Believe in wireless. He needs to see it. Boom, and we're live. What's up, Rich? How are you, man? What's popping, baby? What's going on, man? Thanks for doing this.

I really appreciate it. Dude, thank you for having me on this show, man. Well, I read about you, fellow Boston native, and I read about your Tesla journey, and I was like, this is a fucking interesting story. This guy buys a broken Tesla, and then you couldn't get parts for it anywhere. Nope. So what had happened to the car? Had it been in an accident?

No. So I met the previous owner, and he actually, I think it was during Hurricane Sandy. Oh. He thought that, he goes, wait a minute, that water level seems low enough for me to drive through it. And he decided driving through the water, I think it got up to almost like the B pillar. Oh, no. Up to like where his neck is, yeah. Jesus Christ.

Yeah, I know, right? So he thought he could fight the water.. Oh, no. Up to like where his neck is, yeah. Jesus Christ. Yeah, I know, right? So he thought he could fight the water. He lost, obviously. And it was just underwater. And I'm like, you know what? I got to try this thing. And so what would Tesla do in that situation? If he wanted to bring it back to them,

they would have to rebuild the entire car? They wouldn't even do it because at that point, once anything liquid, you know, any kind of like water intrusion happens at an EV, they just write the whole car off. Insurance companies are just like,

we're not going to deal with this. Too risky. Too risky. Not worth it. Were you aware of the Fisker dilemma at Hurricane Sandy when they had the Fiskers that were parked at the,

it was at some sort of a dock where they brought them off the ship. They all exploded. Yeah, they all burned. The water level rose and the water got into them and they just went off like fucking fireworks. And they lost a whole bunch of them. Yeah.

Look, there's a video of it. You can watch the video of them fucking blowing up. So as the water level rose, you can see the water breaching. Yeah. Well, the water gets to the cars. And when it gets to the cars, they just start going off like fucking fireworks. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

I know that feeling. Oh, yeah. There it goes. Look at that. Boom. Boom. Boom. Oh, damn Look at that shit Dude. Oh, it's like a supernova. I mean those are big ass fucking batteries just blowing the fuck. That's insane That turns night into day. That's amazing. How many they lost like 40 cars or something like that? They lost a fuckload and the company Essentially went They went radioed silent Yeah

For like a year That's a big L to take Yeah They took a hit Yeah Once people realized Their car could just explode Yeah that's not good

Sorry What happened This video I didn't look at the name Of the video It popped up When I typed in The Fisker explosion

But this was the explosion Of the Con Ed plant Oh that's a big difference Yeah that's huge That was a giant. I was like, what the fuck is in those cars? But there is a video of the actual Fiskars exploding, isn't there? I think there's definitely pictures.

I have a feeling the second video won't be as exciting now. Yeah, let's leave it off. Fuck it. More misinformation. Just set us back an hour. Yeah, so that's the cars. That's what was left of them. Wow.

And they all fucking blew up. It's a beautiful car, though. Fisker did a great job of making a car that looks really good. Right, but you know what's funny? I think the back end's kind of ugly. Do you? I think the front looks like a fish. The back's kind of ugly.

And then actually, have you ever driven one? No. You ever been in one? No. When you drive one, you'll be like, ah, I get why this didn't work out. Well, Justin Bieber had an all-chrome one. I remember that. Yeah.

Does he still have it, though? Does he still have it? He probably doesn't even know. Yeah, he probably doesn't know at this point. You know, the amount of money that dude must have? Yeah. He probably has no idea if he has that car. No kidding.

It's got it tucked away somewhere. But what do they drive like? They're just not really great cars. It's not really a driver's car. It's a 2 plus 2. The center console. Keep this thing a little closer to you. Sorry. Sorry. It moves not really a driver's car. It's a 2 plus 2. The center console. Keep this thing a little closer to you. Sorry.

Sorry, it moves around if you want to take it with you. The center console is super wide. It's a super awkward car to drive. And it's not really good at really anything. You know, it doesn't, styling wise, I'm like, oh, there we go. There's Justin's. Yeah. So you think that back end looks ugly?

I don't think I get that much. No. No. I like it. But you know what's funny? The chrome doesn't look that bad. Some guy got arrested in Germany. They pulled him over and compounded his car because he had a gold shiny wrap on it.

Right. Was it too reflective or something? I've seen that on Sun... There's a couple on Sunset, like a Lamborghini or something. They'll let you do that in America. But in Germany, they're like, fuck off. They took that shit right you know they're like harsh cold stoic folk you know they don't want you doing that i mean they don't want you flexing too much over there yeah not too much no i bet they were like reluctantly or making cars

like super flashy for like american markets and shit i think so too i you know i wonder you think so i don't know i don't know yeah i mean i wonder how much of an influence it has like if you could leave them to themselves right what kind of cars do they make yeah yeah because i feel like so much of it is like market driven but they when it comes to like engineering and handling like god damn german cars have it nailed they really do They really do. They've got it nailed. But you know what?

The Americans, they were trying to sneak up and get close for a while. But, I mean, the Germans, it's just the standard. It's a benchmark for everything. The only place where the Americans fuck with it is, like, have you ever driven a Camaro ZL1? I have, yeah. That's a preposterous car. It's an awesome car. It's amazing.

I have a Corvette Z06. Ooh, which year? It's a 06, Z06, which is the LS7, 7 liter. And it's an insane car. By today's standards, it only has like 505 horsepower. Isn't that funny? That's not a lot. It's a mean car.

The car will put you on your ass really quick, man. Turn you into a man. mean car the car will put you on your ass really quick man turn you to a man our friend taylor out there was telling us that they put a tesla in ludicrous mode on a dyno and it had some insane number of torque it was like 900 pound pound foot of torque right and somewhere in the neighborhood of a thousand horsepower and the dyno could barely even read it a lot of dynos even go that high in a lot of cases yeah they're insane cars, man. I'm telling you. The Americans know how to do it now.

I think it's interesting that people don't realize this when they see a Tesla. It's a fully American car. And they don't realize that. They're just like, oh, it's probably something like German

or Japanese car. But the car's 100% made here. Is this it right here, Jamie? Yes. Is this the... Which model is this? P100D. P100D.

So that's the The biggest one So what does it say? It says on a Mustang dyno Hmm Sound like A little good old boys Gonna take this Tesla up here And try to

Figure out how fast she goes I think I can get it to jump I thought it said 56 seconds Yeah no I think it Look at him It even almost jumps off the dyno at this point. There's so much torque. Yeah, it's a very, very, very powerful car.

There you go. Yeah. When I try to describe it to people, especially people that have never driven an electric car, I'm like, it doesn't even seem real. It seems like it violates physics. So how do you like yours, by the way? I love it.

I know that Elon Musk came here and bamboozled you into buying one, pretty much. How dare you? I love it. I love it. It's great, isn't it? It makes other cars seem stupid. Right. Absolutely.

And I love cars. Oh, yeah. I know you're a car guy. I love them. I love cars that don't even drive that fast. I love mechanical, engineered excellence. I love when people figure things out, which is what brought me to you. I love the fact that you took this car that was fucked up, and you refused to let it go.

You're like, I'm going to figure out how to fix this fucking thing. How much did you buy it for? It was 15 grand. Just to be clear on something, I'm not some evil genius or brainiac. This was driven by my cheapness because I didn't want to spend the kind of money they were asking for one. Right. So basically, this car is like 15 grand. And the whole story started when my friend came over.

He actually had a job at Tesla. And he's like, buddy, listen, do these crazy cars. I know you have a Z06, but this car is faster than that you're gonna love this thing i was like that electric crap box i don't want anything to do with that whatever right he brought the car over great looking car i said all right and i'll take it for a drive or whatever and the thing was amazing right amazing car so i was in tech and i'm just like listen like you know what like how much does this thing cost like i, I make decent money, whatever. I'll just throw some money at it.

He's like, listen, this will cost you about $120. I said, you know what? Have a nice day. I'm not buying that shit. And then he – so he left, and I thought to myself, like, every night I was like, you know what? I got to get my hands on one of these cars, man. I got to get one. Like, you know, sell a kidney, whatever, sell a testicle, whatever I can do.

And I was searching online, and, you know, what happens whatever sell a testicle whatever i can do and it i was searching online and you know what happens is whenever a car gets messed up whenever a car gets as they say totaled in a way and it's a total loss an insurance company will take it and they'll kind of auction it off to like the highest bidder so i went to an auction site and i saw one for sale was like you know 15 grand they said it didn't run or drive and it was in a flood. And I'm just like, 15 grand? I could do that. It's a piece of cake, man.

I threw some money at it, whatever. How hard can it be? You stick it in a bag of rice and then you tie it up. It's like an iPhone. You know when you drop your iPhone in the toilet? Right, right. You know what I mean? It's just like, oh, man, it sucks.

You throw it in a bag of rice and you're good to go. So I figured all I had to do was just buy more rice for this thing. And I got it home and I i was like you know what this is uh i got myself into some shit here because uh this it was a lot more work than i thought it was going to be so you didn't sight unseen you purchased it nope sight unseen and that's that's the way it is the most times they don't really let you on the auction lots too often so they took five photos of it it was uh some from the interior some from the side and one under the the frunk. And I was just like, I could probably do this, right? No big deal.

So this begins this project, which takes how long to completion? I think it took me about maybe six or seven months or so. Of straight work? No. So I was working at the time, and I think only between the hours of like 7 p.m. and like 11 p.m., like every night. Jesus. And then weekends for a few hours until I figured it out, yeah. So goodbye social life.

Pretty much, yeah. I was a hermit for those months. And what I actually ended up doing was, so I had the car, right? So I was freaking out because my wife was just like, how much was that thing? You know what I mean? Of course. Yeah, she had the divorce papers ready pretty much.

Oh, there I am. Is that it? No, this was a different one. That one's fucked up. Yeah, that one's really messed up now. I couldn't save that one. How much did you get that one for? That one was about, guess.

Four grand. That was 20 grand I paid for that. What? Yes. What? Yes. That thing's totaled. Yeah, I know, but they're so valuable, man.

Really? Because you know why? It's the battery technology and the motor technology that Tesla's using. Everyone's just dying for that stuff, man. So any wrecked Tesla that you find, minimum, I know I'm spilling the secret sauce here, minimum worth 15 grand. Wow. Even if it looks like that.

Dead serious. That's insane. That thing doesn't even have doors. There's no window. I took the doors off. Oh, you took the doors off. But the battery pack is still in there serious That's insane That thing doesn't even have doors I took the doors off Oh you took the doors off But the battery pack is still in there Right

And that's what you want And the motor was still in there too Do people take those And put them in like old cars Or anything yet? Absolutely Yeah That's the new generation

Of hot rodders man Because I saw something like that About a Mustang It was like a 65 66 Mustang That was electric But I didn't know What train it used.

So you know how you're a gearhead, you know this. The LS swap. They put literally an LS into everything. Yeah, I have a Land Cruiser. Toyota Land Cruiser with one. LS swap? Land Cruiser? Oh, shit.

So that's the new LS swap, basically. So the Tesla motor is the new LS swap. Everyone is swapping a Tesla motor into Volkswagen Bugs, into Audis, into Porsches, into everything. Well, I know that people are doing LS swaps in the 911s, and Porsche people are losing their fucking minds. I know. Because they're taking old, air-cooled cars, which are really notoriously difficult to get to a high horsepower rate. Exactly. Because those air-cooled cars, you can only get them around 400 plus horsepower. And they start crumbling.

Unless you're Singer. Right. They've got that insanely engineered new one. What is that called? Lightweight. I don't know what it's called. Either way, it's going to cost you damn near $100,000 to get an 80 power out of it. Something dynamic, lightweight, something.

It's the most gorgeous looking of those Porsches I've ever seen, ever. And they built that one up to 500 plus horsepower right that's how much is the cost though that's the thing fucking million six exactly a million six yeah you're gonna buy one that's a giant house man that's a that's a house with land yeah you might have a well actually that's not true in in la that's not a house no but LA is not the real world What is that 67 Mustang meets Tesla Look at that AVR Motors All electric muscle car Holy fuck

That's a 68 That's good looking too That's one of the best looking rear ends Of any car ever That's an awesome looking car Fuck that looks incredible 2.2 Zero to 60

There you go What the fuck So that's the new That's the new So there's It's gonna cost you A ton of money But mark that

Yeah It's gonna cost you A ton of money To recreate that same look God damn You know with Look it has a nice screen too Look at that

That's so weird though To not shift a muscle car Yeah I think I'm out I'm out I'm backing out I'm backing out But wait

But you love your Tesla though You don't shift that But it doesn't look like that. I would be a super ultra poser. The door handles come out like a Tesla's, too. Oh, wait. That's a Tesla door handle. Oh, fuck off.

Next. No, no, no. There's a company that does, it's a company called Revology that makes old, like 1966 to like 68 Mustangs, but they do it with all new parts right and modern tech like a rest of mod pretty much it's not though because it's a new car there they buy the full um that's a that's actually a brand new car that's never existed oh really yeah so ground up built ground up built they buy the whole you know because it's i think it's called a unibody construction is that what it is?

There's something The way that These Mustangs are constructed The body's built Into the frame And they buy This company sells them Like completed

Versions of the body kit That are perfect With perfect tolerances Right So like It's cool Like that's one The 67 Shelby GT500

What's the price Oh wow Stupid expensive Yeah It's not gonna work It's like two Teslas Yeah pretty much Yeah Like, that's one. The 67 Shelby GT500. What's the price of it? Oh, wow. Stupid expensive. It's not going to work. It's like two Teslas. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, but they're dope.

It's dope as fuck. If you look at what it looks like, go down and see some pictures of it, Jamie. You can get a better sense of it. But this guy is very meticulous. So that's ground up. Yeah. This company is very meticulous. I've been following their stuff for quite a while. What they do is really incredible.

That's an all new sheet metal. That's insane. Everything's new, but it has killer brakes, and it has a modern Coyote Mustang engine in it. It's like a 5.0. So it's a 460 horsepower engine in these old, badass muscle cars. And that one's the GT500. That one's actually supercharged. That has a 600 horsepower engine. It's dope're fucking gorgeous they're gorgeous cars they're really

pretty so so what would you think about someone dropping an electric motor on one of these things see i love it look i love i love people doing crazy shit but it's not for me yeah i need to shift if i'm driving that thing i gotta pretend i'm steve mcqueen i hear you man now here's the thing. So what do you think about the new... You've seen the new Tesla Roadster, right? Gorgeous. What do you think about it?

I love it. How is it? Yeah, but it's theirs from the bottom up. You know what I'm saying? It's like, I don't mind not shifting in it. That thing seems like it's going to literally punch a hole through space time. I think so, too, man. I think so, too.

I think they're looking at it like zero to 60 in like one point something seconds. Yeah, I think it's one nine. I think that's what they're saying. It's insane, man. That's bizarre. I know. When you feel it in the P100D mind, like everybody that I get in the car and I stomp on the gas, they're like, what the fuck?

Yeah, they can't believe it. These are around you. It's like vampires being around people. People that just leap to the top of buildings and they're walking around looking regular until some shit goes down. Yeah, they're they're absolutely amazing cars man and i think that's that's what the main reason why i was like i gotta get one of these man so what what was the struggle initial struggle you have the car you take it apart and what did you see right so pretty much i was kind of taking my time because i knew there was a point where i

couldn't fix the damn thing and i was just kind of wasting everyone's time why it's like hey is this thing almost done? I was like, yeah, babe, don't worry about it. We're good. Don't worry. Our money's safe. And so there's a certain point where I took everything apart. And I was like, all right, cool.

I found a dead fish in the back of the car, by the way. So actually, you know what? The turning point of this whole thing was, the turning point was I realized it was salt water and not fresh water. So you know what salt water does to stuff, right? So it just kills everything. So 90% of the car was kind of toast. And I said to myself, all right, I'm going to call Tesla up, you know, buy a motor, buy a battery pack. I'll be good.

You know what I mean? Maybe I'll spend like 20 grand for a battery and like maybe 10 for a motor. I'll be like for 40. It's still cheaper than 100 right right so so i called them up and uh you know they were like hey you know how's it going man i was like hey you know what a crazy thing happened right so i bought this tesla was underwater and um i need like a couple of things i need a battery i need like a motor you know just just throw me those things it's fine they're like well we're not going to sell it to you

i was like well why not because you have no capability of fixing the car yourself you know you're going to get yourself killed it's not going to work you know give me your vin number i gave them the vin number they're like no that car's listed as salvaged that thing was underwater we're not going to help you and they just hung up the phone pretty much oh yeah so like this is the crazy part too is that they know you know i'm putting my conspiracy theorist hat on they know where every single car is they know what it's doing they know if the airbags went off they know if you farted in the on, they know where every single car is. They know what it's doing. They know if the airbags went off.

They know if you farted in the front seat. They know everything about these cars. So pretty much when you give them the VIN number, you know, the cars are always connected back to the mothership to give you the status in the car. So they know what's going on. So, you know, if you try to hide from me, you just can't do it. So I had the car and I said to myself, you know what, this isn't going to work. I got to figure something out so what i did basically i bought another car for 15 grand and i was like i gotta swap this stuff over so i swapped everything so the other one that you bought

for 15 grand everything worked well it was on a front end collision okay it was in a hard front end collision and so the frame was bent or something frame was bent the thing was toast and i just took all the electronics from one to the other. How do you check to make sure that everything isn't damaged? That's a good thing. A lot of the wiring harnesses were cut, right, in the front-end collision car. But the interesting part was that in the flooded car, the wiring harnesses were still good for the most part in the front. Really? So what I did was, meaning not broken or torn or having bent connectors, I just took those connectors off and actually cleaned them because I couldn't get parts from Tesla.

I took the wet wiring harnesses that were all corroded, pulled them out, got a Q-tip, toothbrush, and all that stuff. What are you cleaning them with? So I cleaned them with baking soda and a wire brush. And I got a toothpick, tooick to really get in there and like cleaning the contacts and stuff i just rinsed them out with water by this time your wife's probably like what she's pissed the fuck she goes i noticed we're missing thirty thousand dollars from our bank account and you got two cars that don't work exactly two cars that don't work you know and thirty thousand dollars uh missing from our bank account like what's going on here so So it was painstaking, but eventually I got the job done, man.

So what I ended up doing was, so $30,000, right? I told my friends, hey, listen, I'm in a mess here. I'm rebuilding a Tesla. And they're just like, you're an idiot. You're not going to figure this out. No one's doing that. Because this was years ago. This is when the cars were still kind of coming onto the scene and they weren't as popular as they are now.

And they're like, you can't fix that. You're an idiot. You can't do that. I've seen your work. And so, yeah, so after a while, you know, I took all the parts from one to the other, got one running. And then the parts I didn't need anymore, like the old battery pack. And some of the – so there were some parts of the battery that were still good, so I actually sold those parts, like, online and on eBay and stuff like that.

And then I sold, like, the motor. It had water in it. Someone got me five grand for a motor that had water in it. That's how valuable these parts are. Wow. So was he planning on doing the same thing or cleaning it out? I have no idea. To this day, I don don't know so i think he's in the same situation i think he brought it home to his wife he's like hey look what i got it's probably still

at his house and uh so after all that sold all the parts i ended up getting uh the car i have now for about six grand so you take the engine and is that one of the four-wheel drive ones the ones you have this was just the rear-wheel drive one. And so it has just the rear engine? The single motor, yep. One engine. And so you take those out, you put it all back in, you replace the wires, and then it's good to go? What about the computer?

What about like all— Oh, my gosh. So pretty much the computer thing was interesting because there was—so I called Tesla again, right? like, hey, buddy, this car is like 99% of the way there. Do they know who you are? At this point, they still don't know who I am. Nor do they care. They still probably don't care who I am. But did you say, hey, man, remember you hung up on me like four months ago?

Yeah, right? The car still doesn't work. Almost. The car still didn't work. Right. So the tough part was I had to – so remember, I had no key for the car. Oh. So I was like, hey, I need a key.

You know what I mean? Like, help me out here. I need a key. And they were like, are you the same idiot that called? I'm like, yeah, I need the key. They were like, we can't – as I stated before, we can't help you because, you know, this is a salvage car, so you're on your own. We can't help you because, you know, this is a salvage car, so you're on your own. So what I did was I actually, in the GPS screen, because the screen turned on, the guy still had the home location.

So I pushed home on the GPS screen, found the guy's address. This is creepy. It gets creepy. Found the guy's address. And I was like, hey, you know know can we uh i called him up i was like hey did you own like a white tesla by chance and he's like who is like yeah i own one i was like yeah um so i bought it and i need the key do you have the key to the car and he's like no i i don't i don't have that like what do you call me for like i don't understand like well i'm rebuilding it i'm putting the electronics from your car into another,

and I want to figure it out. And he's like, you know what? I can't help you. I don't have the key. And I was like, damn, that sucks, because I have a family and stuff. And I really kind of gave him the sob story. Like, if you could really look for it and help me out,

I'd be good. And we started talking about general topics, and he's like, you know, I know you're a car guy. That's awesome. I had a Z06 once, and I was That's awesome. I had a Z06 once. And I was like, hey, I have a Z06 too. And he's like, yeah, it was Le Mans blue. And I was like, hey, mine's Le Mans blue.

