Reggie Watts is the guest today.

Good old Reg. Reg was the star of Comedy Bang Bang. Back in the day, that show is truly a gem. It's so funny, so ridiculous. And now he's on Corbin's show, which is called the late night show, or the late, I don't know, I don't watch any of those late night shows,

but yeah, whichever one James Corbin's on, the karaoke guy, I kind of feel like once those guys get to the late night shows, it's not watchable. I don't know who is really enjoying it. And I apologize if you're somebody out there that really loves those shows. To me it just feels like middle aged religious housewives feeling like they're being risqué with the type of lay-mass jokes and like goofy shit that they do on there. I don't know. You know. Strong opinions this morning,

I apologize. But anyway, this is podcast 1322. Reggie is one of my favorite weirdo type eccentric genius type entertainers because one he doesn't give a shit he has like that Eric Andre has style that's just like it's whatever it is deal with it which I love that I'm sure if I could grow my hair like that which I can't because I'm sure if I could grow my hair like that, which I can't, because I am about as white as a ghost, but if I could, I would totally do that hair. I love I love it when I see people do that. Also, Reggie has a song that you can look at. You watch the video on YouTube, but he like wrote, produced these things and he's just walking down Venice, boulevard, just singing and like pointing at people and just it's brilliant it's so good he did a Ted

talk as well that's very bizarre very strange he almost uses no words he just says really strange things and he's just kind of like making the point that like music and language and rhythm it's just it all ties together, you know, and it's it's kind of like why we like music and and singing together like that, there's just this rhythmic flow of of a message and he makes a great point kind of explaining that. I believe that's what it is. Don't quote me exactly I maybe his message was just that he's very clever and he can make a crazy ass Ted talk, but it's nuts. It's so nuts. Even if you don't like Ted talks

I would say watch it Reggie watch Ted talk is it's so different and so bizarre. I'd love some feedback on it It's been a long time since I've watched that. Their conversation together was great. They started out just getting baked. Why not? Reggie had some weed. He had a little contraption, I guess, that the roles, the joint, just kind of,

I don't know if it grinds it up, but it basically does everything and just taps it into place. then you you just take the joints out and off you go Sounded pretty sweet. I'd like to find out more about that device Joe pulled it up on the podcast and I I think I wrote the name down. I can't remember but I'd like to check it out I try not to buy things when they're brand new like that, you know In a way and I hate to say but I like to let things kind of go to Amazon for a bit and then get some reviews. You know, you just get a real feel for like, if this thing's a piece of shit or not, I

don't know. One thing that Reggie brought up that I had never really thought about, but obviously you noticed the difference between like 70s music, 80s, 90s, whatever. And, you know, kind of different errors get connected with different types of drugs. You know, I guess you could say the 90s was like ecstasy, the 80s was cocaine, the 60s had to be like acid, you know, so like music changes and they say it in a way has influence but how much so and read you was saying that they like in the 80s they like tune the music cocaine and then he brought up an interesting point for the grateful dead, more like 60s and 70s and they're well known

for their love for acid and all the rest of it. He was saying that I guess that sound engineer or maybe Jamie was saying this, that sound engineer is also their acid guy. He like is the only guy who was legally allowed to make acid for some time. Excuse me. I have a bit of a cold I think so please forgive me if everything sounds stuffy. I did my best before I came on. I even bought one of those things called a lavage.

Have you ever heard of these? It's kind of like a nettie part, but it looks more like a syringe with a rubber stopper, and you fire saline water up your nose. Feels like you're waterboarding yourself when you do that. I don't know if it's advisable. I'll let you guys know if it actually makes my cold any better. At this point no. I just feel like I'm full of water and I want to drain out of my nose in any minute. So yeah, oh and Reggie's not in any kind of rap, which I thought was strange. I always assumed that, you know, being a band leader and a musician or the rest of it,

you'd study all types of music, because you'd always looking for a little bit of like creative energy and something new and exciting to kind of focus you on and but it no I guess he doesn't like it. He left it in the mid 90s and it's not into the to the money and the bitches and the buying the cars type energy. He said he likes the beats but that was it for him. To me fascinating, we'll see if he gets back into it. But yeah, electronic is his thing. He's an electronic dude. That's kind of something. Obviously, as the weed kicks in, they get a little bit more trippy. Joe talks about, he brought up a point about who the first monkey was to pick up a tool or a stone, you know, and use it to kill an animal.

