#1472 - Michael Yo

[0] Michael yo yes back from the brink it's crazy you are the first guy that I've well my friend Sturgle got it and I talked to him but he didn't get it real bad like how bad he didn't get it bad okay he was like a little fatigued yeah yeah so tell to give me the full run down for people don't know what we're talking about you got coronavirus you were one of the first you get it that I know you got it right after you were on this podcast you're on this podcast You flew to New York.

[1] Did Gotham for four shows.

[2] Little run down.

[3] Yeah, a little run down.

[4] As soon as I landed, I did Wendy Williams on Monday.

[5] And then I flew back and went to Vegas for a day as soon as I got back.

[6] And then I had three auditions.

[7] So I was run down.

[8] And that weekend.

[9] Were you feeling sick already?

[10] No. Just tired.

[11] Just tired.

[12] But, I mean, we're always tired, really.

[13] The road.

[14] The road gets you.

[15] Yeah.

[16] And I was moving all the time.

[17] And very stressful.

[18] You know, you're trying to.

[19] perform you're trying to learn lines for an audition so I was very stressed out I was traveling a lot and that was like my third weekend in a row so it was sleep much sleep yeah I I get great sleep but you know with two kids like they're both at the age where you know you have to have both eyes on them do you ever um wear a sleep monitoring device or anything that I have but I it's a whoop strap no I've never worn that but I get eight to nine hours asleep every night.

[20] Like, I'm a great sleeper.

[21] Okay.

[22] Like, I sleep through anything.

[23] So it wasn't a sleep day.

[24] I was just, I was just tired, overworked maybe.

[25] But Saturday, that's Saturday.

[26] I didn't feel right.

[27] My temperature went up to like 101.

[28] This is, you flew to New York, what day?

[29] It was, I performed, I was there Wednesday, which would have been, I'm guessing, that dates May 4th.

[30] I mean, yeah, March 4th.

[31] March 4th.

[32] I performed the 6th and 7th, stayed the 8th.

[33] did Wendy Williams on the 9th, flew back on that Monday, went to Vegas Tuesday morning, came back that same day, then...

[34] What'd you do in Vegas besides heroin?

[35] We were, you know, visiting her parents, my wife's parents, with the kids, and then...

[36] So no party in?

[37] No party.

[38] It was drive in and drive out.

[39] Okay.

[40] But that's exhausting.

[41] That's 10 hours on the road.

[42] Yeah.

[43] And then dealing with two kids in a car.

[44] And then the three auditions.

[45] and then that Saturday, I didn't feel right.

[46] And this is, you got to remember when I performed in New York, there's only 11 deaths.

[47] And it was like 3 ,000 cases.

[48] That's how much this thing has changed.

[49] But Saturday, I didn't feel right.

[50] 101, it went.

[51] I said, I should isolate myself.

[52] Because I, in New York, that's all you heard about.

[53] So I was like, let me just be safe and isolate myself.

[54] So let's break this down.

[55] So you leave Wednesday, you go to New York, you do a couple of different.

[56] TV things, then you do the weekend at Gotham, and then you fly home, and then you go to Vegas on Tuesday, and then you drive home on Wednesday.

[57] Drive back Tuesday night.

[58] Oh, Jesus.

[59] Yeah.

[60] So in and out in one day?

[61] In and out in one day.

[62] And then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday audition.

[63] Then Saturday, I was like, okay, this is my rest day, and then I woke up and something just didn't feel right.

[64] So I was going, okay, it's probably the road.

[65] You know, I'm stressed road.

[66] So it's about during the day, I hang out, I isolate myself, but I'm between 100 and 101.

[67] Second day, I'm like 101, 102.

[68] But I'm still like, look, I'm going to beat this thing.

[69] They say stay at home.

[70] Because at that time, they said, if you have symptoms, stay at home because they're taking the more serious cases.

[71] So the Sunday, Sunday came around, I kind of went down a little.

[72] I was taking aspirin, a lot of aspirin.

[73] Because one doctor at the time said take it every four hours.

[74] and I was also taking aspirin and something else to bring your temperature down.

[75] I forgot what it was.

[76] But, oh, aspirin and...

[77] Well, you said when you started taking ibuprofen, that's when it fucked you up.

[78] That's when I felt it did.

[79] So Sunday, I started getting this massive headache.

[80] So that's when I really started popping the aspirin, three every three hours.

[81] But aspirin or ibuprofen?

[82] It was ibuprofen.

[83] That's a big difference between aspirin and ibuprofen.

[84] Ibuprofen is a non -steroidal anti -inflammatory.

[85] Okay, well, okay, I was taking Advil, whatever ad val.

[86] Yes, that is a non -steroidal anti -inflammatory.

[87] Okay.

[88] This is what I keep hearing, and I don't know if there's been substantiated, that you shouldn't take ibuprofen while you have this.

[89] Okay, well.

[90] For whatever reason.

[91] I don't know what that is.

[92] I don't know, I don't know if that's been discredited or is that, is that real?

[93] I don't know either.

[94] So I was taking a lot of Advil.

[95] Okay.

[96] A lot of Advil in Tylenol to bring.

[97] bring the fever down.

[98] So I got it down on Sunday, but then I had a massive headache.

[99] So then they said, well, your temperature's going down.

[100] This was our doctor friend.

[101] Your temperature's going down.

[102] Just hit the Advil.

[103] So I hit the Advil Monday at noon.

[104] I couldn't breathe.

[105] Like gasping for air.

[106] And my wife had to call 911 to the house to come get me. So I'm gasping for air.

[107] 911 shows up.

[108] They bring me outside.

[109] They throw me on this huge, this oxygen machine right away.

[110] What kind of an oxygen?

[111] A ventilator?

[112] Not a ventilator.

[113] No, just a normal oxygen machine.

[114] They say we got to get oxygen in you.

[115] Okay.

[116] And it's almost like a movie.

[117] The neighbors are all out.

[118] Ambulance is overlooking me. You know, the ambulance is there.

[119] All the neighbors are looking.

[120] I can't breathe.

[121] My son is in the window.

[122] This is the worst.

[123] My son is in the window.

[124] He doesn't know what's going on, but he knows it's not good.

[125] And he's only three.

[126] And he's crying.

[127] And I'm watching him cry.

[128] And I can't do anything.

[129] I can't breathe.

[130] And literally when they pick me up to carry me to the ambulance because they need to get me to the hospital right away.

[131] It was the whole window thing.

[132] He put his hand up.

[133] Oh, Jesus.

[134] It really hurt me really bad.

[135] So I get into the ambulance and they take me as soon as I get to the hospital, the doctor goes, you got Corona.

[136] So they take.

[137] But did they do a test or did you just know?

[138] Yes.

[139] The first thing they do is they do a chest x -ray.

[140] And they go, you got double pneumonia.

[141] and Corona.

[142] What's double pneumonia?

[143] When it's in both lungs.

[144] So double pneumonia and you have Corona, we believe, but we got to test you.

[145] So they, you know, swab me and stuff.

[146] But they took all the precautions like I had Corona.

[147] I was the first Corona patient at this hospital.

[148] This is how early it was, you know.

[149] So they took me to ICU and the doctor came in and I go, hey, this is escalating real.

[150] And I'm still can't breathe.

[151] I go, am I going to make it?

[152] And he goes, well, no. in two days.

[153] It's going to go really good or really bad.

[154] And we'll know in two days.

[155] And every nurse or doctor that came in, when they can't tell you if you're going to make it or not, you know, they try to comfort you, but they can't really say you're going to make it.

[156] And it, and I was in the worst pain I've ever felt my life too.

[157] Where?

[158] I mean, just think about the worst migraine you've ever had times of hundred.

[159] my body was hot and cold it would get so hot my temperature got up to a hundred and three point eight and they had to bring it down and then it would go up to 103 .8 again uh I couldn't move my body was aching literally the second night I was there and I and I know this is the wrong thing to think but if they had a eject button on life I may have hit it I was in that much pain like that I couldn't even think clearly.

[160] I can't put in the words how bad it was for me. So your head, your body, everything.

[161] Where you just wanted to be over.

[162] Wow.

[163] It's either you're going to make it.

[164] You're like, and it was so bad where you want to think about your family, but I was in so much pain.

[165] You know, I thought about them, but it was, I can't make it.

[166] This is the end, and I can't see my family because they already told me that, no one can come into the hospital.

[167] And I'm texting my wife lying to her saying, hey, babe, I'm going to make it through.

[168] I'm going to make it through where I'm talking to my parents going, this may not go well.

[169] You know, and my parents, the first thing I texted my parents is I'm scared.

[170] I'm never texting them something like that.

[171] And they knew how serious it was.

[172] And I said, look, Claire is, my wife, Claire, is at home with the two kids.

[173] I can't let her worry about this.

[174] you know she was already stressed out enough she saw enough you know so I'm in there and the doctor says that no one can come see you so I'm going if these are the last two days of my life I'm going to die alone in this hospital and and it just broke me up so bad that you know I've taken care of myself I've done everything I can you know to take care of myself and why am I lying in this bed right now you know and it was a thing where when I did think about my wife it was I will never see my wife and two kids again you know that that's all that went through my mind is like I did they put you on a ventilator no my doctor saved my life my doctor said if we put you on a ventilator he said that he says because a nurse brought her up should we put him on a ventilator and he goes no way if we put him on a ventilator he's going to die because his body is going to going to say, okay, this machine is bringing for us, we don't need to work anymore.

[175] And your body shuts down.

[176] If you heard in New York 80 % of people put on ventilators, die.

[177] And that's why you think?

[178] I think that's why I survived.

[179] I've heard that.

[180] I've heard that being speculated by other doctors as well.

[181] And it's very controversial because so many doctors put people on ventilators.

[182] And the last thing they want to hear is another doctor saying, you've put someone on a ventilator, they'll die.

[183] Well, my doctor said that straight up in the room in front of me to the nurses.

[184] Like if we put him on it, he's going to die.

[185] Because his thing was, it just makes sense why he would.

[186] Because now this machine is going to breathe for him so his body's not going to, it's like working out.

[187] You don't work out of muscle.

[188] It gets weak.

[189] Right.

[190] This machine is doing all you're lifting.

[191] So why would we want to put them on that unless it's, it's just we have to put them on it, you know?

[192] But you've heard doctors we're putting on people so fast because their oxygen levels were so low, they're like, this isn't, this is not normal.

[193] So we need to do something to get their oxygen level up.

[194] I think doctors are like everything else, right?

[195] There's really good ones.

[196] Then there's ones that aren't as good.

[197] No, it's true.

[198] With everything else, with everything, carpenters, plumbers, everything.

[199] Everything.

[200] And it's really, I look back, I'm still, now I've become very close to him.

[201] And the dude saved my life.

[202] Because if I went on a ventilator, bro, I don't, I may not be here.

[203] Because that was so.

[204] You want to ventilator.

[205] later they kind of knock you out yeah you're unconscious literally that machine is doing all your breathing so what did they give you what kind of medication did they give you while you were out while i'm healthy don't drink don't do drugs i was the perfect test subject maybe that's a problem your body's not used to fight not bullshit maybe if you got a party all the time your body's like well we know how to recover this motherfucker went on a bender listen to this is I gave it to my mom.

[206] Oh, no. So she gets home.

[207] She didn't tell me why I was in a hospital.

[208] She beat it in one day.

[209] And she talked shit to me now.

[210] Oh, see?

[211] I beat it in one day.

[212] I have one fever.

[213] You take eight days in ICU.

[214] You know, and then she tells me, oh, it's because you're too healthy.

[215] You need carbs.

[216] You need carbs?

[217] That's hilarious.

[218] Now she's a doctor.

[219] Now she's a doctor.

[220] But I gave it to my mom.

[221] She beat in one day.

[222] Well, she probably wasn't run down.

[223] No. Dude, run down is the thing.

[224] man you know look I'm a guy I take a lot of vitamins I work out a lot I get in the song every day but I just flew back from Florida I saw you to Florida and came back yesterday I felt like dog shit and just from the flight man just from the and it's one day so I scheduled an IV vitamin drip I had the vitamin drip people come to my house hit me with glutathione zinc vitamin C everything and I felt better almost immediately yeah you got to take care of yourself and but to yeah how I don't want to get off me, but like, how, how was that spacing at this venue for you during the fight?

[225] Because it sounded like y 'all are next to each other, and then I heard, like, in a story, y 'all were separated?

[226] We were about as far as Jamie is about as far as John Anick was, and then D .C. was, like, a little further than that, because there was a separation.

[227] There was, like, the octagon post, and so for him to get a better angle, he couldn't be sitting right in front of the post.

[228] So they moved his table, like another.

[229] He was probably 15, 20 feet from me, somewhere around that.

[230] People, do you feel that, I feel like fighters, you know, fighters are tough.

[231] You know, and I feel like the audience is tough too.

[232] And the people associated with it is tough.

[233] Did they move around freely or was it really like, oh, I need to stay away from you?

[234] Well, here's the deal.

[235] Everyone was tested.

[236] Everyone.

[237] In fact, one guy tested positive.

[238] He was asymptomatic.

[239] Shakirae Soza, who was on the card.

[240] And he had an inkling that he might test positive because he had a family member that had it.

[241] And he was super healthy, ready to fight.

[242] but had it in his system.

[243] And so they removed him from the card, and he had been wearing a mask and gloves the entire time he was there.

[244] And everyone else had wristbands on.

[245] The wristbands showed that you'd been tested.

[246] They had temperature monitors.

[247] They had all these different things.

[248] But everybody had been tested thoroughly.

[249] Tested for antibodies, tested for the swab.

[250] I got the swab up the nose.

[251] I got everything done.

[252] So, and then when I got home, I immediately got swab again.

[253] I got a swab yesterday, and then I got the vitamin drip and everything like that.

[254] But I didn't get much sleep Saturday night because I was flying back 8 o 'clock in the morning.

[255] Fights were done.

[256] I was back to my hotel around 2 .30.

[257] So I crashed, woke up early, got to the airport, took off, landed, and then just kind of took it easy yesterday.

[258] But until I got the vitamin drip, I was dragging.

[259] I was feeling, and that's what happens when you fly, and you had flown a couple of times in a short period of time.

[260] And then that drive to Vegas.

[261] all that stuff you have to think of your immune system like troops you know you really do if there's a battle to be fought look if your body was like your moms where you you know you had a good night sleep every night no traveling you can fight off a lot more shit but when you do those trips especially this is one thing that I'm getting out of this quarantine is man I feel so much better when I don't travel oh yeah so much better when I wasn't dying I feel great now I feel great now I feel great now yeah rest is a big thing it's everything it's everything and you know I'm going to change my travel schedule in the future because even this trip this trip I wanted to just get in and get the fuck out of Florida and get back home and and you know but then after I did it I was like it would be wiser if I left at like 6 p .m. or something like that just kind of chill out give myself plenty of time to sleep sleep so I'm fully recovered and then you you know, have some breakfast, then go to the airport, you know, take a 3 p .m. flight or some shit.

[262] How was it with nobody in there?

[263] Did you enjoy the experience?

[264] Well, I wanted to do it because I've never done that before.

[265] And I watched the one card from Brazil.

[266] They had Kevin Lee versus Charles Olivera fought in Brazil.

[267] And I watched it on TV.

[268] And I was like, God, that's so strange.

[269] Because, like, Gilbert Burns, he knocked out Damien Maya.

[270] And then he yells out, uh, poha.

[271] You know, like, there's something Brazilian said, and he yells out, pooh -ha!

[272] And you hear it, like, echo in this empty arena.

[273] And while I was watching, I'm like, that's so strange.

[274] He's screaming, and there's no one there.

[275] There's no audience reaction.

[276] I'm like, wow.

[277] So I decided to like, I got to do one.

[278] So when Dana White asked me if I wanted to do it, I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to do one.

[279] I definitely want to do one.

[280] Do you feel like the fighters were listening to you know?

[281] Yeah, 100 % were.

[282] They made adjustments because things the D .C. said.

[283] So Cormier, you know, we're all right next to each other.

[284] That close.

[285] Oh, yeah.

[286] We're at the octagon.

[287] Okay.

[288] We're still at the octagon.

[289] We're right in front of the octagon.

[290] I could reach up and touch the octagon.

[291] So when, well, it's actually a little bit further than we usually are, but still, empty arena.

[292] Like where that wall is.

[293] That's where the octagon is.

[294] Pretty close.

[295] And, you know, D .C.'s giving them points.

[296] He's like pointers.

[297] He's saying, you know, he's got to check those leg kicks.

[298] And they're like, well, you see guys making adjustments.

[299] Like he was talking about Carlos Sparza And Carlos Sparza backstage gave DC credit For like what what the advice that he was saying In the commentary was the adjustments that she'd made That's great Yeah, it was weird, you know I loved watching like I watched the prelimbs But I loved it because you could hear everything Because normally it's so loud Yeah But when somebody hit somebody It's in the face You could hear it but especially to the body Yeah Oh my it was like a thund And then you hear the other person, it changed the game for me on UFC where you, I think a lot of people appreciated more with not having a crowd yell, where you really get to feel the pain.

[300] Because when it's loud, you don't, you see somebody fall, but you don't really, okay, but when you hear it, oh.

[301] There's different things going on, right?

[302] It's like there's the energy of the crowd.

[303] That's a factor.

[304] That's a real thing.

[305] Like there's something magical about a wild finish in front of a packed house at the T -Mobile arena.

[306] Oh, yeah.

[307] Everybody's screaming and cheering like, wow.

[308] Or like when Connor McGregor walks to the Octagon and everybody's going crazy.

[309] There's something to that.

[310] It's valuable.

[311] But there's also something to just the spectacle of Tony Ferguson and Justin Gae just going at it.

[312] I mean, like wild five -round slug fest with no audience.

[313] Do you think that fight would have been different if a crowd was there?

[314] No. No, I don't think so.

[315] Maybe, but I don't think so.

[316] It's possible.

[317] I think Justin had a game plan, and he executed it brilliantly.

[318] And I think Ferguson, he's always going to be Tony Ferguson.

[319] He's one of the toughest men that's ever walked the face of the earth.

[320] But I think he was preparing for a grappler.

[321] He's preparing for Kabib Nirmugamatov, and that fight didn't take place.

[322] It was supposed to take place in April.

[323] So he had been training for Khabib.

[324] By the way, this is the fifth time that fight was canceled.

[325] The fifth time the fight with Tony and Khabi was canceled.

[326] So Tony's been training for Khabi for fucking years, right?

[327] So he's ready for this elite grappler, takes everybody down and smashes him.

[328] He's trying to – he's thinking of cutting them from the bottom.

[329] He's thinking of submitting them and scrambling and getting leg locks and all these different things that he's thinking of.

[330] And then he's fighting an all -American wrestler who does not want to go to the ground and it was nasty striking.

[331] So it's a totally different game plan.

[332] And he has to make an adjustment over a period of, just a few weeks.

[333] And so Justin's fight is, I mean, Justin always fights the same way.

[334] So Justin's adjustments weren't nearly as big as Tony's.

[335] Tony had to make some big adjustments.

[336] But Justin just fought a masterpiece.

[337] The way he fought was just magnificent.

[338] And he listened to his coaches so well.

[339] There's a point during the fight where Trevor Whitman is telling him you're hitting him too hard.

[340] You're swinging for the bleachers.

[341] He just take about 10 % off your punch.

[342] He's hit him with good clean shots.

[343] And he immediately made that adjustment.

[344] And then his cardio leveled out because he was getting tired towards the end of the second because he was just throwing just bombs every shot he was trying to take Tony Ferguson's head off but you can't knock Tony out with one shot he's inhumanly tough inhumanly tough so Justin backs it off a little bit and just is throwing clean shots and then winds up just dominating them and then they stop it in the fifth round what's the one thing you learned like was there something you took away from this experience that like you didn't take away from any other it was interesting it was interesting I felt very, very fortunate to be there.

[345] I'm like, out of all the people that could be here to watch one of the greatest fights of all time, I felt super fortunate that I was one of those people that got to be there.

[346] I felt like real fortunate for that.

[347] Like everything about it, I was like taken in the moment and just like really cherishing it.

[348] I'm like, wow, this is amazing.

[349] Like not a lot of people get to do this.

[350] Not a lot of people get to experience this.

[351] Not a lot of people get to do commentary for the UFC period, but to do commentary for championship fights in this arena where there's no one there.

[352] So we're in a 15 ,000 -seat arena, and there's maybe 10 people in the audience.

[353] So why didn't need an arena that big?

[354] We were talking about that.

[355] We're like, why can't we do this?

[356] We could have done this in the hotel.

[357] Yeah.

[358] We got a conference room and set up an Octagon in there, like literally.

[359] Yeah, I was wondering why they did that.

[360] But is it a spectacle of having a big arena just to say you did it?

[361] I think there's something to that to letting everybody know, hey, these are strange, strange times.

[362] You know, we're in the middle of this health crisis.

[363] And so this is the response to this health crisis.

[364] We're going to do this shit in this arena.

[365] But would you do it again?

[366] Because you said you wanted to do one.

[367] But it seemed like you didn't mind it.

[368] I enjoy, well, I mean, I love calling fights.

[369] And I think as long as I take the right precautions, I'm tested a lot.

[370] And I'm keeping my immune system in check and making sure that I don't do anything that wears me out.

[371] And I did kind of fuck that up by flying home with just a few hours sleep on Saturday.

[372] But I took care of myself on Sunday and just hung around with the family.

[373] And we, you know, didn't do much.

[374] Just went on a hike and hung out and enjoyed the summer and enjoyed the weather rather.

[375] It's a beautiful weather out here right now.

[376] It's not quite summer yet, but spring.

[377] But I think as long as you do that, I think you can be okay.

