[0] Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

[1] The Joe Rogan Experience.

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

[3] Hello, Russell.

[4] Hello, Joseph.

[5] Good to see you, my friend.

[6] How are you, Pally?

[7] I'm fucking great.

[8] Better now that you're here.

[9] I know.

[10] I called you, and I said, Joe, I really want to do your podcast again.

[11] You said, sure.

[12] Anytime, buddy.

[13] I know.

[14] It was great.

[15] I was very happy.

[16] I thought you were going to be like, oh, man, you know, I got so many people out here.

[17] Come on, Russell, you and I go back, my friend.

[18] I tell everybody I wear the watch you gave me every special, and I have since 2014.

[19] Oh, really?

[20] I didn't know that detail.

[21] That's an interesting detail.

[22] You gave me a watch once.

[23] It was the most ridiculously generous thing ever.

[24] I was looking at your watch.

[25] You go, that's a nice watch.

[26] You want it?

[27] And you took it off and gave it to me. I'm like, Jesus Christ.

[28] So I've worn it every special.

[29] I've tried that with you.

[30] I was like, Joe, that's a really nice Porsche.

[31] Yeah, it is.

[32] And you walked away?

[33] Oh, it's a ploy.

[34] I see how it works.

[35] Well, it never worked.

[36] It never worked.

[37] So I took your advice and I started my podcast.

[38] I heard.

[39] Yes.

[40] How many have you done so far?

[41] I think I've done it maybe eight or nine maybe.

[42] Are you enjoying it?

[43] I'm having a good time with it, you know.

[44] Why did you wait so long?

[45] I don't know.

[46] I really don't.

[47] It really wasn't until you're prompting that I started to look into it.

[48] And then you said you'd be my first guest, but I was like, let me get some people under my belt first.

[49] Get rolling.

[50] Yeah, let me get rolling.

[51] Yeah, that's like, you know, becoming a white bone, go, hey, let me roll with you.

[52] You're like, no, don't do that.

[53] Are you, do you have a studio at your house?

[54] Like, where do you have your studio?

[55] There's no studio.

[56] I just do it in my backyard.

[57] Oh, nice.

[58] Like, I have, like, a little porch area with a, with a humidor, and then we sit around like this, we smoke cigars, we have some drinks.

[59] I like outdoor podcasts.

[60] Anthony Coomia used to do his in his backyard.

[61] That was by force, not by choice.

[62] Well, when he left New York, when he left Opie and Anthony.

[63] He went back to Long Island and built his little...

[64] The compound.

[65] His compound.

[66] Yeah.

[67] But he used to do it just like sitting out by the pool.

[68] Yeah, the pool's right there.

[69] And, you know, you'll hear planes go by and stuff.

[70] It's nice.

[71] But it's like this.

[72] It's just conversation.

[73] It's just hanging out.

[74] I took a page out of your book.

[75] I was like, people are like, well, what's it going to be about?

[76] I go, I just want you to hear me and my friends hanging out and talking.

[77] Yeah.

[78] You know, a little fly -on -the -wall business there.

[79] Yeah, that's all it needs to be.

[80] This idea that it needs to be something very specific.

[81] Like, what are you going to talk about?

[82] Like, you need an angle.

[83] Yeah.

[84] You need a hook.

[85] Yeah, I'm like, there's no, like, I go, I'm going to have a tough time fucking sticking to that script.

[86] Yeah.

[87] Well, I don't know, the, some people, like, Ari has a theme for most of his podcasts.

[88] Ari's a very themed, thematic guy.

[89] Even when he came up with the TV shows, you know.

[90] You would always have a theme.

[91] And when he would have those shows at the store, okay, we're going to do this night.

[92] Do you have a blah, blah, blah, blah story for that?

[93] Yeah.

[94] Yeah.

[95] You know, which is good.

[96] And, you know, it challenges the guest a little bit.

[97] Yeah.

[98] Which is nice, but...

[99] Well, that's how he came up with his show.

[100] He came up with the idea for his show when he was just trying to figure out ways to work on bits that are storytelling form.

[101] So he said, you know what I'll do, I'll just do a whole storytelling show.

[102] When you don't do your act, you just tell a story.

[103] Right.

[104] And then he set it up in the lab, the old lab, before it became that weird lab in the improv.

[105] Oh yeah, yeah, and Melrose there.

[106] Yeah, and then he started doing it there, and then next thing you know, it was a fucking Comedy Central show.

[107] I know, I did a couple of those.

[108] This is not happening.

[109] I did This Is Not Happening.

[110] But then he had the other ones that he would do live before he was recording him.

[111] Yeah, what did he call those?

[112] Were those called This Is Not Happening as well?

[113] No, one of them, I think one variation of it was, but the earlier ones were some sort of like road stories or whatever.

[114] I can't even remember why he stopped doing the show now.

[115] I think it was because that little episode happened with when who died.

[116] No, it was before that.

[117] Was it before that?

[118] Yeah.

[119] Somebody else died.

[120] I think they canceled him basically.

[121] And then they replaced him with somebody else.

[122] I'm trying to remember what it was.

[123] God, I can't remember.

[124] They fuck with Ari a lot.

[125] Well, Ari's a wild man. Ari's a wild man, but if you know him...

[126] He's a legit wild.

[127] He's a beautiful person.

[128] I love him to death.

[129] If you know him, he's a great...

[130] guy he's a great guy i love him i love him to death but he's a wild man but that's why he's a great comic he's wild you know i there's a lot of great comics or wow we just got to be more forgiving with those people they don't mean to be bad yeah you got to understand people is what it is you got to understand like i always say it's about the intent you know it's not it's not what they're saying oh look at the intent look at see if see if there's something if they're actually being diabolical or if they're just right they're just not thinking yeah well it's like a lot of impulsiveness involved in some folks in our business you know and sometimes they think it's a good idea and you want to call them up you know right before they do it and catch them usually you don't yeah it goes out and then you go hey no it's like a social media post you know in the moment you're like this is going I'm fucking feeling and I'm going to put this out there and I've been guilty of it and I've and I've stop myself from it too at the same time you know yeah there's a lot of uh comics that like social media is not a healthy thing for them it's it's just too there's too too much of a minefield you know oh yeah yeah and that's the thing i'm always careful about what i'm posting like i have you know i have this company that cuts my bits together for me and subtitles them and then they'll send it to me i won't i don't know what they're going to send me because it's always like crowd work stuff that they're sending because i don't want to burn material Right.

[131] And I'm like, fuck, that's funny.

[132] But I know that this one line in there is going to cause a fucking shitstorm of people to be like, what's wrong with you?

[133] You can't.

[134] And I'm like, you're missing the fucking point, pal.

[135] Dude, I watched Step Brothers the other day.

[136] You could not make that movie today.

[137] You could not make it.

[138] And it was so good.

[139] You can't make a lot of things that we made five years ago today.

[140] Can you imagine if they tried to make Step Brothers today?

[141] But by the way, here's a question.

[142] When was the last time we saw a really good funny movie, like a recent funny movie?

[143] We have not.

[144] We have not.

[145] They don't exist.

[146] It's hard because they're trying to incorporate too much.

[147] Well, you're trying to be woke.

[148] You're trying to apply these rules that are created by these people that just want to kind of control people's ability to express themselves.

[149] Well, they want you to show this world that matches their imaginary world.

[150] You're like, but that's not my world.

[151] Not only that.

[152] It's like, come on, man. Do you really get offended when you watch stepbrothers?

[153] Does that offend you?

[154] You've got offended by stepbrothers.

[155] You've got issues.

[156] That's why I don't feel like the people are getting offended have their own things that they're dealing with.

[157] Yeah.

[158] And they just need somebody to blame.

[159] Well, they're just deciding what people can and can't say and don't, you know, whatever they think is non -acceptable now in this new world of just calling out everybody for everything.

[160] I think about my act when I started like 32 years ago.

[161] I'm like, holy shit.

[162] What the fuck was wrong with you?

[163] so many problems so problematic hey did you watch the Canella fight this weekend I was working I didn't see it at all I saw the highlights she broke his face bro he hits so hard broke that orbital bone he's one of those guys that like you know some guys just have power right but he works on it all the time that's what I say he's the most in every fight he's the most improved fighter he always goes back and fixes anything he saw wrong yep well the Danny Jacobs' fight?

[164] Remember his head movement?

[165] Yep.

[166] It's, I mean...

[167] It gave Danny problems.

[168] We could give anybody problems, but it was also like he was showing his head movement in that fight.

[169] Yeah, because they used to say he just walked right in and then he fixed it.

[170] There was a video of...

[171] There's a video of Deonté Wilder yesterday I saw it, and he's looking really good.

[172] Malik Scott King is training him now.

[173] What is he doing with him?

[174] Oh, he looks like a completely different fighter.

[175] I think if you could find that...

[176] Oh, is he like using a lot of jabs?

[177] Jabs and planting his feet and he's...

[178] He looks like a boxer now.

[179] He doesn't look like a wild man just leaping off his feet and throwing these wild punches.

[180] And I'm excited to see him fight now because he looked really sharp, looked like a real boxer now.

[181] Don't you think he needs a few fights like that with lower, lower tier competition?

[182] Look at that.

[183] Look at that.

[184] Sitting on him, bam.

[185] The jab is very important.

[186] But he's going to need some tune -up fights, don't you think?

[187] He should definitely have a, just to see how that style works in the ring.

[188] But he's moving.

[189] You see the way he's moving?

[190] You never move like that before.

[191] But again, he's a guy that has fucking preposterous power.

[192] Yeah.

[193] Is it?

[194] Power's so weird, you know?

[195] It is because he's so thin.

[196] You're like, where's it coming from?

[197] Well, Tommy Hurons.

[198] Yeah, well, Tommy Hurons.

[199] He knocked Roberto Durant out cold, the only guy ever.

[200] Second round.

[201] There's just guys that just have preposterous power.

[202] And Canelo is a guy that has power but is constantly working on.

[203] There's a great clip of him working with Andy Ruiz.

[204] and they're uh you know that one that shield that weird hand shield yeah when you hold which for hooks yeah and he's like this is not for speed this is just power just power he's like don't don't try to be fast with this just power and you see him just boom hey boom everything is and so in that fight with billy joe and billy joe kept doing that that same lean over and over like after he would punch he would lean out of the way and he just timed it perfectly with that uppercut and threw everything in it that's the thing he He really watches you in a fight.

[205] He's not like some knucklehead who knows how to.

[206] He really pays it.

[207] He's very aware.

[208] And to me, I was never a Canelo guy before.

[209] But after the past five fights, I was like, you know what?

[210] If I'm not a Canello fan, now I'm a fucking hater.

[211] But I am a fan now because I really appreciate his work ethic, you know, the way he fucking...

[212] Look at it.

[213] Yeah, this.

[214] See, it's about power.

[215] Yeah.

[216] See, this is the thing they're working on.

[217] They just...

[218] And he'll...

[219] do that over and over and over again.

[220] So he's a guy who already had big power, but he's constantly working and developing that power.

[221] So like in a fight like the Saunders fight, there was massive consequences to anything that Saunders did.

[222] Did you see, how about that fuck?

[223] I watched that fight.

[224] The Chris Ariola fight?

[225] Yeah.

[226] Chris Ariola cracked him.

[227] He did it.

[228] A few times.

[229] He had him on Queer Street a couple times.

[230] Yeah.

[231] Are you allowed to say Queer Street anymore?

[232] Yes, you can stay.

[233] It's an odd street.

[234] It's an odd street.

[235] Well, queer is not even, it's not derogatory.

[236] Like, queer is a distinction.

[237] Like, it's a part of LBGTQ.

[238] Yeah.

[239] Queer, it's okay, which is interesting, right?

[240] Because queer used to be derogatory.

[241] My dad used to use that as a derogatory term to me. I'd wear, like, I came on a pink shirt, my God, have you become queer?

[242] And I'm like, what?

[243] Your father's accent's amazing.

[244] Does he really talk like that?

[245] He used talking like, have you become queer?

[246] And I'm like, what?

[247] My son would use the, like, he was, he was an English major, so he would always pick these words, I would make it go, what the fuck?

[248] My brother would, like, we all lived in the same house, obviously, growing up, and my brother was a bigger guy.

[249] And then my dad would be, we had breakfast to the next morning, my dad would like, Clayton, what time did you come in last night?

[250] My brother's like, you know, 2 .30?

[251] And he's like, I know, I heard you lumbering around like a bloody elephant upstairs.

[252] Bloody.

[253] Lumbering.

[254] Lumbering around like a bloody elephant.

[255] That's the thing about Canadians.

[256] You've adopted, Canadians have adopted some of the vernacular of the Englishman.

[257] Well, my dad grew up in India under British rule, so.

[258] And we're mixed, so.

[259] I knew a girl from Canada, and she used to say she was going to the loo.

[260] Oh, she was just trying to be special.

[261] Oh, you think so?

[262] I don't like when people say cheers either.

[263] All right, cheers, pal.

[264] You don't like cheers?

[265] No, when they're saying thank you, you know.

[266] Oh, cheers, man, thanks.

[267] Oh, oh, right, not like cheers with the glass.

[268] Cheers for the drink, but, hey.

[269] Cheers, mate.

[270] Cheers for the cigar.

[271] No, motherfucker, thank you.

[272] Right, right.

[273] I see what you're saying.

[274] Yeah.

[275] The term cheers for like a thank you, bothers me. Yeah, cheers.

[276] Because it's like, are you really going to fucking cheer?

[277] Hey, Joe, gave me a cigar.

[278] Hooray!

[279] Well, it's like Aloha.

[280] It's got a lot of names.

[281] This bothers me. Unless you're Hawaiian, this bothers me. Does it?

[282] It bothers the shit out of me. You better not surf.

[283] I know.

[284] people that take pictures with me like the surfers love that shit i get it for them and and hawaians i get it but surfers i'm like random dudes are like i'm like jihitsu guys like too chaka oh that's where it bothers you yeah i'm like what are you doing listen you're a part of the culture now you got to adopt a lot of jihitsu weirdness i know and i don't say oss us us us yeah even john jac i ask somebody goes ah it's stupid we don't use that well it's a it's really not um a jujitsu thing as much as it was more of a karate thing.

[285] Us was a karate thing, but it's like a respect thing.

[286] I remember the ki -eyes.

[287] Oh, key -eyes when you throw punches.

[288] But O's like, you say it, like, it's almost like kind of tongue -in -cheek when most guys do it.

[289] O's, but they're serious, you know, they're saying respect.

[290] It's like saying respect.

[291] I don't know how to use it, so I don't bother with it.

[292] And I'll use poha because that's, you know, you hear that all the time, you know.

[293] Poha has a lot of things.

[294] It's calm.

[295] It's nuts.

[296] I believe I mentioned it on the last time I was on.

[297] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[298] They all do it.

[299] They all say, Brazilians love to say poha.

[300] Brazilian is that Portuguese from Brazil is such a beautiful language because it's so flowing.

[301] Baja buzabuza, it's got like a sing song.

[302] Yeah, but if you hear the Portuguese from Portugal talk, it's like the very different accent.

[303] Oh, I don't even know what it sounds like over in Portugal.

[304] Yeah, because when I hear like, you know, the guys in the jihitsu world speaking and you hear them talking, they're always laughing and making jokes.

[305] and you know they're making jokes and breaking each other's balls but you know what they're saying.

[306] Oh, I was do you know what they're saying.

[307] Oh, I was just like, oh, yeah, my de Jaze me, my de Jhaja, who de Poha.

[308] I was listening to Henzo.

[309] Henso Gracie has a clip on his Instagram.

[310] Yesterday he posted something in all Portuguese.

[311] All Portuguese.

[312] Yeah.

[313] And I'm just like, I just like hearing it.

[314] Play it.

[315] Just get, because Henzo's got like the perfect Portuguese - Brazilian accent.

[316] Hanzo has that accent.

[317] That, that pitch he hits with the sports.

[318] He's a fucking worldwide.

[319] I would say national treasure, but he's Brazilian.

[320] hills.

[321] So he's a worldwide treasure.

[322] Yeah, he's a worldwide treasure for sure.

[323] He's an job of art of this academy.

[324] He's looking at pictures on the wall of like famous Jiu -Jitsu guys.

[325] That's the famous Matsonautsaintéviot.

[326] That's the famous mats of New York City.

[327] Henzel Gracie Academy.

[328] A guy who does, it's a zebra, of a vez in a while.

[329] But I'm a bolsonarist.

[330] No, It's a beautiful language.

[331] It's beautiful.

[332] It's when he does it, it sounds good.

[333] He attends Medicaid, who receives the money of the government.

[334] It's always, I never have anyone there, and I have certain that I pago.

[335] The mendigues to say that are doing physiotherapy there.

[336] He sounds like he's just talking shit to you, doesn't it?

[337] It might be.

[338] Because of the look into Henzo's face all the time, he probably is talking shit to you.

[339] One of my favorite Henzo stories was Henzo live streamed him beating these dudes' asses who were following him trying to mug him.

[340] Oh, I remember that.

[341] I remember that.

[342] These poor fucks, they decided they were going to mug Hensow.

[343] Like, what a fuck.

[344] And he, like, took pictures of his knuckles after he beat their asses.

[345] And it was like, what a great day.

[346] It was in New York City, right?

[347] Yes.

[348] Yes, I remember that.

[349] This was pre -pandemic when New York City was slightly more safe, like quite a bit more safe, actually.

[350] It's pretty sketchy now.

[351] I've trained with HALF a couple of times.

[352] Half's a dangerous man. Oh, man. Hough shows me dirty moves.

[353] He's a mean dude.

[354] Yeah, he's a great guy, but he'll be like, okay, show me, show me what, you know.

[355] And I'm like, I'm scared of you, Halv.

[356] I'm not fucking, I'm not smashing you.

[357] I'm rolling real light.

[358] And he's like, you need to go back to the basics.

[359] I'm like, no, I just don't want to fucking, I don't want to feel what you're going to do to me if I put my pressure on you.

[360] How often do you train these days?

[361] Not as much as I want to.

[362] What do you want to?

[363] I want to train three times a week, four times a week.

[364] What have you been doing like one or two?

[365] Yeah, lately it's been like once a month.

[366] Are you doing other stuff?

[367] Do you have like a personal trainer or anything like that?

[368] No, I just got my yoga ball and some dumbbells.

[369] Dude, get a personal trainer.

[370] Get someone who you're accountable to, so you have to show up.

[371] You know, they show up at your house.

[372] Like, all you need is a yoga ball and some dumbbells.

[373] I mean, you get a good trainer.

[374] You don't need a lot of equipment.

[375] Yeah.

[376] Get someone who, like, makes you do stuff.

[377] Yeah, I just want a jits.

[421] Yeah, I mean, it takes something to happen for you to realize you're in a fucked up place, too.

[422] Mm -hmm.

[423] Yeah.

[424] That pandemic kicked my ass.

[425] I got to be honest.

[426] That shit kicked my ass.

[427] Well, I mean, out of nowhere, all of a sudden, you don't make any money.

[428] Yeah, and then you realize how much you were spending.

[429] Mm -hmm.

[430] And then your accountant goes, hey, fuckhead.

[431] Yeah.

[432] Can't live like that.

[433] I go, oh, I mean, I knew I couldn't live like that then, but now I really can't live like that well lucky for you you had property sold some property yeah get your head above water but it would have been nice just tread but it'd be nice if you had that podcast already going right oh yeah see that's what i've been trying to tell all these comics like listen i know like comics don't like to work they like to fuck off but we're lazy that's why we do what we do yeah we're lazy we're impulsive you know and people whenever people try to say that i'm disciplined i always go listen i'm the fucking laziest disciplined person you'll ever meet in your life i get things done but I don't want to.

[434] I mean, it's not like I get up every day, and I'm like, yes, here we go.

[435] What time do you wake up?

[436] Early.

[437] And you go to bed late.

[438] Yeah.

[439] But I get up, I always say goodbye to my kids in the morning, and lately I've been doing hyperbaric chamber sessions.

[440] Really?

[441] Yeah.

[442] I didn't want to talk about it until I know whether or not this is legit.

[443] And?

[444] And I don't know.

[445] I don't know whether or not it's legit.

[446] Wasn't Michael Jackson doing that at one point?

[447] No. He, maybe.

[448] Yeah.

[449] Before he was doing the propoil, he was doing hyper -prepared chambers.

[450] That's right.

[451] Yeah, you're right.

[452] You're right.

[453] He was.

[454] It's supposed to lengthen your telomeres.

[455] There's a study out of Israel where they did 60 sessions over 90 days.

[456] And one measure of biological health and age is the length of your telomeres.

[457] What are your telomeres?

[458] Your telomeres, it's, I'll butcher it.

[459] So there's Michael Jackson.

[460] That's the old school one with a walkie -talkie on it.

[461] Yeah, that's a weird one, right?

[462] Because it's all glass.

[463] That's just, what is it?

[464] Just high oxygen?

[465] It is, yes.

[466] Here, well, let's go to telomeres first.

[467] Google, Google the term telomeres, because I don't want to fuck it up.

[468] But it's, it has something to do, I believe, with your mitochondria, and the length of your telomeres indicates, it's an indication of health and of biological age.

[469] Although the biological age aspect of it is disputed, but people like David Sinclair think it's a good indication of your biological age.

[470] He's been on the podcast a couple times before.

[471] He's a professor at Harvard, and he studies, most of his study is in anti -aging.

[472] Yeah, but go to telomeres, please.

[473] Oh, that's how you spell telomeres.

[474] Yeah, but I mean, I wanted to know the definition.

[475] I had it all wrong in my head.

[476] Just telomeres, just so I could figure out how to say.

[477] It's the end of a chromosome.

[478] Telomeres are made of repetitive sequences of non -coding DNA that protect their chromosomes from damage.

[479] Each time a cell divides, the telomere becomes shorter.

[480] Eventually, the telomeres become so short that the cell can no longer divide.

[481] So this is as you get older, your telomeres become shorter.

[482] And now, Google telomeres, hyperbaric, the thing that you had already.

[483] And what this is, for the first time, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, proven to reverse biological aging in humans.

[484] Does that look like the ones you're doing?

[485] No, I don't know what these people are doing.

[486] Are you doing chamber?

[487] Yeah, I'm in a fucking metal tube.

[488] Do you have one at the house?

[489] No, no, but I'm going to get one.

[490] I know, you're that guy.

[491] Yeah.

[492] You had the, you know, the isolation tank.

[493] I'm getting one in here.

[494] Yeah, we'll have one in here soon.

[495] With saltwater?

[496] Do, do, do, yes.

[497] I remember when you had it in your house when I first started in your podcast, like 11 years ago?

[498] Yeah, yeah.

[499] You showed it to me. Yeah.

[500] Yeah, people think it's creepy.

[501] It's like, uh, yeah, because it is a very, it's odd.

[502] It is odd.

[503] It looks like a meat locker.

[504] Yeah.

[505] Yeah.

[506] Especially the one that the float tank.

[507] That's the one I'm talking about.

[508] That's the one you had.

[509] The float lab is, uh, they make the best ones.

[510] They make these fucking, like super high and crash down in Venice makes the most overly engineered float tanks.

[511] They're so like, like he uses.

[512] What do they go for?

[513] I don't know.

[514] You have to ask him.

[515] I'm not sure.

[516] It's not cheap.

[517] No, I did.

[518] They're like 20 grams.

[519] Plus.

[520] Oh, yeah, no. Forget it.

[521] But it's got like ozone to filter out the water from bad bacteria and kill, you know, any funk that might be in there.

[522] Although, the only person who goes in mind is me. You don't have to have one like that, though.

[523] You can get one that's fairly cheap.

[524] The first one I ever got was a samadhi.

[525] I don't even know if they make those anymore, but that was just a few grand.

[526] That was like, I think it was three grand or something like that.

[527] But it's much less engineered than these float lab ones.

[528] These float lab ones are like super high end.

[529] It's like the Porsche design one.

[530] Yeah, it's like he just goes, he's a mad scientist crashes.

[531] He's been on the podcast before.

[532] He's a wacky cat.

[533] But he's the guy who really, like, float tanks for a long time were a dying thing.

[534] No one was using them.

[535] When did you discover it?

