[0] Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

[1] The Joe Rogan Experience.

[2] Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

[3] Do it.

[4] Headphones?

[5] Why not?

[6] I can't live without the headphones.

[7] Every time someone doesn't want to wear headphones, I'm like, okay.

[8] We don't have to.

[9] You know, some people don't want to mess their hair up.

[10] We don't have that problem.

[11] Yeah.

[12] That's my hat look.

[13] It looks good.

[14] I like it.

[15] I like them Paperboy hats.

[16] Yeah.

[17] I love those.

[18] My favorite hats.

[19] Yeah.

[20] Yeah.

[21] Well, the reason I do it is because I started wearing hats because after the show, people would take photos with me with my shaved head, and the light would just bounce off my chrome, and you couldn't see me in the photo.

[22] So I realized that I wore baseball caps, but then when you're on stage, it puts a shadow over your face.

[23] Right.

[24] Can't see your face.

[25] So I started wearing these.

[26] Yeah, I love those.

[27] I like shaving the head, though.

[28] I started during the pandemic.

[29] Yeah, you should have done that long time ago.

[30] What's that side hair bullshit?

[31] I know.

[32] I know.

[33] It's nonsense.

[34] Feel so much better like this.

[35] Also, you have to go to a barber?

[36] Right.

[37] And listen to some stupid stories.

[38] Oh, shit.

[39] Fuck off.

[40] Dude, when I was a teenager, there was a place in New York called this.

[41] It was called the Stag Brothers.

[42] And there was these two Italian brothers.

[43] And they cut hair.

[44] And you go in there and they had the reason we all went.

[45] Like our moms would drop us off out front.

[46] We go inside.

[47] And then they had penthouse magazines while you waited.

[48] So you hope that you got to wait for a while.

[49] And then they call you And like you got your little 15 year old direction You're trying to hide Put the cape over me Cover me I always felt like barbershops Where guys hung out That's all just for people Don't play pool That was always my thought My thought Like I see what you're doing Like you're getting a guy's place Where guys can hang out and just talk Right But this is not the way to do it Because people come in People you don't know come in You can't tell some dirty story You know, you can't, you can't, you know what I mean?

[50] Yeah.

[51] It's like.

[52] That seems to be big in the black culture.

[53] I mean, obviously there's those movies, barbershop, but I mean, it really is a place that people hang out.

[54] But now you got cigar.

[55] Do you like hanging out in cigar shops?

[56] Yeah, cigar bars are good.

[57] Yeah.

[58] I like it.

[59] Because it's one of the rare places where you go to a cigar.

[60] I used to love that place, the Grand Havana Room in Beverly Hills.

[61] It's a great room.

[62] People had their own humidors in there?

[63] Yeah, I had a humidor for a long time.

[64] And you could eat.

[65] like nice meals and smoke a cigar because it's a private club so you could have a steak, some pasta and you're smoking a cigar at the table and everybody's doing it.

[66] That's awesome.

[67] Yeah, it was cool.

[68] And it was a cool place.

[69] You're like, oh, look at that guy.

[70] Because it was in Beverly Hills.

[71] Oh, it was a power spot.

[72] I remember like Michael Rotenberg, remember from Three Arts, Dave Becky.

[73] He brought me there once and he had the humidor and he was just pointing up.

[74] He was like, yeah, that guy owns Warner Brothers.

[75] Yeah.

[76] That dude is a eight -picture deal over Columbia.

[77] Yeah.

[78] You know who I saw there once that I was kind of Starstruck?

[79] Remember that dude from, what is the New York Blues?

[80] What was it that NYPD Blue?

[81] Remember NYPD Blue?

[82] Yeah, yeah.

[83] What's the dude's name?

[84] Jimmy Smith?

[85] No, no, no, no. The first guy?

[86] The first guy.

[87] Oh, yeah.

[88] Dennis Franz?

[89] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The red -headed guy.

[90] Oh, yeah.

[91] Oh, yeah.

[92] He ended up quitting to get a movie career that never happens.

[93] Fuck, man. They, I tell, I think they tanked that guy.

[94] Yes, what the fuck's name?

[95] The guy was good, man. No, he quit because he thought he had a big movie career.

[96] But this is the thing.

[97] But you can't do that.

[98] What's the guy's name, though?

[99] No, not that guy.

[100] That's Andy Sippewicz.

[101] Or that's the character he played, right?

[102] But the other guy.

[103] Jesus Christ.

[104] This is...

[105] David Caruso.

[106] Is that his name?

[107] No, that's the guy who produced the show, right?

[108] Oh, I don't know.

[109] Is that his name?

[110] David Caruso.

[111] It is his name, right?

[112] Maybe.

[113] What, doesn't say the cast down there?

[114] Yeah.

[115] Yep, that's what he was like that.

[116] Oh, he had David Caruso.

[117] Oh, it came down hard on him.

[118] Oh.

[119] It came down hard on him.

[120] That guy should have been a giant movie star.

[121] Yeah.

[122] Dude, he was really good on that show.

[123] But if you have that thing where you're like, fuck this, I'm quitting.

[124] to be a star bro they want you to fucking fall flat on your face they're like fuck this guy yeah there's like 15 more guys like you in theater school right now 15 more troubled guys from the inner city you know that have a gritty past and scars on their face go fuck yourself and that's what they did to that guy yeah also he's a redhead name name a lot of redhead leading men but he could have been the guy could have been the first one one guy gets cocky we had our guy We had our major leave.

[125] We had our fucking guy, man. And instead, they started the phrase, the word ginger, and took them all down.

[126] That was brutal.

[127] They were just redheads before that.

[128] It was normal to be a redhead.

[129] You weren't a freak.

[130] No. You were just a person with red hair.

[131] No one cared.

[132] Now they beat you up.

[133] There's literally like bullying if you're a redhead.

[134] I was a redhead.

[135] Were you really?

[136] I was a fucking copper top until I was probably about 11.

[137] That's so bizarre.

[138] Your hair change color?

[139] Yep.

[140] How weird is that?

[141] It happened to my kids, too.

[142] Both my kids were redheads, and their hair changed when they got older.

[143] It's God letting you know, I could have fucked you.

[144] But I'm going to let you sly.

[145] It's like he got me in a headlock.

[146] Yeah, I'll let me out.

[147] Yeah, right.

[148] Ooh.

[149] He gave me a little dick, and then it grew bigger.

[150] Oh.

[151] I remember having a little dick?

[152] Oh, no. Oh, that was the worst feeling when you were a little kid.

[153] You know, you just like...

[154] Well, you see your dad's dick.

[155] You're like, what the fuck?

[156] I know.

[157] What is that thing?

[158] the fuck and why is it always hard men's dicks like when you're a boy they're terrifying like oh like you see some guy pull out his fucking this sausage roll when he's pissing right next to you and you're a little kid you're like what the fuck does he do with that thing and his balls are hanging like six inches down like Ari's balls or Joey Diaz's balls or Joey Diaz's balls are like grapefruit and old ladies pantios like what the fuck am I looking at those are your balls His balls look like him Just like cartoonish He's just saggy Fucking hilarious His balls are hilarious Oh my God Balls are hilarious Joey's balls are hilarious It's amazing that a woman Why would they have sex with us Our penis is Everything about us is gross Yeah We're not soft No We're not squeezable and lovable We're not comforting we're grunting We have an agenda Yeah Thick dense heavy thing on top of you that can kill you and you want it to fuck you What?

[159] Right Why do they trust us?

[160] Trusting us to not kill you?

[161] Yeah, I know Imagine like if every woman could kill you.

[162] All of them.

[163] Every woman that you ever date can literally just strangle you to death and not a damn thing you can do about it.

[164] That's what's like being a woman.

[165] Well, or a gay guy.

[166] Well, gay guys can be strong.

[167] No, and I'm just saying it's weird that there is this accepted power dynamic between a man and a woman when they make love because well like you said the woman trusts but we have two guys it's kind of like I don't know what it's like but I think it's like you know what it's like son of a bitch you were just about to tell me what it was like you're about to break you know I almost did once right how close did you get I've told this story on my podcast but I'll give a brief version of it I went uh when I was in college, I was an English major, and I studied, like, Alan Ginsberg and Kerouac and all these guys that were into homerotic stuff.

[168] A lot of them were gay, and then, and even Emerson and Whitman, like, all that old stuff.

[169] It was all gay imagery.

[170] And then there was David Bowie.

[171] I loved David Bowie.

[172] I loved Iggy Pop, Mick Jagger, and these guys were all fucking around with each other.

[173] Yeah.

[174] And so I was like, all right, this must be kind of something you do.

[175] You experiment with this.

[176] That's how they get you.

[177] That's how they get you.

[178] They get a couple of mascots.

[179] They get the coolest guy in rock and roll.

[180] Right?

[181] The three coolest guys in rock.

[182] Ziggy Stardust.

[183] Yeah.

[184] And so I was not attracted to men.

[185] I never have been.

[186] I can appreciate a handsome man. I think you're not hard on the eyes.

[187] Thank you.

[188] And then I was like, all right, so I guess I'm not going to take it up the ass, but, you know.

[189] Maybe kiss a little bit.

[190] No, I don't even want to do that.

[191] Suck a cock.

[192] Suck a cock.

[193] And then I realize, like, I'm going to do it.

[194] And when I do it, it's either going to be like, like, ugh, or it's going to be like, oh my God, this is fucking amazing.

[195] This is incredible.

[196] That's what I've been missing.

[197] And so I was drunk one night.

[198] I was like a junior in college.

[199] And my apartment, remember the Fenway in Boston?

[200] Yeah, yeah.

[201] The Fenway was like a wooded area.

[202] Like every city has a small wooded area where they grow trees for the reason for anonymous gay sex.

[203] The brambles in Manhattan.

[204] You got Griffith Park in L .A. There's always like a little gay area.

[205] So my apartment happened to be.

[206] It was on Boylson Street.

[207] It was across the street from the Fenway.

[208] So I'm stumbling home one night.

[209] It's like three in the morning.

[210] And I look at the woods and I go, fuck it.

[211] I'm going to do it.

[212] Wow.

[213] So I walk in and I'm looking around and like, I don't know the protocol.

[214] I don't know how it works.

[215] I'm just waiting.

[216] And then all of a sudden it's like fucking leaves are blowing and the shadows.

[217] And then this guy just pops out from behind a tree like a little gay leprechaun.

[218] He's like, I'm the guy.

[219] I was like, all right, I guess he's the guy.

[220] Wow.

[221] And he walks over, and we look at each other, and then he unzips his pants.

[222] He pulls out his cock, and I'm just looking at it, and then he pulls his balls out.

[223] And I look at the balls, and I was like, nope.

[224] No interest.

[225] I'm fucking out.

[226] That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life.

[227] And so I got scared because now I'm alone in the woods with a guy with his dick out, and so I just pushed him away from me. Oh, Jesus.

[228] And he fell down and then he jumped up and he just sprinted back into the woods with his dick flopping around.

[229] I just stumbled out and I was like, well, I guess I can't do that.

[230] Ow!

[231] Ow!

[232] That's a poison ivy the next day.

[233] What people used to do when they didn't have covers over their dick and they had to run through the woods?

[234] Right.

[235] Like that's a real problem, man. Yeah.

[236] Wow.

[237] Ow!

[238] Like, how many, if you have pants on and you run through the woods, your dick gets whacked by twigs and shit, but it's kind of okay.

[239] And the vagina's got protection.

[240] It's got curtains and walls and blinds.

[241] A girl got kicked in the pussy the other day in a UFC fight.

[242] And sorry for using a term pussy.

[243] Ladies, in this term, it's really not a pussy.

[244] It's a woman's vagina, right?

[245] Cage fighter.

[246] Yes.

[247] And they went down and, you know, they stopped the fight and give the person time to recover.

[248] And I thought about it.

[249] I was like, that's interesting.

[250] Because I guess it's just you can't hit genitals.

[251] But there's a giant difference between balls.

[252] And girls can take a pretty good shot to the pussy.

[253] Yeah, unfortunately.

[254] Yeah.

[255] Yeah, like if they fall and it hurts, just like it hurts your ass bone.

[256] Yeah.

[257] It hurts if you, you know, you hurt your dick.

[258] Your dad hurts.

[259] But the balls, that thing, like I was trying to explain to my wife and daughters were asking me what it's like to get kicked in the balls.

[260] And I was like, I've been kicking the balls a hundred times, at least.

[261] I've been kicking the ball so many times because I grew up.

[262] kicking.

[263] Yeah.

[264] So I got kicked in the balls by dudes who were really good at kicking.

[265] Yeah.

[266] Like I, there was been many times in my life where I wasn't sure if my dick was going to work anymore.

[267] Right.

[268] Like one time I got kicked in the ball so bad that one of my nuts swole up.

[269] So my right nut, I think it was my right nut, it was in a tournament.

[270] Yeah.

[271] I threw a kick and this guy threw a kick under my kick and slammed it into my cup.

[272] And this is guy from the Korean national team.

[273] He was really good.

[274] He kicked me fucking hard.

[275] They gave me time out.

[276] I continued the fight, but I knew it really hurt.

[277] I lost the fight.

[278] And then as I was driving home, I was with my girlfriend.

[279] And I was thinking at the time, I was like, I don't know if this thing works anymore.

[280] Yeah.

[281] Because it was so painful.

[282] So I got home and jerked off.

[283] And as soon as I jerked off.

[284] I'm like, oh, we're good.

[285] Wow.

[286] Yeah.

[287] It works.

[288] That was the best orgasm in your life.

[289] So that's the weird thing about the cup, isn't it?

[290] I've done that.

[291] This is how stupid I am.

[292] I've done that twice.

[293] Another time I got kneeed in the dick, I was doing jiu -jitsu and I didn't have a cup on the last time I trained without a cup on.

[294] This guy was passing my guard and it's a standard technique because he wasn't doing it maliciously.

[295] You shove your knees through the guard when someone's passing your guard.

[296] The guard is the leg.

[297] so your legs are wrapped around a person.

[298] You're trying to work a submission from the bottom, and they're trying to pass to get to a better...

[299] Because in the guard, it's very difficult to submit someone when you're in their guard.

[300] You want to get out of their guard, and that's a more dominant position to submit.

[301] So he's trying to pass my guard, so he shoves his knee through, and his knee caught my dick flat.

[302] Just, like, smashed my dick.

[303] I'm like, ah!

[304] It fucking hurt like hell.

[305] But I didn't think anything of it.

[306] It was, like, kind of normal for that stuff to happen when you're training hard.

[307] with guys who are really good.

[308] And then afterwards I go to the locker room and there's blood in my jock strap.

[309] Oh, my God, fuck.

[310] So my dick is bleeding out my dick hole.

[311] So I'm like, okay, what would I do if this is my nose?

[312] I was like, I would just go home.

[313] It's just a bloody nose.

[314] Like, am I being a pussy because it's my dick?

[315] It's a bloody dick.

[316] Let's just like, we'll give it the night.

[317] And if it feels bad tomorrow, we'll go to the doctor.

[318] So I get home and I'm like, well, how do I know if it?

[319] works so i jerked off i jerked off and blood came out with it yeah and i did this how because i did it kind of clinical because i want to know so i did it into the toilet so i jerked off into the toilet that while i'm doing like what the fuck is wrong with you you're so you're so broken you're such a crazy person and then i was like i think works it's all good And so the next day Make sure I didn't get infected Next day I was like Just checking Make sure everything's good Didn't hurt Did you jerk off again?

[320] No I'll let it go for a couple days Just leave it alone Yeah I didn't want it to be sore But it was fine It was fine So some blood vessel Burst just like it would burst In your mouth Yeah I get fat lips all the time And you know he's getting Cuts in somewhere I just treat it like that But it was scary I wonder if I hurt that guy's dick In the woods that night Probably branches Just whack that thing.

[321] Ow!

[322] Fucking squirrels thinking it's nuts diving at it.

[323] Imagine a fucking gopher just grab it a hold of your dick.

[324] A gopher.

[325] They could chew through a tree.

[326] You know people have died from gophers before?

[327] No. Yes.

[328] A lady died recently.

[329] She got bit by a gopher.

[330] Just bled out.

[331] Wow.

[332] Bro, they chew through trees.

[333] And their teeth never stop growing.

[334] They have to chew on things to wear their teeth out.

[335] Yeah.

[336] Otherwise it will just go right through their fucking face.

[337] Yeah, Gophers will fuck.

[338] We went upstate.

[339] We just had my 25th anniversary this month.

[340] Congratulations.

[341] Thank you.

[342] So we went up to Vermont and upstate New York, me and my wife.

[343] It's beautiful.

[344] Oh, my God.

[345] Except for the people.

[346] Other than that, it's beautiful.

[347] Yeah, we didn't see a lot of them.

[348] People are odd.

[349] We saw very few people.

[350] People that live in those states are odd.

[351] We went to a farmer's market.

[352] 50 people.

[353] Yeah.

[354] They're odd.

[355] We were staying in a little town.

[356] Some friends of mine moved out there.

[357] They kind of retired and decided to take up farming so they moved out to this farm in vermont in vermont they look like they're from vermont too right they all look like you could pick them out of a lineup well we went to the farmers market and it really was like it was like a caricature it's like that you know the dudes that look like you if you push them they would just crumble they have like burkenstocks on everybody looks like bernie sanders everyone's got tie -dye shirts on and it's just like good for you guys you got your spot yeah they got a spot you right here you just got to tolerate the winters yeah If you could tell Earth the Winters, you're in, like, the most over progressive, like, but really kind for the most part.

[358] It's like an idyllic sort of environment if you're, yeah, there's douchebags everywhere you go.

[359] No, and they're, like, involved with all this communal farming.

[360] They're kind of people.

[361] Yeah, they all pitch in, they help each other out.

[362] Like, my friends have a bunch of land, so they let these other farmers graze their animals on the land.

[363] And, dude, then we went up into the woods, and my friends become an expert on hunting for mushrooms.

[364] Oh, Jesus.

[365] You ever do that?

[366] Those people will get you killed.

[367] Oh, yeah.

[368] Because there's some that look good and they're not.

[369] I know.

[370] There's a whole nursing home incident a few years back.

[371] Some guys are, I'm an expert mushroom picker.

[372] Got some mushrooms and cooked them up for everybody, and they all died.

[373] No. Yeah.

[374] Some of them will kill you quick.

[375] Yeah, we stuck to the Chanterelles.

[376] Yeah, those are obvious.

[377] Morels are real obvious.

[378] Those are great.

[379] Then they have these ones called lobster mushrooms that actually look like lobster, and they taste like lobster.

[380] Really?

[381] Yeah, it's freaky.

[382] Did you eat him with butter?

[383] We sliced them up and sauteed them.

[384] We had them with pasta.

[385] Wow.

[386] There it is.

[387] Sacramento B. In addition to the untimely deaths of Barbara Lopez and Teresa, try saying that name, Alice in Newitz.

[388] Four others were sickened after they're given a wild mushroom soup prepared by a caregiver who also consumed the poisonous potech.

[389] Caregiver and three elderly residents were hospitalized.

[390] Boy, that guy's never cooking for them again.

[391] Fuck.

[392] You can get really sick from mushrooms, really sick.

[393] Like, you could die, like, quickly from some of them.

[394] Some of them are super toxic.

[395] When you think about with the death penalty, how they can never fucking do it, they zap people and they survive or they shoot them up and they survive.

[396] And it's like, give them some fuck.

[397] Oh, it happens all the time.

[398] Really?

[399] I thought they all just died.

[400] No. A lot of times they fuck up and they have to do a few passes.

[401] Isn't it funny that they don't shoot them?

[402] Yeah.

[403] So I'm saying, there's so many ways to kill somebody effectively.

[404] Yeah.

[405] You just need a tarp and a shotgun.

[406] Yeah.

[407] And it's over.

[408] And like the old days, the shooting squads, only one person would have live ammunition so that nobody felt the guilt.

[409] You'd have like four or five shooters.

[410] And they didn't tell you who was the live round.

[411] Oh, really?

[412] Yeah.

[413] I thought it was a couple guys had duds.

[414] Yeah, because you need more than one guy.

[415] What if that one guy just hits him in the ear like the guy did Trump?

[416] Yeah, I know.

[417] And the guy's like, what the fuck is going on?

[418] You all missed?

[419] This is crazy.

[420] Maybe the God has spoken.

[421] Yeah.

[422] God has said, I shouldn't be killed.

[423] I said some of these action movies, you see them fucking running around shooting at each other.

[424] And you go like, wait a minute, this guy was just on a rooftop with a sight, hitting somebody from 300 yards away.

[425] And now he can't hit him from, he's fucking running down the street, and they're missing each other with 20 shots.

[426] A lot harder, though.

[427] A lot harder.

[428] Yeah.

[429] A sniper shot.

[430] is all just about not having any excess movement.

[431] Right.

[432] And controlling your breath.

[433] So when a sniper shoots, they're prone for the most part, meaning they're lined down.

[434] So you cut out all the movement.

[435] Yeah.

[436] Your shoulders rested.

[437] Do you ever see you like a sniper shoot?

[438] Their shoulders rested.

[439] You know, they have the stock pressed against their body, and all they're doing is controlling this finger and not flinching and controlling their breathing and keeping that.

[440] Because, you know, a lot of these guys can shoot from a mile away now.

[441] Insane.

[442] A mile away.

[443] And do they factor in gravity on the bullet?

[444] They factor in a bunch of different things.

[445] A lot of times they're using apps.

[446] You can use an app.

[447] And you also use an app for the wind.

[448] So you want to know which way the wind's blowing and where to hold.

[449] And then you have a scope that's dialed out, like it's zeroed out at a very specific yard.

[450] it's, whatever it is, so you can just put the cross here wherever it is.

[451] A lot of times if someone's hunting, they would do it like zeroed out at 100 yards.

[452] So it effectively would be up or down, maybe four inches and 300 yards or 400 yards.

[453] Wow.

[454] Yeah, so a really fast shooting, flat shooting rifle, you zero them out.

[455] So this guy's got to zero this thing out at a fucking, how many thousand yards is a mile?

[456] How long is that?

[457] What is that in yards?

[458] Twelve.

[459] Eighth.

[460] Twelve.

