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

00:00:12.000 We're up.

00:00:13.000 So, the guy that did your bar, Flying Guillotine, is the same guy that did The Mothership.

00:00:20.000 Richard Weiss.

00:00:20.000 Oh, wow.

00:00:21.000 Yeah, Richard.

00:00:21.000 Yeah, Richard, the same designer, architect who did your bar.

00:00:26.000 I have a Flying Guillotine t shirt that I wear sometimes. 0.96

00:00:28.000 I was trying to find it this morning, I couldn't fucking find it. 0.93

00:00:31.000 I wore mine yesterday. 0.92

00:00:32.000 I went to the Animal Draft House and did a screening of the film, and.

00:00:36.000 I said, would it be appropriate to wear my Staten Island?

00:00:40.000 Yeah.

00:00:41.000 Draft house to them.

00:00:42.000 And the guy there, he was like, he thought he wanted to wear his, but because he stole a stack from Staten Island, but he couldn't find no more.

00:00:50.000 But the flying bulletin.

00:00:51.000 I've got it somewhere.

00:00:52.000 I've got it somewhere in my house, and I was scrambling this morning looking for it, looking for that t shirt.

00:00:57.000 Well, we got to send you some more.

00:00:57.000 I couldn't find it.

00:00:59.000 Definitely, definitely.

00:01:01.000 So it's great to see you again, man.

00:01:03.000 Back at you, man.

00:01:04.000 Back at you.

00:01:04.000 Just, it's like, I got questions for you.

00:01:07.000 What do you got?

00:01:09.000 Well, I was thinking, like, Well, remember you had this place in Woodland Hills?

00:01:14.000 That was, what, eight years now?

00:01:14.000 Yes.

00:01:17.000 We've been out here for six, six years.

00:01:18.000 So about six years now.

00:01:19.000 Yeah, you were there like eight years ago, I think.

00:01:21.000 Yeah.

00:01:22.000 And I just remember you having the hyperbolic chamber.

00:01:27.000 Hyperbaric chamber?

00:01:28.000 Yeah, the hyperbaric chamber.

00:01:29.000 Are you still doing that?

00:01:30.000 Yeah.

00:01:31.000 Was that what it was, or was it the sensory deprivation tank?

00:01:35.000 Oh, the one where you float.

00:01:36.000 Yeah.

00:01:37.000 Is that because we had that at the studio.

00:01:39.000 Okay.

00:01:40.000 We didn't have a hyperbaric at the studio.

00:01:41.000 Okay, so.

00:01:42.000 But I do have a hyperbaric.

00:01:43.000 You have that now here?

00:01:44.000 I have it at my house.

00:01:44.000 Yeah, not here.

00:01:45.000 Yeah.

00:01:46.000 I just was always impressed at just your consciousness on things that are unique, right?

00:01:54.000 And as time goes on, sometimes, you know, as we evolve, whether we evolve physically, mentally, spiritually, or economically, sometimes we leave certain things behind.

00:02:05.000 Right.

00:02:05.000 And I said, I wonder if Joe keeps moving his chi in the same direction.

00:02:12.000 So that's my question to you.

00:02:14.000 Well, sometimes it gets caught up in momentum and you got to step.

00:02:17.000 Back and just realign yourself.

00:02:20.000 That's definitely a factor.

00:02:22.000 Like, sometimes I'm too busy and I get too caught up in the momentum of things, and you kind of lose.

00:02:28.000 Like, why am I doing this?

00:02:29.000 Like, what is the process?

00:02:31.000 Like, what is the reason for doing all this?

00:02:34.000 But vacation always fixes that.

00:02:36.000 Like, take a few days off, you can go, oh, God.

00:02:40.000 Like, we can't do that.

00:02:41.000 Yeah.

00:02:42.000 I feel the same.

00:02:43.000 To be honest, I've been running around for like, I don't know, for like eight days straight.

00:02:48.000 And I like to kind of make sure I exercise, do my Tai Chi or something, or stretch my body.

00:02:54.000 But I was telling my wife last night, like, yo, I haven't worked out since we've been moving.

00:03:01.000 But I've been drinking every night.

00:03:02.000 You know what I mean?

00:03:05.000 So I'm like, I gotta.

00:03:07.000 So today, this morning, before I came here, I got up a little bit earlier and I went and stretched and got all that out.

00:03:13.000 And that's what made this question come to my head was like, I wonder, as we grow and we become more and more involved and we get in whatever it is in life that's given us, how.

00:03:23.000 We're getting these blessings, but how far do we get away from the blessings that kind of made us solid?

00:03:29.000 Yeah, I try not to get as far, I try to stay as close as possible to like centering my body.

00:03:29.000 You know what I mean?

00:03:35.000 Like, if I don't work out, just a couple days in a row, I start feeling weird, right?

00:03:40.000 Just two days, right?

00:03:41.000 Two days, I just start feeling like, yeah, crack, I feel antsy, I feel irritated.

00:03:47.000 Just, I don't think I'm thinking clear, I don't feel relaxed.

00:03:51.000 I think I'm the same.

00:03:52.000 I maybe for me, it's.

00:03:53.000 Three and a half days.

00:03:54.000 Well, what drives me nuts is like, how many people out there that's their whole life?

00:03:58.000 There's no exercise in their life.

00:03:59.000 Like, my God, you're doing yourself such a disservice.

00:04:03.000 Yeah. 0.93

00:04:04.000 You're not a.

00:04:06.000 Your mind, not just your body, but your mind needs that.

00:04:10.000 You need to blow out some steam and run the machine and stretch it out and relax it afterwards and recenter yourself.

00:04:19.000 And if you don't do that, you're going to be anxious.

00:04:22.000 There's so many people are dealing with like constant crippling anxiety all the time.

00:04:26.000 And how many of those people don't exercise?

00:04:28.000 Right.

00:04:29.000 I think that in Shaolin philosophy, we.

00:04:33.000 You know, there's Qi Gong, right?

00:04:35.000 And there's the Qi that travels through your blood.

00:04:39.000 So you got to always continue to have the blood moving because the blood is the supply you have, but the oxygen, you know, gets in and oxidates it and just keeps it flowing.

00:04:50.000 And when you do stretching or you do exercises or you build up your respiration, it actually energizes the blood, which energizes every part of your body.

00:05:00.000 That Qi travels through every vessel.

00:05:03.000 Every meridian of your body, and it actually does enhance you and re-vigorate you.

00:05:10.000 100%.

00:05:11.000 Fires up your endorphins, fires up your endocrine system, everything just feels better, and it calms you down.

00:05:11.000 Yeah.

00:05:18.000 I feel like human beings are almost like batteries.

00:05:21.000 Like you're storing energy all the time, but if you've got too much energy, it's leaking out of the battery, and you're not purging some of it.

00:05:31.000 Your body has like human requirements for movement, and if you don't Use those requirements. 0.99

00:05:38.000 If you don't meet those requirements, you're just going to feel like shit. 0.98

00:05:42.000 And I think that's a big part of what's wrong with society today. 0.99

00:05:45.000 There's just way too many people that aren't doing that.

00:05:48.000 And they're just tense.

00:05:49.000 And their tense, anxious feeling and the mental health problems that come with that, it just spills over into everything else.

00:05:57.000 Right.

00:05:58.000 I got to agree with you.

00:05:59.000 And I know that people that, like my Sifu Xi Yan Ming, who he probably works out like six times a day because he has to train, he has individual clients.

00:06:08.000 Right, right, right.

00:06:10.000 But, um, I think Sifu is maybe 10 years older than me.

00:06:16.000 Look, 10 years younger than me.

00:06:17.000 Right, of course.

00:06:18.000 Because he's just constantly moving that chi and exercising.

00:06:18.000 You know what I mean?

00:06:24.000 He still could kiss his toes in his 60s.

00:06:28.000 Wow.

00:06:29.000 Babies could do that, right?

00:06:31.000 He still could kiss his toes like a baby.

00:06:31.000 Right.

00:06:35.000 But he said something to me that I took just heed to for myself.

00:06:39.000 I said, Sifu, why do you work out?

00:06:43.000 So much, right?

00:06:44.000 He gave me two answers.

00:06:45.000 He says, one, it feels good.

00:06:48.000 It makes me feel so good.

00:06:49.000 But then the other answer he gave me was that because in Shaolin, when you get up in the morning, you have to exercise, run up a mountain, run back down the mountain, do chores and all that before you eat.

00:07:05.000 And he said, if you don't do that, you don't eat.

00:07:07.000 And so I was like, well, that sounds like something from the Bible where it says that man should work to the sweat of his brow.

00:07:14.000 You know what I mean?

00:07:15.000 And I took that philosophy.

00:07:16.000 So I don't normally eat in the morning.

00:07:19.000 I would normally get up.

00:07:21.000 I mean, I drink coffee now.

00:07:23.000 So I've been drinking coffee about 10 years, I think.

00:07:26.000 But I will have some coffee, some water, and Bamalama.

00:07:31.000 I get into my exercise routine when I'm home.

00:07:33.000 I think that's the best way to start a day.

00:07:35.000 Yeah, I do the same.

00:07:36.000 I don't work out.

00:07:37.000 I don't eat rather before I work out.

00:07:38.000 Right.

00:07:39.000 I always work out first.

00:07:40.000 So, because then the water is fresher, the food tastes better.

00:07:40.000 Right.

00:07:45.000 Yeah.

00:07:46.000 You earned it too.

00:07:47.000 Exactly.

00:07:48.000 It's just a good way to start the day too.

00:07:48.000 Yeah.

00:07:50.000 You already did the hard part.

00:07:51.000 The most difficult part of your day is done.

00:07:53.000 And then everything else.

00:07:53.000 Right.

00:07:54.000 And also, like that difficult thing makes the mental difficulty of the rest of the day work smoother.

00:08:00.000 Yeah, you ever remember that old commercial, the Army commercial?

00:08:05.000 Which one?

00:08:06.000 It was like, we do by 6 a.m.

00:08:09.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:08:10.000 Some shit like, we do before 6 a.m. what most people do all day. 0.99

00:08:14.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:08:14.000 It's like, back when you first, you know, when I saw that I was young, I was like, I don't know the fuck, they talking loud. 0.99

00:08:18.000 But as a man, I'm like, you know, that's wisdom. 0.97

00:08:21.000 Get up in the morning, get your chi going, and have a beautiful day.

00:08:25.000 There's something, too, to getting up early.

00:08:28.000 Where you force yourself to work.

00:08:30.000 You force yourself to rise. 1.00

00:08:32.000 The comfort of your bed calls you, but you go, fuck you. 1.00

00:08:34.000 You get up, you get shit done, and you're like, I already won. 1.00

00:08:37.000 I won today. 0.99

00:08:38.000 I've got a victory. 1.00

00:08:40.000 I've got a victory over my inner bitch. 0.99

00:08:42.000 You know, I got out there, I did something. 1.00

00:08:44.000 I'm laughing now because you say you told me to bed.

00:08:47.000 Yeah, that's what you have to say. 1.00

00:08:47.000 Fuck you. 1.00

00:08:49.000 You have to get up almost angry. 1.00

00:08:50.000 Fuck you. 1.00

00:08:52.000 No, you're not going to call me in there with your octopus tentacles and suck me into your depths, your depths of warmth and comfort. 1.00

00:08:59.000 No, fuck you. 1.00

00:09:00.000 Get up, get up, get going. 1.00

00:09:02.000 That's why I like to get in the cold first thing.

00:09:05.000 That's my morning routine cold plunge before I work out.

00:09:09.000 Yeah.

00:09:10.000 I can't do that.

00:09:11.000 Now, that is kind of extreme for me. 0.80

00:09:14.000 I'm not fucking with the cold like that. 0.91

00:09:17.000 You get used to it. 0.98

00:09:18.000 I'm telling you.

00:09:18.000 You get used to it.

00:09:19.000 It becomes like a normal thing.

00:09:21.000 How long do you stay in there?

00:09:22.000 Three minutes.

00:09:23.000 Wow. 1.00

00:09:24.000 It sucks. 0.99

00:09:25.000 But every time I do it, I almost don't do it. 0.99

00:09:27.000 Every time I do it, I'm almost like, don't do this.

00:09:29.000 I don't want to do this. 1.00

00:09:30.000 Fuck this. 1.00

00:09:31.000 And then I get in, like, oh, we're doing it. 1.00

00:09:31.000 Right. 1.00

00:09:33.000 We're doing it.

00:09:34.000 And then I take my phone and I set, I got a little kickstand on the back of my phone, you know?

00:09:39.000 So I put the timer on there and I look at it and it's at a minute.

00:09:43.000 So I'm like, all right, we're good.

00:09:44.000 We're past the minute.

00:09:45.000 Once you get past the minute, the minute mark is the tough part.

00:09:48.000 Once you pass the minute, it's pretty easy to get to three minutes.

00:09:50.000 You just relax.

00:09:51.000 I only did one ice bath.

00:09:55.000 And it was, they had bought this Tibetan llama to New York.

00:10:00.000 And it was me, I forgot the brother's name.

00:10:02.000 He was doing this TV show thing.

00:10:04.000 And they were trying to find out, they were scanning our brains and see what would happen if we got in the cold bath before meditating, then meditate it, and then get back in.

00:10:16.000 So, whatever, some science.

00:10:18.000 And I said, yeah, I'll do it.

00:10:19.000 I don't know why I agreed to it, but I did it. 1.00

00:10:22.000 But I got in that motherfucker, bro. 1.00

00:10:27.000 And when I got in there, I was like, this is not the shit. 1.00

00:10:31.000 I'm like, this. 0.99

00:10:32.000 And the host, he got in too.

00:10:36.000 Now, I don't know if that was his first time or not, but he was younger than me, skinnier than me, you know what I mean? 0.98

00:10:42.000 And when I couldn't take it no more, around one minute and whatever, it was past the minute mark, I got the fuck out, but he was still in there. 1.00

00:10:54.000 And I was like, I can't have this motherfucker beat me. 1.00

00:10:59.000 And yo, I got back in. 1.00

00:11:00.000 Nice.

00:11:01.000 You know what I mean?

00:11:02.000 And they got some footage of that.

00:11:04.000 I think I stayed in, I don't think it was three minutes, but I think I. Really impress myself because I'm super anti cold.

00:11:13.000 You know what I mean?

00:11:15.000 I run hot.

00:11:16.000 I stay hot.

00:11:17.000 I'm the hot part of getting, you know, when my wife is cold, she just put her hand on me and I'm the heater.

00:11:23.000 So cold is like something that.

00:11:26.000 Yeah, I don't like it.

00:11:27.000 Right.

00:11:28.000 I don't enjoy it.

00:11:29.000 But there's a little mind game that goes on. 1.00

00:11:31.000 And the mind game is almost immediately like, oh, fuck this. 1.00

00:11:35.000 Let's just get out of here. 1.00

00:11:36.000 Let's get out of here.

00:11:37.000 You got to ignore that and just concentrate on breathing.

00:11:41.000 So, what I do is I breathe to a count of 10.

00:11:45.000 So I do this one, two, three, four.

00:11:57.000 And I just concentrate on the numbers.

00:11:59.000 And then by the time I get to 10, it's basically like a minute and I'm relaxed.

00:12:04.000 And then I just settle in there.

00:12:05.000 It's just you concentrate on breathing and don't think about that party that wants to get out.

00:12:10.000 Right.

00:12:11.000 So I think I'm going to try a cold shower.

00:12:14.000 It's really good.

00:12:14.000 A cold shower in New York is great if you, like, in the winter.

00:12:18.000 Because that's real cold.

00:12:18.000 Yeah.

00:12:20.000 That's real cold.

00:12:21.000 I used to take cold showers.

00:12:23.000 My friend Bob Caffarella used to do this at our Taekwondo school. 1.00

00:12:27.000 He would take cold showers after training, and I was like, that guy is a fucking animal. 1.00

00:12:30.000 And I tried it a couple of times, but I was a bitch. 1.00

00:12:33.000 I did it like 15 seconds, and I jumped out. 0.98

00:12:35.000 But he would just stay there in the freezing cold winter cold water and just wash himself.

00:12:42.000 And I was like, this guy's an animal, man.

00:12:44.000 I think my brother Kung Lee, I haven't seen Kung Lee in years.

00:12:47.000 Kung Lee the fighter?

00:12:48.000 Yeah.

00:12:49.000 Yeah.

00:12:49.000 I remember we were, because we did a movie years ago in China, but he was the cold plunger of the crew.

00:12:57.000 Oh, yeah. 0.99

00:12:58.000 Kung, he's ahead of the curve on all that shit. 1.00

00:13:00.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:13:02.000 It's just, it's the mental thing is where it really benefits you.

00:13:06.000 And not just while you're in it, like doing it because you don't want to do it, but when you get out, you feel so good.

00:13:11.000 Your brain just is flooded with all these endorphins.

00:13:14.000 Right.

00:13:15.000 You feel so good.

00:13:16.000 And it lasts for hours and hours.

00:13:18.000 I'm going to revisit that.

00:13:22.000 I think there's like, there's numbers on the Dopamine increase, but I forget what they are off the top of my head.

00:13:28.000 But there's a giant increase in dopamine that lasts like two to three hours after you're getting out of the cold plunge.

00:13:34.000 Wow, I didn't know that.

00:13:35.000 I didn't know that.

00:13:36.000 I know you're a long time martial arts student, and I think anybody that does martial arts for a long time realizes that it is as much for your mind as it is for anything else.

00:13:47.000 Yes.

00:13:47.000 Like it's not just a workout, it's a workout, but it's also like there's something about going through the motions of martial arts and training in martial arts.

00:13:56.000 It's so.

00:13:58.000 It requires so much concentration and it requires so much of your focus that the rest of the world just kind of fades away and the impact of it is relaxed.

00:14:08.000 Right.

00:14:09.000 Because of that.

00:14:10.000 It's mental, physical, and spiritual.

00:14:12.000 Yeah.

00:14:13.000 It's emotional.

00:14:14.000 Yeah.

00:14:16.000 It's will.

00:14:17.000 You know, there's an esoteric thing, you know, seven planes of energies or five stages of consciousness.

00:14:24.000 I don't know if you ever came across these types of terms, but you probably have.

00:14:28.000 But sometimes we get stuck on a.

00:14:31.000 On just the three dimensions, you know what I mean?

00:14:34.000 Just three planes, you know?

00:14:36.000 And you don't get to the emotional, you don't get to the will part of it, you don't get to the realization, the control, right?

00:14:43.000 If you could get to realization, then you can control what's going on because you realize what it is.

00:14:51.000 It's almost like you can now have the foresight of what it is.

00:14:55.000 And then if you could get to that type of plane of energy, then the possibilities become infinite because you realize that you.

00:15:05.000 Like, as they say, we all have a free will, right?

00:15:09.000 But then you realize that the will can be controlled, right?

00:15:13.000 You also realize that with a strong will, you can control others as well.

00:15:17.000 Because some people are walking around with weak wills.

00:15:17.000 Yeah.

00:15:21.000 That's how you start a cult.

00:15:25.000 Oh, by having the strongest will.

00:15:28.000 You, come here.

00:15:30.000 Yeah, hold on.

00:15:30.000 You made me.

00:15:31.000 I have a. 0.99

00:15:33.000 I do have a film and shit, right? 0.99

00:15:36.000 Called One Spoon of Chocolate. 0.99

00:15:38.000 And I watched half of it.

00:15:40.000 I had a problem.

00:15:41.000 There was a problem with the early screener.

00:15:44.000 I was mirroring it on my television and it kept breaking up. 0.77

00:15:48.000 It kept fucking up where the sound would cut in and cut out.

00:15:51.000 And I did it a couple of times and then the screener ran out because I guess you're only watching a few times.

00:15:57.000 So then I had to contact your people and then they gave me another one.

00:16:00.000 But then they gave me one on Vimeo and I watched that in the gym today.

00:16:04.000 So I watched the first half of the movie and I'm going to watch the second half.

00:16:06.000 Well, good.

00:16:07.000 Take your time.

00:16:08.000 It's a crazy one.

00:16:10.000 It's a fun watch.

00:16:10.000 It's a lot of ways.

00:16:12.000 And you did it with Tarantino.

00:16:13.000 Yes, yes, yes.

00:16:14.000 And it seems like.

00:16:16.000 Yeah, it's got a Terracino flavor to it.

00:16:18.000 But I brought it up just to say that there's a character who actually takes ice plunges, right?

00:16:24.000 Yes.

00:16:26.000 The bad guy.

00:16:27.000 Yeah, the villain.

00:16:28.000 So he's talking about cults and things.

00:16:30.000 In a way, there's a scene where when we introduce him, you could tell that everybody else there are bending to his will, right?

00:16:41.000 He shows them how to do this and you do this and you do that. 0.99

00:16:46.000 I guess the weak will guy, and he's like, and that's why Jimmy's the fucking king, man. 0.99

00:16:53.000 I laughed at that. 0.99

00:16:55.000 Exactly, exactly.

00:16:57.000 So that's the point I'm making is that so will can control, you know what I mean?

00:17:03.000 But if you realize yourself and have that self realization, self actualization, you gain control over yourself, you know what I mean?

00:17:11.000 And control your planes of energy.

00:17:12.000 So we're talking about martial arts, and martial arts help you achieve that goal.

00:17:17.000 Yeah, my instructor used to say, That martial arts are a vehicle for developing your human potential.

00:17:24.000 I like that.

00:17:25.000 It's so difficult that in learning how to get, I don't like the term mastery because I don't think you ever really master martial arts, but in learning martial arts, the difficulty that's involved in that, it expands your potential in everything that you do.

00:17:40.000 I agree.

00:17:41.000 And for me, I actually, you know, I always tell people on a physical level, I don't know if I'm good or not, to be honest.

00:17:49.000 You know what I mean? 0.98

00:17:50.000 It took up some hunger and shalin, of course. 0.98

00:17:54.000 A little bit of Wing Chun here and there.

00:17:56.000 But I don't claim to be like a martial art fighter.

00:18:01.000 But I will claim to be a martial artist because of the mind, because the way I think, because the way it allowed me to think.

00:18:08.000 You know, it's like I have probably 20 books on Tai Chi and I read them.

00:18:14.000 And so I understand it, the application of it.

00:18:18.000 Like there's a meditation called the Eight Pieces of Brocade.

00:18:20.000 You ever come across that one?

00:18:21.000 No.

00:18:22.000 So.

00:18:24.000 What's the word brocade?

00:18:25.000 Yeah, brocade meaning blockage.

00:18:27.000 Oh, okay.

00:18:28.000 So it's eight ways to unblock yourself.

00:18:31.000 Like to unblock your chi.

00:18:34.000 One of the first ones, of course, you sit in Lotus and you just take your thumbs and you bang on the back of your, basically your medulla obglanta.

00:18:41.000 Like even if you could touch this real quick, if you don't mind.

00:18:44.000 Back of your head?

00:18:44.000 Yeah, right here.

00:18:46.000 Okay.

00:18:47.000 You see how loud that is?

00:18:48.000 Yeah.

00:18:49.000 Right?

00:18:50.000 So you cover your ears and you bang on those drums first thing in the morning.

00:18:54.000 Ooh.

00:18:54.000 And it, exactly, and it opens up some of your chakras.

00:18:57.000 Ooh. 0.97

00:18:59.000 So.

00:19:00.000 That feels weird.

00:19:04.000 Because it's loud.

00:19:05.000 It's as loud as it could be, right?

00:19:07.000 Yeah.

00:19:08.000 My point being made by studying all these different books is like the physical part, of course, is exciting, but to me, the mental part became more exciting.

00:19:18.000 The more that I can apply, therefore, I can apply it to my music, I can apply it to business, I can apply it to how to be a better father and all those things versus me just punching and trying to break a break.

00:19:32.000 Right, right, right.

00:19:32.000 You know what I mean?

00:19:34.000 Yeah, there's, I mean, that's Tai Chi, right?

00:19:36.000 It's all mental.

00:19:37.000 The Tai Chi is a martial arts sort of.

00:19:39.000 I mean, I guess you would learn how to move your body better.

00:19:42.000 That could kind of help you applied in a self defense situation.

00:19:46.000 But it's much more of a mental martial art.

00:19:49.000 And I used to, when I lived in San Francisco, I used to watch people in the park.

00:19:52.000 These old Chinese people would go out there and practice Tai Chi.

00:19:55.000 I was like, what are they doing? 1.00

00:19:57.000 I was a kid.

00:19:58.000 I was eight. 0.99

00:19:59.000 I was dumb. 0.81

00:20:00.000 I was like, what is the purpose of doing this all day? 0.96

00:20:03.000 Right.

00:20:04.000 And then once you do it a few times, you're like, oh, this is not easy to do.

00:20:07.000 Right.

00:20:08.000 And then in doing that, it cleans your mind of everything else that's going on.

00:20:12.000 Because all you're concentrating on is these movements, these very difficult movements. 0.97

00:20:16.000 They're not stupid.

00:20:17.000 Like, they've been doing this for thousands of years for a reason, because it helps them.

00:20:22.000 Well, the crazy thing about Tai Chi, I'll give you a little information about it that you may or may not know, but the idea with Tai Chi is that if you master it or you have that control over it, you should be able to move 1,000 pounds with just four ounces of energy.

00:20:40.000 So, the idea of them pushing constantly means if something ever came to them, They push that aside without even thinking about it.

00:20:49.000 Because just four ounces of energy can divert.

00:20:52.000 It's almost like tripping a giant.

00:20:55.000 I think it's great on paper.

00:20:57.000 An actual giant.

00:21:00.000 I don't care how much Tai Chi you know.

00:21:02.000 A dude is like a 300 pound All American wrestler.

00:21:05.000 You ain't going to use four ounces of energy and divert him.

00:21:05.000 He comes charging at you.

00:21:08.000 Well, I'm going to argue that.

00:21:10.000 The four ounces you use is just step to the side.

00:21:13.000 Yeah, everybody here says that step to the side.

00:21:15.000 It ain't easy to do it.

00:21:16.000 It doesn't work.

00:21:17.000 They grab you.

00:21:19.000 Right.

00:21:19.000 You're not getting up.

00:21:21.000 But then another.

00:21:23.000 Well, I mean, a fight is a fight.

00:21:25.000 That's a difference between a martial art and a fight, right?

00:21:28.000 Well, it's also just the reality of physics.

00:21:30.000 You know, I mean, it's one thing if you're doing that to an unskilled person, but to a skilled person, really, you need to know the skill that they're applying.

00:21:30.000 Right.

00:21:41.000 Like, you know what I mean?

00:21:42.000 Like, that's the difference between someone who is practicing something that is great in theory, but I mean, it's not just.

00:21:51.000 In theory, like physically and mentally, it's great for you, but it's just not the right application in terms of actual hand to hand combat.

00:21:59.000 Yeah, I mean, a fight is a fight.

00:22:01.000 I don't care, I mean, in my opinion, a fight is a fight. 0.59

00:22:06.000 I don't care which, I don't care, you know, if you're the best boxer in the world that knocked motherfuckers out, like one of our greatest fighters, Mike Tyson, who wasn't just that he was a fighter, he was a fighter. 0.90

00:22:22.000 Right? 0.93

00:22:23.000 Of course, he had a skill set and he was well trained.

00:22:27.000 But in the peak of his fights, I don't care how much somebody else trained, when he got in the ring to fight, they weren't better fighters.

