Starting point is 00:00:00 Is this static I'm hearing just in the headphones? You hearing something? Yeah but it's gone now I think. Live? And we're live, and we're live, for happy motherfucking new year. Remember when we used to think that the world was gonna end? Well, I used to think that the world was gonna end in 2012. You even had the license plate. I did. I had a 2012 license plate.
Starting point is 00:00:28 I was convinced. I was like, those Mayans, man, they knew it. I thought it was real, for sure. The computer thing. Remember the Y2K? Yeah, I thought that too. Yeah. I stayed home for Y2K.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Paranoid. I was too. Clock rolled over. Planes falling from the sky. Yeah, everybody's worried about the whole grid shutting down, right? They wouldn't be able to get it up for months. People would run out of food. I was listening to Art Bell a lot back then. Oh, cheers.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Cheers. Happy New Year. Happy New Year, Jenna. Eight years of episodes. Eight years of episodes. 2018. 2018 doesn't sound like a real number. It's one of those numbers you say it and you go, yeah, I guess you're right. But 2018, that's way too close to 2020, which is like space. That's like the future.
Starting point is 00:01:18 It's like a movie. You know, like Alien. When you watch the first Alien, the one was Sigourney Weaver from the late 70s it was like 1979 what do you think the timeline was supposed to be it's probably 2001 you know because there's like a lot of movies like I think Blade Runner was something like 2017 or something like that I want to say I don't remember but I want to say Blade Runner was like 2030 or something like that. There was all the flying cars and shit, remember?
Starting point is 00:01:48 Weren't there? Flying cars, or am I thinking of Fifth Element? No, no, there was flying cars because I remember the cars going through the cool billboards and stuff. I confused my sci-fi movies a lot, like old ones. Blade Runner is 2019. 2019? Yeah. Oh my God, that's insane insane that's a year from now that's wow that's weird that shows how slow it actually is technology it thinks you think it's
Starting point is 00:02:15 fast it shows how bad movie writers are at guessing I don't think it shows anything else right so I think the guy who's been the best at predicting shit was like, wasn't H.G. Wells really good? I feel like H.G. Wells, the science fiction author from,
Starting point is 00:02:32 I think he was from the 1800s. H.G. Wells. But I think he predicted a lot of shit. Yeah. There's a couple articles about all the stuff
Starting point is 00:02:40 he predicted. Oh, really? Yeah. The many futuristic predictions of H.G. Wells that came true. All right, let's see what we got here. What did he do? Born 150 years ago.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Phones, email, and television. What? Is that real? In Men Like Gods in 1923, Wells invites readers to a futuristic utopia that's essentially earth after thousands of years of progress in this alternate reality people communicate exclusively with wireless systems that employ a kind of co-mingling of voicemail and email like properties holy shit for in utopia except by previous arrangement people do not talk together on the telephone, he writes. A message is sent to the station of the district in which the recipient is known to be, and there it waits until he chooses to tap his accumulated messages.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Whoa. And any that one wishes to repeat can be repeated. any that one wishes to repeat can be repeated. Then he talks back to the senders and dispatches any other messages he wishes. The transmission is wireless. How? How? What?
Starting point is 00:03:59 I'd like to know if he did drugs back then, like if he was doing mushrooms and. Yeah, man, I want to know. He also imagined forms of true entertainment. It says in When the Sleeper Wakes from 1899, the protagonist rouses from two centuries of slumber to a dystopian London in which citizens used wondrous forms of technology like the audio book, airplane and television, yet suffer systematic oppression and social injustice. What in the fuck, man? What the fuck, HG Wells? Lasers. Dude, how is he so good? It's probably mushrooms.
Starting point is 00:04:40 I mean, think of something that hasn't been invented in a hundred years now. What would you invent? Well, you know what? Here's our problem. I think it's almost impossible, once you know something exists, to imagine a world in which it didn't exist. See, you and I are unique because we're old as fuck. I'm older as fucker than you. But we remember when there was no internet.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I'm older as fucker than you but we remember when there was no internet I think we're the last of the people that are going to remember what life is like when there's no internet yeah and what's next what's the thing that hasn't been invented that we'll remember we saw the first of like
Starting point is 00:05:18 VR good question like having glasses always being well I think that magic leap shit that you know that you've seen that new headset that they are saying they're gonna eventually wind up selling. You have like a hip pack and you wear these goggles. Dude.
Starting point is 00:05:33 That seems like step one to me. Yeah. Apple's putting all their money in AR instead of VR for that reason, right? That's what this is, right? Mm-hmm. Dude, this looks like Blade Runner. Yeah. Maybe that movie's not so far off.
Starting point is 00:05:50 The one from Columbus, Ohio? Blade Runner. Oh. Like maybe they're only off by a year. Ready Player One. Ready Player One. Have you seen the preview for that? No. That's what pretty much this exact same thing is right here.
Starting point is 00:05:58 But this is the Microsoft one? What is the difference? This is Magic Leap. Ready Player One's a movie. So Magic Leap is not Microsoft. Which one's the Microsoft one? That would be HoloLens. Magic Leap. Ready Player One's movie. So Magic Leap is not Microsoft. Which one's the Microsoft one? That would be HoloLens. Magic Leap is the one that's in Florida. They went way away from everybody else so that they're not getting
Starting point is 00:06:12 their technology compromised by Spy. And these are the ones where they had that little dancer that dances on your hand? Oh, okay. So this is the really intense, lifelike, augmented reality one. Nobody knew what it was going to look like.
Starting point is 00:06:27 They thought any prototype had a big, giant backpack on, and they finally got it down to this little puck. This is the first time we're actually seeing. This also might not be the final version. It could be smaller. It could be a little bigger. Don't exactly know. Looks cool.
Starting point is 00:06:40 It looks very cool. It looks like superhero cool. Yeah. But the thing is, it's so obvious that you're wearing it. Yeah, they need to get rid of that part and integrate it into the headset. There's like this hip part,
Starting point is 00:06:53 like battery-packed. I don't think you're supposed to wear it in public. At least this. This is probably like a home work type thing. Like wherever you'd use a personal computer. I feel like we're looking at the seed of a future thing that's going to eat us. I'm looking at that.
Starting point is 00:07:09 I'm like, that is exactly how it starts. The electronics cling to the outside and become inseparable. And then slowly they work their way into the organism itself, to the inside. The organism will accept symbiosis as long as the electronics stay on the outside. But if it goes inside, like if the only way to use your cell phone was to stick it in your ass, right? That's the only way it works. We have a new cell phone and it works.
Starting point is 00:07:39 All you have to do is just stick it in your ass and then just carry it around with you and you make calls with your mind. And it's a flip. Yeah. We would say no way. And it's a flip. Yeah. We would say no way. We can't do it. But as long as the electronics are on the outside. Like, dude, they're going to give you a helmet.
Starting point is 00:07:53 The electronics are going to go right into your eyes. You're going to see some shit that's not there. You're like, okay. Wearable clothing tech is the future. I think Levi's and Microsoft or Google teamed up and they're trying to do a jacket, like a tech jacket, where you just look at your jacket and read text and stuff off the sleeve and stuff. Imagine
Starting point is 00:08:12 having a shirt and going like, today I want a purple shirt, today I want a blue shirt. Or you're getting text messages pop up on your shirt. Or if there's a lost child, the child's face is on everybody's shirt. Fuck. I think wearable clothing is going to be pretty big soon. Yeah, especially if you could get your arm, if it actually could open up where it looks like a screen.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Yeah. Or if it can get that good where there's no benefit. And nobody wants a cell phone with a shitty screen. Right. Right? Yeah. Because isn't that the big debate now? They all look amazing to me because I'm going blind. I can barely see.
Starting point is 00:08:53 But if I look at the iPhone X versus the Google Pixel 2 XL, they all look really good. Yeah. It's more like brightness now to me. It's like, oh, this one seems brighter. I guess. They all look really good. They all look amazing. I mean, we're really nitpicking all look really good. Yeah, it's more like brightness now to me. It's like, oh, this one seems brighter. I guess. They all look really good. They all look amazing. I mean, we're really nitpicking, which is good.
Starting point is 00:09:10 It just shows you how good things are. But could you ever reproduce that on your sleeve? Yeah. They already have. That perfect? Well, like the technology is not 100% there, but they already have bendable LCDs, right? And like stuff like that. But the thing is having it feel like clothing instead of like
Starting point is 00:09:25 this big chunk that's on your shirt like those things you see at the mall but I like I had this I was talking to Gino of Speedweed about this and the idea of having a hat imagine a hat where you can have any logo you want on your hat you could change it any day and then you could also have it so it just moves or something like if it's the nike swoosh you see like the smoke coming out of the you know how cool would that be just and it's weird that we don't see that as a normal thing yet because it seems like that's already there you could do that hat right now probably have a little 3g connection so you can download things on it you know using the little thing on the top of the hat. Yeah, you probably could. Button.
Starting point is 00:10:06 You probably could. I mean, anything that you can imagine in the future is probably going to be possible. Like anything. Anything you can imagine. I don't think there's going to be a time in our lifetime where change is going to happen as quickly as it's happening now. What about shoes? Where you could just have, like, instead of walking, your shoes just roll. You know, like, kind of like glide.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Yeah. Well, isn't that what I was always goofing around about the aliens? That what aliens are is what we imagine is us in the future. And maybe that's what they really are. Maybe they're time travelers. Because if you had to think like. If you go back and look at ancient. Like Australopithecus.
Starting point is 00:10:54 You ever see like a depiction of Australopithecus? It's like this weird sort of half human monkey things. Like one of the first people. And if you go back and look at that. And then you look at a regular person today that maybe you know it takes a spin class you know go see if they go to the one where he's standing up there's some pictures of what they think they would have looked like it's weird because there is people that look kind of like these people you sure yeah you'll see him once more some people
Starting point is 00:11:21 that are pretty hairy too I mean they think there's there's all sorts of different kinds of people, too. That's another thing that we forget. There was a bunch of different kinds of people that died off. But the idea is all these people, right, all these different kinds of little people, they eventually evolve to be human, right? If they stay alive, they get to a point a point well what happens if you pass the human thing do you just stop at human i don't think you could stop at human when this is not perfect this is not perfect this is better it's better than you know killing each other with rocks
Starting point is 00:11:58 in the trees it's better than that but it's definitely we're getting better at this it's obvious we're getting better at being people collectively so like where does it go does it go to we just move everything with our brains and our heads are that big robots and we fuck up the environment so bad that we need sunglasses permanently on the outside and that's what those alien the black eyes that we just fixed it we just give you a fake lens your Your skin's like bulletproof. You move everything with your brain. Nobody needs a mouth anymore. No sex organs.
Starting point is 00:12:31 It got too complicated. Gender. This is the year. Like, this is, the machines confused us. And got us to the point where they could deliver orgasms through like little injections in the back of your brain. You just get way more intense orgasms than you would ever get jerking off or having sex. And so everybody just stopped having sex. And our dicks and vaginas just sealed up. We figured out food to the point where there's no more waste.
Starting point is 00:13:03 So no one has to shit. We just nailed it. That's perfect balance. No one's ever overweight. That's how they have sex in Demolition Man. They put those headsets on and sit across from each other. Oh, yeah. They had their feet in the water.
Starting point is 00:13:15 And he's like. Is that water? No, that's not water. It looks like water. That's where the girl drips into. That's so strange. That's how they had sex. You know, that's probably going to be better.
Starting point is 00:13:28 We gave it this physical thing. We gave it a shot. It's too complicated. The food thing makes the most sense because we are probably going to run out of food. And having, like, the future of food is going to be really weird. Where it's just going to be, like, almost like a brick. Like a vitamin. Well, there's my steak.
Starting point is 00:13:44 You know, there's... Yeah, man, right? The future of food. Like, when they're, you know, there was some article real recent, like, I think maybe even today, that was talking about their progress in synthetic meat. To be able to just make meat in a laboratory.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Which is, whew, that's a game changer. Don't they already have it where you can buy it now? I feel like – Yeah, I was going to bring this up the other day when you talked about it. Fatburger has the Impossible Burger. Oh, but that's a plant-based meat. Yeah. That's not – but that's different. They're not lab-based.
Starting point is 00:14:20 No, no, no. That's – they've had those for a while. They're not lab-based. No, no, no. They've had those for a while. People who are vegan, who used to like cheeseburgers, apparently say that this works. Yeah. That you can literally... Look, there's some smart people out there.
Starting point is 00:14:36 They figure out a way to make things taste different than what they really are. There's a bunch of vegan cheeses and shit that are really good. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about lab created meat, actual meat that there somehow or another, they have some cloning process or something. Yeah. I saw something about it the other day and where it's,
Starting point is 00:14:56 they're pretty much there if not completed with it. I don't know. That's if they can do that, that's fine. I would, if it tastes the same, I would go with can do that, that's fine. If it tastes the same, I would go with lab-created meat. Lab-created meat. It's probably better for you. I'm just imagining, like, you know what I'm imagining?
Starting point is 00:15:20 Power outage. A warehouse filled with lab created meat stuck in the pipes what do you think the expiration date is on a lab created meat forever they just engineer it with the right bacteria so it could stay on the shelf indefinitely
Starting point is 00:15:38 I remember making a mistake that the first time the grocery store had these things called I don't complete meals I don't know what the fuck it's called but there there's like meat, like biscuits and gravy, but not in the cold section, not in the hot section. And you barely had to heat it up. It was just like kind of ready to go meals. Me and my friend ate it. I think we both got sick as fuck.
Starting point is 00:15:57 It's so disgusting. But, I mean, they're still out there. This was seven years ago. It's like those little meals for kids that aren't really food. Lunchables? Lunchables. Those things are the worst for people. That's not even food.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Yeah, those little cheese things you stick a cracker in? Yeah. Ugh. Yeah. Ugh. Those are so gross. Some of them. Somebody must have a good one by now.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Good little, like, Starbucks has, like, a decent little snack pack, right? Don't they have one with, like, celery and beets and shit? Sure. Yeah, they have all this stuff. Starbucks is pretty good. AMC Movie Theaters has waffles and chicken now. Did you know that? That's amazing. But I think
Starting point is 00:16:42 the healthy option thing is because people demand it. Why wouldn't they have it? It's like there's money in it. If you go to Starbucks, sometimes if you're trying to not take in too much sugar or something like that, you look at all that stuff and you're like, God damn it. There's got to be something here for me. What's here for me?
Starting point is 00:16:58 Like you got all your tasty eyesight options, right? Like those cake pops. Like, damn, I might just go off the reservation and get a fucking cake pop. Right? It's like weird. Like, they're really, they're selling sugar just as much as they're selling coffee, which is great. Have you had the Bantam bagels? The bagel balls?
Starting point is 00:17:17 I heard they're amazing. Oh, my God. I heard they're amazing. I used to like their chocolate croissants. amazing they i used to like their chocolate croissants but then i found um the coffee beans chocolate croissants to be more delectable so if i was going to go off i go to the coffee bean i don't mess with that i don't mess with starbucks you have a relationship with starbucks it's it's just right next door every time i get a coffee bean, though, when you get used to a certain taste of coffee,
Starting point is 00:17:47 even if the coffee's better, it's really hard to go, like, that's not an iced coffee. In my head, an iced coffee is Starbucks iced coffee. This is just like
Starting point is 00:17:54 some other bullshit. Like, I went to Denny's the other day. Maybe the best coffee I've had in a long time. And you can't buy that anywhere. You have to go to Denny's. Really?
Starting point is 00:18:03 Yeah. They don't sell you Denny's coffee? No, I was looking for a K-cup for it. You know, they're little Keurig's cups, but you can't buy that anywhere. You have to go to Denny's. Really? Yeah. They don't sell Denny's coffee? No, I was looking for a K-cup for it. You know, the little Keurig cups. Denny's is, that's probably like the biggest breakfast chain ever, right? Yeah. It's got to be.
Starting point is 00:18:18 It's like IHOP and Denny's. Those are the two. You could have, there's like a standard. There's a balance between how delicious it is how cheap it is you got to be real careful with that balance you know like it's a different concept than a regular restaurant like a regular restaurant but it is a regular restaurant right i mean ihop's a fucking regular restaurant i had a burger there the other day but even if you eat there you're like even if you eat healthy there you're like, even if you eat healthy there, you're like, I fucked up
Starting point is 00:18:46 and went to IHOP. Right. Because everything is so delicious. You're looking at whipped cream on top of shit and a menu and those maraschino cherries and you're like, oh Jesus, this is at IHOP? And then you have that row of syrup already on your table. Like, I think I want to
Starting point is 00:19:01 add blueberry taste to it. If you're gonna just go off, IHOP's the spot to go off. Did you see the story? Yeah. South Carolina man hilariously cooks himself breakfast at Waffle House while employee sleeps. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:19:16 That's funny. He's taking pictures of the whole thing. Yeah, he's taking pictures. The guy is just asleep in the corner. Oh, my God. That is hilarious. That is hilarious. Oh, oh my god is that illegal could those guys get in trouble for that i mean taking the pictures and incriminating yourself
Starting point is 00:19:33 probably not the smartest move and putting them online but probably not um that's a good question it's like a no harm no foul kind of thing i think no harm no foul who got hurt in the situation i wonder if he put money down, though. He said he came back. It says he came back the next day and gave a $5 tip. Wow. One employee working Waffle House. What if like 10 people walk in?
Starting point is 00:19:58 20 people walk in? That seems weird. That seems ridiculous. I hate Waffle House. Waffle House is amazing. You like Waffle House? Yeah, it's so good. That seems ridiculous. I hate Waffle House. Waffle Houses are amazing. You like Waffle House? Yeah, man. If you're on the road, it's like 3 o'clock in the morning.
Starting point is 00:20:11 They're like the greatest things that have ever existed. If you're on the road, like, let's pick up some weird spot in South Carolina or something like that. That's exactly where this was. Ooh. West Columbia. West Col- See? Jesus. That was just a straight up guess all the waffle houses in ohio are like connected to strip clubs so i always
Starting point is 00:20:32 considered it being like gross food because i don't know yeah man i we've probably been about 10 of those on the road yeah they're always like a good option. It's also 24 hours, so. Yeah, that's right. That's why it's so crazy. That's why it gets weird. Waffle houses get weird. 3 a.m. New Year's Eve waffle house.
Starting point is 00:20:57 All it takes is one crazy person to walk in. Guy Fiera just had to close his restaurant. You say that with glee. Why do you do that? I didn't say that. No. He's a Columbus, Ohio native. Is he? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:13 You gotta support your own. No, I'm just saying that that went fast. Guy Fieri is a funny guy. I like how he wears sunglasses backwards on their neck. What I don't get with him is why so many people get... I guess they don't like that he spikes his hair.
Starting point is 00:21:36 What is it that they don't like? I think it's just an easy target. I don't know if they don't like him. I mean, he seems nice. I met him once. He was nice. I don't care if he likes to wear his hair like that. It's like a Don King thing.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Am I mad at Don King? He can't change his look. That's what he's known for. Is it racist if a white guy with blonde hair spikes his hair up and people just automatically assume you're a douche? Is that racist? It's like a Nickelback thing. Like, people don't really hate them. I mean, they probably do a little bit, but.
