johnny Jepp.

00:45:17.000 He played him in that movie.

00:45:19.000 Yeah, good old Johnny Depp, man.

00:45:21.000 That's a fun fucking movie.

00:45:22.000 I don't know if you've ever seen it.

00:45:23.000 I've seen clothing in Las Vegas.

00:45:25.000 It's fucking great.

00:45:26.000 It's a great movie.

00:45:27.000 And the book is really great, too.

00:45:28.000 He was a fascinating guy, like probably one of my, not probably, one of my favorite authors ever.

00:45:35.000 That book that's out there, you said it's a first edition.

00:45:38.000 It's like diaries of his, right?

00:45:38.000 Yeah.

00:45:40.000 Like he just kind of wrote his thoughts and like what he did throughout that day.

00:45:45.000 Charles Bukowski has a book like that.

00:45:48.000 What is it?

00:45:48.000 What is it called?

00:45:49.000 Like The Captain is Out to Lunch.

00:45:51.000 Something like that, right?

00:45:53.000 Yeah.

00:45:53.000 Felipe Esparza put me onto that book.

00:45:55.000 I read and I did his podcast.

00:45:58.000 He has a couple of Charles Bukowski books in his little library.

00:46:02.000 Oh, no shit.

00:46:02.000 Yeah.

00:46:03.000 Shout out to Felipe.

00:46:04.000 I love that dude.

00:46:04.000 Yeah, that dude's so talented.

00:46:06.000 I've been friends with him forever.

00:46:07.000 The captain is out to lunch and the sailors have taken over the ship, Charles Bukowski.

00:46:11.000 Yeah, so it's kind of like that Hunter S. Thompson book.

00:46:14.000 And both of those, I like both of those books a lot.

00:46:17.000 I read like half of that one.

00:46:19.000 I'm going to buy that one.

00:46:21.000 But I like what Hunter S. Thompson said because he talks about being in this hotel room.

00:46:28.000 And he says, living on pills, phone calls unmade, people unseen, pages unwritten, money unmade, pressure piling up all around to make some kind of breakthrough and get moving again.

00:46:40.000 Get the gun off the rails, finish something, croak this awful habit of not ever getting to the end of anything.

00:46:47.000 Yeah.

00:46:48.000 Dude, that's man.

00:46:50.000 I feel like I'm there right now.

00:46:51.000 Yeah.

00:46:52.000 But I don't know if I care as much as he did because he at least wrote about it.

00:46:56.000 And I've just kind of been like, ah, I'll get to it.

00:46:58.000 Well, you're a lot younger, first of all.

00:47:00.000 And second of all, like, he was already a successful writer that was trying to get the fire stoked.

00:47:07.000 You know, that's this thing.

00:47:09.000 This is a great book.

00:47:11.000 You can keep this.

00:47:13.000 Oh, that's not it.

00:47:14.000 Sorry.

00:47:16.000 I thought that was the war of art.

00:47:17.000 We have piles of them.

00:47:18.000 Oh, yeah.

00:47:18.000 I saw it out there.

00:47:20.000 Stephen Pressfield gave me a whole box of them.

00:47:22.000 I'll give you a copy when we leave.

00:47:24.000 That's a book that will help you a lot because it's basically just about that.

00:47:28.000 That book is just about overcoming this resistance that people have to work.

00:47:34.000 It's hard.

00:47:34.000 It's hard to make yourself work.

00:47:36.000 It is.

00:47:37.000 Well, I have this thing where I can't help but to obsess on a subject and lose a lot of interest in another subject or other subjects.

00:47:51.000 But like I, yeah, I choose what I like or whatever.

00:47:54.000 You know what I mean?

00:47:55.000 Yeah.

00:47:55.000 But like to a degree.

00:47:56.000 That makes sense.

00:47:57.000 So like, it's like chasing butterflies.

00:48:00.000 Like sometimes it's like that yellow butterfly.

00:48:03.000 Like I just got to keep fucking fucking with this butterfly right here.

00:48:06.000 And there's so many other butterflies around.

00:48:08.000 But then sometimes it's the blue one.

00:48:09.000 So like comedy is like the blue butterfly and then like other shit is like other butterflies.

00:48:14.000 I started an automotive YouTube channel with my buddy.

00:48:16.000 Oh, okay.

00:48:17.000 Yeah.

00:48:17.000 It's not super big, but it's so fun.

00:48:20.000 And it's just like little challenges that I find in it.

00:48:23.000 You know, like learn this, learn how to do that, learn how to do this.

00:48:26.000 And the automotive in terms of like repairing stuff?

00:48:29.000 Yeah, we put, we got a 1989 240SX.

00:48:32.000 It's my buddy's car.

00:48:33.000 He bought it for like 600 bucks.

00:48:35.000 And he wants to put an LS in it, but before putting the LS in it, he wanted to blow up the original motor.

00:48:42.000 So we put Nitrous and Turbo on it without tuning it.

00:48:45.000 So there's no computer telling it, like, how to do it safely or, like, efficiently.

00:48:51.000 So it's just, like...

00:48:54.000 And we didn't blow up the motor.

00:48:55.000 We blew up the coupler for the turbo, though.

00:48:58.000 And the motor sucks now.

00:48:59.000 It won't stay on.

00:49:00.000 So this is a Nissan?

00:49:01.000 Yeah, an 89 Nissan 240.

00:49:04.000 Yeah, it's a horrible thing.

00:49:04.000 Oh, wow.

00:49:06.000 Why'd you choose that year?

00:49:08.000 That's my friend's car.

00:49:09.000 He just got laid down?

00:49:11.000 Yeah.

00:49:11.000 Everything we find is pretty much Facebook Marketplace.

00:49:14.000 Oh, okay.

00:49:14.000 And so then you're going to drop an LS into that?

00:49:17.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:49:18.000 Maybe.

00:49:19.000 Look, that's the channel.

00:49:20.000 Orme Le Bean.

00:49:21.000 Oh, nice.

00:49:22.000 Yeah.

00:49:22.000 We chose that name because, like, I feel like Formula One is like, you know, it's like pinnacle of racing, and they have all these such intelligent engineers working on these cars and they make these great motors and stuff.

00:49:33.000 And I feel like this is the exact opposite.

00:49:34.000 Oh, dude, you're doing some real cars.

00:49:36.000 ULS swapped an R34 GTR.

00:49:39.000 That's more like clickbait.

00:49:41.000 It's just sitting in the car.

00:49:42.000 We didn't hook it up or not.

00:49:43.000 We had to take that car to get aligned.

00:49:45.000 Click on that.

00:49:46.000 Click on that.

00:49:47.000 Those skylines are legendary cars.

00:49:50.000 Those are legendary.

00:49:51.000 Oh, yeah.

00:49:52.000 He got a deal on that car.

00:49:52.000 He got that.

00:49:53.000 They're hard to get, man.

00:49:55.000 They couldn't import them into the United States until 25 years after the production, right?

00:50:02.000 So people have done shit like that before.

00:50:05.000 I went down a rabbit hole the other day of Skyline, like mods and all the different things that people have done to Skylines.

00:50:12.000 This is one dude.

00:50:13.000 He has this insane metallic, deep purple, like a dark purple.

00:50:19.000 Yeah, Midnight Purple 3, probably.

00:50:22.000 Bro, it is so beautiful.

00:50:26.000 It's like a big, it's like a Cardinal Syndo to put an LS in a Skyline.

00:50:30.000 Oh, right.

00:50:30.000 You want to use a Japanese engine.

00:50:32.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:50:32.000 The RB, it's the original Skyline motor.

00:50:34.000 So that's an R34 GTT.

00:50:37.000 So that comes with the RB25.

00:50:39.000 The GTR, which is like the super famous and super expensive one, comes with the RB26.

00:50:45.000 So you really know your shit, man.

00:50:46.000 I'm learning.

00:50:47.000 I have an R35.

00:50:48.000 I have a Nismo.

00:50:50.000 Oh, yeah.

00:50:50.000 You told me one time, I think.

00:50:51.000 Ooh, I love it.

00:50:52.000 One guy tried to sell me one of those, but I couldn't do it.

00:50:54.000 It was too expensive.

00:50:55.000 It was out of my price range.

00:50:57.000 I have an R35 too, but not an ISMO.

00:50:59.000 Well, the thing about R35s is you could turn it into exactly what an ISMO is. 0.78

00:51:03.000 Yeah.

00:51:04.000 I mean, everything is moddable.

00:51:06.000 I mean, these cars have been around for so long in the community of modders for both them and a lot of JDM vehicles like Supras, like the 240, 240 Zs, the old ones.

00:51:21.000 There's a whole company now that is in the UK that takes two Nissan Dotson, back when it was Dotson, Dotson 240s, and turns them into these fucking sick streamlined sports cars with like wider tires, much more horsepower, super lightweight.

00:51:40.000 Just like to do that.

00:51:41.000 Oh, it's so exciting.

00:51:43.000 I love Japanese sports cars because you get the best of both worlds.

00:51:48.000 You get performance and reliability.

00:51:51.000 Like if you get like a GTR, those are like one of the most reliable cars you can buy and it's ridiculously fast.

00:51:59.000 That's my shit right there, son.

00:52:02.000 That's what I have.

00:52:03.000 Do you ever take it to a track?

00:52:05.000 I have not taken the GTR to a track.

00:52:07.000 You got a Nismo.

00:52:08.000 You got to take it to a track.

00:52:10.000 I know, but I've only been to a track a few times.

00:52:12.000 And the last time I went was a Corvette thing.

00:52:15.000 I went with them.

00:52:17.000 We're actually going to build a track, rather, a studio on the track.

00:52:21.000 That's our next move.

00:52:22.000 Yeah.

00:52:23.000 We're going to build a studio at Coda.

00:52:26.000 So we're going to have two studios.

00:52:27.000 We're going to have a regular studio here, and then we're going to have a studio at the Circuit of the Americas.

00:52:31.000 Let's fucking. 0.95

00:52:32.000 So we're going to be able to take people around the track and then do a podcast right afterwards.

00:52:38.000 Hey, hire me as a driver.

00:52:40.000 Can you drive?

00:52:40.000 Are you good?

00:52:41.000 I do okay.

00:52:42.000 I got the fastest lap time at Speed Vegas.

00:52:44.000 You ever been there?

00:52:45.000 Yeah.

00:52:45.000 Did you really?

00:52:46.000 The fastest?

00:52:46.000 Yeah, for like a few hours, and then some dude beat me.

00:52:49.000 What were we driving?

00:52:50.000 Porsche GT3RS.

00:52:52.000 Oh, okay.

00:52:53.000 I was competing against my co-host on the channel there, my buddy Luis.

00:52:57.000 He's a username underscore AF on Instagram.

00:53:00.000 Horrible username.

00:53:01.000 But anyway, we both got the same car, the Porsche, to like compare lap times.

00:53:06.000 But I had them beat by like eight seconds or something like that.

00:53:06.000 Oh, no.

00:53:10.000 Well, he probably doesn't know how to drive it.

00:53:11.000 Also, those cars get a little scary.

00:53:13.000 The rear engine.

00:53:15.000 I mean, you have an instructor just telling you what to do.

00:53:17.000 But I didn't.

00:53:18.000 You hit the gas harder.

00:53:20.000 Yeah, I broke a little later.

00:53:21.000 Yeah.

00:53:22.000 The gas a little harder.

00:53:22.000 I almost spun out, but I wanted to find like the limit to the car.

00:53:27.000 But yeah, I want my second lap.

00:53:29.000 I almost spun the car out, but I was able to keep it.

00:53:33.000 Yeah, those cars are just designed entirely for racing.

00:53:36.000 That's a crazy car that you can get.

00:53:37.000 A race car for the street.

00:53:39.000 When we went the last time we went to Coda, we went for Corvette.

00:53:43.000 So Corvette has the new ZR1.

00:53:47.000 It holds the record, right?

00:53:48.000 Yes.

00:53:49.000 At what track was it?

00:53:50.000 Nürbigram.

00:53:51.000 It holds the record in basically every single track that it's ever entered into.

00:53:55.000 Yeah, it's 1,000 horsepower from the factory.

00:53:55.000 Holy shit.

00:53:59.000 And then the record at Nurbigring that they did, which is the record only for American cars, it's for the ZR-1X.

00:54:09.000 I believe the time is 6 minutes, 49 seconds, which is insanely fast.

00:54:15.000 And it wasn't driven by a professional driver.

00:54:17.000 It was driven by the engineer.

00:54:18.000 Yes.

00:54:19.000 The engineer broke the American lap time record.

00:54:22.000 So everyone else is using Formula One drivers, using the sickest drivers on earth to get the most amount of time.

00:54:28.000 So a professional driver that I follow, this guy, I forget his last name, Misha something or another, on YouTube, he analyzed the footage and he said, you could shave 10 seconds off this.

00:54:39.000 Yeah.

00:54:40.000 Which is crazy.

00:54:42.000 Oh, here it goes.

00:54:43.000 Pro driver says Corvette 01 could have gone 10 seconds faster at Nurbig Ring.

00:54:46.000 Who is it that said that?

00:54:48.000 Is it more than one pro driver said that?

00:54:49.000 No, Misha.

00:54:50.000 This guy.

00:54:51.000 This guy's great.

00:54:52.000 I follow his.

00:54:53.000 Oh, I follow him.

00:54:54.000 Yes.

00:54:54.000 What is his channel called?

00:54:55.000 Let's give him a shout out, young Jamie.

00:54:58.000 10 seconds in the world of racing.

00:55:00.000 That's like a lot.

00:55:01.000 That's a lot.

00:55:03.000 So it's Misha M-I-S-H-A. 0.93

00:55:06.000 And the last name, I don't know how to pronounce it, is C-H-R-O-U-D-I-N. 0.99

00:55:12.000 Sharudin.

00:55:13.000 How would you say that?

00:55:15.000 Sharardin? 0.91

00:55:15.000 Sharudin. 0.91

00:55:16.000 Sharudin.

00:55:18.000 Anyway, cool guy, great channel.

00:55:20.000 It's dope. 0.55

00:55:21.000 So he analyzed it, and he drives that track all the time.

00:55:25.000 Like his whole rides at that track, right?

00:55:27.000 And he's a nasty driver.

00:55:29.000 He drives wicked.

00:55:30.000 He looks so calm, too.

00:55:30.000 It's funny.

00:55:31.000 Oh, yeah.

00:55:32.000 He's just holling ass.

00:55:33.000 But he knows that track like the back of his hand.

00:55:35.000 He's always at the Nurbig ring.

00:55:37.000 He does track days on there all the time.

00:55:39.000 So he drives a whole bunch of crazy cars, including GTRs, all kinds of crazy shit, different things that people have put together and modded.

00:55:49.000 So it says with someone more comfortable with the car, he's like a sub six minute and 40 second time, which is what they achieved.

00:55:56.000 It was relatively easy and possible, he would say.

00:55:59.000 He said maybe they've already done a lap with a pro driver and will release later when they find it necessary.

00:56:04.000 So what Corvette likes to do, though, they like to do their lap times with the people who built the car because they feel like the people who built the car are like intimately connected.

00:56:15.000 Instead of farming it off to some Formula One psychopath, get the actual guys who designed and engineered the car.

00:56:22.000 And if these guys are breaking records, they're great drivers.

00:56:25.000 Don't get me wrong.

00:56:26.000 I drove with one of them when we were at Coda.

00:56:29.000 Oh, shit.

00:56:30.000 Yeah, and I drove the car.

00:56:31.000 I drove that ZR-1.

00:56:32.000 It's the best car I've ever driven in my life.

00:56:34.000 I've driven a lot of cars.

00:56:34.000 Yeah.

00:56:35.000 Takes corners badass.

00:56:36.000 It's insane.

00:56:38.000 It's insane.

00:56:40.000 It's got the power like an electric car.

00:56:42.000 The acceleration is bananas.

00:56:44.000 It's nuts.

00:56:45.000 It's zero to 60 in under two seconds.

00:56:47.000 It fucking flies.

00:56:50.000 It has massive downforce, huge wheels, sticky tires.

00:56:54.000 And you're going around these corners like you can't believe the amount of grip it has and the stability of it, the balance of it.

00:57:01.000 What kind of tires do they put on those? 0.96

00:57:03.000 They're cup tires.

00:57:04.000 I don't know what the exact, I believe they're, I don't want to say, but I think they're Michelin Cups.

00:57:10.000 I wish I knew how to like fabricate my own suspension for cars.

00:57:14.000 Really?

00:57:14.000 You want to do all that?

00:57:16.000 Yeah, I want to learn.

00:57:17.000 I don't mean, I don't want to make my own suspension.

00:57:19.000 I kind of, I mean, maybe one day, I don't know.

00:57:21.000 I do want to learn how to fabricate other parts, easier parts, but I feel like all the cars I buy, that's like the most important thing to me is like handling.

00:57:32.000 Oh, yeah.

00:57:33.000 I bought a shout out to this dude.

00:57:36.000 I'm going to shout out his page.

00:57:37.000 He's got some cool stuff on YouTube.

00:57:39.000 Krusty, what is it?

00:57:42.000 Krusty Classics Garage.

00:57:43.000 Let me make sure I'm getting that right.

00:57:46.000 He sold me a 1973 Plymouth Barracuda, but it has a front end from a 71 Barracuda.

00:57:54.000 Oh, the nice front end.

00:57:55.000 Four headlights.

00:57:56.000 Yeah.

00:57:56.000 That's the front end.

00:57:57.000 That was bad.

00:57:58.000 That's the one.

00:57:59.000 That's the one.

00:58:00.000 I have a 70.

00:58:01.000 He LS swapped it.

00:58:02.000 Look, that's the one.

00:58:03.000 That's the one I bought.

00:58:05.000 I love that car.

00:58:06.000 But that looks like a 70.

00:58:07.000 Oh, that's the original front end.

00:58:09.000 That's the original front end before they swapped it out.

00:58:11.000 No, no, no.

00:58:11.000 That's the 73.

00:58:13.000 71 front end.

00:58:14.000 It looks like...

00:58:16.000 Because it only has one headline on each side.

00:58:18.000 Oh, no, no, no, no, you're right.

00:58:19.000 I think that's a 73.

00:58:20.000 Yeah, they wrecked into him.

00:58:22.000 He had to swap it.

00:58:23.000 Oh, I see.

00:58:24.000 I see.

00:58:24.000 Yeah.

00:58:25.000 My mom had a 71 when I was a kid.

00:58:27.000 What?

00:58:27.000 Yeah.

00:58:28.000 Dude, your mom was kicking ass. 1.00

00:58:30.000 Yeah, it was pretty dope.

00:58:31.000 Dope car.

00:58:32.000 I learned how to drive on it.

00:58:33.000 That car, he LS swapped it.

00:58:35.000 And the suspension is pretty tight.

00:58:37.000 But when I got to it, it has no speedometer.

00:58:40.000 So when I got it to like what I assume is somewhere over 100, yeah, the steering wheel became a little scary.

00:58:47.000 It became a little too sensitive.

00:58:47.000 Oh, there's a little bit of a sensory sound.

00:58:49.000 The front end is so light.

00:58:51.000 Well, it's also the steering sucks.

00:58:53.000 Their steering was so he has like aftermarket on it.

00:58:57.000 Like, I just, I don't know what he did to it.

00:58:59.000 I got to take a deeper look into it.