And he's like, what year is it? I was like, it's an 06. He goes, I sold that same car or car like it like two years ago to a guy in Florida. I was like, I bought the car from a guy in Florida. So we started bonding. So it turns out I actually owned his old Z06.'s insane yeah it's crazy right what are the odds that two human beings on the planet you own both of this guy's car both of his guy's car it was it was insane so he's like listen he goes awesome you know i'll see if i could i'll see if i could find you know the key friends with that dude now no we never talked

again after that seems like you should be friends well no well here's the reason why so here's what happened well one of them was super creepy for me to call the guy right number two um when i went you know i went kind of silent for a week he called me back and said buddy i found the key oh i found the key to the car i was like awesome dude like you're fantastic i'm gonna send you an envelope to your address so you could kind of you know give me the key and he's like yeah yeah great great great how about like 600 bucks and i was like broheim we just bonded over the fact that i own both your cars what are you doing to me here 600 yeah and remember like you know to a lot of people that's nothing but like to me like i was trying to be cheap and scrappy 600 bucks is 600 bucks yeah that's a bit much that's a lot of money money. And I was like, hey, I was like, you didn't, the key didn't exist to you as of like a week ago.

But now that you can make money from it, like now you want to try 600 bucks. And he's just like, you know, you know, da, da, da. So I've been talking again. And he goes, how about 400 bucks? And I was like, you know what, guy? I'll just give you the money. Just take the damn money. Blood money.

Yeah, right. Exactly, right. So I sold my soul pretty much. No, he did. Yeah. He's got that blood money. right exactly right so i sold i sold my soul pretty much and he did yeah he's got that blood money no but i shouldn't have i feel like i was i shouldn't have taken it i would have rubbed that money on my ball put it in an envelope bro make sure you sniff that hundred dollar bill first i mean it's like i get it he's just being a dirt bag right but no but after that you got the key and got the key, and that's what it is. And then the car's running and driving today.

So as soon as you got the key, you're good. Do you have one key or two? Just one. If I lose that, I'm screwed. Can you make it? Does the phone work, like your app, does it work on the car? Nope. Damn.

No. That's big. The app is big. That's huge. Yeah. It's cool. When you get the car to come to you. You can summon it. Come's huge. Yeah. It's cool. When you get the car to come to you. You can summon it.

Come to me. Come to daddy. Come to me. You can park literally with an inch on each side. Right. And you go, come to daddy. That's the problem is that I feel like with the Tesla, because I have a Model X now. So I have the SUV now.

And that's the ultimate flex. Tiffany Haddish had one, and she had it in the parking lot of the comedy store, and she had it dancing. Really? And we were filming it. The doors kind of go up and down and stuff and down and stuff to the music and she's out in front of the car dancing and her and i are dancing and everybody's dancing and they're filming it it was a hilarious moment and and it's funny because i i found myself i feel like this car has ruined me as a person right like i'm a typically like pretty humble person but like having like a tesla the fact

that you could push a button and the car comes to you is the biggest. It's a douchebag move because, honestly, we were getting into our cars like peasants for years. And one day I was at the gym, and I was looking at my car from a distance, and I was like, you know what? I really don't feel like walking all the way to my car today. How far? It was probably the distance from you to me. It wasn't really that far. It was like a glass in between us. And I was like, you know what? Come car today. How far? It was probably like the distance from you to me. It wasn't even that far. It was like a glass in between us.

And I was like, you know what? Come to daddy. Come to daddy. Push the button. The car just backed out. Everyone's like, whoa, that car is driving itself. I was like, yeah, that's me. Push the button.

Open the door. Got in. I just drove off. Yeah. When I take it and I put it in auto drive, that's when it really freaks me out. Yeah. Do you use that often? Often.

Yeah. Yeah. It scares me. It scares me, but i keep my hands right there but it is freaky have you tried to kill you yet no okay that's good it's coming really i always keep my hand there i always keep my hand there but i'm i'm always but the one thing i'm concerned with is that i think i'm lowering my guard yes absolutely i'm letting the car do too much absolutely because when you drive like one of the reasons for road rage is when we're driving around,

we don't know who the fuck's next to us. And we're going very fast, and it requires the ability to think really quickly, so your brain is in a heightened state of awareness. And then someone does something stupid, like, this motherfucker! You fucking asshole! You get rage, man. Exactly. That's where the rage comes from.

But it lightens that almost maybe too much because i think you do need to be oh jesus christ in my lane right i think you do need to be at least aware that some shit could happen at any moment when cars are flying by you going 75 so you don't take your hands fully off you just let the car drive itself really yeah i just put my hand on it i don't take my hands fully off but if you do you can only do it for so long it'll start to warn you complain like hey what's going on here, buddy? But apparently some dudes tried, they said that didn't work.

I talked to one of those dudes who did that experiment. Apparently that experiment didn't work. The orange, yeah. I think the orange, I think that might work, man. I think what does work better is like they said

like a lightweight. Like if you take like a lightweight and put it on like a rubber band and you hang it You know what's funny There was a guy that was selling that You hear about that No

He was selling like It looked like a It was basically like a weight That went around the steering wheel And it actually had the perfect amount of weight balance To make you think that your hand was still on the wheel Right People were buying it

There it is Tesla autoplay buddy hat Autoplay buddy yes Nag Relaunches as a phone mount yeah so then so we had that right he was selling it and it was like 300 bucks and then you know they were like that's illegal you can't do that you're bypassing like a safety device of the car so then what he did was he came back again with a vengeance and made it a phone mount he's clever he's clever

yeah yeah that's a smart move although I'm not sure I support it. Yeah, I don't think I do either. That's a little bit much. Don't think it's ready for that. It weirds me out. It weirds me out because the other thing is the other people are not going with auto drive.

So you're around, you're going auto drive and all these other people are just driving. And I think when everyone's driving together, you're kind of in tune with each other. Oh, this asshole is trying to go really fast. Yeah, right. Get the fuck away from him.

I'm going to overtake this guy. Yeah, let me pass this guy. You're aware., you're kind of in tune with each other. Oh, this asshole is trying to go really fast. Yeah, right. Get the fuck away from him. I'm going to overtake this guy. Right. Yeah, let me pass this guy. You're aware. When you're auto driving, it's like you're like a cyst in this moving ecosystem of thinking. Right. All these people be calculating each other.

But it's probably ultimately, like if you talk to Elon, he says it's way safer and that's the future. I 100% agree with him. Absolutely. But he obviously hates fun. Yeah. Because why would you do that to the world? Don't forget, right?

Elon can talk all the shit he wants. Remember, he had a McLaren F1. Yes, he did. Right. And he still has a Jaguar E-Type, one of those really old ones, like a 69 with the long shark nose. The long hood, yeah. Yeah.

He still got that. So he had a McLaren. So he, at heart, he knows the deal. You know what I mean? I mean, he didn't make that car that fast for a practicality no it makes no sense the same reason he made a fucking blowtorch exactly right right he's a silly person i think it's not a flamethrower we know that it's not definitely he's a silly super genius is what he is what do you think in all the best ways? Yes, right. Only good ways. I never say anything bad about him. I love the guy. I'm so glad he's alive. I am.

I'm glad he's a real thing. No, honestly, and I was going to agree. I get a lot of crap from people online saying I'm an Elon Musk hater. I'm a Tesla hater. I could be critical sometimes. You know what I mean? But it's like the guy's a damn genius, man. He's a damn genius.

He's a damn genius. And critical is important. Guys like you are important. It's very important to hear what other people think if it's reasoned and intelligent. Right. It helps you even if you don't like hearing it. Right. So I got to keep, I mean, he's a genius, but sometimes you got to keep the company in check.

The cars are phenomenal cars. They're phenomenal cars. And they weren't always. No, absolutely not. Yeah. And what they were when they first came out like were you aware of the whole thing with top gear yes that was crazy yeah they were being shady yeah super shady yeah they were running the car down the car died they wanted to bash the car

as much as they could but like for stuff like that like i'll stick up and say yo hey yeah you can't keep doing that and he got pissed he loves it that's his baby yeah he sued them i think he lost because i think the way their show is structured, that was- It's entertainment. Yes, it's entertainment and fiction. But it's incredibly damaging to the company because it made it look like, I don't know why they did that. There's a couple of things that Top Gear did, but I was like, why would you do that?

Right. That was wonderful. Some people, remember, their focus is on petrol or gas-powered cars. Like when an EV comes along, and it's actually pretty damn good. In a lot of cases, people are just like, shit, we can't let this thing win. Especially back in the day when that was going on. Right. That was a long time ago, right?

That was in 2012, I think. Yeah, 2013. Yeah. So you get the key from this guy's car. Right. You can't use the app. Right. So you have to rely on the software in the state that it's at.

There's no software updates? No. So here's a long story. So get the car going. Everything's great. In order to get masked from the Tesla system, so there's a certain system that Tesla knows where all their cars are. Right. And they could disable whatever they want.

They could do whatever they want. They can shut you down. Exactly. So I had to reach out to this Tesla could do whatever they want. They see you. They can shut you down. Exactly. So I had to reach out to like this Tesla black hat hacker pretty much. Oh, Jesus. You had to go to the dark web? I had to go to the deep dark web.

Damn. And he was able to mask Tesla from seeing the car, which is why I can't have the Tesla app. Oh. So he masked that. So he got into the actual software itself? Into the actual software itself. That guy's a genius. His name's Phil.

Switched one to zero? Exactly. He took the bit, and then it was able to be, the car could supercharge. The car could do everything. Wow. And the car gets updates, too. It's great. Oh, it does?

It does get updates, yeah. And Tesla doesn't know it's getting updates? No. You know what's funny? Maybe we shouldn't say this. Yeah. I'm just kidding. No.

They know the deal. And here's the problem with that, is that people love these cars a lot, man. They love these cars. Hence me. I'm picking the car out of a dirty lake, you know what I mean, and fixing this thing. You know what I mean? So a lot of the times it's in their best interest, I believe, to help people out a little bit. Yeah.

But no, the things that people go through for these cars is insane and people just they just love them my my take on it is that what they have is this ingenious company with this mad genius scientist who's running it who does a million other things at the same time right and they don't have enough people to deal with someone like you they probably just don't they don't have like a section of the company to deal with someone like you. They probably just don't, they don't have like a section of the company to deal with someone like you. They, you remember when he was working, when he was, they were trying to put out the model three and he was working 16 hours a day

and sleeping on the floor of the factory. Yeah, pretty much. Shit, that don't make any sense. Like what? People, you know,

it's funny people, it doesn't make any sense, but people love the company and they love this guy. So, so speaking of that, um, when he was working 16 hours a day, uh, and he was sleeping on the floor in the factory,

it was a big sob story, a billionaire sleeping on the floor in the factory. A bunch of Tesla owners rallied together and they purchased a couch for him to sleep on. Like tens of thousands of dollars. What kind of couch is this? It must have been a nice ass couch. Crazy couch.

Yeah, but either way, they rallied and they purchased a couch for him. And I made a video on it and I said to myself, you know what? This guy's a billionaire. Yeah. The B. But the fact that everyone rallied together to help this guy, to show that there's support. Yeah.

People are hands over fists for this company, man. They are. It reminds me of Apple back in the day. Oh, gosh. Yeah. I remember there was a guy, God bless his heart, who was one of the editors on News Radio.

The sitcom that was on in the 90s and he was such an Apple head that he was like, he was talking about it like it was a sports team. He was talking about it, well, I think we're really going to get those PC guys when the new MacBooks come out. But he really said something to that along those lines. I think we're really going to get those PC guys when the new MacBooks come out. But he really said something to that

along those lines. I think we're really going to pull ahead. Like, who's we? We. Mac users. We're all together. They were on this weird little tribe Mac. And this is the same thing,

but you know what? Picture the Apple fanboys, the Tesla fanboys, times 10. Yeah, they live in it. It's like an Apple you live in. It's times 10. They're driving to work in it. It's like an Apple you live in. It's times 10. They're driving to work in it.

Because Apple has the technology aspect of it. Like, it's great. You know, Android sucks. I have an Apple phone. Okay, perfect, perfect. But for Teslas, you're talking about technology. So you have the tech nerds. You're talking about sustainability as well for the green people.

Green. So you have the tech and the green people. Green and tech. And once they join forces, so the scariest force on the earth, right? It isn't like war, like guns and stuff.

It's actually a Mac owning Tesla, vegan owner. It's the scariest thing in the world. It really is the scariest thing in the world because they'll tell you all about it at a party. Oh my God. It's cornered. They get cornered, but like they,

it, and it's, and I've struggled with that in a lot of cases because whenever I say something remotely negative about Tesla, like, hey, I think Tesla could do a better job here. They're just like – you're just a gashead. I know you own a Z06. You work for big – someone accused me of working for big oil. Oh, you do? Yeah. What do you do for them?

How do you work for big oil? You can tell me, bro. What does that mean you work for big oil? Yeah, you're a part of the Illuminati Yeah pretty much You work for big oil How do I work for big oil? What does that mean?

How much could they pay you too? First of all Before people would realize it All of a sudden you're walking around With like diamond chains on and shit Like a big Rolex You move to a giant mansion Are you still fixing cars?

Yeah right Do you work for big oil? You know I got another thing going on Yeah right I Do you work for Big Oil? Well, you know, I got another thing going on. Yeah, right, right. I'm making billions for Big Oil. Yeah, buy a gas car.

Go to Shell. Shell's great. I don't understand how people think that whole Shell thing works. Do you just get like a monthly check? I don't understand.

Like, hey, Rich, say something negative about Tesla every once in a while. We'll give you a check for 20 grand a month. Yeah, you gotta get that Big Oil check. I suspect that what it is

is similar to what my friend who was really addicted to Apple. Yeah. I think you just get on your tribe and that's my check. I suspect that what it is is similar to what my friend who was really addicted to Apple. I think you just get on your tribe, and that's my thing. I'm all about Apple. And that's your camp. Windows, it's bullshit. Windows is bullshit. Ew.

It's disgusting. Why would you want to play? What, are you going to fuck with the config files? Get in there and use DOS? Get out of here. Yeah, you loser. You loser. But it's interesting, because people like us are very different, because we could appreciate

both. You have a phenomenal collection of cars. Thank you. And then you threw a Tesla in there, but you love both. You love the driving aspect of your Porsche. You love the silence and the zero to 60 of your Tesla, too. We could be part of both camps. But a lot of cases, it's camp Tesla.

And if you're not with us you're against us silly yeah i have a windows laptop and i have an apple laptop oh you do yeah jesus i have both really yeah you know why why because windows has more options and when you have more options you get better configurations you get better keyboards right like i have a lenovo thinkpad oh look at you dude they're the shit yeah it's way better to write on right like the tactile feedback and the travel distance and the keys is so much longer right you just know where you're typing right for me as a writer when i'm writing like i'm writing standard or something like that it requires less thinking right because my fingers just find the keys easier i mean like 10 plus

easier it's a big deal and and i bought an older apple laptop too too. I bought a 2015, a refurbished one, because their keyboards were superior. Yes, the new ones are so low profile. They're terrible. They're terrible. The shittiest fucking keyboard of any computer that you can buy today is a new MacBook Pro. And they got busted for that because now, because their keyboards are so shitty, they have to take them back now. Yeah. They're doing recalls on the keyboards.

if it take them back now yeah they're doing recalls on the keyboards well they do have a new patent that they put out for a variable height keyboard where the key travel will vary and the key resistance will vary interesting yeah there's a new patent that they filed for it doesn't necessarily mean they even have the technology for it right that sounds expensive i don't know why well i mean if it's something you could press with a button that just raises the keys up that would be like a solution. Because if you think about the flatness of the key, the idea is they want to keep a low profile to this laptop. Right. Make it thin and sexy.

Right. Which is like fucking whatever. Yeah. Who cares? Because the, I don't have the ThinkPad with me, but I have the X1 Carbon. It's super thin. Yeah, those are nice. And it weighs nothing. Right.

And the battery life is excellent. It lasts like six months. Dude, it's a fucking great laptop. Right. So Apple's just a fucking great laptop. Right. So Apple's just, they're just only Apple. And the problem with that one company only selling laptops is you just don't have enough variety. No. There's not enough people that are offering challenges to it.

They don't have any challenges. Right. In fact, their biggest challenge is the Huawei Matebook. Huawei basically stole their idea, but made it way better. Right. They made, oh, I see what you guys are doing. You guys are fucking up. We're going to do that too.

We're going to fix it. We're going to make it with better keys. Right. We're going to have no bezels on the side of the screen. And you know, everyone's concerned about security. Well, we're just going to have the webcam pop up as a key. Have you seen that one? No, I haven't.

No. That's dope. That sounds next level shit. I want to see that. Huawei. Am I saying that right? That's it. Come on, bro. Oh, shoot. Look at that. That's dope as sounds next level shit i want to see that huawei am i saying that right that's it come on bro oh shoot that's dope as fuck look no bezels no bezels no no room for the webcam yeah and it has great keyboard travel too i think it's like 1.5

millimeter key travel which is if you're a person who writes all the time yeah i need to get my thoughts out i'm stupid do you write a lot yeah I write a lot. Stand up. Yeah. And I just write things and I extract stand up from them. Right. But when I write, I don't need to be fucking with the keys, man.

So why do you use your Mac then? You listen to all these pros about the PC, but why do you play on Mac? Because I like to have both. I use that when I travel

because I don't write as much when I travel, but I like to watch movies and shit. Oh, look at that. Yeah, pops up. How about that? The F6 key or something

It looks right up your nose son That's pretty wild It's kind of a weird spot No but that's good It's kind of weird Because I That's your profile The biggest thing is like

When you're You probably have like A Skype meetings or whatever Or Google Hangouts The worst thing in the world Is like the camera Turning on automatically That's a lie right there

That image is a lie Let me see That is not what it looks like Yeah I know That's impossible That's impossible That's not even the right viewpoint Yeah that's ridiculous No one's that good is a lie let me see go back that is not what it looks like yeah I know that's impossible that's impossible that's not even the right viewpoint yeah that's ridiculous

no one's that good looking either yeah she's pretty hot yeah yeah but it does pop up man that's insane so that's a thing because it looks just like a Mac

yep it looks just like a Mac except it has more key travel right more comfortable and that upper right hand corner that power button is also a fingerprint reader

oh fuck it I'm gonna buy one right now they're the shit I would use one but you don't have one no why not

but I have a Lenovo which is great whatever I mean this is just they're it's all just better options the only difference is Windows

is not as good as Mac OS but it's not that much worse no it's really not it's pretty fucking close Windows 10 is pretty fucking good I didn OS. But it's not that much worse. No, it's really not. It's pretty fucking close. Windows 10 is pretty fucking good.

I didn't see what this runs. What does it run on? Windows or some... It's Windows. Windows 10. Windows? Yeah, Windows. Windows 10. Yeah.

So it's not Android? No, that's Windows 10. Yeah, you're right. It would have to be one of those Chromebooks if it was going to run Android, which apparently is very good, too. But the Chromebook designs are really nice, too. Very nice.

They're super nice. And you can get one super cheap. Right. And the battery lasts like three months. Yeah. It that's forever and if you're just putting documents you put them in your google docs in the cloud you pull it up instantaneously drive no it's great yeah but huawei's a weird company man like i don't know what i feel about i'm buying into all this government propaganda about the chinese yeah spying on us yeah it's definitely spying on you for sure well dude i've had my credit card stolen my number stolen three times this year why how yeah i don't know it's definitely spying on you for sure. Well, dude, I've had my credit card stolen, my number stolen three times this year.

Why? How? Yeah, I don't know. It's never happened to me. Yeah, well. I think the more money you have, the more stuff you get stolen. Maybe. Yeah, maybe people find out.

It's annoying, though. Like, I got a charge, but I have an app on my phone that shows me the charge, and it was during a podcast. Well, I'm like, well, that definitely wasn't me. Yeah, no, definitely not. But they get you with like $10 ones Like little $3 $10 To test the waters

Look at this Quad microphones Accurately pick up sound From 4 meters away With a Huawei What? Is that real? They have a spine on your brain

Yeah What they're not telling you Is that microphones Are always active Always on Yeah Just like your phone They're always listening

To your calls Government bro Translate Multiple people Oh great Microsoft translator You hear about the new TVs You hear about the LG TVs Yeah. Just like your phone? They're always listening to your phone. It's government, bro. Translate. It's multiple people. Oh, great. Microsoft translator. You hear about the new TVs.

You hear about the LG TVs that were constantly listening to conversations. Wonderful. And they told you, if you want to have a private, confidential conversation, don't have it in front of the TV, is what they were basically saying. What if you bang your wife in front of the TV? That's interesting. Yeah. Do they have cameras on them? They have cameras, too.

Yeah. They have cameras too, yeah. I think it live streams that. I think it's like a sex mode. After a while, everyone's just going to watch everybody do everything. I really think within 100 years, that's going to be the case.

That's the case now, man. But I think it's kind of like... Vloggers and like, you know, I'm on YouTube. You know how that goes. Everyone wants to see, oh, what are you doing now? What are you doing now?

I didn't get a video last week. What's going on? What are you doing now? Yeah. You know? But what we accept is way different than what our parents accepted or what their parents accepted and i think what our children accept is going to be way different and then what their children accept is going to be we're like two three generations from it just being ridiculous where there's no privacy how do you distance

yourself because you're a public figure right how do you distance yourself like where do you draw the line for privacy i guess you could say the real problem is when you're eating man when people like come up to you while you have like i'll have a kid in my lap and i'll be eating food and talking to the kid and someone will literally come up to me and try to take a picture like with me ask me take a picture with me i'm like come on man We're all out eating at a restaurant Right This is like You know just say hi Yeah Just say hi man

And I always tell people When I'm done And I'm leaving I'll take a picture with you But you can't You can't just interrupt dinner That's insane man But it's just

It's just people think like If they don't get a picture with you Right now Right I gotta get it right now Now now now Fuck it I don't care I'm going in

I'm gonna ask them Right And they don't care I mean and then they'll say Hey that's the price you pay For being famous Well that It's like no

That's not true That's crazy Look this is the deal The deal is Someone provides something That you enjoy Whether it's stand up Or a thing

And I appreciate That you enjoy it Right But that's our exchange All the other stuff I don't owe you anything else It's like meeting me At a restaurant and shit

When I'm eating with my kid Yeah Like come on man that's the you're asking for too much this is ridiculous here's another question for you what kind of restaurants do you eat at where people feel need to come up to you like it was a regular restaurant either a high-end like applebee's and stuff or like low-end stuff yeah that's right i use regular places normal normal spots it's not it's not normal that someone does that. Most people are super respectful. Right. But all it takes is one out of a hundred. True.

