The first half of this episode was on his channel and the second half of the episode is here now. Today's guest is the powerful Joe Rogan. ["I Will Find A Song"] I'm on the stage. ["I Will Find A Song"] Thanks, man. Nice to see you, bro. Good to see you too. Yeah man.

We had a fun time. We were just talking about how if we had a camera on us when we were in Vegas having dinner a couple weeks ago that one night. Bro we were so silly. We were dying laughing. After UFC? Dying laughing. Yeah your buddies were there.

One of them, there was pro pool players? Yes. Yeah. Jeremy Jones and Carl Boyce. And they were, they had been swimming in a pool of beer. They'd been playing in a deep end of a pool of beer. They were there for six hours of the fights drinking. They were cooking.

Because they got there with me, so they started watching the fights at like 3.30 PM. Yeah. Oh, during that Chris Wyvern fight, one of them kept yelling hole in one over and over again, so I yeah I knew that they were fucking you and one. Yeah, I'm just getting pretty good Yeah, dude that was fun that dinner was fun it was fake that place was fancy in there But it was a good time, and you just got back from Scotland yeah well how was it oh Joe Rogan did they call did they talk to you like that old Joe they took with that yeah yeah I don't want to do an impression of it I'll fuck it up but I like it over there it's beautiful would you like was there I

think that it's like it's one of the most beautiful places but it's like very lightly populated. I almost don't want to talk about it because it's so cool because there's not a lot of people there. Oh yeah. But it's also there's like some shit there that's so old. They had some guide stones on this property and they said, I go how old these things? They're like thousands of years old. We don't even know. We don't know who put them there. Don't know why they're there.

So these like 4,000, 5,000 year old stones that are sticking out of the ground, they have a stone circle there that's older than Stonehenge. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah, Stonehenge is crazy, dude. I remember when in school they would teach us like,

Stonehenge, it's crazy. Who knows what happened, you know? Like Smurfs, aliens, like they had all this crazy shit they would teach us like Stonehenge, it's crazy, who knows what happened, you know? Like Smurfs, aliens, like they had all this crazy shit they would teach you and then They taught you about that in school? Yeah, yeah Smurfs? Or just everybody didn't know what it was about, right? But then Stonehenge is by Smurfs?

Jamie, did you get that in Ohio? Did they teach you that? I learned about it all at the same time like him, probably Yeah, this is during the 80s, bro, early 90s. And, but then we went there one time, we were touring and we drove by and literally they had an exit for Stonehenge and it was just right there. It was like a rest area.

It was just like right off the highway. And when you went there, was it impressive? No, it was like, I was impressed cause I'd learned they didn't give a fuck. There's like people over there just like changing their kids in front of it and stuff on the ground. Like people didn't give a shit. And you could people over there just like changing their kids in front of it and stuff on the ground It was walk up to it and touch it right? It's right there, dude. They had like a sign that was like um I Don't even think I said, please don't touch it was like just something more vague than that

Did you ever see the Georgia Guidestones? the Georgia Guidestones were This thing that I don't know if they know who built it. Do they know who funded that thing? I don't think so. I don't think they were funded. The Georgia Guidestones, somebody spent a lot of money to make these giant stone statues with the guides to how to keep a civilization intact.

And then- Oh, like the rules? Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. it's written in a bunch of different languages So what is it like? So somebody blew it up man? No. Oh, yeah, let's sit down the bottom Somebody somebody blew it up and then they decided after the person blew up part of it to destroy it all Which I don't understand that logic. Why they wouldn't just rebuild it? Why didn't just rebuild it? So, a mysterious monument meant to guide into an age of reason was destroyed after an apparent bombing. That's, and that right there is like a perfect example of existence, it feels like.

Yeah. How about just leave it there? Yeah. Okay, June of 1979, a man going by the pseudonym of R.C. Christian, approached the Elberton Granite Finishing Company with the task of building a monument. He said that no one was ever to know his true identity or the group that he was representing, or that of the group that he was representing. He seemed to have an endless supply of money to fund the project, and by the terms of the legal contract, all plans had to be destroyed after completion, and all information about him was held from the public. So the stones are finished in 1980.

They carry a tablet in the front, proclaiming, let these be guide stones to an age of reason. Engraved in the stones are 10 guidelines meant to reestablish the planet and society, perhaps after an apocalypse. They're written in eight different languages, English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindu, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian, amongst other commandments preached to maintain humanity under 500 million in perpetual balance with nature. Wow. Rule, passion, faith, tradition, and all things with tempered reason. Balance personal rights with social duties. Be not a cancer on the earth. Leave room for nature."

Wow. Solid laws. Yeah, do you think- That's solid. Yeah, it seems like a great plan. Do you think that humanity is supposed to reach this place where we kind of get it all figured out, or do you think it's always just this constant ebb and flow of like step forward, step back or two steps forward, step back? We were talking about on the podcast, like what's happening in terms of like people slowly

turning into genderless aliens. Yeah. You know, I think, I think that's probably really what's going on. I don't think humanity ever gets together. I think humanity stops being humanity. Because I think what keeps us from getting it together, a lot of it, is if you think about the horrors of society, like violence, war, thievery, stealing resources,

all that stuff, imprisoning people, corruption, all those things are like, those are built in primal behaviors in human beings, especially with unchecked power. And I think that as long as we're just human beings, we're gonna have those things. We'll have less and less of them. We have way less now than we had

during fucking King Henry VIII. Like back during King Henry VIII, you couldn't have a podcast, he would fucking kill you. When he wanted to get rid of his wives, he just chopped their fucking heads off. Give me get a get a new one get rid of her off with her head You couldn't do that right? Was it was it Henry the eighth that was off with her head It wasn't he the guy He had like a few of them

He would see it now it would be his wife would make a tick-tock about it in a heartbeat I feel like her sister would oh, yeah, she was like that motherfucker. There was nothing wrong with her head. He said her head was cursed. Henry is lying. Yeah, nowadays are different man. So that's like Steven Pinker's work if you follow his work on violence and crime. People always wanna think that violence and crime

is more now than ever before, but the reality is when you look at the course of human history, there's never been a more safe time to be alive than right now. What do you think it looks like coming up? Do you think like people start to like, if fear, if people continue to be so like full of fear, do we do people like resort back to like their tribal nature or what kind of starts to happen? They definitely do if the power goes out. The only thing that keeps society together is power.

As soon as power goes out, you have no electricity, you have no cooling, so you can't stay in places where it's too hot and you can't live in places where it's too cold. You're in a bad spot there. So then if you're living in a place where it's too cold, you're heavily dependent upon firewood. So a big part of your day is getting firewood.

You have to make sure you have enough enough if you're living in Siberia You have to have a fucking shit pile of firewood, and you never let that fire go out I get a bunch ever you need to have a bunch I would I get there early you gotta keep that fucking fire going man because if you're stuck out there And it's 70 degrees below zero like you'll die dude imagine you fall asleep And it fucking goes out and then you have to wake up the other people And tell them guys aren't using matches to start fires either because you know that's one of the things that survival So tell you it's like you're gonna run out of matches

You should learn how to start a fire without matches So you gotta learn how to start a fire with steel and flint and you know how it's fucking not easy There's some fire starters you can get like They're pretty good have you seen people do like when you go I've done stuff you have I've done yeah I've started fires with these little flint sticks so it's like it's like a piece of steel and a piece of flint and there's these little things called fire starters and some people make them too one of the ways they make them is they take cotton balls, like cotton swabs, and they soak them in Vaseline. And so then you take tinder. So you have like,

some people use steel wool. Oh yeah. They use different things that you can like, there's, you can, you can make it with like shavings and dry the shavings out. And then you slowly get little sparks onto those shavings and then once you get it going then you put some little sticks on then you put some bigger sticks on now you have a fire yeah and they say you should know how to do that because you don't want to be on that last match going fuck fuck yeah you have to know how to actually start a fire the best way is with tools I tried to start a fire when I was in the Boy Scouts with the bow. I don't know if you ever did that one with like there's a stick and you wrap it back

and forth and back and forth. Oh yeah and you do it like that or whatever? The cotton-eyed Joe or whatever? I got it to smoke. I got blackness came out of it. I never got a fire. Damn. I never got it to the point where I could like light something on fire there.

Yeah. But I was also dumb. I didn't realize you got to like put little tiny pieces of wood down in there once it starts going and blow on it I didn't I thought I was a fire was gonna get going just fucking go on What um in Scotland do you see any good music AC DC's from Scotland? Oh, yeah That's what I was thinking of earlier when we're talking No, that's not I was thinking of earlier when we're talking for those no that's not them those about to rock is that them fire we saw ACDC is yeah you son of a bitch changing it well they keep changing it thank you changed it it's like Berenstein Bears you know it's like the

Mandela effect yeah that's what it is What um, yeah, what's a famous band that is from Scotland then take that back two of the members are from Glasgow. So Jamie came at your heart there What else do they sing ACDC long way to the top back in black Yeah, Hell's bells. Yeah, hell's bells. Back in black. Yeah.

Hell's bells. Whole lotta rosy. Hell's bells. I've heard that one, I don't think. Whole lotta woman. Yeah, you have. You have. Whole lotta rosy.

You know that song. Maybe I have heard it. You never heard that song? Come on, son. Say it again. Listen, give me a little whole lotta rosy. Whole lotta. You gotta hear this. You never heard this song? I don't think so. There's no way you never heard this song. that song come on son say it again listen give me give me a little whole lot of rosie you gotta hear this you never heard this song there's no way you never heard the song this is a this is a bon scott acdc classic the early days

that's a wasn't it bon scott I never heard it. Pretty. And exactly small. Four, two, three, nine, fifty-six. You can change your goddily! That's crazy, dude. Come on! Those were the fucking days, dude. It's just picking up. Give me a little more. Oh, we're in trouble already.

We're in trouble. It's your show. It's your show. That's true. We're in trouble, dude. Yeah, we're probably won't be able to play that. But what was it called? A Whole Lotta Rope. Edit that out. They will come for you. Did you see that Facebook put out new standards today for content moderation? No, I did see that they're supposed to, that uh, that Dana White was doing something with Mark Zuckerberg.

And that they were- He's part of his board now. And that they were gonna allow more free speech, that's what they said. They're gonna allow more free speech and allow people to not be restricted to talk about things were hot button issues before. So, and they're gonna remove,

they're gonna remove the content moderation for a type of community notes. Facebook and Instagram get rid of fact checkers. The problem with fact checkers is there's been a lot of fact checkers that were just wrong and it's very ideologically based. Especially anything that has to do with climate change or anything that has to do with vaccines or anything that has to do with anything pharmacologically. Yeah, it says in a video posted alongside a blog post by the company on Tuesday,

chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said, third party moderators were too politically biased and it was time to get back to our roots around free expression. But do you think they're really, I wonder if there's something else going on because I find it hard to believe they're really willing to give up that bias, you know?

Like I started to- Well, it's probably not good for business to keep that bias. They're in a business. Right. Their business is social media. And if Twitter sets the standard, which it clearly does, so Twitter is the most wild of all big platforms.