00:22:38.000 They could have been better boxers, better athletes, better whatever.

00:22:41.000 So I think a fight, and this is my opinion, it's an instinct.

00:22:46.000 It's a, you know, like when Mike bit his ear, right?

00:22:52.000 Right.

00:22:53.000 That's a fight.

00:22:54.000 That has nothing to do with boxing.

00:22:57.000 I think that was frustration, you know, unfortunately.

00:23:01.000 You know, that was a Vander was beating him up.

00:23:04.000 Yeah.

00:23:05.000 I don't think he liked it. 1.00

00:23:06.000 A Vander was beating him up professionally, skillfully in boxing. 0.99

00:23:12.000 But then Mike went to fighting.

00:23:13.000 Yeah.

00:23:14.000 And fighting, like in MMA, you can't bite in MMA.

00:23:17.000 You can't bite in no sport, right?

00:23:19.000 Yeah.

00:23:20.000 You ain't supposed to hit the nuts, right?

00:23:22.000 You ain't supposed to.

00:23:23.000 I know, which is crazy because.

00:23:25.000 In a fight, the nuts are one of the best spots to hit.

00:23:28.000 Exactly.

00:23:29.000 In the eyes, you ain't supposed to poke the eyes.

00:23:32.000 My friend Eddie had an idea for a comedy sketch called Ultimate Sack Fighting, where it's just dudes are just the nuts of the only target.

00:23:43.000 It's amazing how vulnerable we really are. 0.97

00:23:46.000 Our balls just sitting on the outside like that. 0.94

00:23:48.000 Yeah, fights you poke in the eye. 0.95

00:23:50.000 I mean, you poke in the eye in an MMA fight, the referee stops the time, and you get a point deducted.

00:23:54.000 But it's a very good technique in an actual fight.

00:23:57.000 Yeah, well, that's what I meant by saying, like, so you could train and train and train.

00:24:03.000 But when you are, when it's life against life, a life of death, it's a whole nother chamber of fighting for survival.

00:24:11.000 There's some horrible videos of no rules fights.

00:24:11.000 You know what I mean?

00:24:14.000 They have these no rules fights in Russia and a bunch of other places.

00:24:17.000 But they do them outside in a field, and these guys fight, and this wrestler gets this guy down, and he just shoves his thumbs and his eyeballs.

00:24:25.000 He gets on top of them, and he just grabs his face and shoves it, and the guy's just screaming.

00:24:29.000 He's trying to move his head away, and he taps his blood all over his eyeballs.

00:24:33.000 Party over.

00:24:34.000 Party's over.

00:24:35.000 You realize, like, how devastating that is.

00:24:35.000 Yeah.

00:24:37.000 Like, the pain and the just the.

00:24:40.000 And you know what's so crazy?

00:24:41.000 The person who did it, like, maybe the guy who got the chance to do it, it's not easy.

00:24:48.000 And tell me if you agree with this, you could disagree, but it's not easy to do that either.

00:24:53.000 I don't mean not easy that you can't do it.

00:24:53.000 No.

00:24:56.000 It's not easy for your spirit to do it.

00:24:58.000 Right.

00:24:59.000 You see what I mean?

00:24:59.000 It's evil.

00:25:00.000 And so that's a whole nother chamber.

00:25:00.000 Yeah.

00:25:03.000 It's like, yo, will you.

00:25:06.000 Do it.

00:25:06.000 Will you blind a man?

00:25:07.000 Yeah, will you do it, right?

00:25:09.000 And it's like, maybe you won't.

00:25:11.000 But if he will and you won't.

00:25:13.000 Right.

00:25:14.000 Yeah.

00:25:15.000 That's it.

00:25:15.000 Yeah.

00:25:16.000 That's what I. That's when my seafood says that about.

00:25:20.000 Because he doesn't train nobody how to fight.

00:25:21.000 He said, I can't teach nobody how to fight.

00:25:24.000 You know what I mean?

00:25:25.000 I could teach you how to build your body, how to build your chi, how to build some strength.

00:25:28.000 But a fight, bro, it's different.

00:25:33.000 There's no rules.

00:25:34.000 It's life and death.

00:25:34.000 It's like, and your will, going back to the will we talked about, your willpower.

00:25:40.000 Has better be strong to survive.

00:25:43.000 I love what Bruce Lee said.

00:25:45.000 He practiced the art of not fighting.

00:25:48.000 So, and I told that to my son.

00:25:48.000 You know what I mean?

00:25:50.000 I was like, yo, bro, listen, if you could run, bro, run.

00:25:53.000 Yeah.

00:25:54.000 I mean, be up out of there. 1.00

00:25:56.000 And motherfucker chase you. 1.00

00:25:58.000 You know, you got to think on something. 1.00

00:26:00.000 But if you could just, yo, that's right now, yo, real, you want to fight?

00:26:04.000 Oh, yo, you know what, Joe?

00:26:06.000 I'll see you later, bro.

00:26:08.000 You know what I mean?

00:26:09.000 I know there's too many people that get into fights for no reason and you wind up changing the rest of your life.

00:26:14.000 You got a scar that's going to be with you forever, or you accidentally kill somebody. 1.00

00:26:18.000 It's stupid. 1.00

00:26:19.000 It's a stupid thing to do. 1.00

00:26:20.000 And there's so many men that feel like they just have to prove themselves, which is what a gym is for. 1.00

00:26:25.000 Go to the gym.

00:26:26.000 Go to the gym.

00:26:27.000 Work out with other fighters.

00:26:29.000 Train.

00:26:30.000 Get beat up.

00:26:31.000 Realize where you're at.

00:26:33.000 Get a realistic sense of your actual ability and then improve upon them.

00:26:37.000 But don't go getting in street fights.

00:26:38.000 Please, God.

00:26:39.000 Don't do it.

00:26:40.000 Don't do it.

00:26:41.000 And for me, I put all my aggression and all my energy into my art. 0.92

00:26:47.000 You know, you think about some of my early songs, you know, Wayne the Motherfucking Rockets, bro.

00:26:53.000 That was like, I used to have a problem of, I don't know if it was anger management, maybe. 0.80

00:27:03.000 But I would just like, I don't know, like I needed to hear the sound of breaking glass.

00:27:08.000 I used to scream.

00:27:09.000 Like, Jizzle was like, yo, this dude.

00:27:11.000 Like, because I was, and I realized that I had so much anger in me that.

00:27:18.000 You know, I couldn't really get it out. 0.68

00:27:20.000 I was kind of hulkish in a way, like Bruce Banner or some shit, right?

00:27:25.000 But then through music, it started to come out, and it started to come out. 0.72

00:27:29.000 And by the time I got to Wu Tang Forever, a lot of my anger was in the song.

00:27:39.000 If you want beef, then bring the rockets.

00:27:41.000 And like all that stage and all that energy.

00:27:44.000 So it really helped me.

00:27:45.000 And then I realized, going to bring it up today to my new film, I'm watching it and I'm just like, okay, once again, I took all the anger and I put it into the art.

00:27:58.000 You know what I mean?

00:27:59.000 There's actually a character in the film.

00:28:03.000 His name is Unique.

00:28:06.000 Did you catch that when you saw the piece?

00:28:08.000 Unique is the name of Old Dirty Bastard.

00:28:11.000 His original name was A Son Unique.

00:28:14.000 And so that was my way of giving homage to him by naming the lead character of my new film, Unique.

00:28:25.000 And it says in the film, he says, You got a problem with anger management.

00:28:30.000 He says, Yeah, I'm working on that.

00:28:34.000 And what I love about the art of it is that.

00:28:38.000 The problem that he had with anger management was his reaction.

00:28:43.000 Like a lot of us, we just react too much.

00:28:44.000 We react before we think, right?

00:28:48.000 Because they say a man could think seven times before he reacts.

00:28:52.000 That's how fast your mind can move, but we go on that first impulse.

00:28:55.000 But this character, he keeps, he holds the anger until one morning he's at a veteran home, right?

00:29:05.000 And he's sitting there and he's having breakfast and he has this can.

00:29:08.000 Right?

00:29:09.000 You see this thing, right? 0.99

00:29:10.000 And he's like, he digs the spoon in there, and it's like, fucking, there's nothing in it. 0.98

00:29:14.000 Like, it's not even, it's like one spoon of chocolate in it. 0.98

00:29:17.000 And he gets what?

00:29:18.000 And he bangs it.

00:29:18.000 Angry.

00:29:19.000 Boom! 0.99

00:29:20.000 Who the fuck left one spoon of chocolate in the can? 0.99

00:29:22.000 But then it took an old man that was settled to tell him, one spoon of chocolate. 1.00

00:29:29.000 Change a whole glass of milk. 0.99

00:29:30.000 Change the whole glass of milk.

00:29:32.000 And then you notice that character from that.

00:29:34.000 Then he calmed down.

00:29:35.000 He started reading to the kids.

00:29:36.000 Yeah.

00:29:37.000 So, and that was kind of me taking.

00:29:40.000 Some of my personality, some of old Dirty's personality, some of personalities that I see in my community and putting it into this character, just say, like, yo, sometimes, yo, calm down, listen to the wisdom of your elders, right?

00:29:54.000 Have you ever, in your life, I'm gonna ask you, have you ever, like, come across some old person, whether it's a homeless guy, a devil, a guy, your uncle, somebody, that you kind of didn't look up to in no way, just kind of they was, but then they say something to you that's profound and changed your life?

00:30:14.000 Oh, man.

00:30:15.000 I try to find an example.

00:30:17.000 I mean, I've definitely gotten a lot of advice from old timers, but definitely people, especially people that have done a lot of things.

00:30:26.000 You know, people that have accomplished things and made mistakes and recovered from their mistakes.

00:30:31.000 Yeah.

00:30:31.000 Right.

00:30:32.000 I mean, I asked because I was maybe 11, and there was a dope fiend that was dating my aunt, and he was at the table and shit. 0.87

00:30:46.000 And he was like nodding, but he was just, he was kind of in his, in a chamber, bro. 0.94

00:30:50.000 You know, you know, kids, I mean, looking at, looking at this guy and shit. 0.97

00:30:54.000 And he said, says something about like, you know, I don't care, man. 0.98

00:30:58.000 You got to get knowledge, man.

00:31:00.000 You got to get knowledge, man.

00:31:02.000 The gods is right, man.

00:31:03.000 You got to get knowledge.

00:31:06.000 I started reading it since that day, bro.

00:31:08.000 Really?

00:31:09.000 Seriously.

00:31:10.000 The dope fiend.

00:31:11.000 Yeah.

00:31:12.000 Inspired you to read.

00:31:13.000 Yeah.

00:31:14.000 He said, because he said, you got to get, what happened was he had knowledge of self, I guess, back before the drugs hit him.

00:31:20.000 And now he's like, there.

00:31:21.000 And he was like, he was just saying, you got to get knowledge.

00:31:24.000 The gods are right.

00:31:26.000 And so.

00:31:27.000 What was he on?

00:31:27.000 What was the drug of choice?

00:31:29.000 He was on fucking, he shot that shit up. 1.00

00:31:32.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:31:32.000 Heroin? 1.00

00:31:33.000 That's the old days back when they shoot it.

00:31:33.000 He was on heroin.

00:31:35.000 Now everybody's on pills.

00:31:38.000 Right.

00:31:38.000 Yeah.

00:31:39.000 I never, I never, I don't know about that.

00:31:40.000 I don't know about it either, but I mean, I don't know about it personally, but that's essentially what oxycodone is.

00:31:46.000 All those pain pills that you see all these people dying of.

00:31:49.000 Yeah.

00:31:49.000 Opioids.

00:31:49.000 Right.

00:31:50.000 Yeah.

00:31:50.000 Opioids.

00:31:51.000 The number one problem, I mean, I think the deaths in America, it's upwards of 70,000 a year.

00:31:59.000 I know it's crazy.

00:32:00.000 That's crazy.

00:32:02.000 Yeah.

00:32:02.000 Just from overdosing on pills.

00:32:04.000 Yeah, and most of it happened because of the Sackler family.

00:32:07.000 The what?

00:32:08.000 The Sackler family.

00:32:09.000 This one family that convinced people that taking these incredibly potent opioids.

00:32:16.000 Did you ever see that Netflix docuseries, Painkiller?

00:32:20.000 I didn't see that one.

00:32:21.000 It's really good.

00:32:22.000 It's all about the Sackler family.

00:32:24.000 Peter Berg made it.

00:32:26.000 Same guy.

00:32:27.000 I know Peter, yeah.

00:32:27.000 You know Peter?

00:32:28.000 He's great.

00:32:28.000 He's great, yeah.

00:32:29.000 Lone Survivor.

00:32:30.000 He made a bunch of excellent movies.

00:32:32.000 He's great.

00:32:33.000 He made this documentary on documenting how well, it's not a documentary, a docudrama series or recreation showing how this one family they wanted to figure out a way where they could sell opioids to everyone.

00:32:49.000 And the way they did it was like giving people pain management tools, giving people medication that you could be on forever.

00:32:57.000 And they made it and they pushed it through these different doctors, and they had all these. 0.85

00:33:03.000 Hot ladies who were representatives of the pharmaceutical drug companies that come to the doctor and they were the reps that would come and sell the things. 0.98

00:33:11.000 Yeah, I mean, really. 0.98

00:33:12.000 And they were all financially incentivized to sell it and they tried to pretend that it wasn't addictive and they lied about that and they got who knows how many thousands and thousands and thousands of people ruined their lives because of it.

00:33:25.000 And like I said, 70,000 die every year just in America just from opioids.

00:33:31.000 That's crazy, bro.

00:33:32.000 From overdoses.

00:33:33.000 I mean, and how many more would there be of that if it wasn't for Narcan?

00:33:38.000 That's the counter, right?

00:33:39.000 Yeah, that's the stuff that the EMTs give you.

00:33:41.000 If they find you overdosing, they give you Narcan and it kills it and brings you back to life.

00:33:45.000 And that one family, you know, no one's gone to jail.

00:33:50.000 No one's gone to jail.

00:33:52.000 I mean, I don't even know how much they've been fined.

00:33:55.000 But if it wasn't for what they did, and again, well documented in that Netflix series, it's horrific, man.

00:34:03.000 It's really terrifying because it's not just the people that died and the people that are addicted, it's all the Family members that were affected by them, all the children of those people, and what happened with their lives, all the spouses and the brothers and sisters of those people, and what happened with their lives.

00:34:18.000 When you were saying that, the imagery in my head was that scene in American Gangster when it was like Thanksgiving, and they showed Frank Lucas at the table with his whole family.

00:34:18.000 That's crazy.

00:34:32.000 They had a nice spread of food, and then the camera went and showed all the families.

00:34:38.000 That was hooked on the blue magic drug.

00:34:41.000 They had like the lady dying over here, the kid looking at her mother dead.

00:34:47.000 So, the difference, I guess, that's the image that came to my head when you said that, but I guess the difference is in that particular case, somebody goes to jail and pays the price for the crime.

00:34:59.000 But in this particular case, you're saying that nobody.

00:35:02.000 Nobody went to jail.

00:35:03.000 They did it legally, somehow or another.

00:35:06.000 They pimped it out and then sold it to everybody legally.

00:35:09.000 I mean, it's sick. 0.99

00:35:11.000 They're the biggest drug dealers that have ever existed. 1.00

00:35:13.000 Fuck all these street drug dealers. 1.00

00:35:15.000 I mean, these guys killed 70,000 people a year for who knows how many years. 1.00

00:35:20.000 And it was probably more than that before they figured out Narcan.

00:35:23.000 And part of it is also because people get addicted to it and then they get stuff from the cartel that has fentanyl in it and that's why they're dying.

00:35:30.000 But there's a bunch of people that just died from straight up overdose of opioids, too.

00:35:34.000 It's terrifying.

00:35:36.000 And it's over the counter?

00:35:37.000 Yeah.

00:35:39.000 No, it's not over the counter.

00:35:40.000 You have to get prescribed, but doctors are happy to prescribe it for you.

00:35:43.000 I got my nose fixed.

00:35:44.000 I had a deviated septum and they cleaned it out.

00:35:47.000 And I was leaving the doctor's office and he gave me two prescriptions for opioids.

00:35:53.000 And I said, But I'm not in pain.

00:35:57.000 He goes, but you probably will be.

00:35:59.000 And I go, but is it going to be worse than this right now?

00:36:01.000 Like, we're just out of the operation.

00:36:02.000 My nose was, I have like these things stuffed up your nose to keep your nostrils open.

00:36:08.000 And I was like, are you sure it's going to be worse than this?

00:36:11.000 And he gave me two prescriptions.

00:36:13.000 And I went home and I was like, I don't need these.

00:36:16.000 Like, I didn't fill them, but I'm like, this is not.

00:36:20.000 But this guy was giving me two different opioids to take.

00:36:24.000 You would have been, he would have had, you would have gone back.

00:36:27.000 I probably would have been hooked.

00:36:28.000 Yeah, you would have been back.

00:36:29.000 I know a lot of people that got hooked, man.

00:36:31.000 I'm not, I'm under no illusion that I'm stronger than those people, that I would have figured out a way to not get hooked.

00:36:37.000 So many people that I know got hooked.

00:36:37.000 Right.

00:36:39.000 So you're saying, like, let me just go back on this because I actually don't take nothing, bro.

00:36:44.000 Like, I drink tea or, you know, I'm very, I mean, I do pump an asthma inhaler.

00:36:51.000 Do you?

00:36:52.000 Yeah, when I get it because I had asthma since.

00:36:54.000 Yeah, I had asthma my whole life.

00:36:56.000 Other than that, I don't really take no Tylenol or nothing, bro.

00:37:00.000 Right. 1.00

00:37:00.000 Yeah, fuck all that stuff. 1.00

00:37:01.000 But, You're saying, though, at the end of the day, just taking, doing this back at you, the doctor basically gave you some free shit to kind of have you as a customer. 1.00

00:37:14.000 Because when crack came out, I was like, I think he's financially incentivized. 0.95

00:37:17.000 That's what I mean.

00:37:18.000 I think they're financially incentivized to prescribe you this medic.

00:37:20.000 Because he didn't say, if you're in pain, contact me and I'll fill you a prescription.

00:37:25.000 Because it's just my nose, man.

00:37:27.000 It's just the nose.

00:37:28.000 It's not that big a deal.

00:37:30.000 Like, I slept fine, it was nothing.

00:37:32.000 That's crazy.

00:37:33.000 And I try to tell him, I'm like, I don't understand why you're giving me that.

00:37:36.000 We had a conversation.

00:37:37.000 I go, is it going to be worse than it is right now?

00:37:40.000 Like, right now, I'm not in any pain.

00:37:42.000 He goes, it could probably get worse.

00:37:44.000 I'm like, how much worse?

00:37:45.000 Because right now, I don't feel anything.

00:37:46.000 It's like nothing.

00:37:47.000 It's like mildly uncomfortable because I have these tubes stuffed up my nose.

00:37:51.000 Right.

00:37:51.000 But this is not, this doesn't require heroin.

00:37:54.000 This is crazy.

00:37:56.000 I'm not laughing at you, bro.

00:37:57.000 I'm not laughing.

00:37:58.000 But it is kind of nuts.

00:37:58.000 I'm just.

00:38:00.000 It's kind of financially incentivized.

00:38:02.000 Yeah.

00:38:03.000 Let me go back to the film.

00:38:06.000 No, because in the film, there's an article that our hero opens up in the paper.

00:38:15.000 And it's not the same subject, but it's a medical thing.

00:38:19.000 And it's just like this particular county is leading in this particular process because there's money in it.

00:38:28.000 If it's money, sadly.

00:38:31.000 You know, and that's a movie, but sadly, if there's money involved.

00:38:31.000 Yeah.

00:38:37.000 People can become insidious, right?

00:38:39.000 Yeah.

00:38:40.000 People can become like, yeah, you could get strung out.

00:38:44.000 You could get strung out.

00:38:46.000 I done sold, you know, I wrote 20 prescriptions this week, and they're not cheap, right?

00:38:52.000 How much is the prescription when you fill it?

00:38:54.000 Is that like 40 bucks, 100 bucks?

00:38:56.000 I don't know.

00:38:56.000 It's not cheap.

00:38:57.000 But more importantly, the doctor gets incentivized. 0.98

00:39:01.000 When I hear some dark shit, I was reading about this doctor that was an oncologist, so he's dealing with cancer patients, and he was giving chemotherapy to people that didn't have cancer because it would. 0.98

00:39:12.000 Get him more money. 0.99

00:39:13.000 You kind of fucked me up with that. 0.99

00:39:15.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:39:16.000 Then you kind of hit my emotion because I just lost my brother to cancer, my brother power.

00:39:22.000 Yeah.

00:39:23.000 I'm sorry to hear that.

00:39:25.000 I'm sorry to hear that.

00:39:28.000 Yeah, it's one of the most profitable medications, unfortunately, for physicians.

00:39:32.000 Well, not unfortunately.

00:39:34.000 Look, if it saves your life, that's wonderful.

00:39:36.000 But the reality is, this one doctor that I'm discussing decided that he was going to get paid more by just giving chemotherapy to people that didn't have cancer.

00:39:47.000 So he diagnosed a bunch of people with cancer that didn't have it.

00:39:51.000 He said, oh, unfortunately, you have cancer.

00:39:52.000 The good news is.

00:39:53.000 We get you on chemotherapy right away.

00:39:55.000 We think we can kick it. 1.00

00:39:56.000 And they were regular people with nothing wrong with them, and this fucking guy gave them poison. 1.00

00:40:01.000 You know how much the chemo costs? 1.00

00:40:03.000 It's very expensive.

00:40:04.000 Yeah, you're talking about 30 to 60 grand a hit.

00:40:08.000 Yeah, I'm not surprised.

00:40:10.000 And the doctors profit off of that.

00:40:13.000 It's one of the most profitable medications the doctors prescribe, unfortunately. 0.99

00:40:16.000 That's kind of fucked up. 0.99

00:40:17.000 And look, most doctors would never fucking imagine doing that in a million years. 0.99

00:40:21.000 But this one doctor, his thought process was hey, this is how I get paid. 0.99

00:40:27.000 You know, I'm dealing with all this overhead.

00:40:29.000 I'm dealing with all this liability insurance.

00:40:31.000 I'm dealing with medical school bills.

00:40:34.000 I'm dealing with all this.

00:40:35.000 I'm just going to start prescribing a little bit of chemotherapy here and there to people that don't actually have cancer. 1.00

00:40:35.000 Fuck this. 1.00

00:40:41.000 And I don't know how he got caught. 1.00

00:40:43.000 I don't know what happened, but I think it was just.

00:40:45.000 There was some red flag.

00:40:45.000 They got him, though.

00:40:46.000 Yeah, they got him.

00:40:47.000 He's in jail.

00:40:48.000 There was some red flag where they noticed, like, why are so many people getting cancer with this one doctor?

00:40:54.000 Like, why is his number so high?

00:40:55.000 It doesn't, it's not representative of the percentage that, yeah.

00:40:59.000 Right.

00:41:00.000 Yeah.

00:41:00.000 That's crazy, bro.

00:41:02.000 But that's what's hard to imagine is that money would incentivize someone to tell a person.

00:41:09.000 Like, how many people just commit suicide because they think they're dying of cancer? 0.99

00:41:13.000 And they go, fuck, I don't want to do this. 0.99

00:41:15.000 I don't want to suffer. 1.00

00:41:16.000 I'm just going to fucking go out on my own terms, you know? 0.97

00:41:19.000 Yeah, well. 0.94

00:41:21.000 How many people's lives did that ruin?

00:41:23.000 Well, I don't.

00:41:24.000 Well, that's what's what I was trying to do.

00:41:27.000 I had to kind of emotionally rebound from that because it's just.

00:41:30.000 You kind of made me think, like, yeah, I don't know, like, you know. 0.99

00:41:34.000 We don't have the answer to shit, you know what I mean? 0.99

00:41:36.000 And things happen in life, and sometimes you just like, you know. 0.97

00:41:40.000 But I do have instinct, and I always, you know, I just felt that something wasn't, I don't know, I won't even go there.

00:41:48.000 But you said that money, why would he do it for the money?

00:41:53.000 It's like, yo, everything is for the money, bro. 0.99

00:41:55.000 Motherfuckers is doing, you know, cash rules everything around me, bro. 1.00

00:42:01.000 You know what I mean? 1.00

00:42:02.000 The money, dollar bills.

00:42:03.000 And people were stuck on that, you know what I mean?

00:42:06.000 The goal, hopefully, because we live in a capitalist society, but the goal should be that cash doesn't rule you.

00:42:12.000 Money shouldn't rule you.

00:42:14.000 We need it.

00:42:15.000 You know what I mean?

00:42:16.000 Food, clothing, and shelter.

00:42:18.000 You're going to need that.

00:42:19.000 There ain't nothing given here.

00:42:21.000 But it doesn't surprise me that that's the motivation for insidious behavior.

00:42:31.000 I'm going to go back a little history here.

00:42:36.000 We're working on another project.

00:42:38.000 When we tap into it, it's kind of fantasy.

00:42:42.000 I just write off my imagination.

00:42:45.000 But I had this family, their ancestors are from Congo.

00:42:54.000 And in the Congo, they trace their ancestry back to the Leopold days. 0.99

00:42:59.000 And you think about the Leopold days, millions of Africans were mined, chopped off their arms and shit. 0.98

00:43:09.000 All because the gag was they wanted them to work and to get the rubber from the rubber tree. 0.98

00:43:16.000 So the rubber at one point became the main gold of the world, right? 0.99

00:43:22.000 And King Leopold went over to Congo, and you get Tarzan out of this shit. 0.99

00:43:26.000 That's the fictional story. 0.98

00:43:29.000 But he goes over, and I think they said at minimum 2 million people, but I think it's 5 million that were just mined or killed just for the economic profit of what those rubber trees were offering to Western society. 0.58

00:43:51.000 This is what's happening right now with cobalt. 0.59

00:43:54.000 I had this guy, Siddharth Kara, on the podcast.

00:43:57.000 He wrote a book.

00:43:58.000 Jamie, do you remember what the name of that book was?

00:44:01.000 His book on cobalt mining in the Congo.

00:44:04.000 So, cobalt is a critical mineral that's used in cell phone batteries and many electronics.

00:44:10.000 And that is cobalt red, the blood of the Congo powers our lives. 0.56

00:44:14.000 It's a very disturbing conversation. 0.94

00:44:18.000 And he snuck in cameras and got some footage of these people doing what you think.

00:44:26.000 That this stuff is mined in some sort of industrial process.

00:44:29.000 Look at this.

00:44:30.000 This is how these people are mining. 0.88

00:44:32.000 And you've got women who have babies on their backs, and all this cobalt that they're knocking out of the ground is completely toxic. 0.90

00:44:40.000 Some of them just have like a bandana over their mouth that they're using to protect themselves from it. 0.87

00:44:46.000 But look how deep that is with human beings that are just pulling cobalt.

00:44:51.000 They live on dirt floors.

00:44:53.000 They live at the lowest level of poverty imaginable.

00:44:56.000 They don't have clean water.

00:44:57.000 They don't have good food.

00:44:59.000 And they are.

00:45:01.000 Pulling out a mineral that's essential to the most technologically sophisticated aspect of our society, which is our connectivity through the internet, through cell phones.

00:45:10.000 And this is at the, which is kind of crazy if you think of like the most technologically sophisticated aspect of our society, if you follow it all the way down to the very bottom of the food chain, you've got slave labor.