And the night just gets weird. Right. And most people don't. Most people are cool. But it's every now and then people just have this idea that somehow or another you have to, if you're a famous person, you have to abandon everything. Right. That's the other thing, that you're not a person anymore.

Right. You're like a famous person. It's like the regular rules of't apply in someone don't apply right like you would never just barge in on a regular person that you didn't know no but if it's a regular famous person people they don't give a fuck oh this is fine whatever this is a conversation right where you're you and your friend are both crying and talk about someone that died people don't give a fuck hey man i'm sorry to interrupt bro but i get that picture yeah to interrupt, bro, but I get that picture. Yeah, right now.

I get that picture, bro. Damn. I get that picture, bro. So what's the weirdest interaction you've had with someone? It's mostly just that kind of stuff. Really? Just like restaurants and stuff?

Oh, no, the weirdest shit is like people that tell me that they're going to give me secrets, like UFO-type stuff, like Bigfoot, and I know where the bases are. Really? Those motherfuckers, yeah, schizos. I've had a few of those. At restaurants?

Or just walking down the street? No, just usually at comedy shows. Yeah. Yeah, Those motherfuckers. Yeah, schizos. I've had a few of those. At restaurants? Just walking down the street? just usually at comedy shows. Yeah. Yeah, usually at comedy shows. Do you ever walk down the street? That's a weird thing I just asked you. I mean,

because like when, you're always either driving, you're going somewhere, you ever go for a casual walk? How does that work? Not around, well I do, I walk my dog.

Right. But no, I don't walk around LA. Nobody does. Nobody walks in LA. I was like, pockets of walking in LA. Okay.

So time out real quick. Okay. Real quick story. We're time with Rich. So I landed, right? And you know Boston, the deal in Boston. Yeah. So I landed and a buddy of mine picked me up from the airport and I got to where I was

staying. I was staying in the mission district. And you're like, look at all the sun, first of all. It was freaking great. The sun was awesome, right? I was like, look at all the sun, first of all. It was freaking great. The sun was awesome, right? I was like, oh my gosh, sun. No gray skies. And then I looked down, literally homeless people everywhere.

What is going on with that? It blew my mind because it literally, so I went to the gym in the morning and I was like at 7 a.m. And I saw probably just as many homeless people living in tents next to buildings as there were people commuting to work. Like thousands. Oh, yeah. It's amazing.

Have you been to Skid Row yet? No. God, I'm scared. You got to go. You should go while you're here because it's like the Grand Canyon. It's like the Grand Canyon of homeless people. Why would I want to go there?

Because just you can't believe the, it's like, did you watch uh the battle of winterfell game of thrones no don't tell no spoiler no i won't give any spoiler alerts i'll have to have a come with the better okay yeah here's a better analogy did you ever see i am legend yes okay remember when all the fucking crazy zombie people are running at once yeah that's what it's like you serious i'm telling, you can't believe the volume. Doesn't someone even like... Because in Boston, listen. They freeze to death and die, right?

Yes, exactly. So no, in Boston, we hide our homeless people. We have shelters and stuff. We hide them. For the most part, downtown crossing area, Park Street, whatever. They're like the junkies that have the whole gangster lean. They just lean and close their eyes and stuff. Right, right.

For the most part, right? And then it gets cold. They scatter. I don't know where they go, but you don't really see them that much. I'm not being rude. I don't mind. It's great.

But insane, but they're in your face, man. San Francisco is the craziest. It was insane. So honestly, I know one of my friends, he said, listen, come to my house, whatever. We're going to hang out for a bit. School, no problem. Went to his house. It's a small place, not badly, listen, come to my house, whatever. We're going to hang out for a bit. School, no problem. Went to his house.

It's a small place, not badly 1,000 square feet. Pretty nice. He goes, yeah, things are a little tough. Can I borrow some money? I was like, borrow money from me? What are you talking about, dude? You're doing okay. He's like, yeah, we're living paycheck to paycheck.

I was like, what? What are you talking about? I'm like, this is like a decent place. The house that we were in was a $1.6 million house, and it was this big. And I'm like, everything's expensive, man. It's so stupid. And then another friend of mine said, listen, hey, come to my house. And I pull up to the house.

It's a warehouse. They live in a warehouse. That's actually cool. You can live like blade it's remember it's cool snipes lives with chris christopherson it's yeah no you're right you're right he had the motorcycle he had the fucking charger the dodge charger but it sounds cool when you have kids living in a warehouse isn't that great no so so that's the thing is that like it's a common thing I've noticed for people to live in either abandoned buildings, warehouses, and cars. You know, people that live in cars and the amount of smashed windows that I've seen here, I couldn't believe it. Well, most of those people living in cars are actually stand-up comedians.

In LA, everybody has a fucking story. Like so many comics come here and, you know, when they first settle in, they live in their car. That's super normal. That's just crazy. Like 10 of my friends lived in their car. They live in cars. They used to, at least, and then got an apartment eventually. Got a bigger car.

Well, that's an issue we're having around here. We're having around here with these people that live in caravans. They live in these mobile home things. I've seen them, yeah. If you drive around this community, you go down certain streets, and you just see these mobile homes. Massive caravans, yeah. Yeah.

And they have towels over the windows. I saw that. And they're cooking meth inside of there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bro, these are dirty people, some of these fuckers. So how come... So again, in Boston, we just kind of say, hey, there's no likely no loitering. Well, they're kicking people out now because businesses are complaining because there was one business where this guy had parked his caravan right in front of it.

This is where a buddy of mine works. And this dude had laid out his like a blanket on their front lawn and was sunning himself in front of his caravan. So the front of his building became this guy's lawn so this guy in this caravan was literally using they were sharing grass right so he's got this multi-million dollar building and he's sharing it with a homeless guy right who's cooking meth or i don't know if it's meth but some white noxious right yeah smoke that comes out of the place yeah it's i couldn't so it's it was different for me. The weather was awesome,

but that was a big thing, and I feel like as I'm walking around more, if I see a large standing body of water, I'm like, there's a homeless guy living there too?

People are just everywhere. They're everywhere. I'm telling you, what you saw is nothing. Well, you gotta go to Skid Row. What is this? Is that Skid Row? Skid Row.

This is Google Maps. Skid Row. I just started snooping around. They must have cleaned it up right before the camera drove through. It's clean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That ainid Row. This is Google Maps. Skid Row. I just started snooping around. They must have cleaned it up right before. A little camera drone. It's clean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That ain't shit. That ain't shit. Let me tell you something, man. Look at that. Look at all that to the right and to the left. It's fucking crazy. So how do people have businesses there? They don't.

Or they just deal with it. They just deal with it, most of them. Most of those people, they just put all gates and locks and shit and deal with it. So what's on Skid Row business-wise? Back up where you just were, Jamie, where you just were. Well, it's a lot of warehouses and shit. But the interesting thing is this area is getting, air quotes, gentrified. So this is where a lot of businesses are going now.

They're opening up apartment buildings. Right. And a buddy of mine has lived there, my friend Magnus, Magnus Walker. He's a famous car guy too i don't know if you know who he is he's got all these videos of porsches old he rebuilds old porsches he's got this crazy dreadlocks and beard and crazy englishman but he's been living down there forever he and he has uh this warehouse where he has it set up where you know his living space is one one part of the warehouse then down below he has these cars. Right. And he has it all set up.

But if you drive down some of these roads, you'll see like these super expensive apartment buildings that are going up now. And then a block over, you see these homeless encampments.

Right. And people think it's like cute to be around like all this dirt. What is this? There we go. Nice. Yeah, look at that.

So that's someone's apartment. What's going on here? Yeah. They just set up tents and then the cops kick them out and they just come back Dirt What is this? There we go Nice Yeah look at that So that's someone's apartment What's going on here? Yeah They just set up tents And then the cops kick them out And they just come back And they move And then they come back

But they make these encampments And you just have to deal with it So it's like If you live in that area You know You just have to jump over needles And try to figure your way through it I feel terrible

Because No it's sad Most of this Most of this Is either drug addiction Or mental illness Those are the real Real problems Do you guys have no

Drug addiction or mental illness Like places that you could Go to for help here I don't know what it is man I don't know enough about it I'm I'm Entirely ignorant

About how What's going on I know that If you talk to people That work in the field That work with these folks Right They say that it all really started to happen.

Look at this guy. He's like, run over my legs. Oh, my gosh. Fuck, I need disability. Oh, my goodness, man. That's crazy. Crazy. People laying in the street.

Everywhere. Honestly, if you were to take a screenshot of what you just showed me, I'd be like, okay, that's some third world country. Right. This is L.A. People can't even afford to live in L.A. I know. It might as well be a third world country, though. I mean, it might as well be the third world country though I mean it might as well be the apocalypse it's the apocalypse for those folks I mean at least

they're they're around all these cars and shit but I mean there are thousands of homeless people in that whole skid row area right next to the mission there yes that's one of the is one of the things that keeps them there I guess they have like four beds like three beds in the whole thing I don't know that's wild but they have they allow most of this to thing? I don't know, man. That's wild, man. But they allow most of this to go on. I don't know how often they break it up and make people move, but the numbers are so high, there's not much they can do. Man, that's crazy. That's sad, man.

It's sad. That's super sad. But what do you do? How do you fix that? I don't have any solution. I mean, you can't tell people this shit. What do you do? What is that?

It's a documentary. Remember Praws from the Fugees? Yeah, yeah, Praws. He went and spent three days down there like undercover in quotes where he had people filming him experiencing it then he'd come back and do like an interview like what he just went through and it's it came out 10 years ago so it's it's different i don't know if i'm i'm assuming it's worse now but it's definitely not good in this in this documentary it's crazy so So I was on my one wheel, right?

Just like riding by. I was commuting back and forth. By the way, that thing is badass. It's pretty crazy, right? Yeah. I rode yours today. You did ride mine. It was good.

And after watching you scoot around effortlessly, I was like, how hard can it be? You need one. You should get one. I also don't need broken elbows. Like honestly, it's good for you. It's a good core workout. I'm sure. It really is.

It's a great workout. You sit up. I think it's a good core workout it really is it's a great workout you sit up i think it's a better core workout yeah i have a sit up i'll show you this uh hip and glute machine from rogue where you put your ankles in this thing and you lean all the way back go all the way up yeah you have some next level shit here by the way thank you some cool stuff man it's awesome it's a man warehouse it's really it's this place is fuck can i live here sure all right's tons of room. Bring a tent. You camp out on the jujitsu mats. But yeah, so I was riding my one wheel past this kind of overpass. And there was a tent there.

And like a lady sticks her hand out and she offers me a chocolate, what was it? I think it was a chocolate ladybug, right? It was a ladybug wrapped in like that tin mixed with chocolate or whatever. I'm like, oh, I'm like, no, thank you. No, thank you. Right back again the next day, offers to me again.

I was like, no, thank you. No, thank you. I was like, you know what? I'm going to like, you know, do something nice, right? So I get five bucks and I was like, I'll give it to her. You know, it's a nice gesture.

I ride up, you know, I give her, you know, I hand her the five bucks. As I start slowing down on the one wheel, other people started popping their heads out of the tents and they actually saw me give her the money. And immediately a guy runs out and like snatches it directly out of her hand, snatches it right at hand. Someone else comes around the corner,

takes it from him and they start getting into this scuffle. And I'm just like, I've never seen anything like that before. I know I'm really passionate about that, but I just can't stop thinking about it. It's crazy. It's really crazy out here, man. It's crazy. And everyone comes to LA, California to get their big break. Like, oh, I'm going to be like a famous whatever, a famous actor, singer, exotic dancer, porn star, whatever.

And the struggle is real out here. It's real. It's real everywhere. But whenever you get giant groups of people, you're going to get a higher percentage of people that are out here that are homeless or struggling. Right. Again, I don't know what the fact what

what's the solution yeah no idea uh you know i know they don't put enough effort into it i mean just whatever whatever the solution is that's one of the arguments that who was it someone made was it share someone unlikely had a really good argument like that everybody is so concerned about illegal aliens getting into this country and so not concerned about our homeless problem right and what the fuck is that about like there's people right here right now and you know we're not taken care of right and you're like but these people from other countries they're trying to oh but which i do but my take on that though is but those people are trying to do better they just got fucked right whereas the other people live

in america okay that's too many events it's share look at her yeah that's what happens when old lady does she still look that good what's she going back in time bro how old is she she's 12 she went back in time if my state can't first of all this is my problem right why is this bitch capitalizing every word oh that's frustrating oh my god she's capitalizing every word? Oh, that's frustrating. Oh, my God. I just noticed that. She's capitalizing all of them, and then afterwards, she's capitalizing the first letter. Yeah.

If, capital, M-Y, capital, S-T-A-T-E. Does she have someone to write this for her? I don't understand. Must be. Must be. She's got an assistant. She's got an assistant who hates her. She's like, I'm subtly going to make this bitch look stupid. I'm tired of her and her fake pictures and her photoshop filters fuck you share can we hey can we just for the hell of it can we find like a recent photo of share like how old is share actually she's 150

she i would say she's 65 how old do you think she is let's take a guess How old do you think she is? 60 Maybe 70 72 72 Damn She's actually about to turn 73 Are you serious? When I was a kid Well that makes sense

Man I'm 51 She doesn't look That's her like 20 years ago No way That's her yesterday You asshole No way

You're Misogyny Is that what money does? That's someny. Is that what money does? That's some vampire facial. Is that what money does? I've got to get some money. Yeah, you've got to get that money. Money gets you good Google search pictures.

That's all it gets you. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's legit. Yeah, she's getting there. But that's what they sound like when they get to that age. They start talking crazy. Is that her real hair? 100%.

She bought it. She owns it. She does own that hair She looks pretty good man Yeah man She looks good Is she married? You want that? No I do not

I don't know why I asked that That was a weird Well the move is Like you know Really get her to sign No prenup You know And how much time

She got left Cha-ching Cha-ching I mean if you can hang in there For 20 years What are the odds That she can too I got waited out.

You got waited out. Man. That's awful. Good for her. This is announcing our tour this year, this picture. Oh, shit. This is a recent photo. What the fuck it is, bro?

That's not a recent photo. Let me tell you something. People use my old pictures for my tour. I don't even ask them to. They just like, if you find that picture of me against a brick wall, we took that shit back at the old studio. That picture's like Four years old Yeah she's

She's on tour Congratulations Yeah good for her We were talking about Vampire facials That some ladies Jeff told us This lady

Two people got HIV They got AIDS Yeah Not necessarily AIDS Sorry I dropped the gun I know I dropped the gun

I apologize But it's more fun To say AIDS than HIV I'm sorry I apologize for him with HIV AIDS is like It feels like you're it's more fun to say AIDS than HIV. I apologize for being with HIV. AIDS is like, it feels like you're not even supposed to say AIDS. Yeah, like you can't say it. It's like if you say AIDS, you're like, whoa, you insensitive asshole.

Slow down, brother. Two tests positive for HIV after vampire facial. So this vampire facial is girls get jabbed in the face with some, is it plasma? What is it, PRP? What are they doing? Didn't Kim Kardashian get that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she took pictures of it on the Insta.

I don't understand. So, wait a minute. Don't they get a new needle every time? Use the same needle? What's going on here? No, if they're... There's Kim. Beautiful.

Oh, my God. Hashtag awesome. I don't know if they use other people's blood for the facial. What? Yeah, I think that's probably what's going on. I don't think it's that it's a used needle. I think it's that they're using someone else's blood. Why would you?

This doesn't make any sense. Like, does this make sense to anyone? No, because I would think that if you drew blood, you would draw it from yourself. Oh, so it takes it from your body puts it in the center of you and then put it right so that is basically platelet-rich plasma so but why why would anybody get hiv unless you're giving it to yourself maybe they already had hiv bam lion myth busted blaming it on mexico wow as per usual what why did she do it on her nose she did it on every part of her body but her nose yeah she's scared of her nose? She did it on every part of her body but her nose

She's scared of her nose She wants her nose to look old Just kidding Just kidding LOL So what happened to these fucking people? Did they really use an old needle? They probably already had AIDS People are goddamn liars

Think about it for a second Why would you take an AIDS test before? I took an AIDS test before? Right. You know? Ooh, getting deep. I took an AIDS test before and after my facial and then I didn't even

have AIDS until after my facial. Congratulations. Right. Yeah. That doesn't make any sense. That's like the

Indian footage. They found footprints of what they think is Bigfoot in India and people saying, hey, asshole, this is an animal hopping. This thing's only got one leg.

If there's a Bigfoot, it's a one-legged Bigfoot, like some Dr. Seuss creature. They're like, it looks stupid. That's not two feet. That's not bipedal. What do you guys do? Look at that. That's one leg. Look at that.

Yeah. Boing, boing, boing. That's an animal jumping, you assholes. Jesus Christ. The thick part is where their butt lands. The front part is their paws. Right. And they just keep going.

See? You see one of them, it's even broken up. Like, look at that one picture where, like, one of those footprints is actually two separate marks in the snow. Yeah. I'm not even a wildlife biologist. The one right there. I'm not even a wildlife biologist.

You're not. That's a rabbit, bro. That's a rabbit. Those look kind of big to be a rabbit, though. That's pretty big for a whole body rabbit. You mean like the butt? Yeah, like a fucking big-ass rabbit. There's some big Those are kind of big To be a rabbit though That's pretty big for Like a whole body rabbit You mean like the butt Yeah like a fucking Big ass rabbit

There's some big ass rabbits How big do rabbits get In the Himalayas Dude have you ever seen I don't know That's what I'm wondering If this was in the Himalayas Like what would it be

What is your animal It could be Well one of the things This is very interesting About animals Is that when they go Further north Contrary to logic

Like what you would think They actually get larger. You would think, well, it's colder up there. They probably get smaller. A little thicker. But no, they preserve their body temperature by being larger. That's why moose are so big. They're the furthest north of all the cow species. That kind of makes sense to me.

Totally makes sense. If you get a deer from Mexico, they're tiny. They're like 100 pounds. There's a deer called a coos deer, and a really big one. It's 100. Cows are coos, depending on who you ask, C-O-U-S. But it's a variation of the whitetail deer that's really small. It only weighs like 100 pounds.

And it's in Mexico. A full-grown one is like a dog-sized. And then there's other ones that are in Saskatchewan, the same species, that are 300 pounds. How do you know so much about deers? Because I kill them and I eat them. Oh, you're a hunter. I forgot you're a hunter. That explains the giant bow outside.

Yeah. Ah. That's how I get my meat. Nope, please. You don't go to the supermarket like everyone else? I do go to supermarkets. Occasionally. But most of the meat that I eat, I try to eat from animals that I kill.

Where do you hunt? In LA? No. LA is tricky. The tents get in the way of your line of sight it's hard to line up yeah right but you can get a lot of coyote hunting in la if you want there's fucking coyotes everywhere out here man would you eat a coyote from la uh i don't think i'd eat a coyote period right yeah unless it was a goof uh or i was really hungry you can eat them though

i mean you can it's just meat yeah it. You'd have to cook it really, really well, but when you cut away all the fur and mange and all the shit on the outside, you just get into tissue. Where do you hunt typically? The mountains. Usually, every year I go to Utah. In the mountains

of Utah, I go elk hunting. What do you got, Jamie? Further explanation on this. Oh, it's a bear. Yeah. Okay. They call a Yeti something different. A Himalayan brown bear or a Tibetan blue bear. Oh, what they call.

With all due respect, what we call Yeti is with all probability. Oh, no, no, no. Okay. It's not like they call the Himalayan bear a Yeti. It's like they're saying that it was probably a bear that was making those marks. That makes sense. If those are big marks that the bear is hopping

through the snow, if it's thick snow, that makes sense. That guy Kunal, he's a nice guy with all due respect to everyone. Very nice guy. The single footprints

are when the bear walks on four feet. Yeah. That makes sense. All right. Yeah. So yeah, so you go to Utah

and you just wait. Well, it's a lot of hiking. You know, you go and essentially you go to Utah And you just wait Well, there's a lot of hiking You go and essentially You go where you know that the elk Are going to be in the area And when they're in the rut, which is when you hunt That's when it's legal Which means they're mating and breeding and smashing heads together

Then you hear them You hear them scream at each other And you're ready to be killed Well, they are definitely ready to be killed then Little do they know Then you gotta figure out how to be killed. Well, they are definitely ready to be killed then. Little do they know. Yeah. Then you've got to figure out how to sneak in on them.

Right. But they can't help themselves. They just, they're competing with all these other males. So they're always like, screaming at each other and smashing heads. And occasionally you'll find one that's dead that was killed by another bull. But you don't eat that. No. No, no, no. You could.

I mean, you certainly could if it was like a recent kill. Right. If you knew. If you got to it like right when it was dying. The blood was still coming out of its body. But you will find them. They get stabbed and they kill each other. That's the whole reason why those antlers exist.

