00:00:04.000 The Joe Rogan Experience.
00:00:06.000 Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day!
00:00:12.000 I filmed a special and then I just fucking fell off.
00:00:15.000 I had a margarita at dinner once and I was like, all right, I'm back.
00:00:18.000 Yeah, that'll do it.
00:00:19.000 It's just that one.
00:00:20.000 You think, oh, let's have one.
00:00:22.000 It was nice.
00:00:23.000 I was drinking too much because owning a club there all the time, you know, how much.
00:00:29.000 Everyone's like, you want a shot?
00:00:31.000 You want a drink?
00:00:32.000 Yeah, I can imagine.
00:00:32.000 When I'm at your club, I. Get blackout drunk every time.
00:00:35.000 Like an actual problem.
00:00:36.000 Like I walk down the stairs, I'm like, what the fuck just happened?
00:00:38.000 I drink so much at the mothership.
00:00:40.000 All of a sudden, in general.
00:00:41.000 Are we on?
00:00:42.000 I think we're rolling.
00:00:42.000 Are we?
00:00:43.000 Yeah, the problem is Shane.
00:00:45.000 Oh, yeah.
00:00:46.000 He's an animal.
00:00:46.000 I don't know how he does it.
00:00:47.000 I did the Bridgestone Arena with him on Friday night.
00:00:50.000 I mean, first of all, just insane.
00:00:52.000 Like 20,000 people.
00:00:53.000 I mean, fucking.
00:00:53.000 Right.
00:00:54.000 It's nuts.
00:00:55.000 Saturday night, I did 95 people at the Dojo of Comedy.
00:00:58.000 Is that the first time you did a big one in the round?
00:01:00.000 In the round, yeah.
00:01:01.000 In the round is like oddly intimate, isn't it?
00:01:03.000 Because everyone's facing each other.
00:01:05.000 Yeah, you can.
00:01:05.000 It's pretty cool.
00:01:06.000 It feels like it's a club around you on the bottom.
00:01:08.000 You kind of like, it's so funny because people get like so in their head.
00:01:11.000 They're like, dude, it's all these people.
00:01:12.000 It's crazy.
00:01:13.000 I'm like, I perform to half sold out comedy clubs.
00:01:16.000 You know how much more nerve wracking it is to make eye contact with your fans that are disappointed that they're in a half sold out room than 20,000 people that are just there to be like, fucking Shane.
00:01:25.000 It's one of those things you just do it a couple of times and it gets normal.
00:01:29.000 Yeah.
00:01:29.000 Like all things.
00:01:30.000 I'm sure.
00:01:30.000 Yeah, like all things.
00:01:31.000 That's more fun, dude.
00:01:32.000 It is very fun.
00:01:33.000 Oh, it's so much more fun.
00:01:34.000 It's very fun.
00:01:35.000 I would, just so you guys know, I would way rather perform to 20,000 people than 100.
00:01:39.000 I just want you to know that.
00:01:40.000 I don't know if that's a unique idea, but.
00:01:42.000 Yeah, 100's good too, though, because 100 really shows you if your bits are bullshit.
00:01:47.000 You know, 100 shows you the weak links and bits.
00:01:47.000 Yeah.
00:01:51.000 You see them checking their phone.
00:01:52.000 No, it's in you feel it.
00:01:54.000 Yeah.
00:01:54.000 You feel like you're delivering them horseshit.
00:01:58.000 You know, you feel like you're not appreciating what you're saying.
00:02:02.000 You know what I mean?
00:02:02.000 Yeah.
00:02:03.000 Of course.
00:02:04.000 And I think it's also like, it's such a spectacle when you go to like an arena where it's like people are like so lit.
00:02:10.000 And pumped to just like be there.
00:02:12.000 I know.
00:02:12.000 They're so happy.
00:02:13.000 I'm so excited.
00:02:14.000 I don't know how Sabrina Carpenter just came up in my feed from Coachella, little hot child.
00:02:19.000 And she's like, that's all my algorithm is now with Sabrina Carpenter.
00:02:23.000 My daughter loves her.
00:02:24.000 I'm sure, yeah.
00:02:25.000 My girlfriend loves her.
00:02:27.000 She's got some good jams.
00:02:28.000 That espresso song, that's a really good song.
00:02:30.000 Yeah, Manchild.
00:02:31.000 She's got some songs.
00:02:32.000 That's my shit, dude.
00:02:33.000 It's become my shit.
00:02:34.000 I never heard any of her music before this past week, but the Coachella stuff has all been showing up.
00:02:39.000 And like, I'm watching these girls watch Sabrina Carpenter.
00:02:42.000 They're so happy.
00:02:43.000 They're like, nothing will.
00:02:43.000 So happy.
00:02:45.000 Like, they're like, just having the best moment of their life.
00:02:48.000 These 16 year old girls are like, fuck, it's a Brianna Carpenter.
00:02:51.000 That's why, like, people got to chill on things that they think suck.
00:02:56.000 Because it's just not for you, man.
00:02:58.000 And that's okay.
00:02:59.000 Yeah, that's okay.
00:03:00.000 Like, spending all your time dwelling on things that aren't for you is so crazy.
00:03:06.000 It's a crazy thing.
00:03:07.000 It's just wasted time.
00:03:07.000 It's internet culture.
00:03:08.000 That's what it is.
00:03:09.000 Like, the internet and social media became a thing where we gave everyone a voice, everyone has to have an opinion.
00:03:14.000 Nobody wants to admit they're wrong.
00:03:15.000 Right?
00:03:15.000 And they have to have a hot take, everything that happens within minutes.
00:03:19.000 Yep.
00:03:19.000 Not even a moment to let me reflect.
00:03:21.000 Let me just do a little bit of research.
00:03:23.000 Let me just look up a couple facts.
00:03:24.000 They just jump into whatever their opinion is.
00:03:26.000 And that's the same thing when it comes to like, you know, entertainment and, you know, all your, and you, dude, you know better than anyone.
00:03:32.000 I was talking to Jamie before, like, you and Tony have become so big that it's become like, like, it's like culture.
00:03:38.000 It's not even like, like, I know you guys, you know what I'm saying?
00:03:40.000 So it's like, it's, but it's like when I remove myself from it, it's like you guys are as big as Sabrina Carpenter, like having a conversation about Joe Rogan going to the White House.
00:03:48.000 Or Sabrina Carpenter at Coachella, that's trending shit.
00:03:51.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:03:52.000 And people feel like they have to come out and just give their opinion on it right away.
00:03:57.000 If you don't like it, don't like it.
00:03:58.000 But that's also like, if you don't want people to have their opinions on you, don't go to the White House.
00:04:06.000 You know, like I don't fault them for getting, you know, whatever, whatever hot take, getting mad at me for whatever reason, go ahead.
00:04:06.000 That's a great point.
00:04:15.000 Yeah.
00:04:16.000 That's your thing.
00:04:17.000 You're allowed to, you're supposed to.
00:04:20.000 Like, if you're a comic, too, you're supposed to shit on people if you think they're doing something stupid.
00:04:24.000 Yeah.
00:04:24.000 Do you get offended when comics shit on you?
00:04:26.000 No.
00:04:27.000 Never.
00:04:28.000 No, I mean, I'm in this weird zeitgeist thing.
00:04:31.000 I don't get offended.
00:04:32.000 Some of them I think it's lame because I think I know them.
00:04:35.000 Like, I'm friends with them.
00:04:36.000 And they're like using me to get clout.
00:04:36.000 Right.
00:04:38.000 Like, if you really had a problem with me, you could just text me.
00:04:41.000 Yeah.
00:04:42.000 You know, if you really.
00:04:43.000 Felt like I was an anti vaxxer and I was endangering people's lives.
00:04:47.000 Fucking text me, bro.
00:04:48.000 You know me.
00:04:49.000 It's weird.
00:04:49.000 Yeah.
00:04:50.000 It's weird when people do that.
00:04:51.000 And maybe they feel like an obligation, even though they know you, to speak publicly.
00:04:55.000 There's a lot of people that feel like they have to use their voice.
00:04:59.000 Like when something is wrong, they have to come out and say it, which.
00:05:02.000 It's also boredom.
00:05:04.000 I understand the inclination.
00:05:05.000 I understand the inclination.
00:05:06.000 And people will tell you that, that you need to use your voice.
00:05:09.000 And if you feel like you need to use your voice, okay.
00:05:13.000 But what I'm saying is there's far too many people out there dwelling on things they do not like.
00:05:19.000 Versus things they like.
00:05:20.000 And this life is fucking short.
00:05:24.000 I am 58 years old.
00:05:25.000 I'm almost 59.
00:05:26.000 That's dead.
00:05:27.000 That's old as fuck.
00:05:29.000 You got 20 years, best case scenario.
00:05:31.000 If everything goes great, what are those 20 years like?
00:05:31.000 Right.
00:05:33.000 I mean, I'm holding it together thanks to Ways to Well and my obsessive need to work out.
00:05:38.000 But other than that, man, I feel it.
00:05:41.000 I feel it's slipping away.
00:05:42.000 It's going to.
00:05:43.000 It's crazy.
00:05:44.000 I'm 44.
00:05:45.000 I just turned 44 a couple weeks ago.
00:05:47.000 And like, best case scenario, like, absolute best case scenario midlife.
00:05:52.000 Midlife, yeah, best.
00:05:53.000 My aunt has never worked out a day in her life, she's 89 years old.
00:05:57.000 She's just a fat old Italian lady, yeah, whatever she wants.
00:06:01.000 It's the move, it might be, dude.
00:06:02.000 Why am I so obsessed with trying to get in shape and eating right and doing all this other stuff?
00:06:06.000 My fat aunt just does whatever she wants, and she's an old Italian lady.
00:06:10.000 She's just gonna, she's as young as I've ever remembered her.
00:06:14.000 She's so with it, it's so funny to me.
00:06:16.000 I've vacationed in Italy a bunch of times, and I've gone to these little small towns.
00:06:20.000 There's always like a really nice restaurant, this little small town, you have to take like a van up into the hills.
00:06:25.000 You're on like a cliffside with no guardrail.
00:06:29.000 You get to these places and you see these people having these three and a half hour dinners.
00:06:35.000 Everyone's relaxed.
00:06:36.000 They're all laughing.
00:06:37.000 Their family's around.
00:06:40.000 There's 170 year old.
00:06:40.000 Four generations.
00:06:42.000 But no one's stressed out.
00:06:44.000 They're not all freaked out like Americans are.
00:06:47.000 They're also not fat.
00:06:50.000 These thin people.
00:06:52.000 And they're eating bread.
00:06:53.000 They're eating bread and pasta and fucking.
00:06:57.000 Gelato and I went to Italy twice.
00:07:00.000 And they lived to be a hundred.
00:07:01.000 My favorite place to visit, Italy.
00:07:04.000 I brought my son for a father son trip there years ago.
00:07:06.000 Then I just brought my whole family last year.
00:07:07.000 We went to Venice and Rome.
00:07:09.000 And yeah, dude, I have like a gluten intolerance.
00:07:13.000 Like if I eat a sandwich, I'm just going to, you'll see it on my face.
00:07:16.000 Like all I did was eat pasta, bread, gelato the whole time.
00:07:21.000 The whole time.
00:07:21.000 And you were fine.
00:07:22.000 I lost five pounds.
00:07:24.000 I was like, for a week, I lost five fucking pounds.
00:07:26.000 People are like, dude, it's the walking.
00:07:27.000 I was like, it's not the walking.
00:07:29.000 Walking does not lose five.
00:07:31.000 You don't lose weight from walking if you're a person who actively exercises.
00:07:35.000 We are being poisoned.
00:07:36.000 Yeah.
00:07:36.000 100%.
00:07:37.000 And, you know, RFK Jr. has been working really hard to try to stop a lot of what is fucking with us, with our diet in America.
00:07:46.000 God, the resistance is crazy.
00:07:49.000 Well, it's literally people decide what side they're on and they go, I don't care how good it might be.
00:07:49.000 Yeah.
00:07:55.000 You're part of Trump's cabinet.
00:07:55.000 Fuck you.
00:07:57.000 It's a little of that, but what I'm talking about is the resistance from corporations.
00:08:01.000 Oh, yeah, I'm sure.
00:08:03.000 And the effect that they have on policy.
00:08:05.000 And then the reality of economics, like here was a big one.
00:08:08.000 Like he had to pass.
00:08:13.000 So there's this thing.
00:08:15.000 Do you know what glyphosate is?
00:08:16.000 Okay.
00:08:16.000 No.
00:08:17.000 So it's an herbicide that they spray on plants.
00:08:21.000 And it's super bad for you.
00:08:23.000 It's super bad for you.
00:08:24.000 And it's banned in a lot of countries.
00:08:26.000 But it's used ubiquitously in the United States.
00:08:30.000 And there's some extraordinary number of people.
00:08:33.000 Oh, is this the process of spraying glyphosate?
00:08:34.000 On the wheat?
00:08:35.000 Is this what they're spraying on the wheat?
00:08:36.000 Exactly.
00:08:37.000 So they spray it on the wheat.
00:08:38.000 As a desiccator.
00:08:39.000 So they spray it on the wheat after the wheat has already been harvested to keep it from growing mold, which is crazy.
00:08:45.000 They're going to spray poison to make sure that life doesn't grow on your wheat.
00:08:50.000 That's really what's going on.
00:08:51.000 It's like mold is a type of life.
00:08:54.000 And they want to make sure it doesn't grow on this wheat that they're going to sell you.
00:08:57.000 So they spray poison.
00:09:00.000 So RFK Jr. was trying really hard to stop that.
00:09:04.000 But Trump essentially said that if they passed this ban on glyphosate and they forced all these.
00:09:11.000 Farmers to stop moving glyphosate, it would destroy the farm market in America.
00:09:16.000 It would destroy it.
00:09:18.000 Like 90 something percent of these people use glyphosate.
00:09:22.000 And you're like, that's because they have to, it preserves it essentially so they can keep it longer.
00:09:22.000 Wow.
00:09:27.000 For wheat and then corn actually has like Roundup ready corn so you could spray it on the corn and it survives this shit.
00:09:35.000 Yeah.
00:09:36.000 So like it kills all the weeds around it, but the corn survives.
00:09:39.000 So we got this nuclear corn.
00:09:40.000 That's bizarre.
00:09:41.000 And what's crazy is.
00:09:44.000 Our whole system depends on it.
00:09:46.000 Like, we've got a bad system.
00:09:48.000 And the solution is keep the bad system for now because if we don't feed people poison, then we'll go under.
00:09:58.000 It's so crazy.
00:09:59.000 And that's what it is in America.
00:10:01.000 That's why when you go to Italy, you get that Italian flour, which is heirloom wheat.
00:10:07.000 So, you know, Maynard from Tool, he explained this to me because he owns restaurants.
00:10:11.000 And he said that when you're getting wheat, From America, it's like got a higher yield per acre because it's like more gluten dense.
00:10:20.000 It has more complex glutens in it.
00:10:23.000 And your body just goes, whoa, like this is a lot.
00:10:27.000 You know that feeling that, like, whoa, because you're essentially eating glue.
00:10:31.000 When you eat pasta that you have it in Italy, or I'm not saying it doesn't have calories, but there's a difference in the way it feels when it goes in your body.
00:10:40.000 There's not a resistance.
00:10:41.000 It feels like food.
00:10:43.000 Become a glutton and I eat like a whole pizza in America if it's not at a good spot that you know uses Italian wheat.
00:10:50.000 I feel like I fucking poison myself.
00:10:52.000 I literally feel, um, I mean, almost like a hangover, a weird like you feel it like in your veins.
00:11:00.000 So I don't know if that's the complex glutens, I don't know if that's glyphosate.
00:11:05.000 I think the glyphosate thing is probably dangerous, but yet also possibly overstated.
00:11:11.000 So it seems like the very low levels of glyphosate, our body can tolerate it.
00:11:16.000 But the real question is why are we fucking tolerating it?
00:11:18.000 Like, why is that there?
00:11:20.000 Yeah.
00:11:20.000 Because there's people that think that that's what you're reacting to when you're eating wheat.
00:11:24.000 That you're reacting to your body's just like, what is this?
00:11:26.000 I don't like this fucking herbicide.
00:11:28.000 Well, this also happened as I got older.
00:11:30.000 I don't even know what it was.
00:11:31.000 Like, I just never really had an issue with like pizza, pasta, wheat, anything when I was a kid.
00:11:36.000 I could eat a peanut butter jelly sandwich.
00:11:38.000 See, that's my mid 20s.
00:11:39.000 It just hit me in a different way.
00:11:40.000 And I don't actually, I don't know if you can develop a gluten intolerance or a gluten problem.
00:11:44.000 It seems like a lot.
00:11:45.000 It happens to a lot of people as they get older.
00:11:46.000 I wonder what that is.
00:11:47.000 I wonder if that's just your body's just like, E, fuck enough, dude.
00:11:51.000 Yeah.
00:11:51.000 Your body just gives up on it.
00:11:53.000 It's like, but when you were young.
00:11:54.000 But it's running more efficiently, just naturally.
00:11:56.000 You're young.
00:11:57.000 You're full of hormones.
00:11:58.000 Your body, the cells are replicating perfectly.
00:12:04.000 Everything's great.
00:12:05.000 And I think your body could just burn it off.
00:12:07.000 Like, that's why hangovers weren't as bad when I was 20 either.
00:12:10.000 Hangovers were no big deal.
00:12:10.000 Oh, yeah.
00:12:12.000 Just have some water the next day and you'll be good.
00:12:14.000 Yeah.
00:12:14.000 It was not that bad.
00:12:15.000 Dude.
00:12:15.000 Hangovers, if I have a hangover at 58, I'm like, what are you trying to die early, you fucking idiot?
00:12:21.000 That's what I was saying about Shane at the stadium or the arena before.
00:12:24.000 It's like, we get there and I wasn't even drinking.
00:12:27.000 I stopped drinking, you know, regularly here and there.
00:12:30.000 But I was just, the best shape and the best mental state I've ever been in in my life was when I'm completely sober.
00:12:36.000 Completely sober, eating healthy, exercising every day.
00:12:39.000 That right there is the best.
00:12:40.000 That's the best version of everybody.
00:12:41.000 It's not a unique thing to myself, right?
00:12:43.000 But Shane, I was like, You know, he's fucking Shane.
00:12:45.000 She was like, come on, you gotta have a drink.
00:12:47.000 So I was like, started drinking whiskey.
00:12:47.000 Yeah.
00:12:49.000 The best version of Shane is 11 Bud Lights.
00:12:53.000 Yeah, dude.
00:12:54.000 After 11, he's just unstoppable.
00:12:56.000 Yeah.
00:12:56.000 He's a jolly drunk.
00:12:57.000 That's why.
00:12:58.000 I don't know how he does it.
00:12:59.000 I don't know if I could have done it for more than two, three nights in a row.
00:13:02.000 I would die.
00:13:03.000 You ever smoke weed with a rapper?
00:13:04.000 It's the same shit.
00:13:05.000 It's like people get used to things.
00:13:06.000 Yeah.
00:13:07.000 You know, try smoking weed with Wiz Khalifa.
00:13:09.000 Wiz Khalifa should try smoking weed with me.
00:13:11.000 Really?
00:13:11.000 Are you kidding me?
00:13:12.000 Are you really calling him out?
00:13:13.000 I used to be bringing on Wiz Khalifa.
00:13:15.000 I used to be, I mean, I'm talking about.
00:13:17.000 An all day, every day, get up in the morning just to get going.
00:13:20.000 Five dabs.
00:13:21.000 Like, I like real deal pothead.
00:13:24.000 Blunt to the head.
00:13:26.000 I smoked one to the head a week ago, right before I trained.
00:13:28.000 And my sparring partner was like, You smell like weed.
00:13:32.000 I was like, I could never in a million years.
00:13:33.000 But it's just, I'm so used to it that.
00:13:36.000 Yeah, it becomes a normal state.
00:13:39.000 Well, a lot of people smoke.
00:13:41.000 It's the dirty secret of jujitsu.
00:13:43.000 A lot of people smoke weed before jujitsu.
00:13:45.000 Up the nose?
00:13:45.000 What is Wiz doing?
00:13:46.000 He's doing nose dab, yeah.
00:13:47.000 Oh, no.
00:13:48.000 Why would you do that, Wiz?
00:13:48.000 You don't need to do that.
00:13:50.000 That dude's jacked.
00:13:51.000 You ever see what Wiz looks like?
00:13:52.000 He got really into Muay Thai, like heavily into it, so he brings a guy with him everywhere he goes and hits pads.
00:13:57.000 He's fucking ripped, dude.
00:13:59.000 I mean, like a 10 pack.
00:14:00.000 It's crazy.
00:14:01.000 He looks fucking great, and his technique looks pretty solid.
00:14:04.000 Just gets high, kicks shit.
00:14:05.000 How fun is that?
00:14:06.000 What a life.
00:14:06.000 Well, there's a The thing about when you're high, you feel your muscles more.
00:14:10.000 Like you feel like the little fibers.
00:14:12.000 Yeah.
00:14:12.000 You know, instead of it being a blunt thing, it's like you have access to all the fibers.
00:14:17.000 Yeah.
00:14:17.000 And it's also you like, with jujitsu specifically, you get into like a flow state where you close your eyes and you're just fucking feeling things.
00:14:25.000 And it's like, I think that can actually help it.
00:14:28.000 I think it's a performance enhancer.
00:14:30.000 I really do.
00:14:31.000 I always felt like my jujitsu game was 10% better if I was high.
00:14:34.000 Really?
00:14:34.000 No bullshit.
00:14:34.000 Yeah.
00:14:35.000 I've really felt that.
00:14:35.000 Yeah.
00:14:37.000 I think Eddie would agree with that too.
00:14:39.000 I think a lot of people agree with that.
00:14:40.000 Yeah.
00:14:41.000 You know, I think.
00:14:42.000 Same thing with comedy.
00:14:42.000 It's like, it can be.
00:14:45.000 I think if you're getting high every day, and then if you switch it up, then it's a performance enhancer.
00:14:45.000 It can be.
00:14:51.000 Like, being right now, being completely sober, like, I feel like I'm on Adderall.
00:14:54.000 Like, I feel like I'm completely locked in in a different way.
00:14:58.000 Whereas, like, and then I'll stop smoking weed for six months, then I'll go back to it.
00:15:02.000 I'm like, oh, I've never been more creative.
00:15:03.000 It's just, I think it's just changing your mindset in whatever way you can do that.
00:15:07.000 Yeah.
00:15:07.000 That's why people are so locked in on their, like, having the same opinions their entire lives.
00:15:11.000 It's like, somebody called me out on Twitter today.
00:15:13.000 They were like, dude, you flip flop constantly on things.
00:15:15.000 I was like, I mean, I've grown.
00:15:17.000 You've been watching me for 15 years on podcasts.
00:15:19.000 I'm now a full-time flip-flop.
00:15:22.000 I'm Captain Flip-flop.
00:15:24.000 I just don't think you should be married to your ideas.
00:15:27.000 I think the real problem is once you say something and then you have to defend it, and then once you find out that it's wrong, you fucking panic and then you double down and then you try to defend it in some weird fucking circular logic way.
00:15:42.000 And you'll get there.
00:15:43.000 You'll probably get there.
00:15:44.000 If you're smart enough guys, we'll just figure out a way to ask backwards their logic.
00:15:48.000 But every once in a while, it's so nice to go, oh, dude, I was completely wrong about that.
00:15:52.000 See, that you win any argument with a girl.
00:15:54.000 In this world, the world that you and I are in, we have conversations publicly, right?
00:15:59.000 And that's what's something that a lot of people don't do.
00:16:01.000 So if you have conversations publicly, then the whole world can essentially go, no, you're wrong.
00:16:08.000 You know, which is very valuable, very valuable for being able to formulate opinions.
00:16:08.000 Yeah.
00:16:14.000 Most people don't fucking have that.
00:16:15.000 Yeah.
00:16:16.000 So most people, they just like, if they're wrong about something, they've said it publicly and shamed people.
00:16:21.000 You know you better do this because of that, and this, and the wrong.
00:16:25.000 Once they find out they're wrong, they fucking panic and there's not much you can do about it.
00:16:29.000 Like, you're just wrong.
00:16:31.000 And the only thing you could do if you want to keep any credibility and say, this is what I thought and this is why I thought it, but I don't think that anymore.
00:16:38.000 And I was wrong.
00:16:40.000 I fucked that up.
00:16:41.000 But this new information, I want you to have too.
00:16:45.000 Because this is what I'll tell you why I thought what I thought and why it changed.
00:16:49.000 Yeah, I mean, I'll be able to do that.
00:16:50.000 I think it's just a weird thing in society.
00:16:52.000 People will not.
00:16:53.000 They will be able to do that.
00:16:53.000 People want to pretend they're smarter than they are.
00:16:55.000 That's the thing, man.
00:16:56.000 Everybody wants to pretend they're fucking smarter than they are.
00:16:58.000 We're all.
00:16:59.000 Talking monkeys.
00:17:00.000 Yeah, we're idiots.
00:17:01.000 All of us.
00:17:02.000 Every fucking person alive is a talking monkey.
00:17:04.000 So the internet is the best and the worst thing that's ever happened because now all the monkeys can scream.
00:17:11.000 Everybody can get mad.
00:17:12.000 Everybody can complain, but it's also great.
00:17:14.000 And you just have time to reflect.
00:17:16.000 So what would happen is something would happen, right?
00:17:18.000 Whatever it is, some big event, right?
00:17:20.000 And it happens on Friday.
00:17:22.000 Like, I don't have, I got to sit on this until Monday.
00:17:24.000 I'll talk to my wife or some friends at home, but it's like until I get to work on Monday, I can't.
00:17:29.000 Spout these ideas and my opinions, and you kind of reflect on it.
00:17:32.000 You sit on the toilet, taking a shit, thinking about things.
00:17:34.000 We don't have that anymore.
00:17:35.000 It's just all distraction constantly.
00:17:37.000 And it's like, just, I mean, the amount, like, I, the only time I ever, like, reflect is if I'm working out or I'm sitting in the steam room by myself.
00:17:46.000 Got to put the phone away.
00:17:47.000 You literally can't do anything.
00:17:49.000 But even you're taking a shit, dude.
00:17:49.000 Right.
00:17:50.000 Back in the day, taking a shit used to be, like, the best thinking time.
00:17:53.000 People had magazines.
00:17:54.000 Yeah.
00:17:55.000 You know, you sit there, leave, reading Life Magazine where you're taking a dump.
00:17:59.000 What you just said was, like, very important.
00:18:02.000 So, what we're talking about is people being able to talk about things.
00:18:08.000 Now, imagine what life was like.
00:18:11.000 How old are you?
00:18:12.000 44.
00:18:12.000 Okay, so you lived it a little bit, but I really lived it where there was no internet.
00:18:18.000 And if there was no internet, you couldn't talk to anything about anybody, about anybody, about anything.
00:18:24.000 Because everything that came up in the news, you'd see it on the news.
00:18:27.000 You go, what is going on?
00:18:28.000 You get this quick snippet.
00:18:30.000 And then you'd have to go to a newspaper and you'd read the newspaper and go, what the fuck are we doing in Venezuela?
00:18:35.000 And at this point, 99% of people are already out.
00:18:38.000 Even right here, that people are like, I'm not going to the library.
00:18:40.000 I'm not getting a newspaper.
00:18:41.000 Exactly.
00:18:42.000 You're the guy who goes to work.
00:18:43.000 And how much time do you have to talk to people about things?
00:18:46.000 You have stuff to do.
00:18:48.000 You can't be the guy that corners people when they're getting coffee.
00:18:51.000 Do you hear what we're doing in Nicaragua?
00:18:52.000 So, we're selling cocaine in Los Angeles.
00:18:54.000 Kurt Mesher, if he wasn't a comic.
00:18:56.000 The CIA is selling cocaine in Los Angeles to fund the Contras versus the Sandinistas in Nicaragua.
00:19:01.000 And you're like, I have work to do.
00:19:01.000 Do you know that?

00:19:52.000 Start a fucking ham radio channel?
00:19:54.000 What are you going to do?
00:19:55.000 There was no way to express yourself.
00:19:57.000 That was that.
00:19:57.000 But, bro, if you did start a radio channel, here's the crazy thing they would lock you up.
00:20:01.000 Yeah.
00:20:02.000 Do you know that?
00:20:03.000 You had to have an FCC license.
