Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan experience. TRAINED BY DAY, JOE MY MAN. Hey man, what's up, brother? Well, well, well, if it isn't old horse worm Rogan. I'm glad you're I'm glad you're well, man. Bro, do I have to sue CNN? I don't know. I don't know, do you? They're making [ __ ] up. They keep saying I'm taking horse dewormer. I literally got it from a doctor. It's a American company. Mhm. It's a it they won the Nobel Prize in 2015 for use in human beings. Yeah. And CNN is saying I'm taking horse dewormer. Yeah, what so They must know that the that's a lie. Well, there's a lot of people saying it. Right, but a lot of people can say it. Okay. Like the internet says it, who cares? Sure. But But CNN is saying it. Like Jim Acosta. I meant like other like USA Today, a few other like Yeah, and they're talking
about ivermectin, right? So, what cuz I don't know, I just saw so much news about you. I mean, I would talk to you and then check on you and see if you're all right. And you're like you you you threw the kitchen sink at it, you said, which was stuff that, you know, you took IV drips and was it mono what? Mono Monoclonal antibodies. And then what is monoclonal antibodies? The [ __ ] they gave Trump. Okay. Yeah. And then what so who said or did you already want ivermectin like Well, I had this guy on, Dr. Pierre Kory, and he is uh what is the organization he's from? Frontline cri- COVID Critical Care Workers. He's uh well-established doctors, treated thousands of people with COVID, and they've uh early on in the pandemic, they found some good uh efficacy with uh with with um ivermectin. Frontline 19 Critical Care Alliance. Okay. Yeah.
Um so, I had him on and you know, he had talked to me about it. It's not he's not the only doctor that told me to take it. Multiple doctors told me to take it. It's it's supposed to have What is the exact thing it's supposed to do? There's there's something that I highlighted. Um And this is obviously I'm not a doctor. It says found to be a blocker of viral uh replicate replicase r e p l i c a s e protease and I don't know what this word is. Human t m p r s s 2. I don't know. But what they didn't highlight is that I got better. Yeah, you got better quickly. to make it seem as if like I'm doing some wacky [ __ ] that's completely ineffective. CNN was saying that I'm a distributor of misinformation. Also, that was the other thing that happened. The in Tokyo, in Japan, which is apparently they're very conservative about the
medication that they they use and the medications that they endorse, but the Tokyo Medical Association chairman held a live press conference recommending Ivermectin to all doctors for all COVID patients. So what's going on with the like the you know, it's kind of hard to to figure out what's the truth in in a lot of things, but with with regard to this people go it's insane to take Ivermectin. Like you see it everywhere. Everyone's like this is wild, don't take this [ __ ] And then you have the head of the [ __ ] Tokyo whatever medical commission saying take Ivermectin. Yeah, I don't know what's going on, man. You know, there's a lot of speculations. It involves the emergency use authorization for the vaccines that in order for there to be an emergency use authorization, there has to be no treatment Mhm. for a
disease. Right. So, because there is this treatment in in Ivermectin, and there's other treatments, too. Right. Um because of this, there's a lot of pushback against potential treatments and pretending that they don't really work or that they're conspiracy theories. Mhm. This is the This is the grand conspiracy, right? The grand conspiracy is the pharmaceutical companies are all in cahoots to try to make anybody who takes this stuff look crazy. But what's crazy is look how better I got. I got better pretty quick, [ __ ] Let's go to like your your whole experience. So, you get back from a trip, right? And is it that night? Do you arrive home and know or like on your way home you're like, "I don't feel so great."? Um Well, Saturday at Here's what happened. Friday night we went out and got hammered. Mhm. Went out and played pool till 3:30 in
the morning, had a a bunch of drinks. Mhm. Had a bunch bunch of drinks at the show. At the show I think I had two drinks. And then I had like four afterwards. So, we're pretty lit. Yeah. And it was 3:30 in the morning, exhausted, plane travel, you know, flew that day from um I guess it was Fort Lauderdale was the first show, then that was Tampa, and then last show was Orlando. Um that night I just I was worn out. Friday night, you know, cuz it's 3:30 in the morning and I was like, "Ooh, I got to crash." And then I woke up in the morning and I was definitely hungover. But I was also just feeling a little out of it. Just a little just a little just not good. It's a hard to describe. If I had COVID, it was just like beginning stages. But I thought it was a hangover. Right. Which kind of confuses with how you can read it. So, I drank a lot of water, um
ate, took a bunch of vitamins, went to sleep, got up for the show, felt good. Um no drinks that night. Um and then that night we flew back. And so just feeling worn out, you know, pretty normal but worn out. Mhm. And then when I got home I was like, man, something just feels off. So I told my wife, you know, you should probably um keep away from me. Let me isolate. Luckily we have a big house. I isolated. And in the middle of the night I was sweating. You know, I would get fevers and I just I wasn't feeling good. And you knew it then? I woke up in the morning I knew it. When the morning by time the morning I was like, something's going on. Let's see what it is. I was 90 whatever percent sure it was COVID. So morning I got tested. Turned out positive. And then just is Sunday? Mhm. Sunday. So Sunday Sunday you you find out you're positive and
then that day you you feel sick, right? You're just in bed. Relaxing and resting. headache. Sick. Weak. Do you immediately This is what I I didn't hadn't ask you yet. Had you Did you have a plan in place in your head for like if I get COVID I would do these. So you So when you find out you're positive Yeah. you start reaching out for these treatments? Yeah, I already have the I already had it in place. You did? Yeah, I was already ready to go. So and then you start taking them that day? Yeah, I got it. I got all the stuff that I needed. Took it that day. And then Monday I felt pretty [ __ ] good. And I was taking vitamin IV drips every day. High dose vitamin C. Mhm. Um vitamin D uh and NAD as well. What is the NAD stuff? Cuz I I hear that good It's a good question. The word. Try to Try to say the word. We'll pull
it up so we can just read it cuz it's uh it's very complicated. But what NAD does is essentially it lengthens your telomeres. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Yes, that's it. So uh it's coenzyme central to metabolism found in all living cells. NAD is called a dinucleotide because it consists of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups. One nucleotide contains adenine nucleobase Okay. Anyway, I've taken that stuff in the past. Yeah. Um in IV drips. It's super uncomfortable. It makes your guts feel like they're getting squished. Like you have to do it real slow. You do it over like 2 hours. Yeah. Yeah. Or you get really high and you can [ __ ] up the blaze through it. I hold the world record at not the world record. The the record that they ever had a drip hydration for someone doing it. I did it in 10 minutes. You're supposed to do it
in like 2 hours plus. it in 10 minutes that day? No. No. No. No. This time I didn't [ __ ] around. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Because I want I was doing it in 10 minutes just to see how fast I could do it. My concern when I spoke to you was just will you please [ __ ] rest? That's what I texted you. I was like, "No hill runs, no [ __ ] kettlebells, and don't wrestle any [ __ ] cattle today. Just rest." I did. like, "I'm going to rest. I'm going to rest." I know. I did. I rested. I did. I didn't do [ __ ] but watch TV. I actually enjoyed the first couple days cuz I was like, "This is a nice like a legit solid excuse where I don't have to do anything." Which never comes up. Right. That was like when the pandemic started back in March last year where it was like, "No, you have to cancel your
§02Transcript · 9:03
dates." I was like, "Oh, yeah. It'll be like a nice week off." Sure. 2 weeks to slow the spread. Yeah. Let's [ __ ] chill out. Yeah. Um so But you know, after I did this and I I hit it with the NAD and the high-dose vitamin C. I think it was 10,000 10,000 mg of vitamin C in the IV drip, which is like very It It's very effective. It goes right in your bloodstream, right? Yeah. Um After that and the monoclonal antibodies and all the other stuff, literally on Monday I felt pretty [ __ ] good. That's yeah, so that's pretty pretty fast. Pretty fast. Yeah. Mine, when I got COVID, I was in like the hospital recovering from surgery. Right. And I thought it was uh the opioid withdrawals. Of which they told me they were like, "You're going to feel like [ __ ] when you get off of these." Like the flu, right?
Yeah, it's exactly they said, "You're going to get emotional and you're going to feel terrible." And I was like, "Okay." And I I got off of them like on a Saturday. I stopped taking them after like 2 weeks. And then on Monday I think it was Monday or Tuesday, I had PT and OT back-to-back. And afterwards, I was like, "Man, I feel terrible." OT? Occupational therapy. Do you know above the waist is kind of the way they tell you like PT's below the waist, OT's above the waist. So, they were treating my knee for PT and then the OT was like the arm and hand stuff. I did them back-to-back like and they're hour each. And I'm all [ __ ] up, so they're like, "Yeah, of course you're tired and [ __ ] Like take a nap." I I slept for like 3 hours. And they're like, "God damn." And I And here's the thing, no it occurred to nobody that I
had COVID. The next day I'm like, I had diarrhea, my my shoulders like my traps, neck so achy. I was like, "Ugh." And they're like, "Yeah, he's just [ __ ] worn out from the the therapy and getting off of the opiates and everything." And And then the the next day, a little better but still shitty. And the third day, I was like, "I feel better, you know?" And the fourth day I was like, "I feel fine." So, that was kind of like my window. And it was the last the fourth day where they were like, "Do you want to take a COVID test?" I was like, "For what?" They're like, "Oh, for when you felt like [ __ ] 3 days ago." And I go, "Yeah, okay." And so, I took the COVID test. And my favorite is that they're like, uh "Do you want same-day results?" And I go, "Yeah." And they go, "It's expensive." And I go, "This [ __ ]
hospital stay is expensive. What are you talking about?" Like this is thousands of dollars a day. You think I I don't want to spend $100 more to find out today? So, I said, "Yeah, let's do same day." And then they tested and at the end of the day I go, "Where's my result?" And they're like, "We don't know." So, the next day I'm going home and it's it's it's a Saturday. And they're taking me home and I was like, "Hey, whatever happened to my [ __ ] COVID test?" And now I feel like totally fine. And they go, uh, "I don't know. I'm going to call the lady that took the test." And I was like, "What the [ __ ] This is so crazy." So, I get home, I watch a movie with my kids Oh, no you don't. and the email goes ding and I open it and it says positive. That's how I found out. Did you infect the kids? No. I I don't know.
Really? Yeah, we didn't test them. So, they just never felt it? They were just fine. Didn't bring it up? Never said anything. Yeah, my one kid, all she got was a like a minor headache and the other one it was a little worse, but she's one of those kids that like when she gets sick, she wants you to know I'm sick. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My one kid doesn't give a [ __ ] Like she's It's funny, guys. Out of the box, they're so different. different. They're so different. This morning I was working out in my older sick kid came in to the gym at home naked, bent over and goes, "Look at my ass." I was like, "Yeah, I see it." He goes, "Look at it." I was like, "I see it. Get the [ __ ] out of here, man." He's like, "Do you see my ass?" I was They both are in that thing. We're like, my 3-year-old he's like a in the like yes or last week
he goes, "There's no school today." And I go, "Really?" He goes, "Yeah, teacher said no school." I go, "The teacher said no school?" It was like [ __ ] Wednesday. I go, "Really? Should I call you?" He goes, "Don't do that." I was like, He's already like lying They're just like They're such hilarious. do that. Don't do that. Don't do that, people. You know, he's been saying since he was two, if he's eating something like ice cream, you go, "Can I have a bite of that?" He'll go, "It's sour." Like, he learned that sour is undesirable. Oh, that's hilarious. And then if he has a toy that he's playing with and you go, "Can I play with that?" He goes, "It's broken." Like, you don't want to play with this. Is this the one who calls you Tom? No, the the the show me my show me look at my ass calls me Tom. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, hey Tom. Oh. Oh my god.
is he is wild. He's [ __ ] got person. This kid comes in the room with a bucket hat, knee socks, and he's like licking a lollipop. He's like, "What are you doing today, Tom?" Licking a I'm like, "Who the [ __ ] are you, man?" You look like you play in a funk band in the '70s. Funk band. Yeah, he's just [ __ ] so much personality, that kid, man. Well, imagine growing up with two comedians for parents. You know, where everything is always just trying to get the laugh. It's constant, you know? The cursing thing, you know. It is wild. Is it a problem? Yes. Yeah. And I've been like like we correct them all the time, but they got you know, they fight all you know, the older one, he'll grab him by the face. I'm like, "Don't hit his face." And he's like slapping on him, jumping on his head and [ __ ] I'm like,
"What are you doing, man?" And like I got they were fighting the other day and I separated them and the older kid goes, "If I see you in school together tomorrow, I'm not going to say hi to you when you're in the [ __ ] line." I go, "Hey, don't say that." And then the little guy goes, "Fucking line." [ __ ] I'm like I'm There's like no hope, you know? They just Yeah, they're just they see your special, too, they're like, "This [ __ ] gets paid to swear." Yeah, yeah. He's telling me not to swear. He swears in front of the whole world. This is crazy. Thank god we're not there yet. It'll be a nightmare when we get there. My kids have never seen me perform, but they did get to peek backstage. Um not at a giant place, though. It was at the Improv in Irvine. think they've snuck a peek on Netflix for you yet? Cuz they're older kids, so
like they're savvy. Yeah. Probably that. Yeah, the 13-year-old's probably done that. But I mean, they haven't seen it live. Like they they haven't seen like a like an audience. I don't know. The older one certainly has, but the young ones hanging out with my parents a good bit lately. My dad. So like a month ago, I get a series of texts that are photos that are clearly somewhere on the human body, but it's so punched in, I don't know what I'm looking at. I'm like, what is this? And it's like three photos in a row. I'm like, what is this? And then he calls me, he goes, "Did you see what I sent you?" And I go, "Yeah, what is that?" He goes, "That's between my scrotum and my anus." And I go, "WHAT THE [ __ ] MAN?" HE'S LIKE, "I GOT AN infection down there." And I go, "Why are you sending me photos?" He's like, "So you can see
what I'm talking about." I go, "You can just say it." But you don't even know what you're looking at. know what I'm looking at. I'm like, "What is this?" And then my mother's like, "He makes me take pictures." "And I show them to him and he goes, 'That's not good enough. Take another one.'" So she's like he's like holding his legs up like a child changing a diaper, and my mother is snapping photos of an infection on his taint. Oh my god. And then he's like, "They had to cut something out of me and sew it up." And I'm like, "All right." Cut something out of his taint? Yeah, he had an infection, he said there. And then Yeah, I guess that bad. And then I see him 3 weeks ago in person. He comes to a show, and he's like, "Come here, let me show you something." I'm like, "All right." And then on an iPad, like the big iPad, it's the photos, but full screen. I'm
§03Transcript · 17:05
like, "Your taint again?" And he's like, "Did I show you this?" I go, "Yeah, we talked about it. You sent me these photos. I don't want to see my dad's [ __ ] again." And he's like, "Okay." And he's like totally not getting how crazy it is to Just me that. And then I see him 2 days ago and he goes, "Hey, can we let me something?" At dinner. He goes, "Let me show you something." I go, "Is it a photo of your balls and your ass?" And he's like, "Yeah." I go, "We've been over this, man. I don't want to see it. I understand you have an infection." He sends it to so many people he forgets. who he sent it to. AND THEN LIKE HE PUTS it down and he goes, "You know, the a lot of the Vietnamese were so small that grenades could just blow them in half." And I go, "What are you talking about?" He's like, "In Vietnam." Was your dad in 'Nam? Yeah. Wow.
He's like, "You know, grenades usually will blow like a hand off somebody, but the Vietnamese were really like small people and sometimes they'd be blown in half." And I go, "What is prompting you to tell me this?" And he's like, "These are just things I think about. What do you want to get something to eat, buddy?" Like that's how he transitions. I'm like, What the Out of nowhere. Out of nowhere. Jesus Christ. He'll tell me like a cartel torture thing that And I'm like, "What What's that?" And he goes, "Well, yeah, I have a lot of time on my hands, so I read a lot." I'm like, All right. Cartel torture? Anything that's [ __ ] extreme and insane. Yeah, he reads about. Jesus Christ. he's like, "Let me get a Diet Coke." And he just All right. Yeah. Has he always been like that? Yes. Yeah. He He's like so funny, man. Like you know, you realize you have like a
life study on somebody when you you know, like you've known someone like decades and you're like, "I still don't fully get the guy, you know?" He's still like a bit of a mystery. I mean, I I understand him a lot, but it's like he he can't sit still, really. But could you imagine being in your 20s and getting shipped off to Vietnam and seeing all the horrible [ __ ] those guys saw and realizing when you get back the war was for no reason. Did That war is unjustifiable. Yeah, it it it's it's a big thing and I mean, and he's one of those guys too that went and signed up, you know. Signed up to go. Thought he was a patriot. Well, he just was like, you know, yeah, he's of that old school American like I'm going to you know, fight for my country. Right. Graduated college and was like Marine Corps, here we go. Well, it's such a sketchy war, too, because the
whole premise for getting into it was completely made up. You know, the Gulf of Tonkin. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know. And he but I mean I think a lot of those guys what they think about like my dad is he was a lieutenant, you know, like had a platoon of 70 men and like the thing that you see as they age, like my dad, is how much they think about the men they lost. Like for them that's what I think. It's less about countries and politics and who was they just think about Your tribe. Yeah, man. And like One time he he told me this like a year ago and he'd never told me he's like, I think about those guys every day that I lost. I'm like, whoa. How could you not? Yeah. The [ __ ] is going on in Afghanistan, That is such a [ __ ] [ __ ] show. The shittiest of [ __ ] shows. And I and I'm I feel so I feel terrible for
I mean, the people that have like like my dad but now that enlisted or you know, have participated in trying to maintain or do the right thing or you know, represent their country. All these poor Afghani people who are brutalized by this insane regime and are left alone, can't fend for themselves and Well, not only that, there's a database of all the ones who helped Americans and they have it. Yeah. So, they're just going door-to-door trying to find these people that helped the Americans. Yeah, you know what they do a lot of times, too, is like they'll they find out like you helped the Americans and they they torture and kill your kids in front of you and that's [ __ ] crazy. It's this is the the strangest time to to read the news or watch the news, too, because there's still people scrambling to try to pretend that Biden is doing a good job.