You can get away with a lot of shit on Twitter. Yeah. That has not been the case with Facebook or Instagram. And if Twitter continues to have the kind of engagement that it has because it lets people go wild. And I know there's a lot of criticisms about even Twitter's content moderation, but everybody has to admit it's certainly better than everywhere else. It's like, there's a dispute now about whether or not people should be demonetized, right? Whether if you're allowed to speak on the platform, if they

can say you're saying things we don't like, we're gonna be able to take away your ability to make money. Well you're kind of censoring people in a way. Totally. Because you're enforcing self-censorship. Yeah. Because they're not gonna say those inflammatory things anymore, because then they need an Adrian Ditman account, right? Right. And he will have accounts to talk some shit,

blow a little steam off, talk a little shit about the government. Is AI, what if a, but how do we know that the information in AI isn't being adjusted to fit whatever they want it to say? Like, that's one thing I always thought like. It is. It certainly is. Like that was the problem with Google's Gemini when it first came out.

You know, Google's Gemini when it first came out, they said make images of Nazi soldiers. They had multicultural Nazi soldiers. Did you see that? Uh-uh. Oh, you have to see it. You have to see it. You're going to freak out. They had all types of Nazi soldiers?

They had black Nazi soldiers. They had a Native American Nazi. Oh, at least everybody was doing it. You have to see it. You're gonna freak out. They had all types of Nazi soldiers? They had black Nazi soldiers. They had a Native American Nazi. Oh, at least everybody was doing it. They had Chinese Nazis. Bro, so dumb! But it's like that's when you try to be woke and you attach it to everything. Look, oh, well you're not representing reality.

I said show me Vikings, not Chinese midgets. Like, what are you doing? Like, what are you doing? Why are you showing me this? Because it's, woke is not reality. And are you doing? Like what are you doing? Why are you showing me this? Because it's woke is not reality. And if you do that with AI, like look at this, look at those images. Hehehehe. Look at that, it looks like guys from fucking Nigeria.

In the lower left hand corner. Look at the Native American lady with her braids. That's so crazy, that's a Nazi soldier. She's a cutie kinda. She is kinda cute. But look at that, that's nuts. So if that's artificial intelligence, that's not intelligent at all. Right. You're ignoring the reality of what a Nazi looks like. Right. But you'd only need a couple generations that it feels like to end up just brainwashing every, you know, 100% like that's the thing. It's super scary. It's like, instead of controlling what people write, you control what the paper will say right 100% It's almost like controlling He who controls the AI controls in the narrative of the whole country And it's gonna be smarter than you and me like you and me if we have an opposition to something

Maybe we could say it in a funny way Maybe we can like relate to people because they know the way we think but AI is gonna be way better communicating So it's gonna be like we're gonna look stupid Like have you ever had a debate with someone who's way smarter than you and they're making more points than you and you're stuck? Your episode of the Wild Girl. It's frustrating, right?

But you're trapped and you're like, ah, fuck, I can't really articulate this as well. Most of my life is like that. Right, so imagine that, but with the smartest people in the world not being able to keep up. Because AI is going to literally be like, not just the smartest person in the world, but all of the smartest people in the world together.

Wow, fuck. Yeah, that's it. I just worry then whoever controls that is going to control everything. Exactly. And these fucking eggheads that are running us towards the edge of the cliff have to do what they're doing because China's doing it and they're stealing our data for sure You know, but let them have it. What are they getting? They're they're replicating our research. They're making ai as well They're way ahead in a lot of stuff man way ahead china's way ahead in drone technology way ahead

But what is somebody could like sometimes I guess with drone they can come in I guess eavesdrop they can see what's going on Commercial drones. Okay. I don't know what the military has and this was like a big subject of the Sean Ryan podcast the other day Do you know about this? Yeah, they had a guy on there who came through and said that oh that Liversburg guy the guy who Supposedly blew himself up in the Tesla Cybertruck in front of Trump Tower. So there's a guy who came on the Sean Ryan podcast and said that this dude, Matthew Littlesberger, is that what I said, who apparently was on a television show

12 years ago with Tim Kennedy. Oh yeah, I saw that. Green Beret TV show where they did Green Beret shit. Pretty cool. Yeah. So this guy wrote this manifesto. He sent this, not, I wouldn't say a manifesto, but a statement. And in that statement, there was no indication he was going to blow himself up in that statement, by the way.

The statement was just talking about what he knew. And what was the problem was that these Chinese drones are operating on this anti-magnetic technology and that we have this technology as well. Was that the stuff that the guy who came on here was talking about that time? Here's what he says. Here's what he says. What we've been seeing with drones is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered by aircraft, mostly recently China in the East Coast, but throughout history

the US only. Only we in China have this capability. Our open location for this activity in the box is below. China has been launching them from the Atlantic, from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up. As of now, it's just a show of force and they're using it similar to how they use the balloon for Cignet and ISR, which are also part of the integrated comm system. There are dozens of these balloons in the air at any given time. So what is, because of the speed and stealth of these unmanned AC,

they are the most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed. They basically have an unlimited payload capacity and can park it over the White House if they wanted. It's checkmate. Wow. U.S. government needs to give the history of this, how they're employing it and can park it over the White House if they wanted. It's checkmate. Wow. The US government needs to give the history of this, how they're employing it and weaponizing it, how China is employing them and what the way forward is. China is poised to attack anywhere in the East Coast. Do you think that this is just, this seems to me also like a fear tactic?

It could be. It could be. Because it feels big like that. You know, when someone releases a letter like that and then blows themselves up where they don't have a chance to talk and shot himself in the head with a fucking desert eagle. You ever seen a desert eagle? It's a giant overkill of a gun. It's like a 50 caliber pistol. What is it?

Is it a desert eagle 50 caliber? Yes. I don't know. I mean, they found the desert eagle. I don't know if this officially said that. But didn't they say that he shot himself in the head? They said there was a gunshot wound to the head of the victim in the car. And it's the worst too because. Yeah, they didn't even claim it was him yet. Right. Wow. They have it. No, because the DNA is so destroyed. I mean, he's cooked. So they have to, you know, sample DNA and then run it through a lab

and then figure out if it's him. They think, they believe it's him though. Right. It's so crazy how when something happens now, it's like, there's, we get the news so fast, right? And we get video footage of it fast. Like we get a lot of things fast that you don't, you start getting so many ideas of what's happened

and so many like angles and lanes. And you've had two podcasts come out from different people before You even get anything from like the authorities, right? Right, but then you feel like you can't even trust the authorities anyway It's so wild how we just um are having a piece everyone is kind of piecing together for themselves. What has happened every time? That's crazy so that's that shows what it actually looks like when a.50 caliber shoots a skull that's wrapped up in that ballistic shell. Show one more time. Can we show this?

Yeah, watch this. Boom. It just gets destroyed. It's an enormous round. I mean it's massive overkill to shoot yourself in the head with one of those. But the question is why would you use a Cybertruck? Because one of the things about a Cybertruck is if you're trying to do damage,

a Cybertruck is way more robust than most trucks. I mean, you can't even, they're bulletproof. You know, I should try to shoot an arrow through one of them out here. Yeah, which is the worst thing ever to say about a vehicle. I have a Cybertruck. And it's the, because then everybody's like, oh, is it fucking bulletproof, bitch? You know they want to shoot at your truck everybody's like yeah

Look at this metal queer people would yell at me and shit like you like what is going on like it's just crazy I mean, but people want to challenge it. Yeah, they don't like it. There's a lot of people that either love those things I'm on that side or hate him. That's my whole family. Oh, yeah Gross I feel a little embarrassed when I get out of it sometimes I wouldn't have to get back in it It's a statement. Uh, I well I got it like five years I wanted it so bad and you can put it on a hundred bucks and say you had one kind of you know Like I got one on order. Yeah, I got one Everybody had one but the thing that um, you always feel like you're working for Lowe's but you're never dropping off

Whatever you're supposed to drop off to Yeah You feel like you're in a pickup truck? Yeah, I feel like I'm always like, I've got a- You are in a pickup truck actually. That's a good point. I feel like I've always got a washer dryer, but I've just don't know how to, it has a feeling to it like I work for Home Depot. And I'm delivering a Whirlpool.

Yeah, like oh. Something heavy. Yeah. Well, it's so heavy. I always, how was that feeling? That feeling of a refrigerator, it feels like. Bro, if you get in an accident with that thing, you're gonna do some damage Dude, I'll tell you what you don't want to do is get stuck in rural, Mississippi having to charge that bitch Yeah, no, they're in the holidays. Oh, no, what'd you do? Dude? Well, first of all, I pull up in this much circle

You look coyotes People were coming by looking at it, you know engines from a distance Yeah, challenging your technology people were like women were like who were like Baron were like rubbing their pussies against it and stuff I get that like I mean people were like thinking it had magical powers some brother came right up, right? The window cracked he ordered two black and miles from me like I was like, uh, I The window cracked he ordered two black and miles from me like I was like uh-uh Like I'm just charging like I'm gonna get you black and mad at you know Like I was in a like you can't even imagine where I was town probably 600 people How did they have a charger this one place had a charger?

It was like an IGA how long did it take you to charge that whole cyber truck? It took me two hours to just get enough to get out of there How many miles did you get with two hours where Where the charging? I would bet I got 40 miles. That's it? Yeah, it was a tough, I mean it took me half the day to get back to my mom's in Baton Rouge. See that's the problem with long distance unless you go to a place that has like cities where they have the superchargers. Yeah, well then when I drove back to Nashville, I hit like ones that had 300, 250 kilowatt hours. One has 400 kilowatt hours, it was a Mercedes dealership. Wow, so how quick would that charge you up?

That thing will charge you up, I bet, in about 45 minutes. It's still a long time. All the way to 320 miles. That's still a long fucking time. Dude, I plugged it in at my buddy's house, it gave me two miles an hour. So I woke up six hours later and had 12 miles.

That's so crazy. Yeah, so that was, but that was just like a lamp. Yeah. Basically. Yeah. Yeah, it takes a lot of electricity. Enough power to read by basically. Do you really save money though?

Have you ever looked at that? Like, it's like how much you're paying on gas versus how much does it cost for electricity? I don't think you really save any money. And especially if you have to charge on one of those trips Then it costs like it's pretty expensive to charge up like it's not more than gas But it's probably half the price dude, and then this was the worst thing so in Louisiana They put a couple chargers back behind this church's chicken, right? Soon as you start doing this, I know you got a point. This was my holidays, dude. It was tragic.

So I get off, they got a Church's Chicken, right? So to drive, the chargers are behind the Church's Chicken for some reason. But there's no lane to just drive back to the Chargers. You have to get in the to-go lane of the Church's Chicken for some reason. But there's no lane to just drive back to the Chargers. You have to get in the to-go lane of the Church's Chicken. So you have to go in. So there's a big line at the Church's Chicken, right? So I get in line.