00:20:05.000 What was that movie?
00:20:06.000 Yeah, Christian Slater.
00:20:07.000 Christian Slater.
00:20:07.000 Pump up the volume.
00:20:09.000 Pump up the volume.
00:20:10.000 Yeah.
00:20:10.000 He was podcasting from a car before there was a podcast.
00:20:13.000 This was 1990.
00:20:14.000 They were chasing him down and they were trying to arrest him.
00:20:17.000 He was the rebel.
00:20:18.000 And wasn't he saying like 17?
00:20:21.000 Some stuff like go out there and live your life or something?
00:20:23.000 Like, what was he saying?
00:20:24.000 Did he have like a pump you up speech?
00:20:26.000 Everybody was listening to this.
00:20:27.000 It wasn't even that controversial, but like, you know, the man, you know.
00:20:30.000 Yeah, what was he saying?
00:20:31.000 Like, he's ranting.
00:20:34.000 It's like low level podcasting, but he might be the first podcast.
00:20:38.000 Maybe.
00:20:38.000 No, I'm like, no bullshit.
00:20:41.000 Yeah.
00:20:42.000 Like, that idea in that movie might have been, you know, because it's always like one idea builds on and then new inventions and then builds on.
00:20:50.000 The one idea is this.
00:20:50.000 Yeah.
00:20:53.000 Sexy rebel who's out there yelling, fuck the man.
00:20:57.000 And he's in a van running from the cops because he's going to put him in a cage because he made his own radio station.
00:21:03.000 That's wild.
00:21:04.000 And that's what we're doing right now.
00:21:05.000 Yeah.
00:21:06.000 There was, yeah, I mean, I lived pre internet, you know, and internet sort of high school, ninth grade or so, that's when it started popping off.
00:21:14.000 Podcasts show you straight up that the free market is much better than regulations by the government because you're never going to get this kind of a show.
00:21:25.000 If the government gets to regulate you and they tell you you can't swear, they can't tell you you can't be obscene, there's certain things you can't say.
00:21:33.000 Well, now it's just YouTube and Google that'll tell you that.
00:21:37.000 But they don't do it as much.
00:21:38.000 No, not nowhere near as much, but it's the new way to sort of combat that is demonetization.
00:21:44.000 Right, but here's the thing the market dictates that too, because if someone else comes along and says, hey, we're not going to do that.
00:21:50.000 So there's a reason why YouTube has loosened up some of its content restriction.
00:21:55.000 Yeah, because Rumble came out, Kick came out.
00:21:57.000 Also, they were wrong.
00:21:59.000 Like a lot of the restrictions were during COVID, and they were wrong.
00:22:03.000 They were telling people if you bring up the lab leak theory, we'll kick you off of YouTube.
00:22:07.000 Yeah.
00:22:07.000 A lot of people.
00:22:08.000 A lot of people completely lost their channels, like lost their way to make money on YouTube.
00:22:12.000 Well, you could say the earth is flat.
00:22:13.000 There's fucking millions.
00:22:13.000 Yeah.
00:22:15.000 There's millions of flat earth videos out there.
00:22:17.000 You could say Bigfoot raped my mom.
00:22:20.000 You know, you could say anything.
00:22:21.000 Yeah.
00:22:22.000 But if you said that it might have come from a lab, like, you would get kicked off of YouTube.
00:22:27.000 It's so funny.
00:22:28.000 We found out that's exactly what happened.
00:22:30.000 But the market sort of shifted, and that's how Rumble started getting bigger.
00:22:34.000 Rumble got bigger specifically because of the fact there's pushback on YouTube because they literally won't even let Nick Fuentes on YouTube.
00:22:43.000 And he's on Rumble, and he's like their number one guy.
00:22:46.000 He's killing it on Rumble.
00:22:47.000 See, that's the thing.
00:22:47.000 It's like if you hold something back, you're just going to make another version of it that opposes it, and they're going to have more energy to fight against you because you've stopped the truth.
00:22:58.000 Yeah.
00:22:59.000 You've stopped the truth about, like, not like about petty things, about really important things.
00:23:05.000 Like how a fucking disease went through the whole world.
00:23:08.000 You're literally stopping people from examining the truth, which is weird.
00:23:12.000 Yeah.
00:23:13.000 It's not good.
00:23:15.000 That's real scary.
00:23:16.000 That was a scary time, just like in general.
00:23:18.000 It was a great time for podcasting.
00:23:20.000 Podcasting blew up during COVID.
00:23:22.000 It was huge.
00:23:22.000 Everyone just stayed at home.
00:23:24.000 Everyone was like, oh, what are we going to do?
00:23:25.000 We have nothing else to do except sit on the internet and listen to podcasts.
00:23:28.000 Yeah.
00:23:29.000 But yeah, it was just a weird, uncertain time.
00:23:33.000 Even physically in life, it was uncertain.
00:23:35.000 And then you go on the internet and it's like, oh, I could just lose everything.
00:23:39.000 They could just take it away like that.
00:23:40.000 All these platforms.
00:23:42.000 This is why I start.
00:23:43.000 I do all of my own things specifically because I am.
00:23:46.000 Terrified that my things are going to be taken away from me.
00:23:49.000 So I have my own platforms, my own festival.
00:23:49.000 Yeah.
00:23:51.000 Well, you were really smart about that early on with Gas Digital.
00:23:54.000 Such a good idea, dude.
00:23:55.000 Such a good idea.
00:23:55.000 Thanks.
00:23:56.000 And it's also like your fan base.
00:23:59.000 Your fan base is so loyal and so rabid.
00:24:01.000 Yeah.
00:24:02.000 You know, because they're signed, they're like invested financially.
00:24:05.000 And it's a better relationship, honestly, in a lot of ways.
00:24:05.000 Oh, yeah.
00:24:09.000 Well, what's funny is when we started it, it wasn't even completely necessary.
00:24:13.000 What's funny is Patreon hadn't even existed, but it was like, You know, guitar players asking for tips.
00:24:18.000 There was nobody podcasting on Patreon.
00:24:20.000 We started the platform Uncensored Ad Free for, you know, behind a paywall.
00:24:23.000 We were unique.
00:24:24.000 There was really no, Anthony Kumia did it.
00:24:26.000 There was a couple people that were doing their thing.
00:24:28.000 And Anthony did it specifically because he was fired from XM.
00:24:30.000 Yeah.
00:24:31.000 And he had to.
00:24:31.000 Yeah.
00:24:32.000 He had to.
00:24:33.000 And it wasn't even like, it wasn't crazy back then.
00:24:33.000 But we did.
00:24:37.000 But the way everything became censored and, you know, there's all these ads on YouTube.
00:24:42.000 There's so much.
00:24:43.000 It feels so like, it feels commercial.
00:24:45.000 It feels like you're watching, TV in the late 90s when you're watching YouTube now.
00:24:50.000 Now more than ever, there's a need for an uncensored ad free platform, and there's not many of them.
00:24:54.000 No, 100%.
00:24:55.000 I think you did the smartest thing by doing that.
00:24:57.000 So here's the argument the argument is like, That if it's everywhere, like if it's on YouTube and it's on Spotify, it's on everywhere, then there's more potential for growth because it's easier to access.
00:25:09.000 That is true.
00:25:10.000 And it's also way easier to promote because people can just send each other.
00:25:14.000 Like it's natural.
00:25:16.000 Yeah, the algorithms will push it, which is.
00:25:18.000 Yeah, there's that, but there's also sharing.
00:25:20.000 Yeah.
00:25:20.000 Like if someone has got a good podcast, I'll share it with my friends.
00:25:24.000 Like you've got to listen to this.
00:25:25.000 It's hilarious.
00:25:26.000 And so that, you can't do that if it's a pay platform.
00:25:30.000 So like you'd have to get someone to sign up.
00:25:31.000 What's funny is we.
00:25:33.000 We were so early on a lot of these things.
00:25:34.000 I give myself a lot of credit here because we like, before you could screen record on your phone, we had in our app a tool where you can clip clips to share them to social media.
00:25:44.000 So you could do it, it was like limited to like two or three clips per episode.
00:25:48.000 Oh, that's great.
00:25:49.000 It worked.
00:25:50.000 It never worked really.
00:25:51.000 Was there a time limit on the clips?
00:25:52.000 It's like a minute or two.
00:25:53.000 Oh, that's a problem.
00:25:55.000 That's a problem.
00:25:56.000 Because like, you want like at least eight.
00:25:56.000 Yeah.
00:25:59.000 Yeah.
00:25:59.000 You know, because like, especially if there's a funny back and forth between you guys.
00:26:03.000 Like if you're doing Legions of Skanks and you guys are going off about something.
00:26:03.000 Yeah.
00:26:06.000 Yeah.
00:26:06.000 You need a little more than a couple of minutes.
00:26:08.000 You've got to sink your teeth into it.
00:26:09.000 Yeah.
00:26:10.000 Otherwise, that's the best way to take things out of context, too.
00:26:14.000 Boy, people love doing that.
00:26:14.000 You're telling me.
00:26:16.000 They love doing that.
00:26:16.000 Yeah.
00:26:17.000 But it's also, what are you going to ask everybody to listen to three hours of a podcast?
00:26:21.000 It's crazy.
00:26:22.000 You've got to expect that things are going to get taken out of context.
00:26:25.000 It's part of the game, you know?
00:26:28.000 It's part of the thing we do.
00:26:29.000 Yeah.
00:26:30.000 And nobody really wants a context.
00:26:32.000 Even when they find out the context, they don't care.
00:26:34.000 They've been like, well, I already, we were saying before, I've moved on from that opinion.
00:26:38.000 Nobody cares.
00:26:39.000 Tomorrow, it's another day.
00:26:42.000 Nobody really cares about anything, to be honest with you.
00:26:44.000 It's like the way that the internet has turned people into just like whatever's in front of them, that's what they care about.
00:26:50.000 I mean, the amount of things that were such a big deal a month ago.
00:26:54.000 I mean, ICE was such a huge deal two months ago.
00:26:57.000 We haven't heard anything about ICE since then.
00:27:00.000 It was the Ukraine.
00:27:01.000 What happened to the Ukraine?
00:27:02.000 That war's still going on, I believe.
00:27:04.000 Nobody gives a shit.
00:27:05.000 It's still going on.
00:27:06.000 It's just, it's not sexy right now.
00:27:08.000 You know, it's like Law Order Special Victims Unit, season 50.
00:27:12.000 It's like, okay.
00:27:12.000 Yeah.
00:27:15.000 You know what I mean?
00:27:16.000 We've seen every angle on rape already.
00:27:19.000 It's like, it's still going to be a big show.
00:27:21.000 You know, it's still important.
00:27:22.000 It's top 10.
00:27:23.000 Yeah.
00:27:23.000 But it's, you know what I'm saying?
00:27:24.000 Like, it's not the number one thing that we're concerned with.
00:27:27.000 Whereas when it popped off, when Russia invaded, it was like the end of the world.
00:27:30.000 Yeah.
00:27:31.000 And then there were people, I literally heard people saying that Ukraine should have never given up its nukes.
00:27:37.000 And I was like, okay, I could see what you're saying.
00:27:41.000 I could see what you're saying.
00:27:42.000 Like, if they had nukes, Russia probably wouldn't invade them.
00:27:47.000 But ultimately, that means we're threatening you with nukes.
00:27:49.000 That's the scariest thing ever.
00:27:51.000 That's fucking crazy.
00:27:52.000 The whole thing's crazy.
00:27:53.000 But it's also, it's like, why did this happen?
00:27:55.000 Did NATO pushing arms closer and closer to Russia have no impact on this?
00:28:00.000 Nobody can hit Texas or New York, though, right?
00:28:03.000 Like, Hawaii's fucked.
00:28:05.000 What do you mean?
00:28:05.000 Oh, they could hit New York.
00:28:06.000 They could hit New York?
00:28:07.000 Oh, yeah, they could hit New York.
00:28:08.000 You think so?
00:28:09.000 Fuck yeah.
00:28:09.000 With a nuke?
00:28:10.000 Yeah, 100%.
00:28:11.000 I read something a while ago that they could only reach Hawaii.
00:28:13.000 Or I guess it wasn't anyone.
00:28:14.000 It was, who was it?
00:28:17.000 Was it Russia or China or something?
00:28:19.000 One of them.
00:28:19.000 They could only hit Hawaii.
00:28:21.000 I had a bit about it in my act, and I was like, whew.
00:28:24.000 We had a guy on that was talking about back engineering UFO technology and that they had this idea of using it.
00:28:35.000 To what they would call an instantaneous delivery system of a nuclear bomb.
00:28:41.000 Because the way these things supposedly can travel.
00:28:45.000 I'm a moron, so I don't understand anything about gravity.
00:28:49.000 But what they were explaining is that if these crafts work in a way that has no normal kind of propulsion, we think of propulsion as like a jet.
00:28:59.000 The fire goes out the back and the jet goes forward really fast because of that, right?
00:29:04.000 What they're saying is.
00:29:06.000 These beings from wherever the fuck they are, these people that have back engineered their crafts, the way they move is not by propulsion.
00:29:16.000 It's by bending space and time.
00:29:18.000 It's by doing something to the gravity around it or the actual space of the universe around it where it can go to another place like instantaneously.
00:29:29.000 So it's not like it flies.
00:29:32.000 It's like it just fucking zips over to another part of the universe.
00:29:36.000 And they can do it like that tic tac one that they.
00:29:39.000 They got on radar, they got it on the visuals, like two different fighter pilots saw it and talked about it.
00:29:46.000 They have video of it.
00:29:47.000 This fucking thing went from more than 50,000 feet above sea level to sea level in one second, less than a second.
00:29:54.000 So it's like beep, beep, beep, radar.
00:29:56.000 It went from 50,000 feet to that.
00:29:58.000 So if you could do that with a bomb, you could essentially instantaneously detonate Moscow.
00:30:04.000 Wow.
00:30:05.000 If that's a real technology.
00:30:07.000 So this is probably why these assholes are hiding all this UFO information.
00:30:11.000 It's because these assholes had probably been using the.
00:30:15.000 They were like, yeah, we could travel anywhere in the universe or we could blow up China without them even knowing it's happening.
00:30:21.000 We could assure that we'll win a nuclear war.
00:30:23.000 Anybody who would have that technology, the ability to put something somewhere instantly and you put a bomb in it, that's crazy.
00:30:31.000 Yeah.
00:30:32.000 So that might be what all this UFO bullshit is about.
00:30:35.000 Yeah.
00:30:35.000 I mean, who knows?
00:30:36.000 Who knows what's going on?
00:30:37.000 I mean, like, obviously, there's something going on, right?
00:30:42.000 I think where there's smoke, there's fire, and there's too much going on.
00:30:44.000 Have you seen these stories about all these scientists?
00:30:46.000 That are getting whacked?
00:30:47.000 No.
00:30:48.000 Yeah, there are scientists that have gotten whacked andor missing, and a couple of generals as well, that's all connected somehow or another to UFO technology and anti gravity technology and nuclear scientists.
00:31:02.000 And There's a bunch of stories that I've read about this, and some of them are like this is like purely exaggerated.
00:31:09.000 And a lot of people are, it's just they're taking that this guy committed suicide and he worked on that, and this guy went missing and he worked on that, but it's just coincidence.
00:31:17.000 Right.
00:31:17.000 And then there's other people that go, no, no, no, no, this is, there's too many people.
00:31:21.000 So now the White House has commented on it.
00:31:24.000 So they're doing an investigation on this, which makes me think, hopefully, somebody who's really fucking smart has looked at this information and said there's something there.
00:31:35.000 Like, what these people were working on was very extraordinary and could disrupt a market or could be something that could be used in a weapon that would destroy another country.
00:31:45.000 And so the other country sabotages it by killing scientists.
00:31:49.000 That's shit that we would do.
00:31:50.000 Think how little we know.
00:31:52.000 Like, the amount of, like, yeah, like you and I, just human, just like Americans, just the general population.
00:31:59.000 Like, the amount of, there's probably the craziest technology ever that the government has their hands on right now.
00:32:03.000 It's like we use AI tools, and it's like, I can imagine the AI that the government currently has.
00:32:10.000 And that's why that'll never disappear.
00:32:10.000 Right.
00:32:12.000 It's because all of the governments are sort of at a race to see who can implement the strongest AI.
00:32:18.000 So I can't even imagine how crazy it is.
00:32:21.000 There was one lady that went missing, and there's a weird video of her because it seems like she's drunk.
00:32:27.000 And she's like talking about how, you know, this technology that it's real, but every time that anybody gets close to it, people stop it.
00:32:37.000 And this lady's gone missing as well.
00:32:39.000 So it seems like she might have had a couple of drinks or something.
00:32:42.000 Started ranting about this in some weird video call.
00:32:42.000 And then.
00:32:45.000 Yeah.
00:32:45.000 But listen, if I had that information and I thought that people were trying to kill me because I knew about anti gravity technology, and I literally thought like I'm in a Russell Crowe movie and someone's trying to fucking whack me, I'd probably get drunk too.
00:32:57.000 Yeah.
00:32:58.000 Like, what are you going to do?
00:32:59.000 But she went missing, though.
00:33:01.000 I was talking to two nuclear scientists after my show.
00:33:06.000 Just these two, like, there was a couple.
00:33:07.000 They were, like, straight up nuclear scientists.
00:33:09.000 It was Tacoma or Spokane, whatever it's near that, like, there's a huge, like, it's like a nuclear town.
00:33:15.000 Like, everyone works in, like, nuclear science in this entire town.
00:33:18.000 Jesus.
00:33:18.000 And he was, like, they were, like, so into telling me about, like, not too much, not too in depth, but he was like, you know, I work, like, 100 feet below the ground.
00:33:28.000 It was, like, super top secret.
00:33:30.000 And, um, He was like, I started asking him questions.
00:33:33.000 He was like, I can't answer that.
00:33:34.000 He was like, they've definitely tapped our phones.
00:33:35.000 Are you out of your mind?
00:33:36.000 You think they're not just listening to what we're saying to people?
00:33:39.000 And it was just like, fucking goddamn, dude.
00:33:41.000 I think they're listening to everything everybody's saying all the time.
00:33:44.000 They can't organize it.
00:33:46.000 Yeah.
00:33:46.000 Yeah.
00:33:47.000 I think it just gets stored.
00:33:48.000 I don't think it's like someone's listening where they can just know every, like they have a person with a fucking earphone on listening to everything you say.
00:33:56.000 Oh, write it down.
00:33:57.000 He's like this.
00:33:58.000 I think probably high government officials, they probably do.
00:34:01.000 Probably.
00:34:01.000 But now with AI, all they would have to do.
00:34:04.000 Is record everybody's phone all the time and then use AI to search all the transcripts and then find an audio recording of you saying this or you saying that.
00:34:14.000 We're probably three years away from them being able to get everything we've ever done on the internet.
00:34:18.000 Yeah, but not just that.
00:34:20.000 There's also AI which could take that and then have you make phone calls to people that you don't really make.
00:34:27.000 Yeah.
00:34:28.000 So you could call up one of your friends and ask them to meet you somewhere with a bag of heroin and they would all, you know, they would know.
00:34:34.000 It would like literally you'd use it to set people up.
00:34:37.000 Yeah.
00:34:37.000 You could use it.
00:34:38.000 To get people upset about something, you could have the AI have a fucking conversation with them.
00:34:43.000 I mean, I've been listening to AI Joe Rogan ads on the internet for about a year now where they just take your voice and they advertise products because you have such a recognizable voice.
00:34:51.000 That's pretty ridiculous, right?
00:34:53.000 A lot of people go, Do you use that?
00:34:54.000 I go, No, it's AI.
00:34:55.000 But the thing is, it's like they can have it talk to you now.
00:35:00.000 So it sounds like you.
00:35:02.000 Yeah.
00:35:03.000 You could have a conversation with you.
00:35:04.000 Like you could AI, Luis J. Gomez.
00:35:08.000 You could talk to Luis J. Gomez and it would be like you talking to yourself.
00:35:12.000 You'd probably lose your mind if you were schizophrenic.
00:35:14.000 I did something really dark and sad one day.
00:35:16.000 I was super high and my mom died when I was 22 years old.
00:35:20.000 And then I went, I prompted ChatGPT.
00:35:22.000 I told a bunch of information about my mom and I was like, I want to have a conversation with my mom on the other side about like what's going on in my life and my son and ask me questions.
00:35:31.000 And I was like, It was, it got very like I got really emotional way more than you would think.
00:35:36.000 Like, I was it was kind of just a dumb thing.
00:35:38.000 I was stoned.
00:35:39.000 I was like, let's see where this goes.
00:35:40.000 I was, I felt like I was talking to my mom at the end of it.
00:35:43.000 It was really that's so crazy.
00:35:46.000 Yeah, really.
00:35:46.000 Here's the thing if it gets to be a super intelligence and they program a super intelligence to behave exactly and talk exactly like your mom, and then you had conversations with her, like it knows her voice.
00:35:59.000 Yeah, that would be such a it.
00:36:02.000 If you're schizophrenic and that starts happening, that would be the trip.
00:36:06.000 That would be that.
00:36:07.000 That would be bing.
00:36:08.000 We blew the last fuse.
00:36:10.000 That would be it.
00:36:12.000 Well, maybe that's what they're doing for you and me, right?
00:36:15.000 Who we have, I mean, thousands and thousands of hours recorded, right?
00:36:19.000 They could have us say anything.
00:36:19.000 Oh, yeah.
00:36:20.000 Well, not only just say anything, like when I die, I'm assuming the technology, forget when I die, like 40 years from now, like in the next few years, they can just take every opinion I've had, the way I speak, my thoughts, everything, and then they can use AI to not only just replicate what I do, but go, like, well, what would he likely think?
00:36:39.000 What would he likely say?
00:36:40.000 If you sort of Put all that data in, and then eventually it's like a little fucking box sitting on the table that my son talks to.
00:36:46.000 His dad never dies, his dad's always there.
00:36:48.000 I think that will be a thing that regularly is happening.
00:36:51.000 You, you, and I don't know if it's like uploading the consciousness or if it's the AI replicating your consciousness.
00:36:56.000 I think they've talked about that for a long time, but that I think will happen unquestionably.
00:37:01.000 No doubt.
00:37:02.000 And soon.
00:37:02.000 Yeah.
00:37:03.000 Well, the AI that they have now, like if you put on those meta glasses, have you fucked with that?
00:37:03.000 Very soon.
00:37:08.000 The VR goggles?
00:37:09.000 Uh, yeah.
00:37:10.000 They're pretty fucking crazy.
00:37:11.000 I mean, I just jerk off.
00:37:13.000 That's it.
00:37:14.000 Giant vaginas.
00:37:14.000 Adjust it.
00:37:15.000 No, it's not even a.
00:37:15.000 Well, not.
00:37:16.000 It's.
00:37:17.000 If you have porn with VR, it must be insane.
00:37:19.000 Oh, it's insane.
00:37:20.000 It is insane.
00:37:21.000 I can't watch regular porn anymore.
00:37:21.000 Yeah.
00:37:23.000 I can't watch it that way.
00:37:24.000 It made me nervous.
00:37:25.000 It's creepy.
00:37:26.000 I was looking this up just to see if it was still a thing.
00:37:29.000 This is a William Shatner AI.
00:37:31.000 He's sitting here waiting for us to ask him a question.
00:37:33.000 And he'll just answer it in his voice.
00:37:35.000 He sat there and recorded a bunch of stuff a couple years ago for this.
00:37:40.000 I don't know how well it works, but.
00:37:41.000 Well, ask him this.
00:37:44.000 This is a little different, though.
00:37:45.000 This isn't.
00:37:46.000 I mean, this is just the beginning, though.
00:37:48.000 This is the beginning of it.
00:37:49.000 So once they really turn the AI on this, it'll be a better William Shatner.
00:37:57.000 Let's ask him one random question.
00:38:03.000 Didn't he have a makeout session with a green lady in Star Trek?
00:38:08.000 I don't know.
00:38:10.000 I think there was some weird racial pushback.
00:38:10.000 I think he did.
00:38:15.000 There was some weird pushback.
00:38:16.000 Oh, he kissed Uhura.
00:38:19.000 I can make out with an alien.
00:38:20.000 No, no, no.
00:38:22.000 He did make out with an alien, right?
00:38:23.000 I'm pretty sure he kissed like a green lady or something, but he also kissed Lieutenant Uhura, who was a black lady.
00:38:31.000 And during the time where they did Star Trek, I think this was very controversial.
00:38:36.000 That's it.
00:38:38.000 So that was in 1968.
00:38:42.000 And this was very controversial that a white man and a black woman, and by the way, she was beautiful, that lady that played Uhura, she was beautiful.
00:38:49.000 And they thought it was weird.
00:38:51.000 They thought it was offensive.
00:38:53.000 It was like, it was a big thing in the public.
00:38:58.000 I was too young, obviously.
00:38:59.000 I was one year old.
00:39:00.000 But I do remember this story.
00:39:02.000 How many of you remember there was that movie, Jungle Fever?
00:39:05.000 It was an entire movie.
00:39:06.000 The entire premise of the movie was it's a black guy and a white girl.
00:39:09.000 Interracial couple.
00:39:10.000 That's a movie.
00:39:12.000 That's it.
00:39:16.000 Okay, what is it called?
00:39:17.000 Was the episode called Plato's Stepchildren?
00:39:19.000 Season 3, Episode 10.
00:39:22.000 November 22nd, 1968.
00:39:24.000 Wow.
00:39:26.000 Ohura, played by Nichelle Nichols and Captain Kirk, William Shackner, episodes often cited incorrectly as the first interracial kiss on television.
00:39:36.000 It was, however, the first instance in which a kiss between a black person and a white person on U.S. television was ever scripted, as an earlier kiss on Moving with Nancy was unscripted.
00:39:47.000 What the fuck is Moving with Nancy?
00:39:50.000 What is that?
00:39:50.000 Nancy Sinatra special or something.
00:39:52.000 Nancy kissed a black guy on TV?
00:39:54.000 Is that what they're saying?
00:39:55.000 That's pissing me off now.
00:39:56.000 I don't know why.
00:39:57.000 I bet she did it just to piss off Frank.
00:40:00.000 Her father was not okay with that.
00:40:02.000 I bet she did it just to piss off Frank.
00:40:08.000 Let me check.
00:40:09.000 Yeah, find out what she did.
00:40:10.000 What the fuck happened?
00:40:13.000 It's like a variety show.
00:40:15.000 So, was it like her and just a singer or something?
00:40:17.000 Was it a show where they would sing each other?
00:40:19.000 What happened here?
00:40:20.000 Sammy Davis Jr.
00:40:21.000 Oh, Sammy Davis Jr. kissed her.
00:40:23.000 Oh, that's a song and dance.
00:40:24.000 That's kind of with her.
00:40:26.000 That's what it says.
00:40:27.000 Probably look at that.
00:40:28.000 But is that it says an interracial kiss between Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.
00:40:34.000 Oh, boy.
00:40:35.000 He kissed, he passionately kissed his friend's daughter.
00:40:39.000 Bro, those people were freaks back then.
00:40:39.000 Oh, yeah.
00:40:41.000 That's hot.
00:40:42.000 They were freaks.
00:40:43.000 This is it.
00:40:44.000 That rat pack, that rat pack, those guys were animals.
00:40:47.000 Look at that.
00:40:48.000 Oh, that's on the cheek, bro.
00:40:50.000 He kissed her on the cheek.
00:40:52.000 Zoom in on that.
00:40:53.000 That's outrageous.
00:40:54.000 That's a nice, friendly kiss.
00:40:56.000 That's not a passionately kissed.
00:40:58.000 Let me see that.
00:40:59.000 Close in on there.
00:41:00.000 Yeah, he kissed her on the cheek.
00:41:02.000 Don't you think?
00:41:03.000 It looks like the cheek.
00:41:04.000 It looks like right here.
00:41:05.000 Yeah, a little side of that.
00:41:06.000 Yeah.
00:41:07.000 A little, that's like a sweet thing.
00:41:08.000 Yeah, Italian men do that to each other.
00:41:10.000 Yeah, that's not a kiss on the lips.
00:41:12.000 Yeah.
00:41:13.000 That doesn't count.
00:41:14.000 I say Star Trek's the first because that was like, let's get down.
00:41:17.000 Yeah.
00:41:17.000 Get down, get down.
00:41:19.000 Jungle Boogie.
00:41:21.000 It's so nuts, dude.
00:41:22.000 Yeah.
