00:00:26.000I know one of the biggest problems people have been having lately, where you're trying to watch it back and it stops and then starts back up again and then stops.
00:03:42.000I mean, the stuff he does, he does some, like, Never Back Down 2. First of all, Never Back Down 1, if you don't know, is the first MMA movie to go mainstream.
00:03:54.000That was the biggest MMA movie to date, but it was terrible.
00:03:58.000They made it into, like, the Fast and the Furious MMA, and it was terrible.
00:04:03.000That's how anything is these days, right?
00:04:05.000Everything seems to have the same sort of tone to it.
00:04:08.000They're letting you know in these fast and furious, never back down.
00:04:12.000Any of those kind of movies, they're letting you know we're never going to get real deep.
00:04:15.000We're agreeing to this right off the bat.
00:04:20.000What it is is the people that can make movies and put them right in, the guys that have that power, They really don't know that much about MMA. They just got into it, and they're like, I'm going to make an MMA movie.
00:04:31.000I'm going to make a fighting movie, man.
00:04:57.000The story's always like the new guy in town, you know, he's really handsome, and all the other guys that are bad guys in town, they're all angry.
00:05:58.000And I don't remember what studio it was about, but I said the number one problem with martial arts movies is that a real martial artist is going to look at that shit and go, that's not real.
00:06:21.000I'm like, I'm telling you, as a person, if you're a guitar player, and you're watching some fucking movie about the Buddy Holly story, and there's a guy playing guitar, and you know he's not really playing guitar, that would drive you crazy.
00:06:32.000If you saw some guy, and he's doing this, and the music's coming out, but you know this motherfucker is not playing that music.
00:06:38.000Yeah, you could tell he ain't playing.
00:06:39.000As a musician, wouldn't that drive you fucking nuts?
00:06:47.000Yeah, and I was telling these guys, I'm like, look, there's some badass shit that you can do that's real, that really does work, and I can show you.
00:06:53.000I can show you some badass shit that really works.
00:06:56.000But all this flying double scissor kick, two dudes at the same time, that's silly nonsense.
00:07:04.000I remember walking out of Never Back Down 1 going...
00:07:07.000Okay, it sucked, but at least they got the mainstream use to armbars and triangles, and at least they got them used to looking at fights, big movie fights, where there's a triangle and an armbar.
00:08:24.000If you've never seen that slam, he's trying to get...
00:08:27.000Rona's trying to get Rampage in a triangle and Rampage defends it by picking him up over his head and slamming him down full force onto the ground and then headbutting him.
00:08:38.000They collided heads accidentally just from the impact.
00:09:12.000You know, when you get bombed out like that, the Sokuju one was brutal too, man.
00:09:16.000Sokuju out of the gate, you remember how scary that guy was out of the gate?
00:09:19.000Out of the gate, knocks out Noguera, Hojirio Noguera, and then Arona, two in a row, and does it like he's just going to steamroll everyone.
00:09:30.000And then someone told me, you got to watch a fight of his against Glover Teixeira, you know, who was one of the guys from Chuck's camp, from SLO. Do you remember that guy?
00:10:02.000If Sokuju just focused on getting really good at Jiu Jitsu and not end up like one of those fighters, you know, one of those Olympic wrestlers that never learned Jiu Jitsu, you know.
00:10:14.000If he falls in love with Jiu Jitsu, continues to progress with the striking, he's going to be a force.
00:10:20.000But if he doesn't learn Jiu Jitsu, if he doesn't fall in love with Jiu Jitsu, his chances are very slim of getting to the top.
00:10:26.000It's real weird when you see, you know, you always like to say, well, you know, there's a certain amount of losses a fighter has and then they're done.
00:10:33.000But every now and then there's a guy who comes along that just defies that shit, that like loses a bunch of times but then gets it together and then starts winning.
00:10:40.000Jorge Santiago, he's a good example of that.
00:10:43.000Anderson Silva was just run of the mill.
