Joe Rogan podcast checking out The Joe Rogan Experience Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night All day So let's go What are you doing? Are you playing with magnets? Yeah man

I'm checking out all your toys Would you say this guy's name is Travis? That's Travis Walton And he's He's a guy that got abducted Allegedly by Some sort of a UFO in the 19th 1970s, and the story was so crazy that it became a movie.

It's called Fire in the Sky. And I don't know, like I said, I don't know if he's telling the truth, but it's very compelling. He doesn't seem like a liar, and he's been telling the exact same story for 40-plus years. I think he's telling the truth. You think so? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know anybody, I mean, personally, I don't know anybody who's kept up a lie for that long. There's got to be someone. You've got to be someone that's like, I think people can make a story.

up and then only keep that lie usually generally when people lie about stuff they'll lie about a bunch of stuff especially something that crazy they took me aboard a UFO and they fixed me so this is the story the story was these guys were all loggers in arizona and so they're driving down this logging road and they see some crazy light in the sky and it goes into this area they pull off the side of the road they walk towards it and there's this disc that's like hovering this glowing discs he walks towards it and he got really close to it and he got hit with a beam of light and he falls back like that's supposedly what it looked like that's the art the art depiction of it what these guys saw he gets hit with this beam of light and they take off they're like

fuck and they did jump back in the truck and take off he's lying on the ground and they get like five minutes away and they're yelling at each other we got to go back we got to go get him they were scared and say like fuck it let's go back so they go back to go get their friend and he's gone so five days later there's you know there's a manhunt for him nobody can find him five days later he shows up walks into town he's fully it doesn't look like he's starving to death he's not out of water doesn't look he's been living in the woods it just looks like he just like a normal day and he tells this crazy story he tells him a story that he got abducted, they took him aboard

this craft and fixed his body, because the beam of light that came out of the ship from whatever it was, whatever energy source it was, fucked his body up, they repaired it and they communicated with him telepathically while they were on the ship. I forget all the details of it, but

this is the film of it. This is supposedly what he said the experience was like. He said it was terrifying. And he described The thing that's crazy is that they all describe the same exact creatures. They describe these little people that get abducted. People that have had UFO experiences, anybody that's had direct contact.

Do you ever see that movie Close Encounters or the Third Kind? I saw that movie The Fourth Kind when I was in middle school. What's that one? Is that an induction one? Would they come get you? Yeah, it's like, man, I only watched it once. It scared the shit out of me. I think people go under like hypnosis.

and they remember what their abduction was like or something like that. Yeah. Yeah, don't quote me on that. Well, the third kind, I think, is contact. I think the close-in-count is the first kind is like you see it. I don't know what the second kind is.

There's like a list of the kinds. The fourth kind derived explanation J. Allen Hinex classification of close encounters with aliens. The fourth kind denotes alien abductions. Dun-ton-ton-dun. Yeah, that one. I like how we talk about aliens.

like it's like feeling on a girl like second base like you get to the fourth time get the fourth base she takes you home yeah but his his friends they they're like his friends that left him that left him yeah I mean they saw it yeah they all had the same story

that has to be real I don't think he's gonna convince these guys probably not but maybe you could it's like it's not impossible it's not like it's like breathing underwater that That's impossible, right? Okay. Flapping your wings at the top of a cliff, you fly away. That's impossible.

Keeping a lie is possible. It's not likely. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. One of the reasons why it doesn't make sense is Travis and one of the guys in the truck had gotten into a fist fight that same day. Like, they didn't like each other. They hate each other.

They're workers. They're just co-workers. You know, logging is hard fucking work, man. You're cutting trees and carrying trees. And it's backbreaking, brutal. labor and you get hard men loggers are bad motherfuckers man my friend Evan his whole family is from loggers um and they're just he's like they're the hardest fucking people you've ever met in your life just hard men like doing this shit deep into their 60s and 70s carrying logs just

just a different breed of human being so uh they fucking didn't get along and they got in a fist fight that day so why lie for him why would you lie for him Exactly. Why would you lie for him? Yeah. These are hardworking men, Joe Rogan. They don't need a lie. They're savages. Yeah.

Hey, did his friends get any money from that movie? What friends? His friends. His friends? Yeah. That's a good question. It's a good question, right? Because then it would be a reason to lie.

Yeah. But the movie was a long time after the actual event. What year was the movie, Jamie? 93. And this happened when? In the 70s? In the 70s? Yeah, there's no way.

Like, bro, any day now, you're getting paid. I got D.B. Cooper, Lod. Who is the guy that was the actor? D.B. Sweeney? D.B. Schweeney. That's right. D.B. Cooper is the guy that stole the money and jumped out the plane. D.B. Cooper? Yeah. You never heard that story?

Was he the guy wanted by the FBI? Yes. Like a top 10 wanted or something like that? Yeah. Yeah. He stole a bunch of money and then hijacked an airplane and then jumped out of the airplane with the money. And he died? Like they found the body? Probably. Or was it like a mysterious?

It's a mysterious. Yeah? Yeah. Oh, shit. You never heard that story? Nah. It's an interesting story, but the area the guy skydived into was heavily wooded, and the problem what that is, if you're a skydiver and you're in a parachute and you're going

into a heavily wooded place, you're going to land in the trees. Yeah, and then you risk, like, getting... What, just cutting yourself loose, also, cutting yourself loose out of the trees, what if you're 30 feet up? How are you getting down? Yeah. What if you fall, getting down? People go missing in the woods all the time, and no one finds them, ever.

You don't find nothing. What? Yeah. Why don't we hear about this more often? Well, you do if you pay attention, but... I don't pay attention. It's a, you know, there's only so many things you can think about. There's a recent update on the Cooper story, but this is just the brief for those who never have heard of it.

Okay, D.B. Cooper is the moniker given to the Skyjacker, a dapper, dark-haired man, apparently in his mid-40s who called himself Dan Cooper. The mystery man passed a flight attendant a note while on a Northwest Orient Airlines flight in Portland, Oregon, bound for Seattle, November 24, 1971. The note claimed, rather, that he had a bomb in his briefcase, which he opened to show a large tangle of wires and red sticks. When the Boeing aircraft landed in Seattle, the man who became known as D.B. Cooper freed 36 pastures in exchange for a mountain of cash and four parachutes. The plane took off with several crew members aboard Bound for Mexico City on his orders Wow, so he just made them fly him somewhere with a briefcase with a bomb in it

And they were listening to him So at an altitude of 10,000 feet above Seattle and Reno He jumped from the back of the jetliner With a parachute and the ransom money vanishing into history The case remains unsolved Despite the manhunt, a manhunt the FBI Tenaciously interviewing hundreds of people

In a cottage industry of true crime bruffs buffs pouring through the Evans nah I do got away there's no there's no way that like he thought all of this out and then was like ah once I get in the air I'll just wing it like the man knew he was going to jump

over those woods he knew that the minute he landed in Mexico they'd have some sort of like dog day afternoon right but he wasn't in Mexico he jumped outside of Portland right yeah it was in the Pacific Northwest that he jumped right yeah like they just took off and like 20 minutes in he's like all right

I'm out. Yeah. That's the biggest curveball to throw them because they're going to, their plan is to go to Mexico. Go to Mexico. Right. Right. He thinks he's going to land safely and then they're going to figure out a way to.

Yeah, but the thing is, have you ever been in the Pacific Northwest? You ever been in the woods up there? Not in the woods, but I've been, I've seen them from the highway. Tall-ass trees. Okay, yeah, tall-ass trees. And real dense, like this, like a box of cut-tips. That's how I always described the trees up there. Like, they're really close to each other.

There's not a lot of open. space up there at all. It's all just trees. So if you're landing into that mess, you're not going to find a spot to land. And then here's the other problem. If you do find a spot to land, where are you? Do you know where you are? Do you know how to get out of there? I think that dude. You could walk for days in any direction and not find shit. I think he planned that part. I don't think he did. I bet he was on meth. For real. Probably. That sounds more like it. I bet he was, that's a meth move. The whole thing's a method. I'm going to get a fucking bomb. I'm going to get on the plane. I'm going to tell

them I got a fucking bomb. I want some money and I want some fucking parachutes and I'm going to get the money and I'm just going to parachute to safety. It sounds like a terrible idea. You think so? I mean, I think for a second there it can, like if the guy was sober, I think he's a sober genius. I think he's a sober genius.

You think he's just a method. Yeah, I think he's a method. I think he studied the woods for like months. No way. Because how are you going to know, you're going, 10,000 feet above the earth, you're going 500 miles an hour, and you're going to jump. So I want you to imagine that. So here is this, you're going 500 miles an hour, and then you jump, where are you going to land?

You're going 500 miles an hour, you have to fall 10,000 feet. Where the fuck are you going to land? You have no idea where you're going to land. You should make tests. Like, you should be in charge of creating the SATs. It's like question number eight. Where the fuck are you going to land? Well, here's the thing.

back then there was no GPS okay so back then all you had is a compass so even if you have a map like how big is your map like back then though no they weren't trust me I used to live back then I feel like people had to like I feel like

the further back you go in time maybe not too far back right but I feel like 70s 60s 50s 40s like people were forced to like learn maps, learn their directions, learn how to utilize a compass, like, people were better on their feet, you know what I mean? That's true. They definitely knew more phone numbers. They definitely knew

how to get around more without any sort of GPS. I'm addicted to GPS. That shit runs my life. If I want to go somewhere, I always put it in my phone. Yeah, it gives you like traffic updates. That too. Yeah, that's huge. Oh, detour. Fuck you people. Yeah. And you feel happy. Look, I got to run that traffic. Back in the day, you just had to like memorize routes. memorize which routes were busy at which times And you had to listen to AM radio For the traffic update

The traffic update Brought to you by Costco Hey who's that one guy that comes on I don't know if he still does He like What's the story with him He got like really rich And he gives people financial advice

Is it Ramsey? Dave Ramsey Dave Ramsey Yeah Do you know him? No Oh I thought you knew him

Back to D.V. Cooper I think that dude was on meth I think that's a total meth head plan I got a fucking bomb He's got a bunch of red sticks with wires I'm like blow it up bitch You don't know how to what is that What's in that bag

I think I think I think he's a pure meth head That's what I think A crazy wild dude They say Hitler was on meth too Yes Yeah most likely He was definitely on oxycodone

And the actual Nazis were definitely on meth for sure they gave nazi's myth oh yeah man there's a great book is it out there it's in the other room it's in the other room it's called blitzed um by um how do you pronounce his name or Norman Oller right Oler Norman Oller uh great guest too he was amazing um but he wrote this book about all the meth they took during World War II it's all about like the most meth Wait, wait, so he was a Nazi that wrote a book? No. Oh, he's a researcher.

How dare you? I want to read a book by a Nazi. Well, you'd have to read like Mindomph and you have to read it with like a book cover on so people don't think you're a psycho. Well, I mean, we got to know what they were thinking, you know what I mean? People should read it. That's the book. That book is great.

Blitzed. So they were all on meth. That's Hitler just all fucked up off meth. Well, Hitler was definitely on oxycodone. He was on a bunch of other shit and he had a doctor. It's a really good book. You should read it. It's very interesting.

Because it lets you, it gives you a totally different insight into why they were behaving the way they behaved. Like the kamikazes, for instance. You know, they flew their planes right into the ships. They were on meth. What? Yeah, that's why they did it. But like, what kind of meth? Crystal meth.

But like, okay, but like how were they taking it in? Were they just like smoking the pipe and then hopping in the plane? It's good question. You can eat it. First of all, there was pills. And there were actually prescription pills that the government would give out in Germany. What's it called? Previtant?

Pervitin. Pervetin. So this pervitin stuff was essentially an over-the-crow methamphetamine that you could buy. That's how many people were on meth. Although I feel like a lot of the most popular drugs at one point or another are like over-the-counter medication. Or like prescribed, right? Oh, yeah, for sure. Like cop syrup. Like everybody's doing promethazine.

I mean, they still are, whatever, right? But then they had to like ban it. Yep. Yeah. syrup for every war and abused drug. What is this, Jamie? It starts off with, I didn't know, ISIS uses a ADHD drug.

ISIS is on Adderall? Captagon. Captagon sounds like a fake drug. That sounds like a drug in a movie. The kids want Captagon. It sounds like it was made by like the guy who made Adamantium metal. Right, right, right. So it was an early ADHD, a failed

ADHD drug. It was banned almost globally in the 1980s, but a few Middle Eastern nations are still producing it. What does it do? A stimulant gives some sort of euphoria and a sense of purpose. Let's bring that shit back, Pfizer.

Euphoria and sense of purpose? Stop trying to give me some fucking vaccines that I don't need. And how about hooking me up with a little euphoria and a little sense of purpose? Little yellow tablets seem to be fueling much of the mayhem in Syria

but illicit drug uses on the battlefield isn't new. And that's pervitin. Yeah, so the methamphetamine pervitin was distributed to soldiers in preparation for the war. And what's interesting about that is they had different doses for different people. Like the dudes in the tank at the very front, they got the most meth.

Damn. Of course. You get it needy. They're just like, because they would have to stick their heads out the top of the tank, wouldn't they? And then like, give the directions. So there it is. Fucking go, fucking go right now. I'll fucking turn around.

Shut up. Shut up again. Boom, boom, boom. I mean, you imagine what it sounds like when a fucking tank cannon goes off. She says the U.S. military distributed an estimated, 200 million amphetamine pills to its soldiers during World War II, and Japanese kamikaze pilots in the Pacific used it in their final fateful missions. Oh, U.S. military. Are guys on meth, too? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. World War meth.

U.S. military distributed and estimated 200 million amphetamine pills to its soldiers during World War II. Yeah, well, this is, look, if you have soldiers and they're in combat, you want them to live and succeed. You don't give a shit if they're, oh, they're taking steroids, good. Give them all the steroids. Give them every fucking thing you can give them. Give them EPO if it helps their endurance. Give them steroids. Give them shit that makes them more aggressive. Give them things that make them more confident. Give them everything. Give them beta blockers. Give them whatever the fuck works. They're in combat. Like, that's important. So if you got amphetamine, give that shit up, dog. Do you think anybody was like, they stayed addicted or anything? Oh, for sure.

Yeah? Yeah, for sure. Yeah, 100%. Would it be cruel if I went up to like a World War II veteran with like a pipe and was like torching it at the bottom? I don't think they do it that way. I think they were taking the pills. You know, he's still like to party, old man. Just crush some of them pills up, put it on a table.

Maybe he'll snort it. I learned a lot when I'm here. I feel like a lot of your guests like they have so much to like share with the world. But I just come here just ingest. Well, I'm ingested too, dog. Child soldiers in Africa. Why couldn't I say that word right? Child soldiers in Africa are commonly given a mixture called brown-brown, which is cocaine and gunpowder.

Holy shit. Whoa. This is ingested by inhaling it into the nostrils, a method that rapidly affects the user and is conducive to addiction. What about the gunpowder makes it better? Also here, as you were saying that too, back to the Civil War. They used that in alcohol. Yeah. Yeah. American Civil War soldiers were often given alcohol prior to battle as a form of liquid courage and as a means of steadying their nerves.

Huh. Wow. Nile Ferguson concluded that World War I could not have been fought without alcohol. During World War II, amphetamines were used. Yeah, amphetamines are better. Like if you've got a choice between alcohol and amphetamines, like, bro. I was watching this dude. Man, I forgot his name. He, like, gives these lectures on history. David? No, I don't know. Dan Carlin? Nah, that's not it.

Wait, can I pull out my phone? Yeah, sure. I don't know. I feel like this is like school. What was he doing lectures about? I don't know. I was only watching them because I was like, I better brief up on something to talk about.

Because last time I was here, do you know I read the comments on the last time I was here and people were like, ah, this episode, this dude is not so cool. He's not interesting. The last guy was better. That was a great episode, the last guy. so I'm like all right well who's he you know

and that dude was like out here I think he was like a fighter pilot talking about aliens like spilling and I was like why why did you put me after that fucking guy like you know on the way here on the way here the driver

was like yeah man the other day we drove the Irish comedy writer ended up getting canceled and this and this happened and they took his shows off but there's all this controversy and I'm like now I got to go up against this guy Like, that guy.