00:45:24.000 And that's a giant percentage of the cobalt that's in our cell phones and our electronics is coming out of this place.

00:45:32.000 You know, I've never seen that before, bro. 1.00

00:45:34.000 A lot of them are run by China. 1.00

00:45:36.000 Yeah, and it's very scary, man. 1.00

00:45:38.000 I've never seen it, but I wrote a lyric that touches upon it.

00:45:43.000 I've never seen those images before.

00:45:44.000 He's got video.

00:45:45.000 See if you can find the video.

00:45:46.000 The video's dark.

00:45:47.000 I think my lyrics said, let's see if I can remember my lyric.

00:45:51.000 It was a song I wrote called The Fate of the World is in Your Hand.

00:45:55.000 It was me and DJ Scratch.

00:45:58.000 And I knew that Cobalt or I knew that they were getting the mineral.

00:46:05.000 From Congo, but I didn't know it like that. 0.98

00:46:09.000 It was something like, you know, as an artist, you're fucking antenna, right? 1.00

00:46:12.000 You get shit. 1.00

00:46:13.000 But I said something. 1.00

00:46:15.000 I said, I'm trying to remember the lyric.

00:46:16.000 I said, it was like, hey, could you pull up the lyrics to Rizzo's song, The End of the World as well?

00:46:27.000 Yeah, play that video real quick, but please look at this.

00:46:30.000 How crazy is this?

00:46:31.000 By the way, all this scene almost biblical toil, the prize is cobalt. 1.00

00:46:36.000 And here's the thing all this shit is super toxic. 0.99

00:46:40.000 So, all these people are breathing in this insanely toxic dust and they're knocking it out of the ground with hammers and carrying it off in bags. 1.00

00:46:48.000 Look at this shit, yo. 1.00

00:46:49.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:46:50.000 This looks biblical, bro. 0.98

00:46:51.000 And imagine how fucking heavy these bags are. 0.98

00:46:51.000 Right. 0.98

00:46:53.000 And they're doing this all day long.

00:46:55.000 Look at these guys struggling to pick those bags up. 1.00

00:46:59.000 And they're carrying this shit all day long. 0.99

00:47:01.000 And they're just knocking it into the ground, trying to pull out this cobalt. 1.00

00:47:04.000 And the thing is, this is what we need to power our phones, which is so crazy.

00:47:10.000 If you think about all these people that are virtue signaling about how wonderful and ethical and moral they are, they're doing it on a phone that is literally powered by slave labor.

00:47:21.000 That's crazy.

00:47:22.000 It's crazy.

00:47:22.000 Yeah.

00:47:23.000 And it's crazy that this is going on in 2026, and most people aren't even aware of it.

00:47:27.000 Well, this is, well, you're back, like I just said, the project I'm working on now, we just talk about it.

00:47:33.000 We're tracing it back to the rubber tree, but it's still going on.

00:47:37.000 It's still going on.

00:47:38.000 And that's just cobalt.

00:47:40.000 There's other stuff that they're mining there, too.

00:47:43.000 It's very similar.

00:47:44.000 There's other, what they call conflict minerals. 0.64

00:47:48.000 Pull up my lyric for The Fate of the World.

00:47:50.000 I just want to just point out what I said there, if you got that on Genius or something.

00:47:59.000 Here it is.

00:47:59.000 Yeah, it says, A thousand years of darkness, the world got struck with sorrow.

00:48:04.000 Hallowed be thy name.

00:48:05.000 We need a better tomorrow.

00:48:07.000 Go to the second verse.

00:48:08.000 Let me see.

00:48:14.000 Let me see.

00:48:15.000 Wait.

00:48:16.000 Oh, no.

00:48:16.000 Wrong song.

00:48:17.000 Rizzo, I got too many songs.

00:48:17.000 That's what it is.

00:48:20.000 It's called.

00:48:24.000 You forgot the name of your own song, though.

00:48:25.000 That's hilarious.

00:48:26.000 Yeah.

00:48:26.000 You got too many songs.

00:48:28.000 What's the other one on that one?

00:48:32.000 Go open that.

00:48:33.000 No, not that one.

00:48:34.000 Go to the other.

00:48:36.000 The other.

00:48:36.000 What do you call it?

00:48:37.000 Go to the album title.

00:48:38.000 Yeah.

00:48:39.000 Hit the album, Saturday afternoon.

00:48:41.000 You're going to edit some of this, right?

00:48:42.000 No.

00:48:43.000 Okay.

00:48:43.000 You don't edit?

00:48:43.000 Well, we're going.

00:48:44.000 Y'all going to bear with us.

00:48:47.000 Saturday afternoon, Kung Fu Theater.

00:48:48.000 No, no, no.

00:48:49.000 Go to the.

00:48:51.000 Oh, it's called The Great Fisherman.

00:48:54.000 Let me see the titles of the songs.

00:48:58.000 Fisherman.

00:49:00.000 Yeah, pull that one up.

00:49:01.000 Look for those lyrics.

00:49:02.000 So, what is genius?

00:49:04.000 Genius is it shows all the lyrics?

00:49:05.000 Yeah.

00:49:06.000 That's what it is?

00:49:06.000 And then it actually has a song underneath it.

00:49:08.000 Oh, that's cool.

00:49:09.000 I didn't even know that existed.

00:49:10.000 People can annotate and tell you what people meant by what they said.

00:49:13.000 Oh, really?

00:49:14.000 Yeah.

00:49:14.000 On genius?

00:49:15.000 Yeah.

00:49:16.000 Okay, right there.

00:49:16.000 Oh, cool.

00:49:17.000 Look.

00:49:17.000 The Great Fisherman, a fisherman, are trying to make a remedy for the elixir of sin, a premonition.

00:49:17.000 There you go.

00:49:22.000 We need divine.

00:49:23.000 Intervention.

00:49:25.000 This whole world is a stage, so it's time for intermission. 0.60

00:49:29.000 In the middle of the Congo jungle, there's a combo of concentrated elements that make the world's phones glow.

00:49:36.000 But they got a small zone for their phones, though, because they don't even got reception out there.

00:49:36.000 Wow.

00:49:42.000 But we used to communicate just banging on the bongo.

00:49:44.000 That's when the village was more motherly and more brotherly.

00:49:47.000 But then the dust came through and killed them off of the rubber tree.

00:49:51.000 King Leopold's city was built from a sea of gold, and the resurrector still trading on a silky road.

00:49:57.000 Yeah.

00:49:59.000 Those are some bars.

00:50:01.000 But point, but I'm not doing that to show off or nothing.

00:50:01.000 Respect.

00:50:04.000 But it's real.

00:50:04.000 Yeah.

00:50:05.000 But you just gave me, but you gave me like the full, you gave me the connotation and the annotation of the lyric.

00:50:05.000 Yeah.

00:50:11.000 Because I didn't even see none of it.

00:50:13.000 I've never seen that before.

00:50:14.000 Oh, that's crazy.

00:50:15.000 I just heard that they got to get it from there.

00:50:18.000 And I knew the history of King Leopold.

00:50:20.000 But I did not know that this is still.

00:50:24.000 Still.

00:50:24.000 This is crazy, bro.

00:50:25.000 Yeah, it's still going on.

00:50:26.000 And it'll continue going on as long as no light is shown on it.

00:50:29.000 And this is what Siddharth Kaur was trying to do with his book and the tour that he was doing and doing podcasts and trying to let.

00:50:37.000 I mean, he risked his life, man.

00:50:38.000 I mean, they questioned him and he got very lucky that he got out of there with that footage.

00:50:43.000 Right. 1.00

00:50:44.000 Because they want to make sure that nobody knows about this shit. 1.00

00:50:47.000 They don't want any outrage. 1.00

00:50:49.000 They want the mining to keep going as planned.

00:50:51.000 I mean, it's dark.

00:50:54.000 Because it's a multi, multi billion dollar industry that's powered by abject.

00:50:54.000 It's dark, yeah.

00:51:00.000 Probably trillion.

00:51:01.000 Probably trillion.

00:51:02.000 Yeah, because, like, you're just saying, if it's in all our phones, that means.

00:51:07.000 Not just our phones, but I think it's in a lot of electronics.

00:51:10.000 I think it might be.

00:51:12.000 Is cobalt in electric cars?

00:51:15.000 I think they're trying to make new formulations of batteries without cobalt.

00:51:22.000 So there's a.

00:51:23.000 Jamie, what is that?

00:51:25.000 I know a lot of the Chinese cell phones are using a different battery technology.

00:51:29.000 Instead of lithium ion, they have something else that's more dense.

00:51:33.000 Well, that's what.

00:51:33.000 Yeah, cobalt's a critical component in lithium batteries.

00:51:39.000 Right.

00:51:40.000 That's crazy.

00:51:41.000 Yeah, lithium ion batteries.

00:51:43.000 What is Oppo?

00:51:45.000 There's a bunch of these new Chinese companies that have cell phones that have much more battery.

00:51:51.000 Instead of a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, it has a 5,000 milliamp battery in it.

00:52:00.000 I think these Oppo phones have 7,000 plus, but I think it's carbon silicon based batteries.

00:52:10.000 I wonder if they have cobalt in them.

00:52:13.000 They've, you know, as technology for batteries changes and advances, they need different kinds of components in them. 0.99

00:52:22.000 But, I mean, then you've got to find out where are they getting that shit from? 0.95

00:52:25.000 Is that another, like, conflict mineral that they have people digging out of the ground with sticks? 0.99

00:52:30.000 Well, the other thing to think about, you know, just let's say it is worth trillions of dollars.

00:52:36.000 Like, when do the people who, you know, like, if that's on my property, bro, You know what I'm saying?

00:52:44.000 You come to my crib for it, I should be getting paid off of that.

00:52:48.000 I should be.

00:52:48.000 Right.

00:52:50.000 I mean, this.

00:52:51.000 Well, you know how it works. 1.00

00:52:52.000 China comes in, a lot of these are Chinese run.

00:52:55.000 China comes in, they pay off the people that are in power in these areas, and those people will get wealthy.

00:53:01.000 And then all the people that are the workers, they all get like pennies.

00:53:08.000 As small a wage as you could possibly pay them to keep them alive.

00:53:11.000 These people live on dirt floors, no food.

00:53:15.000 It's horrible.

00:53:17.000 It's really dark, man, because it's what powers electronics, which is nuts, because that's the most sophisticated aspect of our society in terms of technology.

00:53:26.000 Well, the government of those places, and not to get here, like I'm an artist and I'm a spiritual man, but they should be like, yo, hold on, bro.

00:53:37.000 Yeah.

00:53:37.000 Like in Alaska, right?

00:53:40.000 There's a pipeline that goes through Alaska.

00:53:42.000 You know about this pipeline, right?

00:53:43.000 Sure.

00:53:44.000 But the citizens of Alaska get a royalty for that.

00:53:47.000 Yes.

00:53:48.000 Okay.

00:53:49.000 Like, if I'm in Congo and I got this cobalt that's worth trillions and I got all these people, give them a royalty.

00:53:56.000 100%.

00:53:57.000 If that was America, that would probably be the only way to do it. 0.83

00:54:00.000 But obviously, you couldn't pay people the way you pay people in the Congo in America anyway. 0.83

00:54:04.000 We have laws. 0.97

00:54:06.000 But this is also why they want illegal immigration.

00:54:08.000 That's part of the reason why they like illegal immigration is because you don't have paperwork.

00:54:12.000 You don't have to pay people what they're supposed to get paid.

00:54:14.000 Do you pull that back up again, Jamie, please?

00:54:16.000 About the silicon carbide batteries?

00:54:19.000 So, it seems like one of the reasons for utilizing this new technology is because it's not using as much cobalt.

00:54:28.000 So, advanced lithium ion technology using silicon to replace traditional graphite anodes, offering roughly 20 to 40% higher energy density and faster charging, especially in smartphones.

00:54:40.000 Does it say anything?

00:54:41.000 I thought the light.

00:54:42.000 It did because I had cobalt added onto it.

00:54:44.000 Yeah.

00:54:46.000 So, it has cobalt in that as well?

00:54:49.000 It enables more sustainable cobalt reduced designs.

00:54:49.000 But less, maybe?

00:54:53.000 So, you have less cobalt and it's more energy density.

00:54:58.000 So, these Chinese phones are, yeah, here it is Honor Magic 5 Pro.

00:55:03.000 A lot of these OnePlus 13, a lot of these Chinese made Android phones are using much more advanced battery technology.

00:55:13.000 So they're trying to ease up on it a little bit, basically?

00:55:15.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:55:17.000 The question is like, well, where are you getting everything else? 0.99

00:55:20.000 Where's all the other shit that's in your phone? 0.99

00:55:22.000 And how are you mining that? 0.99

00:55:23.000 If you're hiding how you mine cobalt, how are you mining all the other stuff?

00:55:27.000 Because they're all conflict minerals.

00:55:29.000 And a lot of these minerals, unfortunately, are mined out of the third world.

00:55:33.000 They find them in these places where people are really poor.

00:55:36.000 And the people that live there, they don't benefit from it.

00:55:38.000 Their lives don't get any better.

00:55:39.000 In fact, they get worse because they get poisoned.

00:55:42.000 Well, the thing that, but heckle to heckle, let me add some wisdom to that.

00:55:46.000 The people got to realize that they are not poor, right?

00:55:50.000 Because if that is valuable and you're standing on it, then you're standing on value.

00:55:56.000 And that's why they keep them poor, because they can't organize them.

00:55:59.000 But think about the Holy Quran for a moment, right?

00:56:01.000 Let me go here for a little spiritual here, right? 0.92

00:56:04.000 So, in the Holy Quran, it mentions, That, you know, if the Muslims were to do what they were going to do, that they would have many wells, right? 1.00

00:56:15.000 Because, you know, they're living in the desert, basically, right? 0.97

00:56:18.000 And it says they're going to have an abundance of wells.

00:56:22.000 It's not an abundance of water wells in the Middle East, right?

00:56:28.000 And these are people that are living nomadic, economically, not really at the level of the rest of the world.

00:56:36.000 But it's a prophecy telling them that they're going to have wells.

00:56:40.000 But what kind of wells they end up having?

00:56:42.000 Oil, oil wells.

00:56:43.000 Right?

00:56:44.000 And so now all of a sudden they become the most richest small region in the world.

00:56:52.000 So the promise is fulfilled.

00:56:53.000 Right?

00:56:54.000 But the gag is that the people got to realize sometimes where you stand, where you stand on your land.

00:57:01.000 You know what I mean?

00:57:02.000 The value of it, as the Bible would say, yo, work to the sweat of your brow to dig and plow and make your land valuable.

00:57:12.000 But now if you.

00:57:13.000 So, I'm just saying that the people where they're going to get whatever they're going to get, bro.

00:57:18.000 Okay, I don't care if you're going to get some berries in the Amazon.

00:57:21.000 If the berries is worth money, then the dude who got all the berries got to realize that, yo, bro, let's make a deal.

00:57:28.000 But it seemed like that ain't happening.

00:57:30.000 No.

00:57:31.000 No, it's not happening.

00:57:32.000 And the reason why it's not happening is because you have enormous corporations that come in from other countries, they get contracts, and they pay off the people that are the leaders of these countries or the people that are the leaders of the military.

00:57:44.000 And then those people keep these people oppressed.

00:57:47.000 And that's what, I mean, it's the people that are running these countries that are making sure that these people don't get paid what they deserve so that they can keep them working there for slave wages.

00:57:47.000 Right.

00:57:59.000 So they keep their profits as high as possible.

00:58:01.000 They also keep the options as low as possible.

00:58:03.000 These people don't have any options.

00:58:05.000 Right.

00:58:05.000 If you're living in the Congo and you're near where these cobalt mines are, what are your other options?

00:58:10.000 Right. 0.59

00:58:11.000 You know?

00:58:11.000 I remember, I'm going to shout out Burnham Boy.

00:58:14.000 Burnham Boy is a good dude.

00:58:16.000 He had told me some insight about.

00:58:21.000 Nigeria and like he was saying to me, like, how Wu Tang when we were young, you know, we had to sling street pharmaceuticals, right?

00:58:31.000 But out there, oil is like a street pharmaceutical. 0.99

00:58:35.000 Like, dudes was slinging petrol and slinging oil and shit. 0.99

00:58:40.000 I was like, In Nigeria? 0.99

00:58:41.000 Yeah.

00:58:42.000 Wow.

00:58:43.000 Like, that's crazy, right?

00:58:44.000 It's crazy.

00:58:45.000 But the gag I'm saying is that still, you know, of course the government controls all that, but sometimes the people got to just snap, you know, just, yo, I don't know, stand on your land, yo, and realize the value of where you stand.

00:59:01.000 You know, every man has a value, right?

00:59:06.000 We all walk with a living value.

00:59:08.000 Every life is precious.

00:59:09.000 Every life that's born changes the world.

00:59:12.000 Soon as somebody is born today, this ain't the same world it was yesterday.

00:59:16.000 Right.

00:59:16.000 Soon as somebody.

00:59:17.000 Return to the essence.

00:59:18.000 This ain't the same world.

00:59:20.000 But so we got to kind of, but the people, I'm going back to the people, not to the military or to the government.

00:59:25.000 The people got to realize that, yo, hold on, bro.

00:59:27.000 It's you, you're the value. 0.99

00:59:29.000 Because without them, right, until they do get 10 million robots to do that shit, which I don't, I'm not opposed to that. 0.99

00:59:38.000 Right. 0.99

00:59:38.000 Send 10 million robots to dig it up, bro. 0.99

00:59:41.000 And still, though, if it's on my land, break me off.

00:59:46.000 You know what I mean?

00:59:47.000 But people got to snap into that.

00:59:48.000 Well, these places are all guarded by the military.

00:59:51.000 So, yeah, it's all people with guns.

00:59:53.000 Yeah, you can't leave.

00:59:54.000 Yeah, you're doing their bidding. 1.00

00:59:56.000 You'll get shot. 1.00

00:59:57.000 Yeah, they kill people, they bury you. 0.99

00:59:59.000 No one notices, no one cares.

01:00:00.000 The value of human life is extremely low.

01:00:04.000 Yeah, it's satanic, it's dark.

01:00:07.000 Well, let's jump back on my film because in my film, the value of life, yeah, is once again, we're talking about the world, but yet I got to relate it back because in our film, the value of life seems low as well.

01:00:22.000 Yeah, right?

01:00:23.000 Low for the person living. 0.96

01:00:27.000 More valuable for the person that kills them. 0.98

01:00:29.000 Right. 1.00

01:00:30.000 Yeah.

01:00:30.000 Without giving too much of the film away, what happens in the film actually happens in real life.

01:00:36.000 I mean, that is, it's based, I mean, you say it's based on real life, but there's been real live cases where people, they've harvested people's organs for profit.

01:00:45.000 And that's a thing. 0.95

01:00:46.000 I mean, that's a big problem with people in China. 0.88

01:00:48.000 You know, people go to China for organs.

01:00:51.000 Like, there's a tourism to get organs replaced.

01:00:54.000 Like, say if you need a new kidney or you need a new liver or whatever.

01:00:57.000 We got it.

01:00:57.000 Yeah, they have it.

01:00:58.000 And what they'll do is they'll take their fucking prisoners. 1.00

01:01:01.000 Oh, look, AB blood type? 1.00

01:01:02.000 Perfect. 1.00

01:01:03.000 Whack. 0.76

01:01:05.000 And then now you got some dude's heart.

01:01:07.000 Business.

01:01:07.000 Yeah.

01:01:08.000 Crazy.

01:01:09.000 There's another element that. 0.76

01:01:14.000 This is Rizzo right here.

01:01:15.000 I'm live on Joe Rogan's podcast.

01:01:17.000 I got a new film coming out May 1st.

01:01:19.000 It's called One Spoon of Chocolate.

01:01:22.000 Written and directed by the Rizzo, starring Shamig Moore, Paris Jackson, Blair Underwood, Rockman Dunbar, to name a few.

01:01:29.000 It's produced by Quentin Tarantino and my wife, Talani Diggs.

01:01:32.000 Hey, baby.

01:01:33.000 I did an official radio drop because.

01:01:37.000 That sounded like we were on the radio.

01:01:38.000 Yeah, I did that.

01:01:39.000 Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Rizza.

01:01:42.000 Coming in at five after the hour.

01:01:46.000 But I love how art can touch upon things even if it's unintentional, right? 0.99

01:01:55.000 What I mean by unintentional is that, you know, as an artist, I just let the shit flow. 0.97

01:02:00.000 Like when you showed all that Congo Cobalt, I never seen it. 0.98

01:02:05.000 But yet it's in your lyrics.

01:02:06.000 Yeah, but that's in my lyrics.

01:02:08.000 And even as you're telling me there's China stuff here, I don't know about that.

01:02:12.000 I do know some things that happened with some articles, but I wasn't, I'm not in depth, in depth, what do you call it?

01:02:22.000 I don't have in depth knowledge of it. 1.00

01:02:22.000 N D E P H T H. 1.00

01:02:26.000 But I strive as an artist, Joe, is to actually at least show the surface so that, you know, I don't know how deep the pool is.

01:02:35.000 But I will show the surface through my art.

01:02:39.000 And I think in this film, which is an action film, though, right? 1.00

01:02:43.000 So, Joe only seen the first half of it, so he doesn't know about the revenge-o-matic ass kicking. 1.00

01:02:49.000 And I'm not going to spoil it for you. 1.00

01:02:50.000 Well, I believe it. 0.95

01:02:51.000 There's already plenty of ass kicking already. 0.98

01:02:53.000 Right, right, exactly. 0.97

01:02:54.000 Seen some, okay. 0.97

01:02:55.000 But it gets fucking, you're going to have a good time. 0.98

01:02:57.000 I'm sure. 0.98

01:02:58.000 You're going to have a good time.

01:02:59.000 But still, once again, the art of it, it has a. 1.00

01:03:05.000 I'm realizing as I'm watching with different audiences, like when I watched it in New York, I had motherfuckers yelling at the screen: fuck that man. 1.00

01:03:15.000 They were on some shit. 1.00

01:03:17.000 When I watched it in LA, the audience was like, it was like a sense of nervousness that was in the room. 1.00

01:03:24.000 When I watched it in Chicago, it was a standing ovation.

01:03:27.000 You know what I mean?

01:03:28.000 I watched it in San Francisco, and the QA was very intellectual.

01:03:32.000 So I'm realizing that, okay, this is touching. 0.99

01:03:35.000 And when I watched it at this other place, the girl, with Dave, actually, I watched it with Dave Chappelle, he said that, you got bars in this motherfucker. 0.99

01:03:43.000 I said, what do you mean by bars? 0.99

01:03:45.000 He said, well, the guy says, the girl says, First, the girl, you haven't seen this scene yet, but Paris Jackson is telling him that everybody in this town goes to church on Sunday, except for Jimmy and his gang of degenerates.

01:04:03.000 They party all night Saturday and they sleep all day Sunday. 0.90

01:04:08.000 She said, and I guess they're not afraid to go to hell.

01:04:12.000 And then the hero says, but where I come from, they say heaven is what you make it and hell is what you got to go through to get it.

01:04:23.000 And she was like, that sounds right. 0.99

01:04:24.000 And Dave was like, that's a fucking bar. 1.00

01:04:29.000 And yo, hold on. 0.99

01:04:30.000 So last time I was here, it was Donnell Rawlins, right?

01:04:33.000 So check it out, bro.

01:04:35.000 I was showing the film to Dave, right?

01:04:37.000 And we're going to do a QA.

01:04:39.000 I went to Yellow Spring, Ohio, bro.

01:04:40.000 Was Donnell there?

01:04:41.000 Bro.

01:04:43.000 He was there, yo.

01:04:46.000 And then he got up and he asked the question.

01:04:49.000 And he started, he interrupted.

01:04:53.000 He talked about the day we were here, and you inspired him to do a podcast.

01:04:57.000 I remember you said, Yo, start a podcast.

01:04:59.000 Boy, you might even help them, right?

01:05:01.000 And then he said, And I said, Yo, yeah, if you need something, hit me.

01:05:04.000 So he hit me up, said, Yo, let me get an opening theme track.

01:05:09.000 And so I got like a bunch of beats that's on my little thumb drive.

01:05:13.000 I sent him like five of them, right?

01:05:15.000 And he chose one.

01:05:16.000 Yeah, he told me about this.

01:05:17.000 Yeah.

01:05:18.000 So now he chose one, and that becomes his theme. 0.99

01:05:21.000 And it was a nice fucking thing. 0.99

01:05:22.000 But that same five tracks, My manager is sending it to other people too and shit. 0.99

01:05:28.000 So, and I did give it to Donnell. 0.97

01:05:29.000 I gave it to him gratis. 0.99

01:05:31.000 But he comes up in the middle of my QA with Dave about my film and he starts talking about the beat and he says, Rizza is an Indian giver.

01:05:43.000 He said, I was playing, he said, I had it on my podcast for almost two years. 0.96

01:05:48.000 And then one day it said, flag, license, whatever they do and shit when you can't use it. 0.86

01:05:57.000 And I was like, I said, oh, yeah, bro, yeah. 0.83

01:06:01.000 The people from the Minions, they had got those five tracks as well, and they chose it, and they put it, and they paid us a lot of money.

01:06:12.000 Not going back to the money of it all, but.

01:06:16.000 So I told him, I said, oh, that's just another beat.

01:06:18.000 He said, nah, son, that was the one.

01:06:20.000 Oh, no.

01:06:20.000 That was the one.

01:06:21.000 I said, bro, they chose it.

01:06:23.000 My manager made the deal.

01:06:25.000 It's off the table now.

01:06:25.000 Oh, no.

01:06:27.000 Oh, no.

01:06:27.000 So you had to change his opening?

01:06:29.000 Yeah, so I opened it.

01:06:31.000 Oh, no.

01:06:31.000 That gives a board a complaint about.

01:06:33.000 Yeah.

01:06:33.000 Oh, no.

01:06:34.000 It's almost worth giving him the beat just so he doesn't have to complain.

01:06:37.000 I owe you, Darnell, and I'm going to hook you up with something.

01:06:37.000 Yeah.

01:06:40.000 Actually, going to cook you up something nice.

01:06:42.000 All right.

01:06:43.000 I can't wait for this phone call.

01:06:45.000 Son, you know what he did to me, son?

01:06:49.000 He took it back. 1.00

01:06:51.000 He said that shit in front of the audience. 1.00

01:06:53.000 I couldn't deny it and shit. 1.00

01:06:55.000 I was like, yeah. 0.99

01:06:57.000 That's hilarious.

01:06:59.000 That's hilarious.

01:07:01.000 But anyway, but they love the film too.

01:07:04.000 Like the audience, and I'm only saying that because I love when my peers react to something.

01:07:10.000 Is this your first feature length film?

01:07:13.000 Fourth.

01:07:14.000 Yeah.

01:07:14.000 I know you've done other stuff, but have you written and done other things like this?

01:07:20.000 The way you're doing it this way?

01:07:21.000 This is my second one writing.

01:07:22.000 So I wrote my first film, Man with the Iron Fist.

01:07:25.000 Right?

01:07:25.000 Right.

01:07:26.000 Which was a Quentin Tantino present as well.

01:07:29.000 And then it was a kung fu movie.

01:07:32.000 So then I didn't want to get stuck and, like, oh, that's all he does.

