As the world's population grows, so does the need for resources like potash to support sustainable food production. This is why BHP is building one of the world's most sustainable potash mines in Canada. Essential resources responsibly produced.
Starting point is 00:00:35 This is what BHP has committed to Canada. The future is clear. It's happening now at BHP, a future resources company. To discover how, visit BHP.com slash better future. Hey, good morning. Okay, not good morning. Bam, we're live. He didn't have his earphones on. I don't think he knew we were live. Good morning. the Hey, when I, man, there's some crazy stories in the news right now. Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. The drone stories just I'm tripping on drones the size of cars flying over people's houses. Rhett was showing me a DJI and I remember it was 10 thou or 50 thou.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Yeah. But it has a couple hundred pound payload capability. Uh-huh. And it's like the size of a Volkswagen. I'd get seven of those. So there's gotta be someone with the means thinking like me. I didn't know that was available. Just right here, not in Scotts Valley,
Starting point is 00:02:01 but in one of those small towns behind Scotts Valley. I'm sure you know the name of the town. I can't remember it, but they have flying cars up there already. They have these drones that you sit in. I've been watching them on YouTube and they look like DJI drones and there's dudes sitting in them flying them around. Yeah. As soon as the thing has a 400 pound capability and you've got the, the control and emergency put me down button.
Starting point is 00:02:27 And have you seen those drones also DJI is selling where you just, I mean, they're expensive but you just buy a box, the drone lives in it. You set it out in the Arctic or out in a desert and an oil field somewhere. And then you can fly it from anywhere in the world. You push a button, the box opens up and the drone comes out and then you do whatever surveillance you wanna do and then you push a button and then it goes and flies back in the world. You push a button, the box opens up and the drone comes out and then you do whatever surveillance you want to do and then you push a button
Starting point is 00:02:47 and then it goes and flies back in the box and charges. I want one of those. You think those are friendlies? One of the stories said there were 50 of them in the sky. Another one said that a Coast Guard ship was followed by 12 of these things that are the size of Volkswagen's Just off the coast off the East Coast Will in March will have a Chinese president Here you know Hey, I
Starting point is 00:03:22 Flew my drone a couple months ago. I had the whole family out, the grandparents, me and the kids, and my neighbor came out with a gun. Why isn't someone just shooting these down? And if you would have shot it down, I couldn't argue with them. You know what I mean? That's a felony. You suffer the same fate as if you shot at a 737. Really, if you shoot someone's drone down, that's illegal?
Starting point is 00:03:45 Yeah. Look it up, it's gnarly. People have been prosecuted as though they were shooting at jumbo jets. Wow. Yeah. Hey, you know, hang gliding was, I don't know if it's still this way,
Starting point is 00:03:59 but when I was a kid and stupid enough to do that shit, as soon as you put wheels on your hang glider, it became an airplane and the FAA was involved. But a running landing, it wasn't an airplane. That's a crazy chapter in your life, by the way. Whenever you tell those stories, I have trouble getting my head wrapped around. I've been to more hang gliding funerals than anybody.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Like I was one of the first, I don't know, I don't know where it started, nobody knew, but you know, I felt like I was Icarus' cousin. And the one I heard is a one in a million thing. That was a one in a million failure. I've been to four funerals in two years. And there's only 100 guys that do it. Yeah, there's 500 of us around the world, you know, I mean, you were, I mean, two guys knew him well, flew with him in Simi Valley a lot. And they went out to somewhere in Germany and they got in a thunderhead. And one was found, he looked fine, but he was frozen solid. And the other guy, he was like a carbonaceous mess of protoplasm.
Starting point is 00:05:07 He got struck by lightning. And the other one got frozen. Found him in a pasture. My buddy, Paul Nicholson, who lived with us and worked for my dad, my dad found out this kid made a variometer and he was doing analog design when the whole world went digital. When the whole world goes digital,
Starting point is 00:05:25 if you're really good at analog, you're making 200,000 years a 24 year old fucking in LA in 1990. Which is almost like a million bucks now. It was amazing. He had a special talent. He did analog design, not digital design. Everyone's doing chips. He's doing capacitors and resistors and and shit like that. But Paul had a was in a kite and it it that wing just folded from thermal. Uh huh. And he looks down and he sees cows. And he sees an oak tree that's like 20 degrees off from below him. And he's up like 5,000 feet.
Starting point is 00:06:05 So he starts trying to make the fluttering flopping mess go towards the oak tree. And he thinks he's headed towards it and he wakes up in the hospital. He hit the tree. Damn. Made it. And the people that rescued him, they came and got him. Yeah. The cow was standing over him and he was talking to it.
Starting point is 00:06:30 He has no memory of that. But he thundered through this fucking oak tree at 60 miles an hour in a fluttering mess of a maple leafing kite. What's the logic for the tree that some branches will break your fall? Yeah, yeah, you rather hit the tree than the dirt. I knew a guy that filmed a commercial for Jeep. You've seen the commercial where the guy hang glides
Starting point is 00:06:54 and he lands in the Jeep and he's talking to a chick. Well, the guy that did the hang gliding for that was killed during that shoot. And a helicopter that was filming it flew over him as he was doing it, and it blew him into the ground at like 100 miles an hour. Wow. And you were doing that when they were made out of plastic straws and cellophane? Yeah, you know, we, no, it was like.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Could you buy one or were they all homemade? No, it's kits. Like from the back of Boys Life Magazine or something. Yeah, it was sketchy as fuck We were making this thing called the easy riser and it was a dihedral by playing Rigid wing that was probably the safest and kind of coolest thing out there, but it was all it was all sheet metal and Were they expensive? They should have cost more. I pulled a kite out of a bag
Starting point is 00:07:53 one day and went off a hill and I'm like easy takeoff strong wind, but I can't get any lift And so I'm just riding down the face of this fucking mountain, right? 15 feet above the top. And every time I push forward, I start to stall. So I don't want to lose my airspeed. So I want to get down the hill as I can and then stall at a low speed. And that was one of those things too where I think I'm doing pretty good, then I'm tumbling.
Starting point is 00:08:21 And the last 50 feet happened so fucking fast in the fall. But we get back in the postmortem was the kite was was in the wrong bag. I was like 40 pounds over what you know, I remember pulling it out and going, God, this was a serious and this thing is cute. I said, I'm serious, right? You have any of that stuff? No. No. That's something I wouldn't want my kids to get into, running off the side of a cliff
Starting point is 00:08:55 with some strings and a wing on their back. Yeah, I saw a headline that a wingsuit dude from Santa Cruz died. There's no way not stomp. No, but it wasn't. It was some other guy from Santa Cruz. Just recently. Yeah, like a year ago. Do you have any thoughts about the drones, whether they're real or not?
Starting point is 00:09:21 I think you need to start it. I think you need to start at plausibility and worst case scenario. And I'm only seeing footage of them at night. That there's 10,000 of them here already and they're running practice missions to attack the Eastern seaboard. Controlled by China. Yeah, right. to attack the eastern seaboard controlled by china yeah right i don't i can't believe you can follow a coast guard ship with the drone i tell you this i'd tell i'd tell china just straight up put drones in our airspace and I will give a Persian missiles to Taiwan with nuclear warheads,
Starting point is 00:10:10 with a seven second fucking launch to go time. Yeah, so zero tolerance for Chinese flying over it, flying in US airspace. Dude, dude. I'd nuke them before I'd allow it. You wanna have a nuclear war? That's a great, great way to have it. Start flying drones over the US, big drones,
Starting point is 00:10:38 the size of cars. Yeah, pretending like you're not. Yeah, it's- That's an act of war. That's an act of war. I know you've seen the 10,000 drones dancing together China video. I saw one the other day, I wish I had the clip to show you, but what they did is they made a circle of lights at night that looked like it
Starting point is 00:11:08 Was like some some time portal had opened up in the sky And then it had lights dropping out of it and from far away it looked like a sci-fi movie You know what I mean? It looked like aliens entering our like our dimension You know with fucking time portal with 10 million drones, you have a 10 megapixel. Right. Image. And from the right. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I didn't even think of that. Yeah. So we're ordering up this slip flap thing. You know the flipping letters that I showed you for the gym? Yeah, that thing's amazing. It's incredible. And the options, the options are, I mean, there's color, you can, there's all kind of animation things.
Starting point is 00:12:03 But I was thinking, imagine during a seminar to have someone reasonably astute that might even have your lecture notes, they could throw key pieces up on the slip flap that you know, like we define fitness as work capacity measured across broad time and mobile lanes and bam, there it is. Yeah. One of the test answers. Got this video. This video is amazing too. It's really good promo.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Yeah. And that what they're not like a storage shed, it looks like. Always use a little inspiration. Like their businesses. That's what it looks like to me. I haven't seen one of these in person. I've only seen these things in the movies. My local Buck and Rider great restaurant has one and they throw up specials and shit. It's cool. And the audio, the sound effects it makes are great.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Yeah. I mean, people watch it. You're staring at the board. Like there might be some drink that's only a dollar for the next hour. Oh, that was, that was their shit promo. Uh, no, each great. Greg has a great take on that. Uh, you, you misunderstood him. Uh, Oh no, it's goodwill racing.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Greg wants to use nukes. Do you remember what you told me about? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let me explain this to God. Good will racing. The surest way to get nuked is to signal that you will do anything whatsoever to avoid that, including giving up your sovereignty, your freedom, and your liberty. That's how you get nuked.
Starting point is 00:13:55 See, you're a liberal, and I can tell, and think that police cause crime. You got your shoes on the wrong feet. It's weakness that causes attacks and war, perceived weakness. Victor Davis Hansen wrote a great book. What is it? The End of Everything? What's it called? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Should have just gave out a bunch of them. Super simple premise. But what happens is that affluent- The end of everything. The end of everything. That affluent and successful nations grow soft and successful nations grow soft and start fearing war above all else. Nothing is worse than war. Nothing. And then someone looking at your shit that doesn't have somewhere in a shithole country they're looking at you and they think I can just come over there and take that because I'm not afraid of war and
Starting point is 00:15:05 they are and that's the mistake that Hitler made that uh Hirohito made. Hansen says this has been going on for thousands of years that you you you want peace at all costs and someone a fraction of your strength locks in on that and comes to take your shit. The very thing you don't want, you cause. Not unlike the message on the tolerance. The most tolerant nations and cultures breed and fester the least tolerant of fucking ideologies. I don't have an easy answer to this, but I think we can start by sharing that you're
Starting point is 00:15:56 not thinking straight, Goodwill Racing. Sorry, sorry. the evidence. I saw a list. I should have saved the clip. I saw a list of the guy that Daniel Penny brought to the ground in the subway. Yeah. I saw a list of his crimes. Yeah. How about the 80-something-year-old woman that had her skull fractured?
Starting point is 00:16:42 They say it's aurora, but it's your fucking skull. You fractured her skull. Hit an 80-year-old woman so hard, it fucking that had her skull fractured. They say it's aurora but it's your fucking skull. He fractured her skull hit an 80 year old woman so hard fucking fractured her skull. Were they allowed to die today? Yeah, I gotta give him this. He's he was extraordinarily prescient. What's that mean? Prescient? He saw the future. Oh, like, thank God it was he that died today.
Starting point is 00:17:09 The list there was there was like a child of abduction charge. There were some crazy fucking charges in there. Were they are you allowed to use those as evidence in the case. I don't think you are. I think in the George Floyd case they weren't allowed to show video of him in his three prior arrests saying I can't breathe. You know Floyd was even warned by in his previous rest when they took him to the hospital the the doctor told him hey dude you're going to give yourself a heart attack if you keep eating drugs every time you get arrested because he was doing that, you know, when he got caught. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I think it's pulmonary embolism that people will come into the ER saying, I can't breathe and they're talking to you and breathing. They're breathing kind of hard and fast, but it's a weird one. I can't breathe, but it's like that time you said you couldn't drive and I go, you're doing a most magnificent job.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Oh, God, that was fucking scary. I felt like I was in outer space. I ate a I ate a batch of brownies at someone's house and then drove home and God was in the way he says I can't drive I can't even see the road I go well that this is incredible but because I'd give you an A if I were you're driving in structure, you'd get like fucking extra points. That was the worst. I coached you all the way home. That was the end.
Starting point is 00:18:31 You and Haley were both laughing your asses off. God, I slept horrible that night. That still affects me. Hey, and then and then another story I heard listening to your TV. I didn't I didn't hear this story either. I didn't hear that. I didn still affects me. Hey, and then another story I heard listening to your TV. I didn't hear this story either, that NFL professional athletes are getting robbed left, right and center. Did you hear that story? You heard that on my TV? Yeah, just now before the show started, I brought our screens up and I could hear your
Starting point is 00:19:02 TV and it said Kelsey and Mahone Were both robbed this past weekend and then another guy named burrows and I guess the crooks are like well He's out playing football. I'm going to his house and help myself to shit in the fridge Yep That's wild That's that that has to have been going on forever. And then now it's just really ratcheted up with all the illegals. I'm gonna blame it on the illegals.
Starting point is 00:19:35 If you've ever been a part of- I'm in the Arcadia neighborhood. Yeah. Which is one of the nicest neighborhoods on earth. But I'm in the Scotadia neighborhood, which is one of the nicest neighborhoods on earth, but I'm in the Scottsdale section of it, and there's not much of Arcadia that's in Scottsdale, the city. And the street signs are different,
Starting point is 00:19:55 they're named different, it's 64th and One Direction, it's Inver Gordon and another, and there's just a few streets that don't change their name. And so the look is obvious and the police are different. It's a different thing to have Scottsdale cops show up than, than Phoenix PD and Phoenix PD is a great PD, truthfully. But if you, if you, if you want to commit crime and get arrested or shot, Scottsdale is the place to do it. Wait a guy that hit carjacked a woman
Starting point is 00:20:32 in somewhere like Gilbert or something and jumped on the freeway, no leads as to where he went, but he made the big mistake of getting off in Scottsdale. And every off ramp on the freeway has license plate readers. They're everywhere. And within 15 seconds of getting off the freeway and running through the signal, the police were on him. And I think three minutes later, he'd been shot a dozen times. I mean, from getting off the freeway to dead, I think it was three and a half minutes.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Great place. Another thing I understand is, like when I'm at your house, there's always someone there. There's always a nanny, a guy working on the roof, a UPS guy. Those neighborhoods are just like, they just, I mean, they're big homes, they're big yards. There's always someone there.