Because he was like, wow, before that, we had to kill things with our bare hands. And like Joe's a hunter, and he's making a modern reference, you know, a modern comparison. And it's an interesting way of thinking. Joe does have a pretty interesting and fairly unique way of formulating his ideas, because that just doesn't generally pop into people's brains. I've never heard that dialogue. If someone's saying, oh, hunters, I've been hunting with people before and it's never come up they're like, oh imagine trying to take down this creature with your bare hands. I mean it will be impossible, I'm telling you, you wouldn't even be able to take out a cat very

easily. If you ever picked up a really pissed off cat, a fucking nightmare. It would scratch you, the piece is so bad it would barely be worth a meal. You'd be like, you know what, I'm going to be vegetarian. It's not, it wouldn't be easy. Bear hand stuff, I mean, you know, and then the first monkey that wrapped himself in like a leather hide or something to protect himself to from scratches and attacks. I mean, what a jump forward. He might as well have been Iron Man of the past at that point. If you realize you can use a stick, a rock, and wrap yourself in a leather hide, it do is basically invincible. To some degree, it would have been brilliant. It would have absolutely been brilliant. Then they jump to some great

stuff about it, and this gets trippy, just about the universe being infinitely fractal. So you go through a black hole, and it takes you to another universe, and you can go to the center of that one, and that goes to a black hole, and you just go on and on and on and on.

Obviously, we don't know that, there's no science to back it up, but Joe's point was, so this whole thing is kind of magic and crazy. Why would that be any more crazy? Like why would that theory be anything else? I guess my only point to that one is if that's true, then it doesn't it only seem like black holes suck things in, there's not a lot coming out. I guess there's some sort of quasar energy coming out.

But I don't know if that's like reflective of what's going in. But if these things are like the sink holes of the universe, then doesn't there need to be a place where stuff comes out? And it's not like there are places in our universe where you get the opposite of a black hole, maybe a white hole, it just dumps energy and matter into our universe. If that was true, then it would make more sense that the black holes are doing the same thing, right? It's just part of a massive drainage system. I don't know. But then what the fuck do I know? I can't even talk on this. I thought it was interesting. Reggie said something cool that knowing the universe is like shining a flashlight in the ocean

at night. That's a really good way of doing it. Have you ever done that? Have you ever shine the light in a body of water and you try and look around. All the light gets reflected and depending on the condition of the bottom of that water source, you can't see shit. Maybe a fish flies by real quick, you have no idea where it came from, where it's going, where it is now. You just saw it for a second. I mean, that's kind of how little we know about what goes on over. And we honestly, I think we give ourselves way too much credit. When NASA and Space, you know, Hubble and the, or, or the Space Telescopes and our space station and we talk about what we know up there, we don't know shit.

I wish we just said that. We don't have a fucking clue. And what really brings that out is when they talk about looking for the asteroids that are going to hit us. And they're like, we basically only look at about 1% of the sky. 1% imagine this, right? Imagine if at any moment you have an opponent in front of you that's going to punch you, or kick you or head by you.

And then you have to wear these special kinds of glasses that allow you to only see 1% of this person in any given time. Dude, that person is going to fucking light you up. You have zero chance of defending yourself. Well, you could just put your guard up, you know, like what's your chin, tense your stomach. it will probably be more beneficial just to curl up into a ball, but the point is you have no idea where the attack's coming from. So what does that say about our planet? We just surround it in shields. I mean, it sounds like the only thing we could do at this point.

Uh, impossible to know, impossible to know, but again, this is their high talk. They got highest fuck, this is the direction they went and you got to love it You got to love how getting really big just takes you straight out into the universe Once they calm down a little bit they get back into how movie trailers kind of ruin movies for people I disagree a little bit, right? I think and I don't watch a ton of movies. I sometimes think that watching the trailer is enough. I'm not gonna lie and and this is almost sacrilegious, right? But I'm gonna say it. I do like the John Wick movie. I watch the first one

I watch half of the second one. I have like really bad ADHD So to sit and watch a movie for like two and a half hours. It's not very easy for me John Wick 3 came out and I was very excited to hear about it and see what was going on and get all the info and see what people thought. People loved it, went straight to being the number one movie in America. I watched the trailers, like the three different trailers they made, and in a fucked up way, I kind of felt like, you know what? I kind of got it, I got the, I got the gist of it. That was fun

Maybe one day I'll watch it. I don't know but to devote that time to it I just feel like I always got other stuff going on. No disrespect. I know. I love you. You're a legend But yeah, so I'm in a different place. I think about about movie trailers, but yeah, their conversation is is movie trailers but yeah their conversation is real chill I think it shows a lot about Reggie he's a sweetheart he's a real good listener also in a weird way he is a good comedian I don't think he does stand up per se but he does like mixtures of it and he's obviously very very funny guy super talented I hope he gets back on soon I really liked the way the conversation was going.