00:59:01.000 I bought it and then just hauled ass back to Dallas.

00:59:04.000 Yeah.

00:59:04.000 And once I got on, once I got on the highway closer to my house, a Camry was getting cocky.

00:59:10.000 So I was just like, nah, I got to show on that.

00:59:12.000 Camry?

00:59:13.000 Yeah.

00:59:14.000 The Camry was getting cocky.

00:59:15.000 Oh, that looks great with that 71 front end.

00:59:17.000 That 71 front end is gorgeous.

00:59:19.000 Yeah, look, I think that's when we bought it.

00:59:21.000 My friend Brigham has a 71.

00:59:22.000 It's badass.

00:59:24.000 It's so nice.

00:59:25.000 This dude has everything LS swapped.

00:59:27.000 He has people sending him work from like other states, even.

00:59:30.000 Really?

00:59:31.000 Yeah.

00:59:31.000 This dude does good work.

00:59:32.000 The LS swapped into a Barracuda?

00:59:34.000 Ooh.

00:59:35.000 Yeah, no, that's like more blasphemy, like the thing we did with the Skyline.

00:59:40.000 You want to see the dopest Barracuda you've ever seen?

00:59:42.000 Yeah, hell yeah.

00:59:43.000 Jamie, pull up mine.

00:59:45.000 I had one made by Roadster Shop.

00:59:45.000 Oh, shit.

00:59:47.000 This is the craziest Barracuda ever.

00:59:49.000 Roadster, they make the frames and shit, right?

00:59:50.000 They make everything.

00:59:52.000 And they put a racing engine in it, a Mercury racing engine in it.

00:59:52.000 They did everything.

00:59:57.000 Bam.

00:59:58.000 So it's like a 9,000 RPM racing engine.

01:00:00.000 Holy shit.

01:00:01.000 Oh, it's nasty.

01:00:02.000 It's so crazy.

01:00:04.000 This is my car.

01:00:09.000 This thing is bonkers.

01:00:11.000 And it's got a roll cage in it.

01:00:13.000 It's all like the interior is gorgeous.

01:00:20.000 But it's six-speed, manual transmission, but it sounds like an exotic car.

01:00:28.000 Oh, yeah.

01:00:33.000 America.

01:00:35.000 Fuck yeah.

01:00:40.000 Hey, you got one cup holder?

01:00:42.000 Yeah, me too.

01:00:43.000 Yeah, fuck everybody else.

01:00:44.000 My interior doesn't look as nice as that one, but that's the one thing all in common is the cup holder.

01:00:51.000 Yeah, well, that's all the interior is totally different.

01:00:54.000 That thing is sick, bro.

01:00:55.000 You got an Ismo.

01:00:55.000 You have that.

01:00:56.000 You have good taste.

01:00:57.000 Yeah, I like stuff.

01:00:58.000 What's your gayest car? 0.95

01:01:00.000 The gayest car? 1.00

01:01:00.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:01:01.000 What's your car that you use?

01:01:02.000 That's my Tesla.

01:01:05.000 That one takes the cake. 0.97

01:01:06.000 I mean, if you want to ask the average person, but I love it.

01:01:09.000 I drove that today.

01:01:10.000 That thing's awesome.

01:01:11.000 That's your daily driver?

01:01:11.000 Yeah.

01:01:12.000 You drive it all?

01:01:13.000 I drive it all the time.

01:01:14.000 It's a Model S plaid, and it's also customized.

01:01:19.000 So this company called Unplug Performance, they take a Model S and then they put carbon fiber fenders on it, wider track, wider tires, upgraded suspension, change the interior.

01:01:30.000 Hey, do you have tinted windows?

01:01:32.000 Yeah.

01:01:33.000 Nobody ever recognizes you in traffic.

01:01:34.000 They don't recognize me.

01:01:35.000 Yeah.

01:01:36.000 What the fuck?

01:01:37.000 Usually they say hi.

01:01:38.000 Hey, what's up?

01:01:38.000 Yeah.

01:01:39.000 You don't get weirdos?

01:01:40.000 I feel like you'd get the most weirdos out of anybody.

01:01:42.000 You get some weirdos, but most people are nice.

01:01:44.000 Yeah.

01:01:45.000 Most people, the most people in the world, the reason why you can get on the highway and no one's just slamming into each other, and the reason why you can go to the mall and everyone's not stamping, trampeding, stampeding over people, it's because most people are nice.

01:01:57.000 Yeah.

01:01:57.000 Most people are cool.

01:01:58.000 Most people are cool until they start running out of women and resources. 1.00

01:02:02.000 Incels.

01:02:02.000 Right.

01:02:03.000 Incels.

01:02:04.000 They get on the meth.

01:02:04.000 They get dangerous.

01:02:06.000 Incels, they get radicalized online.

01:02:08.000 Yeah.

01:02:09.000 Don't do drugs.

01:02:10.000 Take care of your bodies.

01:02:11.000 What are the tires on the Corvette, Jamie?

01:02:13.000 Did we find out what they are?

01:02:14.000 I didn't know.

01:02:15.000 They're super sticky.

01:02:17.000 You'll drive it.

01:02:18.000 You'll go insane.

01:02:19.000 It's the greatest car ever.

01:02:20.000 Tires make a big difference, man.

01:02:21.000 Huge difference.

01:02:22.000 But it's also the mid-engine.

01:02:24.000 When they switch the Corvette architecture from that front engine design from the C7 to the C8, Michelin, yeah, there is Pilot Sport 4S.

01:02:34.000 And I think you could use cup tires too.

01:02:36.000 I think.

01:02:38.000 I think it's an option.

01:02:39.000 Mid-engine cars, they seem to be dominating on tracks, huh?

01:02:42.000 Well, the balance is so good.

01:02:44.000 When you have that balance of the engine in front of the rear wheels, first of all, you have massive amounts of traction because all that weight is back there.

01:02:52.000 There's always a problem with that front engine.

01:02:54.000 The only time I think the front engine can beat like a mid-engine thing, I think, is if like the track has different elevations.

01:03:01.000 Like, what is it, like, Laguna Secret, I think?

01:03:05.000 It has like a huge downhill uphill thing.

01:03:07.000 Oh, where it helps you to have the front engine bias?

01:03:09.000 Yeah, I think I mean, I'd imagine that's the only place it probably can make a difference because, like, when you're coming, uh, what is it like, man, I think I saw a video on it one time, and I didn't have the volume up because my kid was asleep, but I'm pretty sure that's what they were talking about.

01:03:24.000 Like, uh, what are the, you know, on the on the side of the track, they have like the like the stripes, the red and white, and sometimes they go over that, but you know how sometimes, yeah, yeah, so if you're going off of one of those and you're also going downhill, I'd imagine you'd want like a front engine.

01:03:42.000 I think you'd get the grip faster as you're coming down.

01:03:45.000 Whereas if the motor was in the back, I think you'd have to kind of catch your balance a little more than a front engine.

01:03:51.000 What could be wrong, though?

01:03:52.000 The motor's in the middle.

01:03:52.000 I don't know.

01:03:53.000 See, that's the thing.

01:03:54.000 The motor in the back with the Porsche, you have to learn how to use that pendulum effect as you're driving.

01:03:58.000 But what the guys who are really good at it, though, they use it to their effect.

01:04:02.000 Like they steer with the throttle.

01:04:03.000 So as they're turning, they're hitting the gas.

01:04:06.000 The as end is kicking out and then they're modulating it and then they're going straight.

01:04:11.000 So the guys that are really good at driving Porsches, it's pretty beautiful to watch because they just know how to use that rear engine bias.

01:04:17.000 But the thing about the Corvette and also the Cayman, the Cayman GT4, which is another amazing mid-engine car, is that engine in front of the rear wheel in the center of the car makes the car perfectly balanced.

01:04:32.000 You just feel so confident.

01:04:34.000 Even when the tires break, you feel really confident that this car is under control.

01:04:39.000 And the Corvette has so much downforce.

01:04:41.000 It's so well engineered.

01:04:43.000 I mean, these guys gave us, before they let us drive, me and Hinchcliffe went down there.

01:04:47.000 And before they let us drive, they gave us like this full tour de force explanation of the engineering involved in this car and what the goal was.

01:04:55.000 It's the most ridiculous production car that any American company has ever put out by far.

01:05:00.000 The more you get into cars, the more you get into like physics and balance.

01:05:04.000 It starts off as like, oh shit, like 340 horsepower and 400 pound feet of torque.

01:05:04.000 Yeah.

01:05:09.000 And then later on, you're just like, dude, that thing is so balanced.

01:05:12.000 Yes.

01:05:12.000 Balances everything.

01:05:13.000 And really, for thrills, if you really want to enjoy a car, enjoy a car, it's not about how fast you go.

01:05:22.000 Like this whole lap time thing, it's cool because if you like going on a track, and I do like going on a track, it's fun.

01:05:28.000 And it's fun to have a car that's really good at moving around a track and driving fast.

01:05:32.000 But in the real world, what you want is sensory experiences.

01:05:37.000 That's what you want out of a car.

01:05:39.000 What do you mean, sensory experiences?

01:05:40.000 You want to hear the sound.

01:05:42.000 You want to feel the gears as you're shifting.

01:05:45.000 You want to push the clutch in and pop that sucker in a third and let off the clutch as you hit the gas.

01:05:51.000 You want to smell it.

01:05:53.000 You want to feel it.

01:05:54.000 You want to really, you want a manual transmission and a manual steering.

01:06:00.000 You don't even want power-assisted steering.

01:06:02.000 So you want a light car, like an early 9-11.

01:06:05.000 If you really want to feel like what's the ultimate thrill of driving, it's a really well-sorted out, air-cooled 9-11.

01:06:15.000 Air-cooled 9-11.

01:06:16.000 Oh, those old Porsches are so light.

01:06:19.000 You can get them to like 2,000 pounds and they strip things out of them.

01:06:23.000 Oh, those are like stupid expenses now, right?

01:06:25.000 Yeah, they are now.

01:06:26.000 But it depends on which model.

01:06:27.000 You can still get some models like the G-body models.

01:06:30.000 They're pretty reasonable until people start realizing that and they start scooping them up too.

01:06:36.000 But there's some that don't look quite as good, but fuck what it looks like.

01:06:40.000 Get that out of your head.

01:06:41.000 What you want to just experience the car?

01:06:44.000 Like when you drive, like a, you can get like a 19.

01:06:48.000 Let's find out what a, how much does a 1982 911 cost?

01:06:54.000 Let's see if we can find one.

01:06:55.000 I hate that I just recently started getting into Porsches and I like, I hate that I like them now.

01:07:00.000 They're great.

01:07:01.000 They are.

01:07:01.000 They're really, but they're so expensive.

01:07:03.000 They're so expensive.

01:07:04.000 They're also good investments.

01:07:06.000 Yeah, they're worth more money after you buy them than they are when you buy them.

01:07:09.000 It's one of the rare cars that will continue.

01:07:12.000 Okay, there's a beautiful one.

01:07:13.000 That one's sick. 0.93

01:07:15.000 That one's $70,000.

01:07:16.000 That seems like somebody has put some, they probably put some work into that one.

01:07:22.000 What does it say in terms of what's been done to it?

01:07:25.000 Oh, my God.

01:07:26.000 It only has 100 miles on it?

01:07:28.000 That's crazy.

01:07:29.000 You know, When I first started making money, I felt like I was buying cars like that that were more like collector type.

01:07:36.000 But now my garage is so different because I don't like that.

01:07:40.000 Jamie, don't go back to that.

01:07:41.000 I like to fucking put miles on them.

01:07:43.000 Yeah, no, I hear you, but this is nuts.

01:07:45.000 To find an 82 Porsche with that low amount of miles, that's crazy.

01:07:50.000 100 miles?

01:07:51.000 I would LS it.

01:07:52.000 I'll buy it in LS.

01:07:57.000 Hey, look, I got one of those, but not that year.

01:08:00.000 Go back up.

01:08:01.000 Yeah, Skyline right there.

01:08:02.000 Oh, yeah.

01:08:03.000 Yeah, I got a different one, though.

01:08:06.000 I have the 1971.

01:08:09.000 Yeah, it's an original.

01:08:10.000 But that car, that's one of those cars that I'm like, I don't know if I should keep it or not because it's so valuable as long as I don't fuck with it too much.

01:08:17.000 Oh, it's an investment.

01:08:18.000 If I had that car, if I was you, I'd just keep that sucker well maintained.

01:08:22.000 Don't drive it anywhere, hold on to it, enjoy it.

01:08:25.000 That'll be worth a million dollars someday.

01:08:27.000 I don't know.

01:08:28.000 I think I'm going to LS it.

01:08:31.000 That would have it, but does it have the original engine?

01:08:34.000 Yeah, original engine, yep.

01:08:36.000 Oh, man.

01:08:36.000 I wouldn't fuck with it if I was you.

01:08:38.000 It still smells like the Japanese dude who used to drive it to work. 1.00

01:08:40.000 This is crazy that this car only has 100 miles on it.

01:08:43.000 So that car is not going to be fast in comparison to a modern car, but boy, will you enjoy driving it?

01:08:49.000 That is an enjoyable car.

01:08:51.000 You drive that car, you feel everything.

01:08:54.000 It's like you're in a ride.

01:08:56.000 I don't know what year they started doing this, but they have 8,000 miles on it.

01:09:00.000 90,000, yeah.

01:09:02.000 What?

01:09:03.000 100 miles on the new engine, maybe.

01:09:05.000 8,475, Jamie.

01:09:09.000 84, right?

01:09:10.000 7,580.

01:09:11.000 Is that the last one?

01:09:13.000 Is that up to the next mile?

01:09:15.000 When that goes over to zero, does that make a six?

01:09:17.000 Usually it's a different number or a different color or something.

01:09:21.000 Most cars tracked up to 100,000, right?

01:09:23.000 Yeah, or maybe not.

01:09:24.000 Maybe it's 9,000.

01:09:26.000 Like, does it go 6, 7, 8, 9, 60?

01:09:29.000 Does it do that?

01:09:30.000 I don't know.

01:09:31.000 I don't know.

01:09:32.000 We'll use it.

01:09:32.000 That's still not bad.

01:09:33.000 82?

01:09:34.000 So either way.

01:09:35.000 Yeah, if it's an 82, but that doesn't make any sense.

01:09:37.000 Oh, I think they're saying it has 100 miles on a rebuilt engine.

01:09:40.000 Let's see what it says.

01:09:42.000 Fully restored.

01:09:43.000 That's it.

01:09:44.000 Okay.

01:09:44.000 No miles.

01:09:45.000 Original engine, trans, fully restored.

01:09:48.000 No miles.

01:09:48.000 Okay, so it only has 100 miles on the original or the engine that's been fully restored.

01:09:53.000 Okay, that makes more sense.

01:09:55.000 So it's got a, they're lying then.

01:09:57.000 You can't say it has 100 miles because then all the trans, all the other shit, like the suspension, everything else has got all those miles on it. 1.00

01:10:04.000 Unless you swapped out every fucking component in the car.

01:10:07.000 They have a weird transmission.

01:10:11.000 I don't know what year they started doing this.

01:10:13.000 Oh, the dog leg when it down to one?

01:10:15.000 No, no, no.

01:10:15.000 Well, the thing it just feels different.

01:10:17.000 Like, I forgot what I forgot what it was.

01:10:20.000 My buddy bought one, the guy I run the channel with, Luis.

01:10:23.000 So this is like the cheapest Porsche ever, but it looks so good.

01:10:28.000 He made a whole YouTube thing about it.

01:10:30.000 Like he made videos on it.

01:10:31.000 He got this Porsche for like, I think it was like $3,200, $3,600 or something off Facebook.

01:10:36.000 The dude was like, yeah, it's 07 Porsche.

01:10:38.000 He's like, the motor's kaputz.

01:10:41.000 It's no good.

01:10:42.000 So my buddy goes to check it out and it has a knocking in it and the paint is just real ugly.

01:10:48.000 And he buys it.

01:10:50.000 He's like, fuck it.

01:10:50.000 I'm going to just take the chance.

01:10:52.000 Maybe it's a simple fix.

01:10:54.000 And he takes it to our buddy, Brian, back in Fort Worth to get it painted.

01:11:00.000 So now the paint is just brand new, but the motor still knocks.

01:11:04.000 And my dad pulls up to that same shop that same day to get a truck painted.

01:11:08.000 And he's like, oh, what's up, Luis?

01:11:10.000 And they decide to race the truck.

01:11:11.000 It's an OPS versus the Porsche.

01:11:13.000 And Luis floors it.

01:11:15.000 And after he floors it, the knocking goes away.

01:11:17.000 Just never came back.

01:11:19.000 And the motor just runs fine.

01:11:22.000 So he just came up on like the cheapest Porsche.

01:11:24.000 Do you have a video of this?

01:11:26.000 Yeah, bro.

01:11:27.000 It's all over.

01:11:28.000 Like, can you pull it up on the Formula Bean YouTube again?

01:11:32.000 It has to be on there.

01:11:33.000 That's crazy.

01:11:34.000 Yeah.

01:11:34.000 And the only thing other than that, I think, was like the wheel alignment.

01:11:38.000 It was like shaky or whatever.

01:11:39.000 But I think what he said what it was was the tires had been sitting for so long that they kind of like scary.

01:11:45.000 Yeah, so you just drive on old tires.

01:11:47.000 Yeah, we just switched them out.

01:11:48.000 It's like fucking no problem.

01:11:50.000 Look when your engines make noise.

01:11:52.000 And that is race a car.

01:11:53.000 Oh, it's a Cayman.

01:11:55.000 After the race, it stopped making the noises.

01:11:58.000 Let's change the oil and see what we find.

01:12:00.000 Well, there's really two things.

01:12:02.000 That's after the paint job.

01:12:02.000 You got some fresh gasoline in the car and the race.

01:12:05.000 I mean, if I was going to replace the engine, why not just race it if it blows up?

01:12:09.000 It blows up.

01:12:10.000 But ironically, the opposite happened.

01:12:13.000 The old owner warned me that the engine needed to be replaced.

01:12:16.000 And I think you can get a pretty good idea on the health of the engine by doing an oil change.

01:12:21.000 One, it looks disgusting, but let's see if we see any metal shavings in there.

01:12:25.000 Taking apart the old filter, I noticed a lot of sludge, but using a magnet, I don't find any metal shavings.

01:12:32.000 All right, let's go magnet fishing.

01:12:34.000 Next up, let's check the oil.

01:12:36.000 This dude's really smart.

01:12:37.000 He's he was an engineer for Lockheed Martin.

01:12:39.000 And I convinced him to quit his job.

01:12:42.000 Really?

01:12:43.000 Yeah, so maybe it's not that smart if he let me convince him to quit.

01:12:45.000 But this sounds more fun.

01:12:47.000 Yeah.

01:12:48.000 So, what was that noise?

01:12:49.000 Because of the condition of the oil, I'm thinking some sludge got stuck where it wasn't supposed to.

01:12:54.000 Maybe it was a lifter tick, and when I finally drove it hard, it blew out the sludge.

01:12:59.000 Or maybe it was something in the clutch.

01:13:01.000 All right, guys, let's see how it runs.

01:13:05.000 How much did you pay for this?

01:13:07.000 Like $3,600.

01:13:08.000 Oh, that's insane.

01:13:09.000 That's crazy, right?

