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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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,
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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%.
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.
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%.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
before the podcast
there was something
about Apple
buying Netflix
Jesus
how do you feel
about a company
that gets that big?
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
Yolani.
How do you say it?
I think it's Yolani.
Yolana.
Yolandi.
Yolandi.
Yolandi.
Yolandi Visser.
That's it.
Yolandi Visser.
She reminds me of like Bingo.
Yeah.
What movie was that?
Chappie.
Chappie.
Mm.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What about that?
How do you spell
that Aladat word?
Al-
None of these things
are the Aladat.
Aladat has like
big,
thick,
um,
horns.
Say it to Siri
and see what she
comes up with.
Well,
either way.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
to like
some giant
like New Zealand
we make a deal
with New Zealand
we're gonna bring over
lions bro
but
with no predators
it's like
Jurassic Park basically
yeah
exactly
yeah
you'd have to bring over
predators too
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
All right,
Brian Redband,