You can't think about it that way, man. That's true. We're just hanging out. We're having fun. People like these shows as much as they like all the other shows sometimes. This is part of the show where I talk about AG1, which I've done for years. And usually I like to talk about routine. And don't get me wrong, because routine is super important.

And AG1 is exactly the kind of daily easy routine that can help you feel healthy and help you get the nutrients that your body needs. But even if you love a routine, isn't it nice to switch it up a little? Well, here we go. After 15 years of the original, AG1 has introduced three new flavors. Tropical, berry, and citrus. It's still daily. It's still a routine, but it's no longer one flavor fits all. And honestly, the best part is that's the only thing that's changed.

Besides new flavors, we're talking about the same science, the same 75 plus ingredients, and the same exact benefits. I partnered with AG1 for so long because they're committed to constantly improving. And now that includes offering three new flavors. Subscribe today and choose Tropical. citrus, berry, or the classic original variety. If you use my link, you'll also get a free bottle of AGD3K2, an AG1 welcome kit and five AG1 travel packs with your first subscription. Just go to drinkag1.com slash Joe Rogan or head to the link in the description to get

started with AG1 and try the new flavors yourself. That's drinkag1.com slash Joe Rogan. Look, this guy's name is Dr. Roy Casagranda. Okay, and what is his deal? So I was watching this video where he explains like what led to World War II. Oh, interesting. But he spends like 45 minutes talking about the hundreds of years before World War I even

and how that kind of came to play. So first he like, first he explains how World War I came to play because to understand why World War II happened, you got to understand why what caused World War I. World One, you know. And I forgot where I was going with this. Just history. History of war. Oh, yeah, yeah.

No, so everything, I listened to it. I had to listen to it like three times because I, you know, I just kept getting distracted and stuff. But it sounds so, like, sophisticated and it makes sense. If you listen to it all, I'm like, okay, I get why World War I happen now. But then finding out that everybody was just, like, drunk and on meth the whole time. It just sounds like, it's. sounds like just such a bro-y idea to go to war like it's all the sophistication behind it

but then at the end they were just like fuck let's just get fucked up while we're out there though well all those old-time english gentlemen they all wanted to go to war it was like you wanted to prove your courage in battle you know it was a it was a it was a broy thing it was almost like a frat boy thing well everybody wanted to conquer land back then right and just rule empires and shit i feel like we should go back to that What are you talking about? No, I feel like stuff is too leisurely now. It's too comfortable.

That's true. But we need to teach people that leisurely is not good for you. You don't need artificial, you know, you don't need the kind of conflict that's going to ruin cities and kill people and don't go back to that. That's stupid. We just need to understand how to manage the human body. What do you mean? Manage the body. Manage your brain and your body.

Are you saying everybody should work out to just eat healthier? That's the most minor interpretation of it. But we need to figure out a way to keep people from being aggressive and key people from being greedy and key people from stealing resources. And we need to curb some of the worst aspects of human nature. And I think the only way to do that is mushrooms. Everybody has like mandatory mushrooms. Mandatory mushrooms. Mandatory mushrooms.

If I become president, mandatory mushrooms. We'll have mushroom day. And afterwards, everybody's just going to hug it out. Go, I don't know what I was thinking, man. I'm sorry. It's like an adult vaccine. Yeah. Yeah.

A vaccine for human stupidity. But, I mean, our problem is that we're managing human behavior, right? We're managing we want to steal resources from this country because they got all the natural gas and this country's got all the minerals. So we're trying to make some sort of a side deal with the rebels to overthrow the government. That's what most of the problems in the world. It's people being cunts. Hold on, hold on, before I forget this. What do you got?

I got rappers. You said two things. Earlier, you said that was the most minor interpretation. Yes. And then right now you said, what you said? Cure, the stupidity. Human stupidity. The cure for human stupidity.

Yeah. Yeah. Cure for human stupidity. Yeah. Minor interpretation, the most minor interpretation. The most minor. That should be the title of my next special and cure for human stupidity should be the title for your next special There's no cure, but we need to we need to guide a larger percentage of people in the right direction

And that like worldwide would that be the only way we save this This experiment of the human race the only other way is AI AI is a way that might save us or make us obsolete Yo, AI, that's some scary shit. Because I don't know if it's real. I saw this video. I don't know when it was shot or like how recent or not recent it is. Because I just, I mean, all I'm watching is just Instagram reels, right? Right.

It's a minute. At the longest, it's like a minute long. So this could be a minute from some movie from 2002. Okay. Or it could have been recorded. But there's a video supposedly the, essentially. the godfather of AI warns people about the dangers of AI. But I'm like, why, like, if that's real, if whoever it was, like, behind AI, whatever team it was, is like, hey, but be careful with this.

It's like, why'd you make it then? Like, I feel like they just did it to jerk themselves off, like a real Oppenheimer thing, where he's like, now I become death destroyer of world order. It's like, why'd you do it then? You know what I mean? Well, it's the same kind of thing in that you have to do it because if you don't do it, your enemy's going to do it. If your enemy's get a hold of it, the whole world is very different. The idea is that if America does it, America, we kind of suck in some ways. We suck with some of the things that we do with other countries.

We suck with some of the ways we spend our taxes. But we're the best out there. We're the best option right now. It's the best way to run the world. It's the best way to behave in terms of like your freedoms, having as much freedom as possible. No countries have this combination of freedom speech. First Amendment, Second Amendment, there's a lot of rights that we have in this country that are just different than the whole rest of the world.

I think it's the best way to do it. And we like to think of ourselves as being the most benevolent of all the superpowers. We're the best ones. The other ones are evil. They're communist. They're run by dictators. That's why everybody's afraid of Trump being a dictator. We don't want any dictators in this country.

So if we develop AI first, we won. That's good. Just like we developed the nuclear bomb. We dropped a couple of them and said, now back the fuck off. We're done here. We don't want to do this anymore. And then we never did it again.

So that's good. Now, if Germany had developed the atomic bomb first and nuked Britain and nuked America and just went on a nuking spree before we could ever develop one. Imagine how different the world would be. Yeah. You ever watch those videos,

the AI videos of like two celebrities making out. It'll be like Elon Musk kissing, like, Brad Pitt or Trump, you know. Yeah, I've seen those. I feel like we had to make a couple of those and then tell the world like, all right, now back the fuck off. We did that.

Yeah. Do you know how many times they blew up atomic bombs for tests, though, after that? I'm learning more and more about that recently. I'm reading this new book right now by this guy, Richard Dolan, is a UFO researcher. And he's talking about one of the things that they were doing was they were doing altitude detonations.

So they were detonating these nuclear. bombs 150 miles above earth they did a bunch of them they did it like a bunch of times and then was doesn't it stay in the air they didn't even know they were just experimenting and testing there's a bunch of shit they did that is so wild you know like john wayne did a movie um in the nevada desert near where the test sites were where they they blew up like i don't know how many hundreds of fucking nuclear bombs out there they blew up tons of nuclear bombs and then john wayne just went out and was like around. The whole cast got cancer.

The whole cast? The whole cast got cancer. John Wayne died of cancer. Like a giant percentage of the people that worked on the show on that movie got cancer. Imagine you find that the results of that. Imagine being on the team who's like sending the nukes into the air and then you just kind of see like the cloud state in the air. Like, I wonder who was the first guy to be like, ah, shit. They didn't even understand, man.

No one had been, no one had been subject to large scale radiation before. It was a new thing. especially from a detonation, it had never happened before. There was no meltdowns yet. There was no Three Mile Island or Fukushima yet. 1980 article in People magazine reported that out of the 220 cast and crew members, 91 had contracted cancer with 46 deaths, led to the film being dubbed an RKO radioactive picture. The controversy surrounding the film location and subsequent health issues has been a point of discussion

and debate amongst historians and scientists. But, yeah, like, the amount of bombs that they detonated is... Was it a good movie, at least? I don't think it was. It might have been that Gingas Khan movie. Was it the Genghis Khan movie? Oh, it was a piece of shit. What is that movie rated on Rotten Tomatoes?

It has to be a zero. It's so bad. It's John Wayne playing a Mongolian, which is the craziest thing of all time. It was the ultimate whitewashing. He's doing Mongolian face? And he talks like this. 10% on rotten tomatoes.

This is what you got cancer for, John Wayne. I know, you got cancer for the worst. The Conqueror. And look how hot she is. She's, like, completely European-looking, his girlfriend. Like, play some of this because it's so stupid. Yeah. Fall off the horse.

Look how hot she is. She's all impressed by him. And he just took her clothes off. Oh. Tammagin. Under his heel, the cowering nation. Look how bad this is. conquered woman. He took

what he wanted when he wanted it. Fort I, meets his fire with ice, matches his fury with flame. Your hatred will kindle into love. Before that day dawns, Mongol, the vultures will feast it on your heart.

Oh shit. Bro, I mean, come on. This is the dumbest movie ever to gain John Wayne cancer. It's so bad. How bad is that movie? Women always talk about how, like, I was reading this article where they were trying to trash F1. The movie?

Yeah. And they were like, oh, another movie where the only woman working, because like the girl in the movie, she's like the first, what is she? Like the team director or something for an F1 team, like first woman with her. And she doesn't, you know, like she doesn't level up until Brad Pitt unlocks her. potential like oh like we need a man for that but it's like bro women have the best roles in movies not in that movie i mean yeah she got it she got hit pretty hard but if you think about it this is a movie about like oh gang is con conquering so much but the best thing he conquered was the woman like really you know what i mean like the woman's always like the main prize of the

movie well throughout history that's one of the things that people did go to war for women yeah for Sure. Nobody went to war for some dude's butt. A lot of, I feel like a lot of war could have been prevented than if, like, porn had just came around way sooner. No, because porn's out now and there's still plenty of war. That's true. So why are they going to war for now? Resources. All it is is, like, tricking people, tricking people into doing something for you. Women and resources, man. Women and resources. When are we going to learn? It's just money, man.

There's enough women and resources for. everybody. There's not, though. Not? There's at least enough women. Yeah, but they're not the same. Here's the thing. For women, I think the number is women are only attracted to 20% of the

men. So, like, 100% of the women out there are only attracted to 20% of the men. That kind of makes it fun, you know? You got to hope you're into 20%. Yeah, but if you're not, you're fucked. If you're not, you just go to war. And there's more of those dudes that are in the 80% now than ever in history that we can know that we know of right like isn't there like when they do the studies of

the amount of people right now currently that are celibate that are not having any sex at all and not by their own decision not by their choice i think they're higher now than they've been in a long time people are going celibate on accident they just know but they're unfuckable unintentioned nobody wants to fuck them celibacy that's real man that's like a real problem A bunch of people are just sitting at home and watching TV all day and ordering DoorDash. I think you got to, like, split your time up, you know what I mean? I think celibacy could be good for, like, a week or two, and then you got to be like, all right, no more DoorDash. Let's get out there.

Just get out there. It's not being a pussy. Get married or, you know, get into relationships, having an affair. Well, don't be just jerking off all day. That's crazy. I actually want to write a self-help book, but not like a real. real one like a maybe like a joke one yeah yeah but something that I don't think my stand-up comedy whatever give me canceled but I think maybe like a book but I want to call it something like

like like you're not autistic you're just 25 in like an asshole or something like that and then the whole book just tell people like get off your ass man like stop making excuses what do you do for actual autistic people that read that book though like hey he says I'm not autistic I'm like you're not autistic then believe what you want how many people do you think are autistic what percentage um i don't know i feel like probably a lot but i think there's like there's like there's like odd people are saying they're autistic so they get like extra credit yeah i think it's like i think it's like being like like like what do you call it like apache or whatever like Cherokee where you're just like oh yeah i'm like one-eighth yeah i'm one-eighth autistic

yeah i'm kind of psychic yeah like so i think if you come up on the spectrum it doesn't mean You're like enough. Full-blown. Yeah. Like you've seen people with like full-blown autism and the struggles they have to go through in life. Like somebody has to be in their life. You know what I mean? Like to. Yeah, for non-verbal people.

Yeah. Or like just whatever. But you can't like be a, you can't just like wake up, you know, play video games, go do stuff on your own and then like use autism as an excuse for other stuff you don't want to do. Like, I didn't want to shake that guy's hand because I'm just like autistic. like yeah like motherfuckers just look at the person in the face don't look them in the eyes just look them in the face or something just don't be rude like I feel like a lot I feel like a lot of and maybe it's because the way I grew up but like if I try to use autism as an excuse to get out of doing stuff I think I just would have got smacked in the back of the head I think

they would have the autism matter of me you know me the one eighth at least I don't think I have any autism in me no unfortunately why you say unfortunately maybe help with math Help with numbers Jamie Like rain man I think Jamie's autistic How does he How does he

Maybe not autistic Maybe just knows how your brain works How does he know To highlight the exact sentences You should read What's the difference between Because he's smart What's the difference between

And he's been doing this forever What's the difference Between Asperger's and autism Like the technical difference Because like they're kind of interchangeable right Are they both like Communication type a lot of times people say the spectrum they call it the spectrum like oh he's on the spectrum

oh okay okay where like the spectrum could be anywhere like you be you could be like you get of a touch just a touch of the tism you know or you could be like full blown I don't know if this is official but here's an explanation key characters all right um in autism significant delays in language maybe nonverbal or of limited speech um Asperger's typically no language delay advanced vocabulary for age Interesting. Autism varies widely from intellectual disability to above average intelligence. And then Asperger is usually average to above average intelligence. Autism, social interaction difficulties may show less interest in engagement.

And then Asperger's desire social interaction but struggles with social cues and nonverbal communication. So it seems like Asperger's is like the upgraded autism. it's like autism is too risky you could you know get a kid who's nonverbal but go with Asperger's you might get a genius everybody wants autism though well I think they really would want Asperger's if you showed it to them it's like Seattleus versus Viagra yeah if they knew yeah if they knew I think people use autism as like oh look I'm not average I'm actually high functioning autism like I'm actually a genius in this class right people definitely use They love to be a victim of something.

They love to have some sort of an ailment that you don't know about, you know. People love that. I'm not like that. You know, I'm diabetic. I never tell people. Are you full-blown diabetic? Full-blown. Type one?

Not like with the autism thing. Yeah, type one. So you're born with it? No. I got it when I was like six. Really? Yeah. Type one when you're six.

That's crazy. Yeah. You know, they just cured type one diabetes and a woman with stem cells. What? Yeah. It was the first of its kind. Was it China that did this? See if you could find it, Jamie.

But yeah, you know, they're using stem cells to try to treat all sorts of different things. And one of the things that they were really successful was with this lady, they cured for the first time ever, type 1 diabetes. How do they give you the stem cells? Can you smoke it in a pipe? No. I think they injected it into you. It's not too bad. But if this, I mean, you might not have to take insulin.

insulin. Do you take insulin right now? Yeah. You might not have to take insulin. They might be able to fix you. How do I get these stem cells? Let's see what it says. What is the, it says, world's first stem cell therapy reverses diabetes. So where was it from? Where did it happen? Groundbreaking Title in Peking University. They took cells from three people with type 1 diabetes and reverted them to pluripotent state, meaning they could develop into any type of cell. This technique originally developed by Shinya Yamanaka at Kyoto University, nearly 20 years ago, was modified by Deng's team to use small molecules instead of proteins allowing for better control.

They use these chemically reprogram stem cells to create 3D clusters of insulin-producing isolates, which were tested for safety in animals. In June of 2023, the team transplanted about 1.5 million isolates into a woman's abdominal muscles. A new approach as most isolate transplants are done in the liver. By placing the cells in the abdomen, they could monitor them with an MRI and remove them if necessary. The operation took less than 30 minutes. Two and a half months after her transplant, the woman with type one diabetes started producing enough insulin on her own, and she has continued to do so for over a year. How about that? Her blood sugar levels are stable 98% of the time, eliminating dangerous

spikes and drops that's crazy what this was this was in china i believe so yeah bad ass yeah what if the what if i met this doctor he was like all right i'll do the operation on you but you have to say my name correctly the first time was yamananka shimoya practice it i would say practice it if you want to not have diabetes what kind of question is that they might be able to hook you up all right what do you think i don't know how do i like how do you like how do you start that process you just go to China yeah you got to go to China right now get out get out of here I get on a plane I gotta finish this press tour I'll cure diabetes after I bet uh it's gonna be mainstream within a few years if that worked and that's

reproducible dude I want to go to China now for real and like it'll probably be in America too because what they're saying the way they're laying it out it sounds like there's a paper on it and that that thing that was that was that a published paper Yeah, it's called VX-880. I can't say that. I guess I should probably wait until they do, like, a few more patients, right? It's like PS5s. Like, you want to let the first round go out first with the ones with the bugs and stuff?

