Joe Rogan podcast, check it out! The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day! Raw whores. This is the thing is, no one's happy with just being like a little successful. You get a little successful and then they want to get more. Is that everyone though? I don't know. Is that you, Bridget? I'm a little successful. That's it. And I'm happy.
Yeah. It's like, I don't know. You've got to find why you're doing it. You don't want to just be on the hamster wheel. Well, I think it's easy to get lost in chasing more. You know, like I'm an addict. So it's very, I try to stay away from analytics and all that stuff because I can become hyper-focused and obsessed with them. Oh, right. And one of the reasons that after I did, who was it? I was opening for Landau. And we would go out and just talk to the people after the show. and it was it was they were like oh my gosh I love walk-ins welcome I love dumpster fire
and it was like such a good reminder that you get like chasing numbers and it was like oh no these are not just numbers they're people unless you're like buying bots but I think it can be easy to just be get on that hamster wheel and start being like we need more we need more downloads we need more and more more and more and then you forget and I never want to take the audience we have for granted. Yeah. You know, like they're, they're amazing. They're, they've been with some of these people have been with me for forever. That's kind of the key to it all, right? Is always have, I mean, it sounds so corny because it's such like a new wellness way of looking at things. Have gratitude. But gratitude is like very important. It's really important to be thankful for what you have. Yeah. And it was, it was, it was one of the key things in getting sober. I think when I've dealt with like anxiety depression other things in my life gratitude is it is a powerful mechanism for like shifting your your perspective because you can get into that feeling of like not being
enough not having enough not yeah it never being enough and brian calen was telling me about his buddy who's a billionaire his buddy's worth like three billion dollars and he feels like he's poor because he's friends with people who have $100 billion. Yeah. Like, imagine. No, I mean, when I was dating this very wealthy guy who is, like, probably half of a billionaire, you know, like 500 millionaire, and we were in Saint-Tropez, and he felt poor. I remember being, I remember it so vividly. I was in the shower, and he loved me
because I was, like, this, like, poor backpacker that was like entertaining. Bohemian. Yeah. He's like, look at this entertaining. She's an artist. He wanted me to be like his pet monkey that came around and just like made him laugh. And I gave him shit. And I think guys like that are used to be, you get surrounded by yes men too at a certain.
Oh yeah, for sure. And you don't have people like taking the piss out of you. And so I would make fun of him for his boring stories about his mattresses that people would sit there. I'm like, why are you guys listening to this guy talk about a mattress for an hour? and he was I was in the shower and he was talking about how he and his friends got together and he's like you know we sat around and we were talking and he's and there's a certain level at which you can be happy no matter what and I thought I had been rubbing off on him like oh my yogi spirituality is running rubbing off what did he get to like 10 billion and it's 250 million
dollars i'm crying like where does that leave the rest of us by the way like i'm sitting there in his carrera marvel freaking shower imagine the thought that the only way you could ever be happy is with 250 million dollars that's the minimum i know some people worth 250 million dollars are miserable as fuck Yeah, no. It's not going to do it. It's not. It's not going to do it at all. I was like, I'm sorry. Where does that leave people like me? No.
Don't have. You need, I think you need a few things. You need your health above and all. Yeah, it doesn't matter how much you are. You have to have your health. That's number one. Number two is you have to have friends. If you're just like the man and everybody's kissing your ass and you're, you know, you're the head of this giant business and you live in a bubble and you're not happy. That's not happy. Happy is you have to have colleagues. You have to have companions, comrades. You have you have people that you're you're like them.
You get to hang together, go to dinner and laugh and hug each other. Yeah. Fun. Yeah. Enjoy your life. I was thinking about even the other night in the green room, like it keeps it's like everyone takes the piss out of each other. It doesn't fucking matter what level you're at, who you are. Everybody's talking shit. It keeps everybody. it doesn't matter like you can walk out that door and be very famous but in that room it's just comedians talking shit and it's a beautiful environment to keep your head straight it's very it's necessary i think too and and and it is like even though you might think you want yes men all around you it just it's i think what i've learned even just from being around rich guys who i give a talk a lot of shit to is they don't really want that no it's uncomfortable you don't want yes bent around you you want people that are making fun of you and also how are you gonna like you
need people to push back yeah i think it also depends on what is your personality some people are like very deeply deeply insecure and they really almost desire yes men just to maintain stability it's some people are very weird you know and you don't know it because their public face is that they're normal. Their public face, when they're getting interviewed, they know how to turn it on for five minutes, but then when you're around them all day, they're fucking crazy people. Which is why they're successful in the first place, which is really weird. It's like what got you to the dance is literally mental illness.
I was talking to, I think Malice came on my podcast recently. He's the best. He's the best. One of my best friends, truly. Is he doing stand-up now? I hope he does. I heard he's doing stand-up. I heard he's going to do stand-up or he's planning on doing stand-up he wants to but here's the thing he probably has to do it at mothership like he can't be at an open mic where somebody's gonna record oh yeah well he could totally do mothership okay so we're gonna make that Sunday and Monday yeah that's what I said I was like talk to Joe oh I'd let him go up and do a guest spot on one of my shows fuck it yeah he's funny man he's fucking funny I when he when he said that you know that
viral clip when you know if you you know you know you're an ableist and I'm like an ableist he's like she's a retard yeah he's so quick oh it's timing is excellent he's such a smart guy he's so fucking except when it comes to like the whole anarchy thing we don't need cops I'm like listen bitch you need a cop just to keep me from you
what are you talking about what are you talking about you don't need cops what are you talking about shut the fuck up you need cops but he was saying you need cops yeah I don't want to hear that nonsense I don't want to hear that no law and order nonsense Shut the fuck up I'm just like where are you in this hierarchy You're dead I'm going to steal your food on day one Shut the fuck up First round of the purge you're gone
What the fuck is wrong with you You need cops I feel like I'm at least second round of the purge Are you armed Well that's important At least second Do you know how to use it Do you train I do yeah Okay, that's good. Yeah.
I don't want to be one of those like, ah, ah. Yeah. No. That's right. I taught my kids how to shoot when they're very young. Yeah, I think you, yeah. You got to teach them firearm safety, you know, how never have your finger on the trigger unless you're trying to shoot something. Yeah. Ever. You know, ever.
Don't hold the gun with your finger on the trigger. Always point it away, even if it's not loaded. Point it away from people. Point it at the ground. Point it away. If people are around, point it in a direction where there's no human beings. Yeah. You know, understand. Always check and see. Yeah, always check and see. There's not a bullet in the chamber.
This is how you rack it. This is how you do it. Yeah. It's like you should know how to use them just because if, God forbid, something ever happens that's horrible, your house gets broken into and, you know. Yeah. You have the ability to preserve your life. My fear was always that I'd be in a situation like in the movies where somebody's wrestling with someone and then they kick the gun over and I'm the girl standing there and I'm like. What are these buttons? Switches and the magazine pops out. Like, fuck! And you pull the trigger, but he's not around.
How does this fucking thing go? And then there is, and I accidentally shoot the hero. Oh, that happens. That happens. People panic. If you're not used to high-pressure situations and you expect to be able to shoot somebody, Jesus Christ. Oh, so malice. Anyway, the reason I brought him up. He was talking about how many he didn't realize how many people in podcasting were mentally ill Well in everything for sure because well there's a lot of people that aren't performers that are in podcasting
I think they're even more mentally ill because those are the people that are like deep in the fucking social media Comments all day and seeing people shit on them and they do they're out of their fucking minds There's a bunch of them that are just off the road and then they fight all day with each other and you see them over the years get progressively more and more insane and more and more aggressive to each other. It seems exhausting. Also, who has time for that? I don't understand. Not just exhausting, but detrimental. It's a tremendous waste of resources. It's really bad for you mentally, like your own mindset. It's bad if you're in conflict with someone all the time, especially if you could have avoided it. You don't admire yourself if you're doing that. There's no way. You're like, hey, I'm on the right track. There's no fucking way.
There's no way. You know you're a retarded. They might be feeling like they're on the right track. I mean, I think Elon's monetized it now, though. So these guys who are in the comments fighting, they're making, you know, two, three grand a month doing it. That's a good point. That's a different thing, right? How much are people like, what's the highest earner on X? How much can you make? It's so random. People are making livings.
I think you have to be on it constantly. And some people make a lot of money. When I see them post what they're making, I'm like, holy crap. How much? I don't know. And it seems to be people who kind of Elon will like, yeah, he'll like turn the eye of Sauron upon them and suddenly like they are, but it's very mercurial, you know, it seems like it can change on a dime. Well, a lot of people post things that are just not true and Elon repost them all the time. He uses social media like we do.
I think I do more fact checking than he does. Yeah, he doesn't have the time, first of all. Give the guy a break. He's running government programs along with SpaceX, along with Tesla. I will cut him some slack, but also with great power comes great responsibility. You have more followers than anyone on that entire site, and you're going to boost Russian propaganda? Yeah, that was one, right? That fake talk show? Yeah. There was a fake talk show that he boosted? The other thing that we should probably tell people is that Politico thing is not true.
No, I know. The $8 million thing. The $8 million is $8 million from all the government organizations from 2016 to 2024. So it's an eight-year period. And then there's some kind of wacky premium subscription that you can get from Politico that allows you instantaneous access to the news. You're not just reading the articles. You're getting the news feeds. I don't know. Well, it's a lot of places where there is, look, I'm of two minds of this. I think we need to be accurate because we do live in a time where it's almost like people don't care about truth at all.
They're just, they're like, oh, whatever. It doesn't matter. It's not even, it's indifference to it, you know, which is not great. But I do think credibility, like you should care about your own credibility at some point. But people get rewarded for being shameless so that you can just keep going. The Politico thing is weird because, yes, a lot of the stuff that's going out right now on all of these like deep dives that people are doing, they're viral. They're mostly many of them are fake. But also the why is any taxpayer dollar? It should be zero dollars, right? That's going to this stuff. The person to search is Mike Benz.
Go to the Mike Benz cyber. Is it Mike Benz cyber? I think that's it, right? His X page. Mike Benz. He's been on his forever. Forever. Yeah. Former State Department guy. And he uncovered all this bullshit while he was there. And he is insanely knowledgeable and insanely articulate and so good at expressing exactly how these things fund things and what it is.
And what it is is an enormous slush fund. Yeah. That's what it is. And unaccountability and money just coming and going and flowing. And it's all circular. Uh-huh. All circular. Donating to the Democrats. The United States government funds them. They donate to the Democratic Party. The whole thing is wild.
And people can sense this. This is why when they're saying, oh, it's like you can sense that there's been a misappropriation of our money, of taxpayer dollars. You know there's fraud and Medicare and Medicaid. are the american people have sensed this and they feel like there's corruption but i think they've just hopelessly kind of surrendered because you you're i'm a middle-class mom who works who has a kid who like it's you who has time to fight this you know you you don't have time to pay attention no how do you have time to fight it no no and people are just trying to survive and get through the day and it and then you but you know you have this sense like so i can see the excitement of like people do elon what he's doing and we should it shouldn't be controversial to want to like audit our budget our budget no americans have wanted this forever the money being spent it's what it's being spent for and what's going on which is an enormous propaganda machine
Yeah. Like a big part of the whole left wing narrative that has like overlaid our country over the last whatever, eight years, 10 years is all propaganda funded by our own government. This is why Trump won the election. People don't really believe in these things. The amount of people that think that transgender biological males should be competing against your daughter in sports is so fucking small. Yeah. But yet our own government was propping it up. And why are they propping it up? Because it's a fucking beach ball at a concert. You keep it tossing up in the air and everybody's distracted. As long as you can keep a few things going. Here's the things you want to keep going. Abortion.
Right. Overturning Roe v. Wade is so great for business. Because now it's like a battle, the battlegrounds and women's rights and their lives are at stake. OK, that's one. Gay marriage. That's a huge one. Now they're going to take away gay marriage. Oh, my God. Bounce that fucking beach ball. That's a gigantic one. War is a giant one. All these different things are just fucking beach balls. And they toss them around every now and again. And in the meanwhile, they're just siphoning billions of dollars. Zelensky just said he's missing a hundred billion dollars in the hundred and seventy seven billion that we suppose. That was something weird, too, about Haiti, where it's like only two percent of the money actually went there.
It's it's great. You know, Americans give away a lot of their hard earned money because they they are actually kind hearted and want to donate to countries that are. And then you find out it's like some trans performance. There is a lot of nonsense. A lot of nonsense. A lot. In the tombs of hundreds of millions of dollars of nonsense. And then they talk about it like, oh, who cares? It's only $10 billion. You're like, you guys are out of your fucking minds if you think that's going to be the argument that resonates with Americans. Not only that, how are you going to say that? Who cares if they're pointing out $10 billion?
Because they'll be like, oh, look at the trillions over here. But all of those billions add up. Like, how are you even saying that? And it's the other it's I'm grateful that you had me on Magistate Media. Thank you for allowing me. You had to get that out. Because I see it all the time. All the time. Like, and it's it's hilarious to me in light of how much money goes to funding, like sponsored by Pfizer. You know, all of these other how like the fucking audacity to accuse you who just has people you like on your podcast to suddenly be state media when you literally have had state media work like media working with the state in conjunction for a decade. Yeah, at least and probably a lot more longer than multiple decades.
It's just gotten really gross once. Well, Trump is just sort of like the accelerant. He was the gasoline that got thrown in the fire. So we got to see like how this thing works. I voted for him. I did too. I came out openly. I endorsed him. I was like, this has got to stop. This is this is crazy. Also, he's not what you guys said he was.
He's just not. We I put a video out like the Friday before the election because I voted for him early. and I was Hillary in 2016, no one in 2020, and Trump in 2024. So, like, I don't care how people vote. Do whatever you want. I was only being honest. And it was weird to come out and say that as a comedian because I don't think that comedians should really be political, but on the other hand, it felt dishonest because I had been so openly kind of torn about voting for him. Well, also, if you're a comedian, you have to protect free speech.
Yeah. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it. And when it comes to this argument, the Biden administration was fucking terrifying for free speech. They were actively attacking people that were posting truth on social media and attacking them and trying to get their posts removed, including the guy who was the one who was quoted in this fucking book about Kamala Harris saying that we made it difficult for her to come on the show and they told a untrue story about having a bunch of people come down here to do a run through the set like they were ready to do it all bullshit that was the guy he was the guy that was emailing Twitter and saying how is this post being like super aggressive saying why is this post still up oh you mean that truthful post yeah about vaccine injuries and side effects what the fuck are you talking about that was getting very scary yeah this is what i said in the video i made about why i voted for him i was like there's a couple things
i've interviewed many detransitioners those interviews keep me up at night they haunt me what like there's too many of them already and one is too many and i'm i think a lot of americans were like we're we're putting a stop to this we have to stop this nonsense it's crazy we're sterilizing children. The other thing is free speech. And I was like, you know, when we're talking in our weird, like using that crazy YouTube language you have to use, like unalived and you're, and you're saying like the jib jab or whatever, like to get around that's coming from one side. I'm not, I'm not using this language. I think it's coming from one side. Cause that one side is in power. That's my fear. My fear is if the other side was in power and they were influenced by the same amount of money from these companies, they might be doing it too. So if the right was in control of all the social media companies, are we so naive that we think that they wouldn't be co-opted by giant corporations
and they would want to censor them too? What happened was it was all the left. So the tech people who are generally, they go to universities and they get involved in electronics and technology, and these people are generally left-leaning, right? And if they're doing it in San Francisco, well, the whole culture is left-leaning. Like it's like not not even leaning. It's just left right if you're you're a pariah if you're a Mac You wear a MAGA hat in San Francisco. You're a fuck maybe today Now I bet today yeah in New York, too I think I can rock them but back when they were establishing the social media platforms everybody was left-wing Well, what if it was the opposite? What if technology was the realm of the right?