[378] I think when you yourself in a position like yourself when you warn yourself out or if you have a compromised immune system this is my thought and this is from talking to numerous doctors including my own personal doctor who's very critical my personal doctor is very critical about the way we're handling this this crisis what's he say what he's saying is the most important thing is education on how to keep your immune system healthy it's like this is something that you're not hearing everything is social distancing everything is cover your mouth everything is use hand sanitizer he goes that's wonderful because that's all good stuff but we need education on how to keep your immune system strong we need education on to i have dr ronda patrick coming in later this week to try to uh school people on what the actual clinical tests the actual uh real knowledge of what we really understand about the immune system and supplementation and heat shock proteins cold shock proteins, all the different various methods that we know are actually legitimately provably effective.

[379] I think it's interesting how all these different facts are coming out because when I was at the beginning of it, but I've heard from so many, after I went through this, and big shout out to your fan base, because they reached out to me and showed me so much love when I was in the hospital and I just got out.

[380] And that means so much to me. That's awesome.

[381] When they reached out and it was really all love.

[382] but so many doctors reached out to me too and said there's so much misinformation out there and I texted you about one that people should know about when people get out of the hospital with corona like there's no magical time they're saying 14 days literally when I got out the hospital I was in the hospital for eight days the last three days I didn't have a fever so they let me go they said seven days six days after that I would be fine but another doctor me, look, after you're cleared, after 14 days, people still have corona.

[383] They're taking the chance that it's not contagious.

[384] And that's why hospitals don't test people.

[385] And he said that this is why hospitals don't test people before they let them go is because they know they still got corona, but hopefully it's not contagious.

[386] So that's why they never test.

[387] Because if they did, that means people got to stay there two to three weeks longer.

[388] And that's the real reason.

[389] He says, we would never, can you imagine when New York was going through that, like really bad?

[390] I mean, they're still going through it, but when it was at its peak, if they tested everybody that left, most of those people would still have corona, so that would back up the system even more.

[391] And then insurance has to pay for an extra three weeks.

[392] So I learned that.

[393] I learned that my other doctor said this whole preexisting conditions is bullshit.

[394] He goes, you came in.

[395] He says, this is how much bullshit it is.

[396] You came in.

[397] If I would have died in a hospital, they would have said my pre -existing condition was migraines.

[398] They would have gone down.

[399] Right, but there are some pre -existing conditions that weaken your immune system, like obesity, diabetes, there's a bunch of them that they're saying in New York are the primary factors of the people that wind up having a really hard time with this.

[400] Well, he's saying, though, they're using that pre -existing conditions, and I say it in quotes, to let healthy or other people almost like, oh, well, if you don't have this pre -existing condition, you're going to be fine, but it's not true.

[401] He's like, they're using it to calm people down.

[402] He goes, it's not true at all.

[403] He says, I see people that are fine, just like you, Mike.

[404] I see people that do have pre -existing conditions.

[405] I see the whole gamut.

[406] It's not just people with pre -existing conditions, but they're finding the.

[407] people and highlighting those, and he's even at, they're even adding deaths to that pre -existing conditions total because they need some.

[408] What do you mean deaths to the pre -existing?

[409] For example, like mine.

[410] If my pre -existing condition, he said, if I were to die in that hospital, he says, oh, well, he had migraines in his past.

[411] So they would have put that down as a pre -existing condition.

[412] Well, how often do you get migraines?

[413] I mean, ever since I was a kid, but.

[414] Really?

[415] Well, I played college football for University of Arkansas.

[416] I got so many concussions I couldn't play anymore.

[417] So, and this was before the whole concussion thing.

[418] So my mom made me quit.

[419] She was like, you're not playing anymore.

[420] So it was a thing where, but it wasn't a condition.

[421] I have one every, I have one every five, six months, maybe.

[422] But he says, what you come in with since I had migraines, and they didn't know my history of migraines.

[423] But he goes, we would have had to say that was a preexisting condition.

[424] I haven't heard that pre -existing condition being migraines, but I have heard diabetes is a giant factor, obesity is a giant factor, emphysema, people who smoke cigarettes.

[425] But then there was an article recently something, I got super suspicious, and I didn't even read the articles.

[426] It was an article that said that nicotine may help people with coronavirus, and I was like, that's the fucking cigarette industry.

[427] Did you ever see the documentary Merchants of Doubt?

[428] No. It's a great documentary.

[429] What's it about?

[430] It's about people that are hired to.

[431] go on shows and put doubt into people's minds about certain things that would benefit an industry.

[432] So these guys, they originally started out, the same, the documentary shows the same people would go on these talk shows to talk about cigarettes.

[433] Marble.

[434] Cigarettes are not addictive.

[435] This is not the Marble Man guy.

[436] These are people that are posing like experts and they're on these, you know, those stupid fucking talk shows on CNN and stuff.

[437] where you have three windows and then there's like Anderson Cooper and there's a person to his left and a person to his right and the guy on the right is like cigarettes are not addictive it's been proven you know you whip up and he's good just rattling it off and then you see that same guy later in the documentary many years later talking about climate change it's the same thing talking about climate change is a myth it's just a natural cycle of the earth human beings have nothing to do with it and it's literally the same human being doing the same thing but we see that in politics it's all spin Right, but this is what I'm saying when I read something about nicotine being good for people that have the coronavirus.

[438] I'm like, come on, cigarette industry.

[439] Are you motherfuckers involved in this?

[440] It's like, who's running tests on, let's try morphine?

[441] You know, let's see how heroin works on these people.

[442] What about coke?

[443] Give them cocaine.

[444] You know what's crazy about morphine is my migraine was so bad in a hospital.

[445] They came in and they go, we're going to give you morphine and we'll knock it right out.

[446] While you had Corona?

[447] Oh, Jesus.

[448] Like I said, they gave me everything, dude.

[449] Like I was...

[450] Morphine while you had Corona.

[451] So they gave it to me to get rid...

[452] Because my head was so bad.

[453] It really felt like I was going to...

[454] It accentuated your migraines.

[455] So the coronavirus accentuated those migraines.

[456] It was so bad, Joe.

[457] I can't even put it in the words.

[458] So when you're talking about the pain that you had, you had body pain and then your migraines on top of that.

[459] Yes.

[460] So you're just in the agony.

[461] And hot, cold, everything.

[462] So they gave me morphine.

[463] They go, this knocked out any headache.

[464] it worked for five seconds.

[465] Five seconds.

[466] And they looked at me and they go, how you feel now?

[467] It was like terrible.

[468] It feels the same.

[469] Then about two hours later, they came back and gave me more because I think they only can do it every two hours.

[470] And then you see elves.

[471] No, but I got really hot.

[472] I got really hot.

[473] I was like, I can't do this anymore.

[474] So they had to stop giving it to me. This is how I was a test subject and I don't mind because I'm living.

[475] but hydroxychloroquine that was big at the time I'm watching this on the news literally the president says try hydroxychloricant all the doctors are yes no yes no yes no they come in with it I'm in bed this is my first day they come in with it I'm watching news and they're talking about it they come in as like what are you giving me oh hydroxychloroquine so they give it to me then two hours later they come in and I go what are you giving me oh the HIV drug so now they put two drugs, and then they're pumping all kinds of shit at me. I don't even know what they're giving them.

[476] So they're trying things.

[477] They're trying things on me because they don't know.

[478] They don't know.

[479] That's what's so crazy, right?

[480] This is not like pneumonia where people have had it for 100 years or a thousand years.

[481] They don't know.

[482] This is a new thing.

[483] So a day and a half goes by.

[484] I'm in probably worse pain.

[485] They take me off of hydroxychloricloricrant.

[486] And I go, this is after, like weeks after I got out of hospital.

[487] I go, why did you take me off?

[488] He goes, where your body was?

[489] At that time, it couldn't handle it.

[490] It was not a good fit.

[491] So we had to take you off.

[492] So I must have got worse overnight.

[493] And I'm just guessing here, but they must have saw something get worse.

[494] My lungs were still filling up with fluid.

[495] So they kept me on the HIV drug in whatever else they were given to me. But it was, it's like I still have fluid in my lungs.

[496] They said it would take 12 weeks.

[497] Yeah.

[498] How many weeks have you been out now?

[499] Eight?

[500] Wow.

[501] And I'm so weak.

[502] literally I just they just approved I am like they just approved me to start working out last week so I did my first lift society class online and I could like usually I could do like 10 to 15 pull -ups each set I could do two two poops and I'm just weak like I still get winded like when I talk a lot I'll get winded and I'll just have to catch my breath wow like an old man I'm telling you like it for me me people with it real bad it's just not oh you're over it and you can move on you got to build back into it it's like rebuilding your body in your mind you know did they recommend anything as far as supplements or anything long no nothing he he says it's just rest well he's basically done his job right it's like motherfucker you're alive figure the shit out on your own right we'll get strong and literally I was the first person there and then by the time I left eight days later that place was filled with people that's how fast it happened.

[503] Wow.

[504] That's how fast it happened.

[505] And I saw people like tap it out.

[506] You know, I didn't see it, but I saw, you know, the body is past the line.

[507] And I'm like, wow.

[508] How many people died while you were there?

[509] I saw one.

[510] And that's when it really hit me that.

[511] And I got close to a nurse.

[512] I go, did they get to see it?

[513] He goes, no, they died in there alone.

[514] They tried to FaceTime.

[515] Can you imagine?

[516] Yeah And then like you see the stories Walkie Talkies They're talking about walkie talkies They're talking about phone They're talking trying to FaceTime I don't care if I like you or if I like you Like that's no way to die by yourself No You know not today And It's a thing where I just want people to know Look They're opening up the country And I get it I get the other side too That's why I get that people got to work.

[517] People got to get their lives back, you know, but you need to be safe.

[518] You need to be safe because it's a thing like if President Trump says comes out and goes, hey, we're going to do herd immunity, you know, you're prepared for that.

[519] But right now we don't know what to expect.

[520] We've gone from 60 ,000 debts.

[521] Now they're saying it's going to be 137 ,000.

[522] Like what's going on?

[523] You know, we only know what they tell us, you know, but I'm finding out there's so much more stuff we don't know because they don't know.

[524] Right.

[525] Now you're finding out that kids, like a very small amount of kids, are getting it, you know?

[526] And I don't understand the whole thing about just not being careful or safe because it's not about you.

[527] It's about other people.

[528] Like these, like the whole thing about, well, you know, a lot of blacks and Hispanics are getting it.

[529] You know?

[530] Yeah, because they're working out all these essential jobs.

[531] They're at your grocery stores.

[532] They're doing the jobs that a lot of people don't do.

[533] Well, anybody that's in poverty as well, you're working those essential jobs, but on top of that, you're probably not eating well.

[534] Exactly.

[535] Yeah, that's a real problem.

[536] It goes hand in hand.

[537] Oh, yeah.

[538] You know, like, their whole thing, like, if you can get a whole meal, two burgers and two fries and two cokes for $3 .99, it's a problem with that food.

[539] Yeah.

[540] You know?

[541] Right.

[542] Good point.

[543] Like, it's making you sick.

[544] Yeah.

[545] Good point.

[546] But that's all you can afford.

[547] Right.

[548] You know?

[549] Yeah, it is crazy that the cheapest food.

[550] is the worst for you and the most fattening.

[551] But that's the one you go to because you can't afford anything else.

[552] You know, and then you're getting, you know, I'm getting stories about, you know, like I have a bunch of Asian friends and they're getting bullied.

[553] Like it's so terrible.

[554] Like there was a story in Texas.

[555] A dude stabbed a guy and his two kids, two and six.

[556] What?

[557] Yes, it happened a couple months.

[558] He stabbed a two -year -old?

[559] Two -year -old, six -year -old in the guy because he thought they were Chinese.

[560] In Texas at a Sam's wholesale club.

[561] What?

[562] Yes.

[563] People are going nuts over this thing.

[564] We're all in this together, but you don't need to take it just because even if he was Chinese, like he's an American probably.

[565] He didn't bring it over here.

[566] Even if he was Chinese from China.

[567] He's not the person who made the fucking disease happen.

[568] And a two -year -old and a six -year -old?

[569] Yeah, a two -year -old and six -year -old.

[570] Like, I just feel like this whole time right now is giving people, and it's a very small group of people.

[571] Yeah.

[572] You know, and that's why I hate when certain people go, white people.

[573] Like, no, no, no, no. It's a very small number of white people doing it.

[574] I hate when people generalize a group.

[575] Like, even the whole Michigan thing, so Open Carey State.

[576] They showed up at this lady's office, you know, the governor's office.

[577] They were carrying the rifles.

[578] They were protesting, which they had every right to.

[579] And people go, I'll hear people or you see it at social media.

[580] Well, these white people, no, no, no, no. There's 356 million people in the United States.

[581] Is there that many now?

[582] Isn't it?

[583] I believe so.

[584] Jesus Christ.

[585] I believe so.

[586] There's only 700 people there.

[587] Yeah.

[588] You know, and probably a third of them just wanted to protest to get their jobs back, just to go back to work.

[589] So you can't generalize people.

[590] And you can't hate on people because of where they're from.

[591] Well, you can hate on people that are so fucking dumb, they bring guns to the governor's house.

[592] Like, what, that is ridiculous.

[593] Like, what are you doing?

[594] I agree.

[595] Are you trying to take over the governor?

[596] Like, what are you doing?

[597] Like, why are you bringing guns?

[598] Are you expecting a war?

[599] Are you going hunting?

[600] Like, what are you doing?

[601] Why are you bringing fucking guns?

[602] That's some weird shit when people do that, when they protest with, like, fucking Kalishnikovs and shit.

[603] Like, what are you doing?

[604] Like, why do you have a rifle?

[605] There was a guy.

[606] It was a clip I saw.

[607] A guy was like, a white guy to a white guy.

[608] It was like, hey, I want my job back too, but why the gun?

[609] And the guy was like, uh, it just walked away.

[610] It doesn't make, if you're protesting.

[611] Well, that's the thing about the Second Amendment.

[612] And I'm a pro Second Amendment man. I believe in it.

[613] I think it's important.

[614] But there's a lot of dumb motherfuckers out there.

[615] There's a lot of dumb, dumb motherfuckers out there.

[616] And they get to have.

[617] have guns too.

[618] I mean, I support that in a lot of ways.

[619] I have to support that if I support the Second Amendment.

[620] But at a certain point in time, you got to go, why the fuck are you bringing a gun to Sam's Club?

[621] Why do you have a fucking AK around your waist when you're walking through the aisles looking for toilet paper?

[622] Like, what are you doing?

[623] It's, it's amazing how, but let's be honest, they're giving a pass.

[624] You got a, you got a USA pass right now to act like that because they're well no I mean you do because it's well because the president's like those are fine people you know like what he's saying them yeah when is he saying that he said that the other day he goes those are good people that were protesting with the guns with the guns those are good people it's just it's a stupid thing to protest with guns like one of the nice things about this country is that we can protest absolutely that's a nice thing it's beautiful it's important this is one of things has been infringed upon by this whole lockdown thing where people, you know, they're being told they're not allowed to assemble.

[625] It's a gigantic part of who we are, the ability to assemble, the ability to protest.

[626] But I don't think that's just what they're doing.

[627] When you're showing up with guns, you're letting them know that you're ready to take over.

[628] You're ready to do something.

[629] You might shoot somebody.

[630] You know, you might, if you're threatened, you might use these guns.

[631] It's like, okay, if we're in that, you're escalating way past where we're at.

[632] You know, if you're in a situation where someone's saying, hey, your family has to starve to death, hey, you have to stay home, hey, I don't give a fuck about you.

[633] Okay, then I understand why you want to show that you have guns and you get to get a bunch of people together and go, hey, we need to stay alive here and we are our rights being infringed upon.

[634] But that's not what's going on.

[635] But if you go back to the backstory, you find out, Like, I don't know all the facts, but I know these people that showed up to this rally, they didn't put on that rally.

[636] It was by another organization through Facebook or through some social media outlet that put it together.

[637] And they told you people to bring their guns?

[638] No, they just told people to protest, to show up.

[639] So we're all ponds at some point to this political game.

[640] So how can you make, this is what's amazing to me. how we're in a place where they can put wearing a mask and make that political yeah like that's where we are today 80 ,000 deaths and now it's political if you wear a mask I don't understand it's political if you wear a mask well I mean most of the people that don't wear mask are these oh I'm a trumper like this is what we're seeing on TV what I'm saying is what we're being shown on TV and that's where most of the people get their information you know like from the news or oh so these people are not wearing their mask oh they got to be they got to be Republican not wearing a mask oh we need more testing if you hear we need more testing oh they must be liberal yeah they want to test like we've made a disease that's killing thousands thousands 80 ,000 and could be up way over 120 ,000 political instead of it being out hey let's all get through this now it's political well we do that with everything we do yeah and that's a problem well we like to I mean that's one of the problems with having just two parties in this country and having liberal and conservative which is crazy because there's a lot of people myself included that float in between both of those I do too I'm very liberal but I'm also very pro gun and I like things go sideways but why can't you be liberal and pro gun like can be and I am but I don't understand why like if a democrat says something nice about a Republican oh he's not a Democrat exactly for Republicans something nice about a Democrat?

[641] Oh, I agree with what they said.

[642] Oh, no, you can't be a Republican.

[643] Well, if you go on Fox News and you're a liberal, people will shame you and get angry at you for using that platform.

[644] And I've seen it, even with presidential candidates like Tulsi Gabbard and even Bernie Sanders.

[645] I think that we're in a weird place in this country where, you know, it's easy to adopt a predetermined pattern of behavior, a conglomeration of ideas, whether those ideas be conservative or liberal.

[646] And the real problem is these people that adopt these ideas oftentimes they sink into these ideas because they're comfortable it's easy to get if you like say if you decide people in your neighborhood are conservative i'm going to be conservative too because that's going to make them like me more and i'm going to say the things they want to hear and you know well i trust in god i trust in god too and they say these things so that people will like you more and you'll you'll fit in your community better and it just it's a it's a signal to the people around you that you're complying with the group ideology.

[647] And that is more of, that's more of the case than people simply rationally and objectively going over these ideas.

[648] You know, there's certain people that decide they don't want gay folks to be married, simply because people around them have decided that they don't want gay folks to be married.

[649] And marriage is supposed to be between a man and a woman, and you can't tell me any different, and the Bible says, and this and that, And I agree.

[650] And if you agree, well, that community will accept you.

[651] But if you are a person who goes, hey, Bob, why do you give a fuck?

[652] You know, if two men are in love with each other, like, they clearly, they're not pretending.

[653] Like, I don't care if, obviously, I have tattoos everywhere, right?

[654] I don't care if you want to get tattooed.

[655] If you want to get tattooed, get tattooed.

[656] If you want to be like fucking Takeshi 6 -9, that dip shit and cover your face for flowers, I don't care.

[657] You do what you want to do.

[658] And let's be honest, 20 years ago, tattoos, that was like, oh, you're a bad boy or like you're some kind of bad person right you're like some crazy sailor or something yeah but some some people will look at other people's choices that don't affect them at all and decide that somehow or another it's an affront to their values like if two men are in love with each other and they decide to get married somehow or another that affects you I don't understand how it affects you any more than I understand someone wearing shorts versus pants affects you or someone driving a red car versus a black car it's nonsense it's not your life if if somehow another people being in a man being in love with a man and marrying a man or being with a man and living and you know having a relationship if somehow another that like killed all the trees you know what I'm saying and like cause gas prices to spike then you have a case yeah and fucking all of a sudden there was something wrong but that's not the case no so what What the fuck do you care?

[659] So as a person who believes in liberty, I feel like you hear all these Republicans that talk about liberally, you know, I believe in liberty and I believe in that.

[660] Well, that's liberty, motherfucker.

[661] Letting someone do what they want to do, that's liberty.

[662] It's not like gay is a, it's this idea that somehow or another it's not a real thing.

[663] Two things on God and religion.

[664] I think religion is looking really bad right now.

[665] You know, if you believe, that's great.

[666] But it's looking really bad because you're contradicting yourself all over the place.

[667] Let me stop you right there.

[668] This is the same as you saying white people.

[669] When you say religion is looking really bad, that's the same as saying white people look really bad.

[670] It's a giant generalization.

[671] You're true.

[672] Very true.

[673] And I take that back.

[674] Some religious people are looking very bad right now.

[675] But do you know why?

[676] Because they're scared.

[677] But how can you look?

[678] How are they looking bad?

[679] In what way?

[680] Well, I'm saying, for instance, God, I hate to make this political, because I'm not that dude.

[681] I stay away from him.

[682] Too late.

[683] But Trump, for instance.

[684] Okay.

[685] Let's look at his past.

[686] Let's look at, there's proof of him lying pretty much every day.

[687] So for religious groups to support this man, you're contradicting your whole.

[688] Yeah, I think that falls into what we were talking about earlier, this political ideology that, like, He is with us.

[689] You know, he is against abortion.

[690] He is against certain things.

[691] He's actually pro -gay.

[692] You know, Donald Trump is, one of the weird things about Trump is before he ran for president, he was universally liked.

[693] You know, it was.

[694] Oh, rappers used to talk about them in their songs all the time.

[695] Well, he was always on talk shows and, you know, he would go on Letterman and shit.

[696] And he would even go on those talk shows and, like, talk shit about Rosie O'Donnell and people thought it was funny.

[697] And now it's horrendous.

[698] It's like the same things that he has always done.

[699] Now, when you're in a position of being the president, you're supposed to be a different person.

[700] But you don't feel there's a contradiction with churches right now?

[701] Oh, well, certainly with people that are, look, there's a lot of...

[702] Some churches, excuse me, let me rephrase that, some people at some churches.

[703] There's a lot of people that will support values that are contrary to what they're supposedly believe in if that aids them politically, if it helps them.