It's for war. They just fuck each other up. They don't even use it to defend against other animals. Like wolves and shit. They kick the wolves most of the time. How do you get the thing back? Those things aren't light. You have to do what's called quartering it which is you take the legs off and you take the the front legs off and and then you take the meat

off the carcass and then you take the heart and the liver and uh the the edible organs and you have to pack it out so you have a do you have a crew that goes with you? Or it's just you with a big-ass knife and bow? Look, I'm not very good at hunting. I'm like, if hunting was a martial art, I'd be a blue belt. A blue belt is like your white belt, blue belt, purple belt, brown belt, black belt. I'm not a black belt. I'm like a blue belt. Maybe I could get my purple belt if I work real hard this year.

But I go with a guide who's going to take me to the places that I need to go and show me, and a guy who's an experienced outdoorsman who basically teaches you. It's like having a trainer in martial arts. Exactly. Like a sensei. Yeah. He knows the landscape.

He's a hardened outdoorsman. Right. These guys never get fucking tired. And they'll go and take you and show you. But then it's your job to execute the shot your job to get close your job to stalk in your job to make sure that you don't get what's called winded means the animal smells you the winds at your back and the wind carries your scent towards the animal so you have to move around there's a lot of thought that goes into this

there's a lot of thought i thought you just go get the gun go pew pew i don't use a gun i use a bow which is crazier yeah but I have used a gun I have really I shot a bow once and it didn't go so well it just kind of it's fun just shooting targets

is really fun it's very cathartic it's like something there's a release when that arrow finds its target it just feels really good it's probably some

primitive shit from back we used to rely on killing things with bows and arrows like accuracy but there's something about hitting something like when you're shooting something at a target and hits it

It's very very sad very rewarding. Yeah, and when you do that with a bow and arrow, it's very difficult. It's more challenging It's more rewarding. Yeah, I've never used a traditional But I mean I have like a couple of times but I've never really tried to shoot with like a traditional bow or Gun, but also like that. No. No, I have a you draw it I mean you have to pull it back but it's a compound bow or a recurve bow. Oh, you have the kind of gun but also like that. No, no. I have a, you draw it. I mean, you have to pull it back but it's a compound bow. It relies on these mechanical,

these gears that these, what are they called? Cams. Is it like the bow in Walking Dead? Have you watched The Walking Dead?

No, that's a crossbow. It's a crossbow? Yeah, that's a bullshit bow. What that is is a shitty gun. Okay. So this guy's got a trigger. He did pretty well with it though.

I mean, he killed a lot of zombies. It would make me very angry. Okay. Very frustrated. Okay. First of all, he doesn't even have a broadhead on that stupid thing. He's shooting them with little pencil holes, and he's killing them instantly.

Well, that's all he had access to. Bitch, make a broadhead. Make a broadhead, bro. Break into a Bass Pro Shop. Get yourself some broadheads. You know, come on, man. I actually did see a few Bass Pro Shops in Walking Dead. They just walk right past them. I was like, what are you guys doing? Yeah they just walk right past them yeah get in there brothers guns and nets and yeah camping gear

kayaks um so that's a crossbow and there's a that's a very controversial uh weapon amongst outdoorsmen why is that because they use those during uh bow season okay and there's a reason why bow season is like the if you looked at, like, statistics across the board, if you have what's called a tag, like, say, if you wanted to go deer hunting, you'd have to get a license, and then you'd get a tag. And if the tag was available for the area you wanted, you'd pay a certain amount for that tag. Now, if you get a bow tag, they make the bow season earlier. You have a much higher likelihood of failure with a bow than you do with a gun.

So, say, like 50% of the people that got a tag, it's usually not that high, but if 50% of the people that got a tag for a rifle were successful, it might be 10% with a bow. It might be even less. It might be even less in some places, depending on how rugged the landscape is, how hard it is to get to where the animals are. And you have to be able to shoot far accurately. Right.

So do you do most of the shooting when you go up there? Do you have the- I do all the shooting. Oh, you do? Yeah. Yeah. I shoot them myself. Yeah.

You have to do that. That's impressive, man. That's a manly-ass thing to do. It's a- Well- You know what's funny? I don't do it, too. You do a lot of manly shit, I noticed.

I know. I'm probably compensating for something. Yeah. I didn't want to say that, but yeah. It's funny, because- It's inevitable. You do a lot of- I noticed the whole MMA stand up, making everyone laugh, and then I didn't know you hunted as well.

Well, you know what it is, man? I don't have anybody telling me what to do. So because I don't have anybody telling me what to do, I gravitate towards things that I'm really interested, which is why you're here. Right. You know what I'm saying? I mean, I found out about your story. I was like, that guy seems cool.

And then I saw your YouTube videos. I go, oh, he's cool. cool all right let's do this yeah i mean that's like to have that kind of freedom in your life is a beautiful thing and i feel incredibly fortunate that i have that kind of freedom so i indulge it i indulge it like a little baby right like a child like i just gravitate towards things that i like to do and you know people could say it's stereotypically toxic masculinity or whatever okay yeah whatever i like it i'm nice i'm a nice person yeah but i gravitate towards manly shit i like watching fights i like doing martial arts you like fighting watching fights like i like hunting i like cars i like these things i mean i'm what am i gonna

pretend that i don't like them to make other people feel happy yeah some people feel intimidated by that like oh it's too manly oh what a jerk that's the problem is you don't like them to make other people feel happy. Yeah. Some people feel intimidated by that. Like, oh, it's too manly. That's the problem is you don't want to look like an asshole, which I've experienced. You know, I look like an asshole. People tell you that. Really? Why? I look like an asshole to me.

I'm sure I look like an asshole to other people. That's not true. I don't think so. I appreciate that. If I saw you like, wow, this guy looks like a decent guy coming out of that fancy Tesla.

Actually, I would think you're an environmentalist. Probably a douchebag. Yeah, probably like super vegan-y. Yeah, like, ugh,'re an environmentalist. Probably a douchebag. Yeah, probably like super vegan-y. Yeah, like, ugh, look at him. Really annoying. Right. Yeah.

Doesn't want your kids to get vaccinated. Yeah, doing the shit you want to do, that's definitely a big deal, man. So I definitely respect that about you. I think more people should do that. I think one of the things that we have a problem with people doing what they want to do is because we don't get to do what we want to do right so when we see other people they're like yeah that's bullshit we get mad or we're like he doesn't even really like that stuff or he's you know oh yeah you're you're just falling into the typical stereotypical masculine behavior maybe explore your sensitivity man why would people say that

because people love telling you how to do shit. I hate that. It's usually men that are bitches. Yeah. There's a lot of those out there. Funny how that works. Yeah. Do you have any names for me? No, I'm just kidding. Well, I'll write them down.

I'll write them down. So speaking of that, so interesting story for you. So, yeah, I was kind of talking back to your guy back and forth about being on the show. And the craziest thing happened where, you know, I was out here to actually work on a Tesla-related project. Oh. And the top secret is going to come out in a couple months. But basically, I was at my job, right?

And then I was like, hey, listen, I got to take a week off to go out to California and work on this project. And then I was talking to your guy, and they're like, hey, listen, if you're going to be out here, come back the next week as well. You know, he could say, hey, listen, you have two weeks out here. I told my boss, and they're like, hey, listen, if you're going to be out here, come back the next week as well. You know, he could say, hey, listen, you have two weeks out here. I told my boss, and he's like, listen, man, like two weeks is kind of a long time.

We don't have any coverage. Like, you know, I know you're going to be on Joe Rogan. That's really cool, but I'm not sure if I can let you do that or not. So I made a decision following in your light. I said, you know what? Then I'll leave my job then. Oh, shit. Yeah, I left my job, man. Damn. I left my job then. Oh, shit. Yeah, I left my job, man.

Damn. I left my job, which is why I'm here. I need a job, Joe. I'm just fucking with you. Did you really leave your job? I did, yeah. Good for you. It was a big thing because I had this whole meme thing going on my YouTube channel.

And I used to say, oh, I have a full-time job. I can't work on these builds. I can't do this. I can't do that. It was getting in the way. And you have no idea. I can't work on these builds. I can't do this. I can't do that. It was getting in the way. And you have no idea. I finally left. And this is kind of, I was reading your story a while back about how you got started in the whole comedy thing, how you went out, you started in Boston, went to LA. And it just felt so liberating because literally, you know, when you're doing something

that you're not passionate about, that's literally eight to ten hours of your day doing something that you just don't really want to do. It's most of your day. Yeah. It's most of your day. So it's insane. So I thought to myself, you know what? Everyone's in the rat race. Everyone's rushing to get somewhere.

You know about Boston. You're rushing to get on the train. You're rushing to get somewhere that you don't really want to be. You're rushing there to work for eight hours for someone else doing something that you don't want to do and it just gets taxing man yeah it was it was it was just taxing so i and you're not going to do your best with the things you do afterwards if you've been doing this thing for eight hours right four hours that you have before you really have to go to bed when you get home at night right you're not going to have the same kind of energy that you had at noon or at 10 a.m or whatever it was when you woke up or when you got

to work you're what you're dealing with is this past this crossroads right you've hit this path where you can decide to either not take a chance right and just you just slowly take like little incremental steps towards what you really want to do right or take a risk right and when you take a risk yeah you don't have health insurance yeah you don't have dental you don't have you know right that's what the risk is all about but that's that's the only way and people are like yeah but what if i fail but you can't think like that because if you think like that you're gonna fail so and second of all yeah you might but then you got to do it again right and if you continue to just fail and

do it again one day you'll figure out why you were failing if you're paying attention and if you're doing your work and then you'll find something that you can do that you're successful at if somebody wants to hire you if you're good at your job if you go to a place and you're valuable to that employer you could be valuable to yourself you just got to figure out how to do it or what it is that you want to do that you could do without having a boss, without, and something that feels natural,

something that you gravitate towards when you get up in the morning and go, I'm fucking pumped. I'm going to work for myself. Yeah. And I'm going to do my thing. Right.

There's not a time where I ever come here to do a podcast where I go, fuck, I can't believe I have to do this. Right. Not a time.

That makes you feel good. Thank you. Yeah. Not today. Not ever. Never. Never. podcast where I go, fuck, I can't believe I have to do this. Right. Not a time. That makes you feel good. Thank you. Yeah. Not today. Not ever. Never. Never. I mean,

there's times when I leave and I was like, what the fuck was that about? Yeah, I can imagine. There's a couple. Yeah. In a thousand

whatever podcasts I've done, there's only been like a small handful of those that have been like, what the fuck was that? Right. If you can do that, man, if you can find that thing

that you love to do, whether it's making furniture or fucking painting or whatever it is, if you can find that thing that you love to do whether it's making furniture or fucking painting or whatever it is if you can make a living doing that god damn that's everything it changes the world the world becomes a better place that's the goal man so so we'll see so again i took some cues from uh from some inspiration from you when you left boston you're like you know what i'm gonna do this comedy thing i want to figure it out so what what was that like for you so when did you make the determination to like, you know what? I'm going to do this comedy thing. I want to figure it out. So what was that like for you?

So when did you make the determination to say, hey, you know what? I work at this gig. This isn't the thing that I want to do. And you made the jump. What was that like? The Boston thing was super lucky. I was only 25 or less. 24?

Damn. Yeah, 24. And I was doing stand-up and I was driving limos during the day And doing a bunch of different odd jobs and shit And then I got seen by a manager Who was coming from New York to Boston To scout for new talent I just got dumb luck

I wasn't even supposed to be on the show And he asked me to go to New York And do some spots in New York I did some spots there And then next thing you know I was living in New York. I signed a contract with him, and I just packed up my shit. And my grandparents were still living in New Jersey. They live on North 9th Street, which was like –

when the time when they first moved there, it was a pretty nice neighborhood, middle class. But then as Newark has got kind of funky – It's like Skid Row now. Yeah, it's not – well, it's just – it was the next door neighbor while I was living with him. They broke down his house door because he was selling crack. Oh. He had a dope Audi parked in his driveway. Yeah.

And they smashed his door with a battering ram. It was a legit. That was an experience, yeah. Sketchy neighborhood. But that's what I did. I just packed up my shit and moved. I mean, I didn't have any money I didn't know if it was going to work out at all

But I knew this was a chance But I was young When you're 24 You're like whatever Health insurance Whatever I didn't have health insurance for a long time Do you have it now?

Yeah Okay good That's good You got it? When you quit this job do you have it? My wife has it Okay So that was a scary thing

I was just like shit hey listen What did she say? She said go for it oh i like it good you got a good one yeah go for she's like yeah go for it because the tough thing is that uh it's you know i have my little my little shitty youtube channel and yeah but your youtube channel is pretty big you're saying it's a shitty youtube channel you know it's funny i say that but it's hard because i don't want to be you want to be a dick i don't want to be a dick yeah but i have this massive following well how big how many subscribers do you have i think 400 that's pretty goddamn good or something like that that's pretty goddamn good yeah it's not bad that's pretty goddamn good so yeah guy who fixes

cars rebuilds teslas and shit yeah it's not bad right and to think that i've amassed that kind of following only fixing really one car right now imagine if you put all your time into that. Bingo. Bingo. I'm hoping for. And after the show. I'm hoping for. What's it called on YouTube?

Rich Rebuilds. Oh, shit. Rich Rebuilds. Subscribe. See that little subscribe button? Subscribe, yeah. Click that. Oh, there you go.

And it's great. Your videos are really cool. Oh, look. You're subscribing. You subscribe? Oh, look at us subscribe right now. Subscribe. Awesome.

That's a perfect shot of me, by the way, the frozen frozen. But your videos are excellent. You're really good at it, and you're really good at explaining things, and you have a good sense of humor when you're doing it, and it's interesting. Yeah, thank you. It's interesting stuff. Yeah. It's funny because I'm not a super genius.

There's other people building Teslas left and right. Are there? Is there a lot of other people that are getting involved now there is they're getting more involved in it and they're starting their own little channels and stuff but my thing is i want to be a little bit different i want to add some kind of humor and like comedy to it to make it interesting because quite frankly not everyone thinks building a tesla is really that funny or interesting or fun you know so adding a humor it's spin to it makes this yeah Yeah. No, you're great at it. And, you know, when you look at any other kind of car, like if you buy a Chevy or if you buy even a Porsche

or something like that, you can find these little mom and pop fix-it shops. Right. You can find them all over the place. Absolutely. All around, you know, you go to West Hills, there's a bunch of places that fix cars. Right.

Exactly. Hey, there's something wrong with my transmission. Can you look at it? No problem. They put it on a lift. They go, oh, you got a leak here You got this you got that But the Tesla

You're on your own son That's what I'm saying man You either bring it to Tesla I know man Or nada And I get it from their point of view They don't want a bunch of people Monkeying around with their shit

Yeah But even like Mac Like you can go to the genius store Which is gross The genius bar yeah Whatever the fuck that name is That's gross Genius bar yeah Genius bar But let me see your IQ tests that's a bit pompous get the fuck out

here i've met some of them people they're not geniuses i'm smarter than you whatever so you can either go there or you can go to these little mom and pop mac stores those do exist exactly and they're not approved but they can fix your computer they get shit done yeah they get shit done so that's the goal for me. So, you know, I'm starting my own shop. I'm starting a shop called the Electrified Garage. Ooh, I like it. Yeah, not bad, huh?

It's a good name. I got some swag for you, too. And that's the biggest thing is because there's no mom and pop shop to fix Teslas. Right. Like right now, it's the only game in town. They're pumping out, what, like 5,000 cars a week now? Like 5,000 a week, right? Which doesn't seem like much, but for a small company, it's insane.

That's a lot. How many is that a day? It's 30 days. It's a lot. It's like, what, 20,000 a month? No, no, 5,000 a week. Oh. A week, yeah.

So it's like 20,000 a month or so. Jesus. How about that? So, and then all these- 20,000 cars is a lot. That's a lot of cars, right? Tell you that? That's a lot of freaking cars.

Yeah, I think they're too busy. So right now, you know, there's only two places to fix Tesla's in my state. So when someone's like, hey, I want to get my car fixed, you call Tesla. They're like, yeah, it'll be about maybe a week. I'll get you in like maybe two weeks. Oh, you get you in in a week? Yeah, get you in a week, maybe two weeks. And then they go order the parts?

Sometimes three weeks, sometimes a month. Yeah, people wait months, man. So that's the goal. So I'm opening it up, and it should be open in probably another month or so, and then we'll drive people there. I have a fantasy of one day building a car. What do you want to build? 69 Camaro.

I thought you had one. No, I don't. For some reason. But you have a whole bunch of cars. I lose track sometimes. I have a 65 Corvette. But I just... Oh, you had...

No, you had a Barracuda. Yeah. That's what you had. I had a 70 Barracuda. Yeah. Yeah, I got rid of that. Why? It had problems. Okay. Yeah, I had rid of that. Why? It had problems.

Okay. Yeah, I had all the problems fixed, but it was more designed to look really good. It looked really good. It was a beautiful car. Yeah. But it wasn't my style. I like a car that you can, like that little Corvette, that thing drives like a modern car.

Like if you drive that thing, it handles, it's got fuel injection. It's a gorgeous car. Thank you. But it feels like a car that is not dangerous right that barracuda is like anytime you want you stomp the gas if you're taking a turn the acid would go totally sideways which is kind of fun yeah a little bit yeah but it's so front heavy like it had a giant ass engine and it was a it was beautiful beautiful car it also wasn't a stick shift and that annoyed the fuck oh it's automatic it was automatic sorry to hear that i know it was ew

but um what was my point i forget that oh yeah that i have a fantasy of building a car like to spend the time and actually put it together because i would imagine that the way you feel when you drive that tesla is like this crazy feeling of satisfaction that you made that thing. Much like the way you feel if you hunt and you eat the steak from an animal that you shot yourself. Right. No. You're driving that car around. You built that fucking thing.

Right. It's all about the hunt. Well, you know what? Part of it's the hunt and the chase, though. Yeah. Because now that the car's built, I'm kind of like, all right, now what? Right. You know what I mean?

After you hunt, after you take that kill shot, you want to do it again. Yeah. Or you want to hit something different. Right. You want to kill an elephant next to someone on an elephant. But like, you know, definitely not elephants. I like elephants. I'm sorry.

Sorry about that. That's one I don't get. That one, I don't. What do you even do? People kill elephants. What do they do with that? They eat them. They eat them.

What? Yeah. Well, the thing is, when they do kill them and the villagers get to eat the food they get very excited about it yeah apparently elephants are delicious i don't get that's a lot of meat it's so much meat but that's the thing that if um it's one thing that we don't want to ever think about when it comes to like um conservation these animals but the the money that a hunter would spend to kill an elephant goes towards making sure that the elephant population is healthy and pays for all these game wardens or what they call phs in africa and then the money um also goes to some of these villages and then the food the meat

from the animal goes to these villages but still you're shooting're shooting a fucking elephant. Yeah, I feel like bad. It's weird how you feel bad for killing an elephant, but other animals, it's like. Like a rat. You kind of deserve it, yeah. Yeah, a rat gets hit by a car, you cheer. You're like, yay. Ah, you fucking loser. Because I hit it myself, right.

Yeah, we're totally biased towards certain types of animals. Right. For sure. It's like why we, how do they say it? Why we feed pigeons, but we shoot bald eagles. Yeah. It's majestic why we uh how do they say it why we feed pigeons but we like we shoot bald eagles yeah it's majestic yeah i know you want it do you see that beluga whale that they caught that had a net it had a harness on it and they think that the russians were riding it no they think it was they were using it as a bio weapon like they would strap a missile

to this thing oh and then tell the whale to go to. How do you tell a whale to go to a boat? This whale was trained to go towards boats and it had this harness on it and they think that what they did was they trained this thing to go towards boats. Oh, that's choking the shit

out of that thing. Well, you could use something like that to hold a bomb. So you would train it to go towards the boat and then when it would hit the boat,

it would detonate the bomb and explode. So they must have given this whale some sort of food reward for banging into the boat and because that's sad yeah so they they cut it free of this uh this harness i mean this is total speculation they don't know where the harness came from but i'm hoping someone was trying to ride it and they weren't it's probably a bomb though i'm pretty sure it's pretty sure it's a bomb i'm pretty sure look at this whale found off norway coast believed to be spying for maybe like a bunch of cameras and stuff but that might just be clickbaity bullshit too right who wrote this article are they an expert are they a security expert yeah do they just have a whale with a harness right we don't really know like how often do whales with harnesses show up the fact that you're an expert can speak intelligently about it i think that the u.s government oh it's it's red equipment of saint

petersburg on the strap oh shit oh it's not yeah but if i wanted to trick people into thinking that the russians were involved i would make it super obvious i'd write that too yeah why would they write that so you gotta fake train a whale and then send it look what they're doing bro you gotta look into exactly made in r Made in Russia by Russia. Exactly. Yeah. I would write made in Russia on it. It was all in English too.

Didn't even use Russian letters. Property of Mother Russia. Love Russia. I think the government did that with dolphins. See if that's true. The government trained dolphins for weapons. 20 of them or something like that? Yeah.

I think US government did that. Trained dolphins. What the heck? They trained dolphins to blow up boats. Damn, them, something like that? Yeah. I think U.S. government did that. Trained off. What the hell? They trained dolphins to blow up boats. Damn, dude. What a place we live in, man. Where else, man? What a place we live in, man.

We basically trained dolphins to be jihadists, but they didn't know it. They didn't know they were jihadists. At least a jihadist knows. Right. I mean, you tricked them into going for 72 virgins and blowing up. You tricked them. Oh, God. But the dolphin doesn't even know it's going to die.