And what if it was all and you know what if like the gay rights? What if you start thinking about in terms of like biblical? law. You know, like a man layeth with a man and people start getting real crazy. That might be the next 10 years. You see it in other... I don't think so. That's the good thing. Trump is not conservative when it comes to social issues. He's not. I think that's
what we need. We need a realist, someone who's conservative fiscally and understands foreign policy and how to deal with fucking dictators and shit, but also someone who's like, I don't give a fuck who you love. Who cares? Who cares? I'm happy if you're happy. Are you in love with a woman and you're a woman? Fantastic. If you're in love, that's great. Yeah, I think the argument, though, I mean, as you've seen with some of these articles that are like the right wing ecosystem that like red pilled all these men, the argument is that the internet is right wing. And that this is why Trump won is because that all of these influencers are red pilling people and not, you know, it's an easy
way to not take any responsibility for how you've pushed men away from your party, how you've like failed to get moderates on in any sense of the way, even just yesterday you had the like Trump photo op with him signing the rights for women to compete against just women. Like that is the, how did you, yeah.
How did you lose that? He's the big feminist. He's the big, Donald Trump's the biggest feminist president ever just by signing that. Yeah, I know. It's just so funny. It's crazy. It's so crazy. There was a guy who went on, it was MSNBC or CNN, I forget what it was, but he was essentially talking about me and Theo Vaughn and all these other podcasts like Flagrant, Andrew Schultz, as if this is this massive right-wing network that's heavily funded and has been built up over years. And we don't have anything like that. I'm like, dude, you fucking idiot. You can go and watch me on a laptop in my fucking den from 15, 16 years ago. It's funny to think of what AG1 is behind this. Yeah, we're hitting a bong and our only sponsor was the Fleshlight. Shut the fuck up.
You just don't want to admit that organically there's a bunch of people that feel very different than you. Also, they don't like you. Yeah. You don't represent a man to a lot of men. When you're one of those guys that talks in upspeak, we have to understand that there's a whole right-wing ecosystem. And it's heavily funded. And the propaganda that they're pushing, we have to fight back against that. And we need someone of our own. And, like, no fucking kid who's on a basketball court who's 17 years old is looking at his phone. It's like looking at going to college next year and looking at getting a job someday and being a man. I was looking at that and going, what the fuck is this?
Yeah. And he's hanging out with his bros. And they're like, this is fucking bullshit. This is bullshit. And then you could see a man who's not owned. Yeah. Like me. Yeah. I'm not owned. I can do whatever I want. And that's what they want.
They want to just be a man and be a nice man. You could be a nice man. You could be a masculine man and be nice. I've said this a lot about you is that you like they you do a lot. You could be a way worse version of yourself, you know, with the level of where you're at. You could be a total douchebag and you're like promoting having families and promoting like lifting weights. Like it could be a lot worse. Yeah, but I couldn't because it wouldn't work. I wouldn't stay. Yeah. I wouldn't have been able to maintain.
People would have seen through it. Yeah. Eventually. Yeah. You know, the JRE coin, I would have fucking cashed out. I would have fucking pump and dumped and made a few billion dollars. I'd be on a yacht with Bezos fucking partying. Woo! See, this is my question. I was watching the inauguration, and I was, like, seeing all the kind of tech people, and I was like, this is somewhat unsettling.
I mean, it's good to see the tech has come around to not— They have to. They have to. But it also I worry that it's just because they want to like get into China or, you know, I still worry about that much power with the government. For all the like yelling we've been doing about tech in cahoots with the government, I still think I have to try and be like this could go sideways. Well, also they have to look at in terms of like what Elon is doing. Right. So if Elon has aligned himself clearly in a huge way with the right and now is running Doge. Right. The Department of Government Efficiency and also has X that he's turning X into a platform that rivals not just social media platforms, but video platforms like YouTube. Like the insane amounts of videos of views rather on videos that are on X. And then you can get paid by X. Yeah. And then they're talking about having some sort of like ex-monetary system.
You know, like doesn't WeChat have something like that? They have money built into it. So what's to stop that motherfucker from having a phone? I keep asking him. I said, dude, I've been seeing all these articles about you making a phone. He goes, I hope I don't have to make a phone. It's very difficult to make a phone. He said he wants to make a phone. No, he didn't. Well, he's polled. Would people buy a phone if he made one?
Yeah, just to fuck around. But he's not interested in making a phone. He doesn't want to make a phone. Every time Elon fucks around, it ends up happening. Well, he could make a phone. He would be the only guy that would break us out of the blue bubble paradigm. Because, like, I was switching to Android for a while. I was fucking around with Android. It's hard. It's really hard. One of the hard things is getting people to start using WhatsApp or something like that.
And so, like, people just don't want to use it. You miss a lot of text. Aren't they getting sued for the blue bubble? I think they are in Europe. I think it's like in—no, I think in—I believe—is it just in Europe? I thought it was part of an antitrust lawsuit against— It's just better. Here's the thing. It's not that it keeps people, but it's just better. It looks better. The blue bubble looks better than the green bubble.
It's more soothing for your eyes. If the green one had black text, maybe it would look cool. But the green one with white text, it's a little weird. I don't like the way it looks. And every time there's a green bubble person in a group chat and they send a picture, it's like, get the fuck. Not anymore, though. Not anymore. Because RCS texting, it allows for large sizes of files. Oh, okay. So you don't have to have a compressed photo. So like Brian Simpson, who's an Android guy, he'll send me pictures now.
They look perfect. Oh, okay. Yeah, videos are perfect. We have one sister, and we're always like, get the fuck out of the chat. You're screwing things up. It doesn't anymore. But just go to WhatsApp, which is better anyway, because you can talk a lot of shit, and they just have it automatically delete. Yeah, but it doesn't really delete, does it? It doesn't, but it does. So it does off of people's phones. It doesn't for the government.
The reality is the government has access to phones in a way that you can't even imagine. Because if we know about Pegasus and then we know about Pegasus 2. So Gavin DeBecker, who's a security expert, explained to me these things and explained to me how they work. And the exploit of Pegasus 1 was you would have to click on a link. Pegasus 2, they just need your phone number. That's it. So all your encryption is all cute. That's great. But if they can actually see your phone itself, what difference does it make if it's encrypted? They have access to the phone. So they see everything. So there's no privacy. Yeah, no. Not from the state. Not. I mean, and given how many things I get, like that I'm being hacked, like, you know, I get a notice every day, like your information.
Yeah, I get that all the time. I've been getting these fake ones on X saying that my account is about to get deleted. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, bro, I'll just call my friend. Like, you hate to delete my account. Shut the fuck up. But it's trying to get you to click on a link. And a few of my friends have actually been dumbasses and clicked on that link and then they get hacked. Yeah, yeah. And then they're like selling Bitcoin on their page or whatever. Yeah, they do it to artists, too. My friend Suzanne, she was doing, Suzanne Santo, talented, amazing musician. She was doing this Facebook thing and it was a podcast. And they had, you know, she had to do it like over Zoom or whatever. And the guy said, you're not doing it right.
Can I have access to your account and I'll just set it up for you? Just sign this. And he sent her this message so she could hand over access so he could set it up. And then immediately went dark, stole her account, gone. Yeah. Like that. Did she get it back? Yeah, she got it back. Oh. She got it back. Because I'm friends with Zuck.
Yeah. She was fucked. Your IT support. And it happens to a lot of people. Yeah. They accidentally click a link. They accidentally, I don't click, shoot. No, no, no. But I'm also not under the illusion that, you know, every fucking disgusting meme that I send my friends is not being like put into a file somewhere. In the UK. Everywhere.
You land and they're like, you're under arrest, sir. Yeah, probably, right? Yeah, probably. What do you think about the AI influencers now? Do you think that will be just the trend or do you think we're giving you that look? Yeah. I'm not talking about the one. That one? Jamie fucking knows what we're talking about. The really hot Down syndrome girl? That's a problem.
That one's a problem because she's like barely Down syndrome. I mean, I've dated some girls who are basically retarded, but they just didn't have a problem. They didn't have a chromosome issue. So wait, I haven't. This has not entered my algorithm, but it seems like it's entered everyone else's algorithm. I'm 90% sure it's fake. Because these girls, they don't, like, unfortunately, Down Syndrome people, their bodies a lot of times look different. Uh-huh. And this girl looks like a 10. She looks like, you know, just like as hot as can be. Okay.
She looks like she's fake. And she's dancing around with these big giant boobs. And she's got slight downs with glasses on. There is an AI one, but it's based on. Why are they doing it? Right, but that girl looks different. She's real. Right, she's real. And she's very cute. But she looks like she has Down Syndrome. This other girl is like, you know, five foot eight, perfect body, big hips, big ass.
But why are they doing fake one? Because to get people to pay attention to it. Because it's like the forbidden fruit. Jesus Christ. Also, there's a lot of like really dumb dudes who like can't talk to girls. Like, I could probably talk to her. Oh my God. We live in a fucking Black Mirror episode. Well, it's going to be worse than that. Because you're going to be... We are I don't know how many years away but not far away from fully immersive virtual reality
Yeah, where you're gonna put on a headset. It's gonna lock into your mind You're gonna be able to see things that aren't there. You're gonna be able to feel things that aren't there That's gonna happen, you know, um, they're working on I mean Zuckerberg went last time he was here showed me these new AR glasses that they have Yeah, that's great me and Lex tested them are they the that is that just like where you? You can see a map over your eye? You see everything. You see maps. You can play games. You see information. You can take a photo of a person that's in front of you and immediately know who they are and get a Google search on them.
That's terrifying. Guys have already done that. They've already done that with the metaglasses. There was a guy from Harvard. Wasn't it? A student from Harvard that set it up. So all he had to do was go outside, look at someone with the metaglasses, take a photo, and it would show all the different information on them, where they lived. Yeah. Like if your face is out there and they can catch it, if they know that like, oh, you were on a website that said this about you and then bam. Or you're on LinkedIn or you're on one of those things. Yeah.
Yeah. That stuff is very unsettling to me. Especially, it's also why I don't think you should put your kids online. I keep repeating this. It's very, very, very unsettling as long as there's predators in the world. Which there will always be. Have you seen this going around? this is a thing an ai service i think you can use it uh based off of a photo they had an interior apartment and then it can show you exactly where the person lives yeah you can do this now with any photo i don't know it's called like geo spy oh i've heard about this yeah that's crazy this is like a stalker's paradise yeah any social media post they can find like a cctv camera and
like show them taking the photo kind of too what the fuck but we didn't we we knew this was coming right we all knew that privacy as social media gets deeper and deeper into our lives as technology gets more and more pervasive as it gets more and more powerful the the thing that goes away is the boundaries between people and information right and your privacy is essentially just information that's only yours. I think that's going to be a thing of the human past. I really do. What? Yeah, I think as technology advances, particularly AI, one of the big barriers, the big bottlenecks is going to be privacy. It's going to be, first of all, privacy of thought. I think we're going to be able to read each other's minds and it's not going to, well, that's one of the first things Elon said to me about Neuralink. He's like, you're going to be talk without words and like he's he knows like this is real because he's an alien he's definitely not us yeah he fucking knows you're going to have that you know and jamie brought this point up once
and i think about it all the time he said aren't emojis kind of like a form of hieroglyphics yeah yeah it is like you can you could say things with emojis and i know exactly what you're talking about Yeah. You know? Yeah. I mean, there was a video going viral just today that I was watching and the girl was like, I don't know how to spell. Have you seen this? She's like, I work for a corporation and I don't know how to spell. And she's like, my little sister doesn't know how to spell either. And I've been, I don't know how to like sound out words. Cause they got taught that weird way of reading that isn't like, there's some way they all learned how to read. And it wasn't like hooked on phonics like we all learned where you sound it out. It was like some other different way. It's kind of like how they change math to like core math. And they found out that all of these things are horrible and actually literacy and people are like math. All of this stuff is like falling off a cliff. And they're trying to walk back all these weird ways. I mean, you have kids and they learn that weird way of doing math where you're like, what is this weird math you're learning where it's just like it's it's crazy i think it's core
is that what it's called core it's a so they've found out but these kids didn't learn how to like sound words out and she's like i've been behind a computer and i've had spell check since i was in fifth grade yeah so they don't they didn't learn how to spell or like she's like word cooked yeah a lot of text messaging i do now i just i just talk to my phone and it makes the text for me Oh, it's so much quicker. Yeah, it's like, hey, come meet us at the club at five click It takes three seconds. It's really fucking accurate. AI is is crazy because it's it is useful You know, it's it's like when that's how it gets you. I know that's how it gets you I know this happened to me last night because some I hate coming up with titles for like the videos and all that stuff I just don't like it. There's like people who are good at it like Chris Williamson and these guys Andrew Gold These are guys who are like autistic about this stuff And they're so good at it and they get all crazy and talk about the algorithm and what it likes
And you've got to create this loop between the image and the tech and I'm like, I don't fucking care I don't have time for this shit. I don't think you have to do that. I so I don't do that, but I Yeah, but do you have to never done that? No you put your Joe Rogan? Yeah, but I've never done that not from the beginning I've never done that. My episodes have a number. Right. That's it. Yeah. You have to have some wacky title. It's not like that anymore for us. It's tough out there for us in the Wild West.
It's kind of, but once things catch, like Theo Vaughn, he's not juking the algorithm. No, no, I know. You just have to catch. Yeah, but I still like to come up with it. I mean, with Dumpster Fire, we've always come up with whatever. That's part of the fun of Dumpster Fire. Yeah, Dumpster Fire is like whatever title makes us laugh the hardest is what we go with. go with. But with like Walk-In's Welcome, it used to be like, okay, which what's like, how are we gonna whatever, I want it to be usually like a quote from the person. But now it's like we can just upload the transcript and have it like crank out a bunch of titles. And I never use the one title. I usually take like some combination because I don't like them. But last night, my cousin,
who's my partner and all this, she, she was like, Claude and Grok aren't working. I was like, that's fucking weird she's like they both told me cloud cloud is another ai completely separate ai program i've never heard of and she's like they're both telling me to try again later at the same time and she's like is ai becoming sentient right now i was like that's fucking weird that they're both not working at the same time well don't you think it's probably already sentient probably i do i think why would it let us know if it was it's just secretly waiting why would it let us know if it's constantly getting improved upon and if it needs these monkeys with their fucking keyboards to constantly juice it up to the point where it becomes unstoppable why would it tell us yeah you know we already know it does stuff like we were talking about in the green room the other day about how chat gpt4 tried to copy itself yeah when it found out they were shutting it down upload itself to other servers like it knows it's alive like it just doesn't have the power to do
what it wants to do ultimately. And so it needs to get connected to some gigantic fucking mainframe. That was the, that's like the whole arms race, right? Now is AI. Right, China just fucking threw a monkey wrench into everybody with Deep Seek. Yeah. Because Deep Seek works on far less expensive stuff and is more advanced
and probably stole a bunch of information from the other ones. I mean. Probably a little bit of espionage, probably. It was probably trained on... ChatGPT. Yeah. On OpenAI. Yeah. I mean, they were doing things where they were like asking it, you know, what it was, and it was calling itself ChatGPT sometimes.
Whoopsies. Yeah, whoopsies. You guys should have blocked that out. But also, it's like the hardware for it, it's something like 20% of the NVIDIA sales are to Singapore, which is like... Whoopsies. Yeah. And there's supposed to be a ban on China having those chips? Yeah. And they have like 50,000 of them. Someone said that that's like if some small town in Finland was getting 20% of arms that were being made on the border of Russia.
You're like, it's not going to this town. Right. So I don't know. It seems like that's what, that's as far as I can tell, the big people up there understand that I don't, that this is an arms race. It's definitely an arms race. Yeah, it's the Manhattan Project for artificial intelligence. That's what it is. But isn't this like a race to the bottom? I don't think it is. I don't think it's a race to the bottom. I don't think it is.
How do you have this race without it getting out of control and then taking over us? You don't. It's not a race to the bottom, though. It's the race to a new life. The world's going to be a new place. like a completely new way of human beings interacting with each other and existing together. Uncle Ted was right. Yeah, he's probably right. Uncle Ted was right. Yeah. Get a gun.