01:13:10.000 What a great deal.

01:13:11.000 And that's a great balanced car.

01:13:13.000 The Caymans, those are super, super well-balanced.

01:13:16.000 It drives really good.

01:13:17.000 That's his daily driver now.

01:13:18.000 Oh, that's dope. 0.94

01:13:19.000 That dude only buys cars if they like suck.

01:13:22.000 Like, he wouldn't, like, you won't catch him buying something from a dealership.

01:13:25.000 He's never bought something from a dealership.

01:13:27.000 He has like sex cars on it.

01:13:29.000 Yeah, the dude's fucking crazy smart.

01:13:31.000 So I met him through our other content creator friend.

01:13:35.000 This is a dude named Papika.

01:13:37.000 Fucking hilarious dude.

01:13:38.000 Even funnier in real life.

01:13:42.000 We have the same media manager.

01:13:45.000 So anytime Papika wants to come to my shows, you know, my manager will just give him tickets.

01:13:49.000 And I'm performing in Dallas one day, and Papyco shows up with our other buddy, Ivan, and with this dude. 0.97

01:13:55.000 And he's like, hey, these are my buddies.

01:13:57.000 They're also content creators.

01:13:58.000 You know, they met at a TikTok convention or something.

01:14:01.000 I don't know where content creators hang out.

01:14:04.000 And first thing he tells me, he's like, hey, man, let's swap your skyline.

01:14:07.000 I heard you got a skyline.

01:14:09.000 And those are like his favorite cars, my favorite cars.

01:14:11.000 I was like, fuck, no, I would never do that.

01:14:13.000 He's like, well, if you ever wanted to do anything, just let me know.

01:14:16.000 So I told him I had bought an R32 GTR and I wanted to do work to it.

01:14:21.000 But I was like, I want to do it.

01:14:23.000 I want to learn how to fuck with it.

01:14:24.000 You know what I mean?

01:14:25.000 I was like, can you teach me what it?

01:14:27.000 And I was like, I'll pay you whatever you want to teach me.

01:14:29.000 He's like, all right, well, I'll go over on such a day.

01:14:32.000 Because it was a coincidence that we both live in DFW.

01:14:35.000 So he comes over to the house one day and we start like, I think the first thing we did was maybe change the exhaust on my skyline or maybe it was a suspension of mine, Paul.

01:14:45.000 I don't remember one of those things.

01:14:46.000 And I was like, well, what are you going to charge me?

01:14:48.000 He's like, nah, man, I don't care.

01:14:49.000 He's like, it's just fun.

01:14:50.000 You know, make some content from it.

01:14:52.000 Like, never charged.

01:14:53.000 We just kept hanging out.

01:14:54.000 And now we've done, I don't know how many fucking projects together.

01:14:57.000 And we went ahead and just started the channel together.

01:14:59.000 How far in did you get him to quit his job?

01:15:02.000 I think like a year into knowing him.

01:15:04.000 I tried after like a week of knowing him, though.

01:15:08.000 But he's like, I don't know, man.

01:15:09.000 He's like, he grew up very like, you know, you get a job, you keep your job security.

01:15:17.000 Like, he grew up under that.

01:15:19.000 Most people.

01:15:20.000 Yeah.

01:15:20.000 And so you're a comedian.

01:15:22.000 You're like, fuck it.

01:15:23.000 Yeah, I'm like, bro, burn it down.

01:15:24.000 Chase your fucking dreams.

01:15:25.000 Fuck a job.

01:15:26.000 There's so many jobs out there.

01:15:27.000 Like, they're always going to be there.

01:15:28.000 But he said, even before being a content creator, he thought that was like impossible.

01:15:34.000 He's like, nah, like, that'll never work.

01:15:37.000 And then, you know, just went for it and saw other of his friends.

01:15:41.000 I think like Ivan, our barber buddy, go for it.

01:15:44.000 And it like just started working.

01:15:46.000 I think he made a video.

01:15:47.000 I think during COVID is when he started getting a lot of following.

01:15:50.000 He made a, I don't know what he made a video of.

01:15:52.000 And he's just kept at it.

01:15:53.000 But to actually quit his job was like the next step.

01:15:56.000 That's great, man.

01:15:57.000 Look, those things are super popular and there's a real market for them.

01:16:02.000 I know because I watch them all the time.

01:16:04.000 I watch shows all the time online.

01:16:07.000 Do you know about Stance Elements?

01:16:09.000 I don't think so.

01:16:10.000 Okay.

01:16:10.000 There's a great channel you should follow called Stance Elements.

01:16:13.000 This dude is building a Ferrari F40.

01:16:17.000 Building.

01:16:18.000 So what he did was he bought all the parts that you could buy online for a Ferrari F40.

01:16:24.000 He bought quarter panels.

01:16:26.000 He bought roof panels.

01:16:28.000 He bought front fenders, hood, all that jazz.

01:16:31.000 Yo, Ferrari doesn't like that shit, though. 0.98

01:16:33.000 I hate it.

01:16:34.000 Fuck them.

01:16:35.000 He fabricated the entire frame.

01:16:38.000 He built the frame.

01:16:39.000 He built an interior roll cage.

01:16:42.000 He made it dope as fuck, man.

01:16:44.000 He made it like, and he's in the middle of this project.

01:16:47.000 This project is probably going to.

01:16:48.000 That's not an F40.

01:16:49.000 That's a 308.

01:16:51.000 That's a very cool car, too, though.

01:16:53.000 So he got an engine from an even more powerful Ferrari.

01:16:57.000 So he got a crate engine that he installed into this thing.

01:17:01.000 So you're going to scude.

01:17:02.000 This is like, he's just talking about different projects he did.

01:17:04.000 That was his original M5, which is another great car.

01:17:07.000 So look, fabricated this entire frame.

01:17:10.000 They did all this.

01:17:11.000 And they, you know, like, he meticulously measured and matched and then TIG welded all this stuff together.

01:17:18.000 And this is what he's putting together.

01:17:20.000 He's making this car.

01:17:21.000 So it's going to be like his version of a Ferrari F40.

01:17:26.000 But it's pretty sick.

01:17:28.000 It's going to cost him fucking shitloads of money, man.

01:17:31.000 That's so sick, though.

01:17:32.000 Yeah, like he's pretty far ahead past this now.

01:17:34.000 That's what it's going to look like ultimately at the end, which is going to be nuts.

01:17:38.000 Gas monkey did that too. 0.90

01:17:40.000 And I think the story with that was like Ferrari did everything they could to try to stop them from getting parts.

01:17:46.000 Oh, yeah.

01:17:47.000 I think he got all the parts before they knew what was going on.

01:17:50.000 Now, for the next guy who wants to do one of these, Ferrari's going to be like, oh, yeah.

01:17:54.000 If anybody's ordering a bunch of parts, like crazy, they're probably going to be like, hold on, this is suspicious.

01:17:58.000 If Ferrari catches you repainting your car like a crazy color, you're fucked.

01:18:02.000 They'll sue you.

01:18:03.000 Yeah.

01:18:04.000 Yeah, they go crazy.

01:18:05.000 Didn't they go after that designer?

01:18:07.000 What is his name?

01:18:08.000 Philip Pleen.

01:18:09.000 Is that his name?

01:18:10.000 He had like a green Ferrari, like a crazy metallic green.

01:18:18.000 He must have either put a wrap on it or changed the paint.

01:18:21.000 But he was doing all this promo stuff with his Ferrari and they sued him.

01:18:26.000 Bro.

01:18:27.000 Yeah, that's the car.

01:18:29.000 Ferrari wins legal case against designer Philip Pleen use of supercars, but he says it's not over.

01:18:36.000 Like, look at the color on that.

01:18:37.000 So that means like he bought it from Ferrari and must have signed something, right?

01:18:42.000 That's like I agree not to tell you some shit.

01:18:45.000 It said he's been ordered to pay Ferrari $352,000 in compensation to the Italian car manufacturer.

01:18:53.000 The case relates to a spring 2018 runway show that Pleen held in Milan in June of 2017.

01:18:58.000 During this event, Pleen featured a host of exotics, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and McLaren's.

01:19:04.000 And Ferrari was none too pleased with this.

01:19:07.000 They took issue with Pleen's social media posts claiming that by posting photos of his fashion collection with Ferraris, Pleen was unlawfully appropriating the goodwill attached to its trademarks to promote his own brand and products.

01:19:23.000 It added that Pleen's post tarnished the reputation of Ferrari.

01:19:26.000 Like, what reputation?

01:19:29.000 Coked up dudes in Miami?

01:19:32.000 What the fuck are you talking about?

01:19:33.000 What reputation?

01:19:34.000 That's crazy.

01:19:36.000 That's a lot of money.

01:19:37.000 He has to pay them $352,000 in compensation and reimburse attorneys' fees to the tune of over $29,000.

01:19:46.000 He has to pay them the attorney fees?

01:19:48.000 Yeah, in order to remove any images from his website and social media platforms that show any Ferrari model.

01:19:54.000 Moreover, the court said that if Pleen Pleen refuses to delete a post depicting a Ferrari or shares a new one, he will have to pay a fee of 10,000 pounds.

01:20:06.000 Is that pounds or is that Euros?

01:20:08.000 What's that?

01:20:09.000 Euros? 0.97

01:20:10.000 For each image or video.

01:20:12.000 That's crazy.

01:20:13.000 Dude, that sucks.

01:20:14.000 Oh, that's a multi-class.

01:20:15.000 Shortly after the decision was made, he went to Instagram and promptly shared an image of his bright green 812 Superfast, claiming that he will appeal the ruling.

01:20:25.000 That seems crazy.

01:20:27.000 That all he did was show his stuff with Ferraris.

01:20:30.000 Like, what about rappers?

01:20:31.000 Can they not use a Ferrari if they're doing a music video?

01:20:35.000 Like, if you're a rapper and you bought a dope car and you want to have your dope car in your music video, does Ferrari fucking sue you?

01:20:43.000 Yeah, I'm trying to think back now.

01:20:45.000 Have I even seen like, how many Ferraris have I seen in music videos?

01:20:49.000 I mean, you always see like cool cars, Lambod's, especially old ones.

01:20:54.000 You go back to like old rap videos.

01:20:56.000 But like an actual Ferrari?

01:20:59.000 That's a good question.

01:21:01.000 Oh, he got in trouble too, right?

01:21:01.000 Deadmouse.

01:21:03.000 Because he had a rap on his.

01:21:04.000 They sued him as well, right?

01:21:08.000 I got to find me a Ferrari, but not from Ferrari.

01:21:11.000 Like, I got to find it on Facebook Marketplace, like my friend with the Porsche.

01:21:14.000 See, that's what hit the back of his car.

01:21:16.000 Look at that color.

01:21:17.000 Isn't that a dope color?

01:21:18.000 That is.

01:21:18.000 I love that color.

01:21:20.000 That is the same color.

01:21:22.000 It's a similar color, rather, to what Corvette has.

01:21:25.000 Corvette has a new one called Roswell Green for their ZR-1.

01:21:29.000 Looks sick.

01:21:31.000 He says, Ferrari says he was using the vehicle to add value to his products and elevate his status as a designer.

01:21:38.000 Okay.

01:21:38.000 On the surface, this seems petty, but a dig a little closer and you'll find you agree with Ferrari.

01:21:44.000 No, I won't.

01:21:45.000 That's kind of what I agree with, bitch. 1.00

01:21:47.000 German fashion designer was not only taking pictures with scantily clad women washing the Ferrari, he had also been known to employ the likes of Chris Brown and Takeshi 6-9 in his fashion shows, Two Men with a History of Perpetrating Sexual Assault and Other Unsavory Acts.

01:22:04.000 Okay, that's not 100% fair, though, because did Chris Brown commit sexual assault?

01:22:10.000 I thought it was just, you know, domestic violence.

01:22:12.000 Domestic violence.

01:22:13.000 Yeah.

01:22:13.000 He didn't rape nobody.

01:22:15.000 I don't think so.

01:22:16.000 I think they're just.

01:22:18.000 I don't know what happened with Takeshi 6ix9ine either.

01:22:21.000 I don't know that story at all.

01:22:22.000 I know he's a rat.

01:22:25.000 So what about the Miami Vice?

01:22:27.000 Wasn't it?

01:22:27.000 That'd be hilarious if the article was like, yeah, and he associated with a snitch.

01:22:32.000 You know what's crazy?

01:22:33.000 It's like those are really expensive.

01:22:36.000 Oh, look at that.

01:22:37.000 The Miami Vice one, a Corvette-based Daytona kit was used.

01:22:40.000 Once Ferrari got wind, it took action.

01:22:43.000 Oh, interesting.

01:22:45.000 But it says Ferrari was so much more fun in the 1980s.

01:22:48.000 And instead of just asking the producers of the show to take badges off or stop using the vehicle, they asked for the Daytona to be blown up on screen.

01:22:56.000 The moment ended to be one of the most pivotal moments of the series in a great spectacle.

01:23:00.000 The brand was even a good sport about the whole thing and offered the show a real Ferrari Testerosa, the brand's flagship at the time to be used for the remainder of the series.

01:23:08.000 So yeah, Miami Vice was known for that Testerosa, that white Testerosa that Don Johnson used to drive around in.

01:23:14.000 It says Ferrari was cool back then.

01:23:16.000 They said, you're a real car, bro.

01:23:17.000 I only know about that Ferrari because of the Wolf of Wall Street.

01:23:20.000 Was it the intro?

01:23:21.000 He's like, no, no, my Ferrari was white, like Don Johnson's on Miami Vice.

01:23:26.000 Yeah, I don't like the Testeros.

01:23:28.000 I have a friend, my friend Dana White from the UFC.

01:23:30.000 He has a Testerosa.

01:23:32.000 I think they look like trash.

01:23:33.000 The Testerosis?

01:23:34.000 Yeah, I just think it's a crappy-looking car.

01:23:36.000 It's just not interested in it.

01:23:38.000 I mean, I'm sure it's fun to drive, but for some people, that was their car when they were a kid.

01:23:44.000 That was the car that they wanted.

01:23:45.000 For me, it was always Porsche's.

01:23:47.000 Porsche's and muscle cars.

01:23:49.000 Those are the cars that I wanted when I was a kid.

01:23:51.000 Those Porsche's like the turbo with the fat ass. 1.00

01:23:54.000 Oh, yeah.

01:23:54.000 Like, if you go like, Google 1985 9-11 Turbo.

01:24:01.000 This was when I was a senior in high school.

01:24:03.000 That was the first thing I liked about the Porsches, the fat asses. 1.00

01:24:06.000 Because you stare at them, and like I was saying, like, you get into balance.

01:24:09.000 When I look at that, I'm like, look at that thing.

01:24:10.000 That thing would never flip over.

01:24:12.000 But then you can go with the BBL version of it, which is that dude in Japan who makes his white black and white.

01:24:19.000 Everybody was flaming him when he was gluing the parts on.

01:24:23.000 Look at that.

01:24:24.000 Sexy.

01:24:25.000 1985 9-11 turbo.

01:24:27.000 Look how sexy that is.

01:24:29.000 When I was a kid, that was the car, man.

01:24:30.000 I saw that.

01:24:31.000 There was a dude at a gas station that I worked at.

01:24:33.000 He pulled in with a Porsche.

01:24:34.000 It was the first time I ever saw one up close.

01:24:36.000 I was like, holy shit, look at this thing.

01:24:39.000 It was just like that.

01:24:40.000 It was a white one.

01:24:42.000 I'd like to have one of those one day.

01:24:44.000 Yeah.

01:24:45.000 They're cool.

01:24:46.000 And again, that car, you'll feel everything.

01:24:50.000 You feel everything, man.

01:24:52.000 It's like they're so mechanical.

01:24:55.000 It's just a sensory overload.

01:24:57.000 So it's more fun, even if you're not driving fast.

01:25:00.000 Like, my Tesla's fun, but one of the reasons why it's fun because it's preposterous.

01:25:05.000 It goes zero to 60 in 1.9 seconds.

01:25:08.000 It's just silent.

01:25:11.000 It's just gone.

01:25:12.000 Like it's silent.

01:25:13.000 The light turns green.

01:25:14.000 It's just it just takes off.

01:25:14.000 It's gone.

01:25:18.000 But you have more fun in a light car like that going slower.

01:25:23.000 You don't even have to speed.

01:25:25.000 Like you just, it's the feeling of driving, running through the gears.

01:25:30.000 Ferrari has not sued owners solely for changing the paint color or applying a wrap.

01:25:35.000 However, Ferrari has taken legal action against owners who have significantly altered the car's appearance, especially when it involves modifying or replacing the Ferrari logo or when the car is used in ways that damage the brand's reputation.

01:25:48.000 So that's what Ferrari was saying.

01:25:50.000 I don't know how many times.

01:25:52.000 I mean, there's only been a couple times, and I won't say who, because I don't want to get the inventory, but I've seen cars, Ferraris, that have been modified, and the logo is the horse, but with like a giant boner.

01:26:08.000 Where have you seen that?

01:26:09.000 I can't tell you now.

01:26:10.000 Why can't you tell?

01:26:11.000 I don't want them to get sued, man.

01:26:12.000 All right, don't tell me.

01:26:14.000 But yeah.

01:26:15.000 It's kind of stupid, though, that a car company could think that it could stop you from altering things.

01:26:19.000 Because, like, think about the GTRs that we were talking about.

01:26:23.000 Like, a big part of the whole community and the culture is the altering of those cars.

01:26:27.000 Yeah.

01:26:27.000 The big part is the modifying.

01:26:29.000 I think that's part of what got them so popular is that they were so easily tunable and easy to modify.

01:26:29.000 Yeah.

01:26:36.000 It's a big part of it.

01:26:37.000 And the same thing with Porsches.

01:26:38.000 I mean, there's so many outlaw Porsches out there where people take Porsches and change all kinds of things on them.

01:26:44.000 And like that gentleman, what is his name again that does the Raw Welt Porsches?

01:26:51.000 I don't know his name, but he wears the sandals and he smokes cigarettes all the time.

01:26:55.000 Yeah, that guy's fascinating because he does everything by hand.

01:26:58.000 Yeah.

01:26:59.000 He makes all those wide-body Porsches by hand.

01:27:02.000 There's like a wait list, right?

01:27:03.000 To get you to fuck with your Porsche.

01:27:05.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:27:06.000 He just comes to your shop.

01:27:08.000 He'll travel with fucking cartons of cigarettes.

01:27:11.000 I think he drinks Coca-Cola, just fucking carves it up.

01:27:16.000 And, you know, I like his style.

01:27:17.000 They're dope.

01:27:18.000 But very like grandma style, just Coca-Cola and cigarettes.

01:27:21.000 Yeah.

01:27:21.000 I feel like that's shit that my grandma would send me to the store for.

01:27:24.000 Flip-flops.

01:27:25.000 He's just out there smoking cigarettes and working on the car.

01:27:28.000 But that style of car, that wide body style is like very controversial.

01:27:33.000 Some people think it's gross.

01:27:34.000 Like, what have you done to a Porsche?

01:27:36.000 You've cut up one of the great pieces of engineering and design, and you've turned it into this fat hooker. 0.99

01:27:43.000 That's something that I like didn't.

01:27:45.000 That's one thing that kept me from liking Porsches for so long was that like Porsche owners were very anal about stuff like that.

01:27:52.000 Well, Porsche, less, less Porsche than Ferrari.