[704] Look, there's a lot of churches that make a lot of money.

[705] And then they don't pay taxes.

[706] That, to me, is one of the most offensive things about religion.

[707] The idea that Joel Olstein should have a giant arena and fly around on private jets and live in a castle, live in the mansions or that, what's that other guy?

[708] The fucking, the COVID be gone.

[709] What's that guy's name again?

[710] Kenneth Copeland.

[711] That motherfucker.

[712] That guy has got, you know, he bought Tyler Perry's private jet and shit.

[713] He's a baller, right?

[714] He's a baller for God.

[715] The idea that that guy doesn't pay taxes is offensive.

[716] And the idea that he really acts for God, like there should be not just an investigation, but there should be, we should have a trial.

[717] We should have a trial.

[718] We should figure out, okay, is this a violation of the whole idea behind if I don't agree with it at all, period.

[719] I don't think that churches should be able to be exempt from taxes.

[720] If they get services like we do, if they make exorbitant, amounts of money, and we know they do, they should have to pay taxes, for sure.

[721] I agree with you 100%.

[722] But there's real clear evidence that they don't even act in accordance to their own belief system.

[723] There's real clear evidence that they don't even, they're not even people that are really acting like a Christian.

[724] So they're not even acting in their own religious ideology, and yet they still don't have to pay taxes.

[725] I agree with you 100%.

[726] And now I was watching TV, and they can get alone or get this taxis.

[727] exempt where they can get money from the government.

[728] Because people aren't coming to the church, so they're not getting all that free money.

[729] But even though, even though they're not paying taxes anyway.

[730] Like my wife was like, we were watching TV.

[731] She goes, that's so horrible.

[732] A lot of churches are going out of business because my wife is very religious.

[733] And I go, why don't they use all the money they didn't pay on taxes to stay aflo?

[734] Because they bought mansions and private chats.

[735] That's what I'm saying.

[736] They don't have any money left over, bro.

[737] Bro?

[738] They're working for Jesus.

[739] They're working for Jesus.

[740] Here's what's interesting to be is my wife, when I made it, everybody reached out and they go, oh, God had your back.

[741] And the first thing I thought was, so you're saying God didn't have everybody, all 80 ,000 people's back?

[742] Like, that's messed up.

[743] That is messed up.

[744] That's messed up.

[745] Look, I'm a religious person, but I'm a religious person that ask questions.

[746] So why you're a religious person, if you're asking questions?

[747] How far do you take it?

[748] You should be able to ask questions.

[749] Okay, how far do you take it?

[750] You're Christian?

[751] I believe in God.

[752] I don't know Christian.

[753] Like, I go to a non -denomination church.

[754] It's just.

[755] Oh, with them hippie churches.

[756] No, it's not hippie.

[757] Oh, I get it.

[758] No, no, no, no. And it's in Burbank.

[759] It's called South Hills.

[760] What's up?

[761] Oh, Burbank.

[762] Of course it's hippie.

[763] It's in Burbank.

[764] But I go to a church where, look, they don't believe in hate and all that.

[765] But it's a thing where I, certain people say certain things.

[766] And when I got all these messages, God had your back.

[767] God had your back.

[768] And I'm thinking about the dude I saw rolled out.

[769] Why didn't God have their back?

[770] He jerked off too much.

[771] Did he really?

[772] That's what I heard.

[773] I heard he jerked off thinking about guys, too.

[774] Oh, God's like, fuck you.

[775] You're so wrong.

[776] I have no comment on that one.

[777] But it's true.

[778] It's like why would God, I mean, why does God let babies die?

[779] Why did God let that little kid get stabbed?

[780] The little Asian baby, a two -year -old kid gets stabbed.

[781] Here's the question that nobody can answer for me is that if God gets all the applause for something great happening, she could all the blame for something bad happening.

[782] Because obviously, from what I'm told, look, I'm not a scholar on the Bible, but.

[783] If something great happens, we all praise him.

[784] But we never tend to not praise him or say, we never tend to criticize him when a whole plane blows up.

[785] No. Or, you know, and that's the only problem with the religion I have.

[786] When you say you believe in God, where, what does that mean to you when you're saying that?

[787] When you say that, do you say that because it makes you feel better?

[788] I feel, this is what I feel is I feel every, every, um, type of tribe before us the ones that had religion or some type of thing they believed in they survived the ones that didn't they cannibalize each other i think what religion does is it keeps people float and makes them feel like something betters on the other side and i think it kind of it's the rule of law it kind of keeps people on the right track if nobody had religion i feel we would cannibalize each other just from the past we learned from the past it's the same thing like tribes that didn't have anything to believe in, they ate each other up.

[789] Well, I feel like we live in a completely different world because the interconnectedness that we experienced today didn't exist before.

[790] So today we have access to information and to the vast body of work that people have written about philosophy and ethics and morals.

[791] and I think we can understand why it's good to be a good person without having to invoke a higher power or some sort of divine spiritual entity that's watching over everything.

[792] Before that wasn't the case.

[793] Before when we were establishing civilization and we were moving from primitive groups that live in tribes, which we all came from.

[794] Look, the one thing that we have to take into consideration is that we are here because some people, did some really violent shit and they made it through because some other people were trying to do some violent shit to them.

[795] That is why we made it here.

[796] We made it here to this day in 2020 because our ancestors were better at violence than the others.

[797] That's really the truth.

[798] I mean, there's no getting around it.

[799] We are a warlike race of beings that have consistently throughout history, conquered each other and done awful, terrible things to each other, and took over land and took over resources and took over cities and took over women.

[800] I mean, this is what people did that got them to this point.

[801] And whatever we needed to get people to act in a more moral or ethical way, whether it's a higher power or whatever it is, to get people from just stopping, just raping and pillaging their way across the world.

[802] without any repercussions whatsoever.

[803] Whatever that is, I'm all for it.

[804] And it was religion.

[805] And you could argue, and I think many people probably successfully have, I'm not really aware of it, but I would imagine I'm not the first person to bring this up, that religion is in many ways sort of a natural creation of the human mind and the human psyche to try to move us past our primitive, tribal monkey tendencies and move us towards some more cooperative way of existing.

[806] Yeah, I think what religion gives order, some type of order, and a lot of people don't want to believe it's over when it's over.

[807] Well, you know what order exists when you don't have religion?

[808] You have the order of might, and that's what you have in China, okay?

[809] In China, you have a religion, and the religion is the state.

[810] I mean, China, people have religion over there, but the reality is, What's running China is a dictatorship.

[811] It's a military dictatorship.

[812] And the king is the ruler.

[813] This is what they look towards.

[814] And the state is the ruler and the law of the state.

[815] I mean, they do horrible shit to their people over there.

[816] And they do this horrible shit openly in front of everyone.

[817] And they still run a billion people.

[818] Yeah.

[819] I mean, that's just my take on religion.

[820] But I also know the other side.

[821] Because anytime I support something, also look at both sides I'm not just blindly I know religion has caused more wars than anything as well I think people have caused more wars I think they use religion as a nice excuse okay you're right people cause wars but they're using religion to cause those wars well they're using religion to get they have in the past use religion to get people to do horrible things and you know this is the argument against fundamentalism you know that it exists I mean, it existed in Christianity in the past, the Inquisition, you can go throughout the history of some horrific things that were done in the name of Christianity, some of the most horrific things ever.

[822] But really, it's people doing these things.

[823] And if they decide that their religion is enforcing this behavior, then they can justify these things.

[824] And you see this, I mean, it's what you get with cults when, okay, forget about religion.

[825] I mean, we can not, whether or not a religion is a cult is, you know, I had a bit about it where, you know, a cult is created by one guy and that guy knows it's bullshit in a religion, that guy's dead.

[826] Yeah.

[827] It's like, that's the difference.

[828] Yeah.

[829] So like, like the, remember the people, the Heaven's Gate cult, they all wore purple Nikes and they cut their balls off and they were.

[830] waiting for and they killed themselves when the uh the asteroid was coming the the whatever the comet was coming that is that that was a way where someone used something this crazy ideology and got people to do ridiculous shit and you could say Jonestown was another example of that that was another cult and it was a where this guy figured out a way to talk these people into poisoning their brothers and sisters and then gunning down federal agents and killing people.

[831] And they did it all because he had them convinced that this belief system that he was espousing was accurate and correct.

[832] What I don't understand, because like I said, I'm religious, but I ask a lot of questions and I don't believe the bullshit, a lot of the bullshit, you know.

[833] Well, what makes you religion then, religious then?

[834] I think I just want to believe there's something better and hopefully there's something guiding all of us to a better place after.

[835] I want to believe that.

[836] I want to believe that.

[837] I want to believe that, you know, if I were to die in that hospital bed, there's something or something, I mean, something or someone looking over my family.

[838] You know, I just want to believe in good.

[839] Look, I'm all about positivity.

[840] I'm all about love.

[841] So it's the thing where why not believe in it?

[842] It's not going to hurt me believing in it.

[843] And if it does happen at the end, great.

[844] If you go to a different place, great.

[845] Now, I will ask questions along the way.

[846] I will not blindly follow a church or religion.

[847] You know, I do investigations.

[848] I really look at the people that's involved with that church.

[849] What I don't understand is the people that blindly fall into these cults or churches that you just talked about.

[850] Like, I don't understand how your mind gets to a place where it's like, no matter what they say, I'm down for it.

[851] Well, other people would say people that are more skeptical than yourself or not interested in religion at all would say, well, we take it one step further.

[852] Like, why would you believe that?

[853] Like, why would you believe that there's some sort of a superpower that you've never seen any evidence of?

[854] some sort of a mythical, mystical power that's looking out for everybody.

[855] Like, why would you think that when there's no evidence of that?

[856] The evidence that we do have was evidence that people in community and in friendship and love, that there's a great benefit to that and that we feel it.

[857] We experience it.

[858] Like, when, like I saw you today, give you a big hug.

[859] Like, there's love.

[860] Absolutely.

[861] That's important for us.

[862] It means, that's real.

[863] That means something.

[864] But it also means something because I want you to know that if you need me, I'm there.

[865] I want you to know, this is what friendship is.

[866] That's real, you know, but the reality is, is there a God watching?

[867] A doctor got killed by wild dogs yesterday in Georgia.

[868] Did you hear about that story?

[869] No. Yeah, there's packs of wild dogs.

[870] Running through Georgia right now?

[871] It's always been an issue when people let dogs loose and dogs come feral and they don't have food.

[872] They stopped being pets, and they revert towards more wolf -like behavior.

[873] I think it was Georgia.

[874] I read it this morning.

[875] Can you find that?

[876] I'll send it to you if you know.

[877] I certainly have it.

[878] I have a seat.

[879] The only problem I'm seeing it.

[880] The doctor was a doctor in Connecticut, I guess.

[881] Was it?

[882] Well, it says middle Georgia doctor found dead.

[883] And then former CT doctor, I'm sorry.

[884] So it's not Connecticut.

[885] Middle Georgia, yeah.

[886] Georgia doctor killed by a pack of wild dogs.

[887] You know, I saw CT and thought.

[888] Okay, it was in, yeah.

[889] Yeah.

[890] So this lady, it was a lady.

[891] It's not the first time.

[892] I was confusing this.

[893] There was a man who was killed by wild dogs in Georgia a couple of years ago.

[894] Dr. Nancy Shaw, who was a doctor in Connecticut.

[895] And 3 a .m. Thursday, they found her body.

[896] Holy shit.

[897] Yeah.

[898] she was on the wrong side of the road and fuck the engine was running the door was open they got out of the patrol car to investigate found a female that was deceased in the ditch the autopsy confirmed that she died after being attacked by animals police confirmed to the station which gave the further details police are trying to find the roaming beasts That's interesting that they phrased it that way, but that's the New York Post.

[899] So roaming beasts?

[900] Dogs.

[901] Well, packs of dogs.

[902] You know, that is, when you just let dogs loose and they got to, if you ever had a feral animal?

[903] I had a feral cat once.

[904] And a friend of mine and her boyfriend were living in this apartment complex.

[905] And there was like this thing where these cats got underneath the building and they had kittens.

[906] And so she rescued the kittens.

[907] She goes, do you want one of these kittens?

[908] because she knew I had cats.

[909] I was like, oh, my God.

[910] Let me see.

[911] So I went to her house.

[912] These little hissing little fucking balls of fur.

[913] I'm like, okay.

[914] I'm just laughing at the idea of you having a lot of cats.

[915] Yeah.

[916] That's funny to me. I had three cats.

[917] I have two now.

[918] But I had three at one point in time.

[919] So I take this cat in and it was crazy, man. It was a little baby cat.

[920] But it was like wild.

[921] I mean, fucking wild.

[922] Like, it thought I was definitely going to kill it and eat it.

[923] And then I would pick the cat up and it would start purring like immediately like loud like so happy and then I'd put it down to a hiss at me again this poor thing was wild and that cat was wild to the day it died I was the only one you kept you kept him for years yeah wow my dog killed him yeah he got he talked some shit to my pit bull my dog was like oh really excuse me check this out yeah because he would he would hiss at the dog and I guess you fucked with the dog one time and the dog's like, why is this goddamn thing in the house?

[924] And he kept pissing in the house.

[925] It's like, he would piss in the house.

[926] He would, like, especially he was mad at the dog.

[927] He was, like, pissed near where the dog slept.

[928] One day that I wasn't home, the dog just took it into his own hands.

[929] Or did you find a cat?

[930] Oh, no, no, no. I was home, and he killed two cats of that dog.

[931] Oh, my God.

[932] They were both cunty cats that got shitty with him.

[933] Pit bulls.

[934] It was in my 20s.

[935] I was a different man. But this kid.

[936] A cat, when I had him, I was the only one that could pet him.

[937] It was the only one that could touch him.

[938] I could go up to him.

[939] I could go, what's up, bro?

[940] And I got to give him a little pet, and then I could pick him up.

[941] He would purr.

[942] But I was the only one.

[943] But I was the only one.

[944] But nobody else, huh?

[945] Anyone else you saw, he was like, this motherfucker's going to eat me, and he just ran away from him.

[946] Yeah, it was weird.

[947] Man. But anyway, but my point is, I had this other cat that's a rag doll.

[948] Like, I have two rag dolls now.

[949] They're like fluff balls, man. Like, you pick them up, they just go limp.

[950] They're domesticated cats.

[951] Like, I have a domesticated dog.

[952] I have a golden retriever.

[953] You haven't met him yet.

[954] No. Sometimes I bring him here.

[955] I see the walks.

[956] He's the best.

[957] He's the sweetest.

[958] I love him to death.

[959] Like, I wake up in the morning.

[960] I made a video of it because it's so ridiculous, like, how my morning starts.

[961] Like, he waits for me outside the door in my room.

[962] I open the door, and I go, bro!

[963] I go, what's up?

[964] And he just, like, he runs around in circles.

[965] He always grabs a toy.

[966] I always just bring a toy over to me. And then I'm petting him.

[967] And he's always like, he's moaning in ecstasy, wagging his tail, runs around in circles.

[968] He's domesticated.

[969] He's just a love bug.

[970] And he's like this with everybody.

[971] If you come over my house, that's what he's going to do to you.

[972] He's going to go, oh, hello.

[973] He runs around circles around you, wants you to touch him.

[974] He'll drop to his belly.

[975] He dropped to his back, wants he to rub his belly.

[976] But that's because of you too, though.

[977] You domesticated him like that.

[978] Yes, for sure.

[979] But he's also a golden retriever.

[980] Yeah, they're super nice.

[981] There's the nicest dogs ever.

[982] But he's domesticated, okay?

[983] Wild cats are so different than domesticated cats.

[984] It's like a different thing, man. They're so different.

[985] Mike, he would hiss at anybody that come near him.

[986] Anybody, you come near him, like, I had to bring him to the veterinarian to get him fixed.

[987] When he got to a certain point he was spraying in the house.

[988] I'm like, this motherfucker, because that's what happens to male cat.

[989] Yeah, so the way I got him, I had to lock me and him in the bathroom together, and then I had a throw, I forget it was like a towel or a blanket or a bathrobe.

[990] I forget what I threw on him, but I threw, because this is - It's like a kidnaping, like, for real.

[991] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[992] And this is 96, somewhere around then, okay?

[993] So I throw this fucking blanket on this cat, and then I have to grab him and rest them, and then I stuff him in a hamper.

[994] and then I take him with a fucking duct -taped hamper to Dr. Craig, my, my veterinarian.

[995] Okay, why didn't you just get rid of a cat?

[996] I love him, because I loved him, and I felt like he was like me in a lot of ways, that, you know, he just didn't have anybody that looked out for him.

[997] Like, he was abandoned.

[998] He felt, I felt like, in a lot of ways, like, look, I don't know my dad.

[999] And because of that, I have this weird thing about taking care of things.

[1000] taking care of people.

[1001] I felt like I was a band.

[1002] I haven't spoken to my dad since I was seven years old.

[1003] And I knew him before that.

[1004] So like all my life, I've sort of had this thing like, hey, that can happen.

[1005] Well, you could be abandoned.

[1006] And it's one of the reasons why I've always had this very liberal and charitable outlook on things, even though like a lot of people who conserve, they'll confuse me with being conservative.

[1007] But I'm not very concerned.

[1008] with people because I know that things can go wrong with people I also know that some people are lazy fucks and they need to go to work they need to get their ass in gear and stop making fucking excuses but these are like little mental traps that people have fallen into and oftentimes they just don't have the right tools they don't have the right the right information to sort of make these corrections and adjustments so I'm a hard ass in some ways like that like some people need to just get their fucking shit together but I also I'm charitable in a way like I don't think they understand how to get their shit together.

[1009] When you see someone who's obese and they're smoking cigarettes, a lot of that is education and information and just the way their body has, the way their life has gone, the things that have happened to them outside of their control before they even became a fully formed adult, just like this poor cat.

[1010] Yeah.

[1011] This poor cat didn't ask to be shit out under a fucking apartment building and then have, you know, this wild life where it's got to eat rats and shit and try to take care of itself.

[1012] Well, I also think that even people like me, I'll hear inspiring people, and it kind of kickstarts you, it kicks you in the ass and say, hey, you need to get it going.

[1013] Like, I told you about David Goggins last time I was here.

[1014] I read his book and, you know, posted shit on my mirror, you know, and trying to make strides to.

[1015] But I think, I think we all need that.

[1016] It's not just lazy people, even people that are out there hustling.

[1017] Oh, yes.

[1018] Sometimes you need that.

[1019] Oh, I need it.

[1020] I need it all the time.

[1021] Yeah, I'm very fortunate to know people like David.

[1022] or my friend Jocko, Jocko Willink, who's very similar as well, like he's got a video that he put up today.

[1023] Go to Jocko's Instagram, and he puts these up all the time.

[1024] He gets up at 4 .30 in the morning every day.

[1025] It seems that's the time.

[1026] He takes a picture of his watch.

[1027] For him, it's the time.

[1028] David Hockens, too, 4 .30.

[1029] Does he get up at 4 .30?

[1030] 4 .30 every morning.

[1031] Stretches for two hours, and then he hits his run.

[1032] He's an animal.

[1033] But play this.

[1034] This is Jocko.

[1035] It's so easy.

[1036] So easy to put things off.

[1037] So easy to say you're going to do it tomorrow.

[1038] Well, I want you to reprogram your brain and tell yourself that tomorrow is not a viable option.

[1039] Tomorrow doesn't work.

[1040] You do it today.

[1041] You get it done today.

[1042] That's what you do.

[1043] Have a good Monday, y 'all.

[1044] Go get some out.

[1045] That's all you need.

[1046] He needs people like that in the world.

[1047] I'm going to follow this dude.

[1048] You should follow that dude.

[1049] Well, who is he?

[1050] That's Jock O 'Willink.

[1051] He's a former Navy SEAL.

[1052] who is one of the most inspirational people that I've ever met my life.

[1053] And now he writes books on leadership and Brazilian Jiu -Jitsu Black Belt.

[1054] And, you know, every morning, he's fucking gets up at 4 .30 in the morning, trains, takes a photo of his watch, takes an aftermath photo of puddles of sweat on the ground and the tools he used, and then takes pictures of the sunrise and the sunset, the beach that he earned his right to go look at that.

[1055] Wow.

[1056] Yeah, I wake up at 432 every morning.

[1057] Do you?

[1058] Yeah, I do.

[1059] But mine would have been like, check out me drinking this macho latte.

[1060] Get it, y 'all.

[1061] Well, it takes every kind of people.

[1062] You know what that song?

[1063] Yeah, there's a song about that.

[1064] Yeah, there's all kinds of people in this world.

[1065] And it's okay.

[1066] It's okay to be a soft person.

[1067] It's okay to be a gentle person.

[1068] You don't have to be this fucking savage like Chaco.

[1069] But it's something about that Navy Seal.

[1070] Yeah.

[1071] They're just wired.

[1072] Well, it's not for everybody.

[1073] No. Most people are going to ring that bell.

[1074] Most people are not going to do it.

[1075] Could you have made it?

[1076] I don't know.

[1077] I would say, I would tell you right now if you asked me, yes.

[1078] But of course I would say that.

[1079] I don't know.

[1080] Unless you've done it, you don't know.

[1081] In my early 20s, I would have loved, now if I could go back, I would have love to try to be a Navy SEAL.

[1082] But I guess if you don't have it, like if you didn't have that desire, but I just think like that's.

[1083] It's challenging yourself.

[1084] Whether or not you can push yourself past the place that most people quit, that's a big part of what it is.

[1085] You know, the big part of anything is being able to push, right?

[1086] When you get discomfort, people just want to back off.

[1087] They want to stop.

[1088] It's a thing that we have.

[1089] There's a natural inclination to seek comfort.