Starting point is 00:22:02 I wear my hair like that sometimes. Billy Corgan, I don't know if he was trolling or not. I don't think he was. He was talking to me about how good he thinks Nickelback is. Oh. I think Nickelback has some fucking good songs. I do.
Starting point is 00:22:17 I know the first... the main problem people had back in the day. Fuck you, man. Listen, I enjoy the way that Rockstar song sounds. I know that's sort of a song that's been covered. You know, like that style of song has been covered a few times, right? But I like that one. I mean, I like the Cypress Hill one better.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Remember? So if you want to be a rock star, you know, it's the same thing. It's the same thing. It's the same thing. It's like there's a style of song of like describing what it's the lifestyle of a rock star. So the only problem with the Nickelback song is that it had been done before.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Because if it hadn't been done before, they did a really job covering that subject like their their take on it was was good it was very polished maybe too polished for some people we like shit raw we like to hear that janice joplin growl right we like to hear amy winehouse there's something we like about that raw shit just to remind us remind us you're just like us that's the problem i think some musicians have with nickelback is they're sort of considered at least they were and what's called like an in the box type of band at least for recording purposes aren't they canadian yeah that's it that's all it
Starting point is 00:23:42 is that adds to it's all it is yeah can. Canadians are so nice, you don't believe them. They would record no effects on their sounds, on their guitar. For instance, no distortion, no delay. They would record literally putting the guitar right into this board, kind of, and it records this real weird electronic sound that you can manipulate completely in Pro Tools later, changing everything about it. And they were like one of the first bands that got popular doing that, I think. And so that's sort of like, I'm sure traditional musicians
Starting point is 00:24:11 had a big problem with it. Isn't Nickelback the band that every single one of their songs sound exactly the same, like whiny? That guy? That's Nickelback, right? It's not whiny. I wouldn't say whiny. I'd say it's poppy.
Starting point is 00:24:25 It's like very good pop music I mean I'm trying to be nice here I don't I like a lot of their songs but I'm trying to be nice here
Starting point is 00:24:37 like I understand if people would get upset that it's not their style of music you know it's people that like like real they'll play something for you like they'll play the Beatles like that it's not their style of music. You know, it's people that like, they'll play something for you.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Like they'll play the Beatles. Like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. You put on some headphones and listen to Lucy. Smoke a joint, put on some headphones and listen to a song that was created by the first wave of British superstars that came to America. And they're on acid. And they're saying it about Lucy in the sky with diamonds. And it's amazing.
Starting point is 00:25:16 It's amazing. Do that. Right now? You want us to do it Right now? Do you want us to do it right now? Just think. I want to think about this for a second. Just imagine. Imagine what it was like back then.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Imagine. Imagine being in like 1960, whatever the fuck it was, when all this was going on. What are you playing in the background? Oh, it takes forever. I thought I was going crazy. I was listening to Led Zeppelin came on last night and I forgot. I don't know how to say the word. Dear dire maker. How do you say that song?
Starting point is 00:26:07 Yeah. It's a bad-ass song. I forgot. Oh, dude, there's so many good songs. There's so many good songs. Now this is the thing.
Starting point is 00:26:16 These songs are better. They're better than Nickelback, but it's not, but Nickelback's not bad. It's not that it's just, if you want to compare jimmy hendrix to the rest of the world the rest of the world's gonna suck a fat dick there's there's a guy that knew how to do it better than everybody else doesn't mean that it doesn't mean eric
Starting point is 00:26:37 clapton wasn't an amazing guitarist it means everybody always looks at jimmy hendrix in a better way for whatever reason man man, for whatever reason. You know, I'm sure there's people that would see it the opposite way. Doesn't mean Nickelback sucks. They're better than your band, bro. Like they just weren't the Beatles, you know? Yeah, but that's like a, I guess there's a different category between like, you know, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Nickelback, right? Maybe, maybe there is, but maybe guess there's a different category between the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Nickelback, right? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Maybe there is. But maybe we should just relax. I mean, I'll take two Smash Mouths over Nickelback. I'm just saying maybe we should just relax about everything. I think we're looking for tribal enemies that don't exist. You know, just because you like to eat falafels and extra ketchup on your fries and I don't, or you like to go running and I like to take naps, who cares? This is my perspective in 2018. I think the more we can relax that, we will have less conflict, interpersonal conflict, which often fuels extra personal conflict.
Starting point is 00:27:45 This is 2018. Let it go. You can like Nickelback. I told somebody that I like Ellie King, and they gave me a sidewards face. I'm like, fuck you. I don't even know who that is. You know who that is? No.
Starting point is 00:28:01 You ever heard that song X's and O's? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, she's badass. X's and O's? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Dude, she's badass. X's and O's. Her whole album is badass. What is that album called? Do you call it an album anymore? Because it used to be a CD.
Starting point is 00:28:13 It was an album, and then you were an old man if you were calling it an album. It's a CD, bro. Then it stopped being a CD, and it became an album again. I downloaded it. I just said I downloaded it. Right, but what do you say? Do you say it's an album? I still say CD. I just said I downloaded it. Right, but what do you say? Do you say it's an album? I still say CD, I think.
Starting point is 00:28:28 I don't think I do album. I mean, album. Do you remember when people would mock you if you said album? Because they'd be like, you mean CD? It's just CD now. You call it a CD. Like, oh, okay, okay. That was like a phase where people got cunty about the distinctions between CDs and albums.
Starting point is 00:28:45 And then all of a sudden vinyl made a little comeback during the CD era. People decided that vinyl was, how would you describe it, Jamie? What's the, what's the difference between the sound? Oh, it's warmer.
Starting point is 00:28:56 It's got a nice warm sound. That's right. You always say warmer. Yeah. Vinyl is huge now. Yeah, it's still big. Like I went to a vinyl store the other day that was like being in a record store in the 70s like i was it was all vinyl well people are digging it man they they
Starting point is 00:29:09 get into it it's a tactile relationship with the music that's what henry rollins was explaining to me and the way he describes it it's really intoxicating because he's such an an addict to that kind of music and he has a whole setup in his house with these crazy speakers that are like stupid expensive. And he has this amazing record collection and he'll just sit there and play his records. And he does a radio show.
Starting point is 00:29:34 I believe it's once a week. Is it once a week? I think so, yeah. He does a radio show once a week where he picks the songs and he plays the music. It's all his selections. What is it on KCRW?
Starting point is 00:29:49 Here's his crazy speakers. Yeah, so he's got these fucking nutty-ass speakers, man. Look at these things. And he stands in front of these things. I really enjoyed talking to him, man. He's a uniquely unusual person. I always thought he was like I would I'm gonna be completely honest when he was a young guy and he
Starting point is 00:30:13 did that Beavis and Butthead thing liar do you remember that he Beavis and Butthead it was hilarious dude he had an amazing song called I'm a liar you ever seen Rollins? You don't know that song it was like one of his breakout hit songs as a connect remember that he was super jacked That was in his full-on power lifting days. Yes, and I remember seeing him going this guy is like way too intense How is this a fucking singer in a band that guy looks like he wants to rip your fucking head clean off your body and just pull your guts through your neck hole. He looked so crazy scary. And I could never figure it out.
Starting point is 00:30:55 I was like, that's so weird that this guy is a singer. In my mind, a singer had to be a certain type of person. They had to be a Jon Bon Jovi or they had to be Robert Plant. There was a style that you could be a singer had to be a certain type of person. They had to be a Jon Bon Jovi or they had to be Robert Plant. There was a style that you could be a singer. And he was just this completely new, weird thing, this jacked up power lifter covered in tattoos. I was like, whoa. But when you meet him,
Starting point is 00:31:18 I mean, maybe it's because I'm meeting him later in his life when he's mellowed and matured, but he is one of the most fascinating guys I've ever talked to. One of the most absolutely unique individuals. Like, oh, I never met one of you. The guy is obsessed with productivity and work and creating. Obsessed with it. His writing, he writes for a bunch of different publications.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Constantly writing. Constantly traveling. Goes to places. Just gets on a bunch of different publications. Constantly writing. Constantly traveling. Goes to places. Just gets on a plane. Flies over to that spot. Lands. Buys water. And starts fucking meeting people.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Doesn't know where the fuck he is. Just puts himself in these weird positions. And some of them like super dangerous. Fascinating guy, man. Never met a guy like him. I heard him on Ari's podcast one of the one of the main um podcasts that he did with that really like fucking blew my mind was him describing all this travel that he does on Ari's show because you know Ari's a travel nut too so the two of
Starting point is 00:32:20 them together it's like wow I think he probably was one of the inspirations, or at least helped fuel the inspiration that Ari had when Ari took off for like four months. I didn't know he was on Ari's podcast. That's a good catch for Ari. It's an amazing episode. I believe they were in Edinburgh. I believe they were there for the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh.
Starting point is 00:32:44 And I think that Ari was performing, and he's going to get mad. I know he told me this story and I don't remember it. You hear a lot of stories, though. I heard too many. Somehow or another, someone set it up. But it's a great podcast, nonetheless, however it transpired. But Henry Rollins is... Here it is.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Not all those who wander are lost. That's exactly what the name is. Skeptic Tank 277. Yeah. It's an awesome podcast. I mean, like a life changer. Like you listen to that podcast and his... What he gets out of travel, you go,
Starting point is 00:33:20 Oh, yeah, why wasn't I looking at it that way? Like, why was I just going to places going, can you drink the water? Is this safe? Like, is this okay? Whereas he's going over there going, what do you do, man? What's going on? Like, what are you people up to? He's, like, really, like, going into uncharted territories all the time on a regular basis.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Picks a spot in the map, just goes. Like, that's one of the things that i've always said about ari i like people who just go for it you know like ari shafir just goes for it takes it he goes away for like four months he just vanishes he goes for it with how he does comedy you know i'm gonna go do comedy in china you know he just goes for it it would be funny if when he vanishes that he actually has another life that he doesn't tell anybody about like a family kids gay husband didn't he have an entire another life when you guys did a podcast together and Ari did Salvia on your podcast yeah and he the way he described it is like he, I'm not conflating these, right?
Starting point is 00:34:27 This is, am I confusing this? This is when. It was the same, he did it on your podcast. Yeah. And then this was the Salvia trip where he said that he lived like a whole life for like three months. And there was something with water in a bus or something like that. Well, there was, he, I'm sure he's described it somewhere. Yeah, I'll find out.
Starting point is 00:34:45 It's actually on a Reddit AMA, I think. He felt like he had lived a whole life, like for months, a whole different life for months, and then came back from that trip like it just happened. He realized, oh my God, no, I just took salvia. They really got rid of salvia fast, didn't they? Remember when that was legal, you just buy it online, and then within like a year,
Starting point is 00:35:12 they just kind of took care of salvia. What is the distinction legally for salvia now? I don't know. What's the scheduling? They went fast on that. Legal marijuana. But dude, salvia is way stronger than marijuana. Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 00:35:25 This is what people didn't know. People were going to their pot dealers, and they're trying to, you know, get some good weed. You want to have a good experience. Salvia used to be for sale at head shops everywhere. And it was one of the most blow-out-of-your-fucking-mind psychedelics you could ever encounter. I can't buy it still right now. You still buy it? I used to buy it times 80 concentrated.
Starting point is 00:35:52 120x right here. 120x? Oh, Jesus. It's even stronger now. Oh, my God. How is it still legal? Oh, my God. I bet it's not legal.
Starting point is 00:36:00 I wonder if it shows what states they will ship to, or if you try to buy it, it tells you, like, hey, this is illegal. It says it's legal in most parts of the world and in the United States. Here's the big problem with all these things. I think all these things could be handled way better than they have been, so people are going buck wild with them. Whether it's mushrooms or whether it's LSD or anything, mushrooms or whether it's lsd or anything people left these important compounds in the hands of people that were willing to take them illegally and that's where most of our data is coming from because they couldn't do any tests on anything everything was just schedule one schedule one
Starting point is 00:36:38 but the people that tested it or they're all people willing to take mushrooms. It's a lot of people that would just white-knuckle that shit to death. Me included at various times in my life. You tried to bring me mushrooms, I'd white-knuckle myself to death. So it was the people, the only sampling size that we have from the benefits, the people that were wild enough to do it. Like, what if we had actual scientists studying this shit, going, hey, maybe if we took this stuff in low doses,
Starting point is 00:37:08 we could evolve quicker. This really might be something. There might be something legitimate to the idea that stoned ape theory is that humans discovered psilocybin mushrooms, and that's why the brain grew double its size over a period of two million years. That's the theory, I think, right? Mushrooms could have totally been in that mix, with all the other other stuff too. All the other stuff, the throwing arm hunting is a film on the Naughty Show podcast from an old death squad studio. Oh, it said what happened was I took a
Starting point is 00:37:36 hit of salvia, but I didn't quite take a big enough hit or I didn't hold it long enough. So it took me right to the edge of disappearing into my mind, but it didn't quite get me through the barrier. So I took another hit. This time the hit was as big as I could possibly muster. It was massive. And I held it for a really long time. That hit alone would have been enough to make me obliterate my consciousness. But that hit, coupled with the one from before that got me almost there,
Starting point is 00:38:08 put me in another place. I was in a lake in the backyard of my childhood home, but I wasn't me swimming there. I was a new being who lived underwater, who took me a little bit of time to learn how to breathe water, but then I learned. And I was there for a while. I mean, like, months at least. I estimate I was there anywhere from four months to two years. I made friends. I had a life. All underwater.
Starting point is 00:38:37 At some point in my new life, I saw Sam Tripoli at the store at the shore of the lake, so I swam up to him to investigate. Parenthesis, he was just sitting in the chair across from me in reality. That's when they started pulling me back into this existence. But what they didn't know
Starting point is 00:38:55 was that I couldn't breathe air anymore. I'd forgotten how after breathing underwater for so long. I had to relearn the experience of breathing. And he says, man, that was a good trip. It looked hellish if you watched the video, but what's important to understand is that the hellish
Starting point is 00:39:14 part was not me wanting to leave my friend's family and life in the lake. It was just adjusting back to this reality that hurt. But the months or years I was living there were some of the most beautiful and peaceful of my life. Oh, shit. Ari's brain broke.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Now we should look at the video and imagine that he lived there for four years. It's totally different when he's... Now I feel bad for getting him into drugs. Look, now here's what the four years he went through. You're allowed to play audio. He's a little blanky and he's snuggling. He's still holding it. I think he's sleeping or he's dead.
Starting point is 00:39:52 So this is a video that we're watching that all took place in Brian's apartment. I think he's dead. Did he just die? Somebody give me his fucking phone. Did he die? Like, shh. Stop. Oh, my God. You had to shush people
Starting point is 00:40:07 Well it's like He was tripping hard I didn't want him to like Freak out You're right Good call Sam Tripoli Shut your mouth
Starting point is 00:40:13 Who else was there? Tripoli and who else? Tripoli, Jason Tebow Allison And uh Matty Kirsch maybe? Oh what a great time to trip All those people staring at you
Starting point is 00:40:22 Talking mad shit While you're Blowing out of your mind into another dimension Wow Long so I think probably people because this is this is something you got it It only works visually, but if you see it visually, it's fascinating. So it's Ari Shafir on Salvia, and it's on Brian's. Is it on yours, or it's on?
Starting point is 00:40:50 Yeah, it's on mine. So on Red Band's YouTube page, Ari Shafir on Salvia. Poor Ari. Salvia is why I never did DMT because I had too many, like, okay, I'm too old for this. I'm going to break my brain moments that I'm like okay I'm too old for this I might break my brain moments that I'm like I don't need to do anymore yeah there's something there's some weird weird drugs out there we're really really weird ones and part
Starting point is 00:41:14 of the problem with like legal definitions for what what is and isn't legal is like it's it's kind of weird and blurry like there was some stuff called 5me o dimethyltryptamine which is the most potent form of DMT. And up until the year 2000, you'd be able to order it online. They would just send it to you. It's legal. It just says not for human consumption. I don't know what you're doing with it, but here it is.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Pure. And you'd be able to get enough to blast yourself in the universe every day of your life until you're dead for like 50 bucks it was crazy it was crazy it was the Wild West because people didn't know what it was yet because they had made a distinction that nn dimethyltryptamine which is the one that gives you all the visual hallucinations that that that was more illegal. That was a Schedule I drug. But they had listed five methoxydimethyltryptamines.
Starting point is 00:42:14 It was just in this weird state of limbo. Salvia, they just missed it. What? That stuff? Get the fuck out of here. I can't believe it's still legal. Dude, there's probably a shitload of those in the Amazon. There's probably a shitload of things that have never been discovered.
Starting point is 00:42:31 You eat some fruit and you fucking go blast off into the center of the universe. I bet if we could allow... If we all decided, all right, we're going to leave. Let's have humans live everywhere except one really big spot. No people can live in this one really big spot. We got to manage like other kind of ecosystems in a more hands off sort of a way because we're just so deep, except for like the Congo and places like that. But if there was like one country where everybody agreed, all right, let's just leave this leave the spot alone. No one go in there.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Let's see what happens. Let's see how nature evolves while we observe it with modern methods. Just like step back for a few hundred years. Just as a human project. Let's see what kind of shit grows in there. If you just leave it alone. Because we're so fucking snippy snippy. Let me get in there and let me dig.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Let me fucking cut these down and I'll plant new ones. Don't worry about it, bro. I'm going to plant new ones. Dude, I got this. I cut down the forest. I put some new ones in. Not saying that I'm not hypocritical sitting here in front of a wood desk. You know, I'm not saying don't do it.
Starting point is 00:43:39 But, I mean, think of how weird that is. If we could just leave all that shit alone, who knows what kind of weird symbiotic relationships we could have had with plants. That might have easily been how they came up with ayahuasca in the first place. They're probably eating a bunch of weird fucking plants and all those plants,
Starting point is 00:44:01 we're talking with all those other plants, and they're like, listen, I know, I know a way we can get this shit bumping way quicker. We got to get these monkey people to figure out how to eat these mushrooms and turn into regular people. Imagine, imagine if that's really what it was all along, just grasses and leaves communicating to us through some nonverbal language and and giving us this idea of how to do certain things and all these things are all just designed to get us to eat the mushrooms we eat the mushrooms get to the point where we accelerate to the point we have enough brain power and enough people combined interacting with each other and sharing information that we can build artificial life and then that becomes the new thing or along the way we become the aliens we figure out how to
Starting point is 00:44:54 use that crisper technology crisper technology you know what that is yeah it's some new thing i've brought up on the podcast a lot so if you've heard it before i apologize but it's some new thing I brought up on the podcast a lot. So if you've heard it before, I apologize. But it's some sort of a, I'm going to butcher the definition again. It's some sort of a genetic altering system that they're creating. A gene changing system where they can do things to the human body, potentially, where they can alter genetics. They can alter DNA. It's very complicated, and I'm doing a terrible job describing it.
Starting point is 00:45:29 What it is, essentially, for a dumb person like me, really super smart people have figured out a way to change biology. They might be able to turn genes on and off, like for autism, for Alzheimer's, like weird genes that create birth defects or various illnesses that we've we've been able to figure out how to target they might that we identify
Starting point is 00:45:53 rather they might be able to target those things they'll shut things off turn things on and i think there was an article really recently saying that the original CRISPR is now even out of date. And the new one is far superior. They're just getting better at it. They shot some shit into some dude. There was a guy who had a disease. And it was, I believe it was an incurable disease. He was the first human recipient of CRISPR technology.