01:27:52.000 Yeah.

01:27:57.000 Like for Ferrari, it's like, you know, it's a sacrilege to do that.

01:28:01.000 But that does look pretty fucking that looks sick.

01:28:03.000 That looks pretty goddamn dope.

01:28:05.000 And there's giant ass wheels and tires they have on those things. 1.00

01:28:08.000 The grip must be sensational.

01:28:10.000 I love that thing.

01:28:11.000 I wish I would do that.

01:28:14.000 If I owned a Porsche, I would call that dude.

01:28:15.000 I'd be like, hey, do this stuff, man.

01:28:17.000 Look at that.

01:28:18.000 Look what he did to a that's a the first or the last of the air-cooled cars, I think.

01:28:23.000 Hey, Luis, we got to call this dude working on your Porsche.

01:28:26.000 That actually might be a 997.

01:28:27.000 I think that is a 997.

01:28:29.000 So that's a water-cooled car.

01:28:32.000 Look at the wide body on that motherfucker. 1.00

01:28:34.000 Ooh, that looks good.

01:28:36.000 That looks good.

01:28:38.000 What is his name again, Jamie?

01:28:40.000 Akira Nakai.

01:28:41.000 That's right.

01:28:42.000 Yeah.

01:28:43.000 Akira.

01:28:44.000 Like the movie.

01:28:44.000 Yeah, so that guy's got a whole cult following.

01:28:48.000 And they do a lot of LS swaps in those cars too.

01:28:52.000 Rublidge Wood had one of those.

01:28:53.000 He had one that was LS swapped.

01:28:58.000 They put those motors into like, what is it, the Beatles sometimes too, right?

01:29:01.000 The Volkswagens?

01:29:02.000 Yeah.

01:29:02.000 The old ones?

01:29:03.000 Those are sick.

01:29:04.000 You can put an LS into anything.

01:29:05.000 They're bulletproof.

01:29:06.000 Such a good engine.

01:29:07.000 Oh, and I was talking about the Porsche engines.

01:29:09.000 I think they fit in.

01:29:09.000 Oh, they definitely do that.

01:29:10.000 Yeah.

01:29:11.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:29:11.000 A lot of people have done that.

01:29:13.000 They put them in VW buses.

01:29:13.000 Yeah.

01:29:15.000 I wonder if that makes Porsche people mad. 1.00

01:29:18.000 I think the Porsche people are just a little more chill about that stuff.

01:29:20.000 They're not going to sue you.

01:29:22.000 The Ferrari thing is weird because I think that's the only company that does that.

01:29:26.000 That goes after people for doing stuff to their vehicles.

01:29:29.000 That'd be hilarious if like Ford or Chevy started doing that.

01:29:32.000 It's like, you can't change your Ford Fiesta like that.

01:29:35.000 Bro, you talk about lawsuits.

01:29:36.000 How many fucking lawsuits would they have? 0.92

01:29:39.000 I mean, how many people have altered Mustangs?

01:29:42.000 You know, come on.

01:29:43.000 I like the Mustangs.

01:29:44.000 I feel kind of bad that they got that reputation for always hitting people at car meets and stuff and sliding out of control.

01:29:50.000 Do they?

01:29:51.000 I think it's a four thing, though.

01:29:52.000 What do you mean?

01:29:53.000 Like, so like on memes and stuff, the Mustangs are infamous for like when they do little burnouts or when they just do a little fishtail, they end up going out of control and like hitting people on curbs.

01:30:06.000 So that's the driver, bro.

01:30:07.000 They get made fun of a lot.

01:30:08.000 They're like, oh, it's always in a Mustang.

01:30:10.000 But I think it's a four thing.

01:30:12.000 I think Ford, a lot of their cars have delays.

01:30:16.000 No, no, no.

01:30:16.000 No.

01:30:16.000 Yeah.

01:30:17.000 That's not what that's about.

01:30:18.000 But I think I don't know how to do it.

01:30:20.000 For sure, it's a driver thing, but I think it's partly because they're not used to the delay.

01:30:26.000 What delay are you talking about?

01:30:27.000 I think, like, and I might be wrong.

01:30:29.000 I have a Mustang, I should just say.

01:30:31.000 I have a new Mustang.

01:30:33.000 But I have a super snake.

01:30:34.000 Okay, so I don't know, how new is it?

01:30:36.000 Like, brand new?

01:30:36.000 Brand new.

01:30:37.000 All right, so I don't know about brand new, but maybe still.

01:30:40.000 Get in your Mustang and floor it and count how long it takes before it like takes off or try to time.

01:30:50.000 It might be like half a second, it might be a second.

01:30:51.000 And count how long it takes for the like when you let off the throttle, how long, like try to feel it, how long it takes for it to actually the motor to stop receiving the gas.

01:31:03.000 Like it's it's a it's like about a half a second or a second longer than most cars.

01:31:08.000 What?

01:31:08.000 I swear to God.

01:31:09.000 Find out if that's a thing.

01:31:10.000 It's a delay.

01:31:11.000 I've never heard of that before.

01:31:12.000 Yeah.

01:31:13.000 Or especially even in a truck.

01:31:14.000 I was driving F-150.

01:31:17.000 It has a 5-0.

01:31:19.000 It's a single cab.

01:31:20.000 Those things are fucking sick.

01:31:21.000 They're like the best trucks out there right now.

01:31:23.000 Delay after flooring.

01:31:25.000 This is an F-150, five-liter.

01:31:28.000 When I punch it, there seems to be about a two-second or less delay on the initial pickup.

01:31:33.000 That's something wrong with this car.

01:31:35.000 So I don't know if it's only the truck.

01:31:36.000 Let's see about that Mustangs. 0.90

01:31:38.000 Try it.

01:31:38.000 Try it out.

01:31:40.000 The mine has no delay.

01:31:40.000 I'm gathering money.

01:31:42.000 It has no delay.

01:31:42.000 No.

01:31:43.000 So I was thinking maybe that's why some people slide out of control, though, is because they're not used to the delay.

01:31:43.000 No.

01:31:47.000 Because again, my truck, I don't have that truck anymore, but I'd have to kind of count for like, all right, I'm going to floor it.

01:31:55.000 But also when I take my foot off, like I need to take it off a little earlier than I normally would, depending on what I'm doing.

01:32:01.000 I feel like that your car was not tuned in correctly.

01:32:04.000 I feel like your car needs to be a lot more.

01:32:05.000 You could probably fix it with a tune, but that's how they come out the factory.

01:32:08.000 I have not mine, man.

01:32:09.000 I have a test.

01:32:11.000 I have a Raptor and I also have a Mustang, and neither one of them has any problems like that.

01:32:16.000 Their immediate response.

01:32:18.000 Try it.

01:32:19.000 Compare them to your other cars.

01:32:20.000 Pull out the GTR, pull out the Tesla.

01:32:22.000 Pull out the PlayStation.

01:32:25.000 Tesla is very different than all of them because it's instantaneous.

01:32:28.000 It's no gears.

01:32:29.000 It's one gear.

01:32:30.000 It's fucking preposterously fast.

01:32:33.000 But the Mustangs don't have that.

01:32:35.000 I think it's a bad driver.

01:32:36.000 Yeah.

01:32:37.000 Yeah, the Mustangs are just, you know, it's like...

01:32:40.000 It's not expensive.

01:32:41.000 Even the GTR has a delay.

01:32:42.000 It's turbocharged.

01:32:43.000 It's a different thing.

01:32:44.000 Okay, the Mustangs are five liters.

01:32:46.000 So it's a V8.

01:32:47.000 It's the Coyote engine.

01:32:48.000 Every car reacts a little different to it, like when you floor it.

01:32:51.000 The reaction time is different.

01:32:52.000 Maybe Forbes is just the same thing.

01:32:54.000 You're just hanging on to this reaction time.

01:32:56.000 I don't know, man.

01:32:57.000 I don't know.

01:32:57.000 Anything in there about delay in the throttle or Mustangs?

01:33:01.000 I don't think there's any problem with the Mustang that they personally bought.

01:33:03.000 One person.

01:33:04.000 Yeah, I'm not saying like a thing.

01:33:07.000 I'm collecting data.

01:33:08.000 I'm not trying to hit on Mustangs.

01:33:10.000 I'm trying to collect that.

01:33:11.000 I don't think you're collecting data.

01:33:12.000 I think you're talking about anecdotal experiences from cars that weren't tuned in correctly.

01:33:16.000 I want you to floor that Mustang, your super snake, and then tell me what the time was.

01:33:21.000 I floor that thing all the time.

01:33:23.000 But mine's not a normal one.

01:33:24.000 It's a Shelby.

01:33:26.000 So Shelby North America, they take a regular, I still want the data, Joe.

01:33:30.000 I want you to floor it and give me the data.

01:33:32.000 Yeah.

01:33:33.000 Give me the, get that, what is it?

01:33:35.000 What do they call them?

01:33:36.000 The Trekkies?

01:33:37.000 Where they track everything for you.

01:33:40.000 It's like an app.

01:33:41.000 Oh, okay.

01:33:42.000 And you put this little thing in your cup holder and you floor it.

01:33:46.000 2005 to 9 poll on a thread here.

01:33:50.000 Do I have throttle lag?

01:33:52.000 And some people do.

01:33:54.000 Some lag, you know.

01:33:56.000 These are older Mustangs.

01:33:58.000 Yeah, older.

01:33:59.000 But these are older ones.

01:34:00.000 They're probably out of tune.

01:34:02.000 They probably have bad fuel injection.

01:34:05.000 Something's wrong.

01:34:06.000 Big's coming up with like a.

01:34:08.000 Yeah.

01:34:08.000 I'm just trying to collect data.

01:34:10.000 All right.

01:34:11.000 Just like you do if you have all these experts come on.

01:34:14.000 You keep saying that like you're a scientist.

01:34:17.000 I'm not a scientist.

01:34:18.000 I love that you're doing that car channel, though.

01:34:20.000 That's pretty cool.

01:34:21.000 I love cars, man.

01:34:23.000 I love watching people fix them and work on them and modify them.

01:34:27.000 Oh, that's so fun.

01:34:28.000 I mean, it might be like 20% of the content that I watch is like car stuff.

01:34:33.000 I just love it.

01:34:34.000 I love when people are really passionate about something, you know, when they work on things.

01:34:39.000 Whenever I get interested in something, I like to really dig into it and learn about it.

01:34:43.000 It's just so rare when I find something that I'm genuinely interested in.

01:34:47.000 But that's the problem I was telling you: is that like now I'm just hyper-focused on this and I haven't written a new joke in like, I don't know how long.

01:34:47.000 Yeah.

01:34:56.000 Do you sit down and write or do you try to like let ideas come to you?

01:34:59.000 How do you do it?

01:35:00.000 I mean, like both.

01:35:02.000 I try to let ideas come to me so I don't force something, but once I have the idea, then I try to like write it out.

01:35:09.000 And I wrote last night and the night before just because I'm like, bro, I have to write something down just to see if I can like squeeze something out.

01:35:18.000 But lately, like the shows I've been doing, and it's and it's worked for the most part.

01:35:24.000 Lately, I just kind of go up there with half ideas and then sketch them out on stage.

01:35:29.000 So you're trying to work on new material that way.

01:35:31.000 Yeah.

01:35:32.000 That's a great way to work on new material because you put yourself under pressure.

01:35:35.000 Yeah.

01:35:36.000 And it feels more like a conversation with the crowd sometimes.

01:35:39.000 Because sometimes I'll just straight up tell the crowd, like, yo, what do you guys want to talk about?

01:35:43.000 Because I'm out of ideas.

01:35:44.000 Like, and I might, it might turn into a lot of crowd work, which is also fun too, at least for me.

01:35:48.000 I know some people don't like it, but I don't know.

01:35:52.000 I'm in a weird place creatively with comedy.

01:35:56.000 I feel like anything I try to think of is just not going to be funny.

01:35:59.000 Have you been working too much?

01:36:01.000 Maybe.

01:36:02.000 That might be fun.

01:36:02.000 Are you non-stop or do you take weeks off every now and then?

01:36:06.000 I've been pretty non-stop up until now.

01:36:09.000 I was non-stop for a long time.

01:36:12.000 And then one time I decided to take a few weeks off.

01:36:15.000 And I think I wound up taking a month off or I didn't do any sets for a month.

01:36:18.000 It was weird.

01:36:19.000 I'd never done that before.

01:36:20.000 The only other time I did that was I had surgery on my knee.

01:36:23.000 I took two weeks off.

01:36:24.000 Then I went on stage with crutches after that.

01:36:27.000 And then during COVID, during COVID, I didn't do stand-up for a long time.

01:36:31.000 But I found out that when I took a month off, like I had a chance to actually think about what's interesting to me instead of just doing jokes that I thought worked.

01:36:42.000 So I had no pressure to do a show.

01:36:44.000 I didn't have any shows scheduled.

01:36:46.000 So I said, let me just think about life.

01:36:49.000 Let me think about what's interesting to me.

01:36:51.000 Let me think about what's bothering me.

01:36:53.000 Think about what's exciting to me.

01:36:54.000 Think about what's possible.

01:36:56.000 Think about things I'm interested in.

01:36:58.000 And just start writing down subjects.

01:37:00.000 So for a full month, I didn't do any performing.

01:37:03.000 I just collected ideas.

01:37:05.000 And I didn't think of it in terms of like, I'm under the gun.

01:37:09.000 I have to get X amount of ideas.

01:37:11.000 I just thought about it like every day I'm going to spend just a certain amount of time either in front of the computer or looking at my phone just working on ideas, just finding shit that's interesting.

01:37:22.000 And then I had a folder that I'd put all these ideas in, and then I'd sit down and look at these photos, like, no, no, huh, maybe that.

01:37:31.000 And then I'll write something about it, just a little bit.

01:37:34.000 Just write down like what's weird about it, what bothers me about it, and then go back to it the next day and expand on it.

01:37:41.000 And maybe smile and read and fucking think about it and go, what is what, what would life be like if no one figured out the wheel?

01:37:48.000 What would life be?

01:37:49.000 You know, what would life be like if no one ever invested any time into figuring out antibiotics?

01:37:56.000 You know, like, and then you just go on a rant, go on a rant, write things down, and then write it.

01:38:02.000 I write in essay form.

01:38:03.000 So I don't try to write like in joke form.

01:38:05.000 I write about a subject.

01:38:07.000 Like, what is what is about the subject that's interesting to me?

01:38:09.000 I look at it a bunch of different angles.

01:38:11.000 And then usually when I do that, there's like a thing in there that's funny, one thing.

01:38:17.000 I could just pull that thing out and then figure out how do I deliver that one thing.

01:38:21.000 Oh, I get you.

01:38:22.000 Yeah.

01:38:22.000 So instead of just like always thinking about like, what can I talk about on stage?

01:38:26.000 What are the jokes?

01:38:27.000 Think about like what interests you.

01:38:30.000 And if you feel like you're burnt out, if you do you have shows scheduled non-stop from now on?

01:38:35.000 Nah.

01:38:35.000 So my next tour starts in September.

01:38:39.000 And some people are kind of upset with me because it's like a seven, eight show tour over like four months.

01:38:46.000 Why are they upset?

01:38:47.000 Because they're like, hey, it's not a tour.

01:38:49.000 It's like a pit stop.

01:38:50.000 Oh, the thing and you're lazy.

01:38:51.000 Yeah.

01:38:52.000 And like people are like, why did you come to this city?

01:38:54.000 Why is it like these seven cities?

01:38:56.000 But I'm like, I don't know.

01:38:57.000 It just worked out that way, man.

01:38:58.000 I want fucking time off too, you know?

01:39:00.000 You got to not listen to people.

01:39:01.000 Do what you want to do.

01:39:02.000 Don't listen to anybody.

01:39:05.000 Especially online.

01:39:06.000 I feel like I'm barely getting to that point where I like I can finally.

01:39:11.000 Not that I'm like, okay, finally I'm here at this point.

01:39:14.000 I feel like it's like one step at a time.

01:39:18.000 We're like, all right, I can care a little bit less now about this.

01:39:21.000 And like with time, I can care a little bit less about that or whatever.

01:39:25.000 But it's still tough.

01:39:26.000 I also don't.

01:39:29.000 I think one of the toxic things that it could be like a double-edged sword is like how much people let you do and help you do things.

01:39:38.000 Like if I told my manager right now that I wanted to write a play, like the man is going to help me write a play.

01:39:44.000 I don't know how to write a play.

01:39:45.000 Like I shouldn't be writing plays.

01:39:47.000 And I feel like that's bad.

01:39:49.000 It's how much people let me do things.

01:39:51.000 I think sometime this week, maybe next week, as part of the press tour, I'm going on some Spanish shows.

01:39:58.000 My Spanish is not that great.

01:40:00.000 Like I should not be allowed to be on Spanish TV.

01:40:02.000 How bad is it?

01:40:03.000 It's like if you're if your first language is Spanish and you hear mine, you're just like, that guy learned this later on.

01:40:12.000 Like he learned it as a kid maybe, but it's not great.

01:40:15.000 It's like I can have a conversation.

01:40:17.000 I can communicate with whoever, but it's not good enough to be on TV.

01:40:21.000 Right.

01:40:21.000 And I think it's crazy that there's not even like a check.

01:40:23.000 Like there's no test.

01:40:25.000 Like I thought at some point they'd interview me and just be like, do you know what this means?

01:40:29.000 You know how to say this, say that?

01:40:31.000 Like, no, they're just like, well, he's trusting you.

01:40:34.000 You say you can speak Spanish.

01:40:35.000 That's crazy, the trust they put in.

01:40:38.000 Because it only backfire.

01:40:39.000 I mean, yeah, it could backfire on my agent, my manager, whatever.

01:40:42.000 It's going to be like, hey, you vouched for this guy, sure.

01:40:44.000 But it's going to backfire on me more than anybody.

01:40:47.000 Well, you could always have someone come on that's fluent that could help you.

01:40:49.000 That's true.

01:40:50.000 Like when I had Yoel Romero on the podcast, Joey Diaz translated for Yoel.

01:40:55.000 Yoel's from Cuba.

01:40:56.000 Joey's from Cuba.

01:40:57.000 So Joey would just, you listen to Yoel and translate.

01:41:01.000 And then occasionally Yoel would say things in English because his English is okay.

01:41:05.000 Yeah, my game plan is just to like be straightforward with it.

01:41:08.000 Yeah.

01:41:09.000 And just be like, look, before we go deeper into this, just know I might fuck up here or there.

01:41:13.000 Yeah.

01:41:14.000 Just say that.

01:41:14.000 Yeah.

01:41:16.000 Yeah.

01:41:17.000 But that does happen in the Mexican community, though, right?

01:41:19.000 They get a little mad if you can't speak Spanish.

01:41:20.000 Oh, bro, they hate you.

01:41:23.000 It's crazy.

01:41:25.000 But fuck it.

01:41:27.000 I just think that's just the funny kind of double-edged sword about the entertainment industry, though, is like people will give you the tools to try whatever you want to do next.

01:41:40.000 But why do you think that's bad?

01:41:41.000 Because sometimes I think it's bad because you can set yourself up for failure, humiliation.

01:41:51.000 Or success.

01:41:52.000 Or success.

01:41:53.000 True.

01:41:54.000 But that's why it's a double-edged sword.