[461] 12 so I've heard of guys shooting 1500 yard shots 15 no shit yeah so there's so much equipment it has to be so dialed in and I mean they're they're citing in these things on ranges and it's so specific it's 1700 sorry 1700 okay that's so crazy that's so far away that's so far away you can barely see it so they're looking to this insane scope on this rifle And they've got this crosser on some dude's head that's a mile away.

[462] And they go, boom.

[463] And then you just wait.

[464] Takes a second.

[465] Yeah.

[466] I think it takes two seconds.

[467] How many seconds does it take for, let's say, a 300 wind mag.

[468] 300 wind mag at 1 ,700 yards.

[469] A standard, like, high -powered rifle round that they would use.

[470] I don't know if that's what they would use for snipers.

[471] like those guys are very the long range guys are very different than any other kind of shooter yeah they're all about the the science and the tech and all the stuff that's involved in getting the win right i have a buddy of mine who does long range shooting he's not a tactically just a gun enthusiast who likes long range shooting does competitions yeah and they just shoot steel and you hear boom think it's like quite a long while afterwards yeah so like if you're shooting animal and it's walking, it's super unethical.

[472] Yeah.

[473] Because you don't know what that thing's going to do.

[474] And the time between you shooting the gun and with a bow and arrow, you never shoot at a walking animal.

[475] Okay.

[476] Because they're moving.

[477] Right.

[478] Or if you do, you have to be a real expert and you would lead.

[479] You would like shoot them in the front of the shoulder to get into the vitals as they're walking.

[480] But that's like, that's an added element of who, anything can happen.

[481] How much adjusting do you do when you're shooting the crossbow like as far as wind and distance crossbows are a little bit more accurate and they shoot a bolt instead of an arrow so it's smaller and it's probably because it's smaller it's not going to have as much effect by wind it's going to have less to move around less mass to move around they're very fast though those bolts are way faster than an arrow like an arrow if you have a really fast bow, your arrow's probably going to go between 300 and 340 feet per second.

[482] That's normal.

[483] That's normal for like a high speed bow.

[484] But for a crossbow, what's the fastest crossbow?

[485] I bet it's like 500 plus.

[486] And then you also have a scope on a crossbow and a trigger.

[487] It's much more accurate.

[488] Like you could just put that thing on a bang, bang, bank, You know, it's way more accurate out, like, at 100 yards.

[489] And you can go pop, pop, pop, fast?

[490] Nah, you can't.

[491] No, you'd have to reload it.

[492] I was just...

[493] Oh, you reload each shot?

[494] Yeah, you have to reload a shot.

[495] There's one guy who invented a thing for a compound bow.

[496] It's kind of crazy.

[497] It's like, it's all these arrows stacked in.

[498] He's got, like, this device, and you draw it back, and you can shoot one arrow after another.

[499] 600 feet per second.

[500] That's like when you took me shooting.

[501] Remember when we went shooting up in the valley at that guy's ranch?

[502] Yes.

[503] And he had a, it was a shotgun, but he set it up like an AK -47, so you could go, you could shoot a shotgun, but like, pop -p -p -p -p -p -p -p -p -p -p -pup.

[504] Yeah, Territical.

[505] Yeah.

[506] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[507] Dude, that was the crazy.

[508] You're like, you want to shoot tomorrow?

[509] I was like, yeah, I figured we're going to some range with a bunch of, you know, yuppies, shoot, and in I -zodd shirts and flip -flops, and I walk out, and we drive down.

[510] I get off the highway.

[511] Get to a dirt road, down the dirt road, get to a fucking dirt driveway.

[512] I'm like, where the fuck are we going?

[513] And we get to this place.

[514] And it's Ukrainian chicks in yoga shorts and, like, crop tops.

[515] And they are the most bad ass.

[516] They are fucking master shots.

[517] Yeah.

[518] And we get down there and what's the guy's name that runs it?

[519] Yeah.

[520] Holy shit.

[521] He taught Keanu Reeves for all the John Wick movies.

[522] He taught Hallie Berry when she was in John Wick.

[523] He teaches anytime, like, a celebrity needs to learn how to look like a real assassin, they go to that guy.

[524] Yeah.

[525] He's a multiple -time champion.

[526] And those, you know, when they do those, they have a course and you run the course and, you know, like, teep.

[527] And they time you know, da -da -da -da -da -da -da.

[528] That guy wins all those fucking things.

[529] Really?

[530] Oh, he's a wizard.

[531] Yeah.

[532] He's, like, revered for his prowess with a gun.

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

[534] He's just a psycho.

[535] And what about the women?

[536] Where do they come from?

[537] I think that's his social media ploy.

[538] And then a lot of those women are real actual competitors.

[539] They do those same sort of competitions.

[540] They just happen to be tense.

[541] Have you ever seen those gun competitions?

[542] No. Well, they're fun to watch.

[543] See if you can find one of those where they run a course.

[544] So they time them and it's all about accuracy and speed.

[545] But if you're a hot chick and you can get involved in something that's up, like primarily male thing.

[546] Like, what is the ratio of male gun enthusiasts to female gun enthusiasts?

[547] Is it seven to three?

[548] Like, what do you?

[549] Oh, way more.

[550] I'm being nice.

[551] Yeah, you're being very nice.

[552] So if you're a hot chick in yoga shorts and you're also awesome with a gun, you get a lot of attention.

[553] No, one of the biggest social media accounts is this girl who's a rich, she's super hot, full -figured golfer.

[554] Oh, of course.

[555] Oh, she's huge.

[556] Of course, yes.

[557] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[558] Yeah, if you can get, if you're hot in that world, you know, a world of, like, dopey men, that's a great ploy.

[559] It's a good move.

[560] It's like being one of those women that attracts feet, like Cher or Bet Midler.

[561] That attracts gay guys?

[562] They attracts gay guys.

[563] That's the best draw.

[564] Chelsea Handler.

[565] Like, they all get all these gay guys showing up.

[566] And they spend money.

[567] They got that, you know, no children money.

[568] kicking around in their pockets.

[569] No children money is real money.

[570] Although now most have children.

[571] Do you know that those guys get divorced the least?

[572] I love that.

[573] That's amazing.

[574] The ratio is, correct me if I'm wrong, with male -female, it's like 50%, but it's skewed.

[575] It's not really 50%.

[576] What it is is a lot of people are serial divorces.

[577] Okay.

[578] So they get married and get divorced, get married and get divorced.

[579] Like the amount of people that stay together It's probably higher than 50 % But there's a bunch of Jennifer Lopez is out there Fucking up the curve You know There's a bunch of people that get like four or five marriages Five, six, seven marriages People are out of their minds, right?

[580] Then there's lesbians That's real high That's like 70 plus percent Of divorced Yeah 70 plus percent But then there's gay guys Gay guys I think it's 26 % divorce ratio No shit Yep super low Dude, because you get to hang out with a dude!

[581] You get to hang out, I would love to marry you.

[582] We would have such a good time.

[583] We have so much fun.

[584] We'd have fun all the time.

[585] It's just like chicken out every time it was time to suck your dick.

[586] I'd be like, sorry, man. I don't like how that thing looks.

[587] You'd be like, shit.

[588] You should have dressed my balls up nice for Greg.

[589] Yeah, gay guys, they're hanging out with guys.

[590] I mean, I joked around about it at my special, like, that I wish I was gay.

[591] Because it's like If that's what you liked Like you're hanging out with a bunch of guys Sounds fun As long as they're not annoying Right You know Because an annoying Like An annoying girl is not as annoying as an annoying guy Annoying guys They can be a real problem Like agro annoying guys Yeah They're the worst They're worse than anything Because you never feel comfortable Yeah You're like always in the state of Oh God They're always trying to one up everybody Something could happen here Yeah.

[592] Something stupid.

[593] This guy could break a bottle and drink from it.

[594] You know, there's morons out there.

[595] Annoying guys are dangerous.

[596] Uh -huh.

[597] Anoying girls are just usually just annoying.

[598] Right.

[599] Just an annoying human.

[600] They don't have that element of this could be dangerous.

[601] That's a good point.

[602] Yeah.

[603] Especially if they're big.

[604] Big drunk guys are scary.

[605] They get those gopher eyes, their pupils go away.

[606] They just look like a fucking zombie.

[607] I wonder what the stats are I'm drunk.

[608] Drunk driving between men and women.

[609] I bet it's so much higher with dudes.

[610] I don't know.

[611] Because a lot of girls like, I can fucking do it.

[612] I can fucking do it.

[613] Yeah.

[614] You know?

[615] But then men are like, oh, I'm not even drunk, bro.

[616] Yeah.

[617] My dad used to drunk drive.

[618] Crazy.

[619] He crashed a car into a tree and died, and they brought him back to life.

[620] He's in an emergency room for weeks.

[621] Men are four times more drunk driving.

[622] Four times more drunk driving related accidents than women.

[623] Drunk male drivers cause 80 % of the drunk driving fatalities documented.

[624] Holy shit.

[625] Eighty -one percent of people arrested for drunk driving were men.

[626] Only 19 % were women.

[627] How many of those women just had big tits?

[628] And they, ma 'am, we'll take you home.

[629] You live by yourself?

[630] Yeah, cops have a weakness for drunk women, for sure.

[631] Oh, yeah.

[632] Well, there's some fucking hilarious body cams out there of girls going out to anything.

[633] please please don't arrest me I'll do anything yeah what was the one where she goes she goes don't you want to help out a pretty woman pretty woman and he goes well if I see one I'll help her out you never saw that I didn't see that one I never know how many of them are real these days because I think these days there's a lot of people who fake police interactions and they do stuff for clout they stage things for cloud they'll they'll make a viral video of like a fake fight people throwing things at each other all for clout I like the one with the father and the son they always do these big crazy physical stunts where they destroy the living room and have a fight and they scream at each other but it's so real I bought it the first two times then I was like oh no they're not fighting this often this hard they wouldn't still be living together but it's so funny oh that's funny yeah you can trick people today there's a lot of fake stuff going on on, you know?

[634] Yeah.

[635] A lot of fake.

[636] How many war footage videos were out?

[637] People go, that's from a video game.

[638] Like, what?

[639] Well, I guess face is a death.

[640] A lot of those were fake.

[641] Yep.

[642] Yeah, a lot of them.

[643] The war footage stuff is crazy because that's how good the video games are.

[644] Those video games are so good today that you watch, especially if you're looking at it on your phone, right?

[645] Like, especially my eyes.

[646] My eyes aren't that good.

[647] And I'm looking at some fucking jet getting shot down.

[648] I'm like, wow, that's crazy.

[649] Look how high -res that is.

[650] is who kudos to the camera guy really and then I'm like oh it's a video game you fucking idiot well how much longer until like you know the AI nudes are so fucking real oh yeah and now they're making AI nude videos not just stills yeah well they can do AI porn for sure yeah I mean I haven't seen it but I'm sure it exists because they can do AI scenes with human beings that are indiscernible you you cannot tell It's gone, the SORA, the newest technology, have you seen it?

[651] No. Google that, bring that one up, Jamie, of the Tokyo Street.

[652] So they have this footage that is all just a prompt, right?

[653] So they put in a prompt to this AI, like drone footage of Tokyo Street while it's snowing.

[654] And this video is entirely fake, and it looks exactly like someone flew a drone over Tokyo.

[655] The people are moving in random manners.

[656] they're moving at different speeds they look they look natural right look at this this is all fake dude this is six months old i think this is newer stuff now too so it's even better so it's even better look at that this is insane it's look how good the texture looks on the snow like on the how it varies yeah i mean look all the people the fucking the it's just wild yeah yeah and this is the stuff that we know about you know this is a stuff i mean for sure They have some new version of this They just haven't released to the public yet Well, and also how it's affecting The entertainment business, like Tyler Perry Just was about to build a billion dollar Studio in Atlanta It's because of that.

[657] No, then he saw that He canceled the plans.

[658] He's like, we don't need Physical production any longer.

[659] Yeah, it was an $800 million facility He was putting down.

[660] He saw Sora.

[661] That's what he saw.

[662] Oh, okay.

[663] And they realized like, oh, we don't need any of this anymore.

[664] They're not going to need actors either.

[665] Right.

[666] Which is, like, part of the strike was that they were trying to own the digital rights to a person.

[667] Like, say, if they paid you, you're a background extra.

[668] They don't want to have to keep paying extras.

[669] So we'll own all their faces.

[670] Yeah, they stand and they get shot in a green screen from, like, eight different angles for a half an hour, and then they own them for life.

[671] This is newer.

[672] This is 11 days old, it says it was posted by OpenAI.

[673] Jesus Christ, man. They're all looking at a UFO.

[674] This is bananas This is completely bananas This is all AI generated Not to mention the scripts are going to be mostly AI generated Oh yeah 100%.

[675] But that's the thing I'm saying about this That when they're doing this stuff And putting this stuff into a prompt It's easy It's like instantaneous Yeah And so what they were trying to do with these background Like imagine you're a background guy You know you just moved to Hollywood you know you want to get work as an actor so you decide to take a background gig in a movie you sign this thing off but then you wind up becoming successful that's how almost all actors get started sure they start as background people or work on the crew they get auditions that's harrison 40 who's a fucking carpenter right they don't but they now they have your likeness yeah for the rest of your life and they could just shove you in movies hey why's harrison four in that fucking movie yeah oh well harrison four was an extra you know yeah yeah So they don't need to shoot new stuff.

[676] They can use old footage of people.

[677] Dude, they don't need anything anymore.

[678] They could do John Wayne movies, but really sophisticated, like Tarantino, John Wayne movie.

[679] Like, they could do that right now.

[680] Like, someone in AI, using this program, maybe not now, maybe five months from now, can make a John Wayne Tarantino film.

[681] Like make a Western, but in the style of Quentin Tarantino with the same type of dialogue.

[682] like that Robert Rodriguez would direct with him and put that together and they can make it in the style of these guys they just look at Kill Bill look at Reservoir dogs okay we kind of know what he's into okay and it's moody it's dark there's rain dripping from the ceiling you're looking at the gun before he shoots the guy the pupils dilate the fucking the pores guys got a pockmark face from acne scars I mean they can do everything man it's it looks like a real movie and a movie is a little easier to do than video I would think because in a movie you make the background blurry it's a little softer yeah that's a weird thing like we like films where we that doesn't look real we like a film where when you're talking everybody in the background's blurry I don't want to see everybody in the background crystal clear No, I remember the first time I got a high -deaf TV, it threw me. I was like, this looks fake.

[683] Everything looks fake.

[684] Yeah, everything was too much in my face.

[685] And I think Tarantino still shoots on film.

[686] Yeah.

[687] I think his films are all done on film.

[688] I think the problem with video is it's too good.

[689] Yeah.

[690] It's too good.

[691] Like soap operas.

[692] Like, don't they shoot those on film or on video?

[693] They shoot them on video.

[694] It's probably cheaper.

[695] I'm sure it's video because the editing is so much easier.

[696] When you edit film, you have to convert it.

[697] and then edit it, and then they get converted back again.

[698] Oof.

[699] And so when you, like, I've written on TV shows that were film, and first of all, you can't do as many takes in a row because you have to change the reels on the cameras.

[700] Yeah.

[701] So you get to get in, you know, two or three takes, then you've got to stop down for five minutes and reload.

[702] I'm pretty sure news radio was film.

[703] Yeah, I'm sure it was.

[704] Yeah, 90%.

[705] And I think Fear Factor was not.

[706] Usually multi -camera is when you're in a studio, like everybody loves Raymond or something like that.

[707] That's usually shot digitally.

[708] I think they tried to do it digitally, like one episode or something.

[709] God, maybe I'm remembering.

[710] Maybe it was something else I did.

[711] But I remember they were trying to make this transition.

[712] But people didn't like the way it looked.

[713] There was a video on advertisement the other day with Tom Cruise and someone else, and they were talking about the settings on your television.

[714] That if you have the settings on your television set from the factory incorrectly, it can make these brilliant films look too much.

[715] like video because of whatever funky you know shit they're doing to make the film the television look clear and crisper which is great in most things but it's not great when you're watching a film that's been sort of designed to get you to focus on specific things and have the background more blurry right like I remember the first time I saw I've one of the Star Wars films like like Return of the Jedi or one of those and I saw it on a high resolution big screen TV I was like this looks like dog shit yeah the background was so fake it was like so clearly like a painting of a spaceship in the background it looked so corny but in the movies it looked perfect yeah right yeah I was going to shoot my special on film I actually was talking to Kodak and getting like getting the reels and it ended up it was going to be three times more expensive to shoot it on film but but think about like live at the sunset strip or oh yeah I mean it just it felt like you were in the room you could smell it and feel it you know it's also a time capsule too though right yeah there's something about that where you're like god richard pryor's like 35 back then look at them you know look at the crowd look at the audience this is wild what was it like back then yeah imagine being alive back then and been sitting in that audience back then like fuck right is there any good footage of lindy bruce there's some a lot of black and white stuff i would love to see that yeah there's a lot of unfortunate footage that was him when he was kind of going crazy at the end of his life he was just reading from transcripts of his trial yeah yeah do you see those yeah that's bad they're weird yeah they're weird yeah because people don't know what they're listening to like why am i listening to this he became obsessed with his trial uh -huh trials you know they were just they were putting that guy in jail for doing something we do every night mm -hmm which is really crazy yeah really crazy yeah uh there we go from 1965 I'm happy alone, don't you see?

[716] I've convinced you.

[717] I don't know, I get so dramatic about it.

[718] You better off alone, man. I got to...

[719] That's it, I'm going to get a whole bunch of new suits.

[720] You know, I've had the same dumb suit for 10 years.

[721] You walk in her closet, you can't even breathe.

[722] That's it, I'll get a whole bunch of suits.

[723] I'll get a chick that likes to hang out, man. I'll get a...

[724] I'll have a vodka parties.

[725] That's modern.

[726] Vodka parties, swing it up, balled up.

[727] I'll get a chick.

[728] I'll get a chick like stood.

[729] drink.

[730] Boy, my wife sure used to look good standing up against the sink.

[731] She's the lowest, though.

[732] I really put her down.

[733] No, no, I really miss her.

[734] I don't want some sharp chick that can coat carouac and walk with poise.

[735] I just want to hear my old lady say, get up and fix the sink.

[736] It's still making noise.

[737] All alone?

[738] All alone Like the near side of dog wears the bone This isn't probably the best example I don't know why you picked that But the oldest version of him I like that fucking suit Yeah That is a sharp suit That is And all that shit You know it's great the Dustin Hoffman film Where he plays him He did a fucking phenomenal job He did a fucking phenomenal job Dustin Hoffman nailed it He nailed it It's tough to play a comedian When you're not a comedian There's something you can't put your finger on About the rhythm of it Well you know they're faking it Well you know who's not bad Is have you seen that show Hacks No Gene Smart She's fucking good Yeah She's a great actress But she's she pulls it off Well the lady who did Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Oh yeah Yeah she pulled it off Yeah yeah yeah She pulled it off Yep Yeah that was Joan Rivers It's based on basically right I don't know It seems like it's the same time.

[739] I think maybe.

[740] Maybe an influence, but I think it's a pretty unique fictional story of someone who's friends with Lenny Bruce.

[741] Hacks is definitely based on Joan Rivers.

[742] Oh, really?

[743] Because she has a whole QVC line and it's a lot of the same stuff.

[744] But then the woman that plays, she's got like this writer who's like her she writes for her and goes on the road with her, played by Lorraine Newman's daughter.

[745] Oh, wow.

[746] I can't remember her name, but she's fucking great.

[747] You know the best conspiracy theory about Joan Rivers is that she was killed because she outed Michelle Obama for being a man Oh gosh Midge Maisel for the Marvel's Mrs. Mizzle was inspired by real -life comedian Joan Rivers sharing similarities in their upbringing, education, and performing at the Gaslight Cafe in New York.

[748] She nails it though.

[749] Rachel Brosnahan.

[750] Is that how you say her name?

[751] Yeah, she's so talented.

[752] She nails it.

[753] I think she's won at least two Emmys for that show.

[754] Yeah, she nails it.

[755] The first season season are amazing.

[756] I trailed off in the third season.

[757] I bailed off in the third season also.

[758] You know what it got?

[759] It got very sticky.

[760] It got very Jewish sounding.

[761] Like, almost like a Neil Simon play.

[762] I want to see the struggle in her trying to make it because it's kind of crazy that this housewife decides to become a comedian.

[763] She's actually really talented and kind of wild and crazy.

[764] But then once she starts making, I'm bored.

[765] Because now you're in nonsense land.

[766] Now she's going to be glamorous or she's doing U .S .O. tours.

[767] Like, shut the fuck out.

[768] Yeah.

[769] You know who's great in that show is Kevin Pollock?

[770] Oh, yeah.

[771] Yeah, he's really strong.

[772] He is great in that.

[773] He's one of those guys that just like...

[774] He could do anything.

[775] For a lot of...

[776] You ever see his IMDB page?

[777] He's like hundreds of roles.

[778] Oh, yeah, yeah.

[779] He's played bad guys, good guys.

[780] Yeah.

[781] He's a good comic, too.

[782] He is?

[783] Yeah, it's hard for people to pull off because you've got to really be doing it.

[784] Because if you're not really doing it, I know you're not really doing it.

[785] Like, if it's not really making the audience laugh, like, even if you had you do your act and there was a crowd of people that were paid to laugh at your act.

[786] So you have to do your act.

[787] They see you do it over and over and over again.

[788] Take five and they have to ha ha ha ha.

[789] I'm going to know you're not connecting with them.

[790] I'm going to know they're not connecting with you.

[791] You're never really going to be able to do that in a movie unless the guy actually does stand -up.

[792] Yeah.

[793] Like if Louis C .K. was going to do a movie about a comic and he would have to like do stand -up.

[794] And you know he used to do that in Louis, right?

[795] In Louis at the beginning of the show he would do a little stand -up well they if he actually did the stand -up though that was actual real stand -up I think Seinfeld too did that you got real audiences the only way to do it if you have a movie and you have a bunch of people that are being paid to sit and be audience members like the whole dynamic is fucked yeah it's never going to be real it has to be you'd have to just have bring in crowds just bring in a bunch of crowds like have a comic do it and film it at a theater, film four shows.

[796] It's the only way you're going to do it.

[797] You have to actually do it this way.

[798] And you might have to swap out the crowds because you're doing multiple takes.

[799] So just bringing a new one after two hours.

[800] Yeah.