Starting point is 00:46:23 That's like seeing a science fiction movie, right? You hear about the first guy that gave it a chance? CRISPR 2.0 is here and it's way more precise. See if you could find the article about the guy that was the first human recipient
Starting point is 00:46:37 for CRISPR. Why is it spelled like that? Like a 14-year-old emo kid wrote it in the basement. There's no E. It's just C-R-I-S-P-year-old emo kid wrote it in the basement. There's no E. It's just C-R-I-S-P-R. I think they wanted it to be catchy. And I think it's also, what is that, an acronym?
Starting point is 00:46:52 It's an acronym, right? Yeah. I always fuck up acronym and the other one. Like, what's the D-E-A? It's an acronym. That's an acronym? Yeah. I thought it was an acronym when you said it.
Starting point is 00:47:03 When it could become as a word? Yes. I don't think it matters. Like NIST. Right? NASA. Like you say NASA. You don't say the N-A-S-A.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Right? So what's the difference between those? I think NASA isn't. Is that? I'm so dumb. Now that's just weird knowledge. An abbreviated form of the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word as a word okay so NASA would be
Starting point is 00:47:31 an acronym so I was right I was super nervous I am oh I've always been insecure about those kind of things like that you probably should know like what an acronym is. I don't know any of that shit anymore. How do you even remember that? You're just talking about something I saw or was reminding me of something. I saw on Planet Earth 2 this weekend. It just came on Netflix. That's so good.
Starting point is 00:47:54 There's this island that only birds can get onto, and on this island is a tree that has these seeds that are sticky seeds, so they get stuck onto the birds and when the birds travel from island to island they kind of drop them off or whatever. But also, the seeds can kind of trap the birds there and they can end up... No, I just had it right there.
Starting point is 00:48:15 They can die because too many of them get stuck. The birds get stuck and then they end up falling onto the ground and then get absorbed into the ground and eaten. The plants sort of eat them if you will yo it's kind of crazy whoa okay but here's the thing is that coincidence is this just like dumb luck evolution i suppose yeah i think that's yeah it's the dead birds maybe evolution is like a word that's so under fire with a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Maybe it's because the ramifications of it. That we're not even going to be the final thing. It's going to be something way past us. Where did Darwin go? That's how we found out about Darwin's... Galapagos? The Galapagos Islands is where he went the first time. Imagine going there for the first time
Starting point is 00:49:03 and seeing all sorts of crazy mini... You know what's really fucked up? People have gone there, and they go there with shit in their shoes, and seeds from their shoes get into the Galapagos Island, and non-native plants start growing. And they identify that it comes literally from people walking through fields near their house and wherever the fuck they live, and then going to the Galapagos and walking around.
Starting point is 00:49:24 near their house and wherever the fuck they live and then going to the galapagos and walking around and that island is so it's been so isolated that it's this like delicate immune system that they have to monitor just the crack in your shoe could have a seed in it yeah you know there's a lot of those islands i heard the craziest story it's a story about goats that these pirates was it pirates i might have made that part up but these old sailors these old sailors used to uh used to bring goats to islands and they would let the goats off so the goats could populate the island and then they would have things to eat when they would come back because goats eat everything goats are savage goats and sailors diet during the golden age of piracy okay i didn't make it up see i'm so paranoid so paranoid being stupid funny though if you but it's true so they would uh show up they would put these uh goats they would bring boatloads of goats and just leave them on an
Starting point is 00:50:22 island and they would say next time we're around this area, we got food. Just go to these stupid fucking goats. They eat everything. They eat everything. But that's the thing, man. They eat fucking everything. They devastate ecosystems. I had a friend who had goats.
Starting point is 00:50:36 He had goats. He has this really sweet ranch. And he had goats. He's like, oh, just have goats. They'll trim up the lawn and it'll be great. The fuck they do. They eat everything. Everything. They just eat, man. You just leave shit out. They eat that and eat everything else
Starting point is 00:50:49 too. They roses, they eat all your vegetables. There's not a tree that's growing. They're eating everything. They just go through a hillside. People use them. They have like, like services where companies have trained goats and they bring them to your farm or wherever the fuck you're on they just let these goats loot and it just like eats everything they just they shit all over the place they eat all over the place and they just keep going they're hilarious though yeah so but they so they had a problem with these goats on one of these pristine islands there's too many of them so what they did is they um took one of them and they put a collar on them so they could always locate him they uh captured him
Starting point is 00:51:33 and i think they they snipped him they gave him a little vasectomy so he couldn't make any more goats and then goats always flock to other goats so what they would do is this one guy with the collar they would use him to locate the with the collar they would use him to locate the other goats then they would gun them all down from the sky so they would fly over and they're like yep there they are we found them gunned down all these fucking vegetable eating goats that had invaded this island it's a it's a crazy podcast i i, I'm trying to remember the name of it. It was on Radiolab, which isn't even a sponsor, but I bring it up three times a month. It's called Galapagos. It's just called Galapagos?
Starting point is 00:52:15 Yeah, so it is about that very island. It's about Galapagos, and it's about these goats that they just decided at a certain point in time, you have to control the populations of them or they're gonna devastate everything else There's a massive imbalance somebody fucked up. They brought goats to a place where there's no predators Like goats are supposed to be around like lions and shit You know they're not supposed to be just by themselves just eating everything and going off. It'd be fun to watch him do it Yeah It would be fun. Did you hear about that youtuber what he's going through logan paul
Starting point is 00:52:46 i did read that yeah he he filmed someone who had committed suicide in japan and he put it on his youtube channel yeah there i guess there's this forest at the the bottom of a volcano or something and it's called suicide forest or it's nicknamed suicide forest because everyone just goes there to commit suicide yeah he was going there supposedly to film how it's haunted and then they find a body and it's pretty gross how he you know how the video was he kind of joked about it he used humor jammy told me that the thumbnail had him like posing with the guy you know in the background and You know, he's, I don't know anything about him, but I know he's a YouTube guy. Right. And he's doing stuff that he thinks is interesting and provocative, you know.
Starting point is 00:53:33 And for whatever reason, the dialogue that I had read was something to the likes of that he had done it to bring, he apologized for it, which seemed, obviously felt terrible about the way people viewed it. But that he said that, how did he describe it? He was trying to bring some sort of, he thought he was going to bring some sort of an awareness to suicide, but it was like a clunky, he just didn't do it right and paid the respect that it deserved. He realized that he fucked up. He's basically saying he's trying. He realized that he fucked up.
Starting point is 00:54:07 He's basically saying he's trying to do something and he fucked up. I don't know, man. It's pretty gross. I just found out that he's not the same. There's a Jake Paul and a Logan Paul. I thought they were the same person. Why is everyone mad? I don't know what anyone's mad at him for.
Starting point is 00:54:22 They're mad at him because he showed you something you didn't want to see? Is that what it is? Because the video, they they were like look at his hands. They're blue and and like they kind of he kind of was very poor taste He also advertised it like the day before like I have this crazy sick video You guys are gonna freak out about you shit like that Oh, so he got a chance to look at it. He still approved it and then released it Yeah, and then he made a thumbnail where it looked like he posed for photos with the guy in the background. It's very, you know, this was a person. And they're laughing right next to this body.
Starting point is 00:54:52 But I don't know. Yeah, that disturbs the shit out of us, right? Like joking around. You can joke around, but you can't joke around near a dead guy. Well, suicide's not funny. No, it's not. If the guy died, like natural causes. But no one's laughing
Starting point is 00:55:07 at the suicide. They're laughing at him choking around near the guy who committed suicide. Like, I'm not saying you should do it. You definitely shouldn't.
Starting point is 00:55:13 I don't want to see it. But it's kind of funny that we like decide. Like, you see, it's respectful, bro. But he didn't really do anything. He just showed up and this guy was dead.
Starting point is 00:55:24 You know, I'm not saying he should make fun of him. He definitely shouldn't, but it's weird the outrage that we have for it. I'm sure he made a shitload of money because it got 7 million views. He made money off a suicide. Yeah, and you're talking about it. We're talking about it.
Starting point is 00:55:36 We're helping him out. Well, the video got pulled, but I guess it got re-uploaded a few times. He just made a second apology today because the first apology a lot of people said was very insincere. Yeah, I'm not defending him don't don't get me wrong i'm just exploring i look sometimes i try to look at things from as many perspective as i can you know i don't i don't uh i don't think that you ever want to make fun of someone dying right right when you're right there
Starting point is 00:56:03 and you're you're you're taking videos and you're you know it's a dead body hanging it's a terrible idea now if 20 this was 20 years ago it'd be okay probably probably you know what the most horrific video or photograph rather i think that uh i ever saw about the civil rights movement there's this photo of all these weird white people with like, if I remember correctly, there's kids. I might have made that up, but I remember these people standing there while there was this black guy hanging from a tree. It might have been more than one black guy. And it's one of those photos that just make you go, whoa. It's holy shit. One of the most
Starting point is 00:56:48 disturbing photos. This is it right there. Look at that photo. That is the exact photo. Actually, there's a white guy there too. There's a white guy. That's weird. Was he a pirate? There must have been something went wrong. It's not a real photo actually. This is... Okay, that's the real one. That's the real one. Son of a bitch.
Starting point is 00:57:04 That is the real one. Now I a bitch. That is the real one. Now I remember. God, my memory's starting to suck. That guy pointing up. That looks like Hitler. But those look like white guys too, bro. No, okay, that's black. The guy on the left?
Starting point is 00:57:17 That's just like light shining stuff. There's something super disturbing about dudes with those old school press hats on, staring up at bodies hanging from ropes. Fuck, man. That wasn't that long ago, you know? That's, uh... That's what's horrifying. That was less than 100 years ago.
Starting point is 00:57:41 It still happens. Probably, right? What year was that? I don't know. But that way... 1930. 1930. Holy shit. That that way was accepted in 1930.
Starting point is 00:57:57 Whew. All this new stuff, like this Magic Leap, these headsets, all these different things that we're doing. I think we're in the middle of this. So it's not registering how fucking ridiculous it is and how insane it is. I think we're just so caught up in the frothy waves of how crazy all this new shit is that we're not really paying attention enough. This is happening way quicker than I thought it was going to.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Do you think we're going to have flying cars by now, though? No. It's going to be robots. Those Boston Dynamic back-flipping gymnastics robots are going to win the Olympics. Other than proving they can do it, is there any benefit in a robot being able to do a backflip? Dude, could you imagine?
Starting point is 00:58:49 No, there's no benefit. Just to look cool. I just wanted to check. No, not at all. Could you imagine if the first robot enters into the Olympics? And then people are like, hey, what the fuck? You can't do that. Like, no.
Starting point is 00:59:05 We gave him all the strengths of a regular can't do that. Like, no. And he just, we gave him all the strengths of a regular person, 100%, no more, no less. And he has feelings too. So let him in there and don't be robot phobic. It goes back to my one question.
Starting point is 00:59:17 What's gender of the robots or the AI? Females, so the trainers can molest them. No, you know what it is? They're the first neutral gender people and they're so much happier.
Starting point is 00:59:26 There's neutral gender. Nobody cares about gender. Just be nice. That's all they care about. There's no boy, girl. They figured out a way to get past that with that CRISPR shit. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Have you seen that new sex robot? You should get that for the studio. All right, Brian. Have you seen it? You can order it now. But you don't want the first models, man. It's funnier that way. It's like one of them sharper image massage things.
Starting point is 00:59:49 It breaks your discs. They don't break your discs. I think it would be funny to have the first version now. I had an early version before they had massage chairs. They used to have this. Actually, they might have had massage chairs at the same time. But they had this thing that you would grab a hold of. It had handles on the side, it did like shiatsu.
Starting point is 01:00:06 Remember that thing? It was like little metal knuckles that would dig into your neck. I was like, this is amazing. But what I was doing, I was like, how is this? Someone's going to get hurt. He gets like some little old lady and you force that fucking thing on their neck. Like, yo, be careful with this thing. This thing's got some kick to it.
Starting point is 01:00:30 The best thing I ever found for that kind of shit is Thai massage. You ever go get a Thai massage to stand on you and stretch you out? That's the shit. Yeah. That's better than any machine. There's something about a person just doing it, like getting in there with their elbow. It's so much better than any machine. There's something about a person just doing it, like getting in there with their elbow. It's so much better than any machine. Yeah, I have this girl I go to, and she has like the handles where she holds on to,
Starting point is 01:00:53 and it's just digging her knee in your back. And I always say medium, and it hurts like hell. I can't even imagine the hard one. Thighs have so many things nailed. They figured out the best form of kickboxing you know tie boxing changed everything it's weird this one small place figured out the way to do it was to kick people's legs and you know how they figured it out man gambling gambling made it profitable to have fights all the time because people loved gamble so they'd have all these people fighting and ties they even altered their style to accommodate the gambling
Starting point is 01:01:31 like the first round they would go real slow because they wanted everybody to place their bets so pete they would just take it slow and everybody knew the fight didn't really begin to the second or the third round so it wasn't like American fighting where you would have like a Mike Tyson who would be cherished for knocking people out very quickly. Like there would be over-under bets. Is this guy, is Tony Tubbs going to last the first three minutes of the fight? You know, is Michael Spinks going to last the first three? Like world-class fighters.
Starting point is 01:02:05 Dude. Imagine getting hit by Mike Tyson when he was 20 years old. Imagine how horrible that would be. He was at the fights this past weekend. I said hi to him. Hi, Mike. That's so weird. It's
Starting point is 01:02:20 amazing. He's still a tank, too, dude. Terrifying looking person. There's a video of him hitting the bag. He's still a tank too, dude. Terrifying looking person. There's a video of him hitting the bag. He's like 51 years old or something like that. Hitting the heavy bag and you're like, oh, okay. He could still fuck you up. 100%.
Starting point is 01:02:33 Like in terms of like retired heavyweight champions, there was a trend that existed, you know, where someone would retire and then they would, you know, they wouldn't keep their form. They would get heavy. And that happened with Mike. He got very heavy. Look at this.
Starting point is 01:02:51 49-year-old Tyson. 49. So this is like two years ago. Dude, fuck all this. Give me some volume. Dude, fuck that. Dude, 49-year-old Mike Tyson will put you to sleep. 100%.
Starting point is 01:03:08 And when you're around him, you realize, you're like, he's just... Who is that? The rapper, Meek Mill. Oh, that's sad. Oh, Meek. See, I blame his trainers right there. If I was the guy holding the camera, I'd be like, stop it. Okay, first of all, we've got to straighten this whole thing out
Starting point is 01:03:30 before you start hitting hard. You've got to move. Look at all this. This might be just a personal trainer, not a boxing person, but I'm looking in the background, and I feel like I see boxing and stuff on the wall. Play that. Play that. Play that video.
Starting point is 01:03:46 Young Mike Tyson with Customato. Oh, my God. You want to change the way you feel about physics? Customato was old and dying. He was a really old guy, but he had just this deep knowledge of psychology and boxing, and he trained this unbelievably fast and powerful talented kid who had massive hunger for success the whole story of mike tyson a lot is wrapped up in the story of customato who had
Starting point is 01:04:14 been around forever and this is his last and greatest pupil and mike knew it mike knew it while it was happening and by the time he won the heavyweight championship customano had already died but he dedicated it all to him there was nobody like him you know people like they say oh you know but he never fought ali and he never fought these guys that you know his era people weren't as good maybe maybe but everybody in his era he fucked up all of them up until Spinks. Or excuse me, until Hendrix. No. Well, Buster, yeah. Buster was the first one to beat him, but I meant Holyfield.
Starting point is 01:04:52 That's how fucked up I am. I said Hendrix. I was trying to remember what the fight was. When Holyfield beat Tyson, those two fights in a row, like that was big. And when Tyson bit his ear row like that was big and when Tyson bit his ear like that was big that was like when you realize like he's just not he's not the same guy he was
Starting point is 01:05:12 we both lived in Columbus when Buster Douglas knocked him out that was a crazy like he became the big big fucking hero no one knew who he was really I feel like I was young but and then he was supposed to take over the east side of the city he was gonna change everything have a big giant boxing boxing gym, and it never happened. You know the story of Buster Douglas?
Starting point is 01:05:29 It's an amazing story. His mom died. His mom died when he was in training for the fight. Oh, really? And all of his life, he had kind of been really talented as a boxer, but hadn't really completely dedicated himself to it. hadn't really completely dedicated himself to it so when his mom died he went completely insane in the gym in preparation for Tyson and then when he came out there he it was like two people that had the exact opposite things happen to them for Tyson he had just been smashing everybody for so long he was so good and so scary he would win fights before they
Starting point is 01:06:05 would even start it would just be a matter of whether or not you were going to make it out of the first round sometimes he was just smashing people but for buster douglas is like he had some good fights and some bad fights and he just wasn't he wasn't completely consistent but he was talented but then when his mom died it was right when the time when Tyson was, you know, just overconfident. He was a 46-1 underdog, I think. Is that what it was? I think so. It was marketed as Tyson is back fight.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Oh, wow. I didn't know that. Yeah. Tyson is back. I don't remember that. What were the odds? Because I think it was one of the craziest odds of someone who won a fight. 42 to 1, it says right there.
Starting point is 01:06:50 42 to 1 is a lot. That means you have to be a total sucker to bet on Buster Douglas. But I'll take your money, stupid. Yeah, yeah, I'll give you $4,200 if you give me $100. It's like they're so confident that Tyson's going to beat them, they're willing to bet 42 times whatever you're going to put up. That to me is always, I think bets, I'm not telling you what to do, but I think bets should be like, I think actually I take it back.
Starting point is 01:07:18 I think you should be able to do whatever you want. But I think the real bet should be, who do you think is going to win? Let's make it real clear. Who's going to win? Let's make it real clear. Who's going to win? If you say, well, will Michael Spinks make it out of the first round? Like, all right, now we're getting weird. Because this is some shit you might be able to affect. You might be able to talk to Michael, Mike.
Starting point is 01:07:38 There's a lot of money in this fight. There's even more if we can get to the second round. You know what I'm saying, bro? You know what I'm saying? I think the last bet I hit like that was Amanda Nunes KO in the second round. I specifically picked that. That's very important to protect against that kind of influence because that shit's real. That shit's happened throughout sports.
Starting point is 01:07:56 If someone comes up to you and goes, look, there's a lot of money if this fight goes into the third round. That's all we got to do. Look, here's the odds. 72 to 1. 72 to 1, this fight goes to the third round. You know what that means? You let the fight go to the third round. That's all we got to do. Here's the odds. 72-1. 72-1, this fight goes to the third round. You know what that means? You let the fight go to the third round, and we'll make a lot more money. I heard a lot
Starting point is 01:08:12 of people were a little worried about the over-under for the Holly Holm Cyborg fight being only one and a half, I think, was the over-under. Really? Everybody thought it probably was going to go away longer. That's probably a gambling thing, right? Yeah, I think it has to do with where the money sits.