01:07:36.000 So my second film I didn't write was written by Nicole.

01:07:40.000 And she, it was called Love Beats Rhymes.

01:07:45.000 And that was like a movie about poetry and a female lead.

01:07:50.000 And it was actually John David Washington.

01:07:54.000 It was his first feature film as well.

01:07:57.000 And then my third film was called Cutthroat City, which I didn't write.

01:08:01.000 Just once again, I hired Gunn as a director.

01:08:04.000 And in that film, I had Shamik Moore as the lead actor.

01:08:08.000 And I kind of fell in love with his talent.

01:08:12.000 So that's why he was in Cutthroat City.

01:08:14.000 He's in the Wu Tang series, he plays Raekwon.

01:08:17.000 And now he's the star of my new film.

01:08:19.000 So we kind of got this, I hate to say it, but we kind of got this Denzel Spike Lee energy, this Kugler Michael B energy.

01:08:28.000 I really like this guy.

01:08:30.000 But on this particular film, yes, I decided to write it and direct it.

01:08:36.000 And I'm back to the basic, right?

01:08:39.000 Quentin Tantino presented my first film, and now here's my fourth film, and he's back in the building.

01:08:47.000 First soundtrack is Baddest Man Alive.

01:08:49.000 Oh, that you did with Black Keys.

01:08:52.000 That song, that song killed it.

01:08:55.000 Shout out to Dan and Patrick, yo.

01:09:00.000 Yeah, I love those two guys. 0.99

01:09:01.000 They're cool as fuck. 0.99

01:09:02.000 And that song kills it. 1.00

01:09:04.000 That song kills it.

01:09:05.000 That's such a good song.

01:09:06.000 A bunch of dudes used that song as Walk Out.

01:09:09.000 Walk Out for the UFC. 0.99

01:09:10.000 I seen it on a fucking car commotion one day. 0.99

01:09:13.000 I was like, okay. 0.99

01:09:14.000 Did you guys listen to the lyrics?

01:09:17.000 Right.

01:09:19.000 I guess all you need is that hook.

01:09:20.000 Right.

01:09:21.000 Yeah.

01:09:22.000 On this, how are we doing on time?

01:09:23.000 We good?

01:09:24.000 Yeah, we're plenty good.

01:09:25.000 On this particular film, I got a guy named, you know, Jason Isbell?

01:09:30.000 Yeah, sure.

01:09:30.000 Yes.

01:09:31.000 So Jason Isbell did a song in the film.

01:09:35.000 It's called Comic Book Life.

01:09:39.000 And it was, you know, it's my first collaboration with him as well.

01:09:44.000 And it was a pleasure.

01:09:48.000 Lyrics go Jesus Christ walked.

01:09:53.000 Jesus Christ may have walked on water and Superman flies through the sky.

01:09:59.000 The immigrant crossed the border.

01:10:02.000 He's looking for a better life.

01:10:04.000 Trying to find it, he's reminded that dreams are born to die.

01:10:10.000 His reality kills his fantasy.

01:10:14.000 It's not a comic book life.

01:10:16.000 You know what I mean?

01:10:18.000 And so it goes on.

01:10:20.000 And so I try to, when I do films, try to make like a unique, Musical collaboration.

01:10:25.000 Of course, that was me and the Black Keys back then.

01:10:28.000 But on this film, we got music from Jason Isbell.

01:10:33.000 We got clearances from the Isley brothers, who, check this out, bro.

01:10:39.000 I'm on a plane three days ago heading to Atlanta to show the film.

01:10:44.000 Guess who's sitting in first class in the seat right there?

01:10:47.000 Ron Isley.

01:10:49.000 I never met him before.

01:10:50.000 I'm like the big fan.

01:10:51.000 I love his music.

01:10:52.000 I got two of his songs in my movie.

01:10:54.000 And I'm like, I'm going to show and I look over.

01:10:56.000 I'm like, my wife's like, yeah, that's Ron Isley.

01:10:58.000 And I was like, I got a chance to get up and thank him for his work and for even allowing his music to be in my film because that's special.

01:11:09.000 Oh, that's cool.

01:11:10.000 Are you a Ron Isley fan?

01:11:12.000 Not really.

01:11:13.000 You're not an Isley Brothers, bro?

01:11:14.000 Listen, bro, you gotta let me.

01:11:16.000 I gotta put you on some Isley Brothers, bro.

01:11:27.000 But if you ever get into any love life trouble, okay, put on the Isley Brothers, it will smoothen out.

01:11:59.000 Yeah, I'll check it out.

01:12:03.000 Who's your favorite musician?

01:12:05.000 Oh boy, I don't think I have a favorite musician.

01:12:08.000 I don't even have a favorite genre, you know.

01:12:12.000 I like all kinds.

01:12:13.000 I mean, if you look at my Spotify green room playlist, it's All over the place.

01:12:19.000 It goes from Nina Simone to Bill Withers to Wu Tang to Leonard Skinner to Led Zeppelin.

01:12:26.000 It's all over the place to Gary Clark Jr. to.

01:12:30.000 It's everywhere.

01:12:55.000 Oh, Brand New Heavies got together with like Cool G Rap.

01:12:59.000 They got together with a bunch of different rappers.

01:13:22.000 92, yeah.

01:13:23.000 Right, right.

01:13:23.000 Because I remember that first album.

01:13:24.000 Oh my God, you got to listen to some of this shit. 0.97

01:13:26.000 Yeah, because now in 92, what happens to me in 1992? 1.00

01:13:31.000 I'm on my own dick now. 0.97

01:13:32.000 I don't listen to nobody. 0.99

01:13:33.000 I'm just Wu Tanged out.

01:13:35.000 Oh, okay.

01:13:35.000 No, I'm trying to make it.

01:13:36.000 So I'm like, yeah.

01:13:38.000 Yeah, oh, I get it.

01:13:39.000 So I missed it.

01:13:40.000 I actually missed a lot of things during my career, bro.

01:13:40.000 Oh, yeah.

01:13:43.000 I realized, like, I'm going backwards.

01:13:47.000 Like, there was a point in my life, bro, I couldn't stand RB.

01:13:50.000 Really?

01:13:50.000 It made me nauseous.

01:13:52.000 I'm serious. 0.98

01:13:53.000 Like, if I'm driving, And RB's on, I felt, no, I was so fucking hip hop, bro. 0.97

01:13:59.000 Because you're so concentrated. 0.88

01:14:00.000 Yeah, it was weird.

01:14:01.000 Like I said, that makes sense, though.

01:14:02.000 Yeah, it makes sense.

01:14:03.000 Yeah, because you were on the grind.

01:14:05.000 You were really trying to make it happen. 1.00

01:14:07.000 Now, you give me, now I play RB, me and my wife, we be dancing around the motherfucking house. 0.98

01:14:13.000 I mean, there was a point in time where I was only into 90s hip hop. 1.00

01:14:18.000 Like, 90s hip hop was my shit. 0.99

01:14:20.000 Right. 0.99

01:14:20.000 Because, like, that was when I was young and I was on the road a lot, and that was like my getting fired up music was like 90s hip hop. 0.99

01:14:28.000 But then I started expanding, and then I got into like a lot of like old classic rock and roll. 0.68

01:14:34.000 And I just think it's all dependent upon your mood, but there's so much different shit that you could listen to. 0.96

01:14:40.000 Right. 0.97

01:14:41.000 But this, you got to listen to some of this heavy rhyme experience.

01:14:44.000 Yeah, I'm going to put that on my list right there.

01:14:46.000 Play him that Cougie rap death threat.

01:14:50.000 This is like one of my.

01:14:51.000 So in the green room, we'll have to cut this out of the podcast, unfortunately, because we don't want to get dinged.

01:14:57.000 But in the green room playlist, this is like one of my first beginning of the night when the comedy show starts, and we're in the green room getting fired up, pouring a couple drinks, everybody's getting fired up.

01:15:08.000 Someone's rolling a blunt.

01:15:10.000 This is one of my favorite songs to start the Green Room playlist off.

01:15:13.000 Hit me with it.

01:15:16.000 This is Cool G Rap and the Brand New Heavies.

01:15:19.000 Okay.

01:15:20.000 It's great, and the Gangstar Hectic, that's another one of my favorites.

01:15:24.000 You know what's so cool about it for me?

01:15:25.000 So I never heard it, but it immediately put me right back in the Staples and Projects, like right back in that time of me, like my.

01:15:33.000 Because Cool G Rap is.

01:15:34.000 Love that dude.

01:15:36.000 So it put me right there.

01:15:36.000 Thank you, y'all.

01:15:37.000 Cock Blocking, one of my all time favorite songs.

01:15:39.000 Right, right. 0.99

01:15:41.000 Talk like sex. 0.99

01:15:42.000 I mean, he's so many Ill Street Blues. 0.99

01:15:44.000 Ill Street Blues is amazing.

01:15:45.000 And Cool G Rap, I just think in mainstream, just doesn't get the respect he deserves from the influence that he had in the 90s.

01:15:52.000 Yeah, I think the artists we give it to him, but yeah, you're right, the punk.

01:15:57.000 Mainstream, there's so many people I bring up Cool G Rap and they're like, who?

01:16:01.000 And I'm like, oh, sit down.

01:16:03.000 Sit down. 1.00

01:16:03.000 Let me play some shit for you. 1.00

01:16:05.000 And I didn't ever, he told me this years later that the G stood for genius. 1.00

01:16:11.000 And he's a fucking genius, even though we got the jizz of the genius in our crew. 0.99

01:16:16.000 Cougie Rap is a genius, man. 0.99

01:16:19.000 I was blessed to do a couple of tracks with him in my catalog.

01:16:23.000 Oh, nice.

01:16:24.000 We actually got a couple that we did together and a couple that I just produced with him and Inspector Deck and things of that nature.

01:16:31.000 So that's one of the greatest blessings of the art is that I'm sure you do the same as whether you're doing comedy, whether you're doing your physicality, that you had people that you admired and then all of a sudden they're your peers.

01:16:44.000 You're collaborating. 0.99

01:16:45.000 You're doing shit with them. 1.00

01:16:46.000 Yeah, I know. 1.00

01:16:47.000 It's very exciting.

01:16:49.000 Being able to hang out with them, you know?

01:16:51.000 We did a.

01:16:53.000 We went to dinner with Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avery, and then they came to the comedy show, and then we were all hanging out in the green room.

01:16:59.000 Right. 0.81

01:17:00.000 And everybody's like, this is the fucking coolest night of all time. 0.88

01:17:02.000 Just chilling and hanging out with Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avery at the mothership green room. 0.92

01:17:08.000 How do you want to beat that?

01:17:09.000 It's hard to beat, man.

01:17:10.000 Everybody, the next day, we were like, didn't last night really happen?

01:17:13.000 Like, that was so fun.

01:17:17.000 When I. Speaking of Quentin, when I had a cut.

01:17:21.000 That was worthy to show him.

01:17:26.000 Our buddy Jared and my buddy Abazar, so Jared kind of owns the old Desi Arnez studio.

01:17:34.000 Oh, wow.

01:17:36.000 He's the guy that started Red Cameras.

01:17:38.000 And he has this amazing screening room.

01:17:41.000 And so he said, Yo, you can screen it here for Quentin.

01:17:46.000 I said, All right, cool.

01:17:47.000 So we finally got the date to do it.

01:17:49.000 And I go there, and his plus one is Fincher.

01:17:53.000 Oh, wow. 1.00

01:17:54.000 So I'm just like, oh, shit. 1.00

01:17:54.000 Exactly. 1.00

01:17:55.000 That was crazy.

01:17:56.000 Yeah.

01:17:57.000 So now I'm like, okay, whoa, okay.

01:18:00.000 And I played the film to them.

01:18:02.000 And once there was another great night, some great, what were we sipping on?

01:18:07.000 We were sipping on some great scotch.

01:18:10.000 Yeah, we had some great scotch.

01:18:11.000 I don't smoke weed like that no more.

01:18:14.000 So, you know, do you still smoke weed?

01:18:16.000 What happened when you stopped?

01:18:19.000 I just, I don't function good in public or weed.

01:18:22.000 It does.

01:18:23.000 Who does?

01:18:25.000 Yeah, well, okay.

01:18:28.000 People think they do.

01:18:29.000 Exactly.

01:18:30.000 I don't want to see that photo.

01:18:32.000 I don't want to.

01:18:33.000 No photo.

01:18:34.000 Yeah, I don't want to be that guy no more.

01:18:36.000 It's like if I'm home, also to be honest with you, if I smoke weed, bro, I start doing kung fu, bro.

01:18:42.000 Yeah, I'm either going to sit quiet and be a total.

01:18:42.000 Really?

01:18:46.000 Oh, you start. 1.00

01:18:47.000 Yeah, and motherfuckers like, yo, let's just. 1.00

01:18:49.000 Yeah, exactly. 1.00

01:18:50.000 I'll start doing shit like that. 1.00

01:18:52.000 I mean, with a fucking suit on or some shit. 1.00

01:18:55.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:18:56.000 That sounds fun.

01:18:57.000 Yeah, well, you know, so yeah, I kind of.

01:19:01.000 2015 was when I stopped.

01:19:03.000 Really?

01:19:04.000 Completely?

01:19:05.000 Yeah.

01:19:05.000 Maybe, I mean, yes, for completely, but then I said I will only smoke with two or three people in the world.

01:19:14.000 One of them is Quentin Tarantino because we watch our Kung Fu movies.

01:19:18.000 We're not going nowhere.

01:19:20.000 If I have some weed with him, I know that.

01:19:23.000 No photos is happening. 1.00

01:19:25.000 You're not going to see the Zongi Rizza.

01:19:29.000 My other brother I smoke with, I won't say his name because I don't know if people know he smoked. 0.99

01:19:32.000 I think everybody knows he smoked, but I won't say his fucking name and shit. 0.99

01:19:36.000 And I'll only see him. 1.00

01:19:38.000 Once a year, twice a year.

01:19:40.000 You know what I mean?

01:19:42.000 And that's really it.

01:19:43.000 And even, like, I haven't smoked a blunt with Method Man in over 12 years, bro.

01:19:49.000 Wow.

01:19:49.000 And that's my, that's my, that was my, he's the king of smoking anyway, but that was like my, but I just, like I said, I just don't like how, yeah, it just doesn't fit my today's personality.

01:20:02.000 So I'm a sipper now.

01:20:04.000 I just sip on some, not no syrup.

01:20:06.000 I'm gonna eat some sippers.

01:20:07.000 I know what you mean.

01:20:07.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:20:08.000 A little scotch.

01:20:09.000 A little scotch, a little tequila.

01:20:10.000 I love tequila.

01:20:11.000 Mezcal.

01:20:12.000 Mm hmm.

01:20:13.000 You know, there's nothing wrong with all those things.

01:20:14.000 I think they're all tools, and I think one of the things about tools is you can misuse them.

01:20:19.000 I think there's a lot of people that just live in the cloud and they just get high all the time, and then they just feel like their life is out of control, and then pure abstinence becomes the only solution.

01:20:30.000 But it's really you just started abusing the tool.

01:20:33.000 I think marijuana is an excellent tool for creativity, and the way I like it the most is writing.

01:20:40.000 I think it's the greatest thing ever for writing.

01:20:43.000 There's something that happens with just not a lot.

01:20:47.000 Just a little bit of weed, just all of a sudden, bing, ideas start sparking off in your head that I go, I don't think that these ideas would exist without this stuff.

01:20:56.000 That's one of the things that Carl Sagan said.

01:20:58.000 Jamie, what was that famous Carl Sagan quote on cannabis?

01:21:03.000 But Carl Sagan, who's obviously like one of the most famous astronomers of all time, he had and wrote that great movie, Contact, that great book, Contact.

01:21:12.000 He had this quote about cannabis that I always like to say to people that want to say it's for dummies.

01:21:18.000 Because it's like, no, man, it's.

01:21:21.000 There's something to it. 1.00

01:21:23.000 You could look like a dummy if you abuse it, just like you could look like an idiot if you get so drunk that you can't walk. 1.00

01:21:29.000 Exactly. 1.00

01:21:30.000 It's the same thing, but a little bit, just a little bit sometimes, just fires up.

01:21:37.000 The illegality of cancer is outrageous and impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.

01:21:48.000 That was one quote, but there was another quote that he had about.

01:21:53.000 Ideas that are available through cannabis that aren't available without it. 0.66

01:21:59.000 That his perception, and obviously, here's a guy that, I mean, what better way to utilize weed than to smoke a little and stare at the fucking vastness of the cosmos and just try to open up your mind to the world.

01:22:12.000 That's exactly what I mean for me, right?

01:22:15.000 So, if I, so there's only two things going to happen for me. 0.99

01:22:18.000 I'm going to smoke, then I'm going to just be like, even if I'll be in here finding fucking constellations and shit. 0.98

01:22:24.000 You see what I mean? 0.99

01:22:25.000 Yeah.

01:22:26.000 Kung Fu.

01:22:26.000 Or.

01:22:27.000 I'm doing Kung Fu.

01:22:28.000 Those sound like two good things.

01:22:29.000 Yeah, I'm not knocking them, but it's definitely my schedule.

01:22:33.000 Yeah, it doesn't fit it.

01:22:33.000 It doesn't fit it.

01:22:34.000 It doesn't fit it.

01:22:35.000 That's the thing is like, what is life?

01:22:37.000 Is life about schedule or is life about enjoying moments?

01:22:41.000 And I think there's something to be said for enjoying moments, and there's certain things that will help enhance moments.

01:22:48.000 And I think that's where cannabis comes into play.

01:22:52.000 I think the problem with it is the problem with anything that human beings abuse, whether it's soda, chocolate, whatever, alcohol, food.

01:23:03.000 People abuse things.

01:23:04.000 They go too far with it, you don't use it correctly.

01:23:07.000 And I think it's also part of the problem with it being illegal.

01:23:10.000 One of the things about alcohol being legal is we understand what a dose is.

01:23:14.000 If I give you a shot of tequila and we both clink glasses and we do a shot, we understand the dose.

01:23:20.000 That is one shot of tequila.

01:23:22.000 It's not confusing.

01:23:24.000 Whereas we all know weed.

01:23:26.000 You know, you get a hold of some of Snoop's weed or some people are just, they're dealing with botanists that are on another planet, man.

01:23:34.000 Let me say one thing about Snoop's weed one day, bro.

01:23:36.000 When I was smoking, I did an interview with him and.

01:23:41.000 That's when he had that GSC.

01:23:42.000 He had the G.

01:23:43.000 He had some network that he had.

01:23:45.000 And we were talking about my movie, and then I was going, everything was fine.

01:23:48.000 Like, then, you know, he's rolling it, you know, he was talking. 1.00

01:23:51.000 Then he lit that motherfucker up and passed that shit, bro. 1.00

01:23:56.000 I hit that shit, hit it back, hit it again. 1.00

01:23:59.000 I was like, I'm getting the fuck out of here. 1.00

01:24:04.000 And, yo, I was gone. 0.93

01:24:06.000 Yeah, that's Joey Diaz weed, too.

01:24:08.000 Joey Diaz got that same kind of weed.

01:24:10.000 I've given it to some people, and I'm like, careful, that's Joey Diaz weed.

01:24:14.000 And they get. 0.99

01:24:14.000 Scared, like, oh Jesus, yeah, you gotta go home one day and make a pillow get a pillow ready because that shit is gonna fucking and he could do it all day. 0.99

01:24:23.000 Like, him and Method Man out of my and I'll give Burner Boy in that category as well. 0.99

01:24:30.000 Those are the three most people that I've seen very weed tolerant. 1.00

01:24:37.000 Like, like, like, like they could be on the third one and then you hit it and you're like, what the fuck, yo, how the fuck, how the fuck are y'all. 0.99

01:24:47.000 Oh, going like that. 1.00

01:24:48.000 Going all day long.

01:24:49.000 Yeah.

01:24:50.000 When Snoop was in here, he just kept rolling blunts.

01:24:52.000 And I was like, How are you still awake?

01:24:55.000 How do you function?

01:24:57.000 But they're so accustomed to it that their tolerance is so high and that feeling of just being in the cloud all the time.

01:25:03.000 They're fine with it.

01:25:04.000 Do you find that other quote?

01:25:05.000 There's multiple quotes.

01:25:06.000 He had an essay, so.

01:25:08.000 It was something about ideas being available that aren't.

01:25:14.000 That was the big quote.

01:25:15.000 Yeah, it didn't say, understand himself.

01:25:19.000 It doesn't say that in here.

01:25:20.000 That's okay.

01:25:21.000 I feel no worries.

01:25:22.000 I should have found it.

01:25:23.000 I should have had it ready.

01:25:25.000 But the point is, it's like it's a tool, and you could use any tool correctly, or you could use it and abuse it incorrectly.

01:25:32.000 So, what's your frequency of smoking?

01:25:34.000 Like, do you smoke once a day, once a week?

01:25:36.000 I just wish it was legal.

01:25:38.000 If it was legal, then people would be.

01:25:40.000 It is legal in many places, is it?

01:25:41.000 Yeah, but it's not federally legal.

01:25:43.000 It's just got changed to Schedule 3.

01:25:46.000 So, Schedule 3 is the same as Tylenol with codeine.

01:25:51.000 So, what does that mean?

01:25:52.000 Does it mean that you have to get a prescription for it?

01:25:55.000 So, it doesn't carry the same.

01:25:58.000 The crazy thing is, it's completely legal in California and it's generating tax revenue.

01:26:02.000 It's completely legal in Colorado, generating tax revenue.

01:26:05.000 And then people always want to point to the negative aspects of it.

01:26:08.000 But, like, you could have negative aspects with everything else that's legal, too.

01:26:13.000 Think about how many people die from obesity every year, obesity related diseases.

01:26:18.000 Let's put that into perplexity, put that into our AI sponsor.

01:26:22.000 What is how many people die because of obesity related diseases every year?

01:26:28.000 So, should we regulate food?

01:26:31.000 Should we regulate the amount of food that people are able to consume?

01:26:34.000 Should we stop people?

01:26:36.000 Should we make cake and ring dings and ho ho? 1.00

01:26:39.000 Should we make that shit illegal? 1.00

01:26:40.000 No. 1.00

01:26:41.000 You have to have some personal responsibility and some self control and an understanding of what the ramifications are.

01:26:49.000 What are the dangers of overeating or eating the wrong kinds of food?

01:26:52.000 That's the same with cannabis, the same with alcohol.

01:26:55.000 If you think that alcohol should be illegal, well, people are going to drink it and then you're just going to empower organized crime like they did during the prohibition.

01:27:04.000 Okay, how about this?

01:27:06.000 World Health Organization reports that at least 2.8 million people die each year as a result of being overweight or obese. 0.99

01:27:13.000 That's fucking crazy. 0.99

01:27:16.000 That's crazy, bro. 1.00

01:27:17.000 Globally, it's 3 to 5 million people a year.

01:27:20.000 Wait, so where's the 2.8 at?

01:27:22.000 I don't know.

01:27:22.000 That's here?

01:27:23.000 No, here is U.S.

01:27:25.000 Okay.

01:27:26.000 U.S. is here.

01:27:26.000 So U.S., it's 280,000 to 325,000 per year.

01:27:34.000 They knocked out opioids.

01:27:36.000 Knocked it out of the park.

01:27:38.000 So we're all worried about opioids and no one's worried about pizza.

01:27:42.000 But that doesn't mean that pizza should be illegal.

01:27:47.000 Especially New York pizza, bro.

01:27:49.000 That's the best pizza in this country.

01:27:51.000 Connecticut.

01:27:52.000 New Haven.

01:27:53.000 Look, you just have to have an understanding of what to do and not to do.

01:27:59.000 Don't eat pizza 24 hours a day, every day, you'll die.

01:28:03.000 Don't eat a pound of salt.

01:28:05.000 You eat a pound of salt, you'll be dead.

01:28:07.000 Wasn't there a documentary where a guy.

01:28:09.000 I'm not talking about that.

01:28:10.000 Supersize me.

01:28:11.000 Yeah, that's that.

01:28:12.000 What was he eating every day?

01:28:13.000 He's eating McDonald's.

01:28:14.000 Yeah, all day, every day for every meal. 1.00

01:28:16.000 And that was like 30 days before the Grimm people started knocking at the door? 1.00

01:28:20.000 Yeah, he wasn't doing well.

01:28:22.000 He had all sorts of liver problems.

01:28:24.000 Didn't McDonald's just release some subscription where you get like, it's like $52 a month and you can eat as much as you want?

01:28:31.000 I think they just did that today.

01:28:34.000 What's that look, Jerry?

01:28:35.000 That doesn't make any sense.

01:28:35.000 What's that face?

01:28:36.000 I know, it doesn't make any sense.

01:28:38.000 $52.

01:28:38.000 I think they just did that today.

01:28:40.000 I saw it on my Google News alert this morning.

01:28:44.000 Did that make sense?

01:28:45.000 No.

01:28:46.000 It doesn't make sense unless they're limiting the amount of meals that you can have in a day.

01:28:51.000 But if you have a subscription, say if you have a McDonald's subscription and it's $52 a month and that's all you eat, you could live off of $52 a month easily.

01:29:02.000 Well, not according to that documentary.

01:29:04.000 No.

01:29:04.000 That's two months, you're out of here.

01:29:06.000 Well, what if you only ate their salads and you only ate their beef patties without any bread?

01:29:12.000 So, probably be better off, probably be okay. 0.99

01:29:15.000 But even their beef probably has like fillers in it and shit. 0.98

01:29:19.000 I'm still living a vegan lifestyle, still, yeah, yeah. 0.93

01:29:22.000 What do you get mostly for your protein?

01:29:25.000 Mostly beans.

01:29:26.000 Um, I probably do consume a little bit too much soy, I think, because I do eat tofu.

01:29:31.000 Shout out to our friend CK, hey, in the building.

01:29:34.000 Oh, yeah, he bought in, yeah, that place rules.

01:29:38.000 Yes, he bought us lunch, which we will eat after we finish this.

01:29:42.000 Phenomenal Chinese restaurant here in Austin, phenomenal.

01:29:45.000 You know what he got that I realized?

01:29:47.000 What?

01:29:48.000 He has those Sichuan peppers.

01:29:50.000 Oh, yeah. 1.00

01:29:51.000 That shit is cracked. 1.00

01:29:52.000 They kick. 1.00

01:29:53.000 Yeah, they kick.

01:29:54.000 They make my bald head sweat.

01:29:56.000 Yes, that's it.

01:29:56.000 They start dripping.

01:29:58.000 Yeah, dripping down to my eyebrows.

01:29:59.000 Exactly.

01:30:00.000 I'm sorry.

01:30:01.000 What were we looking up again, Jamie?

01:30:02.000 It's McDonald's Unlimited.

01:30:03.000 Did you find it?

01:30:03.000 Oh, yeah.

01:30:04.000 Is it fake?

01:30:05.000 Well, the only places that it pops up are one Instagram post.

01:30:12.000 It was in my Google News feed.

01:30:14.000 Ah, it.

01:30:15.000 People are reporting it, but it seems to be only based off of a photo, which is most likely AI.

01:30:23.000 Oh, yeah, $54 a month.

01:30:25.000 This photo is going around, but there's no links to it.

01:30:28.000 McDonald's isn't saying it.

01:30:30.000 There's no press reels.