[801] Well, instead of doing multiple takes, what you would do is you would just film all the stand -up and then splice it into the show or the movie.

[802] That's what you would do?

[803] That's the only way to do it and make it real.

[804] Tom, remember, what was Tom Hanks?

[805] The punchline, yeah.

[806] Terrible in Sally Fields.

[807] Oh, my God.

[808] They had lockers at the comedy club.

[809] We already had their own locker?

[810] Remember we were like, you and I. had just started back then because that was like when that was going on and i remember thinking god the difference in real life and these fucking movies is so crazy but it was also when they were doing stand -up it wasn't funny it wasn't real uh -huh there was nothing it wasn't locked in you know no and he hadn't uh and it's always that same storyline every comic which you know like there's an element of truth to it but like they're starting out they've got a schick and then somebody an older person pulls by and go, hey man, you've got to just be yourself.

[811] You got to use your own voice.

[812] And then all of a sudden they go up with no script, but they just are themselves.

[813] I mean, they did it in Maisel.

[814] But it's true.

[815] I mean, it is true to a certain extent, but they just hit it so hard.

[816] But she had material in Maisel.

[817] Yeah.

[818] She had a lot of shit that she was on her mind.

[819] She had stories, right.

[820] She wanted to tell those stories.

[821] She thought were hilarious.

[822] Yeah.

[823] That was a little different, but Punchline was just nonsense.

[824] Oh, my God.

[825] But although I heard a story.

[826] You remember Lucian Holt from the comic strip?

[827] Look at them all.

[828] wait there oh that's uh taylor uh the locker emotion yeah taylor something he was he was super talented yeah he was a super nice guy too yeah what was his last name he died a few years back yeah negron taylor that's it that's it that's it funny dude yeah um very nice guy came up to me the improv one night and we had a cool conversation but lucian holt brought me to his apartment and uh lucian holt by the way i mean some people he had mixed feelings because anytime you're a club booker you're going to have a certain number of people that just are not a fan because they didn't get past but lucian was an amazing guy he was a curator of eddie murphy of chris rock like he was the guy that brought people through the strip adam sandler yeah and he brought me to his apartment one time and he had wall to wall video this was back when everything was half inch uh you know vhs tapes walls of everybody's first times wow and so he showed me when Tom Hanks came in for Punchline, he only did stand up for like three nights and he came into this strip and he did it.

[829] And I got to be honest, like he came in and he had some written material and he fucking did good and then someone heckled and he like annihilated them and then got back into the material.

[830] I was like, fuck this guy.

[831] This is him?

[832] Oh, is that the tape?

[833] 1987 yeah fighting for the love of his son by arm wrestling a bald guy Stallone is back Stallone enters an arm wrestling competition now the estate Stallone wins the competition body chance is this the most exciting thing to make a movie about arm wrestling you know you know you can bet this bald guy is going to get Stallone over like this at some point You know, I think you're going to have the, the close -ups, the hand, the eye, the hand, the eye.

[834] Their first time.

[835] Pretty fucking good.

[836] Pretty fucking good.

[837] With the pauses.

[838] Yeah.

[839] Timing.

[840] The flashback sequence to his son.

[841] Poppy, poppy, poppy, over the top.

[842] See, they should have used that in the movie.

[843] Exactly.

[844] So that was good.

[845] Make it look grainy.

[846] But no, no, no, no. It doesn't have to be grainy.

[847] But that, film them actually doing stand -up.

[848] Yeah.

[849] That's what you should have done.

[850] Yeah.

[851] So it's not that he sucked, because right there he just did it, but he was at, flip the top, nobody doesn't have to use these goddamn things.

[852] It's amazing how many people, you give him a Calibri lighter and they just, who?

[853] Well, it's like, man, discovering fire.

[854] So if they use that, I would have bought that movie.

[855] That would have been a much better movie.

[856] How did they not know that?

[857] Yeah.

[858] If you're doing a film on stand -up and you're going to have comics, you could have just had them doing stand -up.

[859] Yep.

[860] Actually do stand -up.

[861] Just get a comedy club.

[862] You say, Tom Hanks is going to perform.

[863] It's going to sell out.

[864] And you say, oh, and ladies and gentlemen, you guys are going to be in a movie.

[865] Please do not heckle and have a great show.

[866] Like, oh, my God, we're going to be a movie.

[867] This is amazing.

[868] You'd be extra excited, all happy.

[869] It would be great.

[870] It would have been a great movie.

[871] Yeah.

[872] But maybe, you know, Sally Fields' jokes were terrible in that movie.

[873] Awful.

[874] I like to see her set.

[875] You know who wrote all the jokes?

[876] Who?

[877] Barry Sobel Did he do it on Purposely Bad?

[878] No, I think they gave him like five minutes I don't know But he was in it He used to kill it back then Barry Sobel Oh yeah When I first started coming to the store He was one of the big names there Yeah he was on MTV a lot I remember that was the guy from Punchline But it was quite a while afterwards Right so this was like 94 And that movie was like 88 And he was still kind of doing that same kind of character That was a weird thing about the store in 94 It's like, you know when a wave hits ashore and then pulls back, you see like Driftwood and shit, just get stuck on the beach?

[879] That was the store in 94.

[880] Yeah.

[881] Because Kinnison was this wave.

[882] And Kinnison and that movement was this wave that washed over comedy in Hollywood.

[883] And then Kinnison left the store and then Kinnison died in a car accident.

[884] And then I came to the store like two years later.

[885] and it was like beachwood you know it's like fucking driftwood and bottle caps and shit right it's like there was a lot of guys there that should have not been doing standing up anymore they had been doing the same act for 30 years it was weird bodax guy like I was like this is the comedy store like this is weird and there was 18 people in the crowd and then like domaera would go up or someone legit would show up or Damon Wayans would show up and you go oh there's still some good guys here there's still some good guys here But it was When Kinnison was around It was packed Because it was like This vibrant energy To comedy in Hollywood And I missed that wave God I wish I could have seen it Imagine that Robin Williams Popping in Nuts Fuck I hope he doesn't do my material Yeah he was in the crowd one night I was at the comedy cellar And he was in the crowd Just sit for some reason He was drunk It was like he had a lapse And he started heckling me But like in a playful way.

[886] Like he wanted to improv and fuck around.

[887] So I did.

[888] I played with him.

[889] I don't know where I got it in me, but I was like shitting on him for being Mork for Mork and he was laughing.

[890] He didn't jump up on the stage, which would have been fucking sweet.

[891] But, and then he hung out after, I met him a few times.

[892] Fucking sweetest guy in the world.

[893] And not at all how he is on stage.

[894] Like very sweet, very minimal, calm, very much like interested in you, like ask you questions.

[895] Yeah.

[896] I met him once at the improv, and I didn't know I was talking to him until, like, a couple minutes into our conversation.

[897] Oh, shit.

[898] So I was, I did a show at the improv, then afterwards I was taking pictures.

[899] So I was in the front bar, and there's a line of people, I'll just take a picture, saying hi to people.

[900] And this guy comes up, and he said, that was really wonderful.

[901] I really loved this one bit, and he's talking to me about this bit.

[902] He's like, that bit, it's like, God, the courage to say that.

[903] And I'm like, this is Robin Williams.

[904] because he had a big white beard and a hat on and I didn't realize well thank you man I go I really appreciate it and thank you for coming goes yeah I really wanted to watch your set it was really fun wow that's pretty cool it was cool but I was like this is the craziest thing is he didn't introduce himself I'm Robin Williams he waited in line nobody noticed that he was in line because he had this big beard big beard and glasses and a hat on and it took him like I was like oh shit super nice guy super nice guy I wish there wasn't that joke stealing thing connected with him but I think in his defense I think he was kind of crazy I don't think he remembered he was doing it I think it was just like it was sticky jokes were sticky to him and then they came up because he was improvising and I read this article about that's a nice that's a hopeful way of thing you hope he didn't know he was doing it was like fuck it I'm doing it anyway I want to make it.

[905] He used to steal so much from Rick Overton that he was getting, he would just call his manager and be like he did it again and they just cut him a check.

[906] But it was like, you know, money doesn't cover it.

[907] That's your tool belt.

[908] That's taking somebody's...

[909] It could be the difference between you making it and not making it, right?

[910] You can have one bit.

[911] Like sometimes for a comic, it's one bit that you base an entire career on.

[912] And you have this one bit and this bit shows you that with the proper focus and a subject where you're really connected to it, you can come up with a banger.

[913] So I can, and you can headline and close with that.

[914] And if some guy just does that on TV, they have just hamstringed your act.

[915] Like, you don't have a closer anymore.

[916] And maybe you base other stuff on that bit.

[917] Like, maybe it's like you point to it at previous time so that the end part, it's even funnier because it's kind of a callback.

[918] Like, oh, yeah.

[919] And I've seen it happen to guys where their career just tanked.

[920] You remember Larry Miller's closing bit on the 10 stages or how many stages of being drunk.

[921] He closed with that shit for years and people demanded it because it was just an act out.

[922] So you didn't get sick of seeing it.

[923] Right, right.

[924] And he honed it over the year.

[925] I mean, he's such a craftsman.

[926] He's such an exacting performer and such a precise writer.

[927] And then I saw some guy doing that bit, and I was like, dude, I mean, I hate to bring up Mencea, but like, it was like that thing with Cosby with the football thing.

[928] Like, dude, that's like exact.

[929] Not only that, it's a legendary bit.

[930] Yeah.

[931] That's what's crazy.

[932] But I think people did things before they understood the Internet because they didn't understand that there's going to be real consequences.

[933] It's not just some people talking about things.

[934] it's a video that shows the bit by Cosby and then your bit back to back there's a thing that happened because of the internet where it wasn't a rumor anymore it was like you could just see it right in front of your face and go oh there's no way well especially when it's more than one bit and they put a compilation together then it's like wow there's also there's a thing that happens with those guys where you see there's a stark contrast between the material they see steel and the material they write themselves.

[935] Like the material they write themselves, it doesn't make any sense.

[936] It's like they're doing a caricature of the guy who is killing with the jokes with that same attitude.

[937] But now you have nothing connected to it, but you have all this confidence.

[938] But it doesn't make any sense.

[939] And when they get caught, then they have to do their own stuff.

[940] And you usually, it's a fucking drop off a cliff.

[941] Yeah.

[942] It's a drop off a cliff the difference between the early stuff where they weren't stealing or they were stealing rather and the later stuff where they have to write their own stuff well also when you get guys that aren't just taking and not just guys women obviously who aren't just taking the jokes but they're taking the persona like how many guys did we see being bill hicks back in the day well there was a sign in the green room of the punch line in Atlanta quit trying to be Hicks oh really yeah yeah so many the back the back green room of the punchline in Atlanta, it was awesome because there was a bunch of people that signed the wall.

[943] You know, the walls were all signed.

[944] And it was like, wow, that guy was like Mitch Hedberg.

[945] And there's a big sign.

[946] Someone who wrote, quit trying to be Hicks.

[947] That's awesome.

[948] Yeah.

[949] That was a great club, Atlanta Punchline.

[950] Oh, perfect club.

[951] Perfect old wooden club.

[952] Perfect club.

[953] And it had, they must have done comedy 30 years there easily.

[954] Oh, yeah.

[955] They moved to a, they moved to a, it's funny because it's not as big of a place and it's connected to like a diner, but it's still kind of got the magic of the old punchline.

[956] Yeah, that's great.

[957] Atlanta Krazer.

[958] We did a nice theater in Atlanta one time.

[959] Yeah, that was fun.

[960] That was fun as shit.

[961] Yeah.

[962] Atlanta's great.

[963] It's great comedy place.

[964] Yeah.

[965] It's, um, you know, it sucks.

[966] They had to lose that original spot, though.

[967] The original spot was so perfectly designed.

[968] I think it was literally crumbling by the end.

[969] Was it?

[970] Yeah.

[971] Oh, the building was falling apart.

[972] I think it was a tear down.

[973] Yeah.

[974] And I just like, there's something about old clubs where you really can feel the history.

[975] Oh, yeah, like Zanies.

[976] Zanies in Nashville.

[977] Yeah, and the punchline in San Francisco, Denver Comedy Works.

[978] I'm there next week.

[979] Yeah, you field in the walls.

[980] Yeah.

[981] It's like so many people have laughed there.

[982] So many people have had good times there.

[983] It's like burned into the building.

[984] And also, I think the staff, you can tell a great club because you go back year after year and it's the same staff.

[985] Yeah.

[986] You know, you got people that, you know, it's a waitress.

[987] that she's been working their 20 years but she's got a day job but she's like fuck that I'm still coming in on Friday nights because these are my friends and I get to see all the comics that I've loved over the years and yeah all those clubs and then you go to some of these bigger clubs where they're like a chain and the turnover is fast yeah there's a big difference yeah it's also it's like you have a regular job on a restaurant or something like that like isn't that boring Yep.

[988] Isn't that boring?

[989] When you're rather go see comedy, have fun, laugh, everybody's drinking.

[990] Uh -huh.

[991] It's a festive environment.

[992] Even if you're not like listening to the comic, if someone's killing, you're in the room, someone's killing, it feels good.

[993] Yeah, yeah.

[994] She's got some good energy to it.

[995] I know.

[996] And it's also, my niece moved out to San Diego, and I got her a job as a waitress at the comedy store in La Jolla.

[997] Oh, wow.

[998] And so she hit the ground running because, like, you know, you don't know people.

[999] And all sudden, she's working with a staff of people that are all fun as shit and they work together.

[1000] and then they all go out for drinks afterwards.

[1001] And now she's got a real job.

[1002] And she's still working there one of two nights a week.

[1003] That comedy store in La Jolla is another one of those places.

[1004] It's a classic room.

[1005] Classic room.

[1006] You can kill that room.

[1007] Ooh.

[1008] Yeah, I know.

[1009] Quite a few people have done specials there.

[1010] Well, I think the store is actually setting out to do a bunch of specials down there.

[1011] They've got some good people that they've kind of hired to do a production wing of the store.

[1012] It's a perfect room.

[1013] Yeah.

[1014] Perfect room.

[1015] Yeah.

[1016] Yeah.

[1017] It's like it's actually even better than the OR because there's less people going in.

[1018] Like there's less noise.

[1019] Like the OR has the problem with that hallway.

[1020] That hallway sucks.

[1021] And it's also not L .A. So you've got a little bit of a better cross -section of people.

[1022] Yeah.

[1023] Yeah.

[1024] More fun.

[1025] Yeah.

[1026] Less pretense.

[1027] Yeah.

[1028] Yeah, that's a problem with L .A. Everybody in the audience wants to be on stage.

[1029] Yeah.

[1030] Even if they're not fun, they wish they were or they could have been and maybe that could have been me. Yeah, you know, where they, it's not like, this is Mike, you know, Mike has a fucking, runs a John Deere factory.

[1031] He likes to go out with his wife on the weekend and laugh.

[1032] That's it, like a normal guy.

[1033] Yep.

[1034] Just a human, you know, everybody wants, like that whole town is at least poisoned by people that want to be famous.

[1035] Mm -hmm.

[1036] Is at least some aspect of it, the radiation from that Chernobyl, is in everything, in everything that everybody does.

[1037] There's a certain percentage of bullshit that exists in normal conversations in Hollywood that just doesn't exist in the rest of the country.

[1038] No, I was just in New York last week and all anybody talks about in New York is they talk about politics in a smart way, they talk about culture, they talk about writers, and then you go back to L .A. and they just all talk about showbath.

[1039] Like even your doctor, your doctor wants to talk about his famous clients and he's got headshots on his wall.

[1040] It's like, you're a fucking doctor.

[1041] Yeah.

[1042] I don't care that Leonard Nimoy used to come here.

[1043] He's dead.

[1044] You failed.

[1045] All head shots.

[1046] All over the wall.

[1047] Yeah.

[1048] It's so strange.

[1049] My shrink said to me one time, he goes, I was telling him about how I was down.

[1050] I don't know if you remember this, but I used to do Stern a lot.

[1051] And Stern, I asked him to write the forward to my book.

[1052] and do you remember this story?

[1053] I do remember, yeah.

[1054] Yeah, so he basically ran me through the mill, and it was a bit, it was a radio bit, you know, it wasn't mean -spirited, but it was a little mean -spirited.

[1055] Well, it came off way worse than the reality of it was, because he - Explain it to people that don't know what we're talking about.

[1056] Well, so I asked him to write the forward to my book, and then he said on the air, there's a million things I'd rather do than sit down and write this for it.

[1057] And I think the intent was he didn't want people coming to him and ask him to do things like this, or he'd be doing it all the time.

[1058] I asked me to do it and he just starts busting my balls and calling me at home and saying I don't want to do this and blah blah so I go to my shrink and I'm talking about I have depression so let that sit for a second and he says to me he goes it's so weird he should never fucking told me this he goes I have a patient that came in and he said he's having a hard time lately and I said well what's going on and he goes well my boss at work is a fucking douche my wife keeps telling me that I'm not emotional enough and then there's this guy name Greg Fitzsimmons on the Howard Stern show and they're just torturing them it's just so and I go you shouldn't fucking tell me that oh my god he shouldn't have told you that and now you're walking to the streets thinking everybody stares you're like that fucking loser yeah look at him yeah that's the problem with having that kind of a platform uh -huh but uh but I'm better now my depression is never been better what did you do different uh I got way more disciplined about working out.

[1059] You could probably see it.

[1060] Look at that.

[1061] Guns.

[1062] I got guns.

[1063] I'm doing yoga.

[1064] I'm doing...

[1065] Well, they say that that is 1 .25 times more effective than SSRIs.

[1066] Yeah.

[1067] Regular exercise.

[1068] Yeah.

[1069] Regular exercise.

[1070] I meditate.

[1071] Just meditated before I came here every day.

[1072] I think that's 90 % of what's wrong on people.

[1073] I know that it's such a meathead perspective.

[1074] but I think everybody should do something physical.

[1075] I think we have requirements.

[1076] I know you don't want to do it.

[1077] But I think we have requirements, just like you have to brush your teeth, just like you have to eat food, just like you have to take vitamins.

[1078] I think we have requirements.

[1079] I think you have requirements to move or it fucks with your head.

[1080] And gym class used to be intense at school.

[1081] Oh, yeah.

[1082] You used to have a fucking locker and shower after third period because they just made you run like an army obstacle course and do pushups and jump.

[1083] Bro, we played dodgeball.

[1084] Yeah, yeah.

[1085] We grew up with dodge ball, which was crazy.

[1086] You were whipping balls into people's faces.

[1087] Your heart was racing.

[1088] Yeah, dude, and you're chasing people with the ball, and if you catch some kid who fucking stumbles, he's getting it right in the face.

[1089] Right?

[1090] That game was nuts.

[1091] And it was co -ed, and the girls went down fast.

[1092] Horrible.

[1093] You see the big red welt on the side of the leg, the Irish girl with the pale skin.

[1094] get and get fucking panked.

[1095] It was horrible.

[1096] She got varicose veins on her neck to this day.

[1097] Yeah, there's some people that were really good at throwing that fucking dodgeball, too.

[1098] That shit was terrifying.

[1099] Yeah, those kids with the long arms.

[1100] And they got rid of that.

[1101] Yeah.

[1102] They got rid of that.

[1103] But, dude, we used to run laps.

[1104] Oh, yeah.

[1105] Used to fucking run laps.

[1106] Sure.

[1107] And then you felt good and you went back to class.

[1108] I taught my kids, their gym classes weren't shit.

[1109] They didn't have to do anything.

[1110] The hardest thing I ever did when I was a kid was wrestling.

[1111] I did one year of wrestling.

[1112] and it was but I couldn't do both that and taekwondo at the same time it was just too much and I had to make a decision and so I picked taekwendo mostly because it's easier yeah it was way easier right to the training for wrestling was so hard that I would be like in school I'd be like my brain was like half on I was just thinking oh my god we're gonna have to run stairs tonight right oh my god we're gonna have to do live drills and fucking firemen's carry carry each other up the fucking stadium stairs.

[1113] There's no tougher training, man. Wrestling is brutal.

[1114] But my son, he was having trouble when he was in preschool.

[1115] He was biting kids.

[1116] He was like crazy.

[1117] And so the teacher said there's this place called Marina Taekwondo in Venice.

[1118] Great program for kids.

[1119] So he started in preschool and he went all the way through eighth grade.

[1120] He got his black belt, his junior black belt.

[1121] And it changed him.

[1122] Fucking changed him.

[1123] He became disciplined.

[1124] He calmed him down.

[1125] down?

[1126] It used to go like three or four days a week.

[1127] Yeah, I think it sounds crazy, but I think it's a requirement for kids to do something physical and really would help if you did something scary, like a martial art. It's just good for developing your brain and developing your ability to do difficult things.

[1128] When he got his black, I don't know if they always do this, but when he got his black belt, they had to do, you know, certain, what do they call them, katas?

[1129] Is that the...

[1130] It depends on the katas of Japanese word.

[1131] Yeah, he was, I think, He did his cadas, and then he had to break some boards, and then he had to do whatever.

[1132] And then he had to fight two black belts, like at the same time.

[1133] And he had to go, like, three rounds.

[1134] At the same time.

[1135] They fucking sicked him on him.

[1136] And Mr. Joe, Keith Jones, shout out.

[1137] And it was tough.

[1138] And he came out, and he started crying, and Mr. Jones sat him down, and he goes, you're going to get back in there.

[1139] You're going to finish this.

[1140] And he went in, and he wiped his tears, and he fucking finished.

[1141] And then he got his blackbell.

[1142] It was bad ass.

[1143] How old was it?

[1144] With starting kindergartens, this would have been in like, I don't know, sixth or seventh grade.

[1145] It's kind of crazy to give a kid a black belt.

[1146] Yeah.

[1147] Little kids.

[1148] Yeah.

[1149] Because it's not real.

[1150] Yeah.

[1151] You know, it's like different schools have different requirements and different belief systems when it comes to that.

[1152] But somewhere along the line, that's where the term McDojo comes from.

[1153] Oh.

[1154] Somewhere along the line, they developed these strip mall karate plays.

[1155] It was in a strip mall.

[1156] That would, they would graduate children all the way up to Black Belt.

[1157] And they would also, they made it real easy for you to do it where you didn't spar.

[1158] And they started doing a bunch of stuff to make it less realistic but less attrition.