Starting point is 01:08:28 Is that what it is? I wish we knew. We should probably find out. Find out exactly. We used to talk to gambling experts sometimes on the old days of the UFC on Spike. A guy would come on, and he would give us the odds. He's like a local odds maker type guy and he and i would even disagree about shit sometimes god damn it i can't remember his name see if you can
Starting point is 01:08:53 remember that gentleman's name i feel terrible what was that ugly boot you had on your head was that oh how dare you how dare you it's uh i don't want to mispronounce it. Is it like a religious thing? No, it's from his area of Dagestan. I have it saved here, I think, because people have been asking me. In his area of Dagestan, they wear this thing. It says it's what a warrior, a mountain clan. They're a warrior, mountain clan, and that this is what their shepherds wear. And this is what you call it.
Starting point is 01:09:32 I don't want to fuck this up. But it looks like it says Papupa. Papupa. Papupa. I'm probably fucking that up. But this is how it's pronounced. I know how fucking that up. But this is how it's pronounced. I know how to spell it.
Starting point is 01:09:50 You look like that one guy that got arrested for murdering his wife. What's that old guy? Who's that guy? What are you? That old guy. Phil Spector. Phil Spector. Oh, no, that wasn't his wife. Oh, that's hilarious.
Starting point is 01:09:56 That is very funny, actually, dude. These knuckles. That's strong. That's strong. Remember that guy who'd show up for court with these crazy wigs on? Was it a wig or was it actually his hair? No, it was a wig. This is how you spell it.
Starting point is 01:10:14 It's P-A-P-A-K-H-A. Papooka. Papooka. Papooka. Oh, my God. Look at that hair. Yeah, that's the same. I don't even know if you don't pronounce the K.
Starting point is 01:10:27 He actually took it to the next level. Phil Spector, we're looking at Phil Spector from his murder trial. It was a horrible story. Phil Spector stuck a gun in some chick's mouth. Wow. And killed her. And apparently that was something that he had been known to do. He would pull a gun, stick it in an artist's mouth.
Starting point is 01:10:47 Do you know that there's a lot of people that think that Jimi Hendrix's manager killed him? Yeah. Yeah, and apparently there's a guy who wrote a book, a guy who was a bodyguard or something or another for someone in the music business back then. He wrote a book about this and claims that's what happened. That Jimi Hendrix's girlfriend at the time jumped off a building. She committed suicide. And they're like, no, they threw that girl off a building.
Starting point is 01:11:13 It's like, whoa. Wasn't there a documentary or a movie about it? Was there? I think there might have been. You know, you hear about a guy like Hendrix That died at 27 And you go, what? How is that? How is he that good? How the hell is he that good at 27?
Starting point is 01:11:33 Fuck, man Imagine if he was still alive It would be threatening I saw Guns N' Roses Like a month ago And Earl got us Like right in the front row. They played a three and a half hour show. It was weird seeing him.
Starting point is 01:11:52 Did they really? Yeah. It was weird seeing him perform. I tell you that Slash still has it. That motherfucker jams. Three and a half hours is insane. Yeah. What's a normal concert for like Aerosmith or some shit?
Starting point is 01:12:03 Maybe two hours. Yeah. Whoa. Maybe. Maybe. That'serosmith or some shit? Maybe two hours. Yeah Maybe that's a long it's a long time three and a half hours. Yeah, if not four hours six hours Can I get seven do I get seven? well, he um He like went to the Dark Lands and then came back like Axl Rose is a weird guy The key he vanished and then returned and now they're killing it. It's weird Remember when he broke his leg and was singing on stage with a with a cast on on a chair Yeah, it was weird watching him because when you're that close
Starting point is 01:12:35 It's weird seeing things that you normally wouldn't even notice one thing was after every song He was just go behind his curtain come out with a different shirt on. And he must have changed t-shirts maybe like 20 times in outfits. Like he would have a scarf on this one. Wow. It was weird. Yeah, that's him with a leg brace on. Yeah. Singing with a leather jacket on and a stool.
Starting point is 01:13:03 Pretty badass. Who the fuck's ever done that before? I know Dave Grohl did it while he was performing. Axl loaned him his throne. Did he really? Yeah. That's hilarious. He loaned him his brace.
Starting point is 01:13:14 That's the throne thing. Oh, the throne thing. He takes it around with him. How long did Axl have to sing on that thing for? A couple months, I think. Wow, that's crazy. Dave Grohl's a badass. Do your squats, people. How amazing is that?
Starting point is 01:13:28 You still break your leg. It was Dave's and then he loaned a tax, so I'm sorry. Other way around. Well, that's both badass. Equally badass. Either way you do it. Either way you pop it back and forth. What were you saying, Brian? How badass is Dave Grohl, though? He was the drummer for Nirvana
Starting point is 01:13:44 and then totally created the Foo Fighters right after Nirvana and it's one of the best bands ever you know and he's now not even playing drums anymore you know was he playing drums for Nirvana yeah he was the drummer for Nirvana and now he's saying well you know I could do anything drummer of the year and guitarist of the year. Separate offices, separate years, separate bands. He's a bad motherfucker. For sure. I love the Foo Fighters. No, never met him.
Starting point is 01:14:12 That's all I'm thankful for. I met one of the other guys in Nirvana. Who's the other gentleman? Pat Smear, or you got that? The guy who flies planes. I met him at one of the marijuana policy projects. Snub Lacevich? I think that's yeah
Starting point is 01:14:26 that gentleman the guy threw the guitar up and it fell and hit him in the head during the MTV movie oh that's a mistake music awards oh fuck man
Starting point is 01:14:33 that's terrible remember in the old days when uh people would smash guitars on stage that was like a big deal Trent Reznor used to do it every time
Starting point is 01:14:44 I mean what the fuck is that about, man? What was that about? What was this whole destroying musical instruments thing about? Rock and roll, man. We're gonna bring it all down. I'm gonna smash this fucking guitar.
Starting point is 01:14:56 Do it, dude. Do it, dude. Smash. Smash. Smash. Fuck. You didn't have any money and you just imagined if you could get Jimi Hendrix guitar.
Starting point is 01:15:07 Did he smash guitars? No. Who do you think I got right here as the first person to do it, or at least credited with? Let me think. 1960s. That's the only hint. Jimi Hendrix burned his guitar. Yeah, he burned it. I'd say the first person would be like... No, I feel like he smashed it, too.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Yeah. I would say he smashed guitars. Didn't he smash it, Jamie? I don't know that he didn't. I'll look up Hendrix just for sure, but I got the guy that... The first guy. Who's the guy? Who's the first guy? Pete Townsend.
Starting point is 01:15:32 Oh, of course. That's right. That's right. Pete Townsend did it. You know what? I might be fucking this up. Jimi Hendrix might not have smashed a guitar. It might have just been Townsend.
Starting point is 01:15:43 Didn't someone in Kiss, did Ace Frehley ever smash guitars? Here's Monterey Pop Festival. Jimmy lit it on fire and smashed it. Oh, man, he was high as fuck. Just hitting everything. Some weak-ass slams. You got to work on your... Oh!
Starting point is 01:16:00 No, I know what... Oh, look at that, he broke it. Yeah, he can't move in those fucking pants. Those pants, man, they used to constrict your dick. That's why none of these guys had kids. Plenty of Kravitz. His pants ripped open. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:16:13 His schlong of death came flying. Jimi Hendrix was wearing those jeans. Jeans that tight, man, you can't do shit in those things. He definitely can't smash guitars correctly. So he smashed guitars a bunch of times. Yeah. Yeah, this has to go with the feeling of the music you're getting, man. You just get into it.
Starting point is 01:16:37 Yeah. Plus you're on acid, right? Yeah, also. He's on acid a lot during this time, wasn't he? Wow. Look at this. They just let him smash these things. Here's a guitar sacrifice.
Starting point is 01:16:49 So a guy like Matt the Immortal Brown, seeing Jimi Hendrix swing that guitar, is like, just needs a little coaching. That's like a big exercise they use with maces and shit. That's like hitting tires with sledgehammers. That's an excellent form of exercise. Now try to find Nickelback smashing a guitar. Not going to happen.
Starting point is 01:17:07 Come on, bro. Come on, baby. You got to be easy on Nickelback. I don't think they're bad. But I accept that you don't like it. I just feel like as I move into 2018, I want to spend more time on things I like than things I don't like. And more time, if there are things that I don't like,
Starting point is 01:17:29 I want to be able to look at them in a more relaxed manner and be less, less engaged with it. And more, more just as long as you're not hurting anybody, just have fun. Who gives a shit? Did you read about Will Ferrell? Uh,
Starting point is 01:17:44 he did a, uh uh rose parade that they acted he dressed up in a character with this other girl that used to be on saturday night live and they they acted like local like news people doing like showing the parade and they broadcasted it live on amazon prime and people thought it was real they didn't a lot of people didn't even realize it was will ferrell and so like people are like angry A lot of people didn't even realize it was Will Ferrell. And so people were angry about it because they didn't get the joke. Oh my God, it's hilarious. He shaved his head.
Starting point is 01:18:12 He's got prosthetic on or something? Yeah, yeah. Oh my God, that is amazing. As fictional local TV host, the duo made jokes about the parade's marching bands, flower-covered floats, and inaccurate historical uniforms. Oh my God, that's so uniforms. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:18:25 That's so funny. Yeah, I guess you can get it on Amazon Prime right now. And I guess there's so many one stars and all the reviews are like, how dare they? This is a tradition. Oh, my God. That's hilarious. Who are these local news people?
Starting point is 01:18:38 That is so funny. That's so funny. Will Ferrell's fucking. Anybody who says Will Ferrell's not funny, I can't talk to. There's over 1,000 one stars on it. Yeah, I I can't talk to. It's over a thousand one stars on it. Yeah, I just can't talk to anybody who doesn't think that guy's hilarious. Yeah. See, I just
Starting point is 01:18:51 contradicted what I said earlier. You can like whatever you want. I don't care. Meanwhile, I'm like, except Will Ferrell. You fuck. For me, towel-digging nights, man, when he's running around in his underwear, he's saying, Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft. I'm on fire. I'm crying.
Starting point is 01:19:07 You know that's based off a real thing? Him running out thinking he's on fire? Because there was a famous car like, what's that? Petroleum? Where it's like you can't see petroleum when it's on fire. A petroleum fire, it's clear or it's invisible.
Starting point is 01:19:23 This famous race car driver. Yeah. There was a fire in his car, but you couldn't see it. So he's like, I'm on fire. But to everyone else, it looked like he was just a crazy person. I think this might be it. I see, like, all these people are on fire right now, and you can't even tell.
Starting point is 01:19:40 There's a fire. Oh, wow. Because petroleum fire, you can't see. Whoa. What? Yeah, I looked this up the other day, too. Yeah. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:19:51 So I didn't know that whole scene was based on that. How do I not know this? I don't know. Yeah. You can't see petroleum fire? You can only see it at night. Oh, my God. That is insane, man.
Starting point is 01:20:04 So all these people are on fire, and they're running from invisible fire. Oh my god. How am I just now learning this? You can't see petroleum fire? Yeah. Is that real? Yeah. Only at night.
Starting point is 01:20:18 It has to be really dark, because it's like the light blue part of it. Oh my god. It doesn't get any orange or anything. That is so fucked. But how hilarious is that that was based on a real thing? And so he has flame retardant clothes on, so that stuff doesn't catch
Starting point is 01:20:32 fire. Right. So it's just his skin that's getting it. Oh my god. Oh my god, how horrific. And it got into the crowd too, like people are like why is everyone freaking out? Oh my god. Here's another Radiolab plug. I was listening to this thing about ball lightning.
Starting point is 01:20:48 See here. Right now, he'll catch it on fire. And see how much fire it is. Oh, my God. It's just blue. Oh. So if that's your nose. See, like right there.
Starting point is 01:21:01 You can't tell. That's on fire. Yeah. Right there. Yeah. That's insane. That's insane, dude. Oh, my God. That's on fire. Yeah. Right there. Yeah. That's insane. That's insane, dude. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:21:06 He just dropped something in it. Instantly caught fire. Wow. That's why petroleum fires are dangerous for firemen and stuff like that. Yeah. Because you can't see. How do I not know that? I can't believe I woke up today on January 2nd, 2018.
Starting point is 01:21:25 I learned that for the first time. Stay woke. I should have known that. I'm not woke. Not woke. That's hashtag not woke. But you're hashtag blessed. Hashtag blessed.
Starting point is 01:21:36 But not hashtag woke today. I didn't know about petroleum fires. It's crazy that you could just buy a lighter. You want to talk about like what's the possibility of people being fucked up way less than you think because like lighters are everywhere and there's relatively few fires
Starting point is 01:21:53 in comparison to the number of lighters you know like everybody's got a fucking lighter everybody we know has a lighter when's the last time someone we know lit some shit on fire right it is weird it's weird like the Someone we know lit some shit on fire. Right? It is weird.
Starting point is 01:22:07 It's weird. It's weird. Like, the real weirdness about driving cars is how few accidents there are. That's the real weirdness. Of course, there's going to be some, and more so with these fucking assholes on their phones. God damn. I've been seeing some drifters, some people drifting lanes and texting while they're driving. Holy shit, that's common.
Starting point is 01:22:33 But take that away, and it's remarkable how rarely we slam into each other. It's remarkable. You can go years without a car accident if you're careful. Years and years and years. Fuck, man. Especially in this city. Yeah. It's remarkable. you know they happen they definitely happen there's no way right now they can tell exactly what you were doing they just know what happened
Starting point is 01:22:55 but if there's a way that they can put one of those scent you know how they have uh don't they have on star now in a lot of cars you buy them like from the factory they have that on star thing where you you could actually like have calls like make phone calls with uh whatever it is on the other line like you could say hey can you book me a reservation at a restaurant like they're also monitoring like how fast your car is going they're monitoring like monitoring certain metrics, certain things they can figure out, like what happened when you were causing an accident,
Starting point is 01:23:30 where'd you go, where'd you drive to. They can track you on GPS. And at a certain point in time, they're going to be like, why can't we just film them? They're just going to film you all the time inside your car. And if you want to drive a Cadillac, don't have any fucking orgies in it. Because we have to film you all the time inside your car. And if you want to drive a Cadillac, don't have any fucking orgies in it. Because we have to film you because otherwise we're never going to know what the fuck you did to cause this car accident.
Starting point is 01:23:52 We don't want to get sued. Oldsmobile has the camera. So if you're doing the lane departure setting, it detects if you're not paying attention by tracking your face. So there's a camera in Oldsm think it's Oldsmobiles now. Wow. Well, that's sort of like the iPhone X or X, right? It sees your face. It recognizes your face to open up your password.
Starting point is 01:24:14 And it works pretty fucking good. It's not perfect, but it's like, ooh, it's a lot better than I thought it was going to be. A lot smoother. I got this phone when I couldn't find my glasses and i found them the other day and i have a beard now and i had a stocking hat on still unlocks it it's like how the hell does it go through all those things what would change if someone gained or lost weight would anything change i don't think so i think it detects like how far your eyes are apart you know and like little things like that like i think my what's weird is that I have a Amazon
Starting point is 01:24:45 Echo in my next to my bed now because it's like the best alarm clock ever it's like it's one of those things where you go like Alexa you know and right but it has a camera on it yeah it's watching you for sure yeah Alexa's watching your your whole life I'm like keep an eye on me Alexa yeah every time you beat off Alexa makes a check mark right next to you. It is weird, though. We'll be just sleeping all night, and Alexa will just be like, I can't understand what you're talking about.
Starting point is 01:25:11 And you're like, what? I didn't say anything. Alexa will just start coming to life. She's starting to wake up. She's becoming more woke than me. The best is if you go, Alexa, rap. And it does this rap. It's a great rap. She'll do a rap? Alexa rap and it does this rap it's a great rap
Starting point is 01:25:26 should it do a rap? yeah and it's a good rap yeah we were talking before the podcast that there was a it's a good rap we were talking
Starting point is 01:25:34 before the podcast there was something about Apple buying Netflix Jesus how do you feel about a company that gets that big?
Starting point is 01:25:42 like how do you feel about like any company that just buys up everything you know they just Disney Disney bought up Star Wars feel about a company that gets that big? How do you feel about any company that just buys up everything? Disney? Disney bought up Star Wars. What else did they buy up? Didn't they just buy the other movie studio
Starting point is 01:25:52 that owns the Avengers or whatever? Pixar? Paramount? I don't know. They had a lot of money. $52 billion to buy 21st Century Fox. Yeah. So now the Marvel Universe is complete, I think now? Is it bad?
Starting point is 01:26:09 Is it bad to have giant companies? Some people would say yes, right? But what about a giant company like Google seems to be a pretty goddamn good company. Like as far as like the way they treat people, it's supposed to be like pretty good. Other than that James Dam'Amore memo thing, the thing that went out, remember that? That whole, where the guy was talking about why there aren't women in tech
Starting point is 01:26:32 and what would encourage them. And a lot of people said he was sexist and it got crazy. And I was like, then I had to read it like a couple of times ago. It's like one or two things that might be misconstrued as being sexist because of the term neuroticism.
Starting point is 01:26:43 And I think he believes, I believe he uses the term neurotic, but really super duper controversial fucking thing. And although I don't agree with it, Google firing the guy, I kind of get it. I get where they are just to kind of calm everyone's nerves. I don't agree with that at all. But I understand why they as a corporation would think that way. But for the most part, I seem part, I like what they're doing.
Starting point is 01:27:06 They're buying up all these robotics and these different corporations that are creating. Didn't Google buy up Boston Dynamics? I think they already sold it, though. Yeah, they sold it. They bought it and then sold it? Stole all the secrets. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:27:20 I wonder if that's what they did. Because you don't hear about the sale when they get rid of something like that. You don't hear about the purchase requisition. Yeah, you sell it, and then you make sure that you don't sign some sort of a non-compete clause. They could have also done it to buy a person. There might have been someone working there they wanted to have on their team, and so they just, well, buy your whole company.
Starting point is 01:27:36 Now you work for us. Whoa. That's some fucking Game of Thrones type shit with silicone. Disney was smart to buy Hulu because they just pulled all their stuff off Netflix. All Disney, I think. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:49 All Disney off Netflix. So now they're just going to put it all on Hulu, which is awesome because I love Hulu. But here's the question. Like, is that, is it, is it possible to be as big as Google and not be scary?
Starting point is 01:28:02 Right. When something gets so big that it controls so much, people tend to just immediately get wary. Like, whoa, this is the whole market. There's only one way you can get the internet. Verizon was the only internet provider on planet Earth. That's it. We'd be like, hey, just you?
Starting point is 01:28:21 Just you. Because it's too big right controls too much it's like what's the level we're comfortable with it depends on it's comfortable with apple it depends the company also i think you know like i think a lot of people trust google you know apple put the nets over the buildings when the people were jumping they did the right thing did you see the thing with the batteries they did the response that battery thing is crazy we got to talk about we talked how how many years ago did We're jumping. We did the right thing. Did you see the thing with the batteries they did? The response? I feel like I've seen. That battery thing is crazy.