01:30:31.000 Interesting. 0.99

01:30:32.000 Oh, so it's bullshit. 0.99

01:30:34.000 Because I was thinking, how could they afford? 1.00

01:30:34.000 It's bullshit. 1.00

01:30:36.000 Now, what also I would say, they do do test stuff, and it is claiming it's a pilot program being tested somewhere. 0.99

01:30:42.000 So, potentially they're trying something out somewhere.

01:30:46.000 So, again, I don't see any reporting of it.

01:30:49.000 Unlimited meals is a weird thing.

01:30:51.000 If you're going to limit it, you can't say unlimited.

01:30:55.000 Because if it's unlimited, then you could just feed your whole family for $54 a month.

01:30:59.000 Right.

01:31:00.000 You go, take one.

01:31:01.000 Hey, go back in.

01:31:02.000 Yeah.

01:31:03.000 Well, you could just say unlimited.

01:31:04.000 I like to eat seven Big Macs.

01:31:06.000 Give me seven Big Macs, seven orders of fries, seven sodas, and then you're feeding everybody for $54 a month.

01:31:13.000 Does McDonald's own Chipotle?

01:31:13.000 That's crazy.

01:31:16.000 I don't know.

01:31:17.000 Do they own Chipotle?

01:31:18.000 I'm bringing up Chipotle because I got Chipotle.

01:31:21.000 I did a campaign with them, and they gave me a card, lifelong card.

01:31:28.000 I could eat at Chipotle for free for the rest of my life.

01:31:31.000 Really?

01:31:32.000 That's part of the campaign?

01:31:33.000 No, this was like the gift.

01:31:35.000 For you, yeah.

01:31:36.000 I didn't even know that that was a thing.

01:31:37.000 And I could have 10 people with 24 hour notice.

01:31:43.000 And I think I could do a catered event at least once a month.

01:31:47.000 Wow.

01:31:48.000 For the rest of my life.

01:31:49.000 That's a pretty good deal.

01:31:50.000 That is a real thing.

01:31:51.000 Really?

01:31:52.000 That's like a celebrity gold card thing they offer.

01:31:56.000 Oh, not bad.

01:31:57.000 People have gotten their hands on it through different ways.

01:31:59.000 Like Travis Barker has one here.

01:32:01.000 Interesting.

01:32:02.000 I got one.

01:32:03.000 Well, Travis is a vegan too.

01:32:05.000 Yeah, I'm a vegan too.

01:32:06.000 Eating just the bean burritos and stuff?

01:32:09.000 Or the sofritos. 0.99

01:32:10.000 They got some shit called sofrito. 0.99

01:32:11.000 What is that? 1.00

01:32:13.000 Hopefully, there's no chicken in there.

01:32:15.000 No, I don't think there's no chicken.

01:32:17.000 I think it's like a vegan meat.

01:32:21.000 So, most of your animal or most of your protein is from what?

01:32:26.000 Tofu?

01:32:27.000 Yeah, chickpeas.

01:32:27.000 Beans?

01:32:28.000 I love chickpeas.

01:32:29.000 Lentils.

01:32:29.000 Chickpeas.

01:32:30.000 I'm crazy for lentils. 0.51

01:32:31.000 My wife would throw a pot of lentils.

01:32:33.000 Pea protein is really good. 0.95

01:32:34.000 Pea protein.

01:32:34.000 Hemp protein is really good.

01:32:36.000 Hemp protein is, I think it's one of the few plant based proteins that contains all the amino acids.

01:32:36.000 Hemp is good.

01:32:42.000 And it's very bioavailable too.

01:32:45.000 Pumpkin seeds, bro.

01:32:46.000 Pumpkin seeds.

01:32:47.000 Pumpkin seeds.

01:32:48.000 Yeah.

01:32:48.000 Really?

01:32:49.000 Look up pumpkin seeds, bro.

01:32:50.000 Pumpkin seeds probably have the most best protein.

01:32:54.000 Really?

01:32:55.000 Pumpkin seeds.

01:32:55.000 I keep them.

01:32:56.000 It tastes good too.

01:32:57.000 When they're roasted?

01:32:57.000 I keep them in my coffee.

01:32:58.000 Yeah.

01:32:59.000 Roasted pumpkin seeds.

01:32:59.000 A little salt on them.

01:33:00.000 Mmm.

01:33:01.000 Trust me.

01:33:02.000 Every time I get in the whip, I got.

01:33:04.000 Pumpkin seeds.

01:33:05.000 What is that?

01:33:06.000 What does it say about the.

01:33:08.000 Oh, and they reduce the risk of cancer and improve bowel and prostate health.

01:33:14.000 Pumpkin seeds, bro.

01:33:15.000 That's it.

01:33:15.000 Rich in protein, fiber, unsaturated fats, and must have minerals.

01:33:20.000 Papitas are a great healthy snacking option.

01:33:23.000 All right.

01:33:24.000 Yeah, pumpkin seeds are delicious.

01:33:25.000 Yeah, so you get those, you get some chickpeas. 1.00

01:33:28.000 Isn't it weird that people, when they make their fucking jack o' lanterns, they scoop that shit out and throw it away? 0.99

01:33:33.000 Yeah, give them to me. 0.99

01:33:35.000 It's like the most, the healthiest part of the pumpkin.

01:33:38.000 That's weird.

01:33:40.000 It's weird what we throw away.

01:33:41.000 Like, we're just so used to, like, waste.

01:33:44.000 Yeah.

01:33:45.000 So used to, like, having an abundance of food that we're not concentrating on this part of the plant that has the most protein in the plant.

01:33:51.000 In the plant.

01:33:51.000 Right.

01:33:52.000 Probably the most nutritious part of the pumpkin.

01:33:54.000 Well, you know, my buddy was here yesterday. 0.99

01:33:58.000 He, uh, they don't throw away too much of that, uh, too much of that meat for that Texas barbecue you guys got this motherfucking boy. 1.00

01:34:05.000 No, they don't fuck around. 1.00

01:34:07.000 Yo, there was a 15 minute wait line around the corner, 200 people. 1.00

01:34:12.000 Where were you at?

01:34:13.000 Which place?

01:34:14.000 It was, I don't know the name of it.

01:34:15.000 Terry Black's?

01:34:17.000 I don't know, because I just drove, my man Abizard went there and said, you know, he couldn't come out to Texas and not get some Texas barbecue.

01:34:24.000 I'm a vegan.

01:34:24.000 You know what I mean?

01:34:25.000 You know what I mean?

01:34:25.000 What am I going to do?

01:34:26.000 They have some good beans and macaroni, and it's just a bunch of different stuff that you can get there.

01:34:31.000 Potato salad.

01:34:32.000 Yeah.

01:34:33.000 Well, potato salad.

01:34:33.000 Yeah.

01:34:34.000 I got it.

01:34:35.000 It's got mayonnaise and milk and eggs.

01:34:35.000 Oh, that's right.

01:34:39.000 You've been a vegan since the 90s, right?

01:34:39.000 Yeah.

01:34:42.000 Yeah.

01:34:43.000 Well, no.

01:34:44.000 I started vegetarian in the 90s, and by the time I got to 2000, I started. 0.99

01:34:49.000 You don't fuck with eggs at all? 0.99

01:34:50.000 No, I got rid of the eggs. 1.00

01:34:51.000 No?

01:34:52.000 Yeah.

01:34:53.000 I don't. 0.99

01:34:53.000 The eggs, what got me off the fucking eggs, bro? 0.99

01:34:57.000 I think my personality got me off the eggs. 1.00

01:35:00.000 Personality?

01:35:02.000 Why is that?

01:35:03.000 I don't know.

01:35:04.000 You know, it's like, what's the word?

01:35:06.000 I could be scornful.

01:35:07.000 Is that the word?

01:35:08.000 Like when you like, like, I don't know. 1.00

01:35:14.000 Like a Felix Unger type of shit. 0.98

01:35:15.000 You know, you ever watch Felix Unger? 1.00

01:35:17.000 It's a couple? 0.99

01:35:18.000 Like, you don't want pits in his orange juice or some shit. 0.99

01:35:18.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:35:21.000 So, eggs, like one day, it's just the slime of the egg.

01:35:27.000 It's just.

01:35:27.000 And just cook it.

01:35:29.000 Yeah, but it then got that little white shit in it, bro. 1.00

01:35:33.000 I was just saying. 1.00

01:35:34.000 It's so good for you.

01:35:35.000 And if you have your own chickens, like I have my own chickens, eggs are karma free protein.

01:35:40.000 They're like pets that give you free protein.

01:35:42.000 Right, right.

01:35:43.000 Because they're laying an egg that will never be a chicken because it's not fertilized.

01:35:49.000 So it's just free protein.

01:35:49.000 Exactly.

01:35:51.000 Right.

01:35:51.000 And they lay them every day, basically, or close to it.

01:35:55.000 And you feed them, and they run around the backyard and they pick bugs and grass.

01:36:00.000 Right.

01:36:00.000 What do you feed them?

01:36:02.000 Chicken food.

01:36:03.000 You know, you buy chicken feed and we also feed them some table scraps and vegetables and different things, but they're carnivores, man, which is really wild.

01:36:11.000 Like, you see them eat a mouse.

01:36:13.000 It's crazy.

01:36:13.000 Oh, what?

01:36:14.000 They tear mice. 0.95

01:36:15.000 You never seen a chicken eat a mouse?

01:36:16.000 I've never seen the chicken eat a mouse.

01:36:17.000 Chickens are straight up dinosaurs.

01:36:20.000 There's some great videos of chickens around a cat and a cat's playing with a mouse and the chicken just runs up on the cat and steals the mouse from them and tears it apart.

01:36:29.000 I didn't see that, yo.

01:36:30.000 I fed a chicken that I had, well, One chicken stole the mouse, but this is what happened.

01:36:36.000 So, in my house in California, we used to have a wrought iron fence and we replaced it with a glass fence.

01:36:43.000 Unfortunately, hawks couldn't tell that it was a glass fence, and we lost a few hawks.

01:36:48.000 They slammed into it head first and got KO'd, and some of them died.

01:36:51.000 We lost like two hawks died.

01:36:53.000 It was really sad.

01:36:54.000 But one of them survived, and my family, my wife, and my daughters took the hawk and put it in like a large cardboard box.

01:37:02.000 It couldn't fly, and they had to feed it over the weekend because the rescue shelter.

01:37:06.000 Couldn't take it over the weekend.

01:37:07.000 We had to bring it in on Monday.

01:37:08.000 And so they go, Well, what are hawks?

01:37:10.000 How do you feed it?

01:37:11.000 We went to the store and the pet store, and the pet food store had these things called pinkies.

01:37:17.000 And what they are is like little baby mice.

01:37:20.000 And so you put these little baby mice in with the hawk, and the hawk ate most of them, but one of them lived.

01:37:25.000 One of them, the hawk didn't eat it.

01:37:26.000 My hawk had enough pinkies.

01:37:29.000 It ate enough. 1.00

01:37:30.000 So my daughters were like, Well, I want to keep that one alive.

01:37:33.000 I'm like, It's not going to live.

01:37:34.000 It doesn't have the milk.

01:37:35.000 It doesn't have its mother.

01:37:36.000 It hasn't been weaned. 0.91

01:37:37.000 It's going to die.

01:37:38.000 And I said, Let me just. 0.96

01:37:39.000 Feed it to the chickens.

01:37:40.000 I didn't even know if they were going to eat it.

01:37:41.000 I didn't know what was going to happen.

01:37:43.000 I put that little mouse down in the cage, and that chicken just ran up and snatched it, and they all stole it away.

01:37:48.000 So, watch this cat. 0.99

01:37:49.000 This cat's fucking with this mouse. 1.00

01:37:51.000 The cats, you think cats are ruthless. 1.00

01:37:53.000 He's playing with this motherfucker. 1.00

01:37:53.000 They are. 1.00

01:37:54.000 But he's playing with it. 1.00

01:37:55.000 He wants to watch it hop away, and then the chicken gets annoyed after a while, and the chicken's like, give me that shit, bitch. 1.00

01:38:02.000 And when the chicken runs up on the mouse, watch this instantaneously. 1.00

01:38:07.000 As soon as the chicken realizes this, look, give me that shit, bitch, and just starts tearing it apart. 1.00

01:38:12.000 Chickens aren't into playing with things at all. 1.00

01:38:12.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

01:38:14.000 Nah, that's right. 1.00

01:38:14.000 They just want to eat. 1.00

01:38:15.000 This is dinner.

01:38:16.000 Yeah, just chasing food.

01:38:17.000 Playing with the food.

01:38:18.000 I'm out of here.

01:38:19.000 Where they were all chasing each other around the chicken coop, where this one chicken had the mouse in its mouth, and they were all trying to steal it from her mouth.

01:38:27.000 Oh, they wanted it more than anything.

01:38:29.000 That's crazy.

01:38:30.000 Because they don't act like that with chicken food at all.

01:38:33.000 Right, right.

01:38:34.000 They wanted some meat, bro.

01:38:35.000 Yeah, or dried worms, or that's one of them, like worm meal.

01:38:39.000 You buy these boxes of dried worms, and you shake it, and they come running, and you'll leave that out for them.

01:38:44.000 They love that.

01:38:45.000 So, okay, so now your chickens, you got your own.

01:38:47.000 How many?

01:38:48.000 I have 15.

01:38:49.000 15 chickens.

01:38:50.000 So you're getting what?

01:38:50.000 Oh, wow.

01:38:52.000 A bunch of eggs, like probably at least 10 eggs every day.

01:38:55.000 Wow.

01:38:56.000 And so, because they don't always lay them every day.

01:38:58.000 Of course, of course.

01:38:59.000 But it's free protein and it's healthy for you.

01:39:02.000 You know exactly where it came from.

01:39:04.000 There's no hormones, no pesticides, no herbicides, no nothing.

01:39:08.000 Let me interrupt our podcast for a moment.

01:39:10.000 This is the Rizza.

01:39:10.000 Okay.

01:39:12.000 I'm sitting here with Joe Rogan.

01:39:13.000 I have a new film coming out May 1st.

01:39:16.000 It's called One Spoon of Chocolate, starring Shamik Moore and Paris Jackson, produced by Quentin Tarantino, in theaters everywhere, May.

01:39:23.000 First, and that's only a couple days from now.

01:39:25.000 Today is the 27th, so it's this Friday.

01:39:28.000 This Friday, there it is one spoon of chocolate.

01:39:32.000 Because one spoon of chocolate can do what change a whole glass of milk, change the whole glass of milk.

01:39:39.000 Um, but anyway, eggs is good for you, they're really good for you, healthy and karma free.

01:39:47.000 And the only thing that I don't complain about as a vegan, and I don't cook with it or use it, but if some butter slipped on my.

01:39:57.000 I'm not going to flip that.

01:39:58.000 Yeah, you shouldn't because it's just milk that comes out of a cow.

01:40:01.000 It doesn't, you know, especially if you get it from an organic farm.

01:40:04.000 It's no big deal.

01:40:05.000 Right.

01:40:06.000 So that's the only thing that, you know, I don't, you know, I don't, I use all that plant based butter and they got this thing called, well, now Country Crock got plant based avocado oil butter.

01:40:20.000 Really?

01:40:21.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:40:21.000 How the fuck do they make that? 0.99

01:40:23.000 That's the problem with all that stuff that's like fake. 0.99

01:40:27.000 Meat and fake this is that it's really processed.

01:40:30.000 Right. 1.00

01:40:30.000 You know, I think if you want to eat vegetables and vegetarian diet, like the way to do it is the way the Indians do it. 1.00

01:40:37.000 It's like Indian food from India.

01:40:40.000 You know, there's a lot of amazing Indian vegetarian food.

01:40:44.000 I stay in an Indian restaurant.

01:40:46.000 Oh, so good.

01:40:47.000 So spicy and so delicious.

01:40:49.000 And they've been cooking just vegetarian dishes for probably thousands of years.

01:40:54.000 Cleans you right out, too.

01:40:55.000 Oh, that's true.

01:40:56.000 It opens up the gates. 0.98

01:40:57.000 Bama Lama. 0.91

01:40:58.000 Let's go.

01:40:59.000 Let's go, baby.

01:41:01.000 Don't have a flight.

01:41:02.000 Yeah.

01:41:04.000 If you do, get a seat in the back.

01:41:04.000 Exactly.

01:41:05.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:41:06.000 Yeah.

01:41:07.000 It's, but it's, there was a place that I used to live near, near my old house in California that was in an Indian neighborhood.

01:41:14.000 And it was this Indian restaurant.

01:41:16.000 It was like a, you know, like a cafeteria style where you just go and point. 0.98

01:41:20.000 I didn't even know what the fuck the names of these things were. 0.84

01:41:23.000 They had photos of whatever it was. 0.98

01:41:25.000 But it was all in Indian.

01:41:25.000 Yeah, you want that.

01:41:27.000 And I would just point it.

01:41:27.000 Right.

01:41:28.000 And it was all, everyone who ate there was Indian.

01:41:30.000 It was very few regular restaurants.

01:41:30.000 Right.

01:41:32.000 I mean, no white people, no African Americans was all over the place.

01:41:35.000 Where is that? 0.98

01:41:36.000 Wait, I feel like I might have fucking been there. 0.97

01:41:38.000 In the Valley. 0.98

01:41:39.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:41:40.000 Yeah, it's not a restaurant.

01:41:41.000 No, it's like a store in the back of the store.

01:41:43.000 You've been to that place. 1.00

01:41:44.000 And you can buy some fucking spices of your own. 1.00

01:41:47.000 Yes. 1.00

01:41:47.000 Yeah, grubble. 1.00

01:41:48.000 God, I wish I remembered the name of the place because the spices were awesome too.

01:41:52.000 It was a great place.

01:41:53.000 And in the back, they had this like cafeteria style.

01:41:56.000 It was all Indian people. 1.00

01:41:57.000 Yep, yeah.

01:41:58.000 Phenomenal.

01:41:59.000 Phenomenal restaurant.

01:42:00.000 I'm the kind of guy that do that too. 1.00

01:42:01.000 Like, I'll go to the Asian market and shit. 1.00

01:42:03.000 I'll go, fuck, I'll go. 1.00

01:42:04.000 I know that. 1.00

01:42:05.000 I'm getting a bunch of good shit. 1.00

01:42:07.000 Oh, that's it. 1.00

01:42:07.000 India sweets and spices. 1.00

01:42:09.000 Damn, Jamie's a wizard. 0.99

01:42:11.000 Nice. 0.99

01:42:11.000 Where is that joint? 0.99

01:42:13.000 That's it.

01:42:14.000 Canoga Park.

01:42:15.000 That's exactly it.

01:42:16.000 That's the spot.

01:42:17.000 That's not far from home.

01:42:18.000 Our old office.

01:42:20.000 Oh, that's real close to where my old studio was, too.

01:42:22.000 Yeah, and I was on, I still got the same office, though, right over there.

01:42:27.000 Yo, bro, your old studio, right?

01:42:29.000 Yeah.

01:42:30.000 You know what happened to it, right? 1.00

01:42:31.000 Bro, that whole shit, they tore that shit down. 1.00

01:42:31.000 No. 1.00

01:42:34.000 They did?

01:42:35.000 It's now the LA Rams training facility.

01:42:39.000 You remember that AMC?

01:42:41.000 Yeah.

01:42:42.000 Bro.

01:42:43.000 Really?

01:42:44.000 Tow it down, bro. 0.99

01:42:45.000 They building some other shit there. 1.00

01:42:46.000 Wow. 1.00

01:42:48.000 That is crazy.

01:42:48.000 That's crazy.

01:42:50.000 Because back, that's for the fans. 0.98

01:42:51.000 I know I could see Joe's office from my window, or his studio from my window back in those days and shit. 0.98

01:42:57.000 Wow. 0.95

01:42:58.000 But now, all that is the LA Rams training facility. 0.99

01:43:03.000 So I watch the Rams train and shit from my window. 0.99

01:43:06.000 Oh, that's crazy. 0.99

01:43:07.000 Yeah.

01:43:08.000 That neighborhood's very interesting.

01:43:09.000 There's a lot of cool stuff.

01:43:10.000 There's a phenomenal Mexican spot down there.

01:43:13.000 What is it called?

01:43:14.000 The Big Burrito?

01:43:15.000 That's what it's called, right?

01:43:17.000 I think that's it.

01:43:18.000 There's this. 1.00

01:43:19.000 Phenomenal Mexican joint, and you go in there, it's all like Mexican soap operas playing.

01:43:24.000 Everybody speaks Spanish, no one there is speaking English, and the food is sensational.

01:43:30.000 It's that's it, El Big Burrito. 0.99

01:43:33.000 That place fucking rules. 0.98

01:43:35.000 I, when I lived there, I didn't tell people about it because I didn't want to blow up the spot, I wanted to be able to go in there. 0.99

01:43:42.000 I would never bring it up on the podcast, and they've reached out to me thanking me because we brought it up a few times. 0.99

01:43:48.000 But that place fucking rules. 0.96

01:43:50.000 You want to get like a legit. 0.99

01:43:52.000 Burrito, legit quesadilla, legit tacos, like Lengua tacos, like Cowtown. 0.93

01:43:58.000 I know you don't eat meat, but if you did, and even their bean burritos are fucking phenomenal. 0.79

01:44:03.000 It's just like real legit spicy Mexican food. 0.90

01:44:07.000 Well, to me, it's all about the sauce.

01:44:09.000 If you got good salsa, you know what I mean?

01:44:12.000 Yeah.

01:44:12.000 Oh, that place is so good.

01:44:15.000 There's those places that you find in LA that are real hard to find in Texas.

01:44:19.000 Texas, you get a lot of Tex Mex, you know, whereas in LA, you get straight.

01:44:25.000 Let's talk about that for a moment because I actually thought about that because New York, you, I mean, now it's okay, but New York, we, for years, bro, we didn't have good Mexican food, bro.

01:44:25.000 Mexican.

01:44:38.000 They do now?

01:44:39.000 Yeah, because now it's been more, some more brothers came in and there's some pocket communities.

01:44:45.000 But trust me, in New York, bro, for years, I thought I was eating Mexican food until I went to California.

01:44:52.000 Yeah.

01:44:53.000 And I was like, okay, now.

01:44:54.000 San Diego has some of the absolute best Mexican food in the world.

01:44:58.000 San Diego is world.

01:44:59.000 But I find Texas and New Mexico, like I find this part of the country as well having a lot of good flavors.

01:45:09.000 But I'm interested, how do you, like, if you were to say from your travels, the best Mexican food, is it California?

01:45:17.000 Is it the Midwest?

01:45:18.000 What would you say?

01:45:19.000 Well, there's really good Mexican food in Texas, but you got to seek it out.

01:45:24.000 Whereas there's a lot of Tex Mex here, which is also really good, but you could tell it's not straight Mexican.

01:45:31.000 You know what I mean?

01:45:32.000 It's like a fusion.

01:45:33.000 Right.

01:45:34.000 And in California, you don't have any of that. 1.00

01:45:35.000 And California is just Mexican.

01:45:37.000 And there's so many great Mexican restaurants in California.

01:45:40.000 Right, right.

01:45:41.000 San Diego is filled with them, but LA is filled with them too.

01:45:44.000 But it's spots like that, like the Big Burrito, where you go to a place like that, you walk in, you're like, oh my God, I'm home. 0.99

01:45:50.000 Because it's like the smells, and then you see the Spanish soap operas playing. 0.98

01:45:54.000 Right, right. 0.98

01:45:55.000 This is real.

01:45:55.000 This is legit.

01:45:56.000 Yeah, I was driving down the street last night and shit, and I just found this really funny, right? 0.94

01:46:02.000 So I'm driving down the street. 0.98

01:46:04.000 I mean, I'm not driving, personally, I don't drive.

01:46:05.000 But the car, my car.

01:46:06.000 You don't drive at all?

01:46:07.000 Really?

01:46:07.000 I don't drive.

01:46:08.000 Since 2012, I haven't driven a car.

01:46:10.000 How come?

01:46:12.000 I just, I just, I let it go.

01:46:14.000 You know what happened, bro?

01:46:15.000 What happened?

01:46:16.000 I was in China. 1.00

01:46:19.000 You don't want to drive in China. 0.95

01:46:20.000 Well, I got to be honest.

01:46:23.000 Like, we were doing the film there, and every time, every morning that I would go to work, it almost, like, every day, it almost happened.

01:46:33.000 Like, it almost, like, that's that.

01:46:34.000 Almost car accidents.

01:46:35.000 Yeah, every day.

01:46:36.000 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

01:46:38.000 So, and even, even, even, even, like, when my brother Russell Crowe, like, we'll get to set on the morning.

01:46:43.000 I love that dude.

01:46:44.000 And, yo, he'll say the same thing, like, yo, Bobby, like, I thought, yeah, bro.

01:46:51.000 We made it.

01:46:53.000 Right?

01:46:54.000 But so then when I came home, I just stopped driving, bro.

01:46:58.000 You just didn't want to be a part of it anymore?

01:47:00.000 Nope.

01:47:00.000 I haven't drove since then.

01:47:02.000 Have you ever fucked with any of those Waymos? 1.00

01:47:04.000 You ever gotten any of those things? 1.00

01:47:06.000 No.

01:47:08.000 But I do have a Tesla that'll drive me.

01:47:10.000 Yeah.

01:47:10.000 Have you done it?

01:47:11.000 I've had it drive me all the way home.

01:47:13.000 It's crazy.

01:47:13.000 Yeah.

01:47:14.000 Yeah.

01:47:15.000 How do you feel, though?

01:47:16.000 Uncomfortable.

01:47:17.000 I don't like it.

01:47:18.000 Yeah.

01:47:19.000 I like driving.

01:47:20.000 I enjoy driving.

01:47:20.000 I do.

01:47:21.000 But with my Tesla, I'll put an address, like, say, if I want to go to a restaurant or something like that, and go doo doo, and it'll drive me.

01:47:29.000 It'll stop at stop signs and stoplights.

01:47:31.000 It'll change lanes if there's anything in the way.

01:47:34.000 It hits the blinkers to change lanes.

01:47:36.000 It turns.

01:47:37.000 It does everything.

01:47:38.000 Right.

01:47:38.000 I mean, it literally can drive you from point A to.

01:47:41.000 Do you ever fuck with it, Jamie? 0.99

01:47:42.000 Do you ever use it? 0.99

01:47:44.000 I just found out through the update that, like, and then I haven't been using full self driving, I've been using whatever was right before that.

01:47:51.000 Which to me, I thought was the exact same.

01:47:53.000 It drives itself too.

01:47:56.000 I don't know.

01:47:56.000 What's the difference?

01:47:57.000 Because it said that it gave me an option to turn it on.

01:48:01.000 I was like, I thought I was, what?

01:48:04.000 Hold on.

01:48:05.000 What am I doing then?

01:48:06.000 Because it still drives itself.

01:48:08.000 I don't remember because I got my subscription, right?

01:48:12.000 Isn't it?

01:48:12.000 I was like, wait, I thought I had it.

01:48:12.000 That's when I got it.

01:48:15.000 Hold on.

01:48:16.000 Whatever it's been doing.

01:48:17.000 Whatever it is, I definitely have it.

01:48:19.000 What do you mean?

01:48:19.000 It's part of a subscription.

01:48:21.000 You mean it ain't automatic?

01:48:22.000 I think so.

01:48:23.000 I think you pay more for it.

01:48:25.000 I'm not sure.