Starting point is 00:21:31 I don't, it's bizarre to me. There's people sleeping over at people's houses. Everyone has caretakers. It's so- In a radius of about a half mile, my builder is building in Scottsdale, Phoenix and Paradise Valley. I mean, we're all neighbors, but we live in three different cities with three different
Starting point is 00:21:52 PDs. What's required to protect a $20 million build in Phoenix is different than it is in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. And that's a police difference. Right. My point is that people that do crime, if they're good, if they're smart, they know you don't want to do it here. Right. There's a house just as nice just on the on the other side of the fucking 64th.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Just as nice. You can't see the difference except the street change names and a different popo comes when someone 911s. But also you reach a certain level. It's Capitola and Santa Cruz, brother. Right. But you reach a certain level and someone's always at your house. I mean, when you leave your house, there's a caretaker.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Someone has to, like your house needs to be like kept. It's like a sentient being almost. Yeah, I wouldn't do an empty house here. Yeah. And I just can't believe that Mahone leaves his house and doesn't have someone stay in it. Like shit has to be done. Mail has to be picked up.
Starting point is 00:23:06 You gotta make sure like you got a pool, you got dogs. I mean, you got a shitload of dogs. Yeah, does the Mrs. Travel with the team? Yeah, I think she, at least anytime, I always see like the big thing was is that her and the Swiftie are always in the box together. So I assume she travels with the team. Adjusting age, if you'd like.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Go ahead. Maggie and the kids are in Costa Rica, and the kids got sick. Rhett threw up all over his bed. They got multiple vomitors. How come you're not sick? I'm still sick. And you said you are? Oh, you don't sound sick or look sick. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:23:47 And I need more tea. Can I grab that? Yeah, please. That's all as fuck. No, no, no, no, no. It's our it's our show. We do what we want to do. If you ever have been a part of a criminal trial, you will quickly realize that tons of evidence that shows the whole picture of the crime is never allowed to be presented. What? Yeah I mean that's a basically in criminal trials there's tons of evidence that's not allowed to be presented. What's the whole picture of the crime? What does that mean? Like you know like in the George Floyd case they weren't allowed to present that in his three previous arrests that he said I can't breathe.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Well that would yeah that so that's what you mean by whole picture. Yeah or or there were some video angles that for some reason weren't allowed to be presented. I mean the craziest one in the George Floyd case is the fact that Derek Chauvin was using a technique that was taught by the police. And when they brought the manual forward, the police training manual forward into the courtroom, those pages had been taken out. And when they asked the chief of police, that is the same chief of police based on his religious police refused to carry a gun When they asked him was that technique taught in the police academy? He said no
Starting point is 00:25:13 Yeah, it was all lie and in the documentary Yeah in the documentary there's like 20 cops being like no here's the book I still got it here it is that's the technique He even called it out by name when he was doing it. I mean, and they weren't allowed to present that. I mean, it's early, early in the ensuing weeks, a an affiliate whose spouse is in the US Attorney's Office in that region, said that the club that both Chauvin and Floyd worked at was a known place to exchange counterfeit money. own place to exchange counterfeit money.
Starting point is 00:26:13 And they were looking hard at what the relationship between them may be because there was testimony from police that Floyd was asking for Chauvin. And the whole thing was quickly dismissed because the knee ride, the idea. I mean, but there was a thorough attempt to figure out if there was something shitty going on here. I mentioned that in the periphery on a Zoom call. And it made national media. And I became a QAnon guy. I had never heard of QAnon. I remember this.
Starting point is 00:26:44 And I was like, what? What's the QAnon thing? And I was, you know, I was impartial. I didn't know all the facts. It's even worse than I might have presumed it was, it turns out. But I do know that the feds were doing a deep dive, very, very concerned about, you know, this and if there was something nefarious they wanted to know. But that you and I have a friend who allowed himself to be cuffed and he wrote a knee and it says he's done something 5,000 times. And it's kind of considered the humane thing to do a guy that's going to split his skull on the window of the inside of your car. You pull him out and if you stop the head, and it's, anyways, after the Floyd thing on video, our friend handcuffed, rode a knee on a giant
Starting point is 00:27:40 that was not, like not trying to be nice about it. Right. It's a it's a safe and common technique. It beats pulling them out and cracking them upside the fucking, you know, causing a subarachnoid hematoma with your fucking baton or your elbow. There's a word there's a word in the training. Oh, it's called the maximum restraint technique. MR, MRT. It's called a knee ride. It says a maximal restraint technique shall only be used in situations where
Starting point is 00:28:18 handcuffed subjects are combative and still pose a threat to themselves. Yeah. You know what it sounds like? The maximum, What is it? What they call it? MRT Maximal. That's like from the Lego movie. What was it?
Starting point is 00:28:32 The ultimate weapon of doom or something? It was the fucking cat. But all you needed was a laser pointer. That was the greatest movie. And it just destroyed cities. Yeah, they'd throw this orange cat at Lego structures and knock them down I'm a paramedic a pulmonary embolism will let people breathe air in and out of the lungs But they won't get in any oxygen from it. They will feel short of breath constantly
Starting point is 00:28:58 Which is exactly what I said. Thank you John. I thought I remembered that correctly To the handsome man with the beard, what's more important in an athlete? Proceo perception or the mobility? Thank you kind of. Thank you for that, Jake. No, no, no, no, no, the proprioception makes effective mobility possible. I don't even know what that is. It's your awareness of where you're at. Like if you close your eyes and fall over, that's weird, right? Yeah, okay. No, I'm not gonna, you know, that's kidneys or liver. Take a pick one. You know, I'm not going to, you know, that's kidneys or liver.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Take one. You know, I'm not going to play that game. Those are integrated capacities that make that we're on our way to making an athlete with those two. In fact, I can mobility alone, like who cares what you're feeling if your mobility is, you know, precise enough, but we'd have to define those things. I don't miss it.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Your body's ability to sense movement, action, and location. So it's your awareness of your body. So that's like, if you tell someone, hey, when you squat down, bend your knees, and then they don't bend their knees, they don't- You gotta go below parallel. I am. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Draw for me on the board. Here's a piece of chalk stick figure. What do you think you're doing? Where is it going in your head? Joe burrow was also robbed this weekend. Joe burrow got robbed over the weekend when he was in Dallas playing the Cowboys. That's the Cincinnati quarterback. That's the good one. I Watched it. I watched that Syria video. We'll get to that in a second. That was really really good. Yeah. Yeah was great
Starting point is 00:30:59 Yeah, he's a that's an exceptional talent. I know his editor to fucking back. He might just be Like, you know, in 10 second bursts, but it's very well done. Is the summation that Syria Assad was supported by Iran and Russia? For sure. And it was, I mean, Israel would rather have chaos that hates Iran.
Starting point is 00:31:31 You saw that video I sent you. Right. Hezbollah guy sawing off the Syrian dude's head. Yeah, that guy didn't even. Sorry, the rebels sawing off the Hezbollah guy's head. And the guy didn't even scream or nothing. I guess you can't when they slit your throat. He just cut his head off.
Starting point is 00:31:50 He's not even panicking. Well, not much. They're standing on his arms and his forehead. I mean, it's crazy. But anyway, an enemy. I told my sister that. And she said it's hot. She said it's hot.
Starting point is 00:32:03 I told my sister that, and she was like did how did he do it? Because she was telling me about sawing the head off of animals And I said he just did it with like a knife that looked like a pirate knife and just slit his throat and just did A couple back and forths and the fucking head she abs it came right off Yeah, you can tell it's not the first head. He's removed. That's what I told my sister, too I said he wasn't an amateur That's what I told my sister too. I said he wasn't an amateur. Yeah, no he's not. Anyway, go ahead. So real quick and then you can go Greg.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Greg sent me a video telling me sort of the situation in Syria. The Syrian government just fell. Assad's been in power and his family's been in power 50 years. And Greg sent me this video that was like 50 minutes long that's like, hey, check this out. This will kind of give you a big picture perspective of what happened there. Okay, go ahead. He's actually can identify the Chechnyan, Ukrainian. I mean, there's multiple elements to this thing, right? Right. And some of it was in bed footage. I mean, like these guys are taking little towns and the green armbands are hugging the yellow armbands and this is iPhone footage. Everyone's got their iPhone out. Here's my understanding that Russia and Iran were supporting Assad so he could
Starting point is 00:33:13 keep control over Syria. They got busy with their own wars. They stopped funding him. He left and Turkey funds ISIS and ISIS moved in. Is that the story? Boy, I don't know that. What, was it Turkey? It sound, I felt like that's- No, but my new take on things is that, and Turkey's a NATO ally, right? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I think that they think that there's something worse
Starting point is 00:33:49 in the world than Israel. It's like the South Park conservative, you know, where Parker or Stonewall said, and that term was what, Andrew McCarthy, was it? Or Andrew Sullivan, one of the guys who's following said that Parker or Stone once said that I hate conservatives, but I really fucking hate liberals. And I think there's something for most Muslim Islamic nations.
Starting point is 00:34:28 I think there's something worse than Jews. And I think it's a crazy Muslim. Even though even though they're Muslim. Yeah. Hey, the security in the UAE is against, it's crazy Arabs that they're fearing, not Jews. The synagogue there is the most heavily guarded place I've ever seen anywhere. You'd have a better chance of running into Fort Knox and running out with hands full of gold than you would get into into synagogue in Abu Dhabi is a bad guy.
Starting point is 00:35:19 You'd be shot by a chick. How's that for insult? They're tore up over the murder of that rabbi. That happened in Dubai? Yeah. Eaton Beaver, good morning Seve and coach. Hey good morning dude, hope your dad's doing well. During a defensive tactics training that went over the threat of drugies giving themselves rabdo during altercations. Oh Geez, they were concerned about the drugies giving themselves rabdo It makes sense Good I hope they do get it Good, I hope they do get it.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Bad day to be Alawite. I don't know what that is. Yeah, Trish, I mean, isn't the guy, it's a minority sect there. And I guess the ousted dude was one of those, right? Wasn't he Alawite? Alawites are the ethno-religious group of people who practice a mystical sect of Islam called Alawism. They are primarily located in Syria
Starting point is 00:36:32 and Levant make up 10 to 13% of the population. Assad was one of those. I think- Oh, the Assad family who ruled from 1971 were Alawites. Now, the guy who used to be the al-musra and a part of al-qaeda or al-qaeda emulators or whatever the fuck it was um ended up in at war with al-qaeda and uh the guy who's in charge now he's you know talk is nothing but when you're like death to the jews we're gonna kill all americans you're're burning flags, like I get your message.
Starting point is 00:37:06 His message is absolutely the opposite of that. He's saying that Syria's gonna be tolerant of all religion. He wants no war with the West. But it's a good thing to say when Israel's just crushing shit. Israel eliminated Syria serious Navy day before yesterday. Yeah, that was another thing I heard. I
Starting point is 00:37:28 heard that it was time perfectly with some of Syria's **** I mean, it's on the boats and like so there's Russian bases there. Um they they need to go. Oh, wow. These pictures are crazy. Of the Navy? Yeah. Yeah. It's great the anti-ship missiles they have. Because the boat looks pretty good except it looks completely black and it's got a big hole in it.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Yeah. And why were they attacking Syria? Because those are Hezbollah guys? well, they don't want they don't want these the the wild faction of of Crazy Arabs from all over the world that overthrew this guy. They don't they don't need a fairly sophisticated Navy 480 strikes in 48 hours, that's 10 an hour. That's a good number. The Israel Gaza thing, by the way, I saw a flyover the other day of Gaza. It looks like 70% of Gaza has been flattened. My takeaway on that is that the October 7th thing was one of the like a bad idea. Yeah. For those people. I also heard a story leadership their leadership their government did that. I also heard that they weren't planning on stop it they didn't know when they attacked Israel that there was a concert there and
Starting point is 00:39:08 That the plan was is to go deeper into Israel Because they wanted to show that so good. They exhausted all their killing energy there. Yes. Yeah That basically they wanted to come in further undetected and show that they could get a deeper strike. They needed more attackers. I mean, hell, if you're gonna do what did they attack with 1000 guys? Was that the number? I don't know. I saw a great video the other day was on a college campus. And it was a woman who had been kidnapped right during the October 7 thing
Starting point is 00:39:47 sitting next to some kid who's like anti-israel like protester There's like a Columbia or something the two of them are sitting side by side and she's looking right into her his eyes being like Okay, so tell me how Tell me how I deserve this tell me how I'm really and she was just really calm She's like I want to be really open to you. Explain to me how Israel's bad. It was, it was, guy didn't say a word for 15 minutes. Crowd was coming unhinged. The, the, the morality here is as clear to me as it is with Hitler and the Jews. The morality here is as clear to me as it is with Hitler and the Jews.
Starting point is 00:40:47 I like my friend Bobby's take on this. And it was any nation on earth with the capacity would have turned, turned, gauze into exactly what it is. Yeah. If you, if you tried that to Turkey, France, Iran, Russia, Mexico. I don't know. Some of those European countries would just grab their ankles, dude. Which one? Yeah, Germany and France. Like when we when I my last trip to Paris I went during the the yellow vest deal and I was at the four seasons in Paris. No it wasn't was it Paris? No. We're not a different city, different person. But in France, and our security detail, and we were, like I was called and told, move away from the windows. And there was firecrackers and then gunshots, and these guys knew the difference. They were sensitive to that.