Yeah. Right. They probably would be like, what? Wait a minute. What? I get fish? I love fish. He just thinks he's going to get fish if he bumps into the boat.

What's this thing on my back? Oh, whatever. I'll do it. Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Poor things, man.

I never see it coming. Yeah. This says it's a myth. Oh, it's a myth. What's a myth? Well, that wouldn't be the first time. The Navy trained 36 dolphins. I spread disinformation.

Yeah. Well, who says that? The Navy? No. Well, it's this thing. Those stories are coming from 2005information. Yeah, well, who says that? The Navy? No, well, it's the same. Those stories are coming from 2005. I like how Joe second guesses everything. Is that true? Is that true?

Who wrote that? But then in 2015, it says that the U.S. Navy's combat dolphins are serious military assets. So maybe they started it, stopped it, and started it back up. They did it. I don't get it, though. So here's the thing. Why are they sending dolphins? Why don't they just build robots to do it?

Because the robots aren't as advanced as a wild dolphin. They can't go through the water the way a dolphin can. And it would look like a robot. A dolphin, they're not going to do shit. They're always in the water. So if you can get something that's an organic part of the environment, and they're not going to kill every dolphin that comes near the boat. So they see a dolphin, they think it's just a dolphin.

And then it, bunk, boom. Why don't they have a missile painted like a dolphin? By the time they get they think it's just a dolphin. Right. And then it, bunk, boom. Why don't they have a missile painted like a dolphin? By the time they get it, it's like, oh shit. Because it would be going too fast. Ukrainian killer dolphins escape naval training base

in search of love. Yeah, this doesn't seem like it's accurate for some reason. I don't know why. They escaped during Hurricane Katrina. They've escaped multiple times. I don't know how we're,

if we're just training more. These dolphins keep escaping after they get out. Wait, are dolphins smarter than us these dolphins keep escaping everything wait are dolphins smarter than us they keep escaping they're super smart how do we not

keep a hold of these dolphins not on the loose I don't know it's very confusing when you look it up Ukrainian military dolphins not actually

on the loose who says that that's the government g.gov hey you know speaking of dolphins my fun dolphin fact

is that dolphins are one of the few animals that have sex for pleasure Are one of the few animals That have sex for pleasure Yeah One of the few Chimps, dolphins, people Yep

And dogs Well dogs are trying to breed That's just for fun No I guess When they fuck your leg What are they trying to do I guess you're right That's not

What are they trying to prove That's a good point Good point What are they trying to prove Yeah Alright let me ask you this Because you're all into technology Go ahead

What do you think about aliens? God, this doesn't seem tech related at all. Yeah. Do you think they exist? Do you think they've ever visited here? Oh, God. No. No.

I don't think so. I think they would have destroyed us. Really? Yeah. But when we visit primitive tribes, we don't destroy them necessarily. We try to leave them alone. Do we try? We end alone do we try but we end up destroying them one way or the other anyways i feel a few i think we even some people

do for sure even when we try to be nice it's like yeah right look at that tribe let's analyze them it's like a few photos right let's give them food and they die pretty much yeah there's always that there's that image a famous image of these uh tribes people in brazil an uncontacted tribe and they're painted their body paint and then they have arrows drawn at the helicopter exactly yeah yeah yeah now they know about helicopters slowly but surely they're gonna freak out it's the new sun god yeah now they worship a new religion yeah see think about it do you imagine if you were an uncontacted tribe and all of a sudden a fucking helicopter shows up whenever i see a helicopter show up i freak out in general yeah in, in general. You know what I mean?

So imagine, that's insane. Have you ever been in one, helicopter? Yes. So weird, right? Right, it is weird. Just flying around, like, okay, we're in the sky. The way it makes noise, absolutely. But no, I think, I don't know, man.

I think they would have destroyed us. They'd be like, these guys are stupid. Don't you think they would want to watch? Like, if you go to the zoo, right? You go to the chimpanzee exhibit, and you watch them swing around and shit. People want to watch like like if you go to the zoo right you go to the the chimpanzee exhibit and you watch them swing around shit people love to watch the chimps it's probably one of the most popular parts of the exhibit right and we love watching them like oh look at them look at them and if you could go someplace where you could watch them in the wild yeah like if there was like a webcam right you could tune in to the congo right now right you

would definitely i would definitely do it how do we know they're not watching us right now, though? Exactly. That's the thing. They probably are. They probably are. But wouldn't they just like watch and observe? As long as we don't blow ourselves up? So we would never know then in general.

They could live among us. We wouldn't know. I mean, I would imagine that if there was a civilization that's on the cusp of some major breakthrough as far as artificial intelligence goes, which is where we are. And in many ways, I think that we're intelligence goes, which is where we are. Right. And in many ways, I think that we're all super fortunate to be alive right now. Absolutely.

Because even though this is a time of incredible turmoil, it's also a time of amazing potential and change. I'm greedy as hell, though. I want to see more. I know. Me too. I want to see more.

Me too. I really want to see a robot uprising. I'm dead serious about that. Don't. Don't ask for that. I do. I really do. And I want to be like robot uprising. I'm dead serious about that. Don't. I do. I really do. And I want to be like 90-ish years old,

and I want there to be this super advanced AI robot just to take over and start shooting shit. And I also want, because Elon Musk, he'll still be alive. His head will be in a jar. And he'll be like, I told you so.

I told you. There's a robot hand. I told you. That's what I want to see because it's like Terminator shit. I don't want to see that at all. I want to see the aliens come in and stop us right when we're about to hit the

green switch to turn on artificial intelligence. I want the aliens to come down with their little legs and grab you and go hey, hey, hey. No, no, no. Look at this. The robot gave this guy a soda. It's wrestling with him. It's going to grab your dick like that. I might like it. You're going this guy a soda. Boston Dynamic, yeah. It's wrestling with him. Right. Yeah, it's going to grab your dick like that.

I might like it. You're going to be beaten off. That thing's going to come in. Let me help you. But the thing is, what's stopping that from not wrapping around his neck and just crushing it? There's nothing stopping it. If you get hacked, think about the same people that helped you make your Tesla work. They're going to hack into this fucking thing.

It's going to run right through your walls. It's like Skynet. It's going to eat your dog. Have you seen the ones that flip? Yeah. They have them on trapezes like Cirque du Soleil. Actually, have you seen the part where they actually beat the robots? Yes.

Like, yeah. You know what my favorite part of that is? What? Well, they beat the robots to find out if the robots fall over. Right. They kick them and shit. Right. They're not just, you know.

Peter released a statement. Yes, I saw that. Saying it's not cool to kick robots. Shut up, Peter. What do you get involved in everything for? You know what I mean? It's not cool. Wait, how about a robot coalition?

Should it be a robot coalition? Where we stand with robots to say, listen, we built these things, but we can't hit them like that. All right, let me ask you this. Here's the real question. If you're 90 years old and you're still lucid, but your body's failing, your knees are gone, and your hip's bad, and your back hurts all the time, and your shoulders are all torn apart, you can't pick things up, and they say, Rich, we can download your consciousness into this artificial body that's like you if you were Anderson Silva when he was 30 years old. That's like Black Mirror shit. Yeah.

Yeah. They give you this super powerful body. Right. And it's, you're going to feel it just like that, but now you're going to be

like a super elite athlete and it's going to be you. Yeah. And we'll put your consciousness, or you can just go to black and see what happens in the afterlife. Yeah.

Or you can just let this 90-year-old body die. This is the silliest question ever. You're going to take this. Of course I would take it Bird in the hand right This afterlife might be bullshit I can enjoy myself right now

Wouldn't you do that Fuck yeah I actually want to do it right now I'm not even 90 I think that's how they're going to get us I think slowly but surely They're going to replace parts Like there's already amazing

Artificial hands That they're creating And you know limbs That are articulating limbs. Here's the thing. Would you want one of the limbs that looks like a human limb or would you want a robotic limb like in Terminator? I'd want a Terminator limb for sure. Would you for sure?

I want everyone to stare at me. But what if it was nice and soft? Do you think we're close to RoboCop then? Would that be maybe the first step? Yeah, that's probably right. They're probably going to do that with soldiers and shit. Yeah, definitely. All the money's in the military.

Yeah. Exoskeletons. They'll drop $10 billion on that. I met one of those robots. I saw one of those at Pechanga Casino. At the mall. It's the most ridiculous thing ever. Real weird.

I'll fuck that thing up. The one in the middle, I put my hat on it, and it started freaking out. Did it get mad at you? Yeah, it just started spinning around in circles. I wish it had a gun on it. Oh, no. Then people would take it seriously. Well, that's the worry about those dog things, those dog-like robots, that they just put

guns on those motherfuckers. That is an episode of Black Mirror. Remember that episode? No, I didn't see that one. Yeah, it's called Heavy Metal. Really? It's one of the best episodes. This lady's running from these robots.

They have guns on them? They have dogs on them? They have guns on them? It looks like a dog. It looks like one of those things. Yeah. I've got to check that one out. Yeah, and it has potential,

like, actual real technology that it's using. So, like, it's not outlandish. Yeah, the thing is about Black Mirror,

everything is, like, that could happen. That could actually happen. Yeah, even the whole, the thing where they implant memories and you,

like, live this crazy fake life. Right. That's all, that's on the horizon. So you know the interesting part about Black Mirror is that there's a pro and a con to everything. So there was an episode where a woman wanted to keep better track of her daughter. So she implanted that chip so she could see whatever her daughter sees. Then her daughter got older and older and she started to see some wild shit that the kid was doing right but then to your example what would be the downside of putting my consciousness in someone with a jacked and like ripped body well the the downside would be would you even really be a human anymore or

would you be some sort of a thing that we've created that keeps your brain alive right but who cares who Who does care? Well, here's the thing. Would you want to live a whole nother life? Like, how much time do you want in this fake body? Do you want to be immortal? Do you want to keep going forever? Not forever, no.

I mean, well, at 200 years. You know, there's an old story about that, about a guy, goddammit, it's like an old legend, I, goddammit, it's like an old legend about a man who kept killing his sons in order to live longer. Yeah. Like that God came to him and told him if you kill a son. Keep killing your sons. And he lived to be like thousands of years old, but he just had no one around him that cared about him. Isn't that the story of Job in the Bible or something like that?

Whatever, keep going. Since from something. Yeah. I don't remember. But the point is, like, when you got to 200 years, if you said, okay, I'm going to take this body and I'm going to live in it for 200 years. But at 200 years, I'll be done. That's it. But 198 years comes along and you're still like a 30-year-old Anderson Silva.

I couldn't do it. You're having a great time. Right. That's a good point. But you might be super wise. That's the other thing. If you think of how smart a person is, they keep their shit together and they become like a mature older man who's just wise understands the way the world works someone who's well read and really has taken the time to do the work on themselves personally they know themselves better than they did when

they were a young foolish man that's hopefully most of us as we get older but what if you could live to 300 years how wise would you be then my biggest concern isn't necessarily about being wise i think it's about my loved ones. Because I watch, you know what I mean? Because you see a lot. In 300 years, you see a lot of shit. That's like three wives. Actually, maybe four or six.

Who knows? But as they pass, you have your kids, and your kid will live to be 80 years old, and you're just like, hey. You got to get your kid a new body. That's more incentive to work hard. I wouldn't want to go on forever, though. Because I feel like, what's the the world gonna look like in 300 years? Maybe it'd be dope Maybe it would be the shit

Maybe it would The most fascinating thing I keep thinking about Is us going to Mars Do you want to go? Nope It's a one way trip I don't want to go to Antarctica I don't want to go anywhere where people can't live.

You go to Utah in the woods and shoot deers and stuff. People live there. Really? It's beautiful. There's streams and trees. It's gorgeous. But you were just saying that you don't like when people come up to you at a restaurant and harass you.

You're living alone. I like being around people, though. That's why I go to a restaurant. I'm not in a cave somewhere trying to eat. You know what I mean? I mean, there's nothing wrong. I feel like you would want to do that. I feel like with all this,

all this, all this manly shit that you do, like men want to just go and just like light fires and caves and shit. And just like, dude, going to Mars is stupid. You can't come back. That's like going to the shittiest neighborhood in the known universe.

You can get to, but guess what? One way to guess what? Your name. Oh yeah. We'll live forever. We'll live on. Well,

that doesn't mean shit. I guess assholes. No one cares. No one else's name lives Oh, yeah. We'll live forever. We'll live on. Well, that doesn't mean shit, I guess. With what? Assholes. No one cares. I guess you're right. You know who else's name lives forever? Hitler. Yeah. Who gives a fuck?

That's a good point. What are these? Is this Elon Musk's space station on Mars? Bro, that neighborhood sucks. Yeah. That's like living in Barstow for the rest of your life. What do you even see there? Yeah.

If you get trapped in Barstow in a glass bubble, like halfway to Vegas. Hey, remember Biosphere? Remember that? Yeah, it's Pauly Shore. Yeah. No, but they did a real one. Oh, that's. Hey, remember Biosphere? Remember that? Yeah, it's Pauly Shore. Yeah. No, but they did a real one. Oh, that's right. Like a real biosphere.

The actual biosphere. Pauly Shore and who else? Baldwin. Stephen Baldwin. Yeah, that's right. They did Biosphere. That didn't go so well. No, people went crazy.

They go crazy. Why don't we do that again? People go crazy, man. They don't want to be locked together with each other. It's not normal for everybody to be just stuck in some bubble with each other it's been 25 years since biosphere since eight scientists sealed themselves in a biosphere for two whole years what ended up happening to them i forget they probably went on a fuck rampage

took more than three months just to make pizza why really what does that mean they didn't bring a guy they probably grow the ingredients from scratch or something. Oh, yeah. Of course. Of course. Oh, yeah. They had to live. They had to be sustainable inside that little ecosystem. Were they allowed to bang each other?

How could you forbid that? How could you? That's all people want to do in general. But it's work. Work environment. Harassment. Yeah, I guess you're right. Who's HR?

Who's going to stop you? That's right. Who is HR? So there's 25 people in there? 25 scientists. And that's the thing. Do you think that if people, if we didn't have laws, if we were in a lawless society, no police, would we just kill each other?

Yes. Really? Barbarians. Because it didn't happen there. Who was the law there in the biosphere? No, I think most of the time we don't even, what does it say, Jamie? Nevertheless, the team completed the mission to merge from the outside world after two years of solitude.

Okay. I think most of the time you don't need the law but is that because we know the law exists and people have formulated society in the sense that you could always count on the law so that keeps people in check i don't know and it depends on where you live like if you live in a poverty stricken crime-den neighborhood, do you need the law there more or do you need the law there less? Like what is maybe people being arrested a lot causing some of the problems that you're seeing in that neighborhood? And there's some of those arrests because of nonviolent drug offenses right like how much how much are you turning because there is a certain percentage of people that get turned into criminals once they get introduced into the the judicial system as a non-violent person person who's just driving towards that you're stuck in a fucking a full penitentiary with criminals like real criminals like violent people and then you're just a guy who sells weed like oh my god yeah fuck what am i doing

here this is why that's real too this is why we need to analyze those uh isolated uh environments those isolated ecosystems with people that's never seen anyone from the outside see how they handle shit you know they kill each other they kill people that don't pull their weight should we do that kill the weak no i don't think so there's's a great book, Sapiens, from Noah, what is it, Yuval Haradi. It's a great book. But it just outlines the history of the human race. And these various tribes that have dealt with weird shit like that. There's certain tribes that when they see old ladies that are moving too slow,

they just kill them. Damn. Yeah, and this one guy was talking about, I think it that book i'm pretty sure it was that it was sapiens i read a bunch of books i listened to i should say i don't want to lie listen to them on tape a bunch of them back to back on runs right that were dealing with this very same issue and um there was talking about this guy who was like he killed a few of his aunts damn and yeah and they were like all the old ladies are scared of him because he was the guy that they hired to kill them when they weren't pulling their own weight. I'm like, okay.

But maybe that, is that a bad thing though? Because if you're part of- It's bad if you're that old lady. That's correct. If you're part of an older tribe, if you're part of a tribe, right? And you guys have to keep moving and keeping things going because you're going to get killed by another tribe. And then you have weaker members of that tribe that are holding the entire tribe back

what do you do what do you do do you risk i mean do you that's the real question would you would you would you know would you put a bullet in you know your friend's mom because she wasn't pulling her weight and because that that depends on the entire tribe itself she's slowing the whole tribe down see we that's the thing that you do when you don't have much. Right. Right. When you have surplus like we have, we value our older people. We want to care for them.

Right. And we see. Have them with us and stuff. Yeah. There's a famous video of these two comedians. You've seen that video. There's two comedians that find this lady who's trying to buy gas with pennies and shit. And they give her money.

And she starts crying. It's a tearjerker. It's a serious tearjerker. What happens in the video? They give her money. They starts crying it's a tearjerker it's a serious tearjerker but what happens in the video they give her money they find some lady yeah they just they they just these two young guys get out and give this lady money and and she starts crying and she's at a gas station yeah she's like gas is like five bucks a gallon i'd cry too probably pain with like pennies and shit she's like she's yeah and so they give her some money and she's she's like weeping you know

it's really her husband died just a week ago damn She's like weeping You know It's really Her husband died Just a week ago Damn It's like It's heavy Turn it off I'm gonna start crying

Yeah Stop it I wanna see you cry Joe Don't Hey Joe When was the last time you cried Not that long ago Really

Yeah I cry for happy things Oh really Yeah You don't cry for sad stuff Not as much man I'm all Like if someone does something

Really amazing I'll start crying Really Yeah You saw my videos You're like Oh god I gotta get him in here as much man i'm all like if someone does something really amazing i'll start crying really yeah you saw my videos you're like oh god i gotta get him in this guy at the show yeah when people do good things i cry yeah i get i tear up for shit like that gotcha yeah same here yeah i'm not into dudes who cry about like stupid shit yeah like having too much money oh god no shut up you shut up man

you know if he cried why is it always me i ran out of gas Oh god no Shut up Shut up man You know if he'd cry Why is it always me I ran out of gas Yeah I know Well that's what happens When you drive And it says Empty you dumb fuck

Jesus Christ Should have bought an EV When do you think It's going to happen That EVs are all electrical Like with the solar Oh Not for a while man

Solar density is tough Because You need a lot of panels But out here Yeah that's true Well out here you need a lot of panels. But out here? Yeah, true. Well, out here, I think a lot of people are rocking it that way in two steps. They get the solar from the roof or from the panels, and then it goes into the battery, and the battery, and then they charge it. So a lot of people, what they do is they just – it's cheaper.

They just get a whole bunch of panels, and they reduce their electricity bill by not having – you need the battery pack itself to store the electricity. And a lot of the times people don't have a large enough battery pack in their homes to store that energy to charge their cars. You know what I mean? A lot of people just have the panels to offset the price of electricity that feeds back into the grid. But what I mean is the car itself. Like Fisker had that for a while where their roof had a solar-powered thing

that was powering the radio. Yeah, it's like a gimmicky kind of thing is it gimmicking it kind of is because you're only because you're very limited in size the amount of panels that you could put on the roof it's really only enough to like trickle charge like a couple things you know what i mean you need like a bigger array or like heavy uh solar density and that's coming but like there's not enough to really like power the car from it you know what i mean while you're driving maybe there's not enough to really power the car from it. You know what I mean? While you're driving. Maybe there's an alternative way

to gather the sun. To gather the rays. Because that would be the most amazing thing ever. If we all had cars that were electric that just ran on the sun and there was no need for oil.

It's all done. Yeah, I know, man. Is that the Fisker, Jamie? Yeah. Yeah. So that solar array on the rooftop, I think it powers the radio. Yeah.

So like you have that much, you only have so much room on the roof and all it powers is the radio. Right. Imagine the motor. Yeah. Ridiculous. It wouldn't even try it. But that didn't even exist 20 years ago.

So who knows? In the future, that would, it seems like it could be possible. Yeah. You could figure out a way. I think at some point, yeah. To make it efficient enough, especially out here. Yeah. There's a ton of sun out here yeah that would be the most amazing thing on the roof i don't understand she's trying to be hot bro trying to get some dick yeah look at her

trying to sell cars yeah what's up with the glasses she looks really pale too she's gonna burst into frames is that share that's like share a little that shares fetus yeah Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think that would be, that would really be the future. We had no reliance whatsoever on oil. That'd be badass, man. What do you think about, speaking of reliance, what do you think about people no longer relying on driving their own cars? What do you think if everyone owned a Tesla, right? What would that world look like? Everyone put in autopilot when they went somewhere.

What would that look like? Because you've used autopilot, but you keep your hand on the wheel because you're nervous. I think in one day it's going to be amazing. But I think it's like if you bought Windows 95.

If you bought a computer in 95 and you had Windows, it would crash all the time. You get that blue screen to death. Right. It doesn't always work. Nope. But you can rely,

like Windows 10 does not, I've never had it crash, not once. Yeah. I think that that's what it's going to be like with a tesla i think there's going to be a few crashes yeah of course if everyone's driving these things there's going to be hiccups errors software problems glitches some people just dumb asses yeah yeah but then after a while it's just going to work you know

it's like if you look at the like we're talking talking about Windows or Android versus Apple, the old Android was dog shit. It was terrible. But I have a new Note 9, a Galaxy Note 9. You're an Android guy? No, I have both. You have both of everything. Yeah.

I like to fuck with shit. Yeah. That's why I'm interested in your- So what do you use two phones for? What do you need to- Are you a drug dealer? Work? Yes.

