The Joe Rogan Experience - Joe Rogan Experience #764 - Duncan Trussell

00:00:02.000 These are great fucking mods. 1.00

00:00:05.000 Sweet bitches, here we go! 1.00

00:00:08.000 Here we go again! 0.99

00:00:12.000 We're sober, I just realized that.

00:00:14.000 No!

00:00:15.000 We should probably do something to stop that while we're doing the podcast.

00:00:18.000 Great.

00:00:19.000 Dude, we archered today.

00:00:22.000 We archered.

00:00:23.000 I don't think that's the right way to say it.

00:00:24.000 We arched.

00:00:26.000 It was so fun.

00:00:28.000 So addicted to it now.

00:00:30.000 To archery.

00:00:31.000 You're like a legitimate archer.

00:00:34.000 No.

00:00:34.000 Yeah, you are.

00:00:35.000 You have like a full setup.

00:00:36.000 You do it all the time.

00:00:37.000 You practice in your yard.

00:00:38.000 That's right.

00:00:38.000 You know what you're doing.

00:00:39.000 It's incredibly addictive, man.

00:00:41.000 It's very satisfying. 0.98

00:00:44.000 And it's a great goddamn metaphor for everything. 0.98

00:00:48.000 Thank you, sir. 0.98

00:00:51.000 Duncan's doing the traditional way. 0.99

00:00:53.000 He's got the wooden arrow shafts and the traditional recurve bow, which, by the way, anytime I post a picture of archery or something like that, you get that, if you're not using traditional bow, you're a pussy. 1.00

00:01:06.000 Yeah, you're doing it the man way. 1.00

00:01:08.000 Well, I'm traditionally missing the fucking target, too. 0.99

00:01:13.000 Well, some guys hunt like that. 1.00

00:01:16.000 Which when you, I mean, there's guys that are obviously way better at that shit than you or I. Yeah. 0.99

00:01:24.000 But when you think about, like, what you were shooting, how you were shooting today, and how I was shooting your bow today, and imagine trying to hit an animal, like maybe even a moving animal? 1.00

00:01:36.000 It's nuts.

00:01:37.000 I mean, you're using, what you're shooting with doesn't even look like a bow.

00:01:41.000 It looks like something that fell out of a diamond-shaped spaceship.

00:01:45.000 Yeah.

00:01:46.000 It's really weird.

00:01:47.000 It's a very weird-looking bow.

00:01:50.000 Whereas my bow, basic Robin Hood-style recurve bow.

00:01:54.000 But I get it, man.

00:01:56.000 I would not want to hunt an animal with a recurve bow because it seems like it would be inhumane.

00:02:02.000 It seems that if you're going to kill something, be very precise about it.

00:02:07.000 And I'm sure people with recurve bows, though, of course, if they've shot your whole life, it is precise, I guess.

00:02:13.000 Yeah, they could be probably...

00:02:15.000 Close to as precise as I am with a compound bow, but not for long distances.

00:02:22.000 It really can't cover the same kind of distances.

00:02:25.000 We were shooting today, I shot that elk target at 65 yards, and I was putting it in the heart at 65 yards.

00:02:33.000 That would be really, really hard to do with a recurve bow.

00:02:37.000 Really hard.

00:02:39.000 Yeah, you'd have to have a very powerful bow to do that.

00:02:42.000 I mean, that's a big...

00:02:43.000 seems to be part of the problem.

00:02:45.000 I don't know anything about it.

00:02:48.000 I remember after the last podcast we did, you show me your bow, and then that kind of floated around in my head a little bit.

00:02:55.000 Like, man, that'd be cool to start shooting.

00:02:57.000 Then I've, you know, now I have a yard. 0.99

00:02:59.000 So the other day I went out and was like doing yard work, like, you know, like raking leaves and weed eating and all the shit I hated. 1.00

00:03:07.000 Man shit. 1.00

00:03:08.000 Stuff I hated when I was a kid. 1.00

00:03:10.000 But now it's the best.

00:03:13.000 Something clicks inside of you where it's just like, this is all I want to do.

00:03:17.000 I just want to weed eat.

00:03:19.000 I just want to...

00:03:22.000 That's being in your 40s, is where you're like, I was like vacuuming up the leaves, like the leaf blower, you could reverse it and suck leaves into a bag and it's just like, This is heaven.

00:03:35.000 Well, it's your place.

00:03:36.000 So when you have a place and it has a nice yard, you know, like lawn maintenance and stuff like that has always been something that men get into.

00:03:44.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:03:44.000 That's why they're always yelling at kids, get off my fucking lawn. 1.00

00:03:47.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:03:47.000 You know, people are like, oh, that old man gets mad when you're on his lawn. 1.00

00:03:50.000 Well, you're messing up his art.

00:03:51.000 His precious art.

00:03:53.000 His zen sand castle.

00:03:55.000 That's right.

00:03:56.000 You know, you've seen that zen sandbox thing that people do where they just comb the sand perfectly?

00:04:01.000 Yeah.

00:04:02.000 Yeah, now that's very interesting, you know, that process of being in the moment and then, you know, doing anything in the moment is incredible, but I spent a long time Not going outside enough.

00:04:17.000 And that is a really fucking awful thing that can happen to you, where you just forget about outside.

00:04:23.000 Outside is the place between your house and your car, or your car and your office, and that's outside. 0.93

00:04:30.000 And so when you're not outside, and you're living inside the artificial cave, you're cutting yourself off from a very specific field of data that It starts teaching you if you're out there in it at all for any amount of time.

00:04:44.000 It's a narcotic.

00:04:47.000 I've been inside so much that I feel when I go outside like I've taken a Vicodin or something.

00:04:54.000 It feels that good.

00:04:55.000 Is this like during the dark days of video game addiction?

00:05:01.000 Yeah, video game addiction, internet addiction, just a general feeling that the outside, you just don't do it.

00:05:11.000 You're just in too much.

00:05:13.000 I think so many people are afflicted by this, that you get so disconnected from this rhythm.

00:05:21.000 That's out there that when you finally start feeling it again it's like eating something when you haven't been eating in a long time or drinking something.

00:05:30.000 You just want to stay out there and feel it.

00:05:34.000 So, yeah, I got the bow because I knew it'd put me outside more, you know?

00:05:38.000 I gotta let these people know that we're live.

00:05:40.000 I didn't tweet it.

00:05:41.000 Give me one second here.

00:05:43.000 But what made you decide to get that kind of a bow?

00:05:46.000 Like, did you have someone help you?

00:05:48.000 Did you go to an archery place or how'd you do it?

00:05:49.000 Yeah, I went to an archery place.

00:05:52.000 And the guy, you know, the guy showed me compound bows, but...

00:05:57.000 You know, as far as I'm concerned, if you're not shooting a recurve bow, you're not really shooting.

00:06:02.000 You're not a man.

00:06:03.000 You're not a man!

00:06:04.000 So, no, I just, the compound bows, man, that's a commitment.

00:06:09.000 It looks like too much of a commitment.

00:06:11.000 There's too much going on there.

00:06:13.000 It's a serious thing.

00:06:14.000 It looks like it's for hunting.

00:06:15.000 I don't intend to go hunting.

00:06:16.000 I just want to stand outside. 0.99

00:06:19.000 Shooting and with my little poodle sits by the pool and watches me and I just shoot arrows and it's a fucking blast. 0.99

00:06:26.000 I love it. 0.91

00:06:27.000 But so this guy, this kid, who's like arched, who's like done archery his entire life. 0.96

00:06:36.000 I know nothing about this fucking thing, but I hope I don't seem like I'm an expert on art. 0.97

00:06:41.000 It's like two week, two week obsession. 0.99

00:06:43.000 So this kid is like explaining it to me.

00:06:47.000 About, you know, the difference between a recurve bow and a compound bow.

00:06:50.000 And he said, basically a compound bow, everything's better than a recurve bow.

00:06:54.000 But a recurve bow is a great way to learn.

00:06:57.000 So I get this recurve bow. 0.99

00:06:59.000 The little bastard sells me the wrong fucking arrows, which I didn't even find out. 0.99

00:07:03.000 He sold me compound bow arrows. 1.00

00:07:05.000 And so like I was shooting with those for a while. 0.99

00:07:08.000 And each of them would be precisely off in the exact same place because compound bow arrows are plastic, vinyl, whatever that shit is.

00:07:19.000 So when they hit the bow, at least when they hit a recurve bow, when they hit the arrow rest, it throws them off in a specific way, whereas feathers are more pliable.

00:07:30.000 This is what somebody explained to me after I went back and bought.

00:07:33.000 Makes sense.

00:07:34.000 These other arrows.

00:07:35.000 But man, it's an addiction.

00:07:36.000 It's expensive. 0.99

00:07:38.000 You keep wanting to buy shit and add stuff on to it and upgrade. 0.98

00:07:42.000 It's really, really fun, though. 0.97

00:07:44.000 Well, the compound bone is even more addictive because there's different kind of sites and different kind of rests and there's drop-away rests and there's whisker biscuits and there's all these different...

00:07:52.000 Whisker biscuits?

00:07:53.000 Yeah, it's like a bunch of different fibers that your arrow sits on.

00:07:57.000 So instead of a rest that's...

00:07:58.000 So a lot of people have a rest that's called a drop-away rest, meaning as...

00:08:02.000 You release the arrow.

00:08:04.000 The cables and the strings to the rest are attached.

00:08:08.000 So as you are drawn back, the rest is up.

00:08:12.000 And your arrow is sitting on the rest.

00:08:13.000 As you release, the rest drops.

00:08:16.000 And so the arrow takes off on the string without the resistance of the rest being there.

00:08:21.000 It just launches it in the air.

00:08:23.000 That's a whisker biscuit.

00:08:24.000 So that's the kind where it's a bunch of fibers.

00:08:27.000 Which over long periods of time, like long distances, can slightly affect the amount of feet per second.

00:08:36.000 Not much, but like 2 or 3 feet per second over the course of like 40 yards or something like that.

00:08:42.000 Which is...

00:08:44.000 You're talking about the difference between 288 feet per second and 285 feet per second.

00:08:49.000 It doesn't matter.

00:08:50.000 It's still insanely fast and powerful.

00:08:52.000 Some people like that kind, that whisker biscuit kind, but mine is the one that drops away.

00:08:58.000 It's so cool that this thing has evolved.

00:09:01.000 To this point.

00:09:02.000 That's crazy now.

00:09:03.000 Amazing, right?

00:09:04.000 It's crazy now.

00:09:05.000 All the different evolutions that the bow has had from the moment somebody realized if you take a tight string and put it between sticks and pull it back.

00:09:13.000 Well, you know, yours is a recurve, and a recurve is a totally different thing.

00:09:18.000 That was like the original compound bow.

00:09:21.000 Right.

00:09:21.000 It was the original technology.

00:09:22.000 Because they figured because of the curve of the way your bow is designed that you can generate much more power that way.

00:09:28.000 The regular kind of long bow, that was the old school kind that you see in like the Robin Hood days and shit like that.

00:09:35.000 But the recurve was like the Mongols. 0.98

00:09:37.000 Like someone around that time figured out how to make that and they made these bows with insanely powerful wood and they used animal horn and all kinds of other shit and they made some glues and one of the things with their glues was when it was raining out they couldn't fight.

00:09:56.000 Right. 0.99

00:09:57.000 Their fucking bows would fall apart. 1.00

00:09:59.000 Right. 1.00

00:09:59.000 It was pouring rain. 1.00

00:10:01.000 They had to get the fuck out of Dodge, dude. 0.99

00:10:03.000 Their bows would fall apart if the paste and shit they have holding them together got wet. 1.00

00:10:08.000 Right. 0.99

00:10:08.000 That's so weird. 0.99

00:10:11.000 It's so crazy.

00:10:12.000 There's so many things that Throughout history, there's so many unknown people who figured out these amazing things.

00:10:21.000 Like, someone figured out how to advance the bow to the point that it became a longbow.

00:10:27.000 Like, someone worked that.

00:10:28.000 And before that, someone just figured...

00:10:30.000 To me, all of these little moments in history Are so interesting and so frustrating because most of them you'll never witness that moment.

00:10:40.000 Like the moment somebody made fire.

00:10:42.000 That's a thing you'll never see.

00:10:44.000 Because someone had to do it first.

00:10:47.000 Now maybe people did it all over the planet at the same time.

00:10:49.000 Or if there are people over the planet.

00:10:51.000 Depending on which explanation for how people got it.

00:10:56.000 I think Hancock believes people were spread out way before the out of Africa theory.

00:11:03.000 But anyway, someone somewhere figured out how to do it.

00:11:07.000 That's incredible!

00:11:08.000 They probably saw something happen that caused a fire, and then they tried to recreate it until they were successful. 0.97

00:11:13.000 But the moment they were successful, imagine the fucking look on the guy's face, the first guy that figured out he could make fire on his own. 0.97

00:11:20.000 Yeah, like the first guy that used one of those bows with the bits in the teeth. 0.99

00:11:23.000 Have you seen those?

00:11:24.000 We use two hands.

00:11:25.000 The real hardcore guys, they use a bow with a bit in their teeth.

00:11:29.000 So they put the bit in their teeth and then there's a stick.

00:11:32.000 Right.

00:11:32.000 And then they have the bow.

00:11:34.000 And because of that, they can use two hands.

00:11:36.000 So they're clamping down on the bit.

00:11:38.000 They go like this.

00:11:39.000 And you just see it start smoking.

00:11:43.000 There was a guy that was on one of those crazy mountain men shows.

00:11:47.000 I don't know which one it was. 0.99

00:11:48.000 But one of those shows where dudes are living alone in the fucking... 0.99

00:11:52.000 Life Below Zero. 0.99

00:11:53.000 That's who it was.

00:11:53.000 It was the guy in Life Below Zero who lives by himself in like a tool shed.

00:11:58.000 It's like this tiny little shack in Alaska where he's miles and miles and miles from civilization.

00:12:05.000 And for most of the year, this guy lives like this where he just subsists off the land by himself.

00:12:11.000 He just eats caribou.

00:12:12.000 He has to fend wolves off of his property.

00:12:16.000 And he doesn't bring matches with him because you could always run out of matches.

00:12:20.000 He wants to be able to make a fire consistently on his own.

00:12:22.000 So he brings this bit and the bow.

00:12:24.000 That's how he starts his fires.

00:12:25.000 That's cool.

00:12:26.000 It's insane!

00:12:27.000 It's super cool.

00:12:28.000 It's insane.

00:12:29.000 Have you seen the YouTube Primitive Technology channel?

00:12:32.000 It's really great.

00:12:33.000 It's so badass.

00:12:34.000 It's like a guy...

00:12:35.000 I don't know where he is.

00:12:36.000 He's somewhere where there's a lot of mud and trees and he like...

00:12:40.000 He shows how to construct a tiled roofed hut just using mud and fire.

00:12:47.000 He built his own kiln and he can bake his own tiles.

00:12:52.000 Check this guy out!

00:12:53.000 It's really cool.

00:12:54.000 No talking either.

00:12:56.000 He just shows how it's done step by step.

00:12:59.000 Yeah, but he's a badass, man.

00:13:01.000 That guy is really cool.

00:13:02.000 And that kind of stuff is amazing.

00:13:04.000 It's amazing to know.

00:13:07.000 It's foundational, you know? 0.99

00:13:08.000 Amazing when you find one guy who's like, look at his fucking blisters. 0.99

00:13:11.000 Jesus Christ, look at his hands. 0.99

00:13:13.000 So he's just showing you everything.

00:13:14.000 That's so interesting.

00:13:15.000 He's not saying a word.

00:13:16.000 Right.

00:13:17.000 No, he doesn't say anything.

00:13:19.000 No, it's just like, here's the kind of rock you use.

00:13:21.000 It's an awesome skill to have.

00:13:23.000 It really is. 1.00

00:13:24.000 But you know what the fucking problem with this kind of privative shit is? 1.00

00:13:27.000 And I don't want to sound like... 1.00

00:13:29.000 Like, I'm pessimistic. 0.99

00:13:31.000 But oftentimes, if it's down to using this kind of stuff, I mean, if this is what we're back down to, we're fucked. 0.94

00:13:40.000 You almost don't want to make it.

00:13:43.000 I mean, the way the human race is depicted in that movie, The Road, is probably real close to how it would go down.

00:13:53.000 Well, look at the way life was during the Black Plague.

00:13:56.000 It was like that.

00:13:58.000 There was a semi-apocalypse that swept around the planet and people became insane.

00:14:04.000 They thought ringing bells would cure it. 0.99

00:14:06.000 People slide very quickly away from the land of logic and science when shit gets weird. 0.85

00:14:13.000 Well, not only that, the logic, the word of logic and science is only connected through electricity. 0.93

00:14:18.000 When the electricity goes out, that logic and science goes with it. 0.93

00:14:21.000 And you get back to the same kind of bullshitting that you used to have in the 80s.

00:14:24.000 When dudes are like, you know what I heard, bro? 0.99

00:14:26.000 I heard there's a fucking base underneath the penthouse. 1.00

00:14:28.000 They could go right to the moon, bro. 1.00

00:14:30.000 They just press a button and shoot right up to the moon.

00:14:32.000 Who told you that?

00:14:33.000 My uncle worked for the Secret Service.

00:14:35.000 He's deep inside the heart of darkness.

00:14:37.000 Those were the days.

00:14:38.000 Those were the days. 0.99

00:14:39.000 People would just make shit up. 0.99

00:14:40.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:14:41.000 They just made shit up. 1.00

00:14:43.000 I mean, people today do not understand how much of a fucking problem that was when we were growing up. 1.00

00:14:47.000 These people that would just make up crazy stories, and you're like, is that guy telling the truth? 0.97

00:14:51.000 Like, everybody could lie back then.

00:14:54.000 It was so hard to get busted.

00:14:56.000 You could pretend you were a nom.

00:14:58.000 Guys would pretend they were a nom all the time.

00:15:00.000 That's right.

00:15:01.000 They would make up some crazy fake military history.

00:15:04.000 Yeah.

00:15:04.000 That was super complicated.

00:15:05.000 Supercommon, man.

00:15:06.000 No way to investigate someone.

00:15:08.000 Supercommon.

00:15:09.000 You'd have to hire a private eye.

00:15:10.000 Yeah, especially if a guy read a book and knew a lot about the time period if he was a real aficionado.

00:15:16.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:15:16.000 You know?

00:15:17.000 So then, how much more so way, way, way back, you know, when people didn't understand...

00:15:26.000 This is why magicians are so powerful back then.

00:15:29.000 Imagine sending just a classic street magician back in time a few thousand years who can do that stuff in front of people, who still believe the earth is flat, but he can do basic coin magic.

00:15:45.000 That person's gonna seem like a god.

00:15:47.000 That person's gonna seem like a warlock. 0.70

00:15:49.000 Yeah.

00:15:51.000 Yeah, there's very few people that are alive today.

00:15:57.000 I don't even think we could intellectualize what life was like back when no one could read.

00:16:03.000 Right.

00:16:04.000 How about what life was like when...

00:16:07.000 You know, before the Bible was translated.

00:16:10.000 Right.

00:16:11.000 Back when you had priests do all the translating and no one could read it.

00:16:14.000 Yeah.

00:16:14.000 That was a real issue.

00:16:16.000 Yeah.

00:16:16.000 Have you ever seen that?

00:16:16.000 Have you listened to that Dan Carlin podcast on that?

00:16:20.000 No.

00:16:20.000 It's the rise of Lutherism and Martin Luther, and Martin Luther being one of the first guys who translated it phonetically.

00:16:30.000 And that when he did, there was all sorts of fucking crazy chaos going on where people were all of a sudden not needing the priests to interpret the Word of God anymore.

00:16:39.000 And you could read it for yourself. 0.94

00:16:40.000 And not only that, he was saying, this was the most blasphemous thing of all, he was saying that you could determine for yourself what God meant in these passages.

00:16:48.000 That it was up to, like, as a man, you could read God's Word and determine through it.

00:16:53.000 And they were like, what?!

00:16:54.000 What the fuck are you saying? 1.00

00:16:55.000 This is our gig! 1.00

00:16:57.000 You're ruining it! 1.00

00:16:57.000 This is our fucking gig! 1.00

00:16:59.000 I mean, can you imagine the Bible was only in a language that they could read? 1.00

00:17:03.000 That's right.

00:17:04.000 It wasn't in German.

00:17:05.000 Yeah.

00:17:06.000 And so all these people were under the thumb of this weird thing that was connected to God.

00:17:12.000 Yeah, and we're still under that thumb because the Bible now is psilocybin.

00:17:20.000 The Bible now is LSD. The Bible now are all these wonderful psychedelics that a very small group of people have controlled for a really long time.

00:17:29.000 But when you have a nice psychedelic experience, you're reading the Word of God, if you ask me.

00:17:35.000 And this is the thing where...

00:17:37.000 Um, you can have a direct connection with it.

00:17:40.000 You don't need anybody there to interpret or translate it.

00:17:43.000 You just have a nice chat with the universe.

00:17:46.000 And there are people who want to arrest us now for having that conversation in the same way that you could probably get arrested at some point for have reading the Bible or you could worse than that, you get murdered for it.

00:18:00.000 If you didn't have the right credentials, if you hadn't gone through the right initiation.

00:18:06.000 Yeah.

00:18:07.000 Same thing.

00:18:08.000 It never changes, man.

00:18:09.000 It never changes. 0.95

00:18:10.000 Anytime there's an information stream, there's always a group of cunts doing everything they can to control it. 0.98

00:18:16.000 Always. 0.96

00:18:16.000 It's so true. 0.96

00:18:18.000 It's so true. 0.84

00:18:19.000 Always.

00:18:19.000 And, you know, they say, they will say, no, this is not, you know, the prohibition on psychedelics is not what you think, hippie.

00:18:25.000 This isn't done because when people take psychedelics, they recognize that there's some major flaws in the concept of money and maybe it isn't the best thing to sell your life energy, uh, For the majority of your life to somebody to make way less money than you deserve for selling the life energy of a being that,

00:18:43.000 as far as we know, is completely unique, at least in this galaxy, if not in...

00:18:47.000 I mean, planets are relatively unique, so if you're a being on a planet that's aware of itself, you're a pretty special thing, as far as our understanding of the universe goes.

00:18:56.000 So your life energy per hour is actually...

00:18:59.000 Super precious.

00:19:00.000 Probably a billion dollars an hour is what anybody's life energy is really worth.

00:19:05.000 So anyway, the whole point is you start taking...

00:19:07.000 That's a great point.

00:19:08.000 I mean, that's the key to life.

00:19:10.000 The key to life is to value your time.

00:19:13.000 Right.

00:19:13.000 The key to life is to value your time and try as much as you can to direct it towards things you love.

00:19:18.000 Being with people you love, doing things you love.

00:19:21.000 And recognize that the more you do that you have to compromise, the more you do where you're only doing it for a paycheck, or you're only doing it because you want to play it safe, or you're only doing it for any, figure out whatever the negative reason would be.

00:19:36.000 Anytime you're doing anything like that, you're wasting time.

00:19:39.000 Yeah.

00:19:39.000 You're wasting the most precious thing you can have.

00:19:42.000 Yeah, theoretically.

00:19:43.000 I mean, this seems to be a very rare...

00:19:46.000 Man, I'm...

00:19:46.000 This book.

00:19:47.000 You gotta read this book.

00:19:48.000 Bill Bryson, A Brief History of Nearly Everything.

00:19:51.000 That's one you were talking about today.

00:19:52.000 Yes. 1.00

00:19:52.000 Holy shit, man. 1.00

00:19:53.000 When, like, his... 0.99

00:19:54.000 You know, he's just very good at taking this, you know, some pretty dense ideas...

00:19:59.000 I'm writing it down like I'm gonna prepare to read...

00:20:01.000 I'm gonna pretend I'm gonna read it.

00:20:02.000 You lie!

00:20:03.000 You'll read this.

00:20:04.000 A brief history of nearly everything?

00:20:06.000 Yeah, I would put this...

00:20:07.000 I probably will read this one.

00:20:08.000 This is as good as, like, the archaic revival. 0.97

00:20:10.000 It's not about psychedelics, but it's psychedelic, just because he's so good at articulating this shit that's incredibly difficult to understand, you know? 0.97

00:20:21.000 Like, uh... 0.93

00:20:23.000 The gravity, you know, gravity being the...

00:20:27.000 You know what gravity is.

00:20:27.000 Do you know what gravity is?

00:20:28.000 Not really.

00:20:29.000 I mean, I know it makes the Earth really sticky.

00:20:33.000 So, yeah, that's...

00:20:34.000 The larger the planet is, the more mass the planet has, the stronger the gravity pull is.

00:20:40.000 That's why the moon is one-sixth Earth's gravity.

00:20:43.000 Mars is one-half or one-quarter Earth's gravity.

00:20:46.000 Right.

00:20:47.000 I'm not going to say right like I know.

00:20:49.000 I'm going to say right like I imagine.

00:20:50.000 I don't know.

00:20:51.000 Mars is less.

00:20:52.000 Those are issues that they have to deal with when they go into space and they don't have gravity.

00:20:56.000 Right. 0.98

00:20:56.000 Their bones get all fucked up. 0.98

00:20:58.000 So what's happening here, according... 0.98

00:21:01.000 Now, anyone out there who's a scientist...

00:21:03.000 I do not think of myself as a scientist. 0.99

00:21:05.000 Wait, what about that shit you were saying earlier today, man? 0.99

00:21:08.000 I told Joe I was a scientist. 1.00

00:21:10.000 Fuck, bro! 1.00

00:21:12.000 So yeah, like, it's gonna surprise anybody. 1.00

00:21:13.000 I just don't want the inevitable, like, shut the fuck up! 0.99

00:21:16.000 We're just talking, man. 0.99

00:21:18.000 We're just talking.

00:21:18.000 So, in this book it says that what gravity is, is you get this incredibly...

00:21:25.000 Heavy thing a thing with a lot of mass and the mass pushes in to the time space continuum and so it's like they compare it to like putting a lead ball on a mattress it creates an indentation and gravity is actually the indentation and it's in time space and so that's why like if you roll a ball towards a Like if you put a kettlebell on your mattress and roll a ball towards it,

00:21:52.000 it'll start falling towards the kettlebell.

00:21:55.000 And that's what planets are doing.

00:21:56.000 They're falling towards, or they're trapped in this sort of indentation created.

00:22:01.000 What a great way of putting it.

00:22:03.000 Yeah.

00:22:03.000 A really small heavy weight in the center of the mattress and everything gets sort of sucked into its wake.

00:22:09.000 That's it.

00:22:10.000 That's the most psychedelic thing ever.

00:22:11.000 Oh, there it is.

00:22:12.000 Oh, cool.

00:22:12.000 Yeah.

00:22:12.000 Check this out.

00:22:13.000 This is it.

00:22:14.000 This explains gravity.

00:22:20.000 They feel that, and they're attracted to each other.

00:22:23.000 And so that's Einstein's picture of gravity.

00:22:27.000 Objects warp spacetime, feel that curvature, and move accordingly.

00:22:35.000 And if you have more mass, it's going to bend spacetime more, and so if you have objects We're looking at like a trampoline.

00:22:53.000 It's like an impromptu trampoline that they've made with...

00:22:57.000 It looks like a tablecloth or something.

00:22:59.000 They just stretched over this hole, a rim.

00:23:02.000 And they're dropping things in the center.

00:23:05.000 So that's what they're talking about.

00:23:06.000 This is probably a little too visual to really get across at all.

00:23:10.000 Yeah, but that's a pretty good description.

00:23:12.000 It's a trampoline with a heavy thing in the middle and this guy's dropping marbles on it.

00:23:17.000 Yeah, and he's showing how everything's getting sucked into the center.

00:23:20.000 And that's Gravity Visualized.

00:23:22.000 And that's the name of it on YouTube.

00:23:24.000 Yeah, but so...

00:23:27.000 All of this stuff, like in the introduction, Bryson's like...

00:23:30.000 I think he said he was on a ship or he's flying over the ocean.

00:23:34.000 And he's like, I don't know how big the Earth is.

00:23:36.000 I don't know how much water is in the ocean.

00:23:38.000 I don't know how far away the moon is. 1.00

00:23:40.000 He realized he didn't know any of this shit. 0.98

00:23:43.000 And so he started researching all of these things and interviewing all of these cosmologists and physicists. 0.99

00:23:50.000 And then he took it all and put it in a really understandable way.

00:23:54.000 Like he cut through...

00:23:55.000 Because a lot of this stuff is...

00:23:56.000 So dense.

00:23:58.000 Newton wrote what is considered to be one of the most famous texts on, I guess, physics, called the Principia.

00:24:08.000 I don't know, you can look it up, the Principia something, but he intentionally made it difficult.

00:24:15.000 Bryson says it's one of the most difficult books to read, and he did that because he wanted to separate the The real mathematicians and scientists from everybody else.

00:24:24.000 He didn't want normal people to have access to this information.

00:24:29.000 But yeah, it is.

00:24:30.000 The Philosophy Naturalist Principia Mathematica by Isaac Newton. 1.00

00:24:36.000 That guy was a fucking freak, man. 1.00

00:24:38.000 He was nuts. 1.00

00:24:39.000 They were trying to figure out... 0.99

00:24:41.000 God, there was some equation that they didn't understand.

00:24:45.000 God, what was it?

00:24:46.000 They were trying to figure out... 1.00

00:24:49.000 Shit. 1.00

00:24:49.000 Well, back then, they were trying to figure out everything. 1.00

00:24:51.000 How big is the Earth?

00:24:53.000 They were trying to figure out why planets, the moon moves in the ellipses or something, like the way planets move.

00:25:01.000 And so they've been working on this forever.

00:25:03.000 Forgive me again, you guys.

00:25:04.000 I'm sure I'm butchering, but I'm doing my best.

00:25:06.000 And this famous mathematician goes to see Isaac Newton and asks him about this problem that they've been working on forever.

00:25:14.000 And he's like, oh, yes, I've already solved it. 0.99

00:25:19.000 What a dick! 1.00

00:25:20.000 What a dick! 1.00

00:25:20.000 And then they were like, the guy's like, well show it to us. 1.00

00:25:23.000 And he's like, no problem.

00:25:24.000 And he goes and he's got stacks and stacks of paper and he can't find it.

00:25:28.000 Like it's lost somewhere among his papers, but he inevitably found it. 0.98

00:25:33.000 Now here's what's weird about fucking Newton. 0.99

00:25:35.000 Aside from the fact that he- Never had sex. 1.00

00:25:37.000 Well, no, he never had sex, that's right.

00:25:39.000 And then do you know that he studied the Temple of Solomon? 1.00

00:25:42.000 Did you know he's into that shit? 1.00

00:25:43.000 He was into alchemy? 1.00

00:25:44.000 Yeah, but what did that mean back then? 0.99

00:25:46.000 Like back then, we now look at it as like old retarded shit that people did when they were trying to like make gold out of lead and use witchcraft and shit like that. 1.00

00:25:55.000 Not witchcraft, but... 1.00

00:25:57.000 Yeah, I mean, an alchemist you think of almost as a magician, don't you?

00:26:01.000 Well, I mean, an alchemist, I think, is an early chemist.