[1159] So less people quit and so they make more money.

[1160] And so like some of these schools that have hundreds and hundreds of students, they'd be making bank.

[1161] And then there was like, there was like a place called Fred Villarries when I was living in Boston.

[1162] And Fred Valarie's was a karate, it was a chain.

[1163] They were all over the place.

[1164] But the people that came out of there, if they had to fight, they'd be, maybe some of them will be good, but it's not the best place to learn.

[1165] It's a big dojo.

[1166] Yeah.

[1167] You know, they taught you karate, but you got to do it in a real place.

[1168] You've got to do it in a fucking real place with real savages.

[1169] Yeah.

[1170] It's the only way you're going to get good at it.

[1171] Right.

[1172] You've got to get to a real scary place where there's a bunch of people.

[1173] and they're fucking sweating and kicking the bag and you got to that's where you got to go but I do think there is something to giving a kid a goal like you're going to get your blue belt and you train for that you're going to get your red belt junior black belt's not a bad thing to call it yeah as long as you're calling it a junior black belt yeah it's like you're not a man yet you don't really have the ability to hurt people you know most people don't really have the ability to hurt people until they're like 15 16 17 then you can really hurt people and it comes quick it goes from you being a boy right when you're 12 12 years old, you are a boy.

[1174] When I was 15, I was fighting men.

[1175] So from 12 to 15.

[1176] Yeah.

[1177] So when I was 15, my instructor was crazy.

[1178] And he would put you in, like you were young teenagers.

[1179] He would put you in tournaments, in men's tournaments, 18 and over.

[1180] Wow.

[1181] Yeah.

[1182] Just say you're 18.

[1183] And they just put you right in there.

[1184] Oh, my God.

[1185] It was terrifying.

[1186] Terrifying.

[1187] So you go from not being able to hurt people to knock and grow man unconscious in a short period of time it was the first time I knocked a grown man unconscious I was 16 years old I had kicked this dude knocked him unconscious and I was like this is crazy was that he was snoring yes 100 % yeah it was full contact he was snoring and I was like this is nuts and I was 16 yeah I was like this is crazy so that's like a real black I was a black belt when I was 17 that's but it was a real black belt I was fighting black belts I was fighting black belts I can hurt you.

[1188] You can't really hurt anybody when you're 12.

[1189] Yeah.

[1190] But that's what's so nuts in five years you become a fucking machine in five years.

[1191] Five years ago, I've been here for four years.

[1192] I've been living here for four years.

[1193] Nothing's changed.

[1194] I'm exactly the same person.

[1195] Yeah.

[1196] But from 12 to 17, you're a different fucking human being.

[1197] Yeah.

[1198] And also when the fear of being physically hurt is driving you to push yourself to be better.

[1199] Yes.

[1200] That's real.

[1201] Yes.

[1202] Yeah.

[1203] Well, it's also you don't have your responsibilities you have nothing to do you have hormones for the first time in your life so you have all this fucking energy and this fucking rha and your your whole day you can just dedicate to this crazy thing and go around kicking people and learning something and getting better at something where everybody else is just listening to lead zeppelin smoking cigarettes and trying to figure out if they're going to go to college and you're out there doing something nuts yeah my uh my nephew rowan he grew up in South Africa, and he was like, you know, had every letter, ADHD, whatever, he had it all.

[1204] And he was the number one most, he got the record at his school for the most detentions.

[1205] They kept track, and they, like, gave him an award.

[1206] And then he found rugby when he was like 14.

[1207] He started doing rugby hard.

[1208] And he's a big, thick kid.

[1209] And he became an animal, and it straightened him out.

[1210] He's right now he's at Columbia University.

[1211] He was in the Navy.

[1212] He went out for the Green Berets.

[1213] No, the Navy Seals.

[1214] Have you seen?

[1215] And he just missed it.

[1216] He made it all the way to Hell Week and then got dropped from the program.

[1217] That's crazy.

[1218] But because he was in the Navy, they gave him a full ride to Columbia.

[1219] They pay him to go to school at Columbia on, I guess it's the GI Bill.

[1220] Is that what they call it?

[1221] Probably.

[1222] Something like that.

[1223] Yeah.

[1224] Yeah, I think putting a kid who's got some, because you get anger.

[1225] When you have all these learning disabilities, you get very angry.

[1226] You know, because you're not fitting in.

[1227] You're not doing as well.

[1228] You're trying your hardest and you're coming up short.

[1229] And you get fucking angry and you need something to focus that on.

[1230] I think all kids need something to focus.

[1231] Yeah.

[1232] They just need something.

[1233] It's too easy to just be lazy and, well, my life is terrible.

[1234] Because you're not doing anything.

[1235] You're not getting excited.

[1236] You do stuff.

[1237] Like, how many kids were depressed in the 1920s?

[1238] They were only depressed if they were starving.

[1239] They were running around.

[1240] I think the whole country was depressed.

[1241] It was the depression.

[1242] Yeah, exactly.

[1243] Oh, that was the 30s, yeah.

[1244] Let's go with the teens.

[1245] The 30s was the Depression, right?

[1246] So the roaring 20s was before the Depression.

[1247] Everything was going pretty good.

[1248] Pretty good.

[1249] But they were ruthless.

[1250] Yeah.

[1251] We call bullying.

[1252] It was like normal life.

[1253] Everybody was fucking horrible to each other.

[1254] Well, because they were recent immigrants and they were fighting for turf.

[1255] They were fighting for jobs.

[1256] The Irish and the Italians were fucking fighting each other.

[1257] They didn't eat food.

[1258] Yeah.

[1259] Yeah.

[1260] They weren't exactly sure they were going to get food.

[1261] And they had 11 brothers and sisters.

[1262] So they were fighting at home before they even left the house.

[1263] Yeah, and good luck getting something that has a vitamin in the winter.

[1264] Everybody's malnourished.

[1265] They were horribly malnourished.

[1266] If you lived in the city in the 1920s and it was fucking 30 below zero out, there's nothing coming in or out.

[1267] You ain't getting no tomatoes?

[1268] Like, where are those coming from?

[1269] You're going to get a horse to drag those from New Jersey?

[1270] Like, what are you talking about?

[1271] Yeah.

[1272] There's no food here.

[1273] Cabbage, that was your only vegetable.

[1274] You got canned food.

[1275] You ate canned food for six months.

[1276] Back to before shipping Just think how nuts it must have been To live in a city Before there were any trucks Yeah You had the ice man Every couple days An ice man would come to your house And put it in your box That's what the ice house in Pasadena was Oh no shit Yes Before the ice house was a rock and roll I think it was briefly a rock and roll club Then it came a comedy club It is the oldest running comedy club in the country Oh I didn't know that Yeah the ice house is the oldest and the ice house before it was any of those things was a place that would store giant blocks of ice so you'd go and get a chunk of ice they would take some ice from fucking Greenland or some shit they weren't even making it how did they even keep that thing cold and they got it to America the chunks of ice and they would get it to the cities you can get it in July they'd get you a chunk of ice how the ice man coming how much loss did they have in ice?

[1277] Like how big does ice have to be when you start?

[1278] And how heavy is that shit to ship it over?

[1279] Oh my god if you got a truck fill with ice.

[1280] Okay like what year did they start bringing ice around let's find that out?

[1281] Yeah.

[1282] Like what year did that become a thing?

[1283] Because you know it wasn't a thing.

[1284] Like during the pioneers days there was an ice truck that would show up there's no way to get the fucking ice.

[1285] You know, when those people were trying to make their way across the country no ice.

[1286] I'm going to guess 1890.

[1287] I think it's got to be after trucks I think it has to be because you've got to get it around You can't just put it on a train When a truck start I'm watching peeky blinders And as the years go on their cars get better Yeah It's interesting You know because it's kind of historically accurate In terms of the cars they were driving at the time It's really interesting Because in the beginning they just like a bikini top Over this shit box little fucking a little rattle machine.

[1288] Then at the end, they have like Bentley's.

[1289] Yeah.

[1290] And they close the door and it's luxurious inside and, you know.

[1291] But I would say trucking probably early 1900s.

[1292] What do we got?

[1293] I want to say like 1910.

[1294] So what year was the first ice delivery?

[1295] In which country?

[1296] In America.

[1297] When did they start delivering ice?

[1298] Well, Scandinavia.

[1299] They just fucking walked outside.

[1300] I think they brought the practice over from England because it says it started in England in the 1600s.

[1301] Right, right, but I'm saying when were they able to do it in America because even if they do it in England in the 1600s, you probably get a fucking cart dragged by horses from the mountain, like how far away is their ice?

[1302] It sounds like they grabbed it from lakes here.

[1303] In America?

[1304] Yeah.

[1305] Since it was a major part of the early economy in England and the United States saw fortunes made by people who transported ice and straw pack ships to the southern states and throughout the Caribbean.

[1306] Oh, so they only did it in the winter?

[1307] I guess, yeah, you just get it from Canada.

[1308] Oh, and how long can keep ice?

[1309] If you have, like, a Yeti cooler, you can keep ice for about seven days.

[1310] Yeah, in the summer.

[1311] It's pretty amazing.

[1312] So much you write a book about history of ice.

[1313] Because those big, thick -ass coolers, like a Yeti cooler that you would take camping, you can get, those are amazing.

[1314] Yeah, I got one of those.

[1315] Keep ice for seven, eight, nine days, which is nuts.

[1316] And if you take a Yeti and you take like a milk jug, fill with water, and freeze that, and put a bunch of them in there, it'll stay cold forever.

[1317] It'll stay cold for so long.

[1318] They've got a large block of ice like that.

[1319] This is it from the 70s, but this is just like ice extraction.

[1320] Oh, this might not be them sell and ice.

[1321] This looks like, these guys are going to die.

[1322] Yeah, they got axes on the edge of the water.

[1323] That does not seem that thick.

[1324] Take your ice and you put it in an ice box.

[1325] Ice box used in cafes of Paris in the late 1800s.

[1326] Wow.

[1327] A box to store ice.

[1328] So how did they get the ice to them.

[1329] Look at the first recorded use of refrigeration technology dates back to 1775 BC in the Sumerian city of Turquah.

[1330] That's why I asked which country because this goes back further than England it goes all the way back to yeah, seven same time.

[1331] Same time.

[1332] Well this is the same story because that's Cuneiform.

[1333] That's exactly the same story it's Mesopotamia.

[1334] The same country.

[1335] Ice pits.

[1336] Ice pits from the 7th century BCE.

[1337] Wow.

[1338] Algae in the Great Stored snow and pits that they dug for that purpose.

[1339] Wow.

[1340] Imported it from the mountain.

[1341] Straw -covered pits.

[1342] So they recognize that they could kind of insulate it.

[1343] And you'd sell it at a snow shop.

[1344] Wow.

[1345] Ice that formed the bottom in the pit sold at a higher price than the snow on top.

[1346] Oh, yeah, more expensive for ice.

[1347] Because didn't have piss in it.

[1348] That's the delineating factor.

[1349] How many guys pissed in that pit?

[1350] At least one.

[1351] Yeah, the French is serving up some chocolate ice cream.

[1352] Did you mean this to be chocolate?

[1353] At least one guy pissed in there for sure.

[1354] There's not a chance in hell nobody pissed in there.

[1355] Right.

[1356] Not a chance in hell.

[1357] Do you eat snow?

[1358] Like when you go out hunting in the...

[1359] You can eat snow.

[1360] I mean, you're going to have a certain amount of pollution, depending on where you are.

[1361] You're eating what's in the air.

[1362] It's amazing how bad it gets in New York in the winter.

[1363] How fast.

[1364] That shit falls in an hour later.

[1365] It's gray.

[1366] Well, in New York, you have a lot of things going on.

[1367] And one of the things that people don't take into consideration is brake dust.

[1368] You have a lot of brake dust.

[1369] So, they have all these cars that are constantly doing stop -and -go traffic.

[1370] So the brake dust in the air is, it's pretty significant.

[1371] That shit that you get in the inside of your wheels, your car wheels, and you have to clean off, that black stuff, that's brake dust.

[1372] So that's spraying out from every car in the 405.

[1373] So, like, when you're riding your bike, I'm being healthy.

[1374] You're like literally breathing in brake dust, you fucking psychic.

[1375] Go path.

[1376] Just, no filter, taking it right in the face.

[1377] Looks like, is that Central Park?

[1378] Or something close to it?

[1379] It says it was the first one in the United States, the first ice pit.

[1380] Ice pit.

[1381] When was that?

[1382] 13 feet in diameter and 18 feet deep.

[1383] Many times of ice were cut from a nearby river in the winter, transported by wagon to the ice house, deposited into the ice pits.

[1384] The blocks of ice fused into one giant mass. Gravel at the bottom of the pit drained water from the melting and the thick stone walls and straw insulation, minimize heat.

[1385] loss from the ice house above.

[1386] Morris claimed he was able to preserve ice from one winter to the following October or November.

[1387] Wow.

[1388] That's crazy.

[1389] So utilizing the 54 degree constant temperature underground, people have been storing ice in caves and pits since at least the Roman times.

[1390] That's pretty dope.

[1391] Oh, look at this.

[1392] It relied on a natural phenomenon, but also an overwhelming massive ice, good drainage, and the super -insulation of the building above the ice pit to provide refrigeration through hot Philadelphia summers.

[1393] Pretty fucking dope, 16 feet deep, and they would just store ice, and that's how you get your ice.

[1394] For nine months.

[1395] That's pretty amazing.

[1396] Yeah.

[1397] People are pretty goddamn ingenious.

[1398] Mm -hmm.

[1399] You know, human beings ingenuity to figure things out.

[1400] How do we keep this fucking ice when it gets hot as shit out?

[1401] Imagine if we can keep the ice.

[1402] What do we got to do?

[1403] Yeah.

[1404] How about dig a hole?

[1405] How cold is it down there?

[1406] It seems colder down there.

[1407] And just experimenting how long you can keep ice.

[1408] You're putting massive blocks of it from the river and stacking it.

[1409] And then you're going to sell it.

[1410] All right.

[1411] And people, yeah, and all these experiments.

[1412] People are dying.

[1413] Well, that didn't work.

[1414] Everybody died.

[1415] A nice whiskey with a couple of ice cubes in the middle of July.

[1416] That's worth it.

[1417] You know, with your friends at the country club?

[1418] Yeah.

[1419] You know how they get this?

[1420] I got a guy.

[1421] Maybe they call it, that's why they call it on the rocks, because it's around.

[1422] by rocks in the pit?

[1423] No. I think it's ice cubes that like rocks, right?

[1424] Well, there's a lot of schools of thought on this.

[1425] Isn't it funny when you go to some restaurants they give you a hot rock you cook yourself on?

[1426] What?

[1427] Like, ooh, it's sighting.

[1428] You never done that?

[1429] No. No?

[1430] A hot rock?

[1431] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1432] They'll give you like it'll literally be a hot rock that you can't touch and then you have little strips of steak and you lay them on the rock.

[1433] Oh, like a Korean barbecue place.

[1434] Like Wagyu.

[1435] They'll do it at a sushi.

[1436] places where they give you a hot rock and you put your little strips of I love it of beef on there and you flip it over.

[1437] Isn't it exciting that you're cooking for yourself?

[1438] And yet it's super expensive.

[1439] I know.

[1440] And then they make you clear your own plate and go in the fucking kitchen and wash it.

[1441] No, they don't.

[1442] No. You made that part up.

[1443] But it is funny that it's exotic to cook your own food.

[1444] Like, can't you do that?

[1445] Isn't this what I'm here for?

[1446] Yeah.

[1447] Why am I cooking?

[1448] I remember there was a Seinfeld episode was Kramer was pitching a pizza a place where you make your own pizza.

[1449] And he had a friend invest, and the guy had a restaurant, he went out of business.

[1450] Korean barbecue's fun, though.

[1451] Yeah, I like Korean barbecue.

[1452] Yeah, that's fun.

[1453] Yeah.

[1454] But you know what you're getting into and you get there.

[1455] It's not one dish that you have to cook for yourself.

[1456] It's the whole experience.

[1457] That's fine.

[1458] Yeah.

[1459] I know what I'm getting into.

[1460] But if I go to a restaurant and you give me a hot rock and like, here's your meat.

[1461] That's the hot rock.

[1462] Cook it on the rock.

[1463] What the fuck are we doing here?

[1464] But people love it.

[1465] Like, you, I'm kicking myself.

[1466] Look, I'm doing it.

[1467] Should I flip it?

[1468] Now?

[1469] Should I eat?

[1470] When do I flip it?

[1471] Yeah.

[1472] And then you got to go to the salad bar.

[1473] I got to walk to get my salad.

[1474] Well, that's Brazilian steakhouses.

[1475] That's the sneaky move they have is all you can eat.

[1476] Everything's all you can eat, but the salad bar is too.

[1477] So before you eat, you go to the salad bar and you're eating fucking art show cards and cheese and this.

[1478] And then they come by with as much meat as you possibly can eat.

[1479] And then you have a card.

[1480] you flip it.

[1481] If it's green on top, they keep coming by with different meat.

[1482] And when it's red, you tap out.

[1483] Yeah, I remember that.

[1484] We went to one of those places in Vegas.

[1485] Was it Fokodichau?

[1486] Fogu de Chow, yeah.

[1487] This place is the best.

[1488] Because you just start eating.

[1489] Like, you don't have to wait for the food.

[1490] The worst is when you're really hungry and you're in a slow restaurant.

[1491] You're like, oh, my God, this is killing me. Yeah.

[1492] But if you go to a place like Fogo de Chow, that food's coming right at you.

[1493] You could be stuffed in 10 minutes.

[1494] All different cuts.

[1495] Yeah.

[1496] Yeah, that's when you've got to take a little walk.

[1497] Yeah.

[1498] I've never seen anybody go harder than Ari at Fogo de Chow.

[1499] It is insane how much he eats there.

[1500] Yeah.

[1501] Insane.

[1502] And I go, why?

[1503] He goes, like, it's a Jewish thing, free food.

[1504] I go, are you serious?

[1505] He goes, yeah, it's all I can eat.

[1506] I can just keep eating.

[1507] I go, you're kidding.

[1508] He's like, no, I'm not kidding.

[1509] I can keep eating.

[1510] Doesn't cost any more money?

[1511] That's awesome.

[1512] He's so funny with it.

[1513] But he's like, he's shameless.

[1514] Yeah.

[1515] Shameless.

[1516] What are the clam chops?

[1517] Yeah.

[1518] Bring him over.

[1519] Yeah.

[1520] I thought I could keep up with them.

[1521] I could not keep up with them.

[1522] I was in South Africa one time, and we were at the, at a game park called Pilanesburg or something.

[1523] And they had a restaurant next to the game park, and you would go there, and I remember it was called carnivore.

[1524] And you go in, and they come over with skewers, but it was like, you want some giraffe, you want some hippo, you want some.

[1525] You want some.

[1526] Buck Everything I tried everything What is giraffe?

[1527] Giraff is A giraffe's a tough one Because they seem to not Want to fuck with anybody They're cool Your baby could feed them at the zoo You know?

[1528] Yeah It's the only animal at the zoo Yeah It's a giant fucking animal It's 50 feet tall And your two -year -old baby Can give it lettuce And the little tongue comes out Raps around and takes the lettuce And no one's worried about the giraffe do anything harmful to people.

[1529] That's a weird one to eat.

[1530] Like, if I could avoid eating a giraffe, I would like to.

[1531] Yeah.

[1532] And how are they not dead?

[1533] I mean, they, how do they protect themselves?

[1534] Well, they stomp things, first of all, because they're like a wild horse.

[1535] It's like a giant antelope thing.

[1536] Like, what species is a giraffe?

[1537] Like, technically, what is it?

[1538] Is it an antelope?

[1539] Like, what is it?

[1540] You know, like a moose is in the deer family.

[1541] Do you know that?

[1542] Oh, okay.

[1543] Moose is the largest of the deer family.

[1544] It's like elk is in the deer family.

[1545] Giraff is a large African hoofed mammal belonging to the giraffe.

[1546] Genus Giraffa, the tallest living terrestrial animal, and the largest ruminant on earth.

[1547] Traditionally, giraffes have been thought of as one species.

[1548] Giraffa Cameloparales.

[1549] Camel?

[1550] With nine subspecies.

[1551] So is a camel related to?

[1552] It is, right?

[1553] That's what I remember.

[1554] I think it is related Is a camel related Just said as Put it in Is a camel related To a giraffe What do you think I think they probably are Yeah Hmm Okay Giraffa Camaloparalus No Camelopardalus Camelopardaldis Oh fuck that last word How's that one go Tipples Dichr Giraffes get part of their Latin name camelopar dallas from the long camel -like necks and leopard -like spots but they are more closely related to okopies rather than camels or leopards so they're not related to camels oh look at that fucking thing oh we've seen those before it looks like a like a zebra fucked a deer or something doesn't it like the bottom half is one animal and the top half is another animal.

[1555] Beautiful, though.

[1556] I don't know how you mix.

[1557] How do you mix with a giraffe because how do you fuck it if you're another animal?

[1558] Yeah.

[1559] Yeah.

[1560] That's why they don't mix with anybody.

[1561] Drafts do the fucking.

[1562] Yeah.

[1563] I don't think anybody fucks the giraffe.

[1564] The giraffe has to do the fucking.

[1565] It's to decide.

[1566] It's going to get down there.

[1567] That's right.

[1568] Yeah.

[1569] You know, trees like the acacia tree, when giraffes eat them, all the trees that are downwind recognize that a tree upwind is being eaten by giraffes and so it changes its flavor profile it starts releasing these phytochemicals it makes it taste like shit no shit I guess it's an antelope's the closest living relative to a giraffe okay so it is an antelope species the weirdest antelope is the one that we have in America because we have a Jurassic animal in America the pronghorn antelope it's not like any animal in North America it's literally an animal that was a part of the giant group of animals that lived in North America like 65 ,000 years ago but it's one of the rare ones that's still here because it evolved to get away from a North American cheetah.

[1570] So it runs way faster than anything.

[1571] Nothing can catch those things.

[1572] You ever seen them?

[1573] No. Pronghorns?

[1574] They're cool as shit looking.

[1575] But you see them when you be it, that's not a good picture though.

[1576] You want like a picture of the males.

[1577] Just pull up pronghorn anelope.