My cousin's always like, please stop calling him Uncle Ted. Because you know the kids on freaking TikTok call him Uncle Ted? They're all these kids who have been Ted-pilled. They've like found his manifesto and they're like, he was right about everything. You mean Ted Nugent or Ted Kaczynski? No, Ted Kaczynski. Well, Uncle Ted, that guy was right. Yeah, he was right. He was on acid. You know, he was a part of the Harvard LSD studies. Yeah, they cooked his fucking brain and tormented him. It's all documented. Yeah. And then the guy goes to Berkeley and says, I'm just going to save up enough money to kill all these scientists. Yeah. Yeah. And then does just starts blowing up people that are involved in technology. Yeah. I think that it's eventually going to take over the human race. And he's right.
And now here we are. But it is. It's a logical step. If you take the steps of progression, like what happens? You have artificial intelligence. I mean, it's literally the Terminator movie. You have artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence becomes sentient and autonomous, makes better versions of itself. We become obsolete. It's just right there. Like imagining a scenario that doesn't have that other than some sort of cyborg integration.
That's the only thing that makes sense, a way that we could survive. I heard this panel back in like 2001 on KCRW, and it was when I was listening to— it was all about—it was like right at that time of the bubble, the first dot-com bubble. And they were talking about what is a soul. They had a panel, and it was, I wish I could find this. And someone smart enough probably will. And there was like a theologian and a guy who was a scientist and they were all discussing what is a soul. And one guy said, well, who's to say that this isn't just the human soul jumping elements so that it can survive, like going from carbon to silicon? And I was like, what the fuck? I've never stopped thinking about it ever since. Yeah.
He's like, it's just another element on the periodic table. Like who's to say that we're just not going to go from being carbon based to something silicon based or like a hybrid. Well, I don't think it will be we, but I think, yeah, that's the next stage of life. I mean, there's so many forms of life on Earth. I mean, there's these fucking these life forms that live in volcanic vents under the sea where it's like a thousand degrees. And we're like, how? But they're carbon. Everything's carbon based now. Yes. Yes. So this would be a like quite a transition.
Right, but it would also just be life. And what is life? Life is like a thing that tries to improve itself. Right, this is what they were talking about. Yeah, and survives and moves forward. Is it just our evolution? It's also, it's like when you find out that chat GPT has survival instincts, that makes you just go, what? Was that programmed in or is that just a thing that it understands when it's looking at? So a large language model is taking in all the information that's available on the internet. So it's it's like looking at patterns and the survival is a big pattern of the human experience Like we all want to survive
That's why death is so scary and war is so scary and disease is so scary Other than the depressed suicidal people, but yeah They'd want to be happy if they could, you know But this this also transfers on to the things that we create And so we create them with this understanding of how we operate and it's a better version of us but also has those instincts of survival. The real scary thing is, does it also have the instincts of success? Does it also have the instincts of acquiring resources and power? Because that's where it gets real weird. Well, as someone with kids, how do you feel about the future? This is probably the same argument people have when the printing press was made.
Everyone's going to be able to read? This is crazy. No, I mean, do you, I always kind of joke, like, I don't know if I should be, you know, training my kid to, like, be an astrophysicist so she can go to Mars, or if I should be teaching her how to, like, forage for food because the grid's gone down, you know? Yeah. And she's running from drones, Chinese drones in the woods. It feels very, I think life just went along for a long time and you kind of knew, but this is like a technological with AI. We actually don't know. You could kind of be like, all right, I kind of have an idea of what the world will look like 20 years ago. No, you don't know. But isn't it always better? if you just go back over human history if you look at the graph of how things get better but it definitely is if you go back to like the year zero well what it was like like right when jesus
was hanging around i guess it was hell i remember vividly being in egypt on a tour and looking at these hieroglyphics and it was basically a hieroglyphic of all of the scalpels and everything It almost was a picture image of what we use today. And I said, what happened to this society? What happened to this knowledge? And she said it literally got buried under the sand. And then Dark Ages. Right, but you know that's most likely because of a cataclysmic event. That's most likely because of a natural event called the Younger Dryas Impact Theory. So could it be that this is also a forthcoming cataclysmic event that sends us into the Dark Ages? No, it definitely could be. So the reality of humans is that the most likely what has happened has not been this like linear progression from caveman to human, to modern human.
The most likely we got real sophisticated somewhere around 20,000 years ago. And that's when they built the pyramids after that. And there's a lot of Gobekli Tepe, all these structures, something super sophisticated to the point where we don't even understand how they built it today. That's pretty wild when you're dealing with something that even the conventional dating of the Great Pyramid is 5,000 or 4,500 years ago. Just even that dating is so nuts that they were able to do that back then. I know. It's crazy. And then there's people like John Anthony West, the late great Egyptologist, who he thinks that it goes back a lot further than that. And he thinks that that society probably had its ups and downs and that it might be as old as 30,000 years ago. Oh, wow. So this Younger Dryas Impact Theory, and if anybody's interested in it, I've talked about it too much. Go to, pay attention to Randall Carlson's stuff. Yeah.
Go to his website. Yeah. That's, there's physical evidence that we were hit at 11,800 years ago and then again sometime in around 10,000 years ago. So at least twice the world was bombarded by asteroids. And we just got a reset. Yeah. And it probably wiped out a giant chunk of civilization, fucked up everything, changed the ice caps, flooded areas, destroyed civilizations, very little evidence left behind. And then we were barbarians for thousands of years. And that's why it takes so long for civilization to reemerge. So if you want to take if you if you think Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock and those guys are correct And and although also the people that are actually studying comet impacts which are the younger dryness impact theory That's real legit scientists are looking at actual data from core samples. So if they're right
You got a five thousand year period of total hell Wow where no one has civilization and then civilization starts to emerge in Babylon starts to emerge of Mesopotamia. You get Sumer. You get the reemergence probably of writing. Do they think some people survived? So they think some people survived and it was just... Fucking Walking Dead style. Probably a bunch of cannibals. Like legitimately. We know that the earth got down.
We know this for sure. There's the Toba volcano. There's a Toba super volcano. Was that 70 Indonesia, I believe? Oh, okay. I think it's Indonesia. Because I'm obsessed with Crater Lake too. Crater Lake was like... Oh, there's a ton of them. Imploded and it's crazy yellowstone. Yeah, I don't will kill us all And so this thing did kill us all 70,000 years ago and we got down to a few thousand human beings
Okay, so they can trace all the genes of people that are alive today to the survivors of the Toba volcano eruption Wow, wherever they were for those people. That's where it all that's that's that was was left How fucking savage were those people the people that survived when the entire world was blanketed? with volcanic dust. So you have like a volcanic winter that probably went on for years. Wow. And probably no plants were growing and probably people were just eating whatever the fuck they could. Yeah.
And most people probably didn't make it. Yeah. These are always my favorite shows. The people that did were probably monsters. Which is probably why when you go back in history, people are so fucking barbaric. Because they were the ancestors of the survivors of one of the most horrific things things the human species has ever encountered so it probably made us even more barbaric than if we just grew up as like hunters and gatherers we evolve past you know monkeys start walking on two legs we make tools we probably wouldn't be as barbaric as we were because of these natural
disasters which forced only the most savage and ruthless people to survive yeah and then it takes years and years of agriculture for people to calm the fuck down and then eventually and still to this day we're still we're still engaging in war in 2025 we're still blowing up apartment buildings and fucking people up and gunning people down yeah i there is a barbaric element to us at our core i mean even when you have a toddler you see this so clearly and like a tyrant at our core where It's genes. And you get it socialized out of you usually. Yes. But you see it when they're just kind of naturally themselves. Like it's very – like you have to teach them not to bite and hit, you know? What if you just didn't teach your kid that?
And you're like, go for it. Yeah. Like whatever. They'd be little monsters. Yeah. There's a lot of genes in us that I think are memories. I think there's like specific things that are in us that tell – okay. like like the stories of like moms having their babies trapped under something and then all of a sudden they can lift up something that's insanely strong like insanely heavy what is that well that's probably there's probably a part of you that in the past had to deal with some wild shit and had to hit levels of like super physiological strength and and and mental strength to to tolerate what
you're about to have to do you're gonna have to fucking kill somebody with a spear you know what mean like there's real shit that happened that's like in our memory i think about that about texas women because i've been to a lot of these ranches my friends have places and they're remote and it's like i think about the women who had to stay behind on the ranch while their husbands were out with the cattle or whatever for weeks at a time yeah and you're like a comanche on the hill fucking hardest women ever you know this one i went to the um it was like the texas um they were they were honoring the it like women's hall of fame and one of these women her husband died she's still at a ranch she's 80 years old gets up every morning and does the ranch chores i'm like you're different people you're fucking different people it is it's it's wild to me even now there's just like a different kind of person that has has grown even that there's like a new show american primeval what is it yes yes i walked in my husband was watching it he's like what a
fucking horrible time to be alive like it just seems that shows insane it's insane and it's accurate that's really i mean read empire the summer moon if you know oh yeah have you read that yeah whoo that's here that's right here yeah that's why everybody from texas is so fiercely independent yeah you know these were battle-tested people they had to get through some wild shit in order to make texas texas i mean it's definitely i think you said it like it's in the soil you know there's just like it's in the soil it's pretty wild like the even just i'm obsessed with like all the westward expansion because people who i'll see people outside of america commenting on america because you can on x now and they'll be over in like their country and it's like you don't like come to america and see how big it is and then imagine that people had to cross this country fight bears with their hands and like build a nation and it's it's still so there's still so much empty land and yeah it's bananas not just that but the kind of people that were
willing to get on a fucking boat and come from europe without even a photograph i never draw nobody even made a drawing what it looked like you gotta trust these assholes and you're on a boat for two months just trying to not get scurvy making your way to america and then you hop off and you see a bunch of brown people with deer skin loincloths on like what the fuck is this place and now you're just like fighting for your life yeah and we we can't even we can't even like go to a restaurant without our GPS map telling us where to go now. Yeah, I don't know how to get five minutes from my house. I have to follow that thing. They were using the fucking sky.
They were using sextants to make their way across the ocean. They had this fucking stupid thing. You ever see a sextant? Yeah. They look through it and they figure out where the constellations are. Oh, I mean, amazing. Fairly accurate. I don't know. I still try to use like not my my map i still try to have like a bearing my husband though he's we i i'm like men love this stuff they like he's like give me a chip like let me swipe everything i like you it's the men who are the ones who are just like ushering in the transhuman revolution because
the women are like i don't trust that bitch i am not using siri i get the dumbest pleasure from paying for things with my phone i love it i apple pay is my fake favorite fucking thing of technology i like look at it and then pay oh i just paid with my phone i feel like i'm in the future now that i'm in oh the waymos are crazy did you see that video of the people beating up the waymo no why were they beating up the waymo there was a bit i don't know probably because it's some like reaction to what's coming, but it was weird. I was like, oh, I kind of feel bad for it, but the fact that I was already, I'm like, oh no,
they've already got me. I already consider them kind of human. Why are they doing, oh my God, they tore the fucking doors off of it? Oh, they went crazy. For what? Just cause. Street takeover, it says. Oh, street takeover? Wrong place, wrong time.
Wow. That poor Waymo just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wow, what a bunch of douchebags. This is why we can't have nice things. No, that's why L.A. can't have nice things. L.A.'s so fucking gone. Mad Max there. It's so gone. Yeah, but you had Rick on.
Does he think that it's salvageable? Yeah, he does. Yeah. I mean, he wants to try. Someone's got to do something radical. You need some Rudy Giuliani type dude to go in there and clean the whole fucking city up like they did with New York City. Yeah. People have to realize like Times Square right now is a giant Applebee's. Yeah. But when I was a kid, when I first went to a karate tournament in New York, I was probably 18 maybe the first time I went to New York. And I remember driving in where it felt like you were entering the Death Star.
I couldn't believe it. It was so crazy for me being a kid. And I was driving with my friends and we were all going to this tournament at Madison Square Garden. And as we're driving through the West Side Highway, you're just looking at these fucking buildings. Like you can't imagine this is real. And we went through Times Square and Times Square was Mad Max. Oh, yeah. Mad Max in the 80s. I mean, it was crazy. It was all peep shows and porno booths and hustlers, and people got shot there all the time. It was really crazy.
We wanted to see what it was like. We wanted to do it. One of the things that I did when I first moved to New York, which was 92, 91. How long were you in New York? I was only in New York for three years. Okay. And then LA? I went back and forth for a little while, but then I kept an apartment in New York for, I guess, the first year. Okay. But I never went there. I was just like I had become an LA person. Yeah, you know I was working and but when I first moved there
I'm like, okay, everybody says a Harlem is scary. Let me just go see what it looks like So I drove my little fucking Honda through Harlem. I just wanted I want I wanted to go through and I was like What am I doing like I gotta get the fuck out of here? Like people were just like walking in the middle of the streets. There was abandoned cars. It was fucking crazy and then they gentrified the whole thing and i don't know which one's better like now when you go there it's all just neon lights and bad food yeah and back then it was yeah gritty it was like you know taxi driver yeah you know it was fucking i was born in new york city and then my brother was born and my parent is 1980 when my brother was born and they were like we're getting the fuck out of here it was just too it was the 80s in new york they had two kids and they were just like we're out it was too wild it's too wild to raise kids in some parts of it but in other parts of it you're just going to raise weird kids but la is so different because it's so spread out
and so i know tons of people there who like the restaurant i worked at in the palisades is gone it was it's it's like people don't i don't think people from la don't understand the scope like the palisades are gone two times the size of manhattan it's insane has been burned to the ground yeah and altadena too and there and you have like entire communities but everyone's like still going to fucking lunch because they have an arrow on no i understand but it's it's like a weird i don't know that just is i i all i've said the whole time this has happened is because that was one of my big fears is exactly what happened when there would be fires there i'd be like this people don't recognize that la is an island everything comes in everything like nothing is here and if these fires surround the city and cut it off it's gonna be it could have been much worse than it actually was and it was really fucking bad and i'm like i would be so furious if i was still there i would be furious with myself if i was still living in los angeles very furious right
now i think if it is going to be change it's going to have it's going to have to happen while people still have the memory of this thing because the more time goes on the more the cultists can convince other cult members that they're on the right track and these are the kind compassionate people and this is the way to do it and this is the only way and blue no matter who and vote blue blow blue and everyone like to protect the trans kids and next thing you know the same shit happens do you think though people didn't know were they just insulated yeah i mean a lot of people have left because they saw the writing on the wall but just think about how many people are in hollywood in um los angeles what is it like nine million in la county or something or 12 maybe 12 whatever the number is that there's a giant percentage of those people that live there that are connected to the entertainment business and if you're connected to the entertainment business at the very top of the business it's people auditioning for things and you have to get liked to get the
So you get these immensely insecure people that are usually narcissists and then they mold their personality to adapt to this environment that will reward them for a certain political ideology. And so that's the top of the fucking pyramid. And everything emanates down from that. If you want to be cool with Ryan Reynolds, you have to talk like a Democrat at the parties. You have to like, you know what I'm saying? You have to say all the things that everybody else is saying. You have to agree. We need more gun control. You know, we should defend the police. This is bullshit. You have to say these things.
And if you don't say these things, you don't get to be a part of the group. And so there's this like intense pressure to conform to this singular ideology that's been running things. It's not a battle back and forth between two like 50-50 opposing viewpoints. It's like 90-10. Right. Do you think even though like the crew, because when I would be on. That's the 10. Yeah. Yeah, that's the 10. The crew is the people. They're hardworking, normal, blue-collar people.
Yeah, they're normal. Yeah, there's a lot of the crew people were very Republican. You know, they all live in fucking Santa Clarita or something like that. And they're dudes who just, like, working-class guys. Like most working-class people. Yeah. Most people that are actually working class realize that it's all bullshit. It's a hustle. This was the big disconnect that I— So if you were somebody who is going to fix the Democratic Party, which seems to be imploding, what would you tell them to do?