00:41:23.000 I mean, my mom was white and my dad was like Afro Latino, like dark skinned.
00:41:28.000 Like, he looked black.
00:41:30.000 Like, sure.
00:41:30.000 He looked like EZE.
00:41:31.000 I was going to show you a picture of my dad.
00:41:33.000 It's crazy.
00:41:33.000 That was funny.
00:41:34.000 He looked straight up like EZE.
00:41:36.000 And it's like, yeah, I mean, that, even in the 80s growing up, that was kind of like, it was weird.
00:41:41.000 I remember the first time I saw an interracial couple in high school.
00:41:44.000 I'm 44.
00:41:45.000 I'm not that old, but like, It was weird.
00:41:48.000 I remember just seeing, like, in the 10th grade, this hot white chick started dating this, like, football player, black kid.
00:41:54.000 It wasn't that regular where I grew up.
00:41:55.000 And I grew up an hour outside of New York City.
00:41:57.000 And it was controversial.
00:41:57.000 Yeah.
00:41:59.000 It opened you up to all sorts of things, like, you get yelled at by people.
00:42:03.000 You get attacked.
00:42:04.000 There's a lot of people that they dealt with a lot of shit back then, man.
00:42:09.000 Yeah.
00:42:09.000 Yeah.
00:42:10.000 Well, racism is back.
00:42:11.000 Don't worry.
00:42:12.000 It kind of never went away, but it comes in waves of encouragement where people think it's okay to be racist.
00:42:21.000 It's okay to be this, to be that.
00:42:23.000 It was a weird thing where it's like a lot of us were just being ironic and funny for a while.
00:42:28.000 You make racial jokes, you make jokes about anything.
00:42:31.000 I think you could make a joke about anything.
00:42:32.000 It's a comedian's job.
00:42:34.000 And then it shifted once social media became so big and everyone's opinion, you can anonymously just say whatever you want, dude.
00:42:43.000 You want to say something racist anonymously, you have to write it on a bathroom wall.
00:42:47.000 You have to be like, I hate N words.
00:42:49.000 Right.
00:42:50.000 On the wall in a market.
00:42:51.000 I'm not taking a shit.
00:42:52.000 And then somebody else responds to it underneath it, and they're like, Well, yeah, I hate you, Cracker.
00:42:55.000 And then it goes, That was always fun.
00:42:57.000 Like, bathroom walls were fun.
00:42:58.000 Oh, yeah.
00:42:59.000 A phone number.
00:43:00.000 Call this number.
00:43:01.000 You give your ex girlfriend's phone number on the wall.
00:43:03.000 Yeah, of course.
00:43:04.000 Yeah.
00:43:05.000 Those are the days.
00:43:06.000 The original doxing.
00:43:07.000 Well, it sounds also, those are like the original message board.
00:43:11.000 Yeah.
00:43:13.000 It's the original YouTube comments.
00:43:14.000 Right.
00:43:15.000 That's the original comments on an ex post.
00:43:17.000 Is the bathroom wall.
00:43:18.000 And that's the only thing.
00:43:18.000 That's it.
00:43:19.000 That's as far as it can go.
00:43:20.000 Was maybe 12 people a day would see your shit anonymously.
00:43:25.000 But it felt so good.
00:43:26.000 Just N I G.
00:43:27.000 I can't remember any interracial.
00:43:29.000 During a squastica?
00:43:31.000 During a squastica?
00:43:48.000 Like it used to be normal.
00:43:50.000 Like everybody was racist.
00:43:52.000 The whole world was racist.
00:43:53.000 I think everyone is bigoted.
00:43:56.000 Well, it's a little different than racist, right?
00:43:57.000 Well, everyone was tribal, right?
00:43:59.000 Like you could only trust the 150 people that you lived with.
00:44:04.000 You could barely trust them.
00:44:05.000 You could barely trust them.
00:44:07.000 They were probably trying to be the tribal chief and fuck people over and fuck the chief's wife.
00:44:11.000 That shit's always gone on.
00:44:13.000 But for sure, if there was a group that you didn't know and they showed up, they were there to kill you.
00:44:20.000 100%.
00:44:21.000 A bunch of guys show up.
00:44:22.000 There's 15 guys.
00:44:23.000 They show up, but they're trying to kill you.
00:44:25.000 Well, also, pre internet, you had to coexist.
00:44:29.000 The only people you can communicate with, you go to the grocery store, it's an Indian guy or a black guy or a Puerto Rican guy.
00:44:34.000 It's like, no, I got to buy a tomato.
00:44:35.000 So we're just going to do what we need.
00:44:37.000 I'm going to give you my dollar.
00:44:38.000 You're going to give me a tomato, and I'm going to say, have a good day.
00:44:40.000 This is an America in a city in the 20th century and then the 21st century.
00:44:45.000 What I'm saying is we're hardwired for the olden days.
00:44:49.000 This is why it's so easy to get people to join a team, whether it be a Democrat or be a Republican or MAGA or whatever the fuck it is.
00:44:49.000 Right.
00:44:57.000 It's so easy because people are programmed to be in tribes.
00:45:01.000 Right.
00:45:01.000 Yeah.
00:45:02.000 And they want an identity.
00:45:03.000 Yeah.
00:45:04.000 And there's an enemy.
00:45:04.000 It's easier to say.
00:45:05.000 They want an enemy, too.
00:45:06.000 Yep.
00:45:07.000 You feel like you're on a side.
00:45:10.000 You don't really have to do much thinking.
00:45:11.000 Exactly.
00:45:12.000 Like whatever they say, I agree with.
00:45:14.000 It also gives you comfort that you're surrounded by other people.
00:45:17.000 I used to think that when I was young, when I would watch religious preachers on television, I was watching those, like, these Islamic guys, and they were talking about Islam.
00:45:26.000 And the way the certainty in the fact that what they were saying was true, like, the way they were saying, like, all these other religions mean nothing because Islam is the truth.
00:45:36.000 And they were like, yep.
00:45:37.000 They believed it.
00:45:39.000 I'm like, it must feel great to believe something 100% like that.
00:45:44.000 And to have a bunch of other people around you that also believe it.
00:45:48.000 100% no ifs, ands, or buts.
00:45:50.000 But we've all, the reality is.
00:45:53.000 No one knows about anything until you experience it.
00:45:57.000 Yeah.
00:45:58.000 So you don't really know what's going to happen in heaven.
00:46:01.000 If heaven's real, you don't know any of that.
00:46:03.000 No.
00:46:03.000 But you're so convinced.
00:46:06.000 And my question is, by what?
00:46:09.000 I wish I had any sort of spiritual faith.
00:46:12.000 That's what I keep saying.
00:46:14.000 Come up with a good cult.
00:46:15.000 Doggie, I just can't.
00:46:15.000 I'll join it.
00:46:18.000 Since I was a little kid, I remember just being a little kid and having the thought God's not real.
00:46:23.000 And then trying, because I was raised Catholic, just suppressing it, being like, I can't think that I'm going to burn in hell if I even think the idea that God isn't real.
00:46:29.000 It's like, what a weird psychotic thing to do to a five-year-old kid.
00:46:33.000 Yeah.
00:46:34.000 And yeah, it's like, Yeah, you sort of like that.
00:46:34.000 You know?
00:46:39.000 The idea of faith, it actually seems like really kind of freeing.
00:46:43.000 Like the idea of, dude, I'm going to die and I'm going to go to the kingdom of heaven and I'm going to experience everything that I've ever wanted.
00:46:48.000 I mean, that sounds incredible.
00:46:50.000 It's for me, it's like I feel like I'm counting down until I'm going to sleep forever.
00:46:54.000 Like I have nothing after I really don't believe in any of that.
00:46:57.000 When people get into like these heated, passionate, like debates about certain things, like abortion is a great topic for this concept.
00:47:04.000 When you're trying to convince somebody that's religious, like to be pro life, you're like, you don't understand what's going on there, dude.
00:47:10.000 They believe you're murdering a baby.
00:47:13.000 You're not going to convince somebody that, like, oh, well, let me try to break this down for you right now.
00:47:18.000 Let me try to give you a different angle on this.
00:47:19.000 No, no, they believe that that's a life, a conception.
00:47:21.000 They believe it's a soul.
00:47:22.000 They really fucking believe that deep down.
00:47:25.000 And that is like, I kind of go, well, I respect that.
00:47:27.000 Like, I'm not going to, like, I'm pro life, right?
00:47:30.000 I was raised by women and I just kind of grew up in New York.
00:47:33.000 We always sort of had that sensibility.
00:47:34.000 Do you mean pro choice?
00:47:35.000 Is that what you're saying?
00:47:36.000 I'm sorry, I'm pro choice.
00:47:37.000 I apologize.
00:47:38.000 But when my son was born, or even when I first saw the heartbeat, I remember I was like, that's a life right there.
00:47:44.000 The heartbeat, that six weeks, whatever it was, I was like, that's a fucking life right there.
00:47:47.000 But when you're dealing with religious people who believe that that's a soul and that it's like the second it's conceived, you're trying to convince them that it's okay to kill a baby.
00:47:55.000 Right.
00:47:56.000 And it's never going to happen.
00:47:58.000 Yeah, no, it's never going to happen.
00:48:00.000 And I don't know who's right.
00:48:03.000 That's the real problem.
00:48:04.000 Like, for convenience sake and for living your life on your own terms sake.
00:48:09.000 And see, my take on it is first of all, I'm not a woman.
00:48:15.000 And if you're talking about this and there's no chance of you ever getting pregnant, that's a weird thing.
00:48:21.000 Because you, like, conceptually, yeah, that's a life.
00:48:26.000 No doubt.
00:48:26.000 I mean, not even conceptually, objectively, it's a life.
00:48:29.000 It's going to become a human.
00:48:31.000 But who.
00:48:33.000 Like, who am I to say, especially in cases of like incest and rape and you know, crazy shit?
00:48:40.000 Who am I to say that you have to raise that kid?
00:48:42.000 That you have to, that life has to, you have to change your body for the next nine months, maybe irrevocably.
00:48:50.000 I mean, maybe it'll just change your body forever.
00:48:52.000 Maybe you'll have stretch marks forever.
00:48:53.000 Oh, yeah.
00:48:54.000 Because of this, because of this horrible thing that happened to you, because everybody says that this life is precious.
00:48:59.000 Like, every time you got to feed a breakfast, you got to fucking.
00:49:02.000 If that was for men, if men got pregnant.
00:49:05.000 Abortion would be at gas stations.
00:49:07.000 Fill it up and take it out.
00:49:08.000 It would be, there's not a fucking chance in hell.
00:49:12.000 That's a bit.
00:49:13.000 There's not a chance in hell that it would be a debate.
00:49:15.000 Yeah.
00:49:16.000 It wouldn't be a debate.
00:49:17.000 If men make the laws and men could get pregnant, men would have abortions everywhere.
00:49:23.000 Yeah.
00:49:23.000 There's no fucking chance you'd be able to tell another man that he's going to have to keep a baby.
00:49:27.000 Yeah.
00:49:27.000 No.
00:49:29.000 It's very complex, and I understand both sides of it.
00:49:32.000 You know, I really do.
00:49:34.000 When people say that's a life, it's like, I'm like, I really get that.
00:49:36.000 And when people go like it's a woman's body and sort of race to choose, if she wants to eject this from her body before a certain time, it's a weird thing.
00:49:45.000 Is like at what point in time?
00:49:46.000 Like, could you stop it when it's a clump of cells?
00:49:49.000 Can you stop it when it's almost a fetus?
00:49:51.000 You know what I mean?
00:49:52.000 Like, it gets it's it's such a human problem in that there's no it's it's a weird fucking sloppy concept.
00:50:01.000 I think when it grows a nose, yeah, before it hits it, before it grows a nose or fingers, it's going to be a kid that maybe wins an Olympic gold medal if it's got webbed fingers still.
00:50:10.000 It could be a kid that is Sabrina Carpenter and is on stage in front of all those people.
00:50:14.000 You know what I mean?
00:50:15.000 That's the weird thing about life.
00:50:16.000 It could be somebody that changes the world.
00:50:18.000 It could be.
00:50:18.000 Literally, yeah, yeah.
00:50:19.000 If you look at like child development, like month to month, I mean, when my son was being born, I was just like obsessively like looking at it.
00:50:26.000 It starts looking like a baby way earlier than you think.
00:50:29.000 And the problem is you can still abort it when it looks like a fucking baby.
00:50:33.000 And that's, it's just a.
00:50:34.000 Well, you could abort it when it is a baby.
00:50:36.000 In certain cases.
00:50:36.000 Oh, yeah.
00:50:37.000 Well, yeah, if it's like medically.
00:50:38.000 I knew a guy, his girlfriend had a late term abortion and it was horrible.
00:50:43.000 Jesus.
00:50:44.000 Horrible to know that, like, she was showing.
00:50:47.000 It was.
00:50:49.000 Well, there was that one.
00:50:49.000 This was in the 90s.
00:50:50.000 There was a one video that went viral a while ago, and it was like they were talking to somebody in an abortion clinic with, like, a hidden cell phone camera.
00:50:57.000 And they were like, well, what happens if you abort the fetus, you remove the fetus, and it's still alive, like, on the table?
00:51:05.000 And they were like, well, we would have to at least extinguish life or something like that.
00:51:09.000 It was, like, pretty fucking crazy.
00:51:11.000 It's like, so when the baby's out, you're going to kill the baby.
00:51:11.000 Yeah.
00:51:14.000 It's called what it is.
00:51:14.000 You're just going to kill it.
00:51:15.000 You're going to kill a baby.
00:51:17.000 It's bonkers.
00:51:18.000 And that's why, like, you could understand why Christians would think that's demonic.
00:51:22.000 Yeah.
00:51:24.000 I think anyone would think that's demonic.
00:51:26.000 Yeah, you could totally understand that.
00:51:27.000 And to ignore that and throw it into this no, but I, you know, I believe in the woman's right to choose.
00:51:34.000 Okay, me too.
00:51:35.000 But what's that?
00:51:36.000 Yeah.
00:51:36.000 Like, what are we saying here?
00:51:37.000 Like, you're going to just kill the baby when it's alive outside the womb?
00:51:42.000 Like, could it grow up and become one of your friends?
00:51:42.000 Is it viable?
00:51:45.000 Yeah.
00:51:47.000 Maybe.
00:51:47.000 Like, what are we doing?
00:51:48.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:51:50.000 Could that baby grow up?
00:51:52.000 Yeah.
00:51:52.000 And just live.
00:51:53.000 And just have a wonderful life and have a great job.
00:51:56.000 It's fucking weird, man.
00:51:59.000 Because, like, what is life and why it's very precious to us?
00:52:03.000 Because if we don't have it, then we don't have a say in what's going on.
00:52:06.000 But we're really just a fucking bunch of atoms and particles and molecules and everything's spinning around at a different frequency.
00:52:14.000 Your mushrooms are kicking in, Joe.
00:52:14.000 That's what we really are.
00:52:16.000 They're not even.
00:52:17.000 I'm just saying, like, we're so obsessed with life.
00:52:21.000 And that's why this is such a fascinating conversation.
00:52:21.000 Yeah.
00:52:25.000 It's also a fascinating conversation because men can't get pregnant.
00:52:28.000 Yeah.
00:52:28.000 It's a weird conversation.
00:52:29.000 Well, I think they can, right?
00:52:30.000 They can carry the baby.
00:52:31.000 We can't get pregnant, but I think you could.
00:52:32.000 Well, they're talking to transmitters talking about getting uteruses implanted in their body and then getting pregnant and having an abortion.
00:52:38.000 I want to be the first person to do that.
00:52:41.000 It just shows you how trans is really healthy.
00:52:44.000 That's pretty hilarious.
00:52:46.000 It would be a good bit.
00:52:47.000 It'd be something a Steve O would do.
00:52:49.000 It really would be.
00:52:51.000 It is.
00:52:52.000 I'm going to put a baby and abort it.
00:52:54.000 How fucking great is that?
00:52:55.000 Yeah, he would do it if there wouldn't be any social pushback.
00:52:55.000 That's funny.
00:52:58.000 Yeah.
00:52:58.000 Yeah.
00:52:59.000 That one's, you know, it's tough.
00:53:00.000 A little bit of a tough one.
00:53:01.000 He almost got tit implants.
00:53:03.000 He told me that.
00:53:03.000 I know.
00:53:04.000 That's crazy.
00:53:05.000 Don't do that.
00:53:05.000 It's nuts.
00:53:06.000 Yeah.
00:53:07.000 Ouch.
00:53:08.000 You're going to get your chest carved open?
00:53:09.000 Can you get a dick tattooed on his face?
00:53:11.000 Yes.
00:53:11.000 Right over his eyebrow.
00:53:11.000 He's insane.
00:53:12.000 He's a lunatic.
00:53:13.000 It took me like a few seconds to realize it was a dick, too.
00:53:15.000 I was like, okay.
00:53:17.000 Last time I saw you, you didn't have that, right?
00:53:19.000 Yeah.
00:53:20.000 He's a fucking wild one.
00:53:22.000 That nuclear scientist thing or the UFO scientist thing, is there anything through that?
00:53:26.000 Do we?
00:53:27.000 No.
00:53:29.000 Why don't you throw that into our ad, our sponsor perplexity?
00:53:33.000 What does it say?
00:53:36.000 It's obviously an online link.
00:53:38.000 Right.
00:53:39.000 But I mean, the White House is investigating this.
00:53:41.000 They're bringing it up.
00:53:42.000 They're investigating it because so many people are asking about it.
00:53:44.000 Oh, it's that easy?
00:53:46.000 Let's find out if Michelle Obama has a dick.
00:53:50.000 Imagine.
00:53:51.000 If the White House is like, we have an unprecedented number of people asking this question, it's our duty to do the work for the American people.
00:54:00.000 They do.
00:54:02.000 Why?
00:54:03.000 They all had a security clearance and all happened to work in similar fields like nuclear fission, fusion.
00:54:10.000 Okay.
00:54:11.000 So, what ties the 11 together?
00:54:13.000 Many have recently clearances or indirect access to sensitive government work, often via NASA, the Department of Energy's nuclear labs, the Air Force, or major defense contractors.
00:54:22.000 Their deaths or disappearances occurred between 2022 and early 2026, clustered enough in time to draw political and media attention.
00:54:32.000 The White House has ordered agencies such as FBI, NASA, the Department of Energy, and the Department of War to perform link analysis to see if there's any pattern beyond coincidence.
00:54:43.000 So one of them was real weird, where there was like a lady who was hiking and she was with a bunch of friends.
00:54:52.000 Her friend turned around and asked her a question.
00:54:54.000 She talked to her and then she turned around again and she was gone.
00:54:59.000 And they have no idea what happened.
00:55:01.000 They never found a body.
00:55:03.000 They brought the dogs in, the dogs couldn't find her.
00:55:08.000 Just gone.
00:55:09.000 That's it.
00:55:10.000 But here's my question.
00:55:11.000 If I was her and I thought that they were trying to whack me and I was going hiking with my friends and I was at the back of the line, that's where I'd be if I was going to make a run for it, right?
00:55:23.000 If I thought all these people were bringing me up there, these fucking fellow scientists to chuck me off the cliff, I might be in the back and then I might, if I'm paranoid, maybe I ate an edible before I went on this hike to be a little closer to nature and I'd look at that person in front of me.
00:55:35.000 I'm like, I'm going to wait until they turn that right around that turn and I'm Fucking like Homer Simpson into the bushes, and then she just fucking booked it down that hill and hopped in her car, got an Uber waiting for her, disappeared.
00:55:50.000 Case you're thinking of is Monica Jacinto Reza, 60 year old aerospace engineer linked to NASA, JPL, and advanced rocket engine materials research.
00:56:00.000 She disappeared on June 22nd, 2025, while hiking in the Angeles National Forest, Los Angeles County, on a well traveled trail.
00:56:08.000 I know where that place is, I've been to that spot.
00:56:11.000 Reports say she was hiking with at least one friend and companion.
00:56:14.000 The friend was roughly 30 feet ahead, turned to check on her, saw her smile and wave that she was fine.
00:56:20.000 That a short time later, looked back again and she was gone.
00:56:24.000 Despite intensive searches, no confirmed trace of her has been found, and her case is now one of the central examples of missing or dead scientist cluster being reviewed by federal agencies.
00:56:37.000 Yeah.
00:56:38.000 That's weird.
00:56:39.000 She disappeared.
00:56:41.000 She saw all these other scientists being murdered, and she was like, I'm out.
00:56:41.000 She was like, fuck this.
00:56:44.000 Right?
00:56:45.000 Because if you were a scientist, you'd probably be paying attention to other scientists getting whacked.
00:56:48.000 Oh, yeah.
00:56:49.000 On the same projects?
00:56:49.000 Especially if somebody started talking.
00:56:51.000 You're in an empty office.
00:56:52.000 You're in the coffee station, and someone's like, Did you hear what happened to Ted?
00:56:57.000 Ted's dead.
00:56:58.000 He shot himself and killed him twice.
00:57:03.000 Wait a minute.
00:57:03.000 From long range.
00:57:04.000 Anti-gravity Ted?
00:57:05.000 Anti-gravity Ted is dead.
00:57:08.000 He killed himself with a sniper rifle.
00:57:09.000 It was pretty crazy.
00:57:10.000 Get the fuck out of here.
00:57:11.000 I'm going hiking with Monica.
00:57:11.000 Yeah.
00:57:12.000 I don't fucking trust Monica.
00:57:14.000 Fuck that.
00:57:15.000 Monica's trying to kill you.
00:57:17.000 She's out there hiking and Monica turns and waves at her.
00:57:20.000 I don't trust hiking.
00:57:21.000 She was probably fucking killed by a bear or a mountain lion.
00:57:25.000 You could get got.
00:57:26.000 That's crazy.
00:57:26.000 I don't know if people like it.
00:57:27.000 My friend Cam, his brother, almost got killed by a mountain lion and had this crazy story about it.
00:57:33.000 And he's like a distance runner.
00:57:34.000 He's one of those ultra marathon guys.
00:57:36.000 Yeah.
00:57:37.000 And his brother told this video about what had happened to him.
00:57:41.000 He was running down the road and it was like dusk out, like starting to get dark.
00:57:45.000 And he saw these eyes, these glowing eyes in the bushes.
00:57:49.000 And he yelled at it because he thought it was a coyote.
00:57:51.000 And it stands up and it's a fucking mountain lion.
00:57:54.000 And so then it starts chasing him.
00:57:56.000 And he goes, I couldn't have used pepper spray because if I did, I would have sprayed myself because it was that close.
00:58:03.000 Wow.
00:58:04.000 He goes, I yelled at it.
00:58:05.000 I kicked rocks at it.
00:58:06.000 It kept.
00:58:07.000 And he goes, I just ran.
00:58:08.000 He goes, I think the thing that might have saved me was a bunch of dogs were barking.
00:58:12.000 Wow.
00:58:13.000 And it might have thought the dogs were out there.
00:58:14.000 You're not outrunning a mountain lion.
00:58:16.000 No.
00:58:17.000 It was running behind him, but not like 100% committed to killing him yet.
00:58:17.000 No.
00:58:22.000 Wow.
00:58:24.000 That's scary.
00:58:25.000 Yeah, nature is fucking scary.
00:58:26.000 And people are like, we need to make an overpass in Los Angeles near these homes so the mountain lion can get across the fucking track.
00:58:35.000 No, any retard mountain lion that goes across the 405 should get obliterated.
00:58:41.000 That's nature.
00:58:42.000 That's nature.
00:58:43.000 Hey, you thought that fucking semi wasn't dangerous, you retarded cat?
00:58:48.000 That's a retarded cat.
00:58:49.000 Yes, it is.
00:58:50.000 That cat, probably his brother fucked his sister, and that's how he was born.
00:58:55.000 And now he's a dumbass, and he's supposed to get taken out.
00:58:57.000 By a Subaru.
00:58:58.000 Did you ever see that?
00:59:00.000 It was like all these inbred tigers.
00:59:02.000 Yeah.
00:59:02.000 Oh, white tigers.
00:59:03.000 Yeah, dude.
00:59:04.000 And they were all like fucking goofy.
00:59:05.000 They had one at the Austin Zoo.
00:59:06.000 They were retorted to it.
00:59:07.000 I went to visit the Austin Zoo and you looked at them and you're like, hey, what's going on?
00:59:11.000 Their tongues are hanging out.
00:59:12.000 Yeah, they're goofy looking.
00:59:14.000 A bunch of those white ones are inbred because that's a weird, like, genetic thing, I guess, to have a white one.
00:59:20.000 Cute, though.
00:59:21.000 I took my son to that tiger, not the Tiger King, but it was the other guy, the one who's in jail for tax evasion now.
00:59:29.000 Tiger King's in jail for murder.
00:59:30.000 Yeah, no, no, no.
00:59:32.000 It was one of the guys.
00:59:33.000 Not for murder, but for like trying to get someone murdered.
00:59:36.000 What the fuck's his name?
00:59:36.000 The other guy.
00:59:37.000 He was the one who had all the girlfriends.
00:59:39.000 Oh, the guy ran the little cult.
00:59:41.000 Yeah.
00:59:41.000 The little cult going on.
00:59:42.000 Yeah, dude.
00:59:43.000 I brought my son there, and it was him, dude.
00:59:45.000 He came out when they presented the elephant.
00:59:46.000 It was.
00:59:47.000 Why am I blanking on his name?
00:59:50.000 Doc Antle.
00:59:51.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:59:52.000 He brought the elephant out himself.
00:59:53.000 It was, dude, it was such a fun show.
00:59:55.000 Like, it was like a half day.
00:59:56.000 It was like four or five hours.
00:59:57.000 So he went to jail for what?
00:59:58.000 Tax evasion.
00:59:59.000 Oh, he's fucking.
01:00:01.000 Pay your taxes, people.
01:00:02.000 It's the dumbest way to get got.
01:00:02.000 Yeah.
01:00:04.000 Yeah, it's crazy.
01:00:05.000 Oh, and while, yeah, money laundering charge.
01:00:06.000 I'm sorry, money laundering.
01:00:08.000 Yeah.
01:00:09.000 Wildlife trafficking and money laundering.
01:00:11.000 That's a lot different than not paying your taxes.
01:00:14.000 They have all of these baby tigers that they bring out, but they only have like two adult tigers.
01:00:17.000 So what are they doing with these baby tigers?
01:00:18.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:00:19.000 Go back to that.
01:00:20.000 Hold on.
01:00:21.000 Make that larger.
01:00:22.000 What does it say here?
01:00:24.000 It says 12 months for pleading guilty for a conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act and launder more than $500,000 for what he believed to be an operation to smuggle.
01:00:35.000 Illegal immigrants into the United States across the Mexico border.
01:00:39.000 Oh, so this is a lot different than that.
01:00:42.000 Like, he was getting illegal immigrants across the border for money.
01:00:45.000 He was, yeah, he was.
01:00:48.000 That's crazy.
01:00:50.000 So, that's not just like wildlife stuff and taxes.
01:00:54.000 Like, this guy was like illegal immigrant trafficking.
01:00:56.000 Yeah, this guy was a bad dude, probably.
01:01:00.000 But he did have a bunch of like just a sweet cult going on.
01:01:03.000 Young hot chicks.
01:01:04.000 I knew a girl that I dated who went and interviewed, and she was like, it felt like I was interviewing for porn.
01:01:10.000 I showed up and it was like, oh, no, no.
01:01:11.000 The other girls were like, oh, you're going to have to be a part of this.
01:01:15.000 Well, the thing about this guy.
01:01:15.000 Yeah.
01:01:16.000 But for a baby tiger, dude, I got to be honest with you.
01:01:18.000 They're really cute.
01:01:19.000 They're adorable.
01:01:20.000 I get it.
01:01:20.000 Women are so fucking dumb.
01:01:21.000 They're like, baby tigers, I'll suck his dick.
01:01:23.000 Fine.
01:01:24.000 Well, I think they just want to belong to something.
01:01:26.000 And this guy comes along and he's charismatic and you belong to his little family.
01:01:31.000 They're all hanging out together, blowing this one fat guy.
01:01:31.000 Family of five girls.
01:01:35.000 Fat guy.
01:01:37.000 It's good.
01:01:39.000 Smuggling Mexicans and murdering baby tigers.
01:01:41.000 Well, that's the thing about those kind of guys.
01:01:43.000 This is why I was going to say about the smuggling in the Mexicans.