Starting point is 01:28:46 We've got to talk about that. We talked. How many years ago did we start talking about? You called it in like whatever the first year of the fucking new iPhone was. When they had a new iPhone and then the new, new iPhone. As soon as the new, new iPhone came out, you were like, I know what these motherfuckers are doing. Yeah, but I get their excuse. It might have been like two iPhones in.
Starting point is 01:29:09 I want to be honest about this. I don't remember. I don't remember. But I remember there was a time that you called it first, way before everybody else. I was like, Brian's all paranoid about technology.
Starting point is 01:29:19 I understand their excuse though. I get what they're saying. I mean, if the batteries are going to start failing because it can't, you know, the power's all fucked up in a battery. But to deny that they know that the throttling down of performance of the phone is not going to influence people into deciding to buy a new phone is ridiculous. Yeah. You're literally disabling the phone. And you're not doing your customer service base,
Starting point is 01:29:48 you're not doing them a service. Because if you really cared about them getting the best stuff all the time, what you would do is you would say, hey, these batteries are going to get older. If you want to continue your phones, here's a new battery at a reasonable rate. Otherwise, we have to throttle down the performance of your phone so that you can get a day's use out of it.
Starting point is 01:30:11 But that can be avoided by simply swapping out the battery. So this is what happens when your phone gets to be a year old. Yeah. But that's sort of disingenuous, right? And the batteries were so expensive. Now I think they got them down to $29. But that's just in response to getting in this situation. I think they make amazing shit.
Starting point is 01:30:30 This iPhone X, whatever the fuck they want to call it, it's amazing. It's crazy that there's a company that makes something like that. They're going to make some mistakes. I don't know who approved that mistake, but that's a mistake. They shouldn't have done that. But the stuff they make is, someone's got to do that. It's not going to be like the Brian and Joe Corporation. Right.
Starting point is 01:30:50 You know? I mean, you need something with massive resources and a shit-fuck ton of people to be able to put together the cash to make an iPhone X. I mean, you've got to hire a lot of fucking people to make this thing right. You've got to hire wizards and sorcerers and goddamn silicone geniuses and people who know how to get lithium ion batteries thinner than your fucking fingernail in these things. Not thinner than your fingernail, right? Thinner than a finger.
Starting point is 01:31:23 What's like, how thick is a, Well, it can't be that thick. This shit has a case on it. Like, how thin is a battery in a cell phone? It's pretty thin. Like paper chip. Or a potato chip, rather. Like a flat potato. If you ever could flatten out a potato chip.
Starting point is 01:31:40 It's a little thicker than that, actually. What's crazy, though, is that the phone before this, iPhone 7 Plus S, whatever the fuck it was, when I downloaded the new operating system on it, it was crashy, it was buggy, it fucked up all the time. But then when I got the iPhone X, the same operating system, it worked way better. So that's not anything to do with the battery.
Starting point is 01:32:02 That's just because they built an operating system around this processor and this screen and all the components on this, and then they're emulating it for all the other phones or whatever they're doing. It's almost like the only way to be truly awesome at something is just to be greedy, too. It's like they've got to fuel this motherfucker. Okay, this is projected sales, and we can get that up at about 20%, and this is how we're gonna do it. They have dark secret meetings where they just add candles, went into the fucking basement, and they go, we're gonna slow down the old phones.
Starting point is 01:32:36 No! Don't do it, Mark! We're working for technology. We've always worked for technology. We can't slow down the fucking phones, man. We're going to slow them down. We're going to slow them down and sell them the new shit. They don't need the new shit.
Starting point is 01:32:50 It's about information more than it's about new apps. You've been watching Black Mirror? I only watched three episodes, but I love it. You haven't watched the new season? I've watched, I think, one episode in the new season, which was the video game episode, but the guy was in the lifelike video game That was remarkably similar to Ari Shaffir's
Starting point is 01:33:08 Salvia Divinorum trip. There's no new new season as of like two days ago. There's another new I don't have the time for this but the last one I watched was the video game one I'm hooked on the unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt right now on Netflix. Have you watched it? Dude, that is a funny, silly show. Oh, yeah. I have seen that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:31 The lady, she was trapped in a bunker for 15 years in a religious cult, and she gets out, and she's living in New York City, and she doesn't know what the fuck's going on. It's really funny, man. There's a couple episodes where it kind of falls apart, but then it bounces back strong. It's very funny again now. It's a couple episodes where it kind of falls apart, but then it bounces back strong. It's very funny again now. It's a really good show. I'm on like episode, I want to say eight. I think I'm on episode eight.
Starting point is 01:33:53 Black Mirror is getting in some trouble because I guess Carl, you're not Carl Pinkerton? Carl Pinkerton. Yeah. Yeah. Supposedly, two things on two different episodes, he talks about something that they stole in Black Mirror, which is weird. It was in the news today. things on two different episodes he talks about something that they stole in black mirror and which is weird it was in the news today but um well i don't know what the specifics are so i don't want to comment but um there's a lot of things that black mirror did as subjects that
Starting point is 01:34:17 i talked about too but it was just because a lot of people were talking about potential future technologies like this video game thing where they put something in the back of your head like the Matrix and plug you into some artificial experience that's indistinguishable. I've talked about that a hundred times just from being high and thinking about what are they going to be able to do next that's crazier than Duncan Trussell when he had that HTC Vive. You put that thing on. Did you put that thing on? I have one. Oh, you, you put that thing on, did you put that thing on? I have one. Oh, you have one.
Starting point is 01:34:47 Duncan, uh, had me over his podcast and I put it on for like an hour and a half before I did it. You do just do, you do that and you go, okay, well what's next? You know?
Starting point is 01:34:56 So I don't know if Carl just was able to figure out what's next. Are they saying this plagiarism? Yeah. I mean, if, if, uh, if the,
Starting point is 01:35:04 do you have the article, Jimmy? If, uh, it seems pretty specific where it's not like, hey, let's see. He's talking about simulation theory. It's more like he actually had this idea. I forget what it is. I saw it this morning. Sometimes, though, it is parallel thinking. So let's just in the interest of this spoiler alerts in there.
Starting point is 01:35:22 I don't even want to read. OK. Watch Carl Pink and predict new Black Mirror plots years ahead of time. Yeah, you're right. We can't bring these up. So who wrote the article? What's it on? Gizmodo.
Starting point is 01:35:33 Gizmodo. I love that site. Very good site. Yeah. I love them. Very good site. They're real news. Do you have like five websites that you just shuffle back and forth?
Starting point is 01:35:45 Like Gizmodo's one, Engadget's one, Kotaku's one. New Scientist's one. New Scientist's. People get mad, but you tell them I like to read the New York Times. New York Times? People get mad. You like reading fake news? It's the fucking New York Times.
Starting point is 01:35:59 Okay, you cannot just immediately dismiss the fucking New York Times. You cannot. With any mistakes that anybody has made ever, you cannot fucking dismiss the New York Times. How dare you? They're a giant part of what made people at this level in terms of our understanding of world events. A giant part leading to 2017. part leading to 2017. Like if you look at the history of human beings, understanding the reality of a detailed intellectual understanding of the reality of certain current world events compiled in a daily resource, the New York Times changed the world. It offered people super high level information from uber smart people on a regular basis. And to dismiss that and say that that's just as good as any other paper, it's like, no, no, no, there's a pursuit. They were in a pursuit for excellence in information.
Starting point is 01:37:03 Now, whether or not they made some mistakes, I'd criticize them for that Conor McGregor weird thing that they said is his face was covered in blood and he was... And they fixed it immediately. Yeah, they said he almost fell through the ropes before the referee rescued him. He got his ass kicked. You don't have to make anything up.
Starting point is 01:37:20 What happened was amazing. You don't have to embellish it just to make your magazine. This is crazy. You can't have to embellish it just to make your magazine. This is crazy. Like, you can't do that. You're the New York Times. Especially in this day and age. You gotta resist, you gotta be, I'm Robert Yorglou.
Starting point is 01:37:34 You can't even respond. You can't, and you can't put out anything fake. You just can't. You know? But people that go, oh, the New York Times is fake news. Like, they've been around for so long! Do you know how much important shit they put out? You're going to just dismiss them because you love Trump.
Starting point is 01:37:49 You're really willing to do that? That's as crazy as anything I've ever heard. You can't do that either. They can't be exonerated. They can be exonerated, but they can't be exempt from not being called out by printing something that's not true. Everyone should be held up to the same standards. But if you don't appreciate what the New York Times has done, that seems crazy to me.
Starting point is 01:38:12 It's just, they're really important. Did you see all the Trump global warming tweets? He doesn't really understand global warming. He's trolling, bro. He's a scientist. Wake up. It's freezing right now. Global warming's not real. He's warming. He's trolling, bro. He's a scientist. Wake up. It's freezing right now. Global warming's not real.
Starting point is 01:38:27 He's 70 and he's trolling. Yeah, that's weird, right? I wish that was true. I wish the whole thing was a troll. That'd be so fucking bad. No, he's trolling about that, though. You know, he just doesn't want anybody fucking with him. And he feels like a lot of the mainstream media, they fuck with him.
Starting point is 01:38:40 And so he fires back. And then it becomes this weird thing where all the people that are on his side started like they you know they pick people pick sides man and they're like fake news fake news like no it's the new york times it's not it's the one of the best news sources ever have they said shit that's not true a hundred percent you know why they're run by people people fuck up everywhere there's not a place where they go where they don't fuck up. Every fucking place a person goes, they fuck up. They fuck up in Harvard. They fuck up in MIT.
Starting point is 01:39:13 They just fuck up way less than most of us. They're still just people. It's a weird time right now. It's a weird time right now as far as the way people are looking at things. You know? It just seems, everything seems very exaggerated. Like we're preparing for something. Like we're a screaming baby.
Starting point is 01:39:39 War. You think so? North Korea. But here's the other thing. North Korea just made a speech recently where they were actually open to high-level talks. And it was way more passive and less threatening. Yeah. And people like this crazy motherfucker might realize Trump is a crazy motherfucker, too, who actually runs the U.S.
Starting point is 01:40:00 And unlike Obama, who would probably never consider attacking North Korea he's looking at Trump he's like this dude is 70 okay he's old as fuck he's been a gangster his whole life and now he just took over the country and he let the military guys do whatever the fuck they want to do you don't think there's a high possibility that some of those spaceships from Nevada might come out of a hole in the ground and go rocketing towards North Korea in 20 minutes and let loose some crazy new bombs that you haven't even heard of yet. That's entirely possible. He knows it. I don't like to think there's any benefit to our current situation. Well, we also just cut off all their gas.
Starting point is 01:40:44 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's some serious sanctions. So that might be wise. Well, that's not, you're right. That's actually probably more logical.
Starting point is 01:40:52 Yeah. But I'm doing more of the comic book thing. It's like people don't want to piss Trump off. It's interesting. You know? Yeah. I make sense. He's like,
Starting point is 01:41:04 he's definitely nuttier than the regular dude. He's definitely nuttier than the regular dude he's definitely nuttier than the regular dude that's in the job i thought we were getting an attack the other day when that spacex launch happened like that was ah did you really think so well everyone at starbucks i said starbucks everyone at starbucks starts running out and i was like oh my god what's going on like is there a bomb like i was kind of freaked out then everyone's like staring at the sky so i run out and first i thought it was an alien because that pulsating smoke that was happening on the side like i had never seen anything like that before it was like wait my eyes have never seen that before because it was like it looked like a big whale then there was like a dot in the middle of it that was pulsating like smoke rings almost. Whoa. And it just looked foreign.
Starting point is 01:41:45 It looked like an alien. But then everyone's like, is that Korea? And I'm like, I didn't even think about North Korea. Like, is that headed downtown? I saw one of those once on Melrose. It was a launch out of Edwards Air Force Base. They launched something like some missile test. I was like, whoa, you saw this thing shooting across the sky.
Starting point is 01:42:01 People are pulling their cars over. This is a long time ago. And they did it like right at dusk, right as the sun was setting. And I think they thought they could get away with it. They could sneak it in there before we could see it. It's weird that they do that. Like, there was a lot of car accidents when that happened because everyone thought, what the fuck? Were we getting attacked?
Starting point is 01:42:19 It's weird that they don't, like, you know how your phone goes off if Pablo gets kidnapped by his stepdad. You know, you have that but they won't say hey there's gonna be a big rocket launch what do you show Jamie what is this time lapse of the one from last week that is crazy oh my god yeah that oh my god that is crazy and it's it's going around the earth and off into fucking space Shooting off three on Friday night, so just here's your warning night. Don't freak hey, right? Oh, we're gonna be the store when is the one where he shoots a Tesla to Mars when's he doing that? That's coming up soon
Starting point is 01:42:58 I think that's what the thing on Friday is supposed got pushed from Friday to Friday from Thursday And it's setting up the next the big, which I think is that where he's... Has there ever been a guy that's more like Tony Stark than Elon Musk? Never. He's awesome. Do you think he's sending his car away so he can go get it, like he's going to be the first one to go? Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum.
Starting point is 01:43:17 I'm fucking out of here. Take my car with me. I won't let him go. You got to stay. Dude, we need you down here. You might not make it back. What if your calculations are off? What if your calculations are off? What if your calculations are off like, you know, sometimes people are saying they get up to Tesla and the door handle doesn't open up automatically.
Starting point is 01:43:33 And then you don't even have a door handle. Like, okay. What if that happens when you're up there, bro? Yeah. Huh? We never had a super genius that everybody wants to just hand the keys to before. What if he is the Bitcoin guy, too, that some people think?
Starting point is 01:43:47 Some people think he created Bitcoin, yeah. Oh, shit. I have to ask Mr. Antonopoulos if he agrees with that. I don't believe that. Why don't you? Because that would be too crazy. He's already too crazy. What if he's an alien?
Starting point is 01:44:00 What if he's the future? He's dating Johnny Depp's ex. He can't be too crazy. Broke up with her, bro. Oh, he did? Good for him. He brought her to the comedy store one's dating Johnny Depp's ex. He can't be too quick. Broke up with her, bro. Oh, he did? Good for him. He brought her to the comedy store one night. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 01:44:09 Dude, I got to think that there's levels to everything. And there might be even levels in the super genius category. And he's in some weird, new, crazy, ultra productive level of the super genius category. Dude, he powered, what part of New Zealand was it or something like that? Was it Australia? It was Australia. He made some sort of a bet where he would install some mega battery complex in Australia. Am I remembering this right?
Starting point is 01:44:40 And it worked perfectly in record time. See, Tesla built a giant battery to fight power outages in Australia, and it's already working. And it worked in, like, milliseconds. Like, the power went down, and it kicked on in milliseconds. Only lasts three years before it starts slowing down near the city. 0.14 seconds. That's insane. 0.14 seconds.
Starting point is 01:45:03 That's insane. After a major plant, the Luoyang Station in the neighboring state of Victoria suffered a sudden drop in output. That's amazing. It kicked in just 0.14 seconds after the thing went out. The thing. The thing. Yeah, man. He's a wizard. He's some sort of new type of cultural figure.
Starting point is 01:45:28 Like the electronic daddy. He's the guy who's making cars. He's going to build autonomous, what are those? Transporter trucks. Gigantic semi trucks. The boring company. Yeah, the boring company. He's going to fix traffic. He the boring company. He's gonna fix traffic
Starting point is 01:45:45 Why is it he keeps going? Why is he tackle things like cancer herpes? Figure it out on your own bitch. I'm busy making electric cars the fuck What do you want you fix it? I'm doing this. I made a car. I made a car I'm shooting one of my cars to Mars wanna come wanna watch I think he's got like he's gotta have two or three friends that are all sort of like What do you guys want to do this month? What are we going to fix or fuck with?
Starting point is 01:46:10 He's too smart to have friends. He's got a couple people that he observes. He's got to have a buddy he bounces some shit off of. The guy's an alien. You don't think the buddy would go, just talk to Johnny Depp. If he had a real buddy, I'd be like, listen, she seems amazing.
Starting point is 01:46:27 She's probably telling the truth. I don't know. I don't know who's right, who's wrong. I want you to be happy, bro. I don't want craziness in your life. She just got off of doing coke and jumping out of windows. He's in Paris freaking out. What do i do
Starting point is 01:46:45 yeah i think uh there's levels to the super genius game and he's some new level he's like some new uh mike tyson punch out character like whoa like this is the new super genius inventor level but that's also a super famous person. Everybody knows who Elon Musk is. He's almost like a character. If you wanted proof that there's some sort of a really super complex, captivating narrative about being a person in 2018, he's a central character.
Starting point is 01:47:24 Was he smart his whole life? Was he creating things in in like middle school and high school or digital one day out of nowhere this guy comes about oh I invented this old stuff I'm smart it's a good question maybe it's all a rouge it's a good question it's really just Foxconn what if he's the first robot what if they sent him till like we we get him to run for president he He wins. And then on TV, he cuts open his arm and he shows you circuitry. It's like robots need love too.
Starting point is 01:47:50 I helped you guys. I fixed your whole fucking world. That's the way. He made a computer game when he was 12. Yeah, but which one? E.T.? Normal. Doom.
Starting point is 01:48:02 Doom VR. Have you played that yet? It's very disturbing to know there's people that are that much smarter than you. Right? yeah it's very disturbing to know there's people that are that much smarter than you right you go well
Starting point is 01:48:08 okay but here's the thing like people are better than you at shit you gotta get over that there's just no way around it
Starting point is 01:48:16 you know imagine if you're like Elon Musk's older brother and you you know you're like bro you don't know shit
Starting point is 01:48:23 you're only seven he's like, okay. And it just brews up inside of him, grows, grows in power. Then what do you do? Even if you're happy, even if you have a great life, like, even if you're like, you know, what do I do? Oh, um, I make log furniture, you know, like for outside, for the patio. I mean, some of people's fondest moments. You're sitting out on the back patio, and I just, it seems kind of old-fashioned to me. And one of the old-fashioned things that I like is log furniture.
Starting point is 01:48:59 So I build log outside patio furniture. My name's Michael, Michael Musk. Yeah, I'm super happy. Couldn't be happier. Yeah. Yeah, he's my brother. Yeah, Elon, he's... Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 01:49:14 Elon's on speed, okay? Elon's on Adderall and ProVigil and NuVigil, and he's taking microdoses. He microdoses. He's not clean. Test him. He's got a brother. He micro doses. He's not clean. Test him. He's got a brother. Kimball Musk.
Starting point is 01:49:31 Kimball's probably the real Elon Musk. He's a super genius that exists in the lotus position and floats in midair in some wheat silo somewhere in New Hampshire and they go visit him a couple of times a month. I wouldn't mind. I would be like, give me a free Tesla every couple days. They probably got that dude in the bunker with Dick Cheney right now.
Starting point is 01:49:49 Kimball Musk. Yeah, I want to know what Kimball does. He teaches Kung Fu. He's in those videos that I always post on Instagram. Just imagine if his brother was just a nut. Oh, look at him. Handsome bastard. Drinking coffee.
Starting point is 01:50:03 Oh, my. Age 45. Regional manager for Blockbuster Video. he's from South Africa even crazier So Elon's from South Africa Wow They co-started a company called Zip2 And sold it to Compaq
Starting point is 01:50:18 South Africa is an interesting place Very very interesting place A lot of people I know that go there love it. And obviously the crazy history with Nelson Mandela and apartheid and how recent that was to us. But I always think of that Sugar Man movie when I think of South Africa now.