Starting point is 00:41:39 And we made it kind of a quick escort away from the Four Seasons. kind of a quick escort away from the Four Seasons. And those guys later showed us footage of the terrorist attack at the heavy metal concert in Paris. And I couldn't believe what I was watching. It was some of the bravest, boldest policing I could ever imagine done by uniformed cops. It wasn't even like the SWAT guys, right? When my guys came, they had ballistic shields and it was just awesome. There was no longer any hope. But before that, I saw French cops in uniform as soon as there was a lull and automatic weapon fire stepping into the light
Starting point is 00:42:25 and firing revolvers up at the bad guys. I mean, I don't think that the reputation of cowardism or whatever it is that people ascribe to the French, I don't buy it. What about Canada? Canada has lost men disproportionate to American losses in all of our conflicts, and many of them got there first.
Starting point is 00:42:58 And so I got, I mean, we went, I did a cert where eight guys were killed, Canadians, never did anything like that in the States. No, they've suffered in Afghanistan in World War I, World War II, and I think they were in both of those before we were. Well, good. My wife goes to war, isn't that right? Isn't that a kid from Pennsylvania that goes up to Canada to get into the war early.
Starting point is 00:43:25 I don't know. They're a fierce people. The Canadians were the fucking guys in Afghanistan that were in their BDUs during the brutal Afghan winter where everyone's like, that's the big story, the brutal Afghan winter. The guys from the Princess Patricia Light Infantry Brigade were wearing tank tops and fucking BDUs playing soccer. This is 20 years ago though, right? Yeah, before climate change. Oh, I heard Jean-Pierre saying in a White House press conference that the Malibu,
Starting point is 00:44:03 she doesn't even refer to it as the Malibu, she doesn't even refer to as the Malibu fire. She was referring to it as a Malibu, it's like a climate incident they're having. Malibu was burned every year for the last hundred years and now it's a climate incident. In 1971 at my middle school, a third of the kids lost their homes. 71 at my middle school, a third of the kids lost their homes. Wow. And that was the soggest Tamalaboo fire. Does that have its own wiki page?
Starting point is 00:44:36 I would hope. I think it was 71. Maybe 70. Was it the Clampit fire had started in the morning of September 25th, 1970 in New Hall Pass within a few hours when it was pushed into Malibu? Yep. Damn, that was a big one, huh? That was it. That was I've only one of the times seen that.
Starting point is 00:45:05 I got caught up. I've been in three, four or five fires. But you remember us evacuating Pepperdine? Yeah, that was wild. I wasn't scared at all. For me, there was no way that... I mean, maybe I'm just naive. It was unimaginable that the fire could come that close to the ocean. When, when we were going to go over to Pango Canyon, I was a little concerned. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Yeah. That part I was concerned about too. You know, like that's, that's, that's what the fuck up looks like. That's where they read about you in the news, the wind change direction and blew over the road and killed. like. That's where they read about you in the news. The wind change direction and blew over the road and killed. The areas are burning and I think hence have figured this out. But the your ways and shit will nav you into the death
Starting point is 00:45:54 trap because there's no traffic. Oh, wow. Go this way. It's uncluttered. All the ways are stopped, you know, and see any drive into flames. There's a hotel next to Nobu there, right on the ocean, and it has a swimming pool. And right on the sidewalk, there's an opening. And it's like, fire department,
Starting point is 00:46:15 use our pool water if need be. And the fire department can connect right into their fucking pool. Do you know what I'm talking about? Have you seen that sign? We gave the fire department access to our koi pond and they explained that their sucker line would leave enough water for the fish and not suck fish. Wow. Okay, if you needed the fish to put out a fire, use it. Yeah, throw the fish out.
Starting point is 00:46:43 I have a fire hydrant at the house and a fire hose and a nozzle. In Larkin Valley. Mm hmm. Oh, I didn't know that. Where is that? In the garage. Why I didn't tell you partnered it's right near the kind of the water tanks. Oh shit, that's awesome.
Starting point is 00:47:00 And so with the generator and the two, what are they 8000 gallons? Is that right? The propane? No, the water, my water tanks. Oh, oh, right. Hey, so does the fire department come there and check that thing on the reg? Dude, the fire department goes over my house
Starting point is 00:47:21 and in fact, they told us that we were the first house and in fact they told us that we were the first Hillside wooded Large acre property in Santa Cruz that they had no recommendations But you know is after their sixth time there, but we did we did all the even the things like like the What's that yellow plant called? The flowering thing?
Starting point is 00:47:46 Is it coming all sorts of colors? Mustard seed? It's bright yellow and they didn't want, they wanted us to eradicate it, but you could leave as many as you want as long as no two touched. Okay. And that was a pretty good effort. We had like an over an acre of that shit, right? So you're hand selecting these beautiful flowering herbs because they burn like gasoline.
Starting point is 00:48:14 You said we won't even go into that stuff. Like that's a, if it ignites, everyone runs. Jonathan Ortega's Secret Service is offering a $40,000 bonus if you're hired. Go try Protect Daddy Donald. Man. That's desperate. Hey, look, you're not even gonna believe this clip I'm gonna show you.
Starting point is 00:48:40 These are these ladies on, I think it's ABC is their network. This is just wild. Whoopi is out with COVID. So rest up and get back here miss when you feel better. It's coming back. It's coming back. Another friend of mine got it too.
Starting point is 00:49:01 I mean we have to be careful again. And it's interesting because a lot of people aren't getting that new booster. I got mine. I got it a couple months ago and I did get a reaction to it but it made me feel safer. Is everybody eligible for it now? It made me feel safer but I got a reaction. Can't use her own discernment. Clap if you had your third booster. own discernment yeah clap if you had your third booster it's more unfortunate to audiences clap if you've had your third booster the one black guy in the back is the only guy not clapping he's like I ain't getting that I ain't getting that the whole show is like a meme Clap if you've had your third booster
Starting point is 00:49:59 My father attributed liberalism to he just said it was arrested intellectual development Just turned it into a medical condition. And I've not seen an instance where that's really not the case. Did you say turn it into a medical condition? Yeah. In fact, you know what? You know our friend Dan and our friend Harry? Yeah. Their dad was studying x rays of the skull and went
Starting point is 00:50:31 over to Russia and he thought for sure that he was going to find an organic brain deficit in in in socialism. He thought that someday you'd be over to have an MRI. No shit, you're going to be a liberal. Oh damn. That there'd be a thing in the head. Right. True story. A very intelligent man. Did he find anything?
Starting point is 00:50:53 He thought that such a common defect of reasoning must have an organic cause. I don't think it's preposterous I don't think it's a out there find that find the place in the brain where there's like you know they've got this earbud shaped size thing that's just something's missing right and you get the Nobel Prize in medicine. Is Greg using the same barber as the professor back to the future? Hey, you want to know something funny? I wake up every day and I have for like six months now thinking I'm going to go get a haircut. I heard you say that on the one we were in.
Starting point is 00:51:40 I keep, I keep, I actually think I'm going to. It's the weirdest thing and I think maybe it's just to feel good about the things that I'm that I'm that I'm not getting done Then I'd like fuck like, you know Craig has too much money worrying. It's an early for me Craig has too much money to worry about here I've got I've got eight lectures to deliver of fairly technical material That I'm trying to make accessible to the lay public
Starting point is 00:52:19 It includes all the doctors and scientists I know and I'm being goaded on and encouraged by the people that truly understand my material. And they will be present. And that's a trippy thing to do. And they can't believe amongst themselves, these wizards from around the world, that someone would bring this material in this manner to this community,
Starting point is 00:52:44 to a lay community and I thought it was 10 it's 10 but the introduction in the closing like that it come on that's it okay it's trying to explain you know what I'm gonna do and and at the end what you might do with it. What would you do from here? Call her hot. Call her hi. Hey, you win the award for best caller already just because you stayed perfectly quiet for two minutes. I thought that's how we're supposed to conduct ourselves in society. You are awesome. Hey, this is Mike Dowl and some people told me I had a made up name last time, but nope, it's me I'm calling in.
Starting point is 00:53:32 I called him once before. I remember Mike. He was making it in as a function of my business. So, you know, if I can dial in midday or watch the show, I always listen to it after the fact. Anyway, my comment is a little delayed because you've moved on, but in observation of the COVID commentary
Starting point is 00:53:53 you were speaking on, as well as the election, I'm finding as I go through life, I didn't realize that each moment of every day I'm doing in firefighter parlance, I'm not a firefighter, but my dad's retired, my son is, they do a size up, right? And now as a function of the COVID debacle, as a function of the election, as I go through life,
Starting point is 00:54:25 this size up that I think we all do innately, every day, even involuntarily, like life is a layup now. You can like parse out where somebody stands and friend, foe, this, that. I just wanted to throw that that wrench into the for some dialogue. That's all kind of an observation. Nothing more.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Are you saying that every everywhere we go every new situation we're doing a size up as an evaluation and because we've had so many big events happen and you can see where people stand it's easier to do size ups. I'm saying yes as a function of the COVID situation, as a function of the election, as I marched through life, it's like everything has such clarity now. It's somewhat amazing. I know where people stand within my family,
Starting point is 00:55:20 within my love life, with all these things. And it's actually made life almost, dare I say, easier in some regards. Oh, Greg, you're muted. Greg, you're muted. You're about to say something great. Can't can't let you be muted. Go to. There we go. Okay. I fiddled with my eye.
Starting point is 00:55:41 I mean, no, it's a fun thing. It's fucked me up. Am I on? Yeah, you're on. You're good. Go ahead. Yeah. Mike, is this like the realization
Starting point is 00:55:54 that the woman behind the Prius is there's some assumptions you can make about her and about the chick in the F-150, and it would be foolish at this point to not expect that difference. Amen. Exactly. Yeah, I get that. It's like, it's been there.
Starting point is 00:56:15 It gets out of the F-150, I'm sexually- But the world is now clear. Yeah. It comes out of a Prius, and it's not going to work for us. I'm Clear yeah Gets comes out of a Prius. It's not gonna work for us. I'm sorry Uh, yeah, yeah, I mean listen, it's thrown a monkey wrench into my my own my own life A little bit, but I welcome the uh the clarity kind of it. It's been interesting Yeah, hey mike when I when I would go to the skate park Um in uh in the middle of the day at home school all the home school parents show up with their kids to the skate park in the middle of the day, in a homeschool, all the homeschool
Starting point is 00:56:45 parents show up with their kids at the skate park. As the cars pull up, and I'm the only man because most men are not doing that and it's women bringing their kids, but as the cars pull up, I think Greg maybe made this observation with me. That's how I learned it. The value of the car is going to be the hotness of the woman. So finally, when the fucking Escalade with blacked out windows 2024 Escalade pulls up, you can't see who's in it. But you
Starting point is 00:57:10 know she's going to be hot as fuck. And she's gonna be so much more attractive than the chick driving the shitty car. And it's because of the spouse she got right? And low it's a 10 out of 10, man. It's 100%. The chick that gets out of the Escalade is always just smoking. Some variety of smoking. That Christie Brinkley, Billy Joel, wasn't that? They were the couple, right?
Starting point is 00:57:39 And so you're playing- Yes, Long Island Zone, correct. Yeah, and you're playing with these weird variables because you could end up with his looks and her talent. Julia Roberts and some musician she was with, he was like weird looking. Remember that guy? No.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Yeah, that's a great observation. Yeah, my sense of the Eastern European Jews having a full standard deviation, higher IQ, it was reported than others. You can watch Fiddler on the roof and find out how that happened. is that when intelligence is sexy, people get smarter. Yes, interesting. Andrew Hiller told me once, do you want to know who has the hottest chick in the room? I go, who?
Starting point is 00:58:39 He said the guy on steroids. And I started noticing that. And you know, there's that component too The biggest buff is guy in the room as the fucking hottest chick and then also the richest guy in the room Yeah, there's a superficiality to it. Of course, of course. I was not suggesting yes, of course You know Jim Jordan thought I should put one of my dogs down because it didn't go with the others That's epic superficiality I'd give that the the great Oscar for back himself into my house and arranged 4000 books by size and color. I was so fucking mad at him. So his big green books, little green books, and then a stack of books I needed to get rid of. I wanted to throw them through the fucking window. You want to know the weirdest thing it didn't in the least bit hinder my ability to find a book. It was better than Dewey Decimal. I mean, it's a big book. It's right over here.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Hey, listen, you're gonna have to put that dog down. Why? It doesn't match. Yeah, yeah. He was on the cover of GQ. Right? Yeah, he's shot in the cover of GQ many times and in vogue. He shot a hundred of them. Yeah. Like they might have just put him on the cover out of love, you know, over the years. But what was that legit cover? Yes, he's done.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Oh, I don't know if he personally has been on the cover. That sounds familiar, but I know he shot every major magazine. Someone did you send it to me? Is it recently? Yeah, Kathy and magazine. Did you send it to me? Is it recently? Yeah, Cathy and Jimmy did. Someone sent it to me. It wasn't Jimmy. Let me see.

I appreciate the show. And I wanted to call in again. I was unimpressed by my ability to synthesize in a pressure situation my thoughts last time, and I'm not suggesting I did any better this time.
Starting point is 01:01:03 But it's kind of I'd like to keep calling in for that underlying reason. my thoughts last time and I'm not suggesting I did any better this time, but It's kind of I'd like to keep calling in for that underlying reason if nothing else Yes, please a practice practice on this show. So when you call in a bigger podcast, you don't fuck up. Thank you Now this is the best podcast. I love it. I love it. Have a great day gentlemen. Thank you so much So I want to share my Jim Jordan story. Please. He's a kid lived next door to me and he used to fucking take scissors to his sister's doll's hair and get beat for it.