I have to wait in line to go to the lady at the order thing, you know? She's like, take your order at the to-go order. And I'm like, I'm just going to the Charger. So then I go back there and now I have to like meander back and forth, like back and forth to get my car to park and it's hardly any room now I'm just facing the people who are waiting in line to pick up their chicken and there's two types people in the world there's like people that wait in line at a church's chicken in a drive-thru to get food and people who have a electric vehicle. They're two different people.

So all these people are like and then I had to leave right so I sit there vehicle right? They're just, they're two different people. Very. Oh, so all these people are like, and then I had to leave, right, so I sit there in charge, I had to leave. Some lady is like, wouldn't let me back in line because she didn't want me getting her chicken, right? She's like, can't get my chicken. And I'm like, I fucking, I don't want your chicken, right? I'm just trying to get out of here.

But there was no way to go around the line, like you had to get in the line to leave. Oh, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. So you had to order chicken in order to use their electricity. No, but I had to promise a lady I was not gonna get her chicken, dude. I'll give you $11 not to ever fucking even get any chicken from this place. Eleven? That's not enough. Or 27 or whatever. It just made me mad, dude. But anyway, just that whole, but just. How fast was that charger? That charger was pretty

quick. It's 250 kilowatts an hour, say about an hour and 15 minutes you could charge her. And you were ready to go? An hour and 15 minutes? I got out of there pretty, I got out of there early. I cut out early. But it was just a lot, man. I love driving a Tesla around town because I know I'll be able to park it at home or park it here and charge it. But if I had to go on a road trip, I would be very nervous. Yeah, I would say not do not do it That's what I was so it's like whatever the range is like, let's say the range is 360 miles Not the way I drive. You're not getting that you're getting 220 Yeah, 10 when you accelerate on the highway like we oh I pulled it into a charger with four or five miles left

right into that Then you that's like a pedestrian. I don't give a fuck. You're so close to being a pedestrian You're like minutes on a watch tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock From walking until you run out of water You're four minutes away fuck that dude You're four minutes away. Fuck that dude. But that was about to rock! Fire! See this, you can call a tow truck, they can come with a tank of gas, like that. But that one though, it'll show up.

They show up, you tip the guy, thank you brother, appreciate it. Where's the nearest gas station? He hooks you up, you pay for the gas, you pay for his service, you give him a tip. You drive to the gas station. Bro, that's a 15 minute ordeal. You're good to go. Filled. That's a 15 minute ordeal. Yeah, you're good to go filled up You got fucking beef jerky Bag of peanuts you're not gonna eat Yeah, you got a fucking uh, you're riding in your truck again You're a fart and huff it can we're talking about farting in the earlier episode?

Guys, I wonder if there's been a study on the drop in IQ from huffing your own farts driving trucks. It can't be good for you. Animals would do it. It can't be good. You know what I'm saying? I guess caved animals probably do it. It can't be good for you.

Just can't be. No, because it's your body trying to say no way. And then your nose is like, yeah, yeah. You know what's really bad for you? Scented candles. Really? Yeah. I was reading about this.

They're trying to figure out why there's been an uptick in lung cancer from people that don't smoke. And they're trying to figure out what it is. And they think it's, there's a combination of factors. Burning toxins, some cooking oils, when burned create problems and people inhaling, especially for prolonged periods of time, but also candles.

Candles are not good for you. Those scented candles, you're getting a bunch of funky chemicals. So if you have a one-bedroom apartment, right? You got a little bedroom, and you got like 10 candles in there, because you like it, it's sexy. You like to listen to fucking moody music. You like to lay on your back and jerk off with your legs in the air like that Yeah, listen to PJ O'Rourke listen to Joel Osteen

Yeah, I want to get moody Dude that has to be the craziest way to jerk off is laying on your back, legs in the air, right? Yeah, legs in the air. Yeah. Asshole to God. Hold on. And one of my buddies is like, sometimes I put a pillow under my butt.

I'm like, what is that for? I don't even feel comfortable stretching like that when I'm alone. You know, I stretch like that when I'm alone. I lie on my back and I get both of my ankles and I pull them down like this to work on my kicking flexibility. God damn brother. I don't even feel comfortable doing that

when I'm by myself. Just me by myself. Yeah, that's a lot. Stretching out my legs like this, like wee. That's hitchhiking for the devil right there. That's what I'm saying.

I believe that there's good and evil. Yeah, I do too. And some of it I believe is might be our own individual wars, you know? and I believe that there could be a group war. I'm amazed that at a group level, we don't start to say, Hey, this stuff is evil. And let's not do it. Right. But I think that's where like temptation and all that comes in. And yeah, I think it's pretty fascinating. Sometimes I'll wake up with and look at my life as like wow, this is a war I'm in this is a and I am the the

the The guy who's leading my vessel or whatever, you know, there is doing my best, you know doing my best That is kind of what it is. There's a lot of that, right? You're in a war of choices you're in a war of decisions and your war of good behavior and detrimental and destructive behavior and you know, I mean, especially guys like you that have gone through periods of addiction, you know, that's always a war of temptation in your mind. There's always going to be that there.

There's always going to be smelling salts. I'll hit it. I'll hit it. There's always going to be smelling salts to bring you. This is the dark road. Everybody wants to talk about gateway drugs. Oh, don't you bring out a new one

you son of a bitch. This one's strong enough, Jamie. Let's check. Is that strawberry? No. The thing is, they're so scary when they bring the new ones out. Like, I'm scared of the new ones Let's get all this one's so strong. Oh my god. This is already oh Feel a little of that God Let me know the differences Jamie you ride that little bit. You know the differences this one. I kept this on it. I

Didn't even realize I was doing it, but I kept that on it and then it was sealed. I was laying on my back and 69, this thing, brother. It's already gonna be strong, Joe. Quiet. Don't look at me when I do it. Hit it. Hit it. I didn't get enough.

You didn't get enough? No. Really? You didn't. Inhale. You got scared. You missed. You're right.

Oh my God! Oh my God! No! No, you don't do that. You don't do that. What you just did scared everyone. Take a break. Take a break. I'm sweating. I'm sweating too. Because of that. Sorry.

How are you? Are you okay? Bro, you just changed timelines. Because of you, Justin Trudeau resigned. Because of that. Give me another hit. Before that, before you did did that it was a different timeline Trump didn't win Trudeau didn't resign Mark Zuckerberg didn't start doing jujitsu. That's part of what happened by the way

I'll tell you oh or a fact Mark Zuckerberg started doing jujitsu and nothing turns you into a libertarian like jujitsu really oh, yeah Yeah, nothing turns you into a libertarian like jujitsu. Really? Oh yeah. Yeah. Nothing turns you into a person who like really values hard work and discipline and struggle like jujitsu. Because exposure of character on a level that like there's nothing else is like it. Wow. I hadn't thought about that that much yeah you could because you expose character in a way uh... that it's almost impossible even with other martial arts because of the martial arts you can only spar so much man believe me cuz i sparred too much he sparred a lot you get hurt

and you get hurt eventually you get dinged up to the point where your brain is just not firing so well anymore mhm like i was reading this horrible uh... story whether they're talking about Parkinson's and Muhammad Ali's daughter was talking about she remembers when she was young when he fought Leon Spinks the second time she could tell Afterwards that he talked different. Oh You know It's got to be tough for a kid, huh? And you probably pretend that he doesn't because you don't want to hurt his feelings or whatever

Well, you you must be so scared if you're a kid and your father is a fighter that has to be so terrifying Yeah, especially watch your fight I've seen people that bring their kids to a fight and then they get flatlined and they see the the terror in the kids eyes Where their father is fucking laid out unconscious bleeding from his mouth that doctors holding his head up and his feet are twitching yeah and sometimes the kid doesn't even know if the dad one or not he's still cheering you're like this is doesn't make any sense this kid is great that kid might have other problems that kid might be already sparring already yeah kids sparring young there's an argument for sparring young because you can't hurt each other. Oh, yeah

Sometimes I'll see like um reels on the internet of on social media of kids that are young sparring It's really funny sometimes. I don't know what to do As long as they learn control they got to learn control But if they learn control when they're young and they learn not to hit each other hard But just to do it fast man They can get so good because they don't hurt each other the way adults hurt each other hard, but just to do it fast, man, they can get so good, because they don't hurt each other the way adults hurt each other. Like once you get to be like 170 pounds, man, you can generate a lot of force.

And so if you're sparring hard with another guy that's 170 pounds, you're blasting each other in the face and the legs and the body. It's like, oh God, you do so much damage. So much damage, but little kids don't do that kind of damage. They just slap each other a little, pat, pat, pat, They just tap each other. It's like a good way to learn.

Cause you learn the movements. Oh, if I could go back and be a kid? Is that what you'd do? I mean, I would slap. Cause if you could go back in time being a kid, think of all the stuff you would do. Well, let me tell you this. If you were 90 years old right now,

God, if I go back in time when I was 44 and limber. It's true, huh? That's what you would do. Back in time, Theo Vaughn, for 2025. Oh my god I should have taken jujitsu back then I could have been a badass in ten years If you take jujitsu right now by 54 you can be a black belt you think I could 100% Yeah, you're an addict. All you have to do is get addicted to jujitsu. Yeah, that's what happens a lot of addicts

They get addicted to running Come marathon runners like my friend John Joseph. He became an Iron Man guy. Just are doing Iron Man What about Goggins it was he did he ever suffered addiction? I don't know if you know not a dick. Oh, yeah, that's right, huh? Yeah, I think we all have that what I'm I get sugar sometimes I'll uh Sugar's a good one. God. I just want something that Gatorade's that sugar free Gatorade or regular. I told him to get sugar Zero, I asked you. You're good. You want a little bit of it? No. You want to taste this whiskey? You want a gram of this shit?

Dude, I would get so uh, I've just been getting so dehydrated. First of all, why is dehydration more of a thing now? Dude, when I was growing up, nobody was like, are you dehydrated? We were talking about that the other podcast. That's why this is important. If you're gonna listen, you gotta listen to both podcasts. Oh yeah. Listen to that one first, because we started talking about dehydration, but then you got I think you started talking about zebras or something I did yeah, you went off in a different You start talking about

You haven't met you I got introduced you to you You're gonna be in or you're gonna be intrigued But no, I think uh Was I saying hydration is important though, but why is it lights? Why are you important? Why is it a big thing that like you remember saying years ago? Nobody's like ten years ago. It was like people like yes stay hydrated, but nobody was like Elect there wasn't this big crazy thing about there was once they figured out Gatorade So do you do you know what the original Gatorade ingredients were?

It was like citrus juice, like lemon juice, salt, sugar, and water, I believe. Pull that up. So this was a criticism that someone was bringing up on one of them Instagram reels. And they were talking about the original Gatorade versus the Gatorade that they have now with all these crazy dyes and the color blue and all this fucking all the weird shit like Gatorade didn't used to

be like that. Gatorade was just like a hydration drink that was pretty fucking good. Pretty fucking good. Yeah. Like hydration drinks are legit. Electrolytes, that's a legit thing. You know, you really do need you need sodium, you need magnesium, you need you need electrodes. Trace minerals. Yeah, all that stuff's fucking really good for you. And when you sweat a lot

It helps to replenish it in your body. Do you think, um Do you believe in that hydrogen water stuff where it's like you charge water? Yeah, it's legit It is? Yeah. You gotta drink it like right after you make it. The original Gatorade invented in 1965 by UF's Is that University of Florida? Yeah. Robert Cade consisted of glucose, sodium, potassium, and water. That's it.