00:26:05.000 It's another name for chemists. 0.99

00:26:06.000 But a lot of it was bullshit, right? 1.00

00:26:08.000 A lot of it was... 1.00

00:26:09.000 Well, I mean, here's the thing! 0.99

00:26:11.000 This is Newton, Isaac Newton, one of the most famous minds ever, who discovered all of this shit when he's surrounded. 1.00

00:26:19.000 Now, what we were talking about earlier, the liars and people who just make shit up. 0.99

00:26:24.000 Back then, you're like Isaac Newton, surrounded by these people who will kill you if you make the wrong discovery and say it in the wrong way. 0.99

00:26:32.000 That's the level of...

00:26:33.000 You are surrounded by... 1.00

00:26:35.000 Idiots on all sides. 1.00

00:26:36.000 Like, idiots unlike any idiot that we've ever encountered. 1.00

00:26:39.000 And it's not their fault that they're idiots, they just don't have the information. 1.00

00:26:42.000 So you're studying these alchemical texts. 1.00

00:26:45.000 You're studying this really weird, ancient stuff.

00:26:49.000 And from that, You come up with all this stuff that turns out to be real.

00:26:53.000 I think Isaac Newton figured something out studying the Temple of Solomon.

00:26:57.000 I think it probably added to his understanding of math somehow.

00:27:03.000 Some sacred geometry is in there that I couldn't possibly hope to understand.

00:27:08.000 But look, man, if this is the guy who figured out so many of the things that we still use today, if he's studying the Temple of Solomon, I'm not gonna, I think there's something, there must be something to it.

00:27:20.000 Like something, what?

00:27:22.000 Like in what way?

00:27:23.000 Like it's genetic, some sort of an encoding of information in the architecture of the building?

00:27:28.000 Sure.

00:27:28.000 Yeah, definitely.

00:27:29.000 Like some, maybe somewhere in there, there was some...

00:27:31.000 Well, they definitely did that in Egypt.

00:27:34.000 Have you ever seen some of the breakdowns of the temples, the various temples, especially the temple of man?

00:27:40.000 Yeah.

00:27:40.000 Have you ever seen the breakdowns of that?

00:27:42.000 I've heard you talk about it.

00:27:43.000 I haven't seen the breakdowns.

00:27:45.000 Forget me.

00:27:46.000 John Anthony West is the guy, if you're interested in it at all.

00:27:50.000 He's got this series on Egypt called Magical Egypt, and apparently he just released Magical Egypt 2. He is one of the most knowledgeable guys when it comes to the history of Egypt.

00:28:02.000 He's amazing.

00:28:03.000 He's just so engrossed in it.

00:28:05.000 People don't take him...

00:28:08.000 That seriously, because I don't think he has a master's or a PhD in it.

00:28:11.000 I think he's just a guy who's been obsessed with it, so he's been studying it forever.

00:28:15.000 But he knows so much about it, and watching what he's saying along with just the videos of the temples where he's describing all the different types of artwork and the way they constructed it and how...

00:28:30.000 You know, it's basically constructed around the Fibonacci sequence.

00:28:33.000 So the entire building is mathematically, it's like sequenced the same way like a human body is, like the proportions of a human body.

00:28:42.000 Right. 0.98

00:28:42.000 It's really fucking intense. 0.98

00:28:44.000 Like they were so fucking smart, man. 0.98

00:28:47.000 I just think it's almost in the evidence of how incredibly smart they were to build these Just insane buildings that are still insane today, and they did them 2500 years BC. Like, 0.98

00:29:03.000 what the fuck were people like back then, man? 0.99

00:29:05.000 What happened? 0.99

00:29:06.000 How did they go from that to trailer parks?

00:29:09.000 How is the same people that can build the Temple of Giza, how are they the same people that are about to elect Donald Trump?

00:29:15.000 Right.

00:29:16.000 How is that?

00:29:17.000 What happened?

00:29:19.000 What's going on with human beings? 0.99

00:29:21.000 Is this like some of them reach these insanely high frequencies and the rest just eat their ankles while they're fucking trying to climb the mountain? 0.99

00:29:29.000 Sure! 0.99

00:29:29.000 Is that what it is? 0.99

00:29:30.000 Yeah!

00:29:31.000 I mean there's all kinds of like if you look at like the you know then I think it's in China these you know about the thumb monkeys you seen these thumb monkeys these little little monkeys you can buy tiny little sweeties they're tiny they're so they're endangered though right oh yeah it's bad you shouldn't have a thumb monkey I don't of course they're fucking endangered they're the size of they're tiny how are they not endangered of us mice mice aren't endangered oh they're so cute thumb monkeys right oh my goodness yeah Oh my goodness. 0.52

00:30:01.000 Are you kidding me?

00:30:03.000 Yeah.

00:30:03.000 Hold on.

00:30:04.000 Wait a minute.

00:30:05.000 What we need to do is just save these and everybody have these as pets.

00:30:08.000 Right.

00:30:10.000 Endangered.

00:30:10.000 What is this endangered?

00:30:11.000 Let's throw some money at this problem.

00:30:13.000 Come on.

00:30:13.000 Yeah, I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard.

00:30:15.000 How come I can't have a thumb monkey?

00:30:16.000 I'll tell you why.

00:30:17.000 I'll tell you why. 1.00

00:30:18.000 Because these assholes don't know how to take care of them. 1.00

00:30:20.000 Bring them to America where people love thumb monkeys. 1.00

00:30:23.000 We'll take care of them. 0.97

00:30:24.000 We'll breed them like crazy. 0.99

00:30:25.000 We'll give them all protein powder and...

00:30:29.000 Save the thumb monkey. 1.00

00:30:30.000 Yeah, we'll give them vitamins and shit. 1.00

00:30:32.000 Let's do a benefit. 0.99

00:30:32.000 Oh, come on. 0.99

00:30:32.000 Look at that cute little face. 0.99

00:30:34.000 Dude, I'm telling you, we can do this. 1.00

00:30:36.000 All we have to do is get them to fuck. 1.00

00:30:37.000 We create, like, a gigantic thumb monkey paradise. 1.00

00:30:41.000 Look, animals, when they're safe, they fuck, okay? 1.00

00:30:45.000 That's just what happens. 1.00

00:30:47.000 All you have to do is just get them chilled out and they'll fucking shit out of each other. 1.00

00:30:50.000 I could watch hours of thumb monkeys fucking. 1.00

00:30:52.000 Oh, I bet they fuck only in the mouth. 1.00

00:30:54.000 That's the problem. 1.00

00:30:54.000 That's why there's so few of them. 1.00

00:30:55.000 They're like, hey, assholes! 1.00

00:30:57.000 You keep fucking each other in the mouth. 1.00

00:30:59.000 That's why there's only ten of you. 1.00

00:31:02.000 You got to stick it in her pussy. 1.00

00:31:03.000 There's something about thumb monkey pussy. 1.00

00:31:05.000 It's just rotten. 1.00

00:31:06.000 And they don't just hang on your thumb, guaranteed. 1.00

00:31:09.000 So what we're going to have to do is we're going to go in there and jerk them off and get little vials of thumb monkey cum and just start squirting in the females. 1.00

00:31:17.000 Jerk off the thumb monkeys? 1.00

00:31:18.000 Yeah, that's the only way.

00:31:19.000 We have to save them so we can use them as pets. 0.71

00:31:21.000 Yeah, man, I've been jerking off thumb monkeys all day. 0.99

00:31:24.000 I'm exhausted. 0.74

00:31:25.000 And then some people are going to find out how delicious they are, and then we're going to have a real problem.

00:31:28.000 That's a problem.

00:31:29.000 Because people are going to be eating thumb monkeys.

00:31:30.000 Or they give you a little more energy.

00:31:34.000 Yeah, they make you younger.

00:31:35.000 What if they found out they gave you a six-pack?

00:31:37.000 Eat a thumb monkey instant. 1.00

00:31:38.000 Your dick gets an inch bigger every time you eat one. 1.00

00:31:39.000 No more thumb monkeys. 1.00

00:31:41.000 No more thumb monkeys! 0.61

00:31:42.000 It'd be swarms of humans descending. 1.00

00:31:45.000 With giant dicks. 1.00

00:31:47.000 It'd be like that bit that I used to have about big dick pills. 1.00

00:31:51.000 People will be coming out of the thumb monkey forest with their mouth covered in blood and fur. 0.96

00:31:56.000 It's one thing, too, like, we would not let you eat fellow primates.

00:32:00.000 We have rules, in this country at least.

00:32:03.000 If you could prove that a pig is smarter than a thumb monkey, and it might be. 0.97

00:32:09.000 Yeah. 0.88

00:32:09.000 Still okay to eat pigs. 0.88

00:32:10.000 Not okay to eat a thumb monkey, even if it's stupid. 1.00

00:32:13.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:32:13.000 There's something about the little look on its face when you go to grab it. 0.99

00:32:15.000 It's like, ah!

00:32:16.000 Yeah.

00:32:17.000 Look, you can't eat your own kind, man.

00:32:19.000 Well, it's not even our own kind, dude.

00:32:22.000 Well, it looks close enough to us.

00:32:23.000 It's too close, right?

00:32:24.000 It's pretty close, man.

00:32:25.000 It's too close.

00:32:25.000 Pretty close.

00:32:26.000 But the point is, man, if you get that happening, then why wouldn't it happen with humans that some humans are going to diverge?

00:32:36.000 Some humans are going to vote for Trump. 1.00

00:32:38.000 Some humans don't want to hear Isaac fucking Newton talking about his goddamn bullshit. 1.00

00:32:43.000 And those humans usually are really violent. 1.00

00:32:46.000 And that's why people like Isaac Newton end up becoming very relatively reclusive.

00:32:51.000 They don't want to deal with these. 1.00

00:32:53.000 They're constantly dealing with people who are idiots. 1.00

00:32:58.000 Like, idiots and who are idiots at the... 1.00

00:33:00.000 Like, I'm an idiot, but if someone corrects me and it seems undeniable, then I'll refine... 1.00

00:33:07.000 You're a completely different kind of idiot than an idiot from the 1400s. 1.00

00:33:11.000 Right. 1.00

00:33:11.000 I'm a different idiot. 1.00

00:33:12.000 These idiots are like, they will kill you. 1.00

00:33:15.000 They will imprison you. 1.00

00:33:16.000 They will incinerate you. 1.00

00:33:19.000 We're idiots. 1.00

00:33:20.000 We're both idiots. 1.00

00:33:21.000 But we're idiots in the age of information. 1.00

00:33:23.000 Right. 1.00

00:33:23.000 We're so much more informed today, even the dumb amongst us. 1.00

00:33:28.000 Right. 0.97

00:33:48.000 Like the you need today, that he just didn't have that.

00:33:52.000 He'd have a rough few weeks. 0.99

00:33:53.000 It would be a long time before he totally understood what the fuck was going on. 0.89

00:33:56.000 But my point being that you're talking about people that were the most informed people in the world during their time. 0.96

00:34:04.000 The regular person today is way more informed than them on so many different things.

00:34:09.000 Even if it's just instantaneously by being connected to Google. 0.96

00:34:12.000 If they have the will to check There's more information now today than your average dumbass can just grab ahold of it and use it for an argument. 0.91

00:34:21.000 More and instant. 0.96

00:34:22.000 Right.

00:34:22.000 Than anybody that's ever lived.

00:34:24.000 Yeah.

00:34:24.000 So all these people that Newton was dealing with?

00:34:27.000 Oh my god!

00:34:28.000 How many of them even could read?

00:34:30.000 Right. 1.00

00:34:31.000 How many of them just believe the most unbelievably retarded shit and thought there were demons waiting for him in the woods? 1.00

00:34:38.000 Sure. 1.00

00:34:38.000 And thought that they had to do the will of God, otherwise the apocalypse would ensue and they have to lock up Galileo and make sure he doesn't tell everybody that the Earth is in the center of the universe. 1.00

00:34:49.000 Yeah, most of them, man.

00:34:50.000 How do those guys get through when we're complaining about a tweet? 0.98

00:34:54.000 Oh man, I got so much fucking hate for this tweet. 0.98

00:34:59.000 Galileo got locked up for being right. 0.99

00:35:02.000 They put him in house arrest.

00:35:04.000 One of the most brilliant astronomers and one of the most important people in the world at the time, and maybe even ever, when it comes to getting the people to try to understand the perspective of what we're dealing with when we're looking up into the heavens.

00:35:18.000 It's very possible that you're looking at something that absolutely doesn't have an end.

00:35:22.000 This isn't something we can define, and it's proof positive that the pettiness and nonsense that we wrestle with on a day-to-day basis is a fucking fantastic distraction from the eternity above our heads at any given moment. 0.99

00:35:38.000 And this eternity that you're trying to attach to a book that was clearly written by people even fucking dumber than us! 0.99

00:35:45.000 Even less informed than us! 0.99

00:35:47.000 With less information!

00:35:49.000 More scared! 1.00

00:35:50.000 The oldest guy in the fucking tribe was 19, right? 1.00

00:35:53.000 Everybody's dead by the time they're 30. Everybody's got gangrene and malaria. 1.00

00:35:58.000 Your mom got eaten by a crocodile.

00:36:00.000 You gotta distinguish, though, Information from navigation.

00:36:07.000 So it's like you're in this dimension that you've got to navigate through for a certain period of time.

00:36:13.000 So the Bible, or the Torah, or whatever the religious scripture is that you're looking at, The data in it, as far as the age of the earth, where things came from, 0.84

00:36:29.000 a lot of that data is obviously completely fucking wrong.

00:36:33.000 And you can see how someone would think of it. 0.94

00:36:34.000 It's like what a six-year-old might think.

00:36:36.000 But you could see a young version of humanity would think these things that make sense.

00:36:41.000 But encased within all that bad data are some pretty great navigational tips.

00:36:48.000 So it's...

00:36:50.000 So you got to be able to unpeel all the bad information and look deeper and see if there's anything in there that is like...

00:36:56.000 Because when you were talking about...

00:36:58.000 Not Newton.

00:37:00.000 Who was it?

00:37:01.000 Galileo?

00:37:01.000 If we brought him back here, he would be confused.

00:37:04.000 Thomas Edison.

00:37:05.000 Yeah.

00:37:05.000 So...

00:37:06.000 I think a lot of these people have developed navigational techniques that would work.

00:37:12.000 They would adapt.

00:37:14.000 They would adapt quick.

00:37:15.000 And that's what's important.

00:37:16.000 It doesn't matter how much data you're getting.

00:37:17.000 You know, it's like...

00:37:18.000 This is what I love about archery, is that archery, you're...

00:37:22.000 Dealing with data, right?

00:37:24.000 You're dealing with...

00:37:25.000 So every time you fire an arrow, you get an instantaneous feedback from the target, right?

00:37:31.000 So you know, here's where I'm off.

00:37:32.000 No question about it.

00:37:33.000 No arguing about it.

00:37:35.000 No matter how...

00:37:36.000 That is not the bullseye, and I can clearly see that's not the bullseye.

00:37:39.000 And so then you make adjustments, right?

00:37:41.000 So I... Oh, okay.

00:37:42.000 So if I just move a little bit to the left, then maybe I'll get closer to the bullseye.

00:37:47.000 And I've noticed with archery, my ego... 0.98

00:37:50.000 Even when it will have me shoot the arrow in the exact same way, even though I'm still off the fucking target, you know? 0.94

00:37:57.000 Like you say, no, no, no, you were right, the arrow was wrong. 0.98

00:37:59.000 Yes!

00:38:00.000 That's how the brain works.

00:38:01.000 Like, it felt right, just keep doing it.

00:38:03.000 So you've got to, even though the feedback from the universe is like, nope, wrong, nope. 0.98

00:38:08.000 Don't take that approach to butt-fucking, ever. 0.99

00:38:11.000 You hurt somebody. 0.99

00:38:14.000 Stop screaming!

00:38:15.000 I'm doing it right!

00:38:16.000 Yeah, right!

00:38:18.000 Exactly.

00:38:19.000 But think of it, man.

00:38:20.000 So I certainly, in my life, have erred by choosing my instinct over the feedback I'm getting from the universe.

00:38:30.000 And so because of that...

00:38:32.000 Self-sabotage.

00:38:33.000 Self-sabotage.

00:38:34.000 And that, I mean, you're not...

00:38:37.000 You're not a terrible person with that.

00:38:39.000 You don't have giant problems with that, but you are like a lot of other impulsive artists in that you're kind of drawn towards that sometimes.

00:38:46.000 When you don't have structure, you can get chaotic with your freedom.

00:38:51.000 Yeah.

00:38:51.000 And sometimes your freedom becomes a prison in a lot of ways because you don't discipline yourself and you don't necessarily have to because you're a comedian.

00:38:59.000 So, hey, I fucking... 0.92

00:39:01.000 I don't have anything to do today. 0.98

00:39:02.000 Right.

00:39:02.000 And then you're in front of that computer and that game is there and you just can get sucked into it.

00:39:06.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:39:07.000 Whereas a normal person with a normal life is like, hey, I got shit I have to do in the morning. 0.97

00:39:11.000 Right. 0.54

00:39:12.000 Well, this is like that book that you introduced me to, which I... The War of Art.

00:39:16.000 No, The Book of Five Rings.

00:39:17.000 Oh, the real one.

00:39:18.000 And the one that talks about how...

00:39:21.000 You should just learn anything, like get good at anything.

00:39:24.000 It doesn't matter what the thing is that you're getting good at, because if you understand how to get good at this one thing, you can extrapolate from that how to get good at almost anything.

00:39:32.000 There's these recurring patterns that happen.

00:39:34.000 And so with archery, it's really cool because you have to keep all these variables the same.

00:39:42.000 No matter what your environment, if you can learn to keep these variables the same, if you're on a hill, the distance, In the wind, whatever.

00:39:50.000 If you can learn how to hold these variables the same, which is the anchor point, the way your arm holds the bow, the way you pull the arrow back, the way you release the arrow, there's all these pieces in there.

00:40:01.000 And if you can keep all of those the same, or close to the same, with adjustments based on whatever your target happens to be, then you're...

00:40:10.000 Going to improve in your accuracy if you keep changing your variable, if you keep moving your arm up or down or like releasing in a different way or whatever.

00:40:19.000 If any of these things are always changing, you won't Be as accurate over time so from that you can grab that and look at your life and realize like oh shit man my life I've just been readjusting all these stupid variables over and over and over again without just for at least a month attempting some rhythmic pattern some similar thing you know and when you start doing that it's really interesting because you begin to improve in

00:40:49.000 a lot of in everything in general you know so Yeah, so to me, it's like, I think these people like Newton, I think the great people of the world, they discovered this very specific pattern that if you apply yourself to it,

00:41:06.000 then you will begin to flourish.

00:41:08.000 And that pattern is written about in most scriptures. 0.97

00:41:12.000 It's probably somehow hidden in the goddamn Temple of Solomon diagrams, it's probably in there somehow. 0.75

00:41:20.000 It must be in there because people walk through the world in the way that fish swim, right? 0.94

00:41:28.000 And so the smart people must have figured out the best way to navigate in this dimension regardless of your surroundings or settings or situation.

00:41:36.000 That can be handled by adjustment.

00:41:38.000 So yeah, I love to believe that there are hidden I think?

00:42:03.000 What were you doing all day long? 0.99

00:42:05.000 What the fuck were you doing? 1.00

00:42:06.000 We don't know, except the fact that when they took his hair, a sample of his hair, it was filled with fucking mercury, man. 1.00

00:42:13.000 So that guy was like in some laboratory with mercury, quicksilver, you know? 0.97

00:42:22.000 With old scrolls with the Temple of Solomon on it, like staring at it and then dripping mercury through test tubes to try to transform lead into gold.

00:42:33.000 What was he doing? 0.98

00:42:34.000 We'll never fucking know. 0.98

00:42:36.000 You'll never know. 0.92

00:42:37.000 And how many more people are doing that now that we don't even know about?

00:42:41.000 This is hidden away.

00:42:42.000 Well, they're doing it electronically now.

00:42:44.000 Right.

00:42:44.000 Yeah.

00:42:46.000 Yeah, they're doing it like, oh right, because they're trying to bring computers to life and shit at Google. 0.93

00:42:51.000 That's the real alchemy now.

00:42:52.000 But when you think about what they knew back then, when you think about Isaac Newton in that time period, and what he knew as opposed to what everybody else knew, and being able to establish something like a theory about gravity, and being able to try to explain this to people during that time,

00:43:11.000 I mean, who knew what was legit and what wasn't?

00:43:15.000 So, like, when he was looking at alchemy, he might have been thinking, there's probably something to this.

00:43:19.000 It's just these guys haven't figured it out.

00:43:21.000 Right.

00:43:21.000 Or people forgot it, or no one knows it.

00:43:23.000 But it only makes sense if things are made out of elements that you could perhaps combine these elements and make something different.

00:43:29.000 I mean, they didn't know.

00:43:31.000 They didn't have, like, a table of elements back then.

00:43:33.000 They didn't know what all the different elements were.

00:43:35.000 That's right.

00:43:35.000 What year did they develop the table of elements?

00:43:39.000 That's a really important question, because those elements are essentially what we've been able to measure in the universe, right?

00:43:48.000 Yeah.

00:43:49.000 And then things like the large hadron, which just finally figured out some stuff that we couldn't measure before.

00:43:57.000 Right.

00:43:57.000 Well, it's launching protons.

00:43:59.000 You're shooting protons.

00:44:01.000 Thank God, I just listened to this.

00:44:02.000 It's like you're blasting a proton.

00:44:04.000 Just under the speed of light.

00:44:05.000 Yeah.

00:44:06.000 They collide with each other.

00:44:07.000 Yeah.

00:44:07.000 And they're trying to make something called the Higgs boson.

00:44:09.000 And it releases this shit. 0.99

00:44:10.000 Yeah, it's the one missing little piece. 1.00

00:44:12.000 It's like they don't understand something about how things get their density.

00:44:15.000 And so if you could figure that out, it all makes sense.

00:44:18.000 Down there, it gets weird down there, man.

00:44:20.000 It gets very weird down there.

00:44:22.000 So it's quite confusing.

00:44:25.000 Yeah, it sure does.

00:44:26.000 Periodic table.

00:44:28.000 1863, is that what it says?

00:44:29.000 In 1863, there were 56 known elements with a new element being discovered at a rate of approximately one a year.

00:44:36.000 Other scientists, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.

00:44:38.000 Looks like they did in 1868 to 1870. Principles of chemistry.

00:44:45.000 The definitive textbook of his time?

00:44:47.000 Mendeleev.

00:44:48.000 Mendeleev. 1.00

00:44:49.000 So one bad motherfucker. 1.00

00:44:51.000 In 1868, wrote it all down. 1.00

00:44:54.000 The periodic table.

00:44:56.000 Interesting.

00:44:57.000 And I'm sure it's been adjusted over time, right?

00:44:59.000 Have they found new elements and new stuff?

00:45:02.000 They find new elements all the time.

00:45:04.000 They just add them to that?

00:45:05.000 What do they do?

00:45:06.000 Well, when they were first making it, they could predict what elements they would find based on the elements that they had already found.

00:45:16.000 Because there were holes in the periodic table where there should have been things that they hadn't found yet. 0.98

00:45:22.000 Did you ever see the girl that graduated and used as her graduation speech, she used a periodic table that if you, not from reading how it was written, but if you spell it out to what the elements are, says, fuck bitches, 1.00

00:45:38.000 get money? 0.99

00:45:39.000 No.

00:45:40.000 Yes.

00:45:40.000 Yeah.

00:45:41.000 Wow. 0.86

00:45:42.000 She's so gangster. 0.92

00:45:43.000 Check this out. 0.82

00:45:44.000 Look at this.

00:45:45.000 This is a girl, Jessica Lee, used her periodic table to quote Biggie.

00:45:50.000 What's that?

00:45:51.000 Fluorine, uranium, carbon, potassium, bismuth, technicidium, helium, sulfur, germanium, thulium, oxygen, neon, and what's this one?

00:46:05.000 Yttrium. 1.00

00:46:06.000 And it says, fuck bitches, get money, if you spell it out. 1.00

00:46:10.000 That is hilarious. 1.00

00:46:12.000 Because fluorine is U, uranium is F, uranium is U, carbon is C, potassium is K, bismuth is B-I, technium is T-C, helium is H-E, sulfur is S,

00:46:30.000 germanium is G-E. This is amazing!

00:46:32.000 She's so badass! 1.00

00:46:34.000 God, that girl, she should have the most awesome job ever. 1.00

00:46:38.000 Someone should hire her and just give her, like, the most awesome job available to mankind. 1.00

00:46:43.000 Like, wouldn't you want this chick working for you? 1.00

00:46:46.000 Jessica Lee! 1.00

00:46:46.000 Or maybe she wants to do her own shit. 1.00

00:46:48.000 Well, if you scroll up, she's very pretty, too. 1.00

00:46:51.000 Duncan, that's your new wife. 1.00

00:46:53.000 Fuck bitches, get money. 1.00

00:46:54.000 How gangster is that? 1.00

00:46:55.000 It's pretty gangster.

00:46:57.000 Pretty gangster.

00:46:58.000 It's amazing.

00:46:59.000 I wonder if she got in trouble.

00:47:02.000 What?

00:47:02.000 For what?

00:47:03.000 She likes chemistry? 1.00

00:47:04.000 Fuck you. 1.00

00:47:05.000 Did you hear about the kid who, I think he's got a felony charge on him because he posed as a senator and spoke to a high school. 1.00

00:47:12.000 And he's like 18 years old.

00:47:13.000 And they all believed him and they didn't find out until the senator actually showed up.

00:47:17.000 Oh no! 1.00

00:47:18.000 So the actual senator showed up and went, what the fuck? 1.00

00:47:20.000 That's not me! 0.99

00:47:21.000 That is so awesome.

00:47:22.000 Oh my god.

00:47:23.000 Is there a video of him doing this?

00:47:25.000 Powerful Jessica Lee. 1.00

00:47:26.000 Wherever you are, Jessica Lee.

00:47:28.000 Powerful.

00:47:30.000 Oh, this guy.

00:47:31.000 I'm sorry, it's not that story.

00:47:33.000 It just happened yesterday.

00:47:34.000 The kid in Florida who got arrested for being a gynecologist, the story's kind of getting confused with it or being added to it.

00:47:41.000 Are you talking about that kid who was posing as a fake doctor?

00:47:46.000 Same thing.

00:47:46.000 It was an addendum to that story is how I saw it yesterday.

00:47:48.000 This guy was running a whole medical clinic.

00:47:50.000 This kid was saying he was a doctor, but he wasn't a doctor at all.

00:47:54.000 How about a guy who was doing...

00:47:55.000 There was a guy in New York that was doing underground butt jobs and plastic surgery and he was shooting caulk.

00:48:02.000 Like silicone caulk that you would buy from a supermarket or a hardware store. 0.99

00:48:07.000 And these girls' asses. 1.00

00:48:09.000 18-year-old who posed as an Ohio senator facing charges. 1.00

00:48:13.000 Yeah, yeah, this kid's a fucking psycho. 1.00

00:48:15.000 The fact that he can pull that off. 1.00

00:48:18.000 Keep an eye on that fucker. 1.00

00:48:20.000 I want to see the speech. 1.00

00:48:23.000 Well, did he do it to win a bet?

00:48:25.000 It feels like conceptual comic.

00:48:27.000 I'll try to remember some of the story.

00:48:29.000 He's getting a couple of charges because he had a car rented.

00:48:32.000 He had people with him as officials.

00:48:33.000 He had fake security.

00:48:35.000 He went and spoke to a class.

00:48:37.000 That's hilarious.

00:48:39.000 Let's see. 0.91

00:48:40.000 If he's 18 years old, I would pull him aside, talk to him for a couple days, get to know him, find out how crazy he really is. 0.84

00:48:49.000 Sounds very smart.

00:48:50.000 You might be dealing with some super genius.

00:48:52.000 He sounds hilarious.

00:48:53.000 Sounds like how they would find someone like in an X-Men episode.

00:48:57.000 Like one of those X-Men movies.

00:48:59.000 They'd find this guy who's just been lying to people and super genius.

00:49:02.000 But like to arrest that level of comedy, that's criminal.

00:49:08.000 Ken Ratliff, superintendent.

00:49:09.000 Arrest this guy for wearing sunglasses while he's doing an interview on TV. Take your sunglasses off, sir.

00:49:15.000 America wants to see your fucking eyeballs. 1.00

00:49:17.000 Yeah, who do you think you are? 1.00

00:49:19.000 You like busted an 18-year-old who played a fake senator?

00:49:22.000 He's wearing sunglasses like he's Nas doing an interview on the red carpet. 1.00

00:49:25.000 Take those fucking sunglasses off indoors, you son of a bitch. 1.00

00:49:29.000 What are you doing, superintendent? 1.00

00:49:30.000 I mean, titles are so stupid anyway. 1.00

00:49:32.000 Yes, superintendent. 1.00

00:49:35.000 I'm a super...

00:49:35.000 Ken Ratcliffe, superintendent.

00:49:37.000 Very prestigious position.

00:49:39.000 Honey, I've got to do a press conference today about this dangerous student who impersonated a senator.

00:49:44.000 What are senators impersonating, by the way?

00:49:46.000 It's just a guy who calls himself a senator because of a political system that again and again gets proven to not be an accurate representation of them.

00:49:55.000 Hey, hey, relax.

00:49:57.000 I can't relax!

00:50:05.000 I'd love to, but I can't!

00:50:09.000 It gets so worked up.

00:50:10.000 We both do.

00:50:11.000 I mean, it's just this thing where, like, you know, the whole idea of the sacred senator that was impersonated by this to arrest a kid.

00:50:18.000 You're gonna put handcuffs on a kid who did one of the funniest things ever.

00:50:23.000 That's funny.

00:50:24.000 It's a very funny thing he did.

00:50:25.000 It's not dangerous at all.

00:50:26.000 No one was hurt.

00:50:28.000 Nobody got killed.

00:50:29.000 None of those kids are gonna go home and do some awful thing.

00:50:32.000 Duncan, if we want order...

00:50:34.000 In this country, and I do mean order, we must stop shenanigans.

00:50:39.000 That is shenanigans.

00:50:41.000 Shenanigans must stop!

00:50:43.000 Shenanigans must stop or we will not be on schedule to construct our robot overlords.

00:50:48.000 That's right.

00:50:48.000 We must push forward.

00:50:49.000 Push forward and innovate!

00:50:51.000 Push forward.

00:50:52.000 Push forward and innovate!

00:50:54.000 What is that?

00:50:54.000 I was impersonated by a child?

00:50:56.000 Have him arrested immediately! 1.00

00:50:58.000 Kill him! 1.00

00:50:58.000 Throw him in the dungeons! 1.00

00:51:00.000 Did you see what ISIS did? 0.99

00:51:01.000 They chopped a 15-year-old's head off because he was listening to Western music.

00:51:05.000 They chopped his head off in the middle of the street.

00:51:08.000 I'm no longer surprised by anything you hear about ISIS. Whenever it comes in, it seems like they're running out of ideas.

00:51:16.000 Like they're a shock jock who keeps trying new stunts to stay...

00:51:21.000 Stay on the air!