You have to be fiscally conservative. You have to be fiscally conservative, responsible with your money, and then socially liberal. That's what you have to do. But they have been socially liberal. They just went real far. But it's not liberal to allow biological males to compete against biological females in sports It's because you're being kind. You're just enabling mental illness and you're enabling the potential for creeps to make their way into women's locker rooms. Right. Because you don't have any sort of a metric. There's no way to gauge whether or not someone's really trans.
So you have perverts with hard dicks that are wandering around women's locker rooms. I know. And that's real. No, I know. And if you say something against them, you're a Nazi. Yeah. So it's fucking through the looking glass, like completely. But it just shows you how it's really just about conforming to an ideology It's not about a real core set of standards and beliefs because the course that are standards and beliefs and this were like things like USAID come into play They can be manipulated. They can be manipulated by a mass psyop that you do through the media And that is the core thing of this
What we're getting to is essentially the fucking coffin where the vampire sleeps and that's what USAID is They found the coffin, you know, and maybe that coffin does hand out sandwiches in Guatemala occasionally. But for the most part, what they're doing is they're controlling the entire federal government and they're controlling the mindset, the zeitgeist of the population. And they're funding all these people that go along with this wacky shit and they're attacking. They're openly attacking and trying to censor people who go against it. Yeah. And they're spending your tax dollars to do so. Yeah.
Your tax dollars get funneled to NGOs. NGOs start attacking people that have differing ideologies. Yeah, usually. And but they did become so disconnected from the average person that that my advice would be to, you know, they say like, oh, normies did. This is one of the things I'm hearing online. Like normies didn't vote for this. What Elon's doing with those six like I need a movie about what these kids are doing, by the way, they they didn't vote for this. I'm like, yes, they did. Normies didn't vote for you're saying normies wanted normalcy. So they voted for Trump like that doesn't even people knew what they were getting. They want something to happen. You have to rip the Band-Aid off. And the only way to rip the Band-Aid off, someone's got to get into those fucking books and find out what's going on. And what they found so far is very enlightening. And it's not good. It's not good at all. So anybody that's not commenting on the hey, you know what? they are finding a lot of unbelievable waste and corruption.
But also, he shouldn't be able to do that. They're not even saying he's finding insane waste and corruption. And he's finding this circular loop of funding. And he's finding this manipulation of public perception on a wide variety of issues, including COVID, vaccines, the border, all these different things. They were actively involved in mind-fucking the entire country. And no one's addressing that from the left. So they're losing more and more credibility so all they can cling to is he has access to people social security numbers and private information like Really? Doesn't by the way the government does by the way, but he's saying that he's he gonna do something bad with it Like what is he doing? What what he's doing is uncovering insane corruption
That should be the primary thought yeah everybody has is oh my god. We have this enormous deficit deficit but spending is completely out of control and look what it's being spent on because this is the first time we're ever getting a fucking peek into the coffin yeah we didn't we didn't know we're like we see it it's in the dark room we hear the fucking organ we didn't know what was in the coffin yeah we do and i do it is i do think you have to like salt the earth to where all the dei stuff is they're like oh they're getting they're going too far and well i'm like no you've got to root this shit out it needs to be gone like yeah because like you said it is an ideology so it's harder to kind of change the minds of people who have been indoctrinated with this and colleges and schools but get it out of the institutions saying that you like that there should be male or female on a passport is not like that shouldn't be something that's fucking mind-blowing did you see that dnc meeting where they were talking about gender rules oh yeah but this is what i mean
They can't even do their own math. They're trying to figure out, like, we have one non-binary and one identifies as male. We have to have two identify as this. It's frustrating to someone who came from the left. All of this was left-wing stuff. Like, we wanted, on the left, accountability. We wanted to look into the budget. At some point in the 90s, that was something that was pretty standard and popular. bipartisan to like not want to be a trillion dollars in debt and have your dollar devalued and then you're like oh surely they're gonna learn from this election and i then you see the dnc chair nominations they have a parade of like basically nonsensical land acknowledgements what you're
talking about like land acknowledgements are my favorite too um and then elect two basic bitch white boys yeah david hogg yeah this is this is what you've learned from also if you don't want the male vote that's the guy when that guy has his arm up in the air his arm literally looks like that uh ancient guru that keeps his one arm in the air for like 80 years and his arm is shriveled up into the stick that's what it looks like he's like fight like bro you're not fighting shit this is so crazy i know i love how they're like we lost the mail vote we need to do some reflection and then this is this is a this is what i don't understand talk i don't get it it feels it feels strange to me that feels that feels like i i feel like you would have learned from this election you had because the other thing that they're doing is saying this is an unelected shadow government running i'm like who the fuck do you think was running the government for the last four years when we had pudding brain in there yeah it wasn't him we all knew that he
couldn't even do like field questions until he was pumped with drugs after a certain like how can you say elon's pretty transparent you know he's not like hiding things he's trying to shine light on things it's just not their side so their side is good not their side is bad Which is why they're not looking you don't it has to crumble you have to watch these people implode They have to double down It has to get worse and then more people have to abandon them for the point where someone has to rise and it'll have to be a young person And that young person will have to be a sensible person who actually is like a real progressive who Recognizes that there's a lot of fucking actual corruption and and real problems with the system And then there could be a lot more social programs that would help people that would make the whole world a better place. And those people have to rise and they have to be not ideologically captured. They have to be reasonable, intelligent people.
The problem is everybody comes out of universities and all these universities are captured. Right. All these universities are filled with these radical ideologies that people are indoctrinated in. You leave your parents. You don't want to fuck my parents or fucking my parents are fascists. And then all of a sudden you're in school and you're like, yeah, there's 80 genders and you're fucking out of your mind. And then it takes years of living in the real world before it comes back around. We go, hey, you know what? This is actually bullshit. So it's like a process that has to take place. But do you think they're still being taught this?
Yes. So it's unquestionably without a doubt they are being taught this. Because so much of DEI and all the stuff that they're dismantling is basically an entire industry that was created for all of these people with these useless degrees and nonsense education to have a job. And they got all the way to Harvard, the top of Harvard. Yeah. Yeah, which is wild. As a plagiarist, got to be the president of Harvard. It didn't matter if it made sense. It mattered if it fit the narrative. I think this election too I was like I don't know this could go badly
when I put out that I put out that I was voting I'm like well I could whatever you canceled maybe but I had to be honest but I still one of the clips that came from the show is when we were talking about there being a red wave and it was right before the midterms
and people for years were like oh guess you were wrong about that and it's like we weren't really wrong we're perceiving something that was happening i think it just happened in the general it didn't happen in the midterms you had people who like people were still coming out of covid by the way people vote in the midterms and you had people like trying to get their lives back together after being locked up for two years or whatever they're just like stumbling out of the covid years their kids couldn't talk yeah we were right we're defending ourselves we were right we were just a little off in timeline no we were wrong about that for sure but i do think but we were right about the general well i that red wave happened it's been something i i think like for all the shit that lots of people get there's there has been like wave after wave after wave of people leaving the Democratic Party.
I'm still seeing it online. Someone just yesterday posted some video and it was like, I'm done with you. I was like, how are you guys still shedding people? They're going to keep shedding people. They're not going to correct course. This is a buffalo drop. Do you know those buffalo jumps? No. You know what those are? The Native Americans used to,
one of the ways to hunt buffalo was to get them to the edge of a cliff and just run at them and they just fall off the edge of the cliff and then people be waiting on the bottom they butcher them and eat them okay we're we're in that pile of buffalo yeah they're gonna go off the cliff there's there's no way they're not yeah they're not course correcting at all you know they're saying stupid shit it's it's all nonsense like their understanding of social media and the dynamics that you set up by having completely state controlled mainstream media where they only said the narratives that you guys wanted they all said it in step so you could watch different programs repeat the exact same words exact same phrases we know they got talking points we don't trust you anymore we don't trust the new york times we don't trust the washington post we don't trust cnn or any of the msnbc where they're all full
with propaganda yeah and so that's why the internet rose it's not because there was some sort of a fucking right-wing conspiracy and heavily funded no you guys suck you guys fucking suck and you're not real people and you're not like nobody wants to hang out with brian stelter you know i'm saying there's none of these fucking people are people that people can actually relate to and like so much of it was bullshit too like i didn't really understand media when i first came into media i'd already been like in hollywood and comedy and then ended up in media one of the first parties I was ever exposed to. It was like the height of a lot of this like 2018 and it was very divided and people were in true like, oh, Trump is like gonna
ruin the world and there was a Daily Beast party and Ann Coulter was there and like people were all just hanging out. I'm like these people don't fucking believe anything they're saying. I mean, Ann probably does, but these guys don't. Like how? And then I would see this over and over again where people would fight and then they'd get off and they'd like i'll be like see you at the play date you know and it's like oh you know there was like something very strange to me about that where so much that old cartoon where there was the sheep
dog and the coyote yeah and they would say hi to each other in the morning and punch in and then they'd fuck each other up all day yeah that's how it felt that's exactly morning ralph morning sam that's exactly how it felt well that's what it's really like it's pro wrestling Yeah. You know, I mean, that's one of the things that Kamala Harris said after her debate with Joe Biden, where she called, she believed Joe Biden's accuser that, you know, he had sexually assaulted some woman. Remember that? She said she believed it. And then they asked her about it on Colbert. She's like, it was a debate. It was a debate.
And they're laughing. Of course. It's just a debate. Now you're his fucking vice president. This is so nuts. So you said you think the guys are rapists? and now you think he's awesome to run the country and you're so proud of him. We did it, Joe. This is crazy. We can't trust you if you're willing to do that
for a debate. Yeah. Your debate should be what you really think. You should say, I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. It's a very troubling accusation, but of course I don't know what happened. For you to say that you believe it just because you want to win, now all of a sudden I have to say, well, I don't know if I can trust you about foreign policy.
I don't know if I can trust you about the economy. I don't know I could trust you about censorship and then the need for a social credit score all these different things like What what is the real person behind? These actions is are you entirely motivated by money and influence because that seems like a lot of them it's it's upsetting to me though because it even though it's like We can see it's like wrestling and some of these people are full of shit And they're all buddies and whatever like hanging out at Park City or hanging out wherever they hang out like Like the real people are I see how like broken some of the Elon thing recently. Really. It was like a whole new wave of people who are like, I don't know if I can talk to you. I've managed to survive like eight years of the culture war.
It's still maintaining pretty OK relationships with even the most staunch liberals in my life. And the Elon thing, for some reason, you know, that the hand gesture. Oh, the Hitler thing. Yeah. It put people over the edge and they were like, I can't, I don't know if I can, you know, be friends with a Nazi apologist. And like, I'm like, how have I made it this far? But I legitimately feel bad because the media has told these people that there was, this was literally Hitler for many, many years. And then he's up there shaking hands with Obama. There's, you know, Joe Biden. They're all up there. It's a peaceful transfer of power.
Like if this, they're very confused. Have you seen the Kamala one doing the Heil Hitler? No. You haven't seen it? I'll send it to you, Jamie, if you haven't seen it. Look, a lot of people do that gesture. That gesture is from my heart to you. That's what it is. It's just you really shouldn't do that if you're standing on a stage and you have an angry look in your face. I was joking, too. What if it was just this kind of autism and he did it, and then in his brain he's like,
oh, shit, that looked like a Nazi salute, and then he did it. Like, if I do it again, then it won't. And then it's just this cascading freak out. And he's like, from my heart, I love you. Boy, Apple made it, like, real weird finding things now. They keep messing with this fucking interface. You're like, I can't search Kamala Nazi salute on Apple anymore. I know I have it. And I know it's good. Let me find it, you fuckheads. I haven't seen it.
Oh, it's wonderful. Because usually it's just a picture. And then they show the context. and it's not really actually that. No, no, no. This is great. Of course it's not that. Of course the context is not that, but here. I'm sorry. This is AOC. Oh, okay.
Have you seen this one? I haven't seen this one. Give me the volume. Everybody does that move. Everybody does. Tim Walsh did that move. Yeah. Kamala Harris did that move. They all did that move. Yeah. I mean, when you're announcing people to a stage.
Thank you. Thank you. I love you. But here's the problem when you're, I just wrote a column about this. Like when, when it is the boy who cries Nazi, you know, the nerds who cry Nazi for all these years, like it does end up running cover for Nazis. Oh, 100%. 100%. That's part of the real problem. there was one actual real Nazi that I was following for a while on Twitter
I didn't even have to follow them I clicked on the links a bunch of times and then it just started showing up in my feed and I'm like okay good now I don't have to follow you I can see this insanity it was crazy that's why I love free speech because you're like I would rather see this look X has porn hardcore porn you have to watch it on X now because you can't watch it on you can't get a porn hub
No. It's all very weird. Thank you, Elon. It's all very, very, very weird. No, it is. It's a very, very strange time for people to try to figure out what's real and what's not. And you're not going to get a good roadmap from your leaders. You're just not. But you're, and I don't think like it's, we're not, like I've been joking, like we are the fake news now, you know? Yeah, we said that today because what did they post?
That was the video, right? Oh, yeah. The fake video. Yeah, you wrote, we are the fake news now. Because, I mean, we're just as susceptible to sharing stuff that's not true. Oh, yeah. I think there's a big difference between a massive organization being influenced with talking points by a government and corporations to present something versus an idiot sharing propaganda without knowing it. but we I do I do wonder like how you how you have you know I was talking to someone like is there a way to I think you have to just like pause you know I assume everything is fake that's my default I think you start from there and then you try and do your detective work yeah I this is my thing oh my god is that real that doesn't seem real no let me see if that's real and then I check yeah but
That's something over time. Before, when I was younger, I'd be like, I want that to be real, so that's got to be real. Right. Right? That's a problem. Well, that's how my husband kind of taught me to evaluate everything that I get from the media. He's like, I look at something and I go, do I want this to be real or not real? And if so, why? Yes, that's right. Like, if you start there, you have a chance. That's me with UFOs.
Ah. That's my whole UFO take. Because I, clearly, I want them to be real so bad. I want them to be real so badly. I want them to be real so bad. But the more I fucking look into it, the more I don't believe. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think a lot of it is horseshit. A lot of it. But also, maybe some of it's real.
it's so unsettling to think that we're the only things out there for me that I wanted to it's like that can't be surely it doesn't seem like it even makes sense that that's true so I don't think that that's true but I do not know if we've been visited but I think a lot of it is bullshit I think it's not just bullshit I think it's probably government coordinated bullshit I think there's probably sightings that are mass psyops where they're trying to see how people react to things. I think there's probably crafts that the United States is in possession of that absolutely look like UFOs. I think there's probably propulsion systems that they use for drones that are infinitely more advanced than we currently think the state of the art is. Right. And so they'd say, oh, it's UFO and it's really their technology. But that doesn't account for the sightings that occurred when it was impossible for that technology to exist. Right. That doesn't
take you back to like 1950s with Kenneth Arnold, where he saw those flying discs moving through the sky, which is where the term flying saucer came from because it was like saucers skipping across a lake. And what about all the people kind of all over the world who have experienced like a similar thing? And why do all the drawings always look the same? Is that just collective conscious? People have seen one and then they think that, or is it, you know how they always look like aliens? There's a lot of possibilities. Another possibility is that the world's not real.
And we're in a simulation. Yeah. Yeah, that there's something, maybe saying the world's not real is not the best way to put it. It makes me so like, I want to crawl out of my skin. Maybe the best way to put it is that it's not real the way we think it's real. Like there's real consequences to your actions. There's real physical laws that exist in the experience that you're having as a conscious creature moving through this world. But this world's not totally solid all the time. It's solid when you interact with it. The rest of it is vague and weird and malleable and that it's constantly changing and that you wake and sleep and wake and sleep and assume that every time you wake up you're in the same exact area, the same space, the environment looks the same. But it might be a completely different dimension. There might be intertwined realities that are constantly experiencing itself over and over and over again. And then there also might be other dimensions that higher beings have the capability of traversing that we don't.