No, fuck it. I would go right in there. Let's go. Let's see if you could fix me. Yeah? Yeah, you don't want to shoot in insulin all the time. That's annoying. How often do you have to do it?

Ah, before a meal, and I usually eat about three times a day. Oh, so you have to give yourself three injections. day that's annoying yeah and since you were six you've been doing that yeah wow yeah i'm a little tired of it does it yeah this might be it man this might be able to fix you what if i miss the shots though like here's a trial i think they've done in the u.s with 12 people oh they did a trial with 12 people um 12 participants demonstrated engraftment with glucose responsive endogenes endogenos genus, endigenna, endogenous. Indigenous.

Why can I say endogenous? How did I not read that correctly? Indogenous C-peptide production, which is durable through one year of follow-up. Wow. What does that mean? That means a year of follow-up. It was still working. Had a reduction in exogenous insulin use, meaning reduction in daily insulin use by 92%.

So they still had to take a little bit of insulin sometimes. So I bet this is something that you could. could probably do more than one time. These were all off of one dose. They got one shot of infusion. So if a full dose and then you have a complete reduction in insulin reduce reduction, so it says 83% of them no longer required insulin at month 12. That's nuts.

83% of all the people they tested didn't require insulin a year later. That's amazing. You got to get in on that dog. Yeah, but I don't even know who to talk to. We'll find out. We'll ask afterwards. All right. For real.

You should probably find out, like, maybe there's another trial they're doing. I'm for real, too. Yeah, I would get involved in that trial. That seems, like, totally reasonable. Yeah. Unless I would, well, I'd talk to a scientist first. I'd like to talk to some people that are concerned about things. Yeah, you always talk to the person who's, like, against the plan.

Yeah, there's always some side effect that you don't take any consideration. Like, oh. Well, if you do that, here's the problem. It also does this. You're like, oh, no. I don't, yeah, I don't know, but what if I don't even, like, what if I suck after I'm cured? What are you talking about, Ron? What if it just changes me?

What are you saying? What are you saying? Honestly, living without diabetes, that would go to my head so fast. You get cocky? Yeah, I drop people out of my life. Like, fuck I need you for, I'm healthy. I've heard people say things like that before. Like, if I fix this, maybe I won't be funny anymore.

or if I fix this, maybe my life won't be good anymore. Nah, honestly, I could use something life-changing. I got, like, writers' block real bad right now. Do you? Yeah. I'm, like, unmotivated with new stand-up. I was reading that book you got out there. The War of Art?

No, no, no. Oh, the Hunterst-Thompson book? Yeah. Hunterst-Thompson was a dude, or that was a chick? You don't know who Hunterst Thompson is? Nah, but I kind of have heard of Thompson's work through. I read in the, like, before the book actually starts, it's like other books by Hunter S. Thompson.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Yeah. And, what is it, Rum Diaries or something? So it's a dude. Yeah. Yeah, that dude's good. What did you take before you came here? Nothing.

You're on sleeping pills or something? What the fuck is going on? Not, man. I'm sober. I just woke up and came here. Yeah, Hunterst Thompson's a very famous writer. the counterculture movement he wrote this paragraph in that book man and that's johnny japp he played him in that movie look yeah good old johnny dep man that's a fun fucking movie i know

if you ever seen it i've seen most of it moving in los vegas it's a fucking great it's a great movie and the book is really great too he was a fascinating guy like probably one of my not probably one of my favorite authors ever he he he that book that's out there you said it's a first edition yeah it's like uh diaries of his right like he just kind of wrote his thoughts and like what he did throughout that day. Charles Bukowski has a book like that. What is it? What is it called?

Like the captain is out to lunch. Something like that, right? Felipe Spars will put me onto that book. I read, and I did his podcast. He has a couple of Charles Bukowski books in his little library. Oh, no shit. Shout out to Felipe. I love that, dude.

Yeah, dude, so talented. I've been friends with him forever. The captain is out to lunch and the sailors have taken over the ship, Charles Bacowis. Yeah, so it's kind of like that Hunter is Thompson book. And in both of those, I like both of those books a lot. I've read like half of that one. I'm going to buy that one. But I like with Hunter and Thompson, he said,

because he talks about being in this hotel room. And he says, living on pills, phone calls unmade, people unseen, pages unwritten, money unmade, pressure piling up all around to make some kind of breakthrough and get moving again. get the gun off the rails, finish something, croaked this awful habit of not ever getting to the end of anything. Yeah. Dude, man.

Yeah. I feel like I'm there right now. Yeah. But I don't know if I care as much as he did because he at least wrote about it. And I've just kind of been like, ah, I'll get to it. Well, you're a lot younger, first of all. And second of all, like, he was already successful writer that was trying to, like, get the fire stoked. You know, that's the thing.

This is a great. book you can keep this um i have oh that's not it i'm sorry i thought that was the war of art we have piles oh yeah i saw it out there we have stephen presfield gave me a whole box of them i'll give you a copy when we leave okay that's a book that will help you a lot because it's basically just about that that book is just about overcoming this resistance that people have to work it's hard it's hard to make yourself work. It is. You know?

Well, like, I have this thing where, like, I can't help but to, like, obsess on a subject and lose a lot of interest in another subject or other subjects. But, like, I, like, yeah, I choose what I like or whatever, you know what I mean? Yeah. But, like, to a degree. That makes sense? So, like, it's like chasing butterflies. Like, sometimes it's like that yellow butterfly.

Like, I just got to keep fucking fucking with. butterfly right here and there's so many other butterflies around but then sometimes it's the blue one so like comedy is like the blue butterfly and then like other shit is like other butterflies I started in the automotive YouTube channel with my buddy oh okay yeah it's not super big but it's so fun and it's just like little challenges that I find in it you know like learn this learn how to do that learn how to do this in the automotive in terms of like repairing stuff like yeah we put we got a 1989 240 sX it's my buddy's car he bought it for like 600 bucks And he wants to put an L.S. in it.

But before putting the L.S. in it, he wanted to blow up the original motor. So we put nitrous and turbo on it, but without tuning it. So there's no computer telling it, like, how to do it safely or, like, efficiently. So it's just like. God. And we didn't blow up the motor. We blew up the coupler for the turbo, though. So, like, and the motor sucks now.

Like, it won't stay on. So this is a Nissan? Yeah, an 89 Nissan 240. Oh, wow. Yeah. It's a horrible. Why did you choose that year? That's my friend's car.

He just got a good deal. Yeah. Everything we find is pretty much Facebook marketplace. Oh, okay. And so then you're going to drop an LS into that? Yeah, yeah. But maybe. Look, that's the channel.

There's your channel. Formula Bean. Oh, nice. Yeah. It's like, you know, it's like pinnacle of racing. And they have all these such intelligent engineers working on these cars and they make these great motors and stuff. And I feel like this is the exact opposite.

Oh, dude. You're doing some. real cars. ULS swapped an R34 GTR? That's more like clickbait. It's just sitting in the car. We didn't like hook it up or nothing. We had to take that car to get aligned. Click on that. Click on that. Those skylines are legendary cars. Those are legendary cars. Oh yeah. He got that. He got a deal on that car. They're hard to get, man. They couldn't import them into the United States until like just a few years ago. 25 years after the production, right? So they were, the people have done shit like that before. I've got, I want to

I went down a rabbit hole the other day of skyline, like mods and all the different things that people have done to skylines. This is one dude. He has this insane metallic deep purple, like a dark purple. Yeah, Midnight Purple 3 probably. Bro. It is so beautiful. It's like a big, it's like a Cardinal Sindel to put an LS in a skyline. Oh, right.

You want to use a Japanese engine. Yeah, yeah. The RB, it's the original skyline motor. So that's an R34 GTT, so that comes with the RB25. The GTR, which is like the super famous and super expensive one, comes with the RB 26. So you really know your shit, man. I'm learning. I have an R35.

I have a Nizmo. Oh, yeah, you told me one time, I think. Oh, I love it. One guy tried to sell me one of those, but I couldn't do it. It was out of my price range. I have an R35 too, but not an Nismo. Well, the thing about R35s is you could turn it into exactly what Nizmo is. Yeah.

I mean, everything is modable. Yeah. I mean, these cars have been around for so long in the community of modders for both them and a lot of JDM vehicles like Supras, like the 240 Zs, the old ones. There's a whole company now that is in the UK that takes two, Nissan or Dotson. It was back when it was Dotson, Dotson 240s, and turns them into these fucking sick street. streamlined sports cars with like wider tires, much more horsepower, super lightweight. See, I'd like to do that. Oh, it's so exciting.

I love Japanese sports cars because you get the best of both worlds. You get performance and reliability. Like, if you get like a GTR, those are like one of the most reliable cars you can buy. And it's ridiculously fast. That's my shit right there, son. That's what I have. Do you ever take it to a track? I have not taken the GTR to a track.

You got a Nizmo, you got to take it to a track. I know, but I only have been to a track a few times, and the last time I went was a Corvette thing. I went with them. We're actually going to build a track, rather a studio on the track. Oh, yeah? That's our next move. Yeah.

We're going to build a studio at Coda. So we're going to have two studios. We're going to have a regular studio here, and then we're going to have a studio at the Circuit of the Americas. That's fucking sick. So we're going to be able to take people around the track and then do a podcast right afterwards. Hey, hire me as a driver. Can you drive?

Are you good? I do okay. I got the fastest lap time at Speed Vegas. You ever been there? Did you really? Yeah. The fastest? Yeah, for like a few hours and then some dude beat me.

What were we driving? Porsche GT3RS. Oh, okay. I was competing against my co-host on the channel there, my buddy Luis. It's a username underscore AF on Instagram. Horrible username. But anyway, we both got the same car of the Porsche to, like, compare lap times. Oh, nice.

But I had him beat by, like, eight seconds or something like that. Well, he probably does not how to drive it. Also, those cars get a little scary, the rear engine. I mean, you have an instructor just telling you what to do. Mm-hmm. But I didn't... You hit the gas harder. Yeah, I broke a little later.

Yeah. Hit the gas a little harder. I almost spun out, but I wanted to find, like, the limit to the car. But, yeah, I want my, like, second lap, I almost spun the car out. but I was able to keep it. Yeah, those cars are just designed entirely for racing. That's a crazy car that you can get, a race car for the street.

When we went, the last time we went Dakota, we went for Corvette. So Corvette has the new ZR1. It holds the record, right? Yes. At what track was it? Nuremberg, yeah. It holds the record in basically every single track

that it's ever entered into. Holy shit. Yeah, they're just, it's a thousand horsepower from the factory. And then the record at Nuremberg Ring that they did, which is the record only for American cars, it's for the ZR1X, I believe it's, I believe the time is six minutes, 49 seconds, which is insanely fast, and it wasn't driven by a professional driver. It was driven by the engineer. Yes, the engineer broke the American lap time record. So everyone else is using Formula One drivers. They're using the sickest drivers on Earth to get the most amount of time.

So a professional driver that I follow, this guy, I forget his last name, Misha, something or another, on YouTube, he analyzed the footage and he said, you could shave 10 seconds off this. Yeah. Which is crazy. Oh, here it goes. Pro driver says Corvette 01 could have gone 10 seconds faster at Nurembergering. Who is it said that? Is it more than one pro driver said that? No, Misha.

This guy. This guy's great. I follow his. Oh, I follow him. Yes. What is his channel called? Let's give him a shout out, young Jamie. 10 seconds in the world of racing, that's like a lot.

Yeah. That's a lot. So it's M-I-S-H-A, and the last name I don't know how to pronounce it is C-H-R-O-U-D-I-N. Shahruddin? How would you say that? Shardin. Shardin? Anyway, cool guy, great channel. It's dope.

So he analyzed it, and he drives that track all the time. He takes people on a rides at that track, right? And he's a nasty driver. He drives wicked. He looks so calm, too, man. He's just holling ass. Well, he knows that track, like the back of his hand. He's always at the Nureberg ring.

He does track days on there all the time. So he drives a whole bunch of crazy cars, including GTRs, all kinds of crazy shit, different things that people have put together and modded. So he says, with someone more comfortable with the car, he's like a sub six-minute and 40-second time, which is what they achieved, is relatively. easy and possible, he would say. He said, maybe they've already done a lap with a pro driver and will release later when they find it necessary.

So what Corvette likes to do, though, they like to do their lap times with the people built the car because they feel like the people built the car like intimately connected. Instead of farming it off to some Formula One psychopath, get the actual guys who designed and engineered the car. And if these guys are breaking records, they're great drivers. Don't get me wrong. I drove with one of them when we were at Cota. Oh, shit.

Yeah, and I drove the car. I drove that ZR1. It's the best car I've ever driven in my life. Yeah? I've driven a lot of cars. Takes corners badass? It's insane. It's insane.

It's got the power, like an electric car. The acceleration is bananas. It's nuts. It's zero to 60 and under two seconds. It fucking flies. That's scary. It has massive downforce, huge wheels, sticky tires. And you're going around these corners.

you can't believe the amount of grip it has and the stability of it the balance of it what kind of tires are they put on those they're cup tires um i don't know what the exact i believe they're i don't want to say but i think they're michelin cups i wish i knew how to like fabricate my own suspension for cars really you'd want to do all that yeah i want to learn i don't mean i don't want to make my own suspension i kind of i mean maybe one day i don't know i do want to learn how to fabricate other parts easier parts but I feel like all the cars I buy

that's like the most important thing to me is like handling Oh yeah I bought a shout out to this dude I'm gonna shout out his page He's got some cool stuff on YouTube

Krusty What is it Krusty Classics garage Let me make sure I'm getting that right He He sold me A 1973 Plymouth Barracuda

But it has a front end From a 71 barracuda Oh, the nice front end. Yeah. Four headlights. Yeah. That's the front end. That's the one.

That's the one. That's the one. I have a 70. He had less swapped it. Look, that's the one. That's the one I bought. I love that car. That looks like a 70.

Oh, that's the original front end. That's the original front end before they swapped it out. No, no, no. That's the 73. 71 front end. It looks like, no, that's not. Because it only has one headline on each side. Oh, no, no, you know, you're right.

I think that's the 73. Yeah, yeah. They wrecked into him. He had to swap it. Oh. Oh, I see, I see. Yeah. My mom had a 71 when I was a kid.

What? Yeah. Dude, your mom was kicking ass. Yeah, it was pretty dope. Dope car. I learned how to drive on it. That car, he had less swapped it. And the suspension is pretty tight.

But when I got to, it has no speedometer. So when I got it to, like, what I assume is somewhere over 100, yeah, the steering wheel became a little scary. Oh, they're super loose. The front end is so, like, light. Well, it's also the steering sucks. Their steering was so vague. He has like aftermarket on it.

Like, I just, I don't know what all he did to it. I got to take a deeper look into it. I bought it and then just hauled ass back to Dallas. Yeah. And once I got on the highway closer to my house, a Camry was getting cocky. So I was just like, nah, I got to show on this. A Camry? Yeah.

A Camry was getting cocky. Oh, that looks great with that 71 front end. That 71 front end is gorgeous. Yeah, look, that's, I think that's when we bought it. My friend Brigham has a 71. badass it's so nice this dude has everything lswopped he has people sending him work from like other states even really yeah this dude does good work but he ls swapped into a barracuda ooh yeah no that's like more blasphemy like the thing we did with the skyline like um you want to see the dope

as barracuda you've ever seen yeah yeah jamie pull up mine oh shit i had one made by roadster shop this is the craziest barracuda ever rooster they make the frames and shit right they make everything damn They did everything, and they put a racing engine in it, a mercury racing engine in it. Bam. So it's like a 9,000 RPM racing engine. Holy shit. Oh, it's nasty. It's so crazy.

That's it? Yeah. That's my car. This thing is bonkers. And it's got a roll cage in it. It's all, like, the interior is gorgeous. But it's six-speed. manual transmission, but it sounds like an exotic car.