01:48:25.000 I don't want to talk out of turn.

01:48:27.000 I also didn't understand it either, but yeah, I think so.

01:48:30.000 I think you pay for it because I think it's more complex.

01:48:34.000 It's using a bunch of different.

01:48:36.000 I don't know, making things up.

01:48:38.000 I don't know.

01:48:39.000 But I do know it works.

01:48:40.000 If you press it, I saw a Waymo on the way here to you.

01:48:44.000 And it was right beside us. 0.99

01:48:45.000 I looked in there and I was like, yo, bro, why have a steering wheel with the old school fucking. 0.99

01:48:52.000 With a gear changer? 0.99

01:48:53.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:48:54.000 If nobody's going to dry this shit. 1.00

01:48:56.000 Well, in case it breaks. 0.99

01:48:58.000 And then, if somehow or other, maybe there's an override where you could just drive it.

01:49:02.000 Yeah, but still, that's the grandma thing, bro.

01:49:05.000 The shifter on the column?

01:49:07.000 Yeah.

01:49:07.000 It's like, this is, we in the future.

01:49:11.000 There shouldn't be no steering wheel like that.

01:49:13.000 My Cadillac has that.

01:49:15.000 My Cadillac shifts on the column like that.

01:49:17.000 That's for the, what?

01:49:18.000 An Escalade?

01:49:19.000 Yeah.

01:49:20.000 Putting drive like that.

01:49:20.000 Does it?

01:49:21.000 I thought the shit is right here now. 0.99

01:49:23.000 Uh-uh. 1.00

01:49:23.000 I got my shit right here, bro. 1.00

01:49:25.000 Pretty sure. 1.00

01:49:26.000 That might be for your bikes or shit. 0.99

01:49:28.000 No, I'm pretty sure. 0.98

01:49:29.000 Okay.

01:49:29.000 I mean, I have a bunch of cars.

01:49:30.000 I don't drive.

01:49:31.000 I don't even know.

01:49:32.000 I don't drive.

01:49:33.000 We're going to put a studio in at the racetrack, at the Circuit of the Americas.

01:49:38.000 I'm going to take you around the racetrack.

01:49:40.000 I'm going to put you in a car.

01:49:41.000 You're going to drive around the racetrack.

01:49:43.000 I don't know what I'm talking about.

01:49:43.000 Oh, wait.

01:49:46.000 Yeah.

01:49:46.000 Yeah, that's the new one.

01:49:48.000 Yes, it says 2023.

01:49:50.000 No, 2026 Escalade V. Escalade.

01:50:00.000 Yeah, but it doesn't, that's not how it works.

01:50:03.000 I'm 90% sure.

01:50:04.000 There it is, right there on the column.

01:50:06.000 See it?

01:50:07.000 Right there.

01:50:07.000 That's how it is.

01:50:07.000 Oh, yeah, that's it.

01:50:08.000 That's what mine looks like.

01:50:09.000 Okay.

01:50:10.000 See that little.

01:50:11.000 They put it back up there.

01:50:12.000 Yeah, they put it back up there.

01:50:13.000 Because it clears all the room on your console.

01:50:16.000 Right, for the cups and all that stuff.

01:50:17.000 Yeah, that's where mine is.

01:50:19.000 I love that.

01:50:20.000 So, anyway, I'm coming.

01:50:21.000 Well, I'm going to escalate yesterday, right? 0.98

01:50:23.000 I don't know where the gear shit was at. 0.90

01:50:25.000 But I got the window down, getting some of this beautiful Austin Air. 0.98

01:50:30.000 And a truck drives up beside me, playing this Spanish song. 1.00

01:50:37.000 He's blasting this shit. 1.00

01:50:39.000 This shit sounds cool like a motherfucker, right? 1.00

01:50:42.000 I'm like, yo, what is this shit? 1.00

01:50:44.000 So I shesam it. 1.00

01:50:47.000 So I shazam it and then I get the song, right?

01:50:51.000 Right.

01:50:52.000 And then I start playing it in my car and the truck is going on.

01:50:55.000 But then we're still driving slow.

01:50:57.000 Then I can see the car beside me. 1.00

01:51:00.000 They shazammed it. 1.00

01:51:01.000 You know what I mean? 0.99

01:51:03.000 I was like, wait a minute, that doesn't happen.

01:51:06.000 I mean, that's what we need again.

01:51:07.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:51:08.000 Like, where somebody's just playing some fucking music. 0.99

01:51:12.000 You never heard the song before. 0.99

01:51:14.000 You like it.

01:51:15.000 Yes.

01:51:16.000 You got it.

01:51:17.000 You know what I mean?

01:51:18.000 Yeah.

01:51:18.000 And so I love Shazam.

01:51:20.000 I got two Spanish songs now in my joint that is part of my new playlist, yo.

01:51:28.000 They just got from listening to people's cars. 0.99

01:51:30.000 Just driving by, like, yo, hold on, that shit sound dope. 0.99

01:51:33.000 Yeah, that's a new thing, right? 0.99

01:51:35.000 Because we don't have radio as much anymore.

01:51:37.000 There's not a lot of people listening to the radio.

01:51:39.000 A lot of times you're getting new songs.

01:51:42.000 Oftentimes, I'll be at dinner someplace and they'll be playing music.

01:51:44.000 I go, oh, what is this?

01:51:46.000 Right.

01:51:46.000 And I'll put my phone up in the air and try to catch it.

01:51:49.000 You know?

01:51:49.000 That's dope.

01:51:49.000 Right.

01:51:50.000 That's one of the greatest things about technology to me because it's that ability to know.

01:51:57.000 You know, like you can know now if you want to know.

01:51:59.000 You don't got to wait to know. 1.00

01:52:00.000 You're like, you know what, motherfucker? 0.99

01:52:02.000 Like, every time you get a thought here that we're not too sure about, he could hit that button and give us a reference. 0.99

01:52:10.000 I know. 0.96

01:52:11.000 Sometimes we leave a podcast and I'm like, maybe we should have looked that one up because it turns out that shit's not true. 0.97

01:52:17.000 Well, I have beaten Google a few times. 0.90

01:52:20.000 You've won?

01:52:21.000 You've beat Google?

01:52:22.000 I've beat them.

01:52:22.000 Well, Google's a little deceptive, I think.

01:52:25.000 But if you use AI, like we use Perplexity, it searches for the whole internet.

01:52:30.000 It doesn't just, you know, use whatever Google.

01:52:33.000 The problem with Google, not that it's a problem, but these are curated searches.

01:52:40.000 So, like, say, here's a perfect example.

01:52:45.000 Say if you want to find a Mexican restaurant, right?

01:52:47.000 And you use Google.

01:52:49.000 What Google's going to do is, Some people are paying so that their restaurant gets to the top of the search list.

01:52:56.000 That's a little bit of a problem.

01:52:58.000 Because that might not be the best restaurant.

01:52:58.000 Right.

01:53:00.000 That might just be a restaurant that paid Google.

01:53:03.000 Whereas if you go to like Perplexity and say, in terms of like restaurant critics, what is the favorite authentic Mexican restaurant in Austin?

01:53:15.000 And it'll tell you.

01:53:17.000 Right.

01:53:17.000 It'll say, these people believe that this is it.

01:53:20.000 And there's no curation yet.

01:53:21.000 Right.

01:53:22.000 I mean, my wife is actually, we were talking about this today.

01:53:25.000 Like one day, they're gonna that up too, and people are gonna pay to get that.

01:53:30.000 But right now, they haven't done that.

01:53:32.000 So, right now, you could find spots like cool spots that haven't, you know, with no curation, sponsored exactly.

01:53:40.000 Let's check, let's do a test real quick, okay?

01:53:43.000 Okay, so there's 196,940,000 square miles on the planet, right?

01:53:48.000 Whoa, there's 63,360 inches, right?

01:53:57.000 Because it's 5,280 feet in a mile.

01:53:59.000 So I'm going to start over.

01:54:01.000 There's 196,940,000 square miles in the country.

01:54:07.000 On the planet?

01:54:08.000 Okay.

01:54:08.000 On the planet.

01:54:09.000 Okay.

01:54:10.000 For one mile, there's 5,280 feet.

01:54:14.000 Okay.

01:54:15.000 And of course, there's 12 inches in the feet.

01:54:16.000 So you multiply that by 12, you'll get 63,360 inches.

01:54:22.000 I want perplexity to tell me how many square inches on the planet.

01:54:30.000 Ooh.

01:54:31.000 Let's see what you get.

01:54:33.000 Boy, that number's got to be bananas. 0.99

01:54:37.000 I guarantee you, we're going to look at a long fucking number. 0.99

01:54:41.000 A lot of zeros. 0.99

01:54:42.000 That's a good question.

01:54:45.000 That is a good question.

01:54:49.000 Dun, dun, dun.

01:54:52.000 Does it even have an answer?

01:54:54.000 It's probably confused. 0.99

01:54:55.000 It's like, hold on, what the fuck are you talking about? 0.99

01:54:57.000 You're perplexing me. 1.00

01:54:58.000 What are you doing?

01:55:01.000 We perplex perplexity.

01:55:05.000 There you go.

01:55:06.000 I didn't answer correctly the first time I typed it in.

01:55:06.000 Okay.

01:55:09.000 Eight times 10 to the 17 square inches on Earth's surface.

01:55:14.000 What does that look like in a raw number?

01:55:17.000 Ask it what it looks like in a raw number.

01:55:19.000 It's now 8 with 17.

01:55:21.000 17 zeros?

01:55:22.000 Pretty much.

01:55:24.000 10 to the 17th?

01:55:26.000 That's what that is?

01:55:27.000 17 zeros?

01:55:28.000 So basically, it took the 63360 and they squared it.

01:55:33.000 Uh huh.

01:55:34.000 And that's how they got to there.

01:55:36.000 Wow. 0.96

01:55:38.000 But it didn't give us no fucking direct answer, right? 0.87

01:55:42.000 Well, it did, but it did it with 10 to the 17th.

01:55:45.000 Okay, so let's do this now.

01:55:47.000 Type that out.

01:55:48.000 Type that number out.

01:55:49.000 And divide it by four.

01:55:51.000 Okay, let's see.

01:55:52.000 Type it out.

01:55:52.000 I'm going to see what this looks like.

01:55:55.000 This must look bananas.

01:55:58.000 Whoa!

01:56:03.000 And now divide it by four.

01:56:04.000 Before you do that, can you ask it?

01:56:06.000 How would you say that?

01:56:09.000 I was trying to figure it out.

01:56:10.000 It's not a trillion.

01:56:12.000 It's not a quadrillion.

01:56:13.000 What is that?

01:56:14.000 It's a quintillion.

01:56:15.000 Is it a quintillion?

01:56:16.000 This is a billion, right?

01:56:19.000 Yeah.

01:56:19.000 This is a trillion.

01:56:21.000 So it's a quadrillion.

01:56:22.000 Wait, no.

01:56:24.000 How say just sign just to ask it, how would you say that, please?

01:56:30.000 How would you say that?

01:56:40.000 800 quadrillion square inches.

01:56:43.000 Wow, remember when you were a kid, you'd think that was a fake word.

01:56:47.000 Yeah, bro.

01:56:48.000 I want a quadrillion money.

01:56:50.000 Would you believe that the earth weighs?

01:56:53.000 The atmosphere weighs 15 quintillion tons.

01:56:57.000 Let's see, this evolves.

01:56:58.000 Does the atmosphere, yeah, that's the atmosphere because the planet Earth weighs six sextillion.

01:57:05.000 Kanye said the wildest on my podcast once.

01:57:07.000 He goes, How much does the Earth cost?

01:57:12.000 Right?

01:57:12.000 And at the time, I was like, What?

01:57:14.000 And then I thought about it.

01:57:15.000 I was like, Oh, like property is valuable, you can own property, right?

01:57:21.000 Like, everybody kind of everything is owned.

01:57:24.000 How much is the Earth?

01:57:25.000 That's a big, that's a, well, you could get the number there too because, well, if you count the minerals.

01:57:31.000 Right.

01:57:32.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:57:33.000 And you got a whole other hustle.

01:57:34.000 And then there's the oil in the ocean.

01:57:36.000 The ocean.

01:57:37.000 And the fish.

01:57:38.000 Yeah, right.

01:57:39.000 And then all the animals.

01:57:41.000 Wow.

01:57:43.000 And then it has to appreciate day by day.

01:57:47.000 Why don't I put that into perplexity?

01:57:49.000 If you were going to sell the earth, how much would it be worth?

01:57:52.000 Ooh.

01:57:53.000 Occluding everything on it. 1.00

01:57:56.000 That's a mind fucking half. 0.96

01:57:58.000 Economists usually estimate the world's real estate, all land plus the buildings on it, a few hundred trillion US dollars, not counting oceans, polar ice, or unowned space. 0.98

01:58:09.000 That sounds like a bargain.

01:58:10.000 Yeah.

01:58:11.000 A few hundred trillion, that's it?

01:58:13.000 Okay, let's say, let's ask what is the worth of the earth, all its property, all its minerals, animals, and objects?

01:58:29.000 That's a crazy question.

01:58:32.000 That's a crazy question.

01:58:33.000 Yeah, it's a good one, though.

01:58:34.000 Yeah, everything on earth, every watch, every diamond ring, every hat.

01:58:40.000 One dollar.

01:58:40.000 Every piece of art.

01:58:43.000 Well, I mean, the question I typed in was property and lands.

01:58:46.000 Right.

01:58:47.000 What is the value of everything on earth?

01:58:53.000 I like what you said, every electronic value of everything on earth, including.

01:59:02.000 Including animals, minerals, property, and objects.

01:59:12.000 Oh boy.

01:59:13.000 I wonder how it's going to figure this out.

01:59:17.000 I bet it will.

01:59:18.000 It's going to look off of.

01:59:19.000 It's going to freak out.

01:59:20.000 It's going to blow a gasket.

01:59:21.000 It's not figuring it out.

01:59:22.000 Yeah, it does give you some information.

01:59:23.000 There's no precise number.

01:59:24.000 Oh, somewhere in the quadrillions to sextillions of US dollars, depending on what you count and how you value it.

01:59:33.000 It says plausible attempts to add it up.

01:59:35.000 Right.

01:59:36.000 There's no single agreed upon price tag for everything on Earth, but this is the answer to Kanye's question.

01:59:41.000 But you know what, though?

01:59:44.000 Now, hold on, we just learned something there.

01:59:46.000 It said quadrillion to what?

01:59:48.000 Sextillions.

01:59:49.000 Now, ask, how much does the planet Earth weigh?

01:59:51.000 I mean, I already did that, but we've passed it before I could show you.

01:59:51.000 Yeah, that's why.

01:59:56.000 Atmosphere weighs 12 quintillion pounds in total.

02:00:02.000 Yeah, I said 15, so I was off.

02:00:04.000 I forgot that number.

02:00:05.000 But ask, how much does the planet Earth weigh?

02:00:08.000 Whoa.

02:00:11.000 How much does the entire earth weigh?

02:00:21.000 Let's guess.

02:00:24.000 No, not, no, don't do the atmosphere.

02:00:26.000 We're just trying to get the value.

02:00:27.000 I want to see, I want to see if he gives you.

02:00:29.000 I mean, the atmosphere should already be included, right?

02:00:31.000 I think that's why I think it won't include it.

02:00:39.000 So basically, what is that word?

02:00:42.000 What is that in a word?

02:00:43.000 Ask that what that is that 13.

02:00:46.000 Yeah, tell him put it, put that, put it in pounds, not kilograms.

02:00:49.000 Because that's not even seven, that's eight.

02:00:51.000 What does that mean?

02:00:53.000 Right, but what does that ask it to say?

02:00:59.000 Can you say that?

02:01:03.000 Yeah, what does it mean?

02:01:04.000 How do you say it? 0.64

02:01:06.000 Septillion.

02:01:08.000 13 septillion pounds.

02:01:12.000 That doesn't sound impressive.

02:01:13.000 No.

02:01:14.000 No.

02:01:16.000 It doesn't.

02:01:17.000 It sounds like a couple lizards.

02:01:19.000 But you know, I believe it's wrong, bro.

02:01:20.000 Why?

02:01:21.000 Because when you take the square mouse, the circumference, Right?

02:01:26.000 And you multiply the, there's a formula to get that weight.

02:01:30.000 Right.

02:01:30.000 It doesn't come out to that.

02:01:32.000 What does it come out to?

02:01:33.000 Six sextillion.

02:01:34.000 Six followed by 21 zeros.

02:01:37.000 This is more.

02:01:39.000 This was three more zeros on top of that.

02:01:41.000 Yeah.

02:01:42.000 But it sounds good.

02:01:44.000 But if you take the formula of a sphere, of the mass, like this number is closer.

02:01:55.000 But does it take into account the density of the inner earth?

02:02:00.000 Because I think that's probably where a lot of the weight is coming from, right?

02:02:03.000 The density of the inner earth is immense.

02:02:06.000 Yeah, I mean, it's all compressed down.

02:02:08.000 Yeah, it's compressed into the core.

02:02:10.000 If it's hollow, it could be hollow.

02:02:13.000 If it's hollow.

02:02:14.000 Okay, hold on.

02:02:15.000 We got to take a sponsored break.

02:02:18.000 This is the Rizza live on the Joe Rogan podcast, Joe Rogan Experience.

02:02:22.000 I have a new movie coming out May 1st.

02:02:24.000 May 1st.

02:02:25.000 It's called One Spoon of Chocolate, starring Shamik Moore, Paris Jackson.

02:02:29.000 Blair Underwood. 0.95

02:02:31.000 It follows an ex military convict who comes home and is trying to find a better life for himself, ends up in a small town where everything goes fucking bananas. 0.66

02:02:42.000 In theaters, everywhere. 0.90

02:02:44.000 May 1st.

02:02:44.000 When is it going to be available on streaming?

02:02:47.000 I don't know.

02:02:48.000 Soon, right?

02:02:49.000 How do you usually do that?

02:02:50.000 Well, to be honest, I'm like.

02:02:53.000 Like Iron Fist was, what year was that out?

02:02:55.000 That was 2011, 2012.

02:02:57.000 And it was a different atmosphere back then.

02:02:58.000 Pre COVID.

02:02:59.000 COVID changed a lot of like movie going habits.

02:03:01.000 Changed everything, yeah.

02:03:03.000 I want the movie going experience to come back though.

02:03:06.000 Yeah, I do too.

02:03:08.000 I mean, there's something about going to see a great movie with a bunch of people that's a real experience.

02:03:08.000 Yeah.

02:03:12.000 Yeah.

02:03:13.000 I think I'm so much. 0.97

02:03:15.000 I mean, my art, my career is based on sneaking into a fucking movie theater and watching three Kung Fu movies. 0.98

02:03:23.000 Yeah. 0.98

02:03:24.000 So I'm a big into cinema.

02:03:26.000 I think what we did so this particular film is actually coming through my own distribution company called 36 Cinema.

02:03:33.000 And I think we did a deal with the theaters that they can have at least 30 days.

02:03:38.000 A lot of people are doing 17 days in the theaters or 21 days.

02:03:43.000 And cinema is suffering because of that.

02:03:45.000 Because why would we go to the theater if I got it at home?

02:03:48.000 You know what I mean?

02:03:49.000 And home is, of course, a great place to watch a movie.

02:03:53.000 But when you're making a movie, right, you're making it for the theater.

02:03:57.000 We haven't.

02:03:58.000 TV is made for home, but cinema is made for cinema.

02:04:01.000 Like we haven't.

02:04:03.000 What can I say?

02:04:04.000 Like the sound, the color, the framing.

02:04:07.000 Like, I use anamorphic lenses.

02:04:09.000 What does that mean? 0.99

02:04:10.000 Anamorphic, like the lenses of the 50s, when you fucking get this whole fucking scope. 0.98

02:04:15.000 You know what I mean? 0.98

02:04:16.000 And so, yeah, you can watch it on your phone.

02:04:19.000 What is the difference with an anamorphic lens and a regular lens?

02:04:21.000 A regular lens would be the way it bends the light in all reality.

02:04:26.000 So, like, you could have, like, 16.9.

02:04:31.000 Okay, see, most lenses are spherical now.

02:04:34.000 That's that, right?

02:04:35.000 Which is cool.

02:04:37.000 Right?

02:04:37.000 But look at anamorphic.

02:04:40.000 It's the way it controls the light, the way the subject is happening.

02:04:43.000 And so, it kind of gives you more of a cinematic feel.

02:04:46.000 Well, your focus, it's certainly, like, a little more blurry in the background.

02:04:50.000 Yep.

02:04:51.000 Yeah, okay.

02:04:54.000 And it kind of, it's the way it's compressing that light differently.

02:04:58.000 And so you, with this lens, do you do everything on film or is it digital?

02:05:04.000 I actually shot this on digital.

02:05:07.000 So, yeah, so, I mean, I'm in the digital age, so I did shoot digital.

02:05:10.000 But I did, we did make 35 millimeter prints of the movie.

02:05:16.000 So, if you're in California and you would go to the theater called The Vista, have you ever been to The Vista?

02:05:20.000 No.

02:05:22.000 Cool theater.

02:05:22.000 Where's that?

02:05:23.000 I think it's in Las Files or some shit like that. 0.90

02:05:25.000 Okay. 0.96

02:05:27.000 I'm bad at my Hollywood neighborhoods.

02:05:28.000 I'm like, I'm still a New Yorker.

02:05:30.000 Right, I get it.

02:05:31.000 But, um, the Vista Theater will show the film on 35mm for like two weeks.

02:05:36.000 It'll be there starting May 1st.

02:05:37.000 Oh, that's awesome.

02:05:38.000 So if you want to see it, yeah, if you want to see.

02:05:40.000 And 35mm, oh, there you go, the Vista.

02:05:42.000 I love this guy.

02:05:43.000 Hey, Jamie.

02:05:44.000 Jamie's the best. 1.00

02:05:45.000 Yeah, his trigger finger is a motherfucker. 1.00

02:05:47.000 Oh, he's a goat. 1.00

02:05:48.000 Well, he's psychic. 0.93

02:05:49.000 He knows what you're talking about before you.

02:05:51.000 Exactly.

02:05:52.000 He's like, duh.

02:05:54.000 Yeah.

02:05:55.000 Um,.

02:05:56.000 So that's the Vista.

02:05:57.000 So, what is the difference, like the way it looks to you when you see it on 35mm versus digital?

02:06:03.000 Well, I think the 35mm kind of makes the colors a little more richer and darker, like kind of how the 70s films look, even up to the 80s.

02:06:15.000 The digital one, because I've watched my film on both formats, the digital is more brighter and actually more familiar now to us.

02:06:23.000 We're accustomed to it.

02:06:23.000 Right.

02:06:24.000 We're accustomed to it.

02:06:26.000 But when I played it on April 22nd, I had a.

02:06:31.000 In fact, I want to talk about that a little bit if you don't mind.

02:06:33.000 But on April 22nd, we had our premiere in California on 35mm.

02:06:39.000 And it was my first time seeing it on 35mm.

02:06:41.000 I mean, so.

02:06:43.000 And it felt.

02:06:45.000 It felt very nostalgic.

02:06:46.000 I felt like I was back.

02:06:48.000 It felt like a movie only.

02:06:51.000 Like, I mean, not like a movie and a TV show or a movie.

02:06:55.000 It felt only like a movie.

02:06:57.000 Only a movie experience, the flickering.

02:07:01.000 When you're doing 35mm, you need.

02:07:05.000 You know, a real camera.

02:07:06.000 And so the light is going from this camera, from this one.

02:07:06.000 Right.

02:07:09.000 Then they got to switch the reel from this, from this.

02:07:11.000 And it's like, it's a certain thing that's happening, a certain pacing, a certain granular thing that's happening that for me, for my film, it felt almost like an honor to watch it like that.

02:07:21.000 Oh, that's cool.

02:07:23.000 I want to make a.

02:07:26.000 So check this out, bro.

02:07:30.000 So we talked about this last time I said, but April 22nd, right?

02:07:34.000 That was the day.

02:07:36.000 That I was acquitted from a crime and started my life over.

02:07:44.000 I was facing eight years.

02:07:46.000 April 22nd, that's back in 1992.

02:07:50.000 Okay?

02:07:51.000 As you can see, a year later, I'm a platinum producer.

02:07:54.000 But before that, I was heading to hell.

02:07:58.000 April 22nd, serendipitously, is the day that my film premieres on 35mm.

02:08:08.000 At the Vista Theater in Hollywood, April 22nd.

02:08:11.000 But you've seen the opening of the film as well.

02:08:13.000 So, when my character gets out of jail, he marks on the calendar the day he gets out, April 22nd.

02:08:22.000 It's special.

02:08:24.000 This is a special film.

02:08:25.000 It's special.

02:08:26.000 It's for my life, I'm saying.

02:08:27.000 For me, it's like.

02:08:28.000 Oh, that's cool.

02:08:29.000 And it was my buddy Shavo from System of a Down birthday.

02:08:33.000 We actually celebrate April 22nd every year because it wasn't my birthday, but it was the birth of the Rizzo, because before that, I was known as Prince Rakim.

02:08:42.000 But after that, And my mother telling me, you know, you got a second chance. 0.86

02:08:47.000 I was like, exit Prince Raheem into the Rizza. 0.81

02:08:51.000 Nice.

02:08:52.000 That's amazing.

02:08:53.000 Yeah.

02:08:54.000 So, when you were talking about the streaming thing, so do you, is that something that's negotiated beforehand?

02:09:02.000 Like, it'll be in the theaters for X amount of time?

02:09:04.000 Or do you, once it's in the theater, do you then, like, depending on how well it does in the theater, is that how you negotiate a streaming deal or how does it work?

02:09:12.000 No, it works.

02:09:13.000 No, it works.

02:09:14.000 It's usually negotiated ahead of time.

02:09:16.000 Okay.

02:09:17.000 And the streamers kind of dictate what's going to happen.

02:09:20.000 So, since we had this on our own company, we had a chance to make the rules ourselves.

02:09:26.000 So, I didn't make a streaming deal, but I made the theatrical deal first.

02:09:31.000 And I gave the theaters 30 days first.

02:09:34.000 And so now, my streamer, he would go, my streaming distribution, which is our Samuel Goodwin, they would go and I hope I pronounced that right, bro. 0.92

02:09:43.000 I could fuck a word up sometime. 0.95

02:09:48.000 I think that's the right word. 0.98

02:09:49.000 Okay.

02:09:52.000 I'm the wrong guy to ask, though.

02:09:52.000 What up, Peter?

02:09:54.000 Yeah, I can fuck a word up. 0.95

02:09:55.000 But anyway, so, yeah, he'll solicit to streamers, but we wanted a 30 day cinema experience.

02:10:05.000 And in the future, I'm going to try for 45 days, bro.

02:10:08.000 Remember when we were kids, bro?

02:10:10.000 Star Wars was in the theaters three times before you had a chance to see it come home.

02:10:14.000 Yeah.

02:10:15.000 And what did you do?

02:10:16.000 You went back to the theater.

02:10:17.000 Yeah.

02:10:18.000 Because the lights, the sound, the vibe of what you're creating, I make it for the theater.

02:10:23.000 I got to be honest with you.

02:10:25.000 I make film for the theater.