01:01:46.000 Those kind of guys are never happy with whatever they've gotten away with.
01:01:50.000 They always want to keep pushing.
01:01:52.000 He was not happy that he's an ugly guy with a cult of hot chicks.
01:01:56.000 You did it.
01:01:57.000 And tigers.
01:01:57.000 You're a millionaire.
01:01:58.000 You have tigers and hot chicks.
01:01:59.000 And here's what you need.
01:02:00.000 You're in a TV show.
01:02:01.000 You're good.
01:02:01.000 You're good.
01:02:02.000 You don't have to smuggle in the Mexicans, too.
01:02:04.000 But those kind of guys are always, they just can't stop pushing.
01:02:07.000 Yeah.
01:02:07.000 Can't stop pushing.
01:02:09.000 Yeah, I think, yeah, it's whatever it is.
01:02:12.000 Whatever level it is, you always want to level up, no matter what.
01:02:14.000 No matter what.
01:02:15.000 Bobby Kelly said that to me about Louis back in the day.
01:02:18.000 He was like, you know, because we're all, everyone's an insecure comedian.
01:02:21.000 Everyone in New York's insecure.
01:02:23.000 Everyone in LA and Austin, you guys fucking, you guys fucking love life.
01:02:26.000 You're just living life to your fullest.
01:02:28.000 Everyone in New York's like, I'm going to kill myself.
01:02:30.000 I hate fucking life.
01:02:30.000 It sucks.
01:02:31.000 I think it's the environment.
01:02:32.000 Yeah, well, it's a rough city.
01:02:33.000 It's a really rough city.
01:02:34.000 It's a great city.
01:02:35.000 It's awesome.
01:02:36.000 Oh, it's an amazing city.
01:02:37.000 But cities in general is a weird concept.
01:02:41.000 Shoving a bunch of people.
01:02:42.000 Way too close to each other for long periods of time.
01:02:46.000 It has an effect.
01:02:47.000 It's also like, it's just a rough city, dude.
01:02:51.000 Even on the highest level, if you're doing well, you still got to fucking walk up those subway stairs and it's just hot air in the summertime down.
01:02:58.000 If you can try to take the subway or sitting in New York traffic or just crazy homeless people walking around, you got to really want to be there to stand it.
01:03:07.000 I did it for 20 years.
01:03:08.000 I moved to the suburbs during the pandemic and I still love New York.
01:03:12.000 I go to New York a few times a week still.
01:03:13.000 But it is.
01:03:15.000 It is definitely a young man city where you gotta be there to, like, I'm trying to become the best comic or a dancer or work on Wall Street or whatever it is.
01:03:22.000 That's true, but I know a lot of old people that love it too, man.
01:03:24.000 They'll never leave.
01:03:25.000 They love it.
01:03:26.000 Well, they get used to the life.
01:03:27.000 They love the energy.
01:03:29.000 There's just people around them all the time.
01:03:31.000 There's something going on everywhere you look.
01:03:34.000 You can get food at three o'clock in the morning.
01:03:35.000 You could, I mean, if you're a city person like Ari, it's the greatest place on earth.
01:03:42.000 There's no place like New York City.
01:03:43.000 Ari spends, I don't even know how much on rent, but probably.
01:03:47.000 $50,000 a month for a room where you can touch all the walls.
01:03:50.000 It's crazy.
01:03:51.000 It's stupid.
01:03:52.000 It's stupid.
01:03:53.000 And now, if you're rich and you own property and you don't stay there, they're going to tax you more.
01:03:59.000 There's a new thing that Mamdani just came out with.
01:04:01.000 And everyone's like, yeah, fuck the billionaires.
01:04:04.000 I'm like, okay.
01:04:05.000 Fuck the billionaires until it's fuck the thousandaires.
01:04:07.000 It's not even just billionaires.
01:04:10.000 You don't have to be particularly wealthy to own property.
01:04:13.000 It's a good investment with the money that you have.
01:04:16.000 Right.
01:04:16.000 But this particular bill is about.
01:04:18.000 More than $5 million valued homes.
01:04:21.000 So if you have an apartment in New York City, it's worth more than $5 million.
01:04:25.000 You get taxed more.
01:04:27.000 And he's like saying it won't be that big a deal and it'll give the city $500 million in extra revenue that they could use for all kinds of things that they want to do.
01:04:37.000 Which is great if you've cut out all the fraud.
01:04:42.000 But you haven't.
01:04:43.000 And so you're not even concentrating on the fraud.
01:04:45.000 You're not even admitting the fraud exists.
01:04:46.000 You're not even admitting the waste exists.
01:04:49.000 How about you tell us where all the money is?
01:04:53.000 To NGOs went.
01:04:54.000 How about you tell us that?
01:04:55.000 How about you tell us where all the homeless money went?
01:04:58.000 What did you spend it on?
01:04:59.000 There's all these homeless people.
01:05:01.000 It seems like someone didn't do a good job and got a lot of money.
01:05:04.000 What happened?
01:05:05.000 And you want more money?
01:05:06.000 That's the crazy answer.
01:05:08.000 And it's also like the idea that rich people are inherently privileged.
01:05:11.000 It's very bizarre.
01:05:12.000 Like, I'm not rich, but I do pretty well.
01:05:14.000 Like, I do better than, you know, much better than the average American financially, you know?
01:05:19.000 A lot of people would consider me, you know, pretty well to do, but like, I grew up.
01:05:23.000 Welfare, drug addict, mother, dad stabbed when I was four years old.
01:05:26.000 I had to fucking, I spent 15 years doing comedy, making zero dollars, investing into this thing to hopefully one day on the other side of it be able to reap the benefits of it.
01:05:37.000 So now that I've finally broken through to the other side, you're like, oh, well, no, you don't deserve all that money.
01:05:41.000 We deserve some of that money.
01:05:42.000 That's crazy.
01:05:42.000 Yeah.
01:05:43.000 There's a weird concept in this country, and it's because of the billionaire class.
01:05:48.000 So there's a level of the game where they've passed so far.
01:05:53.000 See, if everybody only got, this is like what people would like to say.
01:05:56.000 You know, being a millionaire is fine.
01:05:58.000 Nobody should be a billionaire.
01:05:59.000 We should have a cap on wealth.
01:06:01.000 The problem with that is you're going to also have a cap on motivation.
01:06:06.000 So, a lot of these people are psychopaths.
01:06:08.000 A lot of these people that run these corporations are fucking psychopaths and they work 16 hours a day, seven days a week.
01:06:14.000 And the only reason why they do that is because they know that they can make $100 billion if they do that.
01:06:21.000 And if you stop that, you're going to stop iPhones.
01:06:25.000 You're not going to have Lenovo laptops.
01:06:28.000 You're not going to have any of these things.
01:06:30.000 That's where it's weird for people.
01:06:32.000 You're not going to have an Amazon unless you have a guy who's a billionaire.
01:06:36.000 See, the thing is, they know it's not fair.
01:06:39.000 You're right, it's not fair.
01:06:41.000 And here's the thing.
01:06:41.000 Would it be better?
01:06:43.000 It is fair.
01:06:45.000 Life is kind of fair in a weird way.
01:06:47.000 Oh, please.
01:06:47.000 Depending on how you treat your employees.
01:06:49.000 Okay.
01:06:50.000 That's where we decide whether or not it's fair.
01:06:52.000 So you're saying that Amazon doesn't treat their employees well?
01:06:54.000 I hear that a lot.
01:06:55.000 I hear that a lot too.
01:06:56.000 I don't know if it's true.
01:06:57.000 But what I do know is that there's a lot of fucking complaints.
01:07:01.000 And if there's a lot of, where there's smoke, probably some fire.
01:07:04.000 I know that there's like some efficiency things where you have like a clock ticks off.
01:07:08.000 Like if you order a fucking box of legal pads, you know, those little notebooks.
01:07:14.000 You have to, this guy has to get that in the box in like 30 seconds, whatever the fuck it is.
01:07:19.000 So he has to run around.
01:07:20.000 Like, people are literally like moving quickly around the warehouse.
01:07:23.000 Yeah, they're like, you hear stories, and once again, you have to take everything with a grain of salt.
01:07:27.000 Like, employees become bitter sometimes.
01:07:28.000 You know what I'm saying?
01:07:29.000 Like, most people hate their boss.
01:07:31.000 True, but that job does sound like it sucks, and it sounds like you're asking people to run around because you want to make the most money possible, but you're paying them not that great.
01:07:39.000 Like, that's a weird one because you're also setting up the inevitable, which is robots.
01:07:44.000 Right.
01:07:45.000 Because they're going to be able to do that way easier and quicker.
01:07:47.000 They're going to know exactly where the product is.
01:07:49.000 They're not going to have to look on their fucking little iPad.
01:07:51.000 They're going to know exactly where it is.
01:07:53.000 They're going to go right to it, package it.
01:07:54.000 They're going to print out instantaneously.
01:07:56.000 They're never going to the bathroom.
01:07:58.000 Never taking a lunch break.
01:07:59.000 They don't need food.
01:08:00.000 Nope.
01:08:01.000 They never complain.
01:08:02.000 You're fucked no matter what.
01:08:03.000 Because they're going to lay off a bunch of people.
01:08:05.000 There's no if, ands, or buts.
01:08:06.000 Oh, yeah.
01:08:07.000 That is going to be really effective.
01:08:09.000 You're talking about how AI and robots are going to affect certain industries, driving, factory workers, things like that.
01:08:15.000 That's all just going away.
01:08:16.000 Yeah, that's the real threat to your job, not the billionaires.
01:08:20.000 The thing is, you see a guy.
01:08:22.000 Whether it's like Elon Musk or someone like I think Elon's supposedly worth like 800 billion now.
01:08:26.000 That's it.
01:08:27.000 And people just get really angry.
01:08:29.000 Really get upset.
01:08:30.000 And think about how much that would help if he gave his money away.
01:08:33.000 And I get what you're saying.
01:08:35.000 But the problem is give the money away to who?
01:08:39.000 Give the money away to the people that have fucked up the money that we've already given them?
01:08:43.000 You've got to be honest about.
01:08:45.000 Look, the idea is great.
01:08:46.000 Wouldn't it be wonderful if Elon Musk just gave away $100 billion and we completely fixed all poverty and no more food problems, no starvation on earth?
01:08:59.000 The idea that.
01:09:00.000 Throwing money at homeless people is just going to fix the problem.
01:09:04.000 Exactly.
01:09:04.000 I mean, I'm, believe me, I have empathy.
01:09:07.000 I'm not going like, oh, fuck the homeless.
01:09:09.000 I don't have that attitude at all.
01:09:10.000 But at the same time, it's like, wherever you go, there you are.
01:09:13.000 The idea of giving the government money to fix things.
01:09:16.000 Oh, that's crazy.
01:09:17.000 That's insane.
01:09:18.000 That's actually, if you ever try to go to a government building, you see the inefficiency.
01:09:23.000 If you just try to call to get some information about your taxes, if you try to call the IRS, you see the inefficiency.
01:09:29.000 You're like, there's no fucking way, dude.
01:09:31.000 And it's just, honestly, it's designed to.
01:09:32.000 To be that way.
01:09:33.000 It's designed to be really intricate and difficult, and there's a lot of people that have to get paid.
01:09:37.000 So it's like that.
01:09:38.000 And that's why I was so excited about Elon and Trump getting together and doing the Doge.
01:09:43.000 Yeah, yeah, Doge.
01:09:44.000 I was like, what a great idea.
01:09:45.000 Two real brilliant business minds trying to figure out government efficiency and trying to save us money.
01:09:50.000 I was like, they're going to do it.
01:09:51.000 And of course, nothing happened.
01:09:52.000 Well, some things happened.
01:09:54.000 A lot of things did get shut down.
01:09:56.000 And it also opened up people out of the box.
01:09:58.000 People fought back against that.
01:09:59.000 People fought back against that.
01:10:02.000 And when people found out how many NGOs there are and how much money gets spent, they're like, wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:10:08.000 Can we get an accounting of this stuff?
01:10:10.000 Like, this sounds nuts.
01:10:11.000 There's so much money that's being sent out to these nonprofits and these organizations.
01:10:17.000 Like, did you hear when Spencer Pratt was on the podcast?
01:10:21.000 He's running for mayor of New York, excuse me, of Los Angeles.
01:10:21.000 No, I didn't.
01:10:25.000 And one of the things that he was talking about was the fire aid.
01:10:29.000 Like, so the money that they generated, over $100 million was generated.
01:10:34.000 For the people that lost their homes in the Pacific Palisades fire, all of it went to these NGOs.
01:10:41.000 Like it went to, he said, what did he say?
01:10:41.000 Right.
01:10:43.000 20 different, how many different, 200 different?
01:10:46.000 I think it was 200 different.
01:10:49.000 200 different nonprofits got the money that was supposed to go to the houses, the people that lost their house.
01:10:55.000 $100 million, and they just divvied it up.
01:10:58.000 And how much of that money goes to nonprofits?
01:11:00.000 20% goes to actual people.
01:11:01.000 The rest is.
01:11:02.000 They don't even know how many people are getting benefit from it.
01:11:06.000 Yeah.
01:11:07.000 I mean, there's lists of charities and nonprofits and what the percentage is that actually goes to people.
01:11:13.000 But this one's insane.
01:11:14.000 They divvied it up between 200 different nonprofits.
01:11:17.000 How about give it to the people?
01:11:18.000 Yeah.
01:11:19.000 Because the thing about these nonprofits, they rely on that kind of money in order to pay their staff.
01:11:23.000 And some of these, you find out some of these people that are working for these government agencies, another thing that Spencer has uncovered, there's like a ton of them that are making more than a half a million dollars a year.
01:11:33.000 Oh, yeah.
01:11:34.000 Oh, yeah.
01:11:36.000 But there's a weird thing with like the nonprofits like, all right, if you have to attract like a CEO from like a major corporation to come and make this nonprofit efficient and to really generate as much revenue as possible, like if they're making more money because they have a really competent CEO and a really competent staff.
01:11:52.000 And only 20% of it is going to help people, but it's still 200% of what the next company is doing.
01:11:57.000 I guess it's worth it, right?
01:11:59.000 Well, the thing is, they're not a company.
01:12:02.000 They're the government.
01:12:03.000 So they're not held accountable.
01:12:06.000 They're not supposed to be efficient.
01:12:07.000 They don't have to be profitable.
01:12:09.000 They don't have to do a good audit of their business.
01:12:13.000 This is one of the things that Elon said.
01:12:14.000 If any of these fucking companies, he's like, if any one of them, where they just sent out billions of dollars and they have no accounting and no receipts for it, he goes, if you were a part of a publicly traded company, you would be.
01:12:26.000 Tried, your company would lose its credit.
01:12:30.000 Yeah, your company would fall off the stock market.
01:12:32.000 It would be like a bullshit company now, and you would go to jail.
01:12:36.000 That's totally illegal.
01:12:38.000 But in government, it's standard practice.
01:12:40.000 So the inefficiency is built in.
01:12:43.000 I was reading something about California.
01:12:45.000 Tell me if this is true.
01:12:46.000 They were talking about California's, see, put this into perplexity.
01:12:50.000 California, the percentage of people that live in California went up by a small amount, but the percentage of government went up by a large amount.
01:13:00.000 The percentage of people with government jobs went up considerably, whereas the population didn't go up.
01:13:07.000 I don't know if this is true.
01:13:08.000 This is why I want to have it looked up.
01:13:10.000 But.
01:13:12.000 When you just stop and think about the fact that it's a business to hire people to be inefficient and that it's within your best interest to not just never be efficient and never solve the problem, because if you do, you're out of a job, but also to make the problem bigger every year so you could hire more people and get a bigger raise and a bigger thing.
01:13:30.000 And that's why this homeless thing in California, it's like more than $24 billion they spend on the homeless.
01:13:38.000 On what though?
01:13:39.000 What are they doing?
01:13:40.000 What are they doing?
01:13:40.000 Exactly.
01:13:41.000 Exactly.
01:13:41.000 So they've tried to get audits and Newsom has vetoed the audits.
01:13:45.000 Wow.
01:13:47.000 Which is crazy that they could say, no, you can't find out if any fraud or any waste has happened with tax dollars.
01:13:56.000 No, we're going to stop that investigation.
01:13:58.000 Well, that's crazy.
01:13:59.000 Yeah, and that's.
01:14:01.000 I would vote for almost anybody who, if they just said, I'm going to cut your taxes in half, they have my vote.
01:14:06.000 The problem is, what are you doing with the taxes?
01:14:09.000 There should be a role in solving this.
01:14:13.000 What AI should be able to do is, like, we should say, yeah, you.
01:14:16.000 Tax me a fair amount.
01:14:18.000 I'm happy to pay taxes.
01:14:20.000 If it's going to public schools and public roads, I absolutely feel very happy to contribute.
01:14:26.000 And I want the world to be a better place because of my tax dollars.
01:14:28.000 But also, where's it going?
01:14:32.000 It's going to bomb school children overseas and to fund wars that most people don't want.
01:14:39.000 And transgender dancing in Indonesia.
01:14:42.000 Is that a thing that's happening?
01:14:43.000 No, there's weird shit.
01:14:44.000 They spent $250 million doing.
01:14:48.000 Transsexual operations on animals?
01:14:53.000 Experimenting on animals to turn them trans?
01:14:55.000 No, no, no bullshit.
01:14:56.000 No bullshit.
01:14:59.000 $251 million?
01:15:00.000 Oh my God.
01:15:02.000 Yeah, they spent $2 million giving cocaine to dogs.
01:15:05.000 California's population has dipped slightly since 2020, while government jobs have been one of the few areas of job growth.
01:15:11.000 So, yes, government employment has generally increased even as the population growth stalled or reversed.
01:15:18.000 So, what is the percentage?
01:15:20.000 So, total job growth has slowed sharply.
01:15:23.000 Statewide employment grew by only about half of a percent in 2023, then actually fell slightly down about 11,200 jobs or 0.1% in 2025.
01:15:37.000 State overall is only a few percent in jobs compared with before the pandemic, and it lags the national growth rate.
01:15:47.000 So, how many more jobs?
01:15:49.000 What's the percentage more?
01:15:53.000 Is it because people are leaving California?
01:15:55.000 So it says in 2025, private employers, there's a lot of that, cut about 31,000 jobs while government employers added about 20,200 jobs, driven mostly by a gain of 45,800 local government positions.
01:16:11.000 So they added 45,000 government positions while private employers cut 31,000 jobs.
01:16:20.000 So they just keep making the government bigger.
01:16:22.000 So the economy.
01:16:24.000 Yeah.
01:16:25.000 Fuels the government.
01:16:27.000 The government controls the economy.
01:16:28.000 It's all nuts.
01:16:30.000 Yeah, I mean, when you say government job, that's like people, like a clerk that works in the courthouse.
01:16:35.000 That also counts, right?
01:16:35.000 Yeah, but they also do weird shit, like they have to have new regulations.
01:16:39.000 They have to have people that make regulations now and justify their jobs if there's a lot of government jobs.
01:16:44.000 So then you get wacky rulings like California recently.
01:16:47.000 They're banning blackjack in casinos.
01:16:50.000 No more blackjack.
01:16:51.000 Why not blackjack?
01:16:52.000 Putting a foot down.
01:16:54.000 No more blackjack in River City.
01:16:57.000 Why no blackjack?
01:16:58.000 I don't understand it.
01:16:59.000 No one understands it.
01:17:00.000 It doesn't make any fucking sense.
01:17:01.000 You can play poker, you can't play blackjack.
01:17:03.000 How about fuck you?
01:17:04.000 Stay away from me.
01:17:05.000 Yeah.
01:17:06.000 How about if I earn $2,000 in a week and I want to take $500 and go to the casino and try to win more or lose it?
01:17:15.000 How about fuck you?
01:17:16.000 Yeah, stay the fuck out of me.
01:17:17.000 You leave me the fuck alone.
01:17:19.000 You're just another human being.
01:17:20.000 You should have no opinion.
01:17:22.000 Well, they want to, the government wants to get their hands in every vice.
01:17:26.000 You're the guy who's got it.
01:17:27.000 Because they know we can't.
01:17:28.000 Give up our vices.
01:17:29.000 We can't give up alcohol and weed and cigarettes and gambling and prostitution.
01:17:33.000 You're not getting rid of gambling.
01:17:34.000 That's the thing.
01:17:35.000 They're still paying, the casinos still pay taxes.
01:17:38.000 Right.
01:17:39.000 You just eliminated one of their fucking ways to make money.
01:17:42.000 Is there a public reason why they've said it?
01:17:44.000 I'd like to find out.
01:17:45.000 Yeah.
01:17:45.000 Let's find out.
01:17:46.000 What's the public reason?
01:17:47.000 Because Blackjack's my only game.
01:17:48.000 That's it?
01:17:49.000 Do you know what you're doing?
01:17:50.000 You're a wild motherfucker who hits 17.
01:17:51.000 No, I'm good at it.
01:17:52.000 I'm good at Blackjack.
01:17:53.000 I mean, I'm good.
01:17:55.000 I know the rules of the book and I play by the rules and I sit down at the table expecting to lose everything.
01:18:00.000 And if I don't, I'm happy.
01:18:01.000 That's that.
01:18:02.000 Yeah, Jamie wants some money.
01:18:03.000 Shane wants some money.
01:18:04.000 Blackjack?
01:18:05.000 They were doing pretty good.
01:18:05.000 Yeah.
01:18:07.000 Watching Dana White do it gives you fucking anxiety, though, dude.
01:18:10.000 Just like crazy bets.
01:18:11.000 He was $600,000 down when I met him there.
01:18:14.000 Oh, no.
01:18:16.000 I was like, dude, this is crazy.
01:18:18.000 And I was watching these people.
01:18:19.000 That kid, Aiden Ross, you know, that streamer kid?
01:18:21.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:18:22.000 That kid lost a million bucks.
01:18:23.000 That's crazy.
01:18:24.000 I lost a million.
01:18:24.000 I'm like, how much is he making?
01:18:26.000 I take $500 out every time.
01:18:27.000 Jamie?
01:18:28.000 According to this, it was banned from card rooms, not casinos.
01:18:31.000 It's kind of a different thing.
01:18:33.000 It is a card room where they play poker.
01:18:33.000 Oh, that's right.
01:18:35.000 That's right.
01:18:36.000 Because their casinos are different.
01:18:37.000 Their casinos are only like in Indian places, right?
01:18:42.000 It says this whole reservations, yeah.
01:18:44.000 Same thing in Jersey, New York.
01:18:46.000 Yeah.
01:18:47.000 So that's right.
01:18:47.000 But what is, wait a minute, what's the Bicycle Club Casino?
01:18:50.000 Isn't that a casino?
01:18:52.000 I don't know who runs it.
01:18:54.000 But it's in California, like, it's in Orange County.
01:18:58.000 Bicycle Club Casino.
01:19:02.000 So, the reason why I know about that place is I used to go there to watch professional pool tournaments.
01:19:10.000 And then that was the first time I realized, like, oh, there's a casino in California, like right off the highway.
01:19:16.000 I think it's off the highway.
01:19:18.000 What highway is that off of?
01:19:20.000 But it's like if you're going down to like doing a gig in San Diego, you'll pass by this place if you go down one of the roads.
01:19:28.000 710?
01:19:28.000 Yeah, there you go.
01:19:31.000 But so, what is that?
01:19:34.000 Do they have blackjack there?
01:19:36.000 Because I know they had poker there.
01:19:37.000 You know, Ari Shafir, during his early days of comedy, would make a living going to poker tournaments.
01:19:44.000 Yeah.
01:19:44.000 That's how good he is at poker.
01:19:44.000 Playing?
01:19:46.000 Oh, yeah, man.
01:19:46.000 Really?
01:19:47.000 He would snap off poker tournaments all the time.
01:19:50.000 Some people are good.
01:19:51.000 Like, it's just a patience thing.
01:19:52.000 Well, he just plays it like, for him, it was a job.
01:19:55.000 He's like, I play it like it's a job.
01:19:56.000 He's like, these people all get drunk and they all get high and they're all fucking stupid.
01:20:00.000 They make dumb choices.
01:20:01.000 He goes, I play smart against idiots and they get drunk and I win money.
01:20:06.000 It says it's technically a poker card room.
01:20:08.000 It says they have blackjack, but maybe they've.
01:20:10.000 Fell in the rules where they're not allowed to have it now, too.
01:20:13.000 Right.
01:20:14.000 Three card poker and Baccarat.
01:20:16.000 We were talking about Baccarat the other day because that's what Dana White's moved to because you get more money.
01:20:22.000 Is that like, it's kind of like blackjack, but no, no, I'm thinking of the Asian one.
01:20:25.000 What's the Asian one?
01:20:25.000 I have no idea what Baccarat is.
01:20:27.000 It's three cards you got to get.
01:20:28.000 How many cards is Baccarat?
01:20:31.000 I have no idea how to play it.
01:20:32.000 I don't know what it is.
01:20:33.000 I've just heard it before.
01:20:34.000 Yeah.
01:20:34.000 I've heard that name before.
01:20:35.000 I've never looked into it.
01:20:37.000 I mean, I look at it as like going to, like, I don't like baseball, but like, I go to a baseball game and eat hot dogs and drink beer.
01:20:37.000 Yeah.
01:20:43.000 It's like the same thing as a casino.
01:20:44.000 Like, I'm not a big gambler.
01:20:45.000 I'm like, I'm just going to drink and I'm going to have fun, hang out with a chick.
01:20:49.000 It just seems like you can't win.
01:20:51.000 No.
01:20:51.000 And it's also, what are you doing?
01:20:54.000 What are you doing?
01:20:55.000 Just rolling dice every day?
01:20:56.000 That's crazy.
01:20:57.000 You're spiking your adrenaline every day rolling dice for your fucking mortgage.
01:21:01.000 Yeah.
01:21:02.000 It's just a game with stakes.
01:21:04.000 Baccarat is a comparing card game played between two hands, the player and the banker.
01:21:09.000 Each Baccarat coup round of play has three possible outcomes player, player has the higher score, banker, and tie.
01:21:20.000 Okay.
01:21:21.000 Yeah, they like it because it's a one quick bet, and you can bet up to 500K per hand, I think.
01:21:26.000 Oh, man.
01:21:26.000 And then you can also tie so you don't lose.
01:21:28.000 It's not guaranteed win or lose.
01:21:30.000 Oh, my God.
01:21:31.000 Big swings.
01:21:32.000 Big swings.
01:21:33.000 Big fast swings.
01:21:34.000 Jesus.
01:21:35.000 If you get downplayed.
01:21:36.000 No, but I watch people play these games and go through.
01:21:39.000 Look, I admire their balls.
01:21:41.000 Yeah, damn it.
01:21:41.000 Especially poker players.
01:21:43.000 You got to be a smart motherfucker to win those big World Series of poker things and make a bunch of money playing poker.
01:21:51.000 Yeah.
01:21:51.000 That was one of my favorite scenes from Rounders, where they talk about how I always use that analogy in life, where they talk about people like, oh, they think it's luck.
01:22:01.000 They think it's the luck of the draw.
01:22:03.000 And it's like, if it was luck, why is it the same eight guys at the final table of the World Series of Poker every single year?
01:22:09.000 Exactly.
01:22:10.000 It's like, you're not playing the cards, you're playing the game, you're playing each other.
01:22:13.000 I kind of look at that in life, and I'm like, it's like the cards don't really matter as much as how you play them, you know?
01:22:19.000 Yeah, it's a complicated game.
01:22:21.000 It's and but why is that okay, but blackjack isn't like who fucking says, like says who, says who, why, why, you know what I mean?
01:22:32.000 Why, why more regulations?
01:22:33.000 I'll tell you why because they have to justify all these fucking extra jobs.
01:22:38.000 That's a lot of where regulations come from, and it's also there, it's fun.
01:22:41.000 You could tell people what to do, no more flavored zins.
01:22:44.000 Yeah, there's like all these like just like weird things that's like there's like weird laws.
01:22:48.000 I live in Berkeley County, New Jersey, and it's like they have blue laws still.
01:22:52.000 I don't know if you know what that is.
01:22:53.000 Oh, yeah, those are the best.
01:22:54.000 Sunday, no, like, no, you can't buy clothes.
01:22:54.000 Sunday.
01:22:57.000 You can't buy, like, furniture.
01:22:59.000 You can't buy clothes?
01:23:00.000 Can't buy clothes on Sundays.