Oh, yeah. America. Fuck yeah. Hey, you got one cup holder? Yeah, me too. Yeah, fuck everybody else. My interior doesn't look as nice as that one, but that's one thing our cooters have in common is the cup holder. Yeah, well, that's.

That's all the interior is totally different. That thing is sick, bro. You have that, you got anismo? You have good taste. Yeah, I like stuff. What's your gayest car? The gayest car? Yeah.

What's your car that you're just like? I guess my Tesla. Yeah, that one takes the cake. I mean, if you want to ask the average person, but I love it. I drove that today. That thing's awesome. Yeah, that's your daily driver? Yeah, I drive it all the time.

It's a model S plaid, and it's also, it's customized. So this company called Unplugged Performance, they take a Model S, and then they put carbon fiber fenders on it, wider track, wider tires, upgraded suspension, change the interior. Hey, do you have tinted windows? Yeah. Yeah. Nobody ever recognizes you in traffic.

You know, like, what the fuck? Usually they say hi. Yeah. Like, hey, what's up? You don't get weirdos? I feel like you'd get most weirdos at anybody. Get some weirdos, but most people are nice. Most people, the most people in the world, the reason why you can get on the highway and no one's

just slamming into each other, and the reason why you can go to the mall and everything, Everyone's not stampling, trampeeding, stampeding over people. It's because most people are nice. Yeah. Most people are cool. Most people are cool until they start, you know, running out of women and resources. Right. In cells.

In cells. They get dangerous. They get on the meth. Insoles. They get radicalized online. Yeah. Don't do drugs. Take care of your bodies.

What are the tires on the Corvette, Jamie? Do we find out what they are? They're super sticky. You'll drive it. You'll go insane. It's the greatest car ever. Tires make a big difference, man. Huge difference, but it's also the mid-engine.

When they switch the Corvette architecture from that front-engine design from the C-7 to the C-8, Michelin-C-C-8, yeah, there's Pilot Sport 4-S. And I think you could use cup tires, too, I think. I think it's an option. Mid-engine cars, they seem to be dominating on tracks, huh? Well, the balance is so good. When you have that balance of the engine in front of the rear wheels, first of all, you have massive amounts of traction because all that weight is back there.

There's always a problem with that front engine. The only time I think the front engine can be like a mid-engine thing, I think is if like the track has different elevations. Like, what is it, like Laguna Seca, I think, has like a huge downhill uphill thing. Oh, where it helps you to have the front engine bias? Yeah, I think, I mean, I'd imagine that's the only place that probably can make a difference.

Because like when you're coming, what is it? Like, man, I think I saw a video on it one time. I didn't have the volume up because my kid was asleep but I'm pretty sure that's what they were talking about you know on the side of the track they have like the

like the stripes the red and white and sometimes they go over that but you know how sometimes so if you're going off of one of those and you're also going downhill I'd imagine you'd want like a front

engine I think you'd get the grip faster as you're coming down whereas if the motor was in the back I think you'd have to kind to catch your balance a little more than a front engine. I could be wrong, though. I don't know.

The motor's in the middle. See, that's the thing. The motor in the back with the Porsche, you have to learn how to use that pendulum effect as you're driving. But the guys who are really good at it, though, they use it to their effect. Like, they steer with the throttle. So, like, as they're turning, they're hitting the gas. The ass end is kicking out, and then they're modulating it, and then they're going straight. So the guys that are really good at driving Porsches, it's pretty beautiful to watch

because they just know how to use that rear engine bias. But the thing about the Corvette and also the Cayman, the Cayman G.T.4, which is another amazing mid-engine car, is that engine in front of the real wheel in the center of the car makes the car perfectly balanced. You just feel so confident. Even when the tires break, you feel really confident that this car is under control. And the Corvette has so much down force. It's so well engineered. I mean, these guys gave us, before they let us drive, me and Hinchcliff went down there. And before they let us drive, they gave us, like, this full tour-to-force explanation of the engineering involved in this car and what the goal was. It's the most ridiculous production car that any American company has ever put out by far. The more you get into cars, the more you get into, like, physics and balance. Yeah. It starts off as like, oh, shit, like 340 horsepower and 400 pound feet of torque. And then later on, you're just like, dude, that thing is so balanced.

Yes, balance is everything. And really, for thrills, if you really want to enjoy. a car enjoy a car it's not about how fast you go like this whole lap time thing it's cool because if you like going on a track and i do like going on a track it's fun and it's fun to have a car that's really good at moving around a track and driving fast but in the real world what you want is sensory experiences that's what you want out of a car what you mean sensory you want to hear the sound you want to feel the gears as you're shifting you want to push the clutch in and pop that sucker in a third and let off the clutch as you hit the gas you want to smell it you want to

feel it you want to really you want a manual transmission and a manual steering you don't even want power assisted steering so you want a light car like an early 9-11 if you really want to feel like what's the ultimate thrill of driving it's a really well-sorted out air-cooled 9-11 Air cool 9-11 Oh, those old Porsches are so light You can get them like 2,000 pounds And they strip things out of them Those are like stupid expensive now, right?

Yeah, they are now But it depends on which model You can still get some models Like the G-body models They're pretty reasonable Until people start realizing that I start scooping them up too But there's some that don't look quite as good

But fuck what it looks like Get that out of your head Which you want to just experience the car Like when you drive, like a, you can get like a 19, let's find out what a, how much is a 1982 9-11 cost? Let's see if we can find one. I hate that I, I just recently started getting into Porsches and I like, I hate that I like them now.

They're great. They are, they're really, but they're so, but they're so expensive. They're also good investments. Yeah, they're worth more money after you buy them than they are when you buy them. It's one of the rare cars that will continue. Okay, there's a beautiful one. That one's pretty expensive That one's $70,000

That seems like somebody has put some They probably put some work into that one What does it say in terms of what's been done to it Oh my God, it only has 100 miles on it That's crazy You know when I first started making money I felt like I was buying cars like that That were more like collector type

But now my garage is so different Because I don't like that Jimmy, go back to that I like to fucking put miles on them Yeah, no, I hear you, but this is nuts. To find an 82 Porsche with that low amount of miles, that's crazy. A hundred miles? I would L.S. I'll buy it in L.S.

Hey, look, I got one of those, but not that year. Go back up, skyline right there. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I got a different one, though. What one do you have? I have the 1971. Oh, really? Yeah, it's an original.

But that car, that's one of those cars that I'm like, I don't know. if I should keep it or not, because it's so valuable as long as I don't fuck with it too much. Oh, it's an investment. If I had that car, if I was you, I just keep that sucker well-maintained, don't drive it anywhere, hold on to it, enjoy it. That'll be worth a million dollars someday. I don't know. I think I'm with L.S. It. Does it have the original engine? Your original engine, yep. Oh, man, I wouldn't fuck with it if it was you.

It still smells like the Japanese dude who used to drive it to work. This is crazy. This car only has 100 miles on it. So that car is not going to be fast in comparison to a modern car, but boy, would you enjoy driving it? That is an enjoyable car. You drive that car. You feel everything. It's like you're in a ride. I don't know what year they started doing this, but they have a...

Oh, it says that 8,000 miles on it. 90,000, yeah. What? 100 miles on the new engine, maybe. 8,475, Jamie. Right? Is that the last one? Is that up to the next mile?

When that goes over to zero, does that make a six? Usually it's a different number or a different color or something. Oh. Most cars tracked up to 100,000, right? Yeah, maybe not. Maybe it's 9,000. Like, does it go 6, 7, 8, 960? Does it do that?

I don't know. Hey, that's not bad. We'll use it, 82. So either way. Yeah, if it's an 82, but that doesn't make any sense. Oh, I think they're saying it has 100 miles on a rebuilt engine. Let's see what it says. Something is fully restored.

Fully restored. That's it. Okay. No miles. Original engine trends, fully restored. No miles. Okay, so it only has 100 miles on the original, or the engine that's been fully restored. Okay, that makes more sense.

So it's got a, they're lying then. You can't say it as 100 miles because then all the trends, all the other shit, like the suspension, everything else has got all those miles on it. Unless you swapped out every fucking component in the car. They have a weird, uh, the transmission. I don't know what year they started doing this. Oh, the dog leg went down to one? No, no, well, the thing, it just feels different.

Like, I forgot what it was. My buddy bought one, the guy I run the channel with Louise. So this is like the cheapest Porsche ever, but it looks so good. He made a whole YouTube thing about it. Like, he made videos on it. He got this Porsche for like, I think it was like $3,200 bucks, $3,600 bucks or something on Facebook. The dude was like, yeah, it's a 07 Porsche. He's like, the motors kapits.

It's no good So my buddy goes to check it out And it has a knocking in it And the paint is just real ugly And he buys it He's like fuck it I'm just take the chance Maybe maybe it's simple fix

And he takes it to our buddy Brian back in Fort Worth To get it painted So now the paint is just brand new But the motor still knocks And my dad Pull up to that same shop That same day to get a truck painted

And he's like Oh what's up Luis And they decide to raise the truck it's an obias versus the porch and louise floors it and after he floors it the knocking goes away just never came back and the motor just runs fine so he just came up on like the cheapest Porsche do you have a video of this yeah yeah bro it's all over like can you pull it up on the formula bean youtube again it has to be on there like that's crazy yeah and uh the the only thing other than that i think was like the wheel alignment or like it was like shaky or whatever but i think the uh

I think what he said, what it was, was the tires had been sitting for so long that they kind of like... Oh, you're probably scary. Yeah, so you shouldn't drive on old tires, man. Yeah, we just switched them out. It's like, fucking no problem. Look. And that is, race a car. Oh, it's a Kaman.

After the race, it stopped making the noises. Let's change the oil and see what we fight. Well, there's really two things. That's after the paint job. I put some fresh gasoline in the car and the race. I mean, if I was going to replace the engine, why not just race it? if it blows up it blows up but ironically the opposite happened the old owner warned me that the engine needed to be replaced and i think you can get a pretty good idea on the health of the

engine by doing an oil change one it looks disgusting but let's see if we see any metal shavings in there taking apart the old filter i notice a lot of sludge but using a magnet i don't find any metal shavings all right let's go magnet fishing next up let's check the oil this dude's really smart He was an engineer for Lockheed Martin, and I convinced him to quit his job. Really? Yeah, so maybe he's not that smart if he let me convince him to quit, but... This sounds more fun. Yeah.

So what was that noise? Because of the condition of the oil, I'm thinking some sludge, got stuck where it wasn't supposed to. Maybe it was a lifter tick, and when I finally drove it hard, it blew out the sludge. Or maybe it was something in the clutch. All right, guys, let's see how it runs. How much he paid for this? But now it was... Like 3,600 bucks.

Oh, that's insane. That's crazy, right. What a great deal. And that's a great balanced car. The Caymans? Yeah. These are super, super well-balanced. It drives really good.

That's his daily driver now. Oh, that's dope. That dude only buys cars if they, like, suck. Like, he wouldn't... Like, you won't catch him buying something from a dealership. He's never bought something from a dealership. He just likes to fix them? Yeah.

The dude's fucking crazy smart. So I met him through our other content creator friend. There's a dude named Poppy. fucking hilarious dude even funnier in real life um we have the same media manager so anytime poppy co wants to come to my shows you know my manager will just get them tickets and i'm performing in dallas one day and poppy co shows up with our other buddy ivan and with this dude and he's like hey these are my buddies are also content creators you know they met like at a ticot convention or something i don't know where was content creators hang out and uh first thing he tells me he's like

man let's swap your skyline i heard you got a skyline and those are like his favorite cars my favorite cars i was like fuck no i would never do that he's like well if you ever wanted to do anything you just let me know so i told them i had bought an r32 gtr and i wanted to do work to it but i was like i want to do it i want to i want to learn how to fuck with it you know what i mean i was like can you teach me whatever you want to teach me he's like all right well i'll go over like on such a day because it was a coincidence that we both live in dfW so he comes over over the house one day and we started like I think the first thing we did was maybe changed the exhaust on my skyline or maybe it was a suspension of my Impala I

remember one of those things and I was like well what are you gonna charge me he's like nah man I don't care he's like it's just fun you know make some content from it like never charged we just kept hanging out and now we've done I don't know how many fucking projects together we went ahead and just started the channel together how far in did you get him to quit his job I think like a year into knowing him. I tried after like a week of knowing him, but he's like, I don't know, man. He's like, he grew up

very like, you know, you get a job, you keep your job security. Like, he grew up under that. Most people. Yeah. And so you're a comedian. You're like, fuck it. Yeah, I'm like, bro. Burn it down. Chase your fucking dreams. Fuck a job. There's so many jobs out there. Like, they're always going to be there. But he

he said even before being a content creator, he thought that was like impossible he's like nah like that'll never work and then you know just went for it and saw other of his friends I think like Ivan

our barber buddy go for it and it like just started working I think he made a video I think during COVID was when he started getting a lot of following he made a I don't know what he made a video

of me so he just kept at it but to actually quit his job was like the next step that's great man look those things are super popular and there's a real market for them. I know because I watch them all the time. I watch shows all the time online. Do you know about stance elements? I don't think so. Okay, there's a great channel you should

follow called stance elements. This dude is building a Ferrari F40. Building it. So what he did was he bought all the parts that you could buy online for a Ferrari F40. He bought quarter panels, he bought roof panels, he bought front fenders, hood, all that you guys. Yo, Ferrari doesn't like that shit, though, right? They hate it. Fuck them. He's fabricated the entire frame. He built the frame.

He built the interior roll cage. He made it dope as fuck, man. He made it like, and he's in the middle of this project. This project is probably going to, that's not an F40. That's a 308. That's a very cool car too, though. So he got an engine from an even more powerful Ferrari. So we got a crate engine that he installed into this thing.

see him in scoot ahead this is like he's just talking about different projects he did that was his original m5 which is another great car so look fabricated this entire frame they did all this and they you know like he meticulously measured and matched and then tig welded all this stuff together and this is what he's putting together he's making this car so it's going to be like his version of a Ferrari f40 but it's pretty sick it's going to cost him fucking shitload of money, man. That's so sick, though. Oh, yeah, like, he's pretty far ahead past this. Now, that's what it's going to look like ultimately at the end, which is going to be nuts.

Gas Monkey did that, too, and I think the story with that was, like, Ferrari did everything they could to try to stop them from getting parts. Oh, yeah. I think he got all the parts before they knew what was going on. Now, now for the next guy who wants to do one of these, Ferrari's going to be like, oh, yeah. If anybody's ordering a bunch of parts, it's like crazy, they're probably going to be like, hold on, this is suspicious.

If Ferrari catches you repainting your car, like a crazy color, you're fucked. They'll sue you. Yeah? Yeah, they go crazy. Didn't they go after that designer? What is his name, Philip Plean? Is that his name? He had like a green Ferrari, like a crazy metallic green that he must have either put a rap on it or changed the paint.

But he was doing all this promo stuff with his Ferrari and they sued him. Wow. Yeah, that's the car Ferrari wins legal case Against designer Philip Plin Use of Supercars But he says it's not over Look at the color on that thing

So that means like he bought it from Ferrari And must have signed something right That's like I guess I agree not to Look at this It said he's been ordered to pay Ferrari $352,000 in compensation

To the Italian car manufacturer The case relates to a spring 2018 runway show That Pline held in Malayette Lawn in June of 2017. During this event, Plean featured a host of exotics, including Ferrari's, Lamborghinis, and McLarence, and Ferrari was none too pleased with this. They took issue with Plean's social media posts, claiming that by posting photos of his fashion collection with Ferraris, Plain was unlawfully appropriating the goodwill attached to its trademarks to promote his own brand and products. It added that Plean's post tarnish the reputation of Ferrari.

What reputation? Coked up dudes in Miami? What do you talk? What the fuck are you talking about? What reputation? That's crazy. That's a lot of money. He has to pay them $352,000 in compensation and reimburse attorney's fees to the tune of over $29,000.