00:11:24.000That motherfucker is the Strikeforce Grand Prix champion, or excuse me, the K-1 Grand Prix champion and the Strikeforce champion and the Dream champion.
00:11:33.000Who the fuck has ever been able to do that?
00:11:35.000Do kickboxing at the highest level and MMA? The thing that saves Overeem is that he mastered the guillotine.
00:11:43.000Anybody try to take him down, you gotta take him down.
00:11:46.000I mean, most people aren't gonna try to stand with him.
00:11:48.000There's gonna be a couple brave motherfuckers out there that try to stand with him.
00:11:52.000There will be in MMA, but usually they're gonna try to take him down.
00:11:56.000They gotta worry about that guillotine.
00:13:03.000But if you have a warrior's mind, you love to fight, you love to train, you have a great work ethic, please fall in love with some jujitsu.
00:13:09.000Fall in love with it, then you become dangerous on the ground.
00:13:12.000A wrestler who is not interested in learning how to take people out...
00:13:17.000That's like a basketball player not interested in like shooting the ball.
00:14:10.000In what I've seen working backstage at all these goddamn shows for the UFC for eight years, that's what I see.
00:14:17.000I see the guys come and go, come and go.
00:14:19.000And the main thing at the very top, at the very top, even if you're a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and you won the Mundial a bunch of times...
00:14:27.000What I see, I see the prelims for the last eight years.
00:14:32.000A lot of people don't see what's going on in the prelims.
00:14:34.000Just getting signed, if you're under 170 and you get signed to the UFC, that doesn't mean shit.
00:14:39.000You got to get through the prelims to get to the main card.
00:14:42.000You know how many fights you gotta win to be on the main card and you're 170 pounds that gonna put you on the main card?
00:14:47.000You gotta win more than two fights and you better be exciting.
00:14:50.000So getting signed to the UFC is like those, and I've used this before, it's like those turtles that they're born, they're hatched in the...
00:15:46.000But overall, I see a lot of guys lose decisions because they're on their back against some average college wrestler they couldn't get passed by.
00:16:18.000You better be training for that wrestler.
00:16:20.000Right now, because that's what you're going to hit.
00:16:22.000And every year, more and more wrestlers are quitting their job at fucking Home Depot, and they're watching The Ultimate Fighter going, I could be famous too?
00:17:44.000Figueroa took the fight on six days' notice and cut 20 pounds to make the weight class.
00:17:49.000I'm pretty sure it was 135. Either way, Figueroa cut all this fucking weight and was getting his ass kicked in the first round, but then just gutted it out and starts going after him in the second round and the third round.
00:18:01.000Dude, it was just a crazy fucking fight.
00:18:04.000But this kid, McDonald, had him in a triangle-arm bar combination.
00:18:27.000There's no way, ultimately, having an average guard, like most typical MMA fighters, that average guard that we're seeing now, If you have that, you're gone.
00:18:39.000Well, I think that the days of a guy not being good at any of the aspects of MMA are on the way out.
00:20:49.000But you have, if you want to make, if you want to fight, if you want a long career, you want a long successful career, you have to fall in love with jujitsu.
00:20:59.000And that means you have to get into, you have to study the top guys.
00:21:02.000And the top guys are Marcelo, Hodger Gracie, and Jeff Glover.
00:21:23.000Especially if you like fighting, you're going to want to have a career that's long.
00:21:28.000You're going to want to take as little damage as possible.
00:21:31.000And if you don't have really good submissions and that option isn't in your toolbox at all times, you're going to engage in longer fights than necessary.
00:21:40.000You're going to get more damage than necessary.
00:21:42.000There's guys that have equal striking.
00:21:47.000But one guy will see an opening for a submission and jump on it even though he's striking with the guy because he recognizes it's the correct thing to do, that it's there.
00:21:55.000But for some guys, they don't have that option in their toolbox.
00:21:57.000And if you don't have that option in your toolbox, you're going to have longer fights.
00:23:39.000If he gets a hold of him, if he gets that fucking double underhooks on George and really squeezes, if somehow or another he finds himself in a position where, you know, George zigs when he should have zags...