I have I have I'll be honest with you. I have never been more checked out of like I've always been like a news consumer, you know, like as pretty much my whole life. I've paid very little attention. I think I have almost like news fatigue from the last previous 4 years where I get some of the big headlines, you know, you kind of just ingest them by being like present. But I don't I don't I have I've stopped really consuming that day-to-day headline American politics. Good for you. Smart. I don't know I don't know if it is. I I I used to like just be a daily, you know, consumer of of all the big news. But it feels like that doesn't help you. I don't think it does necessarily. I mean you feel a little bit like you're not aware of everything like like I used to be, but like I I couldn't tell you really much of like any Biden news. I don't I don't really know,
honestly. Well, apparently there's this meeting with the families, the Gold Star families, and he kept checking his watch. And then I I did read I saw the headline that somebody wrote about being that at that Gold Star family meeting and bringing up his son. That there was a big criticism about. But I didn't read the article. I just read the headline. Yeah. He apparently kept checking his watch. Like I got to get out of here. I don't know. I mean, listen, the reality of that guy is he's out of it. I don't care what anybody says. There's something wrong. He's either got dementia or he's slipping into it. Yeah. You think it's that bad, really? Yeah. Yeah, I do. Yeah. And I don't think it could be questioned at this point. He's He struggles, you know, and um and so then there were people saying that the families were not telling the
truth that he that he wasn't checking his watch. There was news stories that was criticizing the family supporting him. But then the video got out of him checking his watch multiple times and so then they apologized. But it's uh it's just such a strange time because these news organizations clearly are not just doing the news. It's not just the news. They have an agenda and the agenda is to support the president and the and the party. You know, this is real clear is that like the other side is evil and that this side is our only hope and so ignore a lot of the inadequacies and the failures of this administration and concentrate entirely on you know, like January 6th and this and whatever whatever other negative aspects and and now there's [ __ ] Texas abortion bill. Like what in the [ __ ] is this? The How did that happen? I have no idea.
no idea. I didn't even know it was up for vote. Jamie, do you know what happened? But that has that has also Six weeks? Yeah, that's caused a huge shitstorm. Have you ever seen what the they show you what a 6-week-old I mean it's like a bean, right? It's like a a grain of rice. It's the tiniest thing. And like that's just it seems like it's just a way for like the Republicans in the state to dig in their heels on something. Like we we got this one. Is that That's just going to force people to vote Democratic? I mean, yeah or stupidest thing. If that's their their thought process behind it, it's the dumbest thing. And it doesn't it doesn't line up with the national laws. Mhm. You know? It's um it's not good, man. It's not good. It's not good also because it's it's clearly a religious-based law, right? I still I still struggle with the idea like
why I mean I get it cuz I was raised, you know, by Catholics in a Catholic home, but like when you reach adulthood why you don't feel like this should be something that women decide for themselves. Like why why do do so many guys think they're not carrying it, man. Yeah. You you really think that like you should weigh in on what a woman does? I don't understand that. Like if that was in our body, there's no way we would let anybody who's not a guy weigh in on this. You get a free abortion with a tank of gas if guys got pregnant. For sure. For sure. Yeah, it would there would be no question. And there's and the and the the the lack the total lack of empathy for for women that are struggling, poor, in a situation where they just can't and they're like, "Well, [ __ ] you." Yeah. Don't give a [ __ ] Exactly. It's been 7
§04Transcript · 25:58
weeks. You're you're [ __ ] It's like, "What are you talking about, man?" Right. And why why do you feel so strongly about this? Yeah. And then I don't buy the fact that it's like, "Well, it's precious life to you." You don't believe all life is precious. People who who hold that point of view they don't hold that point of view consistently. No. They they're usually pro death penalty. Of course. Yeah. Like so wait that will that's different cuz that's an adult and this was unborn. Okay, well isn't it precious life still? It's not precious anymore? Okay. Well, they're usually pro war. In in many circumstances. It's hard to say, man, because the reality of abortion is that at some point in time it does become a human life. Yeah. So, it's one of those things that although I do not feel in any way, shape, or form that a man should have
the ability to tell a woman what she can do with her body. The reality of what an abortion is eventually it's eventually a life. So, like when it's 4 months old or 5 months old, when when it gets into that, like I I knew a guy back in New York and his girl was showing and she got an abortion. I mean, but don't you think though that that's got to be for most women just a [ __ ] horrific experience? Horrific. Like I'm sure it's I don't think it's like I think people who are like really pro-life think that somebody making the choice to have one is doing it like callously and without any emotion for some reason. Like it's always the narrative is that that Right. They're well, you know, she's treating it like birth control or something. It's like I don't think that that's really what's I think most of them are going through something
really difficult and like it's an emotional They're probably a mess when that [ __ ] happens. For sure. And the ones who even pretend they aren't, like I saw a girl who who had a shirt on that said I've had 21 abortions. Yeah. And this is like in protest of all this. Yeah. Is that's like one of those, you know, I'm defiant things. Like who knows if that's even true? By the way, 21, I mean, let's pull your punch card. I think you've had quite a few. Yeah, let's snap that. Let's step back a second here. If you've had tie them tubes. If you're into way into double digits, maybe stop [ __ ] You got a a problem. Yeah. I mean, what is that? 21? Imagine. Like God. The guy's like, "Should I pull out?" She's like, "Nah. I've already had There's easier ways, lady. You know. Yeah. Well, it is a the the the birth control
pill for women is a [ __ ] up method of birth control because it does do wild [ __ ] to their body. It's not healthy for them in any way, shape, or form. Like [ __ ] with their hormones, you know? guy whose daughter died from the pill. What? Yeah, she had uh apparently Look this up. Um I I believe there's an issue with people who smoke and also uh take the pill. And I don't think it's I don't think it's common. I think it's uncommon, but it did happen to this guy's daughter. That's terrible. Yeah, she died. I believe it was had something to do with blood clots. Um is that what it is? No. Here it is. Mortality in relation to oral contraceptive use and cigarettes. The risk associated with both smoking and oral contraceptives and mixing the two can be a deadly combination. Smoking is known to restrict one's blood vessels causing
blood clots that lead to cardiovascular issues. Yeah, so really sad. she was in her teens. And that that was the first I'd ever heard that people can actually die from smoking while they're on the pill. And I was like, what? Yeah, I've never But the pill's terrible for women. It's terrible for women. Yeah. And they they came up with an idea for a contraceptive for men, but apparently it's just going to crush your testosterone levels. Oh, well, no one's going to take that. But some [ __ ] will. Yeah. Some guys like, yes, please. No, thanks. I'm not that butch. Yeah, most Well, anybody anytime where you're interfering with someone's hormones in that regard. Right. It's like but it's really bad for women, man. It's just not good for them at all. You know, the other options obviously are IUDs and condoms and some other Those are way better for the
woman's body. The the pill's just terrible for you cuz it tricks your body into being pregnant. Your body just thinks you're the ultimate hoe. Like you just You're pregnant all year round. if the doctors say that. That's what the doctors say. You're the ultimate hoe. That's what doctors say. Yeah, they all say it. They even wrote it It's in the literature. In med school they're like, now you'll have some hoes walk in your room." Your body says Give them this pill. Yeah, they're the ultimate hoe. Uh so, wait. But, we were saying, you didn't have any um loss of smell No. No, none. No. Lucky, man. Yeah, I got lucky. Well, I mean, it didn't have a chance. I I jumped on it so quick. I had I had Plus, I think I my body was so filled up with vitamins that even though I got it, it's like the the preparation was there, you know? And that was the only time
that I wasn't taking ivermectin prophylactically, which is supposed to be, according to Dr. Pierre Kory, supposed to be uh the best use of it. There's a study Find out this this a study out of Argentina uh prophylaxis use of ivermectin in uh uh critical care workers. That was where uh they'd they'd given it to a bunch of doctors and nurses, and the people and they they gave it to them as a preventative measure. And it helped? Yeah, that's supposed to be the best use of it as a preventative measure. Do you know the um so, I had loss of smell, which which came back mostly. They say alpha-lipoic acid, according to Huberman. Andrew Huberman says, yeah. When I googled it, that's the study that is in quotes flawed, according to nature.com. Wow. You know um the three things that smell and somewhat taste Farts? They they don't smell the same at all. What do
they smell like? Flowers? No, just you're like, it just smells like uh it doesn't smell like it used to. They're not good, but So, if you cut one of your own farts I'm like, it almost smells like a stranger's I'm like, "Hmm, who's that? That's not one of mine." Yeah, that doesn't smell the same. Um lemons, limes, and toothpaste. All smell good? No, all smell like farts. Like, they don't smell good. And the toothpaste one [ __ ] with me the hardest because that first I was brushing my teeth. This is like a few days later, right? And I remember I went and I was like, and I thought it was the toothbrush, like an old tooth I was like this must be an old toothbrush. It smells like [ __ ] Like someone dipped in their [ __ ] Yeah, [ __ ] threw that thing out. I was like, yuck. I can't believe how long
has that toothbrush been here? I get a fresh toothbrush. Toothpaste and I'm like, oh, it must be the shitty toothpaste cuz that smelled. So, I throw the toothpaste out. I open a new toothpaste. I put it on like this smells like someone's [ __ ] too. Like what's going on? So, I just I keep switching. Did you ask your wife to smell it and see if it smelled normal? Yeah. She's like it just smells like toothpaste, it tastes like toothpaste. Wow. And here's the thing, I've tried them all now. I even have a friend give me all natural. She was like, try the all natural. Maine, that kind Yeah, that stuff. And I was like, smells like farts. It all smells like farts. Still? Yeah, still. Oh. What is parosmia? Parosmia? Yeah. Mhm. It happens smell receptors in your nose called olfactory sensory neurons don't detect odors and translate
them to your brain the way they should. Usually the smell is bad or even revolting. For example, you smell a banana instead of something fruity and pleasant, your nose may pick up a foul odor like rotting flesh. Yeah, that's exactly it. But does it say a viral infection. Does it say parosmia causes? Does it say cures or treatments? Uh I think Uh it says COVID-19 and to come back. I I'm not Well, according to Huberman, he said alpha lipoic acid. But also um I've heard people have their smell and taste return through NAD drips. Really? Yeah. I'm going to sign up for one. I'm going to get one. I'll hook it up. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks. Yeah, we um we got I got uh Tony on it, too. Tony did not get sick. Tony was with us. We we all, you know, we're together in Florida. Lara, even though she was uh vaccinated, she still got it. She was there?

And how how did she She got a lot sicker than me. Is she okay? Yeah, she's okay. But she was wrecked. She was? She was wrecked for a solid week or so. And Tony did not get sick. Tony did not get sick, but he got close. He got Did he test positive? Nope. Tested negative every time, but he
was feeling like [ __ ] But then I got him the NAD drip in the um high-dose vitamin C drip. And he said he felt phenomenal. Like he it I get got it to him uh two days in a row. Did he Did they go to him for it? So they did. Okay. then boom, he was back. And he said he feels 100%. That's great. Yeah. The I'm telling you, NAD drip and high-dose vitamin C and just all high-dose IV vitamins is phenomenal when you're sick. Because it just goes straight to your bloodstream. And high-dose vitamin C in particular um This I've been told this by multiple doctors is just phenomenal when you're when you're really sick. Really? Yeah, high-dose vitamin C IV drip. Okay. Yeah. I'm a big believer in these IV drips. Yeah. We already scheduled cuz I have such a daunting uh tour schedule. Mhm. I've scheduled vitamin drips for the tour. Oh, that's a good move. I learned
about them from Chappelle. Really? Yeah, first time I went on tour with him, uh we went out that night. He goes hard in the paint. around. Yeah, yeah. David goes hard. They like to party. They They make the most out of life, let's put it that way. They're out there drinking and partying and then Dave goes out to [ __ ] 6:00 in the morning. Yeah, but the thing is he's up at 9:00 with a cup of coffee I know. It's crazy. Anybody got a cigarette? Having a good time. But um he's a joint believer in those trips, too. And he didn't have a bad time with COVID, either. He said the vaccine he got vaccinated after he got COVID and he said the vaccine hit him harder than the COVID did. Wow. Yeah. Wow. But that's off often the case when people have had COVID and then they get vaccinated. A lot of times it's a rough ride. He had and he got vaccinated Yeah. I had
I had I got vaccinated. My cousin You got it after COVID and you didn't have a problem with it at all, right? Nothing. Yeah. Yeah. It's It's so weird, man. It's like just like the disease. It's like what it People vary so much. Yeah. Just like with I mean, honestly with any virus or treatment. It varies. You know, the human beings we're all made up of different you know, genetics, chemical composition. You just don't know who's going to hit what with what, exactly. It's So you're [ __ ] super protected Yeah. because They showed There was a study that showed that if you've had a previous COVID infection, you're 6 to 13 times uh more protected than you are with just a Pfizer. Yeah, I I you know, I gave up the argument. I was arguing with my cousin who's an ID doctor. What's an ID doctor? Infectious disease doctor. So this is
what she treats. She's in the hospitals, you know, every day. And uh she was like, when the Delta variant came out, she was like, this thing is no joke. She's like, this is all I'm seeing. You have to get back, especially if you're going on tour. I was like I was like, well, what about and whatever. I was like, fine. I'll just go. Yeah. Well, it didn't bother you. Yeah, it didn't bother me. I'm still um doing that. Like I'll still [ __ ] [ __ ] up little green [ __ ] Yeah. Here and there. You were a week out? A week yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's not that long. But it doesn't feel bad. Yeah, I had a great workout today. Yeah, I had a great workout today. Felt great. This is that's my second workout. I had one workout 2 days 3 days ago 3 days ago. Then took yesterday off and then worked out again today. Yeah. No problem at
all. Just feel completely normal. Great. Yeah. And your breathing's fine. Yeah, except the the hocking up little But it they're little ones little little green things. it or maybe you're immune to it now from having so much public scrutiny but like having people wish you got sicker? Isn't that crazy to you? I didn't pay attention. It's crazy to me. I mean I've had people you know wish harm on me and threaten me and tell me they wish I was dead and all this stuff. But Fun. Yeah, you're like cool man. Thanks for watching the special. But it's like when you're sick people are like I wish you were more sick. Well, the good news is I was only sick for a day. That's true. It's just it's just wild that there's people that like I wish you were more sick. I wish I wish you were in the hospital. Because I wasn't scared during the entire pandemic what they would like
is that when I did get sick that I was really sick and I became really scared and learned my lesson. And instead it's the worst case scenario for them. Right. I bounced back about as quick as [ __ ] can. Yeah. And they're haters. Yeah. But that's their life. You got to live like that. Imagine spending any time whatsoever wishing that a person felt bad. It's the dumbest [ __ ] thing you could ever spend your energy on. Yeah. And it doesn't work. You can't It doesn't It doesn't make people feel worse. God, I wish so hard and he's okay. So crazy. I you know I'd heard that that was going on but I didn't pay attention to it. It's like you know they're weak [ __ ] Yeah. You stay salty. Yeah. We're doing all right. Everything's fine. Yeah. I'm doing pretty good. But meanwhile, I don't have a bad message.
My message is be healthy. And obviously there's there's some merit to that. You know, and merit to being consistently healthy. You know, the here's a message. The the thing that [ __ ] me is drinking. I think that really [ __ ] me. Yeah. I bet if I went home early, went to the hotel early Friday night, got sleep like I normally do, I I bet it would have never gotten me. You think so? Yeah, I was hammered. We're out playing pool till like I said 3:30 in the morning. And you know I love playing pool, so I'll play pool till I'm [ __ ] exhausted. god. I went on a trip with you once. Dude. It was like stand up to pool to to the whole next day. Like you were like, "I didn't go to bed." You got back at like 9:00 a.m. and then we went out to breakfast. And I was like, "What are you talking about?" "You're fine." I was like, "No way, dude."
Well, you know, that that message is not a good message. No. The up all night message and the drinking message is that Yeah, my message is don't do that. And it it's stupid, and I haven't had a drink since then. I crave sleep now. Yeah. And I I value it more than I ever have in my life. So good for you. Oh my god. So important. I just like Yeah. I can I so sense the the lit like for me, everyone's kind of minimum is different, I think. If I get less than 6 hours, it's it's a less than optimum amount for me. Something is a little off that day. Yep. Can't exercise as well, you know? I I I don't think as well. My guts are affected by it. Like everything feels a little If I If it's less than five, it's that much worse. And if I get seven or more, I'm like I'm ready for the Olympic trials. I feel so [ __ ] good. You know, like I feel
mentally sharp. I can I can have a tough workout. I you know, I just feel great. Yeah, it's important. It's it's one of the most important things. The problem is, you know, I'm indulgent. And so when I'm having fun, it's hard to stop the fun. course. But that was a lesson. And also to be honest, I think I was drinking too much anyway. I was there's way too many podcasts where I was having drinks. It was just uh It was like I was looking forward October. Oh, really? Looking forward to sober October. Are you doing it? Yeah, definitely. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I'm definitely going to be sober this October. Oh, [ __ ] But it I might even do it all through September, too. I just um Oh my goodness. Yeah, it's um I was drinking too much. And I want you know, like nothing compared to Bert. Like what [ __ ] Bert does, you know? But for me, it was
§06Transcript · 42:58
if he'll do it this year. Good question. I mean, he's got so much on tour. I think the only way Bert really wants to do it is if we have some sort of activity. It makes it He has to has to have some fun doing it. Not just hey man, be sober for the month. Right. An activity and also like the best ones were like the yoga challenge and the fitness one got crazy because it was just too competitive and then it just eats your whole life. That was too much. Yeah, that was too crazy. There should be You know what? The the yoga one was perfect because I mean, you go I know you practice pretty regularly, but I think for the rest of us it was like a new thing and it was it was challenging to get the 15 in, but not too like not going to ruin your [ __ ] life. it wasn't crazy. And that was fun. Yeah. I would do that again. Yeah, maybe that's the move. Cuz I I
want to get back into yoga. I haven't really been doing it. I do I do yoga again for October. Let's do it. Let's get Bert and Ari doing it, too. Yeah. But he gets real upset about it. He's like, "October's a stupid month to do it." Ari gets sober. It's the best time for New York City. Yeah, you go to the It's the best time to be drunk. You go to Yankees games and you can find I saw Ari like screaming and yelling on Instagram about comedians who do game shows. He was He was screaming and yelling about comedians who have already made it and why the [ __ ] is wrong with you? I think I know he's talking to. Yeah. I mean I don't know. It's hilarious. And he gets fired up. He got to let it run. Yeah, does he's not talk well Is he talking to Bert? The Bert cuz Bert's that it's not really game show, right? It's like is it a show?