He has to pay them the attorney fee? Yeah. In order to remove any images from his website and social media platforms that show any Ferrari model. Moreover, the court said that have pleading, am I saying his name? right pline plean refuses to delete a post depicting a Ferrari or shares a new one he will have to pay a fee of 10,000 pounds is that pounds or is that euros what's that euros for each image or video that's crazy dude that sucks oh shortly after the decision was made he went to Instagram and promptly shared an image of his bright

green 812 super fast claiming that he will appeal the ruling that seems crazy that all he did was show his stuff with ferrari's like what about rappers can they not use a Ferrari if they're doing a music video like if you got if you're a rapper and you bought a dope car and you want to have your dope car in your music video does Ferrari fucking sue you yeah yeah I'm trying to think back now have I even seen like how many Ferraris have I seen in music videos I mean you always see like cool cars Lambo doors especially old ones you go back to like old rap videos but like an actual Ferrari. That's a good question. Dead mouse. Oh, he got in trouble too, right? Because he had a rap on his. They sued him as well, right?

I got to find me a Ferrari, but not from Ferrari. Like, I got to find it on Facebook Marketplace, like my friend with the Porsche. See, that's what it hit the back of his car. Look at that color. Isn't that a dope color? It is. I love that color. That is the same color.

It's a similar color rather to what Corvette has. Corvette has a new one called Roswell. green for their ZR1. Look, sick. He says, Ferrari says he was using the vehicle to add value to his products and elevate his status as a designer. Okay. On the surface, this seems petty, but it dig a little closer, and you'll find you agree with

Ferrari. No, I won't. Tell me what I agree with, bitch. German fashion designer was not only taking pictures with scantily clad women washing the Ferrari, he had also been known to employ the likes of Chris Brown and Takeshi. 6-9 in his fashion shows two men with a history of perpetrating sexual assault and other unsavory acts okay that that's not a hundred percent fair though because did chris brown commit sexual assault i thought it was just you know domestic violence domestic violence yeah he didn't rape nobody

i don't think so i think they're just i don't know what happened with tikeshi 69 either i don't know that story at all i know he's a rat um so what about the miami What does it say? That'd be hilarious if the article was like. Yeah, and you associated with a snitch. You know what's crazy is like those are really expensive. Oh, look at that. The Miami Vice one, a Corvette-based Daytona kit was used.

Once Ferrari got winded, it took action. Oh, interesting. But it says Ferrari was so much more fun in the 1980s, and instead of just asking the producers of the show to take badges off or stop using the vehicle, they asked for the Daytona to be blown up on screen. The moment ended up to be one of the most pivotal moments of the series in a great spectacle. The brand was even a good sport about the whole thing and offered the show a real Ferrari Testerosa.

The brand's flagship at the time could be used for the remainder of the series. So yeah, Miami Vice was known for that Testerosa, that white Testerosa that Don Johnson used to drive around in. So this Ferrari was cool back then. They said, you're just a real car, bro. I only know about that Ferrari because of the Wolf of Wall Street. Was it the intro? He's like, no, no, my Ferrari was white. like Don Johnson's on the Miami Vice.

Yeah, I don't like the Testeroses. I have a friend, my friend Dana White from the UFC, he has a Testerosa. I think they look like trash. The Testerosis? Yeah, I just think it's a crappy looking car. I think that's not interested in it. I mean, I'm sure it's fun to drive.

But for some people, that was their car when they were a kid. That was the car that they wanted. For me, it was always Porsches. Porsches and muscle cars. Those are the cars that I wanted when I was a kid. those Porsche's like the turbo with the fat ass oh yeah like Google Google

1985 9-11 turbo this was when I was a senior in high school that was the first thing I liked about the Porsche's the fat asses because you stare at them and like I was saying like you get into balance when I look at that I'm like look at that thing I think would never flip over but then you can go with the BBL version of it

which is that that dude in Japan who makes those wide body ones yeah everybody was flaming them when When he was gluing the parts on it. Look at that sexy. Yeah. When I was a kid, 9-11 turbo, look how sexy that is. a dude at a gas station that I worked at. He pulled in with a Porsche. It was the first time I ever saw one up close. I was like, holy shit, look at this thing. It was just like that. It was a white one. I'd like to have one of those one day. Yeah. They're cool. And again, that car, you'll feel everything.

you feel everything man it's like they're so mechanical you just it's just a sensory overload so it's more fun even if you're not driving fast like my Tesla is fun but one of the reasons why it's fun because it's preposterous it goes zero to 60 in 1.9 seconds it's just silent it's just gone I don't like the light turns green it's gone it just it just it just it just it just takes off but you have more fun in a light car like that going slower. You don't even have to speed. It's the feeling of driving, running through the gears.

Ferrari has not sued owners solely for changing the pink color or applying a wrap. However, Ferrari has taken legal action against owners who have significantly altered the car's appearance, especially when it involves modifying or replacing the Ferrari logo or when the car is used in ways to damage the brand's reputation. So that's what Ferrari was saying I don't know how many times I mean it's only been a couple times And I won't say who

Because now I don't want to get them in trouble But I've seen cars Ferraris That have been modified And the logo is the horse But with like a giant boner Where have you seen that? I can't tell you now

I don't want them to get sued man All right don't tell me But yeah It's kind of stupid though That a car company could think that it could stop you from altering things because like think about like the GTRs that we were talking about

like a big part of the whole community and the culture is the altering of those cars yeah the big part is the modifying yeah I think that's part of what got them so popular is that they were so easily tunable and you know yeah it's a big part of it and the same thing with Porsches I mean there's so many

outlaw Porsches out there where people take Porsches and change all kinds of things on them and like that gentleman what is his name again that does the raw welt Porsches. I don't know his name but he wears the sandals

and he's sold the cigarettes all the time. Yeah, that guy's fascinating because he does everything by hand. Yeah. He makes all those wide body Porsches by hand and like those are... There's like a weightless, right?

To get him to fuck with your Porsche? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He just comes to your shop. He'll travel with fucking cartons of cigarettes. I think he drinks Coca-Cola just fucking... That's it, man.

Carves it up. And, you know... I like his style. They're dope. It's a very, like, grandma style, just Coca-Cola and cigarettes. I feel like that's shit that my grandma would send me to the store for. Flip-flops. He's just out there smoking cigarettes and working on the car.

But that style of car, that wide-body style is, like, very controversial. Some people think it's gross. Like, what have you done to a Porsche? You've cut up one of the great pieces of engineering and designed, and you've turned it into this fat hooker. That's one thing that I, like, didn't. That's one thing that kept me from, like, in Portia. for so long was that like Porsche owners were very anal about stuff like that yeah well Porsche less less Porsche than Ferrari like for Ferrari it's like you know it's a sacrilege to do

that but that does look pretty fucking that looks sick that looks pretty goddamn dope and there's giant ass wheels and tires they have on those things the grip must be sensational I love that thing I would I would do that if I own the Porsche I would call that dude I'd be like hey do this stuff man Look at that. Look what he did to a, that's the first or the last of the air-cooled cars, I think. Hey, Louise, we got a call the dude to work on your porch. That actually might be a 997. I think that is a 997.

So that's a watercooled car. Look at the wide body on that motherfucker. Ooh, that looks good. That looks good. What is his name again, Jamie? Akira Nakai. That's right. Yeah.

Akira, like the movie. Yeah, so that guy's got a whole cult following. and they do a lot of L.S. swaps in those cars, too. Redledge Wood had one of those. He had one. That was L.S. swapped. They put those motors into, like, what is it, the Beatles sometimes, too, right? The Volkswagen? Yeah. The old ones? Oh, they're sick. You can put an L.S. in anything. They're bulletproof. Such a good engine. Oh, and I'll talk about the Porsche engines. I think they fit in them.

Oh, they definitely do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of people have done that. Yeah. They put them in VW buses. I wonder if that makes Porsche people mad. I think the Porsche people are just a little more chill about that stuff. They're not going to sue you. The Ferrari thing is weird, because I think that's the only company that does that. That goes after people for doing stuff to their vehicles. That would be hilarious if, like, Ford or Chevy started doing that. It's like, you can't change your Ford Fiesta like that.

Bro, you talk about lawsuits. How many fucking lawsuits would they have? I mean, how many people have altered Mustangs? You know, come on. I like the Mustangs. I feel kind of bad that they got that reputation for, always hitting people at car meets and stuff and sliding out of control do they i think it's a ford thing though what do you mean like uh so like on memes and stuff the mustangs are infamous for like when

they do little burnouts or when they just do a little fish tail they end up going out of control and like hitting people on curbs so that's the driver bro they get made fun of a lot they're like oh it's always in a musting but i think it's i think it's a fourth thing i think ford a lot of their cars have delays no yeah no no no no No, no, no, that's not what that's about. But I think, I mean, yeah, it's a driver. For sure, it's a driver thing, but I think it's partly because they're not used to the delay. What delay are you talking about?

I think, like, and I might be wrong. Maybe it's just me. I have a Mustang, I should just say. I have a new Mustang. But I have a super snake. Okay, so I don't know, how new is it? Like, brand new? Brand new.

All right, so I don't know about brand new, but maybe still. Get in your Mustang and floor it and count how long it takes before it. like takes off or try to time it might be like half a second and count how long it takes for the like when you let off the throttle how long like try to feel it how long it takes for it to actually the motor to stop receiving the gas like it's it's like about a half a second or a second longer than most cars what i swear to god find out if that's a thing it's a delay i've never heard of that before yeah especially even in a truck i was driving a f-150 It has a 5-0.

It's a single cap. Those things are fucking sick. They're like the best trucks out there right now. Delay after Floyd. This is an F-150, 5-liter. When I punch it, there seems to be about a two-second or less delay on the initial pickup. That's something wrong with this car. So I don't know if it's only the truck or if it's fours.

Try it. Try it out. No. Mine has no delay. No? It has no delay. No. So I was thinking maybe that's why some people slide out of control those because they're not used to

delay because like in my truck I don't have that truck anymore but I'd have to kind of count for like all right I'm going to floor it and then and then but also when I take my foot off like I need to take it off a little earlier than I normally would depending on what I'm doing I feel like that your car was not tuned in correctly I feel like your car you could probably you could probably fix it with a tune but that's how they come out the factory not mine man I have let's put it to the test I have a raptor and and I also have a Mustang and neither one of them has any problems like that. They're immediate response.

Try it. Compare them to your other cars. Pull out the GTR. Pull out the Tesla. The Tesla's very different than all of them because it's instantaneous. It's no gears. It's one gear. It's fucking preposterously fast.

But the Mustangs don't have that. I think it's a bad driver. Yeah? Yeah. The Mustangs are just, you know, it's like. You got to try it, man. It's not an expensive car. It's a delay.

It's turbocharged. It's a different thing. Okay. The Mustangs are. are five liters. So it's a V8. It's the Coyote engine. Every car reacts a little different to, like, when you floor it. Like, the reaction time is different.

Maybe Ford's is just the slow. You're just hanging on to this reaction type thing. I don't know, man. Is there anything in there about delay and the throttle on Mustangs? One of the person that they personally bought? One person. But, yeah, I'm not seeing like that. Yeah, I don't think it's a thing.

I'm collecting data. I'm not trying to hit on Mustangs. I'm trying to collect data. I don't think you're collecting data. I think you're talking about anecdotal experiences from cars that weren't tuned in correctly. I want you to floor that Mustang, your Super Snake, and then tell me what the time was. I just floor that thing all the time.

But mine's not a normal one. It's a Shelby. Okay. So Shelby, North America, they take a regular Mustang. I still want the data, Joe. I want you to floor it and give me the data. Yeah. Give me the, get that, what is it?

What do they call them? The trackies? Or they track everything for you. It's like an app. Oh, okay. And you put this little thing in your cup holder and you floor it. 2005 to 9 pole on a thread here do I have throttle lag and some people do some lag you know these are older mustangs yeah but these are older ones they're probably out of tune they're probably a bad fuel injection something's wrong big's coming up with like a yeah I'm just trying to collect data all right just like you do and you have all these experts come on you keep saying they're like you're a side I'm not a scientist.

I love that you're doing that car channel, though. That's pretty cool. I love cars, man. I love watching people fix them and work on them and modify them. Oh, it's so fun. I mean, it might be like 20% of the content that I watch is like car stuff. I just love it. I love when people are really passionate about something, you know, when they work on things.

Whenever I get interested in something, I like to really dig into it and learn about it. It's just so rare when I find something. that I'm genuinely interested in. Yeah. But that's the problem I was telling you is that, like, now I'm just hyper-focused on this, and I haven't written a new joke in, like, I don't know how long. Do you sit down right, or do you try to, like, let ideas come to you? How do you do it?

I mean, like, both. I try to let ideas come to me, so I don't force something, but once I have the idea, then I try to, like, write it out or, like, and I wrote last night and the night before, just because I'm like, bro, I have to write something. down just to see if I can like squeeze something out but lately like the shows I've been doing and it's and it's worked for the most part lately I just kind of go up there with half ideas and then like sketch them out on stage so you're trying to work on new material that way yeah yeah that's a great way to work on new material because you put yourself under

pressure yeah yeah and and it feels more like a conversation with the crowd sometimes because sometimes I'll just straight up till the crowd like you know what do you guys want to talk about because I'm out of ideas. And it might turn into a lot of crowd work, which is also fun too, at least for me. I know some people don't like it. But I don't know. I'm in a weird place creatively with comedy.

I feel like anything I try to think of is just not going to be funny. Have you been working too much? Maybe. That might be too. Are you nonstop? Or do you take weeks off every now and then? I've been pretty nonstop up until now.

I was nonstop for a long time. And then one time I decided to take a few weeks off. And I think I wound up taking a month off or I didn't do any sets for a month. It was weird. I'd never done that before. The only other time I did that was I had surgery on my knee. I took two weeks off. Then I went on stage with crutches after that.

And then during COVID, during COVID, I did new standout for a long time. But I found out that when I took a month off, like, I had a chance to actually think about what's interesting to me instead of just doing jokes that I thought worked. you know so i had no pressure to do a show i didn't have any shows scheduled so i said let me just like think about life let me think about what's interesting to me let me think about what's bothering me let me think about what's exciting to me when we think about what's possible think about things i'm interested in and just start writing down subjects so for a full month i didn't do any performing i just collected ideas and i didn't think of it in terms of like i'm under the gun i have to get X amount of ideas.

I just thought about it like every day I'm going to spend just a certain amount of time either in front of the computer or looking at my phone, just working on ideas, just finding shit that's interesting. And then I had a folder that I'd put all these ideas in and then I'd sit down and look at these photos like, no, no, huh, maybe that. And then I'll write something about it, just a little bit, just write down, like what's weird about it, what bothers me about it. and then go back to it the next day and expand on it

and maybe smoke or let it read and fucking think about it and go, what is, what would life be like if no one figured out the wheel? What would life be, you know, what would life be like if no one ever invested any time into figuring out on antibiotics? You know, like, and then you just go on a rant. Go on a rant. Write things down and then write it, I write an essay form. So I don't try to write like in joke form.

I write about a subject. Like, what is about the subject that's interesting to me? I look at it a bunch of different angles. And then usually when I do that, there's like a thing in there that's funny. One thing. I could just pull that thing out and then figure out how do I deliver that one thing. Oh, I get you. Yeah, so instead of just, like, always thinking about, like, what can I talk about on stage?

What are the jokes? Think about, like, what interests you? And if you feel like you're burnt out, do you have show scheduled nonstop from now on? No. So my next tour starts in September, and some people were kind of upset with me because it's like a seven, eight show tour over like four months. Why are they upset? Because they're like, hey, it's not a tour. It's like a pit stop.

Oh, the thing and you're lazy. Yeah. And people are like, why did you come to this city? Why is it like these seven cities? But I'm like, I don't know. It just worked out that way, man. I want fucking time off too, you know? You got to not listen to people.

Do what you want to do. Don't listen to anybody. I feel like I'm on I feel like I'm barely getting to that point where I like I can finally Not that I'm like Okay finally I'm here at this point I feel like

It's like one step at a time We're like all right I can care a little bit less now about this And like with time I can care a little bit less about that or whatever It's still tough I also don't I think one of the toxic things

That it could be like a double-edged sword It's like how much people let you do and help you do things. Like if I told my manager right now that I wanted to write a play, like the man is going to help me write a play. But I don't know how to write a play. Like I shouldn't be writing plays. And I feel like that's bad. It's how much people let me do things.

I think sometime this week, maybe next week, as part of the press tour, I'm going on some Spanish shows. My Spanish is not that great. Like I should not be allowed to be on Spanish TV. How bad is it? It's like if you're, if your first language is Spanish and you hear mine, you're just like, that guy learned this later on. Like he learned it as a kid maybe, but it's not great. Right.