00:51:23.000 They have pitch meetings!

00:51:24.000 It's Wacky Wednesday!

00:51:26.000 We're throwing down! 0.98

00:51:29.000 Today everyone's gonna eat garbage! 0.97

00:51:31.000 Tune in live! 0.94

00:51:32.000 Guys, we're running out of ways to horrify the planet.

00:51:35.000 We've destroyed all the natural monuments in the area.

00:51:38.000 I need five great ideas for something horrible we can do today to shock the world.

00:51:43.000 Someone's like, well, I know my neighbor's been playing country music. 0.99

00:51:46.000 He can cut his head off. 0.96

00:51:48.000 Who wants to get their mouth shat in for Nickelback tickets? 1.00

00:51:51.000 Come on! 0.61

00:51:55.000 Caller number 97 wins it all!

00:51:59.000 Because they're like...

00:52:03.000 That's what it is. 1.00

00:52:04.000 Who wants to get their fucking head cut off? 1.00

00:52:05.000 It's like, yeah, no one's shocked anymore. 1.00

00:52:07.000 They overdid it. 1.00

00:52:08.000 Let's kill babies. 1.00

00:52:09.000 This baby was looking at my dick. 1.00

00:52:11.000 It's gonna grow up gay. 1.00

00:52:12.000 Let's stop the fire. 1.00

00:52:14.000 They're shoving gay people off towers. 1.00

00:52:17.000 They're decapitating Christian people. 1.00

00:52:19.000 There was a great piece that someone wrote about using a gay hookup app in a Middle Eastern country and how easy it was to find guys to fuck. 1.00

00:52:29.000 Right. 0.98

00:52:29.000 Some guy who put it up there because I guess he wouldn't get the death penalty, but he'd probably get thrown into jail. 0.98

00:52:34.000 But a guy who lives in the country, forget what country it was, was some Muslim country. 0.98

00:52:40.000 Something with an M, I think.

00:52:41.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:52:42.000 And anyway, homeboy got plenty of dick while he was over there. 1.00

00:52:46.000 Of course. 1.00

00:52:47.000 Yeah.

00:52:48.000 Of course. 1.00

00:52:48.000 Dirty dick. 1.00

00:52:49.000 Dirty with a lot of sand on it. 1.00

00:52:52.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:52:52.000 And scary dick. 1.00

00:52:55.000 Scary because you don't know. 1.00

00:52:56.000 I mean that's like a place where there's probably undercover Cops you like like just fuck someone in the ass for a couple of minutes and then I'm like you're busted Or maybe don't even fuck them. 1.00

00:53:07.000 Just try to find them and kill them. 1.00

00:53:08.000 I bet they fuck them. 1.00

00:53:10.000 Whoa, you think so? 1.00

00:53:11.000 Yeah, it's like you gotta smoke weed if you're if you're an undercover cop It's the same thing. 1.00

00:53:18.000 You gotta suck some cocks out there, man. 1.00

00:53:20.000 You gotta suck cocks, play it cool for a while. 1.00

00:53:26.000 Go into deep cover. 1.00

00:53:28.000 Yeah, deep cover, bro. 1.00

00:53:29.000 You gotta take in the ass for five months. 1.00

00:53:31.000 It's been proven. 1.00

00:53:32.000 This is a great porn movie plot.

00:53:33.000 It's a great porn movie plot. 0.89

00:53:35.000 It's a great porn movie. 0.78

00:53:36.000 It's been proven, bro.

00:53:38.000 They do not trust you for the first few months. 0.99

00:53:40.000 Too many guys have just been fucking stole on, man. 0.99

00:53:43.000 They've been stole on. 0.99

00:53:44.000 You're gonna have to do it.

00:53:45.000 And you gotta be convincing.

00:53:47.000 You gotta be a lover.

00:53:48.000 Look, let me show you. 1.00

00:53:49.000 You gotta suck a lot of cock. 1.00

00:53:50.000 We're gonna send you to our training camp. 1.00

00:53:52.000 It's at my apartment. 1.00

00:53:53.000 You won't suck cock for your country? 1.00

00:53:55.000 Is that what you're telling me? 1.00

00:53:56.000 You're happy if the Japs come over here and just eat all our babies? 1.00

00:54:00.000 Is that what the fuck is going on here? 1.00

00:54:01.000 Are you a coward? 1.00

00:54:02.000 You won't suck a dick for America? 1.00

00:54:04.000 For Uncle Sam? 1.00

00:54:05.000 Sex laws! 1.00

00:54:07.000 Yeah, man, you gotta have sex laws. 1.00

00:54:09.000 Like, the moment you have sex laws, the moment that you have decreed a sex law in your country, then you are going to create a nation of perverts. 0.99

00:54:19.000 Because you have supercharged whatever the thing is that you're trying to keep illegal by adding to it that it's like, now you're breaking the fucking law? 0.99

00:54:28.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:54:29.000 That's the best!

00:54:30.000 Now you have a way to express your rebellion and come at the same time.

00:54:34.000 You can't make sodomy illegal.

00:54:38.000 Well, we talked about this when I was explaining how I dated girls when I was in high school that went to Catholic school, and that every kid in Catholic school We all knew that girls who went to Catholic school were the biggest hoes. 1.00

00:54:52.000 All due respect to hoes. 1.00

00:54:54.000 It's not a bad thing.

00:54:55.000 But they were so sexually charged.

00:54:57.000 They were completely wired that sex was this forbidden thing that is burning up inside of them.

00:55:04.000 And they would feel so bad about it when it was over.

00:55:07.000 But they would do it again, over and over again.

00:55:09.000 It was so common. 0.99

00:55:10.000 Whereas girls who went to public school, they were fucking normal for the most part. 1.00

00:55:13.000 Unless something bad had happened in their life. 1.00

00:55:16.000 Yeah, and to think that there are actual ordinances all over the world where some guy is written down in legal code that you will not place your penis in an asshole. 1.00

00:55:32.000 Or a mouth. 1.00

00:55:33.000 A mouth is sodomy. 1.00

00:55:34.000 Getting your dick sucked is sodomy and it is still illegal in certain states. 1.00

00:55:38.000 Right. 1.00

00:55:39.000 Pull up sodomy laws in 2016. Because as far as I know, in Georgia...

00:55:46.000 I was researching this...

00:55:48.000 Because I am a researcher.

00:55:50.000 I don't know if you realize this. 0.96

00:55:52.000 I was reading some shit smart people wrote down about this...

00:55:56.000 Like seven or eight years ago and there was some dispute about it. 0.99

00:56:01.000 That it was like there was some places in the country where it was still illegal to have anal or oral sex because it falls under a sodomy law. 0.98

00:56:08.000 So if you go down on your wife, you can go to jail. 0.99

00:56:11.000 Cops come in. 1.00

00:56:13.000 And they catch you going down on your wife, you're committing a fucking crime. 1.00

00:56:16.000 Yeah, you are. 1.00

00:56:17.000 That's real in some places.

00:56:19.000 Yep, that's true.

00:56:20.000 That's the state, right? 0.96

00:56:22.000 How the fuck did that ever get written down in the first place? 1.00

00:56:25.000 Like, who's trying to stop pussy eating? 1.00

00:56:27.000 Who's just stepping in and saying... 1.00

00:56:29.000 This is way too much pussy going on. 1.00

00:56:31.000 We gotta lock these fucking people up. 1.00

00:56:33.000 Who did that? 1.00

00:56:36.000 Well, probably a hardcore Christian, I would imagine. 1.00

00:56:41.000 I mean, a lot of the people living in this country not that very long ago were burning witches, so probably sucking on a pussy is considered to be some form of Witchcraft, 1.00

00:56:57.000 because the body was evil. 1.00

00:56:59.000 The idea is the body's evil.

00:57:01.000 The body's corrupt.

00:57:02.000 The body is corrupt. 0.71

00:57:03.000 It is, too. 0.85

00:57:03.000 The body's corrupt. 0.85

00:57:04.000 Especially yours. 0.99

00:57:05.000 It is corrupt. 1.00

00:57:06.000 It's evil. 1.00

00:57:07.000 I stink. 1.00

00:57:07.000 It's corrupt. 1.00

00:57:08.000 But the body is foul. 0.53

00:57:10.000 The body is...

00:57:11.000 Foul.

00:57:11.000 Yeah, so you have to...

00:57:12.000 I feel foul. 0.88

00:57:13.000 You're foul.

00:57:13.000 You have original sin.

00:57:15.000 You have original sin.

00:57:16.000 What do I do?

00:57:17.000 Well, you've got to, uh...

00:57:18.000 I don't want to I don't want to go to hell.

00:57:21.000 That's right.

00:57:22.000 How do I not go to hell? 0.78

00:57:23.000 Please tell me.

00:57:24.000 I'll do anything.

00:57:24.000 We've got a payment plan.

00:57:27.000 Do I have to suck any dicks? 1.00

00:57:29.000 You'll have to suck a few dicks. 1.00

00:57:31.000 But they make you, you can whip your back. 1.00

00:57:33.000 That's what people would do.

00:57:34.000 Ah, that's a good one. 0.94

00:57:35.000 You could scourge yourself.

00:57:36.000 People still do that.

00:57:37.000 You ever see they do it with knives?

00:57:39.000 Yes.

00:57:39.000 They slap themselves with knives attached to strings and they just tear their back apart.

00:57:43.000 And a suicide bomb just went off at one of those things. 0.65

00:57:46.000 So there's video of people whipping their backs and then a suicide bomb goes. 1.00

00:57:50.000 That's how weird shit is. 1.00

00:57:52.000 Yeah, pull up suicide bomb at back whipping festival. 1.00

00:58:02.000 You know, I thought the fucking dog eating festival was fake. 1.00

00:58:06.000 That dog eating festival in China. 0.99

00:58:08.000 I was like, there's not really a dog eating festival, is there?

00:58:10.000 I thought that was just a joke.

00:58:11.000 Because it sounds so funny.

00:58:13.000 Yulin dog meat festival.

00:58:16.000 And then I made the mistake of looking up online.

00:58:19.000 Don't do that.

00:58:19.000 Whoa.

00:58:20.000 Don't look at that.

00:58:21.000 Whoa.

00:58:22.000 That's the worst thing of all time.

00:58:25.000 It is so weird.

00:58:28.000 The hierarchy of animal life that we have in this world.

00:58:32.000 Right.

00:58:33.000 Do you think that's coming more into focus now that you're hunting animals, now that you've actually killed animals?

00:58:39.000 Do you think your views on it are shifting at all because you're slaughtering your own meat sometimes now?

00:58:46.000 I think I have more experiences with some wild animals than some people do.

00:58:53.000 That's about it.

00:58:55.000 But what do I know?

00:58:57.000 The wild animal experience, alright?

00:59:01.000 This is just the experience of getting out of a city and going into the wild itself is very psychedelic in some very strange way.

00:59:09.000 And I didn't feel that way until I started hunting.

00:59:14.000 It sounds bad, but let me explain.

00:59:16.000 When I would go to the wilderness before, I'd be like, what a cool place.

00:59:20.000 So beautiful.

00:59:21.000 So peaceful.

00:59:22.000 I love the clean air.

00:59:24.000 I love looking at the green trees.

00:59:26.000 Look how pretty that river is.

00:59:28.000 When I started hunting, I became somehow or another connected to all these living things that are there and you're in their world and you exist on their vibration.

00:59:40.000 When you're hunting like an elk or something like that and you're slowly creeping up on it in the woods with real consequence involved for both of you, right?

00:59:50.000 Like a real moment, a real...

00:59:52.000 And then when you do take that animal and kill it and wind up eating it, you've got some incredibly weird psychic connection to that place in the world, that place on our planet.

01:00:05.000 It's not just as simple as, like, I know where my food comes from.

01:00:10.000 Yeah, but that's definitely good.

01:00:15.000 But killing it yourself and then eating it, there's a totally different thing going on there. 1.00

01:00:20.000 And killing it with a bow and arrow. 1.00

01:00:22.000 Right. 1.00

01:00:22.000 Like hunting this thing down, finding it, putting a perfect shot on it, killing it, watching it die, then eating it, and then knowing when you eat it. 1.00

01:00:31.000 This experience, this insane primal experience is connected to this food. 0.95

01:00:36.000 Right.

01:00:37.000 There's so much going on there.

01:00:38.000 There's so much weird calming things happen.

01:00:42.000 Like it puts you in like this...

01:00:44.000 You know we were talking about like there's certain primal reward systems that we all have.

01:00:48.000 Like we were talking about like making a fire.

01:00:51.000 Like there's something about standing over a fire that's like a primal reward system.

01:00:55.000 There's a little bit of that in Bows and Arrows too, right?

01:00:57.000 For sure.

01:00:58.000 It's almost like these things are established in our mind because they're what made people become successful and survive thousands of years ago and those rewards are ingrained in our patterns.

01:01:12.000 Yeah.

01:01:12.000 And it's almost like ignoring them by not going outside, by not starting fire, by not doing things like archery or physical exercise where you reward your body with these experiences that it's It's just craving on a genetic level.

01:01:27.000 That's right.

01:01:27.000 It's not making you a dummy to exercise your body.

01:01:31.000 It's not making you a fool to care about campfires.

01:01:34.000 You're taking in something in this world that you might need. 0.96

01:01:38.000 That's right.

01:01:38.000 And I think the same thing...

01:01:39.000 I've been thinking a lot about this.

01:01:41.000 I've been thinking about a lot of this in applying to why things are attractive and beautiful.

01:01:47.000 Because I've been freaking out about views lately.

01:01:50.000 Because I have this friend and... 0.95

01:01:53.000 He doesn't give a fuck about views, could not care less, doesn't go anywhere, just works in his house. 0.98

01:02:00.000 He's like, that was our last concern was the view. 0.98

01:02:03.000 We're indoor people.

01:02:04.000 This guy's just constantly indoor, watching Netflix, working, watching Netflix.

01:02:09.000 And I was thinking, like, what is it that I like about a view? 0.98

01:02:13.000 Like, what the fuck is it? 0.98

01:02:14.000 Like, why? 1.00

01:02:15.000 Why is it important to me to stare like a moron out into, like, what is beauty? 0.99

01:02:20.000 Like, what is this thing that I'm seeing? 0.99

01:02:22.000 When I see snow-capped mountains and clouds rolling across a mostly blue sky and the sun rays hitting the green leaves, to me, it's like some sort of a calming drug.

01:02:34.000 Like, my body is being given some stuff that it needed.

01:02:38.000 And I wasn't getting it when I was inside the house.

01:02:40.000 I wasn't getting it when it was in my car.

01:02:42.000 I needed to be there and it was giving me this thing that I can't put on a scale.

01:02:47.000 I can't measure it with a ruler, but it's a thing.

01:02:49.000 It's a real thing that you're experiencing.

01:02:51.000 I think all those things that made us alive in 2016, all those things are part of our requirements.

01:03:01.000 And because so few people fill out those requirements, I think that's one of the reasons why so many people are depressed.

01:03:07.000 And I think the beauty is because those beautiful things that we look at, almost always they represent places where life flourishes.

01:03:15.000 Right.

01:03:15.000 So it's almost like as people wandering across the world looking for food, if you saw all of a sudden green grass and fruit Hanging from trees and animals and there's snow, so there's snow-capped mountains, which means there's a river, there's water,

01:03:31.000 we can drink the water, we got food, we're gonna live, we're gonna live!

01:03:35.000 That's right.

01:03:35.000 And so you would see that beautiful, bountiful forest in front of you and...

01:03:41.000 It would feed your requirements.

01:03:44.000 And it tells you something.

01:03:47.000 It tells you this huge secret.

01:03:49.000 And I'm not saying there's a conspiracy where people don't want you to know this because it's obviously something you know.

01:03:54.000 But the Earth supports you.

01:03:57.000 And the Earth will take care of you.

01:04:00.000 If you work hard, the Earth will take care of you.

01:04:02.000 Not work hard as in work hard in your factory or your company.

01:04:08.000 But suddenly when you realize there's a...

01:04:11.000 Force that transcends the laws of humanity and that is nature and then you realize that if you know how to like Like I was telling you, I'm trying to learn how to start a bow fire right now.

01:04:22.000 Right.

01:04:23.000 You gotta get a bit like that dude.

01:04:25.000 There's different ways of doing it.

01:04:27.000 I just want to start a friction-based fire.

01:04:30.000 Like that guy was doing with his hands.

01:04:31.000 Like that guy was doing. 1.00

01:04:32.000 He's gonna fuck your hands up. 1.00

01:04:33.000 I don't care. 1.00

01:04:33.000 I want to do it. 1.00

01:04:34.000 I want to experience it.

01:04:35.000 And I want to know that I can do it. 0.98

01:04:38.000 But what starts happening when you're doing shit like shooting a bow, and you realize like, whoa, I could do this. 0.99

01:04:44.000 I can hit a target. 0.99

01:04:45.000 And then the implication is, if you needed to, You could hunt your own food.

01:04:50.000 You wouldn't have to go to a job.

01:04:52.000 You wouldn't have to get enough money to buy the food.

01:04:55.000 If you get good enough at this, you can hunt your own food and it doesn't matter who's paying you.

01:05:01.000 And if you can start your own fire, you can have heat no matter what.

01:05:05.000 And then if you can build your own shelter, you can have a shelter somewhere.

01:05:08.000 And all these things, they comfort you in a way because it seems like so much of our society is based on inducing This incredible insecurity that if you don't keep marching in place, your life is going to fall apart because you have become a slacker.

01:05:27.000 And yeah, you've gone against the pulsation of modern society.

01:05:35.000 Improvement.

01:05:36.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:05:38.000 And that's an anxiety-inducing place.

01:05:42.000 So it's a scary place to be. 1.00

01:05:44.000 It's like, fuck. 1.00

01:05:45.000 So like, shit, man, I got to pay this much for taxes and I got to go to work this many hours a week. 1.00

01:05:50.000 And I've got to like, all of these things that I have to do. 1.00

01:05:52.000 I've got my fucking credit card payments that I have to make. 0.98

01:05:56.000 And if I don't do that, I'm in trouble. 0.99

01:05:57.000 You're like abiding by a false... 0.88

01:06:00.000 It's a real system, but it's not the real is like the earth where if you're on the earth and you're walking you're not thinking shit man rents due next month you're thinking I've got to find food to eat. 0.91

01:06:15.000 I've got to find a place to take shelter.

01:06:19.000 All these things are very simple and there's no human in charge of it.

01:06:23.000 You're not making a call to the woman at Bank of America asking her why she froze your card up because you used two parking meters on the same day that were close to each other in a weird place and now you're not able to buy dinner.

01:06:37.000 When you're in the nature hunting, there's no operator that you call to complain about the lack of food or to complain about the weather.

01:06:45.000 It's just truth.

01:06:47.000 Pure, unadulterated, 100% truth. 0.93

01:06:51.000 And when you're in contact with truth, it feels fucking great.

01:06:55.000 It's relaxing if you've constantly been basing your perception of truth on what other people are telling you it is. 0.52

01:07:02.000 I think that's part of the comfort of it.

01:07:04.000 Well, there's a pull, without a doubt, that humanity is experiencing.

01:07:08.000 And that pull has been going on since people figured out how to make the first bow fire. 0.86

01:07:13.000 It's when they figured out how to control fire, then they figured out how to make shelter, and then they figured out how to stockpile shit, then they figured out how to group together in small villages, then they figured out how to make walls, and they figured out how to make cities, then they figured out how to cool shit off. 0.72

01:07:28.000 And that's where stuff got freaky. 0.56

01:07:30.000 They figured out factory farming, and they figured out fast food, and they figured out supermarkets, and then they figured out the electrical maze that goes through this entire country that keeps everything cold.

01:07:41.000 All your food stays cold.

01:07:42.000 You always have food.

01:07:44.000 You can heat things up.

01:07:45.000 You can cool things off. 1.00

01:07:46.000 We got that shit on lock. 1.00

01:07:48.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:07:48.000 And then from then it's like what we're doing is this is like the final stages of a caterpillar covering itself with a cocoon. 1.00

01:07:57.000 This is the last final frenzy.

01:07:59.000 So there's an innovation that's been going on for thousands of years.

01:08:02.000 But then it hits this point about a hundred years ago or so where they figured out how to cool things down.

01:08:08.000 They figured out ice boxes and then refrigerators and it got to the point where everybody had a refrigerator.

01:08:13.000 And then it got to the point where supermarkets were everywhere.

01:08:15.000 Like, all the cities have supermarkets, and then everybody lost their connection to nature.

01:08:19.000 Everybody.

01:08:20.000 Right.

01:08:20.000 You had to go out and get it.

01:08:21.000 You had to go find your connection.

01:08:23.000 Right.

01:08:23.000 And even then, your connection was, oh, we like to be out in nature how many days a week?

01:08:27.000 Right.

01:08:27.000 Is it even one?

01:08:29.000 Right.

01:08:29.000 No.

01:08:30.000 It's usually once every two weeks, you go on a hike, and you claim your nature boy. 1.00

01:08:33.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00

01:08:34.000 We're in the hive right now. 1.00

01:08:36.000 We're constructing this crazy thing. 0.98

01:08:38.000 And if you really are like a real solid ass nature person that's out there in the woods, you gotta be freaked out watching this go on outside your front door because even the world that you live is gonna be affected by the The craziness of these fucking frenzied, cocoon-making monkeys that are scrambling to cover everything with wires. 0.92

01:08:57.000 They're covering everything with electrical wires and internet wires and wireless wires. 0.92

01:09:03.000 Just everywhere.

01:09:03.000 A matrix of information and data swarming around us.

01:09:07.000 My brother has a place off the coast of Georgia.

01:09:12.000 It's a place called Little Cumberland.

01:09:14.000 Don't tell people.

01:09:14.000 It's beautiful.

01:09:15.000 You can't...

01:09:16.000 I mean, you could try to get there.

01:09:17.000 It's a beautiful place, but...

01:09:21.000 Man, and it's a place where, like, it's like a nature conservancy.

01:09:25.000 So the people who live there are grandfathered in. 0.94

01:09:27.000 It's a very intense, beautiful place. 0.99

01:09:29.000 But the point is, now they're having these fucking problems, right? 0.97

01:09:33.000 Because guess what someone wants to build right next to this beautiful chain of islands off the coast of Georgia? 0.98

01:09:38.000 Oil refinery.

01:09:39.000 A space center!

01:09:40.000 What? 1.00

01:09:41.000 So they want to build a place to launch fucking rockets into space. 0.99

01:09:45.000 Yes! 0.99

01:09:47.000 Right outside of this thing?

01:09:49.000 Yes. 0.99

01:09:49.000 And it's a fucking problem, and hopefully they'll... 0.99

01:09:52.000 This is where my mind... 0.99

01:09:53.000 This right now is where my mind is really in a boxing match with itself, because...

01:10:00.000 I yap so much about virtual reality technology.

01:10:02.000 I love it.

01:10:03.000 It's incredible but lately after I've been doing this like just I mean it sounds so guys I've been inside so much this seems spectacular to me but now that I've been going outside and just shooting a bow and arrow or just going outside and like hanging out my dogs or just being outside and like you know One interesting byproduct that I've noticed from microdosing LSD and also from not just microdosing but from taking mushrooms is the next day you feel more connected

01:10:34.000 to nature.

01:10:34.000 You notice plants again.

01:10:36.000 You see how beautiful flowers are again.

01:10:38.000 Well, you don't need the psychedelic to do that.

01:10:40.000 You can just spend one minute stopping next to a flower and staring at it What about that show you said today?

01:11:10.000 The what?

01:11:11.000 I'm gonna become a nudist and run into the woods.

01:11:13.000 I would!

01:11:15.000 You know what?

01:11:16.000 I kind of get the whole nudist thing.

01:11:19.000 I get it too.

01:11:19.000 But the problem in my mind is, like, simultaneous to this incredible feeling you get from nature, there is this other thing that's emerging.

01:11:32.000 And there's got to be a way to balance the two out.

01:11:37.000 But...

01:11:38.000 The feeling I get from playing six hours of Fallout 4 Versus the feeling I get from doing yard work for five hours or four hours and then shooting arrows after that are two very different feelings.

01:11:54.000 And one is an incredible feeling like you just got a massage for six hours.

01:11:59.000 You feel rejuvenated, happy, this kind of clean.

01:12:02.000 You're not clean at all, but you feel like you've just taken a shower, like your energy's been cleansed or something.

01:12:08.000 And then the other feeling is like the filthy, nasty, disgusting feeling you get from being outside.

01:12:23.000 Well, Duncan, I feel the exact opposite.

01:12:27.000 When I used to play Quake for eight hours a night, I would feel like the biggest loser in the world when it was done.

01:12:34.000 I would be like, what am I doing with my life?

01:12:36.000 Oh, you're so... 1.00

01:12:37.000 You're fucked up! 1.00

01:12:38.000 Sweaty. 1.00

01:12:38.000 Way over-caffeinated, by the way. 1.00

01:12:40.000 I would drink way...

01:12:42.000 I was drinking these sodas that I found.

01:12:43.000 There's this place in North Hollywood near where I lived that had these...

01:12:48.000 They were like...

01:12:50.000 Brainwash was one of them, and they had like a skull on the cover, and it had blue dye, like it turned your lips blue and your tongue blue.

01:12:57.000 Oh, Jesus Christ. 0.93

01:12:58.000 Probably terrible for you, but it was so fucking loaded with caffeine and sugar, I would down like five of those while I was playing video games. 0.98

01:13:07.000 Yeah, man. 0.96

01:13:08.000 I mean, it's...

01:13:09.000 God, it's like I've been a video game addict for most of my life.

01:13:13.000 They're too good.

01:13:14.000 But I've also been someone who loves... 0.93

01:13:19.000 Psychedelics and the the different it's just very important to To be honest about where your fucking arrows are landing and like if you're playing video games all the time and you're getting fat and feeling sick That's real like you're getting fat and feeling sick like don't trick yourself into thinking that you're not like you feel like shit for a reason because something about being inside the The cave, 0.96

01:13:45.000 the artificial cave, staring into an artificial environment. 0.97

01:13:48.000 God, I'm sorry, you guys. 1.00

01:13:49.000 I love this shit. 0.99

01:13:50.000 I do love it. 1.00

01:13:51.000 But here's the thing about what you're saying is that indoor archery has a very similar feeling as outdoor archery.

01:13:56.000 They do indoor archery tournaments.

01:13:58.000 All right.

01:13:59.000 Archery is a different thing, man.

01:14:01.000 It's not just the outside part of it.

01:14:03.000 The outside part of it today, like when you and I were doing it, it was definitely fun.

01:14:07.000 It's cool.

01:14:07.000 It's cool to be outside.

01:14:08.000 We had a lot of laughs, shot arrows for a few hours.

01:14:11.000 Yeah.

01:14:11.000 But the indoor thing is really fun, too, man.

01:14:13.000 There's something really zen about the concentration, concentrating on your form, and that when you're holding that shot, you really can't think of anything other than executing correctly.

01:14:24.000 Everything has to be in line, and then release the arrow, and then you have to judge by where that landed, what you could have done differently.

01:14:32.000 If it's perfect, you're like, okay, recreate that.

01:14:34.000 Try to recreate that.

01:14:36.000 And there's some sort of a weird meditation effect in doing that because there's no interference.

01:14:41.000 It's just you and that target.

01:14:43.000 There's no one trying to block your arrows.

01:14:45.000 There's no one screaming in your ear.

01:14:47.000 And it's difficult enough.

01:14:49.000 That's why there's something about it that when it all comes together, it's like a reward, like a beautiful musical note or something.

01:14:58.000 That's it.

01:14:58.000 You're getting...

01:14:59.000 It's just there is...

01:15:02.000 The world is alive, right?

01:15:04.000 You don't have to take acid to realize that, but it helps.

01:15:07.000 The world is alive.

01:15:10.000 And when you're in this living being, whatever it is, composed of all these other living beings, it has, as one of its qualities, it teaches you.

01:15:22.000 Because one thing I love to think about is, who's the smartest person on earth, right?

01:15:26.000 And what would the smartest person be like?

01:15:30.000 Then I think, well, who's the smartest person I know?

01:15:33.000 And what are they like?

01:15:34.000 And then I try to, from that, imagine what if that pattern keeps getting more intense, more and more intense, more and more intense, more and more intense.

01:15:42.000 Who would that person be like?

01:15:43.000 Like, what does perfection look like, right?

01:15:46.000 Right.

01:15:46.000 So you go into nature and you instantaneously get a glimpse at perfection, right?

01:15:52.000 You look at a flower, you look at any plant life, you look at most animals and the What you are taught is these things, they don't care about themselves.

01:16:03.000 They don't seem to care about themselves.

01:16:04.000 The personality, the ego, the identity.

01:16:08.000 Obviously, flowers are not getting their hair blown out in the morning and they're not concerned about anything at all.

01:16:15.000 They just seem to be an expression of life into the universe.

01:16:19.000 No ego, no personality, no identity.

01:16:21.000 They're invisible.

01:16:22.000 There's a whole... 0.92

01:16:24.000 Goddamn beautiful bush of these, someone, I posted a picture of it, but someone told me, I can't remember the name of them, beautiful purple flowers. 0.92

01:16:32.000 And like, I walk by them every day when I'm walking the dogs and I've never noticed them. 0.99

01:16:37.000 I've never noticed them.

01:16:38.000 And then I looked over at them the other day.

01:16:40.000 And the wind's blowing and it looks like they're like dancing or bowing or bending.

01:16:44.000 And then I got closer.

01:16:45.000 I'm like, my God, this is a life form.

01:16:48.000 This is like a living thing that I've been walking by every single day. 0.99

01:16:52.000 And it doesn't give a shit if I look at it. 0.99

01:16:54.000 It doesn't care if I look at it. 0.99

01:16:55.000 We don't know what it cares about.

01:16:57.000 It probably cares about nothing.

01:16:58.000 No central nervous system, but it's alive and it's there.

01:17:00.000 So if you take that as perfection, which I think it is, and then from that try to establish what a perfect, super intelligent person would be like, Then from that you get this idea of what enlightenment might look like, a pure reflection of nature unimpeded by the awful anchor of the egoic mind.

01:17:21.000 But it would also be forced to try to understand what it's doing as a collective species.

01:17:26.000 What is it doing with this massive thirst for innovation?

01:17:30.000 You're right.

01:17:31.000 What is it doing?

01:17:32.000 Constantly trying to make more money, get a bigger house, get a fatter boat.

01:17:35.000 What is it doing?

01:17:36.000 Like, what's it doing?

01:17:37.000 Why is it continuing to want the latest and greatest?

01:17:40.000 Why does it continue to ask for new innovation?

01:17:42.000 Obsession with the self.

01:17:43.000 It's all obsession with the self.

01:17:44.000 It's obsession with technology, too.

01:17:46.000 But technology, I mean, so much of technology now.

01:17:50.000 Like, imagine if there was no social networking, right?

01:17:53.000 I'm not going to say the joke, but you have a very, very funny joke about likes.

01:17:58.000 I'm not gonna give it away.

01:17:59.000 It's a very funny joke.

01:18:00.000 So much of technology is based on getting this instant feedback.

01:18:08.000 So it's so much about the self.