[1578] The males have these crazy horns and these eyes that can see like probably all almost to the entire back of like behind their ears they have a crazy range of vision it's like a deer size uh -huh i've seen them in the wild they're really cool looking i've seen them in utah beautiful really cool looking but when you see them run you realize like oh this is not from around here they run so much faster than anything else So like Mount Lions Coyotes good luck bitch You're not catching that guy That guy's fucking insanely fast See if you can find a video of one running So it says born to race cheetahs So there was like 65 % of North American Megafauna Was killed off Somewhere around 10 ,000 years ago And these motherfuckers made it But they're a part of that old group That it included like the North American lion, North American cheetahs.

[1579] There was a bunch of crazy shit that was here just, you know, 15 ,000 years ago.

[1580] Yeah, right.

[1581] Crazy shit, dude.

[1582] There was a lion that lived here that's bigger than the African lion.

[1583] Like, the biggest lion ever was in North America.

[1584] No shit.

[1585] Yeah, we had a crazy big lion here.

[1586] Wow.

[1587] That's pretty wild.

[1588] But it makes sense, though, right?

[1589] If you think about all the buffalo, you'd probably, like, there'd probably be a cat big enough to kill that thing.

[1590] Yeah.

[1591] You know, some giant -ass lion.

[1592] All right.

[1593] way bigger than the African lines.

[1594] Yeah.

[1595] I just saw a video on the internet of sloths having sex.

[1596] How was it?

[1597] Well, it was as exciting as you would think.

[1598] It was like, first of all, like the mating call, like the female was like a mile away.

[1599] And it was like this little, like this little noise.

[1600] And he just perks up.

[1601] He goes racing down the tree, which takes like a day.

[1602] And then he has to go through these like crock -infested waters.

[1603] and he just keeps hearing the noise and he keeps going and he gets the other side and he climbs up the tree there's another male they like go to battle there's like a sloth battle with their three little claws and then the guy gets to the top and the female's there and he gets on top of her and it's just like one stroke de, gush, done that was the whole thing wow like think about how horny those fuckers are like the average married couple like what does it take to get laid you just got to listen to your wife for a little while yeah how was your day yeah and just listen and you're in and even then men are like ah I don't know that just it's a lot to ask but just imagine having this strange urge to go where that sound is and not having any reference mm -hmm like the first time it happens to you right say your sloth your two you get your first heart on like this is crazy and then you hear I'm like why do I need to go towards that sound?

[1604] You don't even know what you're doing you have no idea why you're going there if the sloth has never been laid before it has no idea why am I being drawn to this sound why is this smell it's all just instincts that's the noise yeah he's like I'm getting some is that all the sloth or was that one sound of sloth oh there it is oh that's pretty loud yeah you hear that signal for dick yeah and then but the amazing thing is like when you think about that what drives animals us being animals to do the things we I was thinking about this when I watched this sloth thing like all the things that gratify us that nature has taught us to procreate in order to you know whether it's eat your stomach hurts and the joy of the taste of food.

[1605] All these things that are built into us as animals that keep us procreating.

[1606] The fucking.

[1607] Even like you got an itch and you take your nails and you scratch it.

[1608] Well, there was probably a reason because there used to be bugs embedded in your skin or dry skin or like everything that we do is somehow built into rewards and punishments that are unconscious to us.

[1609] Yeah.

[1610] You know, and are they going to be able to, can you program that into people eventually?

[1611] Yeah, 100%.

[1612] To alter behavior.

[1613] Not just that, to eliminate all the things that make us human, unfortunately.

[1614] Mm -hmm.

[1615] Like, you want the good with the bad?

[1616] Or do you, what do you want?

[1617] Like, because the only way to have the good is you got to appreciate that it's good and how do you appreciate it?

[1618] Because you've experienced bad.

[1619] If you only get good, you get a spoiled rich kid and they're a nightmare.

[1620] Or you get Joffrey, the king, you know, that's what you get.

[1621] Yeah.

[1622] No adversity, all the power in the world.

[1623] Terrible for everybody, right?

[1624] So it's like you've got to have some down.

[1625] It's like it's a part of the program.

[1626] It's part of the program of becoming a better person.

[1627] Like you have experience good and, I think even in the world, unfortunately, we have to see evil to recognize that people are capable of evil to really understand what kind of game are we playing here.

[1628] especially when it comes to like international conflicts especially ones that don't have any day -to -day effect on your life here in America and whether you support them or you don't support them like you're it's not affecting you right but it's a fact it's somewhere if you were there if you were in Yemen and you watch those fucking drones launch hellfire missiles into this wedding party like you would recognize like there's a lot going on that's evil there's good and there's evil and it's real.

[1629] And there's this weird battle going on with human beings.

[1630] And I think that battle almost has to take place to motivate people to be better.

[1631] You think that's where there's war, cyclical war?

[1632] There's no reason why it should exist today.

[1633] There's no reason why, as educated as we are in history, that we should be willing as a people, as groups of people, to ever invade other places to steal their resources.

[1634] There's no way we should be doing that.

[1635] At this point, with the kind of communication that human beings have with each other around the world, there should be a way to reasonably communicate and share goods and ideas and compete and take part in each other's commerce.

[1636] I sell to you, you sell to me, everybody gets along.

[1637] This should be totally doable in 2024.

[1638] The fact that it's not and that no one thinks it's ever going to be is what's terrifying about you.

[1639] in a person.

[1640] Because that's the thing that keeps you up at night.

[1641] The thing like if one of these fucking assholes, one of these greedy cock suckers that's under the boot of the military industrial complex decides to push it a little too far.

[1642] And someone decides to shoot a nuke off.

[1643] And then we're in this new thing where cities could just disappear.

[1644] You know, it's not just a September 11th where two buildings disappear and a bunch of people died and it's a horrible tragedy.

[1645] No, no, no. The whole city gone.

[1646] Boom.

[1647] One city down.

[1648] Now, shut up.

[1649] the fuck up or will bomb all your cities.

[1650] Now your power doesn't work anymore.

[1651] Oh no. Where do you get your ice?

[1652] Well, you better go back to the old ways and get a fucking ice pit because you don't have electricity anymore.

[1653] That's not hard to do.

[1654] Like someone can take out our electrical grid pretty fucking easy.

[1655] And these assholes that are in charge of the world in all countries that are still playing this fucking game of maybe we'll kill you all.

[1656] Yeah, it's like a big game of chicken And there's no, like when we were kids, I don't know if this happened to your school, but like we had drills.

[1657] We had nuclear war drills.

[1658] Like it was a day -to -day existential worry that people didn't sleep because of nukes.

[1659] Those same fucking nukes are tenfold today in terms of the arsenals.

[1660] And way more people have them.

[1661] Way more countries have them.

[1662] And there's way more, when you look at what's going on in the Middle East, like that is a fucking, that is going to explode at some point.

[1663] And it's going to happen fast.

[1664] because there's all these alliances where if one country does it, eight others are going to do it the same day.

[1665] Peter Thiel was talking about that, that it's the ultimate dilemma when it comes to nuclear power.

[1666] Because nuclear power is more efficient than other power, and it's actually greener.

[1667] It's probably safer for the environment, especially with the kind of nuclear reactors are capable of building and designing today.

[1668] But they didn't realize that if you give someone nuclear power, it's really easy to turn that into nuclear weapons.

[1669] They thought it was a lot harder than it was, and they did it for end.

[1670] India.

[1671] And he was saying, then they realized, like, India got the nuclear weapon.

[1672] That's like, oh.

[1673] Okay.

[1674] So now we can't just give everybody nuclear power.

[1675] Because then you have everybody has nuclear weapons.

[1676] And what if it's some fucking warlord who's on amphetamines in the middle of the Congo?

[1677] And he decides he's going to nuke his neighbor.

[1678] People can get crazy.

[1679] Yeah.

[1680] Especially if they have a lot of money.

[1681] They're selling drugs.

[1682] They're kidnapping people.

[1683] Whatever they're doing.

[1684] They got a lot of money.

[1685] And now they have a nuclear weapon.

[1686] North Korea, man. Once North Korea has it, it's a fucking.

[1687] They have it.

[1688] Do they?

[1689] Yes.

[1690] North Korea has nukes.

[1691] No shit.

[1692] Oh, they don't have the long -range delivery systems.

[1693] They say they do now.

[1694] Yeah.

[1695] Who knows?

[1696] But there was a famous nuclear bomb that went off that they kind of denied in North Korea a while back.

[1697] What was that?

[1698] They think it might have been an accident.

[1699] It's hard to tell, you know, because North Korea is pretty tight with their propaganda.

[1700] But I remember there was some nuclear detonation was detected.

[1701] in the mountains and they were trying to figure out if it was on purpose or if it was an underground thing because they'd do underground nukes too which is crazy just may trigger an earthquake but let's find out let's just detonate a nuke a mile under the surface of the earth fucking psychopaths well we did it in Oklahoma and I guess it was like maybe the 50s or 60s and they they the fucking they didn't tell people to leave the neighboring towns and there's all these people The cancer rates were through the roof.

[1702] Here it says, okay, comprehensive test ban treaty has been detected seismic activity and more than two dozen stations around the world confirming that man -made explosions have occurred near North Korea's nuclear testing sites.

[1703] For example, in 2016, the CTBTO detected a 4 .85 magnitude seismic event, which North Korea claim was a hydrogen bomb test.

[1704] In 2013, the CTBTO detected a 4 .9 magnitude seismic event, which is about twice as large as the 2006 test.

[1705] So they just keep making them more powerful.

[1706] Well, what magnitude was like Hiroshima?

[1707] Oh, look at this one.

[1708] In 2024, South Korea's weather agency estimated that a nuclear weapon blast yield was between 50 and 60 kilotons based on a magnitude 5 .6 detection.

[1709] The South Korea's government initial estimate was 100 kilotons, and the N -O -R -S -A -R -Sysmology Center estimate was 120 kilotons.

[1710] It's so crazy that a nut, a crazy person, just some fucking maniac dictator has that.

[1711] Like you could take, oh, you fuck my cousin?

[1712] Guess what?

[1713] Yeah.

[1714] I'm going to nuke your town.

[1715] Or they want a legacy.

[1716] You or she was only about 15 to like.

[1717] Oh, Nagasaki.

[1718] So, four times the size.

[1719] Nagasaki was 25.

[1720] Holy shit.

[1721] Isn't it funny that Hiroshima gets all the credit?

[1722] But meanwhile, they got the bitch -ass bomb.

[1723] That's right.

[1724] One was an atomic and one was a hydrogen, right?

[1725] I don't know.

[1726] Is that the truth?

[1727] I think so.

[1728] The little boy.

[1729] Is that the big one?

[1730] Is that the one that was on Hiroshima?

[1731] So little boy was Hiroshima and fat man was Nagasaki.

[1732] Wow.

[1733] imagine you get your fucking your instructions you're a fighter pilot and that's what they tell you yeah that's what you're going to do today right what are we doing you're going to be the guy what do you mean you're going to be the guy that drops the bomb yeah what bomb we have a nuclear bomb yeah what does that mean like what does this thing do well you're going to drop it and then you got to get the fuck out of there right right because the explosion don't look back as it'll rip your eyeballs out.

[1734] Explosion.

[1735] That might be my tea mug that you just grabbed.

[1736] Oh, is that it?

[1737] I think so.

[1738] I'm sorry.

[1739] I just pour coffee in it.

[1740] I'm sorry.

[1741] No, I'm done with it.

[1742] I thought it was my coffee.

[1743] I'm on to coffee now.

[1744] There's too many mugs.

[1745] I're confused.

[1746] I was not seeing my mug because the microphone was like perfectly shielding it.

[1747] I was like, oh, that must be my mug.

[1748] There's a great series on Netflix right now about the Cold War.

[1749] It's like three, three episodes, but it goes through, you know, just the espionage that went behind it all and, you know, how the, how the, how the, how the their codes got to Russia because was it the, what was the, it was the couple, the Rosenbergs?

[1750] And there was a few people that basically got the information to Russia.

[1751] And then once that happened, like everything fucking changed.

[1752] Like after World War II, basically in World War II, we bombed Japan not because they weren't going to surrender.

[1753] There was like, this is what this documentary talks about, that there was an end in sight, that they were, they were crawling.

[1754] They were on their knees.

[1755] But Russia had sent forces into Japan as our allies to help, you know, finish the war.

[1756] We didn't want them getting any of the credit.

[1757] So we bombed while Japan was on route.

[1758] While Russia was on route, we bombed Japan.

[1759] Whoa.

[1760] So once we did that, Russia was like, oh, it's on.

[1761] Fuck them.

[1762] We need, we need.

[1763] And they basically just, they realigned their whole military, their whole budget.

[1764] But everything was about getting nukes after that happened.

[1765] Those bombs didn't need to be dropped.

[1766] That's so crazy.

[1767] Yeah.

[1768] How complicated is that, too?

[1769] Because if they don't drop those bombs, we know the bombs exist and no one's dropped them.

[1770] Do you think it would have been worse if the world didn't see the horrors?

[1771] You're probably right.

[1772] Because as they keep getting better, and no one's dropped one on anybody yet.

[1773] And then we're talking shit, I'll fucking do it, man. I'll be the first guy.

[1774] I'll be the first.

[1775] You know, if Hitler had a nuke, you don't think you would have launched it?

[1776] 100 % 100 % he's cranked up on all kinds of fucking drugs they were shooting animal hormones into him they were experimenting on him oh that's right I heard about that yeah this book Norman Oler Norman Oler I've sold your book so many times it's a crazy story he was in here explaining it all Hitler had this one doctor that he trusted he didn't trust the SS doctor because there was a lot of like people wanted to get rid of Hitler there was a lot of attempts on his life and this motherfucker had one doctor that was giving him all the goods.

[1777] And he was just out of his mind.

[1778] If you gave that guy a nuke at that time, 100 % he's nuking somebody.

[1779] Of course.

[1780] 100%.

[1781] What wouldn't he do?

[1782] Like, what was he not capable of?

[1783] Exactly.

[1784] And I think the same thing is true of Kim Jong -un right now.

[1785] I don't think he, I don't, I don't think.

[1786] He was friends with Trump.

[1787] Trump went over, shook his hand.

[1788] They were pals.

[1789] Yeah.

[1790] Seems like you just need a friend.

[1791] He's friends of Dennis Rodman.

[1792] Maybe Dennis Rodman can be the like official enve.

[1793] Maybe if Trump wins, Dennis Rodman becomes the official envoy and we fucking settle things out.

[1794] Imagine that.

[1795] Imagine if that was how it all worked out.

[1796] Yeah, smooth things over.

[1797] Give the people electricity.

[1798] Dude, it's so mysterious when you hear about people that escape from North Korea and they talk about how you literally, it's the thought police.

[1799] I just sent Jamie something.

[1800] It's so funny that we're talking about this.

[1801] I sent Jamie something this morning that I saw where this guy has one of those.

[1802] crazy satellite dishes in his backyard, and he picks up a channel from North Korea.

[1803] So it's a guy in Ontario, and did you, I sent, it's the other text message?

[1804] Yeah, but you sent, that's not what you sent me, so the wrong link got copied.

[1805] No way.

[1806] You sent me, like, the football video.

[1807] Step system?

[1808] No, I sent you something before that.

[1809] No. I didn't?

[1810] Oh, my God, I didn't.

[1811] You moron.

[1812] What did I do?

[1813] Did I save it?

[1814] God, I thought I sent it to you.

[1815] I must have accidentally sent somebody else.

[1816] What is the North Korean guy that picked up satellite?

[1817] Yes, it's an Ontario man picks up North Korean television.

[1818] Fuck, I thought I said that to you.

[1819] Fuck.

[1820] But he'll find it because it's becoming viral now because it's really nuts.

[1821] Can you see the propaganda?

[1822] So this guy just tunes in to this broadcast of North Korea because he's got one of them.

[1823] Remember when people had those, this is the guy, they had those crazy dishes like that thing in their backyard.

[1824] Yeah.

[1825] I remember a guy had that.

[1826] I thought that guy was a wizard.

[1827] Like, look at him.

[1828] He's getting TV from Ireland.

[1829] He's watching snow.

[1830] Nooker on the BBC.

[1831] So this is, this dude tunes in to the North Korean broadcast, like whatever it is, that they broadcast through North Korea.

[1832] And it's all propaganda and Kim Jong -un is like, literally people fall down like he's the Beatles.

[1833] Like when he shows up.

[1834] He shot a round of golf, he shot a 27 in 18 holes.

[1835] That was his dad.

[1836] Look how people freak out when they see him.

[1837] Yeah.

[1838] Yeah, he shot like nine holes in one, right?

[1839] Yeah.

[1840] But also, if you don't react like that, the police see you.

[1841] Oh, yeah.

[1842] And they put you in a fucking gulag and they, for like five years.

[1843] Yeah, you're fucked.

[1844] You better cheer.

[1845] Yeah, the power that he has is just absolute.

[1846] And then if they find out that, you know, you have a relative overseas that's bad -mouthing North Korea, your family gets put into a fucking camp.

[1847] Yeah, yeah.

[1848] And not only that, it's a generation after generation thing.

[1849] Like the children, if you have children in the camp, they're punished as well.

[1850] Yeah.

[1851] It's terrible.

[1852] It's so mysterious, too.

[1853] He does?

[1854] Maybe Dennis Rodman can choose it all over.

[1855] If I had to pick one eloquent NBA star, it would be Dennis Rodman.

[1856] Send him over there with a bowling bag filled with mushrooms.

[1857] And just those two get together.

[1858] Meet God.

[1859] Just like you'd fix this thing.

[1860] He could fix it.

[1861] He'd take that nuke like it was a fucking three -point shot.

[1862] He'd just reach up, stop it.

[1863] Well, what he's got to do before anything in that country is let those people be like that that is literally like a cult it's like a cult like the the power that that one guy has and that government has over their people have you ever said uh yonmi park talk about her experiences in north korea no she was she on here yes oh yeah i did see that she escaped north korea when she was 13 yeah that was crazy it's crazy yeah it's crazy dude and it's going into china like there's china uses uh i don't want to say which supermarket chain because i don't want to malign somebody, but one of the major supermarket chains, they have meat processing plants where they bring, China brings in North Korean slaves.

[1864] They are kept in barracks with barbed wire fences and they work for 12, 14 hours a day, seven days a week, and they get paid like a hundred bucks a month.

[1865] And then they come back to China, they come back to North Korea after like four or five years and their families get this little fucking tidbit of money, but they don't have a choice because North Korea picks what they think are the best examples of what North Korea is because they want to look good to China and they send those people over and they're held, they're worked as slaves for years.

[1866] And the American companies are buying food from these plants in China.

[1867] Jesus Christ.

[1868] Yeah, it's an article in the New Yorker about it.

[1869] Well, if we're buying things, I mean, that's one of the weirdest parts about manufacturing going away in America.

[1870] Because so many of the things that we buy are from mysterious places.

[1871] Like, when people found out about what was going on at the Foxcon factories that were making iPhones, that they had fences and nets all set up around the roof to keep people from jumping off.

[1872] Because so many people...

[1873] Suicide nets?

[1874] Oh, yeah.

[1875] You never seen it?

[1876] No. Fox...

[1877] Show those images.

[1878] It's bananas.

[1879] So instead of fixing it, they said, you know, let's just make it harder to die.

[1880] Like, these people, they just, they don't want to work here.

[1881] Does the net, do you bounce off the net back into the factory?

[1882] Look those nets.

[1883] That's to stop suicide.

[1884] That's all to stop suicide.

[1885] That's how many people are trying to kill themselves.

[1886] Because you're working 16 hours a day.

[1887] You sleep there.

[1888] They have dormitories.

[1889] Yeah.

[1890] And this is why your phone costs X instead of Y. And if we had American factories making all these things, you wouldn't have that consideration.

[1891] You would know, oh, they have to buy regulations and everybody has to be over -sveraged.

[1892] Well, and this doesn't even factor in the African mines where they're pulling up the, what's the metal they need?

[1893] The cobalt mines where they, you know, they send people into these mines that are like a mile deep and you maybe make it back up.

[1894] Maybe you don't.

[1895] The elevator sometimes stop working.

[1896] Oh, those mines collapse all the time.

[1897] or three days at a time in the blackness.

[1898] Yeah.

[1899] Have you ever seen the video of the Chinese mine collapsing?

[1900] No. See if you can find that.

[1901] There's been a few, but there's one really good video of this collapse of this mine.

[1902] It's fucking terrifying.

[1903] Yeah.

[1904] It's terrifying, dude.

[1905] Because it's basically their dick.

[1906] They dug into the whole side of this hill.

[1907] And then it just falls on them.

[1908] Wow.

[1909] This massive amount of dirt and land and the smoke and the dust.

[1910] You're like, oh, my.

[1911] God, how many people are dead, just crushed to death so that you can have an iPhone.

[1912] Watch this.

[1913] Look at this.

[1914] Holy shit, dude.

[1915] Where is this mine, Jamie?

[1916] What did it seem to be here?

[1917] Mongolia.

[1918] Mongolia.

[1919] Yeah, Mongolia.

[1920] Fuck, dude.

[1921] Fuck.

[1922] Mines are terrifying.

[1923] Yeah.

[1924] You know, you hear noises like creak.

[1925] Creek.

[1926] And you're like, get the fuck out of here.

[1927] We go.

[1928] Let's get out of here.

[1929] That was the Irish.

[1930] We all came over, went into the mines.

[1931] Well, all the people.

[1932] And the Appalachians.

[1933] Yeah.

[1934] Do you know why they say those people in Appalachia are more violent?

[1935] Why?

[1936] Because they come from hurting populations.

[1937] I think it was in, was it in Sapiens or whose book was that in?

[1938] Maybe one of Malcolm Gladwell's books.

[1939] But it's basically they're saying that the reason why there's more like, like when They used to have feuds, you know, like the Hatfields and the McCoys, that type thing, and they would kill those people.

[1940] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1941] I think that was Sapiens.

[1942] Yeah.

[1943] Yeah.

[1944] So the idea is that these people who are farmers, well, it's very difficult to steal all your corn.

[1945] You know, you can't steal all your corn.

[1946] But you could steal someone's sheep, all their sheep.

[1947] And so if you're a herder, you have to be on guard constantly of thieves who come in and take all your animals all at once.

[1948] You have to be super violent to protect your flock.

