Hey, macrodosing listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. What's up? Welcome back to Extra Dose. We got Donnie back from guitar, and we have Travi on the sticks, on the camera. Travis, say hello to everybody. Hey, how's it going? Travis, is this your first time on a podcast?

No, I've been on a couple roughnesses and brand and stuff back when it was walked the line. Sweet. Happy to help. we're about to get this is your probably first non-sports podcast correct specifically we might talk sports but uh yeah so first thing i wanted to talk about uh remember those circle oh we also have a dog in the studio yeah that's not going to be a problem right no not not going to be a problem usually comes down about two seconds we've done podcasts from them before hopefully he behaves like he did in those podcasts all right so we're not dealing with uh stella who's

No, no. He's a lady. Yep, there we go. Right on cue. Perfect. All right. He just laid down. So getting into it.

So remember we talked about those sheep walking a circle? Yes. So people have been putting together all these videos of people walking circles, the sheep walking circles, and all sorts of sketchy stuff. And basically they're saying that 5G and VATs and VATs. vaccines are like killing all these animals and making them go in these circular patterns. So let me let me pull it up in a second. Wait, so do sheep take vaccines?

No, I don't even know how this whole thing came about, but. But yeah, so people are now playing, like if you walk in a circle, it's because of the vaccine. Yeah, but like a lot of it's easily explainable. let me pull it up right now in the meantime uh walking in circles there's like videos of lions all sorts yeah so we have the original the original video travi if we want to pan to this real quick that's the original one of the sheep walking the circle but now what's been happening well the thing is most things walk in circles that what was interesting about the sheep is they had been doing it for 10 days

straight so there's a whole i've been running into these videos videos let me see if i can actually find them but there was a bunch of these videos of lions and then people who are obviously having seizures where they turn their heads and start like going in a circle and then collapsing but i didn't see any of those happening before we started sharing the videos of yeah i mean well people have been having seizures for a long time i know but the i got to find some of these antivacs circles they've just been popping up on tic talk oh yeah and whatnot have you have you found them well but it's just it's really crazy how people are hijacking

i found like a tic-tok viral solution to prevent covid vaccine arm soreness actually makes sense what um um yeah but while i find the exact ones how's guitar Qatar was awesome. I was definitely, with all the negative media attention, with all the people saying that me and PFT were going to get Brittany Grinnered, I was a little nervous about going. But once we arrived, you know, didn't have any negative experiences.

And it was a lot more relaxed than we thought it was. Like PFT didn't know if we were going to be able to wear shorts. But yeah, like no one really cared about that stuff at all. I didn't even bring a vape in my luggage because I was like, technically vapes are illegal there and yeah it said like you could be put in jail for nine months to three years for bringing vapes into the country um so i did not bring a vape i just had pft bring me some zins um but that wasn't a problem um yeah lucies uh but then when i arrived i saw people vaping all over the place um and even i heard there was one guy who ran on the field there and he was

He had a rainbow flag. He had like an Iranian protester shirt. He had all this stuff on. And I think he was released from custody with zero consequences. He was run with the flag. Yeah. He was trying to make a statement. But I don't think Qatar like has any fans locked up over there because they just don't want that press.

They want everybody talking about how awesome the World Cup has been. how great the Amir is and so yeah I don't think anyone's gotten in too serious trouble it was funny we were in like a group chat over there of just random people

I knew who would be at the World Cup and one dude like sent out a text while there and he's like some Arab dude just offered me crystal meth at the bar I did it and then he's like now my heart is beating out of my chest he's like I'm going to go get some

chamomil tea and that will fix everything Camile tea Herbal tea is going to help you. If you ever take crystal meth, all you need is a little KML tea and you'll be fine. And so, yeah, I guess there were even more drugs than you'd think. Yeah, I was pretty much just drinking over there. But me and PFT did do a little something else that I think is going to be in our next video. I can't wait to see that.

We won't spoil it. I don't even know what you guys did, but sounds. Yeah, it's not. I mean, don't expect the. reaction pft had to molly um but i mean i can just say it we we did some acid over there um uh and that's the only thing i felt safe enough bringing because it's it was pretty much just on this like tiny piece of cardboard so there's like no way you get in trouble for bringing a piece of cardboard across country lines does it look like glue no um no literally this so some times uh

you'll get some acid and it's on like psychedelic paper and it just like looks really trippy. This was just on like a plain piece of cardboard. So I decided to bring it. Sampled that and then actually in the video we put out when we were in the Emir suite, I was actually on a little bit of acid there. Did not know I'd be going to the Amir's suite. I thought we'd be going to one of the hospitality suites where you could like just drink and it would be a blast. And then we get there and end up having like a private meal with someone who works for the Amir.

Wait, how did you end up meeting the Amir? No, we didn't meet the actual Amir. I just knew someone who was there working for a company in the U.S. that he asked me not to mention. But he was invited out by the Amir because his company has worked with him. And then he was a friend of a friend. And he was like, hey, we got hospitality tickets to the Switzerland versus Cameroon game. if you and PFT want to come. So we went and then, yeah, we didn't realize we would actually be in the Emir's suite.

Whoa. And, yeah, if I'd known that, I probably wouldn't have taken acid before that. But, yeah, but we got there. It was great. They had a full buffet. So that's where we, like, had our Thanksgiving meal. Oh, that's pretty dope. And according to one of the guys there who works for the Amir, he was like,

oh, are you guys with Barstool Sports? And we were like, yeah. And PFT asked if they were popular here. And he was like, yeah, a lot of a lot of Qataris love martial sports. Yeah. That's crazy. That's absolutely wild. How do you, so is one thing crazy about that Cameroon Swiss game? Didn't a Cameroonian, a ex-cameroonian Swiss person score the game winning goal? Yes, he did. Against his home country? Yeah, his home country. I don't know how long he had been living in Switzerland. What's wild, it's like, I don't know how many foreign-born people Switzerland has, but Qatar's team, I think there are zero local Qataris on that team.

I think it's just like, because Qatar also competes in the Olympics, I believe. And like all of all their athletes, they just like find really, really good athletes and then offer them Katari citizenship so they can like play for their World Cup team. wait so where were a lot of them from you know uh probably probably africa like where let's see where is uh katar's national team yeah i don't they going back to what we were talking about earlier i finally found the video uh travi you want to switch there's this video in the the title is this majestic lion died soon after receiving a vaccine to improve his health so you just see this lion walking in circles and then all of a sudden the lion collapses and died so i've been

seeing a lot of these weird videos or basically this this lion had a seizure probably like and we talked about it with the sheep like half your brain gets either infected with some sort of prion parasite or a seizure and then you like start going to circle before and like that there's a lot of videos of people getting seizures like that and anti-vax media has just been running with it uh and saying that that's why like it's examples of the vaccine killing people so like vaccine injury and it's it's so weird but like this line's a wild lion it definitely didn't get a vaccine yeah i think they give like some cows vaccines and maybe sheep because they don't want them like spreading a crazy disease but yeah I don't think any wild line has taken a

vaccine but it's just crazy that that viral video that we found ended up like being the poster board for like 5G vaccines manipulating the populace but back to back to Qatar back to Qatar so I mean normally Qatar is very strict rules on like who can be considered Katari because all the local Qataris there have crazy benefits. You're like guaranteed a job. You get free college, free health care. Like a lot of them are just given a job that I don't even know if they have to work it, but that's just a cover for them getting a certain set amount of money each month. And only like in Qatar, only one out of ten people is Katari. So yeah, we probably only met two two Qatari people there the whole time yeah we were looking at that last time like the Qatari they all

have a share of the large Qatari oil investment fund yeah and most of them work either for the government or for that entity yeah sovereign wealth fund oh and like the I just realized the Qatar government invested in churning group they like a lot of money in churning group uh before churning group invested in Barstool. Wait, so... So maybe the Churning Group bought Barstool with Qatar money.

So the... Oh my God. Yeah. That's crazy. Which is wild. And they, uh, Qatar also owns 10% of the Empire State Building. Oh, wow.

Yeah. Because I think they're just, they're like, we have so much money now because of all of the oils. So we should just invest in as many things as possible. Uh, because eventually sometime we're going to run out of oil. Yeah. Um,

like Dubai built all those crazy buildings with with oil money but I think they no longer have any oil but they've since like turned Dubai into like a tourist destination and a place people want to be and they did that so then even when they run out of oil they can still be like a hot spot in the Middle East and then make the line the line make the yeah that's Saudi Arabia yeah I'm excited stuff like those oil rich countries are taking trying to do stuff like that to diversify their wealth yeah and like i'm still confused because the line can apparently like nine million people can live there but it's like who who's going to live there like who are they going to convince to move there yeah um yeah they recently i saw dj calid was recently

in saudi arabia and he had clearly been paid by some tourist group out there because he kept on tagging them in all of his posts he was like oh this part of saudi arabia is so beautiful And then I saw Rick Ross out there too I think Saudi does that a lot Just like flies out famous rappers To kind of like promote Saudi Arabia Yeah I mean they got a lot of them into the country with all Like most of them probably have weed in their private jets and stuff

Yeah Yeah because me and PFT saw French Montana there I don't think he travels too many places Yeah Without drugs Uh we were thinking like I bet you some of those really rich people in Dubai Saudi Arabia

They fly these rappers out for private shows I think it'd be hilarious if some rich guitary dude was like a diehard part of my take fan and he like flew out part of my take for a private podcast where you guys just have to record a podcast in front of him. It just said they'd probably just send me like the Dennis Rodman of the 96 Bulls to Kim Jong-un. Yes. We don't really want to go. We're not going to go.