Yeah. Okay. One number I give to people who are squirrely. Really? A suspect? Yeah, yeah, yeah I'll turn it on every now and then and check text And go, Jesus, this fucking guy

So what number would you give me, Joe? I'd give you the real one I'd give you the iPhone If you get a green text from me, you know you're on the squirrely list That's a good point Everyone text Joe right now And be like, hey, listen uh what's this bubble showing up i like the idea of supporting uh alternative platforms that's one of the reasons

why i'm i appreciate windows and i appreciate android but i think that apple has a better platform this is a better ecosystem absolutely i just i despise their lack of options with their laptops. I despise it. I think it's unfathomable how such an enormous company can have such shit things to type on when they cater to creative people. Yeah. It's their way or the highway. This is how it is, and that's kind of it. But when I have one at home, I have a mechanical keyboard. You like those things? I love them.

Clickety, clickety, clickety, clickety. Do you customize yours at all? Nope. Do you spec it out? Make it all super sweet? No, I use a Razer, one of those Razer ones. It's a gaming one, but I use it for typing. Why do you?

I never use a mechanical keyboard. As a tech guy, I'm embarrassed to admit I've never used one. I just use the built-in laptop one. What are the benefits of it? I'm a feedback person. I like tactile feedback. I like to click. I like to feedback person. I like tactile feedback. Yeah. I like to click. I like to feel it.

And the same reason why I like a manual transmission. Same reason why I like mechanical things. Maybe you should get a phone that has buttons on it. I should, bro. Like one of those. Remember those T-Mobile sidekicks? Yes. Like the foot phones and stuff like that?

Those are the shit, man. I remember people had those. I was jealous. Yeah. What about people that can still type With just the keypad When they have to do Four presses

To get an S Yes There's a lot of people out there Still rocking that The old Nokia's Like you pressed like Three, eight times To get to the E

And stuff like that Or playing Snake Remember that game Snake There it is There's a sidekick Oh damn Brought it back No they didn't

Is that what this is What year is this What They didn't bring that back This is coming back That's bullshit I don't know how popular Is that what this is? What year is this? What? They didn't bring that back. This is coming back. That's bullshit. I don't know how popular it is. Is this for sale right now?

What version of T-Mobile website is this? There's no way. This is from like 1996. T-Mobile still has sidekicks? Bro. Get sidekick support. Oh, it is. It says 4G.

So it is. What? What do you think world we're living in? We'll do whatever you want. Yeah. What do you want? You can get it. Who's going to buy that?

Joe, you should buy that. Paris Hilton's got one Look it's got a pink key That's insane What's that pink key for? Is that enter? Go back in time Yeah right

Time warp What the fuck man So that's like a Twitter feed That someone's looking at On their sidekick However you know what I will admit It was a struggle for me

To go from the physical Typing keyboard To the actual Me too Touchpad It was hard I didn't want to let it go I was Blackberryerry's bitch for

a little while. Longer than I should have. Right. You have one now? No. I'm going to draw something. No, I gave up on it. Tommy Black does. What's that? Tom Segura is all about that BlackBerry. He's bullshitting you. Do you not know that? It's a joke. I know. Those things exist? No one uses a BlackBerry. Well, they have the ones that

have the physical keyboard attached to a big screen. You've seen that? Does it slide down? I don't know. Yeah, those have the ones that have the physical keyboard attached to a big screen. You've seen that? Does it slide down? I don't know. Yeah, those are like all Android. Those are all Android powered now, I think, right? Yes. Yeah, all the Blackboards are.

How about a Windows phone? Ooh. Yeah. Right. That kind of faded into obscurity. Do you remember the Matrix phone that they clicked it and the mouthpiece slid down and everyone was super pumped like, oh, that looks badass. Can't wait until that comes out. No.

It never came out. They made a couple of them just because people, they were like $5,000 or something. Windows phones, it's weird that that didn't take off. A friend of mine had one of those. I was like, look at you. And they had those weird tiles. Yeah, the tiles, like Windows 10. Right, exactly.

Those tiles are awkward. They're still awkward to me. They're uncomfortable. I'm like, this is not the way to do it. So if you have a Windows phone now What are you doing? You're fucked Like you don't make them anymore You're like you're not getting updates

No You ain't getting shit They're just letting it die You're kind of just stuck in 1996 It's like 8-track What is this Jamie? It's a Matrix phone That same phone?

Re-released last year Ooh Look at that guy He's so excited Oh it's a slide Yeah that's like the old school They had a slider phone Oh

You think you look cool or stupid with that thing? Stupid. Yeah. So what are you doing, guy? Get yourself a fucking- It's like a banana. Get a real phone, you fucking dork. Oh my God.

But it does have the keypad where you have to do that shit. Who wants to go back to doing that? Assholes. Some assholes like it. T9 texting was pretty fast. I think you're a cocky prick if you do that. You shut your dirty mouth. The what?

The T9? I forgot how to do it. I forgot. I never knew. I nevery prick if you do that. You shut your dirty mouth. The T9? I forgot how to do it. I forgot. I never knew. I never knew. Wait, is that touchscreen as well? Oh, God, I hope it is.

This is just... This is so stupid. They got to navigate with that stupid thing. I hope this doesn't succeed. It's probably got Snake on it, though. Yeah. Snake was the shit, right?

Remember Snake? What is Snake? Is that a game? Yeah, the game. Old, old, old game. I have avoided games on my phone for a very specific reason why i have a problem with games like you get you get hooked on it yeah you have a badass gaming rig over there i saw that gaming rig the game room the land but

that's all for first person shooters right while we're here i cannot have a game that i love on my phone i cannot have that why because i'm a child yeah you get obsessed with it yeah i don't have that kind of control if i have a fucking awesome game that's on my phone yeah Why? I cannot have that. Why? Because I'm a child. Yeah, you get obsessed with it? Yeah, I don't have that kind of control. If I have a fucking awesome game that's on my phone, that's my life. My life's gone now because I've got that game

on me everywhere I go. What apps do you have on your phone? What apps keep you going? I have a bunch of normal apps like Instagram and Twitter. Right. But I have a bunch of cool ones

like some star map shit. What do you got? I've never looked for this but I just found someone playing Quake on their phone. Oh shit. What do you got? I've never looked for this, but I just found someone playing Quake on their phone. Oh, fuck! Yeah, now Joe's going to get that. God damn it!

Wait, is that an Xbox controller? What kind of controller is that? It's sort of like that. It's a controller you can connect via the ship, but they have Quake 3 ported on there. God damn it. See, why the fuck would you tell me that? I've never looked before. Son of a bitch.

It looks like it was two-dimensional, though. Or not 2D, but didn't have an up and a down. Yeah. That does. You have a new addiction now. Congratulations on your new addiction. Fuck. I'm not going to do it.

I don't have anything on my phone. I don't even have chess. I had chess on my phone for a little while, and I didn't even like that. Yeah. Because I started going, hmm, how do I get better at this? I'm like, shut the fuck up. Then I had to just shut it off. I'm like, put that goddamn thing down.

So you have to pick and choose what you want to devote your time and energy to. So what are your top three things that you put time and interest to that aren't your family right now? Well, work stuff. It's mostly work stuff or martial arts, right? So it's like work stuff is stand-up, which is the most time-consuming because I have multiple sets a night, and I'm always writing and always tweaking and listening to recordings. So you write.

So how do you do Your stand up stuff So I want to get into Shit You want to get into stand up Not really Well I was kind of Thinking about it

How do I get into Stand up comedy People watch my videos Like well you're kind of funny You're funny You should do stand up No dude Trust me I'm a professional

You're a funny guy You could totally do it Thank you All you have to do Is go to an open mic night Really Yeah What I suggest

Go to an open mic night And see how terrible Everybody is Right And then you'll be inspired to try because you're gonna be terrible too don't get me wrong i was terrible when i first started but you'll probably be better than most really yeah and that's all you need all you need is people if you say something people just that's all you need right just a little chuckle one guy in the front and you go okay i got an ember I got an ember yeah like I can do this

and then you'll figure it out and you'll get better at it and you'll work at it and you'll tweak it how old are you 36 you can do it you still have time

you're still alive when's a cut off date 40 shit kill yourself I don't mean that I don't mean that don't listen to me

you're done you'll never be anything just jokes folks just jokes kidding JK JK but if you if you're a person Who can make people laugh

And you are willing To dedicate yourself to it It's not like You have to have A certain amount of flexibility Or you know A certain amount of physical strength Right

No it's just Can you make people laugh Okay Then you can do it Are you going to pull it off Right That's another question So how do you get inspiration

Like how do you So you sit down Like yeah this is funny I'm gonna write this How do you get inspiration so you sit down yeah this is funny I'm going to write this how do you get inspiration for that I think it's

you have to be what I would call a professional and this is I've gotten this from Steven Pressfield who wrote The War of Art

which is a great book and I've also got it from reading Stephen King on writing and talking to a lot of different writers about how they

handle things if you just waited to be inspired and that's the only time you wrote you wouldn't have half as much shit right not even close written not even close half as much good material as you do if you decide i'm going to write yeah so i sit down and i write and sometimes i don't know what the fuck to write about and i just start writing. I just start rambling. Right.

And a lot of the, like the first 20 minutes might be total horseshit. It doesn't get me anywhere. But then I got an idea. What about that? Well, why the fuck do we do that? And then I'll start writing about that. Well, this is, and I'll make things up. I'll make up a fact.

Right. And then I'll argue against that fact. Right. And then maybe I'll find out what the real fact is and see if I can argue that way. And then I'll give up. I'll get to like 1700 words and then I'll shut the laptop and go what the fuck am I doing a common thing is when comedians steal jokes

so when you're writing and you're like yeah I'm going to do this this is an awesome idea how do you know that that content already hasn't been discussed well you don't always. You don't always. You could absolutely write something and have parallel thinking,

write something and not even know that someone's already written it. Right. But there's a difference between that and stealing. Like, you know, when someone's, like, if you come up with, if you look at something, whatever it is, like say maybe your wife sends you to the grocery store to pick up some tampons. Right.

And the price thing's all fucked up. And so the guy has to yell, price check on tampons. Yeah, right. There has been like a hundred guys who've done bits on that. Right. And it's not that they're stealing.

They probably didn't hear anybody do it they thought it was funny they thought it up themselves and they did it or maybe it even happened to them right they did it that's parallel thinking it's a common one right and then there's other people that did hear someone do it and they stole it oh that's a different thing that's the worst right but you could get both of those things from that same subject right that same really common easy to think of subject right there's a lot of those with cops and donuts. There's a lot of things that are like a part of the lexicon. They're a part of the way we talk.

They're a part of culture. And you could think you thought them up, but you didn't. It's almost like Seinfeld in a way. That shit happens to everyone. Sure. Right. Sure. But then there's stuff that's clearly yours.

Like if you did a whole bit about how you built a Tesla. Right. You know, and then you got paranoid. That'd be a heavy hitter. And you thought Elon Musk is plotting against you. Kill it and crush it. You could. I mean, that's something.

You don't do that. And that would be something that's wholly unique to you. I mean, how many fucking people have built a Tesla? Is there even 20 on the earth? At this point, yeah, probably. Maybe 20. Let's pretend. Yeah. to you i mean how many fucking people have built a tesla is there even 20 on the earth i i at this point yeah probably maybe 20 yeah let's pretend yeah let's pretend that out of a 7 billion plus population of human beings maybe 20 people have done what you've done but doesn't it get old though that one bit yeah it's old yeah but you can look in the same tussle no no no you just talk about

other things then right look you could talk about anything that you find interesting. Personal shit, technology, world events. Right. Worrying about the environment. Right. You know, all this shit. Anything. Yeah.

Did that whale really have a bomb strapped to it? Right. I keep thinking about that over and over. Why not? Yeah. I mean, and then if you, maybe it was like someone from CNN that fucking hates the Russians. Right. And, you know, like wanted to blame everything on the Russians.

Yeah. They got duped for two years saying that there was collusion and that Trump was going down and they colluded with Russia. Right. And then it turns out that the Mueller report doesn't really necessarily say that. Right. And then they're like, fuck, we got to do something about these goddamn Russians. Yeah.

So they hired this whale and they put a strap on him. I don't know. That was a good story. Shit. That's not bad. So you write all this stuff down, right? You write like 1,700 words, 2,000 words. Out of that, I might get one line.

Really? Maybe. So how do you memorize that stuff? I write it down and then I take it and I extract it. And a lot of it I put in notes on my phone. On your iPhone. Yeah, and that's one of the reasons why I like the iPhone is because when it i put in notes on my phone your phone on your iphone yeah that's one

of the reason why i like the iphone is because when i write something in notes they all show up automatically oh yeah it's all synced but i also have a thing called evernote and so evernote is my pc version so you do have apps so i have i so i transfer everything into both so one goes into evernote and then one copy of it goes into notes sometimes not like right now i'm a little behind on evernote because i've been using just the mac laptop for the last couple weeks yeah damn yeah so that's how i do it i go back and forth and you keep reading it and then i write it out on paper right and the write it out on paper part is really more just to highlight it and so i remember what the key points are. Right. I don't necessarily write it out in full.

I look at what I wrote out and then I say, okay, I know where I'm trying to go. Let me just try to go there organically. Right. So this one time I did a speech in front of about maybe like 160 people or so. I threw some jokes in there, which is actually pretty good. You ever get that weird thing where you're explaining a story and you didn't even get to the joke yet and then you start talking, people are already laughing. Yeah.

I'm like, wait a minute. That wasn't supposed to be funny. Exactly. That was a terrible moment. My friend died. Why are you laughing? It's one of those things. Sometimes people see where it's going and they plan ahead and then they start laughing.

Oh my God, I know where this is going. They see where you go like, oh God, is this going? Oh shit, where is this going? They laughing they start laughing there yeah yeah it's kind of one of those crazy things but no i i think i think i want to try it you should try it but i'm terrified you should try it most of our thing is like going up on stage and not getting a laugh because i'm that same prick that's in the audience like wow this guy's not funny at all jesus of course i have the freaking stage we are we are that person. I mean, look, especially if you don't know the guy. People love to talk shit.

It's fun. Yeah. Some guy goes up right in front of you and says some shit. This guy's not funny. This guy sucks. You're on a date. You know, you're like, fuck this guy. I could do that.

This guy doesn't have sex. It's normal. It's normal. Jeez. You're going to have jokes that don't work, and then you're going to have jokes that work a lot better than you thought. Right. And be like, wow.

But just, I can tell you're thinking about it. Yeah, yeah. So you should do it. The gears are turning. But you're also thinking about it in terms of the right way to think about it, like that your setups are going to get laughs. Right. And then you, that's, it's one of the weirder things about comedy is that it sort of, it kind of comes to life on stage. Right.

On the paper, all I'm doing is looking for seeds. on stage right on the paper all i'm doing is looking for seeds like i'm looking for points and seeds and things that make me chuckle while i'm writing it and then i'm taking it i'm like okay am i just fucked up or is this going to be funny and then i try to bring it out on stage and water it in front of all these people right that's the only way to do it you have to really develop it in front of people do you remember some of your old bits yeah you do yeah they were terrible i don't think so. Oh, my God. The earliest shit was awful. You weren't there.

No, I wasn't there. No, no, no. Stuff I've heard recorded and stuff. Oh, thank you. That was good stuff. When I'm in my Tesla, I type in comedy stations. Oh, right, right, right. I type in Patrice O'Neill, and then you come up all the time in terms of your skits,

Bill Burr skits and stuff like that. Yeah. Pretty good. Patrice is one of the greatest of all time. For sure. 100%. He's an elephant in the room. That was the best thing ever.

God damn it. It was hilarious. This day. It's awesome, man. Yeah. You know, there's a few guys you just wish you could get to that could just clean their health up. Yeah.

You know? I wish he was here today. He'd have a lot of cool shit to say, man. Oh, my God. It would be so valuable. I think all the time I sit around, I'm like, man, if Patrice was here, he'd have a lot of cool shit oh my god i think all the time i sit around like man he'd have some cool shit to say about that the closest we have to him today is really bill burr in terms of like ballsy stance against political correctness yeah but he gets away with it in a way that other people can't get away with yeah it's um yeah it's sad man yeah it's it sucks man because it was a diabetes thing it's like

fuck man come on man that could have been i didn't know him well enough you know i wasn't hanging out with him i was i was on the west coast he was on the east coast right if i knew him man i would have tried to talk to him but you know i tried to talk to ralphie may too that didn't work yeah people they're on their path yeah especially comics is the thing about someone who's that free, like Patrice O'Neill. Like, he really doesn't give a fuck. Not zero. He didn't give a fuck. Which would have made him hilarious.

He didn't give a fuck what he said about anything. Didn't give a fuck what he ate either, though. Yeah. Yeah. Just ate whatever the fuck he wanted. Did whatever the fuck he wanted. It was indulgent. Yeah.

That indulgent translated to brilliant comedy, but it also translated into him not taking care of his body yeah that's unfortunate man yeah i am so my big question for you is what do you you know you go to a party right everyone has that one thing that they can't stop talking about you have like hey i have a tesla you know hey you know i do yoga like hey i'm vegan what's the one what's your what's your party trick i don't have one what's the one thing that you can't stop talking about i luckily don't have one because i don't do a really i don't really go to parties if i do go to parties they're for my kids yeah it's like birthday parties and shit then you're just talking to parents yeah and they usually want to ask me ufc questions yeah or or they want to ask me about like what's elon musk like or they want to ask me

like you know when are you gonna get kanye on yeah you know like that on? That kind of shit. Yeah, so what's that weird thing feel like where you actually go out in public and you're actually amongst people and stuff? What are the most frequently questions they ask you? Those kind of questions. MMA stuff? MMA stuff is real common. Comedy stuff is real common.

Podcast stuff. Yeah, they ask weird questions, but the vast majority of people are cool. The vast majority of people are like, hey, what's up? Hey, what's going on, man? It's fun. It's all great.

Yeah. Yeah, it's all good. If you put that out there, like what I put out there, pretty nice. That's what I try to put out there. So that's what you get back. Right. So what's next now? What's next for Joe Rogan?

Are you interviewing me, man? What's going on here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You turned this around. See, I told you. Turn the tables. You're a natural. Yeah.

You're a natural for this. So yeah, so what is... There's no next. No, just do this. But the thing is, I'm trying to... Legitimately, I'm telling you. You're a natural. Yeah. You're a natural for this. So, yeah. So, what is... There's no next. No, just do this. But the thing is, I'm trying to... Legitimately, I'm telling you, there's no next. Because you're a successful person, right? I came in here, you pulled up in a black Tesla.

It wasn't salvaged. You didn't get it out of the ocean. I want to learn from you. I want to know the things that you do. The thing is... What I did is what you're doing right now. I took my own path. All right.

That's what you're doing right now. Yeah. own path Alright That's what you're doing right now Yeah Yeah I mean What your path is gonna be I assume you're gonna be doing More YouTube videos I'm assuming your channel's gonna grow

And I'm assuming You're probably gonna try Stand-up comedy You're probably gonna like it And you'll probably do a podcast too Kind of cool Is that how you got into the podcast? Look how easy you are at podcasts

You've never even done one before Tell Like people don't understand Like you're like How do I put these headphones on? Yeah Like what do I do with the mic? Seriously, what's this black thing in front of me?

Meanwhile, you're doing this like a pro. Yeah, thank you. I appreciate that. Look, you're even interviewing me. Yeah, I want to learn from you. But see, that's how this comfortable, easy nature that you have totally translates into all these things we talked about. Okay, that's good.

You can easily do a podcast. You could easily do stand-up. Easily. 100%. Well, stand-up's not as easy as a podcast. Yeah, it doesn't seem. Podcast is easier. You ever have a new stand-up person, you don't have to name any names, but they just suck

and you're just like, why is this guy, this guy shouldn't be. Yes. Yeah, there's a few that you go, ooh, I got to get out of here. Yeah. I can't be around this. You worry it's contagious. Yeah. If you watch someone that's really bad, it's one thing.

I don't know, not everybody, like Greg Fitzsimmons thinks it's hilarious. Yeah. He loves watching shitty comedians. But if I watch someone who's bombing, I got to get the fuck out of the room because I start thinking there's nothing that's funny. Things that are funny don't exist. Because certain people, like if you go to open mic nights, there are certain people that are just insane. Do you still go to open mic nights? Yeah, I'll stop by.

If I'm in the neighborhood and if I know, I want to peek in like once a year, once a year and watch a little bit. Because I want to remember. What it was like. That's where you started, man. It's the fucking wanting to get on stage and seeing the list of people. In the open mic night at the Comedy Store in particular, the room is well lit. Because they have all the, there's these signatures on the wall of like Robin Williams and famous comedians

and sam kinnison and those those are um all neon so that when the comedians are on stage during open mic night all that neon is on and the room is kind of fairly well lit right and then at the end of the stand-up they're like okay the no more open mic night boom those lights go off the room gets dark and then the pros go up oh and then you see this marked difference in skill and quality of material. Right. And you see like real professionals, you know, like Chris DeLille, Bill Burr. Yeah. Chappelle stops in all the time on open mic nights.

Yeah, they're no joke, man. Yeah. Chappelle will just show up at 11 p.m. just on a random open mic night and go up. So you get both things. You get to see people that have no idea what the fuck they're doing you get to see people that have potential you get to see crazy people yeah that are just insane and then you get to see like world-class comedians in the same night it's a it's a cool experience at the comedy store like monday nights okay i had to check that out no it's awesome used to be

sunday and monday yeah but then this place started getting too successful and they cut back on the Sunday night open mic night. That sucks, man. It does suck a little bit. A little bit. Yeah. So you live in a good spot because you're in Boston and that's like one of the best spots in the world for starting out.