01:41:56.000 Did you ever watch that movie Top 5, Chris Rock's movie, Top 5?

01:41:59.000 No.

01:42:00.000 I saw that movie in the theaters when I was like 18, maybe.

01:42:03.000 17.

01:42:04.000 So he's basically like playing himself.

01:42:08.000 It's about a stand-up comedian who I think he's, if I remember correctly, I think he's getting upset because people don't take him seriously as he directed a movie and acted in a movie and people are kind of trashing the movie.

01:42:19.000 And he's just like, what the fuck?

01:42:20.000 Why don't people see I'm more than just a comedian, you know?

01:42:23.000 And I think towards the end of the movie, he ends up getting arrested and he's in like the city jail.

01:42:30.000 And across from him is DMX, like as DMX.

01:42:35.000 He's doing a cameo.

01:42:36.000 And DMX is like, yeah, I know what you mean.

01:42:39.000 Like, nobody understands.

01:42:40.000 Like, I don't always want to rap.

01:42:41.000 I want to sing too.

01:42:42.000 And DMX starts singing some song, but it sounds horrible to DMX's voice.

01:42:47.000 And so the lesson there is like, kind of like, know your space.

01:42:50.000 You know what I mean?

01:42:51.000 Like, know your lane.

01:42:52.000 Yeah.

01:42:52.000 Know your lane.

01:42:53.000 So I think that's the dangerous part is sometimes you might lose sight of what your lane is and you can go into, you venture out, which is cool.

01:43:02.000 It's fun, you know, creatively.

01:43:04.000 But then it's like, hey, you might fucking imagine if somebody gave DMX like a tour where he was just singing fucking country songs or something.

01:43:13.000 Like it'd be entertaining, but it wouldn't be great.

01:43:15.000 You know what I mean?

01:43:16.000 Right, but if you could do it, you got to give him a chance to possibly pull it off.

01:43:20.000 That's true.

01:43:21.000 A lot of people have done that.

01:43:22.000 Like Post Malone's got a whole country tour.

01:43:24.000 That's true.

01:43:25.000 And I went to see it.

01:43:26.000 But that is a very talented man.

01:43:26.000 It was great.

01:43:28.000 I don't care what anybody says.

01:43:30.000 Very talented man.

01:43:30.000 So it's like you have to know how seriously to take yourself too.

01:43:34.000 Well, sort of, or you have to not think about it.

01:43:38.000 he's like a guy, he kind of stays toasty, keeps rolling.

01:43:43.000 I don't think he ponders it too much.

01:43:45.000 I think he does what he wants to do.

01:43:47.000 Yeah.

01:43:47.000 But like me, I know myself well enough to know, like, I'm no post malone.

01:43:52.000 I'm not starting a car channel out of like, I'm going to be the next fucking top gear.

01:43:57.000 Yeah, but you're starting it because you're interested in cars, which is a good reason to start it.

01:44:00.000 Yeah.

01:44:00.000 But I also know myself enough to know that, like, yeah, I'm just kind of like, I'm keeping it goofy.

01:44:05.000 I'm keeping it light.

01:44:06.000 Yeah.

01:44:07.000 I'm not, I'm not necessarily like, I don't know how to explain it too well.

01:44:13.000 I'm just trying to make sure that I don't end up being DMX in that jail cell.

01:44:17.000 You know what I mean?

01:44:18.000 Do you worry about that?

01:44:19.000 Is that something that you worry about?

01:44:22.000 I'm keeping up.

01:44:24.000 Sometimes, to a degree, I think I know myself well enough to know, like, I'm trying to act.

01:44:29.000 I've been doing auditions and stuff.

01:44:31.000 And I think that I have a pretty good gauge of if I landed a role and I heard like the feedback on it, I think I'd know like, all right, that's like when it's valid and when it's not.

01:44:47.000 You know what I mean?

01:44:48.000 But my biggest fear is that like, what if, what if I did get like such a huge ego that I'm like, oh, these idiots don't know what they're talking about.

01:44:56.000 Like, I'm so talented.

01:44:57.000 Like, that's, I feel like that's scary.

01:44:59.000 That's a scary part of the entertainment industry is like when you believe the wrong stuff.

01:45:06.000 Or I feel like you shouldn't believe any of it, right?

01:45:08.000 Like they say the good comments and the bad comments are none of them are true.

01:45:14.000 Well, none of them are going to help you.

01:45:16.000 You should figure out who you are.

01:45:18.000 But the thing about what you're saying that rings really true is that a lot of people grossly overestimate what they're capable of doing or how good they're doing something.

01:45:18.000 Yeah.

01:45:27.000 And a lot of that is if you get famous, then you have a bunch of yes men around you, a bunch of people kissing your ass, and the stuff that you're putting out is not the best.

01:45:37.000 It's not what you're capable of.

01:45:39.000 You have to know how to tell the line between confidence and just like cockiness.

01:45:44.000 Most great people that I know kind of hate what they do.

01:45:47.000 Not hate what they do and that they don't love it, but they're very self-critical.

01:45:51.000 I think it's one of the ways that allows you to objectively analyze what you're doing.

01:45:57.000 And you have to make this battle between you don't want to kill your own confidence, but you don't want to be overconfident.

01:46:02.000 And you kind of have to be hyper-critical about your own work because if you don't, you're never going to get it to where it needs to be.

01:46:09.000 But then you also have to realize at one point in time, you're too close to it to see it the way other people are going to see it.

01:46:15.000 If I'm working on a bit for like three or four months, right?

01:46:18.000 And it's like frustrating and I'm twisting it around, I'm adding to it and subtracting and I'm trying to make it right.

01:46:24.000 Like sometimes you're so close to it that you don't even know that it's funny anymore.

01:46:30.000 And you don't want to lose that enthusiasm for the bit either.

01:46:34.000 So there's this balancing act for like paying so much attention to it that you hate it, but then falling in love with the idea again before you do it on stage.

01:46:44.000 Treating it as if it was new.

01:46:47.000 Yeah.

01:46:48.000 Treating it as if it was new.

01:46:50.000 That's hard for people.

01:46:53.000 That's the dance because the worst thing is seeing a comic on stage that's bored with doing stand-up.

01:46:59.000 Yeah.

01:46:59.000 Oh my God.

01:47:01.000 Or people seeing people complain before they go up.

01:47:04.000 Can't believe we have to do a second show tonight.

01:47:06.000 Like, what the fuck are you talking about?

01:47:08.000 You could be working in a bakery somewhere in front of a fucking hot oven, sweating your dick off.

01:47:15.000 You could be a logger.

01:47:16.000 Yeah, you could be a logger getting abducted by aliens.

01:47:18.000 You could be doing some terrible fucking job that sucks.

01:47:21.000 Instead, you have literally the greatest job in the world.

01:47:23.000 And you're complaining, you have to do it again.

01:47:25.000 Got to reset your brain, reset your approach, and treat it like you love it again.

01:47:30.000 For anybody who's been to my shows and has not liked the crowd work, I'm sorry for that, but I'm having fun with it.

01:47:38.000 And I think the majority of the audience is having fun with it, especially the ones that I'm fucking with that are like talking to, you know?

01:47:44.000 Do people complain that you're doing crowd work?

01:47:47.000 Well, I've had a couple messages over the summer where they're just like, hey, man, you did a few jokes and then you just were talking to the crowd the whole time.

01:47:53.000 It's like, but the thing is that it's fun.

01:47:56.000 And I don't want to complain about my job because it's either that or you watch me open mic it or do rehearsed jokes.

01:48:05.000 And it's true. 0.56

01:48:06.000 You can tell when a comedian is not enjoying their job.

01:48:09.000 And you hear comedians talk about it.

01:48:10.000 They're like, oh man, I was doing that joke.

01:48:12.000 And then one day it just stopped working.

01:48:14.000 And it's like, yeah, because people probably can tell where you're just not feeling it anymore.

01:48:21.000 You're forcing the joke maybe.

01:48:22.000 And I don't want to go up there and force jokes.

01:48:24.000 And I don't want to complain about my job because my job is fun.

01:48:28.000 Like, I'm beyond blessed to have this fucking job.

01:48:30.000 But it's fun if it, like, I feel like comedy works when you're present in the moment.

01:48:37.000 Yeah.

01:48:38.000 You know what I mean?

01:48:38.000 If I go up there and I try to force something and I'm just like, nah, like, I'm the same old ralph from six years ago.

01:48:44.000 Let me do the same old jokes.

01:48:45.000 You know what I mean?

01:48:45.000 Like, people are going to tell.

01:48:47.000 You know what I mean?

01:48:48.000 So, like, right now I'm having a lot of, not that I'm going to keep just only doing crowd work, but I would do very minimal crowdwork before.

01:48:56.000 Like, I'd go on stage and I might do like fucking five minutes tops.

01:49:00.000 Whereas now I might do like 20, 30 minutes of it.

01:49:04.000 But if it's fun, it's fun.

01:49:06.000 Like, it's like with the Porsches and then the dude who was a Japanese dude who's like shaping them up. 0.99

01:49:11.000 Like people might get mad, but like, if it's cool, it's cool.

01:49:14.000 I feel like comedy's like that too.

01:49:16.000 If you're having fun, that's what's important.

01:49:16.000 Like, people are.

01:49:19.000 As long as the audience is laughing.

01:49:20.000 If some people aren't enjoying it, well, they won't go to see you again.

01:49:23.000 That too.

01:49:24.000 And it's not like I'm going up there and like fucking like I'm having fun, but 90% of the audience is like, this is horrible.

01:49:31.000 Like, nah, like, I'm pretty sure they're laughing.

01:49:34.000 You know what I mean?

01:49:35.000 I just do feel a little bit of like, damn.

01:49:37.000 Some people don't like crowd work.

01:49:39.000 Yeah.

01:49:39.000 Some people don't.

01:49:40.000 Yeah.

01:49:40.000 Some people just want to hear jokes.

01:49:42.000 If I have 100 people at my show and like three of them don't like it though, that does fuck with me.

01:49:46.000 I'm just like, fuck.

01:49:47.000 Those are the ones that are going to comment too.

01:49:48.000 Yeah.

01:49:49.000 The ones that don't like it.

01:49:50.000 Fucking people, man.

01:49:51.000 Are more likely to comment.

01:49:52.000 I let them down.

01:49:54.000 Well, you can't really listen.

01:49:57.000 You got to know, right?

01:49:58.000 Everyone has to know.

01:49:59.000 And the worst thing is when you don't know, like if you have a bad show and you think it was good.

01:50:03.000 We've all known guys like that, especially in the beginning.

01:50:05.000 They thought they did well.

01:50:06.000 You're like, bro, I'd kill myself if I had that set.

01:50:08.000 That's ridiculous.

01:50:09.000 Like, you think that was good?

01:50:09.000 Yeah.

01:50:10.000 This is terrible.

01:50:12.000 People get delusional.

01:50:13.000 That's a fact.

01:50:15.000 But, you know, you just got to be able to self-assess.

01:50:18.000 Yeah.

01:50:19.000 You know, and if you're self-assessing, you can't read the comments because it's just going to get in your head and it's going to distract you from thinking about new things.

01:50:27.000 The amount of attention that you spend paying attention to other people's opinions is attention that you could be spending improving what you're doing.

01:50:34.000 As long as you're aware of what's good and what's not good.

01:50:38.000 But sometimes you do get too close to it.

01:50:40.000 Sometimes you need friends to help you out.

01:50:42.000 Sometimes you need, that's one of the great things about having a club like the Mothership or the Comedy Store with a bunch of comics around.

01:50:49.000 You could say, I got this bit.

01:50:51.000 It's fucking, I'm stuck.

01:50:52.000 I'm stuck with this.

01:50:53.000 And then some will say, do you still do it when you say this?

01:50:56.000 And you go, no, I don't do that anymore.

01:50:58.000 That was a big part of it, man.

01:50:59.000 I'm like, you think?

01:50:59.000 You got to say that.

01:51:00.000 I thought I could edit that out.

01:51:02.000 Like, no, no, no.

01:51:03.000 That makes it better because it sets it up for later.

01:51:05.000 Like, oh, and then you go out and try it that way.

01:51:06.000 And you're like, oh, shit, he was right.

01:51:08.000 Yeah.

01:51:08.000 Like, sometimes you need your friends around you to tell you, like, oh, you know, maybe you're doing that bit.

01:51:14.000 You're doing it in a different way than you used to do it.

01:51:17.000 Or what if you added this?

01:51:18.000 Or have you ever thought about it from this perspective?

01:51:20.000 Like, imagine the person that's saying that.

01:51:22.000 What are they thinking?

01:51:23.000 They're saying something crazy.

01:51:24.000 What are they thinking?

01:51:25.000 Like, oh, yeah, I never thought of that way.

01:51:27.000 And then you have a whole new element of the bit.

01:51:29.000 I was touring with my buddy Renee Vaca.

01:51:31.000 He's very funny.

01:51:32.000 He's big into crowd work.

01:51:33.000 But I feel like touring with him helped me work out a few bits.

01:51:36.000 Oh, yeah?

01:51:37.000 Yeah, because I was like, man, I was worried that I'd go out there and like not be able to keep up.

01:51:43.000 You know, you want to be as funny as the funniest person on the show.

01:51:46.000 So I was like, what if I go out there and like, this fucking crowd hates me?

01:51:49.000 They like this, whatever.

01:51:50.000 But I was like, I'm going to just do what I do.

01:51:52.000 And people like him or like on his team who don't see me perform every weekend are going to talk about the parts of my set that stood out the most.

01:52:03.000 Like the best and the worst.

01:52:05.000 They will.

01:52:05.000 They'll have to.

01:52:06.000 Like you walk off stage, they're going to be like, hey, why'd you say that?

01:52:08.000 Like they're going to make fun of me if I fucking bomb.

01:52:10.000 But if I kill, they're going to be like, hey, that was funny.

01:52:12.000 Like, you know what I mean?

01:52:13.000 So I was like, I'm going to just do the fucking set.

01:52:15.000 And they'll give me notes without me asking.

01:52:18.000 Like, I'm sure they will.

01:52:19.000 And I felt like it worked.

01:52:20.000 Stuff that I was in my head, like, is this working?

01:52:23.000 Is this forced?

01:52:24.000 Like, I don't know.

01:52:25.000 I'd walk off stage and Renee would be like, why the fuck you say that? 1.00

01:52:28.000 That was fucking weird.

01:52:29.000 And I'd be like, nah, he's right.

01:52:30.000 He's right.

01:52:31.000 And then it like helped shape the bit over months, you know?

01:52:34.000 Yeah, for sure.

01:52:35.000 Having people that you bounce ideas off is huge.

01:52:38.000 And having comics that pay attention to your set and give you notes.

01:52:38.000 It's huge.

01:52:41.000 I mean, Chris Rock used to hire guys just to watch his set.

01:52:44.000 He'd hire a team of comics to sit in the back, and he would do a set at the comedy store, and then they would meet up and go over the material.

01:52:53.000 Yeah.

01:52:53.000 So they would have notes.

01:52:54.000 They'd all say, you know, I liked how you did this.

01:52:57.000 I liked how you did that.

01:52:58.000 I felt like this one was like you were a little less animated this time in the last set.

01:53:03.000 You were like a little more aggravated about it.

01:53:05.000 I think it made the bit better.

01:53:06.000 You ever tried that?

01:53:07.000 No.

01:53:08.000 No?

01:53:08.000 No, I haven't done it.

01:53:09.000 I mean, I've gotten definitely gotten notes from friends before, you know, which is great.

01:53:13.000 Like when someone will sit back and give you some taglines and shit, that's pretty dope.

01:53:17.000 I love when people do that.

01:53:18.000 But what Chris did was pretty intelligent, very intelligent.

01:53:22.000 But he got a lot of shit for it because people were like, oh, he hires writers.

01:53:26.000 I'm like, I don't think that's what he's doing.

01:53:30.000 It's not like they're writing his set.

01:53:33.000 He's writing his set and then he's bouncing it off some of the best writers in comedy.

01:53:38.000 Oh, yeah.

01:53:38.000 You know, which I think is a really good way.

01:53:41.000 He used to do it with Richard Jenny and some of his best stuff.

01:53:44.000 If you go back to like his, what I, what I believe is his best specials.

01:53:47.000 His early specials are fucking incredible.

01:53:50.000 And, you know, a lot of that was him working with Richard Jenny in that capacity.

01:53:54.000 Hey, like, when he did that bit, I think it's like a legendary bit.

01:53:57.000 Chris Rock, Bullets.

01:54:00.000 Bullets should cost five grand.

01:54:02.000 It's like there'll be no more innocent bystanders.

01:54:05.000 That's fucking hilarious.

01:54:06.000 He's got a lot of great ones.

01:54:07.000 You know, you know, a lot of bangers.

01:54:09.000 You ever hear one of those bits where you're like, I wish I would have thought of that?

01:54:12.000 One of those bits is some of my favorite all-time jokes.

01:54:12.000 Oh, yeah.

01:54:16.000 You ever hear Louis C.K. when he talks about like he's afraid of new places?

01:54:20.000 Like that's that's his biggest fear of hell is that he just won't know how things work down there.

01:54:23.000 No, I ever heard of that bit.

01:54:25.000 It's like something about like he's like, what if you're walking through hell and then like some demon comes out of a hallway and he's like, he's like makes you suck his dick.

01:54:32.000 He's like, oh, suck my dick. 0.99

01:54:33.000 And then he's like, how do you even know when a demon comes?

01:54:36.000 Like, it's like, then he comes, like, fire ants all over you.

01:54:41.000 And then he leaves, you know, and then like some other demon comes and he's like, hey, man.

01:54:44.000 He's like, you didn't have to suck that guy's dick. 0.80

01:54:46.000 Like, this is hell.

01:54:47.000 He's like, he's just some demon.

01:54:48.000 He's like, you better pace yourself.

01:54:49.000 You're here for eternity, you know?

01:54:51.000 Like, that's a joke.

01:54:53.000 I'm like, bro, I wish I would have thought of that.

01:54:54.000 Like, it's just right there.

01:54:55.000 Like, that sounds like a Louis ZK joke.

01:54:59.000 That's fucking genius.

01:55:00.000 That dude, that dude's fucking genius.

01:55:02.000 Yeah, he's great.

01:55:03.000 The fucking.

01:55:04.000 He gave me a bunch of great taglines once at the improv.

01:55:06.000 Yeah.

01:55:06.000 Sat and watched my set and had a bunch of fun lines.

01:55:10.000 That's fun to do.

01:55:11.000 Well, Louis did that a lot with Chris as well.

01:55:13.000 He did that with Chris Rock.

01:55:14.000 They were like in the same clash order?

01:55:16.000 You know, they all were doing it together in New York at the same time.

01:55:20.000 Yeah.

01:55:21.000 Hey, do you ever act?

01:55:23.000 Not anymore.

01:55:24.000 No?

01:55:25.000 No, I stopped doing that a while ago.

01:55:26.000 I don't like doing it.

01:55:28.000 I'm too busy.

01:55:29.000 I'm too busy and it's not what I mean.

01:55:31.000 I didn't mind doing it, but it's not the butterfly you want to chase.

01:55:34.000 No.

01:55:35.000 You can't chase all the butterflies.

01:55:38.000 No, it's like, it's too time-consuming.

01:55:40.000 You know, if you're acting, you're on set all day long.