It's like I can have a conversation. I can communicate with whoever, but it's not good enough to be on TV. Right. And I think it's crazy that there's not even like a check. Like there's no test. Like I thought at some point they'd interview me and just be like, do you know what this means? Do you know how to say this, say that? Like, no, they're just like.

Well, they're just like. Well, they trust in you. You say you can speak Spanish. That's crazy the trust they put in. Because it only backfire. I mean, yeah, it could backfire on my agent, my manager, whatever. They're going to be like, hey, you've out for this guy, sure. But it's going to backfire on me more than anybody.

Well, you could always have someone come on that's fluent that could help you. That's true. Like when I had Yoel Romero on the podcast, Joey Diaz translated for Yoel. Yoel's from Cuba. Joey's from Cuba. So Joey would just, you listen to Yoel and translate. And then occasionally, Yoel would say things in English. English because his English is okay.

Yeah, my game plan is just to like be straightforward with it. Yeah. And just be like, look, before we go deeper into this, just no, I might fuck up here or there. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just say that. Yeah. But that does happen in the Mexican community, though, right? They get a little mad if you can't speak Spanish.

Oh, bro, they hate you. It's crazy. But fuck it. I just think that's just the funny kind of dubboards sort about like the entertainment industry, though. Like, people will give you the tools to, like, try whatever you want to do next. But why do you think that's bad?

Because sometimes, I think it's bad because you can set yourself up for failure of humiliation. Like, uh... Or success. Or success. True. But that's why it's a double-ed sword. Do you, do you ever watch that movie Top Five? Chris Rock's movie, Top Five? No.

I saw that movie in the theaters when I was like 18 maybe. What's it about? So he's basically like playing himself. It's about a stand-up comedian who I think he's, if I remember correctly, I think he's getting upset because people don't take him seriously as he directed a movie and acted in a movie and people are kind of trashed in the movie and he's just like, what the fuck? Why don't people see I'm more than just a comedian, you know? And I think towards the end of the movie, he ends up getting arrested and he's in like

the city jail and across from him is DMM. Like as DMX. He's doing a cameo. And DMX is like, yeah, I know what you mean. Like, nobody understands. Like, I don't always want to rap. I want to sing too. And DMX starts singing some song. But it sounds horrible to DMX's voice. And so the lesson there is like kind of like know your space. You know what you're lane. You know what you're lane. Yeah. So I think that's the dangerous part is sometimes you might lose sight of what your lane is. And you can go into what you venture out, which is cool. It's fun. You know, creating. But then it's like, hey, you might fucking, imagine if somebody gave DMX like a tour where he was just singing fucking country songs or something. Like it would be entertaining, but it wouldn't be great, you know what I mean? Right, but if he could do it, you got to give him a chance to possibly pull it off. That's true. A lot of people have done that. Like Post Malone's got a whole country tour.

That's true. And I went to see it. It was great. But that is a very talented man. I don't tell what anybody says. Very talented man. So it's like you have to know how seriously. to take yourself too well

sort of or you have to not think about it like he's like a guy he kinds of stays toasty he keeps rolling I don't think he ponders it too much I think he does what he wants to do yeah but like me I know myself well enough to know like I'm no Pulse Malone

I'm not starting a car channel out of like I'm gonna be the next fucking top gear yeah but you're starting it because you're interested in cars which is a good reason to start it yeah but I also know myself enough to know that like yeah I'm just kind of like I'm keeping it goofy. I'm keeping it light. Yeah. I'm not, I'm not necessarily like, I don't know how to explain it too well. I'm just trying to make sure that I don't end up being DMX in that jail cell. Do you worry about that? Is that something that you worry about

fucking up? Sometimes, to a degree, I think I know myself well enough to know like, like I'm trying to act. I've been doing auditions and stuff. And I think that like, I have a pretty good gauge of like if I landed a role and I heard like the the feedback on it, I think I'd know like, all right, that's like when it's valid and when it's not. You know what I mean? But my biggest fear is that like what if what if I did get like such a huge ego that I'm like, oh, these idiots don't know what they're talking about?

Like I'm so talented. Like that's, I feel like that's scary. That's a scary part of the entertainment industry is like. when when you believe the wrong stuff or i feel like you shouldn't believe any of it right like they say the good comments and the bad comments are none of them are true well none of them are going to help you you should figure out who you are yeah but the thing about what you're saying that's that rings really true is that a lot of people grossly overestimate what they're capable of doing or how good they're doing something and a lot of that is if you get famous then you have a

bunch of yes men around you and a bunch of people kissing your ass and the stuff that you're putting out is it's not the best it's not what you're capable of you have to know how to like told the line between like confidence and just like cockiness most great people that I know kind of hate what they do not not hate what they do and that they don't love it but they they're very self-critical I think it's one of the ways that allows you to objectively analyze what you're doing and you have to like make this battle but you don't want to kill you your own confidence, but you don't want to be overconfident, and you kind of have to be hypercritical about your own work, because if you don't, you're never going to get it to where it needs to be,

but then you also have to realize at one point in time you're too close to it to see it the way other people are going to see it. If I'm working on a bit for like three or four months, right, and it's frustrating and I'm twisting it around, I'm adding to it and subtracting and I'm trying to make it right. Like sometimes you're so close to it that you don't even know that it's funny anymore and you don't want to lose that enthusiasm for the bit either so there's this balancing act for like paying so much attention to it that you hate it but then falling in love with the idea again before you do it on stage portraying is as if it was new yeah treating you that's yeah that's that's hard for people that's that's the dance because the worst thing is seeing a comic on stage this bored

with doing stand-up. Yeah. Oh, my God. You know, where people, seeing people complain before they go up, I can't believe we have to do a second show tonight. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? You could be working in a bakery somewhere in front of a fucking hot oven, sweating your dick off.

You could be a logger. Yeah, you could be a logger, getting abducted by aliens. You could be doing some terrible fucking job that sucks. Instead, you have literally the greatest job in the world, and you're complaining you have to do it again. You've got to reset your brain. Reset your approach. and treat it like you love it again.

For anybody who's been to my shows and has not liked the crowdwork, I'm sorry for that, but I'm having fun with it. And I think the majority of the audience is having fun with it, especially the ones that I'm fucking with that are like talking to, you know?

Do people complain that you're doing crowdwork? I've had a couple messages over the summer where they're just like, hey, man, you did a few jokes and then you just were talking to the crowd the whole time. It's like, but the thing is that it's fun. And I don't want to complain about my job because it's either that or you watch me open mic it or do rehearsed jokes

and it's true you can tell when a comedian's not enjoying their job and you hear comedians talk about it they're like oh man I was doing that joke and then one day it just stopped working and it's like yeah because people probably can tell where you're you're just not feeling it anymore exactly you're not forcing you're forcing the joke maybe right and I don't want to go up there and force jokes and I don't want to complain about my job because my job is fun like i'm beyond blessed to have this fucking job but it's fun if like i feel like comedy works when you're present in the moment yeah you know what i mean if i go up there i try to force something and i'm just like nah like i'm the same old ral from six years ago let me do the same old jokes you know what i like people are going to tell yeah i mean so like

right now i'm having a lot of not that i'm gonna keep just only doing crowd work but i i i would do very minimal crowdwork before like I'd go on stage and I might do like fucking five minutes tops whereas now I might do like 20 30 minutes of it but but if it's fun it's fun like it's like with the portion and the dude who was a Japanese dude who's like shaping them up like people might get mad but like if it's cool it's cool I feel like comedy's like that too if you're having fun that's what's important as long as the audience is laughing if some people aren't enjoying it well they won't go to see you again that too and it's not like I'm going up there and like

fucking like I'm having fun but 90% of the audience is like this is horrible like nah like I'm pretty they're laughing you know what I mean I just do feel a little bit of like

damn some people don't like crowd work some people don't yeah some people just want to hear jokes if I have a hundred people at my show and like three of them don't like it though that does fuck with me I'm just like those are the ones that are going to comment too yeah the ones that don't like it are more likely to comment

I let them down well you can't really listen you got to know right everyone has to know and the worst thing is when you don't know like if you have a bad show and you think it was good we've all known guys like that especially in the beginning they thought they did well you like probably kill myself I had that's that that's ridiculous yeah like you think that was good it's terrible it's just people get delusional that's a fact but you know you just got to be able to self-assess yeah you know and if you're self-assessing

you can't read the comments because it's just going to get in your head and it's It's going to distract you from thinking about new things. The amount of attention that you spend paying attention to other people's opinions is attention that you could be spending and proving what you're doing. As long as you're aware of what's good and what's not good. But sometimes you do get too close to it. Sometimes you need friends to help you out. You know, sometimes you need...

That's one of the great things about having a club like the mothership or the comedy store with a bunch of comics around. You could say, I got this bit and it's fucking I'm stuck. I'm stuck with this. And then some will say, do you still do it when you say this? And you go, no, I don't do that anymore. That was a big part of it, man. You got to say that.

I'm like, you think? I thought I could edit that out. Like, no, no, no. That makes it better because it sets it up for later. Like, oh, and then you go out and try it that way. And you're like, oh, shit, he was right. Yeah. Like, sometimes you need your friends around you to tell you.

Like, oh, you know, maybe you're doing that bit. You're doing it in a different way than you used to do it. Or what if you added this? Or have you ever thought about it from this perspective? Like, imagine the person that's saying that. What are they thinking? They're saying something crazy. What are they thinking?

Like, oh, yeah, I never thought of that way. And then you have a whole new element of the bit. I was touring with my buddy, Renee Vaca. He's very funny. He's big into crowd work. But I feel like touring with him helped me work out a few bits. Oh, yeah? Yeah, because I was like, man, I was worried that I'd go out there and, like, not be able to keep up.

You know, you want to be as funny as the funniest person on the show. So I was like, what if I go out there and, like, this fucking crowd hates me? And they, like, they would, but I was like, I'm going to just do what I do. and people like him or like on his team who don't see me perform every weekend are gonna talk about the parts of my set that stood out the most like the best and the worst

they will they'll have to like you walk off stage you're gonna be like hey why'd you say that they're gonna make fun of me if I fucking bombed or if I kill they're gonna be like hey that was funny you know what I'm gonna just do the fucking set and they'll give me notes like without me asking like I'm sure they will

and I felt like it worked stuff that I was in my my head like, is this working? Is this force? Like, I don't know. I'd walk off stage and Renee would be like, why don't fucking say that? That was fucking weird. And I'd be like, nah, he's right. He's right. And then it's like helped shape the bit over months, you know? Yeah, for sure. Having people that you get bounce ideas off, it's huge. It's huge. And having comics that pay attention to your set and give you notes. I mean, Chris Rock used to hire guys just to watch his set. He'd hire a team of comics to sit in the back and he would do a set at the

comedy store and then they would meet up and go over the material yeah so they would have notes they'd all say you know I liked how you did this I liked how you did that I felt like this one was like you were a little less animated this time and the last set you're like a little more aggravated about it I think it made the bit better you ever tried that no no no I haven't done I mean I've got definitely got notes from friends before you know and which is great like when someone sit back and give you some tag lines and shit that's pretty dope I love when people do that. But what Chris did was pretty intelligent, very intelligent. But he got a lot of shit for it because people were like, oh, he hires writers. I'm like, I don't think that's what he's doing. It's

not like they're writing his set. He's, he's writing his set, and then he's bouncing it off some of the best writers in comedy. Oh, yeah. You know, which I think is a really good way. He used to do it with Richard Jenny, when some of his best stuff, if you go back to what I believe is his best specials. His early specials are fucking incredible. And, you know, a lot of that was him working with Richard Jenny in that capacity. Hey, like when he did that bit, I think it's like a legendary bit.

Chris Rock Bullets. Bullets should cost five grand. He's like there'll be no more innocent bystanders. That's fucking hilarious. He's got a lot of great ones. You know, you know, you're here one of those bits where you're like, I wish I would have thought of that. Oh, yeah. One of those

bits is one of my favorite all-time jokes. You're here, Louis when he talks about like he's afraid of new places like that's that's his biggest fear of hell is that he just won't know how things work down there no ever during that bit it's like something about like uh he's like what if you're walking through hell and then like some demon comes out of a hallway and he's like he's like makes you suck his dick's like oh suck my dick and then he's like how do you even know when a demon comes like he's like then he comes like fire ants all over you and then he leaves you know and then like some other demon comes and he's like hey man he's like

you didn't have to suck that guy's dick like this is hell he's like he's just some demon he's like you better pace yourself you're here for eternity you know like that's a joke i'm like bro i wish i would have thought of that like it's just right there like that sounds like a louis zike joke yeah that dude that dude's fucking genius that dude's yeah he gave me a bunch of great tag lines once at the improv yeah sat and watched my set and had a bunch of fun lines yeah that's fun to do i like well louis did that a lot with chris as well he did that with chris rock they're like in the same class or whatever well uh you know know they all were doing it together in new york at the same time yeah hey do you ever act like

not anymore no no no i stopped doing that a while ago i don't like doing it you didn't like it i'm too busy i'm too busy and it's not what i mean i i didn't mind doing it but it's not the butterfly you want to chase no you can't chase all the butterflies no it's like it's too time consuming you know if you're acting you're on set all day long you might work six days a week 15 hours a day it's a lot especially if you're doing a film i didn't think about that i did a commercial for verizon in spanish oh yeah big thing again they should have checked my spanish first that's on them but yeah did people complain about your spay no dude you have no idea they made me talk to a dialect coach because they didn't have a problem with like like it wasn't a it wasn't an issue of like

oh he doesn't know how to say this word or that word no it was like it's fine it was my accent They said I spoke a northern Spanish, which is, I mean, yeah, my family is from, like, the northern part of Mexico. But apparently, I didn't know, like, I don't know. My Spanish isn't well enough to, like, depict accents from different parts of Mexico. Right. But I guess it's the Mexican version of, like, country. Oh, Syrily or Southern. Yeah, but over there, it's northern.

Yeah. And they don't like that. They said they wanted it to be a more neutral Spanish, that they want me to sound like I'm from like a city, like a big, like Mexico City or some shit. So like I had to read, we filmed like all day, right, the commercial, then there's no talking because the dialogue is all like in my mind. Oh, I see.

And so at the end of the day, they had me like record the lines into a microphone. And I'm just like, all right, easy money. So what was the difference in the way you had to pronounce the words? So can you give me an example? Yeah, like, apparently the way I talk, I like, I had to say the words with no

like I had to say I'm like how do I explain like just straighter like I don't know man it's like basic Give me an example of the words Like I had to Like I had to say like I had to say like

Nowrake I'm with Verizon But I can't like It's like if you took a dude from like The fucking country like Alabama And you were like You have to talk like if you were just from fucking I don't know Northern California, like, or where is it, what's, yeah, Northern California's a good one.

Right? They don't have like a neutral, right? It's like a more neutral. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like, it's kind of tough. Well, it's not tough for people in America because you hear all those accents. Well, for me, it was tough because, like, I don't live in Mexico.

So I'm like, you want me to talk like people I didn't grow up around? Like, I'm talking like all the people I grew up around. So it's like, it was a little foreign to me. You know what I mean? Yeah. I had to re-record my lines back home in Dallas. which wasn't a big deal. I just remember talking to the dialect coach.

It's just like, no, I don't know, say it like this, though. And I'm just like, I feel like I had, I know people say I talk very monotone, like, very late back. But I feel like I had to do that more in Spanish. Like, instead of just saying, like, hey, now can you can't change your plan with Verizon. I have to be like, now I came your plan with rising. Like, I had to talk like the fucking dude at the end of a commercial who's like, subject made very to change. Oh, a fast guy.

Yeah. I could do it, like, fast and, like, no accent. So I couldn't, I feel like I couldn't move my mouth a lot. Like, I had to just, like, whisper it out. And then that's when they finally liked it, which, I mean, they paid me very well. Like, shout out to Verizon. I'm not complaining. I just think it's funny that they were just, like, and they didn't know at first

because it's, like, different types of, like, Latinos working on that commercial. It was like a Puerto Rican dude and Venezuelan dude, you know what I mean? And so you took the Mexicans to recognize the difference in the accent. Yeah, the girl who was, like, the costume, designer or whatever she was just like hey this dude talks country as hell everybody's like what she was like I better not lay him talking like she was cool as hell I loved her but in my mind I was like motherfucker like that's funny they probably would have released that people would have got mad then I don't think so I feel like maybe people from my part of Mexico would have been like

hell yeah right that's us we feel represented right like if you had something in America and you had someone talking a Texas accent no one would care yeah you wouldn't yeah you just be like All right, fuck it. Maybe they just know the Mexican market different, though. Yeah, I guess because they want to make sure they appeal to, like, all sorts of Latinos and, I don't know, maybe a Puerto Rican dude to hear that and be like, the fuck is this goofy as dude saying? Have you ever thought about doing shows in all Spanish? Yeah, I would like to break into that. Tom Seguer has done a bunch of those.