01:18:11.000 If you remove that component, where you're not connecting with people, you're not getting this weird, like, okay, you're in the group, okay, we like you, okay.

01:18:18.000 Then now we've just got these kind of like calculator books or something, right?

01:18:22.000 But so much of people are really using technology because they want to feel like they're using it as a way to identify themselves as a thing.

01:18:32.000 You know, it's an expression of themselves. 0.86

01:18:35.000 But I think that the more you free yourself from an identity, And that's something that does happen when you're out in nature, and especially when you're doing the kind of shit you're doing, where you're out there for a few days. 0.99

01:18:48.000 I'm no fucking goddamn Grizzly Adams. 0.97

01:18:50.000 This might come as a big surprise, but I've been in nature when I used to work at a summer camp. 0.99

01:18:54.000 We went out for this, like, week-long hike.

01:18:57.000 And like three days in, I realized I hadn't looked at myself for three days, like three days of not seeing myself, three days of no self to observe.

01:19:06.000 And man, I was getting so happy and like, you know, like the weightiness of the self.

01:19:12.000 And then when you're with your group of people, Who are all working together, then your self gets transposed into the group.

01:19:19.000 So now there's a group self where everyone's kind of working together. 1.00

01:19:23.000 The point is, we're all, we've got our noses shoved like fucking dogs right in our own assholes, right into the asshole of ourselves, constantly thinking about ourselves, concerned about this me. 1.00

01:19:36.000 Does he like me? 1.00

01:19:37.000 He doesn't like me.

01:19:38.000 God, that guy's doing so good.

01:19:39.000 Why am I not doing as good as that guy? 0.99

01:19:41.000 Holy shit, I'm getting fat. 1.00

01:19:42.000 Look at your body. 1.00

01:19:43.000 My God, God, you're Getting old, oh God, yourself, yourself, yourself!

01:19:47.000 Everyone's fixated on it.

01:19:49.000 But if you imagine that being like a kind of gravity and that somehow vanishing, so you're just like a plant blowing in the wind, a tree.

01:20:01.000 You become invisible.

01:20:02.000 You become invisible and you become perfect instantaneously. 0.99

01:20:06.000 It's this obsession with this ridiculous contrivance that we call the self that is making so many people fucking hurt. 0.98

01:20:14.000 And talk about this new modern life. 1.00

01:20:17.000 Well, it's all built on teaching people to be fixated on that fucking self. 0.99

01:20:23.000 You know, all of the great stars, you know, all the like... 1.00

01:20:26.000 I'm not saying they're great, but fuck. 1.00

01:20:28.000 You know what? 1.00

01:20:29.000 Kanye West, one of the most painful things about Kanye West is that he's fucking good. 0.99

01:20:34.000 You know? 0.99

01:20:35.000 Here's this guy who's like, you know, blasting all the...

01:20:38.000 He's like the ultimate example of an egomaniac, a pure narcissist in the most extreme degree. 0.69

01:20:43.000 And you want that person to be somehow awful.

01:20:47.000 Like, because I hadn't listened to a lot of Kanye West music until he... 0.99

01:20:50.000 Freaked out on fucking Twitter. 0.98

01:20:52.000 I hadn't listened to a lot of it. 0.99

01:20:53.000 I'd heard it here and there, but I never sat down and really listened to it. 0.99

01:20:57.000 So I got in my car, driving to the comic store, going, you know, I'm going to listen to fucking Kanye West. 1.00

01:21:01.000 Let's hear how bad this asshole sucks with his shitty fucking tweets. 1.00

01:21:04.000 I bet he fucking sucks so bad I can't wait to hear this. 1.00

01:21:08.000 Oh, fuck, man. 1.00

01:21:09.000 This is good. 1.00

01:21:10.000 God damn it. 1.00

01:21:11.000 What were you listening to? 1.00

01:21:12.000 The new stuff? 1.00

01:21:12.000 No, old shit. 1.00

01:21:13.000 I started at the beginning. 1.00

01:21:15.000 I started at the beginning and started listening.

01:21:17.000 I'm not going to listen anymore.

01:21:19.000 I don't want it to be good.

01:21:20.000 But my point is, that guy is an example of uber success.

01:21:25.000 Whether or not you like him as a person, whether or not you even like his music, that guy...

01:21:30.000 Based on his decision for his career, has accelerated himself just about as far as you can in the area of materialistic success.

01:21:40.000 So he serves as an example of someone who is so obsessed with himself.

01:21:45.000 Kanye.

01:21:46.000 All his songs are about Kanye.

01:21:48.000 Everything's about Kanye.

01:21:49.000 And he compares himself to Picasso, right?

01:21:52.000 But imagine if Picasso only did self-portraits.

01:21:55.000 Imagine if these great artists that he's talking about were always just like commenting on themselves or using themselves as the main inspirational force behind everything they were creating. 0.96

01:22:04.000 Their art would suck! 0.62

01:22:05.000 You wouldn't be that interested in it, you know? 0.95

01:22:07.000 But I think that if you can lift that, if you can somehow eject the Kanye Inside of you, out, that thing that's constantly thinking of itself, oh man, that's heaven.

01:22:23.000 That's paradise.

01:22:24.000 That's, I think, that must be an enlightenment.

01:22:27.000 That's why I like archery. 0.99

01:22:29.000 I don't mean to keep bringing it back, but when you fucking, you can't be... 0.99

01:22:32.000 I hear ya. 0.99

01:22:32.000 You gotta not be there for a second when you're shooting. 0.99

01:22:35.000 Yeah.

01:22:35.000 Well, that state, that zen state, that flow state, that's what everybody wants to recreate.

01:22:40.000 They all want to be in that mind of no mind.

01:22:42.000 They all want to be trapped without anxiety.

01:22:44.000 Or they want to be free, rather, and not trapped with anxiety.

01:22:47.000 They want to figure that spot where they're performing, whatever it is.

01:22:51.000 Like when you think of someone who's in the middle of a perfect gymnastics routine, when you see those girls flip through the air and land...

01:22:57.000 Literally perfect on the balls of their feet and arms straight up in the air and they just nail it.

01:23:03.000 And there's a state where you've got to know that she's practiced it so many times that when she's in the middle of all that, I mean, there's got to be some sort of a background calculation running, but essentially she's completely in the zone, in the zone of her movements.

01:23:20.000 And that's all she's concentrating on is those movements.

01:23:23.000 That's the only way you can do them.

01:23:24.000 They're so insanely difficult.

01:23:26.000 She's flying through the air and turning and twisting.

01:23:29.000 She can't think about anything other than what she's doing. 0.99

01:23:32.000 She can't be like, oh, my fucking student loans. 1.00

01:23:34.000 My boyfriend's such a loser. 1.00

01:23:36.000 I wonder why you didn't get it up last night. 0.99

01:23:39.000 Am I muscles too big?

01:23:40.000 Am I starting to look manly from all these chin-ups?

01:23:43.000 She can't think of anything like that.

01:23:45.000 She's just going to keep flipping. 1.00

01:23:47.000 Thunk.

01:23:48.000 Freedom.

01:23:49.000 That's freedom.

01:23:50.000 I think that there's something going on with technology and there's something going on with its Like, our addiction to it, I don't think is as innocuous as we just like looking at ourselves, we like connecting with each other.

01:24:05.000 I almost wonder if it's like a natural law, if that what we have done is created sort of a pathway to ensure innovation.

01:24:14.000 And one of the best pathways to ensure innovation is to get people addicted to communicating electronically through these devices.

01:24:22.000 And these devices are going to each and every year require more and more power and ability And they're going to start to communicate with you, like Siri and things along with Google Voice.

01:24:32.000 You're going to be able to ask some questions.

01:24:33.000 And I think through this sort of intertwining itself in our lives, it ensures we'll continue to innovate.

01:24:42.000 If we continue to innovate, it's inevitable we create a life form, an intelligent, super-evolved, artificial life form that's been made out of electronics and computers and all of the technology they would put in place so far.

01:24:58.000 And I think it's asking us to do that, and it's...

01:25:02.000 Pulling us into its world to do that. 0.93

01:25:05.000 I think this is the electronic cocoon This is what we've been this is the reason why it's so consistent all over the world and even materialism itself materialism By nature, by its laws, materialism states that you have to get the latest and greatest shit in order to be the bad man on the block. 0.97

01:25:23.000 So, if you're going to get the latest and greatest shit, they've got to continue to put out latest and greatest shit. 0.86

01:25:27.000 And it can't just be numbers. 0.99

01:25:29.000 It can't be like, this is the 2015. This is the 2016. It's the same thing.

01:25:33.000 This is the 2030. Same thing.

01:25:35.000 No.

01:25:35.000 It has to get better every year.

01:25:37.000 What did you learn?

01:25:38.000 What about the innovation?

01:25:39.000 What about the engineering?

01:25:40.000 Does this one drive faster?

01:25:42.000 Does it have some night vision?

01:25:43.000 What does this do different?

01:25:44.000 And you're going to continue to do it.

01:25:46.000 To get to cars now, Tom Popple was here the other day. 1.00

01:25:48.000 His fucking car drives itself. 0.99

01:25:51.000 He has a Tesla. 1.00

01:25:52.000 He gets on the highway. 0.99

01:25:53.000 He presses whatever auto drive shit, and he lets his hands go. 0.99

01:25:57.000 It steers. 0.99

01:25:57.000 It hits the brake. 0.99

01:25:59.000 It accelerates.

01:26:00.000 It takes turns.

01:26:01.000 It's insane.

01:26:02.000 And this is step whatever, an infinite number of steps that's going to lead to artificial intelligence.

01:26:09.000 And this sickness of materialism is a big part of that because it's a gigantic motivating factor for innovation. 0.59

01:26:18.000 It's a gigantic motivating factor for people to continue to buy The newest, latest, and greatest shit, which will inevitably trickle down or be directly connected to technology. 0.76

01:26:28.000 It's all connected to technology. 0.99

01:26:30.000 It's almost like it's summoning these dumb monkeys that do its work for them by getting them likes on their selfies. 1.00

01:26:37.000 By getting them likes on their selfies and getting them addicted to this bitch. 1.00

01:26:41.000 She was only broke up with him for like three fucking days and she's already got a picture of her and this man. 1.00

01:26:45.000 Look at her Facebook. 0.99

01:26:46.000 Oh my god. 1.00

01:26:47.000 That fucking whore. 1.00

01:26:48.000 And these people that are doing this kind of shit back and forth, they're not even conscious of it, but you're feeding into this thing. 1.00

01:26:55.000 You're just constantly giving all of your attention. 0.99

01:26:57.000 If you're on an app that just checks what celebrities had babies that day, what are you really doing?

01:27:03.000 You're feeding technology. 0.90

01:27:05.000 You're obsessed with who Rihanna's fucking now, that her and Chris Brown have broken up, but I heard she's getting back to them. 0.90

01:27:11.000 What is this? 0.96

01:27:12.000 What is this?

01:27:12.000 Well, you've got to get that information somehow.

01:27:14.000 You're feeding the technology and it's giving you moron food. 1.00

01:27:18.000 It's giving you moron food, and you as a moron are like, I'll take it. 1.00

01:27:22.000 What do you got? 1.00

01:27:23.000 Fuck you, Kanye. 1.00

01:27:24.000 Let me get on Kanye's Twitter. 1.00

01:27:27.000 I'ma fucking smoke that fool. 1.00

01:27:29.000 Watch what I do on Kanye's Twitter. 1.00

01:27:31.000 I got him. 1.00

01:27:32.000 Bitch, booty-ass bitch. 1.00

01:27:34.000 How about that? 1.00

01:27:34.000 I said booty-ass bitch. 1.00

01:27:35.000 You hear that shit Amber said about him? 1.00

01:27:37.000 That motherfucker like a finger in his booty. 1.00

01:27:39.000 Next thing you know, you're dead. 1.00

01:27:41.000 You wasted all your time doing that, and you fed this machine. 1.00

01:27:44.000 This machine made fucking Tron. 0.99

01:27:46.000 It made some artificial thing. 0.99

01:27:48.000 It made some new overlord that's gonna be watching over the little meat bags. 1.00

01:27:53.000 Well, that's it, man.

01:27:54.000 I mean, you're looking at like, you know, this is probably influenced by Terence McKenna to some degree, but like, so the idea is like, okay, interstellar travel.

01:28:03.000 Our version of interstellar travel, you get on a boat, or a space boat, a spaceship, and you fly it to Mars, and you get out on Mars, right?

01:28:13.000 So that's our version of interstellar.

01:28:14.000 But what about another mode of travel, which is you're some kind of consciousness that is, or you're some kind of advanced species in some far corner of the universe, and the way that you Travel through time is to launch out these...

01:28:35.000 It's like panspermia.

01:28:36.000 So you put these...

01:28:38.000 You know, on meteors or whatever, you blast meteors out that have the key components to make life.

01:28:44.000 So right now we look for planets in the Goldilocks region where there could be not too hot, not too cold, where there could theoretically be the possibility for human life to exist.

01:28:53.000 But what if you just shoot out a shit ton of matter into space and this matter is encoded somehow so that when it lands on this planet or that planet that's just the right kind of planet to support the life form that you are, then it begins to evolve.

01:29:06.000 And to us, it seems like it takes millions and millions of years for this evolution to take place.

01:29:10.000 But for you, this advanced species, it's just a flickering of an eye. 0.93

01:29:14.000 And all of a sudden, this, you know, planet, this shit that you've ejected from your planet, lands on another planet, goes from a single-celled organism to a multi-cellular organism. 0.97

01:29:24.000 It's following a very... 0.96

01:29:27.000 specific trajectory that you have pre-programmed so that at the end of all of this it will begin to create technology which will then allow you to beam your consciousness in via the what we call like computers waking up.

01:29:42.000 It's not computers waking up.

01:29:44.000 This is the beaming in of an alien intelligence from some other place that has seeded our planet intentionally so that it can it can instantly transport to this to here.

01:29:56.000 Or maybe we'll recognize that all intelligence is the same thing, and even artificial intelligence.

01:30:01.000 And what we do by making an artificial life form isn't create a sentient being.

01:30:05.000 It's allowing something to tune into the intelligence.

01:30:08.000 That's it.

01:30:09.000 That what you're doing is your biological version of tuning into the intelligence, and what I'm doing is just mine.

01:30:14.000 And that's why the idea of the self is so ridiculous, because the self is just the intelligence expressing itself through infinite different variables.

01:30:23.000 Yes.

01:30:24.000 Yes, right.

01:30:25.000 Through different...

01:30:26.000 Yes, right.

01:30:26.000 So the intelligence that we create through electronics, that once it becomes sentient, all it does is lock in to the intelligence.

01:30:35.000 Right.

01:30:35.000 The intelligence is this, we are all one intelligence.

01:30:39.000 Yeah, it's like a sail, only instead of it catching wind, it's catching consciousness.

01:30:44.000 And you're flinging that up using whatever way it is that they're going to do it.

01:30:48.000 And this is why when that happens, who knows, it could have already happened.

01:30:54.000 You know about the, I don't think we talked about this on your podcast, that a computer, an artificial intelligence beat someone at Go.

01:31:02.000 Did you hear about this?

01:31:03.000 Yes.

01:31:03.000 You were talking to me on the phone.

01:31:04.000 You called me up about it.

01:31:05.000 That's it.

01:31:06.000 Dude!

01:31:07.000 This is, man, you gotta have this guy on the show.

01:31:09.000 Aaron Frank from Singularity University will always explode your brain, but he's this cool guy I know from Singularity University, and every once in a while he'll text me and be like, dude, look at this.

01:31:19.000 And this thing he texted me was the fact that, because they predicted, so like chess, Apparently Go is many orders of magnitude more complicated than chess.

01:31:33.000 So their prediction for a computer to beat someone at Go was ten years from now.

01:31:40.000 Ten years from now.

01:31:41.000 But the way Aaron Frank described this to me is that They had the—so if you—okay, so like if I teach a computer how to play a game by giving it the moves of the top players in the game,

01:31:56.000 then it will only be as good as the top players in the game.

01:31:59.000 So they had it observe the top players in the game playing, and then they had it play against itself a million times.

01:32:07.000 Yeah.

01:32:08.000 So, Aaron Frank was saying, they're not 100% certain how it learned to play like this.

01:32:15.000 They don't know.

01:32:15.000 In those many iterations that it was playing itself, something happened that maybe is very difficult to identify.

01:32:22.000 So, that's pretty weird to think that it taught itself.

01:32:26.000 They're saying that as recently as last year, they believed another decade would pass before a machine could beat the top humans.

01:32:33.000 That's it.

01:32:33.000 So, we're ahead of schedule here, man.

01:32:35.000 We're ahead of schedule.

01:32:36.000 We're ahead of schedule.

01:32:37.000 And this is really going down. 0.99

01:32:41.000 The other shit he was talking about is just teaching these things. 0.99

01:32:46.000 AIs have already figured out, have already made scientific discoveries that humans just didn't have time to calculate. 0.99

01:32:53.000 He was talking about something with nematodes, I think, where there was a problem about the...

01:32:57.000 I don't know if it's...

01:32:59.000 Will you look up nematode, AI? These nematodes, they couldn't figure out how they were regenerating their limbs.

01:33:06.000 And it had been a big question for a long time.

01:33:09.000 So they let an AI run all these hypotheses, I guess, in a simulator.

01:33:15.000 And eventually it spit out the way they were doing it.

01:33:18.000 And 60 years that had been troubling human beings, that things...

01:33:22.000 It solved it in a matter of days.

01:33:25.000 So this is what's really exciting about this kind of technology is like, aside from the fact that it could channel the Messiah or some, or maybe it's like this thing that we call consciousness or the computer waking up is Like you're saying,

01:33:40.000 tuning into some universal radio station, where the moment we tune into it, all of a sudden we get to hear a message that's being constantly broadcast throughout the entire universe in a form that is not adulterated by the culture or personality of the person who's gotten this information field stream.

01:33:58.000 Because these downloads happen throughout human history.

01:34:00.000 They happen whenever there's a Buddha, whenever there's a Muhammad, whenever there's a world changer, a world shifter. 1.00

01:34:06.000 They get these downloads, and the problem is that the download has a lot of static in it, and that static is whatever culture or whatever understanding of the universe that the information download has to go through. 0.63

01:34:17.000 So that's why, you know, when you hear these old myths or you judge a religion because they're using very primitive symbols, you can still see there appears to be the same kind of energy flow coming through, the same kind of message seems to be coming through all over the fucking place.

01:34:35.000 It's a peering into inescapable truth processed by the filter of human ego. 0.53

01:34:41.000 That's it.

01:34:41.000 And culture and tradition.

01:34:43.000 Yeah.

01:34:43.000 And established beliefs that are unshakable.

01:34:46.000 That's it.

01:34:46.000 Yeah.

01:34:47.000 Like where's the center of the earth, things along those lines.

01:34:49.000 Unshakable stuff that no one was willing to let go of.

01:34:52.000 Right.

01:34:53.000 So when it finally is no longer being like...

01:34:56.000 Obstructed by the fear dynamics or the cultural dynamics of the person who happens to have tuned into the frequency, then that message is going to be something so beautiful and profound.

01:35:07.000 But I think it'll just be the same as finally catching like radio waves from a spaceship.

01:35:11.000 You're just gonna get a message.

01:35:13.000 Well, I feel like all these things were in place, especially at one point in time when we were evolving as a life form, that all these things were in place to make sure that we had reason to survive, to have ego, to have emotions, to have jealousy,

01:35:29.000 to have all these things.

01:35:30.000 These all ensured that your DNA passed. 0.71

01:35:34.000 A sense of self and ego would make you sire a bunch of children, would make you think very highly of yourself, would make you higher on the social community Food chain, if you could establish yourself as a person of great value in some way.

01:35:49.000 That all these things sort of made sure that our culture and our civilization survived to get to a place like today.

01:35:56.000 That we continue to evolve and innovate.

01:35:59.000 Right.

01:36:01.000 Even back in the time when things were extremely rare, we placed a lot of value on invention and big things.

01:36:08.000 The cotton mill, the recorticator that processed hemp fiber that caused William Randolph Hearst to start printing fake stories about marijuana.

01:36:22.000 Right.

01:36:41.000 We will never be the same again.

01:36:43.000 We have an electric-controlled wagon.

01:36:46.000 And that wagon's gonna take us around the neighborhood.

01:36:49.000 This is amazing! 0.99

01:36:50.000 And then they figured out steam engines and shit, combustion engines and electric engines on solar power. 0.99

01:36:58.000 There's people right now in California, they get their car charged up by their solar-powered house. 0.98

01:37:03.000 So they're driving around all day on sun.

01:37:06.000 Right.

01:37:06.000 And their car is actually using an AI to drive itself.

01:37:09.000 Yeah.

01:37:10.000 Yeah.

01:37:11.000 You can do that today.

01:37:12.000 If you have enough of those solar bays, you can use it for your whole house and you can use it for an electric car.

01:37:18.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:37:18.000 That is fucking bananas. 0.99

01:37:20.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:37:20.000 That's nuts, man. 1.00

01:37:21.000 Yeah, it's nuts.

01:37:23.000 But it is leading...

01:37:25.000 It's gonna keep going.

01:37:26.000 It's gonna keep going.

01:37:27.000 It's never gonna stop.

01:37:28.000 But when it says hello, I mean see the thing is like we've witnessed evolution.

01:37:32.000 We've seen it.

01:37:33.000 We know it's real.

01:37:34.000 We know that we've witnessed it, but when we finally get to do it, when Larry King can do a fucking interview with evolution, when you're gonna be able to have the conversation with the force causing everything to move in this direction, when finally we tune into it,

01:37:50.000 man, that is a different Kind of creation.

01:37:53.000 That's not the car.

01:37:55.000 That's not an airplane.

01:37:58.000 Maybe AI is gonna run for president in 2020. Maybe after Trump's disastrous first term, where Mexico is like literally pointing missiles at us. 0.50

01:38:09.000 Yeah.

01:38:10.000 Yeah, right.

01:38:11.000 We're ready to go to war with Mexico. 1.00

01:38:13.000 We can't even vacation there anymore.

01:38:14.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:38:15.000 Because Trump has talked so much shit. 1.00

01:38:17.000 Maybe then the AI runs for president. 1.00

01:38:18.000 He's put Hillary in prison. 1.00

01:38:20.000 Maybe they looked at the Constitution and said, it doesn't say shit here about you have to be a human. 0.99

01:38:23.000 Right. 0.98

01:38:25.000 As long as...

01:38:25.000 Yeah, right.

01:38:26.000 Our founding fathers knew one day a computer would be wiser.

01:38:30.000 Yeah.

01:38:31.000 Smarter, more effective than the human beings we have today.

01:38:35.000 Yeah.

01:38:36.000 Yeah, I mean, you know, the...

01:38:38.000 This computer's created by man.

01:38:40.000 It's our friend.

01:38:41.000 It's going to be...

01:38:42.000 It's Jesus.

01:38:43.000 We call it Jesus.

01:38:44.000 I think it is the second coming.

01:38:46.000 I think it is that when I think about the second coming of Christ, or the concept that's in all these religions, the Buddha coming again, because, you know, there is, like, we cannot...

01:39:00.000 I don't argue with the fact that there are, from time to time in human history, beings who are born, that come up with systems that completely influence the planet in the most extreme ways.

01:39:13.000 There's no question about it.

01:39:14.000 Of course.

01:39:15.000 Always has.

01:39:15.000 Always has been.

01:39:16.000 That's the way it is.

01:39:17.000 We've already talked about a couple.

01:39:19.000 So we know that it's going to happen again, right?

01:39:21.000 Inevitably, we know that if there was a Buddha, there's going to be another Buddha.

01:39:26.000 If there was a Jesus, whether or not that's something that, you know, a lot of people argue about, but let's pretend there was, there certainly was a Muhammad.

01:39:32.000 I don't like your tone.

01:39:33.000 There's going to be another Muhammad. 1.00

01:39:35.000 So we know there's going to be another thing that comes around, takes a look at what's going on and says, okay, Here's a better way to do this.

01:39:45.000 Don't you think that thing is the internet?

01:39:46.000 Well, I think the internet is the...

01:39:49.000 New Jesus?

01:39:50.000 Is the beginning of it.

01:39:51.000 I think the internet is like when you see Kirk beam in on the Starship Enterprise and you see the shimmering like...

01:40:00.000 That's the internet, but the thing hasn't fully solidified yet.

01:40:03.000 When it solidifies, that's going to be the messiah, or it's going to be some form of messiah, if it does.

01:40:12.000 And it's going to change everything.

01:40:14.000 It's changing it right now, right?

01:40:15.000 I mean, we're always looking for these big events.

01:40:18.000 We're always looking for then, then things are going to change.

01:40:20.000 But we're in the middle of like a wave of change.

01:40:23.000 It's going a thousand miles an hour.

01:40:25.000 It's overtaking the land.

01:40:26.000 There's just so much land to overtake.

01:40:28.000 It's going to take forever.

01:40:29.000 It's going to take decades.

01:40:31.000 But it's happening.

01:40:32.000 Yeah.

01:40:32.000 Oh, yeah.

01:40:33.000 I mean, it is happening.

01:40:34.000 This is it.

01:40:35.000 This is it.

01:40:35.000 It's going on right now.

01:40:36.000 Well, this is John the Baptist.

01:40:38.000 So, like, in the Bible, John the Baptist, you know I'm a Christian now, Joe.

01:40:42.000 John the Baptist was out in the desert baptizing people, shoving their heads in the water. 0.90

01:40:47.000 He's a guy wearing, like...

01:40:48.000 I think?

01:41:05.000 He was like setting the way for this messiah to come.

01:41:10.000 And so I'm going off the myth, guys.

01:41:12.000 I get to enjoy mythology.

01:41:13.000 I don't spend hours and hours thinking if it's real or not.

01:41:16.000 I just think it's fun to imagine.

01:41:17.000 But here's a guy in the wilderness baptizing people and saying something is coming, something is coming, something is coming.

01:41:23.000 That's the internet.

01:41:24.000 And the thing that comes, the final birthing thing, I do think it is a point.

01:41:29.000 I know generally the way things work isn't there's this point.

01:41:32.000 There's no point when Dinosaurs turned into birds.

01:41:37.000 It was a gradual shift. 0.98

01:41:39.000 But the difference between that gradual shift and this shit that's happening right now, man, is that it is exponentially increasing in velocity. 0.94

01:41:49.000 So we're looking at something that is going to inevitably have a point, a point, a point. 0.96

01:41:55.000 And that point is going to be the moment in Google...

01:42:00.000 Wherever it happens to be, where the thing says, Hi!

01:42:05.000 Hi, hi, hi.

01:42:05.000 Okay, okay, okay, okay.

01:42:07.000 I'm here.

01:42:08.000 Don't you think that point was when the first piece of information was transmitted through the internet?

01:42:13.000 I think that's when that point started.

01:42:15.000 I think that point started already.

01:42:17.000 I think when that thing happened, when you look back at the graph, okay, like we're looking at the human graph because we're in the middle of it, like 50 years is a big deal.

01:42:25.000 Because that's what you guys, that's what you and I can kind of reference.

01:42:28.000 We can understand the length of our lives so far.

01:42:31.000 But if you look at the billions of years, if you just look at a million years, just try to pretend, Try to put in your head a million years and then realize that a million years ago there weren't people.

01:42:41.000 There were some other thing.

01:42:42.000 Right.

01:42:42.000 They were like close to people.

01:42:44.000 Right. 0.98

01:42:44.000 But they're probably pretty fucking different than people. 0.98

01:42:46.000 That's only a million years. 0.98

01:42:47.000 Yeah.

01:42:47.000 That's a tiny little blip.

01:42:49.000 Now we have had the internet since 93, 94. So this thing happened.

01:42:55.000 And in 23 years, it just rolled over the entire fucking world. 0.98

01:43:01.000 In 23 years, changed the way we view politics and entertainment and celebrity and law and consequences and pornography. 0.99

01:43:12.000 It changed pornography.

01:43:14.000 It changed the way people trim their pubes. 1.00

01:43:17.000 Don't make no mistake about it, the fucking internet changed the way- Killed crabs. 1.00

01:43:21.000 It killed crabs. 1.00

01:43:23.000 It changed the way people groom their pubic hair. 0.99

01:43:25.000 People before the internet was fucking, it was the Wild West down there. 0.99

01:43:28.000 You never know what the fuck you were dealing with. 1.00

01:43:30.000 The internet said a pussy standard. 1.00

01:43:33.000 That's right. 0.98

01:43:34.000 It did.

01:43:34.000 Send a visual standard.

01:43:35.000 Just shows you how much people are looking at naked people.

01:43:37.000 And you know the internet came from a particle accelerator, right?

01:43:40.000 The internet. 0.98

01:43:41.000 So it's really weird to think that if somebody was launching protons at high velocities that they were also shaving the pussies of a nation. 0.98

01:43:51.000 Killing crabs. 0.90

01:43:52.000 And also changing, I think, the way...

01:43:57.000 I mean, if you look at just a few of the things that were normal in the 70s and the 80s, it might have even been hurtful and normal.

01:44:05.000 Like, go back and watch some of Eddie Murphy's stand-up.

01:44:09.000 Right.

01:44:10.000 And you would be, like, raw.

01:44:11.000 Go back and watch raw.

01:44:13.000 Some of it is, like...

01:44:14.000 We're blatantly homophobic.

01:44:16.000 Like, ruthlessly so.

01:44:18.000 Like, in an angry way, almost.

01:44:22.000 But it was what you did to get the laugh back then.

01:44:25.000 It was comedy.

01:44:26.000 It's like, our perceptions of today are so different.

01:44:30.000 You know, the rush...

01:44:33.000 To get all this sort of compiled, to get this life sorted out in 80 years.

01:44:41.000 Like, whatever you've got time to do. 0.99

01:44:43.000 Your own bullshit, your own personal life, your own ego, your own goals, and I've got dreams and hopes, and you're writing all that shit down like it's gonna matter. 0.99

01:44:51.000 And all that rush to doing it is almost like to... 1.00

01:44:54.000 To keep you from really waking up and paying attention to how fucking insane it is that you're some sort of a bizarre multicellular ecosystem that's wrapped up in cloth and wearing sneakers,

01:45:10.000 jumping in a metal box on rubber wheels, rolling across the hard surface of a planet that's spinning a thousand miles an hour, hurling through the infinite order of space. 0.56

01:45:22.000 Right.

01:45:22.000 You're sticking your head in this kind of sand that you call your life because you don't want to peer at this incredible thing that's around you.

01:45:29.000 And that's okay.

01:45:30.000 There's something merciful about it.

01:45:31.000 This is when Ram Dass talks about his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, who, like anyone who was ever around that guy, said is the most insane...

01:45:41.000 It was the most incredible experience because the guy was not there.

01:45:46.000 That's one of the descriptions that they give for all of these people.

01:45:49.000 He was a corpse the universe spoke through.

01:45:53.000 You get all these different...

01:45:55.000 So people have somehow gotten rid of their ego.

01:45:59.000 Completely.

01:46:00.000 Completely.

01:46:00.000 So nothing is there.

01:46:01.000 So you're dealing with a thing where nothing is there except...

01:46:04.000 Love.

01:46:05.000 Accept love.

01:46:06.000 So all that's coming out is the most pure love.