[536] Because I know you had it 11 years ago when I...

[537] I first discovered it earlier than that.

[538] I discovered it, I think, in the early, in late 90s maybe, I think the first time I did one.

[539] and then I got one in like 2002, somewhere around then, 2002, 2003.

[540] I got one in my house.

[541] And then I got, I had a friend who was servicing my float tank, and he told me about the float lab.

[542] He's like, this one is okay.

[543] He goes, but it's kind of, the way it's made is not the best.

[544] He's like, there's a guy in Venice that makes these insanely engineered ones, and he showed me some photos of it.

[545] He said, you really be better off getting one of these.

[546] is they just, you're going to have less problems.

[547] Because one of the problems I had was my heating element had burned through my liner.

[548] Something had shorted out.

[549] Oh, wow.

[550] And it burned through the liner.

[551] And so it flooded the inside of the tank.

[552] And the, like, it went through the liner into the base of the tank.

[553] And it fucked everything up.

[554] And so he had to drain it and fix it and do all this stuff.

[555] He's like, this is not the best engineered one.

[556] You really need to get, like, a better one if you want to have the best experience.

[557] And it was just way better in terms of, like, sound insulation.

[558] and the float lab ones are just, they're incredible.

[559] How long do you sit in them for?

[560] I like two hours.

[561] Two hours.

[562] Two hours is what I like.

[563] Well, you're a little extreme.

[564] So what's the average time?

[565] An hour is the average person.

[566] I see you're posting those sauna ones too.

[567] Yeah, I like that too.

[568] What are you at now?

[569] A hundred and...

[570] I like 185, but it really goes up to 200.

[571] It's at 200, though.

[572] It's weird.

[573] It's like, the way those things work, sonnas, it depends on where you're at.

[574] like if I'm sitting at the top bench my head isn't 200 but if I lay down in the bottom bench I'm really at like 185 you know so it's how long you're sitting in that for now 25 minutes and sweating your ass off sweat my ass off yeah but it's like my problem is when I get into a son I get bored as fuck yeah I listen to books see I'm afraid my phone's gonna overheat or whatever I don't use your phone I use AirPods AirPods don't overheat for whatever reason I figure this out so you leave the phone outside I have have AirPods specifically for using the sauna because I have like my one that I use when I'm talking on the phone that I never take in the sauna because the sweat gets into these things and it completely fucks up the microphone so if I try to call people they're like where the fuck are you sound like her underwater it's it fucks up whatever the microphone is like the soaking of the sweat so these are just for listening yeah I only have I have a one pair that I wear just when I'm inside the sauna and they don't burn out.

[575] So you can listen to books.

[576] So I'm listening to this book on Cabesa de Vaca who's a Spanish.

[577] Yeah.

[578] He's a Spanish explorer that landed in North America in the 1500s and walked across the country.

[579] It's a crazy...

[580] You ever want to complain about the weather?

[581] You ever want to complain about your life?

[582] Oh, fucking COVID, kick my ass.

[583] Listen to me. Read this fucking book.

[584] It's called a land.

[585] so strange.

[586] It's amazing.

[587] My friend Hank told me about it.

[588] He's the security guy at Kill Tony, big giant Native American cat.

[589] Oh, they're with the hat on?

[590] Yeah, I met him last night.

[591] Great guy.

[592] Hank told me about this book and he was raving about it and boy, was he right.

[593] It's amazing.

[594] So are these, the stories told from notes he left?

[595] Yes, notes he left and then, you know, him telling a story back home when he eventually got rescued or made it back to Spain, which I believe happened.

[596] I don't know.

[597] Wait, where did he land?

[598] They landed in modern day.

[599] They landed in Florida.

[600] Okay.

[601] And they made their way across Florida.

[602] And then they got to the Gulf of Mexico.

[603] They did all this with rafts.

[604] They sailed like, I don't know how many fucking miles in rafts.

[605] And then they got attacked multiple times by Indians when they would get to shore.

[606] And some Indians took care of them.

[607] And some Indians attacked them and killed them.

[608] and what a fucking harrowing journey man i mean i'm on chapter i think i'm on chapter eight now and so far they've been at it for 10 i think he's been in america for 10 years at this point or close to it how many people are with him six years seven years well they got down to four started with spoiler alert 400 everybody died except four dudes wow it's fucking crazy dude it is a crazy story and it also details like what it was like in North America in that time like the Mayan civilization the Aztecs the Native Americans it's it's amazing I love stories about like the like what it was like hundreds and hundreds of years ago because in the in the if you look at the world in terms of like the hundreds of millions of years of people or that, rather, hundreds of millions of years that life has been here on earth and then look at the amount of years that people have been here.

[609] We've only been here like 300 ,000 years, 400 ,000 years, whatever it's been.

[610] Then you go like 500 years ago, which is what this is.

[611] That's nothing.

[612] It's nothing.

[613] It's a blink of an eye.

[614] But my God, it's so different.

[615] In every way.

[616] I mean, you look at 100 years ago and it's so different.

[617] Yeah, it's crazy.

[618] But this is really wild, man. Like our civilization itself has leaps and bounds.

[619] Yeah.

[620] It's almost puzzling that we never fucking came across any of this stuff 500 years ago.

[621] Like we never thought about doing any of these things.

[622] Well, we didn't have safety.

[623] See, this is the thing that humans need to innovate.

[624] They need safety.

[625] Right.

[626] They need quiet and they need, like, peace.

[627] You can't be, like, fighting off catapults with fucking flaming bodies headed your way like the Mongols were doing.

[628] You know, when you're fighting wars constantly and you're constantly being invaded and you're worried about people raping your women and stealing your food, there's no innovation.

[629] You're not going to get anything done.

[630] It's like when things get safe.

[631] But they still had like their medicine men and I'm sure they had like their, you know, what would be the tech people of the time that they would, you know, they would be the warriors that would go out and do that and then they would protect these people to innovate the village or whatever.

[632] There was no innovation.

[633] I mean, although the medicine men, like, they knew some herbs and some plants and some things that were good for you.

[634] But for the most part, you're fucked.

[635] Yeah.

[636] You get sick, you're fucked.

[637] You break your leg, you're fucked.

[638] You know, most of the time you're fucked.

[639] A lot of it was you're fucked.

[640] We went back to being fucked again somehow.

[641] Nah, barely.

[642] We barely did.

[643] But I mean, this is the trend of moving towards good things has good aspects and bad aspects, right?

[644] And the bad aspects is you could not make a movie like stepbrothers anymore.

[645] People are trying to make things so safe.

[646] We evolved to devolve.

[647] Yeah, we got a little crazy.

[648] Yeah, hopefully this all goes away.

[649] I have problems with it, you know.

[650] I have problems with it.

[651] It'll balance out a little bit.

[652] It will because there's this really weird balance of being told to be tolerant while the people.

[653] Yeah, it's a very fucking, I don't understand.

[654] But you want me to tolerate you, but you're not going to tolerate my adjustment time.

[655] Well, the compassionate people are the biggest bullies online.

[656] Yeah, well, it's fake compassion, right?

[657] Well, they think they're doing the right thing.

[658] They think they're doing the right thing.

[659] They really do.

[660] They think they're doing the right thing.

[661] And they think they're fighting against oppression and bigotry and all these other things.

[662] And in their mind, that's the quest.

[663] That's what they're doing.

[664] Yeah.

[665] I was walking around in Austin yesterday.

[666] and it was a ACLU booth in the middle of nowhere on Congress.

[667] And it's a black dude standing there.

[668] And he sees me and he goes, hey, you're that guy.

[669] And I go, hey, you're that black guy.

[670] And there was two white girls with him.

[671] And they were like, oh, my God, did he just call you a black guy?

[672] And I'm like, do you think I'm the fucking guy that broke the news to him?

[673] I go, he knows.

[674] Well, not only that.

[675] If he knows you, he knows so much of your material is racial.

[676] Well, I just, you know, when I meet people, I like to.

[677] talk to them on their level you know i'm not going to come here and say joe there's this new rain dj system you're going to be like okay you know you want to talk to people on a level where you want to i want to let them know i recognize this about you and then we'll go from there well your comedy is that like your comedy is like pointing out racial differences but ultimately bringing everybody together through humor right if he knows who you are he knows that's what you do yeah he's always Yeah, because it's always friendly and warm -hearted, and it's playful.

[678] It's all playful fun, you know, but like I've seen you get yelled at before about this, like online, people get upset at you for your comedy.

[679] It's like, come on, man, you don't have to listen, you don't have to watch it, but obviously the fucking arena's packed.

[680] People are enjoying this.

[681] There's definitely a group of people that don't agree with you.

[682] They're not wrong.

[683] I always say the people that want to cancel you aren't the people that were ever going to buy.

[684] ticket to see you yeah exactly so i'm not really worried about appeasing them what i want to keep my constituents uh you know happy exactly yeah it's you know people can just decide that what you do is no longer appropriate but but to who to you was never appropriate to you you didn't like it in the first place there was never a time you were going to enjoy me and if there was then you're you know it's a fucking odd time it's a weird time russell but it's also a weird time for them it's like they're they're getting sucked into these ideologies too they're getting sucked into all this group think and there's so little like real one -on -one interaction when it comes to these kind of ideas and talking about things what's appropriate what's not appropriate that's what the problem is there needs to be more conversations happening yeah like if i have questions about i have a trans friend and i ask her questions all the time that if you did if you didn't know her and i were friends you'd be like are you attacking this person i'm like no i'm asking fucking question so i can get some clarity so i understand the situation better yeah it's funny that like the some things you can make fun of and it's okay and everyone knows that you don't mean anything bad by it you're just making fun there's certain things you can make fun of well yeah when you're friends you know what i mean so once you're friends with somebody you you enter this other world of ball breaking yeah and you know if you don't know the person you're attacking them i'm like no I would never attack this person and my friend Well it's weird too to me that like The Trump administration during the time The Trump was president It really showed some hypocritical thinking By a lot of people Because one of things you're never supposed to attack Is someone's body You're not supposed to body shame Right What was the thing they always attacked?

[685] He's got a little hands Probably got a little dick Look at his fucked up hair Look how fat he is Like it was all body shaming Yeah remember when the doctor said he's a perfectly healthy And was like no he's not Look at him I'm like who are you to fucking tell you know what I mean I didn't believe that doctor either though I didn't believe that doctor's full of shit that doctor's like got one eye looking that way what the fuck are you saying the version of him that I saw yeah like what are you saying he's perfectly healthy compared to what like if he's going to be in the Olympics like what are you saying how can he be perfectly healthy he's never worked out a day in his life he's nothing but cheeseburgers and speed and he's 75 years old the fuck out of here he's not healthy he's alive though yeah Well, you know, same with Joe Biden, you know.

[686] When I watch him talk even, I'm like, oh, come on, Joey.

[687] Well, that's the weirdest one.

[688] When people try to defend that, they try to say there's nothing wrong with them.

[689] They've kind of abandoned that now.

[690] Yeah, because it's becoming more and more apparent.

[691] Well, it's worse.

[692] Yeah.

[693] It's the stress of the job.

[694] It's intolerable.

[695] I mean, for anybody.

[696] If you got a 35 -year -old super healthy person in that job in a year or two, they would be a much more broken -down version.

[697] version of themselves.

[698] It's just an impossible job.

[699] If you think kids will age you, become the president of the United States and watch.

[700] Look at Obama.

[701] His hair started black.

[702] He finished it was white.

[703] Right.

[704] Yeah.

[705] It's the same thing.

[706] Bush, too.

[707] If you look at Bush early in office, then look at him late in office.

[708] I mean, it's not a real four years or eight years that he's aging.

[709] Oh, yeah.

[710] It's like decades.

[711] I wonder what his telomeres are saying after that.

[712] Short as fuck.

[713] I'm short.

[714] Dying.

[715] Like Trump's dick.

[716] Get it?

[717] His little telemere hands?

[718] There's no way.

[719] There's no way you could do that job.

[720] Nobody could do that job.

[721] Everybody gets beaten down.

[722] And everyone's like, if I was, I'm like, go for it, stupid.

[723] Go for it.

[724] I want to see how long you last.

[725] The thing is, Trump seemed to handle it ironically better than anybody that's ever done it.

[726] Like, he seemed to age the least amount in that during that time in office.

[727] And he was the most embattled.

[728] It's true.

[729] I'll give you that for sure.

[730] Well, whether you're a supporter or not.

[731] And I constantly get accused of being a Trump supporter.

[732] I did not vote for him.

[733] I'm not a Trump supporter.

[734] not not I know you to be that It's crazy that people keep accusing me of it I like when I watch people accuse you of things I know you're not And I just sit there and I giggle My favorite is he's a racist I'm like oh he's terrible at it if he is I'm a horrible racist He's the worst racist I've ever met in my life You really got to work on this racist thing Joe It's a lot of work Yeah There's too many cool people on the other side You'd have to ignore so much Yeah if you really wanted to be a racist You'd have to ignore so many cool people Yeah I saw I saw I saw a picture of a, I was a clan rally, and, you know, it was all the white power stuff, and the guy was wearing Jordan, so I'm like, uh, I'm like, wait a minute, dude.

[735] I hate black people, but their goddamn shoes are fantastic.

[736] Oh, it's so dumb.

[737] It's the dumbest thing of all time.

[738] Being a racist is literally the dumbest thing.

[739] It's, see, racism is the one that makes me laugh, because I'm like, there's no way you can really, like, there's there may be people in the group that you don't like, and that's everybody.

[740] Everybody has that feeling.

[741] There's somebody in one race that I didn't like but that doesn't mean the whole fucking race is tainted to me well first of all it's dumb because all of us came out of one place they think now this is what they think about human beings that this is a weird theory too they're trying to I'll send you this jamie because it's really strange they're not even sure if this is this is like a theory that they're working on now they think that it's possible that first of all they think that monkeys and primates came originally from Asia.

[742] Here, I'm sending us to you right now, Jamie.

[743] And then we evolved and became humans in Africa.

[744] The thing is they don't know how the monkey got to Africa.

[745] How primates got from Asia to Africa.

[746] I just sent it to you.

[747] It's a long journey.

[748] But they think they might have fucking floated over.

[749] It's a really interesting thing.

[750] But my point is, all of us are Africa.

[751] Everyone is African.

[752] If you go back to the origins of human beings, everyone is African.

[753] That's where we started walking.

[754] That's everybody.

[755] Yeah.

[756] And then humans branched out.

[757] So even the idea of race itself is kind of preposterous.

[758] We vary because our ancestors developed in different climates.

[759] Well, one of the arguments from the racist side is that their theory is that white people are more evolved, hence why they look least like monkeys.

[760] And I'm like...

[761] It's so dumb.

[762] And I'm like, I don't understand this fucking theory.

[763] Well, it's a dumb theory because it doesn't understand why people became white in the first place.

[764] It's because we moved to a shitty climate where there's no fucking sunlight.

[765] And so the human skin, when not exposed to sunlight, gets paler and paler in a desperate attempt to soak up vitamin D. Right.

[766] But then you have the Native Americans who were a little swarthy.

[767] Swarthy.

[768] What do you mean?

[769] Swarthy, a little darker, you know?

[770] Well, they came from Siberia.

[771] All of them?

[772] Yeah.

[773] Yeah, that's pretty much.

[774] They think that.

[775] They think it's...

[776] There is a very common look between the two.

[777] Mm -hmm.

[778] Well, they think it's also possible that there were some...

[779] I mean, because we're dealing with, when you talk about Native Americans, you're dealing with, like, pre -ice age.

[780] Obviously, I'm not a historian, so take this with a grain of salt.

[781] Yeah.

[782] Or a whole bag.

[783] But if you're dealing with people that were in North America, like pre -ice age and during the ice age, They came down the Bering Strait, they think.

[784] They came across the Bering Lambridge from Asia.

[785] Yeah, the Mongolians.

[786] But there's also some possible evidence that people came on boats as well.

[787] They don't really...

[788] They would have to have.

[789] Yeah, they don't know where the Olmex came from.

[790] That's a real weird one.

[791] Those are folks that lived somewhere in South America that have African features.

[792] Right.

[793] Yeah, they don't even...

[794] And they have these big stone heads that were carved that were like 6 ,000 -plus years old.

[795] And they're like, okay, well, where are these guys come from?

[796] They don't know.

[797] So there's still some pieces to the puzzle that needs to be solved, but a large percentage of Native American civilization came out of Asia.

[798] They walked across, they somehow or another, made it to North America and spread out.

[799] That's the theory.

[800] There's that island off of near India, somewhere between India and Sri Lanka that has...

[801] North Sentinel Island.

[802] That's the one, right?

[803] With the black -looking people.

[804] Yes.

[805] Well, they were from Africa.

[806] Right.

[807] And they stayed there.

[808] Yes.

[809] They got in boats 60 ,000 years ago.

[810] And they landed in this island and they can't figure out how to get out.

[811] They just stuck because they don't.

[812] And they're still very primitive.

[813] Yes, because they don't have metallurgy.

[814] They're not even necessarily sure if they use fire.

[815] It's really interesting.

[816] To this day.

[817] Yeah, to this day.

[818] They believe, I mean, you're not supposed to visit them because it's like one of the rare, the rare, true, uncons.

[819] contacted tribes left on earth.

[820] Yeah, wasn't that guy that went there and he got killed?

[821] Yes, yeah.

[822] I have a whole bit about it.

[823] Yeah, about the missionary.

[824] He went to bring the Bibles.

[825] Yeah, that'll fucking teach you.

[826] Well, it's a poor idea.

[827] It's the poor bastard.

[828] I mean, the last thing they need is that.

[829] Can you give him fire first for fuck sakes?

[830] Well, these people had been fucked with, too.

[831] There was a man named Commander Maurice Vidal Portman who went, and he was like an explorer slash pervert who would travel the seas and find these tribes of people and like make them pose and take pictures with them like wearing weird clothes and shit.

[832] Oh, really?

[833] Yeah, and he visited that place.

[834] He visited a couple other places and they think that people like that that visited that exploited these folks and fucked with these folks gave them a very hostile take on intruders.

[835] And so when people come like that guy who came with the Bibles, he probably, didn't do his history, didn't read up on what had happened to these folks.

[836] He thought it was just going to bring the Bibles.

[837] Yeah, I got the good word, guys.

[838] That poor bastard.

[839] He's like, you know, you got killed with a bow and arrow on the beach holding a Bible.

[840] I mean, that is a rough way to go.

[841] I mean, at least he was holding his Bible.

[842] Maybe, at least.

[843] It's like St. Dominic who died with holding the, I think he was holding a Bible when he got killed or something.

[844] Was he?

[845] The weird ones, I shouldn't say the weird ones.

[846] The more tragic ones currently are the ones that are in the Amazon because they get murdered by logging companies.

[847] Yes.

[848] They're trying to wipe them out so they can get those trees.

[849] Exactly.

[850] They find them to be an impediment to their their, I mean, not just trees, whatever natural resources they have that they're trying to exploit in the Amazon and, you know, they find these people slaughtered.

[851] And it happens and, you know, and also activists against these people attacking, they wind up getting murdered as well.

[852] Yeah, because they don't know the difference.

[853] Well, it's not even just that.

[854] It's like they cause trouble for them.

[855] Like they're causing trouble for these companies that are trying to exploit the natural resources of these areas.

[856] It's a very interesting time we're living in.

[857] Do you know that here's what's crazy?

[858] Do you know a lot of the Amazon rainforest, which is this fucking insanely dense, incredible rainforests, a lot of it used to be populated.

[859] And a lot of the growth there is actually because of humans.

[860] a lot of the plants and the reason why it's so dense is because of the stuff that human beings planted there thousands of years ago and now we're trying to get rid of it well it's not even just that we're trying to get rid of it they're just starting to understand like the whole ecosystem of that area like why these why it's so dense and what what caused all this what caused all this intense like vegetation and brush and they think it's possible that a lot of it was caused by human beings see find out what tree that is that they've played But there's some insanely prolific tree that they were harvesting and planting in these areas, and it took over.

[861] Like, you heard of the Lost City of Z?

[862] You remember about that?

[863] The movie, yeah.

[864] That movie apparently was based on what would happen when these explorers had originally come there.

[865] Supposedly pristine, untouched Amazon rainforest was actually shaped by humans.

[866] Over thousands of years, native people played a strong role.

[867] and molding the ecology of this vast wilderness.

[868] So we assume that you see this dense jungle.

[869] Oh, it's untouched, but it actually, they don't think it was.

[870] So here it goes.

[871] Described the region of the world in 1991 book, marking the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' voyage to the new world.

[872] The native people were transparent in a landscape, living as natural elements in the ecosphere.

[873] Their world was a world of barely perceptible human disturbance.

[874] But was it really?

[875] and a less, how do you say that word, rhapsodical, rhapsodical verse, scholars in the past quarter century have shown that this mythical image of untouched nature is just that, a myth.

[876] Like humans everywhere, Native Americans shape their environments to suit them through burning, pruning, tilling, and other practices, and the Amazon is no different.

[877] If you look closer, you see the deep impressions that humans have made on the world's largest tropical rainforest.

[878] Scientists reported yesterday in the journal Science, Despite its vastness, the Amazon stretches more than 2 million square miles, an estimated 390 billion trees.

[879] This rainforest is hardly the untamable, unstoppable, unstoppable force of nature that the Romantics opined says Jose Iriarte, an archaeologist at the University of Exeter.

[880] In fact, humans have inhabited the Amazon for roughly 13 ,000 years and have been domesticating plants for at least 8 ,000.

[881] And recent archeological studies, especially in the last two decades, showed that indigenous populations in the past were more numerous, more complex, and had a greater impact on the largest and most biodiverse tropical rainforest in the world than had previously thought.

[882] What's the lifespan of those untouched humans?

[883] I don't know, man. Not so good.

[884] But hold on a second.

[885] Stop right there.

[886] colleagues were taking inventory of the vast diversity of the Amazon trees.

[887] They sampled 1 ,100 scattered plots far from modern human inhabitants to identify more than 16 ,000 different species among those 390 billion individual plants.

[888] Then they noticed something odd.

[889] Despite the broad diversity, over half of the total trees were made up of just over 1 % of the species.

[890] About 20 of these hyperdominant plants were domesticated species such as the Brazil nut, the Amazon tree grape, and the ice cream bean tree.

[891] That was five times the amount of research was expected if the chances were the only fact, if chance was the only factor.

[892] The hypothesis came up that perhaps people might have domesticated these species, which would have helped their abundance in the Amazon.

[893] So they think they had domesticated these species that they use for food, and then these species took over and just dominated the ecosphere.

[894] Like a wild weed?

[895] Yeah, they've also started using something called LIDAR, and LIDAR is something they use from planes, and they scan the rainforest and underneath this insane, dense, vast jungle.

[896] The LIDAR can see through?

[897] Yeah.

[898] The bush?

[899] It can see through everything into the ground, and they've found these grids.

[900] that indicate that there were cities there.

[901] So all this shit that's incredibly dense and filled with trees now at one point in time had complex roadways and irrigation systems and they think that the latest theory as it explores when they came there like this Cabesa de Vaca dude and these others that came from Europe probably gave these people the plague.

[902] They probably gave these people diseases just like they did to 90 % of all Native Americans were wiped out by disease brought by European explorers.

[903] By the blankets.

[904] They think that's, I don't think that's true.

[905] I think the blanket part is fake.

[906] It's just being around them that kill the smallpox.

[907] I think maybe there probably was some people that gave people dirty blankets, but that's not what spread.

[908] It was just disease, just the fact that Europeans were dirty.

[909] They came over on boats filled with rats and shit and fucking brought horrible diseases that these Native Americans didn't have any immune system for.

[910] Well, they think the same thing probably happened to the Amazon.

[911] And so these like city of the lost city of Z they think that these cities really did exist that they did have these incredible cities and then when they came back just 20 30 years later looking for these places all they found was jungle It was overgrown because the people were dead because the people died from the plague and then everything got overgrown like quickly by the jungle And then the dead bodies probably fertilized the soil which bro.

[912] Yeah Bro.

[913] So these are human this is this trees are human trees history history from morons for your pleasure You're welcome, kids.

[914] Google all this, though.

[915] Read from real sources.

[916] But it is interesting because you could see how this could happen.