Starting point is 01:01:37 And he always, he like, he knew he wanted to cut hair and he dropped out of high school and got my sister to drop out of high school and the two of them went to beauty school. Then he went to Joe Blasko's monster making school and did a bunch of shit. And he used to have chicks come over and he'd take, do their hair, cut their hair, do their makeup and take pictures of him. And I had a Pentax 35 millimeter camera and I was, I was, he got me to take pictures of him. And the people that came through his garage and had their hair cut
Starting point is 01:02:14 and their makeup done and pictures taken ended up some super models, some super talented Hollywood A-listers came out of that thing. And I so didn't enjoy it. I was thinking I was gonna get some pussy taking pictures maybe. And that clearly wasn't that kind of environment. And so, you know what I did? I just gave him my camera.
Starting point is 01:02:41 And this guy went on to shoot hundreds of vogue covers. I'll tell you what he's doing. He lives in Hidden Hills and you look out in his backyard and across the way and you can wave at Eddie Murphy in his pool. So Justin Bieber and the Kardashians. Everything came out great for Jimmy and he says it's because I gave him my camera. But I've he and I couldn't be less alike, which makes us perfect friends. We we share no attributes. But I really enjoy them. Can you remember the model's name he brought to dinner one time with us? She was just a little kid. Yeah, Taylor. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Rain. Taylor. Let me see if she likes girlfriend forever. Yeah. Taylor. Was it rain? I'm just gonna type in Taylor. Victoria's secret model. Taylor Hill. Taylor Hill, yep. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:45 He had, he discovered the, there was a point where the top guy, that dude from jail and her were both his discoveries. He saw the mug shot of the kid in jail and then went and visited him and signed him. And he was, he was on a photo shoot for some celebrity at a bed and breakfast like in Aspen when he saw her and said, how old are you? And she says, I'm 14. And he said, go get your mom.
Starting point is 01:04:23 And he went and got the mom. And then you know, she's the biggest model on earth. Wasn't she sweeping? She was working at like the like the family. He brought her to dinner and I was so annoyed by her. We had Haley go grab her and take her to bed. I remember that we went to we were at the mall. I think we were at the montage. Jim came. He had this kid with him who was like 14 and she was annoying and so Greg's like hey and my wife Haley was there and he's
Starting point is 01:04:54 like Greg's like Haley get this girl a room and put her to bed. Yeah it's the little girl's bed time. You sent her away and five three years later. I still would. Oh, yeah. I'd do that for Taylor Swift. It's bedtime, sweetheart. That was so funny when you did that. God, that was funny. Yeah, it was past her bedtime.
Starting point is 01:05:22 She didn't belong there. Right. She was it was like having your little kid at the table. It's like, what the fuck is going on here? It's exactly what it was past her bedtime. She didn't belong there. Right. It was like having your little kid at the table. It's like, what the fuck is going on here? It's exactly what it was. Wow, what a, what a, what a trigger. You know, at the same time I'm giving, I give Jimmy my camera, I tell, I tell Will, who's working at Vons, is a, is a box boy.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Like, you're smarter than this. This isn't a career choice. And he's wished I do it. I told him you need to go to college. And so I saw him six months later, he's like, I'm in college. What are you taking? And he's like, business and sociology. And I was like, no, not like that. Not that kind of college. You need to take like chemistry and algebra and shit. So next time I see me, he needs a little help. And so I help him with some algebra. And next thing I know, that fucker has left the junior college.
Starting point is 01:06:13 He's at UC San Diego. He majors in like chemical engineering and biochemistry, applies to a bunch of medical schools, doesn't get accepted and then gets a tip from a gal at UC San Diego Medical School, a black woman, that he needs to get out of California, go to Texas. He moves to Texas and he gets a job with a Nobel laureate as a lab aide, and two years later with a master's degree,
Starting point is 01:06:42 this is Will Wright, with a master's degree, co-authors a paper on transplant immunology, applies to a bunch of medical schools. They all take him quick as shit. And he ends up top student and then goes to the Cleveland Clinic, where he's chief resident in radiology, and then gets accepted to every interventional radiology fellowship that exists in the world. They all petition him to come there. And this is just telling a kid, you're better than a box boy, man. Yeah, he gives you, he tells the story the exact same way.
Starting point is 01:07:16 He said he was fucking bagging groceries. He says, I talked him out of business and now I'm filthy fucking rich and he's a physician in AIDS. Well, he's rich too. He's just not filthy rich. Yeah. He's a, he says you went into business and talked me out of it. I tell you what you want to get, you want to, you want to find success in business. It's going to have next to nothing to do. You like to study anything but business in school. Yeah. good point Hey, that's a crazy that's it that's that's such a wild story that you you talk to guy who is bagging groceries
Starting point is 01:07:57 Into going to medical school and now he's one of the best intervention Cardiac intervention radiologists that what is an interventional radiologist? Is that what it is? You see an interventional radiologist. In the world. There's surgery on TV screens with fishing line, maybe it's pushing through a hole in your leg. Yeah, I trust Will over anybody. Brain surgery.
Starting point is 01:08:18 Dude, my buddy here is getting the best care that Phoenix can possibly offer. Will's like, well, did they run a culture on that? And he's like, no. He's, oh, well, shit. Ask them why. So he does in a big meeting with a bunch of docs. How come he didn't culture that? And my doc says, oh my god, that's a good idea.
Starting point is 01:08:44 Yeah, Will's a good idea. Yeah, will be in wills like he goes, dude, if you're if you're in first year of medical school, and you don't realize that you're not going to make it. That is not it's not even like it's like the horse keeps getting out. What did you shut the barn door? Oh, yeah, fuck. It's that kind of thing. I think of wills one of the most competent humans in a chaotic scenario that I would want around. I'll take him in a gunfight.
Starting point is 01:09:15 We had a hotel in Copenhagen, which might've been my favorite stop ever. Remember that week? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And poor Haley ran into that glass thing. Yeah, broke her nose. That really wasn't her fault though. No, it was a dangerous setup. Yeah, remember they had, they closed, there was a concert downstairs in the lobby, so all of a sudden they closed all the glass doors. Do you remember, do you remember, uh, we, on your patio, um, Travis Bajent was smoking a joint or he was about to smoke a joint and it
Starting point is 01:09:51 dropped out of his hand and rolled into a crack. I was going to tell it. And then it fell onto the, onto the slatted flooring and we watched it almost falling, almost falling, getting closer, closer, falls in. And we show Will and with a sewing kit and some cardboard and something, he makes a joint retriever down this point. Yeah, that was crazy. All his interventional radiology pays off in one.
Starting point is 01:10:21 I thought that thing was gone. I was like, wow, that was amazing. It was pretty amazing how it disappeared. It was one in a million shot. It was like a hole in one. We're like, dude, what are you making? And he retrieved. A deeper deep retractor. Greg was in the presidential suite in this really sweet hotel. Huge, huge room. There's 10 people in there and it just feels like no one's in there. And one of the doors is propped open with like a, you know, a stack of like probably like $3,000. Four inch thick coffee table book is wedged under the door to keep it propped open. And Sammy comes in and we're like,
Starting point is 01:11:03 we get the key and he says, he goes, oh, that's Travis, that's some West Virginia shit right there. And then we hear bellowing out of the next one, hey, watch your fucking mouth. Sure enough, it was Travis. Riley can tell who the vandal is by looking at the vandalism.
Starting point is 01:11:23 Like which kid drew on the wall with the crayon on your house? Let me see, that's red for sure. Why is that? My eyes are poked out in most of the pictures, look. Oh shit. And he's like, you did that. She goes, yeah, I took a pen and poked the eyes out. Jody Lynn, so generous, Jody.
Starting point is 01:11:44 For Classic CEO Relaxed Tea, for Coach Glassman, Merry Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Thank you, Jody, wow. Very sweet. Are you, how are things at the house? Dude, I'm the only one here. I know, does it feel weird, like in a good way? You know, I mean, I'm the only one here. I know. Does it feel weird, like in a good way? Well, I mean, I really miss Maggie.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Hi, Maggie. I do. I know you do. Yeah. It's like a problem I have. But the downtime, the quietness, and the amount of stuff I'm getting done is cool. And are you spending a lot of time in the classroom right there?
Starting point is 01:12:29 Hell, yeah. And then I got I got Will coming out today. I just want to practice some delivery of some concepts. Oh, that's nice. That's very nice. It's it's important to teach our kids that probability is the rational logical measure of our uncertainty and doesn't inherit objects. It's not a property of matter. And why that matters is also complicated and kind of hard to get across, but it can be
Starting point is 01:13:00 done. And it's what we need to do to fix this unbelievable mess that is academic primary research. And it matters most of all because it's infected medicine. And it is like a fucking disease. The corpus of medical literature is infected with nonreplicable, nonreproducible, non-science. Infected with it. Ionati's estimate is 50% of it.
Starting point is 01:13:40 Entire fields, the bulk of it. Alzheimer's, cancer, it's nuts. It's a crisis of, the only thing that matches it would be the stain and damage of collectivism. But the universities ahead here, collectivism and collectivism. But the universities ahead here, collectivism and deductivism. Those are the two intellectual scourges of our era.
Starting point is 01:14:12 And they're both horrible. One stacks bodies like fucking cordwood, collectivism, creates unprecedented poverty, misery, death and the rest. And the other is costing millions of lives through the failed opportunity costs of a methodology that produces trusted results. Hey, Greg, at one point, I haven't heard you say this in a while, but at one point, you pointed to something that should have been like a big red flag to people. There was this Hey, Greg, at one point, I haven't heard you say this in a while, but at one point, you pointed to something that should have been like a big red flag to people. There was this, like, like, academic publications were like, you know, 100 a year, and now we're
Starting point is 01:14:56 at 100,000 a year or something. Yeah, the amount of that. Like, hey, what's going on here? This has got to be all bullshit. We made science, and you need to put big quotes on that. But we've created a high, high volume, low reliability, cheap product that makes a lot of money. And I don't see a fix.
Starting point is 01:15:27 And in fact, what I'm trying to teach is not, is I don't, I don't have any sense at all of how you fix the system, but I know how you could fix the individual and that's really no different for me than CrossFit was. There was no vision of everyone being fit. Right. Who you, I'll show you what it takes to be fit and you'll figure out right then, yeah, one person in five wants this.
Starting point is 01:15:52 New medical articles are appearing at a rate of at least one every 26 seconds. As if a physician were to read every medical journal published, they would need to read 5,000 articles per day Holy shit Now and that would say that's in 2010 this is from the Oman Medical Journal wrote this in 2010 Use anyone with interest in in the state of medical science Anyone with interest in the state of medical science ought to listen to and follow Richard Smith, who was 25-year editor of the British Medical Journal. I think it's the oldest
Starting point is 01:16:36 and maybe the most respected of medical journals. Marcia Engle, similar tenure at New England Journal of Medicine and trying to think of the Lancet guy's name. I heard you say it the other day. I was up too late last night or I'd have it, it's usually on the tip of my tongue. Horton, Horton from Lancet. So I've got long time editor of Lancet, long time editor of New England Journal of Medicine, and longtime editor of British Medical Channel.
Starting point is 01:17:10 Wow, listen to this. You can't trust anything that comes out, we're at a point now where you have to assume it's fraudulent or wrong unless you have clinical, powerful, empirical evidence to suggest otherwise. So not only can you not read all the literature, it would be a waste of your time to do so. What you need to do is develop a clinical intuition which you support with the literature that is consistent with what you're seeing empirically.
Starting point is 01:17:42 And that's my medical society's message. That was the message to the MD01. I'd get in front of the doctors and tell them, listen, you're not doing science. If you read a journal article, you believe what it says, you implement it, and you see with your own eyes in the clinic a different outcome. with your own eyes in the clinic, a different outcome.
Starting point is 01:18:10 Your obligation to science begins with empiricism. And that has to trump any fucking thing you read or are taught. And that is a hard- Or feel. Hard. Yeah, or feel. That's a hard lesson. It really is.
Starting point is 01:18:21 It's not one in 10 Americans that will will ever ever really take that to heart and be willing to learn things that they don't they don't they don't want to learn I mean why I wish that wasn't true. I asked someone the other day a liberal I said hey do you really think January 6 was an insurrection you think that they went there to take over the capital and overthrow the government like just be really honest with me let's just be really honest for a second you really think that and they go no and go, then what's your deal with it? And they go, it's the symbolism. It's how it made me feel. And
Starting point is 01:18:52 then we just heard that lady on the view say, the shot hurt me and I had a bad reaction. But I feel safer. Yeah, I'm, I'm more of the sense that the doors that place out of be locked with a hero boy and burned to the ground every 50 years. The Capitol? Yeah. He was-
Starting point is 01:19:13 Listen, they didn't give a fuck when our cities burned. Right, right, they did not. Yeah. They encouraged it, they abandoned the police station in Minneapolis, they encouraged it. That's not hyperbole, they encouraged it. I watched Obama and his attorney general they abandoned the police station in Minneapolis. They encouraged it. That's not hyperbole. They encouraged it. I watched Obama and his attorney general
Starting point is 01:19:33 fundamentally give the green light for the torching of Ferguson. I told every cop I knew, I'm so sorry. I just watched our attorney general make it okay to do you harm. Now one cop says, I didn't do that. Every cop knew. Every cop knew. Obama started a culture war against law enforcement. No one in law enforcement missed it. Not the black cops, not the yellow cops, not the red cops, not the white cops. Everyone saw it. I was telling Patrick Whalen yesterday,
Starting point is 01:20:31 this, I thought he'd appreciate this because he's, he's a poet and a Marine and an educator, that if in your time or place you have inordinate safety or wealth, over a few generations those people, inordinately safe, inordinately wealthy, they will become uncomfortable in the presence of the men that are capable of keeping someone else from taking it from them. that are capable of keeping someone else from taking it from them. I think this was Adam Walensky's motivation for the National Police Corps, which he patterned off something that Venice did long ago. And that was made cops of dentists and doctors and lawyers and tradesmen. of dentists and doctors and lawyers and tradesmen. I hate to be superficial, but those are all the narrow-shouldered, big-hipped, liberal
Starting point is 01:21:29 men in Washington that you're referencing to. They are uncomfortable in the presence of men who are capable of protecting the society. It's a trip. Yeah, it is a trip. Yeah, it is a trip. So I like there's people that think that we're gonna anger Putin into war. Full circle back to the nuclear thing. Yes, he's so much smarter. He's so much more dangerous than to be than someone that you could piss him off and they'd attack you.