We're going to send you Billy football. You can have fun with him. You go on Tom. Yeah. Yeah. How long did it take for French Montana to come out? I saw in the... Yeah, we just had no idea.

Like, all it said was, all right, there's a French Montana show on the 24th, but online, there was nothing about when he would actually perform. And so, yeah, we arrived there probably at like seven. He came on at like 12.50 p.m. And like, we told we're like, he'd either coming on at 9 p.m. or on midnight. And then he came on like almost at 1. But he did show. you have to give him some credit true were you here when he was on part of my take and apparently

it was just was just eating Popeye's chicken throughout the yeah so that was when I was in college that was okay old office but I do remember watching it but there's there's some interviews that just people don't take it seriously um no well he also didn't take the pizza review too seriously either like why even do it it's what i mean i guess his PR people's like this would be great yeah oh so here it says um i think it says the the Qatar national team has only four Qataris if i'm not mistaken i think they read off a stat in the first game that they have all played together since like youth so like this whole team's been together but like i don't know where they're all from but they've been a part of the same team for like 10 plus years

or at least a significant amount of time to prepare for this World Cup. Oh, wow. That makes sense. I mean. Yeah, so maybe the eight, because they've known that they were going to be hosting the World Cup for a while. Yeah, like eight years, I would guess. So how old is if they're like, so they're making 13-year-olds play with each other until they're like old enough? Yeah.

That's probably like I ran is the same way. Like Iran, I think has like nine players on their team. They're all from the same club. So they just like play all together at the same time. I mean, they didn't do two. none of those teams did too well did they Qatar did not do well they were the first host country to like

not win their first game yeah wow okay I don't know I'm looking at the names of the roster and like yeah there's like a Sanchez and a Pedro but there are a lot of Arab names so maybe they have just been training for a while or I think maybe

20 years ago when they got the bid maybe they just had a lot of foreigners live in Qatar and if you live there for a certain number of years you can be I don't know how Qatar does it but like I know FIFA's rules are like skewed of like switching nationalities so like it's like

however where your family heritage is you can play for that country. Yeah I have a friend who was the captain of China's Olympic hockey team the first year that China has ever had in Olympic hockey team and he has one

I think he has a Chinese mom but he was born and raised in Canada and then played at BU shut up Brandon Yip but they were just like hey we're hosting the Winter Olympics so we automatically get to have a hockey team

do you want to be our captain wow yeah I don't I don't know how China did in the Olympics I feel like I didn't watch the Winter Olympics at all this past year it was a weird Olympics with zero fans allowed

allowed there except for there's all COVID things totally jacked. Yeah, no, that's why the World Cup was cool, though. It was the first, like, world tournament that didn't have crazy COVID restrictions. Like, it didn't have a single COVID restriction. Do you think they ever got hit by COVID hard

because how dry and hot it is in Qatar? Do you think any of those Gulf countries got hit hard by COVID? I don't know. Gulf countries COVID. I mean, here it says that Qatar puts its faith and homegrown talent for the World Cup. So, yeah, and it's, it relies on those

who have passed through its futuristic, Aspire Training Center, which was opened in 2004. Yeah, so maybe they've just been like putting people through the ringer since 2004 and trying to get like a homegrown team. Yeah, so the Middle East didn't get hit. The Middle East in North Africa and COVID-19, they did not get hit with major cases

because of the climate. Oh, all right. Yeah. There's just a bunch of articles that COVID hasn't crushed the Middle East yet. That's like 2020. COVID hasn't impacted the Middle East dot, dot, dot, yet. They're all just like waiting for it to hit.

Yeah. No, it never hit. I do know like a lot of people got COVID at the World Cup, but they were fine after a few days. It definitely spread by probably the rate, like oh yeah you have i mean if it's not covid things are going to spread when you have people all over the world in the same place um and but speaking of covid so you know how there were a lot of protests in china yeah yeah part of those were sparked there was like a fire in a building

and like a lot of the doors were locked because like they weren't allowed to leave and 11 people died um because of the covid lockdowns and that like sparked protests people were like we're done with this like let's just reopen the end a lot of them got mad because they were watching the world cup and then on tv they could see like all these fans not wearing masks having a blast in the stands oh man and they didn't like chinese media is so controlled a lot of them didn't know that the world had gone back to normal um and so then when they like saw that on tv and china actually tried replacing some of the crowd shots with shots of uh close-up shots of the coaches or whatever Because people were mad. They're like, what the fuck? You've been telling us that the whole world is still locked down. But really, it's just us. So protests broke out all over China. And I think they kind of worked because the government recently announced they're going to back off their zero COVID stance and start to reopen. Do you think that they're going to end up? How do you think the CCP is doing throughout all this? Are they losing power? Are they climbing back down? I think that.

think they've been, at first, it was great because they recovered from the first wave of COVID faster than the rest of the world. So like life had gone back to normal there while the U.S. was completely locked down. But then after they've like decided to just completely lock down again over the summer, they've lost billions of dollars. There's been protests. Shijingping's popularity has plummeted. They're not doing well. Like all the foreigners I know there have left. But I think Xi Jinping saw all the protests, and he was like, all right, like, I'm going to, like, lose power over my zero COVID policy. It's not worth it. I'm going to back off.

So it's not every day you see a protest work. That's good news. You know, speaking of the Gulf States, which didn't the one of the Gulf States governments negotiate the release of Brittany Griner? um let me let me look that up it looked like it the handoff happened did the handoff happen in an arab country yeah i'm pretty sure the brittany grinder exchange where was it um the prisoner swap who was swapped well you know who's um but yeah i'm pretty sure it was in a in a golf country who helped negotiate the release of Brittany Griner. It might have even been guitar.

Saudi Crown Prince, MBS helped negotiate Brittany Griner's release. So, yeah, it was the Saudis. All right. Yeah, our guy, MBS. We did a macrodosing episode on him. So, I mean, good for him. You know, that's... Is that the Crown Prince?

Yeah. Okay. Crown Prince. NBS, yeah. NBS? Muhammad bin Salman Okay He's not the king

But he's next in line And like the king's giving him all his power I actually yeah Someone came up to me at the World Cup And he was like He was in American that lives in Saudi Arabia And he was like I really want to bring you and Billy to Saudi Arabia

He's always talking about it on Macro dosing I think I think you guys would love it And I think we would I mean, just like the local Saudi people are all very friendly, all the ones I met at the World Cup. I think we could have a lot of fun there. How is the distinction of you guys got dressed up in the local garb? But it wasn't the local, it was in the Qatari garb.

It was the Saudi garb. Yeah, I think it comes down to the Saudis usually wear that like red and white checkered headdress. Yeah. And the Qataris kind of just wear like a white one with a black black. band it's probably like i feel like that's the difference between like kilts like uh different types of uh flannel not flannel what's the uh plaid yeah different types of plaid between different scottish clans like it's the it's the same type of uh like different dress yeah yeah different families exactly yeah yeah i didn't know about that at all it's it's very

comfortable um is it like is it the best garb to wear in that climate yeah if it well especially if you have to cover up it's yeah it's comfortable yeah i wasn't too hot i unfortunately lost mine i i was going to bring it back and wear it to the office some days um because it's how what's like the pc is that pc yeah um uh the locals actually really like it when visiting tourists wear it um but it's funny i remember an american girl wore a chinese Chi-Pao, which is their traditional dress to prom and caused an outroar. Everyone's like, it's cultural appropriation, you're disrespecting Chinese culture, and they were pissed.

But in Arab countries, they're either very amused by it or they actually see it as a sign of respect and shows that you're embracing the culture. Huh. Yeah. Yeah. Logan Paul did that when he went to Saudi to fight over. Oh yeah for the WW event

He wore the whole And they like rejoiced Yeah Yeah I liked it Would they be down With us rocking in the U.S? I don't know

But they go over there And they seem like they enjoy The win Like he said Like it's a sign of respect I'd be down Because I hear like The

The dynamics of it Because it's like Flowy It like The movement of it Like brings in cool air and like since it's almost like there's more like what's the word airflow yeah where it's like it you don't get hot in it basically because it has good i'm forgetting the word like the part in the car

where you press and it goes uh whatever but i think it actually is like the best stuff to wear over there keeps the sun off and keeps you cool it does by circulating the air it does but that's pretty dope. How, yeah. I'm still not, I'm still confused how Qatar built their team. They are the age and spent at least a generation. Qataris.