01:55:42.000 You might work six days a week, 15 hours a day.

01:55:45.000 It's a lot, especially if you're doing a film.

01:55:48.000 I didn't think about that.

01:55:49.000 I did a commercial for Verizon in Spanish.

01:55:52.000 Oh, yeah.

01:55:53.000 Big thing.

01:55:54.000 Again, they should have checked my Spanish first.

01:55:56.000 That's on there.

01:55:58.000 But did people complain about your Spanish?

01:56:01.000 No.

01:56:02.000 Dude, you have no idea.

01:56:03.000 They made me talk to a dialect coach because they didn't have a problem with like it wasn't a, it wasn't an issue of like, oh, he doesn't know how to say this word or that word.

01:56:13.000 No, it was like, it was fine.

01:56:15.000 It was my accent.

01:56:16.000 They said I spoke a northern Spanish, which is, I mean, yeah, my family's from like the northern part of Mexico.

01:56:23.000 But apparently, I didn't know.

01:56:26.000 Like, I don't know.

01:56:27.000 My Spanish isn't well enough to like depict accents from different parts of Mexico.

01:56:32.000 Right.

01:56:33.000 But I guess it's the Mexican version of like country.

01:56:36.000 Oh, so you're like southern.

01:56:39.000 Yeah, but over there, it's northern.

01:56:41.000 And they don't like that.

01:56:41.000 Yeah.

01:56:42.000 They said they wanted it to be a more neutral Spanish, that they want me to sound like I'm from a city, like a big Mexico city or some shit.

01:56:49.000 So like I had to read.

01:56:51.000 We filmed all day, right?

01:56:53.000 The commercial, and there's no talking because the dialogue is all like in my mind.

01:56:58.000 Oh, I see.

01:56:59.000 And so at the end Of the day, they had me like record the lines into a microphone, and I'm just like, All right, easy money.

01:57:04.000 So, what was the difference in the way you had to pronounce the words?

01:57:07.000 Can you give me an example?

01:57:09.000 Yeah, like apparently, the way I talk, I like I had to say the words with no, like, I had to say them like, how do I explain, like, just straighter?

01:57:21.000 Like, I don't know, man.

01:57:23.000 It's like give me an example of the words.

01:57:26.000 Like, I had, like, I had to, like, I had to say, like, but I, I can't, like, it's like if you took a dude from like the fucking country, like Alabama, and you were like, you have to talk like if you were just from fucking, I don't know, Northern California, like, or where is it?

01:57:47.000 What's yeah, Northern California is a good one, right?

01:57:49.000 They don't have like a new accent, right?

01:57:51.000 It's like a more neutral, yeah, yeah.

01:57:53.000 So, it's like, it's kind of tough.

01:57:55.000 Well, it's not tough for people in America because you hear all those accents.

01:57:59.000 Well, for me, it was tough because, like, I don't live in Mexico, so I'm like, you want me to talk like people I didn't grow up around?

01:58:05.000 Like, I'm talking like all the people I grew up around, so it's like it was a little foreign to me, you know what I mean?

01:58:09.000 Yeah, I had to re-record my lines back home in Dallas, which wasn't a big deal.

01:58:16.000 I just remember talking to the dialect coach, and she's like, no, no, no, say it like this, though.

01:58:21.000 And I'm just like, I feel like I had, I know people say I talk very monotone, like very laid back, but I feel like I had to do that more in Spanish.

01:58:30.000 Like, instead of just saying, like, hey, ah, que puedes cambiartu tu plan converizen, I have to be like, aura cami tuplan converizen.

01:58:38.000 Like, I had to talk like the fucking dude at the end of a commercial who's like, subject may be very detailed.

01:58:43.000 Oh, a fast guy.

01:58:44.000 Yeah, so I could do it like fast and like no accent.

01:58:46.000 So I couldn't, I feel like I feel like I couldn't move my mouth a lot.

01:58:50.000 Like I had to just like whisper it out.

01:58:51.000 And that's when they finally liked it.

01:58:54.000 Which I, I mean, they paid me very well.

01:58:55.000 Like, shout out to Verizon.

01:58:56.000 I'm not complaining.

01:58:58.000 I just think it's funny that they were just like, and they didn't know at first because it's like different types of like Latinos working on that commercial.

01:59:06.000 It was like a Puerto Rican dude and Venezuelan dude.

01:59:08.000 You know what I mean?

01:59:09.000 So it took the Mexicans to recognize the difference in these.

01:59:13.000 The girl who was like the costume designer or whatever, she was just like, hey, this dude talks country as hell.

01:59:18.000 Everybody's like, what?

01:59:20.000 She was like, I better not let him talk like that.

01:59:23.000 She was cool as hell.

01:59:24.000 I loved her.

01:59:25.000 But in my mind, I was like, motherfucker, like, that's funny.

01:59:27.000 They probably would have released that and people would have got mad then.

01:59:30.000 I don't think so.

01:59:31.000 I think I feel like maybe people from my part of Mexico would have been like, hell yeah.

01:59:35.000 Right.

01:59:36.000 That's us.

01:59:36.000 We feel represented.

01:59:37.000 Right.

01:59:38.000 Like, if you had something in America and you had someone talking in a Texas accent, no one would care.

01:59:42.000 Yeah, you wouldn't.

01:59:43.000 Yeah.

01:59:44.000 You'd just be like, all right, fuck it.

01:59:45.000 Maybe they just know the Mexican market different, though.

01:59:48.000 Yeah, I guess because they want to make sure they appeal to like all sorts of Latinos.

01:59:52.000 And I don't know, maybe a Puerto Rican dude would hear that and be like, the fuck is this goofy ass dude saying?

01:59:58.000 Have you ever thought about doing shows in all Spanish?

02:00:01.000 Yeah, I would like to break into that.

02:00:04.000 Tom Segura's done a bunch of those.

02:00:05.000 Bro, I saw him in Spanish.

02:00:07.000 He was hilarious.

02:00:08.000 I've never seen Tom perform in English.

02:00:09.000 I've only seen his specials or on YouTube.

02:00:12.000 But when I saw him in Spanish live, I was like, bro, he's got fluent Spanish.

02:00:17.000 And most people don't know that, which is funny because he's had people talk shit in Spanish around him because he looks like a regular white guy.

02:00:23.000 Yeah.

02:00:24.000 He's not.

02:00:24.000 He spent his summers in Peru or something like that, right?

02:00:27.000 Growing up.

02:00:27.000 I mean, he's fluent.

02:00:29.000 I mean, he could do shows in Spanish.

02:00:31.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:00:32.000 He told the story about a German prostitute or something like that.

02:00:35.000 I can't remember.

02:00:37.000 All I remember was thinking, like, man, this dude's like fucking doing Master Kung Fu up there.

02:00:41.000 It is Master Kung Fu if you can kill in two different languages. 0.97

02:00:44.000 That's pretty wild.

02:00:45.000 Yeah.

02:00:46.000 There's not a lot of humans.

02:00:47.000 It's like tiger style versus fucking crane or whatever.

02:00:50.000 Like, what percentage of comics can kill in two languages?

02:00:54.000 It's got to be the smallest percent.

02:00:56.000 I mean, it's probably a handful in the whole world.

02:00:59.000 I want to film a special like in Japan, but I want to do it like just to fucking troll comics like in the States.

02:01:08.000 Where like I don't want people to know that it wasn't a real special.

02:01:12.000 Like I want maybe just a promo for a special and it's just me in Japan, but killing it in front of a Japanese audience, but I'm not speaking Japanese at all.

02:01:23.000 Like I'm just doing the same English jokes.

02:01:26.000 And I want to promote it as if I recorded it over like a Japanese Tour and just everybody wondered, like, what the fuck?

02:01:34.000 Like, was it English-speaking Japanese people?

02:01:37.000 Well, you just gave it up already, so it's not going to work now.

02:01:40.000 I'll still fuck with the people who don't listen to your podcast.

02:01:45.000 They'll find this recording.

02:01:47.000 They'll go back and find it.

02:01:48.000 He was planning on trolling us.

02:01:50.000 Why would we go another way?

02:01:51.000 Why is that even interesting to you?

02:01:52.000 Why do you want to do that?

02:01:53.000 I just think it's funnier to fuck with people.

02:01:56.000 I just think it would make me laugh to watch a trailer for a special where I'm just like killing in Japan. 0.63

02:02:02.000 Yeah, like to people who have no idea what I'm saying.

02:02:05.000 But like, I want people to wonder, like, did they know?

02:02:07.000 Was there a translator or something?

02:02:09.000 Well, a lot of people in Japan speak English.

02:02:11.000 You probably could do shows over there.

02:02:13.000 And there's a lot of expats over there.

02:02:14.000 Like, if you wanted to do a show in Japan, you'd probably have a lot of expats and British people.

02:02:20.000 Expats, people that left America and live in Japan. 0.77

02:02:23.000 There's a lot of those.

02:02:24.000 It's really cheap to move to Japan.

02:02:26.000 They're actually encouraging people to move to Japan.

02:02:29.000 Bro, I saw a YouTube video on that.

02:02:30.000 This dude, I think he moved from like LA or somewhere in California, and for like 110 grand, he got like an acre and a half or something like that or more, maybe.

02:02:39.000 Well, Japan is experiencing population collapse.

02:02:42.000 What?

02:02:43.000 Yeah.

02:02:44.000 They're not having kids at a replacement rate.

02:02:48.000 So replacement rate means like if there's two parents, you should have like three or more kids.

02:02:54.000 Like if you're trying to replace the people that are here, when you think about how many people are going to die of old age, how many people are going to die, how many people are going to live, how has the population sustained itself over the course of the next X amount of generations?

02:03:08.000 Well, you have to have a high replacement rate.

02:03:10.000 And right now, Japan has a very low replacement rate.

02:03:13.000 Like it's spooky low.

02:03:14.000 We're at the point where they're in a panic and they're trying to figure out how to encourage people to move to Japan, how to get people in Japan to have kids.

02:03:24.000 Oh, because there's like a lot of insults, though.

02:03:28.000 That's what it is.

02:03:30.000 No, but I'm saying it's like they're, I mean, that's got to be kind of scary because if they're not replacing people, that means like fucking jobs won't get not just jobs.

02:03:40.000 The country's going to go on.

02:03:41.000 There won't be any people left.

02:03:43.000 What do you mean?

02:03:45.000 I mean, there would just be way less people, but it's not like they're going to all disappear.

02:03:48.000 Well, they'll all die off.

02:03:49.000 And if they don't have kids.

02:03:51.000 I'm worried about like who's going to fucking farm and take care of the animals and shit.

02:03:56.000 Yeah, well, there's going to be less of that, too.

02:03:57.000 But they're probably the people that will have kids is the farmers and the rural people.

02:04:02.000 But what is Japan's replacement rate?

02:04:04.000 It's very low, right, James?

02:04:05.000 Our replacement rate.

02:04:06.000 We're all right, right?

02:04:07.000 We're knocking like crazy.

02:04:09.000 A little weird, too.

02:04:10.000 Yeah.

02:04:11.000 Yeah, we're in a weird situation, too.

02:04:13.000 I feel like.

02:04:15.000 I've got their girlfriends already.

02:04:16.000 Well, that's good.

02:04:17.000 That's nice.

02:04:18.000 There's a lot of people here, and there's a lot more people aren't having kids than ever before.

02:04:24.000 It's different.

02:04:25.000 We're not in danger, but like South Korea is in danger.

02:04:28.000 Like South Korea, their replacement rate is really bad. 0.96

02:04:31.000 Yeah, I think it's something crazy.

02:04:33.000 Like how many people that are alive today will have grandchildren, and it's very small.

02:04:40.000 Fuck, man.

02:04:41.000 Yeah.

02:04:42.000 But you don't think about it that way because you just look at all the people that are there right now, right?

02:04:46.000 If you're in Japan, you see all this traffic, like, oh, their population's fine. 0.99

02:04:49.000 If you go to Korea, look at all the people.

02:04:51.000 But the reality is these are people that are alive now because the baby boomers, then Generation X, and then people were still having kids, but the amount of people that are having kids right now is lower than it's ever been.

02:05:04.000 So how do we fix that?

02:05:06.000 It's hard because you're going to have to make people attracted to each other.

02:05:09.000 And some people just aren't attractive.

02:05:11.000 Some people put no effort into that.

02:05:12.000 Some people are social outcasts and they've lived their life that way.

02:05:16.000 So Japan's population is shrinking.

02:05:18.000 Here's what it means and what some are doing about it.

02:05:23.000 So Japan may have the longest national life expectancy, about 85 years, and the world's largest city, Tokyo, but the nation's population has been in decline for 15 years.

02:05:32.000 Last year, more than two people died for every baby born, a net loss of almost a million people.

02:05:38.000 And now the island nation is on pace to shrink in half by this century's end.

02:05:43.000 Diminishing population is Japan's most urgent problem, says Taro Kono, longtime high-ranking minister of Japan's parliament.

02:05:50.000 Kono, nearly elected prime minister in 2021, said he intends to seek the highest office again and believes the country should prioritize combating the population Decline.

02:06:01.000 It's a giant issue.

02:06:02.000 There are less and less number of younger generation.

02:06:05.000 All the burdens are on the young generation, and they won't be able to sustain.

02:06:08.000 So our society is going to be breaking up.

02:06:10.000 Economy is just going to stagnate.

02:06:13.000 Pretty nuts, man.

02:06:15.000 Japan's military recruited only half the people it needed.

02:06:19.000 There's a labor shortage in every industry, including the government.

02:06:25.000 Bless you.

02:06:26.000 Thank you.

02:06:27.000 Crazy, right?

02:06:28.000 It's crazy that the cure to this is just like, don't pull out.

02:06:34.000 Well, not just don't pull out, but actually raise your children.

02:06:37.000 Yeah, that too, you know.

02:06:38.000 And have a bunch.

02:06:39.000 Yeah, I have like, that's why Elon has like 19 kids.

02:06:42.000 He does?

02:06:43.000 He's got a ton of them.

02:06:44.000 But I think you're supposed to take care of the kids.

02:06:46.000 You're supposed to be around them all the time.

02:06:47.000 How are you going to do that if you have 19?

02:06:49.000 Yeah, it's like a little village.

02:06:51.000 Yeah, that's a lot of people.

02:06:53.000 Kondo says he's one of thousands of Japanese in monogamous romantic relationships with fictional characters.

02:06:59.000 What?

02:07:00.000 That's the guy?

02:07:01.000 No, no.

02:07:02.000 Who's that?

02:07:03.000 Oh, that's this guy.

02:07:04.000 That guy.

02:07:04.000 That guy's in a.

02:07:06.000 Oh, yeah, he looks like he needs to be in a romantic.

02:07:09.000 He married an anime character in a formal ceremony in 2018.

02:07:14.000 Oh, Christ.

02:07:16.000 Animes was fucking it up.

02:07:18.000 Look at this dude, man.

02:07:19.000 He's in a monogamous relationship with fictional characters.

02:07:22.000 Almost half of Japan's millennial signal singles, age 18, 34, self-report as virgins.

02:07:30.000 What the fuck?

02:07:32.000 Compared to barely 20% in the U.S., that's a lot in the U.S. There's 20% 34-year-old virgins. 0.99

02:07:39.000 That's crazy.

02:07:40.000 Oh, self-reported.

02:07:42.000 They might be lying.

02:07:42.000 Right.

02:07:43.000 Lying host. 0.90

02:07:44.000 How many of them are ladies? 1.00

02:07:46.000 How many of them are ladies with body count? 1.00

02:07:48.000 Bro, but here's the thing: it's like, fuck, man.

02:07:51.000 Why?

02:07:53.000 This sounds like the plot of a funny movie.

02:07:57.000 We got to make these guys get laid, you know?

02:08:00.000 But they're out here fucking getting in relationships with anime characters.

02:08:03.000 It's like, do we want that guy to have more kids?

02:08:04.000 You know what I mean?

02:08:05.000 That's a good point.

02:08:06.000 That's a good point.

02:08:06.000 And what girl's going to want to be burdened down with that guy as your provider?

02:08:10.000 And also, you're going to have to have sex with him. 1.00

02:08:13.000 You're not going to be attracted to that.

02:08:14.000 What Japan should do is they should outsource.

02:08:17.000 They're doing that too.

02:08:18.000 Yeah.

02:08:18.000 Yeah, they're bringing in a lot of people from other countries.

02:08:20.000 They got to bring in people to train these guys.

02:08:24.000 Oh, to train them.

02:08:25.000 Yeah.

02:08:26.000 I got douchey friends who are like on dating apps and shit, and they're fucking, they're just sleazy.

02:08:31.000 You know what I mean?

02:08:31.000 They're out here trying to go out and dates like every fucking night with girls.

02:08:34.000 Send these guys over there.

02:08:36.000 We pay them a handsome price and we get them to make their like hinge profiles for them and just fucking lie.

02:08:42.000 What is this, Jeremy?

02:08:42.000 What are you showing me?

02:08:43.000 A village in Japan that has a bunch of puppets around.

02:08:47.000 What?

02:08:49.000 Because of population decline?

02:08:51.000 Yeah.

02:08:51.000 Oh.

02:08:52.000 And it makes you feel like they're surrounded by people.

02:08:54.000 I don't know.

02:08:55.000 Oh, my God.

02:08:56.000 To combat its loneliness, creating color for mannequins resembling their loved ones.

02:09:02.000 What?

02:09:03.000 That's depressing.

02:09:05.000 Mimicking the vibrant life.

02:09:08.000 So they have dolls everywhere mimicking the people because they're in such population decline.

02:09:14.000 There's fucking people in Japan who hate like tourism.

02:09:18.000 Motherfucker, you need me out there.

02:09:21.000 Yeah.

02:09:22.000 Well, there's people that were the grandchildren, the people that survived the bombs.

02:09:27.000 Oh, that wasn't me.

02:09:28.000 I was Oppenheimer.

02:09:29.000 A bunch of old white dudes, you know? 1.00

02:09:31.000 Yeah, I wasn't there.

02:09:32.000 Come on.

02:09:32.000 Yeah.

02:09:33.000 My grandpa was in Mexico doing, you know what?

02:09:36.000 Creating two families so that we don't have your problems.

02:09:39.000 There you go.

02:09:41.000 I have an uncle that my mom found on Facebook when I was in high school.

02:09:45.000 It's like, you know, one of my grandpa's.

02:09:48.000 I know it's like a bad way to put it.

02:09:50.000 And I love my uncle, but he's like one of his bastard children.

02:09:52.000 You know what I mean?

02:09:53.000 Yeah.

02:09:54.000 And I just thought, I don't know.

02:09:56.000 It was always hilarious to me that my mom just found this dude and like brought him over.

02:10:03.000 And my grandpa was just like, hey, like, how you been?

02:10:06.000 Because my grandpa apparently used to go check up on him from time to time.

02:10:09.000 But it's just so funny to me that my grandpa, like, nothing ever happened.

02:10:09.000 Wow.

02:10:13.000 Like, oh, yeah, I didn't tell you guys.

02:10:14.000 Like, those are his vibes.

02:10:16.000 You know what I mean?

02:10:18.000 We all went to a baseball game together.

02:10:20.000 Wow.

02:10:22.000 How weird was that?

02:10:23.000 I didn't think that.

02:10:24.000 Did you feel sad for him?

02:10:26.000 Nah.