Starting point is 01:22:07 He's not gonna do anything out of anger. He's as likely to do something out of anger as the current world chess champion is likely to do something out of anger on the chessboard to you. Don't confuse, you know what they did to Kasagi in the Turkish, in the embassy? Yep. None of that was done out of anger. Give him an injection, hold him down, he's dead now, cut him up, put him in little bags
Starting point is 01:22:45 and we'll leave with him. No one's second, there's no, what's there to be mad about? That was the Washington, I followed that story so closely. Me too. That was the Washington Post journalist, for those of you who don't remember, he went to the, he was called to the Turkish embassy in Saudi Arabia. To get a marriage license. Two G5s landed in Istanbul.
Starting point is 01:23:07 They chopped the dude up. I shouldn't be laughing. The Turks turned over to the U.S. intelligence. The surgeon working the bone saw singing to himself. Yeah, they have the audio recordings. Yeah, those leaked. I heard those. Those leaked. I was like, what do you sing to yourself? Why you're after you've murdered someone, you're sawing them up and putting them in court sized bags. Why did the Saudis he must have done something really bad that the Saudis would take a risk of just luring him into an embassy in a foreign country chopping them up and flying him out on G5. What was the risk?
Starting point is 01:23:48 I mean, it put who was president then it put a lot of pressure on the president then was it Trump? We were in China when the story was really getting heated. I remember. Yeah. God, I was so into that story. And his wife just kind of waited on it. The crown prince told her, I went, relax, this will blow over. Guess what? It blew over.

You think he just said something like, the crown prince has a small penis and he wrote that in the Washington Post and because of that he got killed?
Starting point is 01:27:22 Or you think that he was like some sort of double agent or he was involved somewhere? I would have to assume there was a faction of expats that were still important to him business wise and their family and friends that were fans of the column. And they probably sent several messages to him that like, this ain't cool. Didn't he, hadn't he taken his citizenship or something? But anyways, I mean, it's like, it's like Litvinenko or whatever his name was. I couldn't remember it last night either. The, the, the very expensive poison guy.
Starting point is 01:28:01 Yeah. You know, you piss Putin off and he's going to get you. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you piss Putin off and he's gonna get you. Yeah. Yeah. And not out of anger. Like the guy just plain blew up. Right. No, I think my sense of it, if we could hang out with Putin, that what you'd find is that all those things that the left would attribute to someone doing out of anger, he's doing it very calculatedly and he thinks it's funny as fuck, because it kind of is. I knew that Putin had killed Litvinenko,
Starting point is 01:28:44 I think I'm saying his name, right? Yeah, yeah. I knew he killed him. And my introduction to the story is I was in the airport in Atlanta and I saw Putin on CNN. And I didn't hear what he was asked, but the question, and it was something about Litvinenko's death. And you know what the fucker did?
Starting point is 01:29:04 He laughed and he says, you need to be very careful about who your friends are. And I said, holy cow, I'm listening to a murderer. I didn't even know what the details were. But it was clear to me, like you accuse someone of murder and they laugh and tell you he needed to pick better friends. pick better friends?
Starting point is 01:29:32 Hey, um, going going back to what you were saying about, about men, men being afraid to be around strong men, that kind of man, that kind of mindset, that kind of person. So the West would make fun of this guy, right? The shirtless guy on the horse. And then meanwhile, this is what this is what they're looking at. This is our general. Admiral Levine. And then all of a sudden the shirtless guy and the shirtless guy on the horse is funny, but like, hey, that's culturally his thing. This is just fucking mental illness. No one's accusing Putin of being mentally ill for riding his horse with his shirt off Seve put the picture of Putin on the horse or with the Tigers shirtless Yeah, juxtapose out with Obama on his bicycle smoking a cigarette
Starting point is 01:30:20 He he couldn't look more pathetic Or how about Biden crashing on his bicycle? Surrounded by Secret Service and being helped by an old lady back up. Did you see Jill flirting with Trump when it looked like Joe got up to change his diaper or something, but there's an empty chair between them?, and they're leaning across from each other talking. Yeah It's suck man. She she's a she's a really attractive woman. She needs to jump ship He looked like she was fucking Trump. Yeah, she did And and then she showed up at the voting to vote addressed in red
Starting point is 01:31:05 And so the people on Fox are going she fully voted for Trump And then she showed up at the voting to vote, dressed in red. And so the people on Fox are going, she fully voted for Trump after the Dems tossed out the old man. Did you see the story? He needed, Biden needs a Trump victory for his legacy. He looks so much better with Trump coming back than he does with Kamala in. Right.
Starting point is 01:31:31 See, if Kamala gets in and she's maybe the stupidest person to ever run for national office, maybe by a long shot. Or to teach a second grade class. She's a moron. Yeah, she's a... Imbasile. In some of the national TV said, she lives in dread fear of her dimness coming to light.
Starting point is 01:31:54 Right. So she even knows how stupid she is. But with her as president, the ruination of this country would be obvious and Joe would be blamed for not only starting the slide but picking her as a VP. And he gets to now step aside and say, I'm the only person that ever beat Trump. And so he needs Trump in and then he needs Trump to be a fuck up. Which is how to be reported. Watch as soon as Trump's in, there's gonna be a huge homeless problem that matters somehow, right? Right, right. It's always a homeless problem when there's a Republican. Yeah, when Republicans are in that the New York Times can't cover the homeless, seemed enough. Hey, years and years ago,
Starting point is 01:32:48 National Review did a LexisNexis search on the terms far left, far right, and ultra conservative and ultra liberal. And the extremes were attached to the conservative position like a thousand to one in all published material. I never even heard of far left when I was a libtard. It was just left and then the far right. There was no right.
Starting point is 01:33:19 There's no right. It's just all far right. Hey, I heard Jesse Waters reporting that after Pelosi and Obama got Biden to step down, they told him not to endorse Kamala. But as soon as he stepped down, 40 minutes later, he endorsed Kamala. And that there was a guy, John Kelly or someone that Obama wanted to have run for president. And that's why Obama waited three weeks or whatever It was before he endorsed Kamala and that that was Biden's way of like hey fuck you guys I'm gonna make this really messy for you. I don't know what the truth is
Starting point is 01:33:56 I don't know if there's any truth to it, but it's a fun story to believe And you know Jill's fucking bombed because it's gonna be a race to the bottom now for them I don't know how they are set up financially, but life's gonna change drastically for her When you when you look at the bribes they took none of them look substantial or worth it I would have thought it cost way more to bribe a US president I didn't think you could do something for a million bucks. You know what I mean? I thought like you could meet him for a million. I didn't know you could fucking have like him fire someone, the attorney general fucking country.
Starting point is 01:34:34 When you look at the financial upside for corruption in politics and in science, in politics and in science, it's always kind of hard to take in how little the return is. Like, wow, you did that for 10,000 fucking dollars? Yeah. Pat Lang, and I'm speaking freely here, Pat, but of course, here's why none of that makes sense, Salman. If Biden was actually that calculated, he would have never stepped down.
Starting point is 01:35:09 It's always his choice. I'm not suggesting there was a gun put to Biden's head and he was told, hey, step down or we're going to kill you. I told you before he stepped down how they were going to get him out. And all it takes is the donors aren't there. Or we're going to do the 20th. They were having money problems. And the big donors were done.
Starting point is 01:35:36 Or threaten his son. Or threaten his son. Or do, what's the amendment where you get? Well, you tell them that you know you fucked this up and you're not gonna be able to protect your son then there's the 25th amendment they could have told him hey right Pat there's other ways that was coming yeah so when you say step I don't disagree with you but I think that you're I don't think it's that black and white. Yeah, of course we'd step down.
Starting point is 01:36:06 We wouldn't have survived the loss of the party and a 25th amendment challenge spearheaded by his VP and all of the cabinet. And the DNC could get everyone he appointed to turn on. Please ask Greg what set of books he uses to teach his kids. You mentioned it before. I thought I saved it, but can't find it. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:36:29 I saw your DM, by the way. I'm all over the map on that. I think I've purchased everything that I can. I've kind of done a deep dive on various curricula. What's the critical thinking one, though, they're talking about? The critical thinking company's stuff I like best. And if I had to go with the publisher and use only their material that's exactly what it would be critical thinking
Starting point is 01:36:51 company and what I like about their material a lot of it's really creative in fact some of my favorite is by this guy and two books of his that are kind of cool right here. Geez, they have everything, man. Join our global community of critical thinkers, 70,000 schools, 120 countries, 36 million students. Hey, I got all that early reader stuff that my dad and I all got my little red storybook. But understanding fractions and fun time phonics are both written by this Robert Femiano.
Starting point is 01:37:38 And he's a gifted educator. His approach to fraction education is really good and his phonics is powerful too. But the publisher, the Critical Thinking Company, we got our hands on everything they've printed and it's hundreds of books and they're all outstanding. And so if you didn't know the material or what you wanted to teach quite or you really need that backup, and I think most people would and do, I would just buy their catalog
Starting point is 01:38:15 and it would have cost like two grand, something like that, Sebi. Yeah, I wanna say that. To get everything. Yeah. And it's amazing. What there is, the critical thinking company, everything is skill-based.
Starting point is 01:38:27 So you're learning how to do things, right? Yes. Reading comprehension material is outstanding. All this stuff, that's an amazing company. I flirted with buying them. I remember that. I remember that. I remember that. I just I just don't want to get I you know, the more I pester
Starting point is 01:38:51 them about it, the higher the price goes, right? Right. Hey, I want to I want to read something to you. Do you have time? Right? I just want to Yeah, I do. But I want to I want to add this to that about the critical thinking company. All of their all of their material, it's all skill based. And so my thought is, and I kind of put skills on a x-axis and knowledge on a y-axis. And it seems to me that people kind of get pegged to the ordinate or the abscissa, oddly, like there's the jeopardy champion, and they don't seem to have reasoning skills. And then there's the mathematician that doesn't know what state
Starting point is 01:39:36 he lives in. You can be absent-minded but high skilled and precocious as hell, but no thinking ability. And what I'm doing is we're just teaching skills, and then I contextualize them against facts. And so you need to be able to read and write about anything. But that requires you read and write what. And so the Western canon is how I contextualize it. And all these math, qualitative and quantitative skills contextualize it. And all these math qualitative and quantitative skills contextualize in applied sciences.
Starting point is 01:40:09 And so we're learning things through the skills we're acquiring and the emphasis is on skill above everything else. And you don't have to be homeschooling your kid to get those books. You can get one or two of those books and sit down at Breakfast with them what I would recommend also is get something that you know is gonna be easy for them below their skill level
Starting point is 01:40:32 Especially if your kids already in school and sit down with them and make the first book a slam dunk do a few pages a day Just sitting at the table One of the things I was talking with Greg about is I had this a kindergarten math book. And I went through it with my kid that it was way too easy for him, but I made it a reading book. He didn't know that I was teaching him to read. He thought we were doing math.
Starting point is 01:40:55 He even said to me, he's like, is this retard math? I said, yes. He said, oh, thanks. This is easy. But he didn't know. We went through the whole book, but it was just, I was tricking him just to read all the instructions and learn how to follow instructions and so there's tons of ways to skin a cat and don't don't not get those books if
Starting point is 01:41:09 you're not homeschooling your kids still get one make it fun for him reward them pat him on the back celebrate all his successes on the back of them they have some of the titles and what I would do is pick anything that seemed interesting to you share it with your kid work your way through it and then I would get another one from the same company, and I would make it on a different entirely different field. So I'd try and roll between the qualitative and quantitative
Starting point is 01:41:33 language skills and computational skills. And you won't go wrong. You can't miss. But they're reading comprehension stuff. It's Gnarly. Yeah. Yeah, like I mean you that they can that can be really really tough really tough It's even tough for me when they're doing the reading comprehension stuff. They're like, what's this? I'm like, oh god, I got to read this like four times before I can Like this is wrong. Why wouldn't it be the white kitten? And I'm reading and go, oh shit.
Starting point is 01:42:06 Right, right. Okay, how am I gonna explain this to you? You know, I mean, it's brilliant. Brilliantly done. You're making critical thinkers of people. Steven Dix, go ahead, go ahead, finish. I gotta share this. Yeah, please.
Starting point is 01:42:26 Kevin Killian, Is he Armenian? He's dead. Selected Amazon reviews. It's one of the more impressive, brilliant things I've ever read. This fucking guy over like 15 years pens, thousands of Amazon reviews. Most of them are five stars, but it ranges everything from fucking baby oil to the movie Casablanca. And they're brilliant. And he adds characters and it's all, it's, I don't know, you can't even draw the line between whether it's fiction or not. Because he speaks of a wife that he doesn't have and kids that he doesn't have, but he tells great stories.
Starting point is 01:43:08 And he said that in the review of some movie, he said that it was hugely improved. And maybe it was Casablanca or something, but he said that before he bought the movie, someone told him to get the Hepburnator. And you might not know what that is, but it will automatically remove Catherine Hepburn from any scene she's in in a movie.
Starting point is 01:43:29 And it was one of the best purchases he ever made. And Amazon got crushed with people looking for the Hepburnator. But he says that watched with the Hepburnator utility that Casablanca became the best movie ever made. And I was just like, and this is five stars, right? Is there really such a device that takes it? No.
Starting point is 01:43:51 OK. Yeah. No. No. Another one, another one, he says he tried, he wanted to get a book. And you can just open it up anywhere. And it's just delightful.