It's a competition show. It's a show. there's a lot of people on it. It's a lot of fun. Yeah, he's the host and I think he had to do it with another comic. Okay. There was another remember? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's just you know, Ari is very rigid in his idea. He does stick to his ideals about how to conduct oneself. Yeah. They're not they don't line up with everybody else's but he sticks to it. Yeah. His rants can be very funny though. Well, he gets very angry. Yeah. It's funny to watch someone get that angry. Yeah. Um I don't know if he'd be interested in doing Sober October. We'll have to do it. You'll do the you'll do yoga again? I'll do yoga for you. I'm 100% down for that. I think that would be good for me. I think I need to do that cuz mostly I've been doing you know, I've been doing a lot of cardio getting ready for elk hunting season. It's mostly what
I've been doing. Cardio and You look leaner. Yeah. You look thinned out. Well, that was a good thing about the the COVID. I lost a little weight. Hey. Yeah, find the positive in anything. I was planning on getting down into the 90s. I wanted to get down to like 190. Ideally like 193. 192 and I'm 195 now. So Okay, well if you'll do it, I'll do it. Let's call the let's call the boys and see if they'll do it too. Yeah. Nothing crazy. Just do 15. But you the thing is we want to do it in other places too. Yeah, but like on the road that's a fun thing to hey find a place we can go today. Yeah. And like Yeah. it gives you like something to aim for and it's a healthy positive thing. What about what is the yoga like during the well Ari hasn't had COVID. Did Bert get COVID? He didn't get COVID. Bert didn't get COVID. Did He did. He He had to get vaccinated. For his movie?
movie, yeah. Which one did he get? I don't remember. He I mean, that was like he got vaccinated like what like as almost as early as you can, I think. about that is that [ __ ] wears off. Like they're already saying that people should be get a booster. yeah, the booster's already Yeah. The problem is there's no real studies on the booster. So like if you had one shot and then the second shot was rough, what's the third shot going to be like? Well, yeah, if you had a rough experience, like I can't speak to that, but that that's probably scary to [ __ ] back. get a a rough experience with the I don't I don't think he did. He's probably drunk. Probably hammered the whole time. Did they tell Did they tell you to not drink? I know the Russian vaccine they were saying that you couldn't drink after the Russian vaccine.
Really? Yeah, that was like a big thing. The Russians were like, "What the [ __ ] are you talking about?" Yeah, his was like, you know, I think it's the studios make you do it for these huge productions, yeah. He's in a giant movie. Yeah, starring huge budget. Yeah, they're not going to be like, "Well, just see what happens." Yeah, you can't just get sick. And they have like crazy protocols on these sets, you know. I could imagine. I think you get tested walking in and walking out and you saw that on the news. I don't know if you have to Probably when you get to set, yes. I would imagine. production, you get to set like you arrive cuz I booked a movie or I got offered a movie, I should say, uh that I would have been shooting instead of breaking my body. And the reason that I turned it down was how long they wanted me
to do for the movie. How long they want you to isolate? So they're like This is how it happened. I get offered the movie in October of last year. And they go, "The movie You're going to It's let's say 12 or to 15 days." So like a pretty decent-sized part in this movie. So I go, "Okay." And it starts shooting, let's say, you know, December 1st. I go, "All right." They go, "Well, they need you a few days before, a week before. And that you'll shoot for most of the month of December and I I it lined up to be about 3 to 4 weeks. So I was like, all right. And I go, well, it looks like you have to be there during Thanksgiving. So I'm like, okay. So I I basically I I tell Christina, well, what I'll do is I'm going to rent a house and we'll all go there and you spend a couple weeks there and then go back and I'll just finish my last couple weeks. We get closer to the
to the production date and they go, "Hey, um they're going to need you now for 5 weeks." And I go, "What for?" And they go, "Well, they're extending how long you have to quarantine before you start production." So I was like, I thought about it and I was like, "Okay, I'll do it." Now we're closer to production and I get a call, they need you for 6 weeks. And I go, "Why 6 weeks now?" And they go, "Well, if they have to shut down production, they need to know that they'll have you in case, you know, to to shoot more." So now this what was once a 3-week gig is a 6-week gig. And I still go, "All right, but that's it." And then the day, this is like 2 weeks before we shoot, the day they go, "You're going to talk to the director today." My agent calls, "Just so you know, they need you for 7 weeks." And I go, What? "Tell them I'm not doing it." Wow.
"I'm not doing it, man. Like you you just turned a 3-week gig into like 2 months." Yeah. "I'm not I'm I'm not committing to that." And that's how I turned it down. Wow. It was way too long cuz they needed like they wanted you to quarantine initially like 7 to 10 days and it was 14 days and they wanted like a 3-week window on the back that you stay there for in case somebody else I was like The difference between you and a regular actor, like they don't understand, you make your money podcasting and stand-up. Mhm. There's a big difference. They like they for a regular actor, they're they're happy to get a gig and they go, "Well, okay, this is just like more time that I'm doing this gig." For you it's like, "Do you know how much money I'm going to lose? It is. And I I have to say, I enjoy features. And I I like it. It's an enjoyable thing. And I like that there's
like a beginning and end date. Right. I I I I enjoy that. But Yeah. 2 months to do that I was like unless it's like the [ __ ] project that I'm dying to do. Yeah, I ain't burnt out acting doing a sitcom. Yeah, sitcoms are different though. I I It was a lot of fun. It was great. It was I mean I'm super happy that I got it and I was very lucky, very fortunate to get it. And as far as sitcoms go, like NewsRadio NewsRadio's like literally one of the greatest experiences a person could ever have. Yeah. It was amazing. Yeah. Amazing, but I would never do it again. Yeah, I I mean and there's also, you know, there's times in your life where it makes more sense. Me going to sitcom do a sitcom right now would be insane. Right. I had a [ __ ] agent call me. He was like, "Hey uh I can get you got an offer to do this thing." I was like, "When does it
§07Transcript · 50:48
start shooting?" And he was like, I don't know, like 2 weeks ago or something, you know? And I was like, "I'm on a theater arena tour." And he was like, "Can you move it?" I was like, "No." [ __ ] Do you understand Do you understand what arenas are? Yeah, he was like he was like, "Oh." He's like, "It's a good part." I go, "I don't give a [ __ ] if it's with Martin Scorsese. I'm not doing it." how much you make in arenas? No, I don't I think the theatrical agents sometimes don't. No, they probably have no idea. I got offered a show where they throw you into space. They wanted to do a reality show where they shoot me into space. That'd be a good show. [ __ ] that. I'd watch that show. I would definitely watch that show. I'd get the kids for that one. Oh my god. That's that would be the most heinous way to die. Mhm.
Cuz it's basically a a really high plane flight. Like let's stop calling it space. Where like the when especially with the shuttle they're like, "Oh, we're losing pressure." And you're like, "Oh, my head's going to explode in this thing?" Or you're just going to burn alive. seconds. Yeah, we lost a few tiles coming in. Oh my god. Yeah, that would be a gnarly way to go, man. But Bezos did it. Branson did it. So those billionaire characters did it. So it's got to be like Elon's definitely going to do it, right? He's got the whole space program. I doubt it. He's probably going to make a clone. I'll put my clone up there. Yeah, why would he? Why the [ __ ] would he? If I was him, I wouldn't do that. But he's making the rockets. Yeah, that's a good good good idea. Make the rockets. Yeah, why the [ __ ] would he go? I don't know, man.
Would you take Would you if it would if it had a bunch of runs where like they've been doing it for Like an airplane. Yeah, a couple of years. I'm saying like they've been doing it a bunch. You'd do it, right? Yeah, I'd bring Eddie Bravo. I go, "Look at the curve." And he'd be like, "This is bullshit." curve. Look at the curve. I asked him one time about I haven't seen him in a while. About what do you think of like the photos and video? He's like, "It's all doctored." I'm like, "Every single one? All photos and videos?" He was like, "Yes." It's a concerted effort. That's a quite a team. Yeah. I don't I I never know if he's [ __ ] around or serious. Yeah, it's hard to tell. I think it's a little bit of both. But it's all [ __ ] aside, I would I would do it if it was down if they had it down cuz I think it would be an amazing Who
wants to go on the first one? I want to be up there in space space though where you could see the stars. You know, I don't I don't want to go on a high plane flight that might kill me. Yeah. You know what I mean? Cuz it seems like that's what these things really are. They're like a high plane flight that might kill you. Yeah. Right? I mean, is it Is that really space? I don't know. Cuz people are arguing that it's not, right? Are they? Yeah, yeah. They're arguing that Jeff Bezos never really went into space and that Richard Branson never really went into space. barely left the atmosphere kind of thing. Well, what is space? Like what How many feet do you have to be up? Like a a flight is like between 30 and 40 something thousand feet, right? flight, yeah. They usually go like 35,000 is like the most typical. So what's space? How high do you have to
get up? That's a good question. I don't know. I mean, I assume they're just leaving the atmosphere, right? So, what is a mile? A mile's like 5,000 ft. Is that what it is? 5,300 something like that. All right. So, so when you're up there on a regular commercial flight, you're like six-ish miles, somewhere 5 miles, six miles, 7 miles. Like when How many miles is space? That's a good question. 50? How far is Yes. 50? Yes. 50? According to the US military, the FAA, and NASA, 50 miles is where the line is, but 62 miles is the like legit line, the thermosphere. That's way [ __ ] further, man. That's way further. 60 miles. 62 miles. God damn. I didn't realize it was that much further. All right. Okay, so here we go. So, Yeah, there's Look at that commercial plane. This Kármán line is the 50-mile line. That's where like satellites, I guess, are.
Look at that little [ __ ] ass ozone layer. Like where the regular flights go. The troposphere, that's where we fly. The thermosphere and the exosphere. Oh. That's way the [ __ ] up there. That's where I'd want to be, though. I mean, I want to So, where where did he go? Where did Bezos and them go? That's a good question. Did they Do you know how far how I want to said, but Hmm. Yeah, let's let's find out how far The Kármán line, huh? Mhm. That's the line of space. Is that where the satellites are? Yeah, I'm sure I mean, they can't all be on that same line. They got to let's guess. How many How many feet do you think Bezos went up? Well, he didn't go. We know that he didn't go to like that extreme level, right? So, I'm going to guess that he went If you pull up that the the chart 75,000 ft? the chart of the different lines.
I'm going to guess it was the I'm trying to think what the line was here. To how feet do you think you want? Um I'll go with uh Yeah. 90,000 ft? Whoa. I was going to go like 75. I'm guessing three times as high as we normally fly. What do you think you went, Jamie? Take a guess. Uh well, I get I have It's too late. I've already seen that it's supposed to I it it's supposed to have gone higher. I don't have the number right now though. I know that Bezos was supposed to have gone higher. I don't even know if he made the flight yet though. I thought Bezos already did it. Yeah, he did. He did. Okay. Yeah, because Omega sponsored it. They were all wearing those Speedmaster watches. but Yeah, he had the [ __ ] cowboy hat on. He had the cowboy hat. That was a little asshole-ish. really fun. The cowboy hat was a little ridiculous.
Get the [ __ ] out of here. He had like childlike like excitement, which yeah, I get. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, he's retired. Yeah. And you know, He's just chilling, [ __ ] balling out of control with 180 billion in the bank. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Four All right, they have a tweet from their account. It says, "Only 4% of the world recognizes a lower limit of 80 km or 50 miles as beginning a new space." And then the New Shepard. That's not the device they were in, right? I don't know. Blue Origin's his company. So 80 km is, which is I think that's the actual like device or ship they're in, the Shepard. So what is what is 80 km? Is it like 42 miles? It's pretty close to 50 miles, I'm pretty sure. yeah. Mhm. So that goes above that, but I don't know that that's I don't think that's where they went. That's a lot further than we thought
then, huh? Yeah, yeah. So who went higher, him or Branson? Is Galactic that's Virgin, right? says that they've gone above it three ti- I don't think they went it on on that flight, but this even Blue Origin says they've gone above that distance three times. I love that they they note that they have an escape system. What the [ __ ] involved with that? What is that? like a normal flight attendant? Like you see this exit right here? Yeah. You see if some problem happens, just pull this and push the door out. And you'll float right out. in the escape system, I bet it's like some super insulated pod. There's no way he went up there without a I could imagine. solid one. Yeah, I mean, jeez, Christ. Yeah, but then also it's like what if you black out? Like what if it loses pressure? What if What if this? What if we What if we get hit by a little micro asteroid?
66 miles up, it says. Ooh. 60 Some orbital flight. You're right. Suborbital. It's what the the like the headline says. What is uh what does Branson say? What did What did he do? Bezos brought like children from like some factory? He's like, "If something goes wrong here, you'll die, but you'll save me. You just pull on this." And they're like, "Okay." Um I don't think They have the worst [ __ ] warehouse reputation of any company. It's It's scary. It's scary, man. They run. They have a timer. Yeah. Like if you order some toothpaste from Amazon, someone has like a little like a little iPad, and they have to run. According to Neil deGrasse Tyson, Richard Branson did not reach space cuz they only went 86 km. You have to go 100. And did And did Bezos hit? Yeah, I just I mean, it's So both of them didn't make it. It almost depends on who you're asking
§08Transcript · 58:50
for the answer because everyone's going to give a different answer, but yeah, the assumed line of space according to this then says it's 100 km higher than Earth's surface. Neil deGrasse is a bit of a party pooper. He [ __ ] all on that party, for sure. [ __ ] all over their party. We went to space. No, you didn't. get invited on the ship. No. Oh, that's why, right? He's probably a little little bitter. He's going to be the first one there, that's probably why. Oh, so he'll go to the real space space space. But who's going to take him? Well. Maybe Elon. There you go. Is he tight with Elon? Whoever wants that stamp. If I had If I had a rocket, I would definitely invite Neil deGrasse on that trip, for sure. And just have him teach me stuff the whole way. Look at that over there. I'm like, "Oh, no." It's like having a
[ __ ] professor with you. Yeah. Who else would you bring if you had like a dream team? I got to bring Bert. It's Tito's and soda the whole time. Bert, you're pouring drinks for us. Guys, can you [ __ ] believe we're up here? We know we're up here. Shut up. Guys, we're in space. Look, we have it. I pour the vodka. It doesn't even come out. I got to throw it. I got to throw it at the glass. There's a little controversy on the Branson flight apparently right now. They They were supposed to fly recently and the FAA has halted it because their first one on July 11th went off course, according to the New Yorker magazine. They're trying to find out how far off course it went. Oh, off course. Yeah. So, it went up, but maybe not the direction it was supposed to go. I don't know. Look how flimsy that rocket looks.
I mean, those little things stuck on the side looks like they would snap right off. What the [ __ ] are those things? In the photo that doesn't look That looks super non-confidence building. Yeah. Yeah, that looks Look at him. It is like he's partying. He's a good time. Have you ever met him? No, but I've met A lot of people are mad at these billionaire characters for going into space. Like other people are mad for just being billionaires, too. Yeah, there's that. People hate billionaires. There's a lot of that going on. There's a lot of uh Do you know that um the fires in Northern California, speaking of people that hate billionaires, they busted a social justice professor for setting them? What? Yep. He set them? Yeah. They set They busted this guy. He's a piece of [ __ ] apparently. Was he trying to deliberately cause a
massive fire? Yes. Not only was he apparently the accusation is worse than that. The accusation is that he was trying to trap the firefighters in the fire. So, he was setting fires behind them. Yeah. Former college professor accused of serial arson is denied bail in California. Let's pull up what he screw screw what he what he he did. Gary Maynard? Yeah, he was a social justice professor. [ __ ] terrifying, man, that this guy was a professor. Just angry [ __ ] Based on that finding the defendant will be detained as a risk of non-appearance and a danger to the community. Judge agreed to the Yeah. You can't let this guy out for sure. No conditions or combination of conditions that would provide the necessary level of safety to this community should the defendant be released. Yeah, this is what's crazy. This guy was
a professor. Holy [ __ ] Yeah. Scroll up. Let's see what it said. No, I mean I'm sorry, down. See how they busted him. I know they busted him because his car got caught in the fire. Like he was in the the area where you're supposed to be evacuated and his car got caught there and then they realized that he was actually setting fires. And not only was he setting fire. Maynard, 47, a former professor, who has taught at all By the way, so was the Unabomber, former professor. Um He taught criminology, criminal justice. Colleges in New York and California, according to the online records last fall he taught in the criminology and criminal justice department at Sonoma State University, which says in its official bio that Maynard that he has a doctorate in sociology and three master's degrees. His teaching research school said focuses on topics including the
sociology of health, defiance, and crime. This is so crazy. Crazy, man. So, he was spotted near the scene on July 20th of the Cascade Fire on the western slopes of Mount Shasta. A mountain biker in those remote woods had noticed signs of a fire, called 911, and then worked to limit the fire spread. A Forest Service fire investigator determined the Cascade Fire was likely the result of arson. He also noticed that on a dirt road 150 to 200 yards in the fire, a man was struggling to free his car, a black Kia Soul. Of course he is a Kia soul. After the vehicle's rear had failed to clear a partially buried boulder, a witness told investigators that the man identified later identified as Maynard had arrived several hours before the fire started, court records show. The witness said the man had walked off in the direction where the fire eventually ignited, returning
around 10 minutes later. After the man returned, the witness recalled smoke from the Cascade fire became visible. Wow. Wow, and they took tire tread pattern left by his car. Look at this. The investigator kept his distance from Maynard citing the man's uncooperative and agitated behavior. But, he took a picture of his car and the license plate number led to Maynard. Forest Service agents also measured and recorded data about the tire tread patterns. Wow. What a [ __ ] up person. [ __ ] up. It reminds me in some way, not entirely, of the uh that famous former arson investigator that set fires. You ever hear about that story? It is wild. No. And he wrote book uh he wrote a book about an arson investigator that set fires. Oh, Jesus Christ. Yeah. And his fires like he definitely killed at least one person. So, this guy was a
I'm sure you could find this. Where was this? Uh man, I don't I don't know if it was California as well. This dude was an arson investigator and he was setting fires left and right. Well, there have been fired um department members firefighters, actual firefighters, set fires and then put them out. Like, they have this thing. Some crazy people where they have like this they they want to put out a fire. And there's no fire, so they set a fire. This is the guy, right? Look at him. Shifty [ __ ] I don't like your mustache. Uh Giannini cited What's that? Sorry, my bad. Uh Giannini cited testimony by a UCLA forensic psychiatrist who said Oh, his name is Orr? Yeah. Oh, Leonard Orr, John Leonard Orr. Orr was driven to torch buildings by a compulsion he was powerless to control. He had no choice in the matter, the lawyer said. Hilarious.