Huh. But, yeah, I'm not sure. Yeah, so overall had a blast in Qatar. I had a friend who was staying on a cruise ship there because they parked two cruise ships just like that were parked at the Port of Qatar

for the Whole World Cup and those were awesome I went out only planning to spend a day and then I ended up leaving the following morning we were having so much fun Oh, that's awesome

I don't think I got to bed until maybe six in the morning but that must have been where the party was at yeah there were a lot of parties going on though like all the hotel bars were constantly packed throughout the whole tournament

and they had beach clubs too that you could go to but have you ever been on a cruise no okay have you ever been on a cruise ship been on like a couple boats but I've never been on like a cruise cruise cruise like carnival cruise yeah the setup there was great because they have pools they had a giant TV so you could like sit in a pool sipping a beer while watching the World Cup matches that was probably better than was the what jurisdiction was it on the cruise ship

was it like legally yeah i think they could legally do whatever they want that's awesome like i know there was like the alcohol issue like did they just like turn the shoulder or was it just like you had to go in certain areas like what was the yeah the main thing is that at first they said you were going to be able to buy beers outside of the stadiums and that's what they banned at the last moment so we couldn't drink at the games but around doha there were tons of bars most of somewhere inside hotels. There was also this fan village on or a fan festival on a beach and they had beers pretty much the whole day. And then they had a fan festival downtown that was only selling beer after 6.30 p.m. But it ended up not being tough to find a beer. And then I had

this dude from America that has been living in Qatar for the last five years. They have one liquor store in the country and you're only allowed to go there if you live in Qatar, which he did. So he stocked up before the World Cup and got me two handles of Jack Daniels. But they have a crazy rule. In Qatar, you can only spend 10% of your monthly salary on booze. That's wild. But for the World Cup, they upped it to 20%. So I think he had just been loading up for the past few months. A hilarious thing happened, though, when I was checking out of the apartment

where I stayed with PFT, I accidentally left the handles in my freezer. And then I left for like an hour. I came back to get my bags. And they were like, hey, I think you left something in the freezer and they had the bottles waiting for me. They weren't like mad, but I took the bottles to my next apartment

and put them in the freezer. And the next morning they were frozen solid, which I don't think Jack Daniels, freezes solid normally. So I'm thinking the staff of the hotel were probably like jackpot and just poured some out and filled it up with water.

Oh shit. Like I'm sure some of you guys have done to your parents. Yeah. And so because, yeah, Jack Daniels, it's very high proof. It normally won't just freeze. Because for like the local workers

getting a bottle of whiskey is probably close to impossible. I think these are like smaller bottles. and I'm pretty sure they were $70 U.S. dollars a bottle. You know, I saw this guy who... It's not cheap. He went off the beaten track and, like, he was an English guy. He found where the workers lived.

Yeah, that was the one thing they told the media, like, don't film where the workers live. Yeah. I feel like that would be the one way for us to get in trouble there. If I put out a video like Yeah Showing you the real life of a World Cup worker The apartments didn't look too bad Okay

I'm pulling up the video right now Yeah England fan guitar Finds Erie Yeah let's pull this up This morning I left my hotel With the intention of getting out into the sticks And showing people a completely different side of guitar One that the media won't show you

and thanks to two security guards, what I managed to find was unbelievable. So this is where I'm going to jump in. Upon arrival in Messai, I found myself at the gates of a migrant camper. I asked for a look round, I was told no. So the taxi driver brought me here. This is the city centre of Mess Aid, where I was faced with something, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. 25 to 30, completely abandoned tower blocks with no entry signs everywhere. You could not get on the premises.

Now, listen, the 10-year-old me was thinking, just jump the fence and get in there. And then I met this man, Sadiq. What a fella. Security guard in the right place at the right time offered me my own. little private sort of these buildings. Now, these buildings were home to the geysers that built the World Cup stadiums. Yeah, I know.

Unbelievable. Now, all the doors were locked until on the third floor was struck gold. This is an apartment building and a little flat, well, I say little, it's very, very big. So this is where, well, Sadiq reckons maybe up to 10 workers would live in these rooms. So all the magnificent football stadiums that you've been watching on your tellies these past few days were built by people living in these premises. It had a very eerie, raw feel to it when I was walking round. Obviously, all the personal belongings and furniture had been stripped out.

You know, they're being demolished in the next couple of months. I'm fire extinguisher. They are always handy. What I can tell you is, by the way, miles better than my uni accommodation. I think I speak for many students on that one. but yeah extremely spacious I don't know what the conditions were like obviously you know there's no one here

what the rooms though look at that massive you can definitely fit two or three workers in there I'm sure knowing the Qataris that's exactly what they did another balcony on the left and we finished a bit like homes under the armour and we finish off with the final bedroom by the way only an onsuit

different gravy thanks so much for these two security guards being in the right place at the right time today. Forgive me. I forgot the gentleman's name in the middle, but Sadiq was fantastic. As they continue to assist me on my mission to show you guys a different side of Qatar. Thank you. Was this on TikTok?

Yeah, I was on TikTok. Damn. Yeah, no, it didn't look that bad. Yeah, those apartment buildings looked way better than a lot of my friends places in New York City. Yeah. Bedrooms. No, I mean, all the workers there were so friendly. As I said, I only met maybe two local Qataris. That's when we were

we were in the suite. But the rest of the time you're meeting people from Kenya, Pakistan, Bangladesh, all over Africa, really. And those were the people who were the traffic guards, who were the Uber drivers, who were working at the restaurants, and all as friendly as could be. Like this one guy, you'll see in the video we put out on U.S. versus England, I got three Bud Zeros and a Fanta at halftime, and I couldn't carry it all. and like the guy working the cashier was like, oh, I'll carry the phantom back to your seat for you. Oh, yeah. That's awesome.

I think the only guy there that maybe had more fun than me in PFT is there is this scouser, a dude from Liverpool, his first night out, he was wandering around Doha, trying to find beer, and ran into a couple local Qataris who were like sheiks, and they invited him back to their palace. They just had this giant mansion. and he goes there and he starts they have a pet lion had like a bunch of other exotic animals that's dope uh you can probably find the link of that it's a whole i saw that video yeah it's a hilarious

video all of a sudden he's just petting a a baby lion i would have loved to see how the local kataris live because it seems like it's sort of a fantasy life i mean i was on the liver king's Instagram and actually whole saga there but he's in Saudi Arabia I think right now the liver king is now too yeah dude there's been so many celebs like

like the same time that DJ Khalid was doing promo for that place in Saudi Arabia Henry Henry Golding you know the star of crazy rich Asians he's also a big fan of barstole I guess he was there too

and so I feel like Saudi right now is just inviting I'm surprised did they invite the liver king especially right after the whole steroid saga well so oh so new

news breaking news on liver king he's officially decided to quit steroids so I mean I doubt like I just wrote a blog on it but I'll pull it up right now

but liver king has announced he will quit steroids but the reason I originally even brought up Lever King is because look at this video There's this video of him in Saudi Arabia With By Rough and Rowdy With a giant albino lion Was this posted very recently?

Yeah very recently But it's crazy like this is an example of One of the exotic animals Some of these oil barons For lack of a better term keep And it is a out Like not only is it a male African lion with a main but it is an albino African lion that's like it's a

like I was at the reptile show last week and we were looking at all the different color morphs of expensive snakes and not only does this guy have a very expensive animal in a lion but he has a like an albino lion like a white tiger type thing like that's a very rare expensive creature to keep but also to buy. But back to Liver King quitting steroids, Liver King won't be able to quit steroids. Do you get withdrawals from that? Well, not only that, but your body stops producing testosterone and HGH naturally.

And this guy was taking $11,000 worth of HGH and he was on TRT. So his body might not be able to naturally produce those hormones anymore. Yeah. So it's almost impossible for him to, quit because unless you know he tries to jump start his system doing something but it's like that's dangerous to basically go from superhuman levels of testosterone to nothing he's going to be to probably like the mental side effects are huge oh yeah I mean the guy like that's they say that in middle aged men low testosterone is the leading cause of like depression anxiety yeah but so you can

just take instead of getting on steroids you can take testosterone supplements right well testosterone replacement but he's already on that okay so for him to be totally natural like he was saying on the andrew shultz podcast he would have to stop all of that and which is impossible yeah how long has he been on it has he like ever stated or is like on record anywhere i think he's been i could imagine that he definitely did steroids before he was uh before he was liver king and i think that's what caused his usage and now he's you know like taking the most steroids ever i mean like he's he's on so you knew he was on steroids way before the email was leaked my first blog about liver king i said he's definitely on steroids this guy is in natural and now it just came out and the way it came

out's pretty wild. He basically was trying to consult. The way he got caught was there's this guy called More Plates More Dates. And his name's Derek. And he was a former bodybuilder. He has tons of videos called Natty or Not trying to figure out who's on steroids. But anyway, Liver King originally reached out to Derek and was like, hey, can you help me to obtain an amazing physique so I can sell supplements and he in derrick gets like tons of these um requests and one day Derek was looking back on all of his requests in his inbox and like his DMs and found liver king was messaging and trying to get help on using steroids oh okay so he got caught red handed but like all these guys who end up doing that like even joe rogan can't get off

testosterone replacement therapy because he is dependent on it has he talked about that Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, I know, but like, doesn't like hymns or Roman or something like that, don't they sell just a testosterone pill or something? Yeah, but that's just support. That's just like a multivitamin. Okay. Like that's not going to replace testosterone. So testosterone replacement therapy, can you, is that just like taking a pill too? No, it's a shot. It's a shot. Okay. Have you ever seen Joey Kamasta shooting it up in the office?