[1090] You have to have the mind to push past that.

[1091] I don't know mentally, you know, if, like, I was.

[1092] working so hard because those two days in the hospital when I said if there was that eject button and then your mind just like no keep pushing keep pushing keep pushing and after three and a half days finally everything started my lungs in the fluid in my lungs started to settle but it's it's amazing what you learn when you come out of a of a situation like that it's it's what you value like I've totally I'm a change person now like from that and I think it's and I hate to be cliche but you appreciate the little things like I never I've always been a good guy a hustler but just opening my eyes in the morning it's a different game now right you have a gift the gift I have a gift I have a gift and a lot of your your fans was like hey it wasn't your time you got great things to to accomplish and I really believe that because I see the death total going up and I go, oh, I'm not, I'm here for a reason.

[1093] And I think when we go through life, you'll hit a downpoint, you know, but you need something to get you back on track and say, yo, you're lucky you're still here.

[1094] You need, like, I've always valued my family.

[1095] I'm a family guy.

[1096] But now it's like, oh, you want to go for a swim?

[1097] Let's go for a swim.

[1098] You to my son, you want to do this, let's do this.

[1099] And I think it kind of lit a fire under my ass where I was, I was, I wasn't coasting.

[1100] I was doing well, but I just appreciate everything, and I appreciate people more.

[1101] You know, because, man, when I was laid up in the hospital, I saw comics and different people drop off shit to my house through the ring cam.

[1102] And I can't tell you how much that meant to me. You know what I mean?

[1103] Like, just people going out of their way to make sure your family is okay.

[1104] And even the text, even the DMs, those little things, like when nothing, tragic has happened in your life.

[1105] I don't think you really appreciate it.

[1106] You're like, okay, that's great.

[1107] You know, but then when something happens to you, and these people don't know you, but they're reaching out, giving you positive vibes, and then people you know really well, giving you those vibes, it means a lot.

[1108] You don't understand how much it meant when I was laying in a hospital bed, fighting for my life after I got over that hump to read all these positive message from your fans, from comedians, from close friends.

[1109] I mean, it really pushes you to live.

[1110] You know?

[1111] Yeah, the power of word is so much to me now.

[1112] Expresses something.

[1113] Yeah, expresses something that you understand how close you came to losing everything.

[1114] Yeah.

[1115] Yeah.

[1116] I think, look, comfort is wonderful, and civilization is wonderful, and love and friendship is all.

[1117] wonderful but I think to really appreciate it you almost have to at least almost have everything taken away or know it can be taken away or know how fortunate you are know how lucky you are I mean look man all throughout human history was impossible to take a fucking shower you know I mean to take a hot shower who the fuck did that like when did that first start was it was a hundred years ago when was it yeah so people have been around for what hundreds of thousands of years in this relatively similar form and then like a hundred years ago someone figured out how to turn that thing hot shower and now this is just the way it's supposed to be yeah dude I went camping with me and Brian Callan we went camp in in Montana we did this hunting show and we uh back in 2012 and it was freezing out fucking cold as shit like nine degrees at night and you're in a sleeping bag and huddled and then finally after like six or seven days whatever it was we got to Billings and there was the end of the trip we had a successful trip and then we got to a hotel I took a shower a hot shower and it was like oh it was a bullshit hotel too like wood panel walls just a skanky fucking weirdo hotel ordinarily if I was a comic like working in that town I was like oh look at this shit hole I'm staying at yeah I'm like well guess I'm roughing it here we go but for me it was like heaven I was in that shower like oh, it was so warm, the water was so good, and to feel that the soap and you get the stink off me because I hadn't washed myself in seven days.

[1118] It's like, ah, you really appreciate it.

[1119] You don't appreciate it until you lose it until it's gone.

[1120] And I think that struggle is something that too many people are missing, you know, and I like to give myself my own struggle.

[1121] You know, it's one of the reasons why I work out so hard because I, when I work out hard, not just because it calms me down and it makes it it does whatever vanquishes whatever demons are inside me through exercise but also i appreciate peace because when i push myself i push myself in a ferocious horrific way where i'm i'm fucking exhausted like when i'm running hills or i'm hitting a bag or whatever i'm doing i'm doing it hard man so that when it's over i mean i'm hands on my knees heaving and then the rest of the day is beautiful because I made my own bullshit instead of like dealing with like fucking hordes of barbarians coming over the hills or you know starving to death or all the real problems that people have dealt with throughout history that have kind of balanced out their perspective I create it myself I think I think today's society is taking away challenges yes you know it's not pushing people because it's fine being fine today right you know there's no like one thing interesting you said to me last podcast we did you go you know yo you really never and you exactly said it you never been through any struggle because i was telling me my life has been pretty good and you go what makes you is you would never take away your struggle when you were younger because it made you who you are today yeah and after going through something like what i went through it's changed me so much that i know that struggle is going to change the rest of my life It's even the mentality of myself has already changed.

[1122] It's like, I'm going to take risk.

[1123] I'm going to, because you never know how long you're going to be here.

[1124] I know that's cliche, but you really never know.

[1125] The key is to keep that mentality.

[1126] Yes.

[1127] The problem is for a lot of people, they slip right back into comfort again.

[1128] They slip right back into the regular life because this close call you had with death, it slips away in your memory.

[1129] It becomes the thing of the past.

[1130] It was four years ago or five.

[1131] years ago.

[1132] And you're like, oh, I'm having a hard time getting motivated.

[1133] Oh, I'm having a hard time getting to the gym.

[1134] Oh, I mean, I really like to get my career in order, but, God, I mean, sometimes I'm depressed.

[1135] Sometimes I just feel so blue.

[1136] I sit around the house.

[1137] Boos.

[1138] You're not supposed to make it.

[1139] No. And no one wants to say that to those people, but that mentality literally is like if life is this wild rush to the finish line, I'm not sure it is.

[1140] But if it was, those people are not supposed to make it.

[1141] They're not supposed to cross the tape.

[1142] They're supposed to sit back at mile three and take a nap.

[1143] And it's also supposed to be a lesson to you, the person who keeps going, to see these lazy bitches that they ruin their life and wind up falling apart and they keep exhibiting these self -destructive behavior.

[1144] Don't do that.

[1145] You don't have to do that.

[1146] You see them do it?

[1147] Learn from them.

[1148] Learn from the people that cry for no reason.

[1149] Learn from the people that fall apart.

[1150] Learn for the people that don't know how to pick themselves up and keep going.

[1151] But you can't, you can't say that out loud today.

[1152] You get attacked.

[1153] Well, you can't, but that's what, you can too.

[1154] I know.

[1155] More people need to say it.

[1156] But you're so right.

[1157] Like, the people, who's attacking?

[1158] Who's attacking?

[1159] Who's people?

[1160] The people in the sidelines.

[1161] The people who are you, Michael, you, you don't even know Michael yo.

[1162] I get depressed.

[1163] Look, I think some people have real problems.

[1164] They have real issues, some people.

[1165] Some people.

[1166] But some people are lazy fucks and use it as an excuse a lot of people I think there's way more of those because there's a natural inclination to do that and to deny that natural inclination to do that is to exhibit a ridiculous lack of understanding about human nature because that's what people do we know that this is it you'd be you it's either willful ignorance or you're purposely lying so that you fit in the group the same way we were talking about earlier about ideologies that people slip into because it gives you comfort.

[1167] This is like when people like there was a video recently where a article recently where Adele lost a lot of weight and all these.

[1168] Why did people celebrate that?

[1169] I was so pissed off about that.

[1170] You see the people that celebrate it?

[1171] Yeah.

[1172] No, people that celebrated her weight loss.

[1173] It's like these are the same people are like you look good no matter what size you are.

[1174] I'm like so That's an interesting perspective.

[1175] That's not what I was saying No, but what I'm saying is, to me, the celebrity audience that celebrated her losing the weight was saying you, saying people that say you should feel great no matter what size you are.

[1176] I think it's sent out the wrong message.

[1177] Well, I think it's great to lose weight because when you lose weight, you get healthy.

[1178] But there was a lot of people that were saying that we shouldn't do that because one thing that I read that was hilarious was saying that it's actually fatphobic to celebrate her weight loss because we're not.

[1179] We don't know what she's going through.

[1180] She might actually be going through a hard time right now because she just got divorced.

[1181] Maybe that's why she's losing weight because she's not doing well and she's ill. Or she works out and doesn't eat cake.

[1182] Like my whole thing is if you're going to, I just hate who, I hate people.

[1183] And this is a lot of celebrities and this is a lot of, it's like no matter what size you are, we love you.

[1184] Right.

[1185] And then a girl lose weight.

[1186] And then you really see who they are.

[1187] Oh, you look great now.

[1188] We love you.

[1189] But hold on.

[1190] I understand no matter what size you are, I do love you.

[1191] Like, I have friends that are fat, and I love them, you know?

[1192] And I've talked to some of them and tried to get them to lose weight, but they don't want to lose weight.

[1193] But if they did lose weight, I'd be like, dude, you look great.

[1194] Congratulations.

[1195] It's healthier.

[1196] Yes.

[1197] But I still love them, no matter what size are.

[1198] I understand that, but I hate someone because they're fat.

[1199] But to me, it's a wrong message.

[1200] Like, if you're going to say you love me no matter what size you are, like, and I'm talking, this is more celebrity -driven.

[1201] You got to stop listening to celebrities, bro.

[1202] No, it's just, no, this is more celebrity.

[1203] Katie Perry, how to live your life.

[1204] You're going to run around in circles like a fucking dog chasing their tail.

[1205] No, I'm not that dude.

[1206] I'm not that dude.

[1207] What I'm saying is, you don't put out this message that body image doesn't really matter.

[1208] And then when a girl loses weight, you're like, oh, it really does matter.

[1209] Like, you're just contradicting yourself.

[1210] Like me, I don't care if Adele's big or small, you know?

[1211] I do.

[1212] I wanted to look hot.

[1213] It looks good.

[1214] She looks good now.

[1215] I like it.

[1216] As long as she can sing, that's all I care about.

[1217] Well, I do care about that, but I care when anybody loses weight because it gives people inspiration.

[1218] The same way that Jocko video, you know, that gives people inspiration, the same way Gagons, that gives people inspiration.

[1219] Those people are important, and Adele's important.

[1220] Doing that, man, how many women that were overweight looked at her and were like, I'm going to fucking get my shit together now.

[1221] What's that other girl, Rebel?

[1222] Rebel Wilson, when she did that movie.

[1223] She lost a ton of weight.

[1224] Oh, yeah.

[1225] That girl looks really good now.

[1226] She's lost a ton of weight.

[1227] And then same thing.

[1228] The lazy fatsoes, they want to stay lazy fatos, they get mad.

[1229] Like, you're just defining beauty standards, and she was amazing before.

[1230] And, you know, it's not good to be skinny.

[1231] And there's a bunch of people out there that will come up with any fucking reason why they can just eat cake.

[1232] And it's not real.

[1233] Look, my thing is, as long as you're healthy.

[1234] Some people are healthier.

[1235] but like my thing is if you go to a doctor and you're too big and they say hey you're not healthy right now you know you need to change that that's terrible for you but if you're a little bigger and you're healthy because I know some big people that are healthy I bet you don't I do I bet you don't I bet you know big people that would be healthy if they lost weight but they're not healthy if they're fat I mean obesity is one of the worst things I mean they're just big people okay like like football players yes okay well that's different yeah that's what I'm talking about well they mean they look a little better if they had six -packed that's not right but they're okay you know that's what I meant I don't mean obese yeah okay I thought you're talking about like no I'm talking about bigger people like rebel before she lost all the weight she was obese yeah yeah I'm just saying it's a thing where Ralphie Mae yeah I mean I was I know so many people went to Ralphie May it was like dude you got to lose weight oh I was one of them you have to man yeah but did he had an issue there was a there was whatever the wiring of his mind it didn't it didn't it wasn't gonna work he was gonna eat and he was gonna keep eating and whatever it was I don't know what the demon was but whatever his demon was he and I don't maybe maybe he could have shifted and changed and people have but it didn't happen while he was alive.

[1236] I tell you, one of the nicest men ever.

[1237] He was a great guy.

[1238] He was a great guy.

[1239] I went to Nashville with Saratiana, and he took us.

[1240] And of course, we were like, oh, let's just hang out.

[1241] He goes, no, we're going to go to his breakfast place.

[1242] So he takes us to the best biscuit place in Nashville, you know, in Tennessee.

[1243] But it was just him, like hearing about me and coming out and hanging out, just as a comic.

[1244] He was a sweetheart.

[1245] Yeah, he was a sweetheart of a guy.

[1246] It was a sad loss that knowing.

[1247] one was surprised by yes that's the problem you know it's like if you have a friend and that friend is an alcoholic and they die a liver cancer you got to go you know I love them it's great guy but no one's shocked that that was the result and that's the same thing with obesity it's like no one's shocked when you you do that to your body and then you wind up dying it's not it's not shocking no sad it comes with it I just think I know what you're saying about the celebrity thing is but I really think that it's it's along the lines what we're talking about before with religion and political ideologies.

[1248] People that are celebrities feel like they're putting out this thing that helps their image.

[1249] And the thing is you can't say anything even remotely controversial.

[1250] If they do, people come down on you.

[1251] And if you're going to say something controversial, it should be controversial that leans towards the side of being liberal and being, you open -minded and being compassionate and I don't think that being dishonest about the real negative health consequences of being fat is positive I think it's negative I think ultimately if you can look fat shaming is a real thing right people get mad when people fat shame but let me tell you something when someone fat shames you and you feel bad you lose weight if you want to act on that a lot of people do it's a bad feeling that bad feeling makes you feel like shit and you go out and you do something about it the reason why they make you feel like shit is because it works or you got to take the other side of the corner that some people feel worse and then do awful things to themselves well those people need to get their shit together but look when people make you feel bad and then you make a correction look if someone said to me right now hey you're fat i'd be like okay that doesn't work yeah you can say whatever you want it's not going to get in there but if i was a little fat and i have been in the past I've had a little bit of a gut before, and someone says you're fat, like, ooh, okay, I've got to lose weight.

[1252] Yeah, but it pushes, but it only pushes.

[1253] For years, if I kept going for years, then I would be obese.

[1254] But that's what it is.

[1255] You get on a path.

[1256] But it only pushes people that want to be pushed.

[1257] You see what I mean?

[1258] Sort of.

[1259] It's not going to work on people that it goes back to the lazy thing.

[1260] Yeah.

[1261] It doesn't work on lazy people.

[1262] Well, there's a lot of things.

[1263] Look, neither there's education.

[1264] Neither does anything.

[1265] I mean, lazy people.

[1266] The inclination towards laziness, it's a part of the spectrum of human behavior.

[1267] And it's a bad, I mean, it's a bad thing.

[1268] It doesn't do anybody any good.

[1269] It's so unattractive.

[1270] Like, have you ever had a girlfriend that was lazy?

[1271] Yes.

[1272] Bro.

[1273] See, look how you said that.

[1274] Look how you said it.

[1275] Oh, my God.

[1276] It's so unattractive.

[1277] It is.

[1278] It's unattractive to girls.

[1279] It's unattractive to guys.

[1280] Having a significant other that's lazy is offensive.

[1281] I tell you what, if Twitter and Instagram, people going after people, if there was work involved with doing that, if you actually actually had to go through steps and work to do that, you would have no comments.

[1282] Right.

[1283] Like, if people actually had to work to put a comment up, oh, it would decrease by 90%.

[1284] Well, a lot of what comments are is lazy.

[1285] It's people on their couch being lazy going, oh, let me comment about this person.

[1286] Fuck him or fuck her.

[1287] but people in your life that are lazy it's very unattractive and it makes you angry if you're not lazy and someone's lazy and they're dragging you down like if you're in business with someone and that person's lazy it's horrendous get away it's offensive yeah and if you're all to like if you have a business together and you know this is your partner and your partner is fucking off and not doing the stuff they're supposed to do when you tell them hey we got to take care of x y and z and like I don't want to do that.

[1288] Like, oh, my God.

[1289] I'm in business with this fucking lazy fuck.

[1290] That's a terrible feeling.

[1291] But if you're in business with someone and they're like, I'm on it.

[1292] Let's get this.

[1293] Let's do that.

[1294] Hey, maybe we can do that too.

[1295] Fuck, yeah.

[1296] Let's push each other.

[1297] All right, let's go.

[1298] Let's get it together.

[1299] High five.

[1300] Woo!

[1301] And then, like, your feet off each other.

[1302] People don't want that, though.

[1303] A lot of people don't want that.

[1304] Lazy people don't want.

[1305] Lazy people don't want it.

[1306] What's amazing to me, when my wife was pregnant, we were, you know, a second time with our girl, that's five months now.

[1307] But I was reading stories about mothers being shamed for losing weight so fast.

[1308] I've heard that.

[1309] Because other fatos, get mad.

[1310] If you're not big, now you're shaming people for being skinny.

[1311] Like literally, people will get in shape after two months, three months after working out.

[1312] You know, and they're like, well, you're not spending any time with your kids since you're in shape now.

[1313] You've been working out showing all these videos.

[1314] It's like, that's an hour a day.

[1315] Yeah.

[1316] Your kid sleeps 18 hours a day when they're first born.

[1317] You know, you're taking an hour for yourself, and you're getting, women get shame for losing, I'm like, now this is reading it.

[1318] We're just shaming people for no reasons.

[1319] Well, it's just a bunch of people talking, and the problem is it used to be, you had to be around those people to hear it.

[1320] Yeah.

[1321] Now, those dumb fucks, they put it on Facebook, and the whole world can read it.

[1322] And then other fat fucks chime in, too.

[1323] Yeah, I agree.

[1324] There's nothing wrong with it.

[1325] And if their husband's complaining, she gets rid of them, just stuff in their fat face with cake while they're writing it, while they're typing it.

[1326] I don't understand.

[1327] It's fun to be mean towards lazy people, too.

[1328] When you say things like that, it's fun.

[1329] Like right there, I enjoyed that.

[1330] Yeah, lazy people know they're lazy too.

[1331] Yeah.

[1332] And that's what's great about it.

[1333] Like when you're coming up with excuses for why they're, well, why you're wrong.

[1334] Guess what?

[1335] This whole segment right now about the lazy.

[1336] Yes.

[1337] People are really mad that are lazy.

[1338] Only lazy people.

[1339] Jaco approves this.

[1340] Oh, David Gagas is like, that's what I'm talking about.

[1341] Camhaines approves.

[1342] All those people approve.

[1343] Look, my friend Camhane's, that fucking dude works a full -time job.

[1344] He works for the Department of Water and Power in Oregon.

[1345] He gets up every morning.

[1346] He doesn't have a day where he doesn't run 16 miles.

[1347] Every day, he's running 10 miles.

[1348] Oftentimes we run a marathon a day.

[1349] He runs ultra -marathons.

[1350] He runs these fucking 240 -mile races.

[1351] They take three days.

[1352] works a full -time job also one of the best bow hunters in the world and every day you go to his instagram every day it's him lifting weights it's him running it's him talking it's him saying have a great day everybody he's got a different approach to jaco he's not screaming you know failure's not an option he's got a different approach but that motherfucker gets after it every single day so if you ever feel like like oh you know i think i do too much go to cam haines go to his instagram page Cameron r haines on Instagram and you'll go, oh, I don't fucking do anything.

[1353] I don't do shit.

[1354] This guy's got a full -time job and a family.

[1355] You realize when you think you do a lot, you'll find people to do way more than you, and you're like, oh, I'm fucking lazy compared to that person.

[1356] If you think you do a lot, David Goggins is running.

[1357] Right now.

[1358] Right now.

[1359] Running.

[1360] Screaming.

[1361] Stay hard, motherfucker.

[1362] Screaming while running.

[1363] Stay hard.

[1364] Yeah.

[1365] Yeah, man. I mean, but those kind of people, they'll let you know that there's more on the table.

[1366] You get more out of your life.

[1367] you could squeeze out more.

[1368] And it's not for everybody.

[1369] Like that's not for everybody, but for everybody, doing your best is something that you should strive for.

[1370] For everybody.

[1371] Whatever that best is, I mean, man, if you want to just do yoga three or four days a week or something like that, and that's all you like to do physically, that's great too.

[1372] You don't have to be that guy who runs 100 miles.

[1373] No. You don't have to be that guy that said, like Jocko, four o 'clock at the one, throwing kettlebells around like a savage.

[1374] You don't have to.

[1375] You don't have to.

[1376] But you should do something.

[1377] thing to push yourself and it's it there's a great value in that there's great reward in that and there's no reward in talking shit on moms who lose weight too quickly because they're dedicated and healthy and they work out well and also it's first of all there's a reality to that too with moms it's not fair i i know moms who are like fitness enthusiasts that gained a lot of weight during their pregnancy and they have a really hard time losing it their body just doesn't bounce back like other people's bodies.

[1378] Some women are just savages.

[1379] Like two weeks later, they got a flat stomach.

[1380] What?

[1381] Look at this bitch.

[1382] But it's genetics as well.

[1383] It's genetics.

[1384] So you can't blame a person because they got good genetics and they've been working out.

[1385] Right.

[1386] And you also can't blame someone who has bad genetics either.

[1387] And not losing it.

[1388] But here's the, and I feel bad for women because if they're a little bit too big, they get criticized.

[1389] If they lose weight, now you're too skinny.

[1390] Yeah, but you're only getting the skinny thing.

[1391] You're only getting it from dumb, fat, lazy bitches.