Starting point is 01:44:02 But he ordered a book. And it was, and what came was a similar title. And he explains it. But this it's just delightful. But he ordered a book and it was, and what came was a similar title and he explains, but this is what I got and I really wanted this and a completely new subject. Then he gives this like, like, like 2000 word review that's brilliant on the fucking wrong book you got. That's awesome. Hey, they're all sorry. are they're all his reviews? Yes. And they're really, they're all on Amazon. Yes. Yeah, that's awesome.
Starting point is 01:44:29 And the books in Amazon run away seller now. And the discussion like, what is this self publishing? And of course you wanna review that book, right? Yeah. The reviews across products, buddy. I mean, and it's over a million words. This guy chose that medium to flex extraordinarily powerful
Starting point is 01:44:53 and creative writing muscle. And it's one of the cleverest, and I told Emily, I'm rarely jealous of a writer. This guy, I am. Wish I'd thought of that. What a great platform. And you've got it, before anyone bought the book,
Starting point is 01:45:12 they'd seen the reviews. You know what he caused the Amazon to do? They had their top 100 reviewers, and he was like number four. They eliminated that whole list, and they're no longer celebrating their reviewers. Oh, really? Yeah, and a lot of it is anti Amazon shit, right?
Starting point is 01:45:27 It's funny. He's like anytime he mentions Amazon Prime. It's like here it goes, right? Hey, how are you on time? Do you need a pee break or anything? I got a couple Okay. Um Thank you Greg for CrossFit has changed my life. What blood test would Greg recommend on a yearly basis? I'm 55 years young in the United Kingdom, PSA, Hb, A1c, etc. You know, if you, I'm not going to recommend any of them, but I know that if you look at inflammation and you have, I know serious people do this, you find someone that can give you a EPA
Starting point is 01:46:07 to arachidonic acid test. And that will speak clearly to inflammation. A1C for sure. And what's the other one? Triglyceride to HDL ratio. If you make any one of those numbers pretty, the other two will be pretty. And if you don't eat excessive carbohydrate or refined carbohydrate, you'll get that there too without any test. And so when Cedars told us that not many people I knew would get the EPA to arachidonic acid level at one, and so we donated Jimmy Letchford, he got a one.
Starting point is 01:46:59 Which is consistent with the claim that there'd be no inflammatory processes underway. Yeah, I didn't, you know, eat right and exercise and don't go to the doctor and don't get your blood tested. There may be a chance that you may be there may be there may be a higher chance of being diagnosed with something that you don't have than something you do have. something that you don't have than something you do have. Diagnosed is a really weird, hard word. If you're not gonna do something about your blood pressure, then I have to nod to your antihypertensives. If you're gonna keep your blood sugar sky high, I understand why your doctor doesn't
Starting point is 01:47:45 want you eating salt. But the salt's not your problem. The problem is your elevated blood sugar. And your elevated blood sugar through the insulin's inhibition of aldosterone prevents the kidneys from pulling the sodium out of your fucking system. And as soon as your blood sugar drops, your urine becomes salty. And we have a different problem. I've got this problem of orthostatic hypotension. You've been zoning or paleoing or carnivoring, pick your fucking strategy for a carb restriction, but you get up in the middle of the night to head to the bathroom and you fall, we saw that.
Starting point is 01:48:35 If you cut your blood sugar, you better make sure you're getting some salt in your diet. If your blood sugar is too high, the salt's poisoning you now. And other processes are underway that are killing you. That's a great, David, we just pointed out a great example of using your own discernment. So I sit around and tell you for two hours a day how smart I am. And then I say something like, hey, is the Heponator real?
Starting point is 01:49:06 And then you can be like, well, Sevan's lying to us. Don't trust my words, watch my actions. That great, great example. Thank you, Mr. Weed. Okay. Let me tell you what my station in life is now. I get to explain the works of people much, much more intelligent than I am,
Starting point is 01:49:27 where there's a critical need for their work being introduced to the lay public. And it looks like I'm going to be capable of doing something that the people that originated the material weren't able to do. The likes of Anton Garrett and Jim Franklin and those folks, they can't believe that I want to do this. First of all, that someone would want to do it and that I'm actually drawing people around and that it's happening. They're in absolute amazement. I'm also trying to communicate. You remember my father's horrible lecture on p-values at CrossFit Health? Yeah. My solution to
Starting point is 01:50:11 that is that this is very, very important and what we need to do is we need to we need to correct our children's education beginning at the fourth grade. And the things that I want to teach fourth graders I'm going to teach on this weekend of January. And you can that I'd wanna teach fourth graders, I'm gonna teach on this weekend of January. And you can see some of it here. I mean, I'm just playing with how many different versions of the probability of A given B is not the same as the probability of B given A.
Starting point is 01:50:37 And you can stumble across actually created derivation, therefore a proof of Bayes' theorem. And I can do this with children, with children. It's so cool that my kids instinctively understand the difference between the probability of it raining, given that it's cloudy, and they'll tell you, well, it's cloudy a lot, but it doesn't rain much,
Starting point is 01:51:01 versus what is the probability that it's cloudy, given that it's raining? Rhett goes, it never rains without clouds. So one of them is low, one is high, they're not the same, right? And yet that exact error is at the heart of our replication crisis. And that is this jump from the probability of the evidence given a hypothesis to the probability of a hypothesis given the evidence, just magically claiming that. And how widespread is it? It's fucking almost universal. It's a disease of jurisprudence. The prosecutor's fallacy. Look
Starting point is 01:51:42 it up. And I could teach, I could start at the fourth grade and by the eighth grade, there's no way you do that. And by the 12th grade, you'd be able to lecture on it. Explain to your doctor why it is that your bad mammogram still only has a 7% chance of being anything of significance. Emily's just torturing doctors with that. You think a doctor can go through his whole career and no one point that out to him? I think they can. Yes. Completely oblivious. Yes. If you look at the fallacy of the inverse
Starting point is 01:52:17 or confusion of the inverse, the Wikipedia article, they reference a study where 95 physicians were given the, you know, binary diagnostic standard sensitivity specificity for a test and a condition and of the prevalence of the condition and asked what the odds are of the patient having the condition on the positive and 90, it was more than nine out of 10. And it was 100 physicians. They almost entirely, the whole mess of them got it wrong. It's almost like going to a martial arts academy for 20 years and not being able to beat anyone
Starting point is 01:53:04 up after you get out It's like being a physician that doesn't know that for 20 years or 30 years. It's like my Remington pop positive for cystic fibrosis And of course you shit your pants And I so immediately I know because I'm teaching this stuff. I find the positive predictive value and finance. It's around 5% So that means 95 people are told that k-dyscystic fibrosis and and you know a hundred are told and five do and 95 don't Our friend Katina says
Starting point is 01:53:41 Ignore all that shit. She goes you're not that lucky There's only a hundred ten fifty thousand people in the world with that shit, you know, you're not that lucky. There's only 150,000 people in the world with that shit. You're not, you're not, you're a lucky man, but not like that. It's a funny thing. What's the, why do it that way? What's the value in that? Well, you wouldn't believe the genetic screening that they want us to do now. Getting inundated. They're gonna spend thousands of dollars sending me shit trying to get me on the hook to, you know, just in postage
Starting point is 01:54:16 for a disease with no effective treatment. Right. The kid before that was told she had incontinence of pigmenty. Went home and cried, looked it up, couldn't believe it. What is it? It's a genetic defect. A fucking horrible thing. It's like the physician that told me cried when he told me, gave me his home phone number and his cell phone number. You guys, this is going to be hard to bear, but we'll talk, you know, I'm here for you. It was all bullshit. He didn't have shit.
Starting point is 01:54:55 Two kids in a row in a three-year period, both diagnosed with worst-case scenario diseases. And by the way, Reason does not have incontinentia pigmenti. Perfectly fine, oh boy, would we know by now. Fuck, that's gnarly. It's the system, man. Hey, that was like a friend of mine who is- Hey, when that moron shot the United Health Care guy. Yeah, I I knew why immediately in the things I'm justifying it, you're
Starting point is 01:55:34 fucking stupid. He deserves the full force of whatever the law can do to him. I put Luigi at Rikers with the P Diddy. Right. Perfect. You know, his parents are fucking filthy rich. You know, we were just in Baltimore taking a little tour of Baltimore with a Baltimore SWAT cop farmer, great guy. and Jordan, super dude, crossfitter. And he was taking us into the bad areas. Then we went to the good part. And the good parts
Starting point is 01:56:13 fucking cool. Yeah. And right till he gets to the good part, it's like Miami, like the, in that neighborhood we were at in Miami, it's gate guarded, but anyone can go through. You pull up the gate raises and lowers, and your picture's taken, right? Right. And but as soon as you get in, at every intersection there's a cop car with the lights on.
Starting point is 01:56:36 And we had several nights cop car in our driveway of this rental on the water. And you get five, six cars flashing red and blue in your neighborhood on the corners and there'll be no crime. Right. It's like a, it's like a bug zapper of the ultimate efficiency, you know, his parents are rich from health, from healthcare, the healthcare industry. I think his parents don't like nursing homes and shit. They've probably been telling them the truth about the disease economy. You know,
Starting point is 01:57:15 Trump wanted this full disclosure thing that the hospitals had to tell what they share, what they bill and what they're paid by insurance. And there was no facet of healthcare that didn't fight that. The big secret is, is that your insurance claims that they paid $2,000 of your $3,000 MRI, but what they really paid was $200. Right. And you think, thank God I got insurance
Starting point is 01:57:47 because I never could have afforded these bills when in fact your copay and your premiums cover the costs of your treatment. You know how the insurance companies make their money? Where? It's their investments with your premium. So you give them money and they run to the market with it. They put it in Vanguard. And by the time you get paid that delta between what you've paid them and what Vanguard return easily, easily covers your expenses. If everyone in the community pays $10 a month to make sure that their house is covered if
Starting point is 01:58:35 it catches on fire, and the guy that's collecting the $10 a month eventually has the nicest house that's ever been seen in the town. People don't realize that you on average, you're you. We all pay our medical bills whether you give it to the insurance company first or not. And what better way to tell you that it was more expensive than it really was so that you feel good about it? Oh, it's, it's brilliant. Yeah. And it's a well-kept secret. I couldn't figure out how it was that this deadhead, freaky fucking doctor that's got
Starting point is 01:59:21 the little exam table with the stirrups going on and a dead, grateful dead paraphernalia in the door. And it's like, it was like a 10 foot by 10 foot office. He came recommended to us as the best internal medicine guy in private practice. And like, as soon as we got in here, man, he's like, you're gonna look at my pussy in here. She was like, if we need to, we can pull the blinds down and it was like your teenage, your 35 year old lives at home son's room and he had this big shock of gray hair. And then I started looking and like the guys I see on the walls, I can tell he's faculty at UC San Diego, internal medicine. He says, not only that I sit on the medical quality assurance board when doctors get their license taken away.
Starting point is 02:00:06 I'm one of the five guys that does that. Oh, that's crazy. So I'm like, wow, you know? And he goes, it's a great system here. He goes, look, you gotta sort of throw, use your iPhone, take a picture in the mirror and text it to me. Yeah. And I'll hook you up with the CVS, it's cheap.
Starting point is 02:00:23 And he says, if you need an MRI with your insurance, I'll send you up with the CVS. It's cheap. And he says, if you need an MRI with your insurance, I'll send you over to Scripps, but we'll have to wait two weeks, three weeks, and it's going to cost you $1,000, and they're going to be billed, it's going to cost you $1,000 copay on a $3,000 MRI. He goes, I can send you over right now and it's gonna cost you $200 cash. And I just assumed it was some crooked thing where he was doing some backroom bullshit, you know? Yeah. Like he knows the MRI tech
Starting point is 02:00:58 and you come in the back door, special knock and they let you in and sneak you in and they're ripping off the hospital. No, it's not that, they only get $200. When I told my dad that, he says, you in and they're ripping off the hospital? No, it's not that. They only get $200. I told my dad that. He says, you know why they're happy with $200? You go, why? He goes, because it doesn't cost them three cents to make that image. The machine's been paid off so long ago that it's really, it's just,
Starting point is 02:01:18 it's a burst of electricity. It costs more to run your hairdryer. It's crazy. So it's like getting $3,000 every time you flip the switch. You can't you can only get 200. But we'll tell you it was 3000. So you feel good about your premiums. I'll never forget when I had a urinary tract infection, I was probably my 20s and I like it fucking I was peeing glass at 3 in the morning went to John Muir medical Went in there I was out in and out in two hours They put a needle that was this long in my ass like to my hip bone I felt it like hit the ladies like hey
Starting point is 02:01:58 This is gonna feel like nothing you've ever felt before put it up against like the bone there Injected it in and I was out and I was healed and the bill came was 15,000 bucks two hours I was in and out oh this something sounds wrong with the phone hello hello the Hello, hello Hello Hey talk. Hey, hey you there. Yeah So, uh, this is dusty, um We've been talking right about my wife having our baby three months early in the hospital We got her
Starting point is 02:03:03 Delivery bill the other day. And we have a bill share, so it's not insurance. It was just a conglomerate of people that we pay each other's bills, right? So we're a cash patient. The cash bill we got was $2,000. The itemized bill that they would have charged insurance was $33,000. The itemized bill that they would have charged insurance was $33,000. You should give a plug for your plan. By name, I would. I'd be proud of that. Samaritan Ministries.
Starting point is 02:03:44 Samaritan Ministries? Yes. Yeah. American ministries. Samaritan ministries? Yes. Yeah, good. You only hear good things about those plans and they're all Christian based and you know what's so cool? I like the way they promote them. They got a guy that talks like I talk.