I think I have to try it. It's weird because like I feel weird because I have a following and it's like, hey, listen, check me out on the comedy. It's like a weird thing. No, they would like it, man. You think so? Fuck yeah If I'm a fan of your videos

And I am a fan of your videos So if I was a fan of your videos And I wanted to go see you Live at a club Hey Rich is gonna be at this place Oh shit what time? 8 o'clock Okay let's go

You think he's gonna be funny? I don't know He seems kind of funny Yeah For people to get a chance To see you the first time You ever go on stage too And just be prepared

To eat shit Yeah If prepared to eat shit. Yeah. If you do eat shit, have some stuff to say about eating shit. How do I know I ate shit? You'll feel it. Yeah. Like, ooh, tastes like shit. Yeah.

You're like, mm. Yeah, it's definitely shit. Thanks for everyone. Have a good night. Yeah. Look, I encourage everyone who thinks they could do it to do it, because there's not enough of us, and there's only, you know. Is it a dying breed?

Is comedy a dying breed? No. No, i think it's actually on the up right now i think it's on the upswing quite a bit because i think there's more avenues there's more clubs to go to comedy is more popular than ever like if you go to the comedy store tonight it's sold out i have a show at the improv tonight that's sold out it's the places are show tonight yeah and you're here with me always i work almost every night except sunday and monday how much do you sleep i sleep a good solid seven hours what yeah what's it hard well i just was hard to believe i feel like i never i never sleep i don't know what it is you don't i gotta because i can't you know what you're a health guy yeah how do i get better sleep at night melatonin really take some melatonin I can't keep doing that though forever Can I? It's not bad for you

Really? Yeah Or sauna's good Getting a sauna before you go to bed It'll make you feel good But I have to have a sauna Yeah that's a problem Yeah

You can get one of them sauna suits You ever seen one of those things? No You lay in it It's like a sleeping bag Like an infrared suit Really? Yeah they make those

Yeah So I just go in like a It's like a water bed But it's like a bag that I kind of's like a water bed But it's like a bag That I kind of sit in Like a bag But it's Like a bag of water

It heats up It's like kind of heavy Yeah And it heats up And it's like Infrared It cooks your body I think I would just get

A turkey when I get out of that thing I think it's not that bad It's not that bad But it's really good It makes you feel good When you get out of it Yeah A lot of people

That help them sleep You have that Like that chamber here That's like a water- Sensory deprivation. What is that? It's an isolation tank. It's water-

I've heard of it, but what is it? You float. The water has 1,000 pounds of epsom salts. Yep. So as you lie down in that salty water, your body floats. Yeah. Half of your body's above the water, half's under the water. So your ears are underwater, but everything above your ears forward on your face.

This is your face. Yeah. Yeah. And then the water's heated to 94 degrees, which is the same temperature as the surface of your skin. Yeah. And then you shut the door, and you're in total silence and total darkness. You can't see anything. You open your eyes, total blackness.

That sounds terrifying. It's not, because you can just open the door anytime you want. A lot of people think that. Like, I'm going to get claustrophobic. It feels wonderful. It feels like, first first of all it feels like you're flying so you lean your arms back and once you kind of bump into the walls a little bit you got to center yourself and once you center yourself and then the water stops rippling then you just let your arms relax and you just float and it feels like you're flying you fall asleep and die my biggest concern right

now no it's only 11 inches of water and you're floating you can't drown unless you flip over face first you start breathing the water and please stop you can just sit up and you're you're fine there's no way to drown in it no one dies okay you're fine you don't have to worry about that and you're floating it feels great man yeah it feels great it's very relaxed so the concentration of salt is what keeps you afloat yes this is a thousand pounds of epsom salts in that tank wow well good for your skin too i found out about it first through uh the movie altered states i had heard about it it was a movie that was based loosely very very loosely on the legend of this guy named john lilly and john lilly is the guy who created this sensory deprivation tank do you know who he is no i do not, he also was a pioneer in interspecies communication

with dolphins. Yeah, he was a scientist. It all comes back to dolphins. Yeah, for this guy. He gave dolphins acid. He was a part of LSD. Who allows you to do that? Who says you can do that?

Well, in the 50s and 60s, you could do whatever the fuck you wanted. They gave people acid, you know, and they were MKL. Well, they actually shut his program down

because the woman that he had, he had this woman who was living with a dolphin and she essentially half of her apartment was underwater like she was her house was half submerged so the dolphin would come in and out of the house and sleep with her and then go into a tank it was like her husband or something that was the problem she was jerking the dolphin off oh the dolphin like would be distracted all the time but the dolphin stayed well of course he got jerked off all the time so they were were like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

We're paying for what? Right. They were trying to teach the dolphin to talk. Right. Right. So they're trying to teach the dolphin English words. But the problem was dolphins don't have lips. They can't make the sounds.

Yeah, their vocal cords can't make the sounds that we do. So they were trying to get it to go, hello. Jesus Christ. I was like, hello. Seems like a lot of work for this. A lot of work for hello. But it was really obvious that they have some sort of language. Right.

And so Lily, who was obsessed with it, he would set up a sensory deprivation tank right outside the dolphin tank and take acid and give acid to the dolphins. And he was trying to communicate with them. He was trying to communicate with them in some sort of a neighboring dimension. He was a trip. I mean, he would take intramuscular ketamine yeah shoot it into his his meat of his body and then lie in the tank and have these crazy ketamine trips while he's in the tank why well i don't know because i've never experienced ketamine yeah but apparently

there's something about that particular drug that lends itself very well to the sensory deprivation experience at least for lily and then you, too. Then you bought the tank. Well, I heard about that, and then I read a book called The Deep Self, and that was a book that Lily wrote about, and I think that one even had instruction on how to build a tank. He actually had set up all these plans for how you, like a blueprint

for how to build your own tank yeah use waterbed liners and yeah it's probably pretty easy right get a kiddie pool throw a bunch of people have done it a bunch of people have done lay down yeah you can do it but you have you know you really need um is there a filter at all probably not right oh yeah very heavy duty filtration system really yeah because the one that i have is uh it's a company called the float lab and the float lab is like the best they make the best tanks and the guy who makes is my friend crash and he's like a super scientist dude who's a mad genius when it comes to uh tanks he's like over engineering everything and making everything like it's like complicated as

i'll show you the whole system it's like all that stuff that's in the back of it is like essentially from a public water purification system. It's super heavy-duty purification. And it even pumps ozone into the water. Oh, no shit. So what do you do when – so let's just say someone were to go in there, right? Yeah. You just had a fight, whatever. You want to relax.

You go in there. When the person comes out, does the water change or is it just a filtered system? It's the same water The water's being filtered But nobody The only people that have been in that thing Are Dan Harris

From Good Morning America And me Really Yeah He's the only one That ever took me up on the offer To climb in there Most guys go

Yeah yeah I'll go in there And then they go That's basically what I did You're like You should go in I was like Yeah Awesome

Love you buddy Take all your clothes off And climb into my little tank Literally yeah I was stripped naked Rich, awesome. Love you, buddy. Take all your clothes off and climb into my little tank. Literally, yeah. Like, listen, I was stripped naked, Rich. Bro, there's definitely no cameras there.

Don't worry about that. How do I know that? Get that out of your head. Yeah. Trust me. But I bet, I guarantee you Boston, but Google sensory deprivation

tanks in Boston. I guarantee you. Oh, it's like a public service thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of places where you go and you rent them and it's like, you know,

50 bucks for an hour or something like that. That's not bad at all. It's not. It's worth it, man. There's a lot of places where you go and you rent them, and it's like $50 for an hour or something like that. That's not bad at all. It's worth it, man. There you go. Float. Restoration therapy. Where's that at? Float Boston.

I emerged more relaxed than I ever could. There you go. $80 for 90 minutes. It's in Somerville, in Medford Street in Somerville. There you go. Pa-pow. What if I come out and someone steals my clothes? $80 for 90 minutes.

I thought it was a risk, right? Well, I hope not. I hope nobody steals your clothes. Usually, you're in a room and you get to lock it. Oh, look at that. It looks so crazy. Do kids do it, too? Is there a kid in there?

My kids are scared of it, but yeah, they could do it. That's where they draw the line with daddy. They're not interested in floating. Wow. They'll eat bear meat, but they won't float. They won't float? No. Too weird.

Oh, my God. It feels great, man. I'm telling you. And it's also a great way for your body to absorb magnesium. Because Epsom salt bass are great when you have sore muscles. Well, when you get into this, this is so much Epsom salt. Yeah. You float in it, and your muscles loosen up.

And it kind of like all little impingements and tight areas loosen up. Yeah, that's one. It's a little pod. Yours looks like a safe. Yeah, it's much bigger. See, this is a... Is your a two-person tank?

No. Would you want to go... You can't go with another person, right? No, that would be annoying if your wife wanted to go and come on. What should we talk about? We talk about nothing.

Yeah. I'm not here to talk. That's why I'm here not to talk to you. Okay, before we go into the next dimension, I have to know about the curtains. I have six questions. I want to buy these curtains. Yeah. I'm not here to talk. That's why I'm here, not to talk to you. Okay, before we go into the next dimension, I have to know about the curtains. I have six questions.

I want to buy these curtains. Yeah. What is this? Samadhi's new lily pad, a float tank that hides in a daybed. Bam. Samadhi is the company that I bought my first tank from. They make great stuff. So that is- That looks terrifying, though.

What if someone's sitting on it and you can't get out? Oh, that's true. Like, hey, really, can you get off this thing? I really want to get out of here. I'm getting scared. Right. If like a fat dude gets drunk and falls asleep on the lid. Yeah.

And you run out of air. It's like, fuck. Wait, you can't run out of air. There's like a- There's no air, bro. There's no air in there. So eventually you could. No, no.

They pump air in there. Don't do this to me. There's actually- Yeah, you're not making- There's actually a variable speed fan on the one that I have that pumps in oxygen. Okay. Purified air. Okay.

So it purifies the air and pumps it in there. So not everyone's is that safe, though. No. It's like a sealed system. That one right there, the daybed one, could be a real issue. Yeah. If you had said, drunk fat guy.

Yeah, Rich, you have 37 minutes of air left. Yeah, it's like an escape room. That's another one. I'm in space. It has lights on it. What, Jamie? I said this is what yours looks like, but it has lights. Oh, that's badass. Similar. That's another one. I'm in space. It has lights on it. What, Jamie? This is what yours looks like, but it has lights. Oh, that's badass.

That's what yours looks like? Sort of. Sort of not. Similar. Yours is like black. It's like, whoa. Mine is the state of the art. You have lights inside of yours?

No, there's no lights. I don't need lights, bro. Yeah. I know what I'm doing. Yeah. I had one of these in 2002, so I've had one forever. Huh. I love them. We should all love them. Yeah. I think I had one of these in 2002 So I've had one forever Huh I love them We should all love them

Yeah I think they're one of the best tools ever For like thinking What else is a good thinking tool? Marijuana Yeah I heard you like marijuana Yeah do you?

You know what I have an interesting thing for you What do you got? A couple things So because I'm on a budget I let my job and everything I stayed at a hostel Damn

I'm doing some broke people shit right?. I stayed at a hostel. Damn. I'm doing some broke people shit, right? You ever stayed at a hostel? Probably not. No, I've never stayed at a hostel. So in case you don't know what a hostel is, which everyone listening to this knows what a hostel is, it's I shared a room with three other people at bunk beds, right? Right. So Massachusetts just said, hey, listen, we're going to allow marijuana.

But it's still kind of like a taboo thing, right? They don't want it getting too widespread. So when I came here to the hostel, I walked in and there's a giant bag of marijuana on the table. And I was like, I'm sorry, is someone selling this? Is this like, no, it's for you, man. We welcome all our guests like this. You could have as much as you want. I was like, where am I right now dude it's crazy it's crazy shit man be real's smoke box the other day yeah i think i'm just starting to be non not high really from that from the other day is it out i don't know if he's released yet anyway they gave me a bag of weed that every time i open up the trunk of my tesla it's like whoa so what so over a skunk i'm not very familiar with

with smoking marijuana. I think I've done it like once. You work for the government? I don't know. So I did it like once. And it's like, I try to be cool. Like, yeah, you smoke, right? I'm like, yeah, yeah.

Who doesn't, right, man? So they offered me this big bag of weed and I was like terrified. You should be. Because the thing is, like, if I try it, I want to be where I'm somewhere well i mean safe i'm not gonna do coke i mean it's only marijuana it's not like you know but you don't want to freak out right that could happen and you you should only take a little like if you're gonna if you're gonna this is what you do you go like this like this like just a little yeah just a touch you know there's a smoke box first of all be real smoke me in a coma i quit maybe five minutes into the smoke box i was all Be real Smoke me in a coma I quit Maybe five minutes

Into the smoke box And I was like What in the fuck am I doing We got high before We got into the smoke box too Yeah This is like There's like levels of stoners

So smoke box Were you in a car Or was it like A dedicated system Yeah that's his car That's the car It's an old Cadillac Look how barbecued I am

I can't even keep my eyes open Wait that's you Yeah I'm like I can't believe You're still smoking That doesn't even look like you Exactly I'm so high I'm in another dimension Holy still smoking. That doesn't even look like you. Exactly. I'm so high.

I'm in another dimension. Holy shit. It looks like your freaking great-grandfather or something. Oh, look at me. That's weird lighting. That's crazy. What B-Real does is he gets you in that car, and then everybody has a fat tube, like a big giant joint of the most ridiculous weed on the planet Earth.

There's none stronger. So I don't understand. What's the point of having a joint? Just go in the car and get high that way. Everybody's so hot. You can't breathe. There's no air in there. When I got out of there, my inside of my mouth was cooked.

If he's never smoked weed, he doesn't understand the hot box concept. I don't understand. This is all new to me. All that smoke, you're breathing in, right? So you're smoking it, so you're getting high from that and then you breathe in and other people smoke you're getting extra high that's what i'm saying there's no air so why don't just go in there and just be like hey you know what i'm just gonna sit in here for five minutes and get high yeah you'd get high from that i probably wouldn't get really high from that i probably would feel it yeah you smoke

every day no no okay every other day no sundays No. But I've been taking this stuff every day. What is that? Is that DMT? This is CBD with THC. It's 10 milligrams of THC and 10 milligrams of CBD. So it's not a lot of THC, but it's enough. So you just put those pills in like your coffee or something? No, I just swallow it. It's like a little gel cap. Well, isn't that like not fun because you're not smoking it? Oh, look at that.

It's like a fish oil pill. Yeah, exactly. But it's CBD oil with THC. It's a hemp oil. So you just pop it in. Yeah. not smoking it. It's like a fish oil pill. Yeah, exactly. But it's CBD oil with THC. It's a hemp oil. So you just pop it in. Yeah, just swallow it. No, I take that back. I did have marijuana chocolate.

When was that? Yeah, this was like last year. How'd it go? Nothing. It was like nothing. I probably didn't take enough. My friend's like, you didn't take enough.

So I had it. That's the worst. An hour later, this is dumb. I just sat there, got a little high and i was just like yeah it wore off i went to sleep and it was fine i didn't take it off uh yeah you definitely didn't take it off yeah i was worried the other way yeah i take too much

this is dumb and have like five more pieces of chocolate exactly that's what people do the worst thing that anybody could ever say when they eat pot is man i don't feel shit it's dumb and then they take another one yeah and then it kicks. And then it gets in your DNA. You're like, oh, no. Yeah. And then your kids are high. And then you're on a ride. You're on a ride for like hours.

Really? Oh, my God. I have a friend who ate too many edibles, and he was high for 27 or 28 hours. Wow. A full day later, he was still high, and it took like four hours after that. What is this guy doing? What is this guy doing? Is that a leaf blower?

What is that doing? He's making a giant hot box out of this tent. Oh, whoa. Jesus Christ. That's kind of crazy. That's kind of crazy. I don't know what it gets and why you would want to do that. See, some stoners like that girl right there, they just get too high.

Yeah. Like me when I was in the hot box. So what's too high? It's not good for you. What can you not do? Everything. You can't do anything. You're not even good at talking.

So is it like getting drunk? No. No, no, no. You get paranoid. You get freaked out. You think about people you fingered in high school. Oh. You start.

You fucking comb over everything you've ever done ever that might be even remotely questionable. So why would you want to get high then? Well, I think there's a lot of. First of all, that's too high. Yeah. That's like paranoia. Yeah. But I think it gives you like a self-examination that I think is probably critical for people to just examine.

Maybe you would be thinking about your life. Yeah, puts you in a zone. If you got high and you started thinking about this job you're quitting, like, why the fuck would I stay with this job? My God, I could be here forever. You can start getting paranoid and think about what it's going to be like if I'm 60 years old, I'm still here, wish i took a chance but now it's too late and i'm tired or better have the energy to do it anymore or i left and now i'm on skid row fuck yeah i do i don't think like that yeah so you think you think very positively yeah i think uh if negative shit happens like you should be aware that it can but to dwell on it i think is not empowering at all. I think what's empowering is like if you were a person who was 90 years old and you lived a boring ass stupid life working at a shitty job, but then someone gave you a chance and said, Rich, how would you like to be, you say you're 36?

Yeah. How would you like to be 36 again? Ooh. With vitality and youth and energy and ambition. And you've already got something going on. You already got a YouTube channel with like 450,000 subscribers. Yeah, yeah. What would you think, what would you be willing to do to try again? Anything.

You say anything. I want to be, I want to live a fulfilled life, a life that I enjoy. Well, that's you right now. So that's how I look at things. Damn. I look at things like, what would I like to be? So that's how I look at things. Damn.

I look at things like, what would I like to be if I was someone who was broken down and beaten by life and exhausted and I never took any chances? Right. What would I do now? I would say, if I could be that guy that is willing to just try to just take risks and carve a path for yourself, I would want to be that guy. I would want to live a fulfilled life. Be your future self Fucking anybody could do that man

Anybody could do that That's not Cost prohibitive It's dangerous There's risks But that's why it's good Right If you knew you could

Like if you ever play a video game In god mode And just run around Shooting everything Pretty much You can't die It's boring That's dumb

It's boring What's exciting is you could die Right Dying is exciting Just like real life Yeah What's exciting is risk You don't want to Dying is exciting. Just like real life. Yeah. What's exciting is risk.

You don't want to be that guy who's just barely alive, but alive. Right. Fuck that. He's just getting by. He's existing. Yeah. He only exists. You gotta live, man.

So we worked it out. You're going to do stand-up? Right. I'm going to go hand gliding. All I want to do right now is just smoke marijuana and then go hand gliding. Hand gliding is how one of the greatest jujitsu artists of all time, Holes Gracie, that's how he died. Really? Yeah, man.

He's one of the greatest of all time. But I'm not uplifted anymore, Joe. You told me about this uplifting thing and dying. What the hell is going on? What is going on here? There's no reward. If you land, oh great, you're still alive. There's no reward. Well, you got to almost die flying around.

But now I'm confused. Dude, slam into a cliff, bro. But wait a minute. But you just said that it's an exciting thing. You could almost die. If you quit your job and then you take a path that you may or may not succeed on, if you do succeed, you're going to feel invigorated. You took a chance and you won. What do you got here?

It's like an adrenaline rush in a way. Saw this, right? Oh, no. Oh, what happened? Oh, shot. Is this a mishap? Oh, no left okay just watch for a second and see what you think is wrong here in the first 10 seconds okay can't believe i can't show this to everybody online people know what's up oh my god he's not attached i don't know i'll just wait who's in

charge here the guy that in the blue he's the he's the like leader guy oh and good luck here oh crap they are flying and he is holding on tight by her neck they are very high uh and they're going higher oh my god just to be clear uh this is a very this last four minutes this is like this last four minutes yeah look at this turn around do you have any idea how hard it is to hold on for four minutes? Yeah. Even two minutes is hard. How did this guy do this? How did he manage to hang on?

Look, I don't know. The person in blue is holding on. He's got one hand on here. I would do a pull-up, and I say this now. I do a pull-up and get my arm over it. He might not be able to. The drag of the wind. How does he hang on?

Oh my god. Make it down to the bottom. It is amazing. His grip strength is incredible. Dude, his forearm is supposed to be huge, man. His grip strength is incredible. What a chicken. He couldn't wait until he got to the actual ground and started running. I'm just kidding. Well, I don't even think the guy even really landed.

This is a very high definition video. What's taking off? Fuck. What's a GoPro? Powerful GoPro. Wow. Proper way to land. Dick first. Fuck that, sport. Fuck that.

What if you hit a rock? The lock srams. What do I do? Oh, back up? Surgery to fix his wrist. Upon impact, my right wrist suffered a fragmented distal radius fracture, which required surgery. Damn, son. He got lucky.

Yeah, but that's the thing. So he took a risk But like there's a reward There was like that Adrenaline rush That's an asshole People go hand gliding And stuff like Hand gliding

Parasailing All the water sports Yeah you get a little bit Of an adrenaline rush You know I mean if you want to live For that little drug The little adrenaline drug

Go ahead What if you went hunting right And Oh he also tore his bicep Tending from holding on As long as he did wow damn damn stay alive yeah face something tomorrow wow geez um so what if you went hunting right and you didn't kill anything was it still fun happens all the time yeah sure so it's not it's

the thought that you might catch something well it's not even that you don't say catch oh sorry you just kill something destroy something oh no and something's and something's life you run and water it down they call it harvest they're harvesting harvesting it out they actually do bro it's not a pumpkin yeah it's a fucking deer you killed it yeah yeah i mean it's difficult to do but if you do that's one of the reasons why when you do do it it feels like you accomplish something right yeah so that's the positive aspect of it the positive aspect of it is that there's a reward if you can do it, it feels like you accomplished something. Right. Yeah. So that's the positive aspect of it. The positive aspect of it is that there's a reward

if you can pull it off. Not just that you like survive. Like, I want to go running with the bulls. Fuck you. Yeah, I lived. Awesome. Yeah, I guess that's a good point to think about it.