[1392] were they getting mad at you I can't see it coming from dudes I can't see a dude going hey she got too hot too quick fucking whore like no that's not no dudes are doing that the anger is going to come from people that are unlucky genetically and that that is but you can't point to them and be mad at them no there was this one lady though that she took a whole lot of shit because she had a kid and she posted her being pregnant and then she posted what she looked like a couple months later working out and she was saying don't be lazy and then I remember that and people got mad they lost their shit and all she was like this is her thing yeah like you're going to her to look at her page but that's a different thing because she's clearly got a great genetic roll of the dice and she's shitting on those women that don't have that don't be lazy well listen some women are not lazy some women they get pregnant and it takes months and months for them to lose weight and it's hard and it's a struggle and other girls they just bounce back like a rubber band it's crazy it's not fair but life's not fair but some dudes are seven feet tall with giant dicks yeah it's not a goddamn thing you could do about that can you imagine being seven feet tall with no dick oh that'd be horrible that'd be horrible the disappointment in a woman like oh i'm gonna get it tonight it's like like terrible or even a regular dick yeah it's just a regular dick it would look weird oh my god i haven't thought about it that much but that would be weird yeah like if shack had a regular dick but what in the hell is that going on you everything else is enormous besides 40 shoe a hand as big as his table and a regular dick like what just happened that's outrageous yeah but life's not fair genetically it's just not it's not fair intellectually it's not fair genetically it's not fair with the parents you don't you don't get you know there's some people that get extremely fortunate with their parents absolutely yeah I mean my parents are great yeah like still married yeah and like they love me and I love them and we talk all the time but I know a lot of friends that parents are divorced or had only one parent yeah growing up and that's a struggle they they had to deal with and my struggle was different yeah you know Oh, you're right.

[1393] Life is not fair.

[1394] Life is not fair.

[1395] No, it's not fair.

[1396] Some people are born into rich.

[1397] People should be fair.

[1398] People should be nice and people should be fair.

[1399] But circumstances are not fair.

[1400] There's really good people that get hit by cars every day.

[1401] 100%.

[1402] It's wonderful people that get leukemia.

[1403] And this idea that somehow or another that it's not, you know, it's not supposed to happen that way.

[1404] Like there's something wrong.

[1405] Someone fucked up.

[1406] There's a, no, it's just the randomness of life is not fair.

[1407] And also the fact that, look, you don't live.

[1408] that long, man. You're talking to a 52 year old man. I'm 52 years old.

[1409] Even saying that, I'm like, that can't be real.

[1410] Like, it doesn't seem real.

[1411] You ever wonder, like, I got another 25, 30 years?

[1412] No, I get up and I just do it.

[1413] I just get up and do it every day.

[1414] That's what I do.

[1415] I live in the moment, get up and do it every day.

[1416] I live in the moment as much as I can.

[1417] I think my thing is to push me, because I always have goals every day too, is to push me as like, yo, I'm halfway done.

[1418] I got to get it.

[1419] You know, like, that's just my motivation.

[1420] There's a difference between being 50 today and being 50 in the past.

[1421] There's a great picture of one of the Golden Girls that said, it says like 50 in 1985, and then it has a picture of J -Lo swinging on a pole.

[1422] It's like 50 in 2020.

[1423] It's fucking different, man. There's people exercise today, people take care of their bodies today, and they never didn't, right?

[1424] As long as you never went through this period where you slacked off and ate cake and slept all day, if you never went through that period of alcoholism and drug abuse where you wrecked your body, man, you know, you could hold on a lot longer than anybody ever thought you could.

[1425] What's crazy to me is when I was growing up, dads look like dads.

[1426] Yeah, they had dad bots.

[1427] Yeah, but just, yeah, the body, but just physically, they look like a dad where today you go out.

[1428] You couldn't tell who's a dad, who's single.

[1429] like everybody's taking care of themselves.

[1430] Right.

[1431] It's a different world, yeah.

[1432] But it's education.

[1433] It is.

[1434] People understand that now.

[1435] They understand like, hey, you really do need to do something.

[1436] It's not an option whether or not you exercise.

[1437] If you want to be a healthy person, it's a mandatory thing that you need to do.

[1438] When you, speaking about healthy, when you were in Florida, I want to take it back to, when you were in Florida.

[1439] Speaking healthy.

[1440] Yeah.

[1441] Well, yeah, right.

[1442] Florida.

[1443] the most unhealthiest place in the world.

[1444] When you were going back and forth, did you, like, kind of stay away from people in airports or...

[1445] No, I didn't stay away from people.

[1446] I mean, I took pictures with some people.

[1447] I was a little weirded out by it.

[1448] Like, maybe I probably shouldn't be doing this.

[1449] But my take on it was, you know, wash your hands.

[1450] Don't do anything stupid.

[1451] Don't anybody cough on you or anything like that.

[1452] Like, everybody, I was around for the most part, other than the people in the hotel everyone was tested all the people at the UFC were tested all the fighters are tested the workers in the hotel okay everyone was tested and you know in the hotel everybody had masks on although people like I ate at a morton's steakhouse was very nice sit down me and my they had masks on too yeah me and my buddy Eddie bravo were sitting there eating a meal like a grown -up it's amazing it's like the real world again was there anybody in the restaurant There was a couple other people.

[1453] Yeah, there was one older couple, no mask, and some young people at the bar, no mask.

[1454] I tell you, when I first got out, when they first cleared me in my neighborhood, because everybody knew, like, literally I would walk outside and go for a walk.

[1455] Like, they would run inside their house.

[1456] If their kids were outside playing, they would call them in to go inside.

[1457] Like, I was like this guy, I went to my, I'm not going to say the name of the coffee place, but I went to my local coffee place.

[1458] And since I didn't post, I was cleared.

[1459] They, the manager of the store, sent me a nasty, on my Instagram sent me a nasty man. How could you endanger all our workers by coming in and you have corona?

[1460] This is after three weeks I've been cleared.

[1461] And it's almost like a, you're being.

[1462] You'd been tested and everything.

[1463] I've been cleared.

[1464] And it's a thing, I got tested.

[1465] The manager said that?

[1466] The manager reached out to me personally on my Instagram.

[1467] Did you respond to them?

[1468] Yeah, I called their district manager.

[1469] and goes, this is prejudice.

[1470] Like, I've been cleared for three weeks.

[1471] And I have a manager just because I didn't post that I was cleared on Instagram.

[1472] It's also shitty.

[1473] It's very shitty.

[1474] Shitty way to approach someone who almost died.

[1475] Yeah.

[1476] And I was so angry.

[1477] And they were scared I was going to sue.

[1478] And I just said, send you free coffee?

[1479] I didn't ask for shit.

[1480] But they scared you're going to sue.

[1481] Yeah.

[1482] They were scared.

[1483] It was really bad.

[1484] And I was angry.

[1485] But then I saw it, like, on my street.

[1486] like I was a plague like people like literally would run inside alleviated or is that subsided oh no now it's fine now it's fine now now me I'm trying to stay away from people because you don't want to catch you again no I feel good because I took that immunity test and they said I had the long immunity what does that mean so I don't know the term but there's a long immunity and a short immunity it's IG and I it's some and this is the antibodies there's an antibody test you can take at this place called Next Health, where it's not FDA approved, but it shows you like your strand.

[1487] Is it long immunity?

[1488] Is it short immunity?

[1489] And they said I had long immunity because it was so bad.

[1490] It sounds like you went to a fortune teller, bro.

[1491] I don't know.

[1492] Look at your hands.

[1493] The gypsies looking at your hand.

[1494] But it said like usually the people that get it the worst.

[1495] This is your lifeline.

[1496] Oh, my gosh.

[1497] It's long.

[1498] It's long.

[1499] You will live long...

[1500] The people that get at the worst have long immunity.

[1501] Longer immunity.

[1502] But it works just like the flu.

[1503] Like all the mismatch, wear a mask, don't wear a mask.

[1504] To me, it was all bullshit at the beginning.

[1505] It's like, why wouldn't you tell everybody wear a mask?

[1506] I posted something on my Instagram today that was from 60 minutes.

[1507] I guess it was like last month.

[1508] I think it was last month.

[1509] Dr. Fauci from March somewhere.

[1510] Yeah.

[1511] I was saying you don't have to wear a mask.

[1512] Unless you have something.

[1513] Yes.

[1514] The mask is not necessarily going to protect.

[1515] you.

[1516] There's a cool mask that I saw that's advertised though that they set this mask up.

[1517] This mask like seals to your face.

[1518] They set this mask up in this tube and they blew cigarette smoke into the tube and then on the other side of the mask it was clear.

[1519] It's pretty interesting.

[1520] But the whole mask thing is like if you know they knew people were asymptomatic back then.

[1521] So you're saying only the people with problems need to wear a mask.

[1522] But you know people are asymptomatic And you can - Well, they didn't know how many people were asymptomatic.

[1523] But now they realize as many as 78 % of people who catch this are asymptomatic, which is really crazy.

[1524] Even if you know, 3 % is - But they didn't know it back then.

[1525] Yes, they did.

[1526] They didn't really, when he was doing this?

[1527] Oh, yeah, they knew people were asymptomatic.

[1528] But they were just - When did they know this?

[1529] Oh, man. I mean, who knows.

[1530] This is March, I think that Fauci was on 60 Minutes.

[1531] But they had reports that people, like in February were asymptomatic.

[1532] This is what I'm hearing.

[1533] They knew in February that people were asymptomatic.

[1534] There's so much conflicting information, which is part of the problem.

[1535] But regardless, if you know, okay, they did know this.

[1536] They knew people could get it by droplets in March.

[1537] They did know that.

[1538] So if people can get it in droplets, why would you have the only people that are having symptoms wear a mask?

[1539] If you can get in droplets, that means if I'm healthy, I can get it from your droplets.

[1540] You see what I mean?

[1541] Everybody can give it to everybody.

[1542] So why wouldn't you just say everybody wear masks?

[1543] confusion.

[1544] You know, the World Health Organization in January tweeted that according to China, it cannot be transmitted from person to person.

[1545] That was in January.

[1546] It's changing so much.

[1547] But the World Health Organization has been in bed with China from the beginning.

[1548] And it's really a big part of the problem with this is that the disinformation that the Chinese government had put out to try to alleviate some of the blame.

[1549] I mean, that's their game.

[1550] Their game is alleviate blame and take control of the narrative.

[1551] So the World Health Organization was in bed with them.

[1552] I mean, that's why Trump, although it's widely criticized that he stopped funding to the World Health Organization, this is his rationalization for that.

[1553] They have done terrible things.

[1554] What also fits his narrative, though, too.

[1555] But it's true.

[1556] Regardless of whether it fits his narrative.

[1557] It is true.

[1558] And it fits his narrative.

[1559] If it didn't fit his narrative, he wouldn't have took the money away.

[1560] The narrative of the World Health Organization?

[1561] Yes, it's their fault.

[1562] That's the World Health Organization's fault.

[1563] It's their fault that we're in this, even though we knew about it before it got here.

[1564] We did know about it before it got there, but the World Health Organization did say that in January.

[1565] 100%.

[1566] Have you seen the tweet?

[1567] Because it's pretty crazy when you read it today.

[1568] It's like, wow.

[1569] Like, this is just a few months ago.

[1570] Yeah.

[1571] And this is four and a half months ago that they said this.

[1572] And then you're looking at it.

[1573] You're like, holy Christ.

[1574] I mean, my thing is just going back to March 6th, 11.

[1575] deaths and just this short amount of time over 80 ,000.

[1576] Montana only has one.

[1577] We need to go to Montana.

[1578] I know, that's what I'm saying.

[1579] I'm all up in Montana.

[1580] They just opened up the restaurants again.

[1581] Do you, if you had to guess, when, I mean, you do like arenas, but for normal comedians like me that do clubs, do you think?

[1582] Well, I do clubs too.

[1583] I'm hoping we could do clubs soon.

[1584] I mean, I'm really hoping we can get things going in California again, but and our, you know, Bill Maher had a great rant about it.

[1585] It was really good stuff.

[1586] If you go to Eddie Bob, Eddie Bravo's Instagram, well, we can't play in it anyway.

[1587] But Bill Maher had a really good rant that the key to this is not going to be stay at home forever.

[1588] No. This is not how the immune system works.

[1589] The key is having a healthy body.

[1590] And this idea that your body doesn't know what to do with this, your immune system has never experienced that.

[1591] Your immune system, if it's functioning correctly, it will, fight this off.

[1592] Your situation shows that your immune system was dragged down.

[1593] But my doctor said my immune system, I was opposite.

[1594] My immune system was so strong it caused problems.

[1595] It overreacted.

[1596] Well, this was the reason why they think hydroxychloroquine works, right?

[1597] Because it stops that cytokine storm that happens from your immune system overreacting that's what they said at the time.

[1598] I don't know.

[1599] Like, I don't I don't know.

[1600] But my doctor was like but you were run down right I was run down so that's your immune system running down yeah but from what my doctor said is my immune system was an overdrive but like I said I don't I don't really know I don't know no problem no there's no clear answer like I go like every four hours I go oh this is bullshit everyone's going to be fine we're going to and then four hours later we're all going to die yeah it's like that's that's what it was like in March in March there was so much conflicting information, I didn't know whether or not we're going to be okay or not.

[1601] The doctor I talked to said he had a patient that was rolling at about 60 percent oxygen level and you're supposed to be between like 94 and 100 and the guy didn't even know his oxygen level.

[1602] He was just acting normal.

[1603] And they said that's the thing that's confusing doctors right now.

[1604] It could be like you're climbing a mountain, but you're not breathing hard.

[1605] You're just normal.

[1606] So that's what I believe.

[1607] climbing a mountain so you can be exercising while that was happening no well no no what I'm saying is the same oxygen levels you would get from climbing a high mountain like 60 well I think the problem is so many people do so little with their body that even when although we're saying asymptomatic for a lot of these people it's like they don't ever push themselves so they didn't even know their body is no no no no what they're saying is is on this part is the oxygen level in a person that would would come in with Corona was at 60%.

[1608] But they were, they were functioning like it was at 94, 97, where they're supposed to be passed out.

[1609] Right, but they're not exercising.

[1610] No. But do you hear what I'm saying then?

[1611] What I'm saying is they don't push themselves to the point where they find out that their body's at 60%.

[1612] If you're a person who exercises all the time and you're used to, you're in tune with your body.

[1613] And then you're working out.

[1614] You're like, God, I'm fucking dragging ass.

[1615] that happened to my friend's son and he had it and the way they found out it was his mom had it but he had it and the way he found it was like he's dragging ass when he's working out oh i see what you're saying i see what you're because when you push yourself that's when you find out like if you're just kind of strolling through life you don't really need 100 % of your oxygen right because you're never like yeah you never get to that point but when you do push yourself and you're like wow there's something wrong here like i feel like really fatigued and really shitty.

[1616] Well, I mean, they must have felt it because they were in the hospital.

[1617] So, I mean, they were at 60 % oxygen in the hospital.

[1618] So how are you saying they're asymptomatic if they were in the hospital?

[1619] I didn't say, I never said they were asymptomatic.

[1620] I said these people were in the hospital knowing something's wrong.

[1621] I'm confused.

[1622] Okay.

[1623] Because you're saying it like these people were running around like there's nothing wrong.

[1624] No, no, no. I'm saying the doctors are confused right now because the normal oxygen level is between 94 and 100.

[1625] There are people checking in with Corona of that don't feel well, but they're at 60 % oxygen level, which you shouldn't be able to function.

[1626] Why not?

[1627] I don't know the technical, but this is what the doctor's saying, where you could look it up, but you shouldn't be able to function, but they're texting, they're acting like nothing's wrong, but they're sick.

[1628] I think there's so many people that are so used to feeling like shit.

[1629] I don't know.

[1630] But that level is so, but that level is so low.

[1631] Like they said they should be not even moving.

[1632] Yeah, I was reading something about that as well.

[1633] But I'm not a doctor, so I don't know how to explain it right, but that's what's confusing to them right now.

[1634] And then you hear the kid thing now.

[1635] The kids are getting a certain form of it.

[1636] Like 85 kids in New York.

[1637] It's crazy.

[1638] 85 kids?

[1639] 85 kids.

[1640] I mean, it's a small number, but...

[1641] What are they getting?

[1642] It's attached to coronavirus.

[1643] It's inflammation inside, and it's not...

[1644] Like I said, I'm not a doctor, but I just read about it today.

[1645] I like how you have to keep saying I'm not a doctor.

[1646] I do, because people will take your shit so soon.

[1647] Seriously?

[1648] Like, well, he went through Corona.

[1649] He must know everything about it.

[1650] No, I know nothing.

[1651] Like that he gave it a Southern accent right there.

[1652] I know.

[1653] I did.

[1654] I do that too.

[1655] Why is that?

[1656] A lot of them are really dumb.

[1657] Do you know what that came from?

[1658] Do you know what that's from?

[1659] Honestly, hookworm.

[1660] Hookworm.

[1661] Yeah, it's really crazy.

[1662] The stereotype of the lazy mouth -breathing southerner came from massive amounts of people that were infected with parasites and these parasites were extremely common particularly when people walk around barefoot and they would get these worms these worms would get into their system and one of the side effects of these worms was a decreased brain function so that's a that's a real stereotype that came from a real thing so yeah pull up a hook worm in the south and then stereotypes because, yeah, I forget who told me this.

[1663] Then I wound up going on a deep dive one night and just reading article upon an article about this where they didn't even find out that this was a thing.

[1664] So I think it was like the 1960s.

[1665] They found out about this hookworm parasite and this parasite that was extremely prevalent in the South.

[1666] These thing is many of it, like, how hookworm gave the South a bad name.

[1667] Hookworms once sapped the American South of its health, yet few realize they continue to affect millions.

[1668] So this is a, this worm would infect people that make that a little larger place?

[1669] For more than three centuries, a plague of unshakable lethargy, blanketed the American South.

[1670] It began with ground itch, in quotes, a prickly tingling in the tender webs between the toes, which was soon followed by a dry cough.

[1671] Weeks later, victims succumbed to an insatiable exhaustion, and an impenetrable haziness of the mind that some called stupidity.

[1672] Adults neglected their fields and children grew pale and listless.

[1673] Victims developed grossly distended bellies and angel wings, amaciated shoulder blaze accentuated by the hunching.

[1674] All gazed out dully from sunken sockets with a telltale fish -eye stare.

[1675] The culprit behind the germ of laziness as a South Affliction was sometimes called was Nectar Americanaus, the American murderer, better known today as the hookworm.

[1676] Millions of these blood -sucking parasites lived, fed, multiplied, and died within the guts of up to 40 % of the population stretching from southeastern Texas to West Virginia.

[1677] Hookworm stymied development throughout the region and bred stereotypes about lazy, moronic southerners.

[1678] Well, there you, there you did.

[1679] I can talk like who it is.

[1680] That's why you do it.

[1681] That's why we all do it.

[1682] We do it because it was a real thing.

[1683] And it was a real thing because these poor people were sick with parasites.

[1684] Wow.

[1685] Wow.

[1686] I learned some shit today, Joe.

[1687] Isn't that a nutty one?

[1688] And I'm from Texas.

[1689] That's when you go, oh, okay.

[1690] Well, shit, that makes sense.

[1691] I always used to think it was just hot there and it's hard to think.

[1692] Like, you know.

[1693] Well, now when people say, you don't sound like you're from Texas.

[1694] I'm like, thank you.

[1695] You do a little bit.

[1696] I can hear a little bit.

[1697] Really?

[1698] Yeah, there's a touch.

[1699] I say y 'all still.

[1700] There's a touch.

[1701] It's a touch, you know.

[1702] No, you didn't know that.

[1703] There's no touch.

[1704] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1705] Yeah, you have a touch of southern, some Texan in there.

[1706] Just a touch.

[1707] Yeah.

[1708] But you're definitely not from New York.

[1709] No. Yeah, I mean, you're not from Boston.

[1710] It's like you have something, something going on there.

[1711] Boston, Corona's really bad right now.

[1712] Oh, it's real bad.

[1713] Yeah.

[1714] It's, they believe that there's a different strain on the East Coast than on the West Coast.

[1715] I agree with that.

[1716] 100 % I know I know I know I did yeah you got that hot strain from New York obviously you did I think I think my friend sent me a picture because I didn't I didn't do any meet and greets but I had friends come so he sent me a picture two weeks after they know I survived or like three weeks ago you're fine you're feeling good you're all good oh yeah yeah yeah so he sends me a picture it's me and four of his friends he goes we all got it we must have it to you.

[1717] So you were hanging around with the fucking patient zeros in New York.

[1718] Mm -hmm.

[1719] What were you guys doing?

[1720] Oh, you know how they come to the green room and just say, what's up?

[1721] Great Show.

[1722] And literally hug in.

[1723] And it was one picture.

[1724] And they all got it.

[1725] And everybody in that picture had it.

[1726] So the comedian, I know.

[1727] Who'd you work with in Gotham?

[1728] It was Tone Bell.

[1729] And.

[1730] Did they get it?

[1731] Joe Lark.

[1732] No. No. nobody I worked with in New York and flew back with got it so was only the people that you were hanging out within the green room because no comics were in the green room they came back but then there was like five people so they kind of so they're all coughing and digging into your fucking craft service literally I tell you it was about it was like two minutes but it was a bunch of hugs kisses like that's all it took man and he sent me the picture says now that we know you well and how did those people do they survive it no problem all of them survive one person one girl got sick for like two weeks but it wasn't bad not like you know not like you got it worse than anybody I haven't heard of any comics like that I know have gotten it no I haven't either you know I really think it had to do with you being so run down yeah I mean it's the only thing that makes sense because I know man me personally I am a different human being when I travel too much I just get wrecked yeah you just get wrecked like my brain's foggy like my kids ask me questions, I don't have the answers.

[1733] I don't have the will to do things.

[1734] Like, I'm a different person when I travel too much.

[1735] Yeah.