00:23:50.000Or he somehow or another gets him pressed up against the cage and actually gets a hold of him.
00:24:03.000Jake Shields taking maybe 90 seconds to pass George's guard and then he finally passes and then within a minute he sinks in a rear naked choke or some guillotine and then puts him out and you're like wow man he took his time but he sort of went through George.
00:24:18.000I could see that maybe or I could also see him not being able to pass George St. Pierre's guard.
00:24:24.000George St. Pierre's guard might be insane by this time.
00:24:27.000The last time we saw it, I think it was maybe Carl Prison or something.
00:24:30.000I forget the last time we saw it, but he was on his back.
00:26:26.000Did you hear his post-fight interview?
00:26:27.000He had a lot of physical problems coming into his camp.
00:26:29.000Apparently, yeah, he got injured a couple times, and he was having some real problems where he wasn't sure if he was going to go through the fight.
00:26:35.000You see how fast he flicks up those head kicks, dude?
00:29:03.000Those guineas make good masons because everybody else tapped out.
00:29:06.000Everybody else is like, fuck this, I'm not carrying rocks.
00:29:08.000The guineas are like, fuck you, I'll carry these fucking rocks.
00:29:11.000I mean, it's no different in a racist way than the idea that African Americans were at one point in time slaves and they were bred to be larger and stronger.
00:30:13.000I think the people that think it's racist see it as when they say, if you bring it up, it's almost like, yeah, you're a better athlete, but it's because we owned you.
00:30:45.000If I had a time machine and I could go back, and I could mess with parallel dimensions and universes, I would choose a life where I was in a world where all the Mexicans were enslaved, and they got created amazing athletes, and then I was a product of that.
00:31:01.000For me, right now, I think that's a cool background.
00:31:09.000Like, you know, because I'm not black, so they have a whole different feeling for it.
00:31:13.000I think if I go back into my history, if I could get a time machine and go back to the history of my DNA, I think along evolution, you know, if evolution is real and if at one point in time we were actually lower hominids and we evolved to become humans and these hairless apes, I think there must be stages along the way, you know?
00:31:27.000And I think at one point in time, one of my great, great ancestors fucked a monkey he probably shouldn't have been fucking anymore.
00:33:36.000How weird is it that that is going on the exact same time your neighborhood is going on?
00:33:45.000happening at the same time on this planet there's parts of this planet that are in a totally different frequency than we are right here yeah if I lived in Colombia in some third-world country like that I'd probably fucking a donkey every now and then for goof fuck it What else is there to do?
00:34:08.000Can you imagine how much it must suck to be born into some really fucking crazy little small country that's super poor and has dirt roads?
00:34:15.000And you don't even realize how fucked up everything is until one day you go somewhere and there's a TV. And you look at the TV and you see like Manhattan and shit and buildings and skyscrapers and people eating dinner and juicy steaks.
00:34:41.000They also said that in that documentary that there was like, sometimes there's like that one slutty donkey that's just walking around the streets.
00:34:47.000And he's like, sometimes I was so horny, I would not even use a condom.
00:34:51.000Now fuck the neighborhood donkey slut.
00:36:51.000There's a reason why those fucking farmers in Montana and up there in Butte, those dudes with leather faces look like fucking catchersmiths smoking Marlboros and fucking sheepdog all day long.
00:39:50.000I don't think, as long as it's a victimless crime, as long as it looks like it's a grown adult, I don't think that you get in trouble for that.
00:39:56.000You're not supposed to be in possession of it, but I don't think you would actually get in trouble.
00:41:14.000After Tough 196. Top season 196. Brock Lesnar is still the UFC heavyweight champion because now they have genetic engineering and he's fucking 200 years old.
00:41:39.000Statistically, there's not much difference between the human beings of today and the human beings that were having people fight tigers in the Roman Empire.
00:48:31.000They were people that were sent in to go in and cause chaos, and break windows, and they all wore ski masks, and they all wore military-issued boots, and nobody knew them.