This guy, he also wrote He wrote a book, right? Yeah, this has him listed as an American novelist on his Wikipedia. Right. And his book is about a [ __ ] arsonist who's a fire investigator. So, when did he get busted? Uh this was in the I mean, he died in Oh, he died in the '80s. Did he? No. No. No, it says he was 72 here. Oh, it says age 72. What is I don't know what that I don't think he's dead. No. Google probably just freaked out. That could have been when his book came out or when this happened. Some details here. Yeah, apprehended in 1991. Oh, okay. So, he's in jail now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 84 years later. California State Prison. San Quentin State Prison. Uh can you scroll to his book cuz I'm telling you it's like It'd be a wild book to read knowing Yeah, dude. that the guy actually set fires. It is kind of crazy that anybody Like
here we are, we're lighting cigars, right? Yeah. Anybody can buy matches. Anybody can buy a lighter. I mean I knew an arsonist. Did you really? Mhm. Went to school with one. Did he set people's houses on fire? Mhm. What did he set on fire? Government Weird weird socially awkward dude. Points of origin, playing with fire. Look, join the investigation as lead character. 2001? It must be a reprint cuz Publisher 2001. I don't know. It's kind of strange. They let him write a book after he's already in No way. Maybe it's a book on the actual thing. Author was convicted of murder and is currently Huh. Let me look that up. Yeah. Well, that's it cuz look at the other one, Points of Truth. That That's his name, too. But that came out That came out after this. These are probably reprints, man. Jeez, I hope so. Federal prison for 30 years, life plus
§09Transcript · 67:24
Yeah, but that you see the description, right? The description was about an an arson investigator, which is what he was. Oh, it's a crazy compulsion. His best-selling true crime in his book Fire Lover. No. That was the book? Fire Lover? Oh my god. I wonder if maybe he got sick while he was writing the book. Oh, so wait. Fire Fire Lover is a book about him. Yeah, sorry. Oh. That's a book about him. So, what is it? books are are Points of Origin and Points of Truth, it looks like. Yeah, Juan Box writing about John Orr. Oh. See, it says 2008. Yeah, these It's strange. So, Points of Origin Playing with Fire is his book. But it's like at 2008. Okay, so it must be reprints. Yeah. Either way. That is Imagine if he was one like cuz a lot of times when writers get into a subject, they thoroughly research like whatever psychosis the character has. Sure.
Like, I wonder if he went nutty investigating fires. Maybe, man. It reminds me of O.J.'s book, If I Did It. I have a copy of that, signed. Signed? O.J. Yeah. He's like, "If somebody gave it to me, this is exactly how I would, but I you know, I didn't do it. But You might go back to L.A. That was the best. The best is when O.J. He's scared to go back to L.A. go back to L.A. and run into the real killer. [ __ ] insane. Might be out there, man. Yeah, I love O.J. giving people advice on Twitter. Hello Twitter world, it's me, OJ Simpson. The strangest thing is watching him talk on on Twitter. Yeah. It's the the strangest thing cuz he talks and then you look in the the comments, it's all like knives, like knife emojis. Everyone's like, "Hey, remember when you killed those people?" Like those are the replies. That's all the replies. And
every now and then, you tell them juice. Like this every now and then there's like someone That's obsession with celebrity though, right? Like there's such an obsession with celebrity that people are just like It's cool, man. Well, there's people that are guilty. no matter what, they don't think people are guilty. Right? Like when Cosby got out Yeah. there's a lot of people that were like, "Yes, finally justice is served." I'm like What? I go, "What?" You talking about? How many people? Yeah, it's like up to 50 You think that 53 women in their 50s and 60s conspired to ruin Bill Cosby's life? Why? Some people are crazy, man. Yeah, they are. They yeah. They really they really do. They they But that's just you're never going to 100% compliance. Like when someone goes to jail for being a serial killer, there's women lined up to marry him. It's insane.
It's insane. I mean, Ramirez, Bundy, they had bags of mail. Yeah, naked photos and [ __ ] But like by They're like every day this [ __ ] arrives. What do you like what is that? He fathered a kid in prison. How did he do that? They [ __ ] uh They conjugaled? Yeah, well, they not um not a prison that allows it, but obviously a guard you know. off or wasn't paying attention or Or just got manipulated by a master manipulator and [ __ ] who he worked on probably for a couple of years and let it happen, man. Jesus. Ramirez got married in prison. Manson, a [ __ ] woman married Charles Manson and when he was like [ __ ] 70. she was like, "I love this guy." What? Yeah. There's That's when you want to go, "Hey, look, there's someone for everyone." If you're single and you're like, "Nobody's there." You can find
someone, dude. You just You just got to look around. Just get to get the right profile out there on a dating site. Yeah. You got to get out there. Yeah, you just for Someone's out there for you. For sure. You just The Night Stalker had someone. There's someone for you. For sure. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, a guy who crushed women's heads with hammers and [ __ ] And had And had By the way, he had choices. This wasn't like the one chick. He had options. Is it worth the other way though? Where women kill men, do they get a lot of uh proposals? For sure some, for sure. Must be, right? Absolutely. Guys don't want to die. Or they just think it's hot, or they just You know, people also romanticize people in their minds. And they just they You can choose to see what you want to see and block out. I mean, if you're writing to the Night Stalker and Manson
and [ __ ] Ted Bundy, who would rape dead bodies that had been decapitated, and you're like, "I want to meet this guy." I mean, you're Did he Is that what he did? Yes. He would rape the body after he killed them. You know, that's like Do you know he almost got Debbie Harry from Blondie? No. Yeah, she uh she escaped. She She was getting a ride from him, and she realized when she was in the car that the door didn't have handles on the inside. And somehow or another she got I want to say she was in the back seat. Somehow or another she got out. I don't remember the whole story behind it, but I remember her describing it. Woah. Yeah. Such a I mean, just a brutal savage dude. There's a movie out now that just came out that was released It's like on iTunes movies about him. Yeah. Yeah, Harry claims she encountered Bundy during the 1970s well before
the famous uh new wave band that made her famous came together. Who wrote this book or wrote this article? Well before the famous new wave band that made her famous came together. How about editing, you [ __ ] As she tells it, Harry was alone in the streets of Manhattan in the early morning hours searching for a taxi. Then a white car pulled up, the driver offered a ride, and Harry had doubts about getting inside the car, but her feet were aching and the driver appeared to be polite. Upon realizing she was trapped, Harry managed to escape and lived to tell the tale. Upon seeing Bundy's actual photo in a magazine article after his arrest, the hairs on the back of Harry's neck stood up as she realized she recognized him. I had not thought about that night but for maybe 15 years. It was him. [ __ ] It's in I mean Yeah, the passenger
side door handle was missing. Um actual photos of Barry's 1968 VW verify these details, but authorities have not confirmed the man Harry met the man Harry met was Bundy. I mean And that numbers Yeah. that he put up Yeah. That is insane, man. You You know, when they go like this person killed like six and seven people, you're like, "Oh my god." And And you go like he killed over 30 women. I mean, that's [ __ ] crazy in so many different states. It was California, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Florida. I mean, It just makes you think about the the way people's brains are broken. He was Yeah. Various people's brain whether it's arson or serial murder or what like people have the the human brain this is the movie. about the movie. No Man of God. Yeah, I saw it. I saw the Did you see the movie? Uh-huh. How is it? I mean, it's it's
interesting. So that's um supposed to be I think Bill Hagmaier is his name. And he's one of the guys that established the um the FBI's profiling program, right? Which became a it evolved into this huge thing now where you the term profiling didn't exist before him and a few other guys started to study interview and study these guys. And Hagmeier uh volunteered to go talk to Bundy and they were like, he's not going to you know, he denied it. He kept denying it. He's you know, pleading his innocence. And he you know, was able to connect with him and over time Bundy at first would just tell him about certain his Bundy had a interest in psychology, too. So, he would talk in like in psychological terms about things and weigh in on when they were looking for the Green River Killer, you know, he would give theories and he then he'd be
like, of course this I have no idea. I would never do anything like like [ __ ] like that. But over time and towards the end he ended up confessing to all his murders, you know, or a bunch of them. But um Hagmeier then ended up being the uh the guy that a lot of serial murderers wanted to talk to and and tell Jesus. because of the Bundy connection. Imagine being that guy and you have to sit there and listen to these people talk about how they tortured and killed people. Yeah. Yeah, it's it I mean Didn't Patton's ex-wife or his wife who died, didn't she find Well, she's given a lot of credit for track like tracking in the and profiling the Golden State Killer who they ended up catching not long after her death. And that that was in that HBO series which is fantastic. I'll Be Gone in the Dark that's the name of her book.
§10Transcript · 76:19
And that's the I think the name of the series, too. And it is unbelievable. She was so into that like finding him and and really doing like real investigative work. And she ended up pairing up with one of the guys the law enforcement guys that was had been trying to find this guy for years and years and years. And there was like, you know, they because people gave up on it. That guy's numbers were also [ __ ] insane. And his And the way he basically evolved or devolved as a criminal because he was a ran He was the ransacker. They called him the uh I forget. Like the Golden Like the Sacramento Ransacker or something. He would just break into homes and like ransack the home. You know? And he did it to like I mean like [ __ ] over a hundred homes. And then occasionally he would kill people. Well, then it became sexual assault
and he assaulted and raped women. And then I think there's I want to say in that HBO series they say that I think it was like someone in the news was like, "Oh, but at least he's not kill He's not a killer." And that the guy almost took that as "Oh, I'm not a killer." And he [ __ ] killed someone the next time. And then he ended up killing like a dozen people or ten people or something. Oh, wow. So, he was reading the news reports and then Mhm. [ __ ] But this thing like when you watch that series, too, and you realize that he would just wait in the [ __ ] shadows. And like you know, you you you go like this guy's heart rate just must just be like not able to flutter, you know? Like waiting in home waiting inside homes. One of the things he would do Like this dude was super sadistic. Joseph uh the Italian name. Right? DeAngelo.
Look at that guy. And you know, he was a police officer. Wow. He was a cop? Yeah. At least thirteen murders, fifty rapes, and a hundred twenty burglaries. Between seventy-three and eighty-six. And then he just stopped? Visalia Ransacker, then he became the East Area Rapist. The original Nightstalker. And he stopped? He did stop, yeah. That's crazy. And then you know what's also terrifying, you watch that that series and they have photos of him like with family. You know? like his kids, his nephews, and you realize that's just like that's some guy's uncle and dad. Jesus. What is that? Look at that image of him on the left. And that's an act. This is an act? That's an act. What do you mean? He was pretending to be feeble-minded and checked out during uh the beginning of the trial to be like less accountable for the crime. Yeah. Look how they're wearing the And then
this is when he was convicted and he he kind of knocked it off and he gave like his, you know, So all this happened during the pandemic? Yeah, I think so. Because he's wearing They're all wearing shields. That's him when he was a cop. What the [ __ ] man? You see like there's him like as Oh, Dude, that that series is incredible. Um Yeah, it's HBO did it. It's [ __ ] wild, man. And he he uh Yeah, so he was he was doing this like I'm not with it routine and then they in in the trial they showed there was a closed-circuit camera in his cell and they show him like getting up and standing on the sink to clean his cell and like moving around pretty well for a guy in his 70s which was like contrary to him in court being like I can't move. So it was all clearly manipulative. Yeah. Yeah. And they got him from the, you
know, you know how they got him? No. It was the like that 23andMe stuff. Really? Yeah. So But what didn't they get his brother or something like that? Well, they they ended up using I forget if it was her idea or another investigator's idea to look at that because they had trace DNA that was like 30 years old in a bag in one of these like rooms. And they're like let's test the DNA and it didn't it wasn't a match, so they knew it wasn't somebody that had been like arrested before. You know, they didn't have that 30 years ago, but they put it in the system to see if it would just you know, line up to the a guy who had been arrested. But then they go they were like, well, let's let's you know, by by looking at that evidence, they were able to put it into a realize that he's part of at least this family tree. And so they they were seeing like who is
in this tree from like those 23andMe type sites. And then they you know, they're seeing like who the possibilities are and they find a man in his 70s who's in California. And they go and they [ __ ] they get him in his garage. How long do you think we are from being able to have like a real lie detector test? Like a real lie detector where they put your hands in this thing and they can like read your memories. Dude. I don't think it's that far away. It doesn't seem like it would be. Cuz I know they convicted a woman I want to say in India. And they but it was very faulty. They used what's called fMRI, which is functional magnetic resonance imagery. And they said that she had um some sort of recollection of the crime scene that was unusual. But then someone was saying, but if you were defending your life, like if somebody accused you of murder
and you know, they showed you all the evidence, you would have like this connection to the scene. Right. Like how So how do you know? I talked to a a neuroscientist about this when I was doing that Joe Rogan Questions Everything show for Sci-Fi. Yeah. And she didn't think that it made sense. Like she didn't think that it was viable. But And they convicted her based on I think So it was quite a while ago. Feel like it was in India. I I see Google woman convicted of murder through fMRI in India. Do you know how much people are going to push back on that? Oh my god. The perfect lie detector people are going to be like, "Fuck no." [ __ ] you. Yeah. Oh my god. This is It's from 2009. It does say that she was convicted, but I feel like when we looked this up one time maybe it had been overturned or something, but Mhm. There's some of the similar articles are
deleted now. Uh So, this is from but it is from India, right? I believe this woman who I talked to is a neuroscientist said this would not happen here and this is the reason why. It's like, "But you know, people get it convicted of stuff that doesn't make any sense." You know, in Italy they were convicted They convicted these seismologists of not predicting an earthquake accurately. They convicted them? Yeah. Yeah, they got got this wrong. Yeah. And people were furious at them. Apparently, Italy I don't want anybody to like get mad at me in Italy. Italy has a wonky criminal justice system. Yeah. And it's super flawed. first exposure to any of that was that Amanda Knox thing. Yes. Yeah. Cuz that story I also it was a documentary thing that I saw that it it seemed wacky. I forget the details of it, but you're like, "How does this This
doesn't add up at all?" Yeah, Google um seismologists convicted for earthquake in Italy. in Italy. I'm pretty sure and and I'm pretty sure they were saying, "Hey [ __ ] this is not how it works." Yeah. We can't predict with whether or not the [ __ ] earth is going to shake. Doesn't seem like something you convict somebody of. cleared. They were cleared eventually. were charged. They had to go to court over it, looks like. Imagine. Imagine you're fighting for your life in a court case. An appeals court overturned their 6-year prison sentence. Yeah, so they So, they Yeah. It was crazy. Like the idea that these dumb [ __ ] don't know how the equipment works. So, they go, "HOW COME YOU DIDN'T GUESS?" MANSLAUGHTER. "YOU DIDN'T EVEN [ __ ] KNOW." YEAH, MANSLAUGHTER. Appeals court says six scientists did not cause deaths in the 2009
L'Aquila earthquake and cut sentence of a government official. [ __ ] Cleared of manslaughter. So, they God damn. Yeah, that's how dumb they are over there. I I think you said you didn't want to upset anybody. Just I'm saying it right now. They got their wine wine, pasta, they're [ __ ] sitting, "HEY, PUT THEM IN A JAIL. AND THESE ARE [ __ ] SHOULD HAVE KNOWN." from 2019 that says that that can be people can fool it. All right, I found out I was wrong as well. here in the US justice system that lie detector tests while No, it's not They they're like that's not going to hold up in court. It doesn't hold up in court, but I think it doesn't hold up in court because people can fake it. Yeah. But I don't know maybe you could get scared and your thing will be wrong and it'll register like you're
§11Transcript · 85:19
But that that [ __ ] Italian thing is the craziest [ __ ] I've ever heard in my life. They convicted them. Yeah, they're like, "You're going to prison." "Lock them up." Yeah, there's an earthquake. You didn't get it right. "You [ __ ] dumb [ __ ] How do you not have known?" That's so wild, man. Jesus Christ. the the people that are the best at defeating lie detectors are like the worst people, basically. Sociopaths Complete sociopaths, yeah. Yeah, they don't register any of the normal emotionals, like things you go through when you're lying. Where were you born? Mars. Yeah. Yeah, huh? Looks like he's born on Mars. It's [ __ ] Checked out. One day I think they're going to have something. The Well, there's there's a real fear that you know, um, the idea of Minority Report, right? Was that you're going to
[ __ ] so good. It's a good movie. It is one of those movies that really holds up, too, and for how old it is, like you can tell that um CGI has gotten better, but it it's still pretty damn good in that movie for being that old, you know what I mean? seen it since There's movies that like at any of the special effects, you're like, oh that looks wacky. Like the first Jurassic Park you're like, that looks [ __ ] stupid. Does it? Yes. But when you first saw it, you're like, there's dinosaurs there. Like you're [ __ ] freaking out. But now it looks goofy. The first one does. But but Minority Report, I think for being in that like, how old is Minority Report? 2002. It's 20 years old, man. And it's still it's pretty [ __ ] great. How good is Tom Cruise look? Yeah. That [ __ ] is like the best
aged actor of all time. No, it's baby blood, man. Well, whatever he's doing, he's doing it right. This movie's amazing. They showed a photo of uh Kelly McGillis. She was his co-star in Top Gun. Mhm. The two of them together back then and then what they look like side by side now. Yeah. And she's, you know, what she would call age appropriate. Uh-huh. She's sort of let herself go a little bit. Sure. She's got the short haircut, gray hair, and he looks like he maybe aged five years. It's But imagine what he puts into that. Oh, yeah. He's got to be Oh, yeah. The effort. dedicated as anyone can be. a whole team at Scientology that's just dedicated to like massaging his skin. I mean, he's what, 60? Or close to 60? years old. 85,000? How old do you think he is? He's got to be 60. Right there. And he still does his own stunts, which is crazy. The new Mission
Impossible, he shattered his [ __ ] ankle. Did you see that? Yeah, I saw it hopping off that building. He um Yeah, and they just him do that? Dude, by the way, as crazy as that sounds, jumping off of [ __ ] the crazier thing are the aerial stunts he does alone. Like Oh, yeah. Hanging on the side of a plane. Yeah, how about the one where when you fly a helicopter, there's a term that I'm forgetting that's it's like a forced descent. Yeah. And he was like, I'll do it. So he, and you can't put another person in there with him. He just went up alone and did the forced descent in a helicopter. Like for the thrill of cinema? Like just so that the movie looks cool? It's [ __ ] crazy, man. He's a wild dude, man. Yeah, he's like, "I'll do this." Well, he I know he does a lot of motorcycle stunts, too, which are also pretty [ __ ] wild.