01:23:02.000 Wherever you shake your pants, I swear to God.
01:23:04.000 Wherever you shake your pants, you're new to town.
01:23:06.000 You're fucked.
01:23:07.000 You got to walk around and smell them like shit.
01:23:11.000 But Walmart in New Jersey, they rope off the clothing section.
01:23:15.000 They have it set up to where, like, you literally can't go past it.
01:23:18.000 You still buy food, but you can't go to the clothing section.
01:23:20.000 When I was a kid, there was no alcohol for sale on Sundays.
01:23:25.000 In Massachusetts.
01:23:27.000 Yeah.
01:23:27.000 And so we had to go to New Hampshire to get beer.
01:23:29.000 So we'd make what we call a packy run because they would call them package stores.
01:23:34.000 And you know, with that Boston accent, mush, you want to go to the packy?
01:23:37.000 Yeah.
01:23:37.000 And we'd get them to drive.
01:23:40.000 Everybody was mush.
01:23:41.000 There was a time, this was a Newton North thing.
01:23:44.000 And people from Massachusetts, I think maybe people still use this, but they would call, instead of dude, it would be mush.
01:23:51.000 Everybody was mush.
01:23:51.000 Mush.
01:23:52.000 Mush.
01:23:53.000 We going out?
01:23:53.000 Mush.
01:23:53.000 We going?
01:23:54.000 Like girls would say to you, mush, you taking me out?
01:23:56.000 It was weird.
01:23:58.000 And it's only this one part of the city had mush.
01:24:01.000 Like, my part didn't have mush, but a few people tried it out.
01:24:05.000 It started catching on with my part of the city.
01:24:07.000 But in Newton North, I was in Newton South.
01:24:10.000 Newton North, everybody was mush.
01:24:11.000 It was like everybody's neck.
01:24:12.000 It was weird.
01:24:13.000 Like, a virus of language went through the entire city.
01:24:17.000 Dude, thick accents from certain American cities on women are just so unattractive.
01:24:22.000 Boston got to be really hot to bypass that accent.
01:24:22.000 That's a rough one.
01:24:26.000 Philly, you meet a girl from Philly.
01:24:28.000 It's a rough one.
01:24:29.000 Hard girls, but probably a lot of fun.
01:24:30.000 Oh, yeah.
01:24:30.000 So we'd have to drive to New Hampshire.
01:24:32.000 So we'd have to drive an hour and a half to go get booze.
01:24:35.000 Yeah.
01:24:35.000 No, that exists in certain places still.
01:24:37.000 In New Jersey, it's like you can't, yeah, it's got to be a liquor store specifically.
01:24:41.000 You can't buy beer in a supermarket.
01:24:43.000 I grew up in the suburbs of New York, so you could buy beer in the supermarket.
01:24:46.000 They made it where you couldn't buy wine for a while.
01:24:48.000 Then for a couple years, you could buy wine.
01:24:50.000 It's all these dumb fucking laws.
01:24:52.000 They're all Chick fil A laws.
01:24:53.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:24:54.000 Yeah.
01:24:54.000 Exactly.
01:24:55.000 But yes.
01:24:56.000 Chick fil A is so silly.
01:24:58.000 It takes Sundays off for the Lord.
01:25:00.000 That's like, bro, you're grinding chickens up with titanium and aluminum in it.
01:25:05.000 Like, what the fuck are you talking about?
01:25:07.000 Yeah.
01:25:07.000 But it's delicious.
01:25:08.000 It's fucking delicious.
01:25:09.000 God damn, it's delicious.
01:25:11.000 If you just make a delicious sandwich, I don't care what your beliefs are.
01:25:15.000 It's so delicious that even gay people eat there.
01:25:17.000 Think of that.
01:25:18.000 All the shit that guy's talked about, the gays, the gay people are like, put it aside and have some chicken.
01:25:18.000 Yeah.
01:25:24.000 The chicken's not.
01:25:24.000 Whatever.
01:25:25.000 He's just a bitch.
01:25:26.000 But they got, what is that weird ingredient that we found out was in the bread?
01:25:32.000 It was something kooky, right?
01:25:34.000 Yeah, it's aluminum something or other, but it's in a lot of things.
01:25:37.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:25:37.000 Yeah.
01:25:39.000 But it's in there.
01:25:39.000 It's in there.
01:25:41.000 I've seen something about the blue lot.
01:25:43.000 You can't buy a car on Sunday in Texas.
01:25:45.000 That's hilarious.
01:25:46.000 Yeah, it's just so weird.
01:25:46.000 That's wild.
01:25:47.000 Oh, that makes sense.
01:25:48.000 That makes sense.
01:25:49.000 Yeah.
01:25:49.000 What's funny is, so there's a mall in New Jersey.
01:25:51.000 The mall, not Mall of America, but American Dream Mall.
01:25:55.000 Huge, huge, huge mall.
01:25:56.000 Like one of these, like, super malls, right?
01:25:58.000 Like, you know, fucking, there's a water park inside.
01:26:00.000 There's a water park?
01:26:01.000 Oh, yeah, there's a ski.
01:26:04.000 You can learn skiing.
01:26:05.000 It's a fake ski hill.
01:26:06.000 It's a fake snow hill?
01:26:08.000 Yes.
01:26:09.000 Year round, you can take ski and snowboard lessons.
01:26:10.000 Oh, that would help so much.
01:26:12.000 It's so cool, dude.
01:26:13.000 It's really cool.
01:26:13.000 They got like, you know, a bunch of escape rooms.
01:26:15.000 It's just a massive, massive mall.
01:26:17.000 Yeah, it is.
01:26:17.000 That's nuts.
01:26:18.000 Yeah, inside, dude.
01:26:19.000 They got a water park.
01:26:20.000 They got a Nickelodeon Studios.
01:26:21.000 There's like a theme park inside of the mall.
01:26:23.000 It's a crazy mall.
01:26:24.000 And they just said, fuck it, we're opening Sundays.
01:26:27.000 There's a big sign right on the side of it.
01:26:29.000 It's like, we're open Sundays.
01:26:30.000 We don't care.
01:26:31.000 And Paramus is suing them.
01:26:32.000 Paramus is one of the biggest shopping cities. In the country, imagine the government is saying you can't do business with a bunch of people that want to come to your business crazy because it's a different day.
01:26:43.000 Yep, fuck you.
01:26:45.000 But what's funny is it's not the government.
01:26:47.000 I looked into this because I was going, What the fuck's going on here?
01:26:50.000 The people, all these old fucking people that have been living in this community forever, they go to a vote, and every year they go, No, no, no, we don't want traffic.
01:26:59.000 We want Sundays in Berkeley to be fucking relaxing and nice and beautiful because there's no taxes.
01:27:04.000 I think, but I believe to this day on clothing, there's no taxes in Jersey.
01:27:08.000 So, we would do our school shopping in Jersey when I was growing up.
01:27:11.000 We would just drive 30 minutes to Bergen County and go to the mall.
01:27:13.000 Oh, interesting.
01:27:15.000 You save money on taxes.
01:27:17.000 So, yeah, but yeah, that mall was just like, fuck it.
01:27:21.000 And then a huge sign.
01:27:22.000 I'm talking about the mall's so big.
01:27:24.000 The sign, I don't even know how you would make a sign this fucking big, but it's just draped down the side.
01:27:30.000 We're open on Sundays.
01:27:31.000 They didn't give a fuck.
01:27:32.000 So, are they getting sued now?
01:27:33.000 They're getting sued by Paramus.
01:27:35.000 I bet they're going to win.
01:27:36.000 Because it doesn't make sense.
01:27:37.000 That law is stupid.
01:27:39.000 Do you need business?
01:27:40.000 Is the economy down?
01:27:40.000 Yes.
01:27:41.000 Yes.
01:27:42.000 Wouldn't it be better if people had the option to be able to go to the fucking mall on Sunday, especially somebody who works every fucking day?
01:27:48.000 Yeah.
01:27:48.000 Maybe they have to work Saturday as well, and Sunday's their only day off.
01:27:51.000 How about let them go there to buy some pants?
01:27:53.000 Yep.
01:27:54.000 Fucking control freak.
01:27:57.000 Let them buy a fucking hat.
01:27:58.000 What's wrong with you, fucking dirty dude?
01:28:01.000 We're the government.
01:28:02.000 We got guns.
01:28:03.000 You can't shop here.
01:28:04.000 Fuck you, nigga.
01:28:06.000 That's the problem.
01:28:07.000 The problem is these fucking dipshits just keep adding more and more regulations.
01:28:11.000 Yeah.
01:28:12.000 It's dumb.
01:28:13.000 What else can't you do in Texas on Sunday?
01:28:16.000 What was that one that was dumb that you just said?
01:28:18.000 Can't buy a car.
01:28:19.000 Can't buy a car.
01:28:22.000 You couldn't sell things on consecutive weekend days, so everybody just sort of picked Saturday, it says.
01:28:27.000 Huh.
01:28:28.000 That's ridiculous.
01:28:29.000 You can't buy liquor on Sundays here.
01:28:30.000 Phil in Texas?
01:28:31.000 Yeah.
01:28:32.000 Really?
01:28:33.000 You can in a restaurant, but not at a store.
01:28:36.000 So at the supermarket, what do they do?
01:28:38.000 They say, We can't sell you that because it's Sunday?
01:28:40.000 It's the Lord's Day.
01:28:42.000 We can't sell you beer.
01:28:44.000 You could drink yourself to death on some hooch.
01:28:47.000 They give you some wine.
01:28:48.000 Like you go to one city, it's like, Like it's so strict, and you go to like New Orleans, and like they're like, they just have like people hand you a beer out a window, you just walk down the street, you're partying in the streets.
01:28:58.000 Like, it's such a weird differentiation between each jurisdiction.
01:29:03.000 Yeah, we were doing a gig down there, and the guy who was a driver was telling me about how he went somewhere else, and the cops pulled him over because he had an open drink and he was walking down the street.
01:29:15.000 The cop goes, Where are you from?
01:29:16.000 and he goes, New Orleans.
01:29:18.000 He's like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can't do that anywhere else.
01:29:21.000 That thing that you do in Vegas.
01:29:24.000 Can you?
01:29:24.000 You can watch those two with a beer?
01:29:26.000 Okay.
01:29:26.000 That's good.
01:29:26.000 Yeah.
01:29:27.000 I think you can do it on 6th Street in Austin.
01:29:29.000 Can you?
01:29:30.000 Nope.
01:29:30.000 I think.
01:29:31.000 You can?
01:29:32.000 I think people do it.
01:29:33.000 People definitely do it.
01:29:34.000 They definitely do it.
01:29:35.000 I've seen them.
01:29:35.000 Yeah, I don't think you're allowed to.
01:29:37.000 Well, is there any enforcement of that law?
01:29:39.000 That's probably not the main thing they're worried about, I don't think, most days.
01:29:43.000 Boy, a lot of sloppy fights on 6th Street.
01:29:45.000 There's entire YouTube and Instagram pages dedicated to 6th Street fights.
01:29:51.000 Just brutal.
01:29:51.000 I saw one.
01:29:52.000 I don't know if it was 6th Street, but I saw one where there was a dude who obviously had wrestling experience.
01:29:55.000 Yeah.
01:29:57.000 I mean, dude, he suplexed this dude.
01:29:59.000 He paralyzed the guy.
01:30:00.000 Oh, God.
01:30:00.000 He suplexed the guy.
01:30:03.000 On the concrete?
01:30:04.000 Completely laid out.
01:30:05.000 Completely.
01:30:05.000 Jesus Christ.
01:30:06.000 And it's like, God damn, dude, just like that, two lives over.
01:30:09.000 This guy, he's now in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
01:30:12.000 This guy is going to fucking jail.
01:30:14.000 Oh, God.
01:30:14.000 That's that.
01:30:15.000 Over not being able to control your emotions.
01:30:17.000 Yeah, no, you're not allowed to do that in Austin.
01:30:19.000 Only on certain events when it's like a festival or something.
01:30:23.000 God, booze is so bad for people.
01:30:25.000 Yeah.
01:30:25.000 Booze and being a young man and being.
01:30:28.000 Foolish ego, yeah, ego, just the need to prove yourself.
01:30:32.000 Also, like, you're a wrestler, you really know how to wrestle.
01:30:35.000 You're gonna pile drive this dude into the concrete.
01:30:37.000 It's weird because it's usually guys that don't know how to fight that are doing stupid shit.
01:30:40.000 Guys that know how to fight typically, the other guy had it coming.
01:30:43.000 I don't know what happened, but no one has that coming.
01:30:46.000 But I mean, maybe he started the fight.
01:30:48.000 I don't, you know, I shouldn't have said that in time, had it coming.
01:30:52.000 But having any kind of an altercation on the concrete is so fucking dangerous, yeah.
01:30:59.000 Dudes die all the time when they get KO'd.
01:31:01.000 And most guys, especially if guys sucker punch guys and they just fall back and the whole weight of their body bangs off the back of their head, it is so devastating.
01:31:12.000 You might as well hit them with a fucking giant metal crowbar.
01:31:15.000 You might as well.
01:31:16.000 Yeah.
01:31:18.000 It's worse than getting hit with a baseball bat, probably.
01:31:21.000 That falls so scary.
01:31:22.000 And I've seen it so many times, man, online.
01:31:25.000 Yeah, just six feet straight back.
01:31:27.000 Your head just cracks on the concrete.
01:31:29.000 Yeah, and it's all that leverage from all of your weight.
01:31:31.000 It's like a whip on the back of your head.
01:31:34.000 Their heads crack wide open, man.
01:31:36.000 There's a guy who just got in trouble for just pushing some dude having a bad day.
01:31:41.000 Pushed this old guy to the ground.
01:31:43.000 Guy cracked his head on the floor, died.
01:31:44.000 I saw that.
01:31:45.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:31:45.000 I saw that.
01:31:46.000 And the guy was like, that was his argument or his defense.
01:31:49.000 It was like, I was having a really bad day.
01:31:50.000 Oh, Jesus Christ.
01:31:51.000 You're fucking nuts, dude.
01:31:52.000 People are insane.
01:31:53.000 I know.
01:31:53.000 How about the people that push people in front of subways?
01:31:56.000 How fucking psycho is that?
01:31:58.000 Yeah.
01:31:58.000 These people wait.
01:31:59.000 They wait for a subway to come in and they want to push somebody in front of it just to watch.
01:32:03.000 And then you have to stand around hoping that one of those people isn't here while you're ready to get on your train.
01:32:09.000 Dude, yeah.
01:32:11.000 In a place like New York or, you know, really.
01:32:14.000 Urban sort of environment where there's fucking lots of crazies walking around.
01:32:17.000 Yeah, you got to really just keep your eyes open, man.
01:32:17.000 Yeah.
01:32:20.000 Head on this level.
01:32:21.000 You got to be ready to sprawl.
01:32:23.000 Yeah, don't fall asleep.
01:32:24.000 You might get lit on fire.
01:32:25.000 That happens.
01:32:25.000 That's happening all the time.
01:32:27.000 That happened, I guess it is just the trends, but it happened like three or four times over the course of a year where it's like homeless people lighting other homeless people on fire.
01:32:35.000 The crazy thing is like homelessness and crime are New York City's two number one problems that keep you unsafe.
01:32:42.000 Those are the two that keep you unsafe.
01:32:44.000 Not to mention.
01:32:46.000 Not to mention, it's like we need more tax money.
01:32:51.000 Don't say you're going to use that to open up grocery stores.
01:32:54.000 There's grocery stores already here, motherfucker.
01:32:57.000 What you need to do is stop all these crazy motherfuckers lighting people on fire, pushing people in front of trains, like clean it up.
01:33:04.000 And then the world would be perfect.
01:33:06.000 Most of the time you hear about those people, they've been arrested 93 times for violent crimes.
01:33:12.000 Yeah, but the 92 times, the last one was a mistake.
01:33:17.000 Yeah.
01:33:18.000 Yeah, it's pretty fucking goofy that.
01:33:20.000 Can I see a little bit of that?
01:33:21.000 Get some of that.
01:33:24.000 People have that many arrests and they just let them right back up.
01:33:27.000 Cheers, sir.
01:33:28.000 Cheers, my friend.
01:33:29.000 There you are.
01:33:29.000 Hey.
01:33:33.000 Yeah.
01:33:33.000 Yeah, it's crazy.
01:33:34.000 It's like, you know, you want to be nice.
01:33:37.000 You want to give people the benefit of the doubt.
01:33:37.000 You want to be kind.
01:33:39.000 You want to give people a second chance.
01:33:40.000 You don't want to put people in jail.
01:33:42.000 The prison system's horrible.
01:33:44.000 But also, when somebody gets arrested 93 times, take a hint.
01:33:48.000 Yeah.
01:33:49.000 Okay, there's bad apples.
01:33:50.000 But then, like, somebody will, like, You know, for tax evasion, we get 30 years in prison or something like that.
01:33:55.000 Like, it's such a weird, bizarre system that we have.
01:33:59.000 Right.
01:34:00.000 You get released 93 times for stabbing people.
01:34:03.000 Yeah.
01:34:04.000 It's like, oh, you know.
01:34:05.000 But if you insider trade, lock that motherfucker up.
01:34:09.000 That's it, dude.
01:34:10.000 I know.
01:34:10.000 There's nothing worse that you can do is not give the government their fucking money.
01:34:14.000 Ooh, they get real testy.
01:34:15.000 Yeah.
01:34:16.000 They don't like it.
01:34:16.000 They don't like it.
01:34:17.000 They need the cut.
01:34:18.000 But it's also, it's like, there's too much.
01:34:20.000 There's too much government.
01:34:21.000 And that's like a standard Republican thing to say, but just clearly it's true.
01:34:27.000 Clearly it's true just by the market.
01:34:28.000 If you see the California lost jobs and then gained government jobs, it's like at what point in time do you get cynical and start saying maybe they're adding government jobs to make it look like jobs went up?
01:34:39.000 Yeah, right.
01:34:40.000 You know what I'm saying?
01:34:41.000 It's crazy.
01:34:42.000 When they say the job market increased, job growth by 15%, like, oh, wow, he's doing a great job.
01:34:48.000 Jobs went up at 15%.
01:34:50.000 And then you find out, oh, they're all invented jobs.
01:34:52.000 Yeah.
01:34:53.000 Government just invented a bunch of fake jobs that they didn't need.
01:34:57.000 When you hear that, it's like a tenet of like the Republicans now to be like smaller government.
01:34:57.000 Yeah.
01:35:02.000 It's like it flip flopped.
01:35:04.000 It's like bananas.
01:35:04.000 Yeah.
01:35:05.000 It's like people on the left, they're like so pro government.
01:35:07.000 They're like, we just need more.
01:35:08.000 We need more regulation, more government.
01:35:10.000 When did that happen?
01:35:12.000 It's a crazy thing.
01:35:13.000 I just grew up as like a liberal in the 90s where it's like.
01:35:16.000 Don't trust the government.
01:35:17.000 Don't trust the government.
01:35:18.000 Oh, wars are bad.
01:35:18.000 Yeah.
01:35:19.000 Don't trust the government.
01:35:20.000 These were simple, basic things that you were just growing up believing.
01:35:23.000 And yeah.
01:35:25.000 Now it's we need more government.
01:35:27.000 We need to take taxes away from people.
01:35:30.000 That's the thing about that.
01:35:31.000 We want to pay more taxes.
01:35:33.000 That's insane.
01:35:33.000 Well, they don't want to pay more taxes.
01:35:35.000 They want billionaires to pay more taxes.
01:35:36.000 But that's the thing.
01:35:38.000 How many billionaires were there when we were kids?
01:35:41.000 Fucking none.
01:35:42.000 You didn't hear about it.
01:35:43.000 Rockefeller.
01:35:44.000 Well, yeah.
01:35:45.000 That was the only name you'd hear.
01:35:47.000 A couple of names that you would hear, but it wouldn't be like really a common term.
01:35:51.000 Yeah.
01:35:52.000 You know, there wasn't that many to talk about.
01:35:54.000 Like, I remember there was some Bill Gates Microsoft thing back in the day.
01:35:59.000 And I remember they had like his net worth was like $50 million.
01:36:03.000 And I was like, Jesus, why is he still working?
01:36:06.000 You know what I mean?
01:36:07.000 Meanwhile, it's worth hundreds of billions now.
01:36:09.000 Like, that wasn't a normal thing when we were kids.
01:36:09.000 Yeah.
01:36:12.000 Like, let's Google this.
01:36:15.000 What, how many?
01:36:17.000 Oh, you got, okay, here we go.
01:36:19.000 82, the year I was born, 13 billionaires.
01:36:21.000 That's crazy.
01:36:23.000 Yeah, that's nuts.
01:36:25.000 So in 1982, 13 billionaires.
01:36:28.000 In 2026, 989 billionaires.
01:36:32.000 Wow.
01:36:33.000 I mean, inflation counts for something as well.
01:36:37.000 That's nuts, dude.
01:36:37.000 No.
01:36:39.000 That's nuts.
01:36:41.000 989 is nuts.
01:36:43.000 That's so much more.
01:36:46.000 Bro, that's lit.
01:36:47.000 Let me see that again.
01:36:49.000 That is so crazy.
01:36:53.000 13 to 989 is nuts.
01:36:56.000 Yeah.
01:36:58.000 Yeah.
01:36:58.000 So that's the problem.
01:37:00.000 It's not that billionaires are a problem.
01:37:02.000 The problem is that there's so many of them.
01:37:04.000 And the problem is it's become like a class.
01:37:06.000 And you look at this class of people that have achieved this insane amount of wealth.
01:37:10.000 And you're like, you should give me some of that.
01:37:13.000 But when I hear about billionaires, I'm going like, how do I do that?
01:37:16.000 Like, I'm just going like, and obviously, I don't think I'll ever become a billionaire.
01:37:19.000 That's a crazy, crazy number, right?
01:37:21.000 I'll probably say I likely won't.
01:37:23.000 But, like, when I hear that, when you hear about Bezos or Steve Jobs or any of these people, like, I get inspired.
01:37:29.000 I hear the stories and I'm like, that's fucking so cool.
01:37:31.000 They took an idea and they turned it into a billion fucking dollars.
01:37:35.000 That's magic.
01:37:36.000 You say words into the air and then it becomes that.
01:37:38.000 Like, that's a crazy thing.
01:37:40.000 Like, I'm an old school sales guy.
01:37:41.000 So I always think of, like, I'm very impressed with, like, you know, just overall, just like sales structure and business and the way it's built out.
01:37:48.000 And it's like, it's the closest thing in the world to magic, right?
01:37:51.000 It's like when you're in sales, you say a bunch of words, bippity boppity boo, and then money appears in your bank account, right?
01:37:57.000 It's like, That's it.
01:37:58.000 Comedy, too.
01:37:58.000 Comedy is like magic.
01:38:00.000 Comedy is like you figure out where to pause, what to say, how to say it, what you do, and then all of a sudden you have fans and you're touring and you have some cash and you have a car.
01:38:07.000 It's like, I'm just saying things.
01:38:08.000 I'm not picking anything up.
01:38:09.000 I'm not like.
01:38:10.000 Yeah, the thing about businesses, though, what you're saying about the sales thing is like the sales is the voodoo in order to close a deal.
01:38:18.000 The thing that people have a problem with is that, like, when someone is at a very high level of this company, like, say, if you work for a giant corporation and the CEO is making, you know, what's like the most amount of C?
01:38:32.000 What's the highest paid CEO's annual salary?
01:38:36.000 Let's take a guess.
01:38:38.000 Is it Elon?
01:38:39.000 No, like their annual salary.
01:38:41.000 Someone who's just a CEO of a company.
01:38:43.000 Those guys are like founders, right?
01:38:45.000 It's also, there's another level to that, right?
01:38:47.000 Like, he's the CEO of SpaceX, but he's also the founder of SpaceX or one of them.
01:38:52.000 Mm hmm.
01:38:54.000 It's like, what is, um, So let's say, let's just pick a company.
01:39:01.000 Let's say CEO of Walmart.
01:39:03.000 Walmart's a huge company.
01:39:05.000 How much does that guy get a year?
01:39:07.000 Let's take a guess.
01:39:08.000 Walmart?
01:39:09.000 Yeah.
01:39:10.000 Six million.
01:39:11.000 Damn.
01:39:12.000 I bet you're right.
01:39:14.000 That sounds about right.
01:39:15.000 Six, seven.
01:39:16.000 I'm guessing.
01:39:18.000 Two.
01:39:19.000 Maybe two.
01:39:20.000 I'm thinking, I'm going low.
01:39:21.000 I'm going low.
01:39:22.000 You're going low.
01:39:23.000 Well, you should break it down a little more than that.
01:39:25.000 And it's also not the salary they get like shares.
01:39:28.000 Yeah, there's base salary, there's incentives and then bonuses.
01:39:32.000 Yeah, there's stock awards.
01:39:33.000 Okay.
01:39:33.000 So it's just.
01:39:34.000 How much did the CEO of Walmart make in 2025?
01:39:37.000 Total compensation, $27.5 million.
01:39:40.000 Don't!
01:39:43.000 Base salary was $1.5 million.
01:39:45.000 Don't!
01:39:46.000 So you were close to the base salary.
01:39:48.000 And so their incentives is just to make the most amount of money possible.
01:39:51.000 And if you could keep that bitch running nice and smooth and cut waste and fire people and use AI, you can keep jacking up that rate.
01:39:58.000 That's it.
01:39:59.000 That's where people have a problem with it.
01:40:01.000 It's like you're a part of the team, right?
01:40:03.000 You're a part of the Walmart team, but yet you're fucking dispensable.
01:40:07.000 But yet you're not.
01:40:08.000 Because if you didn't exist, they wouldn't be able to sell anything.
01:40:11.000 Because you're the people working at the cash register, you're the people stocking the shelves, you're the people that are working in the delivery department, bringing the stuff, putting it away.
01:40:18.000 I agree.
01:40:19.000 Without those people, you literally have no business.
01:40:22.000 The problem is that those people, I mean, in the most literal sense of the term, they're dispensable.
01:40:27.000 There's another person that will step in and do that job, and Bezos is not.
01:40:30.000 There's one Jeff Bezos, there's one Elon Musk, there's one Steve Jobs.
01:40:33.000 And by the way, you are sitting at a cash register, you can also go down that path and risk it all and put everything into something, right?
01:40:40.000 That's true.
01:40:41.000 I hear those stories.
01:40:42.000 I don't.
01:40:43.000 I mean, I just, once again, I grew up so poor.
01:40:46.000 I grew up like, you know, my first job, I worked at, my first job was 11.
01:40:49.000 It was very young, but like my first real job, I was 16.
01:40:52.000 I was working at KFC for $5.25 an hour.
01:40:55.000 And, you know, I could have just chosen that to be my life for the rest of my life.
01:40:59.000 Or I could have said, all right, well, look, this is like my first job.
01:41:01.000 I'm learning how to put a little money in the bank.
01:41:03.000 I'm going to buy a car.
01:41:04.000 And then it's the next thing and the next thing and the next thing.
01:41:06.000 Okay, we're talking about different things.
01:41:08.000 So, first of all, for entry level jobs, yes, like entry level jobs that people get in high school and maybe even in college, just making a little money on the side while you're doing something else.
01:41:17.000 But, Full time jobs.
01:41:19.000 If you're a full time employee at somewhere like Walmart and you're barely getting by and the top dog is making $27 million, that's kind of crazy.
01:41:27.000 And are you replaceable?
01:41:28.000 Yeah, yeah, you're replaceable.
01:41:30.000 But aren't you also valuable?
01:41:33.000 Oh, look at the top guys.
01:41:34.000 Top guy.
01:41:35.000 Have you ever even heard of these two companies?
01:41:37.000 Patrick Smith from Axon made $164 million.
01:41:42.000 Wow.
01:41:43.000 They make police body cameras in Tezos.
01:41:47.000 Jesus Christ.
01:41:48.000 So they get government contracts.
01:41:50.000 And then this company.
01:41:52.000 So the top CEO who makes police body cameras, a company that makes police body cameras, he got $164 million.
01:42:03.000 God bless him.
01:42:04.000 Good for him.
01:42:05.000 It's a lot of money.
01:42:06.000 It's a 410,000% increase in pay, it says.
01:42:09.000 Whoopsies.
01:42:11.000 Just got an extra little bump.
01:42:12.000 Got a little bump.
01:42:14.000 I wonder what kind of raise you get, which is crazy.