[1736] Well, it's a thing where after I beat this thing, it's that road to recovery.

[1737] Like, you know, now it's trying to get stronger, trying to.

[1738] Like, I have my energy still, but it's just, you know, when your body's just not right.

[1739] Yeah.

[1740] It's just like, oh, it's trying to catch up, you know.

[1741] And I just feel like I'm that dude just trying to catch up.

[1742] Are you a regular taker of vitamins?

[1743] Yes.

[1744] were you before this um i i wouldn't say like i'm a great vitamin taker even today because i just i hear so much about i don't know if somebody said this is what you need to take then i would take it but i hear a different thing oh take catalin take zinc take this what's catalin it's some it's some vitamin that uh my wife's father gave me Catalan.

[1745] I've never even heard of it.

[1746] Catalan, it's from, I forgot the name of the, it's these pills that are supposed to be all organic.

[1747] And I forgot.

[1748] Oh, it's a company.

[1749] No, no, no. Catalan is a pill from this company.

[1750] I don't know what it does.

[1751] He just said it's healthy.

[1752] Just taking it.

[1753] My wife's been taking it all our life.

[1754] And so I started taking it.

[1755] But I'm not sure.

[1756] It's supposed to be healthy.

[1757] I take every day.

[1758] I take 4 ,000 milligrams of vitamin C. I take 5 ,000 I use.

[1759] of vitamin D. I take a bunch of other shit, fish oil.

[1760] I take glutathione.

[1761] I don't fuck around, man. Especially when this started happening, I bore down, seriously.

[1762] Like, I feel like if somebody gave me this is what you need to take in a day.

[1763] I would take it right now.

[1764] I just don't have that person to say, hey, here's the list.

[1765] Well, Dr. Rhonda Patrick will be on this week.

[1766] When she's on this week, I'm going to put something out.

[1767] Oh, please.

[1768] She talks about it.

[1769] I'll put it up my Instagram.

[1770] No, I would love that.

[1771] Let people know what you should do to strengthen your immune system.

[1772] Do you have a sauna in your house?

[1773] No. You should get a sauna.

[1774] Yeah, I used to go to a sauna place, but obviously they're closed.

[1775] But those are great.

[1776] If you go to one of them public ones, what kind of funk is going?

[1777] I know a guy who actually thinks he got it in a sauna.

[1778] He went in a sauna, and he's like, that seems to me where I got it.

[1779] I think there was a guy who's coughing in a sauna.

[1780] Oh.

[1781] Well, no, these were.

[1782] No, but the place I went to, it's your own boo.

[1783] but they clean it really good.

[1784] Your own booth?

[1785] Yeah.

[1786] It's these little hot boxes.

[1787] Is that an infrared one though?

[1788] Yeah, infrared.

[1789] I don't know if that's really the way to go.

[1790] Laird Hamilton seems to think that it isn't, and I listen to him a lot when it comes to these sort of things because he does a lot of sauna work and breath work and things like that.

[1791] And he said he developed some real skin issues from infrared saunas.

[1792] The studies that were done, is it Norway that did those studies on sauna use?

[1793] Yeah.

[1794] They did studies that should.

[1795] showed a 40 % decrease of all cause mortality for people who regularly use the sauna using the sauna four to five days a week they sowed a 40 % it was so four to five days a week I think it was a 160 degree temperature um for 20 minutes and they showed a 40 % decrease of all cause mortality cancer stroke heart attack everything all all the different things because of the body's production of heat shock proteins from regular sauna use so I have not skisks.

[1796] a day, not one day of a sauna since this happened.

[1797] I'm very lucky that I have one in my house, and I have one here at the studio, so I've been doing it every fucking day, and I've talked some friends into getting ones where they didn't have room for it in their house, but Costco sells them.

[1798] You can get a fucking outdoor sauna, a barrel sauna, like a thousand bucks.

[1799] I'm like, think all the shit you spend money on.

[1800] And if you can afford this, please get one.

[1801] Because I think it's massively contributed to my health.

[1802] And also, like, alleviation of aches and pains.

[1803] I just feel good.

[1804] I get it in every fucking day, man. Every day.

[1805] When I was on my routine, I loved it.

[1806] Yeah.

[1807] Loved it.

[1808] But then everything shut down.

[1809] And I'm like, okay, maybe that's an investment.

[1810] Do you have room in your yard?

[1811] Oh, yeah.

[1812] Yeah.

[1813] Get a little barrel saunas, bro.

[1814] Yeah.

[1815] Definitely going to do that.

[1816] Yeah.

[1817] I get in the sauna.

[1818] I do 25 minutes at 180 degrees.

[1819] And then I jump in the pool.

[1820] I do laps.

[1821] That's how I end it.

[1822] That's how cool off.

[1823] Speaking about health, I, after this is over, I was talking to my doctor.

[1824] I want to go back in, you know, because we're saying it could be my immune, but this is really open my eye.

[1825] Maybe I do have something underlying.

[1826] You know, it makes me want to see, okay, what could have caused it besides my immune?

[1827] If there is something, like, this is the first time I really want to get checked out.

[1828] But have you been a guy who gets colds on a regular basis?

[1829] No, no. How often do you get?

[1830] This is my first time in a hospital besides the concussion.

[1831] Really?

[1832] Yeah.

[1833] So, no, I get one cold a year in December about.

[1834] December 14th every single year.

[1835] That's just the time it comes.

[1836] So do you start thinking around December 10th?

[1837] Oh, fuck, here it comes.

[1838] 100%.

[1839] I know it's coming.

[1840] Maybe mind fuck yourself.

[1841] Maybe so.

[1842] But my wife knows it's coming.

[1843] She's go, oh, it's about your time.

[1844] And I get it.

[1845] Jesus, that's like a period.

[1846] Every yearly period.

[1847] That's weird.

[1848] Yeah.

[1849] So it's a thing where I just feel like, you know, I get that one cold.

[1850] But when I went to the doctor, now I'm like, okay, let me investigate and get a full checkup from the dude that saved my life.

[1851] Like everything.

[1852] to see if there's any underlying.

[1853] Let me know.

[1854] I'm very curious.

[1855] I have to think it's to travel.

[1856] I mean, especially listening to that schedule.

[1857] Flying to New York, doing all those shows, flying back.

[1858] And, of course, every time you fly, you're tired.

[1859] Yeah.

[1860] You know, always.

[1861] You have to get up in the morning, get to flight, and fly back, and the time zone's all fucked up.

[1862] And the fact that you went immediately to Vegas and drove four and back in the same day.

[1863] Yeah.

[1864] And then this was at the time where people didn't even wear a mask in the plane.

[1865] You know, of course.

[1866] I wore one because my wife made me. She, but it didn't help.

[1867] Well, it sounds like we know exactly where you got it.

[1868] Yeah, it was New York.

[1869] I got it.

[1870] And those guys that you were with.

[1871] Yeah.

[1872] So a mask, I didn't have a mask when I met my friends.

[1873] Or maybe you gave it to them.

[1874] I don't think so.

[1875] Oh, you're going to blame them.

[1876] Yeah, 100%.

[1877] I know I didn't have it.

[1878] This is why I know I didn't have it is because the two comics didn't get it.

[1879] And they were with me there.

[1880] And then one flew back with me. And the only time they weren't around me. And this was the last show of the whole weekend.

[1881] So I didn't see those comics the day after.

[1882] So I know I got it from them because the other comics didn't get it.

[1883] Well, my friend Sturgle got it when he was traveling to Europe.

[1884] Then when he came home, he's with his wife and kids.

[1885] No one got it.

[1886] Just him.

[1887] See, I bet you if he tested his wife for Antibon.

[1888] They all tested.

[1889] They didn't have it.

[1890] At the same time, they tested?

[1891] Everyone tested.

[1892] Huh, because my wife thinks she got it.

[1893] We got the antibody test, so we're waiting to see.

[1894] Oh, she thinks she has the antibodies.

[1895] Wait a minute.

[1896] Why didn't the antibody test?

[1897] Why didn't it supposed to take like 15 minutes?

[1898] Oh, we're not Joe Rogan.

[1899] We got the one where you got to go in and it takes two days.

[1900] The swab, the no swab or the finger prick?

[1901] No, they draw your blood.

[1902] Oh, okay.

[1903] It's the FDA one, I guess.

[1904] So now that's available, like, at some place down the street from our house.

[1905] So she went to go get it.

[1906] It's just she couldn't, we couldn't find time because the kids, you know, love her around.

[1907] So when is it?

[1908] We get the results tomorrow.

[1909] Oh, okay.

[1910] But I took the, I've taken two corona tests.

[1911] I took one before I came here like three days ago.

[1912] Your wife just brushed it off.

[1913] You're never going to hear the end of it.

[1914] I think she did.

[1915] She said, oh, yeah, I had a fever for a day.

[1916] And the kids had one for half a day.

[1917] I'm like, but I think I got that, I know I got that strand from New York.

[1918] And it hit me hard, man. Dude, I think it's travel.

[1919] I really do.

[1920] I'm talking to all my comedian friends.

[1921] Everybody that I've had here that hasn't been traveling, I'm like, dude, I never felt better in my life.

[1922] I feel great because we're not traveling every weekend.

[1923] Yeah.

[1924] I think that shit's terrible.

[1925] I think it's like drinking every weekend.

[1926] I really think it's similar.

[1927] I think it's like you're beating yourself up.

[1928] And also, I'm the guy that will do the show, leave the club at one, and they get on the 6 a .m. And that's what I did, too.

[1929] well I did Wendy Williams so I flew out that night but usually the two weeks before that I do the late show first flight out because I want to be with my family I did the exact same thing and that's what I did in Florida and then literally you're laying around all day going on what the fuck did I do to myself and you feel horrible the whole day you can't even function where I think I'm on that new pattern when comedy picks up again it's like yeah I'm gonna take the three or four o 'clock out I'm gonna take my time leaving Yeah.

[1930] Because I'm worn out.

[1931] And you don't recover till Monday or Tuesday sometimes when you do like four shows or whatever.

[1932] Yep.

[1933] When you travel.

[1934] Yeah.

[1935] I mean, if you can get that IV vitamin drip too, man, that's a big one.

[1936] I learned that trick from Chappelle.

[1937] Oh, yeah.

[1938] When I did gigs with him, we would be out late.

[1939] And then the next day he's got a nurse that comes to the hotel.

[1940] We're all sitting around talking shit with IVs.

[1941] Like there was a tree.

[1942] Like the bag was like branches of the tree.

[1943] It was like Donnell's on one branch, I'm on another branch, and we're all getting IV vitamin drips in the hotel room.

[1944] Like, this is so weird, but it's so effective.

[1945] After you get it, you're like, fuck, I feel amazing.

[1946] Is that what got you into them?

[1947] Yes.

[1948] Oh, wow.

[1949] Okay.

[1950] And then a few of my friends get into it.

[1951] They do vitamin drips.

[1952] I've heard about it before.

[1953] I never did it.

[1954] Yeah, I'm all for it.

[1955] Jamie and I do it every week.

[1956] We do every Wednesday.

[1957] We have a nurse comes in here, and they give us an NAD drip.

[1958] and an IV vitamin drip.

[1959] Wait, is the NAD is what we talked about last time?

[1960] NAD is that shit that lengthens your telomeres.

[1961] Yeah.

[1962] Does that make you feel any different?

[1963] I'm 100 % in belief that it's made a big difference.

[1964] You feel the same?

[1965] Yeah.

[1966] It works.

[1967] It does something.

[1968] Yeah, Dr. Davidson, Claire, had been here from Harvard, and he explained it to us what NAD does in NMN, which is the precursor to NAD.

[1969] You could take that in pill form as well.

[1970] Now, is the NAD a slow drip?

[1971] Does it take longer?

[1972] Well, you could do it slow or you could do it fast, but if you do it fast, it's really painful.

[1973] You do it fast, don't you?

[1974] I do it as fast as – I do it wide open.

[1975] It takes 13 minutes.

[1976] It's usually supposed to take two hours.

[1977] What kind of pain you're going through?

[1978] It's not good.

[1979] Jamie, do you go wide open?

[1980] Well, not wide, but I've been doing it in like 35, 40 minutes.

[1981] that's it's uncomfortable what does it feel like like your guts your guts are on fire it feels like you swallowed hot sauce or something like you're in agony yeah it's not it doesn't feel good if you do it over a long period you barely feel it at all the first time we did it she goes do you want to do it fast or slow i go let's do it pretty fast and so she did it at one hour and i'm like oh it's kind of uncomfortable but it's not that big a deal it's like everything else man when People tell me about the swab, like, oh, my God, the swab is so awful.

[1982] It's so awful.

[1983] It's not.

[1984] It's like, it's just, you get it in there.

[1985] It's like, ah, ugh.

[1986] It's weird.

[1987] For a second.

[1988] Not that big a deal.

[1989] Not that big a deal.

[1990] But the IVNAD, it, when you do it, what I do is I have them open it wide up.

[1991] So the bag drains in 13 minutes.

[1992] Beast.

[1993] You just, but it's 13 minutes versus an, whether you, an hour of, feeling like shit or 13 minutes or really feeling like shit i'll take the 13 okay after the 13 minutes though is it done like the pain just goes away as soon as the drip is done exactly exactly it lasts like an extra couple of minutes and then i do the iv vitamin bag after that and that's nothing that's nothing that's nothing that's nothing dude that's beast my friend was telling me about that yeah yeah if you should try it it feels real weird like the people that told me about it like it feels like your guts are on fire I'm like how is that possible but it's an IV like what is it but it's just like you feel it in your chest just feels really uncomfortable like this is what it feels like if I could show you right here ready and just deal with it for 13 minutes just yeah to suck it up open it wide up I try I try it at first I go open that wide up let me feel that's like and I was like I think I could take this and is it is it Instant, like you, as soon as they open it up, you felt that.

[1994] Oh, yeah, right away.

[1995] Because the drip's going like this.

[1996] They're just flown into your veins.

[1997] Uh -uh.

[1998] No. I would be the hour, hour and a half, dude.

[1999] I can't, I'm not, no, no, no, no, no. Well, no, no, no. When stuff goes in me, I, I'm scared.

[2000] I hear David Goggins going, stay hard, motherfucker.

[2001] No, right.

[2002] Don't be a pussy.

[2003] Don't be a pussy.

[2004] Open it up.

[2005] Open it up.

[2006] I would rather go through 13.

[2007] I always mocked Jamie.

[2008] But Jamie goes pretty fast.

[2009] Yeah, now that, okay.

[2010] So it's my explanation of it is it's like a little exponentially.

[2011] It goes up.

[2012] That 25, 30 minute range sucks, but any faster than that, it sucks hard.

[2013] Like, I start feeling it my fingers.

[2014] It's a big suck.

[2015] It was like, it sucked.

[2016] So when you open that bitch wide and you do the, 13 minute jammy 13 minutes is as fast as I can do it I told them and then I also put the um the the tree the fucking pole where the ivy's hanging I put it on a table so it's more drag gravity oh great so it'd go even faster is 13 minutes the fast as it can go as it can go yeah you're crazy but it's just it's just pain I want to feel it too I want to know what it feels like like um it's a my I play a little mind game myself that's ridiculous it's not though it is it's not I mean it's your thing I respect to I want to I want to have control over what what I assign to sensations so does it does the pain lessen every time you do it or is it no no no you don't build up a tolerance no I get nervous every week every week right before I do it I'm like fuck here we go and I just get myself in the mindset And then once it's happening, it's just happening.

[2017] Okay.

[2018] I watched Jerry Seinfeld this time.

[2019] That distracted the shit out of me. Tiger King distracted the shit out of me. Did you like Tiger King?

[2020] Yes.

[2021] I loved it.

[2022] I loved it.

[2023] It's amazing to me how some people just live.

[2024] Yeah.

[2025] Like that's so disconnected.

[2026] Yeah.

[2027] There's a certain special type of person that is like really into those goddamn big cats too like that was one thing that i got out of that like there's a special type of person that's into like having big cats in their backyard and shit have you ever mess with a cat no oh yeah no it's a little cat that i had it's a little fucking baby cat i was scared as fuck of that thing i told you how i crawled that thing threw a blanket over it or whatever it was yeah i just i just find when you give certain people lots of land they'll do crazy shit to it yeah because you Yeah, you know, you have ATV tracks and shit, gun range.

[2028] Yeah.

[2029] My friend has this ranch in Austin, Texas, in the middle of nowhere.

[2030] And he always asked me to go.

[2031] But they got guns.

[2032] They blow up cars.

[2033] They use dynamite.

[2034] That sounds very Texas.

[2035] It's so Texas.

[2036] They ride horses.

[2037] And I'm like, no, because I can see myself, and I'm a worry rat.

[2038] I can see myself going there and getting shot on accident.

[2039] Like, they're that, they drink, they shoot guns.

[2040] They drink and then shoot guns?

[2041] They're blowing up cars.

[2042] when they're drunk.

[2043] Like, that's them.

[2044] He has a lot of money.

[2045] So he'll, he'll, he just gets used cars.

[2046] No one's going to feel bad if he dies that way.

[2047] Hey, he's a good friend.

[2048] Oh, man. He parties hard.

[2049] If you drink and shoot guns and something goes wrong, people are like, well, what did you think was going to happen?

[2050] Yeah.

[2051] He's a helicopter.

[2052] Helicopter.

[2053] What does this guy do for a living?

[2054] I don't want to say.

[2055] You don't want to say.

[2056] Well, now he's an oil business.

[2057] Oh, they're a lot.

[2058] There you go, Texas.

[2059] So, like, I just see them in a copter drinking.

[2060] Like, this is on, he sends me the video, and then shooting a car, and it blows up.

[2061] From a helicopter.

[2062] Oh, my God.

[2063] Texas is a special place.

[2064] It is.

[2065] That's real freedom.

[2066] They don't give a fuck down there.

[2067] No, they don't.

[2068] Austin, Texas, where my friend Adam lives, Adam Curry, he's already eaten at restaurants.

[2069] He sent me, this was like before I went to Florida, he sent me a message.

[2070] said he went to a restaurant, they didn't wear a mask, everybody's eating, normal.

[2071] Like, isn't it crazy how quickly that went away?

[2072] Oh, yeah.

[2073] Well, I think people now are just accepting people are going to die.

[2074] Like, if the president just came out and say, look, a lot of people are going to die, but to us for, to us to get back, we need to go out.

[2075] So it's almost like herd immunity.

[2076] Yeah, but if you say something like that, people are going to go crazy.

[2077] Like, how callous are you to say it?

[2078] You can't say it that way.

[2079] They won't go crazy.

[2080] You know why?

[2081] Because right now in America, it's so divided where no matter what Trump says liberal's going to go nuts his base fine with it you know so it's going to be the same we would think people would go nuts yeah you say that but if someone in your family does something and then goes out and dies because Donald Trump's happening now that's happening now what do you mean people are going out with no mask and they're catching stuff and then 80 ,000 people are dead so that's somebody's families those people are in right I want to know out of those people that are dying what are the extenuating circumstances how many of them are old so I read something I need to know if this is true someone said that the Google this the average age of people who've died from the coronavirus is older than the average age that people die hmm I haven't heard that yeah but I read that I've heard 60 and up I was on the way out the door I was like God I got to remember to look at that I heard I've read stuff and like I said there's so many different stories out there, but I've heard that corona are killing people a decade before they're supposed to die.

[2082] But yeah, when you say that, though, that's when you're that old, anything can kill you.

[2083] Absolutely.

[2084] Right?

[2085] When you're 75 years old and you get the flu, you have a very high likelihood you're going to die.

[2086] It's much higher than if you're 35 years old, you get the flu.

[2087] That's like with everything, you know, so what are we going to do when the flu comes around?

[2088] Are we going to change our behavior?

[2089] Are we going to isolate and social distance each other when the flu is around?

[2090] But the difference with the flu, you have a vaccine.

[2091] You sometimes have a vaccine.

[2092] Yeah, but at least there's comfort.

[2093] Yes, there's something to the flu shot.

[2094] Exactly.

[2095] But with Corona, you don't have that yet.

[2096] So, and the problem is it just started.

[2097] You know, so you have no answers.

[2098] And literally a new strain could come out.

[2099] They don't even know if it mutates yet.

[2100] You know, they're saying it doesn't.

[2101] Well, they think it does, actually.

[2102] It does.

[2103] They think that in India, they have a completely different strain that will, if they come up with a vaccine for the coronavirus that we have here, it won't be effective on the coronavirus that they have in India.

[2104] See?

[2105] I mean, so, like, there's so many things that's, it's just not known.

[2106] And that's what makes it scary to people.

[2107] And that's why so misinformation.

[2108] So what does it say here?

[2109] This is the table from the CDC's updated as of, I guess, was this last week.

[2110] Okay, but this is not what I'm looking.

[2111] for this is going to be too broad no one's written that article though i don't know how to find it though yeah no one wrote that article i mean i can't find like that specific question did you ask it that way the average age of people dying from coronavirus is older than the average age that people die when i type that in this is the article that comes up so it says 85 years 13 000 75 to 84 12000 65 to 74 9000 yeah the COVID the COVID deaths are in this column so the average age people die is somewhere in the range of 75.

[2112] It says 78 .54 and I typed it in.

[2113] So 78 .54 is when people die.

[2114] So 75 to 84 years old would be the average age people die.

[2115] And that's 12 ,000 people.

[2116] Over 85 is 13 ,000 people.

[2117] So that's the vast majority of people.

[2118] The larger number of people is the 75 to 84 to 85 year old, 85 plus year old.

[2119] So that does make sense.

[2120] That is correct then.

[2121] Wow.

[2122] I keep staring at that.

[2123] 45 to 54 number.

[2124] It could have been 2 .263.

[2125] Oh, my God.