[1949] Uh -huh.

[1950] And those guys came over here with that.

[1951] sort of attitude.

[1952] Huh.

[1953] Yeah.

[1954] That's funny because you think of like the shepherd is this like kind of archetypal figure of this guy who's just kind of laying back with a piece of hayseeing his mouth, chilling out, but now they're warriors.

[1955] You have to be.

[1956] Yeah.

[1957] Because you'll lose all your food.

[1958] Yeah.

[1959] Like if you, if your family relies on those sheep, you have 20 sheep and you're, you got to follow them and graze with them.

[1960] You have to bed down with them.

[1961] If someone comes along and tries to, that's why cattle rustlers, they would kill them.

[1962] They would kill horse rustlers.

[1963] People stole horses and cows.

[1964] In the Old West, it was one of the worst things you could do.

[1965] You steal a man's horse, they'll fucking kill you steal a car today.

[1966] Like, you get a slap on the wrist.

[1967] There's guys out there that stole 14, 15 cars.

[1968] Nobody gives a shit.

[1969] Yeah.

[1970] You know?

[1971] There's this comic.

[1972] I did kill Tony last night.

[1973] This comic came up and he said he's got a Kia and it's been stolen four times this year.

[1974] I guess Kia has some kind of a defect and you can read about it online, but it's like super easy.

[1975] Like old school hot wiring.

[1976] You can just grab a Kia.

[1977] Yeah, I've heard about this.

[1978] They get stolen a lot.

[1979] Kia thefts.

[1980] It's a big deal.

[1981] Yeah, I mean, the only downside is once you do it, you've got a Kia.

[1982] Right.

[1983] That's the payoff.

[1984] It's mostly kids, though.

[1985] Mostly kids doing it for joy rides?

[1986] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1987] Yeah.

[1988] You can do it in like 10 seconds.

[1989] Uh -huh.

[1990] It's happening all over the country.

[1991] It's been happening for a few years.

[1992] So they take it, go on a joy ride, beat the shit out of it.

[1993] Yeah, they're just driving crazy.

[1994] Oh, there's nothing more joyful than driving a Kia.

[1995] Well, I mean, if you don't have a car, and you're just trying to have fun beat the fuck out of this Kia.

[1996] That's kind of hilarious.

[1997] They could just steal Kiyas.

[1998] I know.

[1999] But there's junk.

[2000] You know, but they're cheap and they don't break that much.

[2001] Like, if you just need something to get around, it just sucks that they could steal them so easy.

[2002] So you're not going to congratulate me?

[2003] Bought the Mustang.

[2004] Oh, that's right.

[2005] I sent you a picture.

[2006] That's right.

[2007] I finally did it.

[2008] I've been talking to you about it for 15 years.

[2009] I wanted a Mustang.

[2010] And I always had kids in college.

[2011] I get fucking worried about money.

[2012] I always spent my money on trips.

[2013] Like, our family travels a lot.

[2014] Like, that was a...

[2015] Cars were never a big thing.

[2016] But yet, there was always a teenager.

[2017] They fucking wanted a Mustang.

[2018] And then finally, I just fucking did it, like...

[2019] Which one did you get?

[2020] It's just a Mustang.

[2021] Which, what model?

[2022] The Eco Boost.

[2023] The Eco Boost you got the six -cylinder engine?

[2024] I don't know what it is.

[2025] How is it?

[2026] It's fun as shit.

[2027] Yeah?

[2028] I took it.

[2029] up into the Malibu Hills or San Monica Mountains the other day with my wife.

[2030] And you've got those little like serpentining roads and fucking, it handles unbelievable.

[2031] And it's so low to the ground.

[2032] You turn and you just feel like you're turning with the car.

[2033] Yeah, you're not used to a car like that.

[2034] No, no. I was driving a Prius and a Subaru.

[2035] It was awful.

[2036] And now I feel alive for the first time.

[2037] I knew you were going to ask me was a fucking GT or something.

[2038] Yeah, if you're going to get a Mustang, you got to get a V8.

[2039] That's a great for Simmons move.

[2040] Get that eco boost.

[2041] Baby steps, so now you're hooked?

[2042] I'm in.

[2043] Now you're in.

[2044] Well, now I got a little more money, too.

[2045] Yeah.

[2046] My kids are out.

[2047] Yeah, you're fine.

[2048] Yeah.

[2049] Spending money now.

[2050] Spending it like a fucking, like a main.

[2051] It's been a good.

[2052] I've had a good couple years, but like it's all going back.

[2053] I put a lot of it into this special that I shot at your club, by the way, at the mothership.

[2054] I heard it's great.

[2055] It's out today.

[2056] Oh, did you?

[2057] Yeah, I heard it's great.

[2058] Oh, that's nice to hear.

[2059] The guys who saw it when you filmed it, so he killed.

[2060] Yeah.

[2061] It was, you know, because I was going to do it before the pandemic happened, and then that stalled it out, and then I came back, I shot it at one place.

[2062] It meant too much to me to put out a bad version of it, so I edited it for three months, and then I just fucking scrapped it entirely.

[2063] And then when I did, there we go, and then the great Adam Eaget said, hey, we'd love to have you.

[2064] Joe, we'd love to have you do a special here, and I was like, are you fucking kidding me?

[2065] and I came in and I didn't have to do shit I didn't have to like build a backdrop because Brian Simpson I think is the only guy that's put a special out from this place so like that backdrop is beautiful and people haven't seen it much Yeah so I don't think it matters anyway Like how many fucking times you've seen people do stand up from the cellar and you see the brick wall You don't go oh that brick wall I can't even enjoy these jokes Right right yeah but at the same time Like I wanted it to be special It's been a long time since I put a special out and this material is like again I've been working on it for like eight years so I wanted it to really pop and so I got in I bought in 800 pound gorilla they shoot a lot of the specials and they just you know I spent some money and I did it right and uh fucking psyched about it nice and what's it's it going to be on YouTube it's on YouTube right now it comes out today YouTube is the move man yeah it's it's such a good move for like getting your stuff out there you know you can you get millions of views and everybody can get it you can get it on your phone you could share it that's the thing I love about YouTube is like someone can send it to me like a link to your thing and I can just watch it right away which is nuts there's no other platform like that and it's also I love that I can see the comments I mean if you put it on Netflix or Comedy Central I guess there's going to be some conversation on certain places but YouTube it's right fucking there and you can see how many people are watching it and you know I just don't want my wife and kids to watch the last 10 minutes that's where I start giving it to the old lady a little bit Yeah, tell them just dear clear Yeah, they don't need to see that They don't need to see your act Come on, stay away from that That's my business Yeah, you can see that's for the rest of the world Yeah, you can see the trips I take you on That's all you need to care about Dad's Mustang That's all you're concerned about Yeah, now that you're hooked I'm gonna get you into something more crazy Oh yeah?

[2066] Yeah, yeah, yeah Next one, we're gonna step you up a little bit No shit Yeah, yeah, you need to feel like boom Yeah, feel some real excitement Feel the rum one to the balls Yeah, real rumble.

[2067] You need to hear a V8.

[2068] You need to roll the windows down and rev it in a parking structure.

[2069] What was that Mustang you drove into the comedy store one night?

[2070] You had like a 68 fastback, was it?

[2071] No, no. That was probably my Corvette.

[2072] No, you had a Mustang.

[2073] No, I definitely did.

[2074] Oh, no, no, no. I had a more modern Mustang.

[2075] Oh, maybe that's what it was.

[2076] I had a Shelby G .T. 500.

[2077] It was like a 2012 convertible It was great It was very rumbly Yeah That was fun That car was ridiculous Any gas at all When you're making a turn The ass hand kicks out Any gas at all It was so overpowered Didn't have the fattest tires In the world But god damn it was fun That was the first One of those cars That I had ever gotten Whereas a modern muscle car I had had muscle cars Before like the old school ones But the modern ones are even more fun to drive Because you can actually drive them They actually have good brakes They actually have good suspension.

[2078] They're designed well.

[2079] If you get like a modern, like Mustang has a thing called the Dark Horse.

[2080] So the Dark Horse is their like top end car that you can get with a manual transmission.

[2081] It's fucking great.

[2082] It's like 500 horsepower.

[2083] It handles really, see if you can find Mustang Dark Horse.

[2084] That's the top of the line before they get into the GT 500, which is only automatic.

[2085] So like the, I think the Dark Horse is the last.

[2086] one that you can get that's got a standard transmission.

[2087] Right, right.

[2088] I need that.

[2089] Yeah.

[2090] If you have a muscle car, I need that fucking I need that.

[2091] Yeah, yeah.

[2092] I need that.

[2093] That's it.

[2094] That is a sick car, man. That's a sick car.

[2095] I just love that they're still making cars like this.

[2096] They're just full -on muscle cars, but with like performance suspensions and great brakes now.

[2097] Look at that fucking...

[2098] I know, because that was the wrap on old Mustangs, as they were fast, but you went in a corner and you like got slammed against.

[2099] the side of the car.

[2100] Look at that thing.

[2101] Nasty.

[2102] Yeah.

[2103] Those are fun.

[2104] I don't know what it is about Mustangs.

[2105] It's just the American car to me. Yeah.

[2106] Well, they're fucking incredible, man. And they've been around forever.

[2107] I have a 68.

[2108] I have a 68, like one that looks like Steve McQueen's one from Bullitt.

[2109] Yeah.

[2110] Fucking great.

[2111] Yeah, that's the one, the 68.

[2112] They're great.

[2113] It's an American car, like a truly American car.

[2114] Is it all new guts?

[2115] Oh, yeah, it's all new.

[2116] It's for this company Revology makes them.

[2117] They take it from the ground up.

[2118] It's basically a 2 ,023 -1968 Mustang.

[2119] Yeah.

[2120] You mean, even the doors close really well, push -button start.

[2121] Like, you feel like you're driving a new car.

[2122] Yeah.

[2123] But it sounds, sounds right, feels right.

[2124] Like, it's exciting.

[2125] Yeah.

[2126] I know my wife wanted me to get a Tesla, and I was like, I want to feel it.

[2127] I want to feel that fucking rumble.

[2128] Tesla's actually faster, though, isn't it?

[2129] Way faster.

[2130] My Tesla is my fastest car own for sure, by far, not even close.

[2131] It's 1 .9 seconds, 0 to 60.

[2132] Damn.

[2133] That's insanity.

[2134] Well, it's insanity because then people don't hear you coming, and you're going that much faster.

[2135] That's true.

[2136] That's true.

[2137] But it's also gets you away from things.

[2138] Like, if you see something about to happen, you could get out of there quicker.

[2139] You can merge on the highway, like instantaneously.

[2140] You never have to worry.

[2141] am I going fast enough?

[2142] Like if I merge in this lane, am I cutting that's too close?

[2143] You can just, you're gone.

[2144] And are the brakes that much better?

[2145] No. No, you could get upgraded brakes, though.

[2146] There's a company called Unplugged that will take it, and they put upgraded brakes.

[2147] They widen the fenders and put wider tires on it and change the suspension and make it totter.

[2148] But the brakes are good.

[2149] The brakes on, they're not the best brakes on my Tesla.

[2150] It's not like a Porsche's brake.

[2151] like a Porsche with like ceramic carbon ceramic brakes those are incredible like if you get like a really good modern brake set up you know six piston six you know front brakes there's big calipers those things can really fucking slow down a car quickly so the Tesla's not as good as those but it's good enough it's good but it's a heavy ass car too that they're having a problem with um guardrails I was reading this thing about electric cars like they drove one of those Rivian trucks it just goes right through those guardrails because it's way heavier than a regular car.

[2152] Oh, no shit.

[2153] Yeah, you have to think about that.

[2154] Yeah, Rivians had a big callback.

[2155] I think they're okay now, but they called back like every one of them at one point.

[2156] Oh, for what?

[2157] Like a year ago.

[2158] I can't remember what it was, but...

[2159] You know what's incredible?

[2160] Have you seen a lucid, lucid sapphire?

[2161] No. Lucid sapphire is the company's kind of struggling.

[2162] They're having a hard time selling these things.

[2163] But I think they have some Saudi Arabian money now, so maybe they're going to be okay.

[2164] but they have a thing called a sapphire that's one of the most insane electric cars ever built.

[2165] Wow.

[2166] It's like a Mercedes, like incredible attention to detail, like incredible interior, luxurious, and zero to 60 is even faster than my car.

[2167] I think there's zero to 60 is something bonkers, like 1 .7 seconds.

[2168] Wow.

[2169] Yeah, scroll back up where it says the acceleration.

[2170] Here it goes.

[2171] Okay, 2 .2 seconds to 60 miles an hour, a quarter mile of 9 .28 seconds, which is bananas for a car.

[2172] Which, that is so crazy.

[2173] Yeah.

[2174] I mean, it's so fast, but it also has incredible, so it says the timer backs this up with more outrageous numbers zero to 60 in 1 .9 seconds, and then a 9 .05 second at 154 miles per hour for the quarter mile, which is bananas.

[2175] That's so fast.

[2176] And it handles really well, great breaks.

[2177] Have you taken the Tesla onto a track?

[2178] No. But it's a lot more expensive.

[2179] I think those are like that one, the sapphire, I think that's like a quarter million dollars.

[2180] Where is it from?

[2181] I believe it's an American car.

[2182] At least it's made in America.

[2183] I think they make them in Arizona.

[2184] Insane car, though.

[2185] 250 grand.

[2186] Yeah.

[2187] So they're doing cars like that now where it has all these things, but you still have to charge it.

[2188] But now Samsung apparently is coming out with a new battery for electric vehicles that they've apparently been working on that can charge in nine minutes and it has a 600 mile range.

[2189] I heard about that.

[2190] Yeah.

[2191] That's a game changer.

[2192] Nine minutes is a game changer.

[2193] That's a game changer.

[2194] But I'm going to plug it in and I'm going to run away because who fucking knows how long the amount of juice that's going to that batteries?

[2195] Who knows if a gas gets loose or who fucking knows, man. I don't want to be nowhere near those batteries.

[2196] That scares the shit out of me. I know.

[2197] You've seen those videos of guys getting in elevators with e -car batteries or e -bike batteries and the batteries explode?

[2198] I've seen that.

[2199] And they just fry.

[2200] And people's houses burn down because they leave the, if you leave it charged in your garage, it will ignite sometimes.

[2201] And it blasts fire.

[2202] It doesn't just light on fire.

[2203] It blasts fire.

[2204] It's like it's all condensed in there.

[2205] Yeah.

[2206] And when it goes, it goes like a fucking fire bomb.

[2207] There's a video of a guy in an elevator.

[2208] It's horrific.

[2209] He sets it down on the ground and it just like sparks and then just full on fills the elevator with fire.

[2210] There's nowhere to hide.

[2211] This guy just cooks alive inside that elevator.

[2212] Imagine that.

[2213] You're trying to save a few bucks by getting an electric bike and you burn your house down.

[2214] It's also this is this ridiculous thing that we have.

[2215] where we think that that's eco -friendly.

[2216] I'm going to be eco -friendly.

[2217] I'm going to drive my electric bike.

[2218] That is not eco -friendly.

[2219] Like, you're using electricity.

[2220] That electricity probably requires somewhere, somewhere someone's burning something to make that electricity.

[2221] Whether it's coal or, you know, it could be natural gas.

[2222] Something's happening where there's a combustion and that's how you're getting this electricity.

[2223] What is that putting into the air?

[2224] You lazy bitch, just ride your bike like a regular bike rider.

[2225] You fucking lazy bitch Oh, don't show me this That also doesn't even get into what we're talking about With the coal bolt mining That has to go into it And the disposal of the batteries Which nobody really understands I changed my mind Show it to Greg I was saying don't show it to me But show it to Greg, Greg, let me see this So this poor dude He sets it down Now look Oh it's before even set it down Bro, it just Yeah, death Just death Yeah It freaks me out Jamie stop it I was looking at they couldn't the rid someone looked into what this was and there's a lot of stories on what it may have been not really sure what the I'll tell you what a lug you know what lugs your hotel is you put me up in this beautiful hotel and the elevators are always there that's the difference between a good hotel and a bad hotel right when you have to wait no matter what floor you're on you push the by I swear to god two seconds the thing is there and then I'm in the middle of I'm on the road for a month right now I'm home for two days because I'm out promoting the special and doing road work on the weekends in between.

[2226] So I was like, yesterday, I was like, fuck, I got to do some laundry.

[2227] And so I look on my Google Maps, is there a place for drop -off service?

[2228] Nothing.

[2229] I would have to drive like 15 minutes in an Uber.

[2230] So I was like, fuck it, I'll just do the hotel laundry.

[2231] And it's like a luxury hotel.

[2232] So I put my clothes into the bag.

[2233] It was five pairs of socks, five T -shirts and five pairs of underwear.

[2234] Came back, it was $105.

[2235] I was like, fuck.

[2236] man you could have bought those exactly that's Dom I Rarie used to do that he used to buy fresh underwear and fresh socks everywhere he went no shit yeah yeah he goes I don't want to wash them yeah that's great he made good money I mean if you're gonna spend money on something yeah right right and I don't buy expensive socks you know but again who's making those socks That's right.

[2237] All right.

[2238] You know the Sheen, is that that clothing company that sells stuff real cheap?

[2239] I don't know.

[2240] Have heard of that, Jamie?

[2241] Sheen?

[2242] I was just reading something today about people finding, like, letters.

[2243] Like, please help me. I have dental pain, like that kind of shit.

[2244] Yeah.

[2245] I'm forced to be stuck here.

[2246] Did Sheen get in trouble for using child labor?

[2247] Is there something about that?

[2248] And what store is selling Sheen?

[2249] I mean, I know.

[2250] I think it's an online thing.

[2251] Okay.

[2252] Because I know sometimes the big ones like Walmart, they get in trouble for.

[2253] some of the places they shop.

[2254] Well, that's the thing, man. It's like if you're buying something from an American store, you have no idea where it was made and how it was made.

[2255] Conspiracy theory claiming Sheen workers sent pleas for help and clothing has tens of millions of views on TikTok.

[2256] There's no evidence to support this particular theory despite criticism of Sheen's business model.

[2257] Yeah, but Google Sheen in trouble for child labor or confirms child labor.

[2258] There was something about that today.

[2259] There was something in the news, child labor yeah.

[2260] Okay.

[2261] This just says two cases.

[2262] Sheen says it found two cases of child labor and its supply chain last year.

[2263] So you've got to think, right, like they send their stuff to factories to get those factories to make their stuff.

[2264] If they found two in China, I mean, China they protect what's going on in these factories.

[2265] You think, I mean, Does this count the North Koreans that are being held?

[2266] Right.

[2267] Well, maybe it's not for this company.

[2268] Company said it did not find any cases of child labor in Q4 of 2023.

[2269] That's real specific.

[2270] Did you look?

[2271] It started up that was only found during Q1 and Q3 or something earlier in the year.

[2272] Okay.

[2273] So in Q4, they weren't doing it anymore.

[2274] Which is weird because that was the kid's name that they caught doing the child labor.

[2275] It should be made in America.

[2276] You should be able to buy American stuff.

[2277] And there's not that many companies that are selling things in America, unfortunately.

[2278] Tom's shoes?

[2279] Tom's shoes?

[2280] Yeah.

[2281] Is that what you buy?

[2282] It's called Tom's.

[2283] Yeah, they sell you a pair of shoes, and they donate a pair to a third world kid that has no shoes.

[2284] Oh, that's nice.

[2285] You know, those barefoot kids?

[2286] Yeah, that's nice.

[2287] Not barefoot anymore.

[2288] There you go.

[2289] What are the companies?

[2290] I guess Patagonia, they're very conscious about where they manufacture.

[2291] I would imagine any of those, like, rocky mountain climbing, people companies, you know, like North Face.

[2292] Right.

[2293] It'd have to be pretty ecological.

[2294] Yeah.

[2295] I heard REI's not doing good.

[2296] What do you mean?

[2297] The company?

[2298] Their practices or the company?

[2299] No, the company is not doing good.

[2300] Dude, I fucking love that company.

[2301] Love that place.

[2302] They got one in Marina Del Rey that's huge.

[2303] And I don't know, I get so excited just walking through the aisles, finding cool shit.

[2304] It's the only place where you buy waterproof matches on a whim.

[2305] Like, yeah, I might need those.

[2306] Right, right.

[2307] I need a can't team that I can also take a shit into.

[2308] I need a 100 ,000 lumen flashlight.

[2309] Case there's a fucking raccoon in my garbage.

[2310] Boom, motherfucker.

[2311] You see those flashlights they have?

[2312] They have crazy flashlights.

[2313] Yeah, yeah.

[2314] Like some of those, like, LED flashlights, they're so powerful.

[2315] It's bananas.

[2316] But we used to have flashlights.

[2317] They were bullshit.

[2318] I know.

[2319] They had that one stupid bulb and that silver reflective area on the outside supposed to amplify the light from this one shitty light bulb.

[2320] And you had to put in those, like, giant double -D batteries and weighed like eight pounds to carry it around.

[2321] I think they all need those down for it.

[2322] Well, I think with these really high lumin lights, the LEDs don't draw much electricity.

[2323] Dude, all my camping stuff is solar.

[2324] Really?

[2325] Yeah, my lanterns are all solar.

[2326] It's great.

[2327] And they collapse.

[2328] It's collapsible.

[2329] And then it pops up.

[2330] I think it's a Coleman.

[2331] It collapses, and then it pops up and then charges.

[2332] It's got a nice light.

[2333] My friend Adam Green Tree, he does a lot of these solar.

[2334] where he goes into the back country for like a month at a time just him by himself living off the land and he has this it's like a tarp you lay out it's a solar tarp like you unfold it and he uses it to charge his phone charges cameras like anything he wants to charge yeah yeah I bet you those boats those people that take a boat from you know Hawaii to mainland US they must have everything must be solar you have to have something solar right you have to at least some kind of backup yeah Like, if your generator goes down, you're stuck in the middle of the fucking ocean, you can't even rescue, you know, like send a rescue message.

[2335] Yeah.

[2336] Dude, if you told me we're going to send you on a sailboat to Hawaii, I would be like, I'll just die.

[2337] You could just, you could kill me. Going into storms with 20 foot waves on his sailboat.

[2338] In the middle of the ocean, dude, in the middle of the ocean.

[2339] How about that guy that died in Italy?