[917] You know, and it really is a, the world is a wild place, man. And when human beings start doing what Cabesa de Vaca and Cortez did and all these other folks did back in the day where they would travel to these new places, they would bring disease.

[918] And they would kill off a lot of the people that were there.

[919] They think that's what happened to Mayans, too, you know?

[920] Incredible civilization.

[921] Yeah, they had a huge, huge cities, the Mayans.

[922] Yeah, yeah.

[923] And some of it's still standing, you know.

[924] Oh, yeah, man. And still to this day, fucking incredibly gorgeous, beautiful structures that were, that they mapped out the cosmos.

[925] They, like, mirrored the cosmos.

[926] They mirrored a lot of the constellations, you know.

[927] I'm excited.

[928] About what?

[929] About just learning about all this stuff.

[930] You know, I like, I'm all about, you know, I'm not so impressed by the tree, but I'm more, I want to know who plays.

[931] planted that tree, you know, that's a very similar.

[932] People trying to live, man. That's the thing, right?

[933] They were just trying to get by.

[934] Just trying to stay alive.

[935] Then we've got to find their writings.

[936] That's...

[937] Yeah.

[938] We find the writings and we need to find somebody who can translate these writings.

[939] Well, the Mayan writings are weird.

[940] They're kind of like a hieroglyph type deal, but I think the way the Mayans writing would work, they would have images that represented sounds like you would have an someone explained this they might have been McKenna like the way it would be written so like you'd have an eye and then you would have the sea and then you would have an ant like the bug and then you would have a rose like a flower and that would be how you say I see Aunt Rose.

[941] Yeah that's exactly how I read that when you said it in my head and I thought I was being funny in my head was like No you mean right yeah I forget what that kind of language is called there's a very specific it's a specific kind of language It's almost like they were talking emojis Right Yeah fucking Jamie had this idea A while ago I don't get you Jamie was saying Like we were talking about like sending emojis to go He goes do you think that like maybe eventually that will be our language The like emojis would be like And we were both I think we're pretty high at the time It's easily easily easy could happen possibly I can't see you being high Joe it's weird and we were saying that could eventually evolve to be the next language because how many times do you is it an evolution or is it a devolution are we going back to that what depends on how well it communicates right if it communicates really well like right now like if someone sends you like egg plant and then water and then the crying to your face like that's probably like it's just funny yeah I love doing that to people yeah it's fun it's my favorite one you know it's fun I try You try to have whole emoji conversations with people sometimes, just to fuck with them, you know?

[942] You're kind of getting something across, but what if eventually emojis became like a universal language, right?

[943] It kind of has been because you can communicate with people through emoji.

[944] Sure, and people that don't even speak English.

[945] You communicate with them with a lot of emojis.

[946] These are all common denominators for everybody.

[947] Yeah, not the best way of communicating.

[948] They're not the best, but, you know, it's helpful.

[949] Yeah.

[950] But one day, maybe they'll have better emojis or another kind, like maybe some sort of three -dimensional emoji that like, you know, works with AR, you know, augmented reality.

[951] So it gives you like a real inclination of what the person is trying to say without knowing their language.

[952] Yeah, like when I was about to, when my friend texts me before I came, he was like, hey, good luck on, and he didn't say Rogan, he sent me a gorilla.

[953] Good luck on, and I was like, what?

[954] What is that?

[955] He goes, Rogan, he's a fucking gorilla.

[956] I go, yeah, he is a gorilla, yeah.

[957] I'm more of a chimp.

[958] I don't know.

[959] I think you're very silverbackish.

[960] No, you ever seen a full -grown chimp?

[961] They've ever resembled me a lot.

[962] Especially if I lift a lot, if I'm lifting.

[963] No, you do have those apishly long arms, you know.

[964] Yeah, primitive, sad.

[965] That's why I'm so stupid, too.

[966] Yeah, yeah, you're clearly not the stupid one in this room.

[967] It's dumb jeans.

[968] Me and your security guys were talking and we're like, you know, we all said, we were talking about before you got you were like you know we all think we know something then we talk to joan we go i don't know shit well it's just me talking to so many people that know a lot and remembering remembering some of it that's what it is i mean you got to think i'm like 1700 deep into these fucking conversations with professors and scientists and i like when you have neal on oh he's coming on soon does he yeah i'm excited to talk to him yeah he's a great guy you know i uh had a photographer in my house and he was a young black kid and he was taking his pictures of me and he goes uh he He showed me, he was wearing shorts.

[969] And I go, who was that on the back of your calf?

[970] And he goes, oh, that's Neil degrass Tyson.

[971] He's my idol.

[972] Wow.

[973] So I took a picture of his calf, and I sent it to Neil.

[974] And he goes, you need new friends.

[975] That sounds like something he would say.

[976] Yeah, he's a, he's a trip.

[977] I said, a buddy of mine has you tattooed on his leg.

[978] And he goes, you need new friends.

[979] I'm worried about your choice and friends.

[980] Guys like him are super important.

[981] Science communicators that are also, like, fun.

[982] Like, he's a fun guy.

[983] Yeah, he gets the mess.

[984] message out.

[985] Yeah.

[986] In a way that dumb people like myself can understand.

[987] Exactly.

[988] Exactly.

[989] And that's what's important.

[990] So just to be aware of the beauty of this mystery of this fucking universe that we're floating around in.

[991] And now they said, you see that they, I don't know if it's real, because you never know what the fuck is real on the internet anymore, but they say they found some sort of fungus life on Mars.

[992] Yes, they think.

[993] They don't know what it is.

[994] They have an image.

[995] blows away overnight or some shit.

[996] Hmm.

[997] They were like, it was here yesterday, it's blown away now.

[998] It's some sort of fungus that can grow very quickly, and then with a strong wing can go away.

[999] Well, that makes sense.

[1000] But then you would imagine Mars would be covered in fungus, if it's blown around like that.

[1001] Not necessarily, because fungus exists here, but we're not covered in it, and it doesn't even blow away, right?

[1002] Like, if you go out into a yard after rain, you'll find mushrooms that weren't there the day before.

[1003] They grow really quickly.

[1004] You ever tried those?

[1005] No, I don't know.

[1006] enough and they'll kill you you know if you eat the wrong ones right like that mushroom picking business is tricky because you really have to know your stuff there's there's mushrooms that have extreme liver toxicity and they look just like edible mushrooms they're like real close like you got a note like i've had paul stamets on and he's is he's explained to me the complex nature of understanding like there's some mushrooms like if you see a morale morale's on the ground like you've ever eaten morel mushrooms i have not they're really delicious and they're very rare what do they look like they look like uh almost like like like like a hollow pine cone they're weird looking but they're a fungus they're a fungus and they grow quickly and they grow uh specifically around areas that have burned oh yes i've seen a lot of fungus around burn burn zones yeah for some reason morels are they're associated with burn areas not all the time but people go and pick them and they go morel hunting and then you know you eat them and they're really delicious you like saute them with butter and garlic salt oh rosa what are you tasting though you're tasting butter and garlic salt no you're tasting they're a meaty chewy delicious mushroom they're really nice and where do you get them well you got to get them online or hunt them you got to go go you know gather dried yeah they sell them dried yeah you can buy them on amazon and then they just rehydrate once you soak them what i do is i i take a uh like a large pot fill with water and i'll add salt to the water and i'll soak them and you know a lot of dirt gets off too so you strain it and rinse them off and i'll soak them for a few hours and then uh saute them up they're nice i'm telling you that's what they look like when they're cooked oh i think i've had those they are quite tasty bro they're so delicious especially they're a little charred like that.

[1007] Yes.

[1008] Nice.

[1009] I'm a texture guy, so I like the crunch.

[1010] Me too.

[1011] Do you enjoy Indian food?

[1012] Are you an Indian food?

[1013] I do.

[1014] I love Indian food.

[1015] I fucking love Indian food.

[1016] But I have acid reflux.

[1017] I got to be careful.

[1018] I got to plan it when I'm going to eat Indian food.

[1019] What causes that?

[1020] I don't know.

[1021] I've had it my whole life.

[1022] I've literally had it my whole life.

[1023] And then I went five, a couple weeks ago, I went and got, I had the old spit roast under me, you know, the, uh, oh, did the colon endo job?

[1024] And right before I went under, I told the doctor, I said, put an apple in my mouth and then I passed out and then I woke up and he goes how was it I go it was fine except for both your hands are on my shoulders now what do they do for you when you got the acid reflux they prescribe a medication yeah you're on I'm on a medication you can also I mean it's also very it's not fixable but it's it's manageable by what you eat as well you know for me it's mostly about for sleep if I don't have enough sleep and I decide I want to eat something that I know could trigger me it'll really trigger me if I haven't slept enough oh so like you're tired if you're worn out yeah yeah but if I've slept enough I could eat whatever fuck I want do whatever I want that's the same thing with getting sick you know it's amazing how much your immune system sort of regulates everything and when you're tired your immune system is weakened and I know a lot of people that have gotten like really sick where they probably wouldn't have gotten sick because they're one they're run down like fighters they're training for big fights like a lot of people think, oh, fighters are in great shape, they must be really healthy.

[1025] No, except when they're trying to make weight.

[1026] When they dehydrate their entire body, that's insane.

[1027] So bad.

[1028] But even just the training itself, when they're breaking themselves down, a lot of times fighters get sick.

[1029] A lot of fighters have gotten COVID pretty bad because they were in the middle of fight camp and they didn't stop training.

[1030] Like Cody Garbrandt, he had COVID.

[1031] He got sick and he kept training, through it.

[1032] So he just kept beating his body up.

[1033] They're too tough for their own good.

[1034] Yeah, it's, it's your body, you got to listen to your body.

[1035] Especially the older you get, just you can't ignore the signs, you know.

[1036] Yeah.

[1037] So do they tell you what you should and shouldn't eat?

[1038] No, that's what I was hoping for.

[1039] And he was like, no, you seem fine.

[1040] I'm like, what the fuck?

[1041] And what does acid reflex do?

[1042] Like, you have like a burp almost?

[1043] It's a bad burp, but you know your eyes are going to water because it burns when it gets up here.

[1044] Oh, so like that's the acid.

[1045] Yeah, the stomach juices.

[1046] Like burns, burns.

[1047] Like my nose will run my eyes of water.

[1048] on a bad one.

[1049] I've had some bad episodes.

[1050] Stress will bring it out, too.

[1051] And how long does it last?

[1052] I mean, it's depending on how bad of an episode I have.

[1053] I try to control it as best I can.

[1054] I'm aware of how it's going to affect me, when it's going to affect me, if I eat too much, if I eat too late, if I try to go to bed too soon after eating.

[1055] Have you ever tried fasting?

[1056] Yeah, fasting's great for me. Does that work?

[1057] Yeah, it works well for me. How many days have you done?

[1058] I don't do days.

[1059] I do like 16 hours.

[1060] Oh, that's good.

[1061] Then I'll eat something.

[1062] I haven't done days either.

[1063] I've done 24 hours.

[1064] That's the most I've ever done.

[1065] Yeah, I, well, recently, I just, I went like 22 hours.

[1066] It wasn't, I wasn't trying to.

[1067] I just had gone 22 hours without eating, and I was like, I feel fine.

[1068] George St. Pierre just did a three -day one.

[1069] He said he felt fucking amazing.

[1070] I'm thinking about trying it.

[1071] I just have to time it right.

[1072] Isn't there talks of him fighting somebody again?

[1073] There's talks.

[1074] There's talks of him fighting Khabib or something.

[1075] Yeah, but I don't think Khab is going to fight again, and I don't think George is going to either.

[1076] I think George is done.

[1077] You know, George is very happy and comfortable with his life now, and he's got his health.

[1078] How old is George now, with 38?

[1079] 38.

[1080] He's still got a lot of time left.

[1081] Not really.

[1082] You don't think so?

[1083] No. I mean, when you're a that elite and you don't let yourself go ever.

[1084] Right, but there's a difference between, it's a big difference between like a 33 -year -old Camaro Usman and a 38 -year -old George St. Pierre.

[1085] There's a difference.

[1086] Is George is the top of the food chain at 38, right?

[1087] Yeah.

[1088] in terms of like how fit he is, how well he takes care of his body, doesn't abuse himself, he's always in shape and he's always working out.

[1089] He's always doing something.

[1090] He's always doing gymnastics.

[1091] He does his pool workouts.

[1092] He's always doing jujitsu and kickboxing.

[1093] He has not stopped.

[1094] But he's still 38.

[1095] True.

[1096] Camaro showed a lot of improvement over the years too, like every fucking time.

[1097] Dude.

[1098] Every time I see him.

[1099] He's like the Canello of the UFC almost to me. He's a real champion is what he is.

[1100] You know what I mean?

[1101] I'm curious to see how Israel is.

[1102] going to bounce back now.

[1103] Oh, he'll be fine.

[1104] Oh, he'll be fine.

[1105] I agree.

[1106] It's just, I just think when you're going up to 205, you got to go up to 205.

[1107] You know, the, especially when it comes to the wrestling, weight's real.

[1108] And that guy, Jan Bojovich, that's a scary motherfucker that dude.

[1109] That guy, you talk about power, like how people just have power.

[1110] He's just got power.

[1111] Like, he's got crazy, preposterous one -punch power.

[1112] And you always have to worry about that.

[1113] And then when And he got Izzy down and he controlled him on the ground.

[1114] He's just size and strength.

[1115] It's real, man. Izzy never gained any weight.

[1116] So he went in and weighed in, I think, like, 190 -something.

[1117] Well, Hovich weighed 205 and probably went up to 220 -ish, you know, during the actual fight itself.

[1118] So, you know, you're talking about -Israel's a thin guy to begin with.

[1119] I mean, he's got to grow into that size as opposed to try and put it on.

[1120] But he'll fight anybody, man. He doesn't give a fuck.

[1121] He'll go up to heavy weight.

[1122] And he's a really nice kid.

[1123] He's the nicest.

[1124] Oh, my guy.

[1125] I've talked with him on Instagram.

[1126] We'd dig in each other and just put a sweet guy.

[1127] I started contacting him long before he ever fought in the UFC.

[1128] Really?

[1129] Yeah, I was asking him when he's going to do it.

[1130] Because I had heard rumbling, so he was thinking about making a leap into fighting MMA.

[1131] And back then he was just kickboxing, and I was just a big fan of his style.

[1132] Like, I mean, how could you not be?

[1133] You watch his kickboxing highlight reel?

[1134] Like, if you think Izzy is great in MMA and he is, most certainly.

[1135] I've seen some old clips of him.

[1136] He's fantastic.

[1137] fucking kickboxing he's a genius man and he's so thin but he's got a lot of power oh well he's so accurate he's just so he's very andersonish he's creative and intelligent and sharp and everything he does when he's not ring worn right yeah yeah he's only been caoed once and that was a brutal one against uh alix perrero who's this ruthless knockout strike and that was in uh that was in glory i think it was in glory might not have been glory might have been in another kickboxing league i'm not sure.

[1138] I think it was glory.

[1139] But either way, Alex is a two -division glory kickboxing champion.

[1140] Did he have a rematch?

[1141] They fought twice.

[1142] Alex won a decision the first time, and he caoed him the second time.

[1143] Really?

[1144] Yeah.

[1145] I think the first fight was close.

[1146] The second fight, Izzy had him in real trouble, too.

[1147] He had him really in trouble.

[1148] And a lot of people thought that the fight should have been stopped, but that's probably Izzy fans.

[1149] You know what I mean?

[1150] Yeah, there's a lot of that when that happens.

[1151] When a guy should and shouldn't be stopped is so controversial.

[1152] You know, it's like Cowboy Soroni this weekend, right?

[1153] Alex Marino fight.

[1154] I didn't get to see it.

[1155] It was rough to watch.

[1156] I'm assuming Alex won.

[1157] Yeah, he stopped him in the first round.

[1158] Alex is a bad motherfucker, though.

[1159] He's tough shit.

[1160] Seroni's a tough guy, but I think he's had a lot of bad knockouts lately.

[1161] And, you know, I'm not going to be the one to tell Donald Soroni to not fucking fight anymore.

[1162] but you know as a fan um i wish fighting didn't hurt well i mean i think that's probably you know you know i mean i wish it didn't hurt you kind of the essence of it i know i wish it didn't hurt people i wish uh you got out of your career and you didn't have to deal with um brain damage and body damage but that's also one of the reasons why it's so wild and exciting to watch as you know there's severe consequences to their actions you know what about that fight that was supposed to happen with Anderson Silva and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. That's still happening.

[1163] Is that happening?

[1164] I think it's happening in June.

[1165] See if you can find out when that's happening.

[1166] Yeah, he's taking a boxing match.

[1167] I mean, at least he's taking it against the guy in the boxing role who's not very well respected.

[1168] He might not be as respected as some, but Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is still a fucking beast.

[1169] You cannot sleep on that guy.

[1170] He is a dangerous man. He is very hard.

[1171] But he doesn't have the work ethic that he needs.

[1172] I think that's what his problem is.

[1173] And then when he fought Canello, and he basically just went into a defensive shell and just survived, but he did survive.

[1174] Billy Joe Saunders didn't survive.

[1175] But you have to say, Canello today is better than the Canello of then.

[1176] See, what we're talking about...

[1177] Last weekend was, is better than the Connello of the fight before.

[1178] I mean, he's a continuously improving fighter.

[1179] He talks about that, too.

[1180] He talked about that in one of the interviews that were talking to him about pre -fight about maintaining his energy.

[1181] And he's like, just because I'm at the top, doesn't mean I'm going to slow down.

[1182] He goes, no, no, no, I'm going to keep going, keep that same energy.

[1183] He understands it.

[1184] Well, he understands he's hit this rare air where he's the number one pound -for -pound fighter on earth.

[1185] And he's just so dominant.

[1186] You know, he's so dominant.

[1187] That fight with Billy Joe was so interesting.

[1188] I was getting mad at people who were talking shit after this.

[1189] June 19th.

[1190] Who Chavez senior fighting then?

[1191] Oh, boy.

[1192] Hector Camacho Jr. Wow.

[1193] Wow.

[1194] Wow.

[1195] Julio Cesar Chavez, Chavez, Seniors, but that's kind of crazy.

[1196] His senior beat up Camacho, that's why, didn't he?

[1197] Wow, that's crazy.

[1198] He beat up Junior's dad.

[1199] Did he?

[1200] I think he did, like, in the 90s.

[1201] What?

[1202] Did that not, did he fight him?

[1203] I think he may, check box wreck.

[1204] He may have.

[1205] I do not think that.

[1206] I remember when Ed, Camacho beat Julio Cesar Chavez.

[1207] Edwin Rosario was the one that gave Camacho a rough fight, and that's what made Camacho change his style.

[1208] Really?

[1209] Yeah.

[1210] Edwin El Chapo Rosario, he closed Hector's eyes in that fight.

[1211] Hector Camacho.

[1212] Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.

[1213] Yeah, he's the one that made Camacho the more defensive fighter after that.

[1214] I'm conflating.

[1215] I thought you were talking about Julius Caesar Chavez.

[1216] No, no, no, but I'm not saying I think Chavez himself, yeah, he did.

[1217] He fought Hector Camacho, the unanimous decision.

[1218] He won.

[1219] Yeah.

[1220] Yeah.

[1221] That's when he was, he was undefeited.

[1222] I thought you were saying, I'm sorry, I thought you were saying that Hector Camacho would be Hulio Cesar Chavez.

[1223] No, no, no, no, no. No, Chavez beat his ass.

[1224] That was when Chavez was the king.

[1225] There's only one fight there, that Pernell Whitaker fight.

[1226] That's a questionable one.

[1227] They ripped off Pernell.

[1228] I believe that.

[1229] Every time Pernell fought a guy from Culey a gun, he lost to Jose Luis Ramirez, a shady decision.

[1230] And then he lost to Chavez, bad decision.

[1231] He lost to Delahua, bad decision.

[1232] I don't remember the Delahua fight, honestly.

[1233] Oh, yeah.

[1234] Listen, Pernell, Pernell got so fucked so bad in boxing by what decisions.

[1235] Yeah, well, for sure he did in the Chavez one.

[1236] That was a bad one where a lot of people...

[1237] Even the De La Jolla fight he got fucked on that deal.

[1238] Yeah, I believe you.

[1239] I don't remember that fight, though.

[1240] That's one of those ones where I'd have to go back.

[1241] There's so many fights.

[1242] You can only store so many of them in your head.

[1243] I know every time I meet a fighter, I'm like, hey, I remember you?

[1244] And it'd be like some bum, like not a bum, but like a journeyman, you know?

[1245] And I'm like, and I think you don't know.

[1246] And I'm like, I remember you?

[1247] I remember you.

[1248] Like, yeah, you were a good fighter, you know?

[1249] Remember that guy?

[1250] Greg Hogan.

[1251] Greg Hogan.

[1252] I don't remember Greg Hogan.

[1253] Remember when Greg Hogan fought Chavez?

[1254] Wasn't he from Boston, Greg Hogan?

[1255] Oh, maybe.

[1256] No, I was thinking Bobby Chis, I'm thinking.

[1257] Bobby Ches was from New Jersey, I believe.

[1258] I think Greg Hogan was from just outside the Bronx.

[1259] What's that area there?

[1260] Greg Hogan?

[1261] Yeah.

[1262] Oh.

[1263] He was...

[1264] I want to say he was from Massachusetts or New Hampshire or some shit.

[1265] But I might be thinking of Joey Gamach, who was from Maine.

[1266] Yeah, he was from Maine.

[1267] was trying to come up on the uh Greg howgan Auburn Washington so he's from Washington state you know who used to train with uh Greg Hogan was uh Joey Medina really yeah they were stablemates at some point no shit yeah well when he fought Julio Cesar Chavez well how old is Chavez then if Chavez is fighting again if Hogan is 60 I think Chavez is like in his late 50s if I'm not mistaken fucking animal animal 58 fighting again I mean that's a guy who's you know in his prime dude the Greg Hogan fight was him in his see find uh Julio Sousa Chavez versus Greg Hogan I was watching a like a video that was breaking down what happened with that fight because Hogan had decided he had he'd he played the bad guy right and he had taunted him and saying that he fought a bunch of Tijuana cab drivers oh yeah he was great at talking shit but my God he was a monster Look at that liver shot.

[1268] Bro, he was so accurate.

[1269] He knew exactly where you were going to be.

[1270] Leo Cesar Chavez in the day was so slick.

[1271] I mean, everything about him was so good.

[1272] And he would walk through you.

[1273] Oh, my God.

[1274] And just his ripping shots, the body, his endurance.

[1275] Always looking for the liver shot.

[1276] And his endurance was off the charts.

[1277] Like the volume of strikes that he would put on you.

[1278] He beat the fuck out of Greg Hagen in this fight.

[1279] And then after the fight, Greg Hagen was like, well, they must have been some pretty fucking tough cab drivers.

[1280] And then they hugged.

[1281] It was kind of cool because he really...

[1282] Yonkers.

[1283] I think he fought out of Yonkers at some point.

[1284] Hogan did?

[1285] Yeah, it was another fight out of Yonkers, too, back then.

[1286] Chavez was absolutely one of my all -time favorites.

[1287] When he was in his prime, he was just...

[1288] He was just perpetual motion, man. Frankie Randall died last year.

[1289] Well, Frankie Randall was the guy that really ended Chavez's reign, right?

[1290] Dropped him with the right hand.

[1291] He was the first guy to drop him.

[1292] Yeah.

[1293] What did Frankie Randall die from?

[1294] I don't know, to be honest with you.

[1295] I, uh, Frankie the, Frankie the surgeon Randall, I remember clearly, though.

[1296] He, he had a piston of a right hand.

[1297] And he had that night.

[1298] I remember when he fought Chavez had those, those green gloves.

[1299] It was like this, or this lime green.

[1300] It was really, I remember that it was like a, or a baby blue.

[1301] It was some sort of, it was on those pleasing colors to me. I remember as a kid.

[1302] He beat him twice.

[1303] Yeah, he beat him in the rematch too.

[1304] Yeah, he had a rematch, well, Frankie just had that style.

[1305] He had a perfect style for Julio.

[1306] But also, Julio was, you know, who knows how many fights in his career.