Starting point is 02:04:00 You know, it's not that. Does CrossFit have one of those now? Is that the same thing CrossFit's doing now? CrossFit has something where you pay 55 bucks a month and if someone gets hurt in the plan, everyone ponies up an extra 155 bucks or something weird. I wonder if it's similar. Nice. So you love it. You recommend it. What did you call it? The Samaritan what? Samaritan Ministries. I 100% recommend it. Yeah, that's cool. And is there a monthly? We're going into it. Is there a monthly? Yeah. Yeah, so somebody else like breaks a leg, right? Yeah. It depends on how many people in
Starting point is 02:04:34 your family. We pay, I think, $500 a month for a family of four now. And then when you had a baby, it only cost you $2,000? It cost us $500, would have been our share for that month. Oh, okay. So I see what you're saying. So no matter what, you just pay $500 a month. You had a baby, the baby only cost $2,000, but you didn't have to pay that because you pay that monthly $500, but you're saying that that same bill through an insurance would
Starting point is 02:05:03 have been $30,000? Correct. Wow. Okay okay I get it and I can't wait I can't wait to get the bill for the 76 days in the NICU how do you know that who where'd you get the information that would have been 30,000 they wanted an itemized receipt they sent that with the insurance prices on it. How's it? Go ahead. Baby's doing great. He's not a little bit oxygen, but he's home and sucking on the titties and being a baby.
Starting point is 02:05:39 Oh, that's awesome. I love hearing the sucking on the titties. That is so good. It's a complete breast milk baby. That's all the baby eats. Yep. Oh dude, you're stoked. Congratulations. Tell your wife, congratulations. You guys did it. Good job. Absolutely. But going back to that, apparently it was in a maybe the Obamacare bill that insurance companies could maybe the Obamacare bill, that insurance companies could only profit 10% of what they pay out. And they'd be completely wrong on that. So how do you generate more revenue? You pay out more.
Starting point is 02:06:22 So the hospitals and the insurance companies are all in on it together. I mean, hell yeah, the hospitals are like, we'll build a little bit more. No problem. These companies make more. Yeah they're never gonna take a loss. Hey that's the big problem. That's gonna be the big thing with the Trump presidency by the way. The thing is what we have cannot be fixed. It has to be taken down. You saw that Obama tried to do a fix and they just work around it. The system we have is broken. It's not our bicycle has a flat tire and we can have a put a new tire on it. It's just the ground we're riding on is not conducive to bike riding. I saw this on Fox the other day under Obama or since Obamacare. the the uh and this is from Gallup the the number of Americans that are happy with their health care went from 71 to like 42.
Starting point is 02:07:16 Yeah that's that's what a fixed Obamacare was. By the way you warned us of that I remember when I first started working at CrossFit in 2006, you used to say, you used to talk about, hey, the health industry is in trouble. It was a steady drumbeat. You'd be like, hey, dude, your health is more important than you think for all the reasons we're talking about. It's just that the services are going to plummet to help you anyway other than you helping yourself.
Starting point is 02:07:41 You were always saying that. I remember the Obamacare shit, you were like, oh fuck, it's a race to the bottom. Hey, thanks for calling. Jeff, I'm good. Thank you. Someone was speaking yesterday on some show on Fox of the quality of healthcare in the National Health Service in Great Britain. And the reporter just jumped on this guy's throat, saying that her stepmother suffered
Starting point is 02:08:14 with a urinary tract infection in Great Britain for 18 weeks before being able to see someone. Oh, I don't know how you would do that. One hour of it. Imagine that. One hour of it. Imagine that. If you've never had one, it's like peeing glass. It's the worst feeling of all time.
Starting point is 02:08:32 I would have done anything. I would have given them my car, like my arm to cure me. Yeah, that's insane. By the way, to put in context of what we were talking about with Dusty, if you don't have kids, you don know this but as a parent one of the greatest things you can see in A newborn is them eating healthy food and shitting as long as your kid is breastfeeding and pissing and shitting You're like that's like the ultimate litmus test as a parent I can't tell you how happy it makes any parent feel to see their kid eat and then defecate
Starting point is 02:09:04 As long as they're doing that you're like, yeah, we're good. Uh, Matthias Porter. Oh, sorry. Were you going to say something to that, Greg? Um, yeah, I saw glycation and we got to talk about that for sure. But, uh, uh, this is Maggie and I's fifth baby and the milk production on the carnivore diet is, is absolutely breathtaking. It's fucking amazing. Oh, that's cool. I mean, the milk drops and both titties are just spray with no stint.
Starting point is 02:09:34 I literally just squirt. Oh, that's good. Send me a video, please. Mathias Porter. Hey, Greg. I was looking into glycation and A-G-E-S. I don't know what that is. Do you know what that is? Yeah. And our
Starting point is 02:09:46 It's glycated end product. OK. An article said that meat and nuts are high in AGES, meaning to stay away from them is such an article misleading. I think it is. Look, it's like cholesterol. The cholesterol that's being produced by the food, I think it is. Look, it's like cholesterol. The cholesterol that's occluding arteries
Starting point is 02:10:12 is endogenously produced. It's not the cholesterol you're eating, it's the cholesterol you're manufacturing. And that's a what,G what is a I forget the I forget the I forget the molecules name. It'll come to me if I if I don't want to know it. But it's a I'm not I'm not worried about about eating glycated products. And maybe I should be, but I'm not. I'm worried about that process undergoing in my body. And that is the covalent bonding of sugar to protein.
Starting point is 02:11:00 And I would believe that at the point that it's a advanced glycated end product that it has lost the ability to glycate. I mean, end product kind of says that. And I don't want those things forming in my brain. And I don't want my blood cells glycating to the point where the insulin molecule has trouble conforming to the receptor site. And I don't want that loss of cell membrane motility through glycation.
Starting point is 02:11:33 I don't want it killing the vasovasorum that feed the arteries of my heart so that my artery has to lay down plaque to keep the artery from dissecting. I believe that the whole of the atherosclerotic deposits in calcification and placking, I believe that that's gonna be seen eventually as a protective mechanism for an artery that's lost blood supply. And that would make heart disease and diabetes fundamentally the same issue.
Starting point is 02:12:06 Damn. Did you ever have the sickness bad? I had a bad. Did you ever lose your voice like I did? You know, some I've got a headache that I recognize. And a cough that I recognize. I think I've got the COVID again. Yeah, I assume I have the COVID too.
Starting point is 02:12:25 I lost my voice when I was in high school once with like streps, and then I lost it, what I'm assuming was COVID a couple years ago, and then I lost it again on our trip. What I do is I have the person that gave it to me get tested, and then the people I give it to, they can go back. And I'm pretty sure if I hung out with you and I got sick and you tested and then one of my kids gets it and we have them tested, yep, I got COVID. It's weird how it manifests different.
Starting point is 02:12:52 Ari has a stomach ache, you have a headache and I lost my voice. I feel you though. I don't feel like my energy supplies are down. I think we're seeing in my family the same bug is given some people respiratory and others vomiting. Yeah. And I'm sympathetic because I could, I feel a little of that, but not enough to puke. Okay I want to read this to you here. This is from Matthew Boudreaux's Instagram. He's the guy from, he has those
Starting point is 02:13:33 cool schools, fuck I can't remember the name of them, where the kids run the schools, right? That your schooling is to be, have a job at the school and run the school, right? I forget the name of it. You would know it. I know that Metfix and BSI have talked to these people and had good interaction, but he writes this. This is George Orwell. George Orwell is trying to reveal a 1944 letter, why he'd write 1984. There is the fact that the intellectuals are more totalitarian in outlook than the common people. On the whole, the English intelligentsia have have opposed Hitler but only at the price of accepting Stalin most of them are perfectly ready for dictatorial methods secret police systematic falsification of history etc. So as long as they feel that it is on our side and And the key words there are feel and our side.
Starting point is 02:14:25 And I'm just like, it seems to completely explain the Trump derangement syndrome. They're willing to accept anything as long as they feel like it's on their side. Anything. Anything. Anything, anything. You've heard all you need to hear when you witness trumped up charges to imprison a man as a necessary step to protect democracy. Otherwise, he'll get elected president. democracy, otherwise he'll get elected president.
Starting point is 02:15:10 I mean, like just, you know, I'm good. Now I get it. I fully get it. I've got I've got Karl Popper in the same position, by the way. He just confronted with an absolute perfect inconsistency and contradiction. He describes it as a problem and then attributes a solution to it that comes from his will where he says that it is what it isn't and it's done. And he actually says, and that's that in German. It's amazing. It's an amazing thing right there. I found also one of the academic guys saying that it was a locatos, saying that there should be a voting in scientific affairs just as there are in man's other affairs, just openly calling for consensus. By the way, our system of government was designed to protect us from the intrusion of religion
Starting point is 02:16:32 into matters of state from majorities. And it doesn't include imprisoning the opposition's candidate. It comes about through the limiting of what the state can do. I just made a note that that needs to be clipped. Buckley describes socialism as A and B deciding what C should do for D. And the process is perfectly democratic. And it threatens every one of your liberties. And you know you're talking to a poorly educated weak thinker in proportion to the focus and attention they give to democracy. in proportion to the focus and attention they give to democracy. All these people are democracy, protect democracy, save democracy, we're going to be less democratic, all those are all fools.
Starting point is 02:18:04 And in their ranks are the very people that want to take your liberty and really don't give a fuck about democracy or how it's done. It was give me liberty or give me death. It wasn't let me vote or kill me. And these are things we can explain to our children. And we didn't for a few generations, and we're gonna pay dearly for it. It's time to get back up and say the Pledge of fucking Allegiance. And if you don't know why,
Starting point is 02:18:37 I'll tell you why we're doing it. And until you would rather die than be a slave, you're at risk of enslavement. You know, some people feel safety being slaves. I can almost every time I see someone defending something, you know, the phrase I like to use is they're afraid they're afraid they're defending the plantation because they like the nursery. Here you are in the plantation. Hey, what are you gonna do tomorrow? I think I'm gonna pick cotton. Yeah, yeah, it's makes it kind of straightforward. Yeah, you have security Did slaves get did they get weeks off were there vacations and shit no Was it seven day a week stuff
Starting point is 02:19:39 Not not only that but the argument from the the argument from the south Was is that the North lacked compassion, because if you let the slaves free, they would die. They would perish on their own. It's the same mentality currently coming from the left. If we don't take care of these fucking idiots, they don't know how to use a computer, they'll die. If we require an ID, they won't be able to vote.
Starting point is 02:20:02 It's all out of compassion. It's not none of it's sincere. Or true. Correct. There's there's there's such an abundance here. No one's no no no one dies here in the United States. There's such an abundance. We just had someone on the show the other day was talking about you can go behind any
Starting point is 02:20:20 supermarket still to this day. First thing in the morning, pull out some of the best food in the world That's still fucking wrapped in plastic And not only that everything's free in San Francisco anyway Mike Sandone I had a private insurance plan before Obamacare December 12th at December 2012 It was 495 for my wife my six-month-old son and me January 3, January 2013. One month later, it was $1,595 and my son had to have maternity care covered. That same thing happened to my sister.
Starting point is 02:20:53 It basically just, and it fucked all the poor people. Let's see what happens. I think we have some better leadership. It was funny how jovial and friendly the Bidens were with a's the biggest thing. I think that's the biggest thing. I think that's the biggest thing. I think that's the biggest thing. I think that's the biggest thing. I think that's the biggest thing.
Starting point is 02:21:34 I think that's the biggest thing. I think that's the biggest thing. I think that's the biggest thing. I think that's the biggest thing. I think that's the biggest thing. I think that's the biggest thing. I think that's the biggest thing. You know, we ran a good housekeeping article where they went and interviewed Hitler in like 35 or whatever. Do you remember that?
Starting point is 02:21:50 We put that on CrossFit.com. Yeah, I remember. That did not go over well. I liked it. Dude, they were talking about how wonderful he was. Finally, we have an artist as a world leader and explained it like, Gerbils is a poet and Hitler paints and he's a great cook and he loves dogs and children.
Starting point is 02:22:10 Yeah. They were celebrating their bohemian nature. It was the jazz age. We finally got a cool, you know, it was like, it was like you put, shit on any celebrities, but Saying slaves have Sunday off is like saying prisoners have Sunday off. He just just shut it Trish That's all right. No, but not from not by me. Not right. It was it was 1.7. Here's another mistake from not by me. Not right. It was 1.7. Here's another mistake. Not everyone owned a slave. Like you didn't go up to everyone's house and like some black lady answered the door. It was 1.7%
Starting point is 02:22:51 of the U.S. population owned slaves. It was a very small amount. Slavery made my family's life hell. Yeah. Kept them in poverty. And they weren't enslaved. they couldn't afford slaves. And so they had to compete against goods and services conducted by people that had no choice but to do it. And the non-slave-owning South, like the Baptists, were eager to see slavery ended. Eager. It forces a reality on farmers of subsistence level farming because there is no market where you can compete against someone who's growing tomatoes with slaves.
Starting point is 02:23:41 Right. You're not going to get your tomato to market. The best you can be able to do is eat it. And in fact, it forced an alliance between my mother's family and the Traylor family. They were their last name. And we, my family worked alongside them for multiple generations. In fact, Sammy and I were friends. Fanny was my mom's friend. Fanny's mother was my grandmother's friend.
Starting point is 02:24:10 And they lived together on the same piece of land, and they sharecropped jointly. That is, they farmed some acreage, 10% of which they were allowed to keep for themselves. And it wasn't to get it to market. So it took the trailer family, these six or eight kids, and my grandma and grandpa's eight kids, and all the adults working, you know, farm and cattle to feed themselves. And they had everything. They lived nicely
Starting point is 02:24:48 in terms of food, and they were healthy. But it was, there was nothing, if your kids didn't go into college, they were kind of fucked. Meaning they'd be tilling the earth. Well, you, the system can't expand. We're not, you know, we're not going to get more land. My grandparents didn't become landowners until they had a son go off to medical school. And then a second son become a chemist.