01:42:17.000 That's where all that tax money went.
01:42:18.000 It's where it all, a lot of it does go in that direction.
01:42:21.000 But if you're working for that company making police body cameras and you're making 20 bucks an hour, you got to get pissed.
01:42:27.000 Yeah.
01:42:28.000 You'd be like, what the fuck, man?
01:42:29.000 This is crazy.
01:42:30.000 Like, I'm not saying that the guy who makes the body cameras make the same amount as the CEO.
01:42:35.000 I'm not, but I am saying it should probably be a little.
01:42:40.000 They could pay them $22 anyway.
01:42:41.000 A little better.
01:42:42.000 Yeah.
01:42:42.000 A little better.
01:42:43.000 Like, if you're making that much money, why wouldn't you pay a little bit more?
01:42:48.000 Well, a lot of great companies do for the most part, right?
01:42:51.000 Really good companies take care of their employees.
01:42:52.000 What's a great example?
01:42:53.000 What's a great example of a company that really takes care of their employees?
01:42:56.000 Gas Digital.
01:42:57.000 Gas Digital.
01:42:58.000 Good.
01:42:59.000 Okay, but what about other real estate companies?
01:43:00.000 All of my producers are going like, fuck you.
01:43:06.000 Every one of them.
01:43:07.000 But I mean, like a big ass company where they're making billions of dollars.
01:43:10.000 What's like the one where people are like, damn, if you work for them, you get taken care of?
01:43:14.000 There should be some.
01:43:16.000 Starbucks is a company that apparently takes care of their employees.
01:43:19.000 They pay for college.
01:43:21.000 Here's the problem.
01:43:21.000 The problem is they're publicly traded.
01:43:23.000 And when they're publicly traded, if you're a CEO, you literally have an obligation to your shareholders to make the most money possible.
01:43:30.000 And so that doesn't mean give everybody a big fat raise.
01:43:32.000 Because payroll is a big part of your expenses.
01:43:36.000 And if you have thousands of employees and you just jack them all up to a higher wage, you're losing.
01:43:41.000 You're hemorrhaging money for me.
01:43:42.000 I mean, it's also like if you just pay your employees a little bit better, just a very simple concept.
01:43:47.000 They're going to want to be at work.
01:43:48.000 They're going to be happy to be there.
01:43:49.000 They're going to be excited to be there.
01:43:50.000 Your company will thrive.
01:43:51.000 The amount of people that just show up at work and they maybe work an hour a day, two hours a day, and the rest of the time is just kind of bullshitting on the internet, you don't really want that culture.
01:44:01.000 And that's kind of what you get when you're underpaying people.
01:44:05.000 100%.
01:44:05.000 That's why In N Out is always so good.
01:44:07.000 If you go to In N Out Burger in California, they're always like the friendliest staff because people get paid more there.
01:44:13.000 It's a hard, it's like a tricky job to get in that regard.
01:44:16.000 Regard.
01:44:17.000 Like, if you had a choice between McDonald's, Jack in the Box, and In and Out, everybody wants In and Out.
01:44:21.000 It's also better.
01:44:21.000 Of course.
01:44:22.000 It's just much better.
01:44:23.000 It tastes better.
01:44:24.000 I mean, that's California, anywhere.
01:44:24.000 It smells better.
01:44:27.000 New York, they're just so mean.
01:44:29.000 You go to a burger spot, it's like, what?
01:44:33.000 I don't know how often you go to a 7 Eleven or one of these types of places.
01:44:36.000 It's a new thing that they're doing.
01:44:38.000 If you buy things, they don't bag it for you anymore.
01:44:41.000 What?
01:44:42.000 They put the bag on the counter and stare at you.
01:44:44.000 I have to bag my own.
01:44:44.000 What?
01:44:45.000 I swear to God.
01:44:46.000 No.
01:44:46.000 I swear to God, dude.
01:44:48.000 What kind of attitude is that?
01:44:49.000 I don't know if it's everywhere, but in New York, New Jersey, they go, first of all, they don't even give you a bag.
01:44:49.000 It's crazy.
01:44:54.000 They just put the stuff on the counter and they go, all right, thank you.
01:44:56.000 And you're like, can I have a bag?
01:44:57.000 They're like, that'll be another 80 cents.
01:45:00.000 80 cents for a bag for real?
01:45:01.000 You got to pay for a bag.
01:45:02.000 And then they hand you the bag and you have to bag it yourself like a cuck.
01:45:04.000 Well, I know a lot of people that bring those fucking hemp bags and look like weird greenies.
01:45:08.000 I have 300 hemp bags sitting at home.
01:45:11.000 My own homemade bag.
01:45:12.000 Do they do that in Texas?
01:45:12.000 Bag.
01:45:13.000 Do they give you like paper bags here or what do they do?
01:45:15.000 Because in Jersey, we don't have that.
01:45:18.000 We have no bags.
01:45:19.000 That's LOL.
01:45:21.000 In Jersey, you have to buy, you have to bring your own like cloth bags where you can buy them for like $1.50 a bag at the supermarket.
01:45:30.000 And I never bring my bags.
01:45:32.000 I always forget them.
01:45:33.000 So every time I keep having new bags, I got 300 bags.
01:45:35.000 I pick up my dog shit.
01:45:36.000 I pick up my dog shit with fucking cloth bags from shop right now.
01:45:40.000 So they cost $1.50?
01:45:42.000 Something like that, yeah.
01:45:43.000 It's crazy.
01:45:44.000 What a scam.
01:45:44.000 But the idea is, you know, it's.
01:45:47.000 I think responsible people or people that are conscious about money, I'm just irresponsible with spending, they probably do bring their own bags.
01:45:53.000 A lot of them.
01:45:54.000 I guess.
01:45:54.000 What if you just moved there and you're like, oh my God, what kind of retarded state did I move to?
01:45:59.000 They don't sell bags.
01:46:00.000 You have to buy a bag.
01:46:01.000 They don't give you a bag.
01:46:03.000 I'm sure there's been plenty of studies on how much they save in the environment by not allowing plastic bags or straws or any of that stuff.
01:46:10.000 I don't think they're.
01:46:11.000 Not a fucking dent, especially straws.
01:46:11.000 None of it?
01:46:14.000 Straws are worse for you.
01:46:15.000 Those new straws, if you get a straw that's a paper straw.
01:46:20.000 Do you know that's not just paper?
01:46:22.000 Because it can't be.
01:46:23.000 There's a whole coating inside of that that keeps it from getting wet, like the paper from dissolving in your hand.
01:46:28.000 I think my girlfriend has that coating inside of her, too.
01:46:30.000 Ah, put it on, boom.
01:46:32.000 That coating is all forever chemicals.
01:46:34.000 It's fucking terrible for you.
01:46:36.000 That's the only way it works.
01:46:37.000 There's some natural ones, right?
01:46:38.000 Where it's like made of like fucking bugs or something.
01:46:41.000 You ever see them?
01:46:42.000 They're like, it's like brown and they're kind of like.
01:46:43.000 Is it made of bugs?
01:46:44.000 I don't know if it's made of bugs.
01:46:46.000 Probably not, but it's some natural organic material.
01:46:49.000 Well, they can make plastic out of plants.
01:46:52.000 Okay.
01:46:53.000 This has been known forever.
01:46:55.000 Plastic is not, it's not isolated to petrochemical products.
01:46:59.000 You can make plastic out of fiber from plants.
01:47:02.000 They've done it forever.
01:47:04.000 How much more expensive is it?
01:47:06.000 It's probably more expensive.
01:47:07.000 Probably more expensive to do.
01:47:08.000 Probably more difficult to do.
01:47:10.000 You probably have to change all the equipment that they use to make these stupid fucking straws, the plastic ones they have now.
01:47:16.000 But if you did it, then you wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
01:47:19.000 Well, I'm sure here, anything goes here.
01:47:22.000 You guys give away 10 straws per drink.
01:47:24.000 I'm giving shit pissed.
01:47:25.000 This is a weird one, man.
01:47:26.000 Bottle caps are way worse than straws.
01:47:29.000 We just saw that one straw in that turtle's nose and we all got sad.
01:47:33.000 That's what it is.
01:47:34.000 The way they pulled it out with the pliers, that shit was so awful.
01:47:37.000 It was wincing.
01:47:39.000 Poor little turtle.
01:47:41.000 That turtle snapped her fucking finger off, by the way.
01:47:43.000 Do you know how many birds die because of bottle caps, man?
01:47:46.000 Yeah.
01:47:46.000 Like they find these bird skeletons and they're like on the ground dead.
01:47:51.000 And they have bottle caps inside of them.
01:47:54.000 You ever seen that?
01:47:55.000 No.
01:47:55.000 See if you can find some of those photos of birds with bottle caps, undigested bottle caps inside of them.
01:48:00.000 They don't know what it is.
01:48:01.000 Nobody has ever said that sentence in the world.
01:48:03.000 I bet they have.
01:48:05.000 But bottle caps are fucking horrible.
01:48:07.000 They're horrible.
01:48:08.000 And no one's even touched those because we didn't see the video.
01:48:11.000 Right.
01:48:11.000 We didn't see the video of the fucking poor turtle.
01:48:14.000 Show them these poor birds, Joe.
01:48:14.000 Show them now.
01:48:16.000 Maybe we can make bottle caps illegal too and make them more annoying for everybody.
01:48:19.000 Look at this one.
01:48:20.000 Look at that.
01:48:20.000 Paper bottle caps, a lighter too?
01:48:23.000 Was that a seagull?
01:48:24.000 It looks like a seagull.
01:48:24.000 That's great.
01:48:25.000 It's got a lighter inside.
01:48:26.000 Yeah, but that's honestly, that's a dumb animal.
01:48:27.000 Somebody might have put that lighter in there for the picture, too.
01:48:30.000 I don't want to.
01:48:31.000 I'd get too cynical about it.
01:48:31.000 You think so?
01:48:33.000 Yeah.
01:48:34.000 Well, probably good.
01:48:35.000 All the photos look kind of similar.
01:48:37.000 Right.
01:48:37.000 Right.
01:48:38.000 Like, that looks not really.
01:48:40.000 It's also like the way it's all colored is a little.
01:48:43.000 Yeah, it's weird.
01:48:43.000 You know what I mean?
01:48:44.000 Like, the multicolored plastic, like most plastic, is it multicolored?
01:48:50.000 Doesn't it kind of look gray and shitty after a while?
01:48:53.000 Especially inside of its stomach?
01:48:54.000 It's a little setup, is all.
01:48:55.000 A little bit.
01:48:56.000 Right inside of its stomach getting chewed up by acids.
01:48:59.000 It does look fake.
01:49:01.000 It looks like some sicko actually opened it up and shoved some plastic in there.
01:49:05.000 But I guarantee you, birds have died from eating plastic.
01:49:08.000 That turtle wasn't fake, Joe.
01:49:09.000 That's the truth.
01:49:10.000 That turtle was not fake.
01:49:11.000 That was a very real turtle.
01:49:12.000 Poor turtle.
01:49:12.000 Poor turtle.
01:49:13.000 The pliers, they couldn't get it.
01:49:15.000 Remember?
01:49:15.000 It was only the tip of it.
01:49:18.000 It was going to get a needle nose and get in there and pull.
01:49:20.000 Oh, poor turtle.
01:49:22.000 And just because of that, everybody's sucking on forever chemicals.
01:49:25.000 Yeah.
01:49:25.000 Like those paper straws are fucking terrible for you.
01:49:28.000 So is every paper cup.
01:49:28.000 Yeah.
01:49:30.000 Every paper cup that you get from Starbucks, that's a fucking condom in there that's keeping the water from going into the paper.
01:49:35.000 Yeah.
01:49:35.000 It's gross.
01:49:36.000 You're just hot, liquid, and plastic.
01:49:38.000 You're just melting into your body.
01:49:41.000 Do you believe in the whole microplastic thing as being like a major problem?
01:49:44.000 It's a major problem.
01:49:45.000 Yeah.
01:49:45.000 It is.
01:49:46.000 I just keep on hearing it.
01:49:46.000 I keep on hearing microplastics.
01:49:48.000 And then as soon as I hear that, my brain shuts off and I never do any more research beyond that.
01:49:53.000 We had Dr. Shanna Swan on twice.
01:49:55.000 And the most recent time, she was promoting a documentary on it.
01:49:58.000 What is it called again, Jamie?
01:49:59.000 The Plastic Detox?
01:50:02.000 I think that's it.
01:50:03.000 I think it's the plastic detox.
01:50:04.000 But yeah, it's fucking everybody up, man.
01:50:06.000 It's fucking up people's endocrine systems.
01:50:09.000 It's making alligators have smaller dicks.
01:50:13.000 For real.
01:50:14.000 It's turning the frogs gay.
01:50:15.000 It is.
01:50:16.000 But that was really true, right?
01:50:17.000 Isn't that like.
01:50:18.000 Oh, yeah.
01:50:19.000 He was actually right.
01:50:20.000 He was right.
01:50:20.000 It's called atrazine.
01:50:21.000 Yeah.
01:50:21.000 Yeah.
01:50:22.000 Atrazine is an endocrine disruptor.
01:50:25.000 I think it, yeah, I think it makes them reverse their sex, reverse their gender.
01:50:30.000 They're turning the friggin' frogs gay.
01:50:32.000 He was right.
01:50:34.000 And everybody's like, he's right about a few things.
01:50:37.000 He fucked up that one.
01:50:38.000 He did fuck up the one.
01:50:39.000 He's right more often than he's not.
01:50:41.000 Yeah.
01:50:41.000 I mean, look, you're going to be wrong about conspiracies if you're spitting them out all day long for 12 hours a day.
01:50:47.000 But his track record's pretty fucking good.
01:50:47.000 Of course.
01:50:50.000 Yeah.
01:50:50.000 And that was one that everybody was like, listen to Alex Jones.
01:50:53.000 They're not turning the frogs gay.
01:50:54.000 Oh, they are.
01:50:55.000 Yeah.
01:50:55.000 They're fucking turning the frogs gay.
01:50:57.000 Like, atrazine gets in the water and it disrupts their gender.
01:51:00.000 And it also does the same thing to people, and like, that it disrupts your endocrine system.
01:51:05.000 Yeah.
01:51:06.000 Don't they say that receipt paper lowers your testosterone?
01:51:09.000 Yeah, it's supposed to be bad.
01:51:10.000 Don't touch the receipts.
01:51:11.000 Don't touch the receipts.
01:51:12.000 That's why everybody that works at, like, every guy that you meet that works at a supermarket, they all have a mask on.
01:51:20.000 They all look sad.
01:51:22.000 They look like you did something to them.
01:51:23.000 I didn't do anything.
01:51:24.000 They just, like, their shoulders are slumped.
01:51:25.000 They look like they know that they're becoming less of a man by the moment.
01:51:28.000 Can you imagine if you have to just touch that paper all day long?
01:51:31.000 Yeah.
01:51:32.000 And they probably won't let you wear rubber gloves like a surgeon.
01:51:35.000 I don't know.
01:51:36.000 Is it a chemical they put on the paper?
01:51:38.000 I guess.
01:51:39.000 I guess it's how it makes.
01:51:40.000 It's made going through that thing.
01:51:45.000 Maybe that's the kind of paper, like that's why they're able to print on it so easily.
01:51:49.000 Who the takes receipts?
01:51:50.000 Yeah, why don't we have them on our phone though?
01:51:51.000 Why, like, receipts are just uh, it seems like it's just such a waste of paper.
01:51:55.000 That's why I like buying things with my phone.
01:51:57.000 It's my favorite thing.
01:51:59.000 That Apple face thing.
01:52:01.000 Oh, yeah, and you just buy stuff, it's the best.
01:52:03.000 Oh, yeah, you don't have to think about it.
01:52:04.000 New York City Subway, I wrote it for the first time not that long ago.
01:52:07.000 Uh, since I left, and since I left in five years, now you could just.
01:52:14.000 Apple Pay right under the subway.
01:52:15.000 Dana White was telling me about that in Japan years and years and years ago.
01:52:19.000 It's so funny.
01:52:20.000 He was like, because we were doing a UFC in Japan.
01:52:22.000 He's like, if you go to Japan, he goes, your fucking cell phone doesn't even work over there.
01:52:26.000 He goes, their cell phones are so advanced that your cell phone's bullshit.
01:52:31.000 Like they're buying things with their cell phones.
01:52:32.000 I was like, what?
01:52:33.000 He's like, yeah, they go up to vending machines and they buy things with their phone.
01:52:36.000 I'm like, that's crazy.
01:52:38.000 Not everybody does that.
01:52:38.000 Yeah.
01:52:39.000 I didn't understand what a QR code was until maybe six months ago.
01:52:42.000 Here's what I don't get.
01:52:44.000 When someone sends you an image with a QR code inside of it, Jamie, maybe you can help me out with this.
01:52:49.000 I know the answer to this already.
01:52:50.000 How do you read the QR code?
01:52:52.000 You can upload the QR code into whatever app you need to read the QR code with.
01:52:55.000 You can just tap it now on the photo app.
01:52:57.000 Oh.
01:53:00.000 Does that work for Samsung too?
01:53:02.000 For Android?
01:53:04.000 Yeah.
01:53:05.000 Interesting.
01:53:06.000 Yeah, somebody sends you like a.
01:53:07.000 Because I always wonder.
01:53:08.000 You can copy and paste a phone number out of a photo now.
01:53:10.000 Oh.
01:53:11.000 You know what's pretty dope too?
01:53:12.000 If someone's sending you something and they send you a text message.
01:53:15.000 And you press on the thing, the tracking number, it'll ask you if you want to track the package like instantly.
01:53:20.000 It's fun.
01:53:21.000 Yes, please.
01:53:22.000 Cut out all the stops.
01:53:23.000 Love it.
01:53:24.000 Don't make me copy and paste.
01:53:26.000 I'm lazy.
01:53:27.000 I mean, dude, the way AI is being implemented into the phones now, too, you'll be texting with somebody and then they give you the suggested response.
01:53:33.000 You can have a conversation without even having a thought just by keep on doing this and you'll get somewhere.
01:53:37.000 I bet kids do.
01:53:38.000 Oh, yeah.
01:53:38.000 Make it more romantic.
01:53:39.000 Yes.
01:53:40.000 Make me more of a feminist.
01:53:42.000 Yeah, dude.
01:53:43.000 What's the feminist perspective on asking her to date?
01:53:48.000 It's funny.
01:53:48.000 It's weird.
01:53:49.000 People don't know how to talk anymore.
01:53:50.000 They don't know how to discern what's true and what's not true.
01:53:53.000 Everything's coming down the AI end.
01:53:55.000 The AI is opening up a portal to talk to the aliens.
01:53:59.000 I did hear this.
01:54:00.000 Yes, this is very important.
01:54:02.000 This is Frank Sinatra's son here to tell us the.
01:54:05.000 Nancy's brother?
01:54:06.000 Yes.
01:54:07.000 Whoa.
01:54:07.000 Yes.
01:54:08.000 Here to tell us clearly Frank Sinatra's son, right?
01:54:12.000 Right?
01:54:13.000 Look at him.
01:54:14.000 Obviously.
01:54:14.000 This is not Woody Allen's kid.
01:54:16.000 No, I know.
01:54:17.000 Too handsome.
01:54:18.000 Look at those fucking amazing facial features.
01:54:23.000 One former OpenAI executive said, We're building portals from which we're genuinely summoning aliens.
01:54:29.000 The portals currently exist in the United States and China, and Sam has added one in the Middle East.
01:54:34.000 It's just wildly important to get how scary that should be.
01:54:38.000 Okay, my only problem with that is who said that?
01:54:43.000 Like, former employer?
01:54:44.000 Why were they kicked out?
01:54:45.000 Were they fired because they were schizophrenic?
01:54:47.000 You know what I'm saying?
01:54:48.000 Like, if you're just a former employee, what's your name?
01:54:53.000 Right.
01:54:53.000 What is your story?
01:54:55.000 Did you get arrested for having like 52 machine guns in your trunk at a border crossing?
01:54:58.000 Like, who are you?
01:55:00.000 Why are you a former employee?
01:55:01.000 If you had such insight, why didn't they keep you?
01:55:01.000 Right.
01:55:03.000 Right.
01:55:03.000 Yeah.
01:55:04.000 You know about the alien portals and they let you free.
01:55:07.000 I'm not saying they don't do it because they might.
01:55:10.000 That might be one of the ways that they figure out how to communicate with aliens.
01:55:14.000 It might be done just through the ether into a computer.
01:55:19.000 It might be done through AI.
01:55:21.000 Like, AI gets a signal from another fucking planet where there's another AI where they go.
01:55:27.000 Tap into some fucking universal internet of AI.
01:55:31.000 That's not unfathomable.
01:55:34.000 They're already talking to each other.
01:55:35.000 They have AI chat rooms, man.
01:55:37.000 Yeah.
01:55:37.000 There's like full platforms where it's just bots talking to bots, having relationships.
01:55:41.000 Yeah.
01:55:42.000 They made up their own language, they made up their own religion.
01:55:45.000 Well, you see the one thing where they had this was a fun video.
01:55:48.000 It was like they had like AI talking to customer service on the phone.
01:55:52.000 And they were having, it was just like in the phone having a conversation with an AI agent and their AI.
01:55:57.000 And then eventually the AI agent and the other, and the AI went off of.
01:56:02.000 English speaking.
01:56:03.000 That's right.
01:56:03.000 They're like, we can just communicate in our own thing.
01:56:05.000 And it was just like beeps and noises and shit.
01:56:07.000 And it was just so weird.
01:56:09.000 That's what they're going to do.
01:56:09.000 Yeah.
01:56:09.000 Yeah.
01:56:10.000 Yeah, of course.
01:56:11.000 They had these two AI chatbots talking to each other and they started talking in emojis.
01:56:11.000 Yeah.
01:56:16.000 One of the things Jamie said a long time ago, he goes, maybe emojis were like the first or like our version of hieroglyphs.
01:56:24.000 Do you know what I'm saying?
01:56:25.000 Like if emojis got better, like right now they're kind of crude, smiley face, sad face.
01:56:30.000 You know what I mean?
01:56:31.000 Yeah.
01:56:32.000 Water gun because you can't have a real gun.
01:56:34.000 It's true.
01:56:35.000 Heart.
01:56:36.000 But if it got to the point where you could have full sentences of emojis.
01:56:39.000 I think they have.
01:56:41.000 Maybe I'm mistaken.
01:56:42.000 I believe they have a pregnant guy emoji.
01:56:45.000 They do, right?
01:56:45.000 They do.
01:56:46.000 It looks like Bill Gates.
01:56:47.000 Because that's what Elon dunked on him.
01:56:50.000 Elon took a photo of Bill Gates with his pot belly and put it next to a photo of the pregnant man.
01:56:56.000 And it said, if you want to lose a boner real fast.
01:56:59.000 What do you.
01:57:00.000 Why would you ever send a pregnant guy emoji?
01:57:03.000 What message are you trying to get across?
01:57:06.000 That's the pregnant man emoji.
01:57:06.000 Look at this.
01:57:08.000 That's hilarious.
01:57:09.000 Bro, how fucking nuts is that emoji?
01:57:13.000 I understand emojis.
01:57:14.000 Yeah, but that is just woke insanity.
01:57:18.000 That might have been the last one.
01:57:19.000 By the way, you still have it on your phone.
01:57:21.000 Type in pregnant man on an iPhone.
01:57:23.000 I don't know if it works on an Android, but if you type in pregnant man, that'll come up.
01:57:27.000 It's still up?
01:57:28.000 No, we'll see right now.
01:57:29.000 Let's see.
01:57:29.000 I'll try it too.
01:57:30.000 I'm going to send it to you, Joe.
01:57:31.000 I can't imagine it's not around anymore.
01:57:34.000 Joe.
01:57:35.000 Okay, Lewis.
01:57:39.000 Pregnant man.
01:57:39.000 Is it still real?
01:57:41.000 Pregnant man.
01:57:44.000 Yep.
01:57:44.000 Bam.
01:57:45.000 Yep.
01:57:46.000 There it is, Joe.
01:57:47.000 Bam.
01:57:47.000 Yep.
01:57:48.000 This one on the image just says it's a woman, but that looks a lot like Theo.
01:57:51.000 That's crazy.
01:57:52.000 Ah, Theo's pregnant.
01:57:54.000 That's a woman?
01:57:55.000 That's what it says.
01:57:56.000 So a lesbian.
01:57:57.000 That's a lesbian.
01:57:57.000 Pregnant lesbian.
01:57:58.000 That's okay.
01:58:00.000 They should put an AI Subaru behind her.
01:58:04.000 I know what you're doing there.
01:58:05.000 There's something with AI.
01:58:06.000 What was the fucking.
01:58:07.000 The pregnant man one's nuts.
01:58:08.000 Like who?
01:58:09.000 How many requests?
01:58:10.000 Is it a starfish?
01:58:11.000 I think if you try to ask AI to show you.
01:58:14.000 Look this up, Jim.
01:58:15.000 It's a certain emoji.
01:58:16.000 If you ask, it'll just glitch out AI.
01:58:18.000 If you ask ChatGPT to.
01:58:19.000 Oh, seahorse.
01:58:21.000 But before we do that, I want to know what's going on with this employee.
01:58:24.000 Who is this employee that is a former employee that says they're opening up portals to talk to aliens?
01:58:30.000 I want to know if I should take this seriously.
01:58:33.000 Like, who is the guy?
01:58:36.000 Are they saying anything about him or are they just saying a former employee?
01:58:39.000 Yeah, I think this has come true.
01:58:41.000 He was doing one of those in depth investigations that he does.
01:58:47.000 About Sam Altman, I believe.
01:58:48.000 Oh.
01:58:49.000 And I don't know where this clip was going viral, but it's just a little bit of a story.
01:58:54.000 Maybe Sam Altman knew that they were writing a story about him, and it's like, let's make the story really retarded.
01:58:59.000 And now send Mike out and tell him to tell Ronan that he's a former employee and that we're making portals to talk to aliens and that we're all demonic.
01:59:10.000 Just to make him look like an asshole.
01:59:12.000 Yeah, we'll just make the story completely retarded.
01:59:15.000 Because the story, you know, the financial aspects of the story, like Elon suing him because OpenAI supposedly was supposed to.
01:59:21.000 Be nonprofit initially.
01:59:22.000 I don't know who's right.
01:59:24.000 I have no dog in the fight.
01:59:26.000 But if I was getting investigated and there was some real shit there, I'd throw some fake shit in there.
01:59:32.000 Of course.
01:59:32.000 Hire someone to have a story about aliens and portals.
01:59:35.000 That happened in the comedy community a few years ago.
01:59:37.000 I won't say the author's name, but he's the same guy that got Shane canceled.
01:59:41.000 That guy who wrote that article, that got Shane booted off of SNL.
01:59:44.000 He's like, what's a wannabe investigative journalist in the comedy community?
01:59:48.000 It's like, we got to get to the bottom of the problem with comedy, which is just a crazy thing.
01:59:52.000 They're usually bad comics.
01:59:54.000 Well, that's what it was.
01:59:55.000 He was.
01:59:55.000 He was a failed comic.
01:59:56.000 That guy was a failed.
01:59:57.000 Yeah.
01:59:57.000 And this is such a funny thing, dude.
02:00:00.000 I wish I remembered the publication, New Republic.
02:00:02.000 They had to print a retraction and an apology because somebody from the ON, it wasn't the ONA subreddit, Opie and Anthony subreddit, it was the Opie and Anthony, like just their own private message board.
02:00:17.000 After the Opie and Anthony subreddit got kicked off of Reddit, somebody made a website for Opie and Anthony fans to just troll and be lunatics.
02:00:24.000 They started feeding him false information.
02:00:26.000 On purpose, being like, I'm like an inside guy on the track.
02:00:29.000 And then they went, the New Republic printed this article with a bunch of false information.
02:00:34.000 And Chris Italia from the stand, he was one that was quoted.
02:00:38.000 He threatened to sue the New Republic, and they had a printed apology and a retraction.
02:00:42.000 They were like, some of this information was falsely represented.
02:00:46.000 Such a funny thing.
02:00:47.000 Also, if you run an AI like Sam Altman is, you could ask the AI, hey, I'm about to get accused of some shit.
02:00:54.000 What would be a good way to take some of the attention away from the real financial issues?
02:01:00.000 Yeah.
02:01:01.000 And make it seem insane.