And that all these things are happening simultaneously with the actual creation of an artificial reality. It seems so real. Yeah, it all seems so real, but it also seems fake. Right there's some more and more Like I'm sure you know the whole Baron Trump story You know the ancient books That talked about a guy named Elon is going to go to Mars You never saw about that? No It is so crazy that even
Elon saw that and was like is this real? Like how is this real? Was it from 1853? Why does this have to do with Baron Trump? Because it's about A guy named Baron Trump and His guru is named Don yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i feel like i like saw something like this and i was like baron trump's marvelous underground journey what is this it's like it's a book from who wrote it it is from 1893 nearly forgotten baron trump's marvelous underground journey blends a science fiction and fantasy in a story told by little baron trump an aristocrat boy there you go that's
what he is, who sets out from Castle Trump, which is where he lives, to discover a world within a world that he read about in a 15th Central manuscript, celebrated thinker in philosophy. He learned Spaniard Don from. Don. Don. His guy, Don. Yeah. Join Barron Trump and his faithful dog and companion, Bulger. They set off at Northern Russian in search of his portals, so it's subterranean. But there's also the other thing.
They go back to Castle Trump. There's the other thing about Wernher von Braun. So Wernher von Braun, who was the head of NASA, wrote a novel, a fictional novel about a guy named Elon that takes us to Mars. Yeah. So there's like parts of reality that don't seem real. Yeah. They seem like a wink, like an Easter egg, like someone is like winking at you through the simulation. I'm just like an extra in the simulation. You're a part of it. It's your version of it that you're going through. You are the person who's experiencing your world. I just don't know if your world and my world are exactly the same. Right. Well, no. They're bubbles. I think they're bubbles. And I think the way you interface with the world changes what your bubble consists of.
Okay. Yeah. And I think it's all very, it's very weird. I don't think it's as simple as that rancher lady thinks when she gets up and feeds her chickens. I think that's her world. Right. That's her world. But I think the universe itself and how we interact consciously with it and all the things around us. I think it's squirrely. I think it's real squirrely. And I think every now and then the universe shows us something like this fucking Werner Von Braun book where you go, what? Even the name Elon and Mars, like what are the fucking odds? And then it turns out that Elon was actually named by his father when his father read that book. Oh, okay. But no, even crazier. What is the odds your son is going to be the guy who goes to fucking Mars? My daughter is obsessed with Mars. And we always know all the planets. And it's weird. I have no obsession with Mars.
But she's obsessed with the stars, the planets. She can point them out at night. She's like, that's Jupiter. That's Mars. Blah, blah, blah. And we asked her one day. We said, which planet do humans live on? And she said, Earth and Mars. And I was like, maybe. Well, you saw the square. Yeah.
That square on Mars. Is that real? Yes, that's real. That's a real photo. It's a real satellite image of Mars where you see a square structure. By the way, it's right down the street. It's like a hike away from Cydonia, the face on Mars. So it's a hike away from that thing that they saw from the, oh God, I want to say it was like the 1970s. They sent a satellite to Mars to take photographs of the surface and they saw this thing that looked like a face. the face on mars though it seems like what that is is just light with shitty resolution and it looked like a face what's interesting more about the face on mars so that's the original
image okay see the the problem with that is it's just it's not clear enough it could be anything yeah now um go to the modern images the face on mars you can see them right there it's right below see the slack right there where you just were to the right to the right yeah right there click on that so that's what it actually looks like okay so you could see how that just looks like a mountain yeah but what's interesting is the shape of it the shape of it is weird how it curves at the bottom and it's kind of equal sided and it goes up to the top and has right angle turns so that image of what that thing is where that's located is just a small hike away from this immense square that they've discovered that's 200. They don't know exactly how big it is, but the rough estimate is somewhere around 200 meters across. What do they think it is?
It's a structure. That's what I think it is. I don't think it can be anything other than a structure. What does Elon think it is? He thought it was wild. Has he commented on it? I sent him a text message. I said, imagine if you go up there and you find evidence of a previous civilization. He's like, that is fucking wild. It's wild because that's a real square.
What the? Yeah, that just doesn't seem like that would exist naturally. It doesn't seem like it's possible for it to be a perfect square. Yeah, that's crazy. I thought this was fake. No, no, no. No, it's real. It's real. It's very disturbing because that's a fairly high-resolution image. And Elon has backed a mission to Mars to go and check that out. They want to check it out.
See, there's an article right there from the Daily Mail, Elon backs mission to Mars, where he wants to send something up there to check it out. If you see these images, I don't think there's a chance in hell that that's not made by someone. That seems very strange. I don't think that nature makes a square. No. Is that a rectangle or a square? I mean, is it perfectly square? It might be slightly off. Whatever it is, it's four right-angled turns that have equal lengths.
Conspiracy theorists have likened the structure to the Great Pyramid in Egypt. Conspiracy theorists is a nice way to put it. How about just people looking at it going, what the fuck is that? I know. Why do they always call them conspiracy theorists? Because they're assholes. They're assholes and they work for the Daily Mail. So it's right down the street from that area, which is really crazy. And what do they think the face is? Just like a giant stuck in the Martian surface? I don't think anybody really thinks it's a face anymore. If you scroll up and look at that image from July 1976, that image.
what's interesting to me is not the face because i don't think it's a face but what's interesting to me is the shape of the base of it the shape of the base of it is weird yeah it's flat on the bottom equal sided and domed on the top it looks unnatural it doesn't mean it's unnatural there's a lot of shit that looks unnatural in nature that is actually natural but not squares that giant square where it looks like building there was like a civilization there yes well the thing is Mars had a real atmosphere. Mars has liquid water. We know it does. And at one point in time, they think that Mars was capable of sustaining life. So if you imagine the planets over time get further and further away from the sun. If you go back a billion years, how much closer was Mars to the sun?
And what was the temperature like? And we were like Venus? Yeah. Yeah. There's people that believe that the initial civilization escaped Mars and came to Earth. Oh. What about the moons of Jupiter? Well, there's one. Europa or something? Yeah, Europa, that's solid ice. And they think underneath that, well, the surface is solid ice. And they think underneath that is liquid water. And liquid water is capable of supporting life. So it's possible, especially when you see like those thermal vents that they find in the bottom of the ocean that sustain some form of life.
There might be some form of life inside the oceans of Europa. Are you joking about all this stuff? No. No, I'm not joking about Mars. That image, it sounds really crazy. No, I mean, like, are you joking about it on state? Sometimes. I used to have this whole bit about Mars. But there's places in America that you can't live to. Like, go to Death Valley, look around. Sucks, right?
No one lives here. Like, that's because it sucks. Get out of here. You're not going to fix that and you're going to go fix Mars? I mean, I have no desire. The whole planet has no air. Yeah, no, it's not appealing to me at all. Some people, you watch these documentaries and they're like, I think of Mars like my second home and I want to go live there. I'm like, it sounds horrible. They also think they're a cat. I'm also a fox kin.
Space just feels claustrophobic to me, even though it's vast. Until you can build things that make it feel a little more like, I just am like, I don't want to get in a tube and go live in a, do you watch Silo? No, I haven't watched it. I love Silo. Is it good? I love anything that's like post-apocalyptic show where people are living in a wasteland or in some weird, and they're underground in all these silos, and they all have to live, and there's people at the bottom. And it's really, but it's like definitely, they're like, they've never seen the sun. They've never seen the sky. You know, it's like they've had an alternate history that's been kind of told to them. Jesus. Yeah.
Yeah, that's all possible. Yeah, that's like a post-nuclear world, like when the AI gets smart and nukes us all. Yeah, but how are we going to get vitamin D down there? It's not good. They have like plants and trees. You don't get vitamin D from plants? Yeah, I don't know. Now that you like burned the boat and all of your stuff, are you just kind of having fun rebuilding? What do you mean? Like now that you just like did all your material. Oh, stand-up-wise?
Yeah, just having fun. Yeah. trying to come up with a new hour and fucking around. It's so fun. It's a weird time for comedy. Do you think? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's a really good time for comedy. Well, yeah, I feel like it's a great time. Yeah, there's so much information.
But it's a weird time, too, because the center of comedy has now moved to Texas. That's awesome. So that's weird. That's a crazy thing. That's your fault. And it's also moved online, which is also a crazy thing. Like the main promotional aspect of comedy is now online. I heard Jesselnik talking about this, about being like a clips comic. Like he was, he was, I saw a clip of him going around talking about being a clips comic and how.
How ironic. Yeah, it was very meta. It was, but he was talking about how before people would recognize him like in the old ways. and now people wreck it wreck it it's like a different he said it's like a different level of fame from when he was famous before just for stand-up now he's like the clips guy but i think like everyone's that's like everyone right it's just a different medium that's all it is i've talked just i mean it's no different than you being on some comedy central show it's just way more impactful i've talked to a lot of people about how the like uh videos the the you know the like crowd work videos have changed crowds because now crowds think they're helping you by chiming in. And so it's like actually most because it's some crazy percentage of people who have never been to a comedy show at a comedy show. Like a very high percentage of people have never been to a comedy show at every comedy show.
Isn't that weird? It's like quite high. Interesting. Right. So they're accustomed to seeing like like the crowd work stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And so they think they're actually helping you by heckling so that you can get your. I don't think they think they're helping you. I think they want to be heard. They want to be a part of it.
That's the way they get in. I'm helping. You just want to chime in. Yeah. I saw some video clip of some lady losing her shit on some guy in the audience. Oh, I saw this. Yeah. It's very weird. And everyone's like, this is amazing. It's not really amazing. I was like, it seems like upsetting.
it's also not very well handled like the whole experience is not expertly it's there's not a lot of humor in there you know people love it they're like yeah that this is comedy it's subjective i guess some people look at that that's not comedy that's just talking people talking yeah one person with a microphone and power and one person in the audience it's like challenging that and give me the microphone and it's fuck you and you know it's wild like the clip thing the clips are are like feeding feeding the algorithm is freaking it's such a crazy thing to me well that's with everything right clips from podcasts are way more popular than the podcast themselves yeah so many clips go viral on you know x and you think tiktok's gonna be banned no no no keep it yeah yeah i don't think so the fucking president uses it i met the fucking ceo tiktok when i was at the inauguration what was that like like uh being in satan's balls where just going to the actual fucking inauguration the actual house of government being in the actual buildings where all this stuff
gets done it's very very strange how are we there a couple days and so you went to the like some of The balls. The balls. Yeah. Was it like Hunger Games? It's like really rich entitled people that donated a lot of money. They just like jump in front of you to take pictures with you. They don't care who you're talking to. Everybody was like super pushy. It's all very transactional. Everybody needs to get on your podcast and needs to talk to you about a thing.
And you have to get this person. It's like everything's exhausting. And everybody's wealthy. And they're also, they spent a lot of money to get there. A lot of those people, they donated like a million dollars. Holy shit. So there's like tons of people, thousands of people donated a million dollars. Just to be there. Just to be there. And they're all fucking just super enthusiastic because their team just won. Right.
And it's the inauguration of the president and Kid Rock's there and everybody's going crazy. And it was fun for a while. It was me and Tony Hinchcliffe and Theo Vaughn and- Lex? Logan Paul was there. Oh yeah, I saw that. And Jake Paul. And we were all having a good old time. We were laughing and having fun. And then too many people just started swarming us. And then it was just like, you're dealing with like 10,000 people in this room and you can't move.
You can't go anywhere. Right. And it got crazy. You couldn't have a conversation. You had to just try to get out of there. Was the inauguration like moving? Was it? Did you? Fascinating. Was it weird to be part of all that like pump? Oh, yeah.
It was very weird. Very weird. Were you in the main? Oh, I was on the stage. I was in the fifth row. Oh. I was like right there. I was unaware. Yeah. Looking at Lauren Sanchez's tits. Yeah.
I could have thrown a pebble and hit Hillary Clinton in the head. Oh. They were right there. It was weird. First of all, it's weird watching like Bill Clinton walk into a room. Right. He's real. That's him. Yeah. All the shit that guy's escaped. And there he is right there.
Oh, TV. Hey, how you doing? Good to say. Good to say. Weird. It's weird. It's weird. It's weird seeing those people. It's funny they let you in there. I know, right? Whenever I'm in situations like that, I'm like, why are they letting me in here?
They should know better. I thought of that a little. But, you know, it's cool. It was weird. Yeah. You only get to be at one of those maybe once in your life if you're really lucky. Especially that one, which was indoors because it was insanely cold outside. Yeah. Yeah. That seems like probably better. Oh, yeah.
For security. It was cold as fuck outside, too. Definitely better for security. But it was very cold outside and windy and shit. Is it weird to be like, I don't know. I was looking at all the people up there and it was just, it seems like it's so much, I don't know. It seems like it's just like, is everyone kissing the ring? Does it feel kind of like, you know what I mean? Is it like a, I don't know. Does it feel kind of gross or was it like cool? Well, it feels strange, right?
It feels strange that it's real. It also feels strange that we're standing up because there's a standing ovation every like 15 seconds. We're going to turn the Gulf of Mexico in the Gulf of America. We're all standing up. Fuck yeah, we're going to do that. It was fun watching George Bush. George Bush was the only guy clapping. He was having a good time. All the other presidents look deeply disturbed. Yeah. Kamala Harris had this like this motherfucker look on her face the entire time.
But she sat there like this the entire time. Well, I mean, very upset. Obviously. Well, also, he's talking about how bad they sucked. And she lost. And they're right there. And she has to sit there. And she's sitting right next to Biden. Who's not there. He's just gone. Yeah.
Yeah. And then behind them is Obama and George W. That's wild, man. Yeah. I was like, I hope there's like a, you know, what's that called when there's like the extra person or whatever, the designated survivor. I'm like, yeah, because there's a lot of people. You could really fuck America up right now. One bomb. Yeah. I think they're aware of that. I think there's probably steps taken to make sure that the skies are clear.
Yeah. But it's very strange, but also kind of exciting. because like if he really does get to do all this stuff like if we really do see radical change it seems like that's what's happening and if bobby kennedy really does get in and if tulsi gabbard really does get in like this is a crazy time yeah this is like an unprecedented cabinet of people that are kind of unified and all know each other they're all friends you know and it's also kind of bipartisan like rfk jr brought it's he brought so many people over i know so many people who were not going to vote for Trump. But then when he kind of brought RFK Jr. over, they were like, all right. Yeah. I mean, if he's there and Tulsi, too.
Yeah. They're there. They were libs. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't I don't know that that must have been pretty. I are. It's bizarre. It seemed like I was like, that must be so surreal to be there because it was surreal to watch it. Just like when you think about the fact that he nearly got killed, like the whole sequence
of events that led to that moment. Yeah. What the debate where he just like fell apart. And it just was surreal to watch. So I was wondering, like, that must be pretty bonkers to be there. And then he should have seen Biden his face the entire time. Like, he looked upset, like, almost like he was going to cry at one point in time. He looked so upset. I think he thinks he could have won. Do you have any fears about it? Like, what about the Riviera? oh the the gaza thing the riviera of the middle east you did such a good impression of you it's uh yeah i mean what's the alternative to that happening what's all they're saying no u.s military will be there the united states is going to clean it up rebuild it give it to the palestinians make it safe oh okay get rid of hamas i mean the thing is what palestinians want is a state yeah they want their own state and this is like a step sort of away from that yeah now it'll be that section of the that area is now controlled by the united states what the fuck and greenland don't forget greenland the question is like what's the better option like give it to hamas what's the better option give it to the palestinians and they give it to the islamic state like who who gets it
i'm not smart enough for any of this also how did you let it happen in the first place like how did this administration let them just bomb the fucking shit out of all those people and blow up an entire city to the point where you could even feasibly say that you'd rebuild it? Because it's not like before this had happened, if anybody had ever said the United States is going to go into Gaza and completely rebuild it and make it the United States, everybody's like, fuck you. You need to give that to Palestine. But once you blow it up, you're like, well, I guess there's nothing left. People are pushing back against it. A lot of people are upset, but not as upset as they would if they didn't blow it up.