[2340] Do you hear that story, that crazy story?

[2341] What happened?

[2342] So there was this guy who was.

[2343] on trial.

[2344] He was some billionaire character who was on trial for, I forget what the charges were, but there was a very low probability of him beating the case, and he went up beating it.

[2345] And then he's on the island of Sicily.

[2346] He's around Sicily in the ocean, and a water spout out of nowhere hits his boat, sinks him and kills him, I believe killed his daughter, and maybe a few other people as well.

[2347] And then Some people swim to safety.

[2348] Oh.

[2349] But what are the odds that this water spout takes out this one guy's yacht right after this guy gets off on apparently, allegedly, ripping off a bunch of very wealthy people?

[2350] Oh, yeah.

[2351] Now, his co -defendant gets hit by a car.

[2352] He gets killed, too.

[2353] No shit.

[2354] Nothing to see here.

[2355] Not in Sicily.

[2356] That shit never happens in Sicily.

[2357] I don't know if the co -defendant got killed in Sicily.

[2358] The co -defendant might have got killed somewhere else, but I know they're both dead.

[2359] Damn.

[2360] Quick.

[2361] Yeah.

[2362] It makes you wonder.

[2363] Like, don't fuck with rich people.

[2364] Mm -hmm.

[2365] Do not.

[2366] Yeah.

[2367] Because they can make someone rich to get rid of you.

[2368] Mm -hmm.

[2369] Like, what do you, how much you think you're worth?

[2370] Mm -hmm.

[2371] Like, if someone's worth $80 billion and you rip them off for, like, $5 billion, you're like, I want this motherfucker dude.

[2372] Yeah.

[2373] And you go for a walk on a beach with a guy, and everybody leaves their cell phones at home.

[2374] You explain how it's all going to get done?

[2375] And then a water spout just shows up in the middle of the ocean.

[2376] I mean, what are they using satellites?

[2377] What access to fucking killer weather technology do they really have?

[2378] Yeah.

[2379] What do they have?

[2380] Like, let's assume this is a conspiracy, because it might not have been.

[2381] It might be God.

[2382] God might have said, fuck this guy.

[2383] Yeah.

[2384] Which is horrible because he also said, fuck the guy's daughter and a bunch of people working on the boat.

[2385] But if God did that, it's pretty crazy, right?

[2386] That's one option.

[2387] One option is it's some strange karma that God just decided it's your time.

[2388] Another option is just complete coincidence, just this took place to this guy, he's just on the ocean, and shit happens.

[2389] It's just crazy, just circumstance and people are going to attribute it to a conspiracy.

[2390] The other possibility is that they can do that, that some force in the world has the kind of technology that can direct a storm to a very specific spot, that can create a water spout.

[2391] Like seeding the clouds or something.

[2392] Something probably more complicated than that, like some sort of a direct energy weapon.

[2393] Like something where they can do something with the ionosphere, do something with lasers, I don't know what the fuck they're using, but some kind of technology that can amplify weather and point it to a very specific place.

[2394] Which is crazy to think.

[2395] Like imagine if there's a hurricane machine out there.

[2396] If we know that, like, Japan starts talking shit, oh yeah?

[2397] You want to talk some shit?

[2398] How about we send a hermitain your way?

[2399] And you don't even know you can do hurricanes.

[2400] So if you don't know that we're creating the hurricane, you think you just got hit by a hurricane.

[2401] Nice.

[2402] Like how much control do they have over storms?

[2403] Or sieges.

[2404] Like a siege used to be you surrounded the city and you kept any food from coming in.

[2405] Now, how about a drought for a year?

[2406] Right, right.

[2407] Maybe they can do that.

[2408] Well, they know, what does this say?

[2409] The story says, potentially could have been avoided if the ship had been treated or cared for correctly because they knew that a storm was coming and they didn't do some things they should have done including buttoned down all the hatches, lift up the anchor and a few other things were on the list I saw.

[2410] So there's an investigation going in they might have man slaughter charges or something.

[2411] Probably the offenses were committed because of the way that people set the boat up.

[2412] Yeah, they're not even positive if, they could have survived that storm.

[2413] if those things were done, that's what they're saying.

[2414] Stop trying to be a party pooper.

[2415] I'm trying to promote conspiracy theory over here.

[2416] So imagine if you do have control of the weather, what would you do?

[2417] You'd start a storm first.

[2418] Can't just have this water spout up here out of nowhere.

[2419] Let's start a fucking storm.

[2420] The guys out there boating?

[2421] Okay, let's start a storm.

[2422] Like, can they start a storm?

[2423] Well, how much control?

[2424] I mean, I don't know anything about it except, like, what do they call it, cloud seating?

[2425] Cloud seeding is real.

[2426] How much control do we have over the weather now?

[2427] well cloud seeding is real they do it in Abu Dhabi once a week so they have it rains once a week in Abu Dhabi because they're insanely wealthy right and they're like wouldn't it be nice if it rained so let's fucking make it rain so there's chemicals these spray in the clouds and it's something about it changes the weight of the water vapor but there has to be clouds yeah I think there has to be clouds but there's kind of always clouds like some clouds in Dubai though recently they had a disaster where they fucked up and they overamped and they got more rain than they've had in seven years.

[2428] And so there's like supercars like floating down the street, like mad flooding because they don't really have the infrastructure to deal with that kind of water, like just pouring down.

[2429] Did you see any of that footage?

[2430] No. I'm pretty sure this has all been, they've all tied this into cloud seating.

[2431] See if that's true.

[2432] But the footage of the flood is fucking bonkers.

[2433] So if there's cloud seating, will they not be fighting?

[2434] between places about who gets to pull the water from the clouds?

[2435] Because you'll exhaust the air and the water eventually, in the sky eventually.

[2436] I wonder if that's true.

[2437] I wonder if there's more up there than we think there is.

[2438] And I wonder what the negative consequences are.

[2439] Like, does it have an effect on other parts of the world?

[2440] So the heavy rainfall continues to pound UAE.

[2441] Several flights canceled.

[2442] So it was, I had some friends that were over there while this was happening, and they said it was nuts.

[2443] Like, they're just not designed for that, so buildings were leaking.

[2444] Like, everything was flooded.

[2445] Like, these buildings are not really set up.

[2446] Look at all those cars, like, sunk underwater.

[2447] These buildings, some of them are not really set up.

[2448] Look at the fucking airport.

[2449] That's nuts.

[2450] It's like a swimming pool.

[2451] They're not set up for this kind of rainfall or any kind of rainfall.

[2452] They probably did a shit job building them.

[2453] They didn't weatherproof them.

[2454] They didn't think it was going to rain.

[2455] When you're in the desert, sometimes that shit backs up.

[2456] Yeah, but this is, like, raining for days.

[2457] So was it because of cloud seeding?

[2458] Does it say?

[2459] Google that.

[2460] I'm pretty sure they attributed to the cloud seating, which is nuts that they can do that.

[2461] That's wild.

[2462] So we can make it rain.

[2463] Yeah.

[2464] Yay.

[2465] So that's kind of simple, though.

[2466] That's not starting a storm and it's certainly not directing a storm.

[2467] So it makes you wonder, like, okay, that seems pretty straightforward how they do the cloud seeding.

[2468] But is there any sort of technology that's even feasible that would allow you to manipulate the weather?

[2469] So like if we understand the conditions in which certain storms emerge, like hurricanes, it has to do with the warming of the ocean, like the ocean water and then a cold front coming in above it.

[2470] There's a bunch of different factors that happen like would it be possible to mimic those conditions or to artificially stimulate those conditions is it even feasible like how would you warm the ocean that's insane so big how you gonna do that saying this is just a crazy weather event that happened with like a low pressure system not moving right they had forecast that it was gonna happen did they do any cloud seeding though that there's reports that cloud seating may have had the thing but BBC says they're unable to independently identify whether cloud seating took place right because of I was working for the UA, I'd be like, I don't know what fuck you're talking about cloudseating.

[2471] Like, you know how much insurance is involved in all this?

[2472] No, no, this just happened.

[2473] Do you know how much money is lost there?

[2474] Just think of that.

[2475] Think of how much repairs, how many cars got drowned.

[2476] I didn't do it.

[2477] I don't know what fuck you're talking about cloud seeding.

[2478] What is this?

[2479] Science fiction movie, bitch.

[2480] It's 20 people.

[2481] That's the Department of Cloud Seating.

[2482] We're not clouds.

[2483] And they fucked up.

[2484] We're not cloud seating.

[2485] We just, it rained.

[2486] Yeah.

[2487] It rained in the middle of desert.

[2488] By the way, the BBC, like, When I think about, because everybody talks about, like, which news sources can you trust, and neither side trusts the other side.

[2489] BBC kind of feels like the place we can all go, that's pretty good.

[2490] They're pretty good.

[2491] Yeah, it's real hard with anything that's a corporation.

[2492] If you really want to get news, I get some unbiased news.

[2493] There's a thing, what is it called, 1492?

[2494] Is that what it's called?

[2495] Oh, yeah.

[2496] Well, it's basically just fact -driven news stories, no editorial bend to it whatsoever.

[2497] Not owned by a board that's on one side or the other.

[2498] Exactly.

[2499] So I get that.

[2500] Somehow I trust, like, BBC's pretty good.

[2501] Guardian, BBC.

[2502] But anybody that's got some sort of an agenda, any one way or the other, you know, whether it's to minimize one person's activity or maximize, another person like what are just tell me what happened tell me who did what and what what took place and just don't don't give me any words like far right don't say extremist don't say any of that stuff just tell me what a human being did what another human like what started this well that's why i prefer uh people magazine over us because like when i see ben affleck with a giant starbucks cup and it says he's just like us i'm like fucking that's it's it that's the real deal that's fact i used to read people magazine every week my wife was working in a doctor's office and i'd say fucking steal that people magazine so nuts i just i just love i don't know why it's because it's so much after all the other bullshit news that you're looking at just to go like all right just i want to see a country singer who's got a new fucking baby and it's sweet it's all just super low frequency information i used to love those fake ones Whether they were, like, was it, which ones were the ones that were talking about Bigfoot and UFOs all the time?

[2503] Oh, the National Enquirer?

[2504] No, no, not that one.

[2505] National Enquirer was like gossipy stuff.

[2506] Oh, the world news.

[2507] World News report.

[2508] Yeah, yeah, that's the one.

[2509] Those were great.

[2510] They had the worst, like, Photoshop pictures.

[2511] And I'm like, give me that.

[2512] What did you do?

[2513] What did you do?

[2514] My father was, you know, my father was in broadcasting, and he did a lot of voiceovers.

[2515] And so one of his accounts was the, it was the National Inquirer.

[2516] And his voice would come on every week.

[2517] All the commercials for National Enquirer would come on.

[2518] Yeah, that was my debt.

[2519] Give me a bit.

[2520] I don't want a cop of story, sorry.

[2521] Just let me see some of those.

[2522] Look at the Bat Child.

[2523] Look at the Bat Child found in cave.

[2524] Hillary Clinton adopts Alien Baby.

[2525] Does look like Chelsea a little bit.

[2526] There's Bat Child found in cave.

[2527] Look at that.

[2528] Bat boy leads cops at three -state chase.

[2529] First photos of heaven.

[2530] They're amazing Computer virus spreads to humans Princess Diana is alive Bat Boy signed in New York City Bat Boy got a lot of coverage She must have sold a lot of episodes Pregnant man gives birth Look, that was ridiculous back then Now it's like of course Of course he gave birth Oh my God There's Bigfoot runaway bride But look at the bride It's so clearly like a holograph It's not, they didn't even try.

[2531] It's a drawing.

[2532] It's a big foot with a fucking veil on.

[2533] Oh my God.

[2534] Fat Cat owns 23 old ladies.

[2535] Titanic Captain found a lifeboat.

[2536] Do you see that one?

[2537] Oh my God.

[2538] Oh, that's amazing.

[2539] It's so funny.

[2540] Oh, they were so good.

[2541] They were so good.

[2542] Yeah.

[2543] It was just, it was just ridiculous enough.

[2544] They were like, give me that.

[2545] Yeah.

[2546] Give me that.

[2547] that you what did you do you son of a bitch it was the onion before the onion was yeah yeah oh yeah there was always bigfoot's a lot of bigfoot story oh jackie with crippled kennedy proving he didn't die in dallas oh yeah he just got crippled yeah and getting shot in the head will make you crippled on your it's funny just circle a blurry photo that's him how the fuck you know that's him it's just stupid they just lied to you but they lie the lies are so ridiculous it's like it's okay Yeah.

[2548] Like, some kind of fraud we allow.

[2549] Like, we allow, like, preachers that, like, televangelists, you know, like the...

[2550] Preachers.

[2551] How about fucking religion?

[2552] Oh, yeah.

[2553] How about the, this new kind of, like, the Christians are taking over the country and forcing us to put the Ten Commandments on the sides of fucking courthouses and get it taught in schools?

[2554] Who's doing that?

[2555] It's a fantasy.

[2556] Wait a minute.

[2557] Who's doing that?

[2558] What, the courthouses?

[2559] Yeah.

[2560] Where's that happening?

[2561] What state is that?

[2562] Maybe it's Texas.

[2563] I don't know.

[2564] Really?

[2565] Yeah.

[2566] Was the Ten Commandments always there?

[2567] Are they trying to reintroduce it, or are they trying to introduce it?

[2568] Well, there's different Ten Commandments, first of all.

[2569] Like, there's the Catholic Ten Commandments, and then there's the Lutheran Ten Commandments.

[2570] So I don't even know which one they're using.

[2571] But is it Alabama?

[2572] One of the states is forcing them to put the Ten Commandments.

[2573] Really?

[2574] Find that.

[2575] On the side of courthouses.

[2576] ACLU sues over 10 commandments in courthouse saying biblical text violates religious liberty and this is from 2001.

[2577] Now this is in the last year.

[2578] Huh.

[2579] Are you sure?

[2580] You haven't been just on the liberal news report?

[2581] Positive.

[2582] Probably get it in Venice.

[2583] You guys all lie to each other.

[2584] It's all about homeless people in the 10 commandments.

[2585] There's a monument between the Texas State Capitol building and the state Supreme Court building Oh, it's just a monument?

[2586] It stood on grounds between Texas State Capitol building and the state Supreme Court building monument was one of several scattered around the capital grounds its location did not draw special attention to it huh that's not it you know uh what scholars from Israel think the 10 commandments were what Moses and the burning bush like that whole thing yeah they think it was DMT they think that the that the acacia bush is very rich in DMT yeah and they think it's it's indicative of a psychedelic experience and this is the instead of smoking this compound it's a burning bush like this is how how you would get that analogy, especially when you're dealing with a story that's told over a thousand years before it's ever written down.

[2587] Yeah.

[2588] And it's translating all these different languages, but if you break it down to what it is, these scholars now believe that some sort of a psychedelic experience where he comes back and said, God has given us these rules to live by.

[2589] In that case, I'm in.

[2590] I'm in on those Ten Commandments.

[2591] They came from somewhere real then.

[2592] Yeah.

[2593] Well, I think all of it, if you stop and think, I always bring this up, but it's a good point.

[2594] Like, in the beginning there was light.

[2595] Well, isn't that the Big Bang?

[2596] I mean, we believe in that.

[2597] Like, all scientists that are studying the origins of the universe believe in the Big Bang.

[2598] There's new people like, well, not new, like Sir Roger Penrose, who has been on the show before, who now believes that the Big Bang was the end of another universe.

[2599] And that it's probably this endless cycle.

[2600] And it's not as simple as there was nothing and then there was something that there's always this expansion and contraction.

[2601] And then these cosmic events take place.

[2602] and they birthed new universes.

[2603] They just manifest different types of life forms at different times.

[2604] That's all completely speculative, right?

[2605] What they do know is what they can see, right?

[2606] So what they can see is some sort of evidence, some sort of a background evidence of this event that took place.

[2607] They're still arguing about how much time ago it took because the James Webb Telescope.

[2608] They've seen some structures and some galaxies that are so far away.

[2609] they shouldn't have been able to form in the amount of time that it took from the current understanding of the Big Bang.

[2610] And some people want to push the Big Bang back 22 billion years now instead of 13 billion years.

[2611] But it could be that that's just as far, because that's 22 billion years it takes for light to get there to breach us.

[2612] But if it's 100 billion years, that shit's never going to get there.

[2613] We're never going to see it.

[2614] So if it goes back further and further than that, it's just not available to us.

[2615] We don't have the ability to see it yet.

[2616] But we might.

[2617] Yeah.

[2618] You know, now they can, with the James Webb, they can see far further back, and with new telescopes they invent and new methods of detection, they might be able to realize, like, there's no end of this thing.

[2619] Yeah.

[2620] And there was no beginning, and it just keeps happening.

[2621] It makes, it's more logical than it not being true.

[2622] I mean, there's obviously, I mean, all the laws of physics are about the, you know, energy and mass not disappearing.

[2623] It exists, and there's different wavelengths that all life exist.

[2624] We're in such a slim, you know, a frame of energy that, and now I feel like I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

[2625] I know what you're saying, though.

[2626] Yeah, but it's just, it's not logical that there would be just this and not infinity.

[2627] It's silly.

[2628] It's silly.

[2629] But it's also, even if there wasn't, the universe is so crazy, just what we know.

[2630] It is, even if we said, oh, it's only 13 .7 billion years old.

[2631] Like, you don't even know what that means.

[2632] just you know how fucking big that is and by the way we're not at the end of it it's not like where like it blew up and we're as far away we look back that's what we see no it goes that far that way too so it's it's fucking immense beyond imagination you could put it into numbers you could write it down billion this that it doesn't even register you can't imagine how long it would take to get there you can't imagine if you're going to speed of light something taking 13 .7 billion years to arrive at.

[2633] It's so big that even if that's it, if that's the whole thing, even if it's finite, even if they define the universe as a structure, it's finite, and it is X amount of billion years of light year travel until you reach the end of this structure, maybe it rotates into itself, who knows?

[2634] It's still insane!

[2635] So the idea that it's not, it doesn't have a boundary, that there's more of them, that there's a multiverse, that there's an infinite number of them, that they const, there's one of the theories is that in the center of every galaxy there's a supermassive black hole and if you go through that supermassive black hole you will find another universe with hundreds of billions of galaxies each one with a supermassive black hole in the middle of it go through that hundreds of billions of universe like that it's never ending in fractal yeah and also the fact that you know we can travel at a certain speed and the fact that there isn't another life force that can go instantaneously through incredible distances probably for sure they can yeah I mean we were talking the other day, I had this guy and we were talking about, imagine if you were living in the Roman Empire and you show them a garage door opener, they'd be like, what the fuck?

[2636] This is crazy.

[2637] You're nowhere near that thing.

[2638] You press a button and it goes up.

[2639] That's nuts.

[2640] It's a radio frequency, something you can't see, feel, or touch.

[2641] We think it's so crazy, but it might be how we travel through space in the future.

[2642] Just zip to some new spot.

[2643] It'd be super normal for us.

[2644] Like, what are you going to fly there?

[2645] Like an idiot with a jet engine.

[2646] You're going to need stopovers to refuel.

[2647] Yeah, and you hope you don't get hit by a micrometeerite along the way and you get annihilated.

[2648] Yeah.

[2649] You hear about those people that are stuck in the space station?

[2650] Bro.

[2651] Elon has to go rescue them.

[2652] Is that what's going to happen?

[2653] Yeah, Boeing can't get them.

[2654] They're having failures with their jets.

[2655] Apparently Boeing at one time was talking shit about SpaceX, and now Elon's talking shit to Boeing.

[2656] Oh, that's great.

[2657] Because they're going to have to go rescue those people.

[2658] Yeah.

[2659] Is there, is Russia or China, has anybody else going to the space station we can catch a ride from?

[2660] It would be nice.

[2661] Yeah.

[2662] That would be nice.

[2663] I don't know.

[2664] But I know you can't stay up there too long.

[2665] It's really bad for you.

[2666] I heard it's like nine months is the forecast right now, if how long they can stay up there?

[2667] Do you know how long they're supposed to be there for?

[2668] No. Eight days.

[2669] No. And how long are they saying?

[2670] I heard something like nine months.

[2671] This is no fewer than 240.

[2672] The Starliner It will amount to no fewer than 240 consecutive days since the space space.

[2673] When do they run out of food?

[2674] When do they run out of food?

[2675] When do they start eating each other?

[2676] Bro, when do they run out of food?

[2677] How much food do they have up there?

[2678] How can they have enough food?

[2679] How is it even possible?

[2680] What do they do with their shit?

[2681] They shoot it out into space?

[2682] Can't do that.

[2683] What if it lands on somebody?

[2684] Kill them.

[2685] That's happened before.

[2686] Really?

[2687] Yeah, they dropped it out of planes.

[2688] frozen turds have come through people's fucking house roofs yeah like a brick of shit from the sky boom imagine you're watching the super ball like this is amazing a brick of frozen shit from 180 passengers comes crashing through your kitchen roof who do you call for that third ride is wisdom they just can't safely take it back why the helium leaks in several issues with smaller thrusters.

[2689] It's been docked with the space station.

[2690] So like earlier this week, they announced that it will undock without a crew in early September and come back to Earth while they wait for their ride sometime in 2025.

[2691] Oh, my God, in 2025.

[2692] We are in August right now of 2024 talking about this.

[2693] Would you want to not just get on the thing and go with it?

[2694] No. You're left in space.

[2695] Would you take your chance?

[2696] I don't know.

[2697] Oh, you might take your chance.

[2698] What if you're almost out of food?

[2699] Right, you might take a chance.

[2700] You know what's so fucking crazy is that it takes this long.

[2701] When you think about like, what was it, 1969, when we went to the, when we go to the moon the first time?

[2702] Allegedly.

[2703] Say allegedly?

[2704] Allegedly.

[2705] Allegedly.

[2706] That they basically took with no real computers, with, you know, none of the technology we have today.

[2707] Picture a 1969 fucking Camaro going up into space.

[2708] They got up to space.

[2709] And, you know, and they had a space program that was very accelerated.

[2710] They did this shit fast because Russia had thrown down the gauntlet.

[2711] They had already gotten there.

[2712] We wanted to get on the moon first.

[2713] Well, we all had Nazi scientists.

[2714] Oh, that's right.

[2715] Yeah.