[1307] he was on his way to a hundred and oh god frankie had stopped it was like in shavas was like in his 90 something fight that's crazy a hundred and no is crazy yeah when it comes to all -time grades randa who died 59 oh result of dementia wow that early too that's crazy well that's what about those people that saunders quit him like his fucking face was cave did go back to that Jamie, look at that.

[1308] Chavez was 89 .0 and 1.

[1309] That's what it was, yeah.

[1310] Fuck, 89 and 0.

[1311] Yeah, the draw was with who?

[1312] With Pernell.

[1313] I don't know.

[1314] Was it?

[1315] I think it was.

[1316] Was that a draw?

[1317] I think it was, yeah, the draw was with Pernell.

[1318] Oh, I thought he lost a decision.

[1319] I thought Pernell lost a decision.

[1320] Was it a draw?

[1321] It might have been a draw.

[1322] If it was a draw, how the fuck did they not fight again?

[1323] Yeah, it was a draw.

[1324] A majority decision draw at the top there.

[1325] Oh.

[1326] There it is right there.

[1327] Wow.

[1328] Majority decision.

[1329] But that's a majority decision.

[1330] That's not a draw.

[1331] Well, it's still a draw.

[1332] No. No, majority decision means one fighter.

[1333] It's a split decision.

[1334] No, you can still get a...

[1335] How does that work?

[1336] But a majority decision is not a draw, is it?

[1337] I think one...

[1338] Split decision.

[1339] No, what it is is that...

[1340] Frankie Randall.

[1341] One judge had it for Pernel, one judge had it for Chavez, and then one judge had a draw.

[1342] Really?

[1343] Yeah, and I think if you're the champ, you get the, oh, I see.

[1344] You get the, you get to keep your team.

[1345] Oh, well, majority draw.

[1346] That's what it is.

[1347] It's not a majority decision.

[1348] We're thinking of it was the wrong one.

[1349] Right.

[1350] Yeah, okay.

[1351] That makes sense.

[1352] And most people thought that Pernell won.

[1353] Yeah, I thought so too.

[1354] But there's always been, when a guy is loved as Julio Cesar Chavez and then the odds on him are so high, right, of him winning.

[1355] Yeah.

[1356] Then everybody gets weird, right?

[1357] Because, like, the judges.

[1358] They want to protect the records.

[1359] Well, there's been some judges, too, especially in Vegas that will never work again.

[1360] because they put in, like, remember when when Mani Pachial lost to Desert Storm?

[1361] Yeah, yeah, Tim Bradley.

[1362] Tim Bradley, that's right.

[1363] Yeah, sorry, Tim.

[1364] This is brain fart.

[1365] He's a great commentator, too, by the way.

[1366] He's a good commentator.

[1367] He's very good.

[1368] The problem is he always looks like he wants to, he's always talking about it.

[1369] Well, what I, if I, you know, he seems like he wants to come back, but he's not going to come back.

[1370] Well, you know, he's a great fighter.

[1371] When you're a great fighter, you look at things through the eyes of what you did or what you could do.

[1372] That's the only way to do it.

[1373] Yeah.

[1374] Well, Lennox is a fucking great commentator.

[1375] Lennox is a great commentator.

[1376] I've been hanging out with them a lot lately, actually.

[1377] Yeah.

[1378] You know who doesn't do that?

[1379] Who was a great fighter?

[1380] Who doesn't talk?

[1381] Roy Jones Jr. Roy Jones Jr. is a fantastic commentator.

[1382] Yeah, I like Roy when he commentates as well.

[1383] I was asking, who was asking?

[1384] I was asking Mike Sugar Ray Leonard Leonard why he doesn't train anybody.

[1385] And he said he can't train somebody who doesn't.

[1386] He's never.

[1387] met somebody who has the same desire he had.

[1388] And I can't train.

[1389] He said, I can't train somebody who's not going to dig as deep as I digged.

[1390] Doug, rather.

[1391] That makes sense, I guess.

[1392] I was like, I just can't.

[1393] I can't.

[1394] I can't.

[1395] I'm sure you could find someone.

[1396] But, you know, a lot of great fighters are not great trainers, you know?

[1397] Yeah.

[1398] Well, those who can't do, right?

[1399] Well, it's not just that.

[1400] Some who Buddy McGirt's a great trainer.

[1401] He's a great fighter and a great trainer.

[1402] Some do become great.

[1403] I mean, it's really just a matter of your personality.

[1404] John David Jackson.

[1405] Another guy.

[1406] Great fighter, great trainer.

[1407] Yep.

[1408] It doesn't always work that way, though.

[1409] Like Marvin Haggner never trained anybody that I know of, did he?

[1410] No, I don't think so.

[1411] I think when he was done, he was done.

[1412] He walked right away from the sport.

[1413] Yeah, man. Disheartened and angry.

[1414] Because he got fucked over really in his career, too.

[1415] Oh, yeah.

[1416] Yeah.

[1417] Yeah, he did.

[1418] But he also is one of the all -time grades.

[1419] Yeah.

[1420] I mean, the legacy that guy left.

[1421] He's from your state.

[1422] Fuck, yeah.

[1423] Brockton, Massachusetts.

[1424] Marvelous Marvin.

[1425] It was a beast.

[1426] I remember the first time I went to a strip joint when I was 16.

[1427] You went to a strip joint when you were 16?

[1428] So my boxing coach took me to go see the Leonard Hagler fight.

[1429] Oh, they had it at a strip joint?

[1430] Yeah, because it was...

[1431] How distracting.

[1432] Well, no, here's the thing.

[1433] Well, for me, it was horribly distracting.

[1434] It was closed circuit back then.

[1435] So he took me to this strip joint I had about three or four miles from my house and he was like come on we're gonna go watch the Hagler or Leonard fight and he took me, walked me right into the strip joint and he paid whatever the cover charge I think it was 10 bucks and I had never seen naked women in my like in real life and I just remember sitting in Perverts Row and I didn't care about the fight at that point I was just like oh my God there's a vagina in front of me and I was I can only imagine the look on my face.

[1436] I was just like, ah.

[1437] And then the club never got the fight.

[1438] So they started throwing bottles in the club and I'm not even paying.

[1439] The bottles are whizzing past my head and I'm just staring at vaginas.

[1440] So like there was a problem with the paper view or something?

[1441] Yeah, something happened with the with their feed.

[1442] And everybody hit, they were kicking everybody.

[1443] They made an announcement.

[1444] Everybody please exit the building.

[1445] We're giving refunds on the way out.

[1446] And I was just like, all right.

[1447] I got up and I walked out.

[1448] I got my, I got 10 bucks.

[1449] And I was like, where the fuck's my coach?

[1450] He left because they didn't have the fight so he went to another place and he wasn't about to find me. He was just like...

[1451] He was 16.

[1452] He just left you there.

[1453] He just left me there and I walked out and I walked back in to try and find him again and then when I walked I got another 10 bucks and I was like I'm up 20 bucks right now.

[1454] I'm 16 with 20 bucks 97 with 20 bucks.

[1455] You kidding me?

[1456] Did you take cab home?

[1457] No I jogged home because it was like...

[1458] Oh with the 20 in your pocket.

[1459] Yeah it was late and I was a young kid I was boxing so I was use as an excuse for do some road work.

[1460] I jogged home.

[1461] I was happy.

[1462] I didn't even notice the jog.

[1463] I was just like, I got home, and I remember painting the ceiling when I got back that night.

[1464] It was just like, wow.

[1465] These kids today, they don't know.

[1466] They don't know.

[1467] They can watch fights on their phones.

[1468] Like, you could watch the Canella fight.

[1469] You could have been anywhere.

[1470] If you have 5G, you just pull up your phone.

[1471] Get on the zone app, and you can watch the fight anywhere you are.

[1472] Back in our day, we had a go places.

[1473] Yeah.

[1474] Remember those days?

[1475] The closed circuit days?

[1476] I was in Omaha when the fight happened, so I don't know where I was going to watch this.

[1477] I was in my green room, and my assistant, Eddie, text me. He goes, hey, fool, the fight's starting.

[1478] And I was about to go on stage.

[1479] I go, all right.

[1480] I thought he meant like the card was starting.

[1481] Oh, the actual fight.

[1482] Yeah, so when I got off, I go, as the main event started, he goes, yeah, I text you already, fool.

[1483] I'm like, all right.

[1484] I know what happened?

[1485] He goes, go look at the highlights.

[1486] And I opened on my Instagram, and there was.

[1487] That fucking uppercut he hit him with.

[1488] My God.

[1489] Nasty.

[1490] Canello is in this weird place where he's kind of cleaned out the division, right?

[1491] He's got Caleb Plant.

[1492] Right.

[1493] And not just that division.

[1494] He's kind of cleaned out a lot of divisions.

[1495] Triple G is still in the fucking running, which is interesting.

[1496] He hasn't fought in two years.

[1497] No, he fought recently.

[1498] He fought last year.

[1499] Yeah.

[1500] It's been a year, though, definitely since he fought last.

[1501] I don't think it's quite a year because I was in Texas.

[1502] I watched it in Texas.

[1503] Live or?

[1504] Yeah, yeah.

[1505] Find out when he, when he's...

[1506] fought but he looked fucking good dude he not only looked good he looked ripped so i was like hmm piss test please because he's like 38 and he's got he's like he's bordering 40 real quick looked looked as good as he's ever looked he looked phenomenal december oh december there you go oh okay so it's not been that long then yeah so uh yeah so uh so is he fighting when the fuck is he fighting again then well they're talking about him possibly fighting canello he's i don't think that's a good fight for him anymore for him maybe not but maybe the last chance at rome romance.

[1507] I mean, how much more of an option does he happen?

[1508] Where's he going to go?

[1509] What else does he have?

[1510] But the first fight, I thought he won.

[1511] Definitely.

[1512] I was at that one.

[1513] Yeah, I thought he won the first fight.

[1514] I was ringside there.

[1515] The second fight, very close.

[1516] Very close.

[1517] And Teddy Atlas was saying they should have given it to Triple G. A lot of other people favored Canello, but a much better performance for Canello.

[1518] But I think Canello, as, like we said, these guys like Camaro Usman, like Canelo Alvarez, like these guys who are just consummate champions.

[1519] You're just going to get a better version of them every single time they step into the ring.

[1520] Every single time they get in the cage.

[1521] Camaro shows improvement.

[1522] Every time.

[1523] Impressive improvement.

[1524] Like a young fighter.

[1525] He shows improvement like a 22 -year -old guy who was just learning the game.

[1526] Like I was nervous when he fought Covington.

[1527] I was at that fight.

[1528] And I remember sitting with Covington's family because Chuck Zito got me the tickets.

[1529] So I was sitting there.

[1530] And then when the main event started, I noticed all the MAGA hats.

[1531] And Candice Owens was sitting there.

[1532] I was like, fuck, I don't want to be on this side.

[1533] I don't want, I don't want my friends to see me sitting here.

[1534] So Clay, uh, Clay Guida was sitting across the aisle.

[1535] And I go, Clay, who's sitting there?

[1536] He said, nobody, some sit with me. So I moved across the onset with Clay that fight.

[1537] Dude, have you seen, did you see speaking of manga?

[1538] Did you see Shane Gillis's, uh, sketch that he did on Trump doing, uh, speed dating?

[1539] No. Holy shit is it funny.

[1540] Who Shane Gillis?

[1541] Shane Gillis is the guy that got, uh, kicked off a Saturday Night Live.

[1542] Oh, right.

[1543] Yeah, he got hired.

[1544] from Saturday Night Live and then they found him on a podcast talking shit just just random like this just words nothing fucking around like comics do we spitball and say the most obscene things and then we realize this works this doesn't work then the problem is people take things out of context absolutely 100 % I'm telling you man you got to watch this like you'd have to watch it like I don't want to play it I want people to watch it Trump speed dating Gilly and Keeves It's only got 29 ,000 views It should have 29 million It's fucking brilliant I'll put it up on Twitter or whatever later today It's so good It's so funny man It's brilliant Have you done Shit It's horrible I can't remember the guy's name And he's a friend of mine too And I just did his podcast He does it in character Jim Norton No no no no He does it Chipperson No he was an S &L member At one point too He does it in character He does it.

[1545] He'll do a different character every time he interviews you.

[1546] So when I did it, he did it as Jimmy Fallon.

[1547] Who are you talking about?

[1548] Fucking hell.

[1549] Do you know who he's talking about?

[1550] Jamie?

[1551] I feel bad and he's a, you know, the worst part, he's a friend.

[1552] And his name's not coming to me. Real good friend?

[1553] Yeah.

[1554] Real tight?

[1555] If somebody says, hey, that hilarious guy from Canada, you know who he is?

[1556] You're going to get a hurt real bad?

[1557] I'm like, oh, yeah, that guy.

[1558] Jeff Richards.

[1559] Oh, no, I haven't done it.

[1560] No. Yeah, he just, yeah.

[1561] When I did it.

[1562] But he did it as Fallon and then he just had on Sherry O 'Terry and he did it as a different character.

[1563] It was really funny.

[1564] You know what ad on recently from Saturday Night Live?

[1565] Jim Brewer.

[1566] He was fucking fantastic.

[1567] I watched it.

[1568] It was awesome.

[1569] He's so funny, man. Yeah.

[1570] That guy, you want to talk about a guy who never got his just due, never got his respect that he deserves as a comic.

[1571] He's one of the funniest guys ever.

[1572] He's so funny.

[1573] You know what it was?

[1574] They look at the end of the industry.

[1575] Here's your opportunity.

[1576] in the 90s the game is shot a little they gave it early and he excelled with it and then for some reason they just they move on he didn't want to do it anymore no with him it's not that it's not that they move on he didn't give a fuck like he even talked to his wife about it she was like why why do you keep doing the show it makes you miserable he had terrible things to say about doing the show he did not enjoy it he had terrible things to say about the way he was treated the way they would rip off material and steal sketches from each other and not good I mean him and Dave uh Dave really they were they worked together a lot.

[1577] Oh, yeah, well, half -baked.

[1578] Yeah, half -baked.

[1579] Then they had a sitcom together in the 90s, yeah.

[1580] They were like, it was like a buddy buddy show.

[1581] Really?

[1582] Yeah.

[1583] There's a lot of those sitcoms.

[1584] That's what happened.

[1585] That's how him and Dave forged the friendship for half -baked.

[1586] Oh, really?

[1587] It's called buddies.

[1588] It was called buddies.

[1589] Yeah, there you go.

[1590] Show me what that looked like.

[1591] I'm kind of, I'm vaguely remembering this.

[1592] Yeah, I remember.

[1593] Buddies.

[1594] Wow.

[1595] Okay.

[1596] Look at it.

[1597] They're on Well, yeah, they're on home improvement there, but...

[1598] Oh, was it an ABC sitcom?

[1599] Is that what it was?

[1600] Yeah, probably...

[1601] I think this was like...

[1602] This is what spawned the spin -off for them.

[1603] Wow.

[1604] Sit -coms, boy.

[1605] I was on set for Half -Baked a lot, hanging out in Dave's trailer back then in the night.

[1606] It was shot in Toronto.

[1607] And I would hang out in Dave's trailer.

[1608] He had a white Pomeranian named Philonius back then.

[1609] Dave's always been a fucking amazing guy.

[1610] He's on another level.

[1611] now oh it's incredible we've been doing a lot of shows together yeah it's uh he's he's beautiful i love i love what he stands for too he we put this clip up on the uh instagram i saw the kindness conspiracy yep that's really how he is man it's like he's always been like that too it's not like it's not a new thing for him he's always been that guy he's always been a sweetheart of a guy but now he's like he's really like trying to push that out there see as far as i'm concerned he's the real woke like that to me is what woke should be right right it's not this fake um angry Yeah, it's a real wokeness he has.

[1612] It's not, well, woke is tainted, the words tainted, but real compassionate.

[1613] Kind, compassionate person.

[1614] If you're actually woke, you'll be compassionate and understanding to other people's ways of thinking.

[1615] But I think what woke means to a lot of people that adopted is like activism, you know, like calling people out and yelling at people and a lot of this very angry shit that we see online today.

[1616] but it's you know a lot of it is also you're just dealing with a lot of people that are very unhappy and they're unhappy and they express that unhappiness there's too much voices for people that don't need a voice oh you said you know what i mean and i'm you know what i'm noticing too it's not so much that there's these people externally it's the industry itself that's doing this well it's the world that's doing this and it's accentuated through social media i mean if you ever see the documentary the social dilemma they talk about how this is happening and that the algorithms are actually enhancing and even reinforcing this kind of behavior.

[1617] People are necessarily, I mean, people aren't necessarily naturally inclined to like form these tribes and hate on people that disagree with them.

[1618] You know, people, I think generally speaking, would like to be reasonable.

[1619] People like to get along with people.

[1620] They have opinions, but they like to get along with people.

[1621] When you reinforce these thought bubbles and you reinforce these echo chambers, which is online, you know, algorithms do, whether it's Facebook or Twitter or whatever.

[1622] It's also about how you look to other people.

[1623] It's so much, it's so much about appearance as opposed to the substance behind it.

[1624] What do you mean?

[1625] Well, people, you know, you put this face out for the social media world and then you're this piece of shit behind it.

[1626] Right.

[1627] There's a lot of that.

[1628] Yeah.

[1629] And that's a whole generation of it now.

[1630] This whole chicken nugget generation that's coming up right now is.

[1631] Chicken nugget generation.

[1632] Yeah, because that's other fucking pallet is chicken nuggets, you know?

[1633] They grew up eating fucking chicken nuggets.

[1634] Our kids are the chicken nugget generation.

[1635] Well, these kids are definitely, they're weird in the way they think you should communicate.

[1636] Growing up communicating online, it's got to be fucking terrible for the way your brain functions, the way your brain forms.

[1637] It's the same thing with shopping and music and everything.

[1638] There's a reason that things are very thin and shallow.

[1639] Yeah.

[1640] But it's also, coincidentally, at the same time, this is the best time ever for long form intelligent conversations so think of that it is but it's not being used that way but it is right here well right here it is but there's a lot of these but you also have people our age that are doing this because we understand both sides of this coin yeah but there's some kids in their 20s that have some pretty badass podcasts people are trying they're talking about things and this is the antidote or at least the counterpoint to this shallow online culture I feel like Andrew Schultz is the guy that can speak to the younger generation, as well as our generation can talk to each other.

[1641] He's that conduit between our world and their world.

[1642] He's certainly one of them, for sure.

[1643] And he's one of the most intelligent and reasonable guys of the young up -and -coming generation.

[1644] He's the most, one of the most thoughtful, also one of the most clever in terms of, like, the choices he makes and the way he, like, doing the thing that he did for Netflix, and taking the time during the pandemic to innovate.

[1645] Yep.

[1646] I'm a big fan of the way he moves.

[1647] Absolutely.

[1648] I also feel like he's the guy who can explain to these people why these people are this way and why this isn't bad and why it should be okay.

[1649] Yeah, well, that's what he did with those Netflix clips.

[1650] Absolutely.

[1651] Yeah, those Netflix clips.

[1652] He killed it.

[1653] And there's so many fucking jokes that he drops in there.

[1654] It's like watching an episode of Veep.

[1655] You know, you catch jokes.

[1656] You have to watch it five, six, six.

[1657] times in order to catch every joke well his is like visuals and punchline after punchline after punchline it's incredible rapid fire oh yeah it's like a fucking semi -automatic coming at you yeah well you know the every generation needs someone who's out there pushing the boundaries and out there you know trying to innovate and trying to you know hustle he's a non -tapper he won't tap that's right that's right he's not tapping some people tap too quick yeah I tapped with you quick but it was in pain what you want for me you yeah you listen you had me in a calf slisher that fucking thing hurts dude it was not a cap slicer it was a calf slicer on to the on the way to the move I was just setting up the twist yeah yeah that hurts I'm glad I tapped when I tapped I'll tell you this I wasn't mean to you though no you make it it seem like no no no you listen you weren't a bully okay you had me in a move on the way to a move uh huh you know it's it's pressure it's like tapping because of pressure it's the same thing a lot you know John Jack's not going to tap from pressure well he's not gonna John Jack in that position you're not getting him in that position did I ever tell you I would tell you when I was rolling with him last it must have been about a year and a half ago and my ankle to this day still hurts because he's in my guard and I had my leg up high on on his back and I'm like ooh I'm gonna try rubber guard oh no so I had my leg up high on his back yeah like right around here you know And I, and I, and he feels my leg up high, and I reach over and he goes, you're not flexible enough.

[1658] And having never done rubber guard, seeing videos of Eddie do it and all these guys in 10th Planet do, and I go, I'm going to try rubber guard.

[1659] But because he said, you're not flexible enough, my ego went, I'm going to fucking go for it.

[1660] And I didn't know that I had to grab my leg.

[1661] I grabbed my foot Oh And I cranked my foot And you hurt your own ankle I hurt my own To this day It still hurts Yeah Yeah I literally I fucked myself over To this day To this day Did you get an MRI or anything?

[1665] I don't need your bullshit.

[1666] I'm like, God damn it.

[1667] Yeah, you got to be careful with the rubber guard.

[1668] Rubber guard, you want to grab below the ankle.

[1669] Yes, yes.

[1670] Guess who figured that out?

[1671] Yeah, you want to get it right here.

[1672] Yeah, so you want it underneath.

[1673] I was trying to go from over the top.

[1674] I went over the top and grabbed my foot.

[1675] Yeah, you don't want to do that.

[1676] But there is sometimes you do grab your foot.

[1677] Yeah.

[1678] Sometimes when you double bag, you have to grab your foot.

[1679] foot you have to grab your foot and make a transition yeah yeah yeah I found it the hard way you should take some 10th planet classes I really should learn some shit I would like to I would like to do it with Eddie yeah he'll do it I'll set it up yeah that'd be great Eddie's the best because I know Eddie's been going gee lately oh he'll do both you know he likes to fuck around with the ghee yeah he's been coming back and hanging out yeah yeah when I met Eddie he was all gee you know yeah I saw a picture I saw pictures I didn't know he had a long hair and stuff oh he had crazy long hair back when he was in his rock roll days.

[1680] He used to put his hair in like a scuba helmet.

[1681] Like not a scuba helmet, like a mask.

[1682] Like he would tuck all his hair because he had this, like his hair down to his ass.

[1683] It was like a metal head.

[1684] So he would like, I don't know what he would do, but he'd wrap it all up like a seek and fucking tuck it in this fucking.

[1685] Tied under his chin and stuff.

[1686] He had this whole fucking scuba thing that he would put on his head when he would roll.

[1687] A lot of the black belts in the gym are like, you know, we used to this think he was a weird guy.

[1688] Look at him.

[1689] He was like, look at him.

[1690] He's so pretty.

[1693] Is Sam out here now?

[1694] Tripoli?

[1695] No, no. I don't believe so.

[1696] Where did he move to?

[1697] Did he move?

[1698] Did he move?

[1699] Did he move?

[1700] I don't know.

[1701] So LA's kind of opening up again, right?

[1702] Yeah, I think the store opened this past weekend.

[1703] Yeah.

[1704] You're the Pied Piper, though.

[1705] Everybody came out.

[1706] Joe's going, we're going.

[1707] Well, it's a great place.

[1708] There's a lot of clubs out here now.

[1709] Aren't you, are you opening one?

[1710] Mm -hmm.

[1711] Yeah.

[1712] When's that happening?

[1713] It's complicated.

[1714] I'll tell you off air.

[1715] There's a lot going on.

[1716] It's not easy to does open i would love to play it you will that'll be great it does 100 % you will yeah yeah i mean when i send up the bat signal uh you'll be one of the first people i call it's um opening up one of these things takes a lot there's a lot of shit there's a red tape a lot of red tape yeah there's a lot of things have to happen it's uh but it's interesting it's a perfect storm situation yeah but it's interesting i love being out here though i'll tell you that you like joy in it like a lot very much are you doing a lot of hunting no no no i've done any hunting since i've been here it's to be some good hunting out here though yeah there's hunting and then there's like air quotes hunting where it's like you're in a fucking fenced in area yeah that's like uh some of that out it's like fishing in a stocked pond yeah a small stocked pond yeah yeah it's weird like they have feeders they do hunting over feeders here so they have this like these feeders that drop food and then these animals like get accustomed to the feeder going off every day like 9 a .m so people sit there in a tree stand at 9 a .m. waiting for these animals to come and get their food.