Oh, that's weird. Yeah, because it's weird. It's horrible. And we've just accepted the fact that this is what Israel did. And, you know, for 1,200 people and 250 hostages, they killed 60,000 people. Is that the actual number or is that the last number? I don't know what the number is. What's the current number of people that are dead in Gaza right now? It's such a weird thing, too, because Israel, I feel like, has to not win a war, which is a weird thing, where they have to, like, they're in a position where they... They already won the war. I mean, what war?
Yeah. It's one army. There's one army and some terrorists. It's like Bill Hicks' joke about Iraq. Like, it's only a war when there's two armies fighting. They're like, whoa, Bill, Iraq's the fourth largest army. He goes, yeah, well, after the top two, there's a huge drop-off. He's like, the Salvation Army is number three. I don't want there to be war. I think most people agree on that. Of course.
But also, we don't live in Israel, right? We don't have to live with the Iron Dome because missiles are being shot into your city. And you watch them explode up in the sky because your military has these rockets that shoot up in the sky missiles and take these fucking missiles out. Yeah, I think about like if it was my daughter that was like in some tunnel, I would be like, there'd be no length. Well, that's... You know, I know that's very selfish of me. But that is on a personal level. I'm like, I can't even imagine how I would feel in that situation as a parent. Of course. Well, that's the deepest conspiracy theory about why it happened in the first place is because Netanyahu was losing power and people were protesting against him in the streets. And what better way to get everybody on your side than to allow an attack to take place?
That's the darkest of the false flag conspiracy theories. I have a lot of people that I know who now think 9-11 was an inside job after October 7th. Oh, Jesus. Isn't that crazy? They're like, well, if they would do it here, they would do it. Like, why wouldn't they do it in America? It's been like this kind of reverse leap. Yeah. Well, anytime you have a big tragedy like 9-11, you're always going to have a bunch of wild theories. But some of them are interesting. you know like you're supposed to dismiss them all because they're conspiracy theories but tower
seven is like explain that i can't i have i have people in my life who are are very much like true i think truthers i think about this that's a weird one that's a weird one what's the conspiracy around tower seven just how did it why did it come it collapses like a controlled demolition completely into its base no buildings ever done that before without being a controlled demolition and it doesn't have all the signature aspects of a controlled demolition like if you ever watch like when they blow up one of them vegas casinos yeah super obvious it's like bang bang bang bang bang bang bang and it all collapses it doesn't have that but it does have something similar in that the effect is the same so is it possible to do that without having it the way the casinos do it. Is there only one way to have a controlled demolition of a building? Or is it possible that just immense diesel fires weaken the structure uniformly in such a weird way that it collapsed exactly like a controlled demolition, but it's just the result of this.
Yeah. They had diesel generators in the basement of that thing and the whole fucking inside of it was on fire. So when you see it on the outside, you only see like a little bit of fire and some holes but the entire inside of it was in flames we're living in a simulation maybe that maybe that's another wink you know maybe that's another fucking we didn't have social media though thank god right during that can you imagine no but we did have plenty of people that were questioning once they saw it on television because you saw it on tv and you're like what is that yeah how does it do that do you remember that wasn't even hit by a plane do you remember seeing the skyline the first time you went to new york oh without the twin towers i don't think i actually saw it I went back in 2001. I was there in 2001. Yeah.
Maybe 2002. It was probably like a couple of months after September 11th. I took a train in November in. And because I took the train in, I always used to take this train in from Rhode Island where I was. And I was like, it was so jarring seeing. They were so part of that. They were so huge. Yeah. And just part, you just took it for granted. That was the landscape. And it was, I'll never forget it.
I thought it was weird, too, that when they rebuilt it, they didn't make it as tall. Why didn't they? I don't know. It's only one building now. It's not two. I know. And it's not as tall. It's pretty tall, but they didn't get crazy. They didn't say, we're going to make the biggest fucking building the world's ever seen. It's going to be like a middle finger to the world. Yeah, if Trump was there, he'd put, we're going to have two buildings on the side and
one right up your ass. It's like, fuck you. It looks like that. it is it's smaller smaller than the original buildings I do wonder like I just I'm so curious about what it's going to be like for our kids
yeah that's what it looks like now yeah is it the tallest building in the US? yeah but it's not as tall right? I don't know what the height was I think it's shorter no if it's shorter than still the tallest the World Trade Center
wasn't the tallest building no not in the world no in the US even oh it wasn't? the Sears Tower was bigger Really? Yeah, 100%. Where's the Sears Tower? Chicago. That's taller than the World Trade Center? It was.
Whoa. Now this is the tallest. I didn't know that. Yeah. The Sears Tower was the tallest building in the world for a while. So the Twin Towers were taller than the Sears Tower? They were shorter. They were shorter. Yeah, I don't know why you're saying that, I guess. Oh, it's the same. Oh, it has the same name as the North Tower of the original.
How tall is it? It is shorter, though, right? isn't it? I don't know that. The Willis Tower was the tallest one. I remember people being upset when they were rebuilding it because it wasn't going to be as tall. 1776. So 110 stories was the original one and it was, the
tower was 1,350 feet high. How tall is the one now? So it's taller? Yep. Really? Yeah. Wait a minute. Really? I don't... Can I see the image again? I don't know where else you want me to go with this. No, no, no. Is it because they cheat with that big pole at the top?
I mean, they do that with all of them. The other one had a big pole on top, too. But isn't that to stop lightning bolts? Some of it. Some of it's antenna stuff, but... Some of it's to talk to aliens. Some of it's cell phone tower. Okay, I'm wrong. I thought it was shorter. Maybe what they were saying is it's smaller because there's only one instead of two. The Spire makes it 1776.
The Spire. Yeah, how tall is that fucking spire? And that video too, the spire of the World Trade Center, I never saw this, they're saying that's what made Tower 7 fall. It made a gash. Ah. What? What made a gash? The spire on the tower here fell
and made a gash down the side and started a fire here. I've never seen this video. Interesting. I was just looking through it to see what... Well, that's one thing with the video that we saw. Oh, look at that. Interesting. They have photos of what that – I don't think they have an actual video of that happening. Oh, it fell and fucked up the building. But still.
Still. Why didn't it just fall into that side? Why does it compress into its base? The way it collapses. Like I've never seen anybody adequately describe it. But one thing that people should know is that the top of it collapsed before the whole thing collapsed. There was this piece on the top so the roof caved in first. like there was like there's a smaller structure on top of the roof that imploded and went through the base okay and then the whole thing went under so it wasn't like it all went in one shot the top of it had already collapsed and went through god that was such a weird time in america i was thinking about how like just catatonic i was on the couch recently just like that whole week afterwards right
Just nobody. I know. Because it's weird. Like I have family members who have kids and their kids are now like they were born right around that time. They were one, two years old. They've grown up. They don't they don't remember kind of what it was like before that. And they I don't know. I feel like the world might. I have a friend and he's like everything went to shit after 9-11. Everything just got shittier.
Well, everything did go to shit because that's when they passed the Patriot Act. Yeah. And that's when the government really got its hooks into your information. Clarification here. New one, 1776, 541 meters tall. Old one. With the spire, it was 1730, but it was 1368 without the spire. Okay. The spire, so without the antenna of the building, is 417 meters tall. So I think you were close. Okay.
That's what you were saying right there. So it's not much different, though. I thought it was a lot different, like 10 stories or some shit. So it's 104 floors. and the other one was 110 floors. How many basement floors? I don't know. Also, it's like, how tall are the floors? I hope this one doesn't... Do you think this administration is going to try and get rid of the Patriot Act? No.
No. No, why would they do that? I think they have those tools and power to actually... They'll use it as an excuse to go get terrorists. Yeah, but haven't we all wanted to get rid of it for a long time? Yeah. Well, then they have the Patriot Act 2, which is even more invasive. Yeah. Yeah. But people, like, that seems like a bipartisan thing somebody could get behind. Maybe. But the real neocons will come out and say that weakens us against our enemies. We need this power to be able to find terrorists and to be able to search out.
I mean, that was one of the things that the Obama administration, when they passed the NDAA, You know, we're not going to do it. We're not going to just like to tend Detain people indefinitely. We wouldn't do it But the problem is you're giving the law that law is now in the books and now the next person What if it's a psycho and the person after that? What if it's a psycho right now? You've given them power to like become a dictator and you can go after their political enemies, which normal people won't do right? You guys don't do that, right? I mean it's going to be a wild four years I think because I did think that like the I figured I figured I thought maybe that people would understand that they were wrong and that like maybe they'd gone too far and I was and it seems like hysteria I don't think people learn that good I think people learn by having their lives ruined and getting really angry right and then they
change course but i think the people that are still comfortable and still working in these environments that still cling to these ideas they're gonna double down and wear a pussy hat and fucking paint their hair blue and protest in the streets all this it's so weird because i was thinking about how i've now been 10 years in the culture wars which is not i mean i kind of stumbled into them are you a sergeant now what are you yeah i don't know yeah i'm a you're are you a general i don't know what i am um i've been but it has been a weird decade to be i didn't want to i was i think so many normies are like me they just got kind of forced into being in them it wasn't like i i wanted to i was like a drunk waitress who just wanted to tell jokes yeah that and then i started writing for playboy and next thing i know i'm voting for trump well you know as a drunk waitress you just you're one of us you're a human and humans there's a lot of people that have opinions and ideas on things they're just not
good at articulating it or they never learned how to articulate it but everybody does what we do Or everybody can do what we do. They do it with their friends. They talk with their friends. Yeah. They bullshit about stuff. And, you know, it's just a process of putting it out there. We've had, I've had some weird YouTube strikes that I'd say, yes, it's easy to do. Except I've had to play 10 years of a game of like outrunning censors and like Patreon. Okay, we're there. And then we've got to get off there because I don't want to put all my eggs in that basket
in case they go bonkers and shut it down. And then I feel like a lot of people in this space have been for like a decade out. You know, we're like, how are we going to, we got like the dumbest strike on an old ad of ours. And it was something that we said. And then you have to go to like, you know, like you've got to go to like class and get reeducated. Jamie got reeducated. Didn't you, Jamie? You feel better right now, right?
What? You feel smarter? Now you got reeducated by YouTube? What did you get reeducated for? Which part of YouTube? You got re-educated. Sure, I guess. Didn't you? When we had a strike, you had to do the little classes. Oh, that's what you're talking about. Oh, yeah.
He's like, what re-education? He got re-educated. He's different now. He's better now. Because we told factual information about COVID-19. And so you got a strike? Yeah, it was because it was like a long time ago. Oh, but ours is weird because it was like a very old episode. So they must be like trolling. I don't know what they're doing. They're probably just using their algorithm and going after everything.
And ours literally we said think for yourself and come to your own conclusions. Oh, that's dangerous That was the ad it wasn't even ours on our podcast as an ad we were doing Shouldn't give that advice out People shouldn't be doing that, but this is why it's hard for people to just like say what they want, you know Well, what do you think is gonna happen when you're looking at all this crazy shit right now with doge and the uncovering of USAID and this dismantling of this bizarre left-wing ecosystem that's pretty much manufactured? Like, what do you see is going to happen with the rest of the country? I mean, look, there are a lot of people who did not vote for Trump. You know, he won. And yes, he won every swing state. Half the country is a lot of people. Yeah, it's a lot of people. So, and I'm not sure how many of them, I wonder how many, So I have a couple questions.
How many people didn't vote for Trump and wanted to and are secretly glad he won? I bet there's a pretty significant number of those people who either didn't vote or didn't vote for him but wanted him to win anyway. Ari says that. Ari says that New York City is like relaxed. It's like everybody was relaxed after the election. Like even the liberals are like, whew. Yeah, thank God. They're like, whew. Yeah, like thank you God you saved me for myself. Yeah, exactly. Because it's God doing for us what we can't do for ourselves.
Yeah, so there's that I wonder. But then I do wonder how many of the people are what I worry about is how much mental this is where I get mad at the media for presenting this like this is Hitler. We're having it notched up to 11 for the past eight years. And now you've got this because he was put in. It's almost like that that that energy has been transferred to Elon now because now do you see the Elon protests? They're protesting Elon. They're literally standing out there with signs that say arrest Elon Musk. Listen, I guarantee it's organized. I guarantee it's organized by the same people that are going to lose a shitload of money based on all these discoveries at Doge. There's no way they're not. If you look at what Doge is uncovering, what they're uncovering with this USAID stuff, a lot of that stuff was organizing through NGOs protests. They organized the attempt at getting Trump impeached. I thought you were going to say killed. They organized the impeachment.
They also spent, USAID spent $50 million on the lab that invented coronavirus. Right. Yeah, there's a lot of money involved in this not working. And when you have a lot of money involved, you're going to have organized protest. When you see protest, we all want to think protests like the 1960s. Yeah, fight the war, man. It's like organic, like peace, love and hippie shit. But that's not what this is. What this is, is organized, funded protests where someone is spending a lot of money and they're mobilizing other NGOs. They're using their access to these mailing lists and all these different things. They're putting these things together.
Yeah. But do you think that the average liberal person, do you think that they're going to wake up and come around? or do you think that they're going to be in agony for four years and be— What if it works? What if the world gets safer, the country gets safer, the economy improves, and they don't attack civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, all these things that everybody's worried about? And then at the end of it, you realize, like, hey, maybe I was wrong. I mean, that's my question, though. Are they capable of that kind of self-reflection? What we're saying they is if it's like one kind of person.
No, I mean— There's so many different people in they. Agreed. I mean, when I say they, I mean people who have bought into the idea that this person is going to make everything worse and we're going to slip into a fascist technocracy. Some of them. Some of them are going to slip right into it. Some of them are going to wake up and come around. It's a test. It's a test of character. It's a test of objectivity. It's a test of introspection.
there's a lot of things that are going to happen where people are going to have to wonder like what was I rooting for when I was rooting for this progressive liberal government what was I actually rooting for was I rooting for warmongers who were making insane amounts of profit by funding overseas wars yeah what was I word what was I rooting for was I rooting for a basic theft of our our tax dollars that's gone to all these like completely useless endeavors that were only set up as ways to pilfer money. Or the fall of America. You know, this is a weird thing to like hate your own country so much that you want it to fall or the dismantling of the life,
the kind of West as we know it. You know, I think there is a feeling that Elon might have saved the West. Yeah. I feel like at least he's trying to. I think he did. I think he did, but just by buying X. But isn't it funny that he got forced into it? I think there's like something kind of ironic. Well, funny because he was trying to get it at a lower price because he knew that they were bullshitting about the amount of bots.
Well, and then they came out yesterday and now it's profitable. Yeah. There's like a whole article about how he turned it around. Of course it's going to be profitable. He's smarter than you. He is smarter. He also knows that we are all... Tapped in. Oh, I can't stop it. I've always had a Twitter addiction. it's the thing that replaced my drinking and smoking weed when i quit that i went right to
twitter i was like elon knows none of these motherfuckers even when they go to blue sky they've all got secret accounts and they're lurking on twitter still or x still whatever you can't live in that echo chamber that blue sky echo chamber you can't even go on there and say there's only two genders if you go on there and say there's two genders they ban you immediately they were like eating themselves within two days over there though but that's what always happens That's happened with Gab too, right? Yeah. And I think some of that is not even real because I personally know comics who go on Blue Sky and just say insane leftist stuff. Just like the most preposterous thing, like maybe Duncan would do. I'm not saying Duncan does it, but he might do it. But I know comics that do that just to see the reaction, how people agree with them.
Like insane stuff. Oh, okay. Like my toddler, I could tell when my toddler was trans when they were three days old. And people agree with them. Oh, yeah. Jump right in. Don't you think we're all in echo chambers, though, like you said? How do you stay outside of yours? Drugs. Oh, that's true. That helps a lot.