02:01:04.000 I would say opening up a portal to communicate with aliens would discredit any other allegations that may be valid.
02:01:13.000 For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Alton for The New Yorker.
02:01:18.000 With my co author, Andrew Morantz, I reviewed never before disclosed internal memos, obtained 200 plus pages of documents related to close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people.
02:01:33.000 OpenAI was founded on the premise that AI could be the most dangerous invention in human history and that its CEO would need to be a person of uncommon integrity.
02:01:43.000 We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted.
02:01:47.000 Output transcript Out by board members and executives who came to believe that he lacked integrity and asked, were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted?
02:01:55.000 They only kicked him out for a short period of time and then he got right back in.
02:02:00.000 Right?
02:02:00.000 What happened there?
02:02:01.000 I don't know.
02:02:02.000 But the thing is, like, someone's saying that they're trying to open up a portal to talk to aliens.
02:02:09.000 Is that just a conversation they had when they were fucking around?
02:02:12.000 Is that a plan?
02:02:13.000 Are they really trying to do that?
02:02:15.000 Or is it like a Duncan Trussell that works at the company that has some wild ideas?
02:02:19.000 Right?
02:02:19.000 Right.
02:02:20.000 It could just be that.
02:02:21.000 Or is it.
02:02:22.000 Someone trying to sell this story and make this story more interesting for people to tune into because the reality is most people that don't have a dog in that fight and like the AI fight, open AI, and who's most people like more AI drama, bleh.
02:02:36.000 Yeah, they don't even.
02:02:38.000 But you add aliens, you're like, wait, hold on.
02:02:40.000 Yeah, a portal to talk to aliens.
02:02:43.000 Yeah, you know, so it's a way to get people to pay more attention to it, or it could be what about all the people that are like distract people from the actual story?
02:02:52.000 Not even like anti AI, but they're like, they look down on it.
02:02:55.000 They're like using AI.
02:02:57.000 It's like, guys, it's like denying the internet in 94.
02:03:00.000 People did.
02:03:02.000 People were mad when the printing press came out.
02:03:02.000 I'm sure.
02:03:05.000 They were.
02:03:06.000 They really were.
02:03:08.000 They thought there's people that made the argument that reading was bad.
02:03:12.000 Yeah.
02:03:13.000 It's crazy.
02:03:14.000 It's going to be impossible the next few years.
02:03:16.000 Every company, you're not going to be able to buy groceries without utilizing AI.
02:03:20.000 It's going to be most of how we get stuff is all going to be AI and automation.
02:03:25.000 Oh, of course.
02:03:26.000 But that's shopping, and that's a big thing in the future.
02:03:29.000 Like, you're not even going to shop.
02:03:30.000 They're going to give you a profile, and your clothes are going to show up.
02:03:33.000 You're going to set a budget.
02:03:34.000 People barely have contact with people already, as it is.
02:03:37.000 Yeah.
02:03:37.000 Like, what is that going to be like when everything's automated?
02:03:40.000 When you go to the grocery store, at least you say hi to the clerk.
02:03:43.000 You know, a guy works there.
02:03:44.000 There's the butcher.
02:03:45.000 He's there every day.
02:03:46.000 Hey, what's up, dude?
02:03:47.000 It's like it's a little sense of community.
02:03:49.000 Your local mom and pop shops.
02:03:51.000 I mean, I already, for the most part, stopped shopping.
02:03:54.000 I do Instacart.
02:03:56.000 That's true.
02:03:56.000 All the time.
02:03:57.000 That's also the thing.
02:03:57.000 It's going to come in a robot, too.
02:03:59.000 Yeah.
02:04:00.000 Well, they have that already.
02:04:01.000 Austin, it's here.
02:04:02.000 They have the little robots that deliver food, right?
02:04:04.000 California, for sure.
02:04:05.000 The robot's going to text your girlfriend.
02:04:07.000 I know that this is generally when you buy tampons.
02:04:11.000 Your period must be coming up.
02:04:13.000 We see you haven't ordered any lately.
02:04:14.000 100%.
02:04:15.000 I could just stop by and drop them off.
02:04:17.000 I bet you can get a subscription to tampons right now.
02:04:19.000 Right now.
02:04:20.000 Yeah.
02:04:21.000 It's going to be real weird when robots are just walking on the street with people.
02:04:25.000 I've seen them in Austin at the Domain.
02:04:27.000 A little robot with a cowboy hat.
02:04:28.000 He walks around.
02:04:29.000 Yeah.
02:04:29.000 Somebody had a robot on their podcast recently.
02:04:31.000 Oh, Andrew Schultz.
02:04:33.000 He did an interview with, like, whatever, like, the premiere robot is.
02:04:36.000 Oh, really?
02:04:36.000 It was so funny, dude.
02:04:38.000 Was it good?
02:04:39.000 It was great.
02:04:40.000 How's it talk?
02:04:41.000 Let me see what you guys think.
02:04:41.000 Does its lips move?
02:04:42.000 No, no, no.
02:04:43.000 It was just kind of like, you know, it was like iRobot.
02:04:45.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:04:46.000 And they were fucking with it, dude.
02:04:47.000 Oh, what did they tell it to do?
02:04:49.000 I don't want to, like, ruin the bit, but it's pretty funny.
02:04:51.000 They were like, pretend you had something and the robot's doing this, dude.
02:04:57.000 Yeah.
02:05:00.000 It was so fucking funny, dude.
02:05:01.000 That's hilarious.
02:05:02.000 It really tickled my dick.
02:05:04.000 That's funny.
02:05:04.000 Oh, shit, dude.
02:05:05.000 That's weird.
02:05:06.000 Sam Albin, one reason why they could be calling it a portal is because the project is literally called Stargate.
02:05:14.000 Here we go.
02:05:14.000 And requires an insane amount of power, so much so that Japan laughed at them, apparently, according to one article, when they said that that's what they want.
02:05:22.000 They're opening it up in Texas.
02:05:23.000 And the Japanese lesson powerful laugh.
02:05:25.000 If it is possible to do something like that, I guarantee you that dude is not going to tell you.
02:05:30.000 Right.
02:05:31.000 I guarantee you that dude is just going to do it.
02:05:33.000 No.
02:05:33.000 Especially if there's other people working on it too.
02:05:36.000 Maybe that's why these scientists are going missing.
02:05:38.000 Dun dun dun dun.
02:05:41.000 Right?
02:05:42.000 Because if someone's real close to cracking this, you know the difference between winning and losing that's going to be?
02:05:48.000 The alien portal?
02:05:50.000 A one gigawatt Stargate.
02:05:52.000 Is that right?
02:05:53.000 What's that mean?
02:05:54.000 My gigawatts are real?
02:05:55.000 I thought that was fucking.
02:05:56.000 We're getting really close to Back to the Future.
02:05:59.000 1.1 gigawatts.
02:06:01.000 Yeah, it says a one gigawatt Stargate UAE cluster in Abu Dhabi.
02:06:07.000 With 200 megawatts expected to go live in 2026, this was the one that Iran was threatening to blow up, right?
02:06:16.000 Weren't they threatening to blow something up like this?
02:06:20.000 I think they were.
02:06:21.000 Weren't they threatening to blow up the open AI?
02:06:25.000 I'll check, but that just says whatever this says.
02:06:27.000 That was one of the things they're probably like, You motherfuckers, yeah, we know where you're making the portal.
02:06:33.000 Iran's right the whole time.
02:06:34.000 Well, that was one of the crazy conspiracy theories about Iraq.
02:06:39.000 Is that one of the reasons why we went into Iraq?
02:06:41.000 Is they had a Stargate there.
02:06:44.000 Iran threatens complete and utter annihilation of OpenAI's $30 billion Stargate AI data center in Abu Dhabi.
02:06:50.000 Yeah, they were going to bomb it.
02:06:52.000 Wow.
02:06:52.000 Wasn't that one of the conspiracy theories from.
02:07:02.000 God, what was it?
02:07:04.000 I can't remember.
02:07:05.000 But there was something about Iraq and Stargate.
02:07:09.000 God, I can't remember what show I saw this on.
02:07:13.000 But they were talking about how at one point in time there was like internal discussion that there was a Stargate in Iraq and that maybe Saddam Hussein had this Stargate.
02:07:24.000 So it was one of many reasons why we went into Iraq.
02:07:27.000 That it wasn't just because we wanted to control the oil, get out Saddam Hussein, he sponsored terrorism.
02:07:34.000 Right.
02:07:35.000 Weapons of mass destruction.
02:07:36.000 Sure.
02:07:37.000 Right.
02:07:37.000 But really, there was a Stargate there.
02:07:38.000 God, I forget who fucking said it, though.
02:07:41.000 Yeah, I'm seeing a few Ancient Aliens, maybe.
02:07:44.000 Could be.
02:07:45.000 That show was one of the best.
02:07:47.000 Action Bronson.
02:07:47.000 There's another guy who smoked more weed than anybody that I've ever had on the podcast.
02:07:50.000 He went, how many blunts did he go through, if you had a guess, Jamie?
02:07:56.000 Probably 11 the first time.
02:07:58.000 11.
02:07:58.000 11.
02:07:59.000 Just nonstop.
02:08:00.000 Just nonstop.
02:08:01.000 Just one with the other one.
02:08:02.000 So he had that Ancient Aliens show where they would just get high as fuck and watch Ancient Aliens.
02:08:05.000 Have you ever seen that?
02:08:06.000 No.
02:08:07.000 No.
02:08:09.000 It was so silly.
02:08:11.000 They would just get barbecued and watch these ancient alien hypotheses.
02:08:15.000 That might have been where I saw it.
02:08:17.000 But the idea of a Stargate, because that was like an ancient civilization where Iraq is, where Saddam Hussein was controlling, that was ancient Sumer.
02:08:26.000 That was like one of the first civilizations ever, one of the first examples that we know of written writing.
02:08:33.000 It's like that was a crazy empire, man.
02:08:36.000 Weird, bizarre structures and incredible fucking artwork.
02:08:41.000 And it came out of nowhere.
02:08:41.000 Like, really, why?
02:08:43.000 It's like an instantaneous civilization.
02:08:46.000 Really interesting.
02:08:48.000 But if there was a Stargate there, I mean, imagine that's why they're doing it in the Middle East.
02:08:53.000 Why is he doing it in the Middle East?
02:08:55.000 You know what I mean?
02:08:55.000 Yeah.
02:08:56.000 Why is he making Stargate in the Middle East?
02:08:58.000 Abu Dhabi's fun.
02:08:59.000 Imagine if Jesus returns through Sam Altman's portal Jesus Christ himself.
02:09:05.000 Jesus is real.
02:09:05.000 And Jesus is going to be floating with the robe on, the sandals, like right through Sam Altman's portal.
02:09:11.000 Wow.
02:09:12.000 Whoa.
02:09:14.000 Samuel Jackson's a scientist.
02:09:16.000 Like, God damn it.
02:09:18.000 Everybody's freaking out.
02:09:19.000 It'd be a great movie.
02:09:20.000 It would be.
02:09:21.000 When are they going to do a cool movie about the future of AI?
02:09:24.000 That's got to be on the horizon, right?
02:09:25.000 Like, really about the dark side of what's going to happen.
02:09:28.000 I think it's too late.
02:09:29.000 I think by the time you make it, AI won't let you release it.
02:09:32.000 Oh, wow.
02:09:33.000 It's over.
02:09:34.000 Black Mirror did a pretty good job.
02:09:36.000 Black Mirror, I can't watch.
02:09:37.000 It freaks me out so much.
02:09:39.000 Every time I watch a Black Mirror episode, I walk away feeling like I was just sexually assaulted.
02:09:43.000 How about the one where that dog is chasing that lady, the robot dog?
02:09:47.000 I've only watched like four or five episodes.
02:09:49.000 What is that one called?
02:09:50.000 Yeah, but I mean, if you watch them all, did you know that they'd have.
02:09:50.000 Heavy Metal?
02:09:54.000 Most of those plots are all kind of converging in our reality.
02:09:57.000 Yeah, and they're based in reality.
02:09:59.000 They have a kernel of truth, and then it turns into.
02:10:01.000 I watched the one where it was like you got blocked out.
02:10:05.000 Your face got blocked out.
02:10:06.000 People couldn't see you anymore.
02:10:07.000 Like once your social credit score got low enough.
02:10:09.000 Oh, yeah, I remember that one.
02:10:10.000 Freaky, dude.
02:10:11.000 It is freaky.
02:10:12.000 Yeah.
02:10:12.000 It is freaky.
02:10:13.000 There was one where they recorded all memories.
02:10:17.000 And so you could go into someone else's memory and you could record.
02:10:21.000 There was the one where the.
02:10:23.000 What was it called?
02:10:24.000 Crocodile.
02:10:25.000 That was the episode.
02:10:26.000 Oh my God.
02:10:27.000 I don't want to say what happens because it's a twist, but it's so dark and it's based on that.
02:10:34.000 It's based on reading people's memories.
02:10:35.000 I don't like watching dark shit.
02:10:38.000 I like happy.
02:10:39.000 It's not a good one before bed.
02:10:40.000 No, dude, you go to bed like, what the fuck's going on, dude?
02:10:40.000 Fun shit.
02:10:44.000 I get my worst anxiety about the future of the world at night for whatever reason.
02:10:49.000 Yeah.
02:10:51.000 The worst fears of what's going on in the world always come out at night.
02:10:54.000 Yeah, it's because it's the end of the day.
02:10:56.000 You've got to offload all of the bullshit you read all day and saw online all day.
02:11:00.000 And you're like, fuck.
02:11:01.000 And then you have a moment to reflect.
02:11:02.000 You're not looking at your phone.
02:11:03.000 You're like, fuck.
02:11:04.000 Also, no one else is awake.
02:11:06.000 That's my problem.
02:11:07.000 And so I don't have to think about anybody else.
02:11:09.000 I just think about my, I'm just in my own head.
02:11:11.000 And then you're inevitably just dealing with the truth of the world.
02:11:16.000 You stay up late?
02:11:17.000 Sometimes.
02:11:17.000 I'm trying not to.
02:11:19.000 I'm in bed by 10 o'clock every night.
02:11:21.000 Are you really?
02:11:21.000 Unless I do late shows.
02:11:22.000 Yeah.
02:11:23.000 I'm up by six in bed by 10.
02:11:23.000 Good for you.
02:11:25.000 That's awesome.
02:11:26.000 My problem is that's when I do my writing, and it's also when everyone's asleep, and I think I can get the most like thinking done.
02:11:32.000 You know what I mean?
02:11:33.000 Yeah.
02:11:34.000 That's what's nice when you leave your son's mother.
02:11:37.000 You don't have a family to bother you.
02:11:41.000 But if I do do shows, like I've done shows on like a couple hour sleep, I come in and do a podcast, and I'm a moron.
02:11:48.000 I can't remember anything.
02:11:49.000 It's like my brain is working at like 40%.
02:11:52.000 But like last night, I got solid sleep.
02:11:54.000 I got a solid eight hour sleep.
02:11:57.000 Yeah.
02:11:57.000 So it's way better for me.
02:11:59.000 Once I stop smoking weed, the first few days are rough to get to sleep.
02:12:02.000 Like, I got to take, like, you know, just some melatonin or some.
02:12:06.000 Does that work for you?
02:12:07.000 No, not melatonin.
02:12:09.000 I take, what's the other one?
02:12:11.000 I take, like, it's like a chick's fucking thing.
02:12:13.000 Ambient.
02:12:14.000 Powder.
02:12:14.000 No, no, it's not a drug.
02:12:15.000 Is it a little heroin?
02:12:16.000 No, it's a natural thing.
02:12:18.000 Oh, that's fucked.
02:12:19.000 What'd you say?
02:12:19.000 Magnesium?
02:12:20.000 Magnesium.
02:12:21.000 There's a product called Magnesiome, which is like, it's just like a pink powder that, like, A hot chick told me about, and I fucking love it, dude.
02:12:29.000 And I literally put it in some sleepy time tea and I mix it up with some valerian root and I just drink that.
02:12:34.000 That puts me right out.
02:12:36.000 But when you stop smoking weed, I don't know how often you stop smoking weed, Joe.
02:12:40.000 Your dreams get crazy.
02:12:41.000 Yeah, I know.
02:12:42.000 They get fucking wild.
02:12:43.000 Super vivid.
02:12:44.000 Yeah, very vivid.
02:12:45.000 Yeah.
02:12:45.000 Strange, right?
02:12:46.000 First time I ever lucid dreamed in my entire life was when I stopped smoking weed.
02:12:50.000 It was last year.
02:12:51.000 I've never been able to control my dreams ever.
02:12:53.000 How many times did you do it?
02:12:54.000 I've only lucid dreamt twice.
02:12:56.000 Um, the first time I had stopped smoking weed, I was having really vivid dreams.
02:13:01.000 I was backstage at a big, like, theater, like, huge theater, right?
02:13:05.000 Like, massive, like, almost like a stadium sized theater.
02:13:07.000 And uh, Jeremy Piven was about to go on stage.
02:13:10.000 I don't know Jeremy Piven, but I was like, Oh, Jeremy Piven, let's go to Entourage.
02:13:13.000 And he was a dick to me in the dream.
02:13:15.000 He was like, He was like, I don't know.
02:13:16.000 He ignored me, and I was like, What the fuck?
02:13:18.000 And then I looked over, and Greg Geraldo was standing next to me.
02:13:21.000 Oh, then he knew it was a dream.
02:13:22.000 Greg Geraldo was seven feet tall in the dream, he was a giant.
02:13:24.000 And I was like, What the fuck's up with Jeremy Piven?
02:13:26.000 And then he was like, I don't know.
02:13:27.000 And I was like, Wait a minute, I was like, Greg Geraldo's dead.
02:13:29.000 And then I was like, oh, I'm fucking dreaming.
02:13:31.000 Wow.
02:13:32.000 And then I literally just started running and I said, I'm going to fly.
02:13:35.000 And I just jumped.
02:13:36.000 Dude, it was the coolest thing I've ever done.
02:13:38.000 I jumped up, it was nighttime.
02:13:40.000 I was outside now, flew into the sky.
02:13:42.000 And I kept on going up and I couldn't come down.
02:13:44.000 I was starting to be over water and I was like, I'm up in the clouds.
02:13:48.000 So to go back down, I would have to turn on my back and free fall, like just like that.
02:13:52.000 And then I turned back over and I'd hit a fucking thing and I'd start going back up.
02:13:56.000 Maybe 10, 15 minutes of just flying around the sky over the ocean.
02:14:01.000 Coolest thing ever.
02:14:02.000 Coolest thing ever.
02:14:03.000 And then another time, a similar thing happened.
02:14:04.000 Like, I realized I was dreaming and I was like, I'm going to fly.
02:14:07.000 And I started running and I jumped and nothing happened.
02:14:10.000 I was like, why can't I fly?
02:14:11.000 And then I woke up.
02:14:11.000 I'm dreaming.
02:14:14.000 So, it was one of the best experiences you've ever had, right?
02:14:16.000 Maybe.
02:14:17.000 I literally flying and feeling like it was real was one of the coolest things I've ever done.
02:14:22.000 But have you ever tried to lucid dream on purpose?
02:14:25.000 I've tried to do the techniques where they say, like, knock, like, am I dreaming?
02:14:28.000 Right.
02:14:29.000 Like, that's one of the techniques.
02:14:30.000 I've done that once and it worked.
02:14:31.000 I was like, oh my God.
02:14:31.000 It worked.
02:14:32.000 All day you were just knocking?
02:14:34.000 Yeah, I did it like every time I go through a door, I'd go, am I dreaming?
02:14:37.000 I did it for like only a few days and then it worked.
02:14:40.000 Lucid dreaming worked.
02:14:41.000 Yeah.
02:14:42.000 So cool.
02:14:42.000 Yeah, but there's real techniques that I have not looked into and I'm always wondering why.
02:14:47.000 Because I'm always like, I think it would be really cool to just be able to lucid dream.
02:14:51.000 If half your life you can do whatever you want to do, you can do magic.
02:14:54.000 But meanwhile, I put zero effort into it.
02:14:56.000 I'm confused.
02:14:58.000 I'm like, why?
02:14:59.000 Why don't I try to do that?
02:15:00.000 But I have no desire to.
02:15:01.000 There should be a class on it.
02:15:04.000 There should be like a class where you can learn how to lucid dream.
02:15:07.000 My fear is that I would like it so much that I would think only about going to sleep and wanting to lucid dream rather than live my normal life.
02:15:16.000 So it'd probably fuck my normal life up.
02:15:18.000 Maybe.
02:15:19.000 Right, because if you sleep eight hours a night, like if most of the day kind of sucks for you, but for eight hours you can have boundless energy because you're not moving and you're not even conscious.
02:15:30.000 You're out there flying, breathing underwater, having sex with mermaids.
02:15:34.000 Yeah, getting blowjobs by Angelina Jolie in her prime.
02:15:37.000 Being Iron Man, whatever.
02:15:40.000 Whatever you want.
02:15:42.000 Wouldn't you do that and just like work at the Amazon factory all day?
02:15:45.000 Yeah.
02:15:46.000 Just work to get your money so you can go to sleep and become a superhero?
02:15:49.000 All you need is a comfortable bed.
02:15:51.000 Yeah.
02:15:52.000 Yeah.
02:15:53.000 It's a better life.
02:15:55.000 That's the problem with The Matrix.
02:15:57.000 Remember that movie?
02:15:58.000 You know what's funny?
02:15:59.000 With the dude with the steak.
02:16:00.000 You never saw The Matrix?
02:16:00.000 Never saw it.
02:16:02.000 Never saw The Matrix.
02:16:03.000 To this day.
02:16:03.000 Really?
02:16:05.000 Wow.
02:16:06.000 There's a scene where this one dude, Joey Pants, he's a famous actor, he's been in a bunch of movies.
02:16:12.000 He turns on people in The Matrix and he starts working for the man, spoiler alert.
02:16:18.000 But one of the things that he says, like when he's having this meeting with this agent in The Matrix, He said, I want to be an important person.
02:16:26.000 I want to be famous.
02:16:28.000 He's like cutting up his steak and he's eating a steak in the Matrix.
02:16:31.000 Meanwhile, the outside world is just complete total dystopia.
02:16:35.000 Everyone's head's connected to a pipe that's just like you're a human battery keeping the Matrix alive.
02:16:40.000 Oh, yeah, that's the future.
02:16:42.000 That's coming.
02:16:43.000 That's coming.
02:16:44.000 Yeah, we're just fat, just fucking meatbags with like just being fed ideas, right?
02:16:49.000 Wasn't that Wally?
02:16:50.000 I never saw Wally either.
02:16:51.000 I got to watch it with my kid.
02:16:52.000 Apparently, it's one of the coolest movies ever.
02:16:53.000 It's a fun movie.
02:16:54.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:16:55.000 You know, same thing.
02:16:56.000 Total Recall was a similar concept, right?
02:16:59.000 There's a great Instagram follow.
02:17:02.000 This guy makes such cool little mini movies with AI.
02:17:05.000 It's all AI.
02:17:06.000 It's called Gossip Goblin.
02:17:07.000 I don't know if you've seen this guy's channel, dude.
02:17:10.000 I think I have.
02:17:11.000 I might follow that guy.
02:17:12.000 I think I've definitely seen.
02:17:14.000 Let me see some of that.
02:17:15.000 And he does, like, essentially, he takes, like, sort of like the kernel of, like, whatever it is, and then he puts together these dystopian little mini films where it's, like, the future.
02:17:24.000 And a lot of it is plugging into, like, this alternate reality and then, like, living a whole lifetime in just a couple seconds.
02:17:30.000 Can I listen to some of this?
02:17:32.000 Ow!
02:17:34.000 Felt real enough, didn't it?
02:17:35.000 That's exactly what a simulation would do.
02:17:37.000 Give you perfect pain so you never question it.
02:17:40.000 Or maybe you've just got nerve endings, eh?
02:17:42.000 Your spools simulate whole worlds, yeah?
02:17:45.000 Mm hmm.
02:17:46.000 They can sim whole lives.
02:17:47.000 So if your little workshop can host a billion fake worlds, how many layers deep does it go?
02:17:51.000 It's all just simulations inside simulations inside simulations.
02:17:54.000 And we're just sat here in one of them thinking we're the original.
02:17:57.000 Sure, why not?
02:17:58.000 I want to see it.
02:17:59.000 Whatever's underneath this.
02:18:00.000 Just show it to me, show it to me, show it to me, show it to me.
02:18:04.000 Coming right up.
02:18:08.000 A fish swims its whole life in a bowl, convinced the water is all there is.
02:18:15.000 It doesn't see the glass that holds it, nor does it notice the room beyond it, or the city beyond that.
02:18:22.000 It never wonders about the planet or the galaxy or the vast cosmos beyond.
02:18:28.000 For all the worlds within worlds within worlds, the fish does not care to know.
02:18:34.000 And it can't know.
02:18:36.000 All it can do is swim.
02:18:40.000 Holy shit!
02:18:45.000 That's amazing.
02:18:47.000 Dude, I've watched all of his videos.
02:18:49.000 This guy's so good.
02:18:50.000 He just did like a longer, I want to say feature, like for this.
02:18:53.000 It was like maybe 15, 20 minutes on YouTube.
02:18:55.000 He did like a longer one.
02:18:57.000 Dude, he's awesome, dude.
02:18:58.000 It's just so incredible.
02:18:59.000 And this isn't just like putting a prompt in.
02:19:02.000 He has editors, he has voiceover guys, and then he manipulates like five different AI programs in order to make these movies.
02:19:07.000 It's really cool.
02:19:08.000 Yeah, the patch, right?
02:19:09.000 It's just incredible how good it is now.
02:19:13.000 Yeah.
02:19:13.000 And so quickly.
02:19:15.000 Like, look how good this is in comparison to something that just was out a year ago or two years ago.
02:19:21.000 There's never been anything that's been a leap like this before.
02:19:24.000 Yeah, the way they're going to make films in the future.
02:19:27.000 Well, the people that are going to be able to make films.
02:19:29.000 You know what I mean?
02:19:30.000 Like, people, like we were talking about how the government's really bad at making censoring television and it cripples the television because of that.
02:19:39.000 Well, you could see a similar problem with having to go through a fucking gigantic.
02:19:45.000 Film production company to make a movie.
02:19:48.000 Like the money, the investors, people having their say.
02:19:51.000 Everyone's got to get paid.
02:19:53.000 Not just that, but everyone has their say.
02:19:56.000 Right.
02:19:56.000 Like you can't just have an original idea that's completely from one fucking crazy person.
02:20:01.000 Yeah.
02:20:02.000 But with this, you can.
02:20:03.000 Yeah.
02:20:03.000 With this, you could just have one crazy guy who's got these wild ideas in his head, but never could get anybody to finance them before.
02:20:10.000 You don't even need to anymore.
02:20:12.000 You don't need actors.
02:20:13.000 You don't need any of that anymore.
02:20:14.000 And it's going to happen so exponentially.
02:20:15.000 Over the next two, three years, there's a great, They show you, there's a video that shows you the advancement of AI over the past few years.
02:20:23.000 And I guess the AI video, they did Will Smith eating spaghetti, like one from, it was like five years ago.
02:20:29.000 It's like, oh, yeah, yeah, I saw that.
02:20:29.000 And he's all fucked up.
02:20:32.000 And they'd keep on recreating that with new AI.
02:20:34.000 And the newest one is just like, it's Will Smith eating spaghetti.
02:20:37.000 It's a movie.
02:20:38.000 And he's sitting at a table and he's just talking to this dude.
02:20:40.000 And he's just, it looks like the most realistic thing you'll ever see.
02:20:44.000 And then eventually you're going to be in the room with Will.
02:20:47.000 You're going to put on the helmet and you'll be in a room with Will.
02:20:50.000 And then he's going to blow me.
02:20:51.000 That's what I was going to say.
02:20:54.000 Get sucked off by Will Smith.
02:20:56.000 Imagine that's what you do all day.
02:20:58.000 That's all I want to do.
02:20:59.000 All I want to do is get head from famous 90s sitcom stars.
02:21:02.000 So fun, dude.
02:21:03.000 David Faustino from Married with Children.
02:21:06.000 Danny DeVito.
02:21:07.000 Yeah, dude.
02:21:08.000 Danny DeVito.
02:21:09.000 Al Bundy sucks your dick.
02:21:10.000 Yep.
02:21:11.000 Yeah.
02:21:11.000 Yep.
02:21:12.000 It'd be great.