He takes it? Yeah. Joey like there's videos Isn't he worried if he if he does too much of that It's gonna turn him straight I don't know I think it might be on his TikTok like Pat's done it for him before and like Rudy to Yeah I'm looking like shoot it like right into Joey

And his inner thigh I don't even know I don't even know Oh shit I don't even know to look for this Why does he want that just I think I don't know what makes him feel better He apparently had very low T and he had like Because of his low testosterone he had gyno and he went to the doctor and he got uh gyno chomastia like the surgery to get rid of it and then they said you probably need more testosterone what is gyno is that when you get tits when you

start to grow tits i'm gonna see t shot tuesday yeah out in about 75 tuesday they do it on tuesdays i'm pulling up the youtube but joey's very open about his testosterone usage so joe rogan and Joey Kamasta. Yeah, I wonder if there are any gay guys out there that, like, want a man with man tits. But then I guess they wouldn't, they wouldn't be gay if they were trying to find a man with tits. Here's, here's Joey. Oh, okay, we got, we got an ad to watch before you can see Pat sticking knee on on Joey's ass. This is just the straightest of research.

now we're seeing like look look he's just shooting he's just shooting him up it's so ridiculous I think he has two different shots though there's another shot that he has that he just is like it's more like a pin and he that might be for something else

he's done that as well I don't know what he's he's shooting up all sorts of stuff yes oh my god yeah well that's Joey's shooting up testosterone yeah I've never had to

inject someone. I know Botox's injections too and I think they've done Botox injections on that too. Yeah. Oh yeah. So I remember seeing this headline back in 2007 shampoo ingredient tied to breast growth in boys.

Whoa. Lavender and tea tree oils. Whoa. I think I use a tea tree oil shampoo right now. Lavender is supposed to boost your tea. Lavender and tearile is found in some shampoos, soaps, and lotions can temporarily leave boys with enlarged breasts in rare cases.

But I'm currently using a tea tree oil shampoo. That stuff's supposed to be good for you. I know. I love the smell of tea tree oil. Apparently you can treat dandruff as well. Yeah. Wait, but you think that's supposed to boost your tea? Like, I'm pretty sure the smell of lavender is improving.

Lavender. All this came out in 2007. Maybe it's been just proven, but right here I'm seeing lavender and tea tree oils cause breast growth, boys. Lavender doesn't directly trigger hormonal changes, but instead it can help reduce stress and make it easier for the body to regulate its own production of hormones. In the process, it can help naturally improve testosterone. Huh. Quite the conundrum here. Chemicals in lavender and tea tree oils can be estrogenic.

Damn. is trying to kill your testosterone nowadays. They say that, like, male testosterone from, like, 50 years ago has gone down, like, 70%. Okay. With, like, going for a jog every day, do you think that would increase your tea? Yeah, 100%. Like, exercise. All right, just doing some sort of exercise.

I go jogging with my dog every morning. Stu Feiner, I think, takes testosterone. He's another tea shot guy. Oh, he takes the tea shots? He does the videos of him and the endocrin. psychologist office, taking the T-shot. He's wild, because he's talked openly about how he used to do a lot of cocaine, but it's, it's funny how, like, I feel like someone like him is the type of guy that does not need

cocaine because he just naturally acts like he's on cocaine. I know, but do you think people who do cocaine end up, like, getting like that? Because everyone I know who did tons of cocaine is a very extroverted. Extroverted guy? Like, do you think it's a causation or? a correlation, whereas those types of people do cocaine? I don't know, because I'm sure they're also, like, I think I've met some people that are pretty, are pretty quiet normally, but then if they do a lot of, a lot of cocaine would get

very talkative. Huh. Yeah, it's weird that you would think they're the type of people that's like, why do you even feel the need to be constantly doing cocaine if you're just naturally so, you know, outgoing and talkative? Yeah. I mean, I guess those types of people like cocaine. Yeah. Yep. And like other people.

I think so. Introverts. I think I recently saw a cocaine shirt on the Barstall store. You did? Yeah. No way. Yeah. After you were shut down. That would have been, I mean, that got blown so out of proportion.

yeah yeah it's the i think we saw a shirt oh cocaine bear oh that's on sale uh because is there a yeah the movie yeah that's a real story yeah someone in tennessee there's like a drug runner in tennessee they're dumping bags of cocaine out of the plane and a black bear ate all the cocaine and it it died okay almost immediately but it the reason it kept eating the cocaine was because the cocaine kept making it feel good. Yeah. So then I just kept eating more and more cocaine than just overdosed. That would actually be a fun topic for the pub, like all the ways that animals get high.

Yeah. I don't know if you guys have talked about it in the past, but I mean, monkeys love eating rotten fruit because they'll get drunk off the fruit. Dolphins get high off a puffer fish. And then reindeer eat trumes up in Siberia. and trip out Jaguars eat ayahuasca Really? Holy shit Yeah

This is the real cocaine bear Not like the fake cocaine bear But Hey so jaguars do Yeah or yeah Yeah I guess here is a jaguar Tripping on Yaga Yaga

Well Yaga which is the Ayahuasca vine Oh word Um Ellis let me pull up that video Uh yeah Yeah, this is a jaguar tripping on. And then, yeah, reindeer's do shrooms.

Do you think people copy the jaguars? Oh, yeah, here it is. Yeah, why reindeer's love magic mushrooms. We can read about that next. I mean, realistically, cats have been into hallucinogens since day one. I mean, catnip. Catnip, yeah, it's very closely related to weed. Yeah, I think it has one of the closest, it's like almost identical to cannabis or something like that.

Catnip. That is hilarious when that-cats. Donned on me that we sell drugs for cats. Yeah, we do. For cats, which is dogs don't have any drugs. I mean, imagine if someone invented dog nip. If I had a drug, I'd give it to my dog. If there was like a safe drug for dogs?

I mean, we have a dog right here. I wonder what types of drugs. What happens if you give a dog catnip? Is there something about like a cat's brain? Yeah, so I once rescued a bunch of kittens. I found them in a barn that I was clearing out to live in during COVID. And I found all these little kittens and then they were all scared and then I gave them catnip to just see like because they're all like scared little kittens. They didn't like vibe with me.

Yeah. Then I gave them all catnip and they literally like, it opened them up. It changed their personality towards humans. They're like so happy to see me. That's cool. They're like, then whenever I'd come out, they'd be like, oh, like they became more cuddly. What does catnip do to cats? They have an extra scent organ that in, okay, so they have a special scent organ and catnip

goes into it and it causes. it mimics feline sex hormones so they will often display behaviors similar to a female cat and heat both male and female cats experiences affect now this is wild it says while it makes cats excited it actually calms dogs down shit although it won't affect all dogs but it like so catnip will affect all cats catnip won't have an effect on all dogs but for some dogs it calms them down, and it can also help prevent fleas. Huh. I think you should start to actually, your dog seems like it does not have to calm down.

My dog is way too chill. Yeah. He's just, he goes nuts for a little. So like when he first came to the office, he was so excited to see everybody. Then like, now he's very chill. Once it's like, oh, these guys are podcasting, I'm just going to chill. Yeah, this is, so not only is catnaps safe for your dog, but it's also. incredibly effective at dealing with a wide variety of health issues.

So if you're listening to this at home, it's time to start giving catnip to your dog. I feel like big catnip is writing this. Big catnip. Big catnip. Yeah, I mean, who even, who can, who controls the catnip sale? The catnip trade. Yeah. And also, how did we learn about catnip?

Where's catnip from? Like, that's such a weird thing that. wait so i wonder i want to know how many cat like cat owners regularly give their cat cat nap okay so cat i feel like it's pretty common like it's like you just see it at the store like you pass it see it at the store yeah like oh i will get this so can humans do catnip yeah i wish we could do catnip uh so catnip is a species so it's like a weed that's pretty much everywhere Two-thirds, so two-thirds of cats have an intense attraction. Does catnip work on, like, big cats?