00:48:41.000They weren't involved in the rest of the protests.
00:48:43.000The protest was peaceful and inconvenient because all these foreign delegates and all these people were coming, these representatives of foreign countries were coming to that one place and to have all this protest around was embarrassing and it was disturbing and it was causing a lot of press.
00:48:59.000They were having to answer a lot of questions about it.
00:49:01.000So they turned it into a violent display.
00:49:04.000They turned it into a violent protest.
00:49:08.000They came in with guys that were in military outfits and they would wear ski masks on and they broke windows and they smashed.
00:49:14.000And Alex Jones documents every single aspect of it, including these guys going into a safe house and being allowed to negotiate and eventually all being released.
00:49:24.000I mean, he documents all this and, you know, he does it with news reports and he does it with video footage and it's pretty fucking crazy because what they did is they shut down a protest.
00:49:33.000They sent some fucking goons in and they shut down a protest.
00:50:18.000In fucking America, they created a no protest zone.
00:50:22.000So just for the stuff like that that Alex exposes, you know, whether or not he's right about a missile hitting the Pentagon or any of that other stuff, shit, I don't know, man.
00:50:29.000There's not enough time in the world to be dwelling on all this shit.
00:50:33.000He's wrong about a couple things, but if you're going to judge a guy based on, like, oh, he was wrong about this, so he can't know anything else, you know, then none of us would have any opinions that mattered.
00:50:43.000He has fucked up a little bit here and there, but, man, I believe the shit he tells me, I believe, I'm confident with in the 90 percentile.
00:52:42.000Because you know if some shit goes down, gold's going to be useless.
00:52:45.000Unless the Anunnaki land again and we gotta give them gold to let them take us aboard the UFO. Unless that happens, gold's gonna be useless.
00:52:52.000I think gold is universal no matter what.
00:52:55.000In Mad Max times, gold is still gonna be.
00:53:02.000Every country, even the same religion.
00:53:04.000It all depends on whether Whether or not, by the time the apocalypse hits, we've created artificial people.
00:53:09.000If we created like whores, artificial whores, you know, soulless, mindless, robot whores that you could just fuck the shit out of, and they love you, and they're so happy, and they just shut off and wait for you to come back.
00:53:20.000And when you come back, they talk to you perfectly.
00:53:23.000It's just like Blade Runner, except they don't have a soul.
00:54:57.000I am so fascinated by what the fuck ever is going to happen when things keep going.
00:55:02.000I watch all those Ray Kurzweil lectures, and I've read some of his papers and some of his articles about the singularity and the idea of artificial intelligence.
00:56:23.000We're just having fun here, you fucks.
00:56:25.000Wouldn't you think that, like, McDonnell Douglas or, like, one of those companies, a huge aircraft or something, would be, like, involved in...
00:56:32.000The number one product on the planet would be, like, a real person that you could fuck.
00:59:54.000This couple, this man, this woman, they're holding hands, and they're trying to get across to America and try to get jobs, and they're talking to them in Spanish about what they're looking forward to when they go to America, and they're trying to make some money, and they're going to send money back home.
01:00:06.000It's like, whoa, why can't they just come over?
01:06:30.000They don't want to make a new one illegal because then people start looking at what makes it illegal and what is legal.
01:06:36.000And then the argument comes up, well, how can that be illegal when this is legal and that's illegal?
01:06:40.000And this is sold at every pharmaceutical company all across the country.
01:06:44.000It's been shown to be incredibly addictive.
01:06:45.000This destroys your liver, but doctors prescribe it like candy.
01:06:48.000It would open up the doors of scrutiny.
01:06:51.000So what they would rather do is threaten people, close all these companies down that are selling all this shit and not change any of the laws.
01:07:10.000And if another grown man my age, or God forbid, even younger, is telling me what I can and can't do with my body that doesn't hurt anybody, and they don't even have research to back it up, it's not like, I saw that movie Limitless the other day.