02:10:27.000 When my other film came out during the pandemic, Cutthroat City, since it was a pandemic, you know, even though my contract said it should be in theaters, the pandemic of it kind of made it a force majeure, like maybe not in theaters. 0.97

02:10:44.000 But my producer, Michael Mendelssohn, who, you know, is a good guy, he said, All right, but I said, Yo, bro, I didn't make this shit for no streaming, bro. 0.98

02:10:55.000 Okay, I shot my shit on anamorphic lenses. 0.98

02:10:58.000 I got all the sound like I made it for the theaters. 0.99

02:11:01.000 He was like, yeah, but the theaters ain't popping, bro.

02:11:04.000 Nobody's going to the theaters.

02:11:06.000 I was like, well, I don't know.

02:11:07.000 Then hold it.

02:11:08.000 But he said, I can't hold it, bro.

02:11:09.000 Like, you know, it's business.

02:11:11.000 But he still, no, but he still said, okay, I'm going to pitch you on 200 screens.

02:11:16.000 And you could go and get to, you know, and he did it.

02:11:19.000 You know what I mean?

02:11:21.000 So all my films has always go to the cinema first.

02:11:24.000 And if I have my way, every film I make will always start at a cinema.

02:11:29.000 Have you ever tried using those?

02:11:31.000 What is the Apple one, Jamie?

02:11:34.000 Those Apple AR goggles?

02:11:36.000 Apple Vision Pro.

02:11:37.000 Yeah.

02:11:38.000 I heard watching movies on those is phenomenal.

02:11:42.000 Okay.

02:11:42.000 Yes.

02:11:44.000 But you have to also design it for that, too.

02:11:46.000 Yeah.

02:11:46.000 Oh, really?

02:11:47.000 I mean, to get the full experience because, come on, you're going like this.

02:11:51.000 And there's been some artists who have been able to create stuff for that.

02:11:54.000 It's almost like, I mean, I won't say it's like the Sphere.

02:11:57.000 Have you been to the Sphere?

02:11:58.000 Yes.

02:11:59.000 But only for a fight.

02:12:00.000 No.

02:12:00.000 Right.

02:12:01.000 It was amazing.

02:12:01.000 They had a UFC there.

02:12:03.000 I love it there.

02:12:04.000 But Darren Ionoski had a movie made directly for the sphere.

02:12:08.000 In fact, there's another movie.

02:12:10.000 They're doing another movie right now that they showed me a clip of that's going to be made in a sphere.

02:12:15.000 And it's actually very sports based.

02:12:17.000 And so it's crazy.

02:12:18.000 And of course, The Wizard of Oz.

02:12:20.000 I heard that's nuts.

02:12:21.000 Yeah, I've seen that there.

02:12:22.000 You saw The Wizard of Oz?

02:12:23.000 I heard there's all sorts of crazy new effects and they added a bunch of stuff to the movie.

02:12:27.000 It's amazing.

02:12:28.000 Yeah.

02:12:29.000 It's amazing. 0.99

02:12:30.000 And it's fucking. 0.99

02:12:31.000 But The Sphere is amazing anyway, right? 0.99

02:12:33.000 It's an incredible experience.

02:12:34.000 This is a new thing AMC has just shown recently and announced called Screen X.

02:12:38.000 It's 270 degrees.

02:12:40.000 It's going to surround the.

02:12:42.000 The audience in some way.

02:12:43.000 Well, that's how you get people to go back to the movie theater.

02:12:46.000 Give them something like this where they're like, what?

02:12:49.000 It's kind of like recut, so it might be a fun way to go back and maybe see a movie you really liked.

02:12:54.000 Oh, like see Avatar in that?

02:12:56.000 Like that.

02:12:56.000 Alien.

02:12:56.000 They got the Matrix like that now.

02:12:58.000 That's Cosm.

02:12:59.000 That's kind of like the fear thing.

02:13:01.000 Oh.

02:13:02.000 This just sort of is announced.

02:13:03.000 It's only in two cities right now.

02:13:05.000 There's a place, I know there's a place in Dallas where they show UFC fights.

02:13:11.000 That's Cosm.

02:13:12.000 That's Cosm?

02:13:12.000 Yeah, that's where that Matrix thing is.

02:13:14.000 That's nuts, man. 1.00

02:13:15.000 I love that he got the asses. 1.00

02:13:16.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:13:17.000 He's a genius.

02:13:18.000 But with the place in Dallas, the Cosm place, you're seated here, and the screen is like 60 feet tall, and it's right in front of you.

02:13:27.000 And you're watching the fights as if.

02:13:30.000 This is the Matrix.

02:13:31.000 Oh, so this is the Matrix.

02:13:32.000 Yeah, they worked with the film company to sort of remake it and add extra stuff.

02:13:37.000 Oh, wow.

02:13:39.000 There's also a new screen I just saw.

02:13:41.000 I think it's going to be in Clearwater, Florida.

02:13:43.000 It's going to be the world's biggest screen.

02:13:45.000 Oh.

02:13:46.000 See if you can show.

02:13:47.000 I'll show you the fight thing.

02:13:48.000 Yeah, show me fight scenes.

02:13:50.000 Like, people were watching the fights there.

02:13:53.000 I was like, okay, that might actually be better than being there live.

02:13:58.000 Like, look how crazy the size of the screen is.

02:14:00.000 Right.

02:14:01.000 Like, look who you're watching.

02:14:03.000 Like, you're sitting right there.

02:14:05.000 I mean, that fight is gigantic, it's huge.

02:14:08.000 Because the thing about going to see the fights live, look at how big that is.

02:14:13.000 Yeah, show that again.

02:14:14.000 Like, look at that.

02:14:15.000 Look how nuts that is.

02:14:16.000 Right.

02:14:17.000 That is nuts.

02:14:18.000 You don't get to see these camera angles at home either, which is awesome.

02:14:22.000 Not like that.

02:14:24.000 Not like that.

02:14:24.000 I love this because this has given me hope, bro.

02:14:27.000 Everything you just showed me is giving me hope for cinema.

02:14:30.000 Right.

02:14:31.000 And this is cheaper than buying tickets, and this is better than any ticket you could ever buy for the fights.

02:14:37.000 Better than anything.

02:14:38.000 Better than my seat.

02:14:39.000 And I'm sitting cage side.

02:14:41.000 How much a ticket like this would cost?

02:14:43.000 That's a good question.

02:14:44.000 They do sell tickets for this.

02:14:48.000 Click on that one.

02:14:50.000 May 9th.

02:14:52.000 How much does that cost?

02:14:53.000 $40.

02:14:54.000 $100.

02:14:54.000 If you want to sit probably real close, you have $20 to get inside.

02:14:57.000 Okay, general admission is $20.

02:14:59.000 What is the front row?

02:15:00.000 Where's the displays right there?

02:15:02.000 What are those?

02:15:03.000 Like right there where it says $2?

02:15:05.000 I don't know where you'd want to be.

02:15:07.000 $167.

02:15:08.000 How much?

02:15:09.000 $167?

02:15:11.000 That's a bargain compared to how much it would cost if you actually went to see the fight.

02:15:15.000 Nice.

02:15:16.000 And it's probably a better experience.

02:15:18.000 Plus, you get commentary, you get to hear everything, and you're right there.

02:15:21.000 And then.

02:15:22.000 It's not just like being at home, which is great because there's a bunch of people you're experiencing with, so it adds to the experience and the energy.

02:15:29.000 That's the knock I was going to say with the Vision Pro it's still to right now, you're by yourself.

02:15:34.000 It's kind of, for me, I'm a single guy in my apartment with a dog, perfect.

02:15:39.000 But if you're at home with anybody, you're like, well, I can watch it.

02:15:43.000 I don't have five of these.

02:15:46.000 Catch out to me later. 1.00

02:15:48.000 Could you watch it with a chick where you hold hands and you both have Vision Pro and you both start at the same time? 1.00

02:15:52.000 Three, two, one, go.

02:15:55.000 That's funny.

02:15:56.000 That's me and my wife on a plane.

02:15:58.000 Oh, you do that?

02:16:00.000 Even on the way here, bro, what do we watch?

02:16:02.000 We watch, oh, Sebastian.

02:16:05.000 How do you say Sebastian?

02:16:06.000 And the last name is he's a.

02:16:07.000 Manus Calco.

02:16:08.000 Yeah, thank you.

02:16:09.000 Oh, a comedian.

02:16:10.000 We watched him.

02:16:10.000 Yeah.

02:16:12.000 He's a funny guy.

02:16:12.000 Hilarious.

02:16:13.000 He's a funny motherfucker, bro. 1.00

02:16:14.000 Very funny. 1.00

02:16:16.000 Yeah, so we do that every time, though.

02:16:17.000 But we watched him on the way.

02:16:18.000 So I don't want, she wouldn't want to see me laughing and she ain't laughing yet.

02:16:21.000 So we hit the button at the same time.

02:16:27.000 And, you know, that's the thing.

02:16:28.000 They should have like a simultaneous viewing option.

02:16:31.000 Are you going to watch it with someone else?

02:16:32.000 Would you like to view it simultaneously?

02:16:34.000 And then have them sync up with each other.

02:16:36.000 One plane does that.

02:16:37.000 One plane does that.

02:16:39.000 What airline was that?

02:16:41.000 Oh, okay.

02:16:41.000 Qantas.

02:16:45.000 I think Qantas is up on that.

02:16:47.000 Well, they got those 16 hour flights.

02:16:49.000 They got to make things interesting.

02:16:50.000 Yeah, they got to say, it's actually, it says watch with a friend.

02:16:54.000 Oh, that's smart.

02:16:55.000 That's smart.

02:16:56.000 Yeah, it's interesting.

02:16:57.000 Like, what is the next level past AR with those goggles?

02:17:01.000 It's going to be an immersive experience where you're actually.

02:17:04.000 We had the people from Perplexity who were here earlier today, and we were talking about how people with AI and all this stuff, they're going to want more.

02:17:14.000 Human experiences, like going to see a live concert or seeing a sporting event live.

02:17:21.000 I'm like, yeah, until it's completely immersive.

02:17:27.000 And then it's like you're playing a video game, but you're in World of Warcraft or you're in Battlefield Earth or whatever game you're playing.

02:17:35.000 I think for that form of entertainment, a video game, yes.

02:17:38.000 But I still think because even, you know, it's more senses, bro.

02:17:43.000 It ain't just the sight and sound, it's the smell.

02:17:47.000 Yeah, but what if they can recreate that?

02:17:48.000 Like, what if they get the technology where you can create a movie, but the person who is watching the movie is standing on the street, like in the opening scene where those girls pick that dude up in that sob convertible?

02:18:05.000 Like, what if you're standing, you feel the street, and you watch the dude get in the car?

02:18:10.000 But you're saying at home by yourself?

02:18:10.000 Right.

02:18:12.000 Yeah.

02:18:13.000 Well, you'll be terrified in my film.

02:18:15.000 Yeah, of course.

02:18:17.000 But you'll be in it.

02:18:18.000 You'll be in it.

02:18:18.000 Yeah.

02:18:19.000 That'd be interesting.

02:18:20.000 I think that's coming, man.

02:18:21.000 I think that's coming. 0.98

02:18:23.000 Well, if that comes, reach out to me and I'll write a script to make sure that we fucking hit you with it right. 0.86

02:18:29.000 You're going to have to capitalize on all the different things that can take place. 0.94

02:18:29.000 Right. 0.94

02:18:34.000 What do you think about that? 0.96

02:18:36.000 Do you remember the Saab fucking 900? 0.97

02:18:38.000 Oh, yeah. 0.93

02:18:39.000 A friend of mine had one of those.

02:18:41.000 It was a cool car when they were done.

02:18:43.000 They were interesting looking.

02:18:44.000 They were like futuristic, they were different than any other car.

02:18:47.000 That's why in the film, I was like, well, what kind of car are you on?

02:18:50.000 I was like, give me a Saab.

02:18:53.000 I said, why?

02:18:53.000 Can they still make them?

02:18:53.000 I said, well.

02:18:55.000 I don't think so.

02:18:56.000 I think they might have.

02:18:57.000 No, I don't think they definitely don't make new ones.

02:19:00.000 Uh oh, hold on.

02:19:01.000 Let's get that.

02:19:03.000 I don't know.

02:19:04.000 That's a good question.

02:19:05.000 I know they make Volvo still.

02:19:07.000 Yeah, I was in a Volvo.

02:19:08.000 I don't know if they still make sobs.

02:19:10.000 I was bankrupt in 2011.

02:19:11.000 Yeah, no more sobs.

02:19:13.000 But the punchline for me was that this sop, and I'll give you one spoiler of the film.

02:19:20.000 As you finish the second half of it, there's no time.

02:19:25.000 So, I removed the time from the film so you don't know what year you're in. 0.98

02:19:29.000 And that's why you'll see the sob, but then you'll see when they're playing their video game and shit, they're playing their fucking AR goggles. 0.97

02:19:39.000 And a glove that don't exist. 0.99

02:19:41.000 Right.

02:19:41.000 I thought that too.

02:19:42.000 When I was seeing them move, I go, is that real?

02:19:44.000 Yeah, the idea is that I'm glad you brought that up.

02:19:47.000 I want that to happen.

02:19:48.000 I want to see one day I could play a basketball game like this.

02:19:53.000 Right, right, right.

02:19:54.000 That'd be dope, right?

02:19:55.000 That would be.

02:19:56.000 They're getting real close to stuff like that.

02:19:58.000 They're getting real close to stuff like that.

02:20:00.000 We have an AR game out there that you, it's a zombie game.

02:20:06.000 And you put the headphones on, the headset on, and you run around and you have an actual gun and you're shooting zombies.

02:20:13.000 Right, yeah.

02:20:14.000 And you're pointing it at it.

02:20:15.000 And it's like, they're getting really close.

02:20:17.000 I'll show you something I discovered.

02:20:19.000 Shout out to this guy.

02:20:19.000 I think he's doing this all on his own.

02:20:22.000 I found him and tweeted at him one day, but he didn't answer.

02:20:24.000 Daniel Habib is his name.

02:20:26.000 He's got this company called True 3D.

02:20:28.000 He's done this with two movies so far, and I think you have to be in the theater to experience it.

02:20:33.000 But it's kind of exactly what we're talking about.

02:20:35.000 He converted a movie, I think Insidious, a scary movie.

02:20:38.000 Oh, that's a scary movie.

02:20:41.000 He's not showing you what because he's being smart.

02:20:43.000 He's also developing it still.

02:20:44.000 And he also did it with Interstellar just recently.

02:20:46.000 Whoa.

02:20:47.000 I almost flew to New York just so I could go see it because I was very curious.

02:20:52.000 It was awesome.

02:20:52.000 This is cool.

02:20:53.000 So he adapted it to the Vision Pro?

02:20:53.000 Yeah, it looks cool.

02:20:55.000 It's just in MetaQuest headsets, I believe, and you probably have to be at the the theater because I think that's where the sound's coming from.

02:21:00.000 You probably had looked it up.

02:21:03.000 As the user watching it, you get to decide how.

02:21:07.000 In depth, this becomes because if you want to see the people next to you, you can sort of like go like level two and still see your neighbor.

02:21:14.000 Oh, four and be like fully in the room and you can't see anybody else.

02:21:17.000 You can maybe just touch them because you know they're there.

02:21:19.000 I like how some people are jumping, then there's some people that are like dead on the inside and moving because these are jump scares.

02:21:25.000 He has that built in, so you know when a jump scare is coming or you don't know when a jump scare is coming.

02:21:31.000 Oh, interesting.

02:21:32.000 You have to be super scared, or you can know and not be scared that you know someone's going to come from behind you.

02:21:39.000 Why would you?

02:21:40.000 Ass up.

02:21:41.000 Maybe it's on. 1.00

02:21:42.000 This seems like it could fucking give you a heart attack. 0.99

02:21:44.000 Yeah, maybe it's people with weak hearts. 1.00

02:21:46.000 Let me know.

02:21:46.000 It could be.

02:21:47.000 Let me know when I'm going to get it free.

02:21:48.000 And also, Dolby.

02:21:50.000 I saw.

02:21:50.000 You seen it.

02:21:51.000 I saw Dolby made this thing.

02:21:53.000 Have you seen these Dolby glasses, bro?

02:21:53.000 These glasses.

02:21:55.000 No.

02:21:56.000 That. 1.00

02:21:57.000 That you could hear shit, bro. 1.00

02:22:01.000 Like surround sound with glasses on. 0.99

02:22:06.000 Yeah, I mean, I hope I don't not be feeling a secret.

02:22:06.000 Dolby.

02:22:09.000 What is it doing different?

02:22:10.000 Like, what do you mean you can hear things?

02:22:12.000 You can watch, see, and hear.

02:22:14.000 Yeah.

02:22:14.000 And don't be.

02:22:15.000 So it's surround sound glasses.

02:22:17.000 Yeah.

02:22:18.000 And so the glasses, is it projecting it into your inner ear?

02:22:21.000 Like, how is it doing?

02:22:23.000 Does it plug into your ear?

02:22:24.000 No, it doesn't even plug into your ear.

02:22:26.000 So it's one of those things that sits above the ear on the outside, like pressing against your skull?

02:22:31.000 Yeah.

02:22:31.000 They kind of.

02:22:31.000 They have headphones like that, right?

02:22:33.000 I've seen that.

02:22:34.000 Yeah.

02:22:34.000 I've seen some headphones that give you 12.1 or 12.1.

02:22:37.000 Yeah, like earbuds.

02:22:38.000 And they don't go in your ear, they like sit on the skull.

02:22:42.000 Yeah, see if you can find those Dolby glasses.

02:22:45.000 I don't know if.

02:22:46.000 I went to Dolby some months ago and they.

02:22:50.000 Is this a spoiler alert? 0.99

02:22:52.000 That's why I said you can't edit this shit. 0.99

02:22:55.000 We could if we can't. 0.99

02:22:57.000 If you're not supposed to know.

02:22:58.000 I don't know.

02:22:59.000 There's something in here that doesn't.

02:23:00.000 It's showing some 3D glasses they have, but it didn't say the sound is coming out of them.

02:23:05.000 I would imagine if Dolby's name sound is involved.

02:23:07.000 It has to be, right?

02:23:08.000 Yeah.

02:23:09.000 Dolby Cinema.

02:23:10.000 Oh, it's 3D.

02:23:11.000 They're 3D glasses.

02:23:13.000 I don't know.

02:23:14.000 No, no, no, bro.

02:23:14.000 Listen.

02:23:15.000 I put them on, bro. 1.00

02:23:16.000 You can hear shit. 1.00

02:23:18.000 So, did you put them on to watch a movie? 1.00

02:23:20.000 Like, what did you put them on to watch?

02:23:22.000 Yeah, I put them on, like, they had a whole demo room.

02:23:25.000 I was looking at something.

02:23:27.000 And it sounded like I was in the room with it, it sounded like I was in the movie theater, but I took the glasses off.

02:23:35.000 Oh, look, this is what it is.

02:23:36.000 So, it's showing you everything in 3D.

02:23:38.000 You need to have the glasses, I think, to get the test.

02:23:43.000 And the sound is connected.

02:23:46.000 So, that's 2021.

02:23:47.000 So, this is five years old already.

02:23:51.000 Again, this might not be.

02:23:52.000 So, this is a vision, but what about this Adobe Atmos?

02:23:55.000 Atmos is the sound.

02:23:57.000 Plus Dolby Vision HDR.

02:24:01.000 12.61.

02:24:03.000 What year is that?

02:24:08.000 Hmm.

02:24:11.000 That's what year?

02:24:12.000 2024.

02:24:14.000 Whoa.

02:24:17.000 Oh, okay.

02:24:21.000 That's different.

02:24:23.000 That's for your home.

02:24:24.000 That's having your system. 1.00

02:24:26.000 But they got some shit with it. 1.00

02:24:27.000 It's in the glasses, bro. 0.99

02:24:29.000 Anyway.

02:24:29.000 Hmm.

02:24:30.000 Well, we're in an interesting time when it comes to technology and all this.

02:24:34.000 And entertainment.

02:24:34.000 Yeah.

02:24:35.000 AR, VR stuff and where it's going.

02:24:39.000 Are you?

02:24:39.000 I'm happy about it.

02:24:40.000 Yeah.

02:24:41.000 It's interesting.

02:24:42.000 I mean, I know a lot of people are freaked out about AI.

02:24:44.000 There's a lot of that.

02:24:45.000 A lot of people are freaked out about AI music.

02:24:48.000 A lot of people are freaked out about AI replacing actors and their ability to generate images and video.

02:24:55.000 I. I.

02:24:58.000 I believe AI to be a tool.

02:25:00.000 I'm from the hip hop generation, right?

02:25:02.000 So we're sampling a record, and therefore it's a digital replication of the record.

02:25:09.000 It's not the record.

02:25:10.000 Right?

02:25:10.000 Right.

02:25:11.000 And especially when we're sampling at 16 bit or 12 bit or some bit that's not even where the computer or the AI or the chip has to fill in the pieces.

02:25:25.000 This is why you get that sound you hear from hip hop.

02:25:28.000 So I always embraced it, the technology.

02:25:32.000 I also know that it's nothing like the real thing.

02:25:35.000 You know, I put on a, you know, even if I put on a piece of vinyl and put that needle on it and play it, because at my house I have it, I got all types of setups, right? 0.98

02:25:47.000 But when we really want to have a good time, we just put on the fucking vinyl. 0.92

02:25:52.000 And it sounds so much better, different, or. 0.99

02:25:57.000 It's got depth to it.

02:25:58.000 Exactly.

02:25:59.000 It crackles.

02:26:00.000 It's something else.

02:26:00.000 Exactly.

02:26:01.000 So it's nothing like the real thing.

02:26:01.000 Yeah.

02:26:04.000 But.

02:26:05.000 In between time, in the meantime, let's enjoy.

02:26:10.000 You know, like you said, if I could make you feel like you're in Hawaii and you don't have to leave your house, cool.

02:26:18.000 But if you could go to Hawaii, right, right, right.

02:26:20.000 You know what I mean?

02:26:21.000 Go to Hawaii.

02:26:21.000 Yeah.

02:26:23.000 You know, I was trying to tell the AI industry or AI community that we got to change the A.

02:26:30.000 It shouldn't be considered artificial, it's digital intelligence.

02:26:37.000 Well, keep the A because you can't do that.

02:26:39.000 But don't change.

02:26:41.000 The A could be assisted, accumulated, depending on the situation.

02:26:48.000 Find the A word that makes it describe what you're doing.

02:26:54.000 Like, for instance, right now it's assisting him.

02:26:57.000 Right.

02:26:58.000 It's assisting intelligence.

02:27:01.000 Right.

02:27:01.000 Artificial sounds cheap.

02:27:03.000 Yeah, it's all.

02:27:03.000 Bro, you don't want artificial nothing.

02:27:06.000 If you came to your girl.

02:27:07.000 And you propose to her with some artificial diamonds. 0.84

02:27:10.000 Right.

02:27:11.000 It ain't working. 1.00

02:27:12.000 Girls don't even like real diamonds that are man made. 1.00

02:27:12.000 Okay? 1.00

02:27:17.000 That is?

02:27:17.000 Isn't that weird?

02:27:18.000 They have a hard time selling real diamonds that are made in a laboratory.

02:27:23.000 I don't.

02:27:24.000 Yeah, is that a real diamond?

02:27:25.000 It's a real diamond.

02:27:26.000 I mean, molecularly?

02:27:27.000 Yeah.

02:27:28.000 It's a real diamond.

02:27:29.000 It's just not created by the earth over time.

02:27:29.000 Yeah.

02:27:32.000 It's created in a laboratory.

02:27:32.000 That's not true.

02:27:33.000 So molecularly.

02:27:34.000 But if you look at it, it's a real. 0.99

02:27:36.000 I mean, it's not like a fake Ferrari, it's a fucking diamond. 0.98

02:27:40.000 Like, it doesn't have to do things. 0.98

02:27:40.000 You know what I mean? 0.98

02:27:42.000 Like, if you go to China and you buy a fake iPhone, who knows what the fuck's in there? 0.99

02:27:46.000 Right.

02:27:47.000 It probably won't work with Apple, won't work with the iTunes store, the Apple store. 0.99

02:27:52.000 But a diamond is just a fucking rock. 0.95

02:27:57.000 They can take that carbon and compress it and make an artificial diamond. 1.00

02:28:01.000 And ladies, like, no, I don't want it. 1.00

02:28:04.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:28:04.000 I want a real one. 1.00

02:28:06.000 I'm going to stick with the ladies on that one. 1.00

02:28:09.000 Weird. 0.96

02:28:09.000 The reason I'm going to stick with the ladies on it because I think the value of the diamond is the time that it took to become existence. 0.96

02:28:17.000 Unfortunately, diamonds are harvested in a similar way as cobalt.

02:28:22.000 Oh, well, now you put it down.

02:28:24.000 Yeah, that's why they call them blood diamonds.

02:28:26.000 Right, right.

02:28:27.000 Yeah, so if you get a diamond from a lab, there's no blood.

02:28:31.000 It's just a machine that's compressing carbon, and it looks beautiful.

02:28:36.000 And I would, if I look, obviously, I'm not a chick and I don't own any diamonds.

02:28:40.000 But if I did, I'd want the lab diamond. 0.99

02:28:42.000 I'm like, give me that dope shit that some scientist figured out how to make. 0.99

02:28:45.000 Basically, you'll go vegan on the diamonds. 0.99

02:28:48.000 Yeah, because how big can they make them?

02:28:50.000 How big can they make a lab grown diamond?

02:28:52.000 And how do they even tell?

02:28:54.000 Like, how do you tell whether or not a diamond's a lab diamond?

02:28:58.000 Like, is there a way that they can test them?

02:29:01.000 Or is it just like provenance?

02:29:04.000 Like, you know, based on it coming from De Beers or wherever.

02:29:10.000 But if there's a way that they could test them.

02:29:12.000 Bless you.

02:29:13.000 Bless you.

02:29:14.000 If there's a way that they could test them, then it's just.

02:29:15.000 That's not real diamond.

02:29:16.000 It's not real, yeah.

02:29:17.000 Right, right, right.

02:29:18.000 Unless there's a way, maybe they're perfect in a way that doesn't exist in the diamond world.

02:29:22.000 I don't know.

02:29:23.000 Yeah.

02:29:23.000 I'm guessing.

02:29:24.000 Completely guessing. 1.00

02:29:25.000 Look at the size of that fucking rock. 1.00

02:29:27.000 75 carats. 1.00

02:29:28.000 75 carats.

02:29:31.000 The largest ever grown.

02:29:34.000 Okay, so that's a fake, not a fake diamond, a real diamond made in a lab that's 75 carats. 1.00

02:29:41.000 How much does that bitch cost? 1.00

02:29:47.000 42 carat diamond for $88,000. 1.00

02:29:49.000 Is that real?

02:29:51.000 Is that how much it costs?

02:29:52.000 That's how much it costs?

02:29:53.000 That's nothing.

02:29:54.000 Are you buying it from this website?

02:29:56.000 Oh, brigolanceearth.com?

02:29:59.000 Jamie, just give them your credit card.

02:30:00.000 Don't worry about it.

02:30:01.000 That's real.

02:30:02.000 You could tell.

02:30:04.000 Yeah, that might not be real.

02:30:06.000 That one might not be real.

02:30:08.000 But let's find out what is a reputable site and how much is a reputable lab grown diamond?

02:30:16.000 How much?

02:30:17.000 How much does that cost?