Ooh. Play up to give them a lot of catnip. You had, like, a calm down, like a tiger or, like, something like that, or like a bingo doesn't work on that big of a... No, it works. Do big cats like catnip? Do tigers like catnip? catnip is no

yeah no exception it works let's find a video of them wait now I'm seeing that catnip can work on humans too no we gotta get some catnip we gotta get some catnip I would smoke catnip

it says the compounds in catnip may promote relaxation and help people with anxiety restlessness or insomnia and it may relieve headaches too now I think I don't know if you're supposed to smoke it Or just eat it?

How can... Oh, my God. It does everything. It's reported to have antibacterial and antifungal properties. Let's, we got, how do we get high on catnip? It's also an aphrodisiac. We need to smoke some... Sure, you can smoke it.

Yes, you can smoke catnip. Can humans get high on catnip? Yes, I have smoked catnip and also drank it steep like tea or eaten with peanut butter. I feel like peanut butter That might get the hallucinogenic The effect was most intense With eating with the peanut butter Consuming catnip with fat

Peanut butter, whole milk helps your body best absorb The catnip Catnip in small doses for me Made me feel calm and relaxed If I consumed a little more The effect of my head Feel a little different or dizzy Weird backstory

I had a cat who enjoyed catnip On a regular basis When my cat died We buried her in the backyard And in the spot she was buried Catnip grew from it grew from then on it was strange by as soon as it was results of her consuming catnip prior to her demise i enjoyed having my own little patch of catnip experimented with the use of catnip wow so he's

this is my why catnips probably spread everywhere because cats would eat it and then like move long distances and then die and then catnip would grow yeah i mean i've never seen catnip in the wild i don't i don't think i even know what it looks like imagine we get cats catnip bands because we just get everybody doing catnip? I do think, all right, I think the next time we record an extra dose, we should start off by eating a catnip and peanut butter sandwich. We just start purring halfway through. Yeah.

You know, it sounds like it's like, you know, it's not as intense as weed, but it could be like a nice little. I mean, if it's relaxing buzz. I don't even like weed. No, I haven't really been enjoying weed as much. I haven't enjoyed weed since, like, high school? Yeah, yeah. No, I mean, so in college, I lived with people who smoked weed all the time. And so I was just constantly doing it, but, like, not enjoying it.

Just I've always, when someone, like, hands me to join, I've always had problems of just saying no. Yeah. And I'm always like, oh, maybe I'll have a lot of fun this time. if I'm like already pretty drunk and it's the end of the night sometimes a little bit of weed can be relaxing I mean either makes me like tweak out like or just go to sleep yeah I mean I just don't understand like the people we have people at the office that probably do it at work not to be a narc that's fine and they can fully function at work and go do shows and stuff but anytime I've like smoked at work

I'm like this is such a weird place to be right now when I'm really high I'm always like this this weed definitely had fentanyl on it like that's why I'm tweaking out right now like the one time like the one time is that even a thing is no it's not but try to explain that to me when I'm high okay yeah no I don't think I don't think you need to worry about fentanyl in your weed

I don't know if we talked about this on the last pod, but the most popular drug in the Gulf states, so Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, it's actually something called Captagon. Oh. It's pretty much like a crystal meth pill. It's mixed with a few other things.

Capitagon. But it is like they have, oh, it's also popular in Syria. They've had, oh, it's been popular in Syria with all of the fighters there. Oh, yeah, I can imagine. Yeah. Meth and war go hand in hand.

Yes. If it wasn't for meth, wars wouldn't drag out for so long. Mm-hmm. Because back in like, back in like when people used to have like, if you think of ancient war, like yesterday used to be wars that spanned thousands of years, but it usually had less concentrated amounts of battles. Yeah, there would be one. And then people are like, all right, we're not going to do that again. That was brutal.

Yeah. We'll just call the war after that. Yeah, or if it's like the 100 years war between the British and the French, there were battles, but it wasn't, no one was consistently living in a war zone. Yeah. Because it was either naval or it was like much more less concentrated, like there was a skirmish here, skirmish there. Everyone was preparing for war, but it wasn't like war zone in Syria, like everything was destroyed. but people then would continue to keep going. And that's because they're all a meth.

Yeah. No, and it's one, the one time I accidentally tried meth, I couldn't feel pain. So I lost my flip-flops and I was just walking around barefoot for the rest of the night. Like, no pain at all. And then the following morning when I finally sobered up, the bottom of my feet were torn up. And I had no idea because I just hadn't felt.

pain that all night did you ever um uh see the movie beasts of no nation uh no is that about child soldiers yeah and would they give the yeah so they would give the children i'm actually gonna this would get copyright striked if i pulled up beast of no nation uh basically in the movie they got this stuff called bang bang okay it's like gunpowder heroin in meth oh yeah i heard about that. And they like light a piece. So like they have the meth. They have it. And they like light something and they either like bang bang bang. I mean

why? Bang bang drug. And then these kids just go in there. Okay. Bang bang or bang bang is usually the drug cocaine. It's used. Oh no. It's not cocaine. Probably just.

I think it's heroin. Beasts a no nation's drug. I mean, you give a kid that, and then you can... Brown-Brown, it's not bang, bang. You can tell them to do whatever they want, whatever you want. Yeah, brown-brown. So, brown-brown is a purported form of cocaine or amphetamine, insufflation mixed with smokeless gunpowder. The powder often contains nitroglycerin, a drug prescribed for heart conditions, which may call vasodilation, permitting cocaine or amphetamine, insufflation to move more freely through the body this in turn is believed to allow for more intense

high the term may also refer to so these guys were doing heroin amphetamines and then doing nitroglycerin nitroglycerin is in a couple pre-workouts i think to boost your pump isn't that also in like bombs yeah well it's in gunpowder oh okay yeah yeah so yeah so this is what they're giving all the child soldiers damn yeah and then wasn't the guy we just traded for brittany griner wasn't like one of the he supplied of death yeah he supplied a lot of

guns to the african armies that were using child soldiers yeah i mean i think it was in one of those conflicts that we don't really talk about too much but uh like the the road there's there was a bunch of wars like cold war proxy wars yeah in africa during like the 80s and stuff and it was the only reason why the U.S. allowed apartheid

to exist for so long and they were like, well, we're the because they didn't want the other side taken over. Yeah, all the post-colonial parts of Africa like, you know, I think in Blood Diamond they talk about it like that was the

he was a veteran. Yeah. No, I mean the U.S. supported a lot of horrible regimes during the Cold War simply because they weren't communist. Yeah. including Pol Pot in Cambodia. Like we supported a lot because we were like, the other option is Cambodia going communist. Yeah.

But then Pol Pot pretty much led a genocide. He was pretty much telling all the kids and stuff, kill your parents. Like if your parent has a college degree and like, you know, is in intellectual, kill them. Jeez. uh and apparently like one third of their population was killed it's wild they killed their parents uh yeah i don't know if they were killing their their actual parents but yeah everyone was turned against

anyone who was educated there imagine if trump like told like if your parents are libs yeah yeah no it's kind of like that young republicans if your parents are libs kill them um so the merchant of death was arrested in Thailand sanctions buster was he who is he and then did Thailand hand him over to the U.S.? Yeah so he basically figured out a cell

post-Soviet weapons to different bad different bad entities across the world I think Chaps was saying last night when we were talking to him that like he was over in Thailand

for a while, and then he was given over to the U.S. So he was there for a little bit, and then we took him over for his, like, sentence. So he was selling, he was selling the, like, Taliban and Al-Qaeda in 2001 weapons in Afghanistan. So. Okay. He had, like, 20 giant cargo planes, and they're just going to and from places in Russia and former Soviet Republic of like Tajikistan and just bringing AKs, bullets, RPGs. Like he's kind of the reason why like every like bad terrorist group uses AK-47s.

Yeah. But hey, he would have sold guns to good people too if they had asked. I'm sure he wouldn't only sell the bad people. I mean, I think the U.S. cornered the market on selling guns to good people, quote unquote. and he just saw the market of selling guns to the people the U.S. want to sell guns to. Yeah. I'm wondering why Russia wanted him back so much.

Like, do some people think like he still has the ability to get Russia more guns for its war in Ukraine? I have a feeling that he knows the location of like, you know, in war dogs where there's just a random, a random stash in Albania. sounds like a place to find a cashier guns if there's just like a bunch of different warehouses across the Soviet post-Soviet satellite states and like he just knows where they all are yeah like in Russia's like we can't go into these random states and get these guns because we aren't like

we're not the USSR anymore so like there's just like even in Romania like think about all those countries that like just are very hands off and like you know if you have a total huge warehouse filled with guns, bombs, ammunition, like, you know, you own that. It's private land. Yeah. We're not going to go, you know, take it.