01:07:52.000It wasn't just as simple as you take this thing, it accelerates you, and then you just live like an awesome person for the rest of your life.
01:08:00.000Now, if you can't prove consequences, then you have zero argument.
01:08:03.000And that's the real argument, the real problem with psychedelic drugs being illegal.
01:08:07.000You have all these people saying that they've helped them.
01:08:10.000All these people that are going and taking that Ibogaine, like Ed Clay, our friend Ed Clay, who changed his life, changed who he is, you know, and became this really fucking warm, open person after going on these Ibogaine retreats.
01:10:32.000Another interesting one is Francis Crick.
01:10:34.000Francis Crick, apparently, and this is all hearsay because the article says very explicitly that Francis Crick told this man that if he printed a word of this, he would sue.
01:10:43.000And he printed it, obviously, after Crick died.
01:11:30.000We had them in a van, and then we would open the door and say, walk to that mark on the floor, and then Joe will be talking to you in your ear.
01:11:52.000The witness was gonna go on camera and he was gonna tell everybody about this UFO experience and now you're gonna look really stupid because you've got the camera here and there's no witness.
01:12:00.000So you're gonna try to ask one of these people to pretend it was them.
01:15:05.000And he's dedicating his whole life to saving as many people from addiction to pills as possible.
01:15:12.000Yeah, it's amazing that we have this issue in this country where that thing, which is so helpful, is illegal.
01:15:19.000And these things that are so damaging and so scary are legal.
01:15:23.000And they lied about how addictive they are when they got them through.
01:15:26.000When they made fucking OxyContin's legal, there's a bunch of documents that show that they weren't being honest about the possibility of addiction.
01:16:17.000Ibogaine was the drug that got Hunter S. Thompson.
01:16:19.000And in trouble when he was a journalist, when he was covering the...
01:16:23.000Hunter S. Thompson was such a fucking genius writer and such an interesting guy.
01:16:27.000And what he did was he was covering the elections, like 1970-something, whatever the fuck it was, and he just decided to start making shit up.
01:16:35.000So he started making shit up about these candidates.
01:16:37.000And one of the things that he said was that Ed Muskie brought in a Brazilian doctor because he's addicted to Ibogaine.
01:16:43.000And he shows all the symptoms of Ibogaine addiction.
01:16:46.000And he put this shit printed in the Rolling Stone.
01:18:45.000It looked like to me, it was, you know, from the point of view of a bunch of Marines fighting, getting called to fight these aliens that landed in L.A. and they're fighting them through L.A. It looks like a video game...
01:20:16.000You've got to remember about age groups.
01:20:18.000I keep on forgetting about this, but half these people on Twitter that have the bad language skills and stuff like that, they're probably 12. Because if I was 12, I'd be talking shit nonstop all day long.
01:27:08.000I was listening to Glenn Beck this morning.
01:27:09.000I stopped in my driveway for five minutes just sitting there shaking my head listening to Glenn Beck this morning.
01:27:14.000Just like this crazy asshole that thinks that the reason why the fucking tsunami and earthquake happened is because we're not following the Ten Commandments.
01:27:40.000I mean, if I'm going to watch anything serious, it's going to be like fucking cops or murder stuff so I can at least learn a skill trade if I'm going to murder somebody, how I can get away with it.
01:30:02.000I think, I forget, someone tweeted something about pot, and I retweeted it going, suck on that, Dr. Drew, you know, like to him, thinking that I've been friends with that guy for years.
01:30:12.000When are we going to get him on the pot?
01:31:11.000This is the only discussion that he and I have ever disagreed on.
01:31:15.000I think that he's absolutely right about how much abuse goes on, and he can nail it when he's talking to people about what's wrong with them.
01:31:24.000What I think is he discounts that there are very healthy people that can benefit from marijuana, and that's the difference.
01:31:32.000People that aren't sick, that don't have addiction problems, that don't have substance problems, They can benefit greatly from marijuana.
01:31:39.000And the problem is he's dealing with a completely tainted pool.