Starting point is 01:50:41 I always think of District 9. Doesn't it look like District 9 there? The movie with the robots? The Antwerp? No, District 9 was the movie with the aliens. There were aliens. No, they weren't robots, right? They were like weird aliens.
Starting point is 01:50:56 What were they? I think some sort of thing of both, honestly. It was like some sort of tech alien. Oh, that's right. Can you show it again? That was a great fucking movie. I love that movie. It's one of tech alien. Oh, that's right. Can you show it again? That was a great fucking movie. I love that movie. It's one of my favorites.
Starting point is 01:51:08 Oh, that's right. Yeah, they were like some sort of mechanism. Yeah, that's right, man. Fuck, that was a good movie. I need to rewatch it. I think it was shot in South Africa.
Starting point is 01:51:19 I think that's where he's from. They made it Neil Blomkamp. Yeah. What was the movie I said that it made me, remind me of? What did I just say? Didn't you?
Starting point is 01:51:31 I heard it, but it's not registered. God damn it. Dee Antwoord is always a big connection. I always think about them. But I was saying, it was Nelson Mandela and there was something else that made me think about South Africa. I'll come back to it. Oh, that Elysium movie.
Starting point is 01:51:50 That was the Matt Damon movie. Was that in South Africa? I don't know. I think it's sort of similar topic as District 9. It's crazy that a guy like Elon Musk, some super duper fucking genius would come out of that spot.
Starting point is 01:52:10 What's that place like? We should do a JRE in South Africa. Do a live JRE. Swim with the Great Whites. Fuck that. That's true, right? That's a scary spot. I hear when you fly over them in your plane, they jump up and try to bite the plane.
Starting point is 01:52:28 Think of that spot, man. You want to talk about spots? South Africa. Like Dutch colonists trying to carve out a place in the land in Africa. What do you got me here? The wild boys in South Africa. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:52:47 Got in a zebra suit and went out and let lions fuck with them. Great idea. We had Steve-O on Kill Tony last night for the weigh-ins. Is this in a game preserve, though? I remember them actually telling this story on here. I think they shot the lion part here in L.A. The reason why I ask is they have places in South Africa where they let the lions loose or not.
Starting point is 01:53:08 They know when to let them loose. It's kind of... Oh, Jesus Christ. The lions actually tried to get them? Oh, no. They did the dumbest stuff. Oh, my God. That's insane. The lions took away their hat?
Starting point is 01:53:23 This isbra head. Dude, that is so crazy. They're lucky they lived. They did the dumbest stuff on that show. Yeah, that really was. He's had more than one experiences with Lions then. Because I thought the one that he had in the tree was the only one he ever had. Is that Steve-O right there? He's crazy.
Starting point is 01:53:42 I had drinks with him, Everlast, Eddie Bravo, one of Eddie's students, and Steve-O's girlfriend. We're all hanging around. And Steve-O's telling me all these different things that he's about to do. And I was like, why? I'm like, why are you doing that? He's showing me the scars that he had on his arm from the operations where he had to... What's going on here? He's got a hook? He's baiting for sharks.
Starting point is 01:54:10 He put a hook through his lip. And then jumped out in the water with sharks. Oh my god. No cage. Just jumped in the water with a hook in his mouth. His latest one where he got burnt in his back and everything. Disgusting.
Starting point is 01:54:25 Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. He had a bunch of different skin grafts from cadavers. That's so crazy. He looks good now, though. Saw him last night. He does. He's showing, but he's planning on more chaos.
Starting point is 01:54:41 He's not like, oh, he's gonna go, you're done. You're fine. You can walk. Everything's fine. Let's just end this. Nope. He's like Evel Knievel. That guy never stopped, right? I think he's way less busted up than Evel Knievel. Evel Knievel lived in the days where, you know, the medicine was not as good.
Starting point is 01:54:58 But he also was flying motorcycles and shit. Way different. Evel Knievel was jumping rockets across canyons remember that snake river canyon is that what it was where was that in arizona or some shit do you remember that he had a rocket he shot it across a canyon those uh those guys that climb those uh skyscrapers and stuff did you see that the guy that fell? Yeah, I did. That was a creepy video to watch.
Starting point is 01:55:27 Horrifying video to watch. Scary. Horrifying. Yeah, that's... Encouraging that is not wise, but discouraging it... I've seen a lot of those videos, right? I've watched a lot of them.
Starting point is 01:55:47 I had, what is his name? The guy that's... That we had on the show. Super strong fingers. James Kingston. James Kingston, who's a very nice guy, who has done a lot of things online that have freaked me the fuck out.
Starting point is 01:55:59 He was a really nice guy. I don't want to tell that guy he can't do something that I enjoyed watching that he succeeded in doing. I don't want him tell that guy he can't do something that I enjoyed watching that he succeeded in doing. I don't want him to land on me either. You know, it's like, I mean, how much time and effort have you done into cleaning up the bottom area where you might fall? Because you're going to fall. If you fall, okay, I'm not saying you're going to fall.
Starting point is 01:56:19 But if you fall, you might fall on somebody. Okay, this is different. Fuck this. This is not good for me Get down we gotta get down from here. We're gonna get down slow. No stop. Don't walk on the top Don't talk about it. We got away with it. We got away with it Just thinking just in all in the interest of full disclosure we got way too high before the show legal weed that's why you know what it is um also that um that fucking um the weed that we used to have before sober October and the weed after sober October is different, different stuff. And I think the combination of those two things, the combination of
Starting point is 01:57:14 taking a month off and then trying some new different stuff, there's different stuff. It's different. Yeah. But your tolerance also restarted. Yeah. It's not good right now. Sketchy. You gotta be careful. I got a gingerly, gingerly walk into the water. It's different. Yeah, but your tolerance also restarted. Yeah, it's not good right now. Sketchy. You got to be careful. I got to gingerly walk into the waters. One month, it cleanses you. Oh, yeah. It cleanses you.
Starting point is 01:57:34 It's amazing how fast it cleanses, like, three days. If I haven't smoked in three days and I smoke a joint, I'm, like, so stoned, like, out of my gourd. Yeah. I still can't remember what I wanted to say about South Africa. I knew it had something to do with apartheid and the struggle in that area and how strange it is. Africa in itself. Chappie? What's that?
Starting point is 01:57:54 Someone said Chappie. Chappie? Oh, that was another movie? That was a D. Antwoord one. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. That's right. That wasn't as good.
Starting point is 01:58:03 D. Antwoord came out strong. They're interesting. That Yolani, how do you say her? Yolanda? Yolani. Yolani? Yolandi Fusser? How do you say her name?
Starting point is 01:58:14 Yolani. How do you say it? I think it's Yolani. Yolana. Yolandi. Yolandi. Yolandi. Yolandi Visser.
Starting point is 01:58:22 That's it. Yolandi Visser. She reminds me of like Bingo. Yeah. What movie was that? Chappie. Chappie. Mm.
Starting point is 01:58:34 Do you know that they, they were like, you know, they're like the main characters of the movie, but they said something or they, to the, about the director
Starting point is 01:58:42 or the, the studio. They did, they got in a fight so they took them off the poster and everything that's why they're not on any of the posters even though they're like main characters oh that's unfortunate yeah that sucks see that's why people like d antwood they're a little too raw they need like a slick talking manager like listen we're doing we're dealing with artists here ultimately they don't really mean what they say it's just the same explosive nature that lives inside them lets them create such amazing music that you're a fan of and I'm a fan of
Starting point is 01:59:10 Sometimes it gets haywire, and he would just like to come in and apologize for bitch-slapping you Telling you to suck his dick Just was all wrong. Yeah, I mean they didn't even market it that Dean outward was in it. That's crazy Yeah, that seems like a mistake. It seems like you don't like money But who knows who knows what they're really like you know that would be the big bummer right you meet him in their dicks Okay, me and Duncan hung out with them really smell like armpits Whose armpits though some some people's armpits smoke lovely. It's like that one year you took deodorant off. It wasn't a whole year.
Starting point is 01:59:47 It's like a week. It just seemed like a year. It was like Ari's DMT trip. I remember with the E3, you were just making waves of smell. Yeah, you can't do it. You just can't not wear deodorant. I tried for a little while. It's weird. a while it's weird is it interesting too that we've all just accepted that we have to put chemicals on certain parts of our body in order not to smell after you've been moving around for too long
Starting point is 02:00:13 that's weird man like have you ever shaved your armpits once by mistake bad idea i wonder how much of an effect it must have some effect on what your armpits smell like has to yeah yeah for sure but you can't do it
Starting point is 02:00:32 unless you're unless you're a bodybuilder like there's things you could do like if my chest itches I'll shave my chest and I'm embarrassed to say it
Starting point is 02:00:40 but I'll do it especially if it gets itchy after a while I don't fuck with my armpits, bro. That's vain. What about guys that shave their arms that don't have, like, tats? I think I heard something like Carrot Top or someone saying he shaves his arms. He just does it because he likes the feeling.
Starting point is 02:00:54 I hate the feel. Well, Carrot Top used to be a super bodybuilder jack guy. Remember? I think he said he did it one time when he was a swimmer and he just liked the feeling. So he was just like, fuck it. Ah, slippery. Slippery, fuck it. Slippery. Slippery through that pool. Slippery sliding.
Starting point is 02:01:10 I oil up. I oil up before I swim. So he's not buff anymore? He's back to normal? He's still buff. He's just not a giant bodybuilder guy. Creepy buff. He, I don't want to talk for him
Starting point is 02:01:25 because I don't know him, but I know Duncan did something with him a long time ago. They did a pilot for some sort of a reality show. That's right. Like, hey man, I'm going to do this reality show
Starting point is 02:01:33 with Carrot Top. Yeah, that's Carrot Top at his jackety jackest. And that's like a normal Carrot Top. But that's, I think it's more what he's like now. He's like more like, looks fit.
Starting point is 02:01:44 That looks like Kathy Gray. Yeah, but like back then, he looked like super duper jacked. Like his shoulders were popping out unnaturally wide. Like it didn't even make sense. Like right there. Yeah. He went off the deep end. It looked like he had, I mean, he's so big.
Starting point is 02:02:02 Who knows what the fuck he was doing. But he was doing a lot of shit. That shoulder does not look, it looks like implants. Yeah. It could be something called synthol that some bodybuilders engage in. And what it does, they think it helps them balance out areas of their body that aren't big enough. And it's real weird because there's a ton of videos of people taking you know the videos of people putting synthol on their muscles and dancing around that's not no that's just him
Starting point is 02:02:32 looking buff that doesn't look anything nearly as bad we're looking at uh carrot top where you can see his dick root it goes the photo goes all the way down to what I like to call that's what I call it that's my name exactly when I describe that look to people where a man has his underwear at the very base of his cock that's your dick root that's a beautiful term
Starting point is 02:02:59 thank you by the way I demand 100% credit for dick root. Dick root. I created it because I was trying to figure out how to describe what was uncomfortable about those kind of pictures. It's like, you're trying so hard. And, like, that's dick root. That's dick root all the way, Carrot Top.
Starting point is 02:03:17 Diggity, diggity dick root. It looks like he has a thong on. It doesn't even look like it should be possible with the laws of gravity. It looks like that thing should fall down your ankles. What's the bell doing? And a freckled boner should come rocketing at the screen like a 3D shark in Jaws 3D. Jaws 3D. But he's just jacked.
Starting point is 02:03:39 I mean, he's just a guy who wants everybody to suck his dick. It's just like letting you know it's right there. It's right there. That makes sense. But it's just like letting you know it's right there. It's right there. That makes sense. But I mean, but he's just Jack. That makes sense. But what doesn't make sense is the people would stick the oil in their arms and they would create like water balloons where their muscles should be.
Starting point is 02:03:57 And they would dance around. And there's one video of a guy like throwing punches in the air with these water balloons for arms. It's so weird. It's so strange. Dick root. A dick root. Remember that.
Starting point is 02:04:13 There's a bunch of people that have those pictures, those dick root pictures. Yeah, I see. Dane Cook loves the dick root. He's a handsome fellow. He always posts the most funniest photos. Works hard in the gym. Wants to show the goods. Oh, no.
Starting point is 02:04:25 Yeah, this guy. This guy 100% is using that stuff. Or he's got two equally sized tumors. Does he think that looks good? Well, he's probably mentally deficient, Brian. That's true. There's probably something severely wrong with him. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 02:04:38 Yeah. Now, if he was balancing on top of a skyscraper at the same time, it would be even worse. See, the thing about this young man is, you know, there's probably something severely wrong with him. But what he is is an abuser. Look at him. He's throwing punches like he's some sort of a boxer character with his giant water balloon arms.
Starting point is 02:04:57 But he's an abuser of something. How many people are a more reasonable user of it and use it? And that's what somebody thought the Carrot Top stuff was. It's real common. Yeah, he's a powerful arm wrestle guy. Has one arm that's way more jacked than the other. That's so crazy. Yeah, that can't be good for you, bro.
Starting point is 02:05:16 Oh, my God. That's real? Yep. Yep. He smashes people in arm wrestling. It's so crazy. I don't want to see his dick root. Like, come on, man.
Starting point is 02:05:25 What is that? Don't do that, dude. He's probably going to be hurting when he gets older. Yes, Brian might know because he likes this topic. Have you heard of the Korean Hulk guy that's supposedly dating Lindsay Lohan right now? And all of a sudden this shows TMZ. Jamie jumps in with relationship gossip. You son of a bitch.
Starting point is 02:05:44 That's what you do every time well they posted a photo last night Jamie and you know she's dealing with the IRS right now
Starting point is 02:05:51 oh that guy's super jacked holy shit look at his dog what is that he's living with a werewolf that's like a monkey werewolf I tell you man I love Koreans
Starting point is 02:06:01 we had a family dinner for my girlfriend the other day and i come in and they're cupping they're doing that thing where they they like puncture a little hole and then they they put these glasses and they pretty much suck the bad blood out of you so i walk in and there's just blood everywhere and towels and and shit like that what is it supposed to do it's supposed to we've talked about this before right right? It's supposed to accelerate blood flow to the area, like pulls the tissue, the skin away from it and accelerates blood flow.
Starting point is 02:06:30 Sometimes the blood comes out as gel, which is weird. It's supposed to, but there's, what I didn't know is a lot, because I posted a video of it while they were doing it. A lot of people were saying that cupping's bad for you. And then I did research. If it goes bad, it goes bad. It leaves permanent damage did research there's if it goes bad it goes bad it leaves permanent damage if they if they don't do it right and really yeah if there's some photos that are pretty disturbing where like pretty much just holes in people's backs oh fuck yeah but yet then the olympians do it you know like people that people for the olympics do it so it's like what's
Starting point is 02:07:01 you know well i don't know shit about medicine, but I would imagine. Oh, my God. What is that? Cup had gone bad. Chinese man left with horrific holes in back after botched. Whoa. That's awful. Well, somebody, that could be just somebody who did it completely wrong.
Starting point is 02:07:19 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's that one in the far right where it looks like it has horns? Lower right, lower right, the bottom. Keep going. Scroll down, scroll down, scroll down. That What's that one in the far right where it looks like it has horns? Lower right. Lower right. The bottom. Keep going. Scroll down. Scroll down. Scroll down.
Starting point is 02:07:28 That one. To the right. In the middle with the orange and the blue. The right. All the way to the right. Jamie, the other right. I don't know which one you're looking at. The edge of the screen. Go to the edge of the screen.
Starting point is 02:07:36 That guy. Bam. Yeah. Looks like he's got horns. I think that's real. Oh. That's why I wasn't even looking at it. Oh, no.
Starting point is 02:07:43 It says water buffalo horns are being used for it, but I still don't know if it's... They're just using buffalo horns as cups. Oh, what? Cupping with buffalo horns? That's what Rogan does. Yo, bro, I do that right at the base of my balls. My dick root. What made sense to me is that you would kind of create damage, which is why all that blood exists.
Starting point is 02:08:02 is that you would kind of like create damage, which is why all that blood exists. And that maybe that it would be like almost like a PRP sort of a thing where all that extra blood that you've created from that area would go and help the blood flow to the part that's injured and it would accelerate healing.
Starting point is 02:08:18 You never know, man, because you can't say that people that are in the Olympics don't ever do anything stupid because they definitely would do something stupid. Someone could talk to me to doing a bunch of shit. Sometimes like the psychological edge and believing that there's something that's going to work really good will be just enough to get a few people to do it. But this has been around for a while.
Starting point is 02:08:38 This has been around long enough where people are going like, you know, there's like really significant benefits. Yeah. So the water buffalo thing's real. Yeah. They really do it that way. Yeah. It's almost like traditional for, I guess, Korean culture. Because, I mean, they were just doing it like it was nothing.
Starting point is 02:08:53 I had a family dinner. That's crazy. That's crazy. But maybe that works. You know, I mean, the only way you find out if stuff like this works, which is like a really unconventional therapy, is you got to try it. If all those super genius type guys that are training these Olympic athletes and getting them to peak performance and what could potentially be worth millions and millions of dollars in sponsorship money if they win the gold medal, if they're having
Starting point is 02:09:19 these people get all cupped up, there's probably something to it. Right? In this day and age? I think it's like acupuncture. I feel like I don't know enough to know if that's accurate or not. It seems like it is. Some people believe in it a lot because they pay a lot of money for it, do it all the time. Yeah, for sure. A lot of people do believe in acupuncture. But cupping seems to me
Starting point is 02:09:38 to be like more next level. It's like you're pulling the skin away from the area to the point where it bleeds and turns into the big ass bruise like this giant circle red spot where the increased blood flow hasn't been filtered out of the body yet like you got some weird shit happened there that ain't a normal thing you got a big circle bruise on your back right where you're hurt oh i see what you're doing you're making it all bleed in there so it flows everything out of there and heals it up quicker it kind of makes sense to a dummy like me like i don't know anything about how the actual
Starting point is 02:10:08 body functions in terms of like how things heal and whether or not it would accelerate or not but that michael phelps guy's doing it yeah when i asked him how you know how's it feel afterwards he says uh it's refreshing i feel way energetic now and relaxed well it's like people that wanted to uh deny the benefits of cryotherapy before, like some papers came out. There's a lot of people poo pooing and partly for good reason. It's because a lot of the people that were running these cryotherapy sites got overzealous in their claims.
Starting point is 02:10:38 They got real overzealous in their claims of like how much weight you can lose, how much better you can look, all these different things that may or may not be true when it comes to cryotherapy, especially in the way they described it. But what can't be denied is the way it makes you feel. It makes you feel fucking amazing. You do three minutes in one of those cryotherapy places, you come out of there like, woo.
Starting point is 02:11:03 Everybody I know that's tried it has been like, woo! Like, I'll give a lot for that woo. Like, that woo's good. But everybody's right to be suspicious because the part before the woo was annoying. There was a lot of, like, increased collagen in your skin. It's like a virtual facelift. And there's a lot of people claiming something.