So sodium, potassium, water, and some sugar. The same formula we use for oral rehydration and cholera. It worked, but it tasted like tiger piss. Then Pepsi bought Gatorade and Michael Jordan sweetened it with high fructose corn syrup and voila Jordan brought us into the high fructose corn syrup maze. It was it. Yeah, I remember he was the best ever I'm better with sneakers in that guy Nobody Jordans it became a thing, but I'll saying it became a thing like it's it's a part of a brand That's a huge brand and it's bigger than the brand. Yeah Jordans are bigger than Nike's

Look if you have Nike's on that's one thing if you have Jordans on like oh, it's got Jordans. That's wild, huh? Theo Vons weren't Jordans. Look at that. Yeah I've never been a big shoe guy. Really. I got these jelly roll shoes on he gave me Oh, those are tight. These are like hey dudes are called. Oh, yeah, I got a pair of those but they're men They're really men slippers and it's it's something about it. Yeah. You're wearing slippers. It's like, what are you gonna do if you have to fight? Not put these on and go out on the porch.

The porch. I can see Theo scrapping on the porch. By the way, I've seen more fist fights online over the last three years than I have in my entire life. Yeah. My entire life of actually seeing street fights, my entire life of being out in comedy clubs and nightclubs and bars actually seeing street fights, my entire life of being out in comedy clubs and nightclubs and bars and seeing street fights,

I've seen more in the last three years than all that combined. Do you feel like we get a unrealistic view of reality because of all the stuff that we see online? You do. But if you don't go and see an actual bar fight, you don't know reality. Like I remember I was 21 years old, I was in Boston. But if you don't go and see an actual bar fight, you don't know reality.

Like I remember I was 21 years old, I was in Boston. I went to this bar and I saw this dude break a Heineken bottle on this dude's face. I don't remember what they were arguing about. The dude did it so quickly out of nowhere. His first move was break a Heineken bottle on this guy's face and just cut this guy's face wide open. It was blood was pouring down his face. I was like, that is crazy. And I was as close to that guy is as I am to Jamie. It was, it was right there at the bar. I watched it all go down. I was

like, that's put in my head, like don't ever talk shit to somebody at a bar. Like deescalate always. Too many weapons around. Well, just there's people out there will just break a fucking bottle over your face, especially if you threaten them I don't know what that guy said. I don't know what happened. I just saw the act of the guy breaking I saw I heard loud arguing and then smash and did the guy make a sound when he hit him or anything like that Remember just I remember blood the blood was instant. it just gushed down his face Yeah, I mean he this guy got ruined for life He has a giant scar in his face for the rest of his life for sure there's no way he doesn't it was just his whole face blood

Did you fuck with people man? Oh? Yeah? I'm not fucking with anybody I know you don't but I don't for everybody else listen don't fuck with people Yeah, especially if you're at a bar too, shit is wet. I don't like to be in places where people are real drunk because shit can get too weird. It makes me nervous, I think. 100%. People do stupid fucking things when they're drunk that can ruin the whole rest of their life just being hammered.

Imagine how many people have just sobered up and been like, you're lying. I did that happen, and they don't even have any memory of it. I was watching this video that I just saw on Instagram the other day of this guy who was a former Muay Thai fighter in Mexico, and he got in a fight with these dudes and just started KOing dudes left and right. He KO's like four or five dudes, and one of them died. Because this is one of the things that I tell people all the time

Absolutely happens in street fights you knock a person out they fall down They bounce their head off the concrete and they fucking die and it happens All the time it happens all the time and it happens So in 25% of the people this guy knocked out one of them died Hmm, so 25% of them died one out of four he KOs all four of them one dude never wakes up And now he's charged with murder Have you seen the video? It's pretty impressive. No, and the guys just defending himself. Yeah, these guys are coming after him and He just starts flatlining them. Damn blap. He's got a good right hand. Did you um

Did you see any UFC fire any fight when you were in Scotland? What do you do for fun when you were there? There was no UFC fights Have you seen that video Jamie? I could send it to you if you want Who's a Scottish fighter Paul Craig is he Scott? Yeah, he's Scottish. He's a bad motherfucker. Yeah He's got one of the greatest triangles in the history of the sport that guy's triangles off the charts I know I sent it to Tommy me and Tom Segura sent each other everything fucked up including that saw him this morning explosion Which I'm I also saw that that Lady get body slammed. Did you see that one Jamie?

You didn't see that lady your body slam I don't know what specific time you're talking about I've seen what was it some lady punches this guy in the face and the guy Body slams her is it that pin it wasn't that Pentecostal deal was it no this one is uh? I think it's in Toledo, Ohio, and they're out in the middle of the street and This lady is yelling at this dude's girlfriend, so the I just sent it to Jamie Oh Jesus, that's another one Whoo oh he picked that woman up and slammed her like that wow that seems first of all weight class. That's a catch weight Oh, that's so awful. That's so awful. Oh my god. Damn it Jesus Christ That's not the one I'm talking about the one I'm talking about is I just sent it to you Jamie

You gotta be careful man You just want the lady punches the guy in the face though the guy's trying to deescalate He tries to walk away And the lady said get the fuck out of my face and then she punches him in the face, and the dude picks her up and just slams her. And she, her boyfriend was in the car the whole time, she's calling out to the boyfriend in the car, and the dude does not get out of the car. He's like, nope. She's like, you go ahead and fuck, give me some volume. Angle full screen. Watch this.

Get out the fucking door! You want to rob my fucking ass? Get out the fucking door there bitch! Get out! Get out! I didn't touch your fucking car you fucking bitch! You were on my car! Come and touch me because my hands right fucking here.

Fuck that. Oh. That's why you gotta go to a meeting dude, I go to a meeting before I do this shit. Okay, just for the record. That's a Mazda I think, huh? No, it looks like a Cadillac. Like a shitty old Cadillac. For the record that lady could die. Yeah. Like you could die from that. Like if her head banged off the concrete I'm not sure if it did but if it did with the weight

of all of his body and her body like that shit is very dangerous. Look how much we heard it from here. Yeah. He was charged with assault and battery by means of dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury vandalizing property unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle The man involved was arrested, but he wasn't driving. Yeah, that blew me up man It might not be true the woman suffered injuries but was released from the hospital That could be it might not be true the woman suffered injuries, but was released from the hospital whoa The thing is it's like she assaulted him first right? Oh, yeah It doesn't it seemed like they would get that figured out doing that oh he did bang her head for sure oh

Yeah, you will you think yet look at that. That's super dangerous super fucking dangerous Like that's even more dangerous than knocking somebody out. I mean, that's horrible That's a kind of stuff 100% kill somebody doing that 100% Well people want to do dangerous stuff Did you see there's a woman that just died petting an elephant trying to pet an elephant I think in Thailand But we want me if you don't mind a guy get trampled by an elephant recently you did. Oh It was awful this elephant This guy ordering it around and just folded this dude up and just squashed him. And you see him trying to get away

and it just squashes his head. Like, yo. Spanish woman killed by elephant in Thailand while bathing animal. Oh, by the way, I did that. You did it? I didn't get in the bathe them, but my family did. We, in Thailand, rode the elephants

and I was like, I don't think this is cool. They thought, oh, this is so beautiful. This is what happens. You go to this elephant reserve, like it's like they rescue these elephants. By the way, the elephants are completely free range. So they're wandering through the jungle. So while you're there, you hear trees branching, branches snapping, and you see elephants just making their way through the jungle to this group and then they feed them sugar cane. So you feed these elephants sugar cane.

So you give them a bunch of sugar cane and then you clean them. So you wash the elephant and you say nice things to it and you develop this little relationship with the elephant and then you ride the elephant through the jungle, the elephant takes you and then at the end of it you bathe the Elephant right you get the elephant water wash them you be basically being nice to them. They're being nice to you They're letting you ride them you give them free food and you give them a little massage

But I made a video about it. I think when does it I definitely did I was like, I don't recommend it Yeah, I was like it's cool cuz like I was hanging out with this elephant in the video like they're really sweet creatures They're so gentle, but they're so big and they just they're deciding not to kill you Right and and you're riding them which is like why do you have to ride them? Like why do we have that fat you that? fatuation with People that want to take pictures of like, you know, let me pet this on newborn cheetah, right? Let me bottle feed this fucking senior citizen tiger, you know, let me pet this newborn cheetah, right? Let me bottle feed this fucking senior citizen tiger.

You know what I'm saying? There's always like, let me breast, let me bathe this elephant, you know? Let me- Well, the tigers are all drugged up too. That was another thing we did in Thailand. You gotta be careful, dude. The tigers are drugged up, man.

Uh-uh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, super drugged up. So this is what it is. It's like you go to these tiger sanctuaries. I think you couldn't use drugs there. What? You can. You certainly can on tigers in Thailand. Oh Thailand. So you go to this place and they have little kittens. So the kittens, the tiger cubs, they're different. They're super active like they're biting things and playing with each other. And you can touch them? Yeah

You can touch them. Okay. Then when they get slightly older you can be in the cage with them But there has to be a dude with a stick. The dude with a stick is standing between you and this small tiger. Fuck no, whose team is he on? Oh, it's so crazy. It's so crazy. It's so crazy.

And he's on your team? Yes. And this is a small tiger. This tiger is like 40 pounds. And then when they get bigger, then they have to drug them. So then when you get into the adult tiger, they're like this.

Like so obvious. And people are taking pictures, like sitting next to the tiger tigers literally like this There's no idea what's going on They keep all heroin down to their mind the tigers don't move and you realize they're drugged up and you get real sad Yeah, and you're gonna end that shit. I'll say that dude. We're gonna have real active tiger So I can attack and want a photo with the tiger you got to risk your life, but that's the thing It's like why do we have that infatuation though of like I want to have a photo with a tiger, you gotta risk your life. But that's the thing, it's like, why do we have that infatuation though of like, I wanna take this with this cobra around my neck,

I wanna take this, you know. That's a good question. You can't like get these things where you wanna pet a tiger, you wanna brush a lion's teeth, you wanna tickle a cyst out an acrine or something without getting, you know, some like, you're gonna get attacked, you know what I'm saying? Like you gotta be careful.

Yeah. But what is that inside of us that makes us want to do that because it's scary It's scary to pet a crocodile so when a guy can like put his hand on the crocodiles face You're like whoa yeah Do you ever see that one with the dude is like the crocodile grabs hold of his arm and goes into a gator roll in front Of the crowd oh, it's horrible rips his arm off find the whole crowd I Haven't seen that um what else was I gonna ask you about? The drones are Theo I thought there's just a bunch of fucking I think it's a skip

That's the kind of thing I'm saying, man. Did you know Scotland actually has some of the most UFO sightings in the whole world? Well, they had one of the best UFO sightings. They took photographs of it. It was in that movie, the program. Bridge Bonnie or whatever, what's it called? Bridgebury?