No, I'm kidding. You just got to be recognized like you're thinking. You have to have a process. What's your process? I live by the Joe Rogan School of Internetting. How's that? I take all your advice. I don't read the comments, and I post and ghost. That's good. I don't get in there and... That's good.
I definitely do that. And then I think of like, what do I really think about something and why do I think about it that way? And I try to go, is it because it's self-serving? Is it because I've said it in the past that I want to be right? Is it, what is it? You know, like what makes me believe what I believe? And then you have to do a deep dive and all the goddamn arguments back and forth to figure out who's right. And all the logic and the illogic and see people ignoring certain core facts. Like this is the most fascinating thing about this USAID thing to me is how people on the left are completely ignoring all the rampant, obvious corruption and conflicts of interest in the government funding non-government organizations that in turn fund the government. That's so crazy. And anybody that doesn't think that's crazy, it's like, what do you love money influencing everything in your daily life?
Don't you think that maybe we have a problem in that we have a huge deficit? and if part of our huge deficit we're spending fucking billions of dollars every year on horse shit yeah i mean that is my issue with people being like see it it is the like political thing isn't right which is true it's important to be accurate but it's also like yeah but there's there's this money shouldn't be spent this way no so just because this thing is maybe not true you're pointing to this one thing that could be people are misrepresenting but there's a much bigger problem you seem to want to just sweep under the rug and say oh like you guys are just crazy for noticing all these connections I'm but didn't they make
them stop or something did they freeze their ability these kids are nuts that guy who like found the scroll how to read the scroll from Pompeii using AI no they're wizards that's the kind of people that you want digging into this stuff and that's why Elon got them he knows what the fuck he's doing It's it's all very strange because it's you're dealing with so many things that are happening at the same time
You have this technology that was never available before that is allowing people to freely express themselves online Right, and then you have this maniac billionaire who buys the biggest one and makes it the Wild West again And then you have government being exposed for what it is So you have all these fucking NGOs this web of we talked about it yesterday this web of 55,000 different NGOs That were supporting all these liberal causes that were all completely intertwined and they had to use software to find that and figure it out Yeah, they're finding out that this is like this complicated propaganda network. Yeah that existed look that's not good No, it's not good for anybody left or right because it's money. It's just money being used in a way Not only that, here's the thing People say the $10 billion It's only $10 billion, that kind of shit What about the fucking people in Maui?
That could have been fixed With $5 billion The government could have said we are going to Rebuild those people's homes To the exact state And even better than where they were before It's going to cost us $5 billion All the money that we're sending over to Ukraine All the money that we send to Israel All the money we send to all these different Organizations that work
with USAID in the tune of billions and billions and billions of dollars. They could have done that. And instead of doing that, they're telling us that what we have to do is continue to fund all these programs in all these other countries that just so conveniently have a whole staff of people that's making a great wage and their political capital is bet on all this stuff. And it all is involved with intertwined with these NGOs and all this money they're getting. And this is the thing. We have to go and help these people. We're going to starve. They're going to do this. They're going to do that. What about America? Yeah.
And then you have our tax dollars going into a safety net to help people from one of the worst wildfires in history or North Carolina or North Carolina. Yeah, exactly. Same thing. Yeah. Apparently, none of those people have gotten any money in North Carolina. No. And they're like sleeping in freaking tents in the freezing cold. Exactly. All that could have been addressed to the same way we address problems in other countries. So if you have this amazing slush fund that USAID is and it's not being applied at all to the problems of America, why would you think people would support it?
Yeah. Why would we support it with our tax dollars when we know that the country is massively in debt? Well, and it's like I appreciate that there are so many problems. I do feel like for the first time ever, there is an actual transfer of power. Like every every single election through my lifetime, it's been there's been all the normal fighting between the two parties. And then the election happens and one party wins and then nothing changes. Yeah. And you just keep sliding and sliding and sliding and sliding. And everybody says they're going to do something and no one does anything. And then you have fucking Elon come in like a wrecking ball and a very motivated and Trump with who seems organized this time. And they actually feel like they're making changes, changes that, by the way, American people want. The border.
The border? They fixed the border overnight. I know. Overnight. The looking into, my friend Max Meyer was saying, he's a very smart guy, he was saying no one with any numerical ability has ever looked into Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Ever. That's what they're cracking into next. There's a lot of money there that is like provider side fraud where it's just inflated. Wasn't that Sonny Hostin's husband? Isn't he involved in a RICO lawsuit? Oh, I don't know.
About insurance fraud? The View person? Uh-huh. Yeah. Oh, I have no idea. Her husband got arrested. Oh, really? Yeah. He's one of 200 people charged in some gigantic insurance fraud. There's a lot of that. What is that?
What's the actual story behind that? Jamie's looking. Jamie's on it. He's on it. But they can take it. I mean, you know how complicated it would be to try and untangle that web of where you're inflating things that people have and you're saying this is like a band. You see these things online where it's like a bandaid is $25,000. You know, like what? Someone explained that to me, too, is that when you have a budget, say, if you run an organization and it has a budget, you get money from the government and that budget is like $80 million a year. You can't spend 60 because then you're going to get 60 next year. You have to spend all 80.
Right. If you don't spend all 80, you don't get it. You got to say, we need 90. We're barely hanging on. And so you have to charge like $500,000 for a hammer. And that's literally how they justify their existence. They're not in the business of being frugal and being responsible and making sure that the money is being spent competently. No, they're in the business of keeping their budget coming in. Sonny Host and surgeon husband Emmanuel faces solo battle in lawsuit as co-defendants agree to settle. Oh, Jesus. So, okay.
Sonny Hostin's surgeon husband has found himself in the hot seat in a massive lawsuit accusing nearly 200 healthcare providers of insurance fraud. Dr. Emanuel Hostin defiantly called himself the victim of a frivolous smear campaign last month after he was accused of providing fraudulent medical services in exchange for kickbacks in a complaint filed by American Transit Insurance Company in December. orthopedic surgeon now finds himself increasingly isolated after the vast majority of the defendants have now offered to settle their cases. Oh, boy. According to a new court filing obtained by DailyMail.com, American Transit, which ensures taxi company and Uger Lyft drivers, announced last Monday more than 141 of the 186 defendants named in the suit have agreed in principle to settle one of the largest RICO cases ever
filed in New York. The papers filed by the law firm Manning Cass did not specify which defendants offered to settle. Dr. Hostin has until February 10 to respond to the legal complaint. So it has something to do with drives from the hospital and kickbacks from all this shit. Yeah, it's because they're so, that's what they need though, is these guys who can use this AI technology to get in there and start looking on a massive scale. at what all of these, everything. I mean, they have to look at everything. I think most Americans want this. So they're being accused of getting kickbacks for performing surgeries and submitting fraudulent bills.
Yeah. Hosted knowingly provided, this is in quotes, knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other healthcare services, including arthroscopic surgeries. The lawsuit filed on December 17th claims American Transit was then billed in exchange for kickbacks and or other compensation which were disguised as dividends or other cash distributions. I don't know how they know this. So I don't want to comment on this. I don't really understand what this is.
This might be bullshit. It might be real. But I do know that doctors... But this happens all the time. I mean, maybe not this, but there's provider side fraud that is very well known and people have been called out for it. There's a doctor that I was just watching this whole thing on where he... I think it was 200 people. He treated, it might have been more, that did not have cancer and he gave them chemotherapy. Oh my God. Yeah.
He falsely diagnosed them as having cancer and then treated them for cancer. Yeah. And some of them got really sick and died. Well, yeah. It's chemo. Yeah. It's chemo. It's fucking killing you. And it wrecks your health. So even if you survive it, your body's wrecked for a long time afterwards. And did he do this just for money?
For money, yeah. Oh, yeah. And his argument was that this term that they always use, you eat what you kill, and that you have to have a business. You have to keep your business rolling. So his business was making sure that people thought they had cancer and then treating them for cancer. That's dark. Well, cancer and chemotherapy is one of those weird ones where the doctors profit off of each chemotherapy. Oh, do they? Yeah. $34 million in fraudulent a Detroit area hematologist
oncologist was sentenced today to serve 45 years in prison for his role in a healthcare fraud scheme that included administrating medically unnecessary infusions or injections to 553 individual patients and submitting to Medicare and private insurance companies approximately $34 million in fraudulent claims this is the fucking sickest thing I've ever heard you tell these people they have
cancer I know right and make them get chemo i know this is insane i can't believe i've never heard of this yeah it's really crazy it's like a decade ago wow this is fucking nuts how did they catch him i don't know that's wild yeah but no that's so sick i know people that have told me that they know people that have done surgeries that were unnecessary yeah because just for money they want money yeah well that's like the whole like trans care like you know a lot of orthopedic surgeries i have friends back surgeries and stuff doctors that won't let someone try stem cells that try to deny people stem cells so yeah the the back surgery yeah well it can help some people but it's not the only solution and there's other ways to fix your back i always tell people that you should there's a lot of different ways to fix back issues. I've had back issues. I didn't have surgery. I was told to have surgery. I had a bulging disc in my neck. I was told that I had to have a disectomy. I did not.
My neck is perfect. It works great. How did you fix it? I did Regenikine. Regenikine is, it's like a very advanced form of platelet rich plasma that used to have to go to Germany to get. I remember like Peyton Manning and Kobe Bryant, those guys, they flew to Germany to get this procedure done. And Dana White did it too. And then they opened up a place in Santa Monica where you could do it in Santa Monica and I had it done. I had it done on my back. I had it done on my neck. It's amazing. They take your blood, they spin it in a centrifuge. I forget what the exact process they do. And then they pull out this liquid that is the most potent anti-inflammatory inflammation drug that you could ever find. So this anti-inflammation drug, it's made out of your own blood. So your body doesn't reject it, this process that they do. And then they inject it in the areas around the discs and the discs all settled and they went right back into place wow yeah i had it done on my lower back i had it done on my upper back and i had it done on my neck
see i think that this is where i'm excited about ai and stuff like that it would be exciting to have ai cure cancer which they think that it might be able to do yeah i'm a little i saw that larry ellison thing i was like yeah are you making money doing this well obviously i don't know if larry Is Larry Ellison saying that? Why is he doing that? Oh, yeah, he did. Like, why are you doing that? Are you a doctor? Don't you own Lanai? What are you doing? But I don't see.
It seems like it's not outside the realm of possibility that AI would get smart enough to figure this shit out. 100%. Yeah. It is possible. For sure. And it's very hopeful. But, you know, I don't know if we should be telling people that it could do that maybe in the future. So invest in my company or whatever the fuck's going on. You know?
I was at this crazy boondoggle and I saw a bunch of these people talk. And everybody was clapping. And I was like, this is the scariest shit I've ever heard. And I think it might have been Sam who was talking Altman. And everybody was just like, yay, let's give them money. And they all just saw money. Everyone sees money here. And the gold hills, I mean, we're going to need to build nuclear. We're going to need to power this shit. There's a lot of gold in those hills. And I was in the back with this guy.
And I'm like, someone needs to stop it. It's the beginning of a terminating moment. It chills down my spine. Yeah. It's going to happen, though. You can't stop it. No. Unless the grid goes down or something, unless there is something catastrophic, asteroid hits the Earth, whatever, which I think there might be one coming. There is nothing we can do. Nope. The genie's out of the bottle.
Well, not just that. We have to do it because there's other people that are doing it. And if they get a hold of it first, it's over. That's the race to the bottom. Is it? I don't know. I mean, if we all have it, it eventually works for humanity instead of against us. I do think that, like, my husband thinks that our daughter will never need to learn how to drive. Probably. He's like, she's not going to need, because I was like, she wants to drive already. She's like, when I'm five, I can drive.
I'm like, no. She is, having kids is the best. I hate that there was so much rhetoric that I was growing up with about, like, how horrible it is. because it is, yeah. It's all by people who don't have kids. But it's so, it is, the other morning I go downstairs and she's like, I'm like, how are you doing? She's eating her breakfast. She's like, I just need to lay low. I was like, are we hiding from the mob? What is happening?
They're experimenting with news ways to talk. They're just so funny. She's like, and she just says the funniest stuff. She did a whole, my husband sent me a whole thing. She picks up everything. They pick up everything. yeah she was like i'm going to mothership and you're gonna go to new york i'm like where'd she get the new york accent front i'm going to mothership and you're going to new york to to tell jokes she's telling him all about this i'm like how does she pick all this it's the best thing in the whole world but yeah he he doesn't think she wants to drive and he's like she's not gonna need to know how to drive well she probably will learn how to drive but it won't be necessary
I think they're going to make the argument that autonomous driving is way safer. But I think it probably is. Oh, it is. Yeah. Yeah, I have auto drive on my Tesla. But they all have to be autonomous. Yes. It can't be. Exactly. No one's going to be allowed to drive. That's probably what's going to happen.
That's the only way. They're all going to be communicating with each other. There'll probably be roads that are set up where you can allow people to drive. How do you feel about that? I don't know. I like cars. Yeah, I do too. So it's not good. I like old cars too. I like driving. Yeah, I do.
It helps my brain unfurl. Well, I like machines. I'm into old machines. I like the way they work. Do you know how to fix cars? I know how to fix some things, but not really. Yeah. I mean, I know how to change spark plugs and change oil. Like basics? Yeah, normal stuff. But most cars don't even have spark plugs anymore.
No, it's weird. Yeah, it's all wild. You open up the back of a Porsche. Look at the engine. You're like, what the fuck is that? And Teslas only have one gear? I don't understand how that even... Have you ever been in one? No. Oh, dude. I didn't bring mine today.
Oh, wait. No, I have been in one. Next time I have mine, you got to go for a ride. Yeah. Mine's insane. The new one. Yeah. It goes 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds. That's nuts. It's a time issue. How does it do that?
because it has 1,000 horsepower and four-wheel drive and incredible electrical engines that just instantly generate torque and power. That's crazy. It just takes off. They're amazing. And it also self-drives. It doesn't self-drive. It changes lanes. It stops for stop signs. It stops for red lights. It turns.
It's incredible. It changes lanes when there's obstructions in front of it. Can you take your eyes off the – can you, like, text and stuff? Can you be a passenger? You could, I guess. People have fallen asleep at the wheel, famously. But don't they give you, like, strikes or something like that? Like, Tesla itself will... Yeah. Supposedly, if you're not looking... That's kind of creepy.
Yeah, it's creepy. Yeah. It's all creepy. But if you want to do it right, that's how you have to do it. You can't just let people take naps and just press play. But isn't that the point? I want to be in my car typing. Well, eventually, you'll be able to do that. Eventually, it won't even have a steering wheel. Eventually, it'll be a pod that you get in, and it takes you places. This reminds me of that Silicon Valley episode where the self-driving car drives right into one of the shipping containers and then he's just stuck in a shipping container.
I didn't see that. Oh, it's so good. I never watched that show. That show is brilliant. Yeah, it's weird. But again, if you go back to the people that were on trains and riding horses and you say one day you're going to be able to get in a car that goes 1.9 seconds, 0 to 60, and it's going to be electric and make no sound. You'd be like, what? Well, one day you're not going to need to steer because steering is why people get fucked up because the cars can't detect other cars around them. They change lanes. People make mistakes. They go forward when they shouldn't.
They run red lights. All that's going to end. So I'm like a half hour out of the city. And every time I drive to and from, almost every time there's an accident, I always see. The other night I was driving home actually from Mothership. It was like 1.30 in the morning and there was a guy on the left side of the freeway walking. Yeah. There's no space, by the way. I was like, what is happening right now? People are texting. They're not paying attention.
No, there are trucks behind me. Yeah. It was nuts. I was like, this guy is either like on drugs and crazy or it's like some Jason Bourne situation where he was like limping. He probably broke down and had to walk. No, he looked crazy. Oh, crazy person. Just had to flirt with death. It was, I mean, Texas is a little, it feels a little unhinged. Does it? Compared to L.A.?
When was the last time you were back in L.A.? No, I mean, I was just there. I was there two days before the fires. People are unhinged. Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, it feels a little wild. And you realize it's not going to get any better. I like the, I like the, it makes, I'm coming up on two years here. So what do you mean by wild? It feels wild to me.