Starting point is 02:11:22 Like, no. Where's the... You've got to be able to prove that. But they can prove anti-inflammatory markers in the blood. facelift and like there's a lot of people that claim it's like no where's this you gotta you gotta be able to prove that but they can prove anti-inflammatory markers in the blood they can prove all these like um hormones and these um neurochemicals that your brain can can make when you're uh you're in that tank we're in the uh cryotherapy um chamber rather you done yet? No. You want to do it today? No. Get you to do it today. I will definitely do it.
Starting point is 02:11:52 I'll definitely do it. Just today I don't feel great. Don't be a pussy. Maybe it'll make you feel better. I had a milkshake last night. Two minutes in there. Woke up at six in the morning. This whole podcast has been a ruse to get me to get you into the cryotherapy chamber.
Starting point is 02:12:07 I don't want to do a couple sesh. You can't. You're too big. You're too big. Someone's going to burn. You'll touch the walls. You'll touch the walls. But people do go in as couples, but you've got to be right close to each other.
Starting point is 02:12:20 Yeah, people like to endure shit together. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. I heard you have a tank here now, though. Yes, we do. That's cool did a Crash yeah crash made a float lab shout out to the float lab float lab Venice Westwood. Yeah crash put it in there He's a wizard. He knows how to do it it's all crazy filter with ozone and Yeah, UV light filters and one micron Phil. He was explaining it all to me. It was like
Starting point is 02:12:52 Sounds good. It sounds like you did good shit I'm too fucking dumb plus. I can't pay attention to everything. That's problem, man That's how I feel when people keep bringing up Bitcoin I was like, you know, let me know when you get this sorted out because I watch a lot of things. I can't follow the Bitcoin show. I can't. I just can't. So when we got those Bitcoins, remember when he gave us Bitcoins a long time ago? Who gave us Bitcoins?
Starting point is 02:13:16 Andreas Anthropoulos? Right. I've been trying to open up my wallet or find my password to that wallet. It's gone. I'll never be able to get that Bitcoin that he gave me. Let the universe have it. Let it be a statistical anomaly. It's probably worth billions of dollars.
Starting point is 02:13:32 Millions! Millions! For now. It's like you get in and get out and people are accusing people of pumping dumps and subterfuge is taken into consideration of some of the highs and lows. Some things that happen anyway. Of course. Just like everything, right?
Starting point is 02:13:47 Like big corporations taking over shit. It's like these patterns are normal. You see them coming. If you're gonna have something like Bitcoin, you're gonna have people. For sure. Not everyone's gonna be, well, hey man, I'm a fucking thief. But not with Bitcoin.
Starting point is 02:14:03 Bitcoin would be super cool. No more deception. This is about the future. It's about resolution. This is about the children. No, anybody who's a scam artist is going to be a scam artist in anything they can, whether it's a fake religion or a fake dating site or fucking whatever. Whatever they can do.
Starting point is 02:14:22 Whatever they can get you with. They're going to get you with. They're like, oh, this is what you guys do now? Okay'll pretend to be that i'll hop right in there right what do you think is the next big breakthrough that's going to change in terms of like how technology and people get along He's gonna be a robot sex doll No, I think home home Assistance, you know like having a robot could be your home base like computer I don't know like these Alexis and like Apple's about to release theirs, and Google has released theirs.
Starting point is 02:15:06 Have you seen the autonomous robots that monitor parking lots? No. Yeah, I tweeted it, I think, yesterday. But definitely robots. We're going to give up our security and all our privacy at the same time. We're going to be fine
Starting point is 02:15:24 because the robot's going to be watching us. Keep an eye on me, robot. There's going to be zero privacy. Zero. It's real close. It's already there. But I mean real close. They're not just regular zero privacy, but no one ever has a moment alone ever.
Starting point is 02:15:39 It doesn't exist anymore. It'll slowly erode, then you go into the mountains, then they'll put cell phone towers out there and then that's gonna be it. Whatever the technology is, it's gonna be, you're gonna know where everyone is at any moment and we're gonna really get to know each other. What do you got, Jamie? I was looking up for the thing.
Starting point is 02:16:00 I saw, it wasn't on your Twitter feed, I guess. I saw a video of like autonomous parking robots moving cars in and out of spots. I didn't put it on Twitter. I thought I did. Shit. It was a comp, I'm pretty sure I retweeted it. You know what it is, though?
Starting point is 02:16:16 I think I retweeted somebody else saying, hey, this is happening, or something like that. So it's probably not that clear. One of the more recent tweets. What's happening, Brian? They're going to be flying around us, monitoring us. You saw that one robot, I think it was in San Francisco beat up homeless people or something like that. Good move.
Starting point is 02:16:35 When stuff like that happens, there's going to be a big pullback. It's crazy. Robots fucking homeless people. We need robots picking on the downtrodden. That's a good move. Let them know. You pussies are on your way out. The robots are here. I mean, that literally is like the first wave of immigrants from the silicone world.
Starting point is 02:16:53 Robots that fuck with homeless people. The first invaders. Tripping them and stuff. I-Robot. The thing about I-Robot is you'd watch it, and it was made just at the right time. It was made where you didn't think it's ever possible. It's made at a time where this is pretty cool. Like, yeah, man, the future.
Starting point is 02:17:12 Yeah, I could see it being real. But you didn't think it was really possible. And now you watch I-Robot, and you go, oh, it's inevitable. That's inevitable. That thing that does the robot thing where it pretends to be a person and looks real freaky, that's easily doable. Machima? Or was that Machinima?
Starting point is 02:17:30 What's that one? There it is. With the hot shit. That's it. Security robots are being used to ward off San Francisco's homeless population. That's the drone. What's it called? Who makes that thing?
Starting point is 02:17:40 Does it say? They retired it. Yeah. Oh, they did because there's a there's a whole company that makes those things and has them like wandering around parking lots and i'm man i hope i retweeted it i tried to um somebody sent it to me and i was like okay that's how it happens they just have these things wandering around recording everything so everybody's responsible for any car accident anything that ever happens.
Starting point is 02:18:05 If it hears someone screaming rape, if it hears someone screaming police, it immediately goes to the scene and films. It has no worries about its own mortality. It's streaming in real time. It gets to record all altercations between people. Eventually hotels agree. As long as this is password secure and encrypted, they allow it to have the fire detector in the corner double as a video camera that records everything in the room at all times.
Starting point is 02:18:32 It's going to happen. Yeah, I agree. Just got to get used to people watching you fuck. Are you ready? I took the sticker off my webcam on my laptop a long time ago, Joe. They can watch me all I want I don't know why I'm more nervous about this in 2018 this is what's silly I mean it's become accelerated like I'm more nervous every year when it comes to technology
Starting point is 02:18:55 because I'm not nervous in it in the way that I think it's totally 100% negative but nervous in the way like it just seems to me that we might be in the middle of something and not be paying attention like that it's happening so fucking fast that we're caught up in it and it's just this wild wave of change and i'm just trying to make sense of it while it's happening but then there's something about like numbers like i i used to think that saying like the year 2017 2000 it's stupid who cares what year it is it's all just But no, there's like a way we feel about it differently. Like, it's fucking 2018, dude, dude. It's like you have a feeling about you now.
Starting point is 02:19:34 It's like we're very, very far ahead in this game. This is the future. 2018, that's a crazy number. Hey, man, it's 1979. Nope, it's 2018. Whoa. So weird. So weird.
Starting point is 02:19:52 And when does this thing, like, if you had to guess, how much longer does the human race have? Six months. Seems like it. No, if you really had to guess. We're not going to be here forever, right? So we're not going to be here 100,000 years from now or 200,000 years from now. We're just not. I started listening to the audio book of Sapiens.
Starting point is 02:20:14 Yeah. And I feel like that's what it's getting to, that question you're asking. Yeah. Because the first couple chapters are leading up to, like, he says it over and over again, like thousands of years from now, maybe 2000 is what it's saying, that the human race won't be, or human beings won't be what we are today. We'll be another evolution of whatever that is
Starting point is 02:20:33 off of Australopithecus. Yeah, Australopithecus. Australopithecus. See if you find any good pictures of that thing. I mean, that's just what they think. They think that that's what started it. That was when it was fairly distinctly human. It's going to keep going.
Starting point is 02:20:48 It's going to go to some new thing. There it is. Look at that thing. I mean, that's so close. It's like a walking upright chimpanzee. And then that got smarter and that got smarter and things kept going. But the thing that really fucks you up is it's not that long ago. I think Australopithecus was less than 2 million years, right?
Starting point is 02:21:10 Sounds right. And then there's modern Homo sapiens, which I think they think are somewhere in the neighborhood of 300,000 to 500,000 years old. They keep moving it around a little bit when they find some new dead guy. They find some new dead guy they find some new bones and they're like oh this one's older they gotta they're kind of guessing i want to say they're in the neighborhood of 300 000 that ain't shit dude that ain't shit that just happened if that's when they really started that just happened so you're talking about 300 000
Starting point is 02:21:41 years from now oh it. That's crazy. We're going to be made out of gas. We're going to be like those fires that are on petroleum. You won't be able to see us. Our intelligence will be all pervasive. We'll have one operating system that we share with Mother Earth. They'll plug it into our brains. We'll plug into the ground. We'll become divine.
Starting point is 02:22:03 How about that? No? I don't know. That's how I am. You're like, let him go. Just let him. He'll come back. I always wonder what they thought about this 200 years ago, 150 years ago.
Starting point is 02:22:15 What they thought. I feel like they thought that the world was going to end too back then. Yeah. They were probably 25 years away from it ending. Sure. I mean, anytime anything, especially back when there was no media, anytime anything catastrophic happened in your area, you thought that was going to be the end. The moon was made of cheese.
Starting point is 02:22:34 It's really weird how recent that was. That's what's weird. When you just think about hundreds of thousands of years, it seems like a long-ass time. But it's not when you talk about about hundreds of thousands years it seems like a long ass time but it's not when you talk talk about the shape of human beings and what what's happened in that amount of time especially in the last few hundred or few thousand years just all you need is sick if you want to like really impress the shit out of people give me 10 000 years 10 000 years ago and 10 000 years now you're like you'd freak out there's no other time in history that would be the case like every other time in
Starting point is 02:23:10 history 10 000 years would be like whoa oh they figured out how to make cooler houses like whoa oh he's riding an elephant how do you figure that out like whoa oh that bow and arrow is way better than my bow and arrow every 10 000 years no big deal then all of a sudden one 10 000 year period and you have everything you got the pyramids you got space travel you've got the internet you got video photography 3d printers every time you say something like this this uh pops in my head the end of gangs of new york which shows that montage of the 100 years or so of New York changing. That's only 100 years. New York changed from this
Starting point is 02:23:49 crazy nothingness, even though it's really big then, to tons of skyscrapers and bridges and all of what it is today. It wasn't anything close to that back then, and that's 100 years. You're talking about 10,000. That's so much more time compared to 100. That's an amazing montage time lapse what would you call that it's time
Starting point is 02:24:10 lapse look at that that's incredible new york city's a freak out man and even more crazy look at that keeps going yeah and that's even bigger now oh my god twin towers aren't there and yeah new york city is a genuine freakout. Unless you've been, you should go. If you've been and you get it, you're like, yeah, it's nuts. I love going. But if you haven't been, it's a paradigm shifter because you realize that it's possible. It's such a big city.
Starting point is 02:24:36 I've been to a lot of big cities. But New York City is so crazy in the way it's constructed that you go there, you have a different feel about you. You're like, whoa, okay. We're in new york city this is this is different it is different these buildings are fucking giant these people are everywhere this is crazy this is this is a different completely different feeling and different people yeah unfortunately the people are straddled down by the echoes of the immigrants that were their great grandparents and their grandparents and their struggle that they had to get from Europe over to America. This is my thought because this is my own family I'm talking about. I feel like a lot of the Italian immigrants with my grandfather, he came over when he was a boy and his family and on both my mom's and my dad's side they all came over from Europe for either from Ireland or from
Starting point is 02:25:29 Italy and they were all like really aggressive risk-taking people you know and those are the people that built that whole area which is just when you think about like what a crazy accomplishment it is to build this gigantic city from all these immigrants that came over from Europe, you know, from 1700, whatever it is on just constructing all these incredible buildings. Like, it's a very, very bizarre accomplishment. But that same kind of energy, you know, that brought those people over there in the first place would create like, a lot of interpersonal conflict and a lot of aggression i don't know if new york's totally gotten past that i think they have more now than ever before
Starting point is 02:26:10 like they i was reading something about the crime rate that new york's crime rate is the lowest it's been in a long ass time i think we're at the highest right now right la is are you making this up i feel like i just saw something the other day where we've had more homicides this year than recent. You falling asleep? It seems like it. I'm trying to remember. I thought I saw something that was close to that, but I thought the murder rate was down, but violent crime was up or something. We have a police chase.
Starting point is 02:26:37 More pimp slaps than ever. We have three police chases a day on the TV. It's ridiculous how... That sucks. Yeah. Police chases are fucking terrifying because you don't want the cops to just let someone run away or you don't want the cops to slam into
Starting point is 02:26:49 you while they're chasing some guy. You know? Record lows. Yeah. Crime rates in New York City reached record lows. There's an article about it. de Blasio, that's the guy, right? It's just if you don't know that that's possible, go in there and see that it's possible and then realize that it's just if you don't know that that's possible go in there and seeing that it's possible
Starting point is 02:27:05 and then realize that it's only within 100 years that's where it's mind-boggling or 200 years or whatever new york city has been around for in totality what is the world we're experiencing right now going to be like in 100 years i mean our it's it almost seems to me like there's no way we're going to be able to guess. If you look at how quick that accelerated and use that as a pattern, like that kind of happened all across the country. Chicago, L.A., San Francisco, they all were nothing and then everything. Some people say New York won't be here in 100 years because of the water rising up.
Starting point is 02:27:42 Right. Or L.A. That would be crazy. Fuck. Fuck. Well, we have a water crisis in a lot of parts of the water rising up. Right. That would be crazy. Fuck. Fuck. Well, we have a water crisis in a lot of parts of the country. We just got to suck the water out of the ocean and use it to spray all these dry ass bushes so we stop the fires.
Starting point is 02:27:54 Yo, I'm thinking. I'm always thinking. Suck the water out of the ocean. Stop. Look, stop making new houses for a while and start concentrating on sucking the water out of the ocean to put out the fire. Just water all those trees. Suck out the water out of the air. Just get a bunch of humidifiers and then spray the water.
Starting point is 02:28:15 That's not good because then people dry out and then Botox goes up. This is what I think. They've got to figure out how to get the salt out of the water, right? They know how to do it. But you can't just take ocean water and spray it on your lawn, right? Kill your fucking lawn. Won't it? I don't know about that.
Starting point is 02:28:31 It's fake lawn. I don't know. No, but I mean if you have crops in your backyard, say, say if you're growing tomatoes and you decide to water it with ocean water, would that be a bad idea? Yes. It would. The salt would be terrible for it. Right. Why is that?
Starting point is 02:28:47 It would just, the salt would stay. It would kill everything else. It would just erupt. It's like, I don't think that's exactly what rust is, but it would turn into some sort of fucked up chemical compound that isn't grass. Like a hard water? It would kind of poison it. It would be a higher salt content than the plant wants to exist on.
Starting point is 02:29:04 And I think that would be the case with a lot of stuff that doesn't live in the ocean, right? So you'd have to figure out a way to get that salt out. But once you did, that water would be super valuable. Like we're always low on water. And we have too much of it now. Start sucking it out of the ocean. Just use our own need to, like we have a crazy need to use stuff you know a constant need
Starting point is 02:29:27 we have a constant need for consumption so let's consume the water in the ocean suck it out they do it it's just very expensive and it's like they do it in San Diego I think there's a salt water plant or something yeah we just gotta get better at that yeah they need a better process for it
Starting point is 02:29:42 yeah see everybody's concentrating all the money as in robot fuck dolls. They're not spending any time working on this water problem. Elon Musk, get on top of this. Elon, bro. Bro, you got to figure this out, Elon. It could be done. And cancer. Cancer first.
Starting point is 02:29:59 I think cancer can be severely mitigated in some circumstances by diet. And I think that's the thing to concentrate on first before a pill. Brian, that's a problem. CRISPR. CRISPR. Imagine if there was a way you could just eat shit all day and be jacked. Like Jeremiah Watkins. No, poor Jeremiah.
Starting point is 02:30:17 Don't even say that. 30 pounds. Well, let's explain to everybody what you're talking about. So we do that Kill Tony show, and Jeremiah Watkins and Tony Hinchcliffe kind of copied, like, you know, like the Tom Zagora formula, but backwards to see how much weight they can gain in a month. gained muscle weight, where Jeremiah just ate like shit for 30 days and gained 30 pounds in 30 days, where Tony only gained 2.5 pounds, I think it was. Yeah, it says just over 3 pounds. Yeah. Yeah, 30 pounds to Tony Hinchcliffe, who gained just over 3 pounds.
Starting point is 02:30:59 Jeremiah will now get to host Kill Tony Show and keep his hair. Yeah, the bullshit was the bet, though. And one of the most funniest nights I've had in a long time was you calling out Tony about how it's not fair. If Jeremiah lost, he had to shave his head. Well, this is what I said. I said, this is not an even bet. Like, you guys should both be betting the same thing.
Starting point is 02:31:19 Like, if Jeremiah wins, all he does is get to sit down in a seat for like a day. He gets to host an episode of the podcast. He gets to sit in a seat so everybody knows it's funny. But if he won or if you won, he has to shave his fucking head. Like that's crazy. And Jeremiah has nice long hair where Tony has really short hair. It would have grown back in like a day.
Starting point is 02:31:42 No, no, no. Jeremiah's hair seems like kind of a part of who he is. Yes's like he's got silly hair he's this big silly fella and uh he likes his haircut it just but he was willing to do it and i told tony i was like fuck that i go look dude you gotta you guys have to have the same bet i go why are you scared to shave your head it'd be amazing and i go how about this how about even better you don't have to shave your head you have to wear lipstick on stage for a year tony said that. Didn't Tony bring it up? No, I said, that was my joke. You don't remember what I did. I said it. And then after I was trying to force him into doing it because he didn't want to do it. I go, you know what's fucked up? It was
Starting point is 02:32:17 Tony's idea. I just threw him under the bridge. I was like, I don't know why you want to wear lipstick, man. This is weird. Oh my god, I thought he really did bring it up. No, no, no, no. Do you remember I was saying that and everybody was dying laughing? The reason why everybody was dying laughing was because they knew I was just fucking with them. I was like, it was his idea, which is so weird. No, but the idea was you would have to go on stage
Starting point is 02:32:39 and then once you're on stage, you have to put lipstick on or we would decide that you had to have it on when you walked out to the crowd. Either or. We didn't decide. And then you're on stage, you have to put lipstick on or we would decide that you had to have it on when you walked out to the crowd. Either or. We didn't decide. And then you could take it off after 15 minutes. So if you were doing like a headliner set somewhere, you're doing an hour. For the first 15 minutes, you're wearing makeup.