Oh, yeah, something like that James Fox's documentary the program He was just here promoting it and they showed the photo and it's a photo from the 1990s that they got of this thing There's apparently there was three photos Bonnie bridge. That's it. Most you feel exciting on the planet. Whoa 300 per year, but also let me tell you something those folks like to drink. I mean, bro, they drank Oh, yeah, have a weed drab have a weed drab If someone says have a weed drab, that means it's time to get fucked up This dude who to pop poured me a shot of Irish whiskey.

I mean they have them. I bet they don't say that they're secretive. Nah. You don't think? I think they're pretty open minded. In fact, I think they have a pretty woke government. I think they have a very woke government. They wear a lot of kilts, that's for sure, dude.

There you go. It's close to gay. They think they have a very woke government. They wear a lot of kilts. That's for sure. There you go It's close to gay. I'm a dress. It's not but it's like what if a kill says free awning on it What is a rainbow kill? Do they serve do they sell rainbow kilts? They probably do it's always raining What if it just says free awning on it? You're like, oh, that's that seems like a trap Dry your head off down here But if it says kids awning you you gotta be, that's a fucking. Yeah, free toys under the screen. Cool dude.

Hey, the top's empty. Jesus Christ. I'm just saying dude, the Scottish, we need more of them dude, and I believe that in the future we'll get more of them man. You think they're gonna breed a lot, or do you think we're gonna like import people? They've had some explosions of population I know over the past like 50

I had a question, do you think, Joe, about, do you think that Elon and Vivek Ramaswamy will really be able to have an effect on things? I'm interested to see.

Elon is a very pushy man. Once he gets an idea in his head, you know, it's very difficult to get him off of it. I'm interested to see if they can do anything. I'm interested to see what the reaction is to it too. Like what kind of resistance is there to them trying to change things? By the actual government elected officials. Yeah, that's going to be interesting too. Sometimes you find out more by resistance than you do from like we did with like the we were talking about in the other Podcasts the true dough thing with the truckers in Canada

When he went after the people that donated money to the truckers and he closed their bank accounts, that's crazy fascism I didn't know he did that. Yeah, that's crazy He did that. Yeah, that's crazy Tyrannical overreach that's that's like really dangerous authoritarian government tactics You close the bank accounts of people who donated to a peaceful protest So sometimes like in resistance you get to see what someone's really about. Yeah, you know, and so I'm interested to see We're already trying to kill him. You know, I know two times. I think even after that They're like we got to let him keep going. That's the other weird one about the killing them thing, the trying to kill them,

is there's all these connections. This is the big tin foil hat conspiracy thing. They're all connecting them to Fort Bragg. So there's three connections to Fort Bragg. There's this guy who blew himself up, allegedly, in the Tesla. There's the dude who tried to kill Trump on the golf course. He had visited Fort Bragg a hundred times. There's one other one, what's the other one? That's the New Orleans guy? The New Orleans guy, yeah, that's right.

That's heartbreaking. The New Orleans guy who ran over those people in the street, that guy's from Fort Bragg as well. And so- And praying for those groups, it's fucking heartbreaking. What people are really terrified of is the idea of mind control Mm-hmm in that they train people that are very vulnerable people that are all fucked up. They train these people to

become hitmen and terrorists and There was an undercover camera thing. I'll send this to you, Jamie, because you see it and you're like, what the fuck, these are real people? Where this guy is explaining how they do this. And he's explaining how they take people and push them over the edge. Oh yeah? People that are maybe like a little bit lost

and they give them a nudge to get them to do things. Well it all makes sense. I mean just like religion can find you or just like. Sure the government can find you when you're vulnerable. Yeah, something can find you when you're vulnerable. That's the kid that shot Trump. That's what a lot of people think that is too. The tin foil hat conspiracy is that they found this very vulnerable kid.

He did a Black Rock commercial and then you know a year and a half later whatever it was he's shooting a Trump off of a roof yeah so listen to this so CIA agent explains how the government baits and tricks mentally unwell social media users into committing crimes they wouldn't normally commit and so it says you set them up you create the situation to where they have no choice but to act on their impulse. That means they act on that impulse. Then we call that entrapment. We call it a nudge.

A nudge. A nudge. Mmm. Sometimes you just gotta give them a quick look just to see what happens, right? How does that happen? You put a post out there or you have someone fake profile say something that triggers, that we know has been gonna trigger them, right? Like we already know your history.

If we're to that point, we already know everything about you. So we're like, oh, this will piss them off. Sometimes you like to fuse and just wait for it to follow. Yeah. Nothing like putting on a fake social media thing to like really get people mad. Mm-hmm. Post fake news, you know sometimes it's,

I mean, it's not fake. That's crazy. So this is the guy's name is Gavin O'Blennis and says CIA contracting officer, former FBI San Diego. Like, is that to protect or serve? Like, what is that for? You imagine that government money is being spent to manipulate vulnerable people into doing things they wouldn't ordinarily do. That's crazy.

I could totally imagine that. I mean, that's what's scary about- Why isn't it always these chatty gay guys that get busted? Well, this guy obviously, it seems like was trying to flirt with whoever he's talking to, to me. Yeah. And I'm not saying the guy- That's always what it is. ... enjoys buddies or whatever. I'm just saying it seemed like that to me.

Yeah, chatty gay guys. That's how they keep busting them Yeah, they get hot guys on grinder to go meet up with chatty gay guys Yeah, I wonder how they set that up I wonder if you have to have a bunch of verified fucks in order for people to take it like where's your blue checkmark? You got to be really gay buddy. You got to get a pink checkmark someone's fucked you alright. This guy's legit Oh, and you think there's a lot of people being fake gays or whatever to help the government mm-hmm oh yeah all that James O'Keefe stuff back when he was at project Veritas they'd always bust these gay guys James O'Keefe the author no no no the

investigative journalist oh I didn't see that very controversial investigative journalist that does these undercover ops when he finds he gets one of his guys to wear camera I'm being a Robert O'Keefe I think I don't know who you think of but James O'Keefe was with project Veritas now he's got his own thing what is it called the James O'Keefe's OMG something OMG right O'Keefe Media Group. Yeah. And so. Looking into this guy. He might, that might.

Might be a bullshit artist. He might have been lying just so he could get laid, you know. That's what I felt like a hundred percent. This guy seems like. This is just what someone claimed to look into him and said he didn't work there. He's VA employed, advanced medical support assistant. Okay, it says this guy is my age. He was checking in patients at the VA when I started as an FBI agent and that was 10

years older than many in 2022. He was a secretary at the FBI. Be skeptical people, geez. So he might be just, well, it seemed like he was, but also he probably does know how they do it. Maybe he's not even saying that he does it because he has a low position, but if he's explaining how the FBI does it and he does work for the FBI. It makes sense. Do you think we can trust our FBI anymore?

I think you can trust some of them. But the FBI is like people and people in positions of power. They get corrupted. Some do get corrupted. Some are great patriots. It's just like everything else, man. And the CIA, the same thing? I think with every fucking group of people that are in power that don't have a lot of oversight, or where the organization itself has been corrupted. You know, there's a lot of people that think the FBI back in the day, not the same people a lot today, of course,

but they had something to do with Martin Luther King's assassination. Oh yeah. You know, there's a lot of people that think they had something to do with Malcolm X's assassination. Kennedy. Yeah, there's a lot of people that think they had something to do with Malcolm X's assassination and Kennedy Yeah, there's a lot of fucking theories and I don't know the truth I don't know the truth

But when you look in the January 6 thing and you said that the F didn't they admit they had 26 agents there Is that what they admitted to Jamie? Because it's the most recent discussion about what actually took place in January 6th. Like how many of those people? This article is talking about it. This is 20? 20. I just wonder what starts to happen if you don't, if as a society you don't believe

in trust in, I believe that the trust overall in government and government authority in America really as a whole is kind of starting to dissipate. Along with the trust in the media. Right. At the same time. So then what has, so where did, has that ever happened in history? And then I'm sure it has. And where do we go from here? Well, I guess that's a big question.

When you say, has it ever happened in history? Sure, things have fallen apart before, but has it ever come back together again? Maybe not, but maybe it didn't have the internet back then. Right. So what people are looking at, like with Trudeau resigning and Trump winning and then, you know, all this talk of Robert Kennedy getting in the Make America Healthy Again movement, like that we might be able to see legitimate change this go-around. Like with Vivek and Elon being in charge of government efficiency, we might be able to see, I'm hopeful. I'm really hopeful for the first time in a long time, but I'm curious to see what can actually get done.

Who do they have to answer to Vivek and Elon? Who do they have to first present stuff to? Somebody said it was Marjorie Taylor Greene. Is that true or is somebody made that up? It is. They're in. I met her at a party actually. Yeah? Did yeah, I didn't know that it was her I don't know like a ton about politics, but it was definitely interesting though I'm sure Tucker had that party for out. He has like a new guys nicotine pouches. They're good I haven't done them. They're legit, but uh yeah, it's in cool. No Gibson was there that was pretty cool So I went without nicotine pouches for five days see what that was like what happened

When I tried the eights when I came back I got these Lucy's these breakers the eights. I couldn't take it. It was too much because five days off I was like whoa, this is too much and what happened get to sit down somewhere Did you just I gotta take it out of my mouth then I switched to these threes. I'm on this athletic nicotine these threes so I'm on this athletic nicotine these threes So I've been taking these while I do podcasts, but completely killed my desire to just pop them in throughout the day Yeah, cuz I was used to the eights So I was popping them eights all day long, but then I realized when I wasn't taking them for the five days

I'm like, oh, I'm a lot more calm. Yeah, I'm a lot less ramped up. I'm like I don't need to be ramped up I'm on vacation. I don't have to do any podcasts. Yeah, you know, don't need to be alive as much. I don't well. I just mean I mean Enjoy just be chill. Why be alert why be so alert yeah? Thing is you get used to being so alert, and then you want them all the time one before I lift fucking give me any before I want something all the fucking time dude. Yeah, I want a fun sniff. I wish I had that tracheol I just fucking one sniff booth shit right into my neck all day. Yeah, I'll take whatever you got boy I heard a buddy the other day saying he's sober Look like a Jets fan

Fireworks right now my eyes are closed. It's just fireworks. Oh, yeah Give me some off Katy Perry dust, buddy. Oh Joy you want to see me ride it don't you Katy Perry takes her panties off? Mmm, and that's it. Oh no And I shouldn't say the first part either because he's a very Katy Perry does this yes be respectful I am and I let's imagine not a real Katy Perry, but a robot Katy Perry cuz that's coming Yeah, we make Katherine Perry who grew up different gal. She's from Toledo. She's a girl. They got body slam Take a snap oh

You went deep son You go deep you got that into your hairs. Yeah, give me that back before you hurt yourself Oh, yeah, you were reluctant to give it back you're thinking about going. Yeah, I'll fucking go again boy Huh really yeah, dude Okay, I'll do one more little one. I'm gonna do a big one dog we ready We're gonna shake it oh my god what have you done play the pipes Joey Rogan Darja aliens Joe

oh Jesus son, huh? Huh? Fuck that shit will turn you into a raccoon, baby boy dude. You know the worst thing was besides that uh Your eyes when you close your eyes you see fireworks Yeah, like when I closed my eyes. It was like my whole It was all lit up It reminds me of that thing you ever seen that game show. It's um

Sauce challenge or whatever what hot sauce challenge. Oh, yeah, hot wings hot wings, right? Hot ones hot ones well you ever done that yeah, I did it a few years ago And it was a great that guy Sean Evans is a great guy. That's all I hear about him Oh, everybody says he's a nice guy. That's all I hear about him. Everybody says he's a nice guy. He's so smart and he's just a nice dude. But people are always like, how are the sauces? Well, seven of them are sauces. A couple of them are fucking shit.