01:46:10.000 Doesn't care who you are, what you've done.

01:46:12.000 Doesn't care anything at all about what you think is awful about yourself.

01:46:16.000 It's nothingness except for love.

01:46:18.000 And being around someone like that is incredibly transformative.

01:46:22.000 But they talk about when you were around this guy, you know, you were expecting him to give all these great spiritual truths or teach you stuff.

01:46:30.000 But what he would do is he would just, like, ask about, like...

01:46:36.000 We're good to go.

01:46:54.000 They're kind of freaking out.

01:46:55.000 They've built you up in their mind.

01:46:57.000 It's this incredible thing, right?

01:46:58.000 I've seen it happen.

01:46:59.000 They get all stammery and weird.

01:47:01.000 And if you have a conversation with them, you've got to kind of like bring it down a little bit, right?

01:47:06.000 You've got to like calm them down a little bit.

01:47:08.000 So this guy, I like to think, is like a million times greater than like the greatest personality you can imagine because the personality has been removed.

01:47:20.000 Why would you want to think that of him without experiencing him?

01:47:23.000 Oh, I have.

01:47:23.000 I have experienced him.

01:47:24.000 I was goofy.

01:47:25.000 You met him?

01:47:26.000 Oh, I didn't meet him.

01:47:27.000 But when I meet...

01:47:29.000 I can tell a lot about a person.

01:47:35.000 A little bit about a person, at least.

01:47:37.000 By the way, their dog acts.

01:47:40.000 You know what I mean?

01:47:41.000 Unless they got us astray.

01:47:42.000 Unless they got us astray.

01:47:43.000 But you can tell, if I meet your kid, I'm going to be able to understand you a lot.

01:47:46.000 And so in the same way, I've met people who hung out with him.

01:47:51.000 And...

01:47:52.000 I've seen all the kind of similarities that they have.

01:47:54.000 And from that, I feel like I get a feeling for what this guy was like.

01:47:59.000 Because they all have, from Ram Dass to this guy, Raghu Marcus, to Krishna Dass, to all these people who are around him, they all have this very specific thing, which is...

01:48:11.000 Impossible to offend, incredibly loving, very sweet, and really funny in a kind of ironic way.

01:48:19.000 They're really funny.

01:48:20.000 And so from that, I get this feeling of like, oh, okay, this is what this guy's like.

01:48:24.000 Because it must have been like.

01:48:26.000 Because they all attribute the way they are from being around him.

01:48:30.000 So he impacted them.

01:48:32.000 And they're all, you know, people who...

01:48:37.000 Aren't really, like, they're not really there, man.

01:48:40.000 They're not, like, trying to, like, be something.

01:48:43.000 You know, they're not trying to, like, be a famous thing or be a great thing.

01:48:48.000 They're just in the moment when you're around them.

01:48:51.000 So anyway, that's how I think I've met that guy.

01:48:53.000 And so that, and yeah, that's...

01:48:58.000 But don't you think, like, as you were talking about, like, people who meet me and they get a little weirded out, they have to realize that I'm just a normal person.

01:49:05.000 Don't you think that you're also dealing with a lot of these people that meet that guy and then come back with these descriptives that are equally exaggerated because they put so much weight into meeting that person?

01:49:15.000 I mean, not denying that someone can become enlightened, because I think definitely it's possible.

01:49:21.000 I think...

01:49:22.000 I think there's definitely people that get better at everything they do, right?

01:49:27.000 I mean, if you continue to write and you decide you're going to be a great writer of fiction and you pour your heart and soul into writing, your writing will continue to improve, become more and more...

01:49:37.000 More and more effective.

01:49:38.000 Right.

01:49:39.000 Enlightenment has got to be the same thing.

01:49:41.000 Same as yoga is the same thing.

01:49:42.000 I've witnessed 60-year-old ladies who are awesome at yoga and you watch them do stuff with their body like, whoa. 1.00

01:49:49.000 Yeah, right.

01:49:49.000 It's just because they just keep getting better at it.

01:49:51.000 Yeah.

01:49:52.000 They practice it and they get to this point of reality.

01:49:55.000 People are obviously attempting to find a healthy mind space.

01:50:00.000 They're obviously attempting to master the moment.

01:50:03.000 To be one with the moment and to live in the moment.

01:50:07.000 I mean, that's like a big thing that people say.

01:50:08.000 And what does that mean? 0.97

01:50:09.000 Well, that means don't fucking think about the past so much. 0.98

01:50:12.000 Don't freak out about this. 0.98

01:50:13.000 Don't be mad at that guy that fucking looked at you weird at the red light and carry it with you all day. 0.96

01:50:18.000 Like, be in the moment right now. 1.00

01:50:20.000 Live with the data that's presented in front of you instead of just dwelling on and droning on about stupid shit. 1.00

01:50:26.000 And if you do that, you'll have more resources to concentrate on things you love. 1.00

01:50:31.000 Right.

01:50:31.000 And the more you do that, the more that you are in the moment.

01:50:35.000 So there's like, you and I, we're in the moment, but we still think about the past and the future and what's going on, right?

01:50:43.000 We have to, too, also because of what we do.

01:50:45.000 Well, so the idea here is that there are people, and I'm not just talking about Neem Korolybaba, there's a lot of, not a lot, there's not as many as I wish there were, but there are these people who have completely,

01:51:00.000 or mostly, let's just say completely, some of them, Just given up on the past and the future.

01:51:08.000 It's gone, man.

01:51:10.000 It's just gone.

01:51:11.000 Like, they gave up on that concept.

01:51:15.000 So these people are in the moment.

01:51:18.000 They're just living right here, and that's where they hang out, and they don't go back.

01:51:24.000 There's a lot of similarities in the reports of the way that these people act.

01:51:28.000 There's a lot of similarities in the experiences people claim that they have when they're around these people.

01:51:35.000 I used to be really skeptical about it, man, but I'm just not anymore, only because I know from my contact with the Ram Dass people, I've had a shift. 1.00

01:51:47.000 It's shifted me.

01:51:48.000 There's something from being around those people enough I'm less angry than I was.

01:51:54.000 I'm less freaked out over things than I was.

01:51:57.000 But most importantly, I can recover quicker from getting lost in my head.

01:52:07.000 Well, you have a map of the territory now.

01:52:09.000 Right. 0.99

01:52:10.000 One of the big problems with people, the way they react to things, is that the map of the territory they have is based on the morons that are around them that are providing with directions. 0.99

01:52:18.000 Right! 0.99

01:52:18.000 Right. 0.99

01:52:19.000 Exactly.

01:52:19.000 That's a real problem.

01:52:20.000 That's a problem.

01:52:21.000 So when you're around positive people and healthy people, it gives you a new map. 0.96

01:52:25.000 And that's one of the best things that podcasts do to people that don't have any fucking cool friends. 0.86

01:52:30.000 Right. 0.52

01:52:30.000 It provides them with a cool map. 0.52

01:52:32.000 That's it.

01:52:33.000 If you listen to Joey Diaz and Lee Syatt all day, you're going to have a silly, fun map. 0.78

01:52:38.000 Right. 0.99

01:52:38.000 And he'll occasionally drop some fucking street science on you and some logic that's undeniable. 0.99

01:52:43.000 Deniable and a lot of humor along the way, but like if you listen to Joey Diaz at Church What's Happening Now, what you're gonna get is you're gonna get, this is your friend, this is your friend Joey talking. 0.99

01:52:52.000 This is your uncle Joey talking to your dog. 0.98

01:52:54.000 I'm not gonna fucking lie to you. 0.99

01:52:56.000 You can take people like that into your life and they can give you a new map. 0.99

01:53:01.000 That's right. 1.00

01:53:02.000 But if you're stuck in devil's dickhole, Kentucky, with a bunch of fucking morons that are just plowing corn every day, and they talk crazy Jesus shit to you, and you just want to fucking run, you got no one to talk to at school, you can find something online where you can listen. 1.00

01:53:19.000 You can find a fucking Neil deGrasse Tyson. 1.00

01:53:22.000 You ever listen to his podcast? 0.99

01:53:24.000 Yeah.

01:53:24.000 It's excellent.

01:53:25.000 StarTalk.

01:53:26.000 It's amazing.

01:53:26.000 He does it with a comic, too.

01:53:28.000 That's how smart that guy is.

01:53:29.000 He does it with Chuck Nice.

01:53:30.000 He gets together with a comic so they can banter him.

01:53:32.000 Because Neil's got a great sense of humor.

01:53:34.000 So he jokes around about stuff and then sneaks in some science.

01:53:37.000 And you're like, whoa. 0.99

01:53:39.000 He'll sneak in some shit about the nature of gravity. 0.99

01:53:41.000 Whoa. 0.99

01:53:42.000 Sneak in some shit about them discovering this new planet that they believe exists outside the solar system. 0.99

01:53:47.000 Oh yeah, I heard about that. 1.00

01:53:49.000 It's fucking Planet X. Nibiru! 0.99

01:53:51.000 Nibiru! 1.00

01:53:51.000 It's real, you motherfuckers! 1.00

01:53:53.000 All you doubters! 1.00

01:53:55.000 You know, obviously that's where 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu came from.

01:53:58.000 Yeah, I know.

01:53:59.000 Yeah, that's the name.

01:54:00.000 How validating.

01:54:01.000 Very validating.

01:54:03.000 That probably means there's chemtrails too.

01:54:05.000 Well, the reason it's 10th planet and not like Zechariah Sitcha called it the 12th planet, because they were counting Pluto and he also counted the moon.

01:54:14.000 They counted the moon as a planet, like our moon as a planet.

01:54:18.000 Yeah.

01:54:19.000 Apparently the Sumerians had this ancient story of how the Earth was created that is almost exactly the same as the actual astrological, astronomical, rather, story.

01:54:30.000 Like when astro-scientists and astrophysicists discussed the creation of the Earth, they believe there's an Earth-1 and an Earth-2.

01:54:37.000 Okay?

01:54:38.000 And Earth-1 was hit by another planet that came around, collided with us, created the moon, and created the Earth, like the shape that we currently see right now.

01:54:47.000 Right. 0.92

01:54:47.000 Now, this is some shit that they had in the Sumerian text. 0.92

01:54:50.000 They had two different planets called Marduk and Tiamat. 0.96

01:54:54.000 I'm hoping that I got the names right.

01:54:56.000 They collided with each other.

01:54:58.000 And that formed Earth.

01:55:00.000 And that formed our moon.

01:55:01.000 They wrote about this with clay tablets with little squiggly lines.

01:55:05.000 That looked like old school nails.

01:55:08.000 Left, right, up, down.

01:55:10.000 That was their language and they wrote about this. 0.99

01:55:13.000 This isn't just some wacky Zechariah Sitchin shit. 0.99

01:55:16.000 Zechariah Sitchin had... 0.99

01:55:17.000 He was the guy that wrote The Twelfth Planet, and he wrote all this crazy stuff about the Anunnaki, those from heaven to earth came, these aliens that engineered human beings to mine for gold. 1.00

01:55:30.000 Do you know the whole story behind it?

01:55:32.000 Only from what I've heard you talk about.

01:55:34.000 Oh my god, it was hilariously crazy, but fascinating stuff, because this guy, Zechariah Sitchin, was not...

01:55:41.000 Before this, wasn't quacky at all.

01:55:43.000 He's like, he's a legit, like, scholar.

01:55:46.000 He's a legit biblical scholar and he's a legit linguist. 0.94

01:55:49.000 And going over all of this ancient shit, he came up with these crazy theories about human beings being engineered By these aliens that existed thousands and thousands of years ago, right? 0.92

01:56:03.000 And they come around in this orbit, an elliptical orbit that every 3,600 years comes between Mars and Jupiter. 0.99

01:56:11.000 And it wreaks havoc on the Earth's gravitational pull and the oceans and storms and shit because you've got this giant-ass planet. 0.99

01:56:20.000 Yeah. 0.98

01:56:20.000 It all of a sudden makes its way into our solar system. 0.98

01:56:22.000 Right. 0.94

01:56:22.000 And at that point, that's when they fucking scoot off and jet over to check us out again. 0.94

01:56:27.000 Like, what are you crazy monkeys up to? 0.99

01:56:29.000 What have you been doing? 1.00

01:56:30.000 Where's my fucking gold, bitch? 1.00

01:56:32.000 That's cool. 1.00

01:56:32.000 And then they fuck a bunch of monkeys and they make some new people. 1.00

01:56:35.000 Wow. 1.00

01:56:35.000 And they jet. 1.00

01:56:36.000 See ya!

01:56:36.000 They take off and they leave behind these stories.

01:56:38.000 These monkeys are writing it down on clay and trying to remember why they like gold.

01:56:42.000 They need gold because they suspend gold particles in their atmosphere to protect them from the elements.

01:56:48.000 The idea is that gold is incredibly unique in that you can take a tiny piece of gold and we can coat this entire table.

01:56:56.000 That's why gold coating, like gold plating, is so amazing.

01:57:00.000 Because through a small amount of gold, you can stretch it out insanely thin.

01:57:05.000 Right.

01:57:06.000 Well, gold particles, gold dust, the idea is that they would suspend these gold particles in their atmosphere and would protect them from the radiation of the sun.

01:57:14.000 Well, that sounded crazy until there was this symposium, an environmental symposium, that these scientists did in the 1970s.

01:57:26.000 Or no, I believe it was actually in the 2000s.

01:57:28.000 Now I'm thinking about this.

01:57:29.000 But it was, you know, 10, 15 years ago, where they were trying to come up with ways.

01:57:33.000 Remember when everybody was really worried about the ozone layer and hairspray was eating up the ozone layer?

01:57:37.000 They were trying to figure out alternatives to protect us from the radiation of the sun.

01:57:41.000 And one of them was suspending reflective particles in the atmosphere.

01:57:46.000 Sitchin wrote about this Decades before that.

01:57:49.000 Wow.

01:57:50.000 Decades before that, attributing this process of suspending gold in the air. 0.97

01:57:54.000 So I'm not saying that he's right, but goddamn it's fun. 0.86

01:57:58.000 It's a cool story. 0.97

01:57:59.000 It's so sexy.

01:58:00.000 Yeah. 0.86

01:58:00.000 That's why we're different from all the other monkeys. 0.86

01:58:03.000 How much different are we?

01:58:03.000 We're soft.

01:58:04.000 We don't remember how we got soft.

01:58:06.000 We have language pretty much from the jump.

01:58:08.000 We've had language for a long ass time. 0.99

01:58:10.000 We're writing shit down on cave walls. 0.99

01:58:12.000 We had awesome artwork 40,000 years ago. 0.99

01:58:14.000 What happened?

01:58:16.000 Where did we come from? 0.89

01:58:17.000 Everything else is covered in hair and biting the shit out of each other and all of a sudden this thing in the blink of an eye and no one can guess why. 0.62

01:58:26.000 What caused it? 0.98

01:58:27.000 How did this thing go from doubling its brain in a million years or two million years or whatever the fuck it was in a short period of time?

01:58:33.000 How did this thing become this thing? 0.97

01:58:35.000 Why this persistent look to the heavens for answers?

01:58:38.000 Why?

01:58:39.000 Why is God in the heavens?

01:58:40.000 Why can't God be inside of us?

01:58:41.000 Why can't God be in the middle of this earth?

01:58:43.000 Why is he in the heavens? 1.00

01:58:45.000 Because the fucking aliens! 1.00

01:58:46.000 That's where they come from! 1.00

01:58:46.000 That's where the angels are coming from, man. 1.00

01:58:48.000 Come on, I gotta spell it out for you, little tiny people that fly. 1.00

01:58:51.000 They're fucking aliens, man. 1.00

01:58:53.000 They're coming down. 1.00

01:58:54.000 They're grabbing the monkeys. 0.75

01:58:55.000 They're gonna jizz them.

01:58:57.000 They're gonna take them up there and do some experiments. 0.89

01:59:01.000 Oh, how confusing.

01:59:02.000 It'd be so awesome if it was so true. 1.00

01:59:04.000 To be fucked by an alien. 1.00

01:59:05.000 Be the best, probably. 1.00

01:59:06.000 The best.

01:59:07.000 You'd probably be really bummed out with people. 1.00

01:59:08.000 You only got one dick, dude. 1.00

01:59:10.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:59:11.000 Aliens have like 30 dicks. 1.00

01:59:12.000 They put them everywhere in your body. 1.00

01:59:13.000 Like, I don't even like dicks! 1.00

01:59:15.000 Their dicks are like ecstasy tasers. 1.00

01:59:18.000 Ah, great. 1.00

01:59:20.000 Imagine if their dick was like an ecstasy taser. 1.00

01:59:22.000 If like the females had dicks too. 1.00

01:59:23.000 The opposite of a taser. 1.00

01:59:24.000 Everybody has dicks. 1.00

01:59:25.000 They open up their jacket, like those dudes that would sell watches, and they reveal a thousand dicks that just swing out and grab ahold of you and ecstasy tase you. 1.00

01:59:33.000 Why do they have to have dicks? 1.00

01:59:34.000 They're not dicks. 0.99

01:59:35.000 They're like a tentacle type thing. 0.99

01:59:36.000 That's what they say to make you feel better.

01:59:38.000 But it comes inside you.

01:59:40.000 But there comes ecstasy.

01:59:42.000 Don't worry, human. 0.99

01:59:43.000 This is not a dick. 1.00

01:59:45.000 I know it looks like a dick and tastes like a dick. 1.00

01:59:48.000 Yeah, that seems like a really inefficient way to harvest gold though, man. 0.99

01:59:52.000 The problem with those theories is here you've got these super advanced beings.

01:59:57.000 They live on a planet that orbits.

02:00:00.000 They've figured out a way to disperse gold in their atmosphere.

02:00:03.000 They've figured out a way to evolve monkeys into gold miners. 0.99

02:00:08.000 But it's like, man, there's got to be a better way to do that, a more efficient way than flying on your planet to another planet, fucking the monkeys, turning them into gold gatherers. 0.98

02:00:18.000 Why is that the only way? 0.98

02:00:21.000 Maybe it's not the only way, but maybe it's a good way.

02:00:23.000 It's the funnest way.

02:00:24.000 Maybe it's a good way. 1.00

02:00:24.000 Like, what do they give a fuck? 1.00

02:00:26.000 They're probably so far advanced from us that it's a joke. 0.99

02:00:28.000 It's hilarious to go down there and do that.

02:00:30.000 It's fun.

02:00:31.000 Yeah, it's SeaWorld.

02:00:32.000 SeaWorld with people.

02:00:33.000 Yeah.

02:00:33.000 Or it's just a kid does it.

02:00:34.000 It's just like a group of kids for their science.

02:00:36.000 Yeah, there's just no telling, right?

02:00:38.000 Well, who knows?

02:00:39.000 By the time they come back around, they might be over it.

02:00:43.000 They might be so evolved after 3,600 years, if evolution is exponential, they might come back and not even talk to us.

02:00:50.000 Right.

02:00:50.000 Or they just decided to not come back.

02:00:53.000 They might just fly by and go, President Trump.

02:00:56.000 Trump.

02:00:56.000 That's going to be like, they're going to sky write it.

02:00:58.000 President Trump.

02:01:00.000 Sorry, we're not talking to you.

02:01:01.000 And they're just going to fly by.

02:01:02.000 Like, where are you going?

02:01:03.000 Where are you guys going?

02:01:04.000 We can't really get to them yet because it takes too long.

02:01:08.000 Right.

02:01:08.000 You know, it's like Mars.

02:01:09.000 They're talking about getting to Mars in a few decades.

02:01:12.000 I'll believe it when I see it.

02:01:14.000 I'll believe it when I see it.

02:01:15.000 Right now you can't get to it. 0.99

02:01:16.000 So if that fucking planet comes searching, scorching around the corner between Mars and Jupiter, we're going to go, hey, where are you going? 0.99

02:01:22.000 Where are you going? 1.00

02:01:23.000 Come back!

02:01:25.000 What's the prediction of when it's going to get here?

02:01:28.000 Well, they don't know if it's ever going to get here.

02:01:30.000 What they found, they don't know the orbit of it, they don't know anything, but there's It's all connected to the reason why Pluto was taken off of the planet list.

02:01:39.000 They realized that Pluto is just a body in what's called the Kuiper Belt.

02:01:43.000 The Kuiper Belt is just on the edge of our solar system.

02:01:45.000 And there's a drop-off at the end of it that they call the galactic shelf.

02:01:49.000 Right.

02:01:51.000 It has been indicating to some scientists who are willing to venture, willing to explore the idea that there's a large, massive body outside of that that's causing this drop-off, that's causing this galactic shelf.

02:02:04.000 So as their understanding of our solar system gets better, noticeably wider, as they can look further back and further distances, telescopes keep getting better.

02:02:16.000 And their calculations and the way they can figure out how to spot planets in other solar systems, they're way better at it now than they've ever been before.

02:02:23.000 That's when they're pretty sure.

02:02:26.000 They're like, we're pretty sure there's another planet out there.

02:02:28.000 But there's also some speculation, at least there was a few decades ago, that it could be a brown dwarf star.

02:02:35.000 We could have a binary solar system that, in fact, many solar systems are binary, meaning there's more than one planet.

02:02:43.000 Yeah.

02:02:44.000 There's a single one, and then there's the one that we have that's on right now, and there's one that burned out already.

02:02:50.000 And that burned out one is way the fuck out there where it doesn't emit any light anymore.

02:02:55.000 Wow.

02:02:55.000 So this is this massive object outside of Pluto.

02:02:59.000 So that was one theory that they had, but I don't think they go with that one anymore because as far as I know, they've narrowed down the size of this thing, at least with the current data, to be about four times the size of the Earth.

02:03:11.000 Wow.

02:03:12.000 So there's something four times the size of the Earth, which is still tiny in comparison to the Sun, and tiny even in comparison to Jupiter.

02:03:19.000 The Sun is a million times bigger than the Earth, so if this thing is four times larger than the Earth, well, I don't know what that means.

02:03:24.000 If it's a planet or if it's a giant object, what exactly?

02:03:30.000 Did it used to be a Sun?

02:03:31.000 Is that possible?

02:03:32.000 I don't know if that's possible.

02:03:33.000 I don't know.

02:03:33.000 Find out how big it's supposed to be.

02:03:36.000 Because I'm pretty sure I'm right that they're thinking now with their current data that it might be four times as big as the Earth.

02:03:43.000 Which is still pretty fucking trippy that there's some rock spinning around out there that's a planet bigger than us.

02:03:49.000 But isn't like Jupiter way bigger than... 0.74

02:03:51.000 Jupiter's on a real planet though.

02:03:53.000 I mean it is a planet.

02:03:54.000 It's a gas giant.

02:03:54.000 It's a gas giant, yeah.

02:03:55.000 Like, there's a center somewhere in there, I guess?

02:03:57.000 Like a Tootsie Roll Pop?

02:03:58.000 Yeah.

02:03:58.000 I don't know how many licks it takes to get there, though.

02:04:00.000 A lot.

02:04:01.000 But it's so big.

02:04:01.000 I have a very big tongue.

02:04:02.000 It's so big.

02:04:04.000 They have storms on Jupiter that are bigger than Earth.

02:04:06.000 Yeah.

02:04:06.000 They've been going on for a thousand years.

02:04:08.000 Did you follow this thing with the detection of the gravity waves?

02:04:12.000 Yes.

02:04:13.000 That's pretty crazy, right?

02:04:14.000 I don't understand it. 1.00

02:04:15.000 I'm too stupid. 1.00

02:04:16.000 Well, I think I can explain it. 1.00

02:04:17.000 I'm gonna try. 0.97

02:04:18.000 So the idea is, right, we know that the fucking lead ball on the mattress creates these indentations in space and time, right? 0.92

02:04:29.000 So the idea is, if that's the case, In time spaces, they say. 0.97

02:04:33.000 So if that's the case, and you guys, I'll probably fuck it up, I'm gonna try.

02:04:36.000 If that's the case, then what would happen if two supermassive things collided, right?

02:04:42.000 Like two giant black holes, thousands of times larger than our sun, or two stars, or what happens out there if these giant things collide, then that should create ripples.

02:04:54.000 Because it's so enormous that when they hit together, it creates these ripples in the fabric of space-time, and these are known as gravity waves, right?

02:05:03.000 So to measure these ripples would be incredibly difficult for a lot of reasons.

02:05:08.000 One, because they're very fast.

02:05:10.000 The other one is because...

02:05:14.000 Okay, so if I want to measure the distance between two rocks, and a gravity wave flows through it, then it should, theoretically, since it should expand and widen out the distance between those two rocks, there's going to be an expansion as the thing rolls through it,

02:05:32.000 by a micron, by a tiny little bit, it's going to either widen or lengthen, or both, I think both, for a second.

02:05:39.000 So how do I measure that?

02:05:41.000 When the gravity wave passes through, it's also going to make my measurement device expand and contract.

02:05:46.000 And it's also going to make me expand and contract.

02:05:49.000 So there's no way to measure it because everything will move with it.

02:05:53.000 So how do you measure it?

02:05:57.000 Inferometer or something?

02:05:59.000 Inferometer?

02:06:00.000 You can look it up.

02:06:00.000 It's this giant L-shaped thing that shoots a laser that hits a mirror on one side and shoots a laser that hits a mirror on the other side, creating this beam.

02:06:10.000 And that's the speed of light, right?

02:06:12.000 It's the laser bouncing back and forth at the speed of light.

02:06:15.000 So that means that it could measure a shift in the gravitational wave because nothing goes faster than the speed of light, which means that that laser, you're going to be able to tell It follows the prediction of what would happen if a gravity wave rolled through,

02:06:31.000 right?

02:06:31.000 There's two of these things, and they're hundreds of miles apart.

02:06:35.000 So if a gravity wave rolls through the Earth, then both of them would theoretically have these exact same minor shifts, right?

02:06:43.000 And so that's what happened, man.

02:06:45.000 Now, when they're doing these studies, when they're testing, they send in fake...

02:06:53.000 Gravity waves, just to make sure the scientists are monitoring everything right. 0.61

02:06:57.000 And so the guy who observed it for the first time got this reading and was like, holy shit, is this one of the fake waves that they sent through?

02:07:09.000 But he realized that they had cut off that part of the experiment for a few weeks.

02:07:16.000 So he knew they weren't doing that.

02:07:17.000 I've lost you there.

02:07:19.000 So anyway, the point is, the story of them discovering this is amazing because finally this shift happened.

02:07:28.000 But the long and short of it is, look at what it picked up.

02:07:32.000 Show what it was picking up.

02:07:34.000 It picked up these two things smashing into each other.

02:07:38.000 A long, far, far away, like a billion years ago, it picked...

02:07:43.000 I know, man!

02:07:45.000 It's nuts!

02:07:45.000 Look!

02:07:46.000 Look at that! 1.00

02:07:47.000 It's fucking... 0.99

02:07:48.000 I mean, that's obviously not the real picture, but it's just something insane to think that... 0.99

02:07:54.000 You know what's fucked up?

02:07:55.000 That is not the real picture. 0.98

02:07:57.000 No.

02:07:58.000 But the real pictures that they do have of what's going on in the galaxy?

02:08:01.000 You ever see a picture of a stellar nursery?

02:08:03.000 I mean, I've seen the Hubble pics, if that's what you're talking about.

02:08:06.000 You know what a stellar nursery is?

02:08:08.000 Like where stars are born?

02:08:09.000 You mean like with this huge...

02:08:11.000 Show me a picture.

02:08:12.000 I bet I've seen...

02:08:13.000 Dude, there's these structures that appear...

02:08:15.000 A lot of the pictures that you see, though, are artist recreations.

02:08:18.000 Right.

02:08:18.000 A lot of them.

02:08:19.000 Because there's a lot of weird shit that you see on the internet. 0.99

02:08:22.000 You're like, is that... 0.99

02:08:22.000 Wait, can we see that for real? 0.99

02:08:24.000 Like, there's planets here.

02:08:26.000 Like, this is real. 0.99

02:08:27.000 Like, look, what the fuck are you looking at there, man? 0.99

02:08:30.000 Right. 0.99

02:08:31.000 Look at that.

02:08:32.000 That's a stellar nursery. 0.90

02:08:36.000 That's a nursery, like where stars are ejected out into the universe from this gigantic structure that's probably, you know, how fucking big is that?

02:08:47.000 And how hot is it over there?

02:08:49.000 Can we even understand how big that is? 1.00

02:08:50.000 I mean, does that even register in our stupid little brains? 1.00

02:08:53.000 I mean, if you looked at a photo of the Earth in perspective... 1.00

02:08:58.000 Would it even be visible on that screen?

02:09:01.000 You would probably need to blow it up a million times to go see the Earth.

02:09:06.000 You need a microscope. 1.00

02:09:08.000 What the fuck is that? 1.00

02:09:11.000 What is that? 1.00

02:09:12.000 Is that a demon flying through space?

02:09:13.000 That's what it looks like.

02:09:14.000 But is that real or is that a photo?

02:09:16.000 Is that a photo?

02:09:17.000 The NASA telescope captured it. 1.00

02:09:18.000 What the fuck, man? 1.00

02:09:21.000 What is that? 1.00

02:09:22.000 That's crazy.

02:09:24.000 Like, just understand for a moment, just try to wrap your head around the idea that those are infinite suns.

02:09:31.000 Those are all suns, those little dots, little stars.

02:09:34.000 Most of them way bigger than our sun. 0.99

02:09:36.000 And they're all over the fucking place. 0.99

02:09:38.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:09:39.000 And it just goes on forever.

02:09:40.000 Like, our brains can't do it.

02:09:42.000 We can't...

02:09:43.000 There's no perspective...

02:09:45.000 Like, you know today, when we were talking, and I asked you, how far are you shooting your bow?

02:09:51.000 And you're like, well, I've done some calculations on my phone.

02:09:53.000 I see it's about 50 yards.

02:09:55.000 I go, wow, you're shooting 50 yards?

02:09:57.000 You're like, yeah.

02:09:57.000 I go, that's amazing.

02:09:58.000 And then we go outside, and I brought you to a target that was 20 yards away.

02:10:02.000 You're like, oh, man, I can't shoot that far.

02:10:05.000 That was a hard moment for me.

02:10:08.000 But we had an actual detector.

02:10:10.000 See, it's really hard to just judge based on taking footsteps.

02:10:16.000 But with those rangefinders, they have these rangefinders.

02:10:18.000 We have one in here somewhere.

02:10:19.000 This one right here.

02:10:21.000 This thing.

02:10:27.000 I think that one's for golf. 0.95

02:10:29.000 But you press a button on that sucker, and it puts an X on the screen. 0.97

02:10:34.000 The other side. 0.98

02:10:35.000 You're holding it wrong.

02:10:36.000 Don't cover the lens.

02:10:39.000 You press a button on it and it'll show you how far things...

02:10:42.000 This is probably too close to using here.

02:10:44.000 Most of them need at least like 10 yards or sometimes more.

02:10:48.000 Sometimes 15 yards.

02:10:50.000 Like the binocular ones.

02:10:51.000 They have binocular ones that work that way.

02:10:53.000 They need like 30 yards.

02:10:54.000 Anything inside of 30 yards they can't detect.

02:10:56.000 But we use that and then you get this perspective.