01:31:42.000Everyone that he's dealing with is fucked up.
01:31:44.000He has very few people that he's dealing with that aren't.
01:33:11.000And when you tell him that it does, there should be some sort of a test.
01:33:14.000And when you tell him that it does, that's the only thing that ever annoys me about Dr. Drew, is that he's not willing to sort of take that into consideration.
01:33:20.000He's pretty rigid on his stance when it comes to psychedelic drugs and to drugs.
01:33:24.000That's the only part that I can't stand.
01:33:27.000He doesn't know the truth about marijuana.
01:33:31.000I thought maybe he does know, but he's just trying to save his job and he can't talk about it because technically it's still illegal so I can't promote it.
01:33:36.000I thought it was that and he did know the truth.
01:33:39.000But either way, that would still be something that I wouldn't be happy with.
01:34:33.000I think all people can learn from psychedelic experiences.
01:34:36.000If you're not fucked up, if there's not something wrong with you medically, if there's not something wrong with you psychologically where you really can't go on trips, even just trips of eating weed, that shit benefits you greatly.
01:34:47.000In Brazil, where ayahuasca is legal, the people that are part of the ayahuasca churches, and they're just normal, loving people, they give ayahuasca to their kids when they turn 14 to make sure they don't become alcoholics.
01:35:02.000Because ayahuasca at that age, right when they're hitting puberty, it sets their brain straight somehow.
01:35:08.000And ayahuasca, if you know what it is, it's the key to the other side, to the spirit world.
01:35:23.000When you've had experiences like the DMT experience, which if people don't know, ayahuasca is the DMT experience.
01:35:29.000Ayahuasca is an orally active version of DMT, and the reason it's orally active as opposed to the regular version is that DMT, when you eat it, It's broken down in your stomach by something called monoamine oxidase.
01:35:41.000And monoamine oxidase is produced by your stomach and it kills it.
01:36:17.000It takes like five or six hours for the full trip.
01:36:19.000And it's like a ride through to the other side.
01:36:22.000It allows you, during that brief amount of time, to tune into the spirit world, which is all around us all the time.
01:36:31.000It's a huge part of their culture, and it's been something that has been passed on from generation to generation.
01:36:38.000It's a really incredible discovery because they figured out out all those plants.
01:36:41.000They figured out how to take this, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, mix it together, boil it, strain it out, drink it, throw up.
01:37:37.000Once you go to the other side, apparently, you realize all that matters is being harmonious with Mother Nature.
01:37:46.000And once you see the spirit world and you see it so clearly, All the materialistic stuff in the world apparently seems to not be so important anymore.
01:39:32.000So then I became super atheistic, started writing songs about Satan.
01:39:35.000I didn't believe in Satan, but I'm like, I don't believe in anything and I'm gonna scare all these Christians and I'm gonna write about Satan killing priests and stuff.
01:40:29.000And as if he read my mind, he stopped playing, walked up to me, looked me in the face and said, if I guess your birthday, will you listen to me?
01:42:41.000That guy, nobody loves the planet more than that dude.
01:42:44.000You know, I was listening to a McKenna podcast, I forget, Psychedelic Cafe, I think is the name of the podcast, and it had a Terence McKenna speech where he was talking about how everybody's so concerned about the rainforest and everyone's so concerned about the environment and pollution and toxifications of the ocean, but of just one, just one of these things that has hit the earth so many times in the past, came here from outer space, you wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore.
01:43:12.000You know, he's talking about the meteor that hit the Yucatan and how that within the first second and a half, it was five miles deep into the earth.
01:45:05.000That's how I became a conspiracy theorist.
01:45:06.000That's why I'm fascinated with ancient cultures and what they did.
01:45:11.000I have stacks and stacks of DVDs, just like you.
01:45:14.000Stacks of DVDs of conspiracy theories and Documentaries on ancient cultures and the government and how the government works and all this stuff.
01:45:25.000That set me on the course right there to find out what's really going on.