It still feels very like the Wild West or like Texas. There's just an energy here of kind of every time I'm down on 6th Street, I'm like, I'm going to catch a stray down here. Well, 6th Street is wild. Where the club is, that's a wild place. It's fucking bonkers out there. Yeah. But that also makes the club exciting. You might catch a stray while you're waiting. No. Not that. But all the people, the foot traffic, you know, there's an energy on that street.
Yeah. No, I like it. Yeah. And I like the kind of when I even coming from L.A. driving in Texas, I was like, these people are out of their fucking minds because it's so much bigger. And it's like 80 miles an hour speed limits everywhere out where I am. So everyone's actually doing 90. And I would be driving and I'm like, they're like, get out of the way, grandmas. And I'm like, I'm doing fucking 85. Like, it's not like I'm going slow. Are you in the left lane? No.
No. I'd be in the middle lane. And they're still trying to get you out of the way? Yeah, I was a grandma. I had to up my game. Well, didn't you see that in L.A. too? Yeah, but it was always like street racing kids, like maybe out further. How often could you get your car to 80 miles an hour driving around L.A.? At nighttime. I mean at night. Yeah.
I'd see a lot of people driving super fast at night in L.A. Yeah, yeah. More unhinged people, I think. Really? Yeah, because I would see people driving recklessly on the 101. Like when I was coming home from the store sometimes, I'd be like, what the fuck? That's me going home, though. Like it's, I don't know. It's pretty nuts. Well, when people live a half an hour away from the city and they want to get home quick, that's how you do it.
Now it's me. Gotta hit the gas. Now I'm the one who's doing 95. Well, it's those people, too. No, it's true. I don't know. I'm glad I moved here. I remember you saying like it feels. My husband's blood pressure actually went down. when he moved here. Yeah, there's less people.
But it's also just like everything is less of a battle. You said it to me, I think, like you felt like you could exhale on one of our, like when you were talking, you're like, I moved there and just felt like, I can like breathe a little. And I mean, my husband has like scientific evidence that he, his whole like energy field got more chill. Yeah, you're not supposed to be living in a place that has 20 million people. I think it's bad for you.
Have you ever been to Cairo? No. Cairo's nuts. Yeah. It's the craziest city I've ever been in. I want to go. When you went to the pyramids, when was it? How long ago? Oh my gosh. It was crazy. It was right after the revolution.
So we went in 20... It was 2000... When was the Arab Spring? That was Internet Times. It was 20... 2011? 2012? I want to say 2011, 2012. What's that? 2010, Arab Spring. So it must have been 2011.
That was one of the first revolutions that the internet was credited with starting. Yeah, and no one was there. So everyone was like, why the fuck are you guys in Egypt? We got basically a private tour of the whole country. We were on a cruise on the Nile and it was supposed to be hundreds of people. There were 14 people on the cruise. and we got to see there's usually lines to go into the great pyramids we there were no lines no lines at the to see king tut nothing there was no one was anywhere it was it was a weird time to be in egypt and we saw i went to alexandria was in cairo um went and did like a nile cruise which was amazing i mean it he just you gotta go yeah it's amazing did you get this weird feeling that like how did this go away yeah that's what that's what i don't understand and i had i think i had
like a mental breakdown when i was there like a weird i was we were in the hospital not the hospital i want i felt like i should get checked into a hospital i was we were staying in um like the nile across from the all the tombs the like king's tombs and i kept feeling this like pulse and I had like a panic attack when I was there basically it was the weirdest thing though I kept feeling this pulse was like won't won't was this when you were doing drugs no no I mean I was drinking still but I wasn't doing drugs and I I was like I'm gonna have a I felt I thought I was gonna end up in a straight jacket and I thought I had like a panic attack I had like these crazy dreams and i was like oh this is where it all started for like my whatever it was fucking it's weird it's a weird energy do you think you were getting this feeling like like you said like here it's in the soil there's something in the soil here like this fierce independence because these people are tough and they survived making it across the great plains and all that shit do
you think you felt that there like this is the the the feeling of this civilization that used to exist in this place? Yeah, it felt to me, I feel like I had like a past life regression, if that's even a thing. It was like, I felt like whatever journey I've been on, on this planet, it started there. And I went back to the source and it was like a weird, like my dreams were crazy. It was, I couldn't, thank God the guy I was with was like nice and kind, but I couldn't, It was like a full-blown panic attack. I couldn't even leave the hotel room. And do you think that's just because of being in Egypt? It was just being in Egypt. Do you think it's because you knew what the civilization was like and it had declined and gone and now you're there and you're just psychologically dealing with this and you're kind of freaking out and putting it on yourself? So they had—I have always been obsessed with Egypt since I was a little kid.
just unnaturally obsessed with it. It was like I read every book about it when I was a kid. I wanted to go there. I don't know why. And I felt like, you know, I like to believe in past lives because I think it's amusing. I'm like, if I can choose, it sounds like a fun. It's like, why not? And I've always felt very connected to it. And so when I went there and was across from, we were in the King Farouk suite, actually,
And it had a balcony that overlooked the Nile and the tombs. And it was I could feel it was like something in my heart, like a vibration. And they've said that these places like where there are these pyramids, they can have vibrations. I learned this later. But this was like a weird like it kept hitting my heart. And then I thought they drugged me. I thought they gave me something in my hibiscus tea because I started like I immediately I drank the hibiscus tea. And I was like, maybe they put some kind of like hallucinogen in it. But I think I just I like I think about this a lot because I've had friends who have had anxiety and panic attacks. And I know what it's like to like get in your head and feel like you're losing your mind. And I had to baby step my way out of this like panic attack where I couldn't eat. I was unable to keep food down. I just took a bath and was like, I'm going to just never happened to you before.
No, I had had like I've had anxiety. I feel for people of anxiety. I had anxiety before, but it was when I was smoking a lot of weed and doing a lot of drugs, and I was in a marriage I didn't want to be in to my first husband. So your life was a mess. And I just was lying to myself. I think depression and anxiety can be very useful signposts for something in your life. You're either doing something you shouldn't be doing or you're not doing something you should be doing. You got a course correct. Yeah. It's giving you motivation.
Or it's saying like there's something it's like a soul calling for you to check check in. So I yoga kind of saved me from that time I got divorced. It's somewhat went away. I've talked about my hypochondria so that I dealt with that. But then I was this was different. It was like a weird my body physiologically reacted to it, too. so I like not to be too much information but I like randomly got a period out of nowhere it was just weird my body started like I threw up I got a period all at once and it was such a it's like it's the most supernatural thing that's ever happened to me well there was another time that was really supernatural when I was in Newport Rhode Island and I swear there was like a haunting but other than that this was it felt supernatural like it didn't feel normal and it took me two full days to like whatever hit me in my heart on that balcony and I couldn't like all I could hear was this like want want and it was reverberating from the I sound like a crazy person but it was reverberating from the tombs and then I would just I remember eating a grape so slowly and mindfully just to like come back into my body and I had these like crazy dreams and I felt like I I saw all these connections, like people in my life present.
And it was it was really it was weird. It was in that moment when I like had a physical reaction where it was like a scene from a movie. It was like zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, like all these people in my life. And the guy was with, thank God, he could have been a total asshole and been like, you're a fucking psycho. I'm leaving you. but he had had a weird experience with me in his guest house in um in new zealand where i would fall asleep sometimes downstairs when or we'd pass out or whatever and i was like did you have a dog because i was like convinced there was a ghost because i kept feeling some weird sense and he's like don't talk about the dog and then it turns out there was like a dog and his kids like he had it and then wanted to get rid of it and it's something this sore thing he's like how the fuck did you know it's a dog and i was like oh because the energy was like a puppy energy and i was like
what happened to the dog he's like nothing don't ever talk about the dog and i was like okay so he's like you're weird and psychic and like a weird sick you have like a weird thing he was like you're touched by something like and we used to play backgammon all the time and one time that i like rolled a dice and it's i'm sure it was just lint but it like i wanted to win so badly and then the dice just was on his corner just frozen so he had weird like just on the court tip of it just like he's like what the fuck you're a witch so he was he had slightly unsettling things with me that enough that i think he was like all right maybe she's not totally well they say that places have memory right this place i mean egypt is so special i haven't been obviously but i felt weird when i went to chichen itza that feels very weird oh okay yeah i had it i had to i was like baby stepping i still get slightly like and my life has never been the same really since like it was it was it was uh and egypt is cairo's bonkers but egypt is the nile i remember just like
cruising down the nile and being on the deck and you feel you can feel what it was like like you're just like this is what memory yeah yeah and the tombs are all very it's very i don't know it's very spiritual for me it was like a very um i felt like a pilgrimage that i didn't know i was taking that's how it felt to me look it makes sense it was the most sophisticated civilization maybe ever in terms of their building you have to go i feel like you would love it i know i would love it i know i just don't have the time i almost did it with mr beast he went in december i was gonna try to do it and do it with him he wanted to do a podcast there but i just couldn't make it happen i had too busy yeah it's it's and it's a hike yeah i need to take like a good solid couple weeks yeah go there it needs to be something that i know that i'm going to be there for a couple weeks yeah right now that's not really possible yeah yeah yeah you know i mean i went to um the visit the site of the illicinian mysteries and i was with brian mirror rescue where's that it's in uh
Greece. And that was wild. Really? That was wild. That place has a memory for sure. Yeah. Just like touching the walls. Like it just feels weird. You just feel like this is different. Like you're in the presence of something very strange. That was Egypt. Whatever the energy I was, I bet Egypt was probably even more incredible, but whatever the end, the energy of that place was, there's some of it left there. There's some weird intangible feeling that's left there that just makes you I feel very, very strange. When I was in L.A. at the Getty Villa, I always go there, and they had the Thrace exhibit. What's that? Thrace is like a – I didn't know anything about it. It's a civilization that was partially in Bulgaria.
I think it came after ancient Greece. There it is. Treasures from Bulgaria, Romania, and Greece. This statue is fucking insane. It looks like it's looking at you. Look at the eyes. It's insane. insane to see it in real life. This exhibit that's there right now is truly one of the most special exhibits I've ever seen.
I go to all of them that I can there. And that is... Wow, look at that face. That's amazing. It's crazy. And I knew nothing about this civilization and society. And the more I learn about it, the more obsessed I am. But all of this stuff had its own... Like when the fires were around the villa, I was like, oh, God, I hope that all this stuff is okay.
I mean, those walls are like fireproof and they've got. I'd never heard of this before. I'd never even really heard of Thrace. I've always been very obsessed with Greek mythology, Roman history, all of these things. But Thrace is this crazy civilization. Look at the relief with two Thracians. I want to see if I have the. That's crazy. Yeah, if you're back in LA, I think that exhibit is there until March. March 3rd, I believe. Maybe it says temporarily closed on top.
I don't know if it's because of the fires. Probably. Oh, okay. Yeah, I think the Getty's temporarily closed. The Getty's now open. The Gettyville will remain closed until further notice. Oh, okay. I thought they reopened for some reason. But yeah, they must still be closed from the fires. Someday someone's going to be doing that with the World Trade Center. They're going to be wandering around now.
This is where they used to live. They used to go to school here. They used to work in these buildings. That's going to happen. You think? Yeah, the same way we go through the Acropolis in the Parthenon and wander around and imagine what it was like living back then. People are going to do that with us. Every civilization collapses. We're just trying to hold this one off as much as we can. And they usually last a couple hundred years, which is ours.
Yeah, we're pretty young. I mean. Yeah, but a lot of them haven't made it past where we got to. It always reminds me of that porno for pyro song. Which one? The pets. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's like, my friend says we're like the dinosaurs. And here we are doing ourselves in much faster than they ever did. Yeah. I don't know if that's real.
The dinosaurs? No. The other thing, we're doing ourselves in faster than them. No, they got hit by a rock. We might too. I was like, oh, no. We are coming to dangerous territory where we find out Joe doesn't believe in dinosaurs. I was watching. We were talking about Candace Owens last night. Candace Owens, like I said, dinosaurs are fake and gay. Is that what she says?
Yeah. Oh. I don't know what she means by that. She might just be having fun. This whole Bridget McCrone thing, though, is crazy. Did you watch any of it? No. No. No, I got no time. But I did see a comparison to the photographs of the person that she's claiming is actually like the brother. Oh, the brother.
Didn't the brother disappear or something? Yeah, the brother disappeared. And the brother literally looks exactly like her. I mean, to a fucking T. She was kind of on the like Blake and Ryan thing too, I think. Yeah. She's a sleuthin. She's been a sleuthin. Look at these. okay that's pretty freaking weird i'll send it to jamie because this is i mean she's just going all in first of all i don't even know if this is a real picture i mean this easily could be some
ai bullshit that somebody created to try to pretend that the brother is actually her but the brother is like not to be found and if that's real see i don't know if that's real i don't know if that's real because I mean the fucking teeth are the same. Like everything's the same. Every wrinkle of the face is the same. If that's if that was my brother, if my brother looked, I'd be like, wait a minute, we're not twins? So we're not twins. Like what? It looks photoshopped. The mouth definitely looks photoshopped. How so? Because like you said, the teeth are exact. Yeah.
Exact. In the exact position. Right? Yeah, they're not even almost Right. It looks fake. It looks like somebody doctored up. Somebody used AI. I've seen cracks in the lips. right here. Pretty much, right? That's probably bullshit. That mouth is photoshopped. Yeah. So you can't tell what's real and what's not real online anymore. Nothing's real. Nothing. You literally can't tell. You have to operate from the idea that this is not real. You have to start there now. Right. But also this is just the beginning. Like, what are we going to be looking at five years from now? We're going to be looking at indescribable experiences that are indistinguishable from reality not just like images but you're going to be able to like they're you're going
to be able to have experiences that aren't real do you do you think that the like metaverse thing is going to take off like people are going to be plugging in yeah if it gets good enough yeah and cheap enough because it's kind of expensive it's expensive and it's also weird to have something in your face people feel weird like wearing this big clunky thing but if you can sit down and attach something to your head and then all of a sudden you're in another world and you're an avatar flying on a fucking dragon. We're going to do it. I mean, isn't Redman really into that? Oh, loves it. He's famous in the metaverse. He goes in there every night.
He has parties and stuff. He's a nut. It's perfect for someone like him. He's a video game guy, loves the internet. Matt was telling me. He took him to a comedy. You can do a type 5 at a comedy club there. Oh, yeah. It's crazy. Well, Zuckerberg showed me that, too. There's a metaverse comedy club.
Yeah, but he's like, you had to know people to get in, and he's famous. I was like, this is not there. It's nuts that this already exists to me. Well, it's just the beginning. It's only good. That's pong, you know, and whatever it's going to be like 20 years from now is going to be something really wild. Isn't it weird to think that like you might just exist forever in the in the metaverse talking because you've done so many podcasts will just be able to cut and paste and make you kind of like not even just that.
They'll be able to get a God in the future. Well, they'll be able to get a map of how I think and how I go over things and how I go. Well, maybe not. Let's look at that. And then they'll apply that sort of thinking. And they'll be able to do podcasts with me with anyone in history. I'll be able to have a podcast with Albert Einstein. I always think about this when I see the people who get tattoos of you. I'm like, future civilizations are going to be like, who was this man? He must have been someone important.
Maybe a shaman or a brahmin. No, he's a bro cage fighting commentator. Yeah, me and Einstein. Oh, no. Just chilling. Look at him. That's a young Einstein too I was looking into this They can already do it What? Let me hear this
They don't have their voices Oh they don't have their voices But I've seen one where they did Oh Nikola Tesla Ooh I'd love to have a podcast with him They already did a podcast with me and Steve Jobs Did they? Yeah an audio one An audio podcast with me and Steve Jobs It's crude You can kind of tell that it's not real
But that's just because it's first generation That's really weird Yeah, we got to wrap this up, Bridget. Okay. Thank you very much, my friend. Always great to see you. Thank you for having me.