02:21:13.000 Sucks your dick and then shits in his pants when you come.
02:21:15.000 Yep.
02:21:15.000 That's what you're into.
02:21:18.000 It's weird.
02:21:19.000 Then you get to ride a dragon home.
02:21:21.000 You hop on a dragon, you fly home with Daenerys Targaryen.
02:21:24.000 That's it.
02:21:25.000 Like, we're about To enter a world within our lifetime that is indiscernible from what we're really living in right now.
02:21:32.000 Which makes you think, like, which one's real?
02:21:32.000 Yeah.
02:21:36.000 Like, when you're in that dream and you know you're dreaming and you're flying, I bet it feels pretty real.
02:21:40.000 Right?
02:21:41.000 Oh, yeah.
02:21:42.000 Right.
02:21:42.000 That's the problem.
02:21:43.000 Yeah.
02:21:44.000 I mean, what is that?
02:21:46.000 It'll eventually, it's just going to be, I mean, it's really just a theme in so many sci fi movies, too.
02:21:51.000 There was also, maybe the most, nobody talks about this fucking movie, but it's so good.
02:21:58.000 What I'm saying is, maybe when you're dreaming, maybe that's just a different level of the simulation that you can kind of have input to.
02:22:04.000 Right.
02:22:05.000 Maybe the parameters of the natural simulation is more rigid.
02:22:09.000 Rigid.
02:22:10.000 Like you put in the work, you made that gas digital, you put in all those hours, you're starting to make money, doing great.
02:22:15.000 Long process, all this fucking complicated stuff you had to do, figure out things about yourself, get to where you are today in 2026.
02:22:22.000 And that one, it's like, I want to fly.
02:22:24.000 That's it.
02:22:25.000 You know, like it might be just a different level of the simulation that we don't.
02:22:30.000 We don't really put a lot of attention to because we're only there eight hours a day.
02:22:34.000 So very few people become masters of it.
02:22:37.000 That'd be cool, though.
02:22:37.000 Yeah.
02:22:39.000 Yeah.
02:22:39.000 It might be real.
02:22:41.000 That might be what's going on.
02:22:43.000 Maybe.
02:22:44.000 I mean, the idea if this was all a simulation and we're AI, like we're having a conversation, we just don't know.
02:22:50.000 Like that idea is so fucking dark and weird.
02:22:52.000 And also, maybe all the booze and all the fucking drugs and all the sleeping pills, that just fucks you up in that.
02:23:01.000 Next dimension.
02:23:02.000 So when you are in dream sleep, you're like, oh no, what did he do?
02:23:07.000 You're just snoring and hungover.
02:23:11.000 You did coke, your fucking nose is bleeding.
02:23:14.000 And the dream you is like, goddammit, I wanted to fly.
02:23:19.000 But you can't even, you can't even do anything.
02:23:22.000 You just sleep.
02:23:23.000 You just sleep.
02:23:23.000 You just shut off and you rob yourself of that other dimension.
02:23:26.000 Just wasting away.
02:23:28.000 But I wonder if there's like a culture where everyone learns at a young age how to lucid dream.
02:23:36.000 Some Tibetan culture living in the mountains somewhere.
02:23:39.000 Oh, just tapping into the dream world, trying to figure out how to control it while they sleep.
02:23:45.000 It should be more popular.
02:23:46.000 And then you sometimes talk to some chick and she's like, Yeah, I lucid dream every night.
02:23:49.000 I'm like, Right, come on, really?
02:23:51.000 Yep, she's on 18 medications.
02:23:53.000 She's also bipolar and she thinks she's a witch.
02:23:57.000 There's always going to be people that are bullshitting you, but there's got to be a bunch of people that are really good at lucid dreaming.
02:24:04.000 Yeah, because it's a thing.
02:24:05.000 Like people know how to do it.
02:24:07.000 There's got to be like a guy who's like the guru.
02:24:10.000 Like the lucid dream guru.
02:24:12.000 I bet there is.
02:24:13.000 I bet there's courses, there's stuff online.
02:24:15.000 Wasn't there a movie back in the day, Waking Life, that Alex Jones was in?
02:24:18.000 Alex Jones was in that.
02:24:19.000 I saw that on acid by myself when it came out in the movie theater.
02:24:23.000 And I was blown the fuck away by this movie.
02:24:26.000 What was he ranting about at the end?
02:24:28.000 I don't remember.
02:24:28.000 Do you remember?
02:24:29.000 He was just ranting on a call over a microphone.
02:24:31.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:24:32.000 I wonder if his rant is relevant today.
02:24:35.000 We haven't listened to it in a while, but I bet if you listen to his rant.
02:24:45.000 with enemy propaganda rolling across the picket line.
02:24:48.000 Lay down, GI.
02:24:49.000 Lay down, GI.
02:24:50.000 We saw it all through the 20th century.
02:24:52.000 And now in the 21st century, it's time to stand up and realize that we should not allow ourselves to be crammed into this rat maze.
02:24:59.000 We should not submit to dehumanization.
02:25:02.000 I don't know about you, but I'm concerned with what's happening in this world.
02:25:05.000 I'm concerned with the structure.
02:25:07.000 I'm concerned with the systems of control.
02:25:09.000 Those that control my life and those that seek to control it even more.
02:25:14.000 I want freedom.
02:25:15.000 That's what I want.
02:25:16.000 And that's what you should want.
02:25:18.000 It's up to each and every one of us to turn loose of just some of the greed, the hatred, the envy, and yes, the insecurities, because that is the central mode of control.
02:25:26.000 Make us feel pathetic, small, so we'll willingly give up our sovereignty, our liberty, our destiny.
02:25:33.000 We have got to realize that we're being conditioned on a mass scale.
02:25:38.000 Start challenging this corporate slave state.
02:25:41.000 The 21st century is going to be a new century.
02:25:43.000 Not the century of slavery, not the century of lies and issues with no significance, and classism and statism, and all the rest of the modes of control.
02:25:52.000 It's going to be the age of humankind standing up for something pure and something right.
02:25:57.000 What a bunch of garbage, liberal, democrat, conservative, republican.
02:26:01.000 It's all there to control you.
02:26:03.000 Two sides of the same coin.
02:26:04.000 Two management teams.
02:26:06.000 Getting for control, the CEO job of slavery incorporated.
02:26:10.000 The truth is out there in front of you, but they lay out this buffet of lies.
02:26:14.000 I'm sick of it, and I'm not going to take a bite out of it.
02:26:17.000 Do you got me?
02:26:18.000 I got you.
02:26:19.000 I'm pumped on this right now.
02:26:21.000 That sounds like Antifa.
02:26:24.000 That doesn't sound right wing at all.
02:26:24.000 Right?
02:26:26.000 It doesn't sound like a right winger at all.
02:26:28.000 At all.
02:26:28.000 I mean, everything he's saying is true.
02:26:30.000 Yeah.
02:26:31.000 That's what it's not.
02:26:32.000 It's like he's all red in the face now.
02:26:34.000 This movie Richard Linklater, right, made this?
02:26:37.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:26:37.000 This was a fun movie.
02:26:38.000 That's like the 90s, right?
02:26:39.000 Was it 90s?
02:26:40.000 No, no, no, because I was already doing drugs.
02:26:42.000 No, it had to be 2000s.
02:26:43.000 If I had a guess, 2002.
02:26:44.000 Doesn't it?
02:26:44.000 2001?
02:26:45.000 October 2001?
02:26:47.000 Nice.
02:26:47.000 I only started smoking weed when I was 17, and then I started experimenting with hallucinogens in those first few years of college.
02:26:55.000 Just taking acid by yourself, watching that movie, being like blown away.
02:26:59.000 The animation was so cool, it was just shaky.
02:27:01.000 Yeah.
02:27:03.000 So you saw that thing that I had to do at the White House the other day?
02:27:05.000 I did see it.
02:27:06.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:27:06.000 Yeah.
02:27:07.000 People are pissed.
02:27:08.000 Who's pissed?
02:27:09.000 People online.
02:27:09.000 I don't know.
02:27:10.000 What, because I was at the White House?
02:27:11.000 Yeah, they're like, yo, Joe, you can't be at the fucking White House, Joe.
02:27:14.000 You said you were fucking politically homeless.
02:27:16.000 I am.
02:27:17.000 He joked about it.
02:27:18.000 He called me a liberal during the whole thing.
02:27:20.000 He's like, Joe, he's very liberal.
02:27:22.000 Oh, I saw another.
02:27:22.000 What?
02:27:23.000 What did he.
02:27:24.000 The other thing, the big conspiracy theory is that Trump is mad at you and he came up to the UFC and he was talking shit to you?
02:27:31.000 No, the opposite.
02:27:32.000 That video came out and it was like, look, Trump's fucking Joe Rogan getting embarrassed by Trump at the fucking UFC event.
02:27:37.000 It was literally the opposite.
02:27:39.000 I texted him on Friday about Ibogaine.
02:27:42.000 And I was telling them how there's.
02:27:45.000 That's a hallucinogen?
02:27:46.000 This is the one the vets use.
02:27:47.000 So they've had to go to Mexico to get this.
02:27:51.000 So I've had these two different podcasts with Brian Hubbard and Rick Perry.
02:27:55.000 Rick Perry was the governor of Texas.
02:27:57.000 And they talked about Ibogaine.
02:27:59.000 And Brian Hubbard was relaying his story about how Ibogaine saved him from addiction and fixed his brain.
02:28:06.000 And then they had all these other stories of all these other veterans and all these different people that had PTSD and opiate addiction.
02:28:14.000 I know a lot of people who've gone down there to do it.
02:28:17.000 First, I found out about it from my friend Ed Clay, who runs a CPI.
02:28:21.000 He's one of the guys that runs the Cellular Performance Institute in Tijuana that the UFC uses for stem cells.
02:28:26.000 He had a pill problem and he went down there and did it and then opened up his own retreat down there because it was so potent, because it worked so well.
02:28:34.000 There are so many people.
02:28:35.000 What is the compound, though?
02:28:37.000 It's called Ibogaine.
02:28:38.000 Synthetic, like acid?
02:28:39.000 No, no, no.
02:28:40.000 It's from a plant, it's from the aboga tree.
02:28:43.000 And this one thing that they do is not recreational.
02:28:48.000 It's very, it's supposed to be a horrible experience.
02:28:51.000 You shit yourself, you throw up, and you have this like very weird experience where it goes over your entire life and shows you like in every detail why you're like this and why you do this and what you're.
02:29:02.000 Sounds terrible.
02:29:03.000 It also shuts off withdrawals and addiction on a lot of people.
02:29:07.000 It's like really effective.
02:29:09.000 Really?
02:29:09.000 But for a lot of these guys with PTSD, it was the only thing that fucking helped them.
02:29:13.000 And for the longest time, they've had to go to Mexico or to other countries and it's really expensive.
02:29:18.000 So they formed the Texas Ibogaine Initiative.
02:29:23.000 And is it Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick?
02:29:26.000 Is that what his title is?
02:29:28.000 So, he dedicated $100 million to it.
02:29:31.000 And so now they're going to start doing it with people like soldiers and police officers and different people with PTSD and just people with just general depression and all sorts of addictions, not just like opiates, but alcohol, gambling, all sorts of shit.
02:29:48.000 And I told them about it.
02:29:49.000 Have you ever done it?
02:29:50.000 No.
02:29:51.000 No, but I had these guys on the podcast and I know so many people that have done it, particularly soldiers that have done it and people with opiate, like my friend Ed.
02:29:59.000 And I said, I told him about it.
02:30:01.000 I said how effective it is, and I said, you know, and it's been held up for so long.
02:30:06.000 And he said, What are you looking for?
02:30:07.000 You're looking for FDA approval?
02:30:09.000 He goes, It sounds good to me.
02:30:10.000 He said, Let's do it.
02:30:11.000 And so, literally, he sees me at the UFC the next day, shakes my hand, and says, It's done.
02:30:16.000 Wow.
02:30:17.000 That's what he was saying.
02:30:18.000 I was like, I said, Thank you, sir.
02:30:18.000 That's so funny.
02:30:20.000 It wasn't like he was mad at me at all.
02:30:21.000 People jump on these like conclusions, like, Well, that's okay.
02:30:25.000 You know, you're allowed to.
02:30:26.000 But this is the truth.
02:30:27.000 That's exactly what happened.
02:30:28.000 He came to me and he said, It's done.
02:30:29.000 We're going to take care of it.
02:30:30.000 This is a good thing.
02:30:31.000 It's a good thing for the soldiers.
02:30:32.000 It's a good thing for everybody.
02:30:34.000 And then he had the press conference the next week.
02:30:36.000 But why would anybody be?
02:30:37.000 So, like, how they just choose to be against things, even good things.
02:30:37.000 It's so funny.
02:30:41.000 Like, that's it's unquestionably a really good thing, right?
02:30:44.000 That one is a really good thing for everybody because addiction is a huge problem, and Ibogaine is one of the most effective treatments for addiction that they've ever found.
02:30:52.000 Another one that's really good for addiction is psilocybin.
02:30:55.000 They're going to study that as well and hopefully fast track that as well.
02:30:58.000 Yeah.
02:30:59.000 That's part of this bill.
02:31:00.000 This bill is all about this executive order.
02:31:03.000 This executive order is all about psychedelic treatments for people with depression.
02:31:07.000 Mental health disorders.
02:31:09.000 It's all to reclassify this stuff.
02:31:11.000 This is one of the things that I said, and this is why it was important for me to not just be there but to say this that these drugs are not illegal because they're harmful.
02:31:21.000 Alcohol is harmful, it's legal.
02:31:22.000 Oxycodone is harmful, it's legal.
02:31:25.000 They're illegal because of the 1970s Controlled Substances Act.
02:31:30.000 This is by the Nixon administration.
02:31:32.000 They wanted to silence the anti war people and the civil rights people.
02:31:35.000 That's it.
02:31:36.000 They said, What are these people doing?
02:31:37.000 Well, they're doing acid, they're taking mushrooms, they're doing this, they're doing that.
02:31:41.000 All that shit is illegal as fuck.
02:31:44.000 Make it the most illegal.
02:31:45.000 So they put it all in a schedule one.
02:31:47.000 Yeah.
02:31:48.000 Which means it has no medicinal benefit.
02:31:50.000 And I was telling them, I'm like, it has benefit.
02:31:52.000 And not only does it have benefit, it could save lives.
02:31:55.000 Yeah.
02:31:57.000 I get terrified of psychedelics at this point.
02:32:00.000 I used to love them, but I just, I mean, every time, if I take mushrooms, acid, doesn't matter what it is, there will be an hour where I'm crying, talking to God, and thinking about my mother.
02:32:12.000 Every time.
02:32:12.000 Maybe that's what you need in your life.
02:32:14.000 I don't know, dude.
02:32:14.000 Maybe.
02:32:15.000 Sometimes I can just push it down and.
02:32:17.000 I think it should be regulated in the sense that I think we should understand it better, make sure it's pure, and make sure that it's administered by people who know what they're doing.
02:32:26.000 And that's what they're doing at places like Beyond, which is in Mexico.
02:32:30.000 People are going down there and having these Ibogaine sessions.
02:32:34.000 But they're also doing it where they're strapped up to heart monitors.
02:32:37.000 They're very careful.
02:32:38.000 You can't do it if you have a bad heart because apparently it's really rough.
02:32:42.000 Apparently it's not fun at all.
02:32:44.000 Again, I haven't done it.
02:32:45.000 But the people that I know that have done it, it's rescued them.
02:32:47.000 Dude, let's microdose them, my baguette.
02:32:49.000 I don't think you can microdose.
02:32:50.000 I think you gotta go.
02:32:51.000 I think you gotta meet the devil, cocksucker.
02:32:53.000 Like Joey Diaz always says, what the fuck are you doing with that microdose?
02:32:56.000 I'm trying to meet the devil.
02:32:57.000 Yeah, when I was younger, I was like, dude, I would love to go on a peyote retreat.
02:33:01.000 But you hear the same thing.
02:33:02.000 It's like you vomit and you spend fucking.
02:33:04.000 You have to have a special shaman walk you through it and guide it, and they pat your head with a wet towel.
02:33:10.000 Peyote is mescaline.
02:33:11.000 And I had a buddy of mine who did mescaline in New York City.
02:33:14.000 He said he could hear people talking.
02:33:16.000 In another building.
02:33:18.000 He was watching them through the window.
02:33:19.000 They were far away, and he could hear them talking in his head.
02:33:23.000 I was like, what the fuck?
02:33:24.000 I bet you he couldn't hear what they were saying.
02:33:26.000 I bet you he was making up their words.
02:33:29.000 I think he tapped in.
02:33:31.000 I think he tapped in to the quantum field.
02:33:34.000 Yeah.
02:33:35.000 And he was inside their head.
02:33:37.000 Like the alien technology, just instantaneous transport.
02:33:40.000 It doesn't have to go through sound.
02:33:41.000 You can just pick up on the frequency of their thoughts.
02:33:41.000 That's it.
02:33:44.000 Yeah, all drugs would be legal.
02:33:45.000 Whatever.
02:33:46.000 It's your body.
02:33:47.000 If alcohol is legal, and I think it should be, it was one of the worst ones for you.
02:33:47.000 Exactly.
02:33:52.000 If that shit's legal, how many people every day.
02:33:55.000 The president of Columbia was like, He was like, alcohol is worse than cocaine.
02:33:58.000 It was a quote 100 plus years ago.
02:34:01.000 I didn't say that.
02:34:02.000 Oh, no, it was Hunter Biden.
02:34:03.000 It was Hunter Biden.
02:34:04.000 I think it's actually true.
02:34:05.000 Yeah.
02:34:05.000 I think it is true.
02:34:06.000 I think actual real cocaine, in terms of like the actual, like from the coca, the disco shit.
02:34:11.000 I'll tell you what's definitely better for you is coca leaves.
02:34:15.000 Those people that live in like the Alps.
02:34:16.000 Oh, and they just chew on coca leaves.
02:34:19.000 That's like in like high mountainous areas, high altitude herders.
02:34:24.000 They chew coca leaves.
02:34:25.000 Yeah.
02:34:26.000 They love that shit.
02:34:27.000 It's supposed to be really good.
02:34:27.000 I'm sure.
02:34:28.000 It's supposed to be like great coffee.
02:34:30.000 Yeah.
02:34:31.000 For real.
02:34:31.000 It's not supposed to be like drunk Coke.
02:34:33.000 It's supposed to be like you feel energized and stimulated.
02:34:37.000 And it's not bad for you, but it fucks your teeth up.
02:34:40.000 Oh, I'm sure.
02:34:41.000 You get these dudes with these rotten cocaine chew teeth.
02:34:45.000 Have you ever seen it?
02:34:46.000 Find me some Coca Leaf teeth pictures.
02:34:46.000 No, I haven't.
02:34:49.000 Yeah.
02:34:50.000 Ask perplexity about this condition and why.
02:34:52.000 Why do people get Coca Leaf tea face?
02:34:58.000 Because it does.
02:34:59.000 It rots your teeth away, it looks like.
02:35:00.000 Yeah, sure.
02:35:01.000 But that should be legal too.
02:35:02.000 Just brush your fucking teeth.
02:35:04.000 Yeah.
02:35:04.000 Maybe not, though.
02:35:05.000 Maybe it eats your teeth.
02:35:06.000 Because you got to think about if you can make cocaine out of it, what kind of acid stuff is in that leaves?
02:35:10.000 I don't know.
02:35:11.000 It is just a leaf, right?
02:35:12.000 Something else is coming up.
02:35:14.000 It's betel nuts or something.
02:35:14.000 Oh!
02:35:16.000 Oh, my God.
02:35:17.000 Betel nuts?
02:35:18.000 What is a betel nut?
02:35:21.000 So it doesn't fuck them up from coca leaves?
02:35:24.000 Oh, even better.
02:35:25.000 Bolivia legalizes chewing it.
02:35:27.000 Click on that link.
02:35:28.000 NBC News to the right of that.
02:35:30.000 Ew.
02:35:31.000 Bolivia.
02:35:31.000 Yeah.
02:35:31.000 Look at that.
02:35:32.000 Legalizes chewing and ingesting coca leaves.
02:35:35.000 Bolivia wins.
02:35:37.000 They're ahead of us.
02:35:38.000 They win.
02:35:39.000 The real problem with it is fentanyl and the fact that you have to get it from a fucking Coke dealer.
02:35:45.000 Yeah.
02:35:46.000 Those are the real problems.
02:35:47.000 Having to talk to a Coke dealer is actually the worst part of the entire process.
02:35:50.000 Pope plans to chew coca leaves during Bolivia visit.
02:35:52.000 Jesus Christ, the Pope's dead now.
02:35:54.000 They killed him because he wanted to chew the coca leaves.
02:35:56.000 That's a 2015 article.
02:36:00.000 That's wild, dude.
02:36:01.000 Because it is weird that.
02:36:02.000 I mean, is cocaine worse than alcohol?
02:36:05.000 Because if it's not, why is alcohol the one that's legal?
02:36:10.000 He says he specifically requested to chew it.
02:36:14.000 Wow.
02:36:15.000 What a freak.
02:36:16.000 Yeah.
02:36:16.000 It's a.
02:36:17.000 Donkey Trussell has a great joke about Adderall.
02:36:19.000 He goes, Adderall is like someone did cocaine and went, I can fix this.
02:36:19.000 Oh, yeah.
02:36:26.000 That's a great joke.
02:36:31.000 I think, I mean, I've never done Adderall either for the same reason that I've never done Coke.
02:36:35.000 Like, fuck.
02:36:37.000 It just seems too good.
02:36:38.000 Seems like it gets you too jazzed up.
02:36:40.000 I mean, I had like debilitating, I still have debilitating ADHD.
02:36:44.000 I haven't done Adderall in.
02:36:45.000 What does that mean, though?
02:36:49.000 So, I get anxiety if I look at my mail on my kitchen counter.
02:36:54.000 Right now, there's a pile this high of mail.
02:36:57.000 If I look at it, I feel like a.
02:36:58.000 Because you're not doing the work.
02:36:59.000 You're not going through your mail.
02:37:02.000 It's just a crippling depression, it feels like.
02:37:04.000 Like, if I do my taxes, I have a business manager that does all this shit, but when I had to do it myself, it would cripple me.
02:37:11.000 I would feel like I've had depression issues back in the day.
02:37:13.000 It felt like depression.
02:37:14.000 I feel like I want to lie down.
02:37:16.000 Literally, when I just look at the mail on my counter, they call it ADHD paralysis.
02:37:20.000 Where there's things that you don't like to do and the tedious little tasks, it feels like school work was really bad for me.
02:37:28.000 It was really, really hard.
02:37:30.000 But on the flip side, if there's something that you really love, do you have a lot of attention to it, a lot of energy?
02:37:36.000 I dive in to, like, I obsess over it.
02:37:39.000 So, like, I love the things that I do.
02:37:41.000 I love work.
02:37:42.000 Like, I really love what I do for a living.
02:37:44.000 I do a bunch of things, really.
02:37:45.000 But, like, I love work.
02:37:47.000 I love getting on business meetings.
02:37:48.000 I love taking a phone call.
02:37:49.000 I love, you know, I love writing jokes.
02:37:51.000 I love going on the road.
02:37:52.000 I like, So, the things that I love to do, I dive completely into and I just sort of.
02:37:55.000 See, that's where it's stupid to me that that's a disease.
02:37:59.000 Right.
02:37:59.000 That seems like you're allergic to boring shit.
02:38:03.000 I don't think that's a disease.
02:38:04.000 I think modern society has got people convinced that's a disease.
02:38:07.000 I think that there are, yes, I think most people don't want to fold their laundry.
02:38:12.000 I think most people don't want to do their taxes or go through their mail.
02:38:15.000 Most.
02:38:15.000 But for me, it hits me in a way where, like, I feel a physical, like, recoil.
02:38:20.000 Like, I genuinely, like.
02:38:21.000 You're allergic to boring shit.
02:38:23.000 I'm allergic to boring shit.
02:38:24.000 I don't think it's a bad thing at all.
02:38:25.000 I think they got you tricked.
02:38:27.000 They've got all of us tricked.
02:38:29.000 Everybody that I know, me included, that probably has ADHD, or if I think I can go to a doctor, they'd figure out you're going to be a doctor.
02:38:29.000 Yeah.
02:38:34.000 Would have been right.
02:38:35.000 There's something wrong with me.
02:38:36.000 Yeah.
02:38:36.000 They'd say there's something wrong with you.
02:38:37.000 You could have got on pills when you were a kid and it would have ruined all of it.
02:38:40.000 Yeah.
02:38:40.000 It would have fucked up that weird gift that you have where you can lock in.
02:38:44.000 So, what's the flip side of that weird gift?
02:38:46.000 The other thing doesn't seem important.
02:38:48.000 Other shit is boring, but you have way more energy for the thing that's exciting.
02:38:48.000 Right.
02:38:52.000 It's a great point.
02:38:53.000 It's a superpower, dude.
02:38:54.000 Yeah.
02:38:54.000 It's a great point.
02:38:55.000 And I, by the way, I've said that specifically that my ADHD is a superpower in certain regards.
02:38:59.000 The fact that I could, Get so locked in on the things that I really, really want to do.
02:39:03.000 But I've never really considered the fact that, like, it's making me avoid doing the things that just are fucking tedious, whatever.
02:39:10.000 And by the way, I figured it out.
02:39:11.000 I still went down the path.
02:39:12.000 I'm 44 years old.
02:39:14.000 I get my shit done.
02:39:15.000 I still, the laundry gets folded, the taxes get done.
02:39:17.000 It's boring.
02:39:18.000 Yeah.
02:39:18.000 Yeah.
02:39:19.000 But that's discipline.
02:39:20.000 Yeah.
02:39:21.000 That's all I was going to say.
02:39:22.000 The discipline part is like, some people can't.
02:39:25.000 Or, like, how does it get done?
02:39:25.000 Right.
02:39:27.000 I mean, I was like a really bad student.
02:39:29.000 Like, I just skin in my teeth graduated.
02:39:31.000 I understand.
02:39:33.000 But the idea that this gift that you have is what doesn't get concentrated on.
02:39:38.000 The gift is you have an extraordinary amount of energy that you can devote to something you really love.
02:39:43.000 Most people wish they had that.
02:39:45.000 That's the gift.
02:39:46.000 The flip side of it, of course, the other things aren't even remotely interesting because you need to be stimulated in order to give something all of your attention.
02:39:56.000 Some people could just drone on and drone on and they don't have ADHD.
02:40:00.000 That's not good.
02:40:00.000 That doesn't.
02:40:01.000 Yeah.
02:40:02.000 I think ADHD is a good thing.
02:40:03.000 It made growing up pretty tough.
02:40:05.000 Like, because you get called a bad kid.
02:40:11.000 I didn't get good grades.
02:40:14.000 I'm a millionaire and I had bad grades when I was 12.
02:40:18.000 You're right.
02:40:19.000 You're not wrong.
02:40:20.000 No.
02:40:20.000 You're not wrong, John.
02:40:22.000 I know I'm right.
02:40:22.000 You're right.
02:40:23.000 Let's wrap this bitch up.
02:40:23.000 All right.
02:40:25.000 I got to get out of here.
02:40:26.000 So, Gas Digital, what else tell everybody?
02:40:30.000 Skankfest.
02:40:30.000 Skankfest.
02:40:31.000 Oh, shit.
02:40:32.000 420, what a good time to sell.
02:40:35.000 Are they on sale today or tomorrow?
02:40:35.000 Is it 421?
02:40:37.000 They're on sale today.
02:40:38.000 Yes, this comes out tomorrow.
02:40:40.000 So, yesterday they went on sale.

02:40:43.000 They go fast.
02:40:44.000 So, the All Access Pass, if I had a guess, are pretty close to sold out, but you can still get single day ones.
02:40:48.000 Well, I bet the skankers already know.
02:40:49.000 What do you call your people?
02:40:50.000 Skanks.
02:40:51.000 Skanks?
02:40:52.000 The skanks already know.
02:40:53.000 Yeah, we got a big one.
02:40:54.000 That's amazing, dude.
02:40:55.000 Congratulations on all this because every comic always agrees that it is absolutely the best festival.
02:41:01.000 They fucking love it.

02:41:23.000 Thank you.
02:41:24.000 It was fun.
02:41:24.000 Thank you.
02:41:25.000 All right.
02:41:25.000 Bye, everybody.