01:45:39.000So I became agnostic and through DMT and all the things that I've been through, To me, I feel I'm pretty certain there's an afterlife, that we don't just die and we're just done.
01:45:51.000I believe that there is the Akashic Records, and the ancient Indians believed, from India, they believed, you know, they dubbed it the Akashic Records.
01:46:02.000In the afterworld, there's a river of infinite information that you can have access to, the answers to everything, and through meditation and just...
01:46:13.000Through controlling your own frequency, people have done it.
01:46:58.000He knew the function of every gland, and no one knew if he was bullshitting because they didn't even know back then.
01:47:05.000We're finding the shit he's saying, we're finding out the shit now, that he was right.
01:47:09.000He would rattle off the pituitary gland and give you what vitamins you need to take, what's its function, going through all the glands, and people thought, he's crazy.
01:47:49.000I believe that with the tank, and especially if I go into the tank under the influence of the sacred plant, And I get into that groove of completely, totally letting go and trying to abandon all that is about me and just try to be empty and just tune into it.
01:48:48.000And if I can, if I can, it's literally like a magical event, man, where I pop through this tunnel on the other side and there's this beautiful, incredible, psychedelic world over there.
01:48:58.000Psychedelic world of patterns and communication and it's like a mushroom trip.
01:49:18.000Your imagination, you're a very creative person.
01:49:20.000Now think of all the different things that you've thought of, you know, whether you were when you were writing shit for the man show or whether you're creating jujitsu moves.
01:49:26.000Whatever it is, you think it, and then it manifests itself in a real form as a real thing, a solid object.
01:49:33.000It was at one point in time just a thought.
01:49:35.000Like, the ability to put something in a can.
01:49:37.000Somebody had to think this up, how to make a fucking can, and then figure out how many coconuts you'd have to squash to get all this coconut juice into this can.
01:49:45.000There's a lot of work involved in that, but someone has to create it and think it.
01:49:48.000And so the imagination allows you to think of these ideas, and then they manifest themselves in a real form.
01:49:58.000When you're thinking things up and someone comes up with the idea of nuclear power, I mean, granted, there's a bunch of steps along the way, a bunch of other discoveries have to be made, a bunch of things have to be pieced together to get to a point where you're making a nuclear power plant or an airplane or fucking anything really complicated.
01:50:13.000But the bottom line is all of it has come out of nothing.
01:50:18.000All of it, every idea ever, has come out of the air.
01:50:33.000Yes, there's lots of proof, but the undeniable proof, you look at Edgar Cayce, he proves that you can somehow, under hypnosis or in a trance or in meditation, you can tap into this infinite knowledge, these answers that came from somewhere else.
01:50:47.000So if there is this infinite river of knowledge, Or what the hell is it?
01:51:03.000When we exist in the spirit world, are we like this super infinite?
01:51:08.000I mean, because if you listen to the mystics and ancient cultures, the mediums, if you look at all the things they all agree on, they all say, and even Terence McKenna has said this, that in the afterlife, In the other dimension, there's no time.
01:52:23.000The guy who guessed my birthday and my friend's birthday, he tapped into this infinite river of knowledge that ancient cultures all talk about.
01:52:44.000If what we know is it, It's embarrassing for this universe.
01:52:50.000If we're the smartest, nobody knows shit on this planet.
01:52:52.000Yeah, but that's not embarrassing, because at one point in time, it had to be lower than us.
01:52:57.000If the Big Bang actually created the universe, at one point in time, like a day old, was the universe like, God, you should be embarrassed with yourself.
01:53:04.000You don't even have worms yet, you fucking loser?
01:53:06.000Well, the whole universe, if everything evolves, at one point in time, it has to be in a low form.
01:53:12.000You know, what we are in this, you know, if this is a universe, if this is a dimension, you know, whatever you want to classify this space that we dwell in, you know, whether you think it's one part of the great beyond, it's all attached together, whatever the fuck it is, this part is at this stage, this is where it is, you know, as embarrassing as what we are right now, this may very well be as far as it gets.