[1717] It's not good.

[1718] Well, it's one thing if you're trying to eradicate, like, if you have, like, pigs and you're trying to eradicate in invasive species, like wild pigs.

[1719] Right.

[1720] Then I understand why you'd have a feeder.

[1721] But it's just, it's harvesting more than it's hunting.

[1722] You're not going out in the wild looking for a wild animal.

[1723] Right.

[1724] You're kind of tricking them.

[1725] It's not fair.

[1726] What is fair?

[1727] have a gun.

[1728] It's true.

[1729] It all gets weird, right?

[1730] It's like, you know, people, like, the non -hunters is like, yeah, if you're a real man, you'd use a fucking knife.

[1731] Okay, if I was a real man, I'd use my hands.

[1732] Why would I even use a knife?

[1733] That seems stupid.

[1734] Yeah, use a fucking, use your hands.

[1735] Well, then I'd starve to death.

[1736] Like, what do you say?

[1737] That's one of the things in this book, a land so strange.

[1738] Mm -hmm.

[1739] It details the Native Americans and their persistent hunting.

[1740] Persistence hunting where they would chase these animals down and just run after them until they drop dead.

[1741] What was Vaca hunting with?

[1742] Well, they were doing whatever they could to get by.

[1743] They weren't just hunting, like they ate dogs, they fucking, they did deer shit.

[1744] They literally ate anything they could find.

[1745] They were at the verge of starving to death multiple times, and a lot of them did.

[1746] It's a crazy book, man. It's just crazy to think that.

[1747] Because it's all about the weaponry.

[1748] The Europeans came with what, I don't know what they came with, but, you know, they looked at the native people as, savages, but really the natives had their shit together.

[1749] Well, they definitely had their shit together in terms of they had...

[1750] See, that's one of the things.

[1751] I'll give you some spoilers.

[1752] When the Spaniards came here, they had horses and rifles, right?

[1753] They had muskets and guns.

[1754] And as when they lost their ships and when they got shipwrecked and when they got stuck here, they realized that they were fucked and there was no food.

[1755] So they started eating their horses.

[1756] and then they started taking their rifles and melting them down to turn them into axes so that they could cut down trees so they could build rafts so they could get out of there.

[1757] They realized they were in this terrible situation and they ate all their horses and then they melted down all their rifles and then they had a deal with angry natives.

[1758] It's crazy.

[1759] It's really interesting.

[1760] I become just completely engrossed in those kind of stories.

[1761] All these Native Americans, I've read like now it's probably like eight or nine.

[1762] books on Native American life because the you know the story's being told properly now yes it's not being told as these people were savages and we came to tame them right right it was more of a hold on there's two sides of this story yeah well I think yeah I think they told a convenient story for the long of course of course and that's what we learned growing up yeah and now they're telling a story that's like way deeper and way crazier and just it makes you think how well what you're If you could go back just a few hundred years and see...

[1763] I'd have been dead.

[1764] If you had a fast forward camera...

[1765] I could have a fast forward camera and, like, could see, you know, you'd have a fast forward video, like what it was like to go from nothing where Chicago is to Chicago.

[1766] Yeah.

[1767] What was that movie with Angelina Jolie?

[1768] Wasn't that the one?

[1769] Oh, no, it was Scarlett Johansson where she traveled all the way back in time.

[1770] Oh, Lucy?

[1771] Yeah.

[1772] Remember at the end?

[1773] Oh, yeah.

[1774] That was when she...

[1775] She took that crazy drug that turned her into a god.

[1776] Yes.

[1777] It was a good movie.

[1778] I liked that movie.

[1779] But the ending part was pretty wild where they, I like when they did that, you know.

[1780] Yeah.

[1781] Yeah.

[1782] That movie was weird.

[1783] You know what I watch on YouTube a lot is they found all those film footage of people driving like in, they colorized some of it.

[1784] You know, the 1800s in the early 1900s, New York City or whatever.

[1785] And you see the horse and carriages in the city.

[1786] They colorized it?

[1787] Yeah.

[1788] It's not very well colorized.

[1789] Everything comes up being purple.

[1790] Everyone was wearing purple for some reason.

[1791] Oh, really?

[1792] I guess that's the way the colors showed up.

[1793] What did they wear back then?

[1794] Were they in a purple?

[1795] They probably didn't have a lot of dyes back then.

[1796] Yeah, see?

[1797] This is supposed, like, the first fight caught on film.

[1798] They could be just be fucking around because no one's reacting to them.

[1799] Or maybe people just fought.

[1800] That guy's throwing sand at them.

[1801] Back it up.

[1802] Let me see it from the beginning.

[1803] Let's see his technique.

[1804] It's that old school technique.

[1805] From 1901, it's 20 seconds of film.

[1806] They didn't know shit about leg kicks back then.

[1807] Like I got jumping up and down for no reason I think they're fighting I think they're drunk and they're fighting And they just both suck They're like they're like leaving work or something Yeah Oh they're fighting dude Hey what's that rumor that you were gonna fight What is that rumor?

[1808] Have you not heard that rumor?

[1809] What's the rumor?

[1810] Joe Rogan's gonna have an M .M .A. I swear I got that rumor's been floating around I'm on Twitter too long I see people hey did you hear Joe's fighting Is he really?

[1811] I was like I can't see him doing that You don't think I would tell you?

[1812] I'm not doing that Yeah it was a pretty good That was a pretty, it had some, it had some legs for a minute.

[1813] Is this recently?

[1814] Yeah, in the past month I heard.

[1815] Thank God I'm not online.

[1816] I don't pay attention.

[1817] It was, uh, somebody said, yeah, Joe Rogan's going to fight.

[1818] And I'm like, really?

[1819] Incorrect.

[1820] Not interested.

[1821] No, trying to keep what little brain damage I have to a minimum.

[1822] I mean, it would be pretty, I'm sure fucking people would pay a fuckload of money to see to fight somebody.

[1823] Yeah, but, yeah, you'd see me get my ass kicked.

[1824] That's what they don't.

[1825] No, I don't think that would.

[1826] I have to fight someone that people hate.

[1827] Yeah.

[1828] I don't, I don't, I don't see it as, as a, as a, as a wash. Gosh.

[1829] I'm not interested.

[1830] Would you fight somebody?

[1831] I don't know.

[1832] You don't know.

[1833] I'm not thinking about it.

[1834] I mean, if the money was right, probably.

[1835] Would you?

[1836] If somebody came along with a big money fight, like you and Azizan, sorry?

[1837] Well, give me somebody who would be able to fucking defend themselves.

[1838] I want to see a slaughter fest.

[1839] All right.

[1840] Who would you think you'd match up well with?

[1841] I don't know.

[1842] It would have to be somebody in the same age bracket, I would imagine.

[1843] Right, right.

[1844] Who has some sort of training at some point.

[1845] I don't want to be But at the same time I wouldn't want them to be too tough I don't know what my intestinal fortitudes Like nowadays Well you'd have to train more than once a week too Yeah I'd go into full training camp Full training camp Full training camp If I was going to fight somebody I'd go into a full training camp How many months?

[1846] Three at least Three months, that's all you'd need To get ready for a fight?

[1847] I would say three to five But what would you like If I gave you an ideal time Five months Five months Yeah really Just get my shit together The first month would be getting your mental right getting your mental right that's a whole month at least yeah you got how do you do that you got to break habits break habits you got to break bad habits you got to break the sleeping in you got to break the booze would be easy to get rid of i don't it's you know i like it but it's not like an important thing to me hmm i you know i can go without drinking that's not a big deal to me cigars i do love you know what it's your fault by the way that this buffalo trace is now in my life it's good stuff it's fucking fantastic have a little There you go.

[1848] Put in my little Joe Rogan cup here.

[1849] There you go.

[1850] Good, that's a lot.

[1851] Cheers.

[1852] Cheers, pali.

[1853] Cheers, my brother.

[1854] Don't go fighting anybody.

[1855] I'm not fighting anybody.

[1856] You crazy?

[1857] Chad Johnson's supposed to fight, and I can't find out who he's going to fight.

[1858] They've only said who he's not going to fight.

[1859] Well, maybe they don't have a fight set for him.

[1860] Oh, it's on Triller?

[1861] Yeah, it's on the Mayweather Logan Paul card.

[1862] Really?

[1863] June 6th.

[1864] Really?

[1865] Now, is Mayweather fighting both of them, or is he just fighting the one?

[1866] He's just fighting the one.

[1867] He's fighting Logan.

[1868] What thing's going to happen there?

[1869] I mean, listen, you can't, I don't care if you fucking like boxing.

[1870] And you look good doing it.

[1871] You're not going to beat the fun of the best fighters ever.

[1872] It's just not the fucking way the world works.

[1873] I know, but isn't it funny that he's like 50 pounds lighter?

[1874] Yeah, because he doesn't give a shit.

[1875] It's kind of funny, though.

[1876] It's not the first guy 50 pounds heavier than him.

[1877] He's lit up.

[1878] He's probably lit him up in the gym.

[1879] Oh, for sure.

[1880] Caleb Plant was the whipping boy in the Mayweather gym before.

[1881] Was he?

[1882] He was the guy that got his ass beat by everybody, and then he became the top guy.

[1883] But I always say the more you get your ass whoop and you don't like it, the more you're going to get better at not getting your ass woke.

[1884] You know, I'm not that familiar with Caleb Plant.

[1885] I know he's really good, but I don't think I've seen any of his fights.

[1886] I mean, listen, and let's call it what it is.

[1887] Let's call it what it is.

[1888] I mean, Conella will beat him, but that doesn't mean Caleb's a pushover by any means.

[1889] Just pull up some Caleb Plant highlights.

[1890] You know who I'm a big fan of?

[1891] Tiofimo Lopez Oh, I love that kid That motherfucker can crack Yeah And both my kids are half Honduran So that's kind of Oh yeah, there you go A little soft spot for me He can crack He can crack I just want him to have A couple of more fights before he steps it up Steps it up I mean He beat Lomachenko He did beat Lomachenko But I mean Lomachenko had a year off Lomichango didn't look good That's not to negate anything Tio Fumo did Tio Fimo is the truth For sure Is Caleb plan undefeated?

[1892] Maybe, I don't know.

[1893] There was a guy I was watching last week.

[1894] He had 28 first -on -lockouters?

[1895] You look at the way he comes in now?

[1896] I mean, that's because of, you know, years of getting into wars in the gym.

[1897] So he was a Mayweather guy?

[1898] He was a Mayweather guy.

[1899] He was in the gym.

[1900] He was a young kid.

[1901] I think a friend of mine who worked for Mayweather.

[1902] Dude, look at his head.

[1903] Reminded me that I saw Caleb in the gym the one time I went to go watch Mayweather train.

[1904] And I think he said Caleb must have been four or five, know at that time he looks slick and uh but he's he's one of those guys that really fucking puts his nose to the grind and and and and fixes his mistakes as well it's kind of one of those things man where when you're short left hook you see that's a that's a mayweather thing right when you're facing a guy like canelo alvarez that's so good right now he's like it's it's hard to get to those r pms without having the kind of fights that canals had without having those two triple G fights, without having that fight with Mayweather, without having the fight with Danny Jacobs, without having the James Kirkland fight, all those fights where he built up to where he is now, high profile, where Caleb, obviously, is very skillful.

[1905] He hasn't had those high profile big fights.

[1906] It's so hard to step in.

[1907] And the pressure attached with it.

[1908] Now watching him starch Billy Joe Saunders like that.

[1909] And Saunders is a good fighter.

[1910] He's a very good fight.

[1911] Tough kid.

[1912] Undefeated, super tough, super slick and to see him crack him like that just the consequences of missing and getting countered by canello are so high cano sets traps the from from the first round we did it to amir con i was at that fight and amir was looking great but i was i was noticing that um that he kept whackin uh amir to the body and he was getting a red spot there and eventually you're going to want to defend that area it's going to hurt yeah and the minute you drop that hand he set you up yeah he set up from the first round he's a monster the fact that he knocked out covalov like jesus christ covalov's a light heavy way i know covalov had seen better days by the time that fight came around but the fact that he stopped him like that just beat him up covalette was an interesting one because he was very dominant and then all of a sudden just fell apart after andre ward booze buddy booze did him in booze a lot of things did him in but apparently he likes to drink oh well he's russian you know they do like their vodka And also, you know, Andre Ward crushed him, you know, especially the second fight.

[1913] And the first fight, arguably, he could have won that fight.

[1914] You know, it would be nice if Ward came out of retirement to fight Canelo.

[1915] Well, they offered it to him after the Covalhoff fight.

[1916] And I admire Andre Ward greatly.

[1917] I think he's one of the best examples of what a guy can do if he just decides, I'm done.

[1918] He wins an Olympic gold medal.

[1919] He wins two world titles and two different weight classes.

[1920] retires undefeated and did most of it with one arm right did most of it without having a right shoulder eventually the bank will catch up with you the money will get right and you'll come out you think so you think he will there's the talk of lennox fighting mike yeah but lennox is different than Andre you know i mean lennox is going to be 55 56 years old this year yeah um Lennox is going to do it apparently i talked to him on the phone i was well he was at my house last week we talked about but he said if he does it he's going to go into a full fucking training camp well he needs a lot of time because he's not really oh he's been dropping weight he's been dropping weight he's looking good right but he hasn't really been working out no but lennox is also a very mentally strong man oh yeah he's got that he's got that thing yeah well he's fucking lennox lewis it's true he is the day if he's alive he's still lennox lewis he's always throwing punches at me is he's always there's also today there's pharmaceutical interventions you know and he's not that guy Work around age Yeah he's He looks great Yeah You know When he's at the house People are like How old are you And he's like Tells him his age You're like what Black don't crack Black don't crack Brown don't frown Yeah Well he's just He also retired With his wits about him too You know Plays a lot of chess Always play chess Yeah And backgammon He's good right He's good at chess He's like ranked Right He's very very good And a focus That I'll never have For chess?

[1921] for anything he does when he won he's very competitive in that in that regard do you have any game that you play I really wish I did want you pick one up you play jiu jihitsu it's kind of a game it is jiu jiu jitsu is a fucking incredible guy I always tell people it's it's great for every part of your body do you get into open classes yeah absolutely how often do you roll in with strangers I'll roll with some guys I know first then after I warm up then I'll then I'll roll with some strangers you know I'm always a little leery of strangers because I'm like I don't want this guy to fucking Hey, a fucked up Russell Peters.

[1922] so I start light with people because I'm like, I want to see where you're at.

[1923] I want to see what kind of game you want to roll with me and then they step but I put the gas on when I have to put the gas on.

[1924] Yeah, some people love to fucking, if they know who you are, they love to attack.

[1925] Yeah.

[1926] But you've got to be prepared for that.

[1927] I mean, if you're going to be in there, there's no halfway about it.

[1928] Well, that's one good thing about the is you can kind of slow down a lot of shit like that.

[1929] Yeah.

[1930] It's like no gey guys.

[1931] It's like holding on to a slippery dolphin like hey where you going yeah the first six minutes you're okay and then once once you start sweating it's yeah it's like trying to juggle a bar of soap how much no gie do you do not very much that's why you should go to eddies go and learn some of that stuff it'll apply john jack and i will do uh no gee every now and then unlike hot days i'll do it because i'm like i don't want to wear the fucking gets too hot right so uh no problem and then he beats my ass with no gie is uh is his gym open for the general public do you have to wear masks What do you have to be?

[1932] Oh, yeah, the city's been coming down on him.

[1933] Yeah?

[1934] Real, real bad.

[1935] But I think, hopefully, you know, once everything opens up.

[1936] Yeah, maybe he'll have to just COVID test people.

[1937] Yeah, he does.

[1938] He's doing the masks and COVID.

[1939] A lot of times it's just a lot of calisthenics and stuff.

[1940] They're doing the gym.

[1941] If they can drop the price of tests down very low, you could really eliminate a lot of the problems, you know?

[1942] It's unnecessarily expensive.

[1943] I don't know about that.

[1944] I don't know what the process of developing a rapid antigen test is.

[1945] Maybe it's not, but they are kind of expensive.

[1946] Do you pay the lady that does this one here?

[1947] No, she works for free.

[1948] What do you think?

[1949] I mean, I don't know.

[1950] I mean, you know, a lot of times people will do it just to, you know, say I. Oh, of course, yeah.

[1951] To build a resume.

[1952] No, I've been testing people since day one.

[1953] April of last year.

[1954] Yeah.

[1955] Yeah.

[1956] When we locked down, we started testing the moment they got tests.

[1957] The moment we could get tests.

[1958] You're always at the forefront of things, though, so.

[1959] Well, I realized that you have a responsibility.

[1960] Yeah.

[1961] You got a responsibility to do that.

[1962] And then, you know, I also wanted to figure out, what do I have to do to stay healthy?

[1963] I don't want to get sick.

[1964] And then as time went on, you know, kind of realize what you have to do in terms of health -wise.

[1965] And, you know, and I go pretty above and beyond in that department.

[1966] Well, you've got to protect it.

[1967] Yeah.

[1968] You've got to protect what you've got.

[1969] I mean, this is not a, you know, it's not a mom -and -pop business you're running here.

[1970] Well, it's not just that.

[1971] I wanted to keep doing it, man. I know a lot of people that had real mental health problems because they didn't do shit this year.

[1972] My comic friends that don't have podcasts or, you know, there was a lot of people that I talked to, like, deep into July and August that hadn't seen a single fucking person.

[1973] The entire lockdown.

[1974] They had done nothing but go to the grocery store and then go home.

[1975] They hadn't done anything.

[1976] And they mentally, they suffered.

[1977] That's a thing, man. Especially comics were very, you know, we think too much.

[1978] Yeah, well, it's why we do what we do.

[1979] I think if you're not a thinker, it's probably a lot easier to get through life.

[1980] You just kind of go with the flow and accept what people tell you.

[1981] I don't even know about that, man. I think...

[1982] Critical thinkers have really, really suffered last year.

[1983] I think so.

[1984] But I think everybody suffered.

[1985] I think it's fucking hard for people when the world gets weird, you know, and you get nervous, get anxiety.

[1986] Yep.

[1987] You know?

[1988] I never really let it weigh my brain down because that's so many other problems going on.

[1989] I was like, you know what?

[1990] That's the last thing I need to fucking add into this mix.

[1991] well that's good you know and you kept up with the vitamins and everything yeah the vitamins i've been on for many years now and i really think that saved my ass a lot high high doses of vitamin d i was on for years and i didn't realize the uh you know i didn't know it was going to benefit me in the long run but i'm glad it did well it's a big one for brown folks too you know yeah you're not the darkest skin guy but if you think about like people that are like dark black it's a real issue man because it's hard to get that vitamin d just for the sun.

[1992] You know, the whole reason why they have that dark pigment is the body is protected from the sun, the sun's rays, but that makes it more difficult to get melanin.

[1993] Whereas a guy like Canello, which is hilarious that he's Mexican.

[1994] He's a white as fucking guy that's ever lived.

[1995] He's very Ritchie Cunningham.

[1996] It is hilarious, isn't it?

[1997] I like that he's learned English, though.

[1998] Oh, he's getting better.

[1999] Yeah.

[2000] Do you see the post fight with Bubu Andrade calling him out?

[2001] What is that about?

[2002] You never fought anybody when he said you didn't fight anybody?

[2003] Yeah, well, Canello said to him he didn't fight anybody.

[2004] But he said to Canello, who the fuck who you fought.

[2005] He's like, who have I fought?

[2006] You fought nobody.

[2007] Get out.

[2008] Get the fuck out.

[2009] I mean, who can he fight, though, to make a name?

[2010] Like, everybody wants that big name.

[2011] They want to fight Canello, but who can Andrade fight to get...

[2012] Well, everybody wants to get paid now.

[2013] It's all about...

[2014] Everyone's really driven by the dollar nowadays.

[2015] But it's gotta be...

[2016] It's gotta make sense, right?

[2017] No one's calling for that fight other than him.

[2018] Right.

[2019] Who, I mean, who are you calling for?

[2020] I mean, he's the top of the food chain.

[2021] That's what you want, right?

[2022] You got Caleb Plant.

[2023] You got Caleb Plant.

[2024] You're...

[2025] You got Triple G. Those are the only people that anybody's calling and then he's going to have to move up if he wants to...

[2026] Or Andre Ward comes back.

[2027] Yeah, that'd be great.

[2028] I'd like to see that.

[2029] I don't think he's going to...

[2030] I love the fact that he said I'm a better servant of boxing if I just...

[2031] I can serve boxing better as a commentator and just being a representative of the sport.

[2032] And also, super articulate, has zero problems with his speech.

[2033] You know, no sign of brain damage at all.

[2034] Everything's smooth, handsome, in shape, still fit, still works out.

[2035] He's gained a little, though.

[2036] I noticed a little chubbiness on it.

[2037] What's the fuck out of here?

[2038] You've seen his Instagram?

[2039] Not like fucking fat, but I mean, like, you know, he's not, obviously not a walking weight and not a fight weight.

[2040] How dare you?

[2041] Shut your mouth.

[2042] Go to Andre Ward's Instagram and watch, there's some videos of him shadowboxing.

[2043] Dude.

[2044] He looks as crisp as ever.

[2045] He looks smooth as fuck.

[2046] Did you hear that Tony is fighting?

[2047] Look at this.

[2048] Where are you seeing fat?

[2049] You shut your mouth.

[2050] If you were dirty, filthy mouth, Russell Peters.

[2051] Come on.

[2052] How the fuck could you say he looks fat?

[2053] When is this from?

[2054] Yesterday!

[2055] Yeah, right.

[2056] Dude, it's from a week a week ago.

[2057] I'm not bullshitting.

[2058] He said 10 weeks, but it's not that long.

[2059] It's a deep fake.

[2060] Come on, bro.

[2061] That's him.

[2062] Looking smooth as fuck.

[2063] There's two of these.

[2064] There's two of these videos.

[2065] That doesn't go away.

[2066] I'm just saying is...

[2067] What do you mean that doesn't go away?

[2068] But he's thin, Russell.

[2069] He looks good.

[2070] He's another one.

[2071] Look at this one.

[2072] He's not in my shape.

[2073] Shut your hole.

[2074] You're a dirty, stinking hole.

[2075] Look at that.

[2076] Come on, Russell.

[2077] He misses it.

[2078] Look, you see when a fighter does all that?

[2079] He's like, you can tell he misses it.

[2080] I'm sure he misses it, but he doesn't miss it to the point where he wants to come back.

[2081] He said, them hands still work.

[2082] Fighters that put videos not like this are trying to bait you and to offer them a lot of money to do something.

[2083] Well, that is the most compelling fight for Canello.

[2084] It would be a great fight.

[2085] By far.

[2086] By far.

[2087] It would sell a fuckload of money.

[2088] But if you were Andre Ward, don't you think it would.

[2089] would be wise to not go straight into Canelo -Avarez?

[2090] Yeah, you'd need one tune -up, and he'd be back.

[2091] Who do you think he would fight?

[2092] Maybe Boudro and Drottie.

[2093] That'd be good.

[2094] That'd be good.

[2095] If he lights him up?

[2096] Yeah.

[2097] Lights up a guy who's very active.

[2098] I'm saying it's a lot of interesting things out there.

[2099] Yeah, I'm not even familiar with Andrody.

[2100] James Tony's apparently fighting Shannon Briggs.

[2101] Is that true, though?

[2102] That's what I heard.

[2103] I'm going to call Shannon after.

[2104] This is what I've gotten from Shannon Briggs' Instagram, because he's talking shit about change Tony but virtually every day listen you know but but that's that's that's that's Shannon yeah you know he's the best Shannon's got a good weed company go let's go champ let's go um have you been on the road at all I've been on the road along how when did you start uh I started taking dates late June last year yeah yeah and then uh you know it picked up then it died down picked up died down according to the waves um but since January I've been going pretty good.

[2105] Yeah?

[2106] Florida did a lot of Florida work.

[2107] Really?

[2108] Atlanta.

[2109] Florida doesn't give a fuck.