But like, this guy probably can help arm the Russian army better than. Yeah. Like Chaps was saying that, like, I asked him, I was like, if we released him and, like, what's the chances of him going back and doing it again? He said he thought it was slim because he's like, we probably going to tell him. was like you try to do anything like we will take you out like this time because like we will know where he is but like not saying that he won't but like it's yeah you would more unlikely than not that he would he probably knows people and will tell people what to do but him himself

actually doing it was unlikely is what it seemed like he was saying yeah because you would think the CIA is now going to be keeping constant surveillance on him yeah and if they see him doing something maybe just put out a hit yeah that's what he was assassinated because i once he's been caught like we'll forever keep an eye on him now. So it's like he can tell people what to do and whatnot. But like if he's in charge of running anything, like we'll find him. It's like what I got from it. Yeah.

I mean, besides that, I don't think, I think he more has information that he can divulge to the, or I actually saw this take, the U.S. flipped him and we, and we trade. He's a spy. He's our guy now. We flipped him and now he's. like and everyone's like oh that this deal is so terrible but it's like no we just we now have an asset that we're going to use and we literally got brittney grinder back and implanted a spy into the russian you know regime did you see the guy did you see the guy from raytheon

uh the rathion was like yeah we can tell the ukrainians uh where the russian tank is as soon as they come over the border and like are they have a satellite up there yeah like Raytheon and U.S. defense companies are like helping the Ukrainians fight. Yeah. But it's like, like that's what's weird that we have like a, like the military industrial complex. Like it's so many private entities that even though they're American countries, they can directly.

Yeah. Yeah. In themselves in the. No, like that was a crazy thing to learn in the Iraq war. Like how many private companies were involved in that? Like it wasn't just, oh, the U.S. military is going to Iraq. rack there were all these just like private security contractors black ops that like were also like what was that yeah blackwater is that what it was called that yeah they had and that was like

oh cheney was just working with them to get them paid a fuck ton well then there's the flip side of that the russian blackwater which is the wagner group and they're doing some seriously shady stuff in africa oh yeah and is the wagner group based in the u.s no no it's a Russian but like Wagner is a very English name yeah that like it's like a you know Putin talks about the Anglo-Saxon

uh access of like the evil Anglo-Saxon American British yes like that versus the Slavic Russian yeah like whatever and but like the Wagner group is purposely has an Anglo name so that it can conduct stuff and not be Russian oh okay like the optics of a like the the the the Vladimir group yeah it wouldn't it wouldn't sound as good

the Vladimir group is you know guarding uh diamond mines and Sierra Leone yeah like guarding the little children who are taking the diamonds up and supplying warlords like yeah uh I think there's also another group called Gemco and Gemco's whole thing is like if you're like a pirate If you're a pirate, like, and you pirate an oil, an oil tanker, that they'll just buy it from you. No questions asked. All right. And then they'll get it to the right people. Yeah, the Wagner Group mercenaries reading about now.

What is Russia's Wagner Group of Mercenaries in Ukraine? Oh, and then there's a video Wagner Group mercenaries recruiting Russian prisons. It's a fight and not like, yeah, I wonder if Russia's, going to start doing that. Yeah, now look at this. It's insane that this war is still going on. I know. It's like I didn't think I didn't think we would see a full-fledged European war like in our lifetime almost. Yeah. I mean, but it seems pretty full-fledged. I mean, it hasn't spread between those two countries, which is good. I mean, Poland caught astray. Um, oh yeah. Yeah, so look at this.

If we flip this, you may have heard of it. It's called The War in Ukraine is Hard, not even close to the Chechen Wars and others. So in this video, for those listening, there's a man. I think he's the head of the Wagner group talking to prisoners in a Russian prison. And he's trying to say, like, if you join our group, you'll get freedom. Yeah, I'm sure most of them are going to take that. Yeah. If you were Brittany Greiner.

Yes. I was actually thinking about this if you got captured by the Russians would you try to fight in Ukraine and then escape on the front lines no

I don't know if they're offering that deal to foreigners they're only offering that deal to Russian prisoners I'm pretty sure if you want to fight in the Russian army right now it's all takers I don't think they would let

I don't think they would let an American out of jail to fight for the Russian army. Yeah. I don't think they would trust me. Yeah. I was thinking about that. I would be like trying to switch sides. It would be like, no, I come in peace and the Ukrainians would shoot me 100%.

Well, if you're like, I'm an American, bro. Yeah, I would probably get tried. But when I saw this video of these guys trying to recruit into the Wagner group to fight for Ukraine, I was like, well, Brittany, Brittany Griner, that might be your best shot. But, like, now that we know, she got out. Yeah, the merchant of death is from Tajikistan, where my buddy, Jamal, is from. Yeah. Do you think he's, like, Tajiki or is...

Tajik? I don't know. Tajikistan's a crazy place because it's a Muslim country, but the president is, like, very anti-Islam. So, apparently they had a... they have a law there that you can't have a huge beard like like like they do in a lot of Islamic countries. Yeah. And I heard like if you're just walking down the street and you have like a big beer, there's a chance the government will like pull up in a van, like pull you into the van, chop off your beard and throw you back out. And throw you back out.

That's ridiculous. Yeah. He's like very Soviet and like doesn't really like anti-Islam for some reason um like speaking of uh iran too like iran used to be super liberal oh yes and and that's when we were best friends of iran um like i don't know if he was i'm sure like i'm sure he was pretty corrupt himself um and that there were problems with that government too but like then it just went the entire like went to the complete it went in the complete opposite direction it went to the the other extreme i mean if you look at these pictures of yeah like before the iranian revolution like this could be like the 1950s america or the 70s yeah but like they had total like how fashion thrived for the Islamic revolution yeah the shaw used to like throw the craziest

parties ever um when oh so i guess the shah threw a party it was his last party before he was overthrown that's got to be a part that's got to be a crazy no and it was it was to like honor the 2000 anniversary of the persian empire or something like that and someone's someone's calling it like the most expensive party ever yeah in 1971 the shaw of persia of persia flew in 18 tons of food to celebrate his country's 2,500th anniversary and his own glory. Emperors, kings, presidents, and sheiks from all over the world were regaled for three days amidst the ancient ruins of Persopolis. This sounds like the wildest party ever.

Like the king of France was there. I wonder. Wow. He threw a wild party. Do the Iranians, it's crazy how the Persian Empire versus the Arabic Empire and that's how the two sects of Islam sort of happened because like the there's the Sunni and the Shiite, I'm pretty sure the Sunni are the Iranians? No, the Sunni is the Sunni? I always get that mixed up. But yeah, it is like, yeah, it's wild like right now.

We just think of like. Shi'is Iranian. We think of the Arab world as the Muslim world. But no, I mean, the Arab world used to just be the Saudi Arabian Peninsula. They're the ones who started Islam. Yeah. But they had to conquer Persia. Like we always think of like Iran.

Oh, yeah, that's just a Muslim country. No, it was it was not. They had their own. Zoroastrianism. Yeah, that Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism. Yes. And that was another.

monotheistic. Like they believed in one god too. And then, yeah, they just got completely Islamized. Yeah, they just... But yeah, so that's what we think like a lot of people in the U.S.

at least think of like all Muslims as just oh, you guys are, you guys are Muslim or you guys are Arab. But there's the Turks and then there's the Persians, there's the Arabs. And then there's all of the Muslims in Indonesia and stuff.

Oh, yeah. Indonesia's sneaky biggest Muslim country in the world. Yes. Sneakest. It is. It's crazy that they became Muslim, like, because of the traders. How did it? Yeah, no, I think it was through trade because Muslims used to, they kind of controlled all

the trade and the Indian Ocean for a while until the Portuguese arrived. I'm reading about the the Shah's last party 50,000 songbirds were flown in from Europe three days later they were all dead because I don't think European songbirds can survive too long

in Persia Whoa so is so it arrived Yeah Islamic trade in Indonesia And then it was adopted by local rulers Yeah it wasn't conquering see you know for all those people who say that Islam was spread by the sword it was spread by trade to the biggest Indonesian country there yes

but in Persia it was spread by the sword oh it was a billion dollar party I think like how extravagant this party was helped the Ayatollah take over because they like they saw their president throw away billion dollar party and they were like

all right this guy is getting out of hand he has to be stopped um a billion dollar fucking party holy shit how do you even think you could throw a good party i mean yes you could but like if we had a billion dollars to throw a party what would we buy what would we do um yeah well yeah he threw it when 51 of his population lived below the poverty line so yeah they went from like two extremes where was it even hosted um it was hosted in the ancient city of persopolis so he just had like this yeah just created like this like really fancy campsite i guess i don't know i guess if we if you had a billion dollars you just create a huge uh like like uh music festival and just have like yeah he pretty

much through a music festival for like all of the uh heads of power in the world and it was in the middle of the desert. So to create an oasis in the middle of the desert, he flew in 15,000 trees, 15,000 flowers. Oh, some of them were from the gardens of Versailles in France. And he created a lush oasis in the middle of the desert and then just threw a rager there. That's, he did Burning Man. No, even better. Yeah. That's a way to throw a billion dollars. I mean, if we, if we had a billion dollars, throw a party, something like that, and then just multiple stages with, like, tons of great artists. Yeah. See if you can find, like, a YouTube video on this party. I wonder if we could watch it. Yeah. What was it called? Somebody will make a movie out of this. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. And so

pretty much everyone was staying in these just luxurious tents. So yeah, it does have like a music festival vibe, but it's all the most powerful people in the world. 25. Ooh, there was a full 18-hole golf course there. I mean, everything has to be there if it was a billion dollars. Yeah, one tent contains 16 hair salons and four beauty parlors. I mean, yeah, I guess you have to. There were even secret gambling rooms. Secret.