Starting point is 02:25:22 Another son become a physician. And it was from there that the family was able to get its hands on a couple of hundred acres. All right, when am I gonna see you next? No, sooner than later. No, I think I'm gonna see you before then okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna come around I've got this This I'm gonna run down to Costa Rica on Sunday and come back like Wednesday or something with them all and then we've got Aunt Rosemary's party and that gets me back here on the 22nd. I think shortly after Christmas, I'm gonna hightail it to Santa Cruz.
Starting point is 02:26:09 Good. So I think what we were planning on meeting up on Christmas the day after Christmas, you and I had talked. Yeah, so I blocked off basically the 26th to the 34th, which will be January 3rd or whatever. So I went from, I don't know if I mentioned this in the show or not. It's all a blur, but I went from Scottsdale to LA, LA to London, London to Marrakesh, Marrakesh to London,
Starting point is 02:26:39 London to Charlotte, Charlotte to Miami, Miami to Baltimore, Baltimore to Scottsdale, Scottsdale to Atlanta, Atlanta back to Scottsdale in a 12, 13 day period. It's crazy. It's nuts. And then you were supposed to go to Costa Rica yesterday, but you didn't. Yeah. You pulled the rip cord. Yeah, I got sick.
Starting point is 02:27:03 Well, you got shit to do you got to prepare Hey, she she would have thought I was faking if they didn't get sick She didn't want to go I we actually we've traveled enough now that Maggie doesn't want to go anywhere So I'm really excited. We're like canceling trips Yeah, bring the family out here dude, I actually I guess it's hard to leave Arizona in the winter. I'm gonna get my bus. Oh, good. That'll be ready in another month or so. Hey, I don't think it started snowing yet in Tahoe either. I would take this. Yeah. four wheel drive. Oh, it is?
Starting point is 02:27:45 Yeah. That's where it's at right now. It's getting a modest lift and it's getting four wheel drive. Oh, wow. Hey, we're using the federal government standards for the busing they provide for the in-week up in the Arctic region of Alaska.
Starting point is 02:28:02 Oh, that's awesome. And so we just, I'm making the same bus. One of these buses rolled end over end to this at a ski resort down at 1500 foot gorge and not a single window popped out. Everyone in it got hospitalized, but all with non-life threatening injuries. Wow. Yeah, that's pretty cool, huh?
Starting point is 02:28:20 Yeah, that's very cool. That's crazy. Yeah, it's one of the safest vehicles on the road. Wow. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah, that's very cool. That's crazy. Yeah, it's one of the safest vehicles on the road. It's so safe that NHTSB doesn't require seat belts.

Bye everyone. Thank you. Thanks Greg. I'll talk to you later today. All right, dude. Ciao. Greg Glassman. Great show. Wow. That blue by two hours and 25 minutes. I will be back in 90 seconds. I'm going to give a dissertation on the phrase living rent free in someone's head. Like to'd like to hear that, I will be doing a free service to all people on the internet.
Starting point is 02:29:09 Because of CrossFit, I've been able to become a mom, and that's not something I ever expected to do. A random atriosis diagnosis is different, but there was a time in my life where it was really bad. I couldn't bring groceries in without being in pain. I couldn't hold my husband's hand without triggering chronic nerve pain. I gave up that dream of becoming a mom because I knew that with endometriosis I was going to struggle with fertility and didn't want to risk being that kind of mom that wasn't present
Starting point is 02:29:45 physically for my daughter when those inflammation flare-ups happen. And me and my husband went through the process of grieving and accepting that. The main priority was like my quality of life and can I manage the inflammation and not be in pain. I actually started CrossFit as like last resort because the other options of surgery or Narcotics it just didn't sound like a viable solution for me without Accepting some of the long-term damage that would come with that and so just decided you know I'm just gonna try CrossFit and see what can be done and
Starting point is 02:30:19 It slowly helped build up a lot of strength And helped manage my anxiety and my hormones. Little did I know, as I was improving my health over the years, that my body was going to become fit enough to become pregnant. It made it possible for me to have her. Because here she is. Ram productions? Two brain business affiliate contest. Man, the gift that keeps giving and giving and giving.
Starting point is 02:30:59 This will be a, it's kind of be a mix on current internet behaviors. You'll learn about what it means to live rent free in someone's head, the definition of that. How to butt fuck someone on the internet and get paid, the difference between living rent free in someone's head and actually getting paid to butt fuck your Your Other people in your space so I Don't I don't remember exactly what what the where exactly where the story started, but I'm gonna start it here. There was a post
Starting point is 02:31:38 barbell spindle yesterday and I went in the comments and slapped John Wooley around a little bit. Ass pounded him a little bit. And, um, John Wooley is the guy who has this, uh, Instagram account, uh, here. Uh, this Wooley memeth account. Uh, bald dude speaks in a very like, uh, effeminate voice. Um, simps to Danny Spiegel Nikki brazer Kind of like our he's kind of like our Crossfit cuck I could you know, I would say you know what I mean? Like he's the he's the he's the Fembot in the ecosystem
Starting point is 02:32:22 I'm gonna look up. I haven't done this yet, I'm gonna look up living rent free in your head and I'm gonna give you a definition here and then and then you know I don't this is a Wooly's definition he uses the term a lot but I'm gonna go with it. This is a Google's AI definition. Living rent free in your head is a slang phrase That means someone or something is constantly occupying your thoughts Often without your conscious effort as if they're living in your mind without paying any mental rent Essentially, you can't stop thinking about them even if it might be a positive thing And
Starting point is 02:33:04 so I saw it twice in his responses that he was saying that I was living that sorry that he was living rent-free this wooly guy this mammoth guy that he was living rent-free in my head that was his response after I ass pounded him on Instagram. And to be, I'm sure he voted for Kamala and he believes in Bidenomics, but to be very, very clear, the economics behind it are not that he's living rent free in my head. It's that. I get paid to but fuck him he is a his relevancy is to me is as a he's more than use. I see more as like I just I put cheese in the mouse trap and catch a minute. Like I just, I put cheese in the mousetrap and catch him in it. And then take his carcass and feed it to my young.
Starting point is 02:34:12 That's more of the economics I see. But anyway, getting back to the, we have different economic views of the model. But this guy says this, that I'm rent-free in his head. So he says I'm preoccupied about him. And I went over to his story. And there was, oh, they're gone already. Oh, no, no, here they are. Maybe they're here. I went over to his story and there's three stories about me. One, two, three, oh, four. Four stories about me. Maybe there's more.
Starting point is 02:34:57 Let's see if there's more. Five, six, seven. Six Um Seven seven seven stories about me in his uh instagram But he's living rent-free in my head. Then there's a fucking post. There's a post about me. And it says I feel guilty living rent-free in this guy's head in this economy. this guy's head in this economy.
Starting point is 02:35:50 Seven stories in a post. And if that's not enough for you, he made an entire video about me. Not only did he make an entire video about me, but before he went on his Thanksgiving vacation, he made another post saying, I'll be responding to something I said somewhere else after I give it a week to think about it. There's this weird, you know, um, uh, not weird as in the right word, very simplistic, uh, psychological evaluation you can do on people where, you know, Hey, everything that that person's saying about me, they're saying about themselves. How much fucking time has this guy given, uh, to thinking about me?
Starting point is 02:36:54 Seven stories in the last 24 hours, a YouTube video, a post saying where he's going to think about it a week, a post. He made it. He made a comment in that post. In that post he did. He was referencing the fact that I liked my own comment or I liked my own post or I liked my own thing. He's internet policing me on etiquette of how to react to what you can and can't do when you post something. First of all, I like everything I post or I try to. I post something, I hit the
Starting point is 02:37:31 heart, I comment something, I hit the like. But this is a guy, this is the most insincere person in the CrossFit space. This is a guy who responds to every comment that someone comments to him with an insincere response just to help the algorithm. So let me get this straight. I can't like my post, which you're a fucking idiot if you don't like your own post. I mean like a moron. Why would you not like your own post? And yet he can comment, like you'll click on one of his posts and it'll say 50 comments,
Starting point is 02:38:16 but it's really 10 comments and he's responded to each one five times. But it's weird that I click a heart. I mean, I mean, your entire existence is simping, dude, and you're a fucking populist. And how can you use that phrase living rent-free? Was it me living rent-free in his head or whatever he said about me, him living rent-free in my head. Listen, dude, you're welcome in my head anytime. I love butt fucking you. It is my pleasure. I enjoy it. I'm appreciative of you. I thank you. I love how easy this is that you make seven posts, a fucking store, seven stories, a post and a fucking YouTube about me, but you're living rent free in my head. And of course you think you're living rent free. You're fucking
Starting point is 02:39:18 you're by dynamics guy. And dude, even if you were living rent free in my head, how is that like, thank you, then I then I thank you. Please please pick up after yourself. Willie has low t vibes. Yeah, of weird. Well that's because you're fucking you believe probably that everything that everyone you're feeling social pressure like somehow it's weird.
Starting point is 02:39:59 How would it be weird? Why wouldn't you? Why did you even write it? Let me tell you what's weird. Let me tell you what's weird. Let me tell you what's weird. Posting anything on Instagram is fucking weird. Fighting with anyone on Instagram is weird. Commenting on anything is weird.
Starting point is 02:40:15 Let me tell you what makes you a fucking cowardice cuck. Not liking your own post. So we've all already stepped into the faggotry of the internet. If you're commenting here, or you're commenting on Instagram, or on YouTube videos, dude, you're a fucking douche. But we've all stepped into, we've all accepted that. We've stepped into the, we've stepped into the douche world. You're fighting with some fucking rando living in a trailer in fucking Alabama about BLM.
Starting point is 02:40:45 Like listen, don't tell me on a scale of one to ten, fucking this fucking Bank of America fucking executive making spending his whole week thinking about me already makes him a fucking queer. I'm guilty too. I'm riding that cock all day. I'm a I'm a fucking cock guzzling faggot because I participate in the internet. I get it. But to like you want to in relativity to liking my own shit.
Starting point is 02:41:17 No, it's the opposite. It's like having butt sex without a condom. How is it fucking creepy or weird? To fucking like your own shit You think it's creepier speaking like you know shit you think it's creepy anyway, I'm gonna fucking argue with the TARS. That's just a That's just a social that's just that's like some sort of weird, uh, weird, uh, bullshit etiquette. It's the exact opposite.
Starting point is 02:41:52 If you ain't liking your own shit, then don't even fucking post it. Yeah, you automatically like your own post when you like it. Yeah, 100%. Yeah, you should. I'm always bummed when I go back and look, I didn't do that. Yeah, you should always like your own post. You should. I'm always bummed when I go back and look, I didn't do that. Yeah. You should always like your own posts. Why wouldn't you like your own post?
Starting point is 02:42:10 It's like that thing when people are like, that guy's an asshole. Why do you think that? Cause he talks about himself in the third person. Like who made that rule up that who gives a fuck if someone talks about themselves in the third person, what do I give a fuck? What's the implication of that? A semon likes the smell of his own farts. Correct. Correct. No, I do not like the smell of my own shit. David Weed likes the smell of his own shit. I do like to smell my own farts.
Starting point is 02:42:58 Yeah, this is a good point, Bernie. Which one of us in here in the chat is really wooly? Yeah, that is a great, that is a great, that is a great point. And he's welcome here. Two out of ten for my rant or two out of ten for my, for smelling your own shit. I just I kind of wish he was a little more logical and wasn't such an easy target. He's like when I think of tussling with wooly, it reminds me of those hunters that sit in blinds and shoot animals that are at feeders. Yeah, it's, it's, it's something about it feels a little inappropriate. Uh, Ken is a lap. Just use your own name in the chat. It's more freeing than Heidi.
Starting point is 02:44:17 And I would think, yeah, that's the kind of freedom that, um, that's the kind of freedom that most people don't want. They think they want that and then it scares the shit out of them. What happened to cave Dastro? All right. So now you guys learned some shit. You learned the definition of living rent free in someone's head. You learned that if someone makes fucking eight pieces of content sprinkled out through a week that, and then they say you're living rent free in their head that they're fucking

His shoulders are probably significantly wider than mine and so fucking thick. When you put your hand up, you could set up, you could set your beer on his shoulder. It's ridiculous.

Starting point is 02:55:34 Here we go. Okay. Turning the R word, we have demanded a school policy forbidding students and faculty from using that word. Retard. Excuse me. Retard. You can't even say it. So how do we talk about it? We all know your opinion on this, Jeremy, but right now I'm the one speaking.
Starting point is 02:55:58 Brothers and sisters, words only have power if we give them power. We must take back the word retard. Think of ours. Sweetheart, the rest of us find the word offensive. I'm not your sweetheart, bitch. Mrs. Cantage, I know you mean well, but many of us here think it's time that we reclaim and redefine the word. And since normies don't get called retard, they don't have a say in this. Normies do't get called retard, they don't have a say in this.
Starting point is 02:56:28 Normies do not get a say. What's a normie? That's bullshit. We get a say. Fuck you. I think it's slang for nonretards. Hey, Fabio, do you mind? Sorry. I don't care how it's used. I don't want anybody calling my son that word ever. It's incredibly hurtful.
Starting point is 02:56:44 Even if we did get rid of it, someone will just think of another way of saying it. That's right The queers took back their word. It's different. How's it different? It's not like race issues disappear if people stop saying nigger The fuck up I can say it you can retards We must band together the way to get respect is to take respects and normies can help us get that message out Raise your hand if you're with us. Yeah God they're so close, but they still miss the mark. God damn it So close so so so close That's not what I wanted to show you though
Starting point is 02:57:26 Where is it? Is it on? Someone just sent me this. This is so funny how things translate. Someone tell... What's going on with my... Did I just crash? Am I still up? Where is this where is this? Where is that picture? Oh, wrong account

Where the fuck is that post? I might have to wait till tomorrow. Oh yeah. Here it is. This is from Christoph Horvats Instagram account.