[2110] Florida was like they were socially, their social distancing is six inches apart.

[2111] They don't give a fuck.

[2112] But here's the thing is it, it's not affecting people.

[2113] That's what's crazy in terms of like the numbers.

[2114] It's, you know, I love it.

[2115] I love the idea of giving people the opportunity to do whatever they want to do.

[2116] We're not talking about the Black Plague folks.

[2117] Let people do what they want to do.

[2118] Florida lets people do what they want to do.

[2119] Yeah, let you make your own decision yeah and you can't blame anybody the problem is we've taken accountability away from everybody because everybody has the ability or the right to sue anybody they want well also we've given these fucking crazy people this free license to scream at someone to put a mask on does this thing that people do even when you're outside like california they love it they love doing that in california i feel guilty when i'm eating and i have my mask off i'm like i want to hold the food up high so nobody i don't i don't want any altercations i don't have to tell you to go Fuck yourself, you know what I mean?

[2120] Is there any place that tells you to put a mask on in between bites of food?

[2121] I've heard that.

[2122] On some flights, I've heard, if you're eating, lower your mask, eat.

[2123] And I'm like, I'm not going to fucking get crumbs and food all up in my fucking mask.

[2124] Well, the thing is about flights.

[2125] Flights are relatively safe, apparently, because they have the hepa filters.

[2126] Right.

[2127] The hepa filters that they have on flights are apparently...

[2128] And nobody's caught it from a flight.

[2129] Is that true?

[2130] I don't know that to be true.

[2131] I don't know if that's true.

[2132] And if they have, it's, you know...

[2133] I think there was a lady that caught it.

[2134] She thinks she caught it from a bathroom.

[2135] But how do you fuck do you know where you caught it from?

[2136] Because you don't feel sick for a couple days.

[2137] And then you're like, oh, the flight, I went in the bathroom.

[2138] That's where I got it.

[2139] Yeah, I mean, it's based on the information they think they have.

[2140] Yeah.

[2141] It's not based on anything.

[2142] It's based on...

[2143] Here's what seems like a good answer.

[2144] What have the crowd's been like on the road?

[2145] Amazing.

[2146] Happy, right?

[2147] Happy.

[2148] They're all happy to be out, you know.

[2149] And getting good responses in places I've gotten no response.

[2150] before.

[2151] Do you think you're getting ready to do a special?

[2152] No, I will.

[2153] I will.

[2154] I want to go on tour first and get that act right.

[2155] Get juicy.

[2156] Get nice and juicy, yeah.

[2157] Because this next one's going to be in my 10th special.

[2158] Tenth special.

[2159] God damn, Russell.

[2160] Knuckles.

[2161] My man. Out there slinging dick for over a decade.

[2162] Woo!

[2163] So.

[2164] That's awesome.

[2165] But I want to make sure this is a good special too.

[2166] Like, you know, it's got to matter.

[2167] I don't want to put the pressure on myself, But at the same time, you know what?

[2168] I don't want to give them any fluff.

[2169] Right, especially post -COVID.

[2170] And, you know, you got guys like you and Dave and Donnell and everybody coming out with really solid fucking stuff now.

[2171] And it's good for the game because it makes everybody think harder.

[2172] Well, there's a high level of comedy out right now for sure.

[2173] You know, and you're seeing it.

[2174] You know, I'm really impressed with the local Austin scene.

[2175] Really impressed.

[2176] Yeah.

[2177] I've been seeing a lot of these kids that go up and kill Tony.

[2178] Yeah, I didn't realize how big the scene was out here.

[2179] It's big.

[2180] And it's gotten a lot bigger.

[2181] since we moved here.

[2182] Yeah.

[2183] And they've opened up quite a few clubs.

[2184] You know, there's a Creek in the Cave, which I'm there Wednesday and Thursday this week with Tony and Whitney and Joe List.

[2185] Is Whitney out here now?

[2186] No. She's thinking about moving out here, but she's just coming out here to visit.

[2187] They have Sunset Trip Comedy Club.

[2188] They have the Romo room.

[2189] They have Vulcan Gas Company.

[2190] And then they're going to open up the new version of Cap City, which is going to be in the domain.

[2191] And then I'm going to open up my place.

[2192] Do you have a name for yours yet?

[2193] No, I can't tell you.

[2194] I'll tell you off air.

[2195] Okay.

[2196] Yeah, I got a name.

[2197] But I got plans, Russell.

[2198] I know.

[2199] It's complicated to get these plans off.

[2200] It's interesting.

[2201] Like, it's a lesson.

[2202] You know, I've never done this before, so it's a lesson.

[2203] Yeah, it's one of those things, you know, you've worked in the clubs for so long, so you know what's wrong with them and what not to do.

[2204] Well, I also know what's right with them by working at the store.

[2205] Right.

[2206] And I want to emulate that environment and make it as comfortable as possible for the comics.

[2207] and that's my main goal make it a fun place where comics can call home so you got a home base you've got a place where you can go you know you're going to be safe you can go fuck around we're going to use those bags bags for sure and gonna have good food nice staff I want everybody to be treated well and paid well I want everybody to feel good about working there yeah my goal is not to make any money my goal is just to not lose any money that's my goal that's a good goal that's all I want to do I just want to make it nice well it's different when you come from this side of it yeah You're not coming into it as a businessman.

[2208] You're coming into it as a guy who cares about the art. And a guy who's in a position where I can do something fun.

[2209] I can actually make something happen.

[2210] I really can do it, you know.

[2211] So I feel like I have to.

[2212] I feel like I'm supposed to.

[2213] It's like, you know, I could just think about myself, but I really feel like I can do a service for the comedy community and help.

[2214] I really do.

[2215] Yeah.

[2216] So that's what I want to do.

[2217] You're what, 33 years in the game too as well?

[2218] Yep.

[2219] Yep.

[2220] You've got a year on me. Whoa.

[2221] Crazy times.

[2222] Yeah.

[2223] It would be 33 years in August.

[2224] Yeah, I'm 32 in November.

[2225] Isn't that nuts?

[2226] It is wild.

[2227] Imagine when you started out thinking that you'd be doing it 32 years later?

[2228] I always thought I would.

[2229] I just didn't know where I would be.

[2230] I just figured I would be a road comic.

[2231] I felt like I would be a physical wreck 30 years later.

[2232] I'd be like, oh, my God, like, what does it like to be a 53 -year -old?

[2233] Just broken.

[2234] I mean, I go back home.

[2235] I go back to Canada, and I'm like, wow, I see the guys that I came up with and they're still doing the same fucking act.

[2236] And I'm like, that's the problem with getting stuck in an island, you know, get stuck in a little comedy island.

[2237] And it's not their act is bad.

[2238] It's a fantastic act and it's fully polished, but you got to reach a little, you know what I mean?

[2239] You got to get out there.

[2240] The game changed.

[2241] It's not like you come up with your one act like it was in the 70s and 80s, and then that's what you're known for.

[2242] You've got to continuously reinvent yourself.

[2243] I've seen guys from the 80s that are still doing the same act.

[2244] I know it's wild.

[2245] Boston, Boston guys?

[2246] Yeah.

[2247] I've seen guys.

[2248] And I'm like, oh, my God, this is insanity.

[2249] It's still funny.

[2250] You know, it's like, it's stale to them, though.

[2251] Once it's stale to them, it's stale to everybody else, too.

[2252] It's got to be fresh to you.

[2253] It's one of the best things about new materials, that it's fresh to you.

[2254] Well, that's, I think that determines who you are as a comic.

[2255] If you're that, if you're the comic that cares about this a lot, you're going to continuously grow.

[2256] Yeah, and I think that applies to almost everything you're trying to do in life.

[2257] You want to be challenged.

[2258] You want things to be exciting.

[2259] You know, you want things that are like, you have to really think and work hard at it.

[2260] That way, when it comes out and it's done, You feel good.

[2261] Well, that separates career from job.

[2262] Yes.

[2263] And passion from occupation.

[2264] Because I think the guys that I saw growing up that are still doing the same act, look at it as a job.

[2265] This is how, I'm still doing what I'm going to make money.

[2266] There's guys like that that are like tradesmen.

[2267] Yeah.

[2268] You know, they could have been a plumber instead of became a comic.

[2269] Yeah.

[2270] They just, you know, they figured out this.

[2271] And then they're like, ah, fuck, that's fine.

[2272] Price check, tampons, aisle two, price check.

[2273] That's the worst when you hear about guys that you knew that had a lot of talent.

[2274] And they're like, what are you doing now?

[2275] I'm driving fucking Uber.

[2276] And you're like, oh, boy.

[2277] Yeah.

[2278] It's hard out there, bro.

[2279] It's hard.

[2280] But.

[2281] We're the lucky ones, you know.

[2282] We're the lucky ones.

[2283] Better than being Cabezza de Vaca eating dogs.

[2284] Well, you know.

[2285] And deer shit, making your way across the country on foot.

[2286] The old deer shit omelet.

[2287] Imagine if you would.

[2288] How'd they get chickens?

[2289] How did they get chickens?

[2290] Where are these chickens come from?

[2291] Domestic chickens?

[2292] Yeah.

[2293] That's a good question.

[2294] They probably came over on boats, right?

[2295] What's the, okay, let's ask this question.

[2296] Where did domestic chickens come from?

[2297] Their origin.

[2298] Right?

[2299] Because I've seen wild chickens in Mexico.

[2300] Have you ever seen those?

[2301] Mm -mm.

[2302] Yeah, they go.

[2303] For the cockfights or?

[2304] No, just like wild chickens.

[2305] It's like a type of chicken.

[2306] Like if you go to Puerto Vallarta, I was staying at a resort, and these birds are running around.

[2307] I'm like, what is that?

[2308] They're like, it's a type of wild chicken.

[2309] I was like, what?

[2310] Are they edible?

[2311] Forget what they call it.

[2312] I mean, obviously they're edible.

[2313] Most birds are edible.

[2314] Most animals are edible.

[2315] That's the thing.

[2316] Most plants are not edible.

[2317] Chickens were likely first domesticated about 5 ,400 years ago in Southeast Asia.

[2318] Although archaeological evidence of wild chickens goes back even further to a 12 ,000 -year -old site in northern China.

[2319] Once domesticated, though, chickens were brought westward to Europe and east.

[2320] southeast into Oceana.

[2321] What's Oceana?

[2322] Oceana.

[2323] That probably goes back to Pangea, maybe.

[2324] I don't know.

[2325] I was reading about my people.

[2326] They found...

[2327] Which ones?

[2328] Neanderthals.

[2329] They found evidence that a bunch of Neanderthals have been killed by hyenas in a cave in Italy.

[2330] Wow.

[2331] Yeah.

[2332] It's like, for sure.

[2333] That's where my DNA came from.

[2334] You're a hyena caveman.

[2335] Well, eaten by hyenas, man. That's a rough way to go.

[2336] go man yeah hyenas would eat you in a horrible way they're not they're not the most friendly yeah they'd probably break your ankle so you can't run they're from the dog family wouldn't they be are they canines to imagine by eating them hyenas gathered nine dandertal skeletons in one cave the antitals appeared to have met a very bad end so they just dragged them into the cave oh archaeologists in Italy recently unearthed the remains of at least nine deandatals and uh guatari cave near the, how I say that?

[2337] Terranian.

[2338] Terranian Sea.

[2339] About 100 kilograms southeast of Rome, while excavating a previously unexplored section of the cave, archaeologists from the archeological superintendency of Latina and the University of Tor Vergata, recently on earth, broken skulls, jaw bones, teeth, and pieces of several other bones, which they say represent at least nine Neanderthals.

[2340] That brings the caves total to at least 18.

[2341] Oh, 10.

[2342] Anthropologists Alberto Carlo Blanc found a Neanderthal skull in another chamber in 1939.

[2343] Oh, wow.

[2344] So they've been finding them there forever.

[2345] Italy was a very different place 60 ,000 years ago.

[2346] Hyenas, along with other Pleistocene carnivores, stalked rhinoceroses, wild horses, an extinct wild bovine called aurochs.

[2347] Orocks.

[2348] Orocks.

[2349] And people.

[2350] And people.

[2351] What?

[2352] Hainas reading people, those fucks.

[2353] Wow.

[2354] Neanderthals were preyed to these animals.

[2355] Hyenas hunted them, especially the most vulnerable, like sick or elderly individuals.

[2356] Wow, that's rough.

[2357] Hyenas are like the diesel coyotes.

[2358] They're just fucking nasty animals, man. They're just nasty.

[2359] They're evil.

[2360] And they're very mean -looking.

[2361] But just the yelling and the laughing.

[2362] Like, where'd that come from?

[2363] Imagine that's the shit you hear when you have a broken ankle.

[2364] You're like, fuck.

[2365] Yeah.

[2366] You know, you're trying to get away, and you're, he -he -he -he -he -h -ha -ha -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -h -harm.

[2367] They're -knaping at you.

[2368] That's their happy noise, you know.

[2369] Ugh.

[2370] Yeah, it's funny how, like, animals that are creepy look creepy, like vultures.

[2371] Vultures are creepy, fucking...

[2372] And they got bad posture.

[2373] But it's just look, they look like they are, you know, like, dead animal -eting cunts.

[2374] Like, fucking red, disgusting necks.

[2375] I don't like the bottom feeders Have you ever seen a Tibetan sky funeral?

[2376] You ever seen that?

[2377] What's that?

[2378] Bro.

[2379] It's rough.

[2380] It's a ritual that they do in Tibet where they feed their dead to vultures.

[2381] And the idea is that there's no reason to waste someone's body by putting it in the ground, you're better serving earth and nature and life by feeding it to the vultures.

[2382] So they would take these people's body, and they cut them open and even break open the bones and slice all the meat and then leave them out there for the vultures and the vultures there's there's really graphic images of these and still happens yeah yeah they're recent photographs that's not it's not the way I want to go not the way you want to go or not what they you want them to do with your body I don't know if I want that done to me after I'm dead I don't know man I mean like what's the point of rotting and being eaten by bacteria But here's why we're assholes We don't even let bacteria eat people We fucking embalmed them with this Disgusting toxic shit So here it is sky burial Tradition becomes controversial tourist attraction So people are filming it Which is very odd It was the monk of the car that we saw So these people were just sitting around So this is...

[2383] Yeah Do they have any actual photographs?

[2384] Not really, you can't really tell what they're eating So he's flying.

[2385] Yeah, so they...

[2386] I mean, at least you're getting swarmed and not pick that by one, you know what I mean?

[2387] Well, they're accustomed to it.

[2388] That's what's going on.

[2389] It's like these birds have kind of been trained to do it.

[2390] This is just a video.

[2391] They're probably not going to show you too much in this video.

[2392] But there's plenty of photographs where you can watch all of it and watch how they do it.

[2393] I don't think they'd allow you to show it on YouTube.

[2394] YouTube would want you to be vague about it.

[2395] They're bringing back faces of death.

[2396] Really?

[2397] Which I thought was real.

[2398] Turns out it was not real, though.

[2399] The original faces of death was all fake.

[2400] All of it?

[2401] Some of it was real.

[2402] Some of it was very disturbing.

[2403] There's another thing called traces of death that kind of got mixed in.

[2404] I was sort of looking into this because I thought I'd seen real faces of death in my past.

[2405] I had the VHSs of it back in the day.

[2406] Some of it I think for sure was fake, but there was a video that I saw where they tied this guy's legs to one bumper and they tied his arms to another bumper and that one was real as fuck because that guy was screaming and they pulled him apart.

[2407] But yeah, they're rebooting it for today, for some reason.

[2408] I don't know.

[2409] They're going to make, I don't know.

[2410] The remake?

[2411] Like more fake footage or if they're going to, I don't, Hollywood's doing it.

[2412] So, like, it was like, like, in Variety .com said, like, reboot of, you know, face of the death for 2022.

[2413] Good old Hollywood.

[2414] They love a good reboot.

[2415] What does that mean, though, when they say, like, Hollywood's doing it?

[2416] Well, like, not like a official studio.

[2417] Why would they do that?

[2418] I guess maybe they've realized civilization has crashed so hard.

[2419] Fuck it.

[2420] Let's just go all out.

[2421] They figure we're numb.

[2422] Yeah.

[2423] Then we're numb to it already.

[2424] When I was joking around about Fear Factor back in the day, I used to say that we're like three seasons away from the running man. We kind of are, right?

[2425] Faces of Death rebooting.

[2426] Didn't they bring back Fear Factor for a minute?

[2427] Ludicrous.

[2428] That's right.

[2429] Ludicrous hosted it.

[2430] Yeah.

[2431] It's, you know, it wasn't real Fear Factor, though.

[2432] They kind of like, you know, like, you're going to lose your cell phone.

[2433] Oh, my God.

[2434] You know what I mean?

[2435] Like, what's the fear?

[2436] It was low budget Like to do Fear Factor correctly You got to The reality is like the last season They went way too far They risk people's lives, I think The season you were on Yeah they got lucky I really believe that I mean not the season But the very last season When we came back for one Short amount of episodes We did like six episodes That one was risky Like they were doing some wild shit Were you into that?

[2437] No I didn't enjoy it The last season I was like We're going so far with these I was nervous that someone was going to get legitimately hurt.

[2438] Producers.

[2439] Not writers, not...

[2440] Well, I mean, you know, creative folks.

[2441] Yeah.

[2442] Yeah.

[2443] But kind of warped creative folk do you have to be?

[2444] Heavily warped.

[2445] Yeah.

[2446] You know, a lot of stunt guys.

[2447] And stunt guys are, you know, there are some risk -taking motherfuckers.

[2448] They're nutty.

[2449] They have a different perception of, like, risk and reward.

[2450] A lot of stunt guys in Jiu -Jitsu.

[2451] Oh, yeah.

[2452] A fuckload of them.

[2453] Those are the guys I don't like rolling with because I'm like, they know things we don't know.

[2454] Well, they're also, like, accustomed to getting injured.

[2455] They have a very high tolerance for pain, you know?

[2456] My friend Tate did a lot of stunt.

[2457] You remember Tate Fletcher?

[2458] Yeah.

[2459] He did a lot of stunt work, and he's done a lot of acting, too.

[2460] You know, he was, I watched John Wick a lot.

[2461] That's one of the things I like to watch when I work out.

[2462] Which one?

[2463] One, number one.

[2464] The original one.

[2465] Two is pretty good.

[2466] Three put me to sleep.

[2467] Three was not as good as two or one, but it's still good.

[2468] I still enjoyed it.

[2469] I like Hallie Barry, so I was a fan.

[2470] Yeah, I watched three in a movie.

[2471] theater in South Africa when I was on tour.

[2472] Oh, yeah.

[2473] And I fell asleep to the sound of the guns.

[2474] Maybe you were just really tired.

[2475] I may have been, but I woke up when the guns stopped for a second.

[2476] Yeah.

[2477] And then I was like, oh, and then pop, pop, pop, and I went right back to sleep.

[2478] Three didn't have any muscle cars either.

[2479] That was disappointing.

[2480] But, um, but Tate gets shot in John Wick in the, the, the scene when they went to the red circle bar.

[2481] Yeah, I remember, I remember seeing him in it.

[2482] He gets shot.

[2483] Wasn't it an M .A fighter at one point?

[2484] Oh, yeah, yeah.

[2485] Yeah.

[2486] the ultimate fighter that's right season i remember what season season season and michael bisping won yes yes yes um but he was doing some stunt work and he suffered a really bad head injury really yeah really bad and it fucked him up for over a year like how did he get it um i do not know is a stunt and during the stunt he hit his head really badly and um oh i think i heard the story I think it was they had already done it once and he kind of got away with it.

[2487] And they were like, we want to do another one.

[2488] And even he was like, I don't really want to do another one.

[2489] And I think they made him do a second take and that's how he hurt himself.

[2490] If I am quoting this correctly.

[2491] I do not know, but I know, you know, people fucking die doing movies, man. Yeah.

[2492] You know, it happens.

[2493] Remember when they did the Twilight Zone movie?

[2494] Remember the helicopter accident?

[2495] Oh, yeah.

[2496] That was horrific.

[2497] That was really bad.

[2498] That was horrific.

[2499] Yeah, that video was.

[2500] horrific yeah and then bruce lee's son mm -hmm yep how the fuck did that happen well they had a blank and uh the blank had some sort of particle that was uh in the cartridge so even though it was blank there was a piece of something that shot out of the gun and hit him yeah yeah so i think they changed where you're allowed to shoot somebody in movies with blanks now when you aim at someone with a blank you have to like aim slightly off to the side you don't have to actually aim at them anymore right yeah especially with you know point -of -view shots you can yeah make it just a blank alone can kill you there was a guy that uh I was friends with back in the day was an actor and one of his buddies was on the set and uh he had a blank gun and he thought it'd be fun to take the gun and put it to his head and pull the trigger and it killed them just the force of air coming out of the gun killed them yeah that'll do it to you yeah there's a lot of pressure coming at you airbags will kill you do they yeah if they I remember getting a car accident once and the airbag deployed on the steering wheel.

[2501] And I don't know how I avoided getting hurt, but it hit my finger and my finger went black.

[2502] It was like, it fucking hit hard.

[2503] It was numb.

[2504] That's why they say little kids shouldn't sit up front.

[2505] Right.

[2506] Yeah, because you get walloped by that fucking airbag.

[2507] Yeah.

[2508] I do think if you face the kid backwards in the front seat, it would probably be good too, you know.

[2509] Push the front seat back, put the car seat in backwards.

[2510] They should be okay.

[2511] I don't know.

[2512] I don't think you're even supposed to do that.

[2513] No, you're not allowed to, but, I mean, you know, we grew up in the, we grew up in the, no seatbelt era.

[2514] No seatbelt era.

[2515] Drum brakes.

[2516] Oh, yeah, yeah.

[2517] My dad had a 77 Hornet, AMC Hornet, orange one, and driving home from my aunt's house, I'd be like, tired, and I'd be like, dad, can I sit in the, because of a station wagon.

[2518] I'm going to lay down in the back back.

[2519] There was the back, and then there was the back back.

[2520] And he didn't give a fuck if he'd be taking turns.

[2521] You're rolling around.

[2522] Yeah, you could just do things with kids back then.

[2523] You could tie them to the roof.

[2524] Yeah, if you wanted to.

[2525] Yeah, nobody gave a shit.

[2526] Sitting in the back of the, in the back of a pickup truck was no big deal.

[2527] There was no rules.

[2528] There was no rules.

[2529] Yeah, you didn't even have to have a seatbelt on back then.

[2530] And then they eventually came up with baby seats and a bunch of other ones.

[2531] What did they do before?

[2532] They probably put a fucking, they probably put like a stroller and just shoved that stroller in the back seat.

[2533] The kid just was stuck in there.

[2534] No, you would sit on your mom's lap, but she would hold you.

[2535] Oh.

[2536] I remember sitting on my mom's lap and driving.

[2537] But the people that made it through those eras, they were hardier folk.

[2538] where apparently we're a hearty bunch us yeah and the vaccinations left scars remember we get that polio vaccine oh yeah that's why and then there was the immigrant scar too that's how people knew you were immigrant they go yeah i got my i got my i got my scar what was that from uh from whatever vaccination they got when they came to the new land was it polio wasn't it may it may have been a polio shot uh whatever it was that you would see people our age that would have like this little little circle it looked like a burn mark almost on their arm remember how i mean not that we remember but it was It was so easy when my grandparents came over here.

[2539] You just have to make it over here.

[2540] Where did your grandparents come from?

[2541] Italy.

[2542] Most of them from Italy and my grandfather on my father's side from Ireland.

[2543] But they just had to get over here.

[2544] Yeah, that was it.

[2545] That was the trick.

[2546] Yeah.

[2547] Get over here and you're in.

[2548] Yeah.

[2549] I was watching that documentary on one of my flights recently about the Chinese Exclusion Act.

[2550] I've seen that document?

[2551] What's that?

[2552] There was this whole act in the...

[2553] They were showing about like the first Chinese guy that came to America.

[2554] and I think it was in the 1700s he came over and then he proved to be a good work and eventually by the 1800s there was like 60 ,000 Chinese people and then for some reason America had a problem with them and they had this exclusion act too they'd even allowed black people to be free and black people to vote but the Chinese were considered less than human what year was this was the 1800s 1882 yeah is this is this when they were were working on the railroads a lot.