Oh, and he was flying chefs from Paris to do all the food. To transport all the food and equipment to the middle of the Iranian desert, the shop built an airfield. so all the planes could lie could land this included 380,000 eggs 30 KG of caviar 2,700 kilograms of pork 12 tons of wine Yeah look at these visuals

This was just Yeah because we had we had cameras back then He had to be prepping for years If he did like Imagine if he was Look he went out on top Dude that's how you ball out It was his last dance

but also he wasn't killed in the revolution i think he just like escaped the u.s oh yeah yeah and then he was probably living a fucking lavish life in the u.s too that's how you ball um might be the most expensive party at all time um yeah it's like i don't really care what this guy says i'm just trying to fast forward to cool stuff the shaw yeah I think it's known, yeah, it's the most expensive party in world's history. That's, uh, that's the tagline. Yeah, they had a vineyards. This sounds like the opposite of Firefest.

Yeah, it sounds like he delivered. Yeah, it sounds like he fucking delivered. That's why the U.S. was like, dude, you threw one hell of a party. You can seek refuge over here. Yeah. I wonder if a U.S. Wow, look at that. Who from the U.S. went.

I think it might be a bad look if the president was there, but I'm sure some people from the U.S. went. Let's see, the celebration. Who's on the guest list? Royalty list of guests. Okay, let's see. Oh, everybody. The king and queen of Denmark, Belgium, Jordan, Nepal, Norway,

Bahrain, Qatar, all the Amirs. Oh, the Amirs were raging. Yo, why was in England there? Australian presidents and prime minister. The Australian, the Australian president must have gotten lit. Australian Governor General, Canadian Governor General, Japanese Prince, Italian Prince and Princess. Crown Prince of Sweden. Prince Philip and Princess Anne.

So, wait. So Prince Philip, that's the Queen's husband who died. And Princess Anne went. She's a second child and only daughter of Queen Elizabeth. oh so so prince philip and queen elizabeth's daughter went i actually didn't know queen anne is she alive wait charles has a sister queen anne yeah yep yeah that's uh not a lot of people know about her but she does yeah she's still alive yeah uh who prince philip um i don't see anyone from spiro agnew went the vice president he was under uh i don't see anyone from the u.s

He, he resigned. Spiro Agnew was the only one I'm seeing. He was under Richard Nixon. Oh, yeah. He told Nixon to sit this one out. He'll go. Yeah. Oh, dude.

The vice president is not a bad gig at all. The chief, the chief. Speer Agnew. The chief Earl old person of Blackfeet Nation even went. Yeah, but I'm sure he flew in some like American movie stars. Yeah, there had to be. Yeah, that's hilarious. called Earl Old Person is the title of the Blackfeet Nation, which the Blackfeet Nation's in

Montana. Yeah. He was flying out Native American chief. He got everybody. God. Yeah, the vice chairman of China was there. Anyone who is somebody went. If you weren't at this party, you were a nobody.

And everyone got medals. yeah that's pretty sweet i mean i think we should try to secure an invite to saudi arabia um i'd be willing to do that's their empire party um i don't know but i well the thing is i think Saudi Arabia is like more strict than even Qatar like in like Qatar's always had hotel bars i don't even know if Saudi Arabian hotels have bars Like my fiance's parents used to live there And they said the only way they could get booze Was they would have to make it in the bathtub

Huh But they are starting to modernize a lot But so maybe Yeah so Nixon and Queen Elizabeth Were advised not to attend because of security Security was a major concern Prosopolis was a favorite site for the festivities

And was isolated thus could be tightly guarded. Very important consideration when many of the world's leaders were gathered. Iran's security service, SAVAC, captured and took preventive custody of anyone that's suspected of being a potential threat. Imagine if he had

Instagram. He could get anybody anywhere he wanted. These guys flex. I mean, all these guys flex on Instagram. Like, all the... Yeah. No, it is crazy... It is crazy how I don't think Saudi Arabia has any bars. I think they're like, they've held strong. Oh, no bars for drinking?

Yeah. I think like Qatar has always been like, yeah, it's on like hotel premises, whatever. If it's in a beach club, like a private beach club, it's okay. I think Saudi Arabia has still held strong and there's zero bars. I'm sure people find ways to get booze, but as far as I can tell, Dubai has recently lifted where now you can drink like now they'll just have bars all over the place in Dubai the bars don't have to be in a restaurant and by the way I went to a pool party in Dubai it was sick oh shit you paid a hundred bucks came with all you can eat buffet that had sushi oysters burgers chicken nuggets that tasted like McDonald's chicken nuggets and a free flow booze that was the highlight to McDonald's tasting chicken nuggets yeah I mean well that

They may have gotten these nuggets from McDonald's because they taste exactly like it. And free flow booze from 1 to 5 p.m. And then there's a pool. And the pool is on a beach. And then at night it turns into a dance floor. And they have a DJ there. And it was mainly, it was tons of Brits and Irish because I guess a lot of them teach over there. It was so much fun.

I like, I'm probably getting a little too old to be doing that every weekend. But if anyone wants to move to Dubai, that I would have had fun just going to that same spot every weekend. How much they did it? So it was $100, but that's not a bad deal when it comes for free. That comes with free flow booze, one to five. That's two meals. All you can eat one to five.

Eat at one, eat at five. Yeah. That's lunch and dinner. And then all the booze, like in New York City, you can wrap up a hundred. there. Every chick wearing a thong. What were the prices like in Qatar went for beer like on

those sites that you went? I must have spent a lot. I know like at the fan festival, they were 50 Katari Real, which was like $14 of beer. And I drank a lot of beer. So it's like you're at MetLife. Oh yeah, that's 1373.

Yeah, it was not cheap. I was probably always paying at least $10. of beer. Now, it's 434, first beer of the week, coming 26 minutes. Oh, okay. I've already cracked a high name. I know, I know.

I was thinking about it. I'm, you know, cracking beer took out a, outlasted an enemy of mine at this company. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Right, you know how Dave has those champagne bottles with people's inside? Oh, are you going to crack a beer? I'm going to write Rico on my Coors Light, crack in, drink it. Yep.

I actually, no, I'm not gloating, but. You were almost more of an enemy of his than Big Tea, would you say? Yeah, well, he made up with Big Tea. Okay, yeah. Yeah, for those who know Rico Bosco, who was grave dancing on me when I got suspended, has now left the company because he couldn't handle it. Yeah. So.

It was funny. I mean, he even, I wonder if he hated you more than Jeff Nadeu, because Ndu was like always trying to be his friend. And he was just like, no, fuck you. I think he didn't like me the most because I just kept going at him. Like, yeah, you push back. Like, I don't feel like he got that from a lot of people, at least like confrontational in person. Yeah. Like you would push back in person.

Most of it, I felt like be like Twitter beef. Yeah, I mean, he was, he was so soft, you would never do anything. I mean, it's one of those things where he just like, like, top, like, top. like such a tough guy and said like he like once talked about cutting off a horse's head and putting it in uh uh uh what's his face uh rothstein's bed oh yeah rothstein's bed i'm like you fucking like are you serious like and then he does the whole ignoring thing and i was like okay like he tries to ignore you and just like block everybody out but i just keep going at him and then he like i told him on the day portnoe show i was going to bully him until he couldn't do his

job and I think I got there yeah no I think I we got there Hank Hank Hank was kind of blaming you for yeah I mean yeah I mean that's pretty that's pretty stupid that like I don't know so did none of them like know this might happen it just came completely out of the blue he was like all right I'm leaving or did they like know he was he was kind of on his way out I have no idea that's between if you know just like this job so weird where it's like if you can't like you've got to sacrifice some of your like honor not honor but like you got to laugh at yourself yeah yeah yeah well that's the thing like if he didn't really react the first time when someone called him by his real name it wouldn't have been an ongoing thing

like they're just nice about it yeah yeah yeah like can you please not call me that yeah it's just because of this that and what i yeah yeah um but no i mean i don't even know why he originally started beefing with me he just one day out of the blue was like i don't like you yeah like you're now on my shit list and i don't know where that came from and yeah no i he started i was the one person he started a war with and i and you know i think i think i'm taking that i'm taking that dub king of the hill last one's day yeah i was never unfollowed by him maybe if he sees um me on this podcast with you, I will get on fall. Well, you're not allowed to interact with them anyway.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. But who knows? Like, in three years, I could, maybe in one year, I could see him trying to come back. Yeah. But, I mean, that is the crazy thing about Barstool. A lot of the people who have left, Dave has, like, offered an open door if they want to come back.