You used to clean this out of a boat, you know? It's like, sauces went into that weird realm where it was like, we just want to burn a hole in you kind of thing, you know? Yeah. And so some of them got to be very, I don't want to get sued for saying that. Can I say that? I'm just joking, right? Yeah, you're just joking.

But they're like, some of them were like, oh, this isn't, I wouldn't put this on anything. Right, it's too strong. It's not a sauce. It's just like a chemical it felt like. Yeah, it's dangerous. Yeah. What about that one chip challenge?

You ever try that? I did that, it's fun. It's preposterous. It's nice. It's like a Mexican chemical it felt like. Yeah, it's dangerous. Yeah. What about that one chip challenge? Ever try that? I did that, it's fun. It's preposterous. It's nice, yeah, it's like a Mexican Christmas type of thing, I think it comes out every year. But the chips are stale and bullshit though. That's what was terrible. The chips are bullshit.

It's just a gateway drug for spice or whatever. I feel like it was just a way to reuse shitty old chips that had gone bad. That's what it felt like to me. Like whoever did it is a goddamn genius. Because I was offended by the fact that the Chip was so dry. Yeah, I was like look you could do this with a Dorito and it wouldn't be as offensive You know one thing about Doritos every time you open those bitches. It's the same

I know they're using seed oils and a bunch of chemicals, but guess what? I don't eat Doritos all the time, but I had a bag of Doritos five days ago and guess what I Enjoyed it was cool ranch. Oh, they're so good. They were good I remember when they came out with those people couldn't even fucking didn't know what to do They couldn't stop remember our stepdad came back for like a week when they came out and he's like yeah Gonna be fine cool ranch and fuck they were good a little bit of queso. Oh, dude cool ranch was good I remember um Trying to think of the early cheese balls they were good a little bit of queso. Oh, dude cool ranch was good. I remember um Trying to think of the early on cheese balls. Those were good

They're good. You can't outlaw that stuff just because some people have no self-control Do you think are some people gonna start to be like oh shit this guy's gonna take away Chick-fil-a like you were saying? I'm like yeah, can't we can't let that happen. Well. That's we can't now go against Bobby. Yeah, we have to. We have to fight him. It's the same thing. Remember Jay Leno was a Doritos guy? Jay Leno was selling Doritos. I think that's when Bill Hicks started attacking him. They didn't get along? No.

I didn't know that. Do you ever meet Bill Hicks? I never met him. I saw him live twice, two or three times. I think three times. But I said hi to him like it's looked like you know like that okay so was he like famous when you saw him he was famous for comedians he was famous he had been on Rodney Dangerfield's young comedian special and that was a big deal back then this is before he even had his big HBO special he was just this weird guy who was connected to Kinnison.

And then the first time I saw him live, I was like, holy shit. He was doing things that are so different than any of the comedy that was popular back then. It was all like he had something to say about things. It was like cultural. It was like cultural commentary with jokes. But the cultural commentary was as much of a part as what he was saying was the fact that it was funny. That was totally unique. And then it became a thing where everybody was copying him. Oh, really? Yeah. So he was like one of those guys that people just started being like, without even, you think without even realizing it?

Yeah, without realizing it and realizing it and just openly plagiarizing him. He was very plagiarized by a bunch of people But he was just doing something different because his interests were different. He was following his interests Yeah, you know, that's what he was interested in talking about So and he was touring so much that he was working so much that he had so much material because he was just constantly playing in all these places and Unlike a lot of like really respected comedians He didn't do his tours in the big cities. He's like touring around the deep south

You know he called it his flying saucer tour because everywhere he would tour was where flying saucers would be spotted Like these weird fucked up cities and so he developed this like really intelligent act that would work on dumb crowds Huh very unique guy Like lowbrow high art kind of stuff. Well some of it was lowbrow. Some of it was highbrow. Some of it was just funny Great social commentary on the war, you know, he was just great. It was just a different thing I mean he wasn't as like laugh out loud funny as like Richard Jenny But I remember me and Richard Jenny watched him once and he he said, god, every time I see that guy, I'm like, I gotta do more of that.

Oh yeah. Richard Jeni said that. I saw him say it. And so I'm like, wow. Richard Jeni, to me at that time, was one of the greatest comics alive. He was so good in the 1980s. Like people don't realize.

I've told this story before, just for you. There's one time he was at the Eastside Comedy Club. And Eastside Comedy Club was a big comedy club in Long Island, great club, awesome club. Richie Mannerveni used to own it. And we were there on Sunday, and the dude who was the MC over the weekend was depressed. He was like, Richard Jennings did four different hours.

And he goes, he didn't repeat a joke once, and every hour he killed. He goes, he did't repeat a joke once and every hour he killed. He goes, he did four completely different hours and no one could do that back then. So for Richard Jenney to tell me that he was watching Bill Hicks, like I gotta do more of that. Wow.

Like that's how influential he was. Did you see George Carlin perform then too? Yeah, I saw George perform a bunch of times. I saw George perform in a time where he wasn't doing so good. He was struggling with that drug you think? I don't know man. I saw him bomb in New Hampshire I took my roommates to a casino saw him play in a casino in New Hampshire. He fucking ate shit It was weird. It was weird. It's like it wasn't worked out. Yeah, it's like he was he would go on stage with notebooks

And he was just kind of like working out ideas He had a very different way of doing comedy. Like his way of doing comedy was he would write everything out and then he would bring notebooks on stage and perform it as he wrote it. Like he didn't do it like almost like doing a one-man show. And then every year he would film it for HBO. Damn.

Yeah. It was a totally different style of doing comedy. And so he went through periods of time where he was doing real Well, and he was real funny And then he went through some dark times where he was bombing a lot and that's unfortunately the first time I saw him hmm Have you ever seen um Roll Tide Willie that guy uh

Who's that? I'll put you on him He said I guess he's kind of a comedian now. He was a, he played football for Alabama and then he got injured. He was in the military. See if you can pull up something of him. He's, what does he do? Just say his crazy things? He loves Alabama. He's like a um...

Not like a mascot? Yeah, yeah, he's like a mascot. He likes alcohol. He looks like like a mascot. Yeah. Yeah, he's like a mascot. He likes alcohol He looks like he likes alcohol. Yeah Watching and waiting on the bomb again Look right here on this side Chilling don't give a piss Don't give a piss about nothing but the tide

What you doing the tide Alabama tide he likes. Wow. That's one of his favorites. Yeah, he's on. You gotta give people the freedom to not give a fuck about anything but the tide. Right? That's one of the... Right? If you're gonna have transgenders going into the men's room or the women's room, you're gonna have to have that guy too. You gotta give... You gotta be tolerant of that guy. Oh, 100%, man. How come you're not? Yeah, why are you so judgmental? Like that guy have some tolerance. Yeah, he served for our country too. Did he? Yeah, he got injured in the or I think he got injured

He was in the military with my friend's dad But he um, I think he played at University of Alabama, but now he's like the biggest fan but um He's kind of a, yeah, mascot for Alabama. He's like the, they call, he goes by Roll Tide Willie. Mm, okay. So just so you know- Why did you wanna bring him up? I don't know.

Just came to mind. Yeah, I just think we're just talking about, what were we talking about? Oh, comedians, entertainers. I think entertainment's getting interesting because a lot of people are getting entertainers too just off of social media reels, right? Right.

So it's like you're finding somebody you might want to watch like Jessica McGowan or something. Who's that? Shit, the lady from Buffy the Vampire Slayer I'm talking about or you know, Gwyneth Paltrow. Or watch like a, or watch Roll Tide, you know what I'm saying? It's just so, it's,

entertainment's just super interesting now. Well, it's definitely open to more things, right? Like Tim Dillon turned me on to that family in New Jersey that goes to Costco and yells out about cookies. Oh, the booms. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's unfortunate, right? Billions of people watch that like that's way more than watch CNN We bring the ball. Yeah that kid and the one kid I heard it even make good grades unfortunately, which is like

School why should he yeah? Tick-tock money they better not better not ban TikTok. Imagine that family becomes homeless because some heartless politicians decide to stop that Chinese spyware. How about let those morons stay on that shit? Let them steal their passwords. Let them go boom. I'm on there.

You should be. But they're taking all... They're taking... Yeah, I guess I'm wondering sometimes what are the Chinese actually taking that they already have for me? Except, I mean, they could geolocate me. With your DNA. They're gonna but yeah, I guess I'm wondering sometimes what are the Chinese actually taking that they won't already have for me except I mean they could geo locate me your DNA. I'm gonna clone you You're gonna be like Alex Jones gonna have a different version of you half my family's in recovery. You can have it, but

You can fucking have it You think any of those drones are Chinese How could we have in our airspace a drone from another country and we don't know it? That's why all is it that we don't know it or we can't do anything about it? Oh, we could do something about it. Well, you have to decide to do something about it. And the Biden administration doesn't seem like they're the type that would just be shooting shit out of the sky.

That's a good point. Whereas Trump, that motherfucker will shoot shooting shit out of the sky. That's your point. Whereas Trump, that motherfucker will shoot some shit out of the sky. You know, they didn't tell him about some of the balloons that China had circling the country because they were worried he was going to have them shot out of the sky. No way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They openly admitted that they didn't tell Trump about some of the balloons. Remember when they shot that balloon out of the sky?

When they shot that balloon out of the sky, we were talking about this the other day, they missed. One of those missiles missed and went where who fucking knows it's like New Year's Eve in San Antonio dude yeah imagine you're hiking you're out there in the wilderness like this is amazing I've got my jet boil I'm gonna cook I'm gonna cook up some ramen tonight yeah boom right in the face right in the face. Right in the face. A missile that was meant for a Chinese balloon.

And they're never gonna admit to that. They'll say it was, yeah. Never, you vanished. Yeah. There's nothing to even test. You'll be on one of those 411 documentaries or something. You get hit in the face with a missile. There's nothing left.