Bro, I saw him in Spanish. He was hilarious. I've never seen Tom perform in English. I've only seen, like, you know, like his specials or, like, on YouTube. But when I saw him in Spanish live, I was like, bro. Oh, he's got fluent Spanish. And most people don't know that, which is funny because he's had people talk shit

in Spanish around him because he looks like a regular white guy. Yeah. He's not. He spent his summers like in Peru or something like that, right? I mean, he's fluent. I mean, he could do shows in Spanish. Yeah, yeah, he told the story about like a German prostitute or something like that. I can't remember the bits.

All I remember was thinking like, man, this dude's like fucking doing master kung fu up there. It is master kung fu if you can kill in two different languages. That's pretty wild. Yeah. It's not a lot of humans. It's like tiger style versus fucking crane or whatever. Right.

Like, what percentage of comics can kill in two languages? It's got to be the smallest percent amount. I mean, it's probably a handful in the whole world. I want to film a special, like, in Japan. But I want to do it like just to fucking, like, troll comics, like in the States. Where, like, I don't want people to know that it wasn't a real special. Like, I want it maybe just a promo for a, special and it's just me in Japan but killing it in front of a Japanese audience but I'm not

speaking Japanese at all like I'm just doing the same English jokes and I want to promote it as if I recorded it over like a Japanese tour and just everybody wondered like what the fuck like was it English speaking Japanese people and we just gave it up already so it's not going to work now I would I'll still fuck with the people who don't listen to your podcast they'll find this they'll find this recording they'll go back and find it he was planning on trolling us

why is that even interesting to you why do you want to do that I just think it's funnier to fuck with people and I just think it would make me laugh to watch like a trailer for a special or I'm just like killing in Japan yeah it's like to people who have no idea

what I'm saying but like I want people to wonder like did they know was there a translator or something like a lot of people in Japan speak English you probably could do shows over there And there's a lot of expats over there. Like, if you wanted to do a show in Japan, you'd probably have a lot of expats and British people.

What is that? Expatts? Ex-people that left America who live in Japan. There's a lot of those. It's really cheap to move to Japan. They're actually encouraging people to move to Japan. I saw a YouTube video on that. This dude, I think he moved from, like, L.A. or somewhere in California.

And for, like, a hundred and ten grand, he got, like, an acre and a half or something like that or more, maybe. Well, Japan has experienced a population collapse. What? Yeah. They're not having kids at a replacement rate. So replacement rate means like if there's two parents, you should have like three or more kids. Like if you're trying to replace the people that are here, when you think about how many people are going to die of old age, how many people are going to die, how many people are going to live, how is the population sustained itself over the course of the next X amount of generations? Well, you have to have a high replacement rate. And right now, Japan is a very low. replacement rate like it's spooky low where the point where they're they're in a panic and they're trying to figure out how to encourage people to move to japan how to get people in japan to have kids oh because there's like um a lot of insults though yeah that's what it is but no but i'm saying it's like they're i mean that's that's got to be kind of scary because if they're not replacing people that means uh like fucking jobs won't get not just jobs they're gonna the country's gonna go

There won't be any people left. What do you mean? I mean, there would just be way less people, but it's not like they're going to disappear. Well, they'll all die off, and if they don't have kids, that's it. I'm worried about, like, who's going to fucking, you know, farm and take care of the animals and shit. Yeah, well, there's going to be less of that, too, but they're probably the people that will have kids is the farmers and the rural people. But what is Japan's replacement rate? It's very low, right, James.

Our replacement rate. We're all right, right? We're knocking, getting knocked up like crazy. A little weird, too. Yeah. Yeah, we're in a weird situation, too. I feel like all my friends knocked up their girlfriends already. Well, that's good.

That's nice. There's a lot of people here, and there's a lot more people aren't having kids than have ever before. It's different. We're not in danger, but, like, South Korea is in danger. Like, South Korea, the replacement rate is really bad. Yeah, I think it's something crazy, like how many people that are alive today will have grandchildren, and it's very small. fuck man yeah but you don't think about it that way because you just look at all the people that are there right now right if you're in japan you see all this traffic like oh their population's

fine if you go to korea look at all the people but the reality is these are people that are alive now because the baby boomers then generation x and then people are still having kids but the amount of people that are having kids right now is lower than it's ever been so how do we fix that it's hard because you're going to have to make people attracted to each other and some people just aren't attractive. Some people put no effort into that. Some people are social outcasts, and they've lived their life that way. So Japan's population is shrinking.

Here's what it means and what some are doing about it. So Japan may have the longest national life expectancy about 85 years and the world's largest city, Tokyo, but the nation's population has been in decline for 15 years. Last year, more than two people died for every baby born, a net loss of almost a million people. and now the island nation is on pace to shrink in half by this century's end. Diminishing population is Japan's most urgent problem, says Taro Kono, long-time, high-ranking

minister of Japan's parliament. Kono nearly elected prime minister in 2021 said he intends to seek the highest office again and believes the country should prioritize combating the population decline. It's a giant issue. There are less and less number of younger generation. All the burdens are on the young generation, and they won't be able to, sustains, so our society is going to be breaking up. Economy is just going to stagnate.

Pretty nuts, man. Japan's military recruited only half the people it needed. There's a labor shortage in every industry, including the government. Bless you. Thank you. Crazy, right? It's crazy that the cure to this is just like, don't pull out. Well, not just don't pull out, but actually raise your children.

Yeah, that too, you know. have a bunch. Yeah, that's why Elon has like 19 kids. He does? He's got a ton of him. But I think you're supposed to take care of the kids. You're supposed to be around them all the time. How are you going to do that if you have 19? Yeah, it's like a little village. Yeah, that's a lot of people. Condo says he's one of thousands of Japanese in monogamous romantic relationships with

fictional characters. What? That's the guy? Who's that? Oh, that's this guy. That guy's in a... Oh, yeah, he looks like he needs to be in a romantic. He married an anime character In a formal ceremony in 2018 Oh Christ

Animates was fucking that up Look at this dude man He's in a monogamous relationship With fictional characters Almost half of Japan's Millennial Singles Age 1834 Self Report as Virgins

What the fuck Compared to barely 20% in the U.S. That's a lot in the U.S. There's 20% 34-year-old virgin that's crazy self-reported right they might be lying lying hos

how many of them are ladies how many of the body count but here's the thing it's like fuck man this sounds like the plot of like a funny movie it's like we gotta make these guys get laid you know

but they're out here fucking getting into relationships with anime characters it's like do we want that guy to have more kids you know what I have kids that's a good point that's a good point and what girl's gonna want to be burdened down with that guy as your provider and also you're going to have to have sex with him like you're not going to be attracted

to that guy you know what Japan should do is they should outsource they got to doing that too yeah yeah they're bringing in a lot of people from other countries they got to bring in people to train these guys oh to train them yeah like I got douchey friends who were like on dating apps and shit and they're fucking they're just

sleazy you know what I mean they're out here trying to go out and dates like every fucking night with girls send these guys over there we pay them a handsome price and we get them to make their, like, hinge profiles for them and just fucking lie. What is this, Jamie? What do you show me? A village in Japan that has a bunch of puppets around.

What? Because of the population decline? Yeah. Oh, God. And they make you feel like they're surrounded by people. I don't know. Oh, my God. To combat its loneliness,

creating color from mannequins resembling their loved ones. What? That's depressing. Mimicking the vibrant life. So they have Dolls everywhere Mimicking the people Because they're in such population decline

There's fucking people in Japan Who hate like tourism M motherfucker you need me out there Yeah Well there's people that were The grandchildren The people that survived the bombs Oh

That wasn't me I was Oppenheimer A bunch of old white dudes You know? Yeah I wasn't there Yeah Come on My grandpa was in Mexico

Doing you know what Creating two families so that we don't have your problems. There you go. I have an uncle that my mom found on Facebook when I was, like, in high school. It's like, you know, one of my grandpas... I know there's, like, a bad way to put it,

and I love my uncle, but he's, like, one of his bastard children, you know what I mean? Yeah. And I just thought, I don't know. It was always hilarious to me that, like, my mom just found this dude and, like, brought him over. And my grandpa was just like,

hey, like, how you been? because my grandpa apparently used to go check up on him from time to time. But it's just so funny to me that my grandpa, like, nothing ever happened. Like, oh, yeah, I didn't tell you guys? Like, those were his vibes, you know what I mean? We all went to a baseball game together. Wow. How weird was that?

I didn't think it was too weird for him. Nah, I thought it was cool. I don't think he, like, needed my grandpa. Like, I think he grew up with, like, a father figure, like a stepdad or something. So I don't think it was like, like, oh, my dad, you know, I think he was kind of, he probably, I mean, I don't know what all his emotions were. I imagine that's hell, you know, beneath. But like on the outside, he was just very nice to me and like he's, he's cool with my mom, he's cool with my own cool. I think for him, he, I would say this, for me, he was the first relative that I, on my mom's side, that I felt like I really related to.

he's the only one on my mom's side that looks like me too wow and my mom my uncle my cousins they're all like tough like I've seen the mob been questioned by police and handcuffs and they don't break and like even my mom and I'm sitting there like whispering to my mom like just snitch just snitch

like say something you know like my mom like I've seen that you know and like then I meet my uncle and he has like this kind of like hey let's look at the the glass half full like more sensitive type and I'm like that's my guy like me and this dude click he's a teacher uh he's yeah he's such cool people I just thought it was hilarious that my grandpa never like I don't know if you apologize to him but like to my grandpa it was just like hey look look what ended up happening the whole family's together and it's like bro you hit a kid from your other kids for like

years like these are all grown adults in their 30s now wow and my grandpa even um i remember my grandpa tell him my uncle he's like yeah don't you remember he's like uh you were in karate he's like i used to go down there and stay with you every now and then he's like and you were showing me what you learned in karate you were like 12 or something and uh he's just like no i don't remember that but like my uncle and my my other uncle and my mom are listening to this story and i imagine in their they're just like what the fuck like so that weekend that you were gone for like work like that's what you were doing like going to see your other kids karate yeah but my grandpa like he never really talked like if he did anything wrong which i i thought was hilarious it could be traumatizing

for my you know my mom and my uncle and stuff but like people were different back in those days yeah for sure when life is harder people are less sensitive oh yeah for sure yeah yeah when you know you go back to your grandpa's day or my grandpa's days, different world. Plus, you know, you've got to realize those people were dealing with, that was like, what year was this? What, the one of my grandpa was having these kids? Like 80s.

Yeah, different world. Yeah, for sure. He told me stories. Like, I think they put my grandpa to work when he was like seven. Both my grandparents, like on both sides. But. Harder people, man. Like loggers.

Yeah, like loggers. Yeah. It's all good. That's why I think we need to go back to, maybe not like, you know, trying to conquer empires and shit, but we need to dial it back a little bit. People need more pain. Life has gotten too leisurely. Yeah.

When life gets too leisure, you start to, I think you start to look for, like, the next little issue. Sure. And the issues get smaller and smaller. Exactly. You know what I mean? Well, we're fine in that in this. society for sure yeah and people concentrate on a lot of things that aren't really

important because life's a little easy yeah yeah nothing wakes people up like a nice attack like after September 11th let me tell you something man this country you were too young to probably remember it but during September 11th the the country was so united it was so crazy everybody in LA had American flags on their cars in LA in LA I mean I'm talking about like 80% of the cars you drive down the street for the first couple of weeks 80% of the cars had American flags on them it was nuts everybody was united that um that's always kind of crazy to me when i hear people talk about like because i don't go to l.a too often but i hear talk about i hear people talk about like

how l.a was like uh like the south park guys are thinking in an interview they were saying like to be to be like punk rock in l.a you had to say you were like republican yeah L.A. trips me out, though. I don't know. I mean, there's stuff that fascinates me about liberals and, like, Republicans, maybe, because I'm not, like, too far on either side or whatever. But it just trips me out that there's, like, not that I'm, like, a huge patriot, but it does trip me out that, like, people, I guess they're not happy here or, like,

not proud of it. I used to spend my summers in Mexico. It's like, you'll appreciate a lot of American shit like that, you know? I mean. Yeah. But I'm not going to go too far into this. Well, it's what you're talking about before is if your life is too easy, you find things to complain about.

Like, America's the worst. Like, no, it's not the worst. It's the best. It's just people are fucked. And people in other parts of the world, and you give them more power and you have less control of your own life and you have less freedom, less ability to express yourself. It's a lot fucking worse. I'm just happy we got all this food, too.

Like, we got good food. You're here about, like, a menu, like in some European country or, like, I saw a menu for a restaurant, like in fucking Prague or something like that one time. I'm not saying that all their food is like that. It looks fucking horrible. They look like bland food. And I know our food is bad and it's making us fat. But at least it's good, you know?

Like, at least we have the fucking option to get fat. The option. The options are good. Hell yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but if you live in a place where people are poor, you can eat bland food. True. Unless they have good spices that aren't expensive.

You eat like Indian food? I love Indian food, yeah I can't do it You can't eat spicy I like spicy You like spicy Mexican Yeah spicy Mexican Yeah what's wrong with spicy

Indian What don't you like I mean it tasted good I've only had it like twice But both times Just gave me the runs Like my stomach's not built for it Not built for curry

Uh uh uh I'm not And like I don't know Then again maybe it was just the people Who made it both times it was homemade Oh So I'm not gonna say their names Yeah go to a good Indian restaurant See if you agree still

I like sushi lot. That's my shit, man. Well, you want to get the runs? That's a good way to do it, too. Sushi? Oh, because it's like raw fish and shit? Well, you can get parasites and stuff. I like sushi, too, but there's a reality of eating raw things.

That's why pregnant women are not supposed to eat sushi. I fucking, I tried, uh, what do they call the snails? What do they call it? Escargo. Bro, I tried that for the first time. That's just delicious. It's pretty good, right? Yeah. Who would imagine the snails taste so good? whoever had the boss to try that first snail like they were on to something

bro they were poor and starving they probably cooked everything they could they probably tried everything that's why people eat crickets that's like you know people are starving never tried crickets they're good yeah yeah yeah I'm out of in Mexico yeah yeah the fuck yeah they've fried them up and served it I've heard about that but they're like had a bowl of them sitting in the the hotel when we got in there I was like what is this what the fuck What part of Mexico did you go to? I think this one was...

I think it was Puerto Vallada. I never been out there. I think that's where we were. I think we were Punta Mita. But there's a lot of people that eat bugs, man. A lot of people eat fried bugs. It's nuts, bro. I like coffee.

They're kind of crunchy. Yeah? Yeah, not bad. Cicadas, you know, when those cicadas hatch? Yeah. People eat cicadas. Got a lot of those in my garage. Do you?

I might try it. Try it. Find a recipe online. Garage door open. Yeah. Get those fuckers. Fry them up. I don't know.

I'm not kidding. Like my friend Ryan, yeah, he was just on the podcast recently. He had a big hatch. You know, because every X amount of years they have a bunch of them emerge and it's like crazy. And they were everywhere. And he baked them in the oven, I think with terriaki sauce. Said they were delicious. Do you ever take advantage of the fact?

Take it that. Ladies Cricket. Oh, no, I couldn't eat those. Are those cicadas, too? Are those cicadas and crickets or just cicadas? So they're on a stick. They're on a stick like shish kebab. Fuck that dude.

Fuck yeah, bro. I'll change my mind. I'll get in there. Do you realize, like, and do you ever take advantage of the fact that you hold so much power over so many people? Like, you're Joel Rogan. If you told somebody right now, like, if you eat fucking gum off the floor, it's twice as nutritious as, like, a steak.

You can do that once. People will believe you. No. They'll only believe you if you lie to them once. They'll believe you that time. And then every time after that, they'll never believe you. Have you ever tried to fuck with anybody? No?