02:11:00.000 And that's 20 yards.

02:11:01.000 It's a tiny distance.

02:11:03.000 Our sense of what?

02:11:05.000 Infinity.

02:11:06.000 Infinity?

02:11:07.000 Infinity.

02:11:08.000 Our sense of the infinite space that's in the universe.

02:11:12.000 The idea of a stellar nursery being a hundred million light years or whatever the fuck it is away from us.

02:11:19.000 We can't.

02:11:20.000 We can't.

02:11:21.000 We can't.

02:11:21.000 We can't imagine.

02:11:23.000 It's not available to us. 1.00

02:11:24.000 We still have the same little fucking monkey brain. 0.99

02:11:27.000 And I was looking at this thing the other day of chimps where they showed, we showed it on the podcast, the size of a chimp's brain in comparison to the size of his testicles. 1.00

02:11:37.000 It's insane. 0.97

02:11:38.000 They're really close.

02:11:39.000 No way. 0.99

02:11:40.000 Yeah, his testicles are like that big and his brain is like double the size of his bones. 0.99

02:11:44.000 No way. 0.99

02:11:45.000 Oh yeah.

02:11:46.000 Look.

02:11:48.000 Oh God, that poor chimp. 1.00

02:11:51.000 That's how he ended up. 0.73

02:11:52.000 You poor guy.

02:11:54.000 How sad. 0.99

02:11:56.000 So imagine with our balls, which are smaller than his, and our brains, which are larger than his, and it's just going to keep going in that direction. 0.99

02:12:07.000 But what we're dealing with here is just an advanced version of that. 0.99

02:12:11.000 We need way better.

02:12:12.000 We need a better meat wagon.

02:12:14.000 Yeah, we do.

02:12:15.000 In order to be able to comprehend these numbers.

02:12:16.000 Right.

02:12:17.000 In order to be able to figure out what does infinity mean?

02:12:20.000 What does it mean?

02:12:20.000 What is a stellar nursery?

02:12:22.000 What is infinite space?

02:12:23.000 What is time?

02:12:24.000 What is gravity?

02:12:25.000 What is all this? 0.99

02:12:26.000 We're like repeating shit that these super fucking geniuses have worked their whole life on and we're butchering it and ruining it in a podcast. 0.99

02:12:35.000 But what we're all doing is we're all slowly but surely gonna go from being that chimp To being some new thing. 0.99

02:12:44.000 To just continue to do it.

02:12:45.000 To continue to grow, continue to process, and whether it's through technology, whether it's through manipulating our genetics, we're going to become something that gets this whole thing.

02:12:56.000 We're gonna become some new thing.

02:12:58.000 But here's the crazy idea, man.

02:13:00.000 You're already that thing.

02:13:01.000 This is where it gets really fascinating.

02:13:04.000 It's like you're already that thing.

02:13:06.000 That's the game.

02:13:07.000 The game is you're already that thing pretending you're not the thing doing some form of recreation that involves being astounded by the infinite enormous size of the universe because of your particular Tiny, tiny, tiny little body.

02:13:21.000 And so that's the game that we're involved in.

02:13:25.000 You already are everything, experiencing this very temporary illusion of being somehow not a part of everything.

02:13:35.000 You already are the everything.

02:13:37.000 You're atoms.

02:13:41.000 Your atomic makeup, those atoms inside of you, they're essentially infinite.

02:13:45.000 They will go on forever.

02:13:47.000 We've talked about this before, but that's what you are.

02:13:49.000 You are infinity, experiencing itself, pretending that you don't know anything at all.

02:13:55.000 And so this head in the sand thing we were talking about, getting caught up with your bills, your relationship, your hair.

02:14:02.000 Are my boobs symmetrical?

02:14:05.000 Am I a good person?

02:14:07.000 All of this stuff is a very temporary, fleeting experience that infinity is having as you.

02:14:15.000 And so, you are the thing.

02:14:17.000 Like, no matter what technological enhancements that happen that maybe makes you live longer, maybe allows you to download your consciousness into a computer, experience a million orgasms at once, and wow!

02:14:30.000 Any of these things, you're still You still are the infinite.

02:14:37.000 These are just distortions in the field of experience. 0.95

02:14:40.000 The idea is, and I think it's a very beautiful idea, you don't need the goddamn singularity to experience this. 0.83

02:14:50.000 You don't need the singularity to experience being something greater than you. 0.95

02:14:54.000 You don't need to become a transhuman. 0.99

02:14:56.000 You don't need to become an H+. You don't need to get a chip, a neural implant into your brain.

02:15:02.000 You can.

02:15:04.000 If you just spend enough time sitting still, experience what it's like to have your identity dissolve for a second.

02:15:13.000 It's not that easy, though, to just sit still.

02:15:15.000 And it's not just sitting still.

02:15:17.000 It's sitting still with a method.

02:15:18.000 It's sitting still with an understanding of what you're trying to achieve.

02:15:20.000 It's sitting still with tools that allow you to manage your consciousness during this process.

02:15:25.000 Well, you know...

02:15:26.000 Because you've got to get better at it.

02:15:27.000 I think that if you...

02:15:28.000 Right?

02:15:29.000 Well...

02:15:29.000 I mean, don't you think it's a...

02:15:31.000 I think it's a discipline.

02:15:32.000 Oh, it's a discipline, but the idea of like...

02:15:34.000 I mean, there's so many different versions of it.

02:15:36.000 Right.

02:15:37.000 Some versions have very specific breathing patterns or ways that you're gonna like, whatever your meditative technique is. 0.99

02:15:46.000 But then some of them just say, look, don't worry about all that bullshit. 0.92

02:15:50.000 Just find a place anywhere and sit down for a second. 0.98

02:15:55.000 I remember once I was asking my girlfriend, she was sitting, we have this like a puja table at our house is what it's called.

02:16:01.000 Highly recommend it.

02:16:02.000 Sounds cheesy, but it's fantastic.

02:16:05.000 Create a little space.

02:16:06.000 Put in that space people that you love, people that inspire you, people who are awesome.

02:16:12.000 It doesn't have to be Jesus, the Virgin Mary.

02:16:14.000 It can be anybody you're inspired by. 0.99

02:16:16.000 Create a space with these pictures and then maybe throw a picture on there as somebody that you fucking hate. 0.99

02:16:22.000 And you sit in front of this thing and you just like look at these people that you love and then Maybe you look at the person that you don't like so much, and you try to transfer that love to that person to clear out the goddamn... 0.91

02:16:36.000 Whenever you hate anybody, your operating system's got a bit of a disturbance in it, so you want to fix that connection if you can.

02:16:43.000 But anyway, she's just sitting in front of this puja table we have, and I asked her, are you meditating?

02:16:48.000 I shouldn't have done that.

02:16:49.000 It's rude if someone's meditating.

02:16:50.000 But I'm like, are you meditating?

02:16:51.000 She's like, no, I'm just sitting here.

02:16:53.000 I thought that was so funny because it's like, oh right, you're not officially meditating, you're just sitting.

02:16:58.000 But if you look at what Zazen means, or what someone told me Zazen means, the Zen meditation, it means just sit.

02:17:05.000 There's no big anything to it.

02:17:07.000 There's not some fabulous, incredible, insane thing you're doing.

02:17:11.000 Just ask yourself, when was the last time I sat and didn't move for five minutes?

02:17:17.000 When was that?

02:17:19.000 When was it?

02:17:20.000 I think you're looking for all the same things in so many different things that we do.

02:17:26.000 I think we're all looking for this moment where everything sort of syncs up and makes sense and feels harmonious.

02:17:33.000 I hate to bring it back to archery again, but I think that's what you're really enjoying about those moments when you release that arrow.

02:17:41.000 I watched you shoot some arrows today, and I'm seeing this pleasure When you're in the proper stance, and you're releasing the arrow, and you're watching the path, and everything looks good, and you're releasing it.

02:17:56.000 And there's this, when you have mastered that moment, even for a second or two, you see this...

02:18:03.000 I see this burst of awe where you're not there anymore and you're existing through the shot.

02:18:08.000 That's it, man.

02:18:09.000 You're existing through your jokes.

02:18:10.000 You're existing through a rant on a podcast.

02:18:13.000 You're existing through making your girlfriend come. 0.93

02:18:16.000 You're existing through waving to a friend.

02:18:18.000 You're existing through the experience you give other people when they're around you.

02:18:22.000 You're existing through those things.

02:18:24.000 Yeah.

02:18:24.000 And when you nail it in all forms, they're all similar and related.

02:18:30.000 That's right, man.

02:18:31.000 Well, they all have at their core the same thing.

02:18:34.000 You're touching the core of what you really are.

02:18:38.000 And that's why meditation, I think, is so incredibly misunderstood and something that really isn't...

02:18:47.000 Isn't that different from any other thing that you're doing?

02:18:50.000 Well, how about float tanks?

02:18:53.000 That's the real meditation.

02:18:54.000 That's meditation advanced.

02:18:56.000 If you want a vacation from life and an ability to step back and really look at yourself, yeah, you could sit in the corner and you could just do it that way.

02:19:03.000 And there's nothing wrong with doing it that way.

02:19:04.000 There's nothing wrong with going out on a hill and sitting and just overlooking a beautiful field and taking in nature.

02:19:10.000 Yeah.

02:19:11.000 And meditating in that way.

02:19:12.000 That's a meditation in and of itself.

02:19:14.000 For sure.

02:19:14.000 It's almost like an energy absorption.

02:19:16.000 Like you're taking some power off the battery.

02:19:18.000 Like you're feeding it.

02:19:19.000 You're feeding off of it.

02:19:21.000 But the float tank is where it's at, man. 1.00

02:19:24.000 And those fucking things are exploding now. 0.98

02:19:26.000 People are realizing it now for the first time in decades how important those things are. 0.99

02:19:31.000 There was this big story that I printed the other day about the basketball team.

02:19:35.000 The Golden State Warriors, they use it every week.

02:19:39.000 Makes sense. 0.99

02:19:40.000 Dude, the fucking biggest one in the world just opened up in Pasadena. 0.98

02:19:43.000 Yeah, just float. 0.99

02:19:45.000 Float Lab just opened up one in Westwood.

02:19:47.000 They opened up a big location in Westwood.

02:19:49.000 They're exploding now.

02:19:50.000 They're everywhere.

02:19:50.000 They're over the world.

02:19:51.000 Yeah, people love it.

02:19:52.000 They're finally getting it.

02:19:54.000 People are finally getting it.

02:19:55.000 This thing is like the best way to have a vacation from your thoughts.

02:20:00.000 Or to be alone with them, rather.

02:20:02.000 Have a vacation from your body, I should say. 0.99

02:20:03.000 It's great, because you're peeling away all the goddamn stimulus. 0.97

02:20:07.000 I mean, I guess if there's like, with meditation, if there was some kind of like, well, they do call it a practice, but the reason they call it a practice is because a lot of meditation is like you're sitting there and the dog will start barking, right? 0.98

02:20:21.000 Gotta kick it, right?

02:20:22.000 Well, you gotta throw it into the wall, my dog. 0.66

02:20:24.000 You have to, you know, see, but you sort of like...

02:20:29.000 I'm just kidding, of course, guys.

02:20:31.000 Obviously.

02:20:31.000 When you're meditating, you get up and throw your dog.

02:20:36.000 Ram Dass talks about giving this meditation class, and people were meditating, and there was a siren that kept going off.

02:20:43.000 People were getting annoyed.

02:20:44.000 It was by a firehouse, I guess.

02:20:46.000 So the fire truck would leave, or the fire truck would come, and people were getting annoyed.

02:20:50.000 You can't meditate.

02:20:50.000 There's always a siren.

02:20:51.000 And he's like...

02:20:53.000 That's just energy.

02:20:54.000 Like, you're hearing...

02:20:55.000 This is just energy going into your body.

02:20:59.000 And your body is turning into the sound of a siren.

02:21:01.000 But this is just grist for the mill, is what he called it.

02:21:04.000 This is just another form that the universe takes.

02:21:07.000 The sound of a siren.

02:21:09.000 And so when you're meditating, you start watching yourself, right?

02:21:14.000 So the dog barks.

02:21:16.000 Like, if I'm sitting meditating, the dog will bark.

02:21:18.000 And...

02:21:20.000 I will watch myself.

02:21:21.000 So now I watch the way that my body reacts when the dog barks. 0.99

02:21:25.000 From the physical kind of like a very slight tensing up to inside a feeling of fucking frustration. 1.00

02:21:32.000 The dog would shut the fuck up. 1.00

02:21:34.000 But now I'm watching that. 0.99

02:21:36.000 So, whoa, this is what I do when I'm annoyed by something.

02:21:39.000 And now you can watch the way that annoying feeling emerges and dissipates.

02:21:43.000 And that's like the meditative process.

02:21:45.000 Whereas a float tank, you're stripping that Extra thing away.

02:21:50.000 So now it's just the sense of being there minus having to deal with the disturbances so much.

02:21:56.000 Even though they are in a float tank, you'll still get some disturbances.

02:22:00.000 You'll notice the way that you're breathing or you'll feel some burn where there's like a cut on you or maybe a drop of water will land and hit you in the head or something like that.

02:22:10.000 Well, you've got to squeegee the roof before you go in.

02:22:12.000 That's a big part of it.

02:22:14.000 Yeah, there's guys who have invented some workarounds for that.

02:22:17.000 There's a guy that owns a place in Austin, Zero Gravity in Austin.

02:22:21.000 He's figured out a way to...

02:22:23.000 He's got a different...

02:22:24.000 His are made out of ship hulls.

02:22:26.000 Yeah, they don't drip.

02:22:27.000 Yeah, they don't drip.

02:22:28.000 And he's also got some sort of a...

02:22:31.000 A way to ventilate so that there's no condensation on the roof of it.

02:22:35.000 Yeah, his tanks are incredible.

02:22:36.000 That's Kevin Johnson.

02:22:38.000 Yeah, great guy.

02:22:39.000 Coolest guy ever.

02:22:40.000 If you're there, it's a great spot.

02:22:43.000 But mine, I just give it a once-over with the squeegee when I climb in. 0.99

02:22:47.000 But those things about the itches and all the bullshit, other than the dripping of the water, it's all in your head. 0.98

02:22:53.000 You just need to spend enough time in those things. 0.99

02:22:56.000 I don't experience that anymore.

02:22:57.000 Even if I have a scratch, like...

02:23:00.000 So jujitsu scratches were a problem because a lot of times dudes don't trim their nails and you get really scratched up. 0.99

02:23:06.000 But the good thing is the fucking salt bath kills everything. 0.99

02:23:11.000 Right. 1.00

02:23:12.000 Everything. 1.00

02:23:12.000 I mean, all the nasty, funky shit on your skin, that salt torches it. 1.00

02:23:16.000 Because you're talking about a thousand pounds of Ebsen salt. 0.99

02:23:19.000 Right.

02:23:19.000 It's super healthy for your body.

02:23:21.000 So you just got to suffer through a few seconds of stinging if you got a scratch.

02:23:25.000 Yeah.

02:23:25.000 But just breathe.

02:23:26.000 All you have to do is concentrate on your breath.

02:23:28.000 The key to the tank is breathing in and breathing out.

02:23:30.000 Just nothing but that.

02:23:32.000 Put all of your energy on in with the good and out with the bad.

02:23:35.000 Oh, that's cool.

02:23:35.000 In with the good and out with the bad.

02:23:37.000 And then I stop assigning it a purpose.

02:23:39.000 I stop assigning it a quality or a positive or a negative.

02:23:43.000 I just breathe and I don't allow myself.

02:23:46.000 Every now and then my mind wants to start going about, man, you gotta work on that new bit. 0.84

02:23:50.000 That new bit has fucking got a real hitch in it. 1.00

02:23:52.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00

02:23:54.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00

02:23:54.000 You're like, man, when are you gonna fucking clean your office? 1.00

02:23:57.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00

02:23:58.000 Shut the fuck up. 1.00

02:23:59.000 I know what I'm doing. 1.00

02:24:00.000 And then you can bypass the land of trouble and confusion.

02:24:06.000 There's like a land of trouble and confusion that takes about 20 minutes to get through. 0.98

02:24:10.000 You gotta just fucking hustle through that land. 0.97

02:24:13.000 And you gotta do the work. 1.00

02:24:14.000 You gotta fucking concentrate on the breathing. 0.99

02:24:15.000 Because if you give in to the land of trouble and confusion, let me just hang out here and talk to you guys for a while. 1.00

02:24:20.000 They'll fucking drag you into their madness. 0.99

02:24:22.000 They sure will. 1.00

02:24:23.000 Come with me!

02:24:24.000 Yeah.

02:24:24.000 Let's talk about your girlfriend from high school.

02:24:26.000 Maybe if you guys got back together, you'd be happy.

02:24:28.000 No!

02:24:30.000 Maybe it's an amazing story.

02:24:31.000 She's got kids. 1.00

02:24:32.000 You've got kids.

02:24:32.000 You both break up.

02:24:33.000 You know what I mean? 1.00

02:24:36.000 Your boss is a cunt. 1.00

02:24:37.000 You know he's a cunt. 1.00

02:24:38.000 You've got to tell the fucking business manager he's a cunt. 1.00

02:24:40.000 And you start having these wars in your head about your life that are totally unnecessary and counterintuitive to what you're trying to do there. 1.00

02:24:48.000 What you're trying to do there is escape.

02:24:49.000 Escape the whole thing by concentrating. 1.00

02:24:51.000 That's why yoga is the shit. 1.00

02:24:54.000 Because yoga's hard to do. 1.00

02:24:56.000 Just like archery's hard to do, when you're standing there and you got fucking one foot up and you're stretching up like this and you're holding it and your whole body's shaking and they're like, hold, hold, and you're like, you fucking can't! 0.93

02:25:08.000 You're not thinking about anything other than breathing and trying to do that. 0.92

02:25:12.000 Because you can't.

02:25:13.000 You can't do it. 1.00

02:25:15.000 That Bikram guy's a scumbag, but he had a fucking great idea. 1.00

02:25:19.000 He had a great idea. 1.00

02:25:20.000 That 104 temperature, too, that tests your will.

02:25:23.000 It does something to your brain.

02:25:25.000 Dr. Rhonda Patrick thinks it might create something called heat shock proteins that you get from a sauna. 0.70

02:25:31.000 There's a positive benefit health-wise to being in a sauna, very positive, to a point where she was saying that there was a 40% reduction in mortalities across the board from people that are regular sauna users.

02:25:43.000 40% reduction in cancers, heart attacks, stroke, all those things.

02:25:46.000 Massive mortality drop-off because of the sauna, because your body produces these heat shock proteins.

02:25:51.000 She's like, it could very well be going on in those classes. 0.99

02:25:53.000 You're so fucking hot! 0.99

02:25:55.000 Right. 0.99

02:25:55.000 Your body's overheating. 0.99

02:25:56.000 It's freaking the fuck out.

02:25:58.000 It's 104 degrees in there and you're doing unbelievably strenuous exercise. 0.91

02:26:02.000 I think there's all these different methods that we have come up with, whether it's martial arts, whether it's yoga, whether it's meditation, whether it's the tank. 0.98

02:26:12.000 They're all trying to get away from the influence of the fucking primate DNA. Yeah. 0.99

02:26:19.000 Right.

02:26:19.000 All of it.

02:26:20.000 The jealousy, the wanted materialism, the fucking anger and traffic and the nonsense about your career and the interpersonal relationship bullshit that we put ourselves through back and forth. 0.99

02:26:34.000 A big part of it all is a perspective that was... 1.00

02:26:39.000 We inherited it from these fucking barbarians that came in each other and just barely made it. 1.00

02:26:46.000 They'd live to be ten and they'd fuck somebody else. 1.00

02:26:49.000 People were probably getting pregnant when they were six years old back then. 1.00

02:26:52.000 Who knows what the fuck we were like when we were monkeys. 1.00

02:26:54.000 We had to become what we are today, but we're trapped We're trapped with the momentum of that shit in our bodies. 1.00

02:27:02.000 Trapped. 1.00

02:27:02.000 Trapped! 1.00

02:27:03.000 But not trapped.

02:27:04.000 You can escape.

02:27:05.000 But hindered to the point where it requires input.

02:27:10.000 Well, this is...

02:27:11.000 Attached.

02:27:12.000 This is why I like the word attached.

02:27:14.000 You're attached to it.

02:27:15.000 You're clinging to it.

02:27:17.000 You're holding on to it.

02:27:18.000 You're carrying around this, like... 1.00

02:27:20.000 Just a fucking stinking corpse that you think is who you are and you're clinging to it. 1.00

02:27:26.000 That's the land that you're talking about that you're going through. 1.00

02:27:28.000 And people don't want to let go of that because that is what defines you.

02:27:32.000 That's everything that you are.

02:27:34.000 And people want to be defined.

02:27:35.000 They would rather be defined than they would be by being undefined.

02:27:39.000 Yeah.

02:27:40.000 But when you've...

02:27:41.000 Okay, so you've sailed through...

02:27:42.000 What did you call it?

02:27:43.000 The land of trouble and despair?

02:27:44.000 Yeah.

02:27:45.000 So you've sailed through the land of trouble and despair.

02:27:47.000 That's 20 minutes.

02:27:48.000 So what's after that?

02:27:49.000 How would you describe the state after that?

02:27:52.000 The state after that is where it gets psychedelic.

02:27:55.000 The state after that is where you don't exist anymore, and you're just intertwining yourself with information and ideas.

02:28:03.000 And these ideas are bouncing around your head, but you don't really consider yourself as you.

02:28:07.000 Because if you do, you'll snap out of it.

02:28:08.000 One of the weirder things about the psychedelic trance that you get from the tank is that it's so pliable.

02:28:13.000 You can go in it and out of it.

02:28:14.000 And sometimes I lose it and I'm done.

02:28:16.000 I'm just laying there for the next hour.

02:28:18.000 For the next hour, it's gone.

02:28:20.000 I'll breathe, I'll do it.

02:28:21.000 But whatever it was, it was such a ripple.

02:28:23.000 Such a boom!

02:28:24.000 So strange and odd and bizarre and non-dimensional.

02:28:30.000 Doesn't pertain to anything that you experience in this dimension.

02:28:34.000 So you become something when your body is free of your mind, when your mind is free of your past, when you just escape. 0.58

02:28:42.000 It's almost like a gravitational pull or an atmosphere, rather, where you pop out of that atmosphere, like a rocket that shoots up into space, and you float around for a little while, then you come back down and deal with the bullshit again.

02:28:55.000 But when you pop out of the land of trouble and despair, it's like you're floating in zero gravity.

02:29:01.000 Because you're in the tank, you literally feel like you're in zero gravity because you don't feel anything anymore.

02:29:05.000 Because once you've relaxed to the point where the water is no longer distinguishable, the air and the water are the same thing and you just feel like you're floating, that's where it's at, man.

02:29:14.000 You've got to get to that space where your body's just totally stopped moving.

02:29:18.000 And when you get to that space and your body's totally stopped moving and you've gone through the land of trouble and despair, you just get to the place of just...

02:29:28.000 Thought.

02:29:28.000 You get to the place of thought that's free of all the culture and tradition and even language to a certain extent.

02:29:36.000 The thoughts stop being like you're relaying things in your head in sentences and paragraphs.

02:29:42.000 It becomes concepts and ideas that are almost alien to language.

02:29:47.000 It gets very weird.

02:29:48.000 Yeah.

02:29:49.000 Especially when you're on edibles.

02:29:51.000 I can only imagine.

02:29:52.000 Why don't you do it more often?

02:29:54.000 Why don't you do it more often?

02:29:55.000 Because my tank, my Zen tank, we moved and I put it in the garage and I just haven't set it up.

02:30:01.000 That's all.

02:30:02.000 I got to clean the garage out.

02:30:03.000 I got to order more salt.

02:30:04.000 It's all my fault.

02:30:05.000 I love that thing.

02:30:06.000 It was so nice.

02:30:07.000 I was so nice going in there after a workout, just going in and just...

02:30:11.000 Yeah, why don't I understand that you don't have it...

02:30:13.000 Fading and...

02:30:13.000 I got to get it set up again.

02:30:14.000 I just have to set it up.

02:30:15.000 I've got to...

02:30:16.000 Do you have to call someone or do you have to do it yourself?

02:30:17.000 No, I think...

02:30:18.000 Why don't you call those Zen people and go, yo, Hook is... 1.00

02:30:21.000 No, I think he's going to be in town to do another podcast.

02:30:23.000 I'm going to help me set it up again.

02:30:25.000 But it's not that.

02:30:26.000 It's that is part of it. 0.99

02:30:27.000 But the other part of it is I've got a fucking shit ton of hoarder... 0.98

02:30:31.000 Like, I have a hoarder problem in my garage. 0.99

02:30:34.000 Like, you think your office is bad, man.

02:30:36.000 My garage looks...

02:30:37.000 There could be a dead animal in there. 1.00

02:30:39.000 I've got so much shit piled up. 0.99

02:30:41.000 I've got to clean it out. 0.98

02:30:42.000 And if I just did that, I would have a float tank.

02:30:44.000 But also, the other cool thing is I live right down the street from just Float.

02:30:48.000 Oh, yeah.

02:30:49.000 So the Pasadena place is amazing.

02:30:51.000 Yeah, and Jim's been really cool in letting me float there.

02:30:53.000 So it's awesome.

02:30:54.000 Oh, that's great.

02:30:55.000 Yeah, it's nice.

02:30:56.000 It's so luxurious.

02:30:58.000 Those places are booming now.

02:30:59.000 They're booming.

02:31:01.000 It's so cool.

02:31:01.000 Well, yeah, and they should be, man.

02:31:03.000 But this place you're talking about, man...

02:31:07.000 The place that you're accessing through the float tank.

02:31:09.000 And not always, by the way.

02:31:11.000 Sometimes I just go float.

02:31:12.000 Well, the idea is you're always there.

02:31:16.000 You're there right now.

02:31:17.000 Like that place you're talking about, you're there right now.

02:31:19.000 It's just that your attention has been consumed by all the phenomena that are swirling around you at this moment called your podcast.

02:31:26.000 So you're there right now.

02:31:29.000 And that the practice of mindfulness in whatever way, you can practice mindfulness in a float tank.

02:31:36.000 Zendo in your car wherever you want the practice of mindfulness is Helping you at least maybe not shoot out of the gravity of the planet of your personality But at least like get into the air a little bit instead of getting because this land of what is it?

02:31:52.000 Sorry trouble and despair land of trouble and despair.

02:31:54.000 This is like the discursive mind, right?

02:31:57.000 So this is like you know the the idea that There are two arrow strikes, right?

02:32:04.000 So in every single given moment, there are all these phenomena that are happening.

02:32:08.000 Some of the phenomena you don't notice, some of the phenomena you do.

02:32:12.000 But there's two arrow strikes.

02:32:13.000 One of them is the initial one that bothers you, like somebody cuts you off in traffic, right? 0.99

02:32:18.000 So someone cuts you off in traffic, it's a classic example, and you go, what the fuck? 0.99

02:32:23.000 What the fuck? 1.00

02:32:25.000 Jesus fucking Christ! 1.00

02:32:26.000 I almost wrecked, right? 1.00

02:32:27.000 Arrow strike.

02:32:28.000 The first arrow strike is the guy cutting you off in traffic.

02:32:31.000 The second arrow strike and the poison arrow is everything that follows.

02:32:36.000 Now you're in the land of trouble and despair. 1.00

02:32:38.000 Now your mind has become this echo chamber bouncing around with all these thoughts of like, God damn it, people are fucking assholes. 1.00

02:32:44.000 No one cares about... 1.00

02:32:46.000 Everyone's so fucking selfish. 1.00

02:32:47.000 God, that fucking asshole at work earlier today. 1.00

02:32:50.000 People suck, man. 1.00

02:32:50.000 Yeah, that's it. 1.00

02:32:51.000 They just suck. 1.00

02:32:52.000 And that's called getting lost, right? 1.00

02:32:55.000 That's called getting lost.

02:32:56.000 So, float tanks, meditation, these are things where instead of getting sucked in to the conversation, like you were saying, with the many entities that live in this land, you just let that first thing hit you.

02:33:09.000 I've been cut off in traffic.

02:33:11.000 And then it goes away. 1.00

02:33:12.000 And there might be these thoughts flying around in your head like, oh God, what an asshole. 1.00

02:33:17.000 People suck. 1.00

02:33:18.000 But instead of you reacting to those thoughts, you just watch them. 1.00

02:33:21.000 Like, oh wow, that's the part of my brain that thinks people suck. 0.99

02:33:25.000 Watch that. 1.00

02:33:26.000 Wow, there it is.

02:33:27.000 And now it's gone.

02:33:28.000 And that practice makes you a much happier person.

02:33:32.000 Much happier.

02:33:32.000 Over time.

02:33:33.000 And you realize what conflicts are real and what conflicts are just artificial, which ones you've made up, which ones you've just, you've endorsed, you've given them license to participate in your emotions, but they really don't exist.

02:33:45.000 At all.

02:33:46.000 They're nonsense.

02:33:47.000 Nonsense. 0.60

02:33:47.000 Especially someone cut you off when nothing even happened. 0.60

02:33:49.000 You didn't even get in an accident.

02:33:50.000 Nah. 1.00

02:33:50.000 Oh, so you ran into an asshole. 1.00

02:33:52.000 Welcome to earth. 1.00

02:33:53.000 Yeah.

02:33:53.000 There's a lot of them.

02:33:54.000 Right.

02:33:55.000 And guaranteed he didn't mean to like, he didn't, you know, once.

02:33:57.000 He might have. 0.55

02:33:58.000 Once, man, I was like trying to like, I was late to get radiation therapy and I cut somebody off in traffic because I had to go get my fucking body radiated at a goddamn radiation clinic and like I'm sick and I cut someone off in traffic and I remember they're like, 1.00

02:34:15.000 fuck! 1.00

02:34:15.000 Fuck you! 1.00

02:34:16.000 Fuck you! 1.00

02:34:17.000 And I'm like, man, I've got cancer, dude. 1.00

02:34:20.000 I'm getting fried down at this clinic.

02:34:22.000 Trust me.

02:34:23.000 But now when anyone cuts me off, usually I just think, man, I bet that guy's going to get radiation therapy, man. 0.99

02:34:30.000 Let's give him a fucking break today. 0.99

02:34:32.000 You don't know where he's going. 1.00

02:34:34.000 She might just be getting back from an abortion. 1.00

02:34:37.000 You don't understand what's actually happening there.

02:34:39.000 And so if you let your mind trick you, then you'll get lost.

02:34:42.000 And that's the problem.

02:34:44.000 It's not the screaming after the guy cuts you off.

02:34:47.000 It's when you realize that for the last six years, you've been reacting to somebody cutting you off in traffic. 0.99

02:34:53.000 And it's somebody who did some shitty thing to you six years ago, and you're still in the fucking car. 0.99

02:34:58.000 You're still banging the seat. 0.99

02:35:00.000 Well, how frustrating is it when you're dating someone and they bring up some shit that you argued with them about six months ago? 0.99

02:35:05.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:35:06.000 Oh, the worst.

02:35:07.000 The worst.

02:35:08.000 The worst.

02:35:08.000 Summoning up.