Or roller coasters. I like roller coasters, but I have kids. Okay. I like roller coasters for my kids. It was just for me. I wouldn't go to a fucking Disneyland. But you like them because of your-

My kids like it. So I guess a lot of people- They love it. That's why people like that. They like roller coasters because it's an adrenaline rush. Yeah. It gives you a little adrenaline rush. Yeah.

I feel uncomfortable because I feel like if I died, this would be so stupid. I didn't need to do this. Right. But I did this for a cheap thrill and it broke and I went flying off into the fucking street. Good point. Good point. Yeah. You know, those weird carnivals that pull up in your neighborhood. Oh, God point. Good point, yeah. You know, she kind of likes, you know those weird carnivals that like pull up in your

neighborhood? Oh, God. The townie hokey looking ones? You pull up in like six trucks and it like unfolds as like a checkers board. Dude, one of them came to my neighborhood and they had this fucking thing where you spin around really fast. No way. You stick to the wall.

Not for a pop-up carnival. I took pictures of the way it was set up. I think it's on Instagram. You probably won't be able to find it. I took pictures, this was like years ago, of the way it was set up. I think it's on Instagram. You probably won't be able to find it. I took pictures, this was like years ago, of the way this thing was on five or six different 2x4s. It was on blocks and shit. It was so wonky.

And people were climbing in there. Oh, boy, this is great. I feel like your chances of dying at those things are like 90% higher. There's the picture. Whoa. How dare you find that so quickly? How'd you find that? I'm a Google master.

That's pretty damn good. You're a Google master. But look at that thing. Look how stupid that is. So you can see the stacks of wood. That is so goddamn dumb. That's hokey as hell, man. That's hokey as hell.

They had to do that to balance it out because they put that fucking thing on a hill. So what were you doing there? Your kids were on that? No, I didn't let them get on that thing. For shame. I didn't let them get on that thing. But shame. I didn't let them get on that thing. But you squirt the fucking gun that the clown face in the balloon pops and you win a stupid prize. What would you nail at one of those carnivals?

What do you kill every time? I'm not good at anything. Yeah, neither am I. None of those things. Yeah. It's set to be against you. It sucks. So I want to bring it back to aliens.

Yeah, yeah. God, yeah, please. We've got to wrap this up. It's already three o'clock. Please, please. We've been doing this for three hours. Are you shitting me? Yeah.

What? Yeah. What? Yeah, for real. Damn. All right. If the aliens came to you and said, Rich, we're going to give you this technology and information. Whatever it is, it's probably going to be yes, but go on. But you can't tell anyone else.

Yeah. Would you be willing to? What technology? What if the government brings you to Area 51 like Bob Lazar and they bring you down to the base and they show you an alien spacecraft and they go, we're going to let you examine this. We know that you love to tinker and back engineer things, but you can't tell anybody. Are you in? I do it in a heartbeat.

Why the hell not? Because you owe us the rest of the human race. Like these fucking assholes in the government, they're going to keep you from telling us the truth? Yeah. Don't you think it would affect the whole world if we knew the truth? Honestly, I'd probably tell anyone anyways because the fact that they called the tesla guy to go down there of course he's gonna wrap them out well that's who i would call if i was the government i wouldn't call some

respectable scientists from stanford because that guy i would call some dude who would be like easily discredited some guy who may be like maybe you know it's a little little fudgy with his science reports suspicious yeah maybe plagiarized a little bitudgy with his science reports. Suspicious. Yeah. Maybe he plagiarized a little bit in college, but he knows his shit. That's me, yeah. But no, I would go with some guy who's, what is that? Autodactic? Is that the word?

Someone learns themselves? Is that what the word is? Whatever. There's a lot, right? Is that the word? Yeah. There's a lot of geniuses out there. Yeah.

They just don't have the credentials. Very smart people. And autodidact, yeah. Yeah, autodidact. word is there's a lot right is that the word there's a lot of geniuses out there yeah they just don't have the credentials very smart people and autodidact yeah yeah take that guy take that guy would you do that no i'd tell everybody why 100 why would you why do you wouldn't trust those assholes you don't owe anyone anything because i would i would want everyone to know what are they gonna do with it i wouldn't be able to live with myself really 100 yeah if the government wants to tell me some secrets, let me tell you something. I'll tell everybody. Yeah.

Would you say that first? I would definitely tell them I'm telling everybody. Really? I would say don't show it to me. Really? Yeah, I would say don't show it to me. But that's not progressing the human race forward because the goal is for you to see it and confirm it, right?

You want to see it, confirm it, and tell everyone. What are you going to say? I don't want to die, and I don't want them to kill me so i would say listen you need to kill me kill you for that maybe people have died already and we don't know damn it's deep maybe bro yeah look into it i don't know it would be a thing where i would in all honesty depends on what stage of my life if i was 30 years old and they said, I'm going to show you this,

but you can't show anybody, are you willing? I'd be like, yeah, sure, show me. But at 50, I'd be like, no. No.

I'm not making any deals. I don't want to make a deal where you tell me that I can't tell anybody about something. I mean, it's one thing if it's a business thing. Like, hey,

Apple's going to show you the new iPhone, don't tell anybody. Oh, for new iPhone. Don't tell anybody. Oh, for sure, I won't tell anybody. Fine. But a government... This is something that can affect the human race.

How would the confirmation of aliens affect the human race, you think? Like, yes, there are aliens. Now what? What are they going to do? Realistically, you would have to have confirmation that was undeniable. And your own eyewitness testimony

is not good enough. They'll just think you're crazy. They'll shoot you not good enough. They'll just think you're crazy. They'll shoot you anyways. Exactly. They'll just think you're a fool, and they'll just make you look like a dunce, and it would actually probably help their cause because no one would ever believe you,

and no one would take aliens seriously after that, which is one of the arguments for what they actually did with Project Blue Book. There was a guy named Philip Corso, and J. Allen Hynek was the guy who was running project blue book and one of the things that they famously said after it was over that they were they would just try to debunk things and and make these things look foolish yeah and then anything they found that they couldn't explain they just tucked away but the things that they could explain even if the the explanation didn't jive, they came up with an explanation just to make people realize that aliens were bullshit.

But he, through the course of Project Blue Book studying, now you have to ask this question. Through the end of it, he decided that aliens were real and that we had been contacted. However, you always have to question whether someone everything is doing that because this is a new avenue for them to make money yeah is this a new stream of revenue i'm gonna do the lecture circuit i'm gonna write books i mean if you're a guy work for project blue book and then they shut project blue book down you don't have any more money yeah you're broke and you decide well i don't want to work for the government anymore you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna write stories about ufos sort of podcast fuck these assholes right i mean jay allen hynek died

a long time ago i believe right google jay allen hynek project blue book ufos all right i'm pretty sure there's interviews where afterwards he said he is sure after all of his time studying that there is and has been some contact with extraterrestrial entities. So what do you think? I don't know. See, me personally, I have zero experience. Who doesn't have experience? Someone might.

What are you laughing at? I don't want to talk about it yet. You don't want to talk about it yet? I don't want to talk about it yet. It's stuff I've been looking into about this topic. This guy worked at that company I told you about. In Columbus, Ohio? Yeah He also was a teacher of physics

And astronomy at Ohio State In 1936 Dun, dun, dun So you think there's some real shit Going down? Maybe You think some real shit's going down I don't know about

All the alien technologies Or actually Like what Beings or aliens or something There's something going on And it has to do with that company And it has to do with Everything you're talking about In Project Blue Book I don't know what it is though that's very

vague i know super i don't want to make yeah something's going on guys i can't because it's it to me it doesn't seem fair to just go with the big conspiracy but there are facts that you can look up and find so once you get to the bottom of the investigation you'll have a report for us i'm not ready to because it sounds a little too crazy right now i want to leave some of the investigation you'll have a report for us i'm not ready to it sounds a little too crazy right now i want to leave some of the crazy stuff out yeah it's one of those subjects that inherently starts looking crazy until aliens show up if there was like that what was that movie what was the the recent movie with the the way they spoke in like smoke oh oh god um was that big arrival arrival if something like that shows up

then all of a sudden our perceptions completely change it's like oh wait undeniable there's like some giant los angeles size thing floating over the continental us yeah we'd be like okay all right so that's the thing so why would you so if we let's just say we had a microscope right periscope whatever whatever you call it to look into space really far. Telescope. Telescope, yeah. Periscope. If I was a submarine.

We all live. So – and we see an alien colony. Yes. Unlike Mars. What would we do? We'd study it. Yeah. We'd try to communicate with it.

But would that be a good move? Like what if they came over to us and they'll go, oh, look at these fucking dumb chimps. Look at these fucking dumb chimps. Do they, you think that any foreign or alien species would think we're idiots? A hundred percent of them would think we're idiots. Yeah, if they're advanced to the point where they've gotten control

of their emotions and anger. Right. I mean, just think about how much tribal warfare goes on still in America, in the world. You know, how much warfare is taking place how many people are dying how many innocent people are dying with drones all that kind of stuff they'd be aware of all that they'd be aware of our polluting of the environment they'd be aware of

our depleting the ocean of its fish that's just pulling in giant nets filled with fish what the fuck are you people doing they'd be looking at coal plants and the president of the United States, the greatest superpower the world has ever known, saying things like clean coal. Like, clean coal. What do you think? So what do you think? Okay, so someone comes to visit us, right? What's the dumbest thing that they're going to notice the first? You can say, oh, wow, this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

What's the number one thing? You visit our planet, the number one dumbest thing they're going to see and be like. They're probably going to think the pollution is the number one dumbest like you are yours are shitting in the environment that you need to sustain you right you're you're and you're doing this in it's not like you don't have the resources to fix that infinite money yeah we have incredible amounts of money but yet the money's not going towards that yeah massive resources should be going to removing carbon from the atmosphere removing particulates from the atmosphere yeah like brake dust and all the shit that's in these cities and when you're these cars are constantly slamming on their brakes that dust you have to clean off

your wheels that shit's everywhere right it's in your lungs baby it's fucking everywhere yeah and takes years off people's lives it absolutely does they would look at all that they would go go why aren't they looking at that? Like, why aren't they, why don't they have some sort of system in place to mitigate all the problems they've created in terms of like, oh, they got rid of plastic straws. Right, yeah. Keep the caps, though. Keep the bottles.

The caps are fine. Keep the tabs that you pull off of things. Keep plastic wrap. Everything's plastic. What do you think of those new disintegrating straws, by the way? Ridiculous. It's like, oh, God. I want to keep around a stainless steel one. You should, but you have to clean it, though. I was thinking about that same thing.

You could stab somebody if somebody attacks you. Sharp in the end. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I stab your throat? Just punch a hole through them like that walking dead crossbow bolt. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's the big one that we would that they would get they would go wow these people are crazy the other thing they would say is the nuclear power thing like when you

find out things like the fukushima plant they didn't have a any sort of backup plan to shut it down yeah like you don't know what what happens if your generator goes out oh well we're fucked well no nothing really nuclear meltdown and everything dies forever yeah yeah they didn't plan on that like that the fact that we they built these plants and they have no idea how to shut them off

like that's crazy yeah the aliens are probably like these people are out of their fucking mind they're smart enough to figure out how to harness nuclear power but what they use it for

is to generate steam yeah constant and it has to stay on forever that's why they put them near the oceans like these guys are assholes doesn't make any sense.

Yeah. Now, the other thing, too, is that how would you, let's just say things are going to shit really quickly. Right. Right? There's a nuclear power plant that's going to blow up any second now. Any second. How would you, are you like, I know you're an outdoorsy guy. You hunt.

You kill. Harvest, as they say. Harvest. Sorry. How long do you think you could survive if things went to shit really quickly if you have to survive you have all the money you want right but like how long do you think you could survive in the wilderness it would be very hard it's not easy and not only that you got to get through the winter so you're gonna have to build some

sort of a shelter but you're gonna have to maintain to maintain fire. There's no winter here, though, is there? I mean, not in LA, but in Big Bear, which is only a couple hours north of here. Yeah. I mean, there's plenty of places where you could drive in a couple hours. You could go to Big Bear, and then you can go down to the beach. You could experience the desert. Yeah. You could experience a lot of different climates. It would really depend upon where you were stuck and what you would eat.

So the thing is, if you want to stay in the LA area, you're dead because you're not going to be able to eat shit. There's nothing here. Would you stay in your house? Would you migrate? You have kids and a wife. Yeah, you got to get out of here. So you'd leave.

You'd drive your Tesla. Right. Which car would you take? No way. What? No way. It was a big debate that I had in a crisis situation, right? Uh-huh.

Would you take the Tesla? No. What would you take? I have a Toyota Land Cruiser with a 40-gall yeah i got a apocalypse mobile but so now i went through a big debate i got i got shit on so much for this i said the same exact thing i said listen in an oh shit situation i would leave the tesla behind who argued with you about that a lot of people uh i leave that behind i take my pickup truck yeah like tacoma that's what i filled with gas 100 well you know in an emergency crisis situation uh you don't have access to the

gas what if the gasoline didn't work you go to the liquor store you fill it up with alcohol run remember we had the hurricane in florida a while back now everyone was saying like yeah the gas pumps wouldn't work because the electricity was shut off and uh but the superchargers still work and you could get to your destination still. And like, Tesla's use less energy. It's like at the end of the day, I'd happen to pick up a truck with like two shotguns and like five things of gasoline and be fine. I don't understand that. Yeah, they also make tanks that you can put in your gas tank, in the bed of your truck, rather. They're like these survival tanks.

You can drive as far as you want, 800 miles. Yeah, and more. And you drive thousands of miles. There's a guy who actually, there was a podcast that I was listening to, this guy who is like an extreme prepper, and he actually made a trip with one tank of gas from Arizona to Canada. Damn. He drove all the way up to Canada, All the way across with one tank of gas.

Because this massive tank in the back of his pickup truck that feeds directly into his primary gas tank. Yeah. Yeah. And you can get these. They're like these survival tanks. And they'll host like hundreds of gallons of fuel. But you're also a target. Oh, yeah.

I'd probably shoot at that guy's car. That's the other thing, too. Why would you do that? I don't know. All of a sudden sudden you're lawless See what happens? You become a barbarian I know

The lights go off for five minutes I want to kill everyone You're starting fires Shooting cars Yeah So then alright So you leave You take your family right

You have your kids You have your wife Where are you going to go? You hop in your Land Cruiser Where are you going to go? You have a real problem And what are you going to bring? Well you would have to bring

Things to start a fire And things to kill animals Right Those are the things That bring? Well, you would have to bring things to start a fire and things to kill animals. Right. Those are the things that would be very important. Okay. I would bring guns. Right. I'd bring bows.

I'd bring ammunition and arrows. But I would realistically realize that, first of all, I'm not going to make more bullets and I'm not going to make more arrows. Right. What am I going to do and how long am I going to last? Would you bring marijuana? No. Okay.

No. No. I'd be just trying to stay alive. Yeah. But you'd also be trying to stay alive for a long period of time. Right. You might want to bring it. No. Use the pain.

No, really? What? No. It's not going to... I mean, marijuana for pain relief, I mean, I guess it works. Yeah. But that's not what I use it for. The pain at night of the impending doom.

Yeah, you'd be freaking out even more. I'm freaking out plenty Yeah Maybe I I mean I just There's no There's not room

I would bring water Water purification tablets No food though I'd bring filters You can't food I would bring food I'd probably bring food In the form of

Heavy duty bars Like that Don't take up a lot of space But are dense And nutrient rich Like there's Those green belly bars Protein bars Yeah something that has A lot of calories High but dense and nutrient-rich, like those green belly bars. Protein bars.

Yeah, something that has a lot of calories, high calories, in a small package, a small size. Right. Where are you heading? Yeah, exactly. Going to the woods? Yeah, you got to go somewhere where there's animals. And even then, you're not going to make it, and your kids are probably not going to make it. That's the real thing is true.

The idea that you're going to live off of animals, this isn't the Serengeti, man. There's not a lot of animals unless you're somewhere where you can find a lot of fucking animals right like rabbits and shit and you got to keep them like you're gonna have to kill them every other day because they're not gonna last with the heat and your kids aren't gonna eat a dead rabbit for sure not at first at least really yeah they'll eat a rabbit yeah my my kids will eat pretty much anything do you know how to start a fire? Yes Really? Yeah, but it's not easy

No, it's not If you have a string and a bow And two pieces of dried wood And, you know, hardwood and a softer wood You can do it You can do it But it ain't easy Like starting a bow with one of those

Yeah, no Starting a fire with one of those things It'll take you two months It takes a little while Really? But it's not easy You're better off with a flint. If you have a flint and a piece of metal, you can start a fire pretty easy.

Get a spark, yeah. And also, you want to bring with you some tinder. If you have some dry tinder, you should bring that with you, too. Look, you're in for a world of hate. Yeah, now that. A world of shit. If you want to really survive. Right.

Whenever I watch those survival shows. Which I love, by the way. I'm really into that shit. They're exciting, right? Yeah, I'm into that shit. What would I do? Yeah. What was this guy doing?

YouTube kind of fed this to me the other day. 300 days alone. He made a self-documentary of him spending 300 days on an island by himself. Jesus. He got dropped off with a satellite phone because he ends up getting hurt at some point during it. Was he cutting his own hand off? No, it's a fish.

Okay. It looks like a fish. I'm not showing it on here because there's lots of views. You can look it up. 300 Days Alone. He does it. At the very end of it, his friend meets him, and he shows him what he's been doing for the last two weeks all alone.

There's a volcano on this island. Yeah. He looked like he freaked out. He's basically cast away at the end of this fucking documentary. Oh, yeah. I'm sure. It's pretty cool. Look, that's a fucking hard thing to do just for your mind.

I couldn't do that. He's weaving together ropes and shit. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck you. If they put you on an island, how long do you think you'd last? I'd probably last- I'd make it.

Maybe 45 minutes. Depends on if I knew that my family was still alive. Yeah. I will make it. Really? Yeah, I'll figure out a way to make it. He found a little pig. Oh, my God.

For a little while. Oh, I thought it was dead. He's going to kill it? He's going to kill that thing? He kept it as a pet and it ended up running away. How did he feed it? He feeds it. He shows you what he it? He's going to kill that thing? He kept it as a pet, and it ended up running away. How did he feed it? He feeds it. He shows you what he does.

It's pretty interesting. How do you even find a pig like that? Well, it means he's on a very animal-rich environment. If he's on an island with pigs. Trapped it. He had to be made a trap to get something in it. So did he kill any pigs? I honestly didn't watch the entire thing.

No, it's the same one. I rewound it. I didn't watch the whole thing because it's an hour long. He's drinking the pig's piss right there. Look at his desk. It was just really cool when you started talking about that. I just saw it. Wait, he's got a dog?

What the hell is going on here? He brought his dog. He's probably in L.A. He's in L.A. He's lying. That guy's in Topanga Canyon. That guy's in Calabasas. He's right behind Kanye's house.

Seriously, he's behind Kanye's house. Oh, is this how he caught fish He's got a fishing rod Yeah the island he is Is right here He had some guys drop him off Wow And he just said

Don't come back for 300 days If you don't find me So wait How does he charge the batteries For this footage You have cell phone Chargers that use Solar power

A lot of guys use those Really Yeah my friend Adam Greentree Yeah He lives in Australia And every year He comes to America And he's a bow hunter

And he'd do like a One month trek solo Yeah In the mountains Hunting for elk And he uses these solar panels That he lays out And they charge battery packs

Yeah And that's how he charges his phone And so he He got Very famous on Instagram For documenting all this In his Instagram stories Yeah

Like he got in an altercation With a grizzly bear, and he was documenting it. Like, you could see in the Instagram story the bear standing up. Oh, shit. And he's looking at him and coming towards him, and he's got a pistol out. It turned out the pistol was jammed. Did he throw it at the bear, then? He didn't have to, but he had it pointed at the—he didn't even understand that the pistol, like, it wasn't his pistol, so he let him borrow it for personal safety in the forest.

And the bullet was the wrong size for the pistol. It could have blew up in his hand if he's not careful. Yeah, something. Who knows? Yeah. Not good. But he's fine now, right? He's okay.

Okay. Thank God. He's Australian, man. They're a different breed of people. Yeah, they have some shit down there. Yeah, they're children of criminals. That's what it is. The British people who back then when everybody was a criminal, like,

you guys are too crazy. Yeah. Get the fuck off our continent. Exactly. We're going to put you in paradise. Go to Australia. There you go. We're going to put them in paradise.

Yeah. But they have crazy animals down there too. They do. Giant spiders and shit. But the people are cool as fuck, man. It's like a weird thing. Like, somehow or another that worked. And you've been there, right?

A bunch of times. Yeah. I love Australia. What can we do down there? Well Well you should do stand up down there Maybe you should start your tour Oh yeah it's a good idea There you go It's expensive

The thing is I have no income really Right For now Yeah for now That's the tough thing is that Staying at that hostel Really like brought things Into perspective

Right It's like Snoring farting That's what I'm saying Yeah People just like standing in front of me Butt naked I'm like hey Hey Whatever Hey You know It's like. Snoring, farting. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. People just like standing in front of me butt naked. I'm like, hey.