No. With great power comes great responsibility, Ralph Barbosa. They follows you, I'd be lying to people all the fucking time. You probably would. Yeah. You probably would. I'd be like SDDs are a myth. People would just stop using condoms.

And then I'd fix Japan's population problem, you know? Well, you just need to send some horny dudes over there, get things going. They're going to have to do something, though. They're importing humans. They're asking people to move there. I might move there. Very beautiful place.

Beautiful, safe, peaceful. If they say people are real quiet, though, that kind of scares me. Because, like, I'm quiet, but I'm afraid to be the loud guy now. You will definitely be the loud guy in Japan. Yeah. They're real quiet. And they're super orderly. When they walk down the street, they don't bump into each other.

They move around each other. Everyone's really polite. Everything's super clean. Like, you go through Tokyo. big beautiful city everything's clean no garbage on the ground no pollution for sure but i mean just refish just garbage trash right but they live pretty uh compact don't they in the city in the city well they do in new york city too you know yeah dude that's i don't know if i i stayed in new york for like two three months it's not my jam i i like it but i after that like two three

it's like two months maybe i was like all right i need to go back to where there's like fucking space. Yeah. Even when I lived in New York, I didn't live in New York City. I couldn't afford it. I had to have a car back then because I was doing road gigs, so I would have had to have a parking spot at a garage in New York City so you have to pay. And they could be hundreds of dollars back then a month, probably now thousands of dollars

a month that I just didn't have. So in order for me, and also the apartments in New York were so much more expensive than where I was. I lived in New Rochelle, which is, you know, a half hour plus outside of New York City. I don't even know that. It's just a regular suburban neighborhood, but it was great. I had a little driveway, could park my car in my driveway. It was golden. It was perfect. My favorite wings are in New York on the Upper East Side. There's a place called International Wing Factory, which I think is a crazy name, International Wing Factory. There's only two tables in there. You can fit four people in that restaurant. But the wings, the Nashville hot wings, they're so fucking good. Well, New York

has an insane number of great restaurants. That's one good thing about living in New York City. If you're a person who likes to go out to dinner and you live in New York City, you can go to a different place every night of the week for years. And you have some of the best restaurants on earth. I don't know what, like, the math is on this, but if you have so many good restaurants. Yeah, that's a spot, two tables. And they play techno a lot. Yeah. No, it's a great place to eat. I just don't think it's good for your brain to be surrounded by that many people all the time. One thing they have, though, that's nice is the park. Central Park is incredible.

Like, if you live in the city, you can actually be in nature. You say you don't think it's good for there to be a lot of people around you? I don't think stacked up like that on top of each other is normal for people. I don't think your brain is designed to operate like that. Just be constantly surrounded by people you don't even know all the time. that's very unusual in human history. Like most people knew everyone around them up until X amount of thousands of years ago.

We're kind of designed to be in tribal environments where we understand what our environment is and who's around us and what's our community. You know, I have my friend Jim Norton, who lives in New York City, who's telling me he's like, I live in this giant apartment. I don't know anybody in it.

He goes, I don't know who my neighbor is. I don't know anybody. He goes, which is kind of crazy. Because you think about it, you're in a building, you share a building with hundreds of people. They're in every direction of you. All around you, you don't know any of them. I just think it takes away a sense of community, which is weird, because you would think the more people, the more community.

But it doesn't work like that. When you have too many people, I think oftentimes you don't value them because there's too many of them. They become a burden. Less importance. Yeah. They don't mean anything to you. Hey, that must be why they let people just, like I saw this. dude one time at the subway laying down face down on the ground and everybody just kept

walking around them yeah they don't give a fuck i was like right i could be dead nobody no it's just another fucking day to them right if it was a small town in the middle of oklahoma and the guy like was laying down like that it was a regular guy you're like oh my god you okay sir people like check in on you they call the police yeah in the subway that guy could be dead for a day before anybody says anything uh also you have to deal with schizophrenic and fucking psychotic people so when you're going down to the subway you can't stand close to the edge

because people literally push people in front of trains Hey well hold on that brings me I want to ask you something Have you ever in Because I saw you have like the books on psilocybin I don't know you've done a lot of research I've done a lot of research like on mushrooms

Have you ever read anything about like Mushrooms or other kinds of drugs Being able to like Like trigger schizophrenia people like if it's in their genetics they think that's the case with marijuana especially high dose pot um maybe maybe edibles i'm not sure if they think it's more from edibles or more from just smoking it but yeah there's a certain amount of people that it seems like it triggers some

kind of schizophrenic break like maybe they might have a tendency to schizophrenia and something you know like the real crazy paranoia that you can get if you get really high yeah for some people that crazy paranoia hits the switch and they don't come back I've had my last few mushroom trips not with weed though but I'm trying to think

if I was smoking and on shrooms my last few mushroom trips I started hearing voices but I also think it might have been like I was exhausted like my brain was just like because I'd be awake all day and then I'd do the mushrooms

like at midnight and then I'd be awake until, like, the next day, basically. But at some point or another in the trip, usually towards the end of the trip, I'd, like, hear voices. So it scared me off of mushrooms. I haven't done them in, like, I don't know how long. But I was just, I heard.

What were the voices saying? One of them, I remember arguing with, like, other versions of myself. I was talking to them? I was talking, like, loud. Like, on one of them, I was a really bad trip, though. I ate, like, somewhere north of, like, seven or eight grams. and that one was bad I kept blacking out but on that trip

I argued with like two other voices which I'm pretty sure were like other versions of myself which was me me me me like the balanced one more balanced one and then I had like this other one that was like a very like angry version of myself

very much like a like like shut the fuck up stop complaining type and then I had like a very like sensitive little bitch version of myself. I felt like they were all three arguing. And I was just like arguing back. Out loud. Out loud. Out loud. Was there anybody around you? No. That's good. I was in a hotel room by myself. Jeez. Yeah. I fucked that hotel room. You took seven grams in a hotel room? Mm-hmm. Like 90% of my trips have been in hotels. Why? I don't know. I have fun. Did you go out into the nature?

I never tried that. I never tried that. It's way better. I don't know. I don't want to be like high in public. Oh, well, that's a good point. I've got to go somewhere in Vegas. Go somewhere that's unpopulated.

Like go to some national forest place. Do it out in the place where Travis Walton got abducted. Go down that logging road. Take seven grams right at the spot. I wonder if you could find the spot where he got abducted. I wonder if there's a pin, like a Google pin. Yeah. I'd go to that, sniff the ground.

I hope I never get abducted by aliens. Why? I don't know. They always bring you back. Everybody seems to come back. They don't steal people. No one's going to believe me. I know a lady whose grandfather was a famous abductee.

Like, the people believe them? Oh, yeah. I believe him. I don't know. Because he was an abductee in the 1950s. I think it was the 50s. Betty and Barney Hill. I believe it was the 50s.

So Angela Hill is a UFC fighter. And she didn't even tell me this until after the podcast. Betty and Barney Hill. That is the Flintstones? No, no, no, that's rubble. No, this is a very famous case. So what year was this, Jamie? 161.

So Betty and Barney Hill were driving. Wait, were they even a racial couple? Yeah. That must have been crazy for the times, huh? Oh, yeah. Crazy for the times. And then on top of that, they get abducted by a. can they catch a fucking break um so her uh their granddaughter is uh angela so angela who fights in the ufc

okay and i didn't know about it well we did a whole podcast together i just want to talk to her about her career fighting career at the end of the podcast she's like oh my grandfather i forgot to tell you was uh barney hill i was like what that's because i know that case it's a crazy coincidence i know that case inside and out it's a crazy case so they both came back They went on a trip and then they saw something in the sky, and then they blacked out and lost time. And they don't know what happened. And they woke up on the side of the road in the car and drove, but they were missing time, like more than an hour, I think it was. And then they started having these crazy nightmares.

So they both go to psychiatrists, and the psychiatrist or the psychologist does a hypnotic regression thing. Like, let's try to find out what happened to you. And they both independently have this crazy story of being taken aboard a UFO and examined by these beings. And this is in 1961 when this was not something that people talked about. This is like now the problem is that whole UFO abduction, close encounters of the fourth kind. That's become a thing that everybody knows about. Everybody knows UFOs abduct people. But when 1961, when these people told that story, that was a completely novel.

thing nobody had ever heard that before and so it was a really crazy story and then other people with similar stories what are the experiments that they conduct on them it's a good question you know you don't know because hypnotic regression is weird so someone could hypnotize you and put thoughts in your head if they were manipulative they could put thoughts in your head and memories in your head that didn't exist so you could someone could hypnotize you and if they were very skilled they could figure out a way to get you to believe that something happened to you, especially something minor, that didn't really happen. I could hire a hypnotist.

Hypnotist to put the memory in my head that I hooked up with Margo Robbie and a fucking threesome with Scarlett Johansson? No, that's too outside of science fiction. That's too ridiculous. Nobody would believe that. But you wouldn't even believe that. And then you'd be DM in them, and then they'd have restraining orders on you. Hey, girls, let's do that again.

That shit was fire. No, but like, you know, you could maybe someone could put a memory in your head that you got lost at the park when you were a child and you were terrified. And then the police found you and they brought you back to your parents. Do you remember that? You're like, no, I don't. You probably blacked it out. Let's try to remember that. And they could put a fucking fake memory.

Well, there's already like a, I don't know, there's just like some shit I've saw on another fucking Instagram real. But don't they say like a lot of our memories, like we change them each time we remember them? Yes. And then your memories become a memory of your recollection of the memory. So it's like one thing that happens to your friends when they want to tell some crazy story about high school or something like that. Over the years, that fucking story morphs and changes and shit gets added to it. And then she's got a fucking frying pan And she's running down the street screaming

Her tits are hanging out And then your friends are like, What, her tits are hanging out? No, no, no. You never told it like this before. It's like over time, stories change, you know? Because the human memory is like, I have a very good memory.

But it's also not exact, right? Like I don't see it in my head like I, like a film. You know, like I could see the most amazing movie. I could go see like a crazy movie, science fiction movie that I love it's incredible and then afterward I don't remember everything exactly I can't replay that movie in my head like pressing play so memory is like scattered it's abstract it's it's a bunch of like weird flashbacks of oh yeah then there was that thing oh yeah then there was that thing but they've shown that you can introduce memories into people's heads that aren't real so

this is the problem with hypnotic regression you you have to one the people that are involved in like writing there was a book called abduction by this guy named john mack who is a psychologist at harvard i believe and he did a series of these hypnotic regression things with people that have had abductions with aliens but he's also writing a book about that like so it makes you want to go like but did he want to achieve those results like how did he talk to these people like what was the questions did he guide them in that way you know it's like where they're independent people that they speak to different hypnotic regression therapist that had different results with them? Is it dependent upon how the person is talking to you? Because someone's talking to you while you're in hypnosis. It's not as simple as like you take a pill and then you remember your past. Well, someone's talking to you. They're asking you specific kinds of questions with a specific tone.

You know, and maybe it's a man's voice that maybe it's like you feel like he's judging you or it's a woman's voice and it's more comforting. Yeah, that's got to be scary, you know, to get hypnotized. And then what if they make me talk about a memory that I didn't want to bring up? Right. Or what if they put something in your head, like a Manchurian candidate thing? You know that concept? Manchurian candidate is like you hypnotize someone into, you can bring them into action with like a phone call.

Oh, yeah, yeah. You have been activated. They're like, click. and say like a phrase and then you go and then you go and assassinate the president or whatever it is

yeah you know that's from scary shit that's scary shit because I don't know how much they can actually do I know they've definitely done a bunch of experiments

to see how much they could talk people into doing certain things how much they can hypnotize people into certain behaviors whether or not they can get someone to be an assassin with a phone call I know this sounds crazy

but I believe well I mean not that I believe but I guess I like play with theories in my head But what if all the music that gets allowed to be on the radios and all the shows that get allowed to be on TV are like, it's like certain patterns in the music or like to the words that they say in the shows like that like brainwashes you to like do stuff that we do? Like maybe that's what makes us like go to work and do our 40 hours a week and like risk. expect a 30-minute lunch or something. Like the Rowdy-Rotty Piper movie?

Like they live? I don't know. It's like, that's a bad idea. There's too many variables. Like too many people would have to be working in coordination. Everybody is in on this except for you. All the people making the music are in on this? No, but out of all the music that gets made,

there's a lot of similarities within music. Right. Because there's only a certain amount of chords. Right? And there's a lot of genres, and there was repetitive topics that people choose because they're popular. So I don't think every hit is a hit. Like, sometimes you hear a song on the radio and you're like, how does it get on the radio? It sucks ass. Right. But maybe it hit within those chords that like, like when you hear a certain chord and it makes your mind go into like a different state, like more relaxed or more of this, right? Well, there's definitely that.

Maybe they need our minds to stay in a certain state, so they only allow certain music with certain chords or patterns to play on the radio to keep our minds going this direction. No, Ralph, no. See, you would have to have a grand mastermind who's in charge of manipulating everybody all the time. Maybe it's you. You don't like that. I'm on your tail.

I don't know, man. I think I'm on to something here. I think you're definitely not, and you're going to waste your time pursuing this. I know a lot of musicians, none of them are being. contracted to make certain frequencies that alter the way you behave you think so Jamie there's something too what are you saying

I'll be honest with you because there's a video going around I'll go play it for you right now I might be the next Terrence Howard it's not I mean it's similar so this is Charlie Puth he's describing what happens after songs are like this is in the mixing process

okay tired and emotional it's because the song is pitched up with a machine. Back in the day they call this sweetening the audio. Here's what it originally sounded like. Same thing with this song. That is sped up and this is what it originally sounds like. You might be thinking to yourself right now, Charlie, why do people do this? I will tell you, viewer, when you speed music or tones up and down it's scientifically proven to make you feel different emotionally this is the

tone all music is basically tuned to but when you pitch it higher it brings you to the love frequency known as 528 hertz so when people pitch their music up it brings the listener closer to that feeling i think music science is really cool listen to this song oh okay well that's interesting but that's a little bit different that's just like making that is exactly what i was trying to say oh yeah that just makes you feel good yeah there's definitely that man music is like a drug it's a pretty dope drug you're proving my point even now no but i mean like it's an inspirational drug yeah but it does different things to you you know that's one of the reasons why i like to mix my drugs when it comes

to music i like my spotify playlist it's all it's all scattered it's a bunch of different stuff like you might get like gnaz and then right after gnaz is leonard skinner i'm the same way But I feel like it's important to listen to different types of music, not only because it's cool to, like, see different people's talent, like, from different, like, I think I can appreciate talent from, like, any genre. So, like, if you hear, like, a Leonard Skinner song, you're like, holy shit, that guy sang the shit out of that note. Maybe I don't relate to what he's saying, but, like, that was fucking dope.

But I also think it helps you communicate and, like, connect with people from, like, different cultures, different backgrounds. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Because I listen to a lot of, like, a lot of rap, a lot of Spanish music, but then I'll listen to a lot of country as well. But, like, old country, new country, sometimes I feel like a lot of what comes up. Maybe because I don't dig into it too much, but a lot of what comes up on my algorithm is very, like, modern, like, pop, like, more poppy.

Right. You know what you mean. Yeah. A manufactured feels like. Yeah. Yeah. But I do like to listen to, like, different types of shit because it's, like, I want to know. Not that I necessarily want to know, but it helps me know and understand what, like, somebody from a totally different part of the country might, like, experience or, like, enjoy.

Oh, yeah, for sure. Well, that's a cool thing about traveling, right? That's one thing that comics have that really, I think, helps us get a better understanding of the whole country is you're on the road a lot. So you're traveling to Ohio one weekend. Then you're in Florida. Then you're in Michigan. And when you do that, you get a better sense like, oh, this country. varies a lot.

There's a lot of different kinds of ways to live out there. There's also, one thing that was crazy to me is when I started traveling is how similar a lot of people also are. Yeah. Like, sometimes you run into people that are, like, very proud of, like, the city they're from and, like, their neighborhood. Yeah. And, you know, they'll fight for it.

They'll fucking die for it. Oh, yeah. And then you go to another city, and it's, like, the same person, just a different title. Yep. Yep. Yeah, people get real tribal. They're real tribal for their stupid-ass. town.