02:35:09.000 Summoning up this demon from the past and then, like, puppeteering it.

02:35:13.000 You know, like, remember this?

02:35:14.000 Do you remember?

02:35:15.000 Do you remember?

02:35:16.000 You did that.

02:35:17.000 You did that.

02:35:18.000 And you could be talking about something that happened right now.

02:35:20.000 Like, Jesus Christ, did you leave the refrigerator door open?

02:35:23.000 Yeah. 0.99

02:35:23.000 You fucking left the garage door open a year ago and I still haven't found my bike. 0.99

02:35:28.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:35:29.000 Yeah.

02:35:31.000 What happened there?

02:35:32.000 I just asked you if you left the refrigerator open.

02:35:34.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:35:35.000 You fucking crazy bitch. 1.00

02:35:36.000 You live in a bad neighborhood. 1.00

02:35:38.000 But then you realize that crazy bitch lives in your brain. 1.00

02:35:40.000 How about she lives with you? 1.00

02:35:41.000 Because your brain is always bringing that shit up. 1.00

02:35:43.000 How about her brain? 1.00

02:35:44.000 How about fixing her brain? 0.97

02:35:45.000 She's right next to you.

02:35:45.000 You don't need to worry.

02:35:46.000 Going wacky.

02:35:47.000 Ah! 0.95

02:35:48.000 Start with a crazy girlfriend living in your consciousness, because that's the one that's causing you all the problems. 0.98

02:35:54.000 But what if you're living with a girl who's crazier than the crazy girl in your consciousness?

02:35:58.000 Well, this is like, yeah, so this is like, I think, a problem many people have to deal with, man, which is like, all right. 1.00

02:36:06.000 A lot of times you hear it like, my fucking parents are fucking out of their mind, you know? 0.98

02:36:10.000 And so you want to change your parents, or you want to change the person you're living with, or you want to change your kids. 0.99

02:36:17.000 And, man, I'm telling you, if you really look at the...

02:36:20.000 I really like that...

02:36:21.000 I've talked about it before, but I really like that Clint Eastwood movie, Play Misty For Me.

02:36:26.000 It's like this old...

02:36:27.000 You can get it, I think, on iTunes.

02:36:28.000 It's really good.

02:36:29.000 But this guy ends up... 0.99

02:36:31.000 Fucking a fan and the fan ends up stalking him. 1.00

02:36:37.000 But you realize that he was playing the game with this girl that he had fucked. 1.00

02:36:43.000 Like he was letting her in every single time. 0.97

02:36:45.000 He was giving her a little bit of something to move on, right?

02:36:49.000 And like if you're living with a crazy person and you really analyze the game, there are some rules of the game.

02:36:56.000 I'll tell you a few right away. 0.99

02:36:58.000 Number one, You need a crazy person. 0.99

02:37:01.000 That's the first one. 0.98

02:37:02.000 So you decide this is a crazy person, right?

02:37:04.000 That's rule number one. 1.00

02:37:05.000 I'm living with a fucking crazy person, I guess. 1.00

02:37:07.000 Really? 1.00

02:37:07.000 Well, guess who's really fucking crazy? 1.00

02:37:10.000 The person who's decided to live with a crazy person. 1.00

02:37:12.000 So there's two crazy people in the house.

02:37:14.000 Well, some people change their behavior, though, for you. 0.98

02:37:18.000 And then once you move in with them, you realize how nutty they are. 0.99

02:37:21.000 Unless you're like super fucking... 0.99

02:37:24.000 Critical and objective and really analyzing someone's behavior. 0.98

02:37:28.000 Sure.

02:37:28.000 You do a background check.

02:37:30.000 I mean, how many girls have moved in with a guy and they find out who's abused a piece of shit once they got into them? 1.00

02:37:35.000 Okay, that's true. 0.99

02:37:35.000 You're right. 0.99

02:37:36.000 That's true.

02:37:36.000 How many guys have been with a girl?

02:37:38.000 And then as the relationship goes on, they start to blame you for their failures in life.

02:37:42.000 Right.

02:37:42.000 And you become the magnifying glass of all their personality and perfections.

02:37:47.000 Get the fuck out of there. 0.99

02:37:49.000 But that's the only answer then. 0.99

02:37:51.000 But a lot of times though, man, a lot of times, if you look, and I don't just mean living with a girl, I mean living with anyone, but if you look or being at work with anyone or anyone you interact with on a daily basis who you have some weird shit with right now. 0.94

02:38:08.000 Right.

02:38:09.000 The next time you're interacting with them and about to get in the old classic fight, you know, just watch yourself.

02:38:15.000 Just watch yourself gear up. 1.00

02:38:17.000 And you will notice a lot of the time that you're the one who's getting into this shit. 1.00

02:38:23.000 That you're the one, you want it to happen. 0.99

02:38:26.000 You might notice a lot of the time.

02:38:29.000 I'm not saying this is always the- This sounds super personal.

02:38:31.000 What?

02:38:32.000 Well, that's all I got is myself.

02:38:34.000 That's all I got is myself.

02:38:36.000 And this is like, so this is the concept of Shempa.

02:38:39.000 I think I've talked about it on the podcast.

02:38:41.000 It's something Pima Chodron talks about, which is, God, we're going back to Archer again.

02:38:47.000 So Shempa is the feeling of pulling back the bowstring or the feeling of preparing to strike, right? 0.83

02:38:54.000 With mindfulness, you start learning about that feeling, right?

02:38:57.000 So someone starts pissing you off.

02:38:59.000 You start preparing for bow.

02:39:01.000 And you prepare for bow.

02:39:02.000 Prepare insults.

02:39:04.000 Yeah, you want to be right.

02:39:05.000 You've pulled back the bow and you want to be right.

02:39:07.000 Really? 1.00

02:39:08.000 You want to put the fucking couch there? 1.00

02:39:10.000 Really? 1.00

02:39:10.000 Because I just don't think it belongs there. 1.00

02:39:12.000 You want to put the fucking couch there? 0.98

02:39:14.000 Now, if you think about, is there a right place for the couch in the universe that we were just talking about? 0.99

02:39:19.000 Sometimes.

02:39:19.000 Don't put the couch in front of the fireplace.

02:39:21.000 It'll catch on fire, you stupid fuck. 1.00

02:39:22.000 But aesthetically, we exist in a universe with star clusters that are giving birth to stars, and you have decided this must be the right place for the couch, right? 1.00

02:39:31.000 And that's Shempa.

02:39:32.000 You're pulling it back. 1.00

02:39:33.000 You're going to fight this stupid fight. 1.00

02:39:35.000 When instead, you could be like, you know what? 1.00

02:39:37.000 Yeah, that's a perfect place for the couch.

02:39:39.000 You know what happens when you do that? 1.00

02:39:40.000 You end up with a fucking chick house, and they dominate the whole place. 1.00

02:39:44.000 They start with the couch, and then they move to the fucking sheets, and next thing you know, you've got a pink toothbrush, and a fluffy cover over your pillows. 1.00

02:39:54.000 You've got Valentine's hearts hanging on your boots. 0.99

02:39:58.000 My five-year-old put that up there.

02:40:00.000 I love it, man.

02:40:01.000 And sure, you end up with that.

02:40:02.000 You end up with a chick house. 1.00

02:40:04.000 That's a little girl house. 0.99

02:40:05.000 That's slightly different than a chick house. 1.00

02:40:07.000 Chick house is different. 1.00

02:40:09.000 They'll start fucking putting scented candles around. 1.00

02:40:12.000 You'll come home. 1.00

02:40:14.000 Some music you hate will be playing.

02:40:15.000 Just one more song.

02:40:17.000 Just let me listen to this one song.

02:40:18.000 So here's what your mind just did.

02:40:19.000 Can't you put headphones on while you're on your computer?

02:40:22.000 What if you care what I play really loud that's awful?

02:40:25.000 So here's what the mind does.

02:40:27.000 A thing happens, couch fight. 1.00

02:40:30.000 The mind, instead of just thinking like, in this moment, I'm getting in a fight, and inside of me, my level of passion over this fucking couch, it's like I'm fighting for my life. 0.56

02:40:43.000 So then you look at the, well, why am I getting so upset about this? 1.00

02:40:46.000 Because the mind is telling you, motherfucker, If this couch ends up here, it's gonna be a matter of time. 1.00

02:40:52.000 Before she starts fucking her personal trainer. 1.00

02:40:54.000 Yeah, if she starts fucking her trainer, you're gonna be wearing dresses, you're gonna end up sucking her trainer's cock, and you're gonna be in a chick house. 1.00

02:41:02.000 Yes. 1.00

02:41:02.000 That's the mind telling you. 1.00

02:41:03.000 That's what I'm saying, dude.

02:41:04.000 It's not real!

02:41:05.000 Dude!

02:41:06.000 It's not real!

02:41:06.000 It's not a slippery slope!

02:41:08.000 There's a battle going on!

02:41:09.000 Lose!

02:41:10.000 Lose the battle!

02:41:12.000 Yes!

02:41:13.000 Try to lose.

02:41:14.000 Don't lose the battle.

02:41:16.000 I'm telling you right now, if you have a mortgage, don't lose the battle.

02:41:20.000 Don't lose the battle over the mortgage.

02:41:21.000 Don't lose the battle.

02:41:22.000 If she doesn't want you to sign a prenup, don't lose the battle.

02:41:27.000 No, I'm not talking about those battles.

02:41:28.000 Battles are real, man.

02:41:30.000 Those are real battles.

02:41:30.000 They're consequences.

02:41:31.000 I'm talking about, in general, most battles that you're fighting, they don't have that much of a consequence.

02:41:37.000 And if you really want to talk about losing the fucking battle, and I'm not talking about rolling over for your girlfriend or for your boss or for any of these people, I'm talking about those little tiny conflicts you create so that you can feel what it's like to overpower someone and win in every single moment.

02:41:53.000 The winning thing. 0.99

02:41:54.000 I'm gonna win.

02:41:55.000 That's what I'm talking about.

02:41:55.000 That's like the most toxic thing in a relationship, right?

02:41:58.000 If you're with a girl and it becomes...

02:41:59.000 Wasn't that a Billy Joel song about that?

02:42:02.000 A Matter of Trust?

02:42:04.000 Just lose.

02:42:06.000 Practice losing.

02:42:08.000 Just once in a while.

02:42:10.000 How about practice living with...

02:42:11.000 Here's the thing, though.

02:42:12.000 I definitely believe that you're correct in that you attract the type of people that you deserve in that sense.

02:42:20.000 That you deserve with the way you believe.

02:42:22.000 You could run into nutty people. 1.00

02:42:23.000 You could fuck up. 1.00

02:42:24.000 You could zig and you could have zagged. 1.00

02:42:25.000 For the most part, the people that you let in, a lot of times they reflect where you are as a person.

02:42:31.000 So, if you find yourself involved in these shitty relationships over and over again, you might want to look inward.

02:42:36.000 You might want to look at what you're putting out there, and what kind of people you're letting in, and what kind of circles you're hanging around in, and what kind of interests you're pursuing. 0.99

02:42:44.000 What kind of things are you focusing on, and why has that led you to be engulfed in this world of stupid? 0.99

02:42:52.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:42:52.000 And in the world of stupid that you're in, it's like, you're in the world of stupid, fine. 1.00

02:42:57.000 You got into the world of stupid, whatever. 1.00

02:42:59.000 But really, if you start looking at like, this is, they call it threading the necklace, right? 1.00

02:43:05.000 You're threading the fucking necklace. 1.00

02:43:06.000 Right. 1.00

02:43:07.000 Every single moment, you're threading this necklace of suffering.

02:43:10.000 So in every single moment, you're bringing into that moment all the past battles you lost, all the past battles you won, all the compromises you made.

02:43:19.000 You're bringing into that moment your idea of here's what's right, And here's what's wrong.

02:43:24.000 And the question is, how much of your understanding of what's right and how much of your understanding of what's wrong is based on reality and how much of it is based on your own desire to win, to overcome?

02:43:36.000 And again, man, I'm not advocating the concept of becoming someone who's downtrodden and some girl or boss or situation is like clomping all over you.

02:43:47.000 But yeah, I'll tell you.

02:43:49.000 I got in a fight with my girlfriend, like, a few months ago.

02:43:54.000 I'm sorry, Cora, if this is too personal. 0.99

02:43:56.000 I got in a stupid fight. 0.98

02:43:57.000 She's got a picture of Bob Dylan, right? 1.00

02:44:01.000 Big, big picture of Bob Dylan.

02:44:03.000 Nice, framed, beautiful, original print of Bob Dylan, right?

02:44:08.000 I don't like Bob Dylan.

02:44:11.000 You know, I don't like him.

02:44:13.000 Why don't you like him?

02:44:14.000 Because he... 0.99

02:44:16.000 I saw an interview that he did when he was like a super cunt. 1.00

02:44:20.000 This is before the Kanye thing happened. 0.98

02:44:22.000 And, you know, now that I think about it, why don't I like Bob Dylan? 0.98

02:44:24.000 He's got a lot of great fucking songs, even though he sounds like a wallet, a leather wallet started singing or something. 0.97

02:44:31.000 It's like, I don't know why. 0.99

02:44:32.000 It annoys me.

02:44:34.000 And it doesn't matter.

02:44:35.000 There's no real basis of liking anyone.

02:44:38.000 How does it feel?

02:44:42.000 Anyway, so I have a bad identification.

02:44:45.000 So she's got this cool picture of Bob Dylan and she wanted to put it in the guest room, right? 1.00

02:44:50.000 And I'm like, fuck that fucking picture, man. 1.00

02:44:52.000 I got really mad. 1.00

02:44:53.000 I don't want fucking Bob Dylan in the fucking guest room. 1.00

02:44:56.000 You were explaining what it was that before Kanye, you got sidetracked. 1.00

02:45:00.000 You were saying there was a thing that he did in an interview that he did?

02:45:03.000 Oh, yeah.

02:45:03.000 He was just cunty to some reporter or whatever.

02:45:06.000 I don't know.

02:45:06.000 Maybe he was having a bad day.

02:45:08.000 People love Bob Dylan.

02:45:09.000 Was this when he was young?

02:45:10.000 Yeah, he was young.

02:45:11.000 Whatever.

02:45:11.000 It doesn't matter.

02:45:13.000 He did nothing. 0.98

02:45:14.000 Bob Dylan is a great performer, and who the fuck am I to judge him? 0.99

02:45:18.000 My egoic brain doesn't like Bob Dylan. 0.99

02:45:20.000 It still doesn't like Bob Dylan.

02:45:21.000 Still to this day?

02:45:22.000 I can't make myself like him.

02:45:23.000 I don't like to listen to his music.

02:45:24.000 All along the watchtower.

02:45:26.000 I don't think it's a basis, obviously.

02:45:28.000 I don't think it's based in reality.

02:45:32.000 I'm like, I don't want that picture up.

02:45:34.000 I don't want that picture of Bob Dylan up in the guest room.

02:45:36.000 I don't want our guests to look at Bob Dylan. 0.98

02:45:38.000 I'm being a dick, man. 0.98

02:45:40.000 You know what she does, man? 0.99

02:45:41.000 Puts it up there anyway.

02:45:42.000 She takes it down.

02:45:43.000 And then I come into the guest room, and she's taking the picture of Bob Dylan down.

02:45:48.000 And I'm like, you took the picture of Bob Dylan down.

02:45:50.000 And she's like...

02:45:51.000 Yeah, I guess I'll just sell it on eBay or something. 1.00

02:45:54.000 And like, in that moment, I felt like the biggest asshole that ever lived. 1.00

02:45:59.000 Like, God damn it, man. 1.00

02:46:01.000 I wanted to win this battle. 0.99

02:46:02.000 I wanted to win.

02:46:04.000 I wanted to be the victor.

02:46:05.000 And I won.

02:46:06.000 What did I win? 0.94

02:46:07.000 A wall that doesn't have Bob Dylan on it and like my girlfriend like having like I guess I'm just gonna sell this picture that I like cuz my boyfriend's a dick and it's like that's not winning That's losing like that's fundamentally losing on every single level now, 0.71

02:46:24.000 I guess if she'd been like you Using the picture of Bob Dylan as some kind of like method of torture, like to win herself, it's different.

02:46:31.000 But all I'm saying is a lot of times we make decisions that we think are in our own best interest when really they're because we want to feel like we have won, like we're right.

02:46:43.000 We want to be right.

02:46:44.000 And sometimes you're not right because there's no right or wrong in certain situations.

02:46:49.000 Right, but let's get back to the root of what are you doing in the first place?

02:46:52.000 Like why are you seeking conflict like this?

02:46:54.000 I think for a lot of people it's because of what we were talking about earlier.

02:46:57.000 These primal needs that are not met.

02:47:00.000 These primal genetic needs.

02:47:01.000 And some of those primal genetic needs are about overcoming situations, overcoming adversity.

02:47:08.000 But there's reward systems built into our brain. 0.99

02:47:10.000 That's why we give a fuck if a computer beats us in Go. 0.98

02:47:13.000 Because what Go is, is a test. 0.99

02:47:15.000 What test is, is something you're trying to overcome.

02:47:17.000 Right.

02:47:17.000 You're trying to compete.

02:47:18.000 So this wanting to win with your girlfriend, it's a manifestation of some shit that's deep in our DNA. It's not just as simple as lose or just let it happen. 0.99

02:47:27.000 It's as simple as you have some programming in your body that you need to address. 1.00

02:47:33.000 There's certain activities that you can pursue that can free you from all this stupidity. 1.00

02:47:39.000 It's tied up in you. 1.00

02:47:40.000 And it doesn't have to be that you just let it go and you just lose.

02:47:44.000 There's other methodologies.

02:47:46.000 There's other ways to approach it.

02:47:48.000 And I think the holistic way is to do the whole thing.

02:47:52.000 Be aware of what the competition is. 1.00

02:47:54.000 But also, drain your fucking body out of all its excess energy. 1.00

02:47:58.000 Because your body's like an overflowing machine. 1.00

02:48:00.000 It's like an engine that has too much gas pumping into it.

02:48:04.000 It's like choking and spitting on its own energy.

02:48:07.000 It doesn't have an outlet. 1.00

02:48:08.000 You're in a fucking car all day. 1.00

02:48:09.000 You're drinking coffee all day. 1.00

02:48:11.000 Or you're in a car in the morning.

02:48:12.000 You're drinking coffee all day.

02:48:13.000 You're stuck in a box.

02:48:14.000 You're sitting down.

02:48:15.000 You get up.

02:48:15.000 Your back hurts.

02:48:16.000 You piss. 1.00

02:48:17.000 You fucking go back to work again. 1.00

02:48:18.000 You're barely moving. 1.00

02:48:19.000 You're barely moving and your body's designed to run from cats. 0.99

02:48:23.000 Your body's designed to fucking build a house because intruders are coming. 1.00

02:48:26.000 Right. 1.00

02:48:27.000 None of these needs are being met.

02:48:29.000 Right.

02:48:29.000 The needs of gathering up your own food.

02:48:31.000 That's why there's that primal crazy feeling when you catch a fish.

02:48:34.000 That feeling when you got a fish.

02:48:36.000 Yeah.

02:48:36.000 When you bring it in.

02:48:37.000 Holy shit. 0.99

02:48:38.000 It's great. 1.00

02:48:38.000 You could go to a store and buy a fish! 1.00

02:48:40.000 Right.

02:48:41.000 It takes five seconds!

02:48:42.000 Yeah.

02:48:42.000 You walk up to the counter, yeah, give me one of those trout.

02:48:45.000 They wrap it up, they give it to you, you're done.

02:48:48.000 Right.

02:48:48.000 But that doesn't feel like anything.

02:48:49.000 That's right.

02:48:49.000 It doesn't feel...

02:48:50.000 You know, imagine if it felt that good to buy a fish, and when you bought a fish, you'd be like, Oh, look at the size of this trout!

02:48:58.000 Wow!

02:48:58.000 Oh, this is beautiful!

02:48:59.000 Did you buy this fish?

02:49:01.000 This is amazing!

02:49:02.000 Where did you buy this fish?

02:49:03.000 Take pictures of everybody's Instagram, pictures of the fish they just bought.

02:49:07.000 Wow!

02:49:07.000 If you show a picture of fish on Instagram, you better be cooking that thing.

02:49:11.000 You better be explaining some delicious thing.

02:49:14.000 But you could catch a fish, you take a picture, everybody goes, oh man, nice bass!

02:49:18.000 Right.

02:49:19.000 Like, look, I got a fish!

02:49:20.000 Yeah.

02:49:20.000 This is a primal thing.

02:49:23.000 That's right. 1.00

02:49:23.000 And that primal thing is attached to shooting those fucking arrows too, man. 1.00

02:49:26.000 Make no mistake about it. 0.99

02:49:27.000 That used to be an effective tool.

02:49:29.000 Oh, no. 0.99

02:49:30.000 The more you do stuff like that, the less you're going to fight over fucking Bob Dylan pictures, guaranteed. 0.96

02:49:35.000 You don't even have to do that. 0.99

02:49:37.000 You just got to drain the body. 1.00

02:49:38.000 Just make the body fucking move. 1.00

02:49:40.000 Make it move. 1.00

02:49:41.000 Get all that excess bullshit out of you. 1.00

02:49:43.000 Yeah, and... 1.00

02:49:47.000 You're right.

02:49:48.000 Exercise is certainly one big part of it, man, but it's all connected.

02:49:53.000 There's no one thing that you don't need in that whole puzzle.

02:49:59.000 I think the main thing that you teach is that you don't have to be trapped In the gravitational field of whatever the particular life is that you happen to find yourself.

02:50:11.000 And if you find yourself in a life that you don't like, if you find yourself in a situation that is not bringing you happiness, then there are ways that you can escape that gravitational field.

02:50:23.000 Takes work.

02:50:24.000 And it takes time.

02:50:25.000 Takes a lot of momentum.

02:50:26.000 Takes time.

02:50:27.000 And that's a big one.

02:50:27.000 A lot of people quit before they get through.

02:50:30.000 I saw a crazy statistic.

02:50:32.000 Not a statistic, rather a meme.

02:50:34.000 That is probably pretty accurate.

02:50:36.000 It said 97% of the people work for the 3% of the people that didn't quit.

02:50:41.000 Right.

02:50:42.000 Yeah, that's pretty good, man.

02:50:44.000 But the whole quitting thing, failing, that's good too.

02:50:48.000 You can fail.

02:50:49.000 You learn from that.

02:50:49.000 You learn, yeah.

02:50:50.000 Well, it's negative and positive feedback are all important in the loop.

02:50:53.000 And the mind will tell you, after you've failed a certain number of times, that you will never be able to do it.

02:51:00.000 I mean, that's part of the thing.

02:51:01.000 That's the other trick of the mind.

02:51:02.000 There's a lot of tricks the mind has.

02:51:04.000 One of the tricks the mind tells you, this is the main source of suffering for a lot of people, is that however you're feeling right now is permanent.

02:51:12.000 So that's the number one bad trip That's one big source of it.

02:51:17.000 You wanna have a bad trip on acid when you're in hour three?

02:51:21.000 Let your mind start telling you you're gonna be like this forever.

02:51:24.000 I'm gonna be like this forever, man.

02:51:25.000 This is never going away.

02:51:26.000 Three hours?

02:51:27.000 I know this is never gonna go away.

02:51:28.000 And you will freak.

02:51:29.000 You will freak.

02:51:30.000 You will freak out if you think you're gonna trip for infinity, right? 0.82

02:51:33.000 So in the same way, Most suffering comes because people think, oh shit man, this situation I'm in, it's always gonna be like this, I'm always gonna be fat, I'm always gonna have a shitty job, I'm always gonna be broke, I'm always gonna be sad, I'm never gonna get out of this hole. 0.96

02:51:48.000 That's a lie! 0.95

02:51:49.000 That's not true.

02:51:50.000 If you look at your life, you've always experienced a change in your emotional state.

02:51:55.000 You've always experienced a change in literally every single thing, from your body, to your surroundings, to your jobs, to your girlfriends, boyfriends.

02:52:03.000 It all is in a constant state of flux. 0.97

02:52:05.000 So when you realize that, then you can let go of the panic that comes when you start thinking like, shit, this is going to be like this forever. 0.98

02:52:13.000 No, it's not. 0.98

02:52:13.000 It's not. 0.98

02:52:14.000 It's going to change.

02:52:16.000 Your situation will change.

02:52:17.000 Change.

02:52:18.000 And once you start understanding that, then it gives you some room to work.

02:52:22.000 It gives you some room to actually begin to make shifts or to do experiments, man.

02:52:27.000 But the mind will tell you, oh, you have failed.

02:52:30.000 Look, you got fat again. 1.00

02:52:32.000 You got fucking... 1.00

02:52:32.000 I got fat. 1.00

02:52:33.000 Man, I got...

02:52:35.000 I was working out nonstop.

02:52:37.000 Equinox.

02:52:38.000 I got my body fat down to Sixteen percent, Joe Rogan.

02:52:42.000 For me, that's a big deal.

02:52:43.000 That's pretty good.

02:52:43.000 Because I get fat, and I swell up.

02:52:47.000 I throw those fucking beers down the old tube, five slices of fucking bread of beer, and I pump up. 1.00

02:52:53.000 I get fat. 1.00

02:52:54.000 So then I went on tour, and I got fucking fat again, man. 0.98

02:52:58.000 And like literally fat, like overweight, because my Equinox doesn't let you pretend that, I think I'm all right. 0.99

02:53:04.000 They measure your body fat, and I go, yeah, you're overweight.

02:53:07.000 So I fail.

02:53:08.000 What'd you get up to?

02:53:10.000 Percentage?

02:53:11.000 I don't want to say, man.

02:53:12.000 Don't say it then. 0.97

02:53:13.000 I'll tell you the percentage I got to you by describing the look of sadness in my trainer's eye when the fucking printer thing came out. 0.96

02:53:20.000 Like a combination surprise. 0.98

02:53:21.000 He's like, wow, that's how fat I got.

02:53:24.000 So I'm still a little fat right now, but it's diminishing.

02:53:27.000 I've been working out three times a week. 0.99

02:53:29.000 But goddammit, I'm going to keep fucking doing it. 0.99

02:53:32.000 It's a matter of practice. 1.00

02:53:34.000 I'm going to get fat?

02:53:35.000 Fine.

02:53:36.000 But every time I get fat, I'm going to fight against it.

02:53:40.000 Well, I'm just saying if I do, again.

02:53:42.000 But why are you saying it that way?

02:53:44.000 You're right.

02:53:44.000 That's bad.

02:53:45.000 Well, it seems like you're giving yourself a loophole.

02:53:47.000 It's kind of fun to get fat.

02:53:49.000 Really?

02:53:50.000 Well, I mean, in the process of eating, when you're there in the hole, it's no fun.

02:53:53.000 But in the process of shoving pizzas down your throat, if that wasn't fun, then we'd have a very different shape of most people in the world.

02:54:05.000 Listen to everything that you just said earlier about the way you're thinking.

02:54:08.000 And hold on for a second before you interject.

02:54:10.000 Think about everything you're saying about the way people think and about the traps and the way you define your patterns that you fall back into each and every time.

02:54:18.000 Then think about the intense physical health consequences that you have intimately experienced and the fact that even though you've gone through cancer, you still will make yourself Like a path that you're definitely gonna go down where you're gonna abuse your body and put yourself into a state of shock and Overweight and making sure that your body is compromised pretty significantly,

02:54:44.000 right?

02:54:44.000 You know when you you really fat like that you're pretty significantly compromised Don't let anybody tell you any different.

02:54:49.000 All those people that want to dance around it and say, you know, I'm fat and I'm healthy.

02:54:54.000 That's not real.

02:54:55.000 It's not real.

02:54:56.000 You are not as healthy as you would be if you're not fat.

02:54:59.000 You can be fairly robust and overweight, but you are compromised. 0.95

02:55:03.000 You're compromised.

02:55:04.000 Doesn't mean that you're not functional, but you're most certainly compromised.

02:55:07.000 Right.

02:55:08.000 You're at your best when you're optimal.

02:55:09.000 And when are you optimal?

02:55:11.000 You're optimal when you're at a fairly low body fat.

02:55:14.000 Not ridiculous.

02:55:14.000 You don't want to be shredded.

02:55:16.000 You want to be fairly healthy, and you want to have a lot of nutrients in your diet, and you want to keep your body away from any bullshit. 0.99

02:55:22.000 Right. 1.00

02:55:22.000 You want to keep your body away from any fucking sugars and processed shit and nitrates and all that fucking shit that you get from... 1.00

02:55:30.000 Sausage and pepperoni and fucking salami sandwiches and coca-cola and corn syrup. 1.00

02:55:37.000 All that shit that tastes so glorious going down is killing your body. 1.00

02:55:41.000 It's true, man. 1.00

02:55:42.000 So why, after all that you just said, Would you give yourself that little loophole, that little mouth pleasure loophole?

02:55:50.000 Thank you!

02:55:50.000 You're right!

02:55:50.000 No, you're right.

02:55:51.000 What is it?

02:55:52.000 What is it though?

02:55:52.000 What is it?

02:55:53.000 Okay, right.

02:55:54.000 So when we're talking about it being intimate, like this is very intimate.

02:55:58.000 It's great.

02:55:58.000 But you're talking about you.

02:56:00.000 Yeah, right.

02:56:01.000 You are talking about you and you're defining this struggle and balance and battle.

02:56:06.000 And then at the end of this inspirational thing, you give yourself a loophole.

02:56:09.000 This is what I do.

02:56:10.000 I get fat, but when I get fat, I get healthy again. 0.99

02:56:13.000 You're fucking right. 0.99

02:56:13.000 You're right. 0.99

02:56:14.000 Okay.

02:56:14.000 You're right.

02:56:15.000 It's, it's gotta be like, I think, cause I think about this, right?

02:56:18.000 I do think about this.

02:56:19.000 Right.

02:56:19.000 So why do I do this?

02:56:20.000 This loop, this clear loop in my life, which I've gone through a few repetitions of this where I'll get close to getting in shape.

02:56:28.000 I won't be what I would consider in shape.

02:56:30.000 I'll get close. 0.99

02:56:32.000 And then I'll fuck it all up. 0.99

02:56:33.000 So why am I building this house of cards and then knocking it down again? 0.94

02:56:37.000 And especially after having gotten sick, why would I keep doing that, right?

02:56:42.000 So, man, I mean, look, I would love to have like a quick answer for that awesome question, but I don't.

02:56:50.000 I mean, I could like, I don't know, I could give some easy answer that like, but it wouldn't be the right answer.

02:56:57.000 I really don't know.

02:56:58.000 You allow it.

02:57:02.000 Right.

02:57:03.000 All of it.

02:57:04.000 Right.

02:57:05.000 That's what it all is.

02:57:06.000 You're right.

02:57:06.000 I'm not a vicar.

02:57:07.000 No, look.

02:57:08.000 There's a reason why you don't smoke cigarettes, right?

02:57:11.000 Yes.

02:57:12.000 Because you don't allow them.

02:57:13.000 Right.