doing this, man. here here he is. So, he's doing these actual helicopter stunts? dude. canyons? And I'll dive down. Just make sure you're rolling. Wow. So, he learned When I went up with Burr, it's amazing how free you are in a helicopter. You can kind of go wherever the [ __ ] you want. It's awesome. We were going through This is him here? Oh my god, look how close he is to the walls of the canyon. That's crazy. Yeah. So, now He's doing this, man. Oh my god, he's plummeting. Yeah, I got it. Oh, [ __ ] Christ. And cut. That's a print. Good job, Tom. No, I didn't say that. Dude, that is exactly what I said. Well, I guess that's a print. That's [ __ ] crazy. It is very crazy. But I mean, that's part of his thing, right? That he does his own stunts. Wait, cuz he believes in It's almost It's It's a throwback uh mentality to like, you know, when
probably before we were even born that the movies were like, "This is an experience." You know? Like now we're just like, "Ah, there's shows and movies." Right. But that that That's the mentality of like, "No, you're buying a ticket for a [ __ ] show, man. Like I'm going to I'm going to blow your mind in this movie." Does he do any movies without stunts anymore? I don't think so, really. Why would you? Why would you? I mean, kind of like the movie he's Basically, this part of his career is all like the Mission Impossible movies, right? just shot two back-to-back. Is he probably worried he's going to die? Tropic Thunder's cameo was like one of the rare non- That's a [ __ ] great movie that you could never make today. No. Oh my god. Impossible. But I mean, if you stop and think about it, like he's done a couple of those
sci-fi movies, which were very good, like The Day After Tomorrow. What What did they call They renamed it? Live Die Repeat. Yeah, Live Die Repeat, because I guess The Day After Tomorrow was too confusing to people. Really? Yeah, that's that movie where he keeps dying. I I It was cool. That's tomorrow. Edge of Tomorrow. That was uh Great [ __ ] movie. with Emily Blunt? Yeah. Yeah. That movie was rad. Great [ __ ] sci-fi movie. But the Do you ever think about the like how relevant Minority Report still is, right? Like Mhm. cuz it was like it was basically kind of what we're talking about. Like I tell It was like telling you and then showing you in the end that it can you get it wrong. And and it can Look at these movies, man. All the movies he's The Jack Reacher ones That one was not very good. But these Mission Impossible movies I
mean, if you If that's your kind of movie, he [ __ ] nails it. I love the Mission Impossible. Those are fun movies, man. Collateral. Yeah. too. Yeah. He hasn't done those for It's been 20 years almost, though. 15 years. of [ __ ] movies, man. Oh, yeah, 51 as an actor, it says here. 51 movies. That's 51 years of filming. I mean, how many do you film a year? That's not this one. He could do a couple. he could do maybe a couple. Untitled Space X project. Wee. Looks like Live Die Repeat is another one. Yeah, that's No, I like a new one. one. Yeah, it says repeat and repeat. Repeat and repeat. Oh, repeat and repeat. When is that coming out? I'll see that. It says rumored to, so. I There's not enough good sci-fi movies. That's my favorite enough good movies, period, right? Yeah. Most I mean, you look through the trending movies, and half of it's
[ __ ] [ __ ] Have you seen anything recently that's any good? Mhm. Mhm. It's hard to They all blend. It's Yeah, sort of. It's almost like there's too many of them. I started watching that documentary last night on uh What was it? Crime and uh about the uh the gang the gang the mafia guy uh that owned a trash company, Galante. And he uh this is on Netflix. It's called Crime and um I forget the [ __ ] full name is. Um uh Bert turned me on to it and it's uh it's a guy who's essentially like the real-life Soprano. Um he was, you know, mob associate or affiliate and he owned a trash business in Connecticut, a huge one. And um his son was a hockey player in high school and got injured and wouldn't be able to play hockey again. So he bought him a like minor league hockey team at 17. It was like, "It's your
team." And like he became the president of opera- And I'm I'm like halfway in this hilarious. It's crazier than [ __ ] This kid's like running a [ __ ] hockey team as a senior in high school. You know what I did see recently that I'm in the middle of right now that's [ __ ] great is the new Cocaine Cowboys: The King of Miami. Uh Billy's thing, right? Yeah, Billy Corben. There's not an there There's an endless stream of Miami cocaine stuff. Like I think he'll be in his 70s with a new Miami [ __ ] cocaine story. Well, he's so Billy's so interesting because he's so smart, but yet he loves Florida and Miami in particular. embodies Miami. Yeah. Have you read his tweets? Like it's all about [ __ ] that's going on in Florida or or Miami. Yes. Or yeah. Yeah. And just or old stuff that happened there. Yeah.
§12Transcript · 93:33
That that he's finding out about. Well, it's because it's such a [ __ ] unique culture. It is its own thing. There's nothing like Miami. No. Nothing like it. It's It's literally like another country. Yeah. That speaks English and happens to be connected to us. And by the way, English is a second language. But I mean I remember one of the first times I went to South Beach, which isn't like, you know, Miami people be like, "That's not all Miami." I know that, but you're walking down Collins or Ocean and you realize you've walked 20 blocks and you haven't heard English yet. Like, you hear everything but English. I mean, that's a very rare thing in the United States, right? To be walking around, you're like, "No one's speaking English here." Have you done a Spanish-speaking show down there? I have not. I had one booked and we had to redo it because of
like move it cuz of COVID, but right now I've done them in California, Arizona, and Texas. Now, when you do them, do you Do you have to prepare for those differently? Like, do you Yeah, a lot more than an English show. Do you Do you prepare your language? I've Well, first I learned how much I needed to improve. That's why I started doing the Spanish podcast cuz I realized how much it had deteriorated over years from not using it, really. Right. It's gotten a lot better. Like, my Spanish still not great, great, but it's gotten a lot better just from doing now? Would you say? would say I'm I'm definitely conversationally fluent. You know, I I make my errors. I I make like grammatical mistakes, you know, all the time and but it's still gotten better. I even started doing uh grammar lessons on a website because it's it's helped me.
Um but talking to people is the best way. Talking to people is the best way. So, do you just call your mom? Yeah, I try not to call her, but I I [ __ ] No one wants to get corrected by their mom. I say, "No, it ain't like that." And I'm like, "I'm like, just [ __ ] let's talk about something else." But I Yeah, I talk to friends. Um there's a couple, you know, like Richard Villa is a friend who's a comic who he toured in Mexico. His Spanish is excellent. I And And doing that podcast, I met so many Spanish-speaking like native Spanish speakers who speak perfect, perfect. Like, the way we speak English essentially, right? And so you talk to them and then sometimes, you know, they'll correct you. And then And it's like it's the best. You actually go like, "Oh, I wish" Like, sometimes it's an error you've been making for years
and you're like, "No one's ever corrected me." Some of the reasons why someone no one's corrected you is like, you know you speak English to somebody that speaks English as a second language. Yeah. And they'll say, "Well, we was there earlier." Right. You know what they mean. Right. So, you're you know. You don't want to cross. How often are you going to be like, "Excuse me." Right. Right. Right. there." You know, it's it's not So, I that you find that people are doing it out of almost like a courtesy. But, what you learn is when you're trying to improve it, you go, "No, I want you Right. Right. Right. And so, some people I've told have done that to me. And it's improved it. Doing the shows actually is a really great exercise in improving it. The hard part for me is that some people don't understand that, you know, in English when we do stand-up
the way that the act gets rock solid is by performing it over and over and over. In Spanish I'm doing the show like once a month. You know, or maybe four times one month and then I don't do it the next month. So, I don't ever I haven't been able to get into that rhythm of like, "Oh, it's getting tighter and tighter and tighter." So, you got to kind of be conscious while you're doing it. Oh, I'm so focused when I do it. And I I mean like it has taught me how much more I should be focused on my English act. Because I mean, I really [ __ ] study the notes. I listen to the set. I make I I'll call somebody, "I said this." And he's like, "Well, you should say that." You know, like things like that. And and it's helped for sure. But, I like I won't be able to feel like the Spanish set is solid if I don't block out time and go like, "I'm doing
the Spanish set for like 2 months or something." When we did when you took time off for the from the pandemic and then you went back, what was how many months off were you of complete no stand-up at all? Dude, I think five. Five. Five, which is a lot less than I found out some people have waited. Some people waited over a year. Duncan waited waited over a year and a half. Yeah, I did five. I remember my first setback. Yeah, you know, you had to see legs. You're just like, "Whoa, what's going on?" a a headliner set? Um I Well, I probably did a I'm trying to remember now. I probably did a couple LA 20-minute 15-20 minute sets at some of these outdoor shows. Yeah, I definitely did that. So, I did a few of those, which felt Dude, I was and they're stressful. I felt stressed. Yeah. Cuz I was I was doing all new. I wasn't doing old stuff. Oh, really? Cuz I my my
special came out in during the pandemic. That's even crazier. Yeah, it was it was stressful. And I was like, you know, like, "Eh, what else is going on?" Like, I was [ __ ] stammering. But then when I did the first setback, I want to say it was probably like I probably did like 50. Like after doing a few of these outdoor 15-20 minute sets. Mhm. But by the uh the second I was doing two shows a night, that second night, I was like, "Oh, it felt like it feels like it's been 2 weeks off." It didn't feel like 5 months anymore. I did I took off March to July, and then July I did the improv in Houston, and that's how it felt to me. Like the first night, first show, I was like, "Oh my god, do I even know what I'm doing?" Yeah. And the people were so excited to see comedy. So excited. It was crazy. They were like, "This is crazy. We're
We're out We're out We're We're We're going to a comedy club." It was So, their enthusiasm helped. Yes. And that enthusiasm has kind of stayed. Yeah. Cuz I realized I've been touring a little bit now. A lot of people are start They're telling me like, "It's my first night out in 16 months." Yeah. So, that like there's been quite like when we did Vegas Yes. That was [ __ ] insane. insane. That energy was wild. But that's going to always be insane. Those are 14,000 people shows. That's true, but I felt like it was even another level. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was real. Well, it was cuz like every This was before the Delta kicked in. So, everybody's like, "Vegas is back." July. Yeah. It was uh the week after July 4th weekend. I remember that because I worked at July 4th weekend my own shows in Vegas. And then the next weekend I went back and did it with you
and and Chappelle. That was one where two people I know got COVID that weekend. Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, "Oh, Jesus." That [ __ ] was crazy. I still remember that. I was like, "This is nuts." Yeah. Nuts. Yeah. Yeah. And it it was it felt like everything was back. It did. now it feels like everything's back, but it probably shouldn't be. Yeah. and how's that feeling? Like when I was in Florida this past weekend, last week, I was like, "Uh, this is a little sketchy." And then when I went up catching COVID Yeah. And you also I I get the sense, too, that people a lot of people are like, "Yeah, I'm not I'm not doing this again. Like I'm not staying home again." Right. And then businesses like They have to. venues, promoters, they're like, "Yeah, we will definitely go bankrupt." Yeah. And they're basically like, "Unless there's a federal [ __ ]
mandate, this [ __ ] is not shutting down." And I don't think there can be anymore. I mean, I think and especially with people that have protection, people that have already been infected, Yeah. and people like yourself that have been infected and then on top of that been vaccinated, which is supposed to offer an additional layer of protection. Yeah. Those people are like, "Fuck it." I have a bunch of gigs coming up where I've been notified by the promoters that the state is dictating you have to show up with proof of vaccination and/or negative tests. I would be fine if it was and/or. Yeah. But like New York City's the most stupid. They're doing They're so [ __ ] dumb because there's people that have had natural infection which offers more protection than the vaccine. Look, there's people that got vaccinated in July, right? 8 months ago.
§13Transcript · 101:37
9 now, right? 9 or excuse me, January. They got vaccinated in January. Nine months ago. And they they can go anywhere and do anything. And then there's people who are infected with the disease two months ago, they have much more protection. And those people can't go anywhere. You can't go to restaurants, you can't go to live shows. It should be antibodies or proof of vaccination. And really legitimately, it should be a negative test because we know that if people have been vaccinated, they still get it. Yeah, I mean the the real thing cuz I I you know, I was always pretty much like what are the doctors saying and on board with being vax I mean I you know, I I didn't do it for a while cuz my doctor was like, you don't need it. Right. But then, you know, learning about what's going on in Israel is like really the eye-opener, I think because you have
80% of the population over 12 is vaccinated. And they're like, yeah, we have record number of infections. Yeah. People in the hospital like it looks like a original COVID data. Right. And they have mostly vaccinated population. Yeah, it's crazy. And there was something recently, was it North Carolina or South Carolina where they were going over the numbers of how many more people have been hospitalized, you know, this month versus previous months and how many of them were actually vaccinated and still are getting wrecked. Because if you're again, you're nine months in. They're saying now that the vaccine's protection wanes after X amount of months depending on who you are and you know, how healthy you are. It's really going to be like one thing I think is clear is we have no idea where this thing is going, but it's definitely not going away soon.
It doesn't seem like it is. We thought it was just a couple of months ago, which is crazy. that was the end of it, man. That was And and it's clear that it's it's going to be hanging around for a minute. Well, then there's these other variants that you keep hearing about where the vaccine has no effect on it. Yeah, cuz isn't there a new There was the Delta which everyone thought that was the end all and then now there's another variant. There's a couple other ones. There's something called the lambda apparently and then there's something else. Was it the MU variant or something like that? And then there's C, there's a number of ones. C.2.6.1 Fun fun fun times. Great. Yeah. Um Who the [ __ ] knows? Who the [ __ ] knows? Apparently the company that originally made Ivermectin is working on something that's like similar to Ivermectin.
That's an antiviral treatment that you take. But they'll have a patent on it. So it'll be promoted. Yeah. But there's the other thing about Ivermectin is it's it's generic. should get royalties. That's just my own point of view. I shouldn't. It's nothing to do with me. The Pierre Kory and all these people that have been actually treating people with it. It's just what's really strange is these people that are not doctors that are super confident that it does nothing. When these doctors were treating people Mostly not doctors that have the strongest opinions about all of this. You're like Yeah, exactly. It's it's wild out there, man. Yeah, and it's that they don't care This is my my situation is a perfect example because they don't care if you get better. It's how you got better and whether or not you did what I told you to Because if it was just oh, look what he
did and he got better so quick. People would actually be asking me and celebrating and examining how I approached it. interesting that there's there's no narrative about that. No. It's just like I mean, what is the what is the What's the excuse for why I got better quick? I'd like to hear it. I literally got better with no treatments. The thing you had that other variant though, the alpha. true. Which they think was like that was the one to catch. Young Jamie was exposed um to the new variant and his his uh his immunity his antibodies are jacked. Really? Yeah. So apparently he had come in contact with it. As had my whole family. My whole family their their lines they I got their antibody tested. They're fresh. Really? Yeah. So they they had come in contact with the Delta before I got it. There was a bunch of times where everybody around me got it. I still you
know I don't obviously you never know if you would have got it but I just I really maintain that what happened was I [ __ ] up and I got drunk and stayed up really late and just wrecked myself. times on tour I've gotten sick This is pre-COVID. Mhm. sick [ __ ] wrecked sick Mhm. from a lack of sleep and just going too hard and not taking care of myself. And the flights. The flights are [ __ ] brutal. Especially on a on a go go go schedule. Yeah, if you're doing like three four nights in a row like I was in Florida you're flying every day. Yes. Flying in Thursday, flying you Friday morning you're flying somewhere else, Saturday morning you're flying somewhere else. And like you stay out drinking one night you slept 4 hours Yep. you get to the next city and you're like I'm going to rest you don't really rest you go do two
shows or whatever and then you do it again the next day. I also hit the gym every time I land. My routine is to avoid the jet lag I always go straight to the gym. I put my [ __ ] in my room I go right to the gym. That's the way to do it. That's the only way that I've ever found that kills the jet lag. Yeah. It gets my brain fired. Especially on that international [ __ ] then it's The thing to me too is like there's something about hard cardio that uh it it's always real good to do before a show. Cuz hard cardio, you know that runner's high thing? That's real. Oh. Something about hard cardio gives you this sort of like looseness. Yeah, and alertness. Yeah. Uh that's why I do it. I So my routine is pretty much now we do strength stuff in the morning and then cardio pre-show, 2 hours pre-show. Ah. And I do Do you bring somebody with you?