Not a lot of companies. Will you be able to get that? I know he's told that to Corobis. He's told that to Budabas. He's told that to boot a bend. He's always, yeah, if you ever want to, if you ever need a job in the future, you can come back. No, I mean, I'm not like a gambling personality. I feel like there's just so many gambling companies out there now, which it makes it like easier for them.

If you work in the, if you're like working the sports or gambling, there might be more opportunities. I'm not going to, I don't know where I'm going to go to try to get a bag and then come back. Vice yourself Yeah, but even Vice is like changed There was a time when I like would have loved to work for Vice But now I'd probably I'd rather not We have a couple people that came from Vice They're upstairs

Yeah, our like our head of YouTube used to work at Vice I think And then also our Facebook guy He used to work at Vice as well Okay That's crazy what has happened to Vice I don't know That sounds crazy story through.

Who's the guy who originally started who then started the Proud Boys? Oh, so yeah, there was a couple founders. Like, Shane was one and then Gavin something was the one who started the Proud Boys. Yeah. And then Shane, but Shane was still there for a while.

And New York Times wrote an article trying to take down Vice and they were like, at the company party, he had like tons of cocaine and strippers. And eventually the board forced him out. But that has never, you know, a lot of bad stuff has come out about certain people and like, you know, that I feel like the board has never like asked him to step down, which is, which is good. Huh. But yeah, they, but it's funny, like after he left, after Shane, that was the dude they, I think eventually like, asked to retire.

or they forced to retire. And then the company has sort of changed completely since then. Huh. But yeah, one of them went like rogue and started the proud boys. Which he claims it was like, oh, it was a joke, you know. But I think like it maybe started off as a joke and then became very serious. I mean, how does that sound like how did you start a militant group as a joke? Yeah.

You know who, do you guys, did you guys ever listen to O.P. and Anthony? No. Okay. That used to be like one of the most popular radio stations up in Boston. And one of those guys has gone like so extreme now. He's now probably one of the most like openly racist people on social media. It's insane. Jeez.

But. Huh. So what else has been going? Sorry, the dogs, the dogs getting a little restless. He's been very well behaved for the, pretty much this whole podcast. And now he's looking for attention. He wants some catnip. Just give him some catnip.

We're going to bring next extra dosing that dying can attend. We're getting catnip. The dog's doing catnip. Yeah, I mean, can you just buy catnip at like your local pet store? We can run out to Petco right now and get catnip. I think Walmart carries it too. I feel like if if I want to do some catnip, I don't want to do like Walmart catnip.

I want to do. Yeah, we got to get some fine ass catnip from the internet. I wonder if you can buy like. Holistic. Human, yeah, human catnip.

Actually, let's look at catnip for human consumption. Catnip for humans. I'm seeing some products. Oh, meowsiawana. Catnip filled joints. Amazon.

com. yo let's just buy those catnip bundles because I assume those joints are not made for cats catnip filled joints are these for humans they say they are there's no way a cat can smoke a joint like they're definitely in a corner and hope they sniff it are these real I think let's go to the Q&A and let's see

with the first questions probably are these for cats or humans? Just to touch upon, I want to see if we missed any types of animals that love drugs. I guess just big horn sheep like to scrape hallucinogenic lichens or lichens, huffer rocks. And then deer eating psychedelic mushrooms. Yeah, I mean. Didn't you say dolphins with pufferfish? Yeah.

Like you would assume that like another, like a shark, a shark or something else would end up eating. Well, I think a shark's too dumb to do drugs. Dolphins are smart as fuck. They are 100%. Yeah. Yeah, the puffer fish. Could a blue whale survive ingesting 76 pounds of cocaine? What?

Wallabies on opium? What the fuck? I can see that. SeaWorld whales pumped with volume and Xanax. That's probably why they started killing people. That's what they were giving. Yeah. Yeah, that's, that chimpanzee.

Yeah. To, uh, Travis. I mean, the humans give the, the killer whales Xanax because they're like trapped in a small tank like all day. That would be rough. I feel like whales like like a big blue whale doing some sort of psychedelic, I feel. Yeah. Whales are so insane how they were land animals that then just evolved to just be in the, in the water constantly.

and then just once they got once they were weightless in the water just became enormous. Yeah, I mean once they literally didn't have to support themselves they just blew up. Yeah. Which they're Did you ever see those aquatic humans? What? Yeah, wait.

There's a settlement in I think South, the South Pacific where I might have to discipline my dog for a second. Oh, okay, wait, I'm going to look this up. Oh, I've heard there's like humans that have adapted that they're like they have no eye they have like an eyelid thing

oh yeah water it's like they they grew up on boats and they can also hold their breath for a crazy amount of time or yeah well the aquatic ape hypothesis but there's that um

tribe that can see underwater hey we're almost oh yeah the mokin people also known as the sea nomads how mokin's children see let's check this out is it okay to have a BBC One show

yeah you're probably right we should probably take that out Maybe we'll just do... They can see underwater. I mean, I can open my eyes underwater. I'm not going to see great. But they can see clearly. Deep in the island archipelagoes on the Adman Sea and along the west coast, a thylane live a small tribe called the Mokin people, also known as the sea nomads.

Their children spend much of their day in the sea diving for food. They're uniquely adapted to this job because they can see underwater. And it turns out that with little practice, their unique vision might be accessible to any young person. person. Wow. So they're saying it's not, it's, it's, it's not, um, uh, nature. It's nurture that this can happen. Okay. So into the Mokin community. So they mostly lived on houses that sat on poles. When the tide came in, the Mokin children splashed around the water. So they say there's no evolutionary. But if you just start doing it enough at a young age, but then do eventually, do they grow out of it?

I don't know. But the Mokin children are able to do. So it actually has to do with your retinas. To see clearly above land, you need to be able to refract light that enters the eye onto the retina. The retina sits at the back of the eye and contains specialized cells, which convert the light signals into electrical signals that the brain interprets his images. Light is refracted when it enters the human eye, an internal lens. When the eyes immerse in water, which is the same density as the cornea, we lose the refractive power of the cornea.

The Mokin children were able to see twice as well as European children. They must have either picked up some adaptation that changed the way their eyes worked or had learned to use their eyes differently under water. But she said that European kids, when they try to do this, experience red eyes that are irritated by the salt water and that does not happen to the Mokin children. Yeah. So, oh. Basically, their Mokin children are able to make their pupils smaller and change their lens shape. Seals and dolphins. So because they were straining their eyes so much, it trained their eye to make their pupils smaller to see better. Okay. So that's wild. Oh, so it wasn't the same in the adult. the adults showed no unusual underwater vision or accommodation perhaps explaining why adults in the tribe caught most of their food by spearfishing above the surface as when we age our lenses become less flexible so it makes sense that the adults lose the ability to accommodate underwater okay I used to open my eyes up a lot underwater when I was younger I think yeah same here I used to do a lot more diving under peers and stuff I don't think I had mokin abilities but I definitely think I could see better than I could now.

Yeah. I think that same community of people is also known for being able to hold their breath for over five minutes. Yeah, that's just training. Yeah, like communities that do pearl diving, they can always. That's actually what Qatar used to be famous for before they found the oil was just pearl harvesting. It is so ridiculous that a country the size of Connecticut ended up with more oil, like with the one spot that is so oil rich. And, like, if you even look at, like, that the Saudis didn't invade them. Yep.

Or I think they were on the brink of trying or there was like, yeah. But, yeah, no, I've met a couple people from the U.S. who are living in Saudi now at the World Cup. And they said we're welcome to come out at some point. Huh. How long have we been going? Hour 46. Hour 46?

Yeah. Maybe we should wrap it up. Yeah. I hate to do it. I mean, it's coming up on 5 o'clock. Yeah, no, no. I got some. Let's do it.

To crush. Demon time. Yeah, it's demon time. Why don't you chug one beer on camera to end it? Let me go find a beer. Yeah. Oh, I saw some big deal brewings out there. Cors Light is our favorite beer.

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, no, true. That was a problem when we were out. at the World Cup. They only had Bud Zeros at the game. So PFT may have drank in a Bud Zero, but he did not want to. Yeah. He did not want to. He was looking for a Corps Zero. Was Budweiser the only other beer at the other places? No, at the other places you could find some other beers. I don't know if Coors is in Qatar yet.

Unfortunately not. Yeah. I just know like the country that wins the World Cup, like Budweiser. like giving giving like that country all the supply that was supposed to go to the same oh really yeah wow so that's a good uh publicity because i assume that guitar has reimbursed them all right cool yeah we can wrap it up all right thanks you guys for listening to extra dosing we're going to get another one soon and hopefully we're getting high on catnip catnip joints catnip joints all right thanks guys Thank you.