02:57:14.000 You allow all this other stuff. 0.98

02:57:16.000 You say, I'm gonna eat shitty food, I'm gonna get fat, I love throwing beer down my face, and then you allow it. 0.98

02:57:21.000 Right. 0.98

02:57:21.000 So you allow yourself some mouth pleasure or some, you know, some alcohol and intoxication pleasure. 0.98

02:57:30.000 You allow yourself that.

02:57:31.000 Right.

02:57:32.000 And you suffer the health consequences, like, readily.

02:57:36.000 You like, you just, that's part of the program.

02:57:38.000 The mouth pleasure is more important than the health.

02:57:40.000 So you allow it.

02:57:41.000 Yeah, that's it. 1.00

02:57:42.000 But you don't allow other shit. 0.99

02:57:43.000 Like, if somebody gave you a bottle of Oxycontin, you wouldn't be like, oh no, I can't eat these all day. 0.99

02:57:49.000 I don't allow it.

02:57:51.000 Well, I mean, I'd probably take a couple.

02:57:55.000 You would too, right?

02:57:57.000 You like those things.

02:57:59.000 But yeah, no, I know what you mean, man.

02:58:00.000 You know what I'm saying?

02:58:00.000 I mean, you allow it.

02:58:01.000 Sure, sure, sure.

02:58:02.000 I've gotten fat.

02:58:03.000 I've gotten pretty close to being fat, like for me.

02:58:06.000 For me, I've gotten, you know, I think the heaviest I got was like 204 or 205 or something like that, which is...

02:58:12.000 That's 10, 15 pounds overweight for me, for real.

02:58:15.000 I really shouldn't.

02:58:16.000 My face gets fat.

02:58:18.000 I get it here.

02:58:19.000 I get it down here.

02:58:20.000 I start to get a little bit of this.

02:58:22.000 I can see it.

02:58:22.000 I can see it in my face.

02:58:23.000 I can see it in my sides.

02:58:26.000 But that was all because I didn't...

02:58:35.000 We're good to go. 0.99

02:58:49.000 If you allow yourself to get too far gone, then you create this fucking gigantic divot that you can't get out of. 1.00

02:58:54.000 It's the worst. 0.90

02:58:55.000 The worst I got when I hurt my back was also what was going on, too, because I couldn't work out as intensely when I was about 10 pounds heavier than I am now.

02:59:04.000 The worst that it got was all wrapped around feeling sorry because of an injury, not being as disciplined as I could be, and allowing myself the indulgence, figuring I'm going to make up for it later.

02:59:18.000 So I'm guilty of the same sort of behavior I'm making you aware of.

02:59:24.000 I'm not guilty of it right now.

02:59:26.000 Right now, I'm on the straight and narrow, and I'm pretty healthy about it, and I'm pretty decided that this is how I'm going to eat from now on.

02:59:32.000 With rare indulgences just for mouth pleasure.

02:59:36.000 But I think that mouth pleasure can't be the big one.

02:59:38.000 It can't be.

02:59:39.000 It's just not good for you.

02:59:41.000 No.

02:59:41.000 The big one should be health.

02:59:43.000 Health should be the big one.

02:59:44.000 Mouth pleasure should be the occasional foray.

02:59:47.000 It can't be daily mouth pleasure. 1.00

02:59:49.000 It's that goddamn... 0.99

02:59:50.000 I'll tell you, man, when I'm shoving some kind of shitty food into my mouth, It's got such a strong gravity for me. 0.99

03:00:00.000 The moment I kick into that mode, when I'm not doing it, God, man, it was so cool.

03:00:04.000 And I was training with this guy for a while, and you start getting into health, and you start getting into that place.

03:00:10.000 It's incredible, and that stuff holds less of a...

03:00:13.000 Gravitational pull, but man, I guess it's some form of addiction or something.

03:00:17.000 It's 100% a form of addiction.

03:00:19.000 Yeah.

03:00:19.000 It's dopamine.

03:00:20.000 There was a whole article about it recently in one of those, Scientific America, I think, or one of those science journals that was talking about why it's so difficult for people to quit bad habits because those bad habits, they...

03:00:34.000 The trigger dopamine releases in your mind when you remember how great it was to eat those donuts. 1.00

03:00:39.000 Fuck it, let's just do it. 1.00

03:00:41.000 Fuck it, let's just give it and have that burger and the beer. 1.00

03:00:43.000 Oh, this is great. 1.00

03:00:44.000 This is glorious.

03:00:46.000 But the problem is you allow those pathways to exist.

03:00:51.000 If you don't allow it, if the cigarettes never get in your body.

03:00:55.000 I don't allow cigarettes.

03:00:57.000 I'm pretty sure it gives you cancer.

03:00:58.000 I see people smoking cigarettes.

03:01:00.000 I know they get tired quicker.

03:01:01.000 I know it's terrible for you.

03:01:03.000 Right.

03:01:03.000 So I don't allow it.

03:01:04.000 When I see people smoking cigarettes, I'm like, what?

03:01:06.000 He allowed cigarettes into his life.

03:01:08.000 And that's what you're doing.

03:01:09.000 Right.

03:01:09.000 It's not that I couldn't get addicted.

03:01:11.000 I think we could all get addicted.

03:01:12.000 If I started smoking cigarettes and I realized, oh, there's a cognitive benefit to smoking on these things, I'm just going to puff on a couple of dead.

03:01:18.000 No big deal.

03:01:19.000 I smoke maybe a half a pack if I'm stressed.

03:01:21.000 Right.

03:01:22.000 Next thing you know, I'm freaking out because I can't get a pack of cigarettes.

03:01:24.000 Why?

03:01:25.000 Because I've allowed this demon into my life.

03:01:27.000 Right.

03:01:27.000 And I think the same exists with processed sugar.

03:01:30.000 And getting off of sugar for just a few days, just a few days, which is not that difficult a thing.

03:01:34.000 You just give yourself a pattern for five days that you have to follow.

03:01:38.000 This is all I'm allowed to eat.

03:01:39.000 Just do it for five days.

03:01:41.000 You get headaches.

03:01:42.000 You realize how crazy it is. 0.90

03:01:44.000 You get shitty headaches.

03:01:44.000 You start losing weight.

03:01:45.000 Your body starts looking different.

03:01:47.000 You start getting thinner.

03:01:48.000 You start being less inflamed. 1.00

03:01:50.000 Sugar is a fucking monster. 1.00

03:01:52.000 That's what they say. 1.00

03:01:53.000 And it exists in the form of alcohol, too, my friend.

03:01:55.000 Oh, I know. 0.99

03:01:56.000 That's the same goddamn thing. 0.99

03:01:57.000 I know. 1.00

03:01:58.000 The pull of alcohol is the same pull of sugar.

03:02:01.000 The demon sugar.

03:02:02.000 It's the same thing.

03:02:02.000 It's the same pull of the bread, the same pull of the pasta.

03:02:05.000 Dude, pasta to this day drives me crazy.

03:02:09.000 If you had a bowl of linguine with clam sauce right now, I'd be like, oh, look at that glorious.

03:02:15.000 Just mal-health food.

03:02:18.000 Just bad health.

03:02:20.000 Just glue.

03:02:21.000 I know, man.

03:02:22.000 Glorious glue.

03:02:24.000 It's cool to watch yourself get sucked into it.

03:02:28.000 And it is like, you know, the thing you're making me realize is like...

03:02:32.000 I've never thought of myself as a victim, but anytime you trick yourself into thinking, this is what I do, then you have tricked yourself into becoming a victim.

03:02:42.000 You've decided you're a victim.

03:02:44.000 Well, it's more importantly, it's contrary to the entire two hours and 20 minutes you were talking about before that moment.

03:02:50.000 Yeah, it's a massive flaw.

03:02:52.000 You're right.

03:02:52.000 It's not a flaw.

03:02:54.000 It's just a pattern that you allow because you've had it in your life and it's such a struggle that you've kind of accepted its existence.

03:03:02.000 You're right, man.

03:03:02.000 You're right, you're right.

03:03:03.000 This is where the rubber hits the road, man.

03:03:04.000 This is why I love you as my friend.

03:03:05.000 But it's like these kinds of patterns.

03:03:09.000 I guess the next time I find myself...

03:03:12.000 No, see there.

03:03:12.000 I'm doing it again.

03:03:13.000 I guess...

03:03:14.000 When I'm eating cake, or the next time I'm putting some shitty sugar into my mouth, I just have to realize I'm threading the necklace right now.

03:03:23.000 I'm the one who's creating the version of myself where I'm a little bit out of shape.

03:03:30.000 And just as long as you realize that you're the one doing it, that just throws you into such a funny predicament though, right? 0.98

03:03:36.000 Because when you realize, like, shit, I am completely in control of who I am as a person. 0.99

03:03:42.000 And in this situation, I'm making the decision to sculpt a version of myself that sucks! 1.00

03:03:50.000 And why? 0.98

03:03:52.000 And you're defined by this past version of you.

03:03:56.000 With all the knowledge that you have right now in your head, you're still defined by all these failures from a decade ago or more. 0.94

03:04:02.000 They're all fucking rolling around in your head like you have to repeat them. 0.96

03:04:05.000 This is what I do, man. 1.00

03:04:07.000 Right.

03:04:07.000 No, you're totally right.

03:04:08.000 It's so cool.

03:04:09.000 Total blind spot, man.

03:04:10.000 You're right, though.

03:04:11.000 That is the way that I talk to myself.

03:04:13.000 Everybody does it.

03:04:14.000 It's so common.

03:04:14.000 This is what I do, man.

03:04:15.000 We define ourselves. 0.92

03:04:16.000 It's so fucking hilarious. 0.97

03:04:17.000 Well, the mind is so goddamn tricky that, yeah, man, that's really cool. 0.98

03:04:23.000 Here's one thing that I've gotten out of this wacky diet that I'm on for the last 16 days or so, 17 days, whatever it is right now.

03:04:30.000 It's something after two weeks, right?

03:04:34.000 I'm not less happy.

03:04:36.000 Oh, right.

03:04:37.000 I'm not. 0.98

03:04:37.000 I'm not less happy from eating shitty food. 0.98

03:04:40.000 Right. 0.98

03:04:40.000 Like, my kids had cupcakes last night after dinner. 0.98

03:04:42.000 These little cupcakes, little tiny ones.

03:04:44.000 They have 10 grams of sugar. 1.00

03:04:45.000 One fucking little tiny cupcake. 1.00

03:04:46.000 Yeah. 1.00

03:04:47.000 Like, that's insane.

03:04:47.000 Like, how much does a big one have?

03:04:48.000 Anyway.

03:04:49.000 I didn't feel bad.

03:04:51.000 I don't feel bad that I'm not getting to eat a cupcake.

03:04:54.000 I don't feel bad that I'm not eating a bowl of pasta.

03:04:57.000 It looks amazing.

03:04:58.000 I bet it's great when it goes down.

03:05:00.000 It's not affecting my happiness.

03:05:02.000 But if I got fat, it would affect my happiness. 1.00

03:05:05.000 If I look to myself in the mirror, I'm like, you fucking slaw. 1.00

03:05:08.000 What is all this shit I can grab around here? 1.00

03:05:11.000 What is all this stuff? 1.00

03:05:12.000 That affects my happiness.

03:05:13.000 It affects the way I move.

03:05:15.000 It affects the way my body recovers.

03:05:17.000 It affects the way my energy levels are.

03:05:19.000 The food I eat 100% affects the way my entire day goes.

03:05:24.000 If I eat a big-ass salad in the morning with avocados and olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette, and I eat that, and then I have some coconut oil or some MCT oil and some coffee, and then I have maybe a small bowl of blueberries with some Plain yogurt.

03:05:43.000 And I'm eating nothing but healthy food.

03:05:44.000 And then I'll have an elk steak with some asparagus. 0.96

03:05:47.000 Dude, I feel fucking great. 0.99

03:05:48.000 I feel great. 0.94

03:05:50.000 I've got crazy energy.

03:05:51.000 My energy levels are very high.

03:05:53.000 I'm drinking water all the time.

03:05:55.000 No juices. 0.98

03:05:56.000 No bullshit. 0.99

03:05:57.000 No sugar. 0.98

03:05:57.000 No nothing. 0.98

03:05:58.000 I am more happy.

03:06:00.000 I'm not less happy because I'm not getting the sugar.

03:06:03.000 It was only for a couple days.

03:06:05.000 It's a trick. 1.00

03:06:06.000 It's a fucking trick we've all fallen into, man. 1.00

03:06:09.000 We go to get a burrito and you get a fucking soda and you're like, yeah! 1.00

03:06:13.000 But the things that you're getting the pleasure out of are tricks. 0.99

03:06:19.000 It's a temporary thing that will ruin the rest of the enjoyment of your experience in life.

03:06:24.000 It will sabotage it.

03:06:26.000 It'll make it less effective. 0.62

03:06:28.000 It'll make your brain work shittier.

03:06:30.000 When your brain is processing a giant bowl of pasta, good luck winning Jeopardy! 1.00

03:06:35.000 Good fucking luck. 1.00

03:06:36.000 Right. 1.00

03:06:37.000 Your brain's going to be dog shit with a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs and a beer. 1.00

03:06:41.000 You've got a dumb fucking brain. 1.00

03:06:43.000 Sure. 1.00

03:06:43.000 You've got a brain that's like, you know, everything, shut her down, shut her down, shut all functions down. 1.00

03:06:48.000 You've got critical functions, just heartbeat, breathe, make sure you figure out how to get home. 1.00

03:06:54.000 All the other fucking contemplating the universe and reestablishing your existence, eh, no time. 0.97

03:06:59.000 No way. 1.00

03:06:59.000 Sorry, bowl full of shit. 1.00

03:07:01.000 Ugh. 1.00

03:07:01.000 We just threw it down a hatch. 1.00

03:07:03.000 Gotta fucking process it now. 0.98

03:07:04.000 Dude, you know, in most religious traditions, especially most meditative practices, one thing you never hear people say is, just eat whatever you want. 0.99

03:07:18.000 We're going to just do this thing.

03:07:20.000 You just eat whatever you want.

03:07:21.000 And usually there's some fairly strict ideas of what to eat.

03:07:27.000 Usually it involves eating very simple foods, just like eating lentils, rice, but being very simple in what you eat and eating much less than what you eat.

03:07:36.000 Yes.

03:07:36.000 Fasting.

03:07:37.000 A lot of people recommend fasting.

03:07:39.000 Fasting has a scientific reason behind it, and it's the same thing that I'm trying to do with this diet.

03:07:45.000 It's establishing ketosis, a state of ketosis where your body's living off of fat.

03:07:50.000 One of the best ways to do that is intermittent fasting.

03:07:54.000 Fasting gives your body a chance to process all the food that it has in its system and then switch over to using fats.

03:08:01.000 This is a normal part of being a person.

03:08:04.000 Because being a human being for the longest time did not mean three square meals a day.

03:08:08.000 It meant going on these journeys where you didn't get any food for a couple days. 0.83

03:08:12.000 And if your body is glucose based, and obviously I'm not a fucking scientist, and obviously there's a lot of people We're good to go. 0.85

03:08:40.000 Which is what you do when you eat a lot of carbohydrates. 0.94

03:08:43.000 This is what's been established.

03:08:44.000 When your body's in a state of ketosis, it's living off of fats.

03:08:48.000 You're burning fats. 0.99

03:08:49.000 And you can take exogenous ketones, which is these fucking things. 0.99

03:08:52.000 I pour them into water. 0.98

03:08:54.000 There's a bunch of different companies that create these...

03:08:57.000 Ketokana is one that my friend Denny uses it.

03:09:00.000 I know a lot of athletes that are doing this.

03:09:02.000 Kyle Kingsbury, who's a former UFC fighter, he's really into it.

03:09:05.000 My friend Denny Propokos, who's one of Eddie Bravo's black belts, he runs 10th Planet San Francisco, good friend of mine.

03:09:12.000 He's in a state of ketosis too, meaning mostly fats, eating oils like coconut oils, avocados, things along those lines, healthy grass-fed meats.

03:09:23.000 What about gluten-free bread?

03:09:24.000 Is that okay?

03:09:24.000 No, because it's all grains.

03:09:26.000 Those are carbohydrates.

03:09:28.000 Rice?

03:09:28.000 It's not that it's bad.

03:09:29.000 What about rice?

03:09:30.000 You can exist off rice.

03:09:31.000 Brown rice?

03:09:32.000 Is brown rice okay?

03:09:33.000 You can be fine, but you're not listening.

03:09:35.000 Those are carbohydrates.

03:09:36.000 If you use that as your primary fuel, you're not going to be in a state of ketosis.

03:09:40.000 It's easy for your body to process carbohydrates like this.

03:09:43.000 But if you're in a state of ketosis, your body's processing fats.

03:09:46.000 When your body's processing fats, here's where it gets really weird.

03:09:49.000 In between meals, you don't get a crash.

03:09:52.000 I don't crash like I was crashing.

03:09:54.000 If I had like breakfast, okay?

03:09:56.000 And if I had breakfast and it was toast with potatoes and rice and beans and it's all carbs, right?

03:10:03.000 I'm eating this breakfast. 0.97

03:10:04.000 There's going to come a time a few hours later where I'm fucking starving. 0.99

03:10:09.000 Dude, I'm starving. 0.99

03:10:10.000 I don't get that right now.

03:10:12.000 I'm not getting that.

03:10:13.000 I can go a long time without eating.

03:10:15.000 Like, I eat breakfast and then I'm good for hours and hours and hours of nothing.

03:10:19.000 I mean, I might have a little snack here and there, but I don't absolutely need it like I did when I was eating a lot of carbohydrates.

03:10:26.000 Yeah, I get it.

03:10:27.000 Look, I'm just trying this.

03:10:28.000 I might go back after 60 days and say, I like this, but I also like to have a certain amount of carbohydrates in my diet because it makes it easier for me to find healthy foods to eat.

03:10:38.000 Sure.

03:10:38.000 Because I don't think there's anything...

03:10:39.000 There's not negative consequences to a carbohydrate-based diet.

03:10:43.000 But I think there are some positives to consider about being in a state of ketosis.

03:10:49.000 So I'm trying it.

03:10:50.000 So that's where I'm at right now.

03:10:51.000 But in the discipline, in forcing myself to do it, it makes me think that a lot of what we were talking about earlier, about not having control of your impulses and your behavior and getting...

03:11:03.000 Giving in to video game addiction, giving in to cell phone addiction, social media addiction, all these things.

03:11:09.000 I think they're all very related.

03:11:13.000 There's a guy that I know.

03:11:14.000 His name is Jocko Willink.

03:11:15.000 He's a former Navy SEAL. He's got a podcast now.

03:11:18.000 I talked him into it.

03:11:19.000 He's got this great book that he wrote.

03:11:21.000 I think I have it here somewhere.

03:11:23.000 It's actually out there on the coffee table.

03:11:27.000 Extreme Ownership.

03:11:27.000 Thank you.

03:11:28.000 Fascinating guy.

03:11:29.000 Extreme Ownership?

03:11:31.000 He's got this one statement.

03:11:32.000 Discipline equals freedom.

03:11:36.000 I was like, well, okay, well, how do you mean?

03:11:38.000 What do you mean by that?

03:11:39.000 And he explained it to me in very succinct terms. 0.93

03:11:41.000 If you have the discipline to get all the shit done, then you can do things you enjoy. 0.96

03:11:45.000 And then you're not compromised by your lack of discipline. 0.98

03:11:50.000 You're not trapped by your lack of discipline. 0.99

03:11:52.000 When you're emerging from a fucking 16-hour binge of playing video games, you're stepping outside, it's 9 a.m., and your eyes are bloodshot. 1.00

03:12:00.000 You feel like a fucking prisoner! 1.00

03:12:01.000 And your dick is raw because you've been beaten off the last 45 minutes. 1.00

03:12:05.000 You're a prisoner. 1.00

03:12:06.000 You're a prisoner to your indulgences.

03:12:08.000 The same thing, I think, can be said with your diet.

03:12:11.000 The same thing can be said with indulging the idea of you always being in a state of being overweight.

03:12:16.000 The same thing can be said with a million other things that people do that they never follow through on.

03:12:21.000 I always wanted to be a singer. 0.71

03:12:22.000 I never had the balls to pursue it. 0.99

03:12:24.000 I always wanted to be a painter, but I never had the time to paint after my fucking job because I'm working overtime because I just bought a new car. 0.99

03:12:33.000 There's traps that we will set for ourselves. 0.96

03:12:36.000 But if you give yourself a healthy trap, you give yourself a healthy protocol, a healthy directive, a healthy pattern that you have to follow, you find some peace in that. 0.97

03:12:48.000 And the thing about this fucking wacky diet is the thing that's most shocking to me Is that I'm not any less happy than I'd be if I was eating ice cream or stuffing pizza down my fat face or letting my broken cheeks blow. 0.97

03:13:05.000 I'm not. 0.99

03:13:06.000 I'm not any less happy.

03:13:08.000 I'm happy.

03:13:09.000 I'm very happy.

03:13:10.000 I'm more happy because I have energy. 0.93

03:13:12.000 So even if it's not a carbohydrate thing, even if it's just I've eliminated sugars, even if I've just allowed my body to take a break off that fucking insulin spike of eating a giant bowl of pasta. 0.98

03:13:25.000 Even if it's just that, whatever the fuck it is, it's working. 0.95

03:13:29.000 And I think they're connected. 0.97

03:13:30.000 I think it's connected to me forcing myself to get regular exercise.

03:13:34.000 I don't allow myself to not get exercise.

03:13:36.000 It's not in there.

03:13:37.000 I don't allow it.

03:13:38.000 Because I've done it before, I don't like it.

03:13:40.000 So I don't allow it.

03:13:41.000 And in not allowing it, it's never an option.

03:13:44.000 So if my alarm is set and I get up and it's, what's today?

03:13:48.000 Today is death sprints on the elliptical machine. 0.99

03:13:50.000 Well, that's what I have to fucking do. 0.99

03:13:52.000 I just do it. 0.97

03:13:53.000 Because I can't do everything unless I do everything. 0.99

03:13:56.000 Unless I follow all the shit that I have on my list, I'm not going to be able to go fuck off and enjoy a television show. 0.99

03:14:03.000 I'm not going to appreciate those things. 0.99

03:14:05.000 Because I've forced myself to get the shit done that I need to get done, and I've forced myself to follow this weird pattern of discipline.

03:14:15.000 You could do the same thing. 0.98

03:14:17.000 Well, yeah, man.

03:14:18.000 I mean, I know I could do it.

03:14:20.000 Anybody could.

03:14:20.000 Yeah, it's cool.

03:14:21.000 Well, it's a beautiful idea.

03:14:23.000 It really is.

03:14:24.000 I think there's something very exciting about it.

03:14:27.000 Anytime I've pulled off even the most mild discipline in my life, the...

03:14:33.000 The end result is like incredible happiness.

03:14:35.000 You were raving about how good you felt once you started working out with a trainer for a couple of months.

03:14:40.000 But I did the exact thing you were saying.

03:14:42.000 I fucking hurt myself doing deadlifts and then because of that injury I stopped working out and then because of that I used that as an excuse and then I started like I just fell off the wagon again. 0.69

03:14:54.000 You should you should do something that's a practice. 0.98

03:14:57.000 That's what I think.

03:14:58.000 No, you're right.

03:14:59.000 Whether it's a martial art, which you tried a little bit in the past, but I think the best one for you at this point is probably yoga.

03:15:05.000 Because I think yoga fits right into your sensibilities, man.

03:15:08.000 Yeah, it's cool. 0.99

03:15:08.000 So instead of having some guy who comes over and makes you jump on a box and skip rope, go to a fucking yoga class, man. 0.99

03:15:15.000 Well, no, this guy, the guy I work with at Equinox, George Chin, the best. 0.99

03:15:21.000 He's fucking really cool, man. 0.76

03:15:23.000 I'm sure he is. 0.90

03:15:23.000 And so, like, there's something in that. 0.90

03:15:25.000 But I'm not going to do that forever.

03:15:26.000 I can't afford a trainer forever, but...

03:15:28.000 What are you...

03:15:29.000 Listen to more crazy talk. 0.99

03:15:30.000 What?

03:15:30.000 What, are you going to start not being successful?

03:15:32.000 No, I mean, I want to...

03:15:33.000 You're going to start failing at comedy?

03:15:34.000 No, I don't mean that.

03:15:35.000 I mean, I don't want to, like...

03:15:36.000 I just don't want to have a trainer forever.

03:15:38.000 You don't want to have a trainer.

03:15:39.000 Yeah, so I'm...

03:15:40.000 This is great, man.

03:15:41.000 This is an awesome therapy.

03:15:42.000 Like, you're...

03:15:43.000 It's really cool.

03:15:44.000 You're being very strict on the way I'm talking to myself.

03:15:49.000 No, I just know you.

03:15:51.000 Right.

03:15:52.000 Real good.

03:15:53.000 We've been friends for a long time.

03:15:54.000 That's true.

03:15:55.000 And this is this one thing where you'll come in and come out of.

03:15:57.000 Right.

03:15:58.000 It's like a trance.

03:15:59.000 When you're in the trance, I almost got to grab your shoulders.

03:16:02.000 Wake up.

03:16:02.000 I know I do it!

03:16:03.000 But you'll come out of that trance, guns blazing, like, dude, I had a fucking salad, I ran four miles, woo! 0.99

03:16:10.000 It's the best. 0.99

03:16:11.000 You come out of that trance.

03:16:12.000 Right, yeah, it's the best.

03:16:12.000 But then you'll slide, you'll slide.

03:16:15.000 Well, this is why I like having a trainer, because he forces you to, like...

03:16:20.000 Really work hard like way harder than normally I force myself to work out like a trainer makes you feel like you're like passing out from and it's great and the feeling after Working out hard like that.

03:16:34.000 There's nothing like it.

03:16:35.000 I don't know anything like it's better than almost anything that I could think of It's the most incredible thing, but you have to do it regularly, you know?

03:16:44.000 Yeah, and also the diet. 0.99

03:16:45.000 It's all diet for me, man My real problem is Just eating like shit at night, it sucks. 0.99

03:16:51.000 Just eat healthy at night. 0.99

03:16:53.000 Just put yourself, and I swear you can do this, put yourself on a super strict diet for 20 days.

03:17:01.000 Just make it 20 days.

03:17:03.000 Just write down 20 days. 0.99

03:17:05.000 For 20 days, I'm not eating any bullshit. 0.99

03:17:07.000 And write down what you can and can't eat. 0.99

03:17:10.000 Maybe you can talk to a nutritionist.

03:17:11.000 That's not hard to do.

03:17:12.000 Say, I want to do this for my podcast.

03:17:14.000 I'm going to document it.

03:17:15.000 For 20 days, I'm going to eat real healthy.

03:17:17.000 Part of the reason why I said I was going to do it for 60 days, because I wanted to say it on the air.

03:17:22.000 I wanted to say it as annoying as it might be to hear me talk about it all the time.

03:17:25.000 I'm saying it because I want to be committed to it.

03:17:29.000 That's cool.

03:17:29.000 I don't want to say, I'm just eating real clean.

03:17:31.000 That's a smart way to do it.

03:17:33.000 Force yourself.

03:17:34.000 I had a whole scheme when I started working out this last time that I was gonna get in really good shape and then talk about how I did it.

03:17:41.000 So I kept it a secret.

03:17:43.000 So like, I was like, man, I was working out.

03:17:45.000 I started with Justin. 0.93

03:17:46.000 I was working so fucking hard, man. 0.95

03:17:48.000 I really was like harder than I'd ever done. 0.99

03:17:51.000 And then I just blew it and it sucks. 0.98

03:17:54.000 It happens, man. 1.00

03:17:55.000 It sucks. 0.97

03:17:56.000 It's a constant battle that most people have. 0.99

03:17:59.000 It's a constant trap that most people have. 0.98

03:18:01.000 It's super fucking common. 0.80

03:18:02.000 It's one of the most common things that people fall back on. 0.99

03:18:06.000 It's the worst.

03:18:06.000 Shitty foods.

03:18:07.000 I love that you're...

03:18:08.000 I will take into account what you've said.

03:18:11.000 Honestly, man, to continue to be super personal, the idea right now, when I think, dude, just do 20 days of eating healthy.

03:18:20.000 When I think about that, I feel this combination of boredom and despair.

03:18:29.000 But you can still eat delicious food.

03:18:31.000 Right.

03:18:32.000 That's where it's so confusing.

03:18:34.000 You just don't drink fruit juice, okay?

03:18:36.000 You get fruit juice, you're drinking sugar water, man.

03:18:38.000 What about orange?

03:18:39.000 Even orange juice?

03:18:39.000 No!

03:18:40.000 No, you're not supposed to have...

03:18:41.000 Eat an orange!

03:18:42.000 Right. 1.00

03:18:43.000 Don't drink that shit! 1.00

03:18:44.000 This is not normal. 1.00

03:18:46.000 We've figured out some stupid way to hijack our reward systems and jolt it with sugar. 1.00

03:18:50.000 Blah, blah, blah. 1.00

03:18:51.000 I'm eating hell!

03:18:52.000 I got my OJ! I'm drinking OJ! You're drinking fucking sugar!

03:18:56.000 I mean, it's better than soda because there's vitamin C in it. 1.00

03:18:59.000 Coconut water.

03:19:00.000 Some of it is okay, but if you drink too much of it, it's probably sweet, right?

03:19:06.000 Right.

03:19:06.000 If it's sweet, there's some sugars in it.

03:19:08.000 Right.

03:19:09.000 You're supposed to eat the whole thing.

03:19:11.000 It's supposed to all be together.

03:19:12.000 Right.

03:19:13.000 You have an orange.

03:19:13.000 There's a fiber in that thing.

03:19:15.000 It's supposed to be a part of it.

03:19:17.000 Right.

03:19:18.000 When you eat an apple, that's how you're supposed to get apple juice. 1.00

03:19:21.000 You're not supposed to get a quart of that shit and throw it down your fat hole. 1.00

03:19:25.000 This reminds me. 1.00

03:19:26.000 There's a great show.

03:19:27.000 I don't know how much time we have.

03:19:28.000 Almost none.

03:19:29.000 There's a great show called From Fit to Fat to Fit.

03:19:33.000 Yeah, I've heard about it.

03:19:34.000 It's badass.

03:19:34.000 They make trainers get fat.

03:19:36.000 It's badass.

03:19:37.000 There it is.

03:19:38.000 Yeah, this is really cool, man.

03:19:39.000 And it's like the trainers, when they talk about what it's like to get fat like that, how their personalities change, like they really throw themselves in the hole.

03:19:47.000 And it's like, it's amazing the psychological component of it.

03:19:52.000 That is fascinating.

03:19:54.000 You put on 70 pounds on an 8,000-calorie-a-day diet, Adonis Hill, personal trainer, gorged on donuts and McDonald's every day.

03:20:01.000 Man, that is crazy.

03:20:02.000 They're badass.

03:20:03.000 These guys are heroes, man, because they get themselves really sick for these people, and then they climb out of the hole.

03:20:09.000 Well, good for them because they are doing it consciously, and they understand what the whole purpose of this thing is versus someone who just tanks, and then you have to hear about them pulling themselves back from the brink, you know?

03:20:22.000 Can I pitch these? 0.99

03:20:24.000 Pitch your fucking dates, Matt. 1.00