02:10:26.000 I thought it was cool.

02:10:28.000 I don't think he Needed my grandpa.

02:10:32.000 Like, I think he grew up with a father figure, like a stepdad or something.

02:10:36.000 So, I don't think it was like, oh, my dad.

02:10:39.000 You know, I think he was kind of, he probably, I mean, I don't know what all his emotions were.

02:10:43.000 I imagine that's hell, you know, beneath.

02:10:45.000 But, like, on the outside, he was just very nice to me.

02:10:49.000 And, like, he's, he's cool with my mom.

02:10:50.000 He's cool with my uncle.

02:10:52.000 I think, I think for him, he, I will say this: for me, he was the first relative that I, on my mom's side, that I felt like I really related to.

02:11:05.000 He's the only one on my mom's side that looks like me, too.

02:11:08.000 Wow.

02:11:09.000 And my mom, my uncle, my cousins, they're all like tough.

02:11:16.000 Like, I've seen them all been questioned by police in handcuffs and they don't break.

02:11:20.000 And, like, even my mom, and I'm, I'm sitting there, like, whispering to my mom, like, just snitch, just snitch.

02:11:25.000 Like, say something.

02:11:26.000 Like, my mom, like, I've seen that, you know, and like then I meet my uncle.

02:11:33.000 He has like this kind of like, hey, let's look at the glass half full, like, more sensitive type.

02:11:39.000 And I'm like, that's my guy.

02:11:41.000 Like, me and this dude, Click.

02:11:43.000 He's a teacher.

02:11:45.000 He's, yeah, he's such cool people.

02:11:47.000 I just thought it was hilarious that my grandpa never like, I don't know if you apologize to him, but like, to my grandpa, it was just like, hey, look, look what ended up happening.

02:11:58.000 The whole family's together.

02:11:59.000 And it's like, bro, you hit a kid from your other kids for like years.

02:12:03.000 Like, these are all grown adults in their 30s now.

02:12:06.000 Wow.

02:12:07.000 And my grandpa even, I remember my grandpa telling my uncle, he's like, yeah, don't you remember?

02:12:14.000 He's like, oh, you were in karate.

02:12:16.000 He's like, I used to go down there and stay with you every now and then.

02:12:20.000 He's like, and you were showing me what you learned in karate.

02:12:22.000 You were like 12 or something.

02:12:24.000 And he's just like, no, I don't remember that.

02:12:27.000 But like my uncle and my other uncle and my mom are listening to this story.

02:12:31.000 And I imagine in their minds, they're just like, what the fuck?

02:12:34.000 Like, so that weekend that you were gone for like work, like, that's what you were doing?

02:12:38.000 Like, going to see your other kids karate?

02:12:40.000 Yeah.

02:12:41.000 But my grandpa, like, he never really talked if he did anything wrong, which I thought was hilarious.

02:12:46.000 It has to be traumatizing for my, you know, my mom and my uncle and stuff.

02:12:50.000 People were different back in those days.

02:12:52.000 Yeah.

02:12:53.000 For sure.

02:12:54.000 When life is harder, people are less sensitive.

02:12:57.000 Oh, yeah.

02:12:58.000 For sure.

02:12:58.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:12:59.000 When you go back to your grandpa's days or my grandpa's days, it's a different world.

02:13:06.000 Plus, you know, you got to realize those people were dealing with.

02:13:09.000 That was like, what year was this?

02:13:12.000 What?

02:13:13.000 When my grandpa was having these kids?

02:13:15.000 It's like 80s.

02:13:16.000 Yeah.

02:13:17.000 Different world.

02:13:18.000 Yeah, for sure.

02:13:20.000 He told me stories.

02:13:21.000 Like, I think they put my grandpa to work when he was like seven.

02:13:23.000 Both my grandparents.

02:13:24.000 Yeah.

02:13:25.000 Like on both sides.

02:13:26.000 But harder people, man.

02:13:29.000 Like loggers.

02:13:31.000 Yeah, like loggers.

02:13:32.000 Yeah.

02:13:33.000 It's all good.

02:13:35.000 That's why I think we need to go back to maybe not like, you know, trying to conquer empires and shit, but we need to dial it back a little bit.

02:13:44.000 People need more pain.

02:13:47.000 Life is getting too leisurely.

02:13:49.000 Yeah.

02:13:50.000 When life gets too leisure, you start to, I think you start to look for like the next little issue.

02:13:58.000 The issues get smaller and smaller.

02:13:58.000 Sure.

02:14:00.000 You know what I mean?

02:14:00.000 Exactly.

02:14:01.000 Well, we're finding that in this society, for sure.

02:14:04.000 Yeah.

02:14:04.000 People concentrate on a lot of things that aren't really important because life's a little easy.

02:14:10.000 Yeah.

02:14:11.000 Nothing wakes people up like a nice attack.

02:14:13.000 Like after September 11th, let me tell you something, man.

02:14:16.000 This country, you were too young to probably remember it, but during September 11th, the country was so united.

02:14:23.000 It was so crazy.

02:14:24.000 Everybody in LA had American flags on their cars.

02:14:27.000 In LA.

02:14:28.000 In LA.

02:14:29.000 I mean, I'm talking about like 80% of the cars.

02:14:31.000 You drive down the street for the first couple of weeks, 80% of the cars had American flags on them.

02:14:35.000 It was nuts.

02:14:36.000 Everybody was united.

02:14:39.000 That's always kind of crazy to me when I hear people talk about like, because I don't go to LA too often, but I hear talk about, I hear people talk about like how LA was.

02:14:49.000 Like, like the South Park guys, I think in an interview, they were saying to be to be like punk rock in LA, you had to say you were like Republican.

02:14:59.000 Yeah.

02:15:00.000 LA trips me out, though.

02:15:01.000 I don't know.

02:15:03.000 I mean, there's stuff that fascinates me about liberals and like Republicans, maybe, because I'm not too far on either side or whatever.

02:15:10.000 But it just trips me out that there's like not that I'm like a huge patriot, but it does trip me out that like people I guess are not happy here or like not proud of it.

02:15:24.000 I used to spend my summers in Mexico.

02:15:26.000 It's like you'll appreciate a lot of American shit like that.

02:15:29.000 You know what I mean?

02:15:30.000 Yeah.

02:15:31.000 But I'm not going to go too far into this.

02:15:33.000 Well, it's what you're talking about before.

02:15:34.000 If your life is too easy, you find things to complain about.

02:15:37.000 Like, America's the worst.

02:15:39.000 Like, no, it's not the worst.

02:15:40.000 It's the best.

02:15:41.000 It's just people are fucked.

02:15:43.000 And people in other parts of the world, you give them more power and you have less control of your own life and you have less freedom, less ability to express yourself.

02:15:51.000 It's a lot fucking worse.

02:15:52.000 I'm just happy we got all this food, too.

02:15:54.000 Like, we got good food.

02:15:56.000 You ever hear about a menu like in some European country or like I saw a menu for a restaurant like in fucking Prague or something like that one time?

02:16:04.000 I'm not saying that all their food is like that.

02:16:06.000 They look fucking horrible.

02:16:07.000 They look like bland food.

02:16:09.000 And I know our food is bad and it's making us fat, but at least it's good, you know?

02:16:13.000 Like at least we have the fucking option to get fat.

02:16:16.000 The option.

02:16:17.000 The options are good.

02:16:18.000 Hell yeah.

02:16:19.000 Yeah.

02:16:21.000 Yeah, but if you live in a place where people are poor, you're going to eat bland food.

02:16:25.000 It's true.

02:16:26.000 Unless they have good spices that aren't expensive.

02:16:28.000 You eat like Indian food?

02:16:29.000 I love Indian food.

02:16:30.000 Yeah.

02:16:30.000 I can't do it.

02:16:31.000 You can't eat spicy?

02:16:32.000 I like spicy.

02:16:33.000 You like spicy Mexican?

02:16:35.000 Yeah, spicy Mexican.

02:16:36.000 Yeah.

02:16:36.000 What's wrong with spicy Indian?

02:16:38.000 What don't you like?

02:16:39.000 I mean, it tasted good.

02:16:40.000 I've only had it like twice, but both times just gave me the runs.

02:16:43.000 My stomach's not built for it.

02:16:45.000 Not built for curry?

02:16:46.000 Uh-uh.

02:16:47.000 I'm not.

02:16:49.000 And like, I don't know.

02:16:50.000 Then again, maybe it was just the people who made it.

02:16:52.000 Both times it was homemade.

02:16:53.000 Oh.

02:16:54.000 So I'm not going to say that.

02:16:55.000 Yeah, go to a good Indian restaurant.

02:16:57.000 See if you agree still.

02:16:58.000 I like sushi a lot.

02:17:00.000 That's my shit, man.

02:17:01.000 Well, you want to get the runs.

02:17:02.000 That's a good way to do it, too.

02:17:03.000 Sushi?

02:17:04.000 Oh, because it's like raw fish and shit.

02:17:04.000 Sure.

02:17:06.000 Well, you can get parasites and stuff.

02:17:07.000 I like sushi too, but there's a reality of eating raw things.

02:17:13.000 That's why pregnant women aren't supposed to eat sushi. 1.00

02:17:16.000 I fucking, I tried, what is it called?

02:17:19.000 The snails?

02:17:19.000 What do they call it?

02:17:20.000 Escargo.

02:17:21.000 Bro, I tried that for the first time.

02:17:23.000 That shit's delicious.

02:17:24.000 Yeah.

02:17:24.000 It's pretty good, right?

02:17:25.000 Who would imagine the snails taste so good?

02:17:28.000 Whoever had the boss to try that first snail, like, they were onto something.

02:17:31.000 Bro, they were poor and starving.

02:17:33.000 They probably cooked everything they could.

02:17:35.000 They probably tried everything.

02:17:37.000 That's why people eat crickets. 0.99

02:17:39.000 People are starving.

02:17:40.000 Never tried crickets.

02:17:41.000 They're good.

02:17:42.000 Yeah.

02:17:42.000 Yeah, I've had them.

02:17:43.000 I've had them in Mexico.

02:17:44.000 Yeah?

02:17:45.000 Yeah.

02:17:46.000 The fuck?

02:17:46.000 Yeah.

02:17:47.000 They fried them up and served it.

02:17:49.000 I've heard about that, but.

02:17:51.000 They had a bowl of them sitting in the hotel when we got in there.

02:17:55.000 I was like, what is this?

02:17:56.000 What the fuck?

02:17:56.000 What part of Mexico did you go to?

02:17:59.000 I think this one was Puerto Rico.

02:18:03.000 I think it was Puerto Vallarta.

02:18:05.000 I've never been out there.

02:18:06.000 I think that's where we were.

02:18:07.000 I think we were Punta Mita.

02:18:10.000 But there's a lot of people that eat bugs, man.

02:18:13.000 A lot of people eat fried bugs.

02:18:16.000 It was nuts, bro.

02:18:17.000 Dax.

02:18:17.000 Black's not bad.

02:18:18.000 They're kind of crunchy.

02:18:20.000 Yeah.

02:18:20.000 Yeah, not bad.

02:18:21.000 Cicadas, you know, when those cicadas hatch?

02:18:24.000 People eat cicadas.

02:18:24.000 Yeah.

02:18:25.000 Got a lot of those in my baked dodge.

02:18:27.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:18:27.000 I might try it.

02:18:28.000 Yeah.

02:18:29.000 Try it up.

02:18:29.000 There's a lot in the country.

02:18:30.000 There's a recipe online.

02:18:31.000 The garage door open.

02:18:32.000 They're all crazy and shit.

02:18:34.000 Fry them up.

02:18:34.000 Get those fuckers.

02:18:35.000 I don't know.

02:18:36.000 Like, my friend Ryan, yeah, he was just on the podcast recently.

02:18:36.000 I'm not kidding.

02:18:40.000 He had a big hatch, you know, because every X amount of years, they have a bunch of them emerge, and it's like crazy.

02:18:46.000 And they were everywhere.

02:18:48.000 And he baked them in the oven, I think, with teriyaki sauce.

02:18:51.000 Said they were delicious.

02:18:53.000 Do you ever take advantage of the fact?

02:18:54.000 I'll tell you that.

02:18:56.000 These crickets.

02:18:57.000 Oh, no, I couldn't eat those.

02:18:59.000 Are those cicadas too?

02:19:01.000 Are those cicadas and crickets or just cicadas?

02:19:03.000 I think it's just cicadas.

02:19:04.000 So they're on a stick.

02:19:06.000 They're on a stick like shish kebab. 0.99

02:19:08.000 Fuck that dude.

02:19:09.000 I changed my mind.

02:19:09.000 Fuck yeah, bro.

02:19:10.000 I'll get in there.

02:19:11.000 Do you realize, like, and do you ever take advantage of the fact that you hold so much power over so many people?

02:19:18.000 Like, you're Joel Rogan.

02:19:20.000 If you told somebody right now, like, if you eat fucking gum off the floor, it's twice as nutritious as, like, a steak.

02:19:26.000 Like, people that once will believe you.

02:19:29.000 No, they only Believe you if you lie to them once.

02:19:32.000 They'll believe you that time.

02:19:33.000 And then every time after that, they'll never believe you.

02:19:35.000 Have you ever tried to fuck with anybody?

02:19:37.000 No?

02:19:37.000 No.

02:19:39.000 With great power comes great responsibility, Ralph Barbosa.

02:19:42.000 If I was you, I'd be lying to people all the fucking time.

02:19:44.000 You probably would.

02:19:45.000 Yeah.

02:19:46.000 You probably would.

02:19:47.000 I'd be like, STDs are a myth.

02:19:49.000 People would just stop using condoms.

02:19:51.000 And then I'd fix Japan's population problem, you know? 1.00

02:19:54.000 Well, you just need to send some horny dudes over there. 1.00

02:19:57.000 Get things going.

02:19:58.000 They're going to have to do something, though.

02:20:00.000 They're importing humans. 1.00

02:20:01.000 They're asking people to move there.

02:20:03.000 I might move there.

02:20:05.000 Very beautiful place.

02:20:06.000 Beautiful, safe, peaceful.

02:20:09.000 If they say people are real quiet, though, that kind of scares me.

02:20:11.000 Because I'm quiet, but I'm afraid to be the loud guy now.

02:20:14.000 You will definitely be the loud guy in Japan. 0.95

02:20:17.000 Yeah.

02:20:17.000 They're real quiet.

02:20:18.000 And they're super orderly.

02:20:19.000 When they walk down the street, they don't bump into each other.

02:20:21.000 They move around each other.

02:20:22.000 Everyone's really polite.

02:20:24.000 Everything's super clean.

02:20:25.000 Like, you go through Tokyo, big, beautiful city.

02:20:28.000 No garbage on the ground.

02:20:28.000 Everything's clean.

02:20:30.000 No pollution for sure.

02:20:31.000 But I mean, no, just garbage, trash.

02:20:36.000 They live pretty compact, don't they?

02:20:38.000 In the city, actually.

02:20:39.000 In the city.

02:20:39.000 Well, they do in New York City, too, you know?

02:20:41.000 Yeah, dude.

02:20:42.000 I don't know if I stayed in New York for like two, three months.

02:20:46.000 It's not my jam.

02:20:48.000 I like it, but after that, like two, three, it was like two months maybe.

02:20:53.000 I was like, all right, I need to go back to where there's like fucking space.

02:20:56.000 Yeah.

02:20:58.000 Even when I lived in New York, I didn't live in New York City.

02:21:00.000 I couldn't afford it.

02:21:03.000 I had to have a car back then because I was doing road gigs.

02:21:06.000 So I would have had to get a parking spot at a garage in New York City.

02:21:12.000 So you have to pay.

02:21:13.000 And they could be hundreds of dollars back then a month, probably now thousands of dollars a month that I just didn't have.

02:21:20.000 So in order for me to, and also the apartments in New York were so much more expensive than where I was.

02:21:25.000 I lived in New Rochelle, which is, you know, a half hour plus outside of New York City.

02:21:31.000 I don't even know that.

02:21:31.000 It's just a regular suburban neighborhood, but it was great.

02:21:35.000 I had a little driveway.

02:21:36.000 I could park my car in my driveway.

02:21:37.000 It was golden.

02:21:38.000 It was perfect.

02:21:39.000 My favorite wings are in New York on the Upper East Side.

02:21:43.000 There's a place called International Wing Factory, which I think is a crazy name, International Wing Factory.

02:21:50.000 There's only two tables in there.

02:21:52.000 You can fit four people in that restaurant.

02:21:54.000 But the wings, the Nashville Hot Wings, they're so fucking good.

02:21:58.000 Well, New York has an insane number of great restaurants.

02:22:02.000 That's one good thing about living in New York City.

02:22:04.000 If you're a person who likes to go out to dinner and you live in New York City, you can go to a different place every night of the week for years.

02:22:11.000 And you have some of the best restaurants on earth.

02:22:13.000 I don't know what the math is on this, but if you have so many good restaurants.

02:22:17.000 Yeah, that's the spot.

02:22:18.000 Two tables.

02:22:18.000 And they play techno a lot.

02:22:21.000 Yeah.

02:22:22.000 No, it's a great place to eat.

02:22:23.000 I just don't think it's good for your brain to be surrounded by that many people all the time.

02:22:28.000 One thing they have, though, that's nice is the park.

02:22:31.000 Central Park is incredible.

02:22:33.000 If you live in the city, you could actually be in nature.

02:22:37.000 You say you don't think it's good for there to be a lot of people around you?

02:22:40.000 I don't think stacked up like that on top of each other is normal for people.

02:22:44.000 I don't think your brain is designed to operate like that.

02:22:48.000 Just be constantly surrounded by people you don't even know all the time.

02:22:52.000 That's very unusual in human history.

02:22:54.000 Like most people knew everyone around them up until X amount of thousands of years ago.

02:22:59.000 We're kind of designed to be in tribal environments where we understand what our environment is and who's around us and what's our community.

02:23:07.000 You know, I have a friend like my friend Jim Norton who lives in New York City.

02:23:10.000 He was telling me, he's like, I live in this giant apartment.

02:23:13.000 I don't know anybody in it.

02:23:15.000 He goes, I don't know who my neighbor is.

02:23:17.000 I don't know anybody.

02:23:18.000 He goes, which is kind of crazy because you think about it, you're in a building.

02:23:21.000 You share a building with hundreds of people.

02:23:25.000 They're in every direction of you.

02:23:26.000 All around you.

02:23:27.000 You don't know any of them.

02:23:28.000 I just think it takes away a sense of community, which is weird because you would think the more people, the more community.

02:23:37.000 But it doesn't work like that.

02:23:39.000 When you have too many people, I think oftentimes you don't value them because there's too many of them.

02:23:44.000 They become a burden.

02:23:45.000 Less importance.

02:23:46.000 Yeah.

02:23:46.000 They don't mean anything to you.

02:23:47.000 Hey, that must be why they let people just...

02:23:56.000 And everybody just kept walking around them.

02:23:58.000 I was like, well, that guy could be dead.

02:23:58.000 Yeah, they don't give a fuck.

02:24:00.000 Nobody.

02:24:01.000 Nope.

02:24:01.000 it's just another fucking day to them.

02:24:03.000 Right, if it was a small town in the middle of Oklahoma and a guy was laying down like that, it was a regular guy.

02:24:08.000 You're like, oh my god, you okay, sir?

02:24:10.000 People check in on you, they call the police.