Yeah, I bring a trainer on the road. Ooh, fancy man. The great Shawn Nix is with me on the road. So fancy. And uh it's it's great. I mean, I feel so much better since I've done it. Uh I mean, my tour just started, but you know, he's there. We're doing looking at the food we're eating, and then you know, eat right, lift or, you know, strength training, and then I like that feeling of usually have to cross the 30-minute mark at least, and like really have a sweat going, and my brain goes from like it's here, like and then like eyes wide open, and you're like this alertness is how I like to feel going on stage. Do you eat before show? Yeah. So but now I like to eat like uh if my show is at uh 8:00, I want to eat at 5:00, maybe 5:30. Yeah. And then if I have two shows, I found that I can eat between two between the two shows if it's like real clean,
like I'll have chicken and spinach. And then I I don't feel heavy. I've done I just did, you know, somewhere between 30 and 50 minutes of cardio. So that and you did you did that pre-show, so you have an appetite worked up. The main thing is that it's so clean that you don't feel any of that heaviness. You know, I'm not like burping. It's just like it's chicken breast and spinach. I'm If I have to eat within an hour of a show or 2 hours of show, it's just fruit. Oh, fruit. Yeah. Yeah. So I I treat it the same way I work out. Like I you can't eat like a [ __ ] meatball sub and then try to work out 40 minutes later. You'll feel like [ __ ] Yeah. And that's the same way I feel about food. Getting on stage, yeah. I've done the opposite so many times where it's just like, yeah. It's a real problem if you're starving. It is.
Cuz you you will just go [ __ ] it and just go do it. Yeah, if you if you wait till you're hungry hungry, like for me it's always poor decisions. I'm [ __ ] dessert. And then I'll be like, "What did I just do?" Isn't that interesting? Like when you're tired and you're starving, like I always go immediately to fast food. That's what I want. Mhm. When I'm think when if I'm hungry and I'm tired, I am immediately thinking burritos, soda, I want fries. Yeah. Yeah, it's the worst decision. it's like as it ends, you're like, "This was a really bad decision that I made." You know, and then you're like talking and belching and you feel it on stage. Mhm. Sometimes I'm on stage just letting out the most insane farts. Oh, that's horrible. And you just look at the people in the front row. That's one good thing about theaters or being on a a a large stage.
§14Transcript · 110:17
Who knows where that's going. It's And I always thought about like holding the mic to see what it sounds like on the way out. Oh, Jesus. That's Joey Diaz. Does he do that? I've seen Joey Diaz do that before. God. He farted into the microphone. He put the microphone up his [ __ ] farted, I miss Joey. who are just like shaking their head like, "What the [ __ ] are we paying for?" I miss him. I haven't seen him now in too long. You know, Kate Quigley was Joey's opening act for a while. Yeah. That story is so crazy. For people don't know what we're talking about, um Kate was apparently at a party with three other people and they were they all had done fentanyl-laced coke. And three people died and she wound up in the ICU. Yeah, it's really scary. I heard that she's doing better. I don't know how verified that is, but I I saw
that she's doing better. I heard she's doing better, too. She's been in contact with Redman. Uh but that guy uh Fuquan died. Yeah. It's terrible, man. Well, fentanyl is a [ __ ] terrifying drug. today uh Michael K. Williams, the actor, said that he died today, man, which is so sad. we were just before you got on here, we were found out he's uh Omar from The Wire and a couple of other TV shows. died? Really? He was found in his apartment with drug paraphernalia, the police said. They didn't say what it was, but Yeah. Yeah. It's really sad. 54. If it's the same [ __ ] that's crazy. Because apparently it's going around, this fentanyl-laced cocaine. Yeah. This is um I'm you know, cartels. You know, Stanhope had a a tweet about this, and he's absolutely right. That there wouldn't be these kind of drug deaths if these drugs were legal.
Cuz if these drugs were legal, you would just be taking coke, and you would know it was coke. Right. It's like if you buy look, sure people can they can if I drank this whole thing, maybe I'd die, you know? If I drank a whole thing of whiskey, maybe I'd get alcohol poisoning and die. But at least I know that I'm drinking whiskey, right? It's If I had one shot of that, and it just happened to have fentanyl in it, and I died, that's what he's saying. He's right. He's right. It's like this stuff is laced. When when I OD'd uh in my freshman year of college, What did you OD from? I took uh well, I took ecstasy, but then I I did a big, big swig, huge, of GHB. And then I drank a bunch. Oh, Jesus. The order, though, was ecstasy, bunch of alcohol, then a bunch of GHB. But when I had the the toxicology report, they were like, you have They were
listing all the drugs, and I was like, I didn't take all those drugs. And they're like, yeah, but that's what was in what you took, you know? Yeah. Like they're like you have opiates, barbiturates, you know, uh stimulants, like everything. Like I tested positive for everything. And it was basically he was like, you know, he's like what you what you took was made in someone's bathtub, man. Yeah. You know? In Tijuana. Yeah, you don't know what the [ __ ] you're taking. Well, that's the thing about this problem that we're in right now because this is exactly the same problem that was at the during the prohibition of alcohol and people were selling moonshine, you know, they were but at least back then it was just alcohol. Yeah. potent and disgusting and but it was still just alcohol. This is the worst case scenario. You're you're buying
organized crime's version of these drugs instead of it being legal where you can get actual real drugs. It's yeah. I'm so sad for it like Michael K. Williams, too, you know, I know he did a he did a bunch of stuff like he was in tons of stuff. Always brilliant actor. But I'll I remember watching The Wire and being like this character is so amazing, the Omar character. It's like such Can't believe that guy. like brilliant portrayal. Like it was obviously amazingly written, but he was incredible in it, man. Just incredible. It was [ __ ] terrifying that that is [ __ ] But I mean even if it's heroin, yeah, that's the thing is they're they're lacing everything with fentanyl because it's so potent and so it's such a minuscule amount is so potent. Well, I read, too, that you if you're selling coke, you can stretch your kilo,
right, of coke into like three times the amount Oh, Jesus. by adding the fentanyl, you know? Yeah. So then you're then you're 1 kilo is 3. Right. And they're not like being accurate with this stuff or careful. [ __ ] no. They don't give a [ __ ] That's what's so scared That's so scary about it. It's just no there's no accountability. No one gets in trouble for it. You know? Yeah. It's nasty [ __ ] man. This is a and it's such a terrible byproduct of the war on drugs, which doesn't work. And I don't know why we all like it feels like even now the most conservative person recognizes that. Yeah. But yet we go like well this is the path we're on. Well, it's like the idea of recognizing it and then making the big change The big change is political suicide. The big change is saying all drugs should be legal.
And you know, that's political suicide. Nobody wants to say that cuz if they say that they're they're worried that you know, if you're a governor and you say we should legalize all drugs, they're like you [ __ ] hippie piece of [ __ ] My son died of drugs and and you know, they're going to people are going to use it as an excuse and you you'll never be able to win. As as as logical as it is and it is logical, it's just an untenable position to have in today's politics. But they're right. We're [ __ ] Yeah. We're [ __ ] in so many ways. We're [ __ ] with the news. I mean, come on. If if The news today is so squirrely. It's so hard to find out what's true and what's not true. Yeah. That's That is one of the ones that gets to me the most cuz I feel like it used to be not like that. Maybe we just
didn't pay attention. Maybe maybe. But it just did also just to feel like you know, our news ca- our broadcasters that did the news Yeah. just used to [ __ ] You didn't know about their a point of view. Right. Like now you know Right. This is a left-leaning guy or gal and this is the right-leaning person. It's like it's supposed to be someone like news is supposed to be objective. Right. There's no is what happened. There's no especially in the left, there's none of that. That doesn't exist. No, there's on either side really though. It's just like you know, they the even the way that they deliver the news. Like you why am I seeing your personality shine through? Exactly. It's the news. They're like, are you seeing this [ __ ] that Biden said it's like, well dude, what happened? Right. Tell me tell me what happened. Yeah. And
you actually have to really dig for that. I remember I said one time that you like the best way to consume US news is to leave the country. Like get your news from overseas where they're like here's the story. Yeah. Because it's so colored with bias in the country that you live in. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. I mean for the longest time like people were turning to RT and Al Jazeera Yeah. US news. Dude, even if when you when you go international and you turn on CNN International, it's nothing like the CNN that's broadcasted in the states. Really? Absolutely not. different hosts? 100%. Can you Can you watch that? I don't know if you can watch it here, but I've traveled and it's just like from Hong Kong and there's like two anchors that you don't see regularly and they're just like reading prompter. It's just a news story. Yeah, there's none of that here anymore.
But I think that the problem is personality is is it sells, right? Like personality Fox nailed it. Yeah. They they really changed the game with it. When Ailes built this you know, created that network and was like give me these these personality like and that did crazy ratings. Then you have the competition going, we need to do that too. And then it just became something that took off. Fox figured out the Fox figured out the ice princesses. Yeah. Super hot Republican women that And they're all blonde. There's something about that. Short skirts. There's something about that that is undeniably hot. Like, why is that? Like, why do we like those like no-nonsense, super smart, hot blonde women in short skirts? I mean, you're speaking my language here, man. I [ __ ] love that [ __ ] There's something about that, right?
§15Transcript · 119:08
a blonde with attitude, man. Do you? Yeah, I mean, it's great. Mean ones. Mean blonde with attitude with perfect toes. Oh, give it to me. There's no way that you could see their toes. Like, there's no other, you know, there's nothing like that in the male world. I do not object. I don't object, either. I'm not saying it's negative, but it's it's odd that they they figured out that formula and it took so long. Mhm. You know? But once they opened up that Pandora's Box, like, we're kind of [ __ ] Yeah. A lot of people are like, "I guess Yeah. No, they did. They figured out this formula that Well, it's it's just figured out that that's what gets eyeballs, man. Yeah. That's the problem. The problem is that's what get That's what gets eyeballs. And also, the format of this thing that you have to do for 7 minutes before you go to commercial.
Cuz like, you have these little bursts. Mhm. So, you have to catch people's attention and maintain it for these bursts where you'll hold them through the commercials. Well, so they'll return after the commercials. Cuz if they don't if they they take off during the commercials, then you're [ __ ] Because then you're not going to be able to get the the ad revenue money. Like, they they need to know that you're there. Right. So, they need to know that you're tuning in based on their personalities, whether it's Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity or whoever it is that you agree with. Well, that's the thing is that the other thing is the or hate. The people we used to watch news of like, I would I need to know what's going on in the world, right? But that was the idea of news. You you tuned in When I was a kid, it was uh Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw,
Dan Rather, right? And then CNN wasn't known as as the CNN of today. No. It was just round It was the idea of round the clock news. CNN was news that was like objective and clear. It was anchors just reading prompter, man. Yeah. And you didn't know anything about them. You didn't know which way they thought or leaned. Yeah. But now, what you're talking about is that people go, "I want to watch somebody that I agree with." Exactly. And I want to get angry with them. Yeah. Yeah. I want to get angry to get fired up about the [ __ ] that I'm fired up about and have somebody smarter than me break it down for me. Yeah. Explain to me why I'm so angry, you Yeah. Yeah, it's totally different. Like how do we pull out of that? That's the thing. It's like I don't know if people are ever going to start trusting the news again. Oh, I think that that
thing that ship has sailed, man. It It kind of has, right? But isn't that terrifying? Of course it is. Because that opens up the door to propaganda from all sorts of forms. the absolute record level of misinformation on anything. You You bring up any topic and if you go online and search for it, you can find 100 things that tell you that it this is this way or the opposite way. People that agree with you, people that disagree with you. And you have to do the work to find out who's full of [ __ ] Yeah. You have to [ __ ] work for it. And that's never been the case. No. It's not Well, first of all, there was never the option, right? Like the the The news had a massive responsibility because they were the only way you got the news. You either got it from television, which was kind of watered down, or you got it
from the New York Times or the Post or the Boston Globe or wherever you lived where you read the newspaper that you trust. Mhm. Well, then, you know, newspapers have dwindled and Well, they've kind of got a little clickbaity, too. Oh, yeah, with headlines. You know, you click on headlines that have nothing to do with the You read the article and you're like, "What the [ __ ] was that?" Yeah. And you just got hooked. You got hooked by that wordplay, you know? Yeah. You just got hooked by [ __ ] Yeah. You know, this whole situation where people saying that I'm taking horse dewormer. But wait, so is that because that medicine does have that property as well. There's a version of it that's veterinary. It's a It's an anti-parasitic drug that has been used uh for um They've used it for river bro river blindness. I think it's also
But that is So that is what you took? It's one of the things that it does. Okay. Yeah. So it has more than one Yeah, it has effect. Yeah. So what they're what they're using it for, the people that are using it for COVID, they're using it with you know what's called off-label. Where as they recognize that there's uh properties that this this drug has that would be effective, and so they try it. During times of pandemic doctors traditionally have had all these different off-label drugs to use at their disposal to try to find out what works for different ailments. So. Hm. It's [ __ ] gnarly out there, man. It really is. Cuz again, what we're talking about where it's hard to get clear information as to what does and doesn't work. Because there's clear information about what does work. Like clearly the vaccines do work, right?
Yeah. That's pretty clear. Yeah. But are they only thing that works? That's what's not clear. Because when there is some other thing that works along with it, then you have the problem with the you know emergency use authorization. Then you have the problem with the right wing versus left wing narrative. Because a lot of people think that you know, right wing means that you're anti-vax. Left wing means that you're pro-Fauci. You're like, "What team are you on?" It's become this sort of like bizarre tribal thing. Which during the time of a pandemic is the strangest thing of all time. Dangerous. Very. Very dangerous. And disheartening. Yeah. Because people also want to know your uh you know, they want to know your point of view on one thing and then you are categorized as that. Yeah. So like the the vaccine is just one example. You know, you could have your UAN
abortion Mhm. guns, electric vehicles, whatever your point. If you go out and change and then people are like, "Oh, I know who you are now." Mhm. Like you can't possibly have a nuanced point of view, which is insane because people are more complicated than that. Well, I think people feel that. That's why they enjoy these kind of conversations where people can talk openly about things. Yeah. Cuz it doesn't exist anywhere else. It doesn't exist where there's any kind of production where there's any executives or any any networks or any any any people with a vested interest or some sort of a connection to sponsors. Yeah. You can't have these kind of conversations. I I told somebody this. I forget who I was talking to on a podcast about how Remember a couple times we went to Terrence's place? Terrence Tactical? Yeah. So [ __ ] fun. Mhm. And just posting there
I saw so many people like, "I didn't know you were like this." I was like, "What? You didn't know I like to have fun? Like what are you talking about?" Like they they made it like a Yeah. You're a second amendment person. Yeah, and I was like, "I'm at a [ __ ] awesome place with nice people teaching me Yeah. a skill. It's [ __ ] great. People like, "Oh, unfollowing. Didn't know you were one of these guys." I'm like, "This is crazy that you post a video of you just being like, "I'm having a good time at this place." Well, not only that, during the pandemic gun sales amongst people on the left rose astronomically. Skyrocket. Skyrocketed. Did you ever see that the massive lines outside the LA gun stores? It was crazy. Mhm. Cuz when the [ __ ] hit the fan and the during the George Floyd riots Yeah. people started
losing their [ __ ] mind and there was giant lines outside gun stores. I know a A of people I mean yeah, it you know, a lot of people got them and I understand, but what interesting to me was that like I wasn't making a statement. Right. I was like just being like, "I'm having a great time." You're just shooting a gun. Yeah. At a range at a safe place. Yeah. That they that has experts and it's it's a fun thing to do and it's a skill set. Yeah. Man, people were like, a lot of people, "The [ __ ] are you doing this for?" I'm like, "Wait, what?" That's the benefit of not reading the comments. I don't know if that's happening. Also with me, I think they probably just assume I already am like that. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Which I kind of am. Yeah. I mean, as far as guns go, I mean, I think you should learn how to shoot a gun, should know
§16Transcript · 127:08
how to shoot a gun, it should be important. I do think proficient at it. everybody should know how to. Yeah, I go every time I'm back there. Every time I'm back to LA, I go for lessons. I went just 2 weeks ago. I was back there. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, by the way, [ __ ] great guy and great staff. They're so good at what they do in terms of like being able to educate you on how to shoot properly. Like I tighten up a lot of my little little little technical issues that I Absolutely. They they [ __ ] took me from like not having a [ __ ] clue to feeling like pretty good some of those times, you know, like Yeah. feeling somewhat proficient. I totally would credit them. I have a membership out here, too, at a range if you want to go. We could always go and tighten up and Yeah. Definitely go. It's it's a perishable
skill. It's something that, you know, it's like everything else, you really have to practice it in order to be able It has to be in time, obviously. You never want to have to use it. In times of need, it really should be something that's second nature. Like you understand how to use it. I I yeah, for sure. I I just got a grenade launcher. We should take it out. You know that's all you got? Yeah. You don't got any nukes? Not not yet. Excited about it. Yeah. I mean, in in Texas, we have this weird thing now. Here's another crazy new law. Texas has constitutional carry now. Yeah. So, I have a concealed carry license, So, I had to pass a proficiency test and I had to pass a written test. You don't have to do that anymore. Now, just because God gave you Yeah. God gave you the right. Yeah. You can just but that's which I'm
fine with if you know what the [ __ ] you're doing. Yeah. And that's not necessary anymore. That's wild. That's wild. The fact like a guy passed the test. Yeah, you should absolutely know how to use it and how to be safe and Yeah. Yeah, it's it's [ __ ] important. There's got to be a place it's probably in the state where you can go and it's like they they blow [ __ ] up. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like really blow some [ __ ] up. Oh, yeah. Dude, I have friends. Okay. I have friends that like fill refrigerators up with this [ __ ] What is that What is that stuff called? God damn it. Yeah, Tannerite. Thank you. Jamie's a psycho. Okay, he's a silent psycho over there. Uh can we go to that place? Yeah, it's Tannerite stuff. What they'll do is they'll they'll set it up like 300 yards away. Yes. There are some really crazy
videos of guys doing that and then the refrigerator door literally goes whizzing by their head at 500 miles an hour after it explodes and does almost kills them. Yeah, because they get too close. They think they could oh, just do it from 40 feet away. No, buddy. No, I'll be behind the [ __ ] cylinder thing. Yeah, you want to get a bunch of sandbags and have like a little tiny window they can shoot through. Boom, and then duck into the ditch. And even then, hope it doesn't land right on you. [ __ ] A, man. Yeah, Tannerite is wild [ __ ] You can you know, people use it to clear forests. Reach out. That's all I'm saying. I would like to do this. They put it at the base of a tree and here, watch this one. Watch this one. Look at that. Oh my god. See? That's what I'm talking about. He's way too close, man.