That's on you too, dude. There's nothing left. Yeah. They don't even know you were there. You just, you got ate by wolves. Who knows what happened Yeah, baby girl is gone. You're gone. Yeah, there's nothing your pink mist They're gonna scrape you off the leaves do a DNA test Yeah, dude

You can it was a missile out of a fucking fighter jet be enough to be barely enough for a wolf to lick a little Bit of you off a rock. Okay, let's imagine that Beirut bomb Okay, Beirut bomb. Okay. That Beirut bomb. What do you do? You see it falling. What do you do? You don't do anything.

You got to do something. You don't do a thing. You just go, oh no. And then you vaporize. You prepare yourself for the next dimension. How long do you get? I say, if it's- You don't get any time at all.

Come on. It just happens so fast. If you're in the epicenter of one of those bombs and it just goes off, you don have any time. What is boom vaporize the whole city's vaporized. What if you're? 2,000 yards off You might live who knows you might be behind a fucking building and the building might stay up And you just get your eardrums blown out and you get the kind of concussion that you usually get from a horrible car accident Hmm, Who knows dude I would imagine there's like a level where you could be far enough away where it's not death like instant death

But where's that level? Where is it? It's not close close. You're dead for sure So like how far out you have to be where you now you're deaf for the rest of your life Now you can't see you know who knows Now you have no memory of your childhood. It's like a concussion of epic proportions, even if you survive, depending on how far out you are. And then, you know, you get far out enough that it doesn't affect you at all. You can see it from a distance.

That's gotta be crazy too, to know that you could've just been over there and you would've been vaporized. Do you hear about the dude that survived Hiroshima and then he went to Nagasaki to work and then he defied he survived Nagasaki not I survived both of them. He just survived both of them still alive. So I think he died recently But this dude he went from yeah, I think he died a while ago now that I'm thinking about it This dude went he was in Hiroshima bomb blew up

Killed you know, how many people hundred fifty thousand people instantaneously Yeah, he escapes gets out goes to Nagasaki to work Nagasaki gets hit Miles from the blasts owns of both cheese and did he say how he survived each time? What was the guy's name? Give him some credit give Theo a shot What's his name? Some what some Tomo? Tsutomu Yamaguchi Yeah

Tsumo Yamaguchi it's a more Yamaguchi was like quite a few fires named Yamaguchi to two files less than Two miles from the blast zones of Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings and miraculously survived both without debilitating injuries my double radiation exposure is now an official government record Yamaguchi said I can tell you the younger generation the horrifying history of the atomic bombings even before I die do you think we should have done that Joe that bomb wow he lived he died of stomach cancer at 93 oh my god that's incredible he lived that long yeah stomach cancer one of us because of the bomb I mean died 93 but some Asians live very long whoo 120 years out of you I

think we should have dropped the bomb on people no yeah me neither no it's fucking insane it's so insane. It's so insane. But it just goes to show you that somewhere inside of us there's an evil that will be evil, you know? Bro, look at this. No, go up, go up, go up. He opposed the country's role in World War II and became so despondent about the war

that he considered killing his wife and infant son with sleeping pills if Japan lost. Holy fuck, dude. Company man. Jesus Christ, that's so scary. Heartbreaking. He said this guy was lit with a blaze, the lightning of a huge magnesium flare. They saw the plane coming. Oh my god. He saw the Enola Gay fly over Hiroshima and drop an item carried by two parachutes. Suddenly he said this guy lit with a blaze.

Oh my god Do you have a bomb shelter Joe do you have a bomb do you bomb? I should probably get one, but I really think that if a nuclear war breaks out You really want to be like right where the nuke hits you want to end you don't want to be you don't want to live in a zombie apocalypse like post war I think I fainted for a while when I above oh the the ground roared in an ear shattering noise ripped through the air tossing Yamaguchi into the air as a fireball imploded overhead he was

dropped face first into a muddy furrow the protective measures he took likely saved his life a woman who had been walking beside him shortly before the blast disappeared altogether I think I fainted for a while. When I opened my eyes, everything was dark. I couldn't see much. It was like the start of a film at the cinema before the picture has begun.

When the blank frames are just flashing up without any sound. Unreal. Fuck, dude. Look at it look like. Fuck. Can you even fathom, one second it looks one way and the next second it looks another way.

And no one's ever done this before that We know of on earth And then they just decided to drop it on a city Jesus and they did it again boom boom Seen in the Oppenheimer when they're deciding where to do it if that's how it went down is crazy nuts I gotta watch that that movie's crazy. Is it it's crazy? Yeah, because you you get to see first of all that dude Cillian Murphy that guy's incredible. He's incredible. Yeah, that's the dude from the Peaky Blinders. Oh, yeah He's so good. He's such a good actor and

So he like nailed this Tortured genius Oppenheimer and this creation that he made this tortured genius Oppenheimer and this creation that he made. It'd be so scary, something you thought was probably for a purpose in the beginning and then you changed your mind during it. Well also you have to do it, because if you don't do it, if the Germans get it,

they're gonna kill everybody. Still wounded and heavily bandaged, Yamaguchi returned to work on August 9, the day Nagasaki was bombed. He was providing his supervisor a detailed account of the Hiroshima bombing when the landscape outside the office suddenly lit up with in a blinding light and Yamaguchi fell to the floor as shock

waves destroyed the windows suddenly the same white light filled the room he later recalled I thought the mushroom cloud had followed me from Hiroshima. Wow, that's crazy. Actually, you just gotta shh. I'm talking about it and it happens again. That's crazy. A reinforced stairwell in the office protected the conference room where Yamaguchi and his colleagues were. Jesus Christ. They just heard his story and he says, it says someone took cover in a manner similar to how

he described in Hiroshima. His wife was soaked in black rain and was poisoned as their daughter later recalled in the subsequent weeks Yamaguchi suffered high fever severe hair loss continuous vomiting and other symptoms from radiation poisoning motherfucker dude how much would have to happen in America for things to get to a place where people are just like every man for himself like do you feel like that like that kind of thing power going out? Yeah, what keeps us together is electricity right now the way society is structured We are so dependent upon electricity that without electricity. We don't have anything. We don't have any cooling. We have no ice We have no way of

Processing water. Yeah, we're fucked without electricity. We have no transportation. We're really fucked without electricity Electricity without oil that any fuel at all. We're doomed We're fucking doomed and all we have is burning things and do you think for the first day people would be kind of organized like Let's see what happens here watching the news and then the second day shit would get AWOL Like how quick would people as soon as people ran out of, and that doesn't take long, that's a few days. It's a few days. And then everyone's like, oh, I'm gonna get a rifle, learn how to hunt, good luck.

Not at the last minute, what are you gonna put an ad at the last minute? Sorry it's so late, guys, need to learn how to hunt or whatever. Now, by the way, if everybody goes hunting, here's the dirty secret about hunting. The reason why hunting works is because everybody doesn't hunt.

If everybody hunted, there'd be no more animals. They almost did that in the 1800s, man. They started doing what they call market hunting. And market hunting almost wiped out everything in this country. Almost wiped out all the elk, wiped out most of the buffalo, almost wiped out white-tailed deer. Really? Yeah, man, because people were hunting them.

They could hunt as much as they wanted? As much as they wanted. There was no regulation, and they were selling the meat, and there was no refrigeration. So you have to kill them all the time. So they would hire professional hunters, and that's how they would get their meat. And they were just devastating populations of animals. I mean, you've seen the piles of buffalo bones, right? Terrifying.

They killed millions of buffalo in a few years. They brought the herds down to nothing in a few years. Got that close to total extinction. And was that because people were expanding west and they needed food? They needed food, they needed the skins, they wanted the tongues. Pickled tongues was a big delicacy on the East Coast, so it would shoot them for their tongue only, which is crazy So you take in one of the biggest animals that lives in North America and you're slaughtering it just for the smallest

Organ the smallest thing their tongue Yeah, so people did that already and if there's no power there's not enough food there's just not yeah We don't have enough wild game for 330 million people for a year. Forget about forever. We don't, huh? We don't. We definitely don't. We definitely 100% don't.

And the only reason why you can have these giant populations of people like Los Angeles, the only way you can have that is farmers. Right. You have to have farmers. You have to have people that are fucking fully dedicate 24 hours a day to growing animals and food all the time to supply those people Amen, so if you looked at the amount of farmers versus the amount of people that they feed it's crazy That's a great point how exponential it probably is huh?

So if all that's gone then all those people have no food and then where are they getting it? Are they gonna be willing to like how are they gonna learn how to herd cattle and the farmers are gonna be sitting there Licking their chops. Well, they're gonna be killed most like oh people are gonna try to get them for their food Yeah, but the farmers will be ready for a while You know, how long can you hold off millions of people with guns? United States has more guns than most of the world. We have 40% of the firearms on earth Fuck yeah, we can Make it do it for a while. I guess

See if that statistic is true. I believe it is I think the American people have an exponential Number in comparison to every other country We're we're so we have so much more weapons in any other country And I think we have more guns than the entire Chinese army by a large amount really yeah by a large amount just the American population has more guns it's so embedded in our culture because I'll meet people sometimes in like you guys have all these guns like what do you there's no way to not have guns here well there's more guns than there are people here but how would you even do it if some people were

like you should get rid of gun right Can you hear people say that sometimes? It's like... Well, you're not going to get rid of guns altogether. You're not going to eliminate the technology, right? So the technology, if it exists, someone's going to have the guns. Who's going to have those guns? Well, you're going to have the government's going to have the guns. So you're basically giving the guns to people that are known liars who've been manipulating

and controlling people from the beginning of time. You can't have that. And the reason why the United States has such a unique freedom is because the First Amendment is protected by the Second Amendment. Didn't Chris Rock have a bit about that? I believe he did. I'm not sure if he did.

I believe Chris Rock had a bit about that. He probably did. I think he did. One last question before we go, Joe. What's up, Jamie? 35 to 50% of the guns guns somewhere in the range of 270 million out of the 645 million total guns in America close to 42 percent. It's big estimates 42% of the guns in the world right here, baby

And his dogs over there snoring, you know why cuz he could see if he could sleep well. Yeah, there's a hard Protecting that little dog dogs used to be used to protect us Carl bites me full blast every day really he loves that he loves to meet a man with his face. He doesn't hurt you He doesn't know he's adorable. Yeah, but you know I'm saying like we need to protect Carl. He can't protect us That's how soft people have gotten We got a listen to more of snoring Him yeah, he sounds like Lee Syad a little Only gets too many edibles. They're back the church of what's happening now is back. Just saw the first episode that amazing So cool. I was telling Joey for a while

I orchestrated getting the two of them together at the mothership like I've got to get you. I was putting it in his ear. I'm like Joey you guys got to bring the band back We're gonna we're gonna we're gonna Joey and and Lee in New York in California when they had that show Oh, it was in this weird little office building so bizarre you'd park out there You'd be lucky to find a spot. It had a really 80s vibe out there You'd park out there. You'd be lucky to find a spot. It had a really 80s vibe out there They had like one kind of neon kind of light that was kind of like They'd have their door for their office like open a little bit and it didn't seem like it was an office It seemed like it was a place where they shot like kind of quick porn

Oh, did you ever see the one episode where they had an office building at one point in time with a bunch of other people? That office buildings and Joe who's too loud and they were yelling him to be quiet is like Shut the fuck up We used to share all the nail salon for a while really yeah And you did always be chattering in there and yelling about stuff. It was that's okay. Some of that was fun Dude, I remember we used to share a wall with fighter and the kid for a while And that was so much fun we bang on the wall at each other. Well, you guys had like, there was a bunch of podcasts that were being done in like a couple areas like that in California where they had little podcast studio places

where several sets would be. It was so much fun. But those guys, they'd always ran into some money problem. There was always like some producer that was taking too much money and they wanted to control the show. And I ran into so many dudes that had podcast deals that went south.