02:30:20.000 Largest faceted lab grown, $375,000.

02:30:24.000 Do you know how much money that would cost if that was an Actual diamond from the earth, yeah, it'd probably be a hundred million dollars.

02:30:31.000 Exactly, that's crazy.

02:30:35.000 Well, that's that's how much would that cost?

02:30:38.000 Find out how much that would cost if it was a real diamond.

02:30:40.000 I mean, is there even a real diamond that exists that's that big?

02:30:46.000 But $375,000, what it weighed, the biggest one weighed 3,100 carats.

02:30:55.000 Whoa, when it was found in 1905, that's a real one, yeah.

02:30:59.000 Whoa.

02:31:00.000 And it was cut into smaller ones.

02:31:01.000 Look at that. 1.00

02:31:02.000 Holy fuck. 1.00

02:31:03.000 That's what I'm saying. 1.00

02:31:04.000 It took a long time.

02:31:05.000 The girl's like, I went, that one.

02:31:08.000 Give me that one. 1.00

02:31:10.000 How old?

02:31:12.000 Ask my man, Perplexity, how old is that diamond?

02:31:16.000 Oh my God.

02:31:17.000 It has to be millions and millions of years old.

02:31:21.000 Let's see.

02:31:22.000 What does it say here?

02:31:23.000 Does it say the age of it?

02:31:27.000 That's nuts.

02:31:29.000 1.18%.

02:31:31.000 Billion years old when it reached the surface.

02:31:34.000 Oh my god.

02:31:36.000 You know what I'm saying?

02:31:37.000 Now, how are you going to replicate that?

02:31:40.000 You can if you think so.

02:31:41.000 With a machine.

02:31:42.000 Yeah, it's better.

02:31:42.000 You said with a machine.

02:31:45.000 So, like, if you buy a lab grown diamond versus a diamond that came from the earth, how can they tell the difference?

02:31:52.000 Find that out.

02:31:53.000 Can you discern?

02:31:55.000 Put this into perplexity.

02:31:56.000 How do you discern between a lab grown diamond and a diamond that came from the earth?

02:32:04.000 Whether or not, how do you discern? 1.00

02:32:06.000 Make a girl smell it to get up on a tub like. 0.94

02:32:11.000 I don't smell blood. 1.00

02:32:12.000 Yeah, men can't tell, but women can. 0.99

02:32:16.000 Their hair on the back of their neck sticks out. 1.00

02:32:20.000 I don't like it.

02:32:22.000 Seems fake.

02:32:23.000 It says you can't.

02:32:24.000 You can't.

02:32:25.000 It says you can't?

02:32:26.000 I mean, it's specialized scanners, which almost means.

02:32:29.000 Hold on.

02:32:29.000 Let me read that to the audience.

02:32:31.000 Visual appearance is the same.

02:32:32.000 Lab grown and natural diamonds have the same sparkle, hardness, and basic optical properties, so they look identical in jewelry.

02:32:39.000 Naked eye tests don't work.

02:32:40.000 Standard home tricks, fog tests, scratch tests, only distinguish diamond from non diamond, not lab versus natural.

02:32:47.000 Standard diamond testers don't help.

02:32:50.000 Thermal electric testers will say diamond for both lab grown and natural stones because their physical properties are essentially the same.

02:32:58.000 In other words, you cannot reliably discern the origin on your own just by looking at it or using a simple tester.

02:33:05.000 A jeweler, how do they do it?

02:33:08.000 Let's see, what does this say here?

02:33:10.000 Literally, it seems like they write the word lab grown that you can see under a microscope or something.

02:33:15.000 Amazing inscription on a mini lab when diamonds are inscribed.

02:33:17.000 Why would you inscribe it? 1.00

02:33:19.000 Because you're an asshole. 1.00

02:33:20.000 Okay. 1.00

02:33:21.000 I don't know.

02:33:22.000 Okay, inclusions of growth features.

02:33:24.000 If you make better, if you're like the best at it, if you're the Rolex of making lab grown diamonds so people can't copy yours, maybe.

02:33:31.000 Here goes something that's interesting.

02:33:31.000 Well, no, no.

02:33:33.000 It says lab grown HP, HT, and CVD diamonds can show characteristic of metallic inclusions and geometric patterns or growth striations that differ from most natural diamonds.

02:33:47.000 But this is subtle and not always present.

02:33:50.000 But there's a chance to dance, right?

02:33:51.000 Yeah, as a chance, natural diamonds tend to have more irregular geologic looking inclusions.

02:33:58.000 Fluorescence patterns under UV, differences in how the stone fluoresces under short wave and long wave UV light can hint at lab grown versus natural, but interpretation requires training and comparison.

02:34:11.000 Okay.

02:34:11.000 Those are hints.

02:34:12.000 That's interesting.

02:34:13.000 But it says hints not guarantees, and many stones look ambiguous without proper instruments.

02:34:18.000 Okay.

02:34:20.000 She got to complain. 1.00

02:34:20.000 So she got to be a. 1.00

02:34:22.000 At the end of the day, right? 0.99

02:34:23.000 She's got to bring it to a university.

02:34:25.000 Test this.

02:34:25.000 Yeah.

02:34:26.000 Yeah, because she has to be dissatisfied. 0.88

02:34:29.000 She really has to complain. 1.00

02:34:31.000 Isn't it interesting, though, that it's the same thing, but some women want it to be from the earth and not from a lab, even though it's the same thing? 0.66

02:34:42.000 It's like if they could make you a banana and it tasted like a banana, it had all the vitamins of a banana, it looked like a banana, but it wasn't grown on a banana tree. 0.70

02:34:52.000 It just came out of a banana lab.

02:34:55.000 Would you be upset if somebody gave you the fake banana if it's exactly the same?

02:35:00.000 That's a good question.

02:35:01.000 Weird.

02:35:03.000 Well, bananas aren't, there's no status attached to a banana.

02:35:07.000 Right.

02:35:07.000 It's just a food that we eat.

02:35:09.000 What about GMO?

02:35:09.000 Yeah.

02:35:10.000 Aren't we anti GMO?

02:35:12.000 Yeah, but is it genetically modified if it's just a replica of a banana?

02:35:17.000 I mean, banana is probably a bad thing because you're putting it in your body.

02:35:21.000 But if it's something that is a complete, like, you know, here's a good one.

02:35:21.000 Right.

02:35:25.000 Okay.

02:35:26.000 Versus a real fur.

02:35:26.000 Fofur.

02:35:28.000 Right. 1.00

02:35:29.000 Why would you complain if I came home with a full mink? 1.00

02:35:35.000 Because some women want the actual animal to die so they can wear it. 1.00

02:35:41.000 I want something to suffer in the snow and a trap around its neck. 1.00

02:35:46.000 I don't know.

02:35:47.000 It's weird.

02:35:48.000 What movie was that?

02:35:50.000 The Revenant, right?

02:35:51.000 Yeah.

02:35:51.000 That was a good one.

02:35:52.000 That was crazy.

02:35:53.000 Roddy Leonardo.

02:35:55.000 Yeah.

02:35:56.000 It was good because it also let us understand. 0.99

02:35:58.000 I love the idea that there was a business, sadly, and motherfuckers going looking for animals to kill to bring back and make a jacket. 0.99

02:36:10.000 Yeah, still is. 0.99

02:36:11.000 Still is.

02:36:12.000 Still is.

02:36:13.000 You know, there's a company in China that makes Rolexes exact to a real Rolex, but it's not a real Rolex.

02:36:23.000 Because of 3D printing now, they can scan every individual part that a Rolex.

02:36:30.000 So they buy a Rolex and then recreate exactly to the same type of steel that they use, the same quartz for the whatever the.

02:36:44.000 The face, the bend.

02:36:45.000 What is the term I'm looking for?

02:36:46.000 The lens?

02:36:47.000 It's not the lens.

02:36:48.000 What is it called?

02:36:49.000 Bezel?

02:36:50.000 The glass part that's in the front.

02:36:50.000 No, no, no.

02:36:52.000 God, how can I remember that?

02:36:53.000 Is it called the face?

02:36:55.000 No.

02:36:56.000 I forget what it's called.

02:36:59.000 It's one of those brain farts where my brain is just not remembering what it means.

02:37:03.000 The watch crystal is all it's saying.

02:37:04.000 The crystal.

02:37:05.000 Just the crystal.

02:37:05.000 That's it.

02:37:06.000 Jesus.

02:37:07.000 But they take it and they recreate everything with the exact same materials, but it's like $500.

02:37:14.000 As opposed to.

02:37:16.000 11,000.

02:37:17.000 But it is exact.

02:37:19.000 Like, you bring it to a watch person, and it'll take them hours to figure out whether or not this is an actual Rolex or not.

02:37:26.000 They have to use microscopes.

02:37:28.000 They have to get up in there and look at the finish and the way the hands are made.

02:37:32.000 So, would you?

02:37:32.000 We're getting better and better and better at it.

02:37:34.000 Would you wear it?

02:37:35.000 Yeah, I would wear it.

02:37:37.000 I mean, I wouldn't because I have a real one.

02:37:39.000 But if I didn't have a real one, I would wear it.

02:37:41.000 But that's see, now, you know, as a fake one, Usyk, the heavyweight champion of the world, Alexander Usyk, he wears a fake Rolex.

02:37:48.000 It's hilarious.

02:37:49.000 You know what?

02:37:50.000 That's my big question.

02:37:51.000 Like, we were just talking about the AI or talking about whatever it is.

02:37:57.000 I think anything is good until the real thing shows up.

02:38:01.000 I think when the real thing shows up, it's going to be real.

02:38:05.000 And there's something about the real thing, whatever that is, whatever that thing is, that's just like, it ain't going to never not be real.

02:38:13.000 Right.

02:38:13.000 You know what I mean?

02:38:14.000 There's something about a real Rolex.

02:38:15.000 It comes from the company Rolex.

02:38:17.000 It's been making watches for 100 years.

02:38:20.000 And it's.

02:38:21.000 Figured out the technology.

02:38:23.000 They figured out how to, you know, because these, like a Rolex is an automatic watch.

02:38:28.000 So it's got, it's moving on, like this is an Omega and this watch is automatic too.

02:38:33.000 So this is moving on, it's working on my movement.

02:38:37.000 So my movement winds it.

02:38:39.000 So every time I move my arm, it winds it up in the second hand.

02:38:43.000 And it's incredibly precise, accurate within like a couple seconds a day.

02:38:47.000 Right.

02:38:48.000 And somebody had to figure that out. 0.97

02:38:50.000 And they figured it out a long fucking time ago. 0.96

02:38:50.000 Right. 0.96

02:38:53.000 These guys figured out how to make, The perfect amount of spring tension and these little tiny gears that move around in there.

02:39:00.000 And how long does it last?

02:39:03.000 How long will it stay charged for?

02:39:05.000 Yeah, like, I don't have too much.

02:39:09.000 I do got a couple of Rolexes, but I don't know, as you see, I don't watch them.

02:39:12.000 Oh, wow.

02:39:12.000 Well, they'll last for decades and decades.

02:39:15.000 I mean, you could buy, there's a place called Bob's Watches online.

02:39:18.000 You could buy like a 1967 Rolex, and it still works perfectly.

02:39:23.000 Yeah.

02:39:24.000 Yeah, I mean, they last forever. 0.91

02:39:26.000 And sometimes they need service, and all that means is like they need to clean them out, and maybe they replace a spring or some shit. 0.57

02:39:32.000 But then it's back to work. 0.99

02:39:33.000 I've seen one in, well, for the ones that's making it in China, you know what I mean?

02:39:38.000 That's, you know, and the guys.

02:39:39.000 They call them super clones.

02:39:40.000 Yeah, the super cloners, and you can't afford a real one and you want to be cool with a favorite. 0.98

02:39:45.000 Baller on a budget.

02:39:46.000 Baller on a budget.

02:39:47.000 We're not knocking that.

02:39:48.000 But I saw one that my wife wanted. 0.89

02:39:51.000 She didn't get it. 0.81

02:39:52.000 I told her to get it, but she thought she'd get it somewhere else.

02:39:57.000 In Brussels, right?

02:39:59.000 They had.

02:40:00.000 Have you ever seen an orange Rolex?

02:40:02.000 No.

02:40:03.000 Exactly, bro.

02:40:04.000 They had it on display for sale.

02:40:07.000 And she never seen it either.

02:40:08.000 I'm not into watches, but she's kind of getting there into it. 0.98

02:40:11.000 And we were kind of moving fast and shit, and she was like. 0.97

02:40:15.000 You know, she saw it and she wanted it. 0.99

02:40:17.000 I said, Well, go ahead and get it.

02:40:18.000 I'll wait.

02:40:19.000 She said, No, I'll get it somewhere else.

02:40:22.000 You can't get it nowhere else.

02:40:24.000 You only could get it from that one location in Brussels.

02:40:28.000 Oh, so Rolex makes it specifically just for them?

02:40:31.000 Well, there's some companies that customize watches that you could buy where they take a regular Rolex and they customize it.

02:40:31.000 Yeah.

02:40:39.000 And the problem with that is, even though it's expensive, it's not worth as much to some people because they've altered it.

02:40:46.000 Right.

02:40:47.000 This is not altered, though.

02:40:48.000 Oh, it comes only from Rolex.

02:40:50.000 Only from Rolex.

02:40:50.000 And they only sell it.

02:40:51.000 They only sell it there.

02:40:53.000 Oh, wow.

02:40:53.000 You know what I mean?

02:40:54.000 See if you can find that one.

02:40:57.000 People love exclusivity.

02:40:59.000 Hall of Time in Brussels.

02:41:01.000 Rolex Explorer 2, the primary model featuring a single bright orange 24 hour hand.

02:41:07.000 Often found at authorized dealers like Hall of Time in Brussels.

02:41:12.000 Wow.

02:41:13.000 So I got to take her all the way back to Brussels to get it.

02:41:13.000 Interesting.

02:41:16.000 Oh, it's so pretty, though.

02:41:17.000 I don't know which one it is.

02:41:18.000 I bet you could buy it online.

02:41:20.000 Can you buy it online?

02:41:21.000 You probably have to pay a premium.

02:41:23.000 Look at that, $11,000.

02:41:24.000 You can buy it online.

02:41:26.000 $210,000?

02:41:27.000 Yeah, that's a little like me right there.

02:41:28.000 Of course.

02:41:29.000 Yeah.

02:41:30.000 $210,000.

02:41:31.000 Maybe I won't be going back to blesses.

02:41:34.000 It's just crazy how much cheaper those super clones are that look exactly the same.

02:41:41.000 I bet you after this podcast, a super clone is going to say, he's going to make those now.

02:41:46.000 See if you can find one of those super clone sites from China.

02:41:52.000 Because what they're doing is just taking advantage of the fact that everybody wants these status symbols.

02:41:56.000 And that's what a lot of it is.

02:41:58.000 You know, it's like, so here it is.

02:42:00.000 What is this company called?

02:42:01.000 SuperLuxuryReps.com.

02:42:26.000 Look how pretty that is.

02:42:28.000 That looks perfect.

02:42:31.000 So, no one would ever know. 0.97

02:42:32.000 So, for $1,600, no one is ever going to fucking know. 0.96

02:42:35.000 There's a pretty good chance that's a picture of a real one, too. 0.97

02:42:38.000 Good point. 0.99

02:42:40.000 Damn, Jamie's thinking levels ahead. 0.99

02:42:42.000 I like that. 1.00

02:42:43.000 I like that.

02:42:44.000 That's true. 0.99

02:42:44.000 They might be fucking with that. 0.99

02:42:46.000 Yeah, when you get it home, it ain't like it was in the picture. 0.96

02:42:49.000 The Whopper is not the size it is on the commercial.

02:42:52.000 That looks good, though.

02:42:54.000 That's a sticker.

02:42:55.000 Okay, so luxury, super luxury reps.

02:43:34.000 Show me video proof.

02:43:35.000 Oh, how about?

02:43:36.000 Okay.

02:43:37.000 Go to Richard Millet because those watches are like a million bucks.

02:43:42.000 Show me the video proof.

02:43:42.000 Oh, video proof.

02:43:43.000 Who's opening it on a vertical screen?

02:43:46.000 Oh, so they're getting very close to it.

02:43:48.000 Oh, yeah.

02:43:48.000 I guess maybe they're trying to show the microscope.

02:43:50.000 Yeah.

02:43:51.000 So you're seeing all the action and all the movement.

02:43:54.000 So, Richard Millet watch, click on those, please, because that's like a million dollar watch.

02:44:00.000 Those watches are insanely expensive.

02:44:02.000 Not from here.

02:44:03.000 How much do they cost?

02:44:05.000 $1,600 or so.

02:44:06.000 Yeah.

02:44:06.000 $1,400.

02:44:07.000 So, $1,400 or.

02:44:10.000 Half a million.

02:44:10.000 A million.

02:44:11.000 Learn where to shop.

02:44:11.000 Right.

02:44:12.000 You know what I just learned from watching that thing, though?

02:44:15.000 What?

02:44:15.000 The other one you had with the moving gears.

02:44:17.000 It reminded me of the quantum computer.

02:44:20.000 Oh, okay.

02:44:21.000 Yeah.

02:44:22.000 My brain is bugged out.

02:44:24.000 Those things are weird.

02:44:25.000 But I saw the science of a quantum computer there.

02:44:31.000 Right.

02:44:31.000 So all that stuff moving?

02:44:32.000 Yeah, because it takes all those gears.

02:44:34.000 It takes that. 0.99

02:44:35.000 Well, the quantum computers are so crazy because all that shit is all cooling. 0.98

02:44:39.000 And the actual computer is like the size of a, like, A triscuit, right? 0.99

02:44:43.000 It kind of you think about the human heart, right? 0.99

02:44:47.000 It's doing a lot of fucking work. 0.98

02:44:49.000 Oh, yeah, you know what I mean? 0.99

02:44:51.000 It's doing, and it's you know, it's not really a pump.

02:44:54.000 That's what they're saying now.

02:44:55.000 Yeah, it's like a cycle, it's like a vortex, a vortex.

02:44:58.000 Yeah, but it's I used to think it was a pump, but it makes sense, right?

02:45:03.000 The quantum computer, the brain, all these things is more, it's almost like our biology is teaching, it's science is now catching up to the science of our biology.

02:45:14.000 And now, find a way to mechanically immolate our biology.

02:45:19.000 So, what SuperLuxuryReps.com is?

02:45:22.000 They sell, Perplexity says they sell super clone luxury watches, emphasizing that their pieces mirror the design, weight, and performance of genuine models.

02:45:31.000 They present themselves as a premium alternative to cheap replicas, focusing on workmanship, durability.

02:45:38.000 We just did an ad for these people.

02:45:40.000 We basically just gave them an ad.

02:45:41.000 I guarantee you, some fakers are going to go there.

02:45:46.000 Thinking you're buying the real thing here and you shouldn't.

02:45:46.000 You're not.

02:45:50.000 That's just the note.

02:45:51.000 But the thing is, it mirrors the performance.

02:45:54.000 It looks exactly the same.

02:45:55.000 That's my point.

02:45:56.000 It's like, why does a Rolex cost that much money then?

02:46:00.000 If they can make it for $1,400, why is it like, how much does a Daytona cost if you bought it retail?

02:46:09.000 Like, what is a Rolex?

02:46:10.000 Let's take a guess.

02:46:11.000 I got to imagine it's $15,000.

02:46:14.000 I got to imagine it's at least 10 times more.

02:46:17.000 What is a Rolex Daytona cost?

02:46:19.000 So you're saying that the material is all the same.

02:46:23.000 But they're stealing the idea.

02:46:25.000 Yes, they're stealing everything.

02:46:27.000 They're stealing the design, the idea.

02:46:29.000 So when you're paying $15,000, you're paying for the idea, the design, and everything, not just the material.

02:46:34.000 So $30,000.

02:46:36.000 So it's more than $10.

02:46:38.000 Look at that.

02:46:39.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:46:42.000 So that black one, the black faced one, is exactly like the one that they had there. 1.00

02:46:46.000 White. 1.00

02:46:47.000 That's pretty. 0.87

02:46:49.000 But you could sell that though.

02:46:50.000 The thing is, that comes with paperwork, and you could sell it probably for even more than 30 afterwards.

02:46:55.000 That's the difference.

02:46:56.000 That's the difference, right?

02:46:57.000 Yeah.

02:46:58.000 It can appreciate and not depreciate.

02:46:59.000 And it has serial numbers and paperwork and all that.

02:47:02.000 It's an actual investment.

02:47:05.000 I want to take a moment to once again, this is the Rizza on the Joe Rogan Experience.

02:47:10.000 Can I do this?

02:47:11.000 Okay, thanks.

02:47:11.000 Yes, please.

02:47:12.000 This is the Rizza on the Joe Rogan Experience.

02:47:14.000 I have a new film coming out May 1st in theaters.

02:47:17.000 It's called One Spoon of Chocolate.

02:47:18.000 Quentin Tarantino presents The Rizzas, One Spoon of Chocolate in Theaters Everywhere, May 1st.

02:47:23.000 It follows the story of an ex military convict trying to find a better way in life. 0.99

02:47:30.000 Ends up in a small town, and shit goes bananas. 0.99

02:47:34.000 Chaos ensues. 1.00

02:47:35.000 Dun dun dun.

02:47:40.000 Action pack.

02:47:41.000 Bone shattering.

02:47:43.000 And available in streaming in maybe a month or so.

02:47:45.000 Yeah, maybe a month or so.

02:47:46.000 Maybe 45 days.

02:47:47.000 Go see it in the movie theaters.

02:47:49.000 And you know what?

02:47:50.000 Go to the theaters, yo.

02:47:51.000 You know how come?

02:47:51.000 Because tell me if you agree with this.

02:47:55.000 I don't care where you get popcorn from anywhere else.

02:47:58.000 I like Disneyland.

02:47:59.000 I like the amusement parks.

02:48:00.000 But no popcorn touches movie theater popcorn.

02:48:04.000 They know what they're doing.

02:48:05.000 They got something going on there. 1.00

02:48:06.000 But whatever that butter is, what is that shit? 0.99

02:48:09.000 That stuff, when you go to the machine, you press the button. 0.99

02:48:11.000 Oh, I don't know what that is.

02:48:12.000 What's in there?

02:48:13.000 I think it's vegan.

02:48:14.000 It can't be good for you.

02:48:15.000 It can't be good.

02:48:16.000 It can't be good for you.

02:48:17.000 Well, at the Alamo Draft House, they use real butter?

02:48:19.000 Oh, they use real butter.

02:48:20.000 Yeah.

02:48:21.000 Alamo Draft House.

02:48:22.000 You ever been to Sinopolis?

02:48:24.000 Yes.

02:48:25.000 Sinopolis is awesome.

02:48:26.000 That's his joint.

02:48:27.000 Oh, they have everything there.

02:48:28.000 Is that a date night?

02:48:29.000 Yeah, man.

02:48:30.000 Beautiful seats, like laying back. 0.78

02:48:33.000 They have waiters and waitresses.

02:48:35.000 Do you and the wife like going to see movies?

02:48:37.000 Oh, yeah.

02:48:38.000 Yeah.

02:48:38.000 What's your favorite theater?

02:48:40.000 I love Sinopolis.

02:48:41.000 That's my favorite.

02:48:42.000 That's my favorite.

02:48:43.000 Yeah, that's the place.

02:48:44.000 Because the seats are the best, they recline, they're perfect.

02:48:46.000 Yeah, the spaces.

02:48:48.000 They know what they're doing.

02:48:49.000 Plus, it costs a little bit more to go there, so no one's on their phone making noises.

02:48:54.000 People aren't talking.

02:48:56.000 I agree.

02:48:56.000 You know what I mean?

02:48:57.000 And the crazy thing I will say, though, Sinopolis is my favorite theater as well for a date night with my wife.

02:49:03.000 But I strongly believe, that's from my experience, that it was the Alamo Draft House that pioneered that whole concept of food.

02:49:14.000 Yeah, bro.

02:49:15.000 I remember coming out here, I don't know, it might have been 2004 or something.

02:49:19.000 Like, it was this one Alamo draft house, I think.

02:49:22.000 Guys had it on.

02:49:23.000 On 6th Street.

02:49:23.000 On 6th Street is that.

02:49:24.000 That's my building now.

02:49:25.000 That's your building now.

02:49:26.000 That's the mothership, yeah.

02:49:28.000 I bought that place.

02:49:29.000 Bro, that's my school, bro.

02:49:29.000 That's the Ritz.

02:49:32.000 Yeah, that's the Ritz.

02:49:33.000 I'm saying, that's why I used to come out to the QT.

02:49:35.000 I mean, that's my film college.

02:49:37.000 Yeah.

02:49:39.000 I've seen so many movies there.

02:49:42.000 I'm talking about six movies in one day.

02:49:44.000 Tarantino Screen deathproof there.

02:49:45.000 Yeah.

02:49:46.000 Yeah.

02:49:46.000 They had so many movies out of that place.

02:49:48.000 That place was everything, man.

02:49:50.000 It used to be a rock and roll club.

02:49:52.000 It was, at one point in time, a pool hall.

02:49:54.000 Right.

02:49:55.000 It's been a bunch of different things.

02:49:56.000 Well, you own my college now.

02:49:57.000 Yeah.

02:49:58.000 It's a dope spot, too.

02:49:59.000 It's a perfect place.

02:50:00.000 And we still have the original marquee because it's all the historical side.

02:50:05.000 So it's a building from 1927.

02:50:05.000 Right, right.

02:50:08.000 You got fried pickles in there?

02:50:09.000 We don't sell food.

02:50:10.000 No.

02:50:11.000 No food.

02:50:12.000 No comedy club.

02:50:13.000 There's food next door.

02:50:14.000 There's a pizza joint on one side, a Mexican joint on the other side.

02:50:17.000 Food. 0.79

02:50:17.000 I'm just playing. 0.79

02:50:18.000 You don't want to be eating while you're laughing.

02:50:21.000 We have one thing we sell jokes. 0.58

02:50:23.000 Jokes and drinks.

02:50:23.000 Nice.

02:50:24.000 That's it.

02:50:25.000 I got to pop in and who's your next guest?

02:50:31.000 Oh, we always, I mean, I do shows there every Tuesday and Wednesday, and every weekend we have national headliners that are there.

02:50:38.000 I don't even know who's there this weekend.

02:50:39.000 Who's there this weekend, Jenny?

02:50:43.000 But it's set up with two rooms just like the Alamo was.

02:50:47.000 There were two theaters there.

02:50:48.000 So, we have two rooms.

02:50:49.000 We have a small room that seats like 110 people.

02:50:51.000 Nice.

02:50:52.000 And then the big room, it's like 250 people.

02:50:53.000 Nice, nice.

02:50:54.000 And it's set up perfect.

02:50:55.000 We had it all like the ceilings lowered and everything tightened up and set up.

02:51:00.000 Mothership.

02:51:01.000 Comedy mothership.

02:51:02.000 Rich Voss.

02:51:03.000 Rich Voss.

02:51:04.000 My boy.

02:51:09.000 I'm glad we did it this time without Donnell.

02:51:11.000 Sorry, Donnell.

02:51:12.000 I love you to death, but it was better without you.

02:51:15.000 Better without you.

02:51:16.000 I'm sorry. 1.00

02:51:17.000 I'm sorry, Indian gave you. 1.00