[2126] Yeah.

[2127] It's relatively small for the younger people.

[2128] And then when you get to 15 to 24, there's only been 48 deaths.

[2129] 5 to 14, four deaths.

[2130] One to four, two deaths.

[2131] Under one four deaths.

[2132] So, yeah.

[2133] So, I mean, it's not good when anybody dies in any disease.

[2134] But this is, it is interesting.

[2135] And it points to the immune system.

[2136] It points to whether or not your immune system can fight it off.

[2137] Yeah.

[2138] Let me tell you, I'm staying like I'm doing the drips.

[2139] I'm going to get a drip later this week.

[2140] I had one a couple weeks ago because I've always been in the drips.

[2141] How do you eat?

[2142] Do you eat well?

[2143] Do you eat healthy?

[2144] Oatmeal in the morning.

[2145] Yeah.

[2146] What do you eat?

[2147] Well, I wake up eat oatmeal in the morning.

[2148] Not really that good for you.

[2149] Avocado is pretty good for you.

[2150] Oatmeal is just carbs.

[2151] Okay.

[2152] And then I'm just telling me what I eat.

[2153] and then for lunch I eat the same thing every day I have a turkey bowl it's just turkey rice and beans and then for dinner I'll have a salad Do you hate flavor?

[2154] I'm not in the I'm not a foodie at all like I don't like yeah I'm like a robot I can eat the same thing every single day I do eat the same thing every single day really yeah maybe that's your problem eating the same thing boring ass bullshit food and then I eat a salad at night with, like, fish or chicken or something like that?

[2155] Boring.

[2156] I am boring.

[2157] I am boring.

[2158] My wife is like, you want to order a pizza tonight?

[2159] Like, I'll, yeah, I'll switch it up when she wants to eat.

[2160] But as far as me, but, like, in college, I did that.

[2161] You know, like, you wake up in the morning.

[2162] When you play college football, you eat this.

[2163] Afternoon, you eat this.

[2164] Like, I was on creatine.

[2165] Like, we were a testicle for creatine.

[2166] So they gave us that six times a day, but you had to stay on this certain diet.

[2167] I gained, like, almost 60 pounds.

[2168] in like a year.

[2169] Creatine put some weight on you.

[2170] It made my face fat.

[2171] Yeah.

[2172] It was, oh, it was Samoan.

[2173] Yeah.

[2174] I turned Samoan.

[2175] Well, you retain so much water.

[2176] That's the interesting thing about when I did the carnivore diet.

[2177] I did the carnivore diet.

[2178] I wound up losing, I think, somewhere around 13 pounds in a month, and I got ripped.

[2179] I got really shredded.

[2180] But also, your muscles get smaller.

[2181] Like, everything got smaller.

[2182] My face got smaller.

[2183] Everything got smaller because your body's retaining less water because you don't have glucose in your system.

[2184] You don't have as much glycogen.

[2185] It's different.

[2186] You're not eating carbohydrate.

[2187] I wasn't eating any carbohydrates.

[2188] Okay, so since I'm starting with oatmeal, what should I be starting with?

[2189] I mean, there's nothing wrong with oatmeal.

[2190] I mean, oatmeal's fine.

[2191] You just shit on my oatmeal.

[2192] There's not a lot of nutrients in it.

[2193] It's okay.

[2194] It's good carbohydrates.

[2195] Yeah.

[2196] Oatmeal's with blueberries is a good way to get started.

[2197] When do you like to work out?

[2198] Do you work out in the morning?

[2199] As soon as I wake up.

[2200] As soon as you wake up.

[2201] I drink first and then work out?

[2202] No, I drink three cups of water.

[2203] workout i mean three cups of water then i have um a little shake with that layered stuff the superfood so i have that and then i work out oh that's good yeah that's not bad yeah i mean it's a little something something um i've done both i do uh fasted exercise so i'll not eat for 16 hours and then i get up in the morning and i'll either run or i'll do yoga or on a crazy day I'll do both.

[2204] I'll run with the dog for an hour, and then I'll go and do a yoga class for an hour and a half, no food.

[2205] But I'm pretty wrecked by the time the yoga class is over.

[2206] Yeah, I sometimes do the fast thing, too, and I'll run, and then I'll go work out.

[2207] And I feel great, but if you get through it, you feel so good.

[2208] Mm -hmm.

[2209] And you feel like you did something.

[2210] Yeah, he did something.

[2211] You really did something.

[2212] You struggled.

[2213] The struggle's real.

[2214] What I like is fruit before I work out.

[2215] It seems like that's the, like today I had some bananas, and then I did some kickboxing.

[2216] I feel like there's something about fruit where it's not heavy.

[2217] It's not going to fuck with my, like, if I'm working out really hard and I'm digesting food, it feels like shit.

[2218] It feels terrible.

[2219] But for me, oranges, apples, fruit, some blueberries, that's nice.

[2220] It gives me just a little bit of sugar, a little bit of just to get me going.

[2221] I'll drink some coffee, and then I can get a good workout in.

[2222] And it's just enough fuel to power me through a workout.

[2223] I've tried both ways.

[2224] I definitely could work out hard.

[2225] when I have some fuel.

[2226] I was watching TV.

[2227] This was happening a couple of weeks ago.

[2228] And I started laughing because all that popped into my head was you when they released the footage of those UFOs.

[2229] I was like, Joe Rogan is going to talk about this the next day.

[2230] I'm so happy.

[2231] I love it.

[2232] But wasn't that released like a year ago?

[2233] Well, it was leaked.

[2234] But then the Pentagon finally, look, in the middle of the pandemic, what a great time to just admit there's UFOs.

[2235] Because one of the things that I said on my Instagram, I was like, in any of the time in history, if the government came out and said there are flying saucers that defy our understanding of propulsion and physics, the world will go crazy.

[2236] But in 2020, people are like, eh, like nothing.

[2237] Has anybody seen those pilots?

[2238] Well, I've had one of them on here.

[2239] Oh, so he's a believer.

[2240] Yeah, Dr. David.

[2241] Yeah, Dr. Commander David Fravor.

[2242] I had him on the podcast, and he was explaining the whole thing to me. like his experience off the coast of San Diego running into one of these things.

[2243] I mean, there's people that are debunkers, but they need to understand this is not just visual.

[2244] They had very specific, like, actual real data, including radar, they track these things.

[2245] They use sophisticated military tracking.

[2246] These are real objects.

[2247] This is not, like, there's a lot of dummies out there that want to debunk everything.

[2248] and they're just as much of a religious person as someone who's a true believer.

[2249] They're a true believer that everything can be explained.

[2250] Well, not everything can be explained, and these things can't be explained.

[2251] When they're explaining how these things traveled, they went from like six feet off the ground to 60 ,000 feet in a matter of a couple of seconds, they fly in some way that these military aircraft pilots can't explain.

[2252] They don't understand it.

[2253] And they don't know what they are.

[2254] Now, whether they're from another planet, that's never been proven.

[2255] They might be interdimensional.

[2256] They might be something from here.

[2257] They might be some super sophisticated top of the food chain, top secret stuff that they're exposing these people to just so they freak out and like, let's see if they can get a, you know, get an explanation for this.

[2258] Let's launch these things and have them fly past people at these preposterous rates of speed.

[2259] and see what the reaction is.

[2260] Do you think those type of secrets, if there are, are higher than the president?

[2261] Do you really, do you think there's an organization that's above president's?

[2262] 100%.

[2263] 100%.

[2264] Here's why.

[2265] Presidents come and go.

[2266] They come every four years.

[2267] We're going to trust some dipshit who wins a popularity contest.

[2268] Trump's a perfect example of that.

[2269] Here's a guy who's not even a politician.

[2270] Lifelong businessman who wins a popularity contest gets to be in the most powerful office, most powerful position, really the world's ever known.

[2271] President of the United States, commander -in -chief of the greatest army, this entire planet has ever seen.

[2272] You're going to tell him?

[2273] You're going to tell Trump?

[2274] I mean, think, think, oh, the great, he believes Obama's from Kenya.

[2275] He believes, a lot of people believe that.

[2276] But, you know, look, you see those birth certificates.

[2277] It's like, is this real?

[2278] Who knows?

[2279] And by the way, Obama's, when he was in college, his publicist for his whatever book he was publishing or whatever.

[2280] I forget what it was, but wrote down in his bio born in Kenya.

[2281] So it wasn't just a couple of people.

[2282] It was literally somebody who was working with Obama wrote down that he was born in Kenya.

[2283] Does that mean he was born in Kenya?

[2284] No, it doesn't.

[2285] It might mean that the publicist thought it would be cool to say he was born in Kenya because it would make, wow, this guy's gone so far.

[2286] and look at him, now he's at Harvard and he was born in Kenya.

[2287] It makes for a better story.

[2288] It makes for a better story.

[2289] So you have to take all the possibilities into consideration.

[2290] You know, but anyway, Trump was a, he was, that was his thing.

[2291] He was a birther, right?

[2292] Yeah.

[2293] He believes a lot of wacky shit.

[2294] And if you gave him access to that, he would have definitely told us stuff by now.

[2295] Of course he would.

[2296] Of course there's UFOs there.

[2297] I mean, he sent out the footage.

[2298] Well, Jimmy Carter said that he would, he said that he had actually seen a UFO and that if he got to the office, he would tell everybody.

[2299] And he got into office and didn't say shit.

[2300] Didn't say shit.

[2301] I really think when people go in there, man. Like, if you're a president, they say, this is what we can keep you alive on.

[2302] If you talk about this, we can't protect you.

[2303] I honestly think they have that conversation.

[2304] Well, if you look at what Obama said before he got into office versus what he did when he got into office, there's two possible scenarios.

[2305] One, he got into office, and then he got compromised.

[2306] and he became corrupt and it became a part of the system.

[2307] Two, his understanding when he was running for president of how the world really works is vastly different than how the world actually works.

[2308] And then once you get in there, you realize that the huge spectrum of threats to the United States and to people that are coming from all around the world all the time and what needs to be done to mitigate these threats.

[2309] I'm more inclined to believe the latter.

[2310] I think it's more like that.

[2311] I think you have these idealistic perspectives, that once you get into office, they get sort of dashed, and you go, holy shit.

[2312] You're like, oh, everybody wants.

[2313] That's why they all look old, too.

[2314] I think the pressure that, they're like, what the fuck?

[2315] I think the whole world's barely keeping it together every day.

[2316] Every day of the year, barely keeping it together.

[2317] You got like, this fucking Libya is a failed state.

[2318] They're having slave auctions on YouTube, and you've got ISIS is plating these fucking these attacks here and this group and Boko Haram is doing this and fucking Al -Qaeda is doing that and the Taliban and all day China's doing this and North Korea's got that and I think every fucking president deals with a new series of potential terrorist attacks a new series of religious fanatics that want to blow things up and kill people and you've got white nationalists that are going to Christchurch in New Zealand and shooting people at a mosque and it's like all day long you've got madness and if you're the one person that won the popularity contest and all of a sudden you're sitting in the fucking control room and they're explaining everything to you like the situation room with wolf fletcher you know like come on man breaking news every time they come up breaking news breaking news I think it's madness it's madness that's what I think I think all day long it's madness yeah It's scary, man. It's scary.

[2319] I think they keep Trump in the dark.

[2320] They feed him Adderall and let him watch keeping up with the Kardashians.

[2321] And he's just like, he just tweets about people he's mad at.

[2322] How, I mean.

[2323] Don Lemon, you piece of shit.

[2324] And he gets mad at people.

[2325] I mean, how crazy is this that our president just tweets?

[2326] He tweeted, I think, over the weekend, 126 times or retweets?

[2327] Bro, I don't even have time to tweet.

[2328] You know, when I, it's so rare that I tweet something, most of my tweets come from Instagram.

[2329] I'll post a picture on Instagram, and that gets tweeted.

[2330] That's most of the time.

[2331] If I tweet once in a day, it's a lot.

[2332] That's a crazy day.

[2333] I wonder if somebody runs...

[2334] Do you think somebody runs his account?

[2335] No. You think it's actually him on it?

[2336] Yes, I do.

[2337] Yes, I do.

[2338] Yes, I do.

[2339] I don't see how you have...

[2340] I'm positive.

[2341] Because I'm not positive, but I really believe that.

[2342] Because I think that if you look at his pattern before he was ever president, that's how he did this.

[2343] He always just talk shit.

[2344] It's the way he gets the word out.

[2345] And it's...

[2346] You know, it's real controversial, man. I mean, because some of the things that he says, like, he's threatening people.

[2347] Like, he's threatened North Korea with missiles and shit.

[2348] Did you think that dictator was dead when that came out?

[2349] I was hoping he was dead because I wanted to see what happens if his sister takes over.

[2350] I thought that would be fun.

[2351] She has my name, yo.

[2352] That was pretty cool.

[2353] Because I am Korean.

[2354] I was like, yo!

[2355] We got a yo in the house.

[2356] We got a yo in the house.

[2357] Yeah.

[2358] I was thinking, but apparently Jamie said that the story is that he faked his own death so that he could find out who the traitors were.

[2359] Good plan.

[2360] Makes sense.

[2361] Makes sense to me. Yeah.

[2362] And if you look at him, like, he says a heart attack, like, okay, look at him.

[2363] Yeah, I mean.

[2364] The motherfucker looks like he's ready for a heart attack.

[2365] Well, then that must also mean he's threatening some way, too, where there's some...

[2366] Listen, when you're a fucking dictator, every day, it's like, think of the whole thing of horrible shit he's done he killed his own uncle right he and his own uncle killed and his brother yeah and his brother in it the uncle's brother right or his brother no his i believe he got it that's the airport one where he killed his brother in an airport he had him uh they gave him some poison or something allegedly i get really yeah i don't know about that but didn't he he he killed someone with a missile oh yeah he blew him up yeah i think it was his uncle yeah he shot his uncle with a missile Is it tied to a dude to a pole And then fucking hid behind a rock That's fucking crazy Like anyone I guess that could take power Or in the realm of taking power He got rid of them Yeah They said that I can't I don't know their numbers But let's say 13 people Or like his father's crew Like only two of them survived The rest The other 11 through like Disappeared Well you gotta think Once he assumes power And people realize Like this guy's just born into power.

[2367] And it was probably a lot of people plotting against him.

[2368] A lot of military people plotting against him.

[2369] And that's a dark country where they all plot against each other and they all rat on each other.

[2370] It's built into the system, you know, that they're all supposed to tattletail on each other.

[2371] I just feel like, you know, like this dude came in like a football coach.

[2372] It's like, I'm firing everybody.

[2373] I'm going to have my own team.

[2374] And instead of firing people who just killed them.

[2375] I think that's what they do over there.

[2376] Man, I don't know.

[2377] But my mom, she's from South Korea.

[2378] She's like, she's, I always ask, oh, is North Korea ever going to do something to the South Korea?

[2379] She's like, no. Like, people from there, Seema's no threat.

[2380] That's what's crazy.

[2381] It's a sad.

[2382] It's a sad.

[2383] And a lot of the reason why it's the way it is is the United States interference.

[2384] You know, I mean, if you look at the history of North Korea, like how it got started and why they became this horrific military dictatorship, you can kind of trace a good chunk of it to American policy and what we did in Korea during the Korean War.

[2385] It's fucking crazy shit, man. Yeah.

[2386] It's, it's, this world man, it's just nuts.

[2387] Like, I don't know if you saw the video of that kid that was jogging, Amad.

[2388] Yes.

[2389] I mean, what is going on?

[2390] Like, I'm not surprised.

[2391] I can say I'm not surprised like something.

[2392] It's horrific.

[2393] It's horrific.

[2394] See the guy in the back of the pickup truck with a shotgun?

[2395] The other guy jumps out and he's trying grab the shotgun from them.

[2396] They shoot them.

[2397] Like, what?

[2398] My thing is, how do we have laws that say that you could chase somebody with guns?

[2399] And here's the thing.

[2400] If you notice in the video, the truck is in front of them.

[2401] So they chased them, got in front of them.

[2402] The guy that's running behind him, it's almost like Amad was trapped.

[2403] A guy chasing you with a camera.

[2404] The truck was already pulled up.

[2405] It was certainly trapped.

[2406] I mean, they chased him down and it's vigilantism.

[2407] Even, look, even if he did something.

[2408] I mean, I don't even know if he did anything.

[2409] No, he said he was just running, but no, there's actually photographed.

[2410] There's videos of him walking into a house being built.

[2411] Like, it's just wood inside.

[2412] Right.

[2413] He looked at it.

[2414] What I told my wife, I would do that shit when I was a kid.

[2415] Me too.

[2416] I was telling my wife, we just did that the other day.

[2417] They're building a house and we just, oh, let's see where this is.

[2418] And then he jogs on.

[2419] Didn't steal anything.

[2420] Didn't have anything.

[2421] Just jogging.

[2422] Now, how do we come to a point in our country where two men can chase him down with guns and then get in a fight with them and then say it was self -defense?

[2423] Well, I think Georgia has some crazy laws in terms of like citizens' arrests.

[2424] And also, they have ties to law enforcement.

[2425] Yes, the father was with the DEA.

[2426] And then the prosecutor, the local prosecutor, wrote this letter that said, basically he burglarized.

[2427] The kid Ahmad burglarized something.

[2428] which he didn't, and they had every right to pull him over.

[2429] And when he didn't stop, they got in a fight.

[2430] And so they had every right to kill him.

[2431] So now the government came in, like the big dogs came in, and then they arrested people in two days.

[2432] And it was just like, ah, we don't think so.

[2433] And here's the thing.

[2434] It took social media outcry.

[2435] It took the outrage of people finding out about the case.

[2436] But when I found out that it happened months ago.

[2437] Oh, 223.

[2438] February 20, I mean, January, February 23rd.

[2439] For months, these guys were out and they knew that they had shot him.

[2440] And then here's what's really crazy.

[2441] They had the video.

[2442] Here's what's really crazy.

[2443] The video was released by their own lawyer.

[2444] You know why?

[2445] He thought it showed that the guy tried to take the gun away.

[2446] Look, he's going to free you.

[2447] I'm doing the Southern accent.

[2448] Hey, I got an idea.

[2449] We're going to release the video and then everyone's going to know.

[2450] That dude released a video.

[2451] what I heard.

[2452] He released that it helped him.

[2453] Helped him.

[2454] Because the guy didn't stop when they tried to pull him over.

[2455] Fuck.

[2456] Imagine being a 25 -year -old black man and two white guys in the back of a pickup truck with shotguns pull over and there's no one else around.

[2457] Holy fuck.

[2458] What was the kid supposed to do just stop and talk to two men with guns?

[2459] Exactly.

[2460] And then I was listening to reports like before this video even came out, here's what's crazy is the police had the video at the beginning and they still dismissed it.

[2461] They had this at the beginning.

[2462] They didn't release it.

[2463] The lawyer released it, like you said.

[2464] So they had it at the beginning.

[2465] It's so crazy that the lawyer thought that that was going to help his clients.

[2466] You know what I think?

[2467] And I don't know much about the person that shot it, but if I'm guessing, everybody's stolen out.

[2468] I think he shot the video, whoever this guy was.

[2469] It's almost like a hero video.

[2470] Look at this.

[2471] We caught a guy that burglarized, like they felt like, oh, and then the guns start going off.

[2472] Yeah.

[2473] Holy fuck.

[2474] Yeah.

[2475] Maybe.

[2476] And then the...

[2477] Vigilanteism is scary, man, because people just decide that they're right and they decide that this is the person and no due process, no trial.

[2478] None.

[2479] You're pulling up with shotguns drawn.

[2480] Like, cops don't even do that, man. They turn the lights on first.

[2481] They pull you over.

[2482] They start talking to you.

[2483] They don't pull the gun out right away when you're just jogging.

[2484] Well, some cops do.

[2485] I mean, it's happened before.

[2486] There's a lot of video of that too.

[2487] Video of that too.

[2488] But I do think, I mean, it's deep south.

[2489] I mean, hookworm territory.

[2490] Hookworm.

[2491] It's racism.

[2492] I think racism led it too, you know.

[2493] Well, it's very likely.

[2494] Yeah, it's very...

[2495] At the very least, it has to be considered as one of the main components of this sort of interaction.

[2496] Absolutely.

[2497] I just feel that, you know, anytime you bring up race, you'll have the audience that goes, oh, you got to bring up race.

[2498] But this was a black guy that got shot by two white guys with shotguns.

[2499] Let's take away race.

[2500] let's say the two guys shot a white guy that was jogging it's still wrong yeah it's still wrong it's still wrong even if you take the potential racism out take it out you got a 25 year old just kid is out jogging these guys pull out with shotguns and tell them to you know hey we want to talk to you like fuck well you've heard this some people don't even think racism is real like oh there's no racism in america well who says that i mean i've heard racist people but anybody who doesn't believe that, well, it's like saying sexism isn't real.

[2501] But they don't think it's big as it is.

[2502] You know, like, you said something at the comedy store, and it may have been in one of your specials where you were talking about something, and you said, that's only four people ago.

[2503] Yeah, the United States, 1776.

[2504] Yeah, that's only four people ago.

[2505] Three people ago.

[2506] Three people go.

[2507] So, if you think about that, right?

[2508] Three people go.

[2509] People own people.

[2510] Own people.

[2511] So you were racist, and then your kids were racist.

[2512] My dad is that third level, being black, had to go through racism.

[2513] So we're still in it.

[2514] It can't go away that fast.

[2515] It takes a long time to go away when you've got the roots of it that's still deeply embedded in these cities, right?

[2516] Yeah.

[2517] The places like Baltimore, where they had those red lines where you weren't even allowed to sell a home to someone who was black in certain districts.

[2518] Yeah.

[2519] It was illegal.