And it was again, the same kind of thing, power and corruption. There was so many guys who had podcast deals and then the people that they did this, that had this network wound up owning their podcast and selling their podcast. And they were like, what the fuck? They just got robbed.

They got robbed. I mean, we got stolen from. You got literally robbed. Yeah, but we didn't, we still had ownership, you know, yeah, but they stole your ad revenue, right? Yeah for a year Yeah, I mean there was a lot of dirty business in the podcast world was dark. What's the Wild West, right? It was a completely new thing and all sudden when the money spigot opened it just opened like whoa Like I made no money for like five years I just did it for funsies.

And then all of a sudden, the spigot just opened. Yeah, your spigot, yeah, really. You have the most open spigot. Right now, I have the most open spigot. And congratulations. Yeah, thank you. You work harder than any podcaster by far, man. And you're so great at it, man.

Well, you gotta keep your foot on the gas, son. That's the thing about podcasts or anything else. When you've got, I feel like you're essentially, you're running a business, right? Well, that's the thing about podcasts or anything else, when you've got, if you're essentially, you're running a business, right? Well, what is the business? The business is interesting content. All right, how much are you actually interested in interesting content?

Because if you're not, it's not gonna work. So you gotta be fully interested, which I am. That's where I'm lucky. I'm lucky that I'm interested in all these things. I pay attention to this shit, even if I wasn't talking about it, I'd be watching podcasts on this kind of shit because I'm lucky that I'm interested in all these things. I pay attention to this shit, even if I wasn't talking about it, I'd be watching podcasts on this kind of shit, because I'm interested.

I'm interested in ancient civilizations, I'm interested in cultures. Oh yeah, well we learn a lot of stuff by listening to you learn it, man, so it's cool. I have one question, I know you, one time we were talking about if you ever retired, right? Yeah. And you said maybe you would start painting,

maybe if you ever retired. Did I say that? I was probably high. You could have been, okay you said maybe you would start painting maybe if you ever retired Yeah, yeah, it could have been okay Even if you were I was probably taking some of that Delta 8 was it all the stuff they have out here Delta 8 it's legal. It's a legal loophole legal weed Yeah, I'm all fucked up on Delta 8 son you had a Delta 8 yet a bit yet Oh, there's a bunch of Delta 8 out here, but are you still using it's legit? Oh, yeah sure it is It is it's at a gas station Like boner pills

Dr. Red Band one of those major nosebleed really bad bad stuff those um those uh Aggressive rhinos whatever those yeah, they make your fucking nosebleed. Oh red bands a connoisseur He'll tell you what the good ones are oh, I've been I went I went down the road. I used to get them from India. I used to get all that shit. India? Yeah. But what would you paint, dude? That's what I was thinking. I was just thinking what you'd paint. I was lying. I was lying. You were? Yeah, I had to be. I'm not interested in painting. Come on, man. No, man. If I was gonna retire, you know what I'd do? I wanna damn with the graph, dude. You know, if I was gonna retire, I would just bow hunt and play pool. That's what I would do. If I said I don't want to do anything for money from now on, I would bow hunt and play pool. That's what I would do If I said I don't want to do anything for money from now on I would bow hunt and play pool

I try to play pool for money, but I'll never win any money I can never beat the best guys if you think you could have devoted so much as much time to you because that's one thing You start to learn about life It's like I only have so much time right if you could have devoted as much time you think do you think you could have been Really good at it. You really loved it pool was a if pool was a legitimate sport when I was in my 20s, 100% I would have become a professional pool player. 100%. I wanted to play pool all the time.

Because it was a population of misfits. That's what it was. It wasn't just the game itself. It was the misfits. I always felt like a misfit. When I was a kid, I felt like a misfit. You know, moved around a lot. My misfit. When I was a kid, I felt like a misfit. Moved around a lot. My parents broke up when I was young. I never felt like I fit in anywhere until

I started hanging around the pool hall. I was like, oh, these guys are just like me. They're all people that they're just too ADD to ever keep a real job. They're just nutty people and they all had different things that they did for money, but what they were really obsessed with was that game game was playing pool and going to pool halls. Cause you'd go to pool halls and it was a bunch of guys like you, just a bunch of weirdos who are just wanting to laugh and have fun and play this game. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. That, maybe that would be nice. And painting painting is, you know,

I'd look, I love art if I was called to paint. Like if it felt like something, maybe I would get into doing it. But that's not what I'm interested in right now. You know? Yeah. Maybe I would be. But I don't think so.

You know, I think if I retire, I'm just gonna pursue interests. I'm just gonna like learn languages and'm just gonna learn languages and shit, just do something different. I don't think when I stop doing this, I'm ever gonna do anything else publicly. I probably won't, I won't want to anymore. I get to a point where I think a lot of people get to

where they're just like, eh, I'm on off this ride. Do you ever wear a disguise when you go places? Every day, I'm wearing a disguise right now. Like tall Biden, remember when they had the fake Real that tall guy tall guy get fuck a tall guy pretended to be about 100% wasn't Biden The CIA has had like super sophisticated Outfits look have you seen Adam Ray when he when he dresses up like Dr. Phil yes how did you forget pretty fucking good he did we did I saw that he did Biden

And I think they definitely did that. Fuck. I think there was a point in time where he was like, America, we're protecting you, Theo Vaughn. We can't have trying to think that our president is down,

and that Kamala Harris is running the military. Come on, son. We know what we're doing. Pull up the photo. What about the video of the tall Biden? Because there ain't no way it's the same dude. Because he wasn't even a little taller. Bring that honky up.

Jill's wearing heels, son. Look at her heels. See her heels elevated in the

back? She's wearing heels. He's towering over her. That's a giant Biden. That's Sasquatch. Wow. That's really, really interesting. Do people have done like a comparison to his height compared to like what he normally is? Tall Biden was a real thing. Oh, do you think what happens to him after he goes away in office? What happens to him?

Jimmy Carter, he votes like this. You think? He can't wait to vote for Pete Buttigieg. If they roll him out there. Who controls Joe Biden if he's not controlling himself? You think he can't wait to vote for Pete Buttigieg They roll them out there who controls Joe Biden if he's not controlling himself whoever is letting him fucking Pardon eight million people some of the guys said they don't want the pardon you see that bro He's pardoned more people than anybody ever by a long shot.

Oh, that's it was adorable. That's what he's gonna do He's gonna do that for people same thing Daddy loves you What you doing with all that cut Take me to the river looking around just Twitter and he tweeted that yesterday No, he didn't look at that. Please repost comment and tag anyone if you can show support right now more than ever Why am I in the back? Is that really true? That's a real photo. You don't forget it happening

You don't remember that podcast those right after after you did Bernie Sanders that guy came in What is it like for you, can I ask you this you're like interviewing legitimate people now like you interviewed Trump you interviewed Bernie Sanders you interviewed Who else JD Walsh who else you interviewed you've interviewed a lot ofD. Walsh, who else you interviewed? You've interviewed a lot of very interesting people. Are you enjoying that? Yeah, I think I am, man. I think I've been trying to learn more.

So that's been one of my goals. You're doing a great job. Thanks, John. I mean, you get silly, you're still yourself. You're still silly, but you're having real conversations with these people. Thanks. You know?

Bobby Kennedy. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I knew Bobby, which was lucky, and we were going through Vermont and Bernie said he would come on the podcast, so that was super fortunate. And then Dana helped. You know, I wanted to talk to Trump because his brother had died of alcoholism and it was like a world that I had spent a lot of my life in and dealing with. And so I wanted to just, just see what he, like if he was normal about something like that, I guess.

So yeah, but I think it's been interesting. I think it felt like a lot of responsive. I got, I started to have some ego issues, I think. I was just trying to be like, you know, just know what you're doing, man. Like, you don't have some big responsibility. I think I had this ego trap where it made me felt, I just had to kind of manage some stuff for a little bit but I've been feeling

better now I think. Like what was the trap? I think you just start to think oh well I'm important right and it's okay if I am like it's okay if I have importance to myself and there's things that I want to like examine and learn for myself and that sort of thing. But your role as an important person. Right. You started thinking about that because you're getting a lot of views. Right, I think it started to just scare me. So I just, I got nervous.

And then I had people that would ask me about stuff that I felt like I didn't know about or people would think that I knew more than I did or like I had something to do with like the election. Like things like that made me super kind of nervous. Got it, got it. And so I think I just was kind of trying to manage that for a bit. And but I've been feeling like. Got it. And so I think I just was kind of trying to manage that for a bit.

But I've been feeling like better about it. And I know some places are things to be funny. Some places are things that mean something to me. Just like learning about healthcare and people getting screwed. There are some smaller causes. I can't learn about everything, but there's some things that I do care about

that I can like seek more information about. Right. And then to just try to get more interested in things, like just be, you know, learn about, when I open myself up to learn about more things, you know? That's the key, is like knowing when to just listen, when to try to be funny, just fuck around, learn how to be yourself, you know?

The more you do them, the more relaxed you get when you do them, you know? Yeah, that happens too. I mean, this is probably the most relaxed I've felt like being around you today, you know? Around me? Yeah, I think I just like, yeah, sometimes you get nervous. Do you get nervous just because so many people are listening?

Is that what it is? The numbers? Yeah, I think at first. And then I think, yeah, I mean, I look up to you, I think it's so like, you know, and you're, you know, you're you know you're the champ You're the best and so it's like I Don't know if it's a nerd. I don't know what it is, but there's sometimes I feel some thing you know well Thank you, but you don't need to you don't need to feel that like you and I've been friends for a long fucking time

You could be yourself. Yeah, you remind me of that and I appreciate it. You know cuz it does it does help I think it's just like an old thing of like It's like an old energy thing that doesn't make any sense anymore. You know? But sometimes like that template is still there a little bit. Right. Right. Well, that's a Hollywood template, right? Like the people that are more established and bigger.

It's like, oh, there's Johnny Carson. Yeah. You know, there's that, you know, it gets. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you always, anytime I think that way, you always bring it back down to a super normal place to thank you. But it should be super normal. That's really the appeal of all this that we do is that it is super normal is that a guy like you can

have no pretense and just ask Bernie Sanders questions like why the fuck are they getting away with this like why why is it structured this way while these corporations stealing all this money and fucking everybody out all these you know why was why is this happening yeah and those are it's if you can have those real conversations This is the only place where they exist then you're never gonna get these kind of conversations on a late night talk show You know you're not gonna get them.