[2555] Then they let them come in and work on the railroad, but they wouldn't allow them to become citizens.

[2556] Bro, you ever see photos of Chinese people working on the railroads?

[2557] They're some of the bleakest photos.

[2558] And they all had their hair back.

[2559] Like, their foreheads were huge for some of the way they would pull their hair back.

[2560] They probably didn't want their hair to get stuck on the fucking tracks.

[2561] That sounds about right.

[2562] Imagine the train comes by and catches you by the hair.

[2563] Oh, yeah.

[2564] They used them pretty badly.

[2565] It's a horrific story.

[2566] But the photos.

[2567] I was watching that Hulu docu series Sasquatch and it was talking a lot about, you know, like the people that they used to make the railroads and to mine and the people that that used to chop, to cut down the trees up in the Pacific Northwest and up in Northern California.

[2568] Yeah, with the, there's these photos that they showed of these Chinese folks that were working on those railroads and it's so depressing man yeah they were treated like shit and there's just no hope you're not getting out of that there's no upward mobility there's no there's no future yeah there's uh no promise yeah and then they weren't allowing them to become u .s citizens even if they were born here you know it's crazy even today like in harvard it's more difficult for asian people to get in than anybody else really yeah there's a lawsuit about it right now yeah apparently they have so many Asian folks that were getting into Harvard that they decided to specifically tailor their tests to make it more difficult or their requirements or what they what they see I don't want to fuck this up because Andrew Yang's people were the ones who were talking to me about it one of the guys who came last time when Andrew Yang was here nice guy that Andrew Yang he's a great guy he's a great guy I hope he runs again well he's going to run for mayor of New York City he's running right now and Tim and this other gentleman who was I forget what he did but this other guy carries a fucking gun and he's talking about like ramping up police presence and he's a black guy and a lot of people are behind him and they think like this is what we need to turn the city around like they need to respect law and order right they need to do something about the fucking crime there's a shooting spree in Times Square the other day were a four -year -old got shot woman and her daughter it's crazy man so here it is The appeals court rules Harvard doesn't discriminate against Asian American applicants.

[2569] Oh, okay.

[2570] So this is a federal appeals court in Boston has ruled.

[2571] Harvard doesn't intentionally discriminate against Asian American applicants.

[2572] So what was the argument?

[2573] Because there was a lot of Asian people that were insisting that that was the case.

[2574] Said the statistical evidence did not show that Harvard intentionally discriminated against Asian Americans.

[2575] Students for fair admissions and advocacy group first filed its lawsuit in 2004.

[2576] saying it's Harvard, that Harvard's raced -based considerations for applicants discriminated against Asian -American students in process.

[2577] Today's decision, once again, finds that Harvard's admission policies were consistent with Supreme Court precedent and lawfully and appropriately pursue Harvard's efforts to create a diverse campus that promotes learning and encourages mutual respect and understanding our community.

[2578] What is the argument, though?

[2579] Proponents for ending race -based considerations at U .S. University, were unfazed by Thursday's decision and planned to bring the case to the Supreme Court.

[2580] So what does it say?

[2581] What is the question?

[2582] Okay, the question of how much race should be a factor in college applications is a hotly contested one.

[2583] President Trump's administration has challenged college on using race in admission policies claiming such practices violate federal law.

[2584] Last month, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Yale University, saying its policies violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

[2585] Yale has said the lawsuit is baseless.

[2586] What does school's admissions rules though?

[2587] That's what I'm confused with.

[2588] Well, so does that mean external Chinese people or Chinese Americans?

[2589] I think, I just think it's just Asian period.

[2590] Well, when they do race, they don't they don't say we only want African Americans.

[2591] I mean, I'm Asian.

[2592] Right.

[2593] Right.

[2594] So, I mean, it's vague.

[2595] Right.

[2596] But I mean, I can understand.

[2597] You're Canadian.

[2598] You're Canadian.

[2599] It can't everything out?

[2600] It's true.

[2601] What is the race -based admission policy, though, that makes them say that they discriminated?

[2602] Does it say?

[2603] See if you can find, oh, look, they've tried to pop up bad, you motherfuckers.

[2604] See if you can find what the argument is that Harvard does discriminate against Asians.

[2605] But these guys that were with Andrew Yang, they believed pretty strongly that that's what Harvard was doing.

[2606] I mean, you know, there's a lot of those admissions tests that are racially biased, according to how you grew up and what you know, you know.

[2607] So, I think what they tried to do is make it, the person who wrote the test or whatever wrote it from their perspective.

[2608] We need to fix society so that you never have to think about that shit at all, you know?

[2609] Oh, here it goes.

[2610] In the lawsuit, plaintiffs claim that Harvard imposes a soft racial quota which keeps the number of Asian Americans artificially low.

[2611] The low percentage of Asians admitted to Harvard, plaintiffs maintained was suspiciously similar year after year, despite dramatic increases in the number of Asian American applicants and the size of the Asian American population.

[2612] During the lawsuit, the plaintiffs gained access to Harvard's individualized admission files from 2014 to 19 and aggregate data from 2000 to 2019.

[2613] The plaintiffs also interviewed and deposed numerous Harvard officials from those sources.

[2614] The plaintiffs reveal that Harvard emissions officers consistently rated Asian American applicants as a group lower than others on traits like positive personality, likeability, courage, kindness, and being widely respected.

[2615] What the fuck?

[2616] Just think about what that says.

[2617] They rate you on positive personality, like ability, courage, kindness, and being widely respected, those are so vague.

[2618] Well, I mean, you know, different nationalities have different personalities, you know, different races have different ways of dealing with things.

[2619] And what may be considered offensive to one is not to the other, you know, or likable to me is not likable to you.

[2620] For sure.

[2621] But look at it says here, Asian Americans scored higher than applicants of any other racial or ethnic group on other admissions measures like test scores, grades, and, extracurricular activities, but the student's personal rating significantly dragged down their admissions chances.

[2622] Wow, that's weird, man. That's, I mean, I guess you'd have to talk to someone from Harvard and get them drunk and say, what's really going on?

[2623] Why do you have this likability, courage, kindness, and being wildly respective?

[2624] And what is a positive personality?

[2625] You have to be positive?

[2626] What if you're like, God damn it, I suck, but you work really hard?

[2627] Like, that's a negative personality, but, you know, Like you're, maybe you have a negative opinion of yourself, but you work really hard.

[2628] Maybe that's why you work hard because you don't think of yourself.

[2629] It's weird, man. Harvard's admission staff testified they did not believe that different racial groups have better personal qualities than others.

[2630] But nevertheless, Asian applicants as a racial group received consistently weaker personal scores over the period surveyed and Harvard admissions officers rated Asian Americans with the worst personal qualities of any racial group.

[2631] African Americans on the other hand consistently scored the low the lowest on academic rating but the highest on the personal rating but you know what personal rating that like makes me think about like that whole the Chinese social score system oh yeah yeah yeah yeah I don't that I don't like that that's a very weird thing because remember what we're talking about earlier about being woke right right now things that you and I think are completely completely acceptable, like you seeing a black lady with a Chinese guy in the audience and immediately going, wow, look at you breaking boundaries.

[2632] Like, that's the kind of shit that you would do.

[2633] That's not racist.

[2634] It's racial.

[2635] You're making humor that brings everybody together and gets everybody to laugh at the differences that we have.

[2636] But if someone didn't know you, they would look at you and say, oh, he's racist.

[2637] And what he's doing is racist comedy.

[2638] And this is what people like to do today.

[2639] Right.

[2640] So you would get a lower...

[2641] between racial and racist anymore.

[2642] They don't know what the difference is.

[2643] They don't know what talking shit is, which is why Shane Gillis got kicked off Saturday Night Live.

[2644] Right.

[2645] He's not a racist.

[2646] He's talking shit.

[2647] When you talk shit, especially when comics get together and talk shit, we say silly things.

[2648] We don't mean it, you know?

[2649] We say silly things about ourselves, about our moms, about our family, about everything.

[2650] It doesn't mean we're racists.

[2651] Like, this is why it's so confusing.

[2652] People are looking to quote mine, or they're looking to, like, especially with someone like me who's on a podcast for, Thousands and thousands and thousands of hours.

[2653] You can find some dumb shit in there.

[2654] If you want to pretend that that's me, well, that's on you.

[2655] Because, you know, that's, you're playing a little game there.

[2656] Well, it says more about them than it says about you.

[2657] But it's also an effective game if people aren't paying attention because a lot of people don't want to listen.

[2658] They don't have the time.

[2659] So if they look at a short snippet or they take things out of context, they can just decide, oh, Russell Peters is a piece of shit.

[2660] Instead of how I know you, you're a lovely guy, you're fun, you're a great guy to hang out with you know it I um fuck I lost my words carry on but I was just saying this social score thing that they're doing in China is dangerous because what it does is it makes you follow this trend it makes you keep along with whatever is acceptable currently and you you lose your ability to think outside the lines or express yourself in any controversial way because you'll lose social score the problem is that people have forgotten how to react naturally anymore so they wait to be told how to how to how to frame things right you know so you're immediately your immediate reaction to certain things may be your genuine being and then somebody will go oh no that's not right because blah blah blah and then you go oh yeah you're right I'm wrong exactly and you're like no you're not wrong you were behaving like a human being that you are right and you and you you processed it the way you were supposed to process it but because it doesn't fit to this person's ideology that then now you're wrong.

[2661] And so people are afraid to be natural.

[2662] They're waiting to be told how to behave now.

[2663] Yes.

[2664] Is this okay?

[2665] Am I allowed to do that?

[2666] And I'm like, why wouldn't you be?

[2667] You've lost your, basically not, you've lost your free will.

[2668] They're scared to be ostracized.

[2669] Yeah.

[2670] That's a big thing today.

[2671] You're scared to be on the out group, you know?

[2672] And sometimes it makes people say completely irrational things.

[2673] And they hope that by saying these irrational things are going to be accepted.

[2674] It's fucking weird.

[2675] It's weird, man. It's weird.

[2676] It's a weird time.

[2677] It's like one of the weirdest times we've ever had in terms of communication because it takes real courage to actually speak your mind, especially if you're on social media because you will get attacked.

[2678] You'll get attacked regardless.

[2679] Regardless, whether you're right or wrong.

[2680] Say the most positive thing and you get, you get attacked.

[2681] Someone will find a reason why you're a piece of shit.

[2682] Yeah.

[2683] Yeah.

[2684] But that's because that's just how they viewed you to begin with.

[2685] Exactly.

[2686] Exactly.

[2687] Exactly.

[2688] What about doing a show?

[2689] I was thinking about this.

[2690] This has completely nothing to do with anything, but where everybody did mushrooms before the show and the audience is all on mushrooms.

[2691] It's a good idea.

[2692] So you like - But you have to regulate the dose.

[2693] Well, no, no. You have to like get a psychological examination of the people that are involved.

[2694] Because if someone has like borderline schizophrenia.

[2695] Right.

[2696] And then you trip them over the deep end.

[2697] Right, right, right.

[2698] Because we know people that have gone, right?

[2699] You and I both know people.

[2700] that have like taken pot edibles and maybe Joey Diaz has done that to a few people in their day and they break or you know mushrooms can do the same thing like some people are psychologically fragile true some we're living in a world of it and maybe some of them through no fault of their own you know they're just they have a weird chemical composition and their brain doesn't work that good yeah I think like a a dosage amount that you give them And then you put on, like, the newer comics at the beginning while they're, while the, while the trip's setting in.

[2701] Right.

[2702] And then you get to your headliners.

[2703] And by the time they get, like, you and Dave or something get on and the audience is right at the right place for everybody.

[2704] Yeah, but the thing is everybody's right place is a different thing.

[2705] It's like some people are dealing with demons.

[2706] And then that, that mushroom hits them, and the mushroom is like, you're an asshole to your mother.

[2707] Like, no!

[2708] You know, like, some people are dealing with demons.

[2709] You know, some people like, you bullied your body.

[2710] brother when you were growing up i did it's what i did fuck how can i fix it it's whatever was subconsciously you were repressing i guess yeah man um i do think that there's some real benefit in psychedelics for people and i've harped on that so many times and i avoid saying it because i said it i've said it too much you've said it a lot you've you've got me involved in that world now look at this shirt i know tell me about your shirt that's uh red light holland that's the company i'm working with you're working with a mushroom company i'm working with a mushroom company i'm working with a mushroom company We're the truffle company.

[2711] So how illegal is that stuff on a one to ten?

[2712] Well, here's the problem.

[2713] So we're illegal in Holland, and the problem is they haven't been able to get out to Holland to try the product, and I can't try it in North America's, but it's illegal here.

[2714] But it's not illegal in Portland.

[2715] Portland is legalized basically everything, including Antifa.

[2716] Yeah.

[2717] They've queuing on everything.

[2718] Give it to them.

[2719] They want it all.

[2720] Yeah, you can threaten the mayor.

[2721] Yeah.

[2722] You could burn the fucking courthouse.

[2723] They're wild up there.

[2724] I brought it up to the whole team.

[2725] I was like, why aren't we in Portland?

[2726] And they're like, well, we've got to get, it's more than just getting approved in Portland.

[2727] You've got to get the whole FDA involved and everything is.

[2728] This is the biggest, the biggest door opening, the biggest change in our society will be when they legalize psychedelics because it will dissolve so many of our preconceived notions about what government is, what life is, what civilization is, what community is, what love is, what insecurity is.

[2729] There's so much of what we see every day when you're dealing with people that is based on insecurity and this and fear.

[2730] And one of the best methods for alleviating insecurity and fear are psychedelics.

[2731] And it could definitely help.

[2732] We have a huge mental illness problem in this country that I really feel that this stuff could really help.

[2733] I think microdosing is the way for a lot of folks.

[2734] That's what it's for, yeah.

[2735] This is a microdosing company, so, I mean, I think it would be great for all the vets and all the people.

[2736] I mean, not saying, we should, you know, pump it to the homeless people, but a lot of the homeless people have their own issues that they're dealing with, and it might straighten them out.

[2737] It may not.

[2738] We don't know, but.

[2739] Well, you know that MAPS is doing some work with psychedelics and veterans, with PTSD, using MDMA, using ecstasy essentially, pure, and they've got really some really promising results.

[2740] and they continue to work on that.

[2741] And I think that's amazing that they're doing that and that, you know, they've gotten these studies funded and they've gone through and they hold real promise.

[2742] And so I will hope that eventually we come to our senses and we recognize that there's a lot of things out there that can help people.

[2743] And it's not, the thing is that these are human issues.

[2744] Like they're not, it's not that clear.

[2745] It's like you can't, they're not, then they don't work on everybody because everybody's different and it's not going to be perfect with everybody so everybody's different so if we do have things that are beneficial to a certain percentage of the population they're not going to be beneficial to everybody and some people are going to have real problems with them when we have to accept that that is a part of being a person and that this is the same thing with alcohol I think alcohol should be legal but some people are alcoholics some people can't drink at all like you and I just had a drink yeah And we're fine.

[2746] We're fine.

[2747] But some people cannot do that and they go off the deep end.

[2748] Yeah, some friends like that.

[2749] Yeah.

[2750] We both do, you know?

[2751] We both do.

[2752] And I can't comprehend it because I don't have an addictive nature.

[2753] So for me, it's like, well, why can't you just have the one or just not have any then?

[2754] And they're like, you don't understand it.

[2755] And I'm like, I don't understand it.

[2756] Man, it's genes.

[2757] You know, that's a lot of it.

[2758] There's a lot of it is genes.

[2759] You know, I have friends that are alcoholics and their whole family's alcoholics.

[2760] And I don't think that's a coincidence.

[2761] Yeah.

[2762] I don't get it because I can have.

[2763] a drink and not drink for like I've done I do sober October every year I don't drink for a whole month and it's it's not to get in on it this year let's do it yeah let's do it Russell it's only a few months away let's do it's a five months away what are we at we're in May June July August September October yeah yeah it's not that hard it's fun and the good thing is you do other things like usually we have some sort of a challenge that we do or you know you'll work out every day or something like that's what I did last time I worked out every day it's nice I look at two Tom and Bert.

[2833] Yeah, you know, in the 70s in Canada, especially where I was living, it's to be an Indian kid was a rough place to be.

[2834] You were very low in the totem pole there.

[2835] And you're expendable to them so that you don't equal anything.

[2836] So when I hear about things, and I'm like, I know what it actually looks and feels like, but I didn't harbor that to make me this bitter person where I fucking hate white people, you know what I mean?

[2837] I was like, I understood even at that small age that I was like, you know what?

[2838] I'm pretty sure this will turn around, you know what I mean?

[2839] And it did, you know, I got lucky.

[2840] I kept the right outlook.

[2841] I didn't demonize an entire bunch of people.

[2842] I understood that there's this way, there's a process in life, and, you know, this is the way it's going to work out for me. Yeah, it's horrible to see people getting attacked for just some shit.

[2843] They have zero control over it all.

[2844] Yeah.

[2845] That's what was happening.

[2846] And I'm talking from like four years old.

[2847] Four till I was about 15 It was bad And those are very formative years For a human Do you think that that's what made you a comic?

[2848] That's definitely what Made my comedy the way it is Why I'm so kind of Not obsessed with But why I'm constantly talking about race And culture and stuff Yeah I'm trying to figure out I'm trying to tie us all together As opposed to set By you know To the average look or onlooker it's going to look like I'm separating people, but really I'm not.

[2849] Right.

[2850] I think where we're heading right now, we've ended up in a place now where we went from a melting pot to separation again.

[2851] I think it's going to come back.

[2852] It has to.

[2853] I really do.

[2854] I think there's plenty of people like you and me that think that we could pull it all together.

[2855] We just have to agree upon it.

[2856] You know, like what Chappelle was saying, like this kindness conspiracy, we've got to kind of agree upon that.

[2857] We really do.

[2858] We really do.

[2859] And it can be done.

[2860] It really can.

[2861] It's not that hard.

[2862] It doesn't cost any money.

[2863] Everybody can participate.

[2864] We could all do better because of it.

[2865] It's something that's right for everybody.

[2866] When you see someone who's got a fucking KKK outfit on or something, like, that's a sad, sad person.

[2867] That's sad.

[2868] They're looking to belong.

[2869] They're looking to be a part of a group.

[2870] They want to be part of a group.

[2871] They're sad.

[2872] And they really don't know anything about anything else.

[2873] And so they really don't know anything about anything.

[2874] and now they're learning about something, but it's the wrong thing.

[2875] Right.

[2876] They've found a tribe, but it's a shit tribe.

[2877] Yeah.

[2878] And then a lot of them come out of it.

[2879] Yeah.

[2880] There's a high recovery rate from that, I think.

[2881] You know who Christian Piccolini is?

[2882] No. He's a guy who was in like a white power group and then came out of it and now helps people get out of those hate groups.

[2883] Yeah.

[2884] And, you know, does a lot of work on it.

[2885] Especially with such an Italian.

[2886] name.

[2887] I know, right?

[2888] Such a weird thing to do.

[2889] I don't know his story exactly.

[2890] I heard him on a podcast before, but there's, you know, it's like Daryl Davis, Darryl Davis.

[2891] Got the black guy that I heard from?

[2892] Yes, he's a gentleman that was on my podcast.

[2893] He's a, he's a brilliant blues musician, and he has personally himself converted over 200 people to quit the KKK and neo -Nazi organizations.

[2894] Yeah, and came on the podcast and explained how it all happened that he was on the road and he was in a club doing music and he sat down with this guy and the guy was like, I never had a drink with a black guy before.

[2895] And he was like, what?

[2896] And he goes, yeah, I'm in the clan.

[2897] And the guy was like, what are the fuck are you talking about?

[2898] And he became this guy's friend.

[2899] And just said, hey, you know, next time I'm in town, looked me up and they hung out together they had dinner together a couple months later the guy handed him his outfit he's a fucking grand dragon or whatever it is and he said I can't do this anymore he's like I realize like I'm wrong I've been told this I lived by this and it's wrong and now I know because of you and Darrell has done that with more than 200 people now he's a big dude too right yeah yeah but he's a sweetheart of a guy and a great musician and that's what he started out as he didn't he's not like this guy is like I'm gonna be an activist yeah just this real sweet open -minded guy but also very intelligent very articulate and when you're talking to the guy you can't pretend he's not smart right so like for a lot of these guys they're like shit you know like when you're talking to someone who you've decided or it's been taught to you that they're an inferior and then you're talking to him and you realize like this guy's brilliant he's making sense he's calm he's reasonable i'm wrong yeah it's uh that's you know that's i think that's anything in life you got a somebody's coming at you one way you're gonna have to come at them another way yeah like two angry people aren't gonna and i think that's what happened in america last year with the with the whole election you know right both sides were so extreme i think you're hated one they both hated it was both full of hate yeah yeah and that's why you're not gonna because people's back get up against the wall, and they want to be wrong and strong at that point.

[2900] Wrong and strong.

[2901] The old wrong and strong.

[2902] Yeah.

[2903] Yeah, it's a challenging time, but that doesn't mean that we're not going to pull out of it.

[2904] I think we're going to pull out of it.

[2905] I do.

[2906] I mean, we have to.

[2907] Yeah, we have to.

[2908] It's not a realistic look at life.

[2909] Yeah, we can pull it through.

[2910] We can.

[2911] We came this far.

[2912] Yeah.

[2913] I mean, come on, man. We came this far, and then we stopped and we moved backwards a little bit.

[2914] Yeah.

[2915] It's a stall.

[2916] But this is the way it works with progress.

[2917] Like, progress comes in hills and valleys.

[2918] And I think our next hill will be higher than the hill that we previously ascended.

[2919] I think that's totally a possible scenario.

[2920] Or we can descend into madness and, you know, China can take over.

[2921] China and the Russians.

[2922] It's possible, too, man. I mean, if China is controlling China, just stop and think of that.

[2923] Like, oh, that's not possible.

[2924] Is China controlling China?

[2925] Yeah.

[2926] Well, China is in control of a billion people.

[2927] 1 .4.

[2928] Yeah.

[2929] Or is a 1 .5.

[2930] Whatever it is.

[2931] A billion and attack on another 300 ,000.

[2932] It's not that big of an accomplishment.

[2933] I think it's...

[2934] You know?

[2935] That's 300 million, isn't it?

[2936] The 1 .3?

[2937] The 5.

[2938] 1 .5 is a 500 million, isn't it?

[2939] Yes.

[2940] If they really have 1 .5, is that what they...

[2941] How many people are in China?

[2942] 1 .4 or 1 .5?

[2943] Let's find out.

[2944] India has 1 .3.

[2945] Do they really?

[2946] Yeah.

[2947] India and China make up, what is it, more than half the Earth's population or something?

[2948] 1 .4.

[2949] Or a good third of it?

[2950] So China has more than a billion people more than the United States, and they're in control of those people.

[2951] Yeah.

[2952] They got it locked down.

[2953] Yeah.

[2954] They're on top of it.

[2955] For them to tack on.

[2956] It's kind of amazing that America is, like, the thought leader and the global superpower when we have only 300 and what do we have?

[2957] 330?

[2958] What's America have?

[2959] Would you guess?

[2960] I figured it was around 300 and something.

[2961] It keeps growing for whatever reason.

[2962] I didn't know.

[2963] We're number three behind China and India.

[2964] Really?

[2965] Population -wise?

[2966] Yeah.

[2967] What do we have?

[2968] It's a huge drop -off.

[2969] What do we have?

[2970] 331.

[2971] 331.

[2972] Wow.

[2973] Oh, yeah.

[2974] Look at that.

[2975] Come on India.

[2976] Or come in India.

[2977] Jesus Christ.

[2978] It's a major drop off.

[2979] Yeah, 2 billion.

[2980] You know, if Pakistan had stayed with India, we would have the largest population in the world.

[2981] Wow.

[2982] Because they got 220 million.

[2983] That's a big drop off, too.

[2984] Pakistan to India.

[2985] That's pretty crazy.

[2986] Well, I mean, because it's a, you know, it was all one place at one point.

[2987] So we could have 1 .6 billion people or something.

[2988] So what happened?

[2989] I don't really understand.