02:24:13.000 Yeah, in the subway, that guy could be dead for a day before anybody says anything.

02:24:19.000 Also, you have to deal with schizophrenics and fucking psychotic people.

02:24:22.000 So, when you're going down to the subway, you can't stand close to the edge because people literally push people in front of trains.

02:24:28.000 Hey, well, hold on.

02:24:29.000 That brings me up.

02:24:30.000 I wanted to ask you something.

02:24:32.000 Have you ever in because I saw you have like the books on psilocybin?

02:24:36.000 I don't know you've done a lot of research on mushrooms.

02:24:39.000 Have you ever read anything about like mushrooms or other kinds of drugs being able to trigger schizophrenia in people?

02:24:51.000 Like, if it's in their genetics, they think that's the case with marijuana, especially high-dose pot, maybe, maybe edibles.

02:25:00.000 I'm not sure if they think it's more from edibles or more from just smoking it, but yeah, there's a certain amount of people that it seems like it triggers some kind of schizophrenic break.

02:25:10.000 Like, maybe they might have a tendency towards schizophrenia and something, you know, like the real crazy paranoia that you can get if you get really high.

02:25:17.000 Yeah.

02:25:18.000 For some people, that crazy paranoia hits the switch and they don't come back.

02:25:24.000 I've had my last few mushroom trips, not with weed though, but I'm trying to think if I was smoking and on shrooms.

02:25:36.000 My last few mushroom trips, I started hearing voices, but I also think it might have been like I was exhausted.

02:25:42.000 Like, my brain was just like, because I'd be awake all day, and then I'd do the mushrooms like at midnight, and then I'd be awake until like the next day, basically.

02:25:51.000 But at some point or another in the trip, usually towards the end of the trip, I'd like hear voices.

02:25:56.000 So it scared me off of mushrooms.

02:25:58.000 I haven't done them in like, I don't know how long.

02:26:00.000 But I was just, I read, I heard them.

02:26:03.000 What were the voices saying?

02:26:05.000 One of them, I remember arguing with like other versions of myself.

02:26:09.000 I was talking like loud.

02:26:10.000 Like, on one of them, it was a really bad trip, though.

02:26:13.000 I ate like somewhere north of like seven or eight grams.

02:26:18.000 And that one was bad.

02:26:19.000 I kept blacking out.

02:26:22.000 But on that trip, I argued with like two other voices, which I'm pretty sure were like other versions of myself, which was me.

02:26:30.000 Me was me, me, like the balanced one, more balanced one.

02:26:35.000 And then I had like this other one that was like a very like angry version of myself, very much like a, like, like, like, shut the fuck up, stop complaining type.

02:26:45.000 And then I had like a very like sensitive little bitch version of myself. 0.87

02:26:49.000 I felt like they were all three arguing, and I was just like arguing back.

02:26:54.000 Out loud.

02:26:56.000 Was there anybody around you?

02:26:58.000 No.

02:26:59.000 That's good.

02:27:00.000 I was in a hotel room by myself.

02:27:01.000 Jeez.

02:27:03.000 I fucked that hotel room.

02:27:03.000 Yeah.

02:27:05.000 You took seven grams in a hotel room?

02:27:08.000 Like 90% of my trips have been in hotels.

02:27:11.000 Why?

02:27:12.000 I don't know.

02:27:13.000 I have fun.

02:27:14.000 You go out into the nature.

02:27:16.000 I've never tried that.

02:27:17.000 I've never been field.

02:27:18.000 I never tried it.

02:27:18.000 No, it's better.

02:27:19.000 It's way better.

02:27:20.000 Yeah.

02:27:20.000 I don't know.

02:27:21.000 I don't want to be like high in public.

02:27:23.000 Oh, well, that's a good point.

02:27:26.000 I've got to go somewhere in Vegas.

02:27:28.000 Go somewhere that's unpopulated.

02:27:29.000 Like, go to some national forest place.

02:27:33.000 Do it out in the place where Travis Walton got abducted.

02:27:36.000 Go down that logging road, take seven grams right at the spot.

02:27:40.000 I wonder if you could find the spot where he got abducted.

02:27:42.000 I wonder if there's a pin, like a Google pin.

02:27:45.000 Yeah.

02:27:45.000 I'd go to that, sniff the ground.

02:27:47.000 I hope I never get abducted by aliens.

02:27:49.000 Why?

02:27:50.000 I don't know.

02:27:50.000 They always bring you back.

02:27:51.000 Everybody seems to come back.

02:27:53.000 They don't steal people.

02:27:54.000 No one's going to believe me.

02:27:56.000 I know a lady whose grandfather was a famous abductee. 0.96

02:28:01.000 Like, people believe them.

02:28:03.000 Oh, yeah.

02:28:04.000 I believe him.

02:28:05.000 I don't know because he was an abductee in the 1950s.

02:28:09.000 I think it was the 50s.

02:28:10.000 Betty and Barney Hill.

02:28:12.000 I believe it was the 50s.

02:28:14.000 So Angela Hill is a UFC fighter. 0.96

02:28:17.000 And she didn't even tell me this until after the podcast.

02:28:23.000 Betty and Barney Hill.

02:28:24.000 I think there's a Flintstones.

02:28:25.000 No, no, no, that's rubble.

02:28:26.000 Oh.

02:28:26.000 Ugh.

02:28:32.000 No, this is a very famous case.

02:28:34.000 So what year was this, Jamie?

02:28:36.000 1961.

02:28:38.000 So Betty and Barney Hill were a little bit more.

02:28:38.000 61.

02:28:40.000 Wait, were they an interracial couple?

02:28:42.000 That must have been crazy for the Times, huh?

02:28:42.000 Yeah.

02:28:44.000 Crazy for the Times.

02:28:44.000 Oh, yeah.

02:28:45.000 And then on top of that, they get abducted by Aliens.

02:28:48.000 Can they catch a fucking break?

02:28:51.000 So their granddaughter is Angela.

02:28:56.000 So Angela, who fights in the UFC.

02:28:58.000 Okay.

02:28:58.000 And I didn't know about it.

02:28:59.000 Well, we did a whole podcast together.

02:29:01.000 I just want to talk to her about her career, fighting career.

02:29:03.000 At the end of the podcast, she's like, oh, my grandfather, I forgot to tell you, was Barney Hill.

02:29:08.000 I was like, what?

02:29:10.000 Because I know that case.

02:29:11.000 That's crazy coincidence.

02:29:12.000 I know that case inside and out.

02:29:13.000 It's a crazy case.

02:29:14.000 So they both came back.

02:29:17.000 They went on a trip and then they saw something in the sky and then they blacked out and lost time.

02:29:25.000 And they don't know what happened.

02:29:26.000 And they woke up on the side of the road in the car and drove, but they were missing time, like more than an hour, I think it was.

02:29:32.000 And then they started having these crazy nightmares.

02:29:35.000 So they both go to psychiatrists, and the psychiatrist or the psychologist does a hypnotic regression thing.

02:29:42.000 Like, let's try to find out what happened to you.

02:29:45.000 And they both independently have this crazy story of being taken aboard a UFO and examined by these beings.

02:29:54.000 And this is in 1961, when this was not something that people talked about.

02:29:59.000 This is like, now the problem is that whole UFO abduction, close encounters of the fourth kind, that's become a thing that everybody knows about.

02:30:08.000 Everybody knows UFOs abduct people.

02:30:10.000 But when 1961, when these people told that story, that was a completely novel thing.

02:30:15.000 Nobody had ever heard that before.

02:30:17.000 And so it was a really crazy story.

02:30:20.000 And then other people with similar stories.

02:30:23.000 What are the experiments that they conduct on this?

02:30:25.000 That's a good question.

02:30:26.000 You know, you don't know because hypnotic regression is weird.

02:30:29.000 So someone could hypnotize you and put thoughts in your head.

02:30:32.000 If they were manipulative, they could put thoughts in your head and memories in your head that didn't exist.

02:30:38.000 So someone could hypnotize you.

02:30:41.000 And if they were very skilled, they could figure out a way to get you to believe that something happened to you, especially something minor that didn't really happen.

02:30:51.000 I could hire a hypnotist.

02:30:55.000 Hypnotist to put the memory in my head that I hooked up with Margot Robbie and a fucking threesome with Scarlett Johansson.

02:31:03.000 No, that's too outside of science fiction.

02:31:06.000 That's too ridiculous.

02:31:07.000 Nobody would believe that.

02:31:09.000 But you wouldn't even believe that.

02:31:11.000 And then you'd be DMing them and then they'd have restraining orders on you.

02:31:14.000 Hey, girls, let's do that again. 1.00

02:31:16.000 That shit was fire.

02:31:19.000 No, but like, you know, you could maybe someone could put a memory in your head that you got lost at the park when you were a child and you were terrified and then the police found you and they brought you back to your parents.

02:31:32.000 Do you remember that?

02:31:33.000 You're like, no, I don't.

02:31:35.000 You probably blacked it out.

02:31:36.000 Let's try to remember that.

02:31:37.000 And they could put a fucking fake memory.

02:31:40.000 Well, there's already like a, I don't know, this is like some shit I've saw on another fucking Instagram reel.

02:31:47.000 But don't they say like a lot of our memories, like we change them each time we remember them?

02:31:51.000 Yes.

02:31:52.000 And then your memories become a memory of your recollection of the memory.

02:31:58.000 So it's like one thing that happens to your friends when they want to tell some crazy story about high school or something like that.

02:32:04.000 Over the years, that fucking story morphs and changes and shit gets added to it.

02:32:09.000 And then she's got a fucking frying pan and she's running down the street screaming. 1.00

02:32:14.000 Her tits are hanging out. 1.00

02:32:16.000 And your friend's like, what?

02:32:17.000 Where tits are hanging out? 1.00

02:32:18.000 No, no, no.

02:32:19.000 You never told it like this before.

02:32:20.000 It's like over time, stories change, you know?

02:32:23.000 Because the human memory is like, I have a very good memory, but it's also not exact, right?

02:32:29.000 Like, I don't see it in my head like I, like a film, you know?

02:32:33.000 Like, I could see the most amazing movie.

02:32:35.000 I could go see, like, a crazy movie, science fiction movie that I love.

02:32:40.000 It's incredible.

02:32:41.000 And then afterward, I don't remember everything exactly.

02:32:44.000 I can't replay that movie in my head like pressing play.

02:32:48.000 So memory is like scattered.

02:32:49.000 It's abstract.

02:32:51.000 It's a bunch of like weird flashbacks of things.

02:32:54.000 Oh, yeah, then there was that thing.

02:32:56.000 Oh, yeah, then there was that thing.

02:32:57.000 But they've shown that you can introduce memories into people's heads that aren't real.

02:33:02.000 So this is the problem.

02:33:04.000 With hypnotic regression, you have to wonder the people that are involved in like writing.

02:33:11.000 There was a book called Abduction by this guy named John Mack, who is a psychologist at Harvard, I believe.

02:33:18.000 And he did a series of these hypnotic regression things with people that have had abductions with aliens.

02:33:24.000 But he's also writing a book about that.

02:33:26.000 So, it makes you want to go, but did he want to achieve those results?

02:33:29.000 Like, how did he talk to these people?

02:33:30.000 Like, what were the questions?

02:33:32.000 Did he guide them in that way?

02:33:34.000 You know, it's like, were there independent people?

02:33:37.000 Did they speak to different hypnotic regression therapists that had different results with them?

02:33:43.000 Is it dependent upon how the person's talking to you?

02:33:46.000 Because someone's talking to you while you're in hypnosis.

02:33:49.000 It's not as simple as like you take a pill and then you remember your past.

02:33:52.000 No, someone's talking to you.

02:33:54.000 They're asking you specific kinds of questions with a specific tone, you know, and it's maybe it's a man's voice that maybe is like you feel like he's judging you, or it's a woman's voice, and it's more comforting.

02:34:08.000 Yeah, it's got to be scary, you know, to get hypnotized.

02:34:11.000 And then what if they make me talk about a memory that I didn't want to bring up?

02:34:19.000 Or what if they put something in your head, like a Manchurian candidate thing?

02:34:19.000 Right.

02:34:23.000 You know, that concept Manchurian candidate is like you hypnotize someone into you can bring them into action with like a phone call.

02:34:33.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:34:34.000 You have been activated.

02:34:36.000 Like, click.

02:34:36.000 You say like a phrase, and then and then you go, and then you go and assassinate the president or whatever it is.

02:34:42.000 Yeah, you know, that's some scary shit.

02:34:43.000 That's scary shit because I don't know how much they can actually do.

02:34:48.000 I know they've definitely done a bunch of experiments to see how much they could talk people into doing certain things, how much they could hypnotize people into certain behaviors, whether or not they can get someone to be an assassin with a phone call.

02:35:00.000 I know this sounds crazy, but I believe-I mean, not that I believe it, but I guess I like play with theories in my head.

02:35:06.000 But what if all the music that gets allowed to be on the radios and all the shows that get allowed to be on TV are like certain patterns in the music or like to the words that they say in the shows like that like brainwashes you to like do stuff that we do?

02:35:29.000 Like maybe that's what makes us like go to work and do our 40 hours a week and like respect a 30-minute lunch or something.

02:35:39.000 Like the Rowdy Roddy Piper movie, like they live with that kind of thing.

02:35:43.000 It's like that's a bad idea.

02:35:47.000 There's too many variables, like too many people that have to be working in coordination.

02:35:51.000 Everybody is in on this except for you.

02:35:54.000 All the people making the music are in on this?

02:35:57.000 No, but out of all the music that gets made, there's a lot of similarities within music.

02:36:04.000 Because there's only a certain amount of chords.

02:36:04.000 Right.

02:36:06.000 Right.

02:36:06.000 And there's a lot of genres and there's repetitive topics that people choose because they're popular.

02:36:12.000 So I don't think every hit is a hit.

02:36:15.000 Like, sometimes you hear a song on the radio and you're like, how is it going on the radio?

02:36:20.000 It sucks ass. 1.00

02:36:22.000 Right.

02:36:23.000 But maybe it hit within those chords that, like, when you hear a certain chord and it makes your mind go into like a different state, like more relaxed or more this, right?

02:36:33.000 Well, there's no way that's going to be.

02:36:35.000 Maybe they need our minds to stay in a certain state.

02:36:38.000 So they only allow certain music with certain chords or patterns to play on the radio to keep our minds going this direction.

02:36:44.000 No, Ralph.

02:36:45.000 No.

02:36:46.000 See, you would have to have a grand mastermind who's in charge of manipulating everybody all the time.

02:36:51.000 Maybe it's you.

02:36:52.000 Be able to come up with something like that.

02:36:53.000 I'm watching you tell.

02:36:56.000 I don't know, man.

02:36:58.000 I think I'm on to something here.

02:36:59.000 I think you're definitely not, and you're going to waste your time pursuing this.

02:37:02.000 I know a lot of musicians, none of them are being contracted to make certain frequencies that alter the way you behave.

02:37:09.000 You think so, Jamie?

02:37:10.000 There's something to what he's saying.

02:37:12.000 I'm going to be honest with you because there's a video going around.

02:37:14.000 I'll play it for you right now.

02:37:16.000 I think it's I might be the next Terrence Howard.

02:37:21.000 It's not.

02:37:22.000 I mean, it's similar.

02:37:24.000 So this is Charlie Pooth.

02:37:25.000 He's describing what happens after songs are like, this is in the mixing process.

02:37:29.000 Okay.

02:37:31.000 I'd emotional.

02:37:32.000 It's because the song is pitched up with a tape machine.

02:37:35.000 Back in the day, they call this sweetening the audio.

02:37:38.000 Here's what it originally sounded like.

02:37:46.000 Same thing with this song.

02:37:50.000 That is sped up, and this is what it originally sounds like.

02:37:53.000 *music*

02:37:59.000 You might be thinking to yourself right now, Charlie, why do people do this?

02:38:02.000 I will tell you, viewer, when you speed music or tones up and down, it's scientifically proven to make you feel different emotionally.

02:38:09.000 This is the tone all music is basically tuned to.

02:38:12.000 But when you pitch it higher, it brings you to the love frequency known as 528 hertz.

02:38:18.000 So when people pitch their music up, it brings the listener closer to that feeling.

02:38:23.000 I think music science is really cool.

02:38:24.000 Listen to this song.

02:38:26.000 Well, that's interesting, but that's a little bit different.

02:38:26.000 Oh, okay.

02:38:28.000 That's just like making it.

02:38:29.000 That is exactly what I was trying to say.

02:38:31.000 Oh, yeah.

02:38:34.000 That just makes you feel good.

02:38:35.000 Yeah.

02:38:35.000 There's definitely that, man.

02:38:37.000 Music is like a drug.

02:38:38.000 It's a pretty dope drug.

02:38:40.000 Look, you're proving my point even now.

02:38:42.000 No, but I mean, like it's an inspirational drug.

02:38:44.000 Yeah, but it does different things to you.

02:38:46.000 You know, that's one of the reasons why I like to mix my drugs when it comes to music.

02:38:51.000 Like my Spotify playlist, it's all scattered.

02:38:55.000 It's a bunch of different stuff.

02:38:56.000 Like you might get like Nas, and then right after Nas is Leonard Skinner.

02:39:01.000 I'm the same way.

02:39:02.000 But I feel like it's important to listen to different types of music.

02:39:07.000 Not only because it's cool to see different people's talent, like from different.

02:39:12.000 I think I can appreciate talent from any genre.

02:39:17.000 So if you hear a Leonard Skinner song, you're like, holy shit, that guy sang the shit out of that note.

02:39:23.000 Maybe I don't relate to what he's saying, but like that was fucking dope.

02:39:26.000 But I also think it helps you communicate and like connect with people from like different cultures, different backgrounds.

02:39:32.000 Yeah, for sure.

02:39:34.000 Because I listen to a lot of like a lot of rap, a lot of Spanish music, but then I listen to a lot of country as well.

02:39:40.000 But like old country, new country, I feel sometimes I feel like a lot of what I, what comes up, maybe because I don't dig into it too much, but like a lot of what comes up on my algorithm is very like modern, like pop, like more poppy.

02:39:51.000 Right.

02:39:52.000 You know what I mean?

02:39:52.000 I know what you mean.

02:39:53.000 Yeah.

02:39:54.000 Manufactured feels like.

02:39:56.000 But I do like to listen to like different types of shit because it's like, I want to know not that I necessarily want to know, but it helps me know and understand what like somebody from a totally different part of the country might like experience or like enjoy or oh yeah for sure well that's a cool thing about traveling right that's one thing that comics have that really i think helps us get a better understanding of the whole country is you you're on the road a lot so you're traveling to oh one weekend then you're in florida

02:39:56.000 Yeah.

02:40:27.000 Then you're in Michigan.

02:40:28.000 And when you do that, you get a better sense like, oh, this country varies a lot.

02:40:33.000 There's a lot of different kinds of ways to live out there.

02:40:36.000 There's also one thing that was crazy to me when I started traveling is how similar a lot of people also are.

02:40:44.000 Yeah.

02:40:44.000 Like sometimes you run into people that are like very proud of like the city they're from and like their neighborhood.

02:40:49.000 And, you know, they'll fight for it.

02:40:49.000 Yeah.

02:40:52.000 They'll fucking die for it.

02:40:53.000 And then you go to another city and it's like the same person, just a different title.