[2520] Man, my dad has a Ph .D. in nuclear physics and went to a college where he couldn't even eat at restaurants on campus.

[2521] Where was that?

[2522] He went to Oklahoma State.

[2523] You couldn't even eat at certain restaurants on campus.

[2524] What year is this?

[2525] Well, he's 75.

[2526] So, 60s?

[2527] So during the civil rights, all the riots and the fuck.

[2528] He led, my dad was in marches to try to get the local restaurant to let him in.

[2529] So it's a thing where when people go, ah, racism isn't that bad.

[2530] My dad is only 75.

[2531] Right, right.

[2532] And he went through it.

[2533] During his life time.

[2534] During his lifetime.

[2535] Right now.

[2536] So, and this is when, and this is when my dad was telling me when he was growing up, this is how great.

[2537] My dad said he didn't even know he was poor growing up because they never left the area.

[2538] They couldn't go anywhere.

[2539] Wow.

[2540] He never knew they were poor.

[2541] He never saw white people because they weren't allowed to go anywhere anyway.

[2542] So he never knew they were in poverty.

[2543] You know, I was reading this horrible story about even after slavery.

[2544] was abolished.

[2545] One of the things that they would do was they would capture black men for loitering and force them into going into labor camps.

[2546] So they would literally enforce slavery but do slavery by having them in prison and forcing them to do labor.

[2547] Now, the reason why I bring this up, right now there was a garbage strike, garbage workers strike, and so they brought in prisoners.

[2548] They kicked, find out where this is.

[2549] is.

[2550] I don't remember where it was, but I was reading it.

[2551] I was like, what in the fuck?

[2552] So these guys, the garbage men made $10 an hour.

[2553] They fired all the striking garbage men and brought in prisoners to do this.

[2554] Here it is.

[2555] Prison labor replaces striking garbage workers in New Orleans.

[2556] Stop and think about that.

[2557] They said, you know what?

[2558] You want more than $10 an hour?

[2559] I got a better idea.

[2560] We'll get people to do it for free.

[2561] So they're essentially reigniting slavery in New Orleans when it comes to taking care of garbage.

[2562] Yeah.

[2563] I mean, it's still around.

[2564] But the fact that they think that's okay, that this is like, well, I got a solution.

[2565] And the fact that you don't think someone should get more than $10 an hour to fucking take care of people's garbage.

[2566] It's insane.

[2567] It's insane.

[2568] And bringing in literally slaves.

[2569] Yeah.

[2570] Well, they shouldn't have done that.

[2571] they would be paid only 13 % of what garbage makers so the garbage workers who are only making $10 and $25 an hour so they're going to get 13 % of that which is what is that is that I got buck 50 it's lower than that it's like 75 cents right it's about a dollar probably dollar fuck maybe $1 .30 fuck I mean that's just modern day slavery it is slavery yeah I mean, giving them a dollar.

[2572] That's insane.

[2573] But some people would say, you know, they're inmates.

[2574] They did wrong.

[2575] That's right.

[2576] Hold on.

[2577] But we'll scroll back up there.

[2578] Listen to this.

[2579] Metro Services Group has long been an advocate of helping persons who had been incarcerated return to society in a meaningful and productive way, said the city sanitation services in a statement.

[2580] Metro makes no apologies for this policy as a core element of our commitment to being good corporate citizens, under state rules, prison inmates employed by metro services would be paid only 13 % of what garbage workers make.

[2581] Fuck.

[2582] What's a corporate citizen?

[2583] What does that mean?

[2584] I have no idea.

[2585] But that is so, that is so, that is so, it's weird because there's no end of the quotation marks.

[2586] I mean, did this actually, did it go through?

[2587] How long did that?

[2588] Oh, fuck.

[2589] This is happening.

[2590] Despite the use of inmates, garbage workers say they will continue to strike in New Orleans.

[2591] They have built widespread community spreads from unions and community groups, but still, that doesn't make any sense.

[2592] They have built widespread community spreads.

[2593] From unions and communities.

[2594] What a weird sentence.

[2595] From unions and community groups, but still the city has refused to meet them and discuss their safety concerns.

[2596] So they have a lot of support from unions in the community, but they won't meet with them still.

[2597] Oh, I see.

[2598] They've built widespread community.

[2599] I think they want to say have built widespread community support.

[2600] Support, yeah.

[2601] From unions and community groups.

[2602] Yeah.

[2603] They wrote spreads instead of support, I think.

[2604] And said they aren't trying to hear us.

[2605] It says Woods.

[2606] They don't care about us.

[2607] They would let anything happen.

[2608] Ugh, this is awful.

[2609] See, I mean.

[2610] If they were sick, we don't care.

[2611] They don't care if we spread the disease.

[2612] they just don't care.

[2613] Yeah, I mean, just a human being making $10 an hour to do a full -time job is fucking insane.

[2614] It's insane.

[2615] And a grown man in a union that can't get more than $10 an hour.

[2616] How fucking crazy is that?

[2617] This is what we're living in.

[2618] And I often wonder, you know, I always think about your three people go, and I go, how long is it going to take?

[2619] How many people from us is it going to take?

[2620] You know, I'm like maybe five, maybe six, if the world is.

[2621] still around?

[2622] Because there will always be racism, some racism.

[2623] Not necessarily always, because we could get to a point where we're indistinguishable, right?

[2624] Yes, I get you.

[2625] But they'll find another thing.

[2626] They'll find something else.

[2627] It'll be classism.

[2628] Classism, or it'll be a financial thing or an intelligence thing, you know, unless they get to genetic engineering, unless genetic engineering reaches a point where literally there is no disparity in human beings in terms of intelligence, looks, all those things.

[2629] But what is that going to be like?

[2630] Yeah.

[2631] There's always going to be competition.

[2632] There's always going to be weirdness, right?

[2633] There's always going to be those women that can bounce back from pregnancy quicker.

[2634] There's always going to be men like, you know, super geniuses where knuckleheads like us are scratching our head going, how the fuck did they even think of that?

[2635] I always think that every time I talk to Elon, every time I have that dude in here, I'm like, life isn't fair how's it fair i'm so much dumber than him and you know i sit down to talk to him it's like him talking to a chimp like you know it's like he's talking to a toddler like but you can lift more weights well i'll fuck him up if we had to fight to death i'm the one who's gonna walk out of the room like there you go sorry i had to kill him but he's he's so much smarter than me like it's not even close he's a large man too he's bigger than me too he's um the world's not fair right and unless we figure out a way to make it fair, which is almost impossible, there's going to be prejudice, there's going to be disparity, there's going to be some people.

[2636] Look, one thing that I talked to him about, Elon, I thought was really interesting.

[2637] He's got this new thing that he's working on called neuralink, and this neuralink is going to rapidly increase our ability to access information.

[2638] And he literally said, we're going to be able to communicate without talking.

[2639] and I had talked about this on the podcast before that we're going to be able to read each other's minds and I've said this like stoned as a joke it's not matter of what we want do you think the chimps were like do you know one day we're gonna have cars that pollute to earth the chimps like do we want that they didn't sit around think that do I get a gun?

[2640] Fuck yeah I'm gonna go to the fucking Michigan Capitol and with my gun yeah you know I mean this is just what happens whether or not we want that?

[2641] This is what happens.

[2642] And what he's saying is essentially that one day with this neuralink, you're going to have incredibly boosted powers of cognition.

[2643] You're going to be a different thing than you are now.

[2644] So my take on it was, okay, well, what would be the difference?

[2645] He goes, well, you'd have so much more access to resources, you would be able to get so much more done, you'd be so much more productive.

[2646] But what I was saying is, but what about the people who can't afford this.

[2647] The people that can afford it would get so far ahead that the people, you know, like before cell phones were around, do you remember the movie Wall Street?

[2648] Yeah, of course.

[2649] Right.

[2650] Do you remember Michael Douglas walking around with that stupid brick?

[2651] He was walking around with that big old brick.

[2652] And we're like, guys, guy's a baller.

[2653] He's on the beach and he's still talking.

[2654] Now everybody can do that.

[2655] Yeah.

[2656] But there was a long period of time, you know, years where only wealthy people had cell phones all the time.

[2657] Now everyone does.

[2658] But if Neuralink happens and some wealthy people have this insane access to resources and the insane bandwidth and this ability to communicate without words long before people like you or I get it.

[2659] If those billionaires get it first, they're going to be able to be, they'll be so far ahead of us.

[2660] And who says they have to share it?

[2661] Right.

[2662] And then forget about us.

[2663] What about really poor people?

[2664] They're going to be fucked.

[2665] They're going to be like these goddamn garbage workers.

[2666] They're scratching, trying to get more than $10 an hour.

[2667] People are, fuck you.

[2668] We'll use slaves, literal slaves.

[2669] Well, then that goes to your racism thing.

[2670] It becomes a classism thing.

[2671] Yes, it comes a classism thing.

[2672] So there's always going to be something.

[2673] Yep.

[2674] You know what I mean?

[2675] But to me, when hate is involved with it, you know, I think that's where we should draw the line.

[2676] But that's more of where I'm going is, like, how many people from us, like where it's just you don't just kill random people jogging down the street you know it's it's it's hard to imagine that that still goes on today right but then when you hear about your dad and that your dad went to college in a place where he couldn't eat the same places as white people you're like what on campus on campus yeah in his lifetime it's changing it's getting better right that that doesn't exist today and this is what I don't like and I some black people I don't want to I want to say just black people, but some black people, when they go, oh, you know, my dad hears this and he always gets mad about it.

[2677] He goes, when some black people go, it's no better than it was way back in the day.

[2678] But there goes, excuse me, you're 25 years old saying that?

[2679] I went through the shit.

[2680] It is a lot better.

[2681] It's a lot better.

[2682] I'm in my house.

[2683] I can go to any restaurant I want.

[2684] And the interracial relationship doesn't mean anything anymore.

[2685] No, it doesn't.

[2686] To most people.

[2687] Most people don't care at all.

[2688] And that's the whole thing is that my dad is like, Some black people discredit the whole journey because they try to just say, ah, it's just like it was before.

[2689] No, no, no. Have you ever read any of Stephen Pinker's work?

[2690] Stephen Pinker is a really, really brilliant guy.

[2691] And one of the things that he gets criticized for is showing how much less violent the world is today, how much less crime there is, how much less rape, how much less murder.

[2692] This is essentially the safest place, the safest time ever in human history.

[2693] and people like, you're discrediting all of the horrors that happen.

[2694] He's like, no, I'm not, no, I'm not.

[2695] I'm not dismissing all the terrible things that happen in the world.

[2696] But we're saying, even though those things do exist, they exist at a far less frequent time, far less frequently than did 100 years ago, 200 years ago, anytime throughout human history.

[2697] There's a trend, and that trend is a society is getting safer, and people are getting nicer, and people are getting, they're getting better.

[2698] We're growing and learning.

[2699] Well, I also think now, like, I'm from my family, my dad's side, I'm the first person that dealt with, like, I would say I deal with racism, but not on the scale my dad dealt with it.

[2700] And my dad didn't deal with it on the scale his father.

[2701] My grandfather dealt with it.

[2702] So it's kind of like, and I'm teaching my kids not to be that way.

[2703] So I feel like these kids that are young growing up, they're going to be so much more sensitive towards other people than we were.

[2704] for sure because we were still I wouldn't say like in it in it but we were in it like in my household you know what I mean like my dad you know would tell me stories of what happened to him and I was like wow you went through that but I went to a school in Houston Texas where I stood out my parents were the only mixed couple I was the only mixed kid at our school I believe because I didn't it wasn't even a thing you know like people go you look different they're like what like kids would come up to me go, what are you?

[2705] And I was like, Mom, what am I?

[2706] My dad was like, tell me you black and Asian.

[2707] You know, so it's what I was, but nobody on my block where interracial is either black couples or white couples.

[2708] And my parents were like, like before the trend, you know, and it's a thing where I saw what happened to my mom didn't teach me to be, my mom didn't teach me anything about my Korean heritage because people made fun of her accent.

[2709] So she didn't want me to go through that.

[2710] So she tried to Americanize me as fast as possible.

[2711] You know, my dad, he's that, I don't give a shit guy.

[2712] You know, he's like, there's ignorant people.

[2713] I don't care.

[2714] They can say what they want.

[2715] You know, his favorite word is the N -word.

[2716] You know what I mean?

[2717] So he loves to watch movies.

[2718] My dad is so crazy.

[2719] He loves to watch movies with the N -word in it.

[2720] Because he says, that's real.

[2721] That's how it really was.

[2722] I think that Leonardo DiCaprio movie with Samuel L. Jackson, the band of aid or something like that it was called.

[2723] Hateful Eighth, Hateful Eight.

[2724] Yeah.

[2725] Favorite movie.

[2726] movie.

[2727] He goes, because that's how you use the N word.

[2728] Like, they said it that normally.

[2729] Like, he loves the realness of that.

[2730] You know, so he's just crazy.

[2731] Like, he's 75.

[2732] Well, he's gone through some shit.

[2733] Yeah.

[2734] It's his different world, different world that he went through.

[2735] This is one thing that I, when, you know, people complain about social justice warriors and the, the ridiculous calling out of everything being racist and everything being sexist.

[2736] And I, I agree.

[2737] But.

[2738] The fact that that is the trend that a lot of these young people are going in, it's too far in a lot of ways, but it'll all balance out.

[2739] Like, you've got to have that sort of overwhelming left -leaning ideology and then this overwhelming right -leaning ideology for people to say, what is rational?

[2740] Yeah.

[2741] What's rational?

[2742] But the trend seems to be in a positive way.

[2743] Like, it seems to all be going in a positive way.

[2744] like it seems to be like racism is way less tolerated amongst most of the people that are in the middle most of the people that aren't crazy and aren't aren't you know aren't overly sensitive like it seems like things are balancing out yeah it's the problem is the older people we gotta kill them all yeah that's where corona is doing it but not because your mom just shook it off oh my god and talking shit like literally mom talking like you don't understand that conversation job I wish I was there oh my god hilarious oh And your dad didn't get it.

[2745] No, you didn't get it.

[2746] And didn't get an antibody test?

[2747] No, my dad only been to the doctor once.

[2748] My dad went to the doctor.

[2749] Three years ago, I was having my son, me and my wife were having our son.

[2750] And I said, Dad, I want you around for my son.

[2751] You need to go to the doctor and get a checkup.

[2752] He goes, every time I go to a doctor, all my friends go there, if you go to a doctor, you die.

[2753] Like, he feels if you see a doctor, you're going to die.

[2754] Jesus Christ.

[2755] So he's like, I'm 72 at that time.

[2756] I'm fine.

[2757] I'm not going to, but he decides to go because I beg him to.

[2758] My mom's beat breast cancer twice, throat cancer, all types of cancers.

[2759] My mom goes, calls me after his checkup, after a doctor.

[2760] She goes, nothing's wrong with him.

[2761] Like she was mad about it.

[2762] She was mad about it.

[2763] That's hilarious.

[2764] She was so mad.

[2765] She was so mad.

[2766] How did your mom get throat cancer?

[2767] Well, she had breast cancer and they, you know, they do the scan.

[2768] And they found, like, the second time, I remember we had.

[2769] having this big thing because she beat it once.

[2770] I was younger.

[2771] And I didn't really understand it.

[2772] You know, I was like nine.

[2773] So you don't grasp it.

[2774] But at 31 really hurt me and she's really into Jesus.

[2775] And I go, well, that's messed up.

[2776] A lot of Koreans.

[2777] Very, very Christian.

[2778] I mean, she's super religious.

[2779] So I said, mom, how at that time I was a different person?

[2780] I was like, your God you know, gave you breast cancer again.

[2781] How's that good?

[2782] And she goes, well, if I wouldn't have got breast cancer, I wouldn't have known I had throat cancer.

[2783] You know, so she found the positive of it.

[2784] Whoa.

[2785] Yeah, so that's the only reason she knew she had throat cancer.

[2786] But you're like, but wait a minute.

[2787] God gave you that too.

[2788] What the fuck?

[2789] She was in a hospital.

[2790] I don't want to argue with a joke.

[2791] I get it.

[2792] I get it.

[2793] I get it.

[2794] But it's a thing where my mom calling me was so funny because she was so mad that my dad didn't have something.

[2795] That's so funny.

[2796] She was so angry.

[2797] And he's only been to that.

[2798] And like, I'm 45 now.

[2799] In my 45 years, that's the first time he's gone to the doctor.

[2800] And is your dad active?

[2801] Does he exercise?

[2802] He walks two hours every day.

[2803] Oh, that's great.

[2804] On his treadmill and he watches all these Netflix shows.

[2805] Oh, that's great.

[2806] Yeah.

[2807] That's a great way to do it, too.

[2808] Yeah.

[2809] Because you're on a treadmill, you don't even notice what's going on.

[2810] You know, like if you're watching something, if you're watching something entertaining, like I was saying, I was watching Tiger King while I was getting an NAD drip.

[2811] You don't even know?

[2812] As long as you're watching something, I learned that when Ari and Tom and Bert and I did that Sob -October thing?

[2813] Yeah.

[2814] Like you could get so much more cardio done while you're watching a movie.

[2815] Absolutely.

[2816] You don't even notice.

[2817] So my dad walks at two, you know, the speed two, and he walks for two hours and watching shows.

[2818] So about six months ago, my mom calls me, your dad flew off the treadmill.

[2819] So he walks in his underwear.

[2820] I'm finding all this stuff.

[2821] He walks in his underwear.

[2822] And he accidentally wasn't paying attention.

[2823] And he hit the one before the two.

[2824] It went 12.

[2825] Oh, no, that's so fast.

[2826] So he's on here, and he flew on.

[2827] Oh, my dad's whole leg was just shredded, like, scars and everything.

[2828] Oh, my God.

[2829] Oh, my God.

[2830] So, you know me. I started sending him emojis of people flying on.

[2831] But he's back on it.

[2832] I was like, Dad, you need to get a step or something.

[2833] He's like, no, I'm a walk.

[2834] So he's back on it, though.

[2835] Wow.

[2836] He's crazy.

[2837] Like my dad is a no shit type of guy.

[2838] And he's that dude like when I die, I die.

[2839] You know, I don't care where you put me. You should get your dad on a podcast.

[2840] Oh, I'm going to get my parents on mine.

[2841] Yeah.

[2842] Has your dad been on before?

[2843] Not yet, but they talk so much shit to each other.

[2844] Like, it's amazing.

[2845] Like on my Instagram, there's videos of them.

[2846] Like, they're in an argument.

[2847] My dad is telling my mom.

[2848] That's Korean that Asian people don't know how to drive.

[2849] And they're just arguing about it.

[2850] On the Instagram?

[2851] Oh, yeah.

[2852] On your Instagram?

[2853] Do you have that up there?

[2854] It's somewhere on there.

[2855] It's probably deeper.

[2856] Tell people to find it.

[2857] Yeah, it's on there.

[2858] But my mom is like, yeah, Asian people can't drive, but Korean people can't drive.

[2859] He's like, that's the same damn thing.

[2860] You know?

[2861] So that's, ever since I was growing up, that's their relationship.

[2862] That's hilarious.

[2863] It's so fun.

[2864] So they've always been talking to that.

[2865] They're one -upers, man. That's so funny.

[2866] It's so funny that she was mad that he didn't have anything wrong with him.

[2867] Oh, angry.

[2868] The way she said it, Joe, the way she said it, she goes, hey, so we got Reservoir.

[2869] subs, your dad not sick at all.

[2870] He had nothing wrong with him.

[2871] I'm like, Mom, you should be happy about this.

[2872] They're crazy.

[2873] That's hilarious.

[2874] They're crazy.

[2875] They're crazy.

[2876] But the world's crazy right now, but I, you know, I just hope it gets better.

[2877] I just hope we can get, I don't want to sound like Rodney King.

[2878] It's going to take some time.

[2879] It's going to take longer than everybody thinks.

[2880] I think everybody thinks it's going to all clean up real quick.

[2881] I don't think so.

[2882] I think we're in this for a couple of years.

[2883] The corona?

[2884] Yeah, that's what I think.

[2885] Yeah, 100%.

[2886] But my thing about opening up the country is it's not about you opening up the country.

[2887] I just don't feel in a lot of places people are comfortable even going out.

[2888] Like, I wouldn't go to a restaurant in L .A. right now.

[2889] I would.

[2890] Yeah?

[2891] Yeah.

[2892] I think people are going to get used to it.

[2893] I think people need to, for sure, need to take care of their immune system.

[2894] Yeah.

[2895] Very important.

[2896] And people need to educate themselves.

[2897] and we need to understand the value of your health because for the longest time when we didn't have something like this there's a lot of people that are like barely hanging on health -wise and any little thing can set them off but but when I say go to a restaurant I got to go with a five -month -year -old year old oh that's a different animal like yeah that's what I'm talking about me yeah I'm not talking about the whole family yeah but yeah I'm not no way would I take a five -month -old I think your your real concern for sure is people that have issues that's the real concern and the real concern is coming home like you know your mom shook it off but some mom's not you know some some older folks are not going to you know we got to do our best to shield them and hopefully that the rems desivir how do you say that shit yeah they're testing that right now yeah apparently they're that is really helping and it's people are recovering 31 % faster but it's not stopping you from dying that's if you're gonna recover it recovers you like if you're I don't know that's true no it's true it's true it's not stopping you from it's it's basically helping people that would recover anyway like if if you took 14 days of recover it channel it changes it to 11 but what if they get it to you early before the virus has a chance to expand they're saying it's not stopping death it's just helping the people that would recover recover faster which is great yeah because they can get back out that's the last I heard but like I said things change all the time what you said about what is this, Jay?

[2898] Oh, my God.

[2899] I'm trying to get it free to see you now.