[2990] and the politics behind it.

[2991] I know the British had something to do with it.

[2992] Who fucked up?

[2993] British?

[2994] They fucked up a lot of things.

[2995] They did that.

[2996] They kind of did their thing and then bounced on everybody.

[2997] They fucked up a lot of things, didn't they?

[2998] They used to run shit.

[2999] How many people were in England?

[3000] Pull that up.

[3001] The UK.

[3002] 67 .8.

[3003] That ain't shit.

[3004] Yeah.

[3005] That's fucking California.

[3006] And how many of them are non, you know.

[3007] They used to run everything.

[3008] Italy, 60 million.

[3009] Tanzania, just Tanzania I was breaking down the UK It's multiple countries Wow South Korea Make dope phones Only 51 million people Kind of wild man You keep going down the line Did you see this thing where There was a gigantic Data leak Like 150 million iPhones got hacked And they didn't tell anybody about it They decided to keep it to themselves Didn't Snowden mention why that happened I don't know He said something about why the iPhone is not the ideal phone for, it's the ideal phone for hackers.

[3010] Really?

[3011] That's what they said.

[3012] Because it's only like one code you have to figure out.

[3013] Oh, right.

[3014] And then the Android's have so many different systems running in them.

[3015] It's harder to hack them.

[3016] In that respect.

[3017] Yeah.

[3018] But the iPhone is a little bit more secure and it's harder to get things into the app, the app store.

[3019] Because there was a thing with Android phones recently.

[3020] I have both.

[3021] And I use iPhone more often, but I do like Android's too.

[3022] They have, there's some positive qualities, but one of the things that they did was they had an app in the Google Play Store, I guess, or I don't know.

[3023] Maybe you had to get it from a third party, but the app would update your operating system kind of automatically, but it didn't really.

[3024] What it did is just fucking, it hacked into your phone and like sent all your data to someone like credit card information or what have you.

[3025] I don't know what it's at, but.

[3026] You know, I don't understand the Android operating system, but they do have some cool fucking phones.

[3027] Oh, the Galaxy S -21 Ultra, I have that one.

[3028] It's the shit.

[3029] You know what I want?

[3030] I want that Motorola flip.

[3031] I saw a dude with it.

[3032] And they brought the razor back as an end as a shit.

[3033] It looks cool as fuck.

[3034] You know what's cool?

[3035] Hanging up on people.

[3036] Snap.

[3037] Cuck out.

[3038] Yeah.

[3039] It's like the old school.

[3040] Fuck that motherfucker.

[3041] Snap.

[3042] Now you're searching and slapping your screen.

[3043] Yeah.

[3044] Yeah, my friend Gordon has the one that opens up like a tablet.

[3045] Yeah, that one's really cool too.

[3046] It looks pretty dope.

[3047] It's dope because there's no line.

[3048] Yeah, it's pretty sick because as a regular phone, it's just a chunky regular phone, and it's kind of thin so you could text with one hand pretty good, especially if you have smaller hands.

[3049] And then when you open it up, I mean, you basically have a small iPad.

[3050] So if you want to watch like YouTube videos or some shit or browse, and it's 5G.

[3051] There's all these little fake phones showing up on the internet.

[3052] Like, what do you think of this?

[3053] And it was some cool drop -down phone that had Apple iOS on it.

[3054] And there's some, apparently there's some Android phone out there that can use Apple iOS on it.

[3055] Really?

[3056] Yeah.

[3057] I wouldn't trust that motherfucker.

[3058] No, no. But that does seem like a cool option to have.

[3059] Apple's done an amazing job of locking down that ecosystem.

[3060] They did such an amazing job.

[3061] I mean, they locked it down.

[3062] If you don't want that green bubble, you have to go through Apple.

[3063] Yeah.

[3064] But the green bubble is annoying to me. It could be an issue.

[3065] And then if you send video, it comes in super low resolution.

[3066] On the green bubble?

[3067] Yeah.

[3068] If you have an Android phone and you try to send someone a big ass video.

[3069] It's annoying.

[3070] Yeah, you don't get that I message thing.

[3071] No. You don't get the confirmation.

[3072] You don't know what quality they got.

[3073] You got to go, do you have WhatsApp?

[3074] Can I send it to you on WhatsApp?

[3075] Yeah.

[3076] The fuck out of here with that.

[3077] Yeah.

[3078] Yeah, and you have to send it SMS.

[3079] Like, pictures are lower resolution, but videos are a real problem.

[3080] And you can't air drop.

[3081] No, I like air dropping.

[3082] Airdropping.

[3083] Big fan of air dropping.

[3084] It's the shit.

[3085] Yeah.

[3086] Just that alone.

[3087] That kind of integration, and for me, as a guy who always takes notes on his phone, that's big.

[3088] Because I want, like, ideas for bits.

[3089] I want to be able to pull up my notes that I write on my laptop, and I want them to go straight to my phone.

[3090] Yep.

[3091] Same and vice versa.

[3092] Yeah.

[3093] I don't want to think about it.

[3094] I'm a big fan of the AirDrop.

[3095] They got us locked in, though.

[3096] And then they take everything away and they make you buy it separately.

[3097] And they're using Chinese slave labor.

[3098] Son of a. I don't see the iPhone hack info story.

[3099] But as you were saying that...

[3100] Oh, okay.

[3101] I didn't miss the old part.

[3102] Yeah, it was a leak from 2015 they had hacked into...

[3103] It was a recent story that Apple...

[3104] had decided not to share the information.

[3105] So 150 million phones were potentially compromised, and they decided not to share the information.

[3106] It's just coming out probably because of that trial they're involved with, I think.

[3107] Uh -huh.

[3108] See, the apps, when they first started coming out, they were coming up with some really cool ideas.

[3109] There was one app you could get.

[3110] Here it is.

[3111] Biggest iPhone hack ever.

[3112] Fortnite trial exposes emails, detailing the X -Code ghost malware.

[3113] Okay, because Epic Games and Apple is in the middle of a giant trial right now.

[3114] Because I think Apple wants a piece.

[3115] So, like, if you have Epic on, if you have Fortnite on your phone, Apple gets like 30 % or some shit.

[3116] And so there's like some thing where Fortnite decided to not have their thing on the app store because they want all the money.

[3117] Am I fucking that up?

[3118] You're pretty accurate.

[3119] Yeah, yeah.

[3120] All right.

[3121] So here it is.

[3122] In case to slip people's memory.

[3123] In 2015, hackers successfully crept in a potentially dangerous X -code ghost malware to thousands of iPhone and iPad apps.

[3124] Apple during that time has been privy to the details of the attack to add the company on their part said that they notified hundreds of millions of victims.

[3125] Researchers also estimate that about 4 ,000 apps are infected.

[3126] What does that mean, though?

[3127] On their part, but what I heard was that they didn't notify people.

[3128] Google, Google, Google, whatever that malware is, and then Google Apple chose not to Xcode ghost.

[3129] Apple chose not to, what would be the word, alert?

[3130] Inform.

[3131] Yeah, inform.

[3132] Apple chose not to inform.

[3133] Hmm.

[3134] I can't see.

[3135] So it was an app you would get, and then it would...

[3136] So I'm not an app guy, so I'm okay.

[3137] Is the epic game shut?

[3138] There it goes.

[3139] Apple did not inform victims about the attack.

[3140] There it is.

[3141] Apple kept mum.

[3142] Go to the first one.

[3143] Hack read.

[3144] Apple News.

[3145] There it is.

[3146] And this is on Apple News.

[3147] Whoops.

[3148] No, it's Apple News.

[3149] It is Apple News.

[3150] March...

[3151] Pop -p -p -pah -pah report.

[3152] It must be noted that X -Code is Apple's app to...

[3153] development tool.

[3154] Back then, it was reported that Apple stopped the attack quickly.

[3155] However, according to a new report, emails presented during the Epic Games versus Apple court proceedings have revealed startling new details.

[3156] Here it is, on the particular attack.

[3157] It turns out that nearly 128 million iOS users downloaded the apps containing the X -Code ghost malware, reportedly Apple kept this malware attack a secret and didn't share the impacts full details.

[3158] That's what I'd read.

[3159] I thought you were getting into the thing that happened like this week.

[3160] What happened?

[3161] Some pipeline.

[3162] Oh, I was going to get to that too.

[3163] People are, there's a gas shortage in multiple states right now.

[3164] Yeah, there's a real issue with gas apparently.

[3165] Really?

[3166] That sounds way worse.

[3167] Well, we have electric cars.

[3168] Hey, Tesla.

[3169] Do you remember there was this one app?

[3170] I don't know if you know about this.

[3171] It was for single guys, and you would put on your phone.

[3172] And if you added a club, you would give the girl, your phone to put her number in and while she was typing in her number would take pictures of her so you would know what the girl looked like really yeah why not just take a picture over well because you know you know you're gonna be like you know whatever you didn't want to be like you know you want to make it look like you're gonna remember her but he would like as you're as she's putting it is taking pictures of her face so you knew exactly just lazy dudes you're scared to ask for a picture yeah this was gonna get someone's photograph or get some phone number you think about 10 years ago this app was oh okay I didn't know if you're gonna get someone's photograph Shouldn't you be able to get a picture of them?

[3173] Yeah, we'll get their number.

[3174] You should be like, hey, come and take a picture?

[3175] It's a big deal.

[3176] Or they'd be like, hey, text me. All right, here, put your number, and then click, click, click, you know.

[3177] People today.

[3178] It's so weird with the dating apps and all the shit that people are doing today.

[3179] It's like the world is such a different place.

[3180] Like, as communication is becoming more frivolous and, like, easier to just, like, talk shit to people.

[3181] It's also probably easier to hook up with people.

[3182] Oh, yeah.

[3183] Like kids today On these dating acts Just swiping left And swiping right Yeah A lot of people are meeting their mate That way Interesting I don't know that you want to meet Your mate that way Why not?

[3184] She's the perfect girl What do you give a fuck You're trying to meet girls that way Selfish asshole How about that?

[3185] How about he wants to meet people that way He doesn't want them to meet him that way Huh Not me But what if you're out there I was never an app guy for that I would rather just meet people in person You're actually a famous comedian I don't know if you know about that I've never heard about it.

[3186] Yeah, it's a little bit easier for you to meet people.

[3187] True.

[3188] But if you're a guy who's working all day and you really don't have time to go out there and mingle, but you have, like, shared attributes, like there's something about, you know, your likes and dislikes and the things you're interested in, shared interests.

[3189] That depends on what app you're on.

[3190] And there's the hookup apps that are strictly for that.

[3191] What are the hookup apps?

[3192] I think they're like, you know, your basic, your Tinder's, your Bumbles, the Let'sFuck .com.

[3193] I don't think Bumble is that.

[3194] I think Bumble is like...

[3195] Wasn't Bumble more hookup than Tinder?

[3196] It's got other, you can find BFF on there and there's also like a business bumble where you can like find people to work with, I think is what that's for.

[3197] So BFAP is you looking for friends.

[3198] For that people to hang out with instead of like I am working on an app.

[3199] Are you?

[3200] I'm working with this kid.

[3201] I came up with it.

[3202] I said it as a joke and he goes that'd be a really good app.

[3203] And so.

[3204] You don't want to say what it is?

[3205] Keep it in mom.

[3206] You don't want anybody stealing it.

[3207] Yeah, I know.

[3208] I don't know where we're at with.

[3209] I don't know if it's locked down yet.

[3210] Don't say anything.

[3211] Does that have to do with mushrooms?

[3212] No, no, no, it does not.

[3213] it's a it's a hook Not a hookup app It's a Don't say it's a romance Keep it together Oh romance Look at you Romantic Trying to Yeah But it started off as a joke And then he's like It's a really good idea It's a young kid He's really smart If people meet And they get along Who gives the fuck how they meet True Whether it's an app Or Choking each other You know Yeah You know You meet some girl in Jitsu And she gets you in a triangle And you're like She's my new favorite Yeah She's my bestie You let her get you in triangle Yeah Yeah, do you think you date a girl can kick your ass?

[3214] Yeah, I don't have a problem with that.

[3215] Really?

[3216] I don't have an ego about that.

[3217] Look at you.

[3218] You dated some Brazilian lady, just fucking ragdolls you, arm bars you all the time?

[3219] Not dated, but she gets mad at you?

[3220] I've met some.

[3221] But would you?

[3222] Yeah, why not?

[3223] If you were a single fellow, I know you're happy right now, but what if you weren't?

[3224] I like empowered women.

[3225] I dig that, though.

[3226] There's empowered, and there's also a girl who'd kill you with her bare hands.

[3227] I'm not interested in that.

[3228] I mean, you know, she's not going to.

[3229] Maybe she will.

[3230] You know, then she's equally as dangerous as you are.

[3231] Maybe you change your opinion about guns.

[3232] Wait a minute.

[3233] If you're living with some gout.

[3234] This bitch has a black belt.

[3235] I need a gun.

[3236] You tough enough to stop a bullet.

[3237] Could you imagine if you're living with a girl who fuck you up?

[3238] That would be annoying, you know?

[3239] Do you think you live with a girl?

[3240] Stronger than you?

[3241] If you're like, could you just open this pickle jar, please?

[3242] You'd look away.

[3243] But you don't want her to be physically strong.

[3244] than you just want her to be more talented than you are in that world.

[3245] Like a talented fighter, but you want to be physically stronger.

[3246] Do you think you date a power lifter?

[3247] I don't think.

[3248] It wouldn't be my speed.

[3249] No?

[3250] That's not my speed.

[3251] I like him a little bit more feminine.

[3252] What if she's really feminine, but strong as fuck?

[3253] Hey man, then that's what it is.

[3254] That's what you got.

[3255] That's what you got.

[3256] Yeah, you never know until you meet them, right?

[3257] Yeah.

[3258] You might meet her.

[3259] You know, I never thought I, you know, without saying too much, but I've connected with some ladies in the MMA world.

[3260] Oh, really?

[3261] And at the end of the day, they're just women.

[3262] They just want to be treated like women.

[3263] Yeah, most of them.

[3264] Some of them don't.

[3265] Some of them want to beat your ass.

[3266] I want a leg kick you.

[3267] Yeah, that's definitely what I don't want.

[3268] That's why I want my legs taken out of me. I know.

[3269] I mean, if you were dating a competitive fighter, male or female, like the stress of that job is so fucking different than, And there's like cop, firefighter, like there's soldier cop, firefighter, MMA fighter.

[3270] Right.

[3271] Right.

[3272] I would imagine like that's kind of like what, yeah, that's kind of the hierarchy of like stressful jobs, like insanely intensely.

[3273] It's like soldier is probably the highest stress.

[3274] Yes.

[3275] And then cop is, you know, a lot of times you're right there with it.

[3276] Firefighter.

[3277] You could die in a fight.

[3278] Nope.

[3279] Fire.

[3280] And then M .A fighter.

[3281] They're like, you know, every X amount of months, you have this insane fucking thing that you do where you get in a cage, you put a mouthpiece on, and you try to knock someone unconscious.

[3282] I teach my girl little jiu -jitsu moves, and she tries to do them to me every now and then.

[3283] And I'm like, hey, stop that shit.

[3284] Hey.

[3285] Yeah, I'll be, you know, I'll be on top of it.

[3286] Hey, is this, and I'm, she put me, frame me up.

[3287] Yeah, a little zikil, and I'm like, and then I'll still, I'll be like, no, you don't have it.

[3288] I keep fucking up by telling me, you don't have it, And then she keeps working it, and I'm like, there it is.

[3289] You ever see that guy Alexei Olenek, who lets guys mount him, and he Ezekiel's him from the bottom?

[3290] Oh, no. You never seen him?

[3291] No. I think he's tapped out, well, at least one guy in the UFC, I think it's been more than one.

[3292] But he's got this crazy move.

[3293] He's Zeckels you from the top position?

[3294] From the bottom.

[3295] From the bottom.

[3296] From the bottom.

[3297] It's madness.

[3298] He just has this, he's basically doing a rear naked choke from the front.

[3299] What, you're on top of him.

[3300] But he doesn't have any leg control.

[3301] He's not squeezing you with his bottom.

[3302] he just has this nasty constriction and he lets guys mount so like what happens is like he's like making it like he's got his arm wrapped around you he's making his like he's stopping the mount and you think he's that you're passing and you're mounting him and right as you do that you're thinking about mounting him and he fucking slides it in watch this watch how he does this so he's got a hold of it right here but right now he's just kind of protecting him and he lets the guy mount him and then boom he sinks it in looking in there yeah look how he does it as soon as he sinks in it you're fucked man you're fucked because it's so tight and he's got his his his arm like deep in the pocket of the the bicep just like a rear naked choke madness right look at him that's wild look how sad that dude is he's so sad he's so sad he was about to go to sleep that's why yeah he has to get you dude it's over you're you tapped he's like I can't what happened where's he from Russia, bro Hard people So show that again Is it a Sambo move That he's doing Well it's Azecal's just a standard submission move But to do it like this It's crazy But go for the transition Because it's like So this is what happens It's like He's in you're inside control And you think you're doing okay Right And he just kind of holds his head But then as soon as the guy mouths Then he slides it in front of his face Oh yeah He's like oh you fucked up son I wanted you to do that Yeah, and he gets it in perfect.

[3303] I don't know anybody else.

[3304] No, I have not.

[3305] I've done it from the top, but I don't know anybody else who's done that like that, especially in not only in an MMA fight, but also with gloves.

[3306] Have you ever tried grappling with gloves on?

[3307] It's awful, right?

[3308] It's hard.

[3309] Yeah.

[3310] I'm really impressed when they lock on guys with gloves on my way.

[3311] Oh, that's right.

[3312] He did it on this guy, too.

[3313] So this guy takes him down.

[3314] This guy takes him down.

[3315] Same thing.

[3316] Look, he doesn't have it in here.

[3317] He allows you to mount, and then as you mount, he slides it in.

[3318] Oh, no, no, he's in half -card here.

[3319] He got it from Half -Gard, but the same thing.

[3320] And they all look, they all have the same look on their face.

[3321] They all have the same look on their face.

[3322] It's such a sneaky move.

[3323] But Only Nick has that crazy grappler strength.

[3324] What wait is he?

[3325] Heavyweight.

[3326] That Mark Hunt?

[3327] Yeah, he fought Mark Hunt.

[3328] He got, I think he got Mark Hunt in an arm bar or something.

[3329] I think, yeah, that's it, yeah.

[3330] Damn.

[3331] Yeah, he's a beast.

[3332] He's getting a title shot soon?

[3333] No, he's lost to a lot of.

[3334] of guys um but he's gotta be a top 15 heavyweight what's uh only nick ranked i would imagine he's ranked like 11 12 somewhere in that range he's uh older he's in his 40s you know it's probably not going to get a title shot that sucks but he's a tough guy yeah how old is he's got like 60 plus mima fights too jesus christ does it say how old he is oh it's ranking he's ranked 15 yeah see i know my shit.

[3335] I'm a professional.

[3336] Believe it or not.

[3337] You know, I do miss UFC without you when you're not, um, uh, commentating.

[3338] Well, good news.

[3339] This weekend I'll be there.

[3340] Who's fighting this weekend?

[3341] Well, we have the lightweight championship of the world, uh, Charles Oliveira versus Michael Chandler.

[3342] Pull up the card so you can see the whole card.

[3343] He's 43, only Nick.

[3344] Olivera versus Chandler.

[3345] I'm a little upset at Michael Chandler's six -pack.

[3346] Makes me feel like a fat fuck.

[3347] Let's take a look at the fight car there.

[3348] And Oliveira is a beast.

[3349] That's a great fight.

[3350] Tony Ferguson versus Benile Darius.

[3351] Love it.

[3352] Caitlin Chukagian versus Viviana Arrujo.

[3353] Shane Burgos versus Edson Barbosa.

[3354] That's a fucking barn burner.

[3355] Wow.

[3356] At 145.

[3357] He's featherweight now.

[3358] Matt Schnell, Hogiero, Botorin.

[3359] And who else?

[3360] This is in the prelim.

[3361] Jacare.

[3362] Andre Munoz.

[3363] That's the free fight.

[3364] Lando Vanada, Groovy Lando, and Mike Grundy.

[3365] Is she related to the other Shepchenko?

[3366] Yeah, Antonina, excuse me, is her sister, Andrea Lee, Andrea KGB Lee, another Russian, Jordan Wright, Jamie Pickett.

[3367] Isn't that Michael Page knockout the other day?

[3368] Dude, Michael Page is a beast.

[3369] He's so good.

[3370] He's an interesting cat because he came from the point fighting background.

[3371] You know, he's got such a crazy style that hands down, wide stance, leaps in, you know, really...

[3372] He's the one that got kicked out of the UFC?

[3373] No, no, no. He was never in the UFC.

[3374] Michael Page lost to Douglas Lima for the title in Bellator as a welterweight, and he's elite.

[3375] He's really good, man. He's really fucking good.

[3376] He's talented.

[3377] Dana never tried to recruit him.

[3378] Well, he was over in Bellator already, and they treat him well.

[3379] Look, it's good that there's good fighters over there, man. I think it's really good.

[3380] I think it's important.

[3381] I think it's...

[3382] We need more competition, whether it's PFL or one championship.

[3383] It's real good to have a lot of different organizations with top.

[3384] I like one.

[3385] I like one a lot.

[3386] They're doing great.

[3387] Yeah.

[3388] Yeah, they have grappling now, too.

[3389] You know what's interesting about one?

[3390] They have moitai with little gloves like John Wayne Parr just fought Nikki Holtskin in a moitai bout in a cage.

[3391] And now they're going to do grappling.

[3392] Just submission grappling?

[3393] Just submission grappling.

[3394] Yeah, they signed Gordon Ryan to fight Shinya -Ioki.

[3395] Ooh, Gordon Ryan.

[3396] Wow.

[3397] Yeah.

[3398] So he's over there doing a grappling matchup.

[3399] That's Hensos guy, right, Gordon?

[3400] Yes.

[3401] Well, John Donner, he's, I mean, John Donoher comes from Hensow and John Donah her is the main coach of Gordon Ryan.

[3402] And Gordon Ryan's literally the greatest grappler of all time.

[3403] Yes.

[3404] It's kind of a, it's a showcase more than anything, because Shinya Yoki is also much smaller.

[3405] I mean, it's a mismatch in every way.

[3406] It's a mismatch physically in size.

[3407] Gordon's way bigger.

[3408] It's a mismatch talent -wise.

[3409] Are they not doing it by weight?

[3410] This fight is not.

[3411] I think what it is is nobody wants to get fucked up by Gordon.

[3412] But at least if you're a young, like if you're a lighter guy, you can say, hey, you know, I took a chance.

[3413] He had me by 50 pounds.

[3414] Yeah, and I'm going to try my speed on him.

[3415] Yeah, good luck.

[3416] Good luck.

[3417] Good luck doing anything to Gordon.

[3418] He's a fucking gigantic, amazing grappler who trains every day.

[3419] He, well, he's from New Jersey, but he's, they live in Puerto Rico now.

[3420] Seems to be the place Well they couldn't do any grappling in New York City man They shut down grappling in New York City That's right They had to figure out what to do They had a lot of competitions They had to train for And they were getting shut down Like people were coming to the To the basement where Henzos places And fucking with them And so someone that they know That's their friend in New York City Or in Puerto Rico rather Offered their place to them And so they packed up their shit And they moved to Puerto Rico Danair moved there too right Yep they all did The whole squad But Gary Tonin, Craig Jones, they all moved down there.

[3421] Nikki Rodriguez, I'm hoping they moved to Texas.

[3422] They're talking about doing that.

[3423] That would be the shit.

[3424] I'll help them.

[3425] I'll fucking throw up the bat signal.

[3426] Let's go.

[3427] Yeah, you're the guy.

[3428] You should run for mayor here eventually.

[3429] No. No. I don't want to be a mayor.

[3430] I don't want to be any kind of politician.

[3431] So if you're thinking about it, no. Not interested.

[3432] I'm not interested.

[3433] You feel me?

[3434] I feel you, kid.

[3435] We should get you out of here so you can catch your flight.

[3445] Ooh, she said that?

[3446] You were a little too honest.

[3447] She said, I don't give a fuck.