[2716] Russia got a bunch and we got a bunch.

[2717] But, dude, they got up there and then somebody hit a wrong button when they, I think, I guess this was, what was the first one?

[2718] Apollo, yeah.

[2719] They hit a wrong button on the computer and they went off course and they self -corrected on a fucking onboard computer.

[2720] Because, you know, if you missed the gravitational pull, you just fucking spin out into space and it's over.

[2721] And these dudes somehow made it with a V8 engine.

[2722] They just got to the moon.

[2723] I think it was an eco -boose.

[2724] And then now today, how is it that it still takes us this long to do the same thing that they did 50 years ago?

[2725] Well, do you know that the Apollo mission, were the only time that they ever sent a living thing into deep space and had to come back alive.

[2726] What?

[2727] Yeah.

[2728] They never sent anything into deep space.

[2729] Like, they never sent a monkey to the moon and had to come back alive to see if the people could survive.

[2730] Huh.

[2731] The first time they did it was with people.

[2732] Wow.

[2733] Yeah, seems odd.

[2734] Damn.

[2735] Seems odd that no mission other than the Apollo missions has ever been past Earth's gravity.

[2736] Yeah.

[2737] So the way all of these missions like Space Station mission, they're all like 300 miles, 350 miles, space shuttle missions.

[2738] Everything's inside 300 miles because it's inside the Van Allen radiation belts.

[2739] So this is this immense band of radiation that covers the Earth that lasts, I forget how many thousands of miles, but it's outside of where all the space travel is.

[2740] Except the Apollo's.

[2741] They went through it, no problem.

[2742] And they tried to blow a hole through it once.

[2743] They actually ignited a nuclear bomb in space.

[2744] It was Operation Starfish Prime.

[2745] So they shot a nuke up into space to try to clear a pathway.

[2746] So they could, like, shoot a rocket through it and have no problems.

[2747] And it made it way more radioactive.

[2748] Whoa.

[2749] It had the opposite effect.

[2750] Instead of blowing a hole through it, it just supercharged the belt.

[2751] No shit.

[2752] Yeah.

[2753] It was a crazy experiment.

[2754] The idea that they would shoot a rocket into space and blow up a nuclear bomb.

[2755] Damn.

[2756] Yeah.

[2757] Pull up our operations start Oh Like pre -satellites 67, 68 somewhere around then Maybe slightly earlier than that Okay Because now you fuck up All the telecommunications If you did that No, no Well, maybe It depends on where you do it I guess But a solar flare Could fuck up all over communications One good blast And all of our satellites are down Starfish Prime Is a high altitude nuclear test It's just a test Gregory, a joint effort of the Atomic Energy Commission and the Defense Atomic Support, oh, 62, was launched in Johnston Atoll in July 9, 1962, is the largest nuclear test conducted in outer space and one of five conducted by the U .S. in space.

[2758] A Thor rocket.

[2759] Imagine your name of your rocket.

[2760] Yeah.

[2761] Thor.

[2762] Containing a W -49 thermonuclear warhead designed at Los Alamo Scientific Laboratory and a MK2 re -entry vehicle was launched from Johnston Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, about 900 miles west -southwest of Hawaii.

[2763] The explosion took place on an altitude of 250 miles, not that high.

[2764] No. That's not that high.

[2765] That's like right at the border of where I think the belt start.

[2766] I think the belt started like around 300, 350, something like that.

[2767] Starfish test was one of five high -altitude tests grouped together as Operation Neutral.

[2768] fishbowl.

[2769] I think in Hawaii they had power outages because of it.

[2770] Wow.

[2771] But did they have power outages?

[2772] Does it say they have power outages in Hawaii?

[2773] Does it say anything?

[2774] This is a whole Wikipedia on the thing, right?

[2775] Hmm.

[2776] I believe they did.

[2777] I think that was one of the issues.

[2778] After effects.

[2779] Okay, here it goes.

[2780] While some of the energetic beta particles followed the earth's magnetic field and illuminated the sky, other high energy electrons became trapped and formed radiation belts around the earth.

[2781] The added electrons increased the intensity of the electrons within the natural inner Van Allen radiation belt by several orders of magnitude.

[2782] There was much uncertainty and debate about the composition magnitude and potential adverse effects from the trap radiation after the detonation.

[2783] The weaponiers became quite worried when three satellites in low Earth orbit were disabled.

[2784] These included the TRAAAC and the Transit 4B.

[2785] The half -life of the energetic electrons was only a few days.

[2786] At the time, it was not known that solar and cosmic particle fluxes varied by a factor of 10, and energies could exceed 1M -E -V, whatever that means, in the months that followed, these man -made radiation belts eventually caused six or more satellites to fail.

[2787] As radiation damaged their solar arrays or electronics, including the first commercial relay communications satellite, Telstar.

[2788] Telstar.

[2789] Yeah, as well as the United Kingdom's first satellite.

[2790] Detectors on Telstar, T -R -A -A -C, engine, and aerial one were used to measure the distribution of the radiation produced by the tests.

[2791] So we fucked up England's satellite.

[2792] Those guys are out of their fucking mind.

[2793] That's insane.

[2794] Hey, fuck it.

[2795] Let's try this.

[2796] They're so crazy.

[2797] Oh, my God.

[2798] Oh, wait, look at this.

[2799] Exposure in outer space, the fallout from Starfish Prime was less than.

[2800] other ground tests estimate for its health impacts and excess deaths including from thyroid cancer are hard to find but overall excess death's impact of thousands of above ground tests have likely amounted between 10 ,000 and 100 ,000 lives just from the the tests well they that's what killed john wayne you know oh is that right john way and the whole cast of a movie he was on got cancer and they did these westerns out in Nevada and what's what I meant before when I said Oklahoma I met Nevada yeah yeah Nevada had a bunch of them yeah that's why they got gambling like let's make a deal the Conquer 220 people on the set of the Conquer 91 were diagnosed with cancer including both Wayne who died in 1979 at 72 and his co -star Susan Hayward who died in 1975 at 57.

[2801] Dude, John Wayne looked a lot older than 72 by the end.

[2802] That was a different time.

[2803] Yeah.

[2804] They didn't have no vitamins.

[2805] They ate mayonnaise.

[2806] I know.

[2807] They had no sunblock, no vegetables.

[2808] It just came up with margarine.

[2809] Yeah.

[2810] Margin is big.

[2811] You know, non -stick surfaces on pans were made out of fucking toxins.

[2812] That was him at the end.

[2813] 72.

[2814] Look at them.

[2815] Wow.

[2816] Rough time.

[2817] Dyes at 72.

[2818] The Duke.

[2819] Oh, I'll tell you.

[2820] AI.

[2821] Quentin Tarantino movie.

[2822] John Wayne.

[2823] The last gunslinger.

[2824] They say when, remember when Brando had the indigenous woman go up and accept his Oscar?

[2825] And she wasn't really indigenous?

[2826] Oh, I didn't know that.

[2827] Yeah, she was a con man. Apparently John Wayne went out.

[2828] They had to physically restrain John Wayne.

[2829] Oh, he went nutty.

[2830] Yeah, he went nutty.

[2831] Yeah, that lady was crazy.

[2832] Her sister was like, we're not Indian.

[2833] Really?

[2834] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[2835] That wasn't her name.

[2836] Yeah.

[2837] Yeah, she was like, outraged John Wayne had to be restrained by six guards during the Marlon Brando Oscar win.

[2838] I'll tell you what.

[2839] Find out that lady, that that lady was not really Native American.

[2840] She had made it all up.

[2841] She came up with a fake name.

[2842] She got up there with the whole poncho on and everything.

[2843] The pony tails.

[2844] She had the big tails.

[2845] It was Halloween at the Oscars.

[2846] Bro.

[2847] She was like one of the first people that like stole culture.

[2848] And she spoke in like a broken English.

[2849] Yes, amazing.

[2850] That's amazing.

[2851] Yeah, her sister ride her out.

[2852] I'm pretty sure it was her sister.

[2853] Well, that's what's, I mean, talk about.

[2854] Can you find that story?

[2855] Pre -internet, like, the woman who ended up like being a leader for the NWACP and she wasn't black.

[2856] Oh, Rachel Dozel.

[2857] She was Jewish.

[2858] Yeah.

[2859] You know, back then, you couldn't be transracial, but I think that's coming.

[2860] I think she was ahead of her time.

[2861] Yeah.

[2862] I think she was ahead of her time.

[2863] I think you could probably be trans white and no one will call you on it.

[2864] Trans white, it's like let her, let them be white.

[2865] Right.

[2866] That's fine.

[2867] I identify as white.

[2868] Okay.

[2869] No one cares.

[2870] You know?

[2871] Like no one gets outraged when a woman turns to do a man. You're like, well, probably shouldn't have done that, but good luck to you.

[2872] Nobody gets mad.

[2873] Like you're appropriating male culture.

[2874] Like women get mad when men become women and then want to go in the women's room and appropriate women culture and then join women's groups and tell women what to do and they're biological males who identify as women.

[2875] Women get real upset.

[2876] But if like a biological woman wants to hang out with the guys and wants to be.

[2877] and wants to pretend to be a guy.

[2878] You know, like, I want to get on the board.

[2879] Like, no one's getting threatened.

[2880] Okay, Frank.

[2881] Join the board.

[2882] Who cares?

[2883] Yeah.

[2884] The Johnlin thing isn't true.

[2885] Maybe it's not true.

[2886] That he didn't rest the stage.

[2887] Oh, that's fake.

[2888] While I'm looking for this thing, I found the story saying that they had to debunk it every few years because it kind of comes back up.

[2889] Maybe he knew she wasn't really Indian, so he didn't charge his stage.

[2890] Maybe it's one of them queuing on things.

[2891] So what is the lady, though?

[2892] The story about the lady.

[2893] That's what I really wanted to hear about Because that's kooky There's a kooky thing that people do They always pretend to be Native American No one pretends they're Polish No, I've got Polish roots Like no one, no one does that No one pretends to be Irish No one says I'm German When you're actually not Although some people pretend they're not German Shortly after the war Yeah, they moved to Argentina Yeah, a lot of them Yeah, and Brazil communities of Brazil They speak German Boys from Brazil.

[2894] Oh, yeah.

[2895] The Argentina thing is crazy.

[2896] Like, they had that show Finding Hitler, and they go down there, and there's, like, these people that have, like, photos of SS troops on their wall.

[2897] That was Grandpa.

[2898] Uh -huh.

[2899] And they wear a leader hosen, and they have fucking October Fest down there.

[2900] Yeah.

[2901] Yeah.

[2902] The whole escaped.

[2903] Fuck.

[2904] It's crazy, dude.

[2905] It's crazy.

[2906] They got out.

[2907] You get the story?

[2908] Yeah, well, I'm making sure it's accurate because that was going around in 2022, and then more recently, I think there was a documentary made in someone.

[2909] hired someone to look into all of this stuff and that's how I was just reading through to see what they found.

[2910] Because they might have found something that says that there is some sort of link but...

[2911] Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the gal was she had some issues and was kind of like making stuff up.

[2912] Yeah.

[2913] I'm pretty sure.

[2914] That's fun.

[2915] Yeah.

[2916] Wild lady.

[2917] I bet she's fun to hang out with.

[2918] Yeah.

[2919] Want to pretend to be an Indian.

[2920] I'm like, okay.

[2921] Let's go.

[2922] Let's go camping.

[2923] Let's see what you really got.

[2924] Yeah, show me how to start a fire Go catch your fish How do you do it?

[2925] How do you guys start a fire?

[2926] Show me how Yeah, her sisters were saying She was a frog Yeah, her sister's rat her out Yeah Pull the story up So we read it's covered by it God damn it ad blockers It's just That thing of people Wanting to be something Other than what they are It's very weird You know But the grass is always greener God I wish I was a Native American That'd be so fucking cool You know Like you pretend you hear things you know like there she is sashin little feather what a great name lied about Native American ancestry sisters claim it's a fraud it's disgusting to the heritage of the tribal people and it's just insulting to my parents she's a nutty lady she was pretty though too yeah she was gorgeous that's probably how she tricked Marlon Brenda it's probably hot she rubbed up against them is like I love Indians Little feather why don't you do me a favor yeah that guy was of his fucking mind yeah got an island became 350 pounds yeah hung out by himself on an island but that's probably why he was so good you know you talk about like original comics like he's the original actor yeah you know streetcar named desire watch that movie yeah like nobody acted like that back then well it was part of that whole he went to the uh neighborhood playhouse in new york and his class at the neighborhood playhouse was james dean paul Newman was Paul Newman's wife's name she was very famous actress yeah I don't remember it was this one group that started and it was you know Stanislovsky taught uh Meisner Meisner started the neighborhood playhouse and that whole voice in acting that was based on it's based on listening and answering and being in the moment and it was about finding emotional truth and coming from that rather than from the dialogue you didn't study the dialogue and recite it you found where the emotional truth of where this character was and then you just unleashed it and you and you found the moment in that and that started this whole kind of like realistic acting right because before that they were like say get away from my girl he was on rhythm suck you yeah yeah right right right why i oughta yeah they talk so weird back yeah and they talk fake it was like fake Like, he was the first guy to, like, oh, that seems like he's really experiencing that right now.

[2927] He's really upset.

[2928] Yeah.

[2929] On the waterfront?

[2930] On the waterfront was incredible.

[2931] Yeah.

[2932] It was great.

[2933] I could have been a contender.

[2934] I could have been somebody.

[2935] Yeah.

[2936] Instead of a bum.

[2937] Which is what I am.

[2938] And everybody was like, whoa, who's this guy?

[2939] Marlon Brando.

[2940] James Dean.

[2941] Same kind of thing, you know?

[2942] They just broke down on stage, the emotions they had.

[2943] Yeah.

[2944] And Newman, too, in The Hustler.

[2945] Oh, my God.

[2946] Credible.

[2947] Yeah, that's 1963.

[2948] That's the year Kennedy was shot.

[2949] That movie came out.

[2950] Oh, no shit.

[2951] I just rewatched it recently.

[2952] It's fucking dark, man. It's so good.

[2953] So good.

[2954] Jackie Gleason was fucking amazing.

[2955] First guy ever to play a pool player that you could say, that guy could actually play pool.

[2956] He's the only one.

[2957] Yeah.

[2958] He's the only one where I buy it, hook, line, and sinker.

[2959] You watch him play the balls, you're like, that guy can play.

[2960] Mm -hmm.

[2961] Yep.

[2962] But Paul Newman, like, hmm, come on.

[2963] Tom Cruise, you weren't buying Tom Cruise?

[2964] Rudimentary.

[2965] Didn't move the ball.

[2966] You could, anybody can make a straight -in shot if you teach them.

[2967] It's like, can you move the ball?

[2968] Yeah.

[2969] How do you move?

[2970] It takes so long to be able to stroke a ball, to be able to, like, get a draw stroke, like, full table, full -length draw.

[2971] Yeah.

[2972] Put English, side spin, adjust for the way it's going to deflect off the other ball, get position on the next shot.

[2973] That's what I want to see.

[2974] And you don't see that in movies where a guy's playing pool except for Gleason.

[2975] When Gleeson's making those shots, you're like, that guy can fucking play.

[2976] He's going into the rack.

[2977] He's moving the ball around.

[2978] You're like, that guy's a player.

[2979] He could run 100 balls.

[2980] Was that character based on William Moscone or on?

[2981] Neither one.

[2982] Oh.

[2983] No. Minnesota Fats used to be called New York Fats.

[2984] Okay.

[2985] And he changed his name to Minnesota Fats after the movie.

[2986] That movie was all about me. Oh, no shit.

[2987] Yeah, he was a con man. Oh, that's hilarious.

[2988] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[2989] He was a hustler, a real hustler.

[2990] Minnesota Fats was a very good pool player but not nearly as good as Willie Mascone Willie Mascone was in the hustler Yeah, yeah, that's right He was one of the guys racking the balls When they had the first big match But Willie Mascone was like a real world champion pool player But in Minnesota Fats was just a really good player I heard he was a good gambler I heard that Willie was a better tournament player And that Fats was a better money player Perhaps Mosconi was just a better player period, all around.

[2991] He'd beat him in everything that they would ever play in.

[2992] There's not a chance in hell that, except there's a game called One Pocket.

[2993] And that was one of the games that Minnesota Fats was an expert at.

[2994] And One Pocket is a complicated game where, like, do you know how to play it?

[2995] No. Okay, so if it's a six pocket table, you have the pocket on the left in the corner.

[2996] I have the pocket on the right, and you must make all your balls in that pocket.

[2997] There's 15 balls in a rack, right?

[2998] When you get to eight balls, you went.

[2999] It means you won the rack.

[3000] If I get to eight balls, I win.

[3001] And so you can make a spot, too.

[3002] Like, say, if I'm a better player than you, I say, I'll spot you 10 to 5.

[3003] You only need to make five balls and you win.

[3004] I need to make 10 balls in my hole and you win.

[3005] And so it's all about moving balls around.

[3006] So you want to keep the cue ball in a position where you can't possibly make a ball in that corner, and you want to nudge balls slowly towards your corner.

[3007] It's all about not making any drastic moves and understanding how to play the game.

[3008] Super complicated gambler's game.

[3009] So a lot of times when people are playing for, a lot of money.

[3010] They like to play this game.

[3011] Wow.

[3012] The games take forever.

[3013] A game might take three hours for one game.

[3014] So if you pot a ball in another pocket, does it stay down?

[3015] No. If you pot a ball in a side pocket, it comes back up and it gets spotted.

[3016] If you pot a ball in the other guy's pocket accidentally, that's his ball.

[3017] Oh.

[3018] And then you lose your spot.

[3019] Dude, we should play that one day.

[3020] It's boring shit.

[3021] Oh, is it?

[3022] Yeah, you'll go mad.

[3023] You just take wild shots and then you fuck up and you scatter the rack and then the guy runs out.

[3024] I'm too ADD for that I need to be moving the ball around I like to play position on the next shot and then that to the next shot but it's a very complicated game that really good players play in Minnesota Fats the real New York Fats is a real name Rudolph Wanderone was his name he was a really good player at that that's the gambling game like to this day like when guys match up one of the things that happens like if there's big tournaments certain guys will show up where these big tournaments are that are just one pocket players and they try to entice one of these pros into a game of one pocket you know and then they they'll bet 50 ,000 60 ,000 100 ,000 you hear about these things this is a place called the Derby City Classic it happens every year in Louisville I think it's in Louisville still but these guys go down there and it's a like a 10 day festival where road players just go down and meet each other they play in tournaments and they try to gamble each other play like two day games oh yeah they do fucking math and stay up for three days in a row I bet that's what they used to do they used all do amphetamines like back in the 70s, they were all real skinny, real skinny and wired and couldn't miss a ball.

[3025] No, that's the thing about pool when you play for a long time, you know, in one match, is you just lose focus for a second.

[3026] And then all of a sudden, it's like golf is the same way.

[3027] You have to go from hyper -focus, totally present, to like relaxing, shooting the shit, listening to music, whatever.

[3028] And then hyper -focus again.

[3029] Yeah.

[3030] Yeah.

[3031] Yeah.

[3032] It's a complicated game.

[3033] Unfortunately, it's not that popular anymore.

[3034] You know, it's just video games are too good.

[3035] It's too easy to entice people into video game land.

[3036] You mean instead of pool in general?

[3037] Yeah.

[3038] Yeah.

[3039] If there was nothing but pool, all these young kids would be into playing pool because it's so exciting.

[3040] My daughter's obsessed with pool.

[3041] Really?

[3042] Yeah.

[3043] So I used to bring her.

[3044] When she was like 19 and 20, she was into pool, but there's no fucking pool halls on the west side in L .A. And so she had a fake idea.

[3045] Isn't there House of Billiards in Santa Monica?

[3046] Closed.

[3047] When did you go under?

[3048] Like three years ago.

[3049] So I would bring her, she had a fake idea, and we would go shoot Bar Pool, and we'd play as a team.

[3050] And I taught her everything, and we would go in, and it was so funny because, like, we'd play against another couple.

[3051] It was two guys, and we'd start shooting, and she got pretty good.

[3052] And you know me, I'm okay.

[3053] And so we would win some games, and then she would say something like, oh, yeah, my father was saying it.

[3054] And then we go, oh, thank God that's your father.

[3055] We thought it's your boy.

[3056] Some old creep.

[3057] Some old creep have found some young, talented pool player to take under his wing.

[3058] But that's what she does.

[3059] She goes out at night with her friends, and she just, she's like that.

[3060] That's great.

[3061] She's like that pool junkie, the one that's all night long hanging around the table.

[3062] Where she live now?

[3063] On the west side.

[3064] Okay.

[3065] Yeah.

[3066] Is there places that you can go to?

[3067] No pool halls.

[3068] None?

[3069] Just bars with tables.

[3070] God damn.

[3071] I think there's one in like Brentwood, but that's far.

[3072] But Hollywood Billiards was the place.

[3073] Yeah, that place was great.

[3074] Yeah.

[3075] There was an original Hollywood Billiards that I went.

[3076] The first time I went to L .A. was in 94.

[3077] But that place got condemned after the earthquake.

[3078] Oh.

[3079] So then they moved it to that big place with the parking lot.

[3080] Yeah.

[3081] And that place, I think, was hard to keep up.

[3082] I used to shoot with Adam Ferraro over there sometimes.

[3083] He's a good player.

[3084] I used to shoot with him in House of Billiards.

[3085] And the one in Studio City.

[3086] Is that where it's at?

[3087] Maybe it's on Studio City Somewhere in the valley There was a house of billiards God damn it I used to do the Monday night tournament there Oh really?

[3088] What is it?

[3089] Nine ball tournament?

[3090] Sherman Oaks That's right Yeah we used to go there I used to go there with Dom too Mm -hmm Yeah Yeah I used to do with Dom He's fun to play with Yeah that's how Dom and I became friends Dom and I did Montreal together in like 93 And then I was at Amsterdam and billiards when it was on the west side, and I showed up, and I had my own cue, and I was putting my cue together, and Dom Herrera walked in.

[3091] And he goes, oh, hey, Joseph.

[3092] I go, you play pool?

[3093] And he had his own cue, too.

[3094] I'm like, let's fucking play.

[3095] And we play it for hours.

[3096] You know who owned that pool?

[3097] David Brenner.

[3098] David Brenner.