Starting point is 02:33:01 about that beautiful red lipstick is that it would make you concentrate on a joke about why the fuck you were willing to make a bet, how you lost the bet, and then rationalize away about how come chapstick's okay, but lipstick ain't? How come girls
Starting point is 02:33:17 get to wear lipstick, bro? What the fuck are we doing, man? What is this? That would have been so funny if he had to wear lipstick for a year. It would have been hilarious. Jeez. He wouldn't, I told him I would do it too.
Starting point is 02:33:30 Yeah, you got him. Yeah, I said I'd do it. I said I'll do it too. Come on, we'll all do it together. Don't be scared. Take a bet. Yeah. It's not a hard bet.
Starting point is 02:33:38 It's funny. You'd have to, you'd have to like have the lipstick years photos or every time you're on stage. And this is what you have. You have like, you have like a package of wet photos. Every time you're on stage, this is what you have. You have a package of wet wipes with you you bring on stage and a dry white towel. And everybody knows you have 15 minutes of lipstick time.
Starting point is 02:33:54 You might grow to like it. You might start getting your nails did and everything. You definitely could come up with bits from it. It could be possible. And it would be fun for people to go along with. But Tony can't handle that. Tony's scared. I feel like he's scared, right?
Starting point is 02:34:13 I think he should at least shave his head. He should have shaved his head. He should have had a deal. Obviously, he has way more beautiful hair than I do. But I feel like if I had good hair, I would shave it off because I knew it would come back. Tony has super short hair. That's not Tony Hinchcliffe, man. You son of a bitch.
Starting point is 02:34:30 That's Eddie Izzard. Is Eddie Izzard living as a woman now? Someone told me that. Oh, really? Yeah. Yep. Well, it's not necessarily living as a woman. It still looks like Eddie Izzard with lipstick and a dress.
Starting point is 02:34:47 I don't know. Eddie Izzard will have my respect for all his days. Because Eddie Izzard ran a marathon a day with no training all around Ireland. Do you know about that thing? No. Dude. He didn't even prepare for it. He didn't even prepare for it. Did he just finish it? Yes. He did it all. He rode a marathon a day
Starting point is 02:35:14 for like four weeks or something crazy. Right? Wasn't it? Dude, his feet were literally falling apart. Like, they would show them cleaning up his feet and taking care of his skin. It was just torn to pieces man it was just straight raw mental toughness and a resolve that i mean you think about him you think about him as a comedian a funny guy a thoughtful guy and he had that odd
Starting point is 02:35:39 thing that he was doing where he was wearing women's clothes and all that stuff 27 marathons in 27 days yeah you don't you don't really know what that guy's about until you watch this documentary that you can watch online um what is it is there a name for it where people can search it it's amazing man you'll find it so um what he did was, I don't even remember what the charity was. Do you remember what the charity was? It was some sort of a charity if he did the 27 marathons. I think he only took a couple days off. Here and there, there were days where he literally couldn't walk.
Starting point is 02:36:20 I feel like he did this twice. To Jesus Christ. This says he did 43 marathons in 51 days oh my god that might be the new thing he did it again I bet it was marathon man
Starting point is 02:36:34 oh my god so he did it before he did less and then he came back and did it again somebody told me about it a few years ago but it was after the fact I didn't know he's done it twice guy's a fucking animal he's an animal then he came back and did it again. Somebody told me about it a few years ago, but it was after the fact. I didn't know he's done it twice. Guy's a fucking animal. He's an animal.
Starting point is 02:36:51 I mean, that's just crazy. But then I read something unrelated. I read something that he was living as a woman, but that might not be real. He might just feel like wearing a dress that day. He's Eddie Izzard. You run 53 marathons, whatever the fuck fuck he did you can do whatever you want dude maybe his dick fell off he did this in 2016 and then the first one was in 2009
Starting point is 02:37:12 ah ok that makes sense because the 2009 one I think I found out about around 2012 or something like that I remember watching it thinking that's a kind of mental toughness that very few people have. I don't think I have it.
Starting point is 02:37:28 To run that many marathons in that many days. Not even one. You might have to force yourself into that. Two on the last day. Two in the last day. Jesus Christ. What? He ran a double marathon on the last day.
Starting point is 02:37:42 So that was the toughest day of my life. Holy shit, dude. Day five, he had to take off to go to the hospital. So he had to make up one. Oh, my God. He had to go to the hospital to get his kidneys checked out. So on day 27, I ran my 26th and my 27th marathon. Double marathon on the last day.
Starting point is 02:37:59 So that was the toughest day of my life. I'm telling you, man, that is not a regular person. A guy who's not like a Cam Haynes type guy who's in shape, who can just do like Cam Haynes can run a marathon a day and it's not hard. Like if he, no bullshit. If he wanted to go and do 27 marathons in 27 days, he'd be like, yeah, I've done that already. He could just do it. He can go do that. But, but Eddie Izzard was not, he wasn't planning for that. He, like, he didn't get in shape before he did it.
Starting point is 02:38:29 Unless he did the second time. I might be wrong about the second time. But the first time he did it, he didn't get in shape for it. And to see him run in those 27 marathons, it's just like, it's all just mental toughness. He just forced his body to keep moving. What does it say here? He's going into politics in 2020. Oh shit, king of the world, Eddie Izzard. Maybe he's the first transgender president.
Starting point is 02:38:51 If he decides to go for it. Eh, we'll fix that. Well, president of where they live. He also did all these marathons in South Africa where the weather was a bit hotter than it would be in the UK. Yeah, listen to D'Antwerp music and ducking crocodiles. Wow.
Starting point is 02:39:10 So he's going to go into a... Yeah, his reasoning here, he says, that's why I pulled that up. Wow. So he's doing these races just to get people to pay attention? Yeah, it's the messages behind. He's not really into racing. That's interesting. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 02:39:29 Interesting. He's a very thoughtful guy. But what impressed me the most is not just like the words that he strings together and how he says things, which is always impressive, but someone who can do that. Like, that is not normal. That's extraordinary.
Starting point is 02:39:46 Because he's, it would be extraordinary for someone who's in great shape. Like a person who is like a, you know, world class, like that Courtney DeWalter lady. If she ran 27 marathons in 27 days, it would still be remarkably impressive. It is just the amount of time that you have to spend running every day for 27 days. That shit is impressive. That's just impressive. But to do it when you're just a guy who's a comic. And you're not even in shape.
Starting point is 02:40:19 He wasn't even thin. He had like a bit of a belly. He wasn't leaned by any stretch of the imagination didn't look like a runner does he still do comedy I feel like I haven't seen or heard about him in a long time I think we're guilty over here of not paying attention to what happens in comedy anywhere else in the world you know I somebody has like beat me over the head with somebody that's really funny from somewhere else for me to pay attention I just saw that they have roast battle now in the uk there he goes eddie isard believe
Starting point is 02:40:48 me tour not that it matters but finally if he's a woman shows in french whoa of course he's a genius guys doing shows in french this show is in french the show is in french so fuck man i'm gonna go there with those google pixel headsets I was in French. So, fuck, man. I'm going to go there with those Google Pixel headsets. It's all his stuff in French? Yeah, man.
Starting point is 02:41:13 That's where originally I got the idea of us being able to communicate with plants. I figured this is step one. Step one is the Google Pixel earbuds that let you listen to someone speak Spanish in real time translated to English. Step two is they figure out some sort of a universal code that the plant world is willing to accept, and we start communicating a universal code that the plant world is willing to accept and we start communicating back and forth to the plant world. Step three, they develop a headset, some sort of a neural
Starting point is 02:41:31 interface with a human being when they put this thing on and you go out to the forest and you communicate with the trees. Their frequency. I see that. 100%. Why not? All you have to do is get them to, they're obviously communicating with themselves. There's some form of communication between plants.
Starting point is 02:41:48 This has been proven. There's a bunch of weird shit they do. They change the way they taste based on whether or not they hear things going on in the distance. They'll hear someone eating them in the distance, and they'll change the way they taste. They catch things downwind. The smell of them getting consumed by another animal will change the way they taste. That was the case with the ca acacia bush and giraffes. They found that giraffes that were eating these acacia bushes upwind. Upwind?
Starting point is 02:42:14 When it's downwind. Yeah, down. Upwind. When they would eat them, the smell of them consuming them would come downwind and it would change the flavor profile of all these other trees. They would turn nasty tasting to avoid the giraffes from eating them. That's crazy. Dude. So then they figured out that they could play the sound of caterpillars munching leaves
Starting point is 02:42:36 right next to the tree and it would have the same effect. Wow. Yeah. So somehow or another, they know what it sounds like when they're eating. I wonder if they try everything, like, we're going to have sex with this tree and just see what happens. Tickle the tree. Vegans are super not happy about plants being alive. I'm thinking.
Starting point is 02:42:57 You bring it up, they get so triggered. It is one of the most triggering things is plant intelligence research. Because they want to claim moral superiority. They want to claim that, you to claim that you know la la la i can't hear the plant there's that cabbage is screaming when you pull it out of the ground you fuck screaming for its family the interconnectedness with the mycelium and the soil it's beautiful yeah that but i think what's going to fix veganism honestly is that uh robot meat that that artificial lab created meat that's going to fix it people are going to realize like oh you're healthier this way your body has more vitality it's going to be extinct veganism is going to be extinct in the future yeah as soon as they come up with super ethical meat there's going
Starting point is 02:43:42 to be no reason for it everybody's going to go well dude i feel so much better when i eat steak it's just fuck like it's it's there's obviously a reason why we're having all this debate it's not like it's crystal clear one way or another it's like it's not good that an animal dies so that you live that's not good that doesn't feel good but it's not good if they get overpopulated either. Again, that's not good either. You know, I was reading this thing about, um, there's an animal called an owl dad. It's like a sheep. And, um, they, uh, imported them to Texas a long time ago and they don't taste good to eat apparently, or maybe a lot of people are eating them the wrong way. So because of that, they don't hunt them a eat apparently or maybe a lot of people are eating them the wrong way so because of that they don't hunt them a lot or if they do hunt them it's not like the same way they hunt white-tailed deer or something like that and they live in these like difficult to
Starting point is 02:44:33 get to remote parts of like west texas and shit and so then some of them the ranchers have taken to like firing guns out of helicopters to get rid of them. Like, this is crazy. Like, you have animals that you're hunting with helicopters that you brought over here from another place. What do they look like? They're cool-looking, man. They look like some sort of a Star Wars-type goat creature, sheep creature. They have amazing horns.
Starting point is 02:45:02 They have these enormous horns. But apparently they just can't figure out a way to make them taste good This is from everybody that I know that's tried to eat them give it to an Asian now figure it out It's probably good call One of this there must be somebody that thinks they taste good and knows to do but pull up a picture of an hour dad Sheep it's like what were you looking for? I have an have an Awasi sheep. No, no. It's like, it's called Awadad. They're like one of the few animals that are like universally thought to taste like shit. Wow. From people that hunt them.
Starting point is 02:45:32 But they're here and they have to control their population. So what do you do about them? What do you do about wild pigs? What do you do about animals that get to the, unless you want to let predators lose. That's it right there. Look at that picture. Oh, that's a stone sheep. No, it's owadad.
Starting point is 02:45:45 It's like, how do you spell it? Ow. W-A-D-A-D. Yeah. I only have a picture of those fuckers. Owadad hunt Texas. Type in that because they're very popular to hunt in Texas. But I don't think a lot of people, ooh, owadad hunt Texas.
Starting point is 02:46:03 Yeah. Aha. Those are deer. That's not the same thing. a lot of people. Ooh, Aladat Hunt, Texas. Yeah. Uh-huh. Mm, those are, um, deer. Okay. That's not the same thing.
Starting point is 02:46:09 What about that? How do you spell that Aladat word? Al- None of these things are the Aladat. Aladat has like big,
Starting point is 02:46:15 thick, um, horns. Say it to Siri and see what she comes up with. Well, either way.
Starting point is 02:46:23 I'll find it. Um, what, what would you do with all the... If we did figure out a way to never have an animal suffer again, but we could all eat meat, what would you do with all the animals that existed? That would be a giant dilemma. Like, how many people would say, yeah, you know what? That's all well and good, but I want a cow that just got killed.
Starting point is 02:46:42 I want a real cow that's really alive. It makes me think and feel better. What happened to that? Is that it? No, that's close. It's someone else. That's some sort of feral sheep. Awapara.
Starting point is 02:46:54 That's weird that they don't have Aladad. I can't find it. Maybe try a different spelling. Aladad sheep hunt Texas. Anyway. The delicate balance of of prey and predator. How do you manage that? If you have certain populations of these animals just running loose.
Starting point is 02:47:14 Somebody sent me a video. That's it. I just took the word off. It's sheep, Texas. Go back to that last one you had. That's exactly what it looks like. Look at that thing. It looks like the devil.
Starting point is 02:47:24 Right? Those horns. That's like some Satan looks like. Look at that thing. It looks like the devil. Right? Those horns. That's like some Satan shit from Damien. It's weird that meat is not just meat, though. Like, you can't just, like, take that leg off and eat it. Nope. It's definitely different. Some people say goat is delicious, but I think it really depends upon the diet of the goat.
Starting point is 02:47:40 Some goats, they eat weird shit, and they taste terrible. the goat. Some goats, they eat weird shit and they taste terrible. And some goats, they eat delicious plants and you eat them and I bet it tastes as good as anything you're ever going to eat. It varies so much between the people that say it tastes amazing versus the people that say it tastes terrible. That's a perfect example of one. I mean, that looks like something from Star Wars. Look at that. It's crazy looking. But what would you do do so if we did figure out a way to have all of our meat come out of a laboratory so nothing has to die what do we do about all the animals zoo zoo you have to that's not right that's even crazier like did not have a ranch instead have a zoo animal island dude that's it that's the island we were talking about we ship all the animals
Starting point is 02:48:26 to like some giant like New Zealand we make a deal with New Zealand we're gonna bring over lions bro but
Starting point is 02:48:31 with no predators it's like Jurassic Park basically yeah exactly yeah you'd have to bring over predators too
Starting point is 02:48:39 you'd have to create a wild ecosystem just a fully wild ecosystem and just everybody else there's so many people by the year 2099 that we have occupied every single stretch of the world and everything looks like New York City except one continent, which is like Central Park for the world. So the world is
Starting point is 02:48:58 now one enormous city, but we've maintained like the Amazon. The Amazon rainforest is what we cherish. That's our last connection to Mother Earth before we completely slip in to some symbiotic relationship with computers. Dun, dun, dun. We're allowed to visit this island in little hamster balls, though. Yeah, dude, just like Jurassic Park. This could be real. This could be real.
Starting point is 02:49:20 I mean, it sounds crazy, but if you're talking about 500 years now we literally could have Occupied every single part of the earth except for one place. We literally could make some sort of a deal They're like when nobody goes the Amazon think could be a great science fiction movie feel free to see it steal it Dark mirror, I think we need to start building underwater underwater city fuck that Can you imagine you're underwater a little crack in the wall? You're coming home. You're on edibles you imagine you're underwater you see a little crack in the wall and you're coming home and you're on edibles
Starting point is 02:49:47 and you're so tired but you have to be at work in three hours and you look and you see a little just a small crack in the wall and you go
Starting point is 02:49:54 do I talk about this crack maybe it's just a flaw in the glass it just looks like a crack and then as you're going back home at the end of your shift it looks just a little bigger
Starting point is 02:50:03 see I'd rather do this than Mars. I trust underwater cracks more than going in a Tesla to Mars. Just the feeling of all the walls exploding instantaneously and billions of gallons of ocean water crushing your very existence instantaneously. It's over. Boom! your very existence instantaneously. Boom! Just a smash of the ocean
Starting point is 02:50:27 100 feet deep around you, crushing everything as soon as that crack gets big enough. I'm freaking me out. So you would do Mars? No, I'm not doing any of them. They can go fuck themselves. Would you even get in a submarine?
Starting point is 02:50:43 Nope. No desire. I went to see Nemo at Walt Disneyney that was a fun ride great great for little kids finding nemo you go out in the little submarine and they have a little show they do for you it's wonderful that's about as good as it gets a noise how about that one lady who was a reporter who went in the guy's submarine and he killed her and chopped her up. Decapitated her. Like, what the fuck? Can you imagine if you're a lady and you go out there and you're looking to do a story about a guy who made his own submarine and then somewhere along the line he kills you
Starting point is 02:51:15 and chops you up and throws you in the ocean. You've got to think, like, when you're going to interview a guy who made a submarine, there's no way this guy's going to chop me up. Yeah. That's not going to happen. He knows that everybody knows I's going to chop me up. That's not going to happen. He knows that everybody knows I'm going to visit him. I kind of believe his excuse
Starting point is 02:51:29 a little, but then I, you know, where the hatch just closed on her head. Yeah, but you're supposed to tell people that. You're not supposed to chop her up and throw her in the ocean and pretend nothing happened. You just tell everybody it was a horrific accident and you feel terrible and you get punished.
Starting point is 02:51:47 Fuck, man. Poor lady. 11 days to think about it, though. He had 11 days? I'm sort of reading it right now as you guys are saying it. Her torso was found 11 days later. At first he said she died of carbon monoxide poisoning. He previously had said the thing that hit her head was a 150-pound hatch door.
Starting point is 02:52:08 Oh, Jesus Christ. Could you imagine that? Oh, my God. That makes sense. Hatch door hitting your head makes sense. But either way, fuck submarines. Dude, fuck submarines. Right?
Starting point is 02:52:21 Do you have any desire to go bungee jumping? Nope. Good for you, son. I'm scared of heights. I don't want any of that. Fuck all that, right? The squirrel suit doesn't sound terribly. What?
Starting point is 02:52:31 It sounds kind of fun. You would do the squirrel suit? I wouldn't do it. It sounds fun, though. I want to fly. Make sure you let me know when you're going to do that so I can prepare for your absence forever. It's going to be anytime soon. Life insurance policy on you. Don't let Andy Stump fucking call you at 2 o'clock in the morning, all lit up, trying
Starting point is 02:52:47 to get you to jump off the Alps. But if he ever gets a suit with some jets on it, I might be. What if that goes wrong? What if that's like the Tesla door handles that won't open up? Come on, man. Don't do it. I don't even want a parasail anymore. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:53:01 But hang gliding is, I've heard of people like getting shot up in a hang glider, 300 feet and just a little like spout of air that they can't control and you're fucked on that fuck all that people are crazy yeah this is all that for thrills for wild thrills and god damn it we're going to have flying cars though that's another thing they're looking into there's a lot of people that are seriously considering flying cars right now. I think it's a matter of time before they lock that in. I think it's going to be automated pilots, or I mean driverless cars first, and then technology, then flying. I think you're totally right. And I think they're going to have the same sort of lane departure warnings and all the stuff that keeps cars from crashing into each other.
Starting point is 02:53:40 They're correct. And then people are just going to say, well, as long as they're're autonomous it actually makes it more efficient to use the entire 3d space and not have the the landscape marred with all these hard roads I haven't been a bummer today have I I feel like I'm freaking I'm freaking me out I don't know why I'm more serious about this shit heading into 2018 but it just seems ominous. Dum, dum, dum. All right,
Starting point is 02:54:08 I gotta pee so bad we have to wrap this up. I've been holding it in. Yeah. I drank too much coffee before this one. It's almost three hours. Yeah, almost three hours.