01:53:31.000I mean, if we think that there are aliens, and we think that aliens at one point in time used to be, you know, like us, and then they evolved and became much better than us, well, that means they had to be like us at one point in time.
01:54:31.000I mean, there's so much proof of it, but there's also these inconsistencies with it too, like the missing link and the chromosomes and all that stuff.
01:54:39.000I think a lot of that is just a lack of understanding, honestly.
01:54:43.000I believe that if there's an Akashic Records, if there's an infinite river of knowledge, There's definitely, in my eyes, the conclusion would be that there's a higher power with higher intelligence than what we're at.
01:54:56.000Someone else, we're not creating that shit.
01:55:16.000It might be that there is no God and there is no one who's at the wheel of this whole thing, but that the whole thing is moving in a direction.
01:55:23.000The way to move in the correct direction is to move towards God, is to move towards love, is to move towards friendship and happiness.
01:55:30.000And that's why when you crack through to the next stage, when you have that DMT trip and you go over there, it's like, What you're trying to do is to get there.
01:55:37.000What you're trying to do is to tune in to how they're tuned in.
01:55:40.000And then it's not even that there's a thing behind it, but it's that you are it.
01:56:03.000It's the ultimate mindfuck to think about, you know, and that your own biology is sort of betraying you into thinking that you're an individual and that you're not a part of some gigantic fucking thing that's all happening.
01:56:14.000But one of the things that you've realized and I've realized over the course of our friendship, I mean, Eddie's been my best friend since I think 2000, we started hanging out in 2000. It comes back to the story of the Twister.
01:56:26.000Because this is how we became good friends.
01:56:29.000I was getting private lessons when I first started doing Jiu Jitsu.
01:56:36.000But I'm going to say something negative.
01:56:38.000And because I was getting private lessons from him all the time, he was the only guy that I was rolling with.
01:56:43.000And I wasn't really learning nearly as much as I thought.
01:56:45.000I thought, like if you're kickboxing, like you say, if you get a chance to work out with Rob Kamen, It's way better to work out what Rob came in one-on-one than it is to go to a private class.
01:56:53.000He's going to correct all your technique.
01:56:55.000So I thought that would be the case with jiu-jitsu.
01:56:57.000I would get really good going to class.
01:56:59.000And Eddie was the first person to tell me.
01:57:01.000And Eddie came to one of the private lessons that I was having with Silvio, and we rolled around a little bit.
01:57:07.000And right away, he got me in a twister.
01:57:09.000And I had no idea what the fuck he's doing.
01:57:11.000All of a sudden, he hooks my knee with his left leg, and his left foot goes under his right knee, and he rolls forward under his left shoulder, and I'm spinning around like a top, and next thing you know, he's got my arm wrapped around his neck, and he's fucking pulling on my neck like this.
01:57:24.000I was like, what the fuck did you just do?
01:57:26.000Like, I had been doing jujitsu for two years, and I had no idea what the fuck you just did to me.
02:01:05.000I didn't watch NewsRadio, and at that point, it was before Fear Factor, so I never watched NewsRadio, and so I was like, oh, can I hear he's an actor or something?
02:01:15.000I barely remembered you, but then when I saw you at the comedy store...
02:03:45.000I got a couple songs on the soundtrack.
02:03:47.000But we did our best to make it, to fill all the holes, to make sure that a hardcore MMA fan could come and watch this movie and couldn't poke any holes.
02:03:57.000I choreographed a fight where he gets a guy to twist her.
02:03:59.000And it seemed at that point like, you know, like there was no twisters in the UFC. So I could see like the producers as I'm putting it together.
02:04:06.000Like, are you sure we're going to do this?
02:05:12.000Joey Diaz will be on the podcast Wednesday, and then Wednesday night we'll be at Sal's Comedy Hall in L.A. All right, bitches, you know I love you!
02:05:18.000Saturday night, or Saturday, the Saturday 10th Planet, Springfield.