But look how Let's watch that again. So, he shot a fridge packed with Tannerite and the door literally [ __ ] flies by. Look how [ __ ] fast that door is going. That guy is almost dead. Yeah. And who Imagine if his little kid was right behind him. Oh my Daddy, can I just stand here? Sure, son. Yeah. As long as you're right here by the tree. It's not going to come straight at you. Yeah. Yeah. That's scary. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there's a lot of that. There's a lot of assholery Yeah. that comes with freedom. Yeah. It's part of the problem. That's one of the things about Texas that people love is that you can kind of do a lot of wild [ __ ] here. You sure can. But that's what's dangerous. You know, a friend of mine asked me to kill his zebra. What? Yeah. He's got an [ __ ] zebra that keeps killing his young zebras. Yeah.
So, he asked me to come kill his zebra. He was, "You want to kill my zebra? I got to kill it." I go, "What?" He goes, "I got to kill this zebra because the state? Yeah. An hour away from here.

Red Ash is phenomenal, and the people are so cool there. Everyone's so nice. That's like the thing that I love the most about LA, or excuse me, Austin, is how friendly everybody is. Well, yeah, I was just telling um out there that uh I've been here since May and not even comparable. I know all of our neighbors like far better than in 19 years in Los Angeles. For real. Yeah, people are friendly.
Yeah. But more like I think I say to people, "Well, you've never had somebody like wave to you." I'm like, "That's what I'm talking about." People like like take like take care of you as well. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like No, it's different. Yeah. "Hey, man, I saw this was left outside. I brought it on on your doorstep.

So, don't don't worry To lighten them up. But she's Imagine that [ __ ] that message. Like, "Okay. Okay, I'm reading this." In LA, there'd be a SWAT team in your yard. They'd be like, "What the fuck?" Armadillo problem. I had a a fox in my yard the other day. Here? Yeah, making this crazy noise. Like, You ever heard them? They They have this
weird like yelp they yell out. I forgot I uh The craziest thing with that you kind of get used to in a way in LA where the the the coyote packs. Yeah. Yeah. Packs of them. you see one like I saw one one time jogging down fountain with a dog in its mouth. I was just like just trotting. I was like holy [ __ ] [ __ ] Yeah, there he is. Did you get that fox? Like the one in your yard? No, I would never kill a fox. No, I mean unless they got in the chicken coop which I don't have a chicken coop anymore. Coyotes will [ __ ] [ __ ] up. Yeah, coyotes will [ __ ] [ __ ] up. I would kill coyotes in a heartbeat but foxes are [ __ ] cute man. They're they're they're also really playful. Yeah, there's apparently there was a baby deer in the yard and the fox was playing with the baby deer. Mhm. Yeah.
They're really adorable. They're they're such strange creatures because wild foxes will play with people. Like did you ever see that movie Grizzly Man? Yeah. He became friends with these foxes. With Foxy the fox I think. This is my friend Foxy. Remember it stole his hat? And and ran into her her little den with a hat? On when I lived on Hyperion once on the Silver Lake, we had a neighbor who had a pitbull. And one night I hear just the craziest sound. And I'm like what the [ __ ] is that? Like it's like like squealing almost. Like I couldn't make out what it was. And I look out the window. And like five or six coyotes were around the door into my neighbor's house. And the pitbull was sitting there at the door on the other side. And they were all just like Trying to get him to come out so they could kill him. Yeah, it was so crazy. And also to see
it like in a city, you know, in a city setting. It wasn't out in wilderness, you know? I used to go to this uh pet store and there was this guy who uh worked in the pet store, but he also worked in a vet's office. And they had this big pitbull come in, one of those big freakish ones. It was like 100-lb boys with a giant head and muscles everywhere. out of it. And he was cut up all over his body. And um they were like, "What happened to your dog?" He's like, "I don't know. It got outside the yard." So uh they stitched this dog up. It's got hundreds of stitches all over his body. Like he's is really [ __ ] up. They uh followed the blood and they find nine dead coyotes. So they had God tried to corner him. What they'll do is they'll have one will come out Yeah. and go, "Hey, bitch." Yeah. And then they chase him and then they flank
him and they attack him. They just picked the wrong [ __ ] This yeah. Is those things with those those giant the power those things have? Yeah. They're probably like, "What the [ __ ] did you bring over here?" Yeah. of demon did you bring here?" And he said it just looked like a battlefield. They were just torn apart. a friend with a Rottweiler in LA who it killed a couple coyotes. Those [ __ ] coyotes are bold, man. They're bold and they get hungry and so they get really crafty and they do sneaky [ __ ] That's crazy. Calabasas a couple of days ago got attacked by a mountain lion. A mom had to punch the mountain lion in the mouth to get her [ __ ] kid free. Holy [ __ ] Yeah. Yeah, let me see if I can find that. Someone just You got it already? Yeah, look at this. Mountain lion shot killed after
attacking 5-year-old boy near Calabasas. What the [ __ ] man? 10:45 a.m. causing wounds to the boy's head, neck, and upper torso. god. The mom reported reportedly fended off the lion hitting it multiple times. Boy was then driven to parents who were hospital and was treated. Oh my god. [ __ ] California law important How traumatized that kid is. Yeah, man. It's a monster trying to kill your [ __ ] kid. They will kill people. They will kill people. Like people have to understand that. Like this is not a That's not an an off situation. Like if you Your kid is alone, they'll they'll find it and kill it. 20 minutes after the mountain lion was killed, two more mountain lions appeared in the area. One was described as a full-grown adult with a radio collar around its neck. The other was a smaller mountain lion about the same 65-lb size
That's scary. In Texas, they just shoot them. Yeah. There's no laws. Like in Texas, if you have a mountain lion in your yard, you just shoot it. And they go, "Did you shoot it?" Yeah. And you go, "Yeah." And they go, "Good." Yeah. Like in California, you have to have all sorts of like depredation permits. Like if a mountain lion's in your yard and you just shoot it, you're in trouble. Oh, sure. Which is But also, if someone walks into your [ __ ] yard or house Yeah. like that's you're you can get [ __ ] shot, man. In California, there's crazy like the new uh Los Angeles District Attorney, they're trying to recall him. Mhm. He's got They're they're they're doing crazy [ __ ] as far as like what you can and can't get away with. I have friends that live in Venice that are saying like you call the cops when someone breaks
into your house and the cops can't even do anything. Like unless that person steals a certain amount of money, like if they they have It has to be more than like $900 worth of [ __ ] they won't even arrest them. I can't like some of this like I think it's Illinois or Minnesota, too, the nonsensical law about an intruder and they're like it's you as the person living in the house, you're obligated to not shoot that person or you can be Right. Like how does that It's crazy. Who entertains that as plot? Like it's not realistic. Liberals. Which of one which I am in a lot of ways, but a lot of ways I'm not, I guess. That's one That's one way I'm not. I feel like I'm definitely pretty liberal. And I definitely do not subscribe to that. That is total insanity.

Now I Now I Now I get killing somebody that's that would harm my child." I mean, you don't even blink thinking about it. Yeah, it's a different world. It's a different world when you're thinking about protecting a small child and then You look One thing that I have said multiple times that I It's a new thing as I've become an adult is I now, because I'm a father, I think of people as babies now, which I didn't used to think of. I think of like I see someone who's all
[ __ ] up, I'm like, That's somebody's kid. Even a [ __ ] like crazy homeless person is covered in dirt and lying on the ground, I'm like, "That's kid. Yeah, that's someone's kid. I get that. I would say that as a parent I never really understood disemboweling someone until I had a kid. But, if you tell me that someone's hurting my kid, I'm all about cutting them wide [ __ ] open. Whoa. You know? Jesus. And feeding them What about their taint? What are you going to do to their taint? I'll take a picture of it. Send it to their kid. Feeding it to the pigs. Yeah. Yeah. But since I mean Did you see the story in Malibu? What the [ __ ] Malibu machete attack against family cost dad an eye, two homeless suspects arrested. Primary suspect had pulled a knife on a sheriff's deputy back in April, but
liberal DA George Gascon, this is the guy I'm talking about. His office filed only a misdemeanor charge. [ __ ] crazy. Yeah. [ __ ] man. Lost an eye. Jesus Christ. really describe the fight, but it says that they were approached while they were eating if the family was eating lunch. Oh my god, they were eating lunch last Saturday at Dan Blocker Beach in Malibu when the suspects approached them claiming falsely the family wasn't allowed to be there. Argument ensued and he attacked He brandished his weapon and began attacking the father cutting his face and eye and his tongue, chest, and one of his hands. Oh my god. Yeah, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Cool district attorney. Yeah, he's the best. Well, it's it's one of those weird conspiracy theories where you know, you hear that George Soros is involved. You know, I don't know too
much about George Soros, but that's the the number one guy that these conspiracy theories point to. Is that Oh, that he's funding funds these super progressive, ultra-liberal district attorneys and and politicians and then hires or then funds someone even more left-wing to run against them. Yeah. He's a very, very rich savage businessman. I know that. Yeah. He's like a corporate raider, you know? Yeah. Yeah. It's It's crazy when someone is like that cutthroat, but also super liberal. It's [ __ ] almost doesn't Well, it's why. Why is he doing that? Is he doing it because the conspiracy theory, again, this is not I'm not saying that I subscribe to this, but this conspiracy theory is that he literally wants the demise of civilization in the west. He wants the demise of America, that he despises America, and that the way he's doing this is by by installing
progressive and more progressive, like the most progressive possible and then more progressive still. And that doing this, which will encourage crime, decriminalize a lot of behavior, and you know, you look at all these [ __ ] different places that have installed these people, like this George Gascon guy, who is people in LA are freaking out. The cops are freaking out. They're handing out um concealed carry permits in Los Angeles, which used to be impossible to get. Yeah. But now the LA Sheriff is like, look, we've got to do something and people have to protect themselves cuz the cops are not going to do anything. They sure [ __ ] do. It's weird, man. It's just such a weird time. You know, Bertie had that you know, when he he was like building a place? Mhm. And his place got robbed one night. Yeah. And the like luckily no one was there. It
was like under construction. And he said like cop showed up and he was like, what are you going to do? And they're like, what are you talking about? What do you mean what are we going to do? You got robbed. And he was like like will this be pursued? And he said they laughed. And they're like, this is LA, dude. No. You just got robbed. Does he want to stay there? I I think he loves it. I think he loves this place. Yeah. Yeah. It's spooky, man. It's spooky because it wasn't like this just a few years ago. It's like this this demise that seems like the slide has begun and there's no mechanism in place that's going to turn it around. There's nothing that I could see or imagine that would put a halt to this. And who the [ __ ] knows what's going to happen with this recall election? I mean, maybe that'll change things. Maybe if they realize that people are so
fed up that they're going to recall the governor and they're going to install a radio talk show host, which would be pretty wild. Oh, yeah. Larry Elder? Yeah. Wait, what happened with the recall election though? It's still going on. It's September 14th, I believe is the election. election. And Elder would be installed? Did you see He'll be the governor. Did you see what the LA Times wrote about him? That he's the black face of white supremacy. Jesus. Really? Yes. The LA Times has lost their [ __ ] mind. They've gone full social justice warrior. The fact that that was printed in the newspaper, that this is the black face of white supremacy. That's a wild headline, man. It's a wild headline. Yeah. It's super insulting, too. It's so insulting. It's so crazy. I don't know enough about him. I don't know enough about a radio guy, right? is.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I know that he came from Compton and I know that he's very conservative and he's one of those, you know, accountability and you know, personal accountability and figure out your life and get your [ __ ] together, but I don't know enough about his his politics and his positions on things to comment on him. God damn. But I do know that It's a crazy state, man. It's a crazy [ __ ] up state. Yeah. And the thing is like, I don't know how that state turns around. It's so massive, too. Yeah. I mean, in every way. It's geographically pretty massive, population-wise it's enormous. More people in California than in Canada, for people who don't know. Think about that. More people in the state of California than in the country of Canada. in LA than in the country of Canada. No. I think so. No, Canada has about 38, 39 million people.
Count Mexicans. Okay, you're right. And then and then economy-wise, I mean, a [ __ ] engine. That's the sixth biggest economy in the world the state is. Did you see Newsom when they were like he he kind of lost it a little bit one of these interviews where he was talking about all the great things about California. Oh, he's high on California and people are you know coming down on him and giving him a hard time. He got real agitated and started rattling off all the things that California's doing great in terms of like innovation and IPOs and like bro, you have nothing to do with that. Yeah. You have zero to do with the innovation in California. Zero to do with IPOs, how many IPOs there are. I mean, he's it's right there on two fronts. I don't think he has anything to do with it, but it is incredible the innovation that comes out of the state
§19Transcript · 152:19
of California. Oh, yeah. Well, the amount of intelligence I mean, just think about all the universities that are in California. Think about how the amount of like tech just the tech world meanwhile, they're all moving here. That's what's wild. That's where you get that big ass wild know about that Google building? I learned that. But did you know that they they started building that and people on that lakefront area were like what the [ __ ] is it cuz they built in front of like three other buildings. So now Oh, really? the Google building has like prime view of the lake and then it blocked all this. Can you do that? Well, yeah, because it was you know, it was in there. What they didn't What people didn't realize who got upset here was that you could have found that 18 months before the building started. It was in their proposal to the city to build it,
you know. And the city went, "Okay." Yeah, and it's a [ __ ] beautiful like it's not done, but it's beautiful [ __ ] Yeah, it looks like a sail. And they have there's grass terraces. is. You see those parts that come out? Is that what it's going to look like? Yeah, that's how it looks look yet, right? it like a halfway there. Imagine if you're right behind that. walk outside on each of those terraces, you know? Oh, wow. And there's grass and trees. You can jump, you can float, you can do whatever you want. Imagine if they put nets around those terraces. Oh, man. Like Foxconn. What what when will someone come along that makes a [ __ ] phone that you don't have to feel like a piece of [ __ ] for buying? What do you mean? Well, because all these phones are made first of all, like if you follow phones all
the way down to like how the minerals come out of the ground. Like literal slave labor is involved in in retaining some of the minerals and pulling some of the minerals out of the ground. Like the there literally might be a child labor with a stick that's pulling out some of the coal tar. I got to say, those kids are doing a great job. These phones are amazing. They are amazing, but wouldn't you pay how much more would you pay if you didn't feel like a piece of [ __ ] when you used your iPhone? You didn't feel like some kid has to work 16 hours a day in some factory in China. this one has no Yeah, of course you'd pay more. Yeah, for sure, right? Of course. How come no one's come along and done that? Um there's clearly too much money in the other business. Everything's always about money. I know, but it's kind of amazing. Yeah. Do you have that thing I
do this thing where I buy a new phone, but the the anxiety of getting it up and running, I'll leave it in a box for like months. Really? Yeah. I'll be like, "Ah, [ __ ] I got to like set it all up." I'll do that for a while. Well, my new thing is I don't I don't put apps on my phone anymore. Really? Yeah. Yeah, my new phone Well, I have Instagram and Twitter on my phone because I I had to post things, but I'm better off without those. I'm really better off like putting those on another phone, but for the longest time I had nothing on my phone. Nothing on my phone but a phone and it was great. Yeah. I had pictures, I could take pictures on it, I could text message. I could Google things. I remember you were posting those photos you were taking with your What was your phone? Samsung. Yeah. Yeah. The moon. Yeah. How crazy is that?
Yeah. You can zoom in on the [ __ ] moon. It's crazy. But it Someone told me there's some [ __ ] involved in that. In what? In the actual laughing. For sure there is. [ __ ] in which in which way though? Like um like that you're getting an image of the moon, but they it might I don't want to misspeak. I know that there's some there's a digital zoom aspect to it. So they're zooming in. Yeah. But is do they actually are they using a photo of what the moon actually looks like? faking you out at the end of it? They could be cuz it looks so good. It looks so good, but let's find out if that's the case. Like what is the digital [ __ ] Cuz some some many people were saying, "Dude, your [ __ ] your phone is full of fuckery." Like but is it? I don't know. I didn't even look into it. I just was drunk on the beach going,
"Look what I got." [ __ ] awesome. Yeah. I was on vacation. Yeah. I was on vacation in the Turks and Caicos, and then I started using that. So I would have to Let me see if someone's done a breakdown of I know it's called moon mode and then they say it's using AI. So once you're starting to say that, you could go, "Well, AI made, you know, it pulled better images off of what it knows the moon looks like." Yeah, see that's the thing is that the moon itself the the position like when the moon is spinning around the Earth, we're looking at the same side of the moon always. Mhm. The moon doesn't spin. Right. Right? So we always look at the same side of the moon. So moon is visible. Like they could conceivably fill in what it actually looks like. All right. I'm going to skim through this very deep dive into this where someone has gone through the whole
thing of the accusation of it. Is it an AI trick? And they're going through lots of evidence. Mhm. What is that? Is that your dad's [ __ ] Yeah. Stitched up pretty hardcore. You sure he wasn't trying to make himself a [ __ ] It seems like a [ __ ] Even where it's at. Like it looks like where a [ __ ] should be. I'll ask him. Yeah. Yeah. Do you know that there's this woman, Dr. Shanna Swan, and she is an environmental epidemiologist, and she came on the podcast and was explaining to us that phthalates, which is contaminants from plastics in particular, and that and some stuff from pesticides are changing the reproductive organs of people. And radically lowering people's testosterone and increasing the amount of miscarriages women have. And one of the ways that they find the impact of phthalates on mammals that's very
measurable is the size of their taints. Because a male taint is between 50 and 100% larger than a female's taint. Mhm. And over the course of the years where petrochemicals have been introduced into the modern environment, particularly plastics and things along those lines that contain phthalates that leak into people's food and body and water, the human taint has shrunk. And the sperm count has shrunk, penis sizes and ball sizes have shrunk. Jesus. Testosterone counts have lowered. This is all from what we're consuming? It's all from plastics. Jesus. said there's a direct Yeah, it's terrifying. What's her book called again? I have asked what her book is called a thousand times and I cannot remember, but Countdown. How our modern world is threatening sperm count. Jesus. It's a It was a terrifying podcast. She's a wonderful lady. She's
really interesting. She's really fun. She She has a thing on her on her Instagram page called the jizz quiz. Mhm. And it's all about It's like showing like how people's sperm counts have dropped. Declined. Wow. The introduction of these phthalates. It starts with a P. P T H A L, A, T, E. All plastics, though. Plastics, and some of it is from some different environmental pollutants or from pesticides. Interesting. But they're radically changing our our ability to reproduce. And also, she thinks it has to do with all these people that are confused about like their sexual orientation or their their gender. Like there's a lot of now. Which might have something to do with it. Yeah. Because if if there is like people that are like non-binary, like if there's like a direct relationship between human beings, the this these petrochemicals and these
phthalates and the shrinking of your taint, the shrinking of your penis and balls, and then people just being confused about sex overall. Yeah. Like lowering of sperm counts and then the the raising of miscarriage rates. Terrifying [ __ ] man. Yeah. That's something that there's no like I would never guess this. Yeah. Why would anybody know this? Well, when she when she sent the proposal to come on the podcast, my jaw dropped. I was just reading into all the stats, and that was nothing compared to actually talking to her. God damn. Yeah, it was scary. It's It was a scary podcast cuz you're like, "Well, where does this end? Like what what happens here? Like human beings sperm counts. very measurable in mammals. Like this is something they've known Well, is this happening in other species as well? could show it in mammals that if you
§20Transcript · 160:34
introduce phthalates into the the pregnant female, the baby has a direct reaction to these phthalates. Interesting. Yeah. We're [ __ ] Tommy. T-buns, it's not looking good, buddy. According to this article, just so you know. AI is the secret weapon. Now that we've established the moon photos from the S21 Ultra all most definitely not fake. Okay, how is Samsung pulling off the seemingly impossible? How is the S21 Ultra's 100X zoom taking a photo that best even a $4,800 camera setup simple AI. Samsung hasn't hidden this fact either in-depth look to S21 Ultra's camera technologies. Samsung says AI super resolution is responsible for producing sharper than the naked eye can see photos at 10 x to 100 x zoom. Jesus. But what does that mean though? Using AI. It only does it for like 30 things right now and I would argue like going into
this the moon to everyone in the world looks about the same, you know, depending on light sources. So, they could use that one example as a base to be like, "Where are you? What does it look like? What can we fix in a pixel to make it look a little bit better?" They're not replacing it. So, but when you're taking the photo of the moon, something's being done in the camera's technology. cuz it knows you're taking a picture of the moon though. Like if you do it it enhances it. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. Right, but in what way? Like is it the actual It might Is that actually my photo or is it some [ __ ] So, that's where I get There's some new stuff going on right now. I've been getting some advertisements for some very good AI software to fix blurry photos. Like photos I've taken 10 years ago that are blurry I can fix now and make them look not blurry.
Which is pretty hard to do. Yeah, it seems like it. You know, through manipulating some pixels it's not really that hard to do. Here it says, "Once the camera detects and identifies the image as a certain scene, for example, the moon, then offers a detail enhancing function by reducing blurs and noises. Additionally, in low-light high-zoom situations our super resolution processing is happening. I multi-frames, multi-exposures are captured. A reference frame is selected, alignment and registration of multi-frame multi-exposure solution output. The actual photo will typically be higher quality than the camera preview." That's It sounds a lot like this is a very crude explanation of what's happening in a deep fake. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So they're deep faking your moon photo with the moon. Yeah. Did you see the one where they put
me on the Taliban? You embarrassed? Yes. It's crazy. It's crazy how good it is, man. It really is. That Tom Cruise one. Oh, that one's insane. That's insane. And that guy who does the impression of Tom Cruise is amazing. That's why cuz he looks like Tom Cruise a little. So if you're taking a if you're deep faking the moon of a moon photo, are you then deep faking it cuz it's the moon? So it is the moon, right? The problem with using an Android phone all the time is that they're they're just scooping up information from you. Like everything you do gets tracked. Everything you do gets sold to advertisers. Apple is way better about that. But now Apple, this is a thing that Edward Snowden's been talking about on Twitter a lot. Apple is about to or may be considering releasing. They they they haven't done it yet, but they're what they're going
to do is they're going to be able to go into your phone to look for images of child pornography. So you'd say, "Well, that's good. I don't want these child porn people to be able to" But the problem is they have access to your photos. That means they can go into your photos and look for things. Yeah. And that's a slippery slope. Seems like a real slippery slope. slippery slope. Not only that, what if you have a a picture of your son showing his [ __ ] to you? Right. Right? Like what if your son comes in here and he goes and you're like, "Listen, you little [ __ ] You're going to think this is funny one day." And you take a picture and then all of a sudden you're in court. Right. And they're like, "Tom, why do you have a picture of your son's asshole?" And then you tell the story that you told on this podcast. Well, we think it's hilarious.
I I just laughing but he's like, "I still got a fucking" Yeah, sorry. You got to go to jail forever. Um Apple in a document published on Friday detailed how it has used machine learning to enhancements to introduce significantly improved people recognition iOS 15 including in situations when a face isn't clearly visible. Can use their upper bodies to identify people. This is just part of it so it's in the iOS 15 update as well cuz that's going to be on the new phone. Right, but that's the that's not what they're concerned with with we're concerned with yeah. This is in addition to this is part of like add that concern with things like this that this software can do already. Right, like where it already like if if I have pictures of Tom in my phone, it'll show me all the pictures that I have of you. It already has that. Yeah, yeah. I it's been doing
that on my like pictures I've taken of you from past concerts and [ __ ] People in the audience are showing up like hey there's they're in your photo five times. I'm like Oh. Wow. Do I have to can I turn this off? Like Oh. Yeah. That is weird. The the scary thing to me is the child porn thing. It's not scary that they're going to catch child porn people. That's great. I love that. But what's scary to me is like what what's to stop people from putting it on someone's phone? What's to stop someone from using that to access all sorts of other things into someone's phone? Yeah. And is that are we just going to are we just accepting that every time you take a photo the government gets to see your photos. your photos. That's [ __ ] crazy. Not only that like who the government the the problem with the whole term government is they're just people.
And some of them are awesome and some of them are pieces of [ __ ] And that's just across the board with all human beings. You can't give them that kind of power. That's where things get crazy. Yeah. And this is this is the problem that people are having with all these new pandemic laws and restrictions. It's not that we don't need to protect people. It's that you're giving people the power to to have control over other people. Like we're seeing what the [ __ ] is happening in Australia. Australia has traded in a pandemic state for a police state. Now, Australia is like it's wild what's going on over there now. Yeah. They have like camps. They take people and put people in [ __ ] camps for when they when you get caught with COVID. They're separating people from their parents. Even that that enforced quarantine when
you arrive is pretty [ __ ] wild. It's wild. My friend's girlfriend, Australian, went home. And she was like, you just get taken to a hotel. They choose the hotel. Yeah. Put you in the room and they put food outside the door. Yeah. You just get stuck in your room. you grab but they're like, if you leave the room Yeah. You go to jail. You're [ __ ] Well, you see what's going on in Paris? In Paris, they're forcing people to get vaccinated. If you don't get vaccinated, you can't go to restaurants, you can't do anything. So, people are protesting against it. There's protests in the streets. Well, some woman got chased down by the police cuz she went to a mall and she tried to shop without being vaccinated. They chased her down, tackled her and beat her. [ __ ] There's a video of it. See if you can find the video. It's crazy. These cops
tackled this woman and they're beating her because she tried to shop unvaccinated. God damn. Yeah. That's intense. Well, it's what's intense is there's no logic to it. Like what if that woman, as we talked about before, recovered from COVID and has a six to 13 times stronger protection from the Delta variant than someone who's vaccinated and they're still tackling her and beating her because they want compliance. It's not a law that makes sense. No. Because if you it's it's one thing if they said, "Look, you have to show antibodies or show uh proof of previous infection or vaccination. Yeah. Well, then you could kind of make the argument that protecting people, but really what we need is more testing. You need the ability to test people on a regular basis that's accurate. Well, definitely doing this is nuts. This it's it's a crazy video, man. Holy [ __ ]
§21Transcript · 169:01
Yeah. Well, people are protesting Yeah, they're literally like riot cops. And they hold this lady down and they're [ __ ] hitting her with sticks, man. They're beating the [ __ ] out of this lady. And it's crazy, man. This is for shopping unvaccinated? According to the tweet though, so but I yeah. Yeah, right. It could be It could be something else. That's the truth, right? Yeah, but apparently it's been verified. [ __ ] A, man. It's not taken down or anything and there's no other info with it. No, I I'm I'm 90% sure that that's what this is cuz this has been verified. They're [ __ ] her up. They [ __ ] her up, dude, with sticks. I mean, they're using those batons. It's like You The problem is power. The problem is when when you when you put in a law and you say you have to Yeah. team.
Orwellian. It's scary [ __ ] because if you put in a law and you say you cannot violate this law and then you make people enforce that law. Well, the cops are going to do what they're supposed to do. What they're supposed to do is go chase the people down that are violating the law and then Well, Those cops are ordered to do that. Exactly, which is so [ __ ] It's [ __ ] across the board. Oh my god. Yeah, it's not good. But this is what people who are libertarians and people that are very concerned about you know, past history of these kind of tyranni- tyrannical laws and draconian measures, this is what they're worried about. It's just human nature. When you tell people that they can't do a certain thing and then you have to enforce that. Well, how do you enforce it? You enforce it with force. Yeah. Yeah.
That was scary. Scary [ __ ] man. Yeah. God damn. Yeah. That's why when people say, you know, Texas is crazy for not having mandates or No, don't don't They're not telling you you can't wear a mask. They're not telling you shouldn't get vaccinated. What they're saying is the government is not going to force you to do anything. That's good. What's bad is what's happening in New York City where they're forcing people. So now you have these business owners that are like, well, I have to stay open. You know, you're you're telling me that you're not even installing a logical position. It's not even a logical law. If it was a logical law, you'd say you have to be tested to come in here because that's the only thing that really protects people. criticism on Texas is too that like by banning any type of mandate that they're basically not letting a place
say you have to wear masks to come in here. I think it's okay to do that though. I think a business is still allowed to do that. Are they? I think a business is allowed not though, right? I don't know. think a school can and then people have to wear masks when they go to school. Yeah, my kids wear masks to school. I don't think that's the case. I don't think that they're stopping people from instituting their own regulations for whatever business they have. But let's let's make sure that's true. Um I think like if you have a restaurant, you can force people to have a mask if they want to enter into your restaurant. I thought I don't know. think you're allowed to have a vaccine mandate. I think that is a different ball game. That's different. That's different. But I think you're allowed to enforce masks. I've seen places that say you have to wear masks. I've
I've gone to Yeah, I've gone to private businesses that make you have I'm Yeah, private businesses can. It's state and local places that would be differences. Yeah, but you can still do it if you want to. want to, yeah, yeah, you But what they're what they're concerned, which which is so ironic because this is the place where they're not concerned about interrupting a woman's reproductive Such a [ __ ] wacky time, Tommy Bunz. It's wacky, man. I'd rather be here, though. I'd rather be here during this wackiness. It It seems like a more reasonable whack, other than the abortion law, which is horrible. It seems like a more reasonable wackiness. Yeah, I mean, there's you It's pick your wackiness when it comes to this [ __ ] now. How do we get out of this? How does the How does this country pull out of this? I was just talking to about the the
thing that I felt like changed so much over the course of my life was that I mean, I was true that I was younger, so maybe I didn't have the right perspective on it. But I felt like it used to be that people disagreed and were like, "Well, all right." Right. And now it's it's uh you have to have contempt and hatred for who you don't you don't agree with. I think that's Trump. I really do. I think having Trump as president just broke people. And then it Exactly. Yeah, you have to pick sides and you have to fight against that at all costs. had that effect. I mean, Yeah. he he likes He's a vindictive guy, Yeah. And he likes to It'll be interesting to see what happens in 2024 because, you know, he's all fired up. At least, you know, we're still a ways away from it, but talking about running again. And then this then you'll actually have for the first time, well,
obviously, people will will be running against him who were like big Trump people, who will have to trash him. It's the nature of the primaries. Right. In terms of like right-wing people? Well, I mean, like Nikki Haley and DeSantis, who were like, well, Haley one time in the administration, DeSantis like big Trump guy, is going to be running against him. Unless Trump and DeSantis team up, in which case that might be a [ __ ] shoe-in. Yeah. Because you got to remember Biden is still deteriorating. He's not going to get better over the next 3 years. But do you think he even entertains the idea of running again? It's a good question, but if he doesn't Kamala Harris is not going to win. She's definitely not going They're hiding her. Yeah. When was the last time you even saw her talk? No, I haven't. She has the lowest approval rating of any vice
president over the last 50 years. Yeah, it's really interesting. It's really interesting because there's not one thing that you can point to that she's done that's a a tremendous error. No, people but this goes down to like that whole thing of remember I mean they they said it during the the W Bush years that I always heard the term or the expression people vote for who they want to have a beer with. Mhm. And I think it becomes like a personality thing. Yeah. I they people must strongly dislike her personality. I don't I don't know. I don't know what the reason is for her disapproval. But it's curious, right? Like why do you why do you dislike her that much where her dis where her approval rating is so low? Right, cuz there's not a thing that you can point to other than that laugh. Yeah. The [ __ ] laugh that she does whenever someone corners her on
something. She laughs at it, pretends it's ridiculous. Maybe that's it. Maybe that's it. That just goes back to personality. Yeah. [ __ ] [ __ ] I just wish there was like something that stood like some person that stood out where you're like that's our guy or that's our woman. Like there we go. She's going to pull us out of this. It always amazes me. Like even coming up in the last election where you go like in this country that has all like so much innovation, brilliant minds, amazing people that you look at your pool who to choose from you're like this is the [ __ ] pool? Right. JV squad is who we're [ __ ] picking from? Yeah. Like there's that you don't see more I don't know, buddy. I don't know, man. I don't know.

Oh boy, Tommy Buns showed me these photos that look like you got attacked by a werewolf. Lit- literally like look like you got shot through the arm by a .50 caliber. It really does. They were huge holes. When that And then when you showed me how the guy's like making your nerves go It's crazy, man. How's it feel now? Well, I'm I'm almost 9 weeks out. So, I got cleared to I can now pick up 5 lb. I can't extend still. But it seems like it's moving better than it was before. definitely better. It's definitely better.

No, we I went back to LA and filmed a segment with him where we show the photos and videos. It's going to be on my live show, my next live show. Oh, wow. we're doing live from the Paramount Theater here. Oh, man. See, that's the one I'm going to be out of town for. I I want to do one of your live shows so bad. one in November. [ __ ] yeah.

Your Mom's House live is one of the best innovations to come out of the pandemic. I think it's a brilliant idea.

Like people I can't say what it is, but people doing crazy [ __ ] live on stage that's going to be streaming live.
Oh my god. Uh music Zarface is performing live. Um yeah, it's going to be a nutty show. It's an amazing idea. And the idea is so it's beautiful that you set up this infrastructure, too, where you can have these completely live shows that people pay for. Mhm. You know, you you you you do a pay-per-view thing. Yeah, it's it's it's It's reasonable and it's a really good show and I know how much time you spend producing it and putting it you hired like real producers. We have a whole team and then for that one we we are hiring a whole second camera up team. So there'll be like a five six camera shoot and in that theater cuz it it's different when you do it like we used to do it from the studio which we'll still do again but when you do it for a live audience then you get like another level of energy, you know. It's it's a brilliant idea man
and this this is one of the cool things that has come out of the pandemic is that like when Bert decided to innovate and do a drive-in movie show yeah all these different things that have happened where people have just said, you know what? Let's figure a way around this. We adapted. It's genius. Yeah, we're really excited about it man. Well and tell people when is that?
